Chapter 2077: Peace in the Territory
No matter what happens elsewhere, at least everything is fine in Anze Province.
All the people are grateful to Lord Shao and are thankful for him.
All of this was brought about by Lord Shao!
The changes in Anze Prefecture before and after Lord Shao came were so huge! If it weren't for Lord Shao, there would be no Anze Prefecture today.
It was Lord Shao who brought everything and changed everything.
Especially in these times of chaos in the world, Anzezhou cannot do without Lord Shao.
Not only do the common people think this way, but even the major families think the same way.
Thanks to Lord Shao, everyone's business is booming. Everyone is happy, but at the same time, they can't help but worry: What if the court orders Lord Shao to be transferred?
In such troubled times, having a reliable official is like a blessing from the ancestors!
If you think about it carefully, if an unreliable person came and took advantage of the chaos to make money, he would surely make the place a mess very soon.
When the time comes, no one will be able to escape, and everyone’s family will be in trouble.
So, Master Shao must stay...
They think that the current situation is good! Anzezhou City absolutely cannot be without Lord Shao!
Look, after Lord Shao came, there have been more years of bumper harvests. What do you call this? This is the blessing brought by a person with great luck!
But, what if?
What if the court transferred Lord Shao away?
Everyone was extremely worried.
Later, someone sneered and said, "Is there still a court nowadays? Which court is the real court? I think Lord Shao can't leave. If we don't let Lord Shao leave, the people's will will be hard to change, and the court won't be able to control it!"
This remark awakened everyone from their dream, and everyone suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.
"That's right!"
"Yes, I think that's the way it should be."
"The imperial court can't just ignore the lives of us common people, right? Why can't we just ask for a Lord Shao?"
"Humph, if they really send officials down, we will just chase them away."
"That's it!"
It's just that everyone said "drive them away" but they didn't necessarily mean it in their hearts. Driving them away wasn't very safe, so it would be better to kill them before they even got to Anzezhou...
It is not necessary to kill people. It is not difficult at all to make people unable to take office.
After thinking about this, every family in Anze Prefecture will feel much more at ease!
The winter of this year was exceptionally cold. In November, the wind was howling and the cold air swept across the country, making people shiver with desolation.
By this time, more than 4,000 refugees had been settled in Anze Prefecture.
By this time, there were basically no more refugees coming.
What was supposed to come has already come. At this time of year, no one would wander on the road. If you go on the road at this time, you might freeze to death on the road!
What's more, the three princes and major forces are now frantically recruiting manpower, and refugees are the most sought-after source. There are not enough people to fight for along the way, so how can Anzezhou City have any chance?
Shao Yunduan ordered people to demolish all the resettlement sites outside the city and restore them to their original state.
It’s actually quite good that there are no more refugees coming here.
He could not treat the refugees as slaves, order them around, beat them, and scold them as they pleased, as they did in other places. Whenever refugees came to him, at least he would not let them live in despair. As long as they were willing to work and had the ability to work, they could survive in Anze Prefecture.
