…
While speaking, the flying chariot has slowly landed outside the gate of Changning Weidong City.
"Zhi~"
The vermilion-crowned crane flapped its wings, gracefully stopped on the yellow mud floor, raised its head and let out a soft cry.
The chattering compartment before suddenly fell silent, and the three core disciples, including Ji Mingyu, subconsciously arranged their clothes and put on their best demeanor.
"Let's go~"
Fang Youan led the crowd out of the car.
The weather was cloudy, and the light outside the city was not good, but when the four of them appeared, it still made people feel bright.
Whether it's appearance or temperament, the four of them are dragons and phoenixes among men, especially their high-spirited posture and flying spirit, which makes it easy to feel good about them.
There is no doubt that each of them is the pride of heaven.
Especially Fang You'an, who is the leader, has an outstanding temperament and a detached bearing. Standing in the crowd, he feels like he stands out from the crowd. he.
The patriarchs of many aristocratic families present couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion and envy in their eyes, and a feeling of "it would be great if our family could produce such a talented person".
Even Huangfu Jinhuan, the patriarch of the Huangfu family, and the patriarch of the Tianren Lei family, are no exception.
It turned out to be them
In the crowd, Wang Shouzhe raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He also thought, who would be the direct disciple from the academy this time? But they didn't expect that it would be Fang You'an and the others.
But on second thought, it makes sense.
There are not many direct disciples in Zifu Academy who are idle, so it is reasonable for Fang Youan to bring some juniors and sisters to do a large task.
While he was thinking about it.
The city guard, Xiahou Hongde, was the first to greet him with a smile on his face, and he cupped his hands and said, "You are the proud sons of the Zifu Academy, right? I am the guard of Changning Weicheng, Xiahou Hongde, the city guard. See All the arrogances of the academy, please forgive me for any mistakes."
After all, he also took out his identity token for the other party to detect.
Fang Youan also followed the rules, using his spiritual sense to scan the identity token, and after confirming the other party's identity, he bowed his hands in a gentle manner and said: "Your Majesty, you are welcome. This is Zifu Xuegong Xuan Bingdianfang You'an, together with all the younger brothers and sisters, was ordered to come to the Changningwei area to assist the adults in dealing with the disaster."
While speaking, he also took out the token and the appointment document jointly issued by the Purple Mansion Academy and the Sheriff's Mansion.
Xiahou Hongde did not dare to be negligent, but followed the rules and carefully checked the token and appointment documents.
After confirming that there was no problem, he saluted more and more respectfully: "I pay my respects to the Chief Inspector, and all the Inspectors."
Whether it is the position appointed by the other party this time, or the status of a direct disciple of the academy, he cannot afford to slack off in the slightest.
Leaving aside the inspector Fang You'an, the inspector of Governor Fang You'an, whose cultivation base is unpredictable at a young age, behind him is the one standing in the Xuanbing Palace... Among the masters of the Zifu in the academy, that one Definitely not someone to mess with.
Moreover, he has also heard that the individual disciples of the Xuanbing Palace lineage in the Zifu Academy are very powerful in combat power, and all the core disciples are warriors with extraordinary combat power, let alone a direct disciple of the Heavenly Human Realm up. How could he be underestimated
"Master Chengshou, please be polite. You are a senior, so call me Youan." Fang Youan has a gentlemanly demeanor, and is a rare good-tempered master in Xuanbing Palace.
"Don't dare, how dare, Governor You'an inspects the envoy." After a brief exchange of greetings, Xiahou Hongde said, "I will first inspect the envoy and introduce the patriarchs of our Changningwei family."
His voice fell.
The two patriarchs of Tianren Lei and Tianren Huangfu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked up with smiles on their faces, followed by the rest of the patriarchs.
It is very rare for a person of the level of the direct disciple of Zifu Academy to visit Changning Guard. If you are lucky enough to get in touch with him and form a good relationship, it will be beneficial to the family.
As for Wang Shouzhe, the movement was half a beat slow and he fell to the end.
His family of allies by in-laws wasn't particularly positive either. After all, they followed Wang Shouzhe and had seen a lot recently.
Although the direct disciples of the Academy are noble, they are not so easy to curry favor with, and it is most practical to hug Shouzhe's thigh tightly.
"You'an Governor Inspector, all Inspectors. These two are Lei Qiuwei, the patriarch of the Tianren Lei Clan, and Huangfu Jinhuan of the Tianren Huangfu Clan."
According to the rules, Xiahou Hongde first introduced the two heavenly and human families.
Lei Qiuwei and Huangfu Jinhuan immediately cupped their hands with smiles on their faces and said, "I have seen the Chief Inspector and all the Inspectors."
Fang Youan is not the kind of person who does not eat fireworks. He understands that to do things in the local area, he still has to rely on the powerful people in the local area, so naturally he will not neglect them with high regard.
