Chapter 1162: A Fist Speaks the Truth!

he come back"Wang Fu whispered back, "Yes, it's been several days. Otherwise, how could I have neglected this place."The shopkeeper was anxious.He's still waiting for his master to make a decision, wh...Fortunately, Li La Er took the prince's token and went to the wharf barracks to call back two hundred wounded soldiers. 。The wounded soldiers drew their waist knives. The gleaming blades in the sunlight were almost blinding, and instilled a chilling fear. 。Then, the team immediately formed, and no one was crowded or noisy, not even fighting anymore. 。I have to say, any time, bigger fist means right! The prince changed into ordinary clothes and put on an air of authority. At this moment, he mixed in the crowd and walked around. 。Feng Gong, drenched in sweat, quietly followed behind, wanting to urge the prince to rest, but also afraid of exposing his master's identity. 。Fortunately, Li Lao'er came over and invited the prince to speak inside a makeshift shed. 。"Your Highness, it's been a chaotic day. Perhaps you should return to the palace." 。Once everything is settled tomorrow, you can come over and comfort the people again. 。" The crown prince took half a step back, hiding behind Li Laoer, and replied, "Don't worry, grandpa. No one knows I left the palace, I'm safe." 。"This way of registering refugees is the best, as it will make it convenient to arrange their return home affairs afterwards." 。However, accommodating 10,000 people is no small feat. I'm afraid the relief agency staff alone won't be enough. 。" Li Laoer laughed, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I've found someone to help, and they are absolutely reliable." 。The prince asked further, but a large group of people were already approaching from afar. 。More than 200 villagers from Suijin Tan, driving carriages and towing iron pots, clay basins, wooden barrels and other things, rushed to... 。The old village head was tired and flushed, the first to run to Li Lao Er. Upon seeing the prince behind him, he was even more excited. 。Li Laoer was afraid he would shout out the prince's identity, so he quickly greeted him, "Village Chief Uncle, did you bring everyone from the village" The Village Chief waved his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, Lord, I left people at home to look after things." 。I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower, so I asked Lao Jing and his team for a few dozen more people. 。Old Jing said, there's no work at home. 。If that's not enough, feel free to shout again. 。" Li Laoer nodded and instructed, "Uncle Village Chief, you've worked hard. Please hurry up and set up the shed and start a fire to boil water for porridge." 。These people have been starving for a long time, let them eat first to fill their stomachs, and then we can make arrangements. 。"Okay, Master, leave it to me." 。The village head also knew it was not good to speak to the prince, so he nodded quietly and hurried to urge the villagers to unload their carts and work. 。The crowd quickly unloaded the trucks and, after selecting ten locations, began to build tents. 。Many hands make light work, it's not a huge project anyway. 。It's just digging a hole, putting in posts, nailing on planks, and putting up thick mats of grass for a roof. 。Then quickly code the blue bricks, set up a large iron pot 。The cart unloaded its goods and had already pulled the buckets back to draw water. 。When the water is drawn back, it gurgles and pours into the pot. Fire is lit under it, and blue smoke rises. 。The refugees registering in the distance, their eyes almost peering through the shed. 。Any promises they make are not to be trusted. 。Only this smoking stove is the hope of survival! It's the most cost-effective thing in the world! But within just an hour, before the refugees had finished registering, the corn porridge was already ready. 。Golden yellow congee, with chopped greens added to it, and even sprinkled with scallions and salt 。It's not particularly delicious, but the aroma wafts far and wide. 。The refugees' stomachs were rumbling with hunger, they had completely revolted. 。Li Lao'er, seeing this, had the elderly people from the relief office bang on their copper basins and shout again. 。"This is the first meal, you don't need to sign up and can eat right away! But if anyone causes trouble, immediately kick them out. Afterwards, even if they starve to death, don't think about getting another bite!"The refugees immediately swarmed to the front of the porridge shed, lining up in an orderly fashion. Even though some were jostling each other and muttering under their breath, they didn't dare speak loudly. 。Soon, the rice porridge was served. 。The refugees held their bowls, gulping down the soup before they even took a few steps. Even though it was scalding and made them clench their teeth, they wouldn't stop... The Prince couldn't help but sigh as he watched, whispering to Li Lao Er, "They say Tianwu is now a prosperous and peaceful era, with a strong economy and wealthy people. But reality is so pathetic." 。"But after just one year of drought, the people have fallen into such dire straits." 。And those state officials, with their high salaries and skills in praising themselves, when it comes to truly doing practical things for the people, they all become like turtles hiding their heads. 。This is hardly polite. It's clear the Crown Prince is furious. 。If he were in front of the emperor and his officials, Li La Er would certainly not speak up. 。But facing the prince who grew up on Suijin Beach since childhood, he could be considered a member of the family. 。He then said, "Your Highness need not be disheartened. Ruling half of Jiangnan and caring for all its people is no easy feat, especially with the annual northern campaigns that consume a great deal of military provisions." 。So, Tiān Wǔ looked prosperous, but its foundation was still empty. 。"After the Northern Expedition ends and we recover our lost territories, once both Jiangnan and Jiangbei are planted with crops, it will only take a year to recover." 。As for those officials who are not fulfilling their duties, the Emperor is compassionate and unwilling to be harsh. 。The Crown Prince can look at it slowly. One day, you will be able to dispose of it according to your own wishes. 。“ The Crown Prince was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and nodded in agreement. 。At last, he remembered something and said, “By the way, Grandfather, you don't have to worry about Jair. Although Fengshan was attacked by the Mi-Le Sect, Jair responded in time and suffered no losses.” 。Moreover, the teachings of Maitreya intended to go to Xindu and had no time to care about Fengshan. 。Immediately, the Emperor will also order troops from the southwest border to quell the Miaoli Sect. Things will soon be quelled. 。Li Lao Er naturally knew his son was fine, after all, the messenger who delivered the decree to Xindu also went to the Earl's Mansion. 。But when the prince said this, he was still trying to read the situation. 。Just as he was about to thank them, Zheng He arrived. It turned out that a new batch of grain had arrived...Jia Yin and Grandma came out of the palace "crying," only then did they realize that Second Uncle had taken on such a big task, and Mr. Wen would also leave Kyoto early tomorrow morning. 。

