Chapter 682: Royal Face Must Not Be Lost

Wen County withstood the news of the attack of the Liukou army, and soon left in the surrounding counties.

At this time, there was still chaos around Huaiqing Mansion, hundreds of thousands of rogues gathered here, and the common people didn't know where to go to be safe.

As soon as they heard that Wen County was so powerful, the ordinary people who had been ruined by the rogues and hid in Tibet in fear dragged their children and daughters to Wen County.

When they arrived here, they were surprised to find that such a big official as the governor of Henan was actually sitting in this small county town.

The dilapidated county town even provided food and jobs for all the refugees.

All of a sudden, the people suddenly felt that they had come to the right place.

Faster influx to Wen County......

The population quickly climbed to 5,000, 6,000, 7,000...... It's getting better every day.

When there was no population, Chen Yuanbo couldn't do anything decent, but once the population increased, Chen Yuanbo and the junior high school students he brought with him could show their strengths.

"The county yamen is now openly recruiting 500 handymen, whose work is to clean up the burned houses in the city, pick up rocks and carry soil, and take out the garbage, and the salary is three catties of flour a day."

"The county yamen is now in urgent need of recruiting a group of workers who understand construction skills to carry out post-disaster reconstruction work, and pay wages according to the standard of skilled workers, three taels of silver per month."

"The county yamen is about to build a cement factory, and now a large number of apprentices are needed, once they can learn cement manufacturing technology and take charge of themselves, they can enjoy the treatment of skilled workers."

"The county yamen recruits people who can cook, provides food for the workers, and gives priority to the elderly, weak, women and children."

A lot of jobs were thrown out.

Those with technology and those without technology can find their place.

The people who entered Wenxian County were moved to tears, they can live here, they can live.

There are strong soldiers to protect them, and lucrative jobs to offer them.

Both safety and food and clothing are guaranteed.

So what are you waiting for?

Roll up your sleeves and work hard!

The small Wen County instantly radiated a greater vitality.

The ruined county began to be reborn at a rapid pace.

Today a section of the city wall will be thickened and thickened, tomorrow a block will be cleared, and a new house will be built the day after tomorrow......

This efficiency made Fan Shangxiao, the governor of Henan who was temporarily stationed here, also stunned.

He has been the prefect of the county, the prefecture, and the prefect, and has been promoted to the position of governor one by one, and has done countless administrative work before, but he has never seen Chen Yuanbo so arrogant.

"Chen County Order, you need a huge amount of money to do this. And the county treasury of Wen County has already been looted by the rogues, how can it hold on? Fan Shangxiao couldn't help but ask like this.

"Of course, it's with Xiao Qixia's help." Chen Yuanbo said with a smile: "Xiao Qixia's family has a lot of money, and his family can afford to support this money and food." ”

Fan Shangxiao said in a low voice: "But, no matter how rich his family is, why did he come here to support this small county town so desperately?" ”

Chen Yuanbo: "It's not for the common people, alas! Lord Governor, in fact, in a situation like the current situation in Wen County, the imperial court should allocate funds and send a large amount of money and grain to help the common people tide over this difficulty. But the court doesn't stretch out his hand, and even you, as the governor of a province, have no choice, so Xiao Qixia can only take out his family assets. ”

Fan Shangxiao: "......"

As the governor of a province, he can actually transfer money and grain from other counties to support the development of Wen County.

However, he didn't dare to help the victims as generously as Chen Yuanbo, at most he could only squeeze out a small amount of financial allocation, barely so that the people would not starve to death.

Because, there is not much money and grain that can be transferred in the entire Henan Province, and Fan Shangxiao is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice.

Forget it, don't think about it.

Fan Shangxiao's biggest headache now is how to relieve the siege of Huaiqing Mansion......

However, the good news is imminent.

A force of about 2,000 officers and soldiers came from the west and walked into Wen County.

The first general is Zuo Liangyu, deputy chief soldier of Shanxi.

The Shanxi army was finally able to cross the border and come to Henan to suppress bandits.

It turned out that the news of Liukou's entry into Henan frightened the gentry in Henan. Headed by Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, a large group of gentry and nobles jointly asked for help.

The power of these people's joint names is more effective than the emperor's personal decree.

Because the emperor personally issued a holy decree, it is also possible that the civil officials will go against the tune and engage in disobedience to the yang and the yin.

However, the interests of the gentry and aristocracy were basically the same as those of the civil bureaucracy.

The civilian clique immediately eliminated all difficulties, and in special cases, the military department urgently issued an order to transfer Zuo Liangyu to Henan, and the soldiers pointed directly at Huaiqing.

In addition, the border army of Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, passed through Yangcheng, Zezhou, Gaoping, Changzhi, Tunliu and other counties, and chased the Liukou.

The white pole soldiers in the middle of the river were also moving towards Huaiqing Mansion at the same time.

In an instant, the offensive and defensive momentum changed again.

The court seems to be able to do it again, and the rogues seem to be unable to do it again-

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Youzhen looked at a "letter from home" and frowned.

The "family letter" was written by his uncle, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun.

In the letter, he first pulled the family routine, nonsense 100 million words, and then the wind changed, and he began to cry, saying that the royal family was bullied. A piece of land under the jurisdiction of King Fu's Mansion was occupied by the squire, and he went to collect the rent, but the squire still didn't pay it.

Forcibly occupying the royal land is a heinous crime, please ask the emperor to decide.

When Zhu Youzhen saw this letter, he couldn't help crying and laughing, and invited the commander of the Jinyi Guard to ask: "What is the situation in Xiaolangdi?" Why did someone dare to occupy the royal prince's fiefdom? ”

The commander of Jinyiwei also couldn't cry or laugh: "Your Majesty, the place in Xiaolangdi has been making trouble with water thieves since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Yellow Turban Army has been entrenched for a long time. Although it is called the fiefdom of Fuwangfu, in fact, for many years, Fuwangfu has not been able to manage there. ”

Zhu Youzhen: "Huh? ”

The commander of Jinyiwei continued: "A while ago, there was a squire named White Kite, relying on his own private soldiers and militia groups, he leveled the water thieves at Xiaolangdi, relocated a large number of refugees to live there, and reorganized the waters of Xiaolangdi. At present, the water thieves are basically wiped out, and the Fuwang Mansion wants to take back the land, but the squire naturally refuses......"

Zhu Youzhen understood when he heard this: "I see, tsk, I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small thing?" ”

The commander of the Jinyi Guard sighed: "Although it is a small matter, the royal face must not be lost. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "Well, the royal face must not be lost." Send someone to say hello to the governor of Henan. Let him take action to get back the piece of land in Xiaolangdi and hand it over to King Fu's Mansion. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, put this matter behind him, and continued to correct his recital.
