Chapter 905: The people see off and go to Yangzhou
Chapter 905: The people saw off and headed to Yangzhou
One day later, in the early morning, large carts came in droves, filled with food! The people on Zhongliang Mountain also went down the mountain under the leadership of Gao Erhe, and were divided into teams according to the village, ready to receive the food.
Return home after distributing food!
At the same time, a notice was posted outside the Xingyuan Prefecture and county offices, which caused an uproar!
"The magistrate of Lianshui County failed to provide disaster relief and harmed the people! More than a thousand officials and people died! He was dismissed from his official position and took away his fame! He was killed by the people because of this incident. The murderer Lin Damao of Liujia Village was rounded up by the imperial guards and committed suicide.
! However, even though his crime is death, it is unforgivable! If his family property is copied, his family members will deal with it according to the law!"
"Fan Anhe, the magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture, was embezzling officials and money. When he found out that Lianshui County not only promptly punished him after the incident, he tried his best to conceal it, and sent Xingyuan Prefecture to patrol and lead troops to suppress the people.
Later, he was afraid that the imperial envoy would find out what was going on, so he incited the Zhongliang Mountain rioters to kill the imperial envoy. His crime is unpardonable! He was dismissed from his official position, deprived of his fame, assigned to the army, and confiscated his family property! His family will be dealt with according to the law! "
"The soldiers and horses of Xingyuan Prefecture were supervising Bi Chun. The soldiers and horses inspected Feng Xue. He was embezzling military pay and wasting no time on human life. He was dismissed from his official position and imprisoned to be executed by the Queen of Autumn!"
"Chen Xinbo, a partial general of the Da'an Army, secretly conspired with Fan Anhe, the prefect of Xingyuan Prefecture, to assassinate the imperial envoy. He will not be pardoned for the crime! He will be dismissed from his official position and will be imprisoned to be executed by the Queen of Autumn!"
After the notices were posted one after another, the people rejoiced, but the officials in Xingyuan Prefecture remained silent! Now, from the prefect to the county magistrate, who is not a powerful person?
However, those who deserved to be killed were killed and those who deserved to be caught were caught, and the cruelty of the methods terrified everyone.
Especially some officials who are not clean to begin with are in panic all day long!
Because of this, all the disaster relief orders issued by Shen Tang, whether it was Xingyuan Prefecture or the counties under its jurisdiction, were all overfulfilled. All officials were eager to take action personally, fearing that when the imperial envoy issued an order, they would die!
Even if the prefect directly surrenders the army and the general refuses to behead, what does he think?
Shen Tang's ruthless punishment of these officials, coupled with the overwhelming strength shown under Zhongliang Mountain, allowed the entire Xingyuan Mansion, both officials and civilians, to quickly return to normal.
After the people in Dingjun Mountain heard the news about Zhongliang Mountain, they took the initiative to send a message to talk to the imperial envoy! After Shen Tang arrived, he directly proposed the same conditions as the people in Zhongliang Mountain, and these people did not have the courage to refute, so the matter was settled.
Come down.
Afterwards, the people went down the mountain and returned to their hometowns, and some of the grain and grass from Xingyuan Mansion were gradually transported to the people.
After the people from all over the country returned to their hometowns, the government selected the best among them to serve as corvees! The rivers were dredged and the villages were rebuilt. Everything was carried out at an extremely fast speed! With Shen Tang in charge, the government's attitude towards the people was unprecedentedly kind and patient.
!The matter in Xingyuan Mansion has basically come to an end!
A few days later, when the disaster relief work initially made progress, Shen Tang left Huang Wenshan and led 300 people to continue supervising matters in various places, while he left Xingyuan Mansion and headed to Yangzhou next door!
Officials of all sizes were busy with disaster relief matters, plus Shen Tang's orders, so Shen Tang left just like when he came, and there was no official to see him off.
However, Shen Tang's personal guards had already gathered, numbering more than 1,600 people.
"Chang Shun, let's go!"
In the yamen of Xingyuan Mansion, after Shen Tang explained everything, he and Chang Shun walked towards the outside of the yamen.
When he walked to the entrance of the government office, Shen Tang saw that in front of him was a dense crowd of ordinary people that he couldn't even see beyond!
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"
"Thank you, the Imperial Envoy, for making the decision for us..."
One, two... all the people fell to the ground and knelt down!
The people's demands are never high, nor are they too extravagant. As long as they have land, can eat, and can survive, they are the country's most loyal people! However, under the greedy bureaucrats everywhere, They couldn't even satisfy this extravagant request! And Shen Tang, the imperial envoy, not only allowed them to live, but also gave them hope. Therefore, Shen Tang was a good official in their eyes, and Shen Tang was the saint in their hearts.
Therefore, when they learned that Shen Tang was leaving, they spontaneously gathered here to see Shen Tang off!
"Sir, please say a few words! I know you are leaving, and some people have been waiting here to see you off since very early!"
Huang Wenshan said softly to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang straightened his clothes, and then bowed deeply and bowed three times! He didn't know what to say, he just felt his eyes were a little sour! They are the most simple and true people in the country, but what they got Far less than what they paid! The people are valued and the king is despised. After all, it is just an illusion. Even Shen Tang cannot do this, but he can give hope and dignity to these people as much as possible. !
brush!
Shen Tang got on his horse, and the guards behind him also jumped on the horse! Then, this team slowly moved forward in the torrent of people!
Wherever you go, the people will automatically show a path, and the eyes will make you tearful. The people are so careful that it makes people feel distressed! There are endless people, from the government office to the city gate, and from the city gate extending outward along the official road...
"The station ahead is temporarily resting!"
Shen Tang said to Chang Shun behind him! Although the matter in Xingyuan Mansion is not over yet, Shen Tang is satisfied with the result now! Of course, there are still many officials, big and small, who are still guilty.
However, if Shen Tang continues to wage war, it will not only fail to provide disaster relief, but will also cause everyone to panic and cause more troubles. This will not be a good thing for the people.
But now, punishing the evil leader has put everyone in panic, and everything is progressing more smoothly.
Secondly, the imperial court's decree has been sent, and Shen Tang can naturally trust these two old friends whom he has not seen for a long time.
Presumably, with Lu You in charge in Xingyuan Mansion, the next thing will happen step by step.
What's more, if Zhao Shen is angry this time, the Ministry of Punishment will never completely fail to act!
Generally speaking, Xingyuan Mansion, his party, and Shen Tang have achieved their goals!
As for Lu You and Zhou Bida, due to the extremely long journey and the time required to convey the imperial decree, they may not be able to take office until around the Chinese New Year, and Shen Tang naturally cannot wait until then.
However, there will be opportunities to meet each other, so there is no need to rush!
"Your Majesty loves the people as your own children. This is the first time that I have seen a court official who truly makes decisions for the people! It's a pity that there are too few people like you."
A familiar voice sounded behind Shen Tang. It was none other than He, a senior high school student from Lianshui County!
