Chapter 339 I've Concentrated A Lot

The people hated the city guards to the core, so the city guards were mourned at home for more than ten days, but they were blocked by the road and could not be buried.

Later, Zheng Renhou ordered people to wrap the body with a straw mat and carry it to the outside of the city to bury it. At this point, this matter came to an end.

But at that time, Chen Xian and the others had already left Jiangnan. This is all a story.

In the city that was originally deserted and deserted, a lot of popularity suddenly became more popular after the refugees came in and settled in the inn.

Every inn is full of refugees. They are very satisfied with the fact that they can shelter from wind and rain, so they all abide by the rules and never have any turmoil.

Outside the inn, there are officials who provide porridge and food on time every day, and refugees can line up to get porridge and food for food.

Chen Xian has also visited the refugee area in person.

When the refugees saw Chen Xian coming from afar, they shouted happily: "Princess Jingxian is here!"

The refugees were grateful to Chen Xian, and even the people in the city admired and loved her.

The people in the city spontaneously organized the unfinished old clothes at home to the refugee area so that these refugees can have clothes to keep the cold and spend the winter.

The people are originally connected to each other, and only when they help each other in times of trouble show their true feelings.

Eight hundred miles in the capital were rushed and sent a second imperial edict. Both of them ordered Chen Xian to return to Beijing immediately.

Now the head of Jiangnan City is Zheng Renhou, so the imperial edict was handed over to Zheng Renhou and asked him to announce the edict on his behalf.

Zheng Renhou did not dare to neglect, and hurried to meet with the imperial edict in his hand.

But he failed to see Chen Xian, but he saw Su Zhe under the corridor.

Su Zhe said: "The princess, Deputy Envoy He and General Qin went to visit the refugees together. Are you looking for the princess?"

Zheng Ren said honestly: "Then the officials are the same when they look for Lord Su. Just now, the imperial edict was sent in the capital."

Su Zhe stretched out his hand to him, and he respectfully stepped forward, holding the imperial edict in his hands and handed it to Su Zhe's hand.

Originally, this imperial edict was required to be accepted by Chen Xian himself, and Zheng Renhou should have read the imperial edict in public as the city guard did before.

But now that the imperial edict has come to Su Zhe, those rules will be exempted.

Su Zhe opened the imperial edict and took a light look, closed it, and said, "I will hand over this imperial edict to the princess later."

Zheng Renhou said: "Can you send someone to escort the princess back to Beijing?"

"You don't have to worry about these things. You only need to manage the Jiangnan City well." Su Zhe said, "It is not a long-term solution for refugees here to live in inns. After the floods pass, Jiangnan still needs to develop its economy to restore its original prosperity. At that time, refugees cannot continue to stay in the city."

"The lower official listens to Lord Su's advice."

Su Zhe said: "Mr. Zheng can arrange for them to open up the land and expand the city. Those who are willing to stay will settle outside the city. Those who are unwilling to stay will be released from the city to make a living."

Zheng Renhou said: "There are probably only a few refugees who are unwilling to stay."

"Whatever you want to do, as long as you don't ruin Princess Jingxian's reputation and don't arouse public grievances." Su Zhe looked at Zheng Renhou and said calmly, "If the imperial court sends people to take over Jiangnan, can Lord Zheng know how to deal with it?"

"Don't worry, Lord Su, the lower-ranking official endured for several years, and this situation was achieved in this situation. He would never allow the borers of the court to harm the Jiangnan area again. The lower-ranking official will do his best to protect Jiangnan City and the people here, and will never let Lord Su down."

Su Zhe nodded and said, "This is not worthy of your years of tolerance."

When Chen Xian came back, Zheng Renhou had already left. She saw Su Zhe and asked, "I heard that Lord Zheng is here to look for me?"

Su Zhe put the imperial edict in his sleeve and said, "He comes to ask about the settlement of refugees in the later stages, and I have already answered him for you."

"What did you say?"

"After the flood, he will organize refugees to open up the city, so that he can have a fixed residence. If he doesn't want to stay, he can freely leave the city."

Chen Xian also knew that it was not okay for refugees to stay in inns all the time. The order in the city can be controlled for the time being, but after all, so many people will only become more and more chaotic over time.

So after the most difficult time passes, they have to be resettled.

What Su Zhe said was the most appropriate method.

Chen Xian didn't know what the second imperial edict sent, and even the third imperial edict was intercepted by Su Zhe, without telling Chen Xian at all.

After they passed by Jiangnan, they had already walked halfway back to Beijing.

Before arriving at the next city, the city guard often knows the news in advance and waits at the city gate before he has time to enter the city gate.

This made Chen Xian feel like she was being monitored and being held in the whereabouts.

Not only did she feel this way, but Qin Ruliang and He You also felt this way. It was as if they were being defended along the way, just waiting for them to arrive in the capital.

On the road, Chen Xian would basically not disturb him at all except when he was serious about his business. He did not disturb Chen Xian either.

All the deep love and longing were put into Chen Xian's heart.

Even though she knew that this person was right next to her and not far away, she still had to pretend to be nothing.

Later, Su Zhe suggested that everyone disguise themselves, and several of them changed into ordinary people's clothes and went to the city separately.

Even if the city guard received the news in advance, he would greet him early at the city gate. The group of people disguised themselves and passed by the city gate, but the city guard could not find it.

The remaining personal soldiers were responsible for escorting Liu Qianhe and then entering the city.

After waiting for the city guards, the team came, but found that Princess Jingxian was not inside at all. The personal soldiers only said that they were only responsible for escorting the criminals back to Beijing, and they did not know Princess Jingxian's whereabouts.

After entering the city, everyone checks in the inn, and as long as nothing big happens, they don’t have to indicate their identity.

The disaster north of the Yangtze River is no longer as severe as the south. Although it has been damaged to a certain extent, there are no groups of refugees gathering outside the city.

Moreover, after the incident of Jiangnan City defending spread, the fate of Jiangnan City defending without a burial place also played a certain warning to the local cities and counties.

After checking in the inn, Chen Xian saw a simple storytelling desk in the lobby downstairs of the inn. The storyteller talked about Princess Jingxian's affairs of managing the flood and saving the victims.

The people who were listening to the book sat together below, a lot of people.

Su Zhe was responsible for contacting old acquaintances who were officials in the city, while Chen Xian and the others stayed in the inn to wait.

She leaned on the railing on the second floor, occasionally hearing the storyteller say a few words, and glanced at the door of the lobby from time to time.

Qin Ruliang came out, stood beside Shen Xian, looked downstairs along her sight, and said, "Are you waiting for him to come back?"

Chen Xian said seriously: "No, I'm listening to the storytelling downstairs."

Qin Ruliang said: "Next time I lie, remember to keep my eyes shut."