He was just about to return the gift and introduce the younger brothers and younger sisters.
Suddenly.
Senior Brother Yangde shouted: "Isn't that Junior Brother Shouzhe?"
Brother Shouzhe
As soon as this statement came out, it attracted everyone's attention.
Fang Youan also saw Wang Shouzhe behind the crowd.
He was slightly taken aback, somewhat delighted, and immediately cupped his hands towards Lei Qiuwei and Huangfu Jinhuan, apologetically saying: "You two, I'm sorry first. I ran into an acquaintance, let's go say hello first."
Led by Fang You'an, a group of Xuanbing Palace disciples walked towards Wang Shouzhe with smiles. Wherever they passed, everyone in Changningwei gave way one after another.
Before Fang You'an could speak, Wang Shouzhe saluted first and said, "Shouzhe has met Senior Brother You'an, fellow Senior Brothers, and this Senior Sister."
Fang Youan returned the gift in a gentle manner: "Junior Shou Zhe, we had a hasty farewell to the school that day, and it has been more than two months. I didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances."
Ji Mingyu, Li Yangde, and another core female disciple, Qian Cailing, also hurriedly returned the salute, shouting "Junior Brother Shou Zhe".
They also knew that Wang Shouzhe was a registered disciple of Master Changchun.
Although the word "register" was included, they all knew that it was a helpless move. As long as Wang Shouzhe was willing, Master Changchun could accept him as his personal disciple at any time.
Also, they take it for granted. This Junior Brother Shou Zhe was far from thirty years old, and he was able to defeat Ji Mingyu at a young age. Even if he wanted to join the Xuanbing Palace, their master Master Binglan would probably accept him as his personal heir.
This is the ethos of the academy, without mentioning one's background. If you are not strong enough, even if you were born in the Zifu family, some core disciples will not take you too seriously.
But like Wang Shouzhe, who won the position purely by relying on his own strength, even Ji Mingyu admired him so much that he dared not fight again.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Shouzhe also knew their names, and greeted them: "Senior Brother Yangde, Senior Sister Cailing. After this incident, don't rush to leave, let Shouzhe treat you well. "
Seeing how familiar they are, the faces of the eighth-rank families all became a little subtle. The in-laws and allies were naturally happy, while the rest looked a little complicated.
Lei Qiuwei and Huangfu Jinhuan, the heads of the two heavenly and human families, were obviously embarrassed.
They rushed to the forefront, wanting to be near the water first, and to curry favor with the core disciples of the academy's direct disciples, but they didn't expect them to be so familiar with Wang Shouzhe and have such a close relationship.
Even Xiahou Hongde, the guardian of Liancheng, was stunned for a long time before he stepped forward and said with a smile: "It turns out that Patriarch Shouzhe is so familiar with all the Shangfeng masters, which is really enviable. However, this place is not a place to talk. A banquet has been prepared in the Baiwei Pavilion to clean up the dust for all Shangfeng lords."
Obviously, he also saw the embarrassment of other families, so he could not help but resolve it.
At the same time, Wang Shouzhe's status in his heart has been elevated several levels invisibly. It seems that some of the information he got from the academy was not comprehensive, and he still underestimated Wang Shouzhe after all!
Fang You'an and the others, who would not refute Xiahou Hongde's face, followed the crowd into the city from remonstrance.
Under the clearing of the city defense battalion, the group went straight to Baiwei Pavilion.
Of course, the Baiwei Pavilion in Changningwei is still far from the headquarters of the Baiwei Pavilion in Longzuo County.
When they arrived at Baiwei Pavilion, they found that Qian Xue'an, the shopkeeper of the Ningwei Branch of Qian's Commercial Bank, had already guarded the door.
With his growing belly, like a Maitreya Buddha, he greeted Fang You'an and the core disciples of Zifu Academy with a smile.
Seeing Qian Cailing, he bowed deeply and shouted, "Xue'an met Aunt Cailing."
"So it's Xue'an." Qian Cailing looked him up and down, "I haven't seen you getting fat again in two or three years, so you are also in Changningwei."
Qian Cailing has a deep memory of Qian Xuean.
Originally, he was just an inconspicuous straight-blood concubine, but he didn't want to get better and better now. He made great contributions to the family several times, and even the ancestors of the family mentioned his name twice.
What an honor? Even the core disciple of Qian Cailing, a dignified academy, has become more and more impressed with Qian Xuean.
Of course, this is also because Qian Xuean is very good at drilling camps, and when he catches an opportunity, he will go to the academy every two or three years.
She, Qian Cailing, also took money from Qian Xue'an, so she was naturally impressed.
This little conversation sounded like nothing. But the Patriarchs of Changningwei couldn't help but look a little more serious, and they were a little more solemn in their hearts.
