Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 324 Transfer order to return to Beijing
The members of the Wang clan packed up the corpses and receded like a tide.

In front of the butcher knife, no one dared to argue with Li Qinzai again, because this dandy from Chang'an was no joke, he really dared to kill people.

A dude can't be reasonable, he'll just act like an impulsive drunk, who only does things based on his likes and dislikes, regardless of the consequences, especially when such a person still holds a knife in his hand...

The members of the Wang clan didn't dare to fight anymore, and they would lose their heads at any time. The battlefield between them and Li Qinzai could only be changed to Chang'an court.

Seeing that Wang Xingchen led the clansmen back, leaving only a shocking pool of blood on the ground, Li Qinzai turned back to the governor's mansion expressionlessly.

Liu Ahsi followed behind him, raising his voice as he walked, "Where is the guard? Come out and wash the floor!"

After entering the Governor's Mansion, Liu Asi whispered: "Five Shaolang, Mrs. Han and her mother are already on their way to Chang'an, and a thousand soldiers from the Ningshuo Governor's Mansion accompanied them to protect them."

Li Qinzai hummed, and said, "Is there any news about raising food in the south?"

"Yes, the emperor has issued an order to collect grain from dozens of cities in the south to help the north. The first batch of [-] shi has already boarded the boat and is heading for Bingzhou via the Grand Canal. It will arrive in about a month."

Li Qinzai breathed a sigh of relief sincerely, and said, "That's good, that's good... This is the life-saving food for the people in the north this year. Fortunately, those who raised the price of food were eliminated before the relief food arrived."

"Wu Shaolang, 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 stabilizes, it's the turn of the grain merchants."

Staring at the vast distance, Li Qinzai sighed softly: "Hurry up and do things, if there is no accident, His Majesty's order will come soon, and we will return to Chang'an soon..."

Liu Ah Si was stunned: "Going back to Chang'an so soon? Wu Shaolang, you have been appointed governor for less than a month."

"The matter is done, of course it's time to go back. Your Majesty will not really plan to let me be the governor forever."

Back in the governor's mansion, Li Qinzai wrote down everything that happened in Bingzhou recently in the memorial, and sent someone to send it to Chang'an quickly.

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 the food for disaster relief is on the way. Li Qinzai is concerned about the progress of digging ditches.

For Bingzhou, this is a great achievement for thousands of years, and the people will benefit for thousands of years, and will no longer suffer from drought.

Thirty thousand soldiers dug the ditches. Although the amount of work was huge, the obedience of the soldiers was reflected in the work, which was indeed much better than ordinary corvee workers and craftsmen.

Li Qinzai visited several counties and found that the main canals in each county had been completed, and soldiers were leading the canals to various villages. Several reservoirs were built upstream of the water sources of the canals to release water in droughts and store floods in floods.

Reservoirs and ditches should not be repaired blindly. Long before the start of construction, Li Qinzai invited well-known local elders and water conservancy experts to investigate, carefully recorded their suggestions, and determined the location of the main canal and reservoir after field investigation.

Now the project is basically coming to an end. If there are no accidents, this huge project will be completed in more than a month.

Looking at the ditches and reservoirs that have already taken shape, Li Qinzai felt gratified from the bottom of his heart.

Although such a project is time-consuming and labor-intensive, its significance is much greater than that of the emperor's palace. I was able to accomplish such a feat when I was appointed as the governor, and I am worthy of being an official.

More than ten days later, a knight galloped from Chang'an, and the knight brought Li Zhi's imperial edict.

Weinan County Bo Liqin carried the dismissal of the governor of Bingzhou and returned to Chang'an to report on his work.

After reading the imperial decree, the knight hurried back to Beijing to return to his command.

Li Qinzai sat alone in the courtyard, but his expression was quite complicated.

At the beginning, he was unwilling to take office, but after a long time, he unconsciously 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 under his rule would be in a few years. What is the situation.

I want to stay, but I can't bear the mother-in-law and son in Chang'an, and I want to leave, but I can't bear the people of Bingzhou.

Feeling very conflicted, he sat in the courtyard for a long time holding the holy decree in both hands, and then slowly got up, ordering Liu Ahsi and the trilogy to pack their luggage.

There is nothing wrong with Bingzhou, and I can count myself as a benefit. The people no longer need me, but the mother-in-law and son in Chang'an need me.

Men should always go where they are needed.Thousands of years later, some people call this mentality "responsibility".

The next day, Li Qinzai rarely got up early in the morning.

Leading the officials and servants of the governor's mansion, Li Qinzai, wearing official uniform, inspected the official warehouse and the streets of Bingzhou City for the last time, checked the grain stored in the official warehouse, passed by the shops on the street, and inquired about the prices of various goods, etc.

The new governor appointed by the Ministry of Officials is still on his way to Bingzhou, and Bie Jia from the governor's mansion has been taken to prison.

Li Qinzai handed over the account books and various matters of the official warehouse to the chief of the governor's office, and solemnly handed over the official seal to the chief. It is a heavy burden.

The streets in the early morning were a bit quiet, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Li Qinzai led the officials and guards to walk on the streets of the city without attracting the attention of many people.

Before returning to the Governor's Mansion, Liu Ah Si and the others had already arranged the carriage and waited quietly in front of the door.

Li Qinzai turned around and smiled at Chang Shi and the guards, bowed his head and said, "It's a great honor for Li to work with you gentlemen. Take care, everyone."

The eyes of Chang Shi and the guards were red, and they returned the gift one after another.

Chang Shi choked up and said: "Inspector Li suppressed food prices and built water conservancy projects. This will bring blessings to all generations, and the history will shine brightly. Millions of people in Bingzhou feel the favor of the governor."

Li Qinzai shook his head with a smile: "It's just a few things I did casually, it's not that serious."

After a pause, Li Qinzai's face became serious, and he said, "Tell the new governor four words, 'Be kind to the people'."

"Yes."

I don't like parting, it's like a sticky piece of candy that sticks to my hands and can't be shaken off, which makes me sad.

Li Qinzai waved his hand smartly, turned around and boarded the carriage.

The coachman slapped his whip, and the carriage started slowly towards the outside of the city gate.

Just after leaving the city gate, the coachman stopped his horse suddenly and said in a trembling voice, "Five, Wu Shaolang..."

Li Qinzai was sleeping in the carriage, and said impatiently, "What's wrong?"

"Yes, someone..."

"What?" Li Qinzai lifted the curtain, and was stunned by the scene outside the carriage.

Outside the city gate, beside the suspension bridge, there was a sea of ​​people, the dark crowd could not see the end, all of them were ordinary people.

Everyone was watching him quietly, the scene of tens of thousands of people was silent, as if they were afraid of disturbing Li Qinzai's itinerary.

Li Qinzai was stunned for a long time, then hurriedly got out of the carriage.

Two old Dewangsu elders stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Li Qinzai on both knees.

As Su Lao took the lead, tens of thousands of people knelt on the ground at the same time, and the dark crowd instantly became shorter.

"Thousands of families gave birth to Buddha, benefiting one side, and the people of Bingzhou sent Governor Li back to Beijing."
