Chapter 53 Picking up leaks! Wang's future development plan
…
As he spoke, the flying chariot had slowly landed outside the Weidong City Gate of Changning.
"唳~"
The red-crowned crane flapped its wings, gracefully stopped on the yellow mud ground, raised its head and let out a soft cry.
The carriage that had been chattering before suddenly became quiet. The three core disciples, including Ji Mingyu, subconsciously arranged their clothes and put on their best looks.
"Let's go~"
Fang Youan led the crowd out of the car.
It was cloudy and the light outside the city was not good, but the appearance of the four of them still made people feel like they were shining brightly.
Regardless of appearance or temperament, the four of them are all the best among people, especially their high-spirited posture and flying spirit, which makes it easy for people to fall in love with them.
There is no doubt that each of them is the pride of heaven.
Especially the leader, Fang Youan, has an outstanding temperament. He has a kind of detached bearing. Standing in a crowd, he feels like he stands out from the crowd. Even the city guard who is in the heaven and human realm is not as good as him in terms of bearing alone.
he.
The heads of many aristocratic families present could not help but feel a touch of emotion and envy in their eyes, and they suddenly felt like "it would be great if our family could have such a talented person".
Even the head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Jinhuan, and the head of the Tianren Lei family are no exception.
It's them?
In the crowd, Wang Shouzhe raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
He had also thought about who the direct disciples who came to the academy this time would be? But he never thought that it would be Fang Youan and the others.
But after thinking about it, it makes sense.
There are not many idle disciples in Zifu Academy, so it is reasonable for Fang Youan to take some junior brothers and sisters to do a large-scale mission.
Just as he was thinking about it.
The city guard, Xiahou Hongde, had already taken the lead to greet him with a smile on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "You are the proud sons of Zifu Academy, right? I am the city guard of Changning, Xiahou Hongde. See you.
To all the geniuses who have passed through the academy, I apologize for missing you from afar."
After that, he also took out his identity token for the other party to detect.
Fang You'an also followed the rules and scanned the identity token with his spiritual sense. After confirming the identity of the other party, he politely returned the gift and said: "You are so polite, Lord City Guard. I am the Xuan of the Purple Mansion Academy."
Bingdian Fang Youan, together with all the junior brothers and sisters, were ordered to come to the Changning Guard area to assist you adults in managing the disaster."
As he spoke, he also took out the token and the appointment document jointly issued by the Zifu Academy and the County Sheriff's Mansion.
Xiahou Hongde did not dare to neglect, but he followed the rules and carefully checked the token and appointment documents.
After confirming that there was no problem, he saluted with an even more respectful expression: "I pay my respects to the Chief Inspector and all the Inspectors."
No matter whether it was the other party's appointed position or his status as a direct disciple of the academy, he could not afford to slack off in the slightest.
Let’s not talk about the Chief Inspector Fang Youan, who has an unfathomable level of cultivation at such a young age. Behind him is the one standing in the Xuan Bing Palace... Among all the Masters of the Purple Mansion in the Academy, that one
You are definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, he has also heard that the individual disciples of the Xuanbing Palace lineage in Zifu Academy are very powerful in combat. The core disciples are all extraordinary generals, not to mention a direct disciple of the Heavenly Realm.
Okay. How can you allow him to look down upon you?
"Lord City Guard, you are very polite. You are a senior, just call me You'an." Fang You'an has a gentlemanly demeanor and is a rare good-tempered master of Xuanbing Palace.
"How dare you, Governor You'an?" After a brief exchange of greetings, Xiahou Hongde said, "I will first introduce to the Governor the heads of the families of our Changning Guard."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The two clan heads, Tianren Lei and Tianren Huangfu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked up with smiles on their faces, followed by the other clan heads.
It is very rare for an important figure of the level of a direct disciple of Zifu Academy to visit Changning Guard. If you are lucky enough to be able to establish a relationship with him and form a good relationship, it will be beneficial to the family.
As for Wang Shouzhe, he was half a beat too slow and fell to the end.
His in-laws and allies are not particularly active. After all, they follow Wang Shouzhe and have seen a lot of things recently.
Although the direct disciples of the academy have noble status, they are not easy to win over. It is most practical to hug Shouzhe's thigh tightly.
"General Inspector You'an, distinguished inspectors. These two are Lei Qiuwei, the chief of the Lei clan of Tianren, and Huangfu Jinhuan of the Huangfu clan of Tianren."
According to the rules, Xiahou Hongde first introduced the two heavenly families.
Lei Qiuwei and Huangfu Jinhuan immediately raised their hands with smiles on their faces and said, "I have met the Chief Inspector and all the Inspectors."
