At the end of March of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Zhi prepared to accompany Li Yuan to return to Chang'an City.

On this day, Li Zhi got up early to say goodbye to Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Lei and the officials of the Governor's Mansion.

Feng Ang came to Guangzhou City a day in advance.

He admired Li Zhi's personality very much, so he decided to come to see him off in person.

After Li Yuan's guard of honor was ready, the mighty procession set off from the courtyard and headed in the direction of the dock.

Li Zhi walked in the middle of the crowd and chatted with Feng Ang and others from time to time.

When the crowd reached the main road leading to the outside of the city, the procession suddenly stopped.

Without waiting for Li Zhi to ask questions, he saw the team in front of him suddenly split to both sides.

Li Zhi's gaze looked forward, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Both sides of the road were already kneeling with people at this time.

These people have been kneeling here silently for an unknown amount of time.

From Li Zhi's line of sight, there was no end in sight.

Li Zhi could not maintain his image.

He walked briskly out of the encirclement of officials and guards and walked towards the nearest people.

When the people saw Li Zhi's figure, they immediately began to chant with their heads: Congratulations to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I wish His Highness a safe and smooth journey.

Li Zhi reached out to hold the arm of an old man, trying to help him up.

Unexpectedly, the old man refused to live or die.

I only heard him speak: "Little Lao'er has been doing business in this Guangzhou City for half his life, and only after the arrival of His Royal Highness alone can he really feel as a human being.

Xiao Lao'er thanked His Royal Highness for removing corrupt officials and corrupt officials for our businessmen, and giving us and other businessmen a good future. ”

After saying this, he leaned down and bowed heavily.

Li Zhi heard a "knock".

This sound was like a heavy hammer slammed into Li Zhi's heart.

The tears that he had been holding back suddenly poured down like a floodgate.

At the same time, everyone else who was close before them was all knocked to the ground.

Everyone opened their mouths to thank Li Zhi for punishing the corrupt officials in Guangzhou City for them.

Li Zhi once again supported the old man and said in his mouth: "As a prince, this king does everything for his own society, how can he afford such a big gift from the old man?"

The old man hurry up, don't make it difficult for this king. ”

The old man slowly got up with Li Zhi's support.

Words of thanks continued to be spoken.

After Li Zhi helped the old man up, he came to the center of the road and said: "Everyone, please get up quickly, this king is young, and he really deserves such a big gift." ”

After saying this, he clasped his hands into fists and kept saluting both sides.

The people on both sides were unmoved, and still lay on the ground with their bodies thrown to the ground.

Duan Zhixuan walked quickly to Li Zhi's side and whispered: "Your Highness, hurry forward, and when Your Highness leaves, the crowd will get up." ”

After listening to Duan Zhixuan's words, Li Zhi hurriedly took a step.

As he walked, he kept saluting the crowd on either side.

At the same time, he comforted in his mouth: "Everyone, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." ”

The entire guard of honor also moved under the leadership of Li Zhi.

Li Yuan, who was sitting in the giant carriage, had already seen all this through the thin curtain.

At this moment, Li Yuan's face showed an extremely relieved smile.

As Li Zhi continued to move forward, the people behind him finally began to get up slowly.

They quietly followed the line and silently headed out of the city.

Li Zhi kept bowing along the way, and only in this way could he feel a little at ease.

The people who saw them off included all walks of life.

Some of them are city vendors, and some are artisans who work for a living.

There is also a large part of them are foreign businessmen.

They all thanked Li Zhi from the bottom of their hearts for the business environment they had created.

When Li Zhi walked halfway, he suddenly saw countless familiar figures.

These people were all former Tuyuhun prisoners of war.

They were all on their knees and weeping.

If there is anyone who is most reluctant to leave Li Zhi at this time, then it must be these people who are not surprised.

Their original fate should have been forced to help Datang reclaim a large amount of land.

Then they were either sold into slavery or driven to a barren land to fend for themselves.

In the process, no one would have cared about their lives or deaths.

Even being well fed and clothed is a luxury.

However, Li Zhi not only fed them well and built houses, but also prepared medicinal herbs for them to prevent them from getting sick.

If these are considered the graces of life, then what Li Zhi will do next will be reinvented.

He obtained household registration, allocated land, and built a farm.

He allowed these people to not only live, but to live better than most of the people.

Now that their reborn parents are about to leave their side, how can they be reluctant?

Li Zhi stopped his steps again.

These people have been with him for so long, and he is also a little reluctant.

Li Zhi walked up to a teenager and grabbed his arm.

Then he said with all his strength: "Zhang Dazhuang, the name that this king gave you is not good at all.

You have to find an opportunity to read some books and give yourself a nice name. ”

Zhang Dazhuang said with tears in his eyes: "Da Zhuang can read, but Da Zhuang will not change his name when he dies."

This is given to Da Zhuang by His Royal Highness, and I will carefully write it down in the family tree in the future. ”

Li Zhi was amused by his words, but the tears also flowed more.

He patted Zhang Dazhuang's arm and said, "Whatever you want, it's not this king who is being laughed at anyway." ”

After saying this, he walked to Wang Xiaoyi on the side again.

Li Zhi helped him up and said, "The land of Lingnan is too dangerous, you must pay attention to protecting yourself when you work." ”

Wang Xiaoyi cried and nodded, but he was so convulsive that he couldn't speak at all.

Li Zhi picked up Kuai Dafu on the side again, and said to him: "I have made a lot of progress in the past few months, you must always remember the words of this king, do you know?" ”

Kuai Dafu cried and said, "Remember! ”

Next, Li Zhi helped many people one after another.

Some of these people were the first prisoners of war, some were later victims, and many were ordinary people of the winged tribe.

The people of the bureaucracy did not have contact with Li Zhi for a long time, but Li Zhi did not give them a lesson.

At first, these people didn't even know how to avoid going to the toilet.

Sometimes I don't even pick a place.

If only it were men.

Even women don't see much better.

Many women carry their children to work.

When the child is hungry, they will feed the child directly in front of people.

Li Zhiguang wasted a lot of time just helping them develop hygiene habits.

Not to mention, let them understand what etiquette and shame are.

Now these people finally felt Li Zhi's kindness to them, and came all the way to see Li Zhi off.
