Chapter 744: Zheng Shicheng's Influence
Sheng Ze didn't expect these people to know about Zheng Shicheng, and when he heard this, he immediately affirmed: "Everyone, it's Lord Zheng who can't bear to see the people of Chenzhou suffering, so he sent us to pick up people......
He improvised a paragraph about Zheng Shicheng being rescued by the masters and going to northern Hubei Province, and then worried about the people in Chenzhou and the surrounding areas, paying attention to everyone's reactions while talking.
Soon he understood that he had made the right bet, this was a group of people who went to Qishan from Chenzhou!
"Is Lord Zheng really alive? Is he really in northern Hubei? An old man came out of the hut tremblingly.
Sheng Ze arched his hand and said sincerely: "Yes, Lord Zheng is now assisting General Liang in managing the affairs of northern Hubei Province, and the old man can rest assured." ”
"Thank God, let Master Zheng survive!" The old man fell to his knees with a puff and wept silently.
This group of them is a group of people who have enjoyed the dividends of Zheng Shicheng's governance period, and their feelings for Zheng Shicheng are special.
Now that they suddenly heard the news that Zheng Shicheng was still alive, these people were very excited, and at the same time relaxed their vigilance against Sheng Ze and others.
Think about it, which liar knows their feelings for Zheng Shicheng? It doesn't make sense to deceive someone who is dead in the eyes of outsiders, right?
So, this group of people quickly unified their thoughts and sent a few people out to learn about the situation in northern Hubei with Sheng Ze and them.
After making sure that the drought in northern Hubei was not serious, and that there was water to drink and irrigate every day, he decided to go with them.
"This son, can we really get the land in the past? Is it wasteland or fertile land? ”
"Are taxes high in northern Hubei? How much tax do I have to pay each year? ”
"Our food is almost finished, don't you really have to go hungry when you go to northern Hubei?"
“……”
A series of questions made people dizzy, but Sheng Ze and they all answered them one by one.
"I will certainly give you half of the land, half of the wasteland and half of the good land; The tax is 20% lighter than before, and you have just passed, and you will not pay the tax until next year's autumn harvest; When you arrive in northern Hubei Province, Lord Zheng will arrange your food and lodging problems......"
With answers to these questions, everyone was quickly reassured.
And the old man in the lead also took the initiative to tell Sheng Ze the location of the other people they knew.
"Alas, we are all close to the village, but we are afraid of being robbed by the Jun people, so we went into the mountains together, there are many of them, and they occupy a place with a stream, and the mountain spring here may also be gone, and this day is really impossible to live......
When Sheng Ze heard this, he immediately asked people to appease the group of people first, and then take the old man to find others.
There is no suspense, with the help of the old man, these people are all willing to go with Sheng Ze and them.
Before this, he never expected Zheng Shicheng's influence to be so great, every time the old man mentioned Zheng Shicheng, these people's hesitant attitudes immediately changed.
It seems that Zheng Shicheng really made political achievements in Chenzhou at the beginning, and he was so supported by the people.
Three days later, Sheng Ze and their 100 people converged, except for the two teams who didn't find anyone, they were able to bring back 5,000 people at a time this time!
This number is really something that everyone didn't expect, but the Qishan Mountain Range is endless, and it is not easy to find these 5,000 people scattered into the mountains.
Now that the person has been found, it is natural to bring the person back as soon as possible.
It was too eye-catching for five thousand people to walk together, Sheng Ze and they divided into five groups, staggered the time to set off, and agreed to meet in the lower reaches of the Lanjiang River.
The other four groups all went down the mountain smoothly, but something happened here in Shengze.
Before they were about to descend the mountain, they actually met the Jun people.
This is nothing, to Sheng Ze's surprise, the leader of this group of Jun people is actually an acquaintance.
