Liu Mi left in a hurry.
The errand that Han Zhen just handed over was a big project.
Yidu County has millions of acres of farmland and a population of more than 200,000. It would take a few months to complete the statistics.
Watching Liu Mi leave, Zhao Ting asked: "County magistrate, where are the subordinates?"
He was now eager to show off in order to please Han Zhen.
The reason for this is that when I was working in Hangzhou, the root of my illness fell into my heart.
Every time Fang La captured a place, he would kill and massacre the officials.
If he hadn't run so fast, his head would have been hung on the city tower together with the transporter, the judge and others.
Although he knew that Han Zhen was different from the other rebels, he still couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
After going back last night, I kept tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, the image of Han Zhen chopping his head appeared in my mind.
Therefore, when Han Zhen mentioned the land allocation just now, he would donate the land.
"Not urgent."
Han Zhen waved his hand and explained: "Zhao Zhizhou will join me later to appease the people."
He already had an understanding of Zhao Ting's character, and he definitely had some talent, but he couldn't entrust him with important responsibilities.
After all, he has the status of Zhizhou, so he will be placed beside him as a mascot first, and other arrangements will be made later.
However, Zhao Ting didn't know that. He only thought that he had successfully won Han Zhen's trust and deliberately arranged for him to be by his side.
Close ministers are the confidants!
Therefore, he felt quite proud.
Not long after, Wang Weizhong came back to resume his duties.
"Reporting to the county magistrate, the casualties and losses of the people affected by the disaster the night before have been fully counted. The burned houses and belongings have been converted into money. Please take a look at the county magistrate."
After Wang Weizhong finished speaking, he held the account book in both hands and presented the case to the court.
After taking the account book, Han Zhen started to look through it.
It's okay, the number of casualties is not too many.
The main reason was that Nie Dong led the army in pursuit the night before. The daredevils had no time to kill and loot, so they just set fire everywhere, burning many houses and shops.
After closing the account book, Han Zhen ordered: "According to the total amount in the account book, appropriate a sum of money from the treasury and come with me to express condolences to the people affected by the disaster."
Zhao Ting and Wang Weizhong knew that Han Zhen was planning to win people's hearts.
The method is extremely simple and crude.
Send money!
But I have to say, this method is very effective.
Ten thousand good words are not worth the real money in front of you.
Not long after, Wang Weizhong took out the money from the treasury.
A total of 3,500 strings were loaded into four carts.
Zhao Ting originally wanted to ride in a sedan chair, but when he saw Han Zhen riding on a war horse, he had to call the official to bring a horse.
The morning light fell, and the rich smell of human fireworks filled the streets and alleys again.
The east and west city gates were open, and vegetable farmers and caravans were constantly coming and going.
The city gate cannot always be closed. With more than 100,000 people in the county and city eating, drinking and eating, could they all be piled up in the city?
However, under the guard of the Qingzhou Army, entry and exit inspections were several times stricter than before.
Under the road guide system, ordinary people basically would not travel far away. Only businessmen and scholars could often travel far away. They only needed to focus on interrogating these two types of people, so the workload of the city defenders was not particularly heavy.
Han Zhen rode at the front, with Zhao Ting and Shi Wenhui on the left and right, half a body behind.
Behind it were four ox carts loaded with copper coins, as well as dozens of accompanying government officials and scribes.
This battle naturally attracted the attention of the people.
One by one, they got out of the way and looked at them curiously. When they saw the baskets of yellow copper coins on the oxcart, they couldn't help but whisper.
"What is this for?"
"Xu is a reward for the officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army."
"Who is the young gentleman at the head? Why are you walking in front of Mr. Zhizhou?"
"I heard from Dr. Cha that this young man is the commander of the Qingzhou Army."
"Which one is bigger, Tongzhi or Zhizhou?"
"This... naturally has great control, otherwise how could we be in the lead!"
…
Along the street, Han Zhen came all the way to the outer city.
Some people in the inner city were also affected by the disaster, but those who could live in the inner city were either rich or noble, so it was not a big deal if their houses were burned down.
Therefore, there is no need to take care of it. On the contrary, the people in the outer city are all poor people. Now that their houses are burned down, they are afraid that they will either stay with relatives and friends last night, or sleep on the streets.
Under Wang Weizhong's guidance, Han Zhen rode his horse to an alley.
Almost half of the entire alley was burned, and more than ten households were affected.
The houses in the outer city are densely packed, and once a fire breaks out, it will spread quickly.
At this moment, on top of the ruins, a group of disaster-stricken people were searching with baskets on their backs, trying to find useful things.
In the city, it costs money to buy firewood, so people will naturally make the best use of it.
The arrival of Han Zhen and others made everyone stop their movements and look around.
Just now, when the casualties and losses were being counted, Wang Weizhong had already come once. Seeing another group of officials arriving, the common people couldn't help but look puzzled.
Without Han Zhen's instructions, Wang Weizhong stepped forward on horseback and said loudly: "People affected by the disaster, please come forward. The county magistrate and the prefect have taken pity on you and others, and have come to pay compensation."
compensate!
Wow!
These words immediately caused the onlookers to explode.
The affected people on the ruins couldn't believe it, and were filled with shock and uncertainty.
In the past, if a family suffered a disaster, the government would not take care of it.
Nowadays, not only do they come to offer condolences, but they also provide compensation, which is simply unheard of.
Seeing the people affected by the disaster standing there stunned, Wang Weizhong frowned slightly and shouted: "Why are you still standing there waiting? Come here quickly!"
Hearing this, the affected people on the ruins looked at each other and walked over tremblingly.
"I've met... I've met all the gentlemen."
Dozens of people brought their families with them, bowed and bowed, and then lowered their heads.
It was because Han Zhen gave them too much pressure.
The dark armor reflected cold light under the scorching sun. Even though Han Zhen looked normal, the majesty on his body still made them feel breathless.
Looking around at the crowd condescendingly, Han Zhen slowly said: "The rebels who dared to attack the city the night before and caused disaster to you and others are due to my dereliction of duty as the county magistrate. Such disasters will definitely not happen again in the future. "
County magistrate?
What kind of official is this?
Everyone looked at each other with confused expressions.
Although the people didn't understand, from the tone of voice, it seemed that the official was older than the magistrate.
At this time, I heard Han Zhen continue to say: "I have asked the officials to calculate and convert your losses into money, and fully compensate you and others. I hope that a new house will be built as soon as possible to avoid the suffering of sleeping in the open air."
After saying that, before the people had come to their senses, Han Zhen made a gesture to Wang Weizhong.
Seeing this, Wang Weizhong opened the account book and read aloud: "Qi Zhong, the house and property at home can be converted into thirty-eight coins."
As soon as he finished speaking, four government officials immediately lifted two baskets of copper coins from the bullock cart, and the scribes carried a large scale and began to weigh them.
Soon, the government servants carried thirty-eight copper coins to a family of people affected by the disaster.
boom!
The basket full of copper coins hit the ground with a heavy muffled sound.
Qi Zhong looked at the two large baskets of copper coins at his feet with a dull expression, and then at Han Zhen. Then he suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times in a row, and said with tears in his eyes, "Master Qingtian!"
Behind him, the whole family, young and old, also knelt down and kept saying thanks.
hiss!
This scene made the onlookers dumbfounded.
Actually... actually gave me money!