Fang You'an is not the kind of person who doesn't like the fireworks of the world. He understands that to handle local affairs, he has to rely on local powerful people, so naturally he will not neglect them with high regard.
He was just about to return the favor and introduce his junior brothers and sisters.
Suddenly.
Senior Brother Yangde shouted: "Isn't that Junior Brother Shouzhe?"
Junior 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 stunned, a little happy, and immediately raised his hands towards Lei Qiuwei and Huangfu Jinhuan, and said apologetically: "You two, I'm sorry for now. I ran into an acquaintance, so I went to say hello first."
Under the leadership of Fang Youan, a group of Xuanbing Palace disciples walked towards Wang Shouzhe with smiles. Wherever they passed, everyone in the Changning Guard gave way.
Without waiting for Fang You'an to speak, Wang Shouzhe took the lead in saluting and said: "Shouzhe has met senior brother You'an, all the senior brothers, and this senior sister."
Fang You'an returned the gift gently: "Junior brother Shouzhe, it has been more than two months since we had a hurried farewell in the academy that day. 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 favor, shouting "Junior Brother Shouzhe".
They all also know that Wang Shouzhe is the registered disciple of Master Changchun.
Although the word "registered" was mentioned, they all knew that it was a helpless move. As long as Wang Shouzhe was willing, Master Changchun could accept him as his direct disciple at any time.
Moreover, they also take it for granted. This junior brother Shouzhe is far less than thirty years old, and he can defeat Ji Mingyu at a young age. Even if he wants to join the Xuanbing Palace, their master, Master Binglan, will probably accept him as his
Personally passed down.
This is the ethos of the academy, regardless of origin. If you are not strong enough, even if you are born in the Zifu family, some core disciples and direct disciples will not take you seriously.
But someone like Wang Shouzhe earned his position purely by relying on his own strength. Even Ji Mingyu admired him so much that he didn't dare to fight again.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Wang Shouzhe also learned their names, and greeted them: "Brother Yangde, Senior Sister Cailing. After this incident, don't leave in a hurry, and allow Shouzhe to entertain them properly."
"
Seeing that they were so familiar with each other, the expressions of each eighth-grade aristocratic family became a little subtle. The in-laws and allies were naturally happy, while the others had slightly complicated expressions.
Lei Qiuwei and Huangfu Jinhuan, the heads of the two heavenly and human families, were obviously embarrassed.
They rushed to the front, wanting to get closer to the water and win the moon first, and to curry favor with the core disciples of the academy, but they did not expect that they would be so familiar with Wang Shouzhe and have such a close relationship.
Even the city guard Xiahou Hongde 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 Lords of Shangfeng, which is really enviable. However, this is not the place to talk. I am already here.
We have prepared a banquet in Baiwei Pavilion to welcome you all, Lord Shangfeng."
Obviously, he also saw the embarrassment of other families and couldn't help but take action to resolve it.
At the same time, Wang Shouzhe's status in his mind had invisibly increased by several levels. It seemed that some of the information he received about the academy was not comprehensive, and he underestimated Wang Shouzhe after all!
Fang You'an and others, who would not refute Xiahou Hongde's reputation, followed Jian Ruliu and followed everyone into the city.
After the city defense camp opened the way, the group went straight to Baiwei Pavilion.
Of course, Changningwei's Baiweige is still far from comparable to Longzuo County's Baiweige headquarters.
When they arrived at Baiwei Pavilion, they found that Qian Xue'an, the shopkeeper of Chang Ningwei Branch of Qian's Commercial Bank, was already guarding the door.
With his belly growing bigger and bigger, like Maitreya Buddha, he smiled and greeted Fang Youan and the core disciples of Zifu Academy.
When he saw Qian Cailing, he bowed deeply and shouted, "Xue'an has met Aunt Cailing."
"It turns out it's Xue'an." Qian Cailing looked him up and down, "It's only been two or three years since I last saw you and you've gained weight. It turns out you're also in Changning Guard."
Qian Cailing remembers Qian Xue'an very deeply.
He was originally just an inconspicuous bastard, but now he is getting better and better. He has made great contributions to the family several times, and even the ancestors of the family have mentioned his name twice.
What an honor is this? Even her, Qian Cailing, the core disciple of the prestigious academy, is becoming more and more impressed by Qian Xue'an.
Of course, this is also because Qian Xue'an is very good at sneaking into the academy. Whenever he gets an opportunity, he will go to the academy every two or three years.
She, Qian Cailing, also paid a lot of money to learn the benefits of An, so she was naturally very impressed.
This small conversation didn't sound like much. But the heads of the families in Changningwei couldn't help but look stern again, and their hearts became a little more solemn.
