Song Yang's side really gets more and more troubled as we get closer to the war.
When it got dark, another fast horse came from Duchang.
This time it was a messenger sent by Qiao Jinglong.
"Your Majesty, more than 6,000 refugees have come to Jianchang!"
"Master Qiao's isolation camp really can't be accommodated. I would like to ask you to issue a warrant to Jiangzhou and send some of them to Jiangzhou for resettlement first."
Qiao Jinglong also missed a move. He originally thought that it would take a few days for a large number of refugees to arrive.
As a result, Song Yang had only been here for two days, and more than 6,000 refugees from the south arrived at once.
The refugee resettlement site in the south of the city has just built more than 500 rough thatched huts, which cannot accommodate so many people.
If it is not handled properly as soon as possible, a civil commotion among more than 6,000 people could easily occur.
It's not that the refugees can't build their own resettlement sites.
It's just that the consumption of building materials has been extremely high recently, and almost all the bamboo and trees near De'an have been cut down.
If you go far away to buy building materials, things will suddenly become chaotic.
Therefore, Magistrate Qiao only gave the refugees porridge and asked them to deal with it first.
It's already summer now, and there's no telling when it will rain again.
Once it rains, the refugees who have no place to resettle become a factor of instability again.
So Qiao Jinglong urgently asked someone to report to Song Yang.
"Is this guy a fool? Just send him to Jiangzhou and report to me!" Song Yang yelled.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Mr. Qiao is not familiar with Mr. Yu from Jiangzhou, and I don't know what the situation is in Fucheng. So..." the messenger hurriedly explained.
"Go, go! Send a message to Qiao Jinglong immediately and ask him to divide half of the people and send them to Fucheng." Song Yang waved his hand impatiently.
The messenger responded and immediately turned around and left.
It was late at night, and Song Yang couldn't let him go on his own.
He also sent two people on horseback to escort him away.
"This is such a big deal! We should have a meeting earlier."
Song Yang curled his lips and said.
"Your Majesty, the main reason for this is that the incident happened suddenly, and the lack of communication between various places is understandable." Fang Zhe persuaded from the side.
Although Qiao Jinglong is capable, he is still a high-ranking official.
There is also a rule in my heart for being an official.
Before the disaster, sending a large number of refugees to one place required the approval of local officials.
In Qiao Jinglong's heart, Song Yang was the official in charge.
Song Yang wanted to hold a reform meeting and also wanted to redefine Jiangzhou's service system.
But this will be delayed again and again due to basic survival issues.
This caused such a little trouble today.
The matter is not big, but from small to big, it is time to hold a reform meeting.
…
Dean's messenger left, and the night was finally uneventful.
At dawn the next day, Song Yang led his team to the north.
The distance between the two places is about sixty miles. If we set off now, we can reach Ruichang before noon.
When Song Yang embarked on his journey, a "grand" ceremony was being held in Ruichang.
"Prime Minister, have the ceremonies been arranged?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is ready. Three quarters past noon is the auspicious time for you to ascend the throne."
"How's it going at Shui Bo Sacrifice?"
"I have asked the Confucian scholars to get ready. The ceremony will start at three quarters at noon. This will show your Majesty's sincerity."
"Hmm... Not bad, not bad! With the help of the Prime Minister, I will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
"They are all His Majesty's saints!"
The renovated Ruichang County Yamen looks... barely like a mansion.
A red lantern hung at the door, and a bright red carpet was laid on the ground.
There were also seven or eight improvised musicians outside the door, holding various instruments and playing the percussion instruments.
At first glance, I thought the county government was marrying a wife.
In fact, this is a coronation ceremony!
The enthronement ceremony of Emperor Changlong of Wang Neng.
Zhao Wenbin deceived Wang Neng and created such a prosperous country.
It means the prosperity of the country.
Wang Neng readily accepted the name and dreamed that the country he created would be prosperous.
Today is the day of his enthronement.
"From today on, I...I will rule the world! Hahaha!" Wang Neng laughed.
From a bandit to an emperor, it only took more than ten days.
"My beloved concubine! You will be my queen from now on. I will officially canonize you as my queen at the enthronement ceremony soon! Haha!"
Wang Neng looked at a young woman beside him and laughed.
The woman forced out a smile and nodded reluctantly.
She is the daughter of a local farmer.
She was forcibly occupied by Wang Neng, and now she became the queen inexplicably.
She doesn't want to be emperor or empress.
She only knew that there was an emperor in the capital, and now Wang Neng became the emperor himself.
That is rebellion!
To be beheaded!
But being occupied by thieves, as a weak woman, she could only give in in the end.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I'm a little dizzy. Can I skip the ceremony?" the woman asked with a grimace.
"Oh? My beloved, are you not feeling well? That's fine. Just wait at home for me to ascend the throne."
Wang Neng grinned and said.
The woman finally felt better. She didn't want to show up and attend some ceremony.
Wang Neng saw that the woman's face looked better, and he suddenly became lustful again.
There was one last indulgence before the coronation ceremony.
When it was almost three-quarters past three o'clock, Zhao Wenbin from outside the door came to urge me again.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time. It's time for you to set off."
"I know, I know!"
Wang Neng shouted in disappointment.
"My beloved concubine, I will come as soon as I go. Hehe! Hehe!"
Wang Neng reluctantly got off the woman, put on some clothes and went out.
As soon as Wang Neng left, the woman shed tears of sadness.
"Your Majesty, don't forget to make me a general in a while!"
"And me! Mr. An Guo!"
"Me, me, me! Duke Cheng!"
"And me...what do I do?"
In the front hall of the county government office, more than a dozen thieves and bandits immediately started making noises when they saw Wang Neng coming out.
"We all have titles! What are you trying to rob! I...ahem! How can I still treat you all badly! Let's go, let's go and ascend the throne!"
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty said yes! Everyone has it! Hehe!"
"Your Majesty, I... I had a bad stomach yesterday. Can I not go to the ceremony?"
A bandit leader came up and said.
This man was the first bandit who followed Wang Neng and was named Lu Maowang.
Because he was a member of the old bandit, he was given the title of Duke of the town.
"Excuse me! Why don't you go and pull him down? Why don't you enjoy such a great honor and worship? You are a lazy donkey who urinates a lot!" Wang Neng rolled his eyes at Lu Maowang and said.
"Ignore him! Let's just go. Your Majesty! Hurry up! The time will come soon!"
The bandits screamed loudly.
"Let's go, let's go! Let's hurry up and get reincarnated!"
Wang Neng yelled and cursed and led the thieves outside.
"Your Majesty, I will go to worship Uncle Shui now. I have already made arrangements for the grand ceremony. Your Majesty can go on your own."
As soon as he left the gate of the county government office, Zhao Wenbin suddenly appeared from the side and stopped Wang Neng and said.
"Go, go, go! I'm going to be a big official, so go and sacrifice to Uncle Shui. I won't spare you if you make the gods unhappy!"
The thieves leaders hurriedly pulled Zhao Wenbin away.
"Why are you talking to the Prime Minister?"
Wang Neng pretended to give a lesson and said to Zhao Wenbin with a smile:
"Let's go, let's go. Don't miss the time. Let's have a celebratory drink tonight!"
"Yes! I'll go right away!" Zhao Wenbin bowed his head and said.
