The fire in the city had weakened a lot, but there was still no sign of it being extinguished, and the entire sky was lit up bright red.

The people went in and picked up a lot of charcoal, and there were fires burning everywhere.

"Should we give out porridge or distribute food directly?"

Wang Zheng finished the tea in the bamboo cup, handed it to Chen Fengning and said, "Give them two cups of food per person. We must maintain order and there must be no fighting."

Wang Zheng's cup is only two taels in size. In fact, the people still have some grain in their hands, and Wang Zheng distributes grain just to appease people's hearts.

As long as these disaster victims know that someone is looking after them, they will not cause trouble.

"Tell them that we will go to Zhang's Fort to settle down tomorrow. Those who are willing to follow us can get two cups of food every day. Those who are willing to work will not only have free food and accommodation, but also five cents a day in wages."

Wang Zheng smiled and asked, "Are they all from your farm?"

If other aristocratic families from other places get involved, support the common people and fight against the local aristocratic families, the situation will become more complicated.

“We keep you here so that you can stand on the side of the common people. There must be many people who have lost their property deeds. When the time comes, as long as their neighbors can prove their identities, you will have to make the decision for them.

Wang Zheng took an indifferent attitude towards this. It would be fine to give them a chance of freedom if they survived the disaster. As long as they were willing to follow, Wang Zheng would give them a new identity.

When Wang Zheng left the next day, only more than 10,000 people chose to follow him, because the aristocratic families announced last night that they would rebuild Yuzhou City and the wages would be the same as Wang Zheng's.

Wang Zheng did not just ignore those who stayed behind. Instead, he kept Chen Fengning and gave him five hundred sickle-lance warriors.

Wang Zheng arrived at Zhang's Fortress, where all the troops had gathered and all the things had been transported back.

Watching Wu Yi being surrounded by the Ba people and leaving, Wang Zheng had the illusion that his son had grown up.

Wang Zheng nodded and said, "Then take the people from your farm back. I am very pleased that you have their support. Do your job well in the future. If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, you can write to me.

Those who own property in the city will naturally stay at this time. Only those who have nothing will choose to follow Wang Zheng and leave, including many escaped slaves who are trying to take advantage of the situation.

Chen Fengning bowed and said, "I understand, and I will not let the steward down."

Later, Wu Yi came on horseback to see Wang Zheng, surrounded by more than a dozen sickle-wielding warriors. It was obvious that the Ba people liked him very much.

When he saw Wang Zheng, Wu Yi quickly dismounted and came over to greet him.

Therefore, historical records often record that the bloody suppression of riots was actually necessary, especially when it was absolutely not wrong to raise the butcher knife against the aristocratic families.

He even took out 100,000 dan of grain to appease the people. If those aristocratic families were not sensible, Wang Zheng would not mind letting them become the next Zhang family.

People who cannot survive will naturally choose to stick together. Whether they resist or occupy the mountain and become king, there will be endless troubles.

There are more than 100,000 people in Yuzhou City. Excluding those from aristocratic families, the remaining people should be around 70,000 to 80,000. Excluding those from wealthy families, the number of people who really need disaster relief is no more than 50,000.

Wu Yi nodded vigorously. "They were all very kind to me. When I was captured, some of them risked their lives to save me. They even lost more than a dozen men for this. They were all brothers and uncles who treated me very well."

Wu Yi bowed again and said, "I've made note of this. I will always think about your teachings in the future. Take care, sir."

"Take care of yourself, too."

When wealthy people flee, they always bring some valuables with them. Wang Zheng only needs to ensure their safety and provide them with food and sell it to them at a fair price. Five cents a day's wages are not worth it.

Wang Zheng's role now is to deter. As long as Wang Zheng stays in Yuzhou, these aristocratic families here will not dare to act recklessly. Now Wang Zheng has made clear his attitude to provide disaster relief.

"Um."

After Chen Fengning left, Wang Zheng said goodbye to Xia Yuxian, Xie Zonghuai and others. His main purpose was to hand over the Zhang clan members to them. Treason was a serious crime, so it would be more appropriate to leave it to Xie Zonghuai, the recorder and military officer, to handle.

Wu Yi's eyes turned red as he spoke, and Wang Zheng patted him on the shoulder, "It's all in the past, just take good care of their families in the future."

A very good doll.

In this matter, you can make the decision on my behalf. You can be tougher. This attitude is also the attitude we will take to survive here in the future. Don't weaken my authority."

"I know what to do. I came here to say goodbye to you, sir. There are still many things to do on the farm, and the spring ploughing is about to begin."

Although Yuzhou was burned down, the most important facilities such as the city walls, foundations, roads, and sewers were still intact, so it was relatively easy to rebuild them. After all, the ground buildings were only one story high.

In fact, after every disaster, what we need to guard against most is the powerful families uniting together to cause trouble to the local area. For example, they would drive up prices and squeeze the living space of ordinary people in order to seize their houses and real estate.

The teacher has nothing to teach you. The real knowledge cannot be learned by teaching. The best teacher is actually life. When you encounter things in your daily life, think about them from different angles and you will gain a lot. "

Before leaving, Wang Zheng distributed some money and food to them. The archers still received one or two taels of silver each, the sickle-wielding warriors received three hundred coins each, and the spearmen received two hundred coins each. The food was the same, ten kilograms per person.

The longest journey back is only two or three days. Ten kilograms of food is enough for their needs on the road. The farms are not short of food, so giving them more is useless.

Thanks to the timely firefighting, only a small part of the Zhang's Fort was burned. Originally, there were several thousand people living in it, and the remaining space could accommodate more than 10,000 people if they squeezed in. However, Wang Zheng did not plan to let the victims live there.

Looking at the victims who kept coming, Wang Zheng instructed Zhang San: "First, give each of them two cups of food, and then let them form their own teams, regardless of whether they are old, weak, women, children, or young and strong.

Three hundred people form a small team, each team has a captain and three deputy captains, three thousand people form a large team, each team also has a captain and three deputy captains, let yourself choose the captain and deputy captain. "