I feel that among the few core disciples in the academy, this female core disciple named Qian Cailing seems to be the most inconspicuous, but I didn't expect that she was actually from the Qian family.
In the entire Longzuo County, the Qian family is a famous fifth-grade Zifu family, with a very prominent position that almost no one dares to offend.
Even Wang Shouzhe cast a few more glances at Qian Cailing. Unexpectedly, this senior Cailing was Qian Xuean's aunt.
Zifu Academy is indeed a place where dragons and tigers are hidden.
In other words, the Longzuo Qian family's background is indeed extremely rich.
Afterwards, there was naturally a warm reception. With the presence of Qian Xue'an, a long-sleeved dancer, the atmosphere became much more lively.
After three drinks.
Fang Youan's face straightened, he cupped his hands towards the seats in the banquet and said: "Everyone, I have eaten and drank the wine, but the disaster cannot be ignored. I, Fang Youan, have been entrusted by the county governor's mansion and the academy to come to supervise
To investigate and quell the disaster, we need to ask for your help from everyone here. Lord City Guard, I just saw a lot of refugees gathering near Changning Guard from the air, I wonder if there are proper arrangements for this matter?"
As soon as business was mentioned, everyone's faces became serious.
Xiahou Hongde said solemnly: "This time the disaster in the middle and lower reaches of Anjiang River was very serious, and many refugees came to the east. Because only 30% of our Changning Guard area was affected by the disaster, many refugees gathered in Changning Guard and refused to leave. I have ordered the construction of
We have opened many temporary refugee camps and opened granaries to provide soup to the refugees. However, the number of refugees is increasing, and our Changningwei warehouse has limited food storage, and sooner or later we will be unable to cope with it."
Fang Youan's brows furrowed: "This time, several of our senior brothers went first, and some junior brothers and sisters came overland to collect food and grass along the way, but I'm afraid that water from far away can't quench our thirst nearby, and we need the help of our local aristocratic families."
As soon as this was said, everyone was silent for a while.
Dang Zhenghe, the Ningxi Dangshi, said with a wry smile: "General Inspector, our Ningxi Dangshi has been completely flooded, and all the tenant farmers and civilians in the area have fled to the area under the jurisdiction of Linzhen. If this fails,
When rescue comes, my party members are afraid that..."
The other aristocratic families also had bitter expressions on their faces, indicating that it was not the harvest season, and all families and clans were living off the surplus grain, and each family and clan also suffered considerable losses.
"Food is okay," said Qian Xu'an of Qian's Trading Company. "I can still raise some, and I can cope with it in a short time. The problem is that more and more refugees are gathering. Is it possible to drive them to other places? According to me
As we know, the disaster in the two acropolis in Zhenze, Dingnan, upstream of us, was even more serious. Countless fields and houses were washed away, especially Zhenzewei, which has been in a vast ocean so far, with countless casualties. The civilian tenant farmers who survived,
I’m afraid they are all homeless.”
"Hmph!" Fang Youan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Dingnan and Zhenze guards have neglected flood control, which resulted in this disaster. I'm afraid the good days of those two city guards are over. This matter
Let’s not mention it for now, we still need to ask the noble families to find ways to resettle those refugees.”
As soon as these words came out, all the aristocratic families were silent for a while, each thinking and calculating in their hearts.
Wang Shouzhe knew that it was not their fault.
After hundreds of years of development in Changningwei, the sites of most aristocratic families have reached a state of saturation. Increasing the number of tenant farmers and laborers will not bring substantial growth to the economy, but will increase various consumption and create burdens.
.
But Fang Youan's reputation cannot be refuted at will. He came here with the title of "General Inspector".
Even though he is gentle and talkative now, he is really going to make him angry. He might just kill an eighth-grade family to scare the monkeys.
After thinking for a while, all the family heads began to express their opinions one after another. Your family will accept one or two thousand refugees, and my family will accept two thousand refugees. Although we have tried our best, compared with the large number of refugee resettlement, it is still a drop in the bucket.
Some people even mentioned whether Donghaiwei or other guards could be allowed 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 said hurriedly: "We, the Lei family, are also willing to accept five thousand refugees."
In this way, Fang Youan's face became much relieved, at least the powerful people in these places were not just trying to shirk the blame.
"Senior Brother You'an." Wang Shouzhe thought for a long time, stood up 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 all fixed on Wang Shouzhe, with a look of disbelief on their faces.
Wang Shouzhe was filled with regret.
If he hadn't been unable to digest it for a while, he really wanted to include all the refugees. Because of Wang's next series of development plans, the larger the population required, the better.
