Chapter 126: Return to Fengcheng

Early the next morning, Zheng Yichen led people to distribute relief food door-to-door, which was not much, which could only ensure that the family could barely eat and eat within two days, but it was impossible to eat well and be full.

Xiao Jian led the Cao Liang guards outside the courtyard, watched Zheng Yichen walk out with the gratitude of the people in the courtyard, and left after exchanging for a while.

On the way to the next house, Xiao Jian followed behind Zheng Yichen with a slight frown, and asked suspiciously:

"Childe, although our food reserves are not much, there is no problem to meet the needs of the people of Jing'an to survive this flood, why does Lord Qu only distribute this bit of food to the people? ”

Zheng Yichen heard Xiao Jian's inquiry, and said with a smile:

"We do have a lot of food reserves, but there is a reason why we don't dare to distribute too much at the moment. ”

"First of all, this flood has spread a wide range, and no one knows when and where a bunch of refugees will come, and if you don't make more preparations, you will inevitably be in a hurry!"

"The second reason is that because we urgently need manpower to go out to clean the mountain roads, if every household has food to eat, who wants to go to the mountains and roll around and get covered in mud?"

Xiao Jian listened carefully, and after thinking about it, this is indeed the truth, and he sighed:

"I see, are the people willing to help clean up the mountain road now?"

Zheng Yichen didn't think much about it, and smiled lightly:

"That's the matter of Master Qu and Master Wu, we don't need to inquire too much. ”

Under the joint efforts of Zheng Yichen, Qu Hao and Wu Yan, the people were really mobilized, and each family sent out one or two men in order to obtain additional food, and the manpower needed to clean up the mountain road was raised in just one day.

Wu Yan led people to take charge of public security, Qu Hao needed to sit in the city, and the work of cleaning up the mountain roads naturally fell on Zheng Yichen, fortunately, Zheng Yichen had a good reputation in the hearts of the people a few times before, and everyone was willing to obey Zheng Yichen's arrangements and commands, so there was no major problem.

...

...

"Come, one or two!"

With a shout, the four men struggled to lift a falling stone and walked towards the accumulation yard on the side, Zheng Yichen stood on a high place, wiped his face with a sweat towel, his cuffs rolled up high, his hands were covered with dust, and he obviously went to work in the field again, and a county governor in charge of specific construction command hurried to report to Zheng Yichen's side.

"Third son, the construction progress is good, according to this calculation, the mountain road can be rushed through at noon tomorrow. ”

Zheng Yichen nodded when he heard this, looking at the mountains in the distance, thick clouds could be seen in the distance, the sky and the earth were a little dark, and he was obviously immersed in the continuous rainstorm.

"It's good to be able to get through tomorrow. ”

Zheng Yichen muttered to himself, as if groaning, and after a while, he suddenly looked at Xiao Jian on the side and ordered:

"After the mountain road is opened tomorrow, we will take a short rest and set off, I see that the clouds and rain seem to be deflecting towards Fengcheng, we will go back as soon as possible, maybe we can help some." ”

Xiao Jian immediately nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

Zheng Yichen took a short rest, and then watched the situation around the world, and then went down to the ground again, the people saw Zheng Yichen doing things with them again, their morale increased greatly, and their hands moved a little faster, the county governor saw this, and was surprised, and he felt a little admiration in his heart, how could he have ever seen such a rich and noble child?

The construction team made rapid progress under the personal drive of Zheng Yichen, and was even rushed through early the next morning, Zheng Yichen and Wu Yan did not delay, took the grain guards to leave, and returned to Fengcheng along the mountain road.

Because the rain stopped nearby for a few days, the soil was dry and hard, and the group did not worry about mudslides and other disasters, and there was no grain truck to drag them down, so they walked very fast, and rushed back to the city when it was about to fall at night.

Wu Yan and Zheng Yichen said goodbye and went to hand in their tasks, but Wu Yan went to Zhang Zimo's mansion after handing over the errand.

The night was cold, the stove in the house was extremely hot, making the whole house warm, Wu Yan walked for a day, and at this time he took a little rest, holding a cup of hot tea, drinking it slowly, and the hot water went down to his stomach, as if to dispel the fatigue of Sunday.

After half a ring, Wu Yan drank three cups of tea in a row, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and Wu Yan immediately stood up when he heard it.

The door was pushed open, and the wet rain outside the door brought a cold and gloomy wind, blowing the desk lights, Zhang Zimo took off his coat, didn't have time to drink a sip of hot tea, and leaked an apologetic smile:

"I'm really sorry, I'm busy with business, I've been waiting for a long time!"

Zhang Zimo's posture was modest, but Wu Yan didn't dare to have the slightest support, so he hurriedly bowed his head, and his tone was extremely respectful:

"What did the military advisor say, but the last general still came to disturb him late at night, it really shouldn't be!"

Zhang Zimo sat down, shook his hand with a smile, took a sip of the hot tea handed by his entourage, exhaled a breath of hot air comfortably, held the teacup in his hand to warm it, glanced at Wu Yan, and said:

"How's it going?"

Wu Yan knew that he had reached the point, thought about it slightly, and said:

"The performance of the third prince all the way is really admired by the last general. ”

When Zhang Zimo heard Wu Yan actually give such an evaluation, curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he asked with a smile;

"Oh, let's hear more!"

Wu Yan immediately explained Zheng Yichen's experience all the way, especially the three things of warning of landslides, taking people out of the mountain on a rainy night, and assisting Qu Hao to stabilize Jing'an City.

Zhang Zimo listened very seriously, and when Wu Yan finished speaking, his eyes showed undisguised appreciation and relief, and then he asked some details to make sure that Wu Yan was not talking nonsense before letting the other party go back to rest.

"I really didn't expect that the third prince had changed so much during this time, could it be that he was hiding clumsily before?"

Zhang Zimo was surprised by Zheng Yichen's performance, and was also curious about Zheng Yichen's sudden change, thought for a while and had no clue, shook his head with a smile and whispered:

"Hey, whatever, it's a good thing to behave like this. ”

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zimo put down the teacup, picked up the wolf hair on the side, dipped it in ink, and began to write down in detail the performance of Zheng Yichen and Zheng Yilang after completing the first thing in hand.

In the middle of the night, looking at the three pages of letterhead covered with small seals, Zhang Zimo checked it one last time, and saw that there were no omissions and discrepancies, so he called the people who had been waiting outside the door and asked them to send the letter together with the disaster report.

The letter successfully reached Zheng Xuan's hands three days later, he was worried about the disaster area, he first read the report a few times, and then opened the letter, just read a few lines, Zheng Xuan's face changed, his eyes smiled slightly, three pages were read quickly, but he read it several times as if he was not addicted, even more than the disaster report, until the end did he leak a clear smile.

"Also... Yes, yes, that's good!"
