Chapter 103 Changdong City

Changdongcheng has been so "lively" in recent days. Even though it is located at the junction of the two states, there is no such scene in normal times. People who have moved from Tianzhou are constantly in a row. Although all the people in Tianzhou have not been transferred out, a large part of them have been transferred.

The geographical location of Changdongcheng is very important. It is responsible for accepting the people, as the first transit point, and then scattering the people into Changzhou.

A few days later, Li Ru and Lin Tu came with the Xihe Army. They were neat and in a mighty manner. Of course, they also transported a large number of food and supplies.

Instead of going to Chang'an City, I went directly to Chang'an City. Now Chang'an City is the place where I need help the most.

Since there was no prior notice, Li Ru's arrival could be said to be very sudden. Although Ren Cangdong, the governor of Changdong, had already received the advance notice from Li Ru, he did not expect that Li Ru had brought so many people. Of course, Li Ru and Lin Tu did not bring all the Xihe Army. After all, no matter how many people were counted, they could not use so many people.

Although he was very busy, Ren Cangdong still took some time to meet Li Ru and Lin Tu at the city gate.

"Mr. Li, why are you here?" Ren Cangdong still respects Li Ru very much. First, discuss his position. Li Ru manages a state, while Ren Cangdong only manages Changdong City and several nearby counties. In terms of qualifications, why did Li Ru be an official for many years? He was an official in the court and was still a high-ranking official, which Ren Cangdong could not compare to.

"It's nothing, but His Highness Prince Chuan learned about the natural disasters in Tianzhou and Huazhou, and wanted to do something within his ability, so General Lin and I brought some food and supplies."

"This, Prince Chuan is kind-hearted. I thank the prince of his highness for these suffering people." Ren Cangdong did not expect that the prince Yang Yichuan would still care about this, and he also had suspicion about Yang Yichuan's actions.

Li Ru no longer talks nonsense, but it is more important to do things. "Sir Ren, how is the situation now?"

Ren Cangdong also sighed, "It's not optimistic."

Ren Cangdong continued, "The total number of people accepted by Changdong City now exceeds 50,000. Although 30,000 people have been transferred one after another, there are more than 20,000 people here. And according to the latest group of people coming, Tianzhou is still rainy. It is estimated that there are still many people who want to transfer here, and there are still a large number of people."

"Oh, after all, the people are still suffering. Although Your Majesty is wise and sage and has prepared in advance, the losses are still too great. The farmlands in Tianzhou and Huazhou are probably not much to gain this year. When the rain stops, there is still a lot of things to do. Under this natural disaster, Tianzhou and Huazhou will not be able to recover their vitality in three or five years."

The two of them chatted while walking. As for the supplies they transported, except for leaving a little enough for themselves, they were handed over to the city guards in Changdongcheng.

"Mr. Ren, I am not intimidated. This time I came here and took a task from His Highness Prince Sichuan."

Ren Cangdong was also stunned for a moment, "Task, what mission? Lord Li said it's okay."

Li Ru did not pretend to be mysterious, "In fact, it's nothing. Xihe Prefecture is vast and sparsely populated. Although there are few fertile land, it can eventually be reclaimed a lot of land, but the number of people is too small. His Highness Prince Sichuan took the lead in creating a Xihe Chamber of Commerce, which also requires a lot of people to make and sell things."

"Although His Highness Prince Chuan has swept through several cities in Xihezhou, recruited all the beggars and refugees on the street, allocated work to allow them to have work to eat and wear well, and have money to get, but the number of people is limited after all. So, this time His Highness asked me to come, not only to transport this batch of goods, but also to take a batch of people back."

"Take a group of people back? This is probably not good." Ren Cangdong knew that doing so could alleviate the pressure of accepting the people, but Yang Yichuan did this, which was equivalent to digging Tianzhou and Huazhou. The subsequent reconstruction of Tianzhou and Huazhou would require the people as the basis.

"Don't worry, Lord Ren. Your Highness Chuan Prince means to bring back a group of voluntary people. Your Highness Chuan Prince said that everything is based on the voluntary people of the people. Even if you want to go there now and then repent, you can return to Tianzhou."

"It's really voluntary and will not detain the people?"

Li Ru smiled and shook his head slightly, "Of course not. What's the difference between forcing the people and detaining them? Your Highness, Prince Sichuan, said that the treatment and conditions he can give are very good, and there will definitely be people who will stay voluntarily."

Ren Cangdong pondered for a moment and then had a result, "What should I do if Lord Li needs me?"

"Actually, it's very simple. Lord Ren just needs to go to the people's place with me to promote it. General Lin and I stay here for three days. How many people are willing to follow us depends on God's will."

"Okay, I'll accompany Lord Li for a while. If I can take away part of it and relieve the current pressure, it will be a good idea."

"Then I'll thank you Lord Ren."

"Mr. Li, you are polite. I should do my duty to let these people settle down as soon as possible."

Ren Cangdong took Li Ru to arrange residence for Li Ru first, while Lin Tu took a small amount of Xihejun to find an open space outside the city and stationed.

Not long after Li Ru arrived, the court also sent people. After the forms of Tianzhou and Huazhou were not controlled, the best way to transfer the people was, and after the transfer, a large amount of food and materials must be needed. Therefore, the court was also prepared and sent several batches of materials to different cities. The main ones were Changdongcheng and Dongzhou Donghuacheng in Changzhou. These two cities, as the two cities with the most people and the heaviest tasks, were naturally valued by the court.

Those who go to Donghua City will detour Linzhou and go south to Donghua City. Those who go to Changdong City will naturally have to come from Beiyuanzhou to Changdong City. Compared to Donghua City, Changdong City may be a little further away, which also leads to the arrival of Changdong City’s supplies a little later.

Ren Cangdong had just chatted with Li Ru for a while and prepared to resettle Li Ru. He waited until lunch and found some time in the afternoon to go to the resettlement site to promote it. Then, he received news that the supplies sent by the court arrived.

"Mr. Li, this."

"Mr. Ren, go and do your business. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this incident. Master Ren works hard and relocates the people. He does a good job. Your Majesty will definitely know about it. I will report it to Your Majesty in the memorial."

"Thank you, Lord Li, I will surrender now."

Li Ru relaxed a little and came to Changdong City. He didn't hear any refugees gathered to cause trouble. It can be seen that Ren Cangdong still made some contributions. As for the specific situation, Li Ru also planned to stroll around and go and see it in person to see the facts.

If the heavy rains had been falling before, the focus was on Tianzhou and Huazhou. Now the disaster has already happened, and the people were forced to relocate and resettle the people. The disaster relief matter became the top priority, and Changdongcheng and Donghuacheng became new focus.

Under such a situation, if Ren Cangdong is capable and able to shoulder heavy responsibilities, he will naturally be noticed by Yang Tianci and learned that the journey of promotion will naturally be extremely smooth. If he does not do well, he may not have a good life in the future.

At the junction of Tianzhou and Changzhou, a large number of people came towards the West.

"If you persist, you will be in Changzhou and Changdong City. When you arrive in Changdong City, you will be saved." This group of people was already hungry and could not hold on. Fortunately, someone was always encouraging and leading everyone, otherwise it would have caused riots.

This is a young man who looks like he is powerless and a literati. His originally pretty robe has long been covered in mud, his hair is extremely scattered, and he can't tell his original temperament. This person's steps are extremely heavy, but his eyes are extremely firm. His voice is a little hoarse and his lips are dry, but he still insists on inspiring the people around him with his own voice.

Thank you very much for your support! Thank you!
