Chapter 154: A Great Future

The more Wang Zhicai thought about it, the happier he felt. The content on this notice was exactly what he told the man last night.

Since the noble man adopted his method, it means that he must have caught the noble man's attention.

He, Wang Zhicai, is about to turn over, and a great future is in front of him.

Wang Zhicai read the contents of the notice in a high-pitched voice, almost breaking his voice.

The content on the notice is about the arrangements for these refugees outside the city.

First, the drought in King Changding's fiefdom has been alleviated, and refugees from outside the city can return to King Changding's fiefdom via the same route.

Everyone has traveled through mountains and rivers to finally reach this place, and naturally they don't want to leave at this time.

So the surrounding refugees began to urge Wang Zhicai to continue reading the next content.

Secondly, refugees outside the city cannot be resettled in the city without paying a fee of five taels of silver.

Everyone's heart felt cold again. They had made it this far without much food left, let alone money.

Moreover, even if there are no disasters in ordinary days, it is considered good for a family to have five taels of silver. How can it be possible to afford the five taels of silver per person to enter the city.

Wang Zhicai then continued to read, "You can also voluntarily join the Fourth Prince's Army..."

"What? Join the army!"

The refugees who were watching started shouting, obviously very disgusted with this matter.

You should know that if someone in your family becomes a member of the military, then your descendants must also join the army when they reach a certain age.

Wang Zhicai was a little unhappy when his voice was interrupted.

However, he continued to read: "The families of those who join the army can be accommodated. The above choices are subject to the principle of voluntariness. Everyone can make their own choices. Do not linger outside the city gate for too long, otherwise you will be treated as voluntarily joining the military."

After reading, Wang Zhicai looked at the agitated refugees and added with a smile: "The Fourth Prince actually thinks about us people. We have no fixed place to live at the moment. The Fourth Prince is willing to take us useless people into the military and provide for our food and clothing."

Worry-free…”

Wang Zhicai praised the fourth prince so much that he had everything in heaven and earth, and he probably turned the undesirable thing of joining the military into a good thing that could not be obtained.

Everyone was a little shaken. Did they really misunderstand the fourth prince?

At one place on the tower, a man dressed in noble clothes stood with his hands clasped, looking down.

A four-clawed dragon is outlined in gold thread on the man's robe.

And he is the owner of this fiefdom, the fourth prince who is currently the most favored by the current emperor.

The fourth prince looked down in the direction of Wang Zhicai, who was reading an announcement loudly in the crowd.

He nodded with satisfaction and looked in Wang Zhicai's direction admiringly.

An elderly man standing behind him said: "If the prince likes that boy, bringing him in will help relieve the prince's great cause."

The old man is a more prestigious staff member in the fourth prince's house.

They rushed out of the city last night, and their conversation happened to be overheard by Wang Zhicai, who was up at night.

They originally wanted to kill Wang Zhicai, who unfortunately happened to be talking to them.

Perhaps it was his strong desire to survive that made Wang Zhicai's mind race. He thought of some ways to solve the fourth prince's current troubles and spoke out, wanting to take a gamble.

And the fact is, he made the right bet.

The appreciation in the eyes of the fourth prince and the old man did not seem to be fake, and he even posted his method today.

There are so many refugees gathered outside the city that it would cost a lot to resettle them all.

The emperor is now obsessed with Taoism and has no regard for government affairs. Naturally, he has not issued any order to resettle refugees so far.

The fourth prince wanted to get rid of these refugees but did not want his reputation to be tarnished, so he had a headache over this matter.

At the same time, he had another headache.

The court is becoming increasingly chaotic, and the emperor may pass away every day, so he must have enough chips in his hands.

King Wu Ding was still unwilling to stand on his side, so he could only find ways to increase the number of troops in his hands.

So Wang Zhicai came up with this method that could not only dispatch refugees but also enrich the army.

The Fourth Prince hummed slightly, turned around and left and said, "Let's find an opportunity to bring him and his family in."

Under the city tower, Wang Zhicai read all the contents on the notice, then got out of the crowd and left.

And everyone in Shenjia Village also left with him.

After he left, the people of Shenjia Village surrounded him and asked about the contents of the notice.

"You're a talented person. If you join the military, it's a lowly status. It's not a good place to be."

Wang Zhicai smiled and began to use the power of his sharp tongue again to deceive!