Li Laotai was startled and asked, "Why are you leaving the capital at this time Didn't you say that the Milarepa sect was causing a stir and it would be dangerous"

Mr. Wen quickly replied, "Aunt, rest assured, the Milarepa sect is just starting to influence the people and doesn't have many followers yet. It's not a threat "

Moreover, the state capital I visited was near Fenghuangshan, so I happened to go see Jiren. 。"When he first took office, he was a local official responsible for the well-being of the people. During a year of disaster, I'm sure he was feeling uneasy. So I went to give him some encouragement." 。" Since someone came to support Sun'er, naturally Old Madam Li was happy. 。She still said, "Jinrou is not at home. Have you brought enough clothes and supplies And on the road, don't be short of manpower to protect you. In case some bandits block the road, what will happen! Quickly go find Dayong, take a few old soldiers with you when you leave. 。“ Jia Yin also said, “I’ll go and get some common medicines ready for the master. As for the guards, Big Yong's side sending people over wouldn't be familiar either. It's better to choose a few from Ercun.” 。"Sir, please don't refuse. When you are out and about, safety should always come first." 。"Shigu and the child are still waiting for Mr. Wen in Quanzhou."

Mr. Wen couldn't refuse any longer, so he could only nod. 。Soon, Li Laotai and Jiayin had packed another bag of clothing and supplies. The ten veterans from the second village also arrived at the city gate just before it closed. 。Li Lao Er stayed outside the city, living in a grass hut. This allowed him to deal with any situation immediately. 。Just then, the next morning, he sent a farewell gift to Mr. Wen. 。At the Shili Pavilion, it was packed with people because all the Imperial Historians were heading south and their friends and family came to see them off. 。Now outside, the Miaofa sect is causing chaos, with refugees everywhere. The new capital is well-known throughout the land. 。At this point, leaving the capital was almost like seeking death. 。Today's update is here ~~e and get it whenever she wants.”After saying that, he made up an excuse and ran away quickly.Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Hui Niang said, "Uncle Zhang is becoming more and more like a child!""In...
