The Wang clan members collected the corpses and receded like a tide.
In front of the butcher's knife, no one dared to argue with Li Qinzai anymore, because this dude from Chang'an was not kidding, he really dared to kill people.
A dandy cannot be reasonable, he will only act like an impulsive drunkard, doing things based on his likes and dislikes, regardless of the consequences, especially when such a person holds a knife handle in his hand...
The Wang clan did not dare to fight anymore, as they would lose their heads at any time. The battlefield between them and Li Qinzai could only be changed to the Chang'an court.
Seeing Wang Xingchen leading his clan members to retreat, leaving only a shocking pool of blood on the ground, Li Qinzai turned around and returned to the Governor's Mansion with an expressionless face.
Liu Asi followed him, raising his voice as he walked: "Where are the guards? Come out and wash the floor!"
Entering the Governor's Mansion, Liu Asi whispered: "Fifth Young Master, Mrs. Han and her mother have set out on the road to Chang'an, and a thousand soldiers from the Ningshuo Governor's Mansion are accompanying them to protect them."
Li Qinzai hummed and said, "Is there any news about food preparation in the south?"
"Yes, the emperor has issued an order to mobilize grain from dozens of cities in the south to provide relief to the north. The first batch of 100,000 stones has been put on the ship and will go to Bingzhou via the Grand Canal. It will arrive in about a month."
Li Qinzai breathed a heartfelt sigh of relief and said: "That's good, that's good... This is the life-saving food for the people in the north this year. Fortunately, we got rid of those who were driving up food prices before the food relief arrived."
"Fifth Young Master, the mastermind behind the scenes has been questioned. Where are the grain merchants?"
Li Qinzai sneered: "Of course they can't run away. After Bingzhou is stabilized, it will be the turn of the grain merchants."
Staring into the vast distance, Li Qinzai sighed: "Hurry up and do things quickly. If nothing else happens, His Majesty's order is coming soon. We will return to Chang'an soon..."
Liu Asi was stunned: "Going back to Chang'an so soon? Fifth Young Master, you have been appointed governor for less than a month."
"The things are done, of course it's time to go back. His Majesty doesn't really intend to let me be the governor forever."
Returning to the governor's office, Li Qinzai wrote down everything that had happened recently in Bingzhou in a memorial, and sent someone to quickly send it to Chang'an.
In the next few days, Li Qinzai began to go out of the city to visit the four counties under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou.
This year's drought is irreversible, and relief food is on the way. Li Qinzai is concerned about the progress of canal digging.
For Bingzhou, this is a long-term achievement, and the people will benefit from it for thousands of years and will no longer suffer from drought.
Thirty thousand soldiers dug the canals. Although the amount of work was huge, the obedience of the soldiers was reflected in the project, which was indeed much better than ordinary corvee laborers and craftsmen.
Li Qinzai visited several counties and found that the main canals in each county had been completed, and soldiers were connecting the canals to various villages and villages. Several reservoirs had been built upstream of the water sources of the canals to release water during droughts and store floods during floods.
Reservoirs and ditches cannot be repaired blindly. Before starting the construction, Li Qinzai invited famous local Su Lao and water conservancy experts to inspect, carefully recorded their suggestions, and after his own on-site verification, he decided on the location of the main canal and reservoir.
Now the project is basically nearing completion. If nothing unexpected happens, this huge project will be completed in more than a month.
Looking at the ditches and reservoirs that have taken shape, Li Qinzai is sincerely pleased.
Although such a project is time-consuming and labor-intensive, its significance is much greater than that of an emperor building a palace. He was able to accomplish such a feat when he was the governor, and he lived up to his official duties.
More than ten days later, a knight came from Chang'an and brought Li Zhi's imperial edict.
Bo Liqin of Weinan County returned to Chang'an to report on his duties with the governor of Bingzhou.
After reading the imperial edict, the knight hurried back to Beijing to resume his duties.
Li Qinzai sat alone in the courtyard, but his expression was quite complicated.
At first he was unwilling to take office, but as time went by, he unknowingly developed feelings for Bingzhou. He suddenly wanted to ask Li Zhi to let him serve for a few more years, and wanted to see how Bingzhou would turn out under his rule in a few years. What a situation.
He wanted to stay, but he couldn't bear to leave his mother-in-law and son in Chang'an; he wanted to leave, but he couldn't bear to leave the people of Bingzhou.
Feeling very conflicted, he sat in the courtyard for a long time holding the holy edict in both hands, then slowly got up and ordered Liu Asi and the others to pack their luggage.
There is nothing wrong with Bingzhou, and he can be considered a blessing. The people no longer need him, but the mother-in-law and son of Chang'an need him.
Men should always go where they are needed. Thousands of years later, some people called this mentality "responsibility."
The next day, Li Qinzai rarely got up early in the morning.
Leading the officials and servants of the governor's office, Li Qinzai, dressed in official uniform, inspected the official warehouse and the streets of Bingzhou City for the last time, checking the grain stored in the official warehouse, passing by the shops on the street to inquire about the prices of various goods, etc.
The new governor appointed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs is still on his way to Bingzhou, and the governor of the governor's office has been imprisoned.
Li Qinzai handed over the official warehouse account books and various matters to the governor of the governor's office, and solemnly handed over the official seal to the governor. After instructing the progress and matters of the canal digging project outside the city, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and unloaded the Overcome a huge burden.
The streets were a little quiet in the early morning, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Li Qinzai led the officials and servants walking on the streets of the city, and it seemed that he did not attract many people's attention.
Returning to the Governor's Mansion, Liu Asi and other troops had arranged the carriage and parked quietly in front of the door to wait.
Li Qinzai turned around, smiled at the chief historian and the officers, bowed his head and saluted, and said: "It is a great honor for Li to work with you. Everyone, please take care."
The eyes of Chang Shi and the guards were red, and they all returned the courtesy.
The long history officer then swallowed: "Li Jishi suppressed grain prices and built water conservancy projects, which will bring blessings to all generations. He will surely make history shine brightly. Millions of people in Bingzhou will feel the favor of the governor."
Li Qinzai smiled and shook his head: "I just did a few things casually, it's not that serious."
After a pause, Li Qinzai looked solemn and said: "Tell the newly appointed governor these four words, 'Be kind to the people'."
"yes."
I don’t like parting, like a piece of candy that sticks to my hand and can’t be shaken off, making me sad.
Li Qinzai waved his hand gracefully, turned around and boarded the carriage.
The driver cracked his whip, and the carriage started slowly, heading outside the city gate.
Just after leaving the city gate, the driver suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, saying in a trembling voice: "Five, fifth young master..."
Li Qinzai was sleeping in the carriage and said impatiently: "What's wrong?"
"Yes, there is someone..."
"What?" Li Qinzai opened the curtain and was stunned by the scene outside the carriage.
Outside the city gate, beside the suspension bridge, there is a sea of people. The dark crowd can't be seen to the end. They are all ordinary people.
Everyone was watching him quietly, and the scene of tens of thousands of people was silent, as if they were afraid of disturbing Li Qinzai's schedule.
Li Qinzai was stunned for a long time and hurriedly got off the carriage.
Two elderly Dewangsu elders came forward and bowed respectfully to Li Qinzai.
With Mr. Su taking the lead, tens of thousands of people knelt down at the same time, and the dark crowd instantly shrank.
"Thousands of families will be blessed with Buddhas, which will benefit one area, and the people of Bingzhou will send Governor Li back to the capital."
