The next day, early morning.
The people under the city wall got up hungry.
Originally, I was planning to wait outside the city to distribute porridge, but I didn't expect the city gates to be wide open.
"The gates are open!"
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that the city lord has shown mercy and is willing to let us into the city?"
"Great! We are saved!"
People gathered towards the city gate.
There was a pair of soldiers at the foot of the city, all of them wearing armor, holding spears in their hands and long swords on their waists.
"Should we let him in or not?"
...
...
"Opening the city gates and sending a seriously ill person to guard them, what does this mean?"
People began to raise doubts.
The sensible people said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Before we came to seek refuge, General Shen told us that the officials in Zhiyi City are good and he will properly accommodate us."
"You don't trust the officials of Zhiyi City, so don't you trust General Shen?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had been arguing about the issue immediately shut up.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Shen Zheng's words are more effective than those of their parents.
There is a saying that goes, "It is better not to listen to your parents than to go against Shen Zheng's words."
At this moment, Xiao Jingzhou came out.
Lu Chen held a megaphone and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
The ragged people looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Prince? Which prince?"
"There are several princes in the Great Jing Dynasty. Are you starving and fainting?"
"But why did the current Crown Prince return to the North?"
"Other things are fine, but Zhiyi City is a place of exile!"
"Don't worry about it, kneel down first, or I'll punish you for something you didn't deserve!"
The people outside the city knelt down and saluted.
Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "No need to be polite."
The people stood up one after another, and Lu Chen handed the loudspeaker in his hand to Xiao Jingzhou.
"I was fortunate to have the protection of the gods and to have some food.
Since you have come to seek refuge in Zhiyi City, I promise to provide you with two meals a day and settle down in the city. ”
Xiao Jingzhou's words rekindled the hope of life for the people outside the city.
“General Shen mentioned that the good official in Zhiyi City turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
We are saved, we are saved! ”
Gu Zhenbei took over the loudspeaker and said, "Those who have received the inspection tokens in the past two days, follow me into the city.
The rest of the people waited outside the city to see the doctor.
Don't have any bad intentions. The tokens all have their own names. If they don't match, you will be treated as a spy.
In the worst case, they will be expelled from the city and left to die, and in the worst case, they will be beheaded immediately! ”
After these words were spoken, those who wanted to take advantage of the situation and steal the token no longer dared to act rashly.
Just as Xiao Jingzhou was about to turn around and go back to the city, the people in front of him knelt on the ground.
"Please, Your Highness, save Yuan Feng."
"Save Shen Zheng, General Shen!"
"General Shen is a good officer, he can't just die like this!"
It was the first time for Lu Chen to see the people so united, and for the sake of others.
No!
He has seen it!
On the day His Highness was exiled, the people of the capital came out to see him off.
Those who don’t know might think it is a triumphant return of the army.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xiao Jingzhou: "Your Highness?"
Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "Let's discuss it later."
After he said that, he turned and went back to the city.
Lu Chen followed behind Xiao Jingzhou and asked in a low voice: "Does your Highness have any concerns?"
Xiao Jingzhou said: "I have asked Minister Qian to send someone to deliver food to Yuanfeng.
There will be no other problems in the short term.
The original people came to me for help at this time, but they had to be on guard. ”
Xiao Jingzhou returned to the government office and called Qi Hou over.
He gave a few instructions and Qi Hou's face turned red.
Qi Hou stammered, "A woman... a woman..."
Xiao Jingzhou's face turned dark instantly. He suppressed his anger and said, "You wish!"
Qi Hou didn't react for a moment and was a little at a loss.
"Your Highness, you know I'm not very smart, so why don't you explain it clearly?"
Xiao Jingzhou held his forehead with his hand, somewhat regretting having handed the matter over to him.
Lu Chen suggested, "Go find Madam Yang. She will take care of it."
"Oh, oh, oh," Qi Hou suddenly realized. He scratched his head and smiled innocently, "I thought so!"
Qi Hou turned around and saw Xiao Jingzhou with a stern face, feeling a little guilty.
He bowed respectfully and said, "I will do it right away!"
After saying that, Qi Hou ran away as if he had greased his feet.
Xiao Jingzhou ordered his men to close the central gate and use one quarter of the city to accommodate the refugees.
Wei Wenshan registered these people and arranged accommodation for them.
The city was fully occupied in one day.
He followed Xiao Jingzhou's instructions and had his men sweep the streets clean and set up tents.
The people who were allocated tents had no complaints.
The houses are all populated by elderly people, and since they are in better health, they feel embarrassed to compete with the elderly.
What's more, they found the tents novel.
Especially officials, make them lie in bags at night.
Will this warm you up?
The sky was getting darker and darker, and they had no time to think too much.
Those who feel very cold have already started to crawl into their sleeping bags.
As the population of Zhiyi City increases, houses are inevitably needed.
Xiao Jingzhou ordered people to start digging the foundation and building a new house.
When the charcoal was being burned, the people of Zhiyi City brought back a lot of tree stumps from outside the city.
It is most suitable for building houses nowadays.
Xiao Jingzhou ordered people to gather carpenters, and those books came in handy.
All the refugees outside the city were approaching the city, and Zhiyi City also received good news.
"Your Highness, it's a good harvest!"
"You should go and have a look!"
Xiao Jingzhou had just finished washing up and was about to go to the front hall to have breakfast when he heard Lu Chen's voice approaching from afar and strode out of the room.
Lu Chen was running out of breath, with Gu Shijie following behind him.
The two young men couldn't stop smiling.
Gu Shijie said: "Your Highness, my father asked you to go to the greenhouse."
Xiao Jingzhou's footsteps were brisk: "Let's go!"
The three of them walked into the greenhouse, where everyone was waiting.
The construction of the greenhouse and the planting took less than two months.
Crops are extremely difficult to grow in winter, and it is difficult for the nobles in the capital to eat green vegetables at this time of year.
I didn’t expect that I could pick fresh vegetables in such a short time.
Xiao Jingzhou's eyes were filled with lush green vegetables, and he was so excited that he didn't know how to express it in words.
Zheng Shuyu said: "It really is worthy of being a vegetable from the fairyland!"
“If we farm this way, we can have green leafy vegetables to eat in winter.
If it can grow stronger, the tenant farmers will probably wake up laughing in their dreams! ”
Gu Zhenbei reminded: "Your Highness, please pick the first bunch of vegetables and present it to the goddess."
"Thank you for the gift, goddess."
Lu Chen presented a pair of exquisite scissors.
Xiao Jingzhou took the scissors and walked into the greenhouse.
This greenhouse grows the most vegetables, including spinach, celery, and Chinese cabbage...
They were originally planted together in order to check their growth and to facilitate arrangements for watering and fertilizing in each greenhouse.
Xiao Jingzhou picked two cabbages.
He took another look at the celery and immediately turned around to pick the spinach.
Yuer doesn't like eating celery.
Give me more spinach, Yuer loves it!