It seems that among the few core disciples in the academy, this female core disciple named Qian Cailing seems to be the most inconspicuous, but she didn't expect that she was born in the Qian family.
In the entire Longzuo County, the Qian family is a well-known family of the fifth-rank Zifu. Their status is very prominent, and almost no one dares to provoke them.
Even Wang Shouzhe cast a few more glances at Qian Cailing, but he didn't expect that Senior Cailing was Qian Xuean's aunt.
Zifu Academy is indeed a place where dragons and tigers are hidden.
In other words, the background of the Longzuo Qian family is indeed extremely profound.
Afterwards, there was naturally a warm reception. With the presence of Qian Xue'an, a long-sleeved and good dancer, the atmosphere was much more lively.
After drinking for three rounds.
Fang Youan's face straightened, he cupped his hands towards the seats in the banquet and said, "Everyone, I have eaten the food and drunk the wine, but the disaster situation cannot be slack off. I, Fang You'an, are entrusted by the prefect's mansion and the academy to come to supervise I have to ask everyone present to help me find out the disaster situation. Lord City Guard, I just saw a lot of refugees gathered near Changning Guard from the air just now. I wonder if there is a proper arrangement for this matter?"
When it came to business, everyone's faces turned serious.
Xiahou Hongde said solemnly: "This time, the middle and lower reaches of Anjiang River were severely affected by the disaster, and many refugees came to the east. Because only 30% of our Changningwei area was affected by the disaster, many refugees gathered in Changningwei and refused to leave. I have ordered the construction of Many temporary refugee camps have also opened granaries to provide porridge for refugees. However, there are more and more refugees, and my Changning Wei storehouse has limited food, and sooner or later we will be unable to do so.”
Fang Youan frowned: "This time, our brothers and sisters took the lead, and some brothers and sisters came from land to collect food and grass along the way, but I am afraid that the water will not be able to quench the near thirst, and we still need the strong contribution of our local aristocratic family."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was silent for a while.
Dang Zhenghe of the Ningxi Dangshi said with a wry smile: "The Governor Inspector, our Ningxi Dangshi has been completely drowned, and the tenant farmers and civilians in the area under our jurisdiction have all fled to the area under the jurisdiction of Linzhen. When it comes to rescue, our party is afraid to..."
The rest of the aristocratic families also showed bitterness, saying that it is not the harvest season, and all the families and clans are relying on the surplus grain to survive, and all the clans and clans also have a lot of losses.
"Food is easy to talk about." Qian Xue'an of Qian's Commercial said, "I can still raise some, and I can handle it in a short time. The problem is that the refugees are gathering more and more. Is it possible to drive them to other places? According to me As we all know, the disaster in the two acropolises of Dingnan Town and Ze in the upper reaches of our country was even more serious. Countless fields and houses were washed away, especially Zhenze Wei, which has been in a vast ocean so far, causing countless casualties. Those commoner tenants who survived, I'm afraid they are all homeless."
"Hmph!" Fang You'an's eyes flashed a murderous intent, "Dingnan and Zhenze two guards usually neglect flood control, which caused this catastrophe. Those two city guards are probably at the end of their good days. This matter Not to mention, those refugees have to ask the families to find a way to resettle them."
As soon as these words came out, all the aristocratic families were silent for a while, each calculating and thinking in their hearts.
Wang Shouzhe knew that it was not their fault.
After hundreds of years of development in Changningwei, most of the sites of the aristocratic families are already in a saturated state. Increasing the number of tenant farmers and laborers will not bring substantial growth to the economy, but instead will increase consumption and form a burden.
But Fang You'an's face cannot be refuted at will, and he came under the name of "Governor Inspector".
Don't look at him now being gentle and elegant, with a good-talking appearance, if you really want to piss him off, you might just wipe out an eighth-rank family to make an example to others.
After a little thought, the heads of the families began to express their opinions one after another. Your family accepts one or two thousand refugees, and my family accepts two thousand refugees. Although we have tried our best, compared with the large number of refugee resettlements, it is still a drop in the bucket.
Some people even mentioned whether it is possible for Donghaiwei or other guards to accept some refugees.
At this time, Huangfu Jinhuan stood up and said: "Our Huangfu family is willing to accept the resettlement of five thousand refugees."
Lei Qiuwei also hurriedly said: "Our Lei family is also willing to accept five thousand refugees."
In this way, Fang Youan's complexion eased a lot, at least the tyrants in these places are not just trying to shirk.
"Senior Brother You'an." Wang Shouzhe stood up after thinking for a while and said, "Our Ping'an Town is willing to accept 40,000 refugees for resettlement."
What
Forty thousand refugees? !
Everyone was shocked, and their eyes were fixed on Wang Shouzhe, their faces were full of disbelief.
Wang Shouzhe was full of regret.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't digest it for a while, he really wanted to wrap up all the refugees. Because of Wang's next series of development plans, the more population needed, the better.
