Xu Chunjun and the others had a smooth journey, and they entered Chenzhou on the seventh day.

At this time, it was just dawn.

Zi Ling was busy preparing breakfast with the maids.

After breakfast on board, you can abandon the boat and go ashore at noon.

Zheng Wuji and Xu Chunjun also got up, Ah Mino Xu Chunjun was doing her makeup, and Zheng Wuji was combing her daughter's hair.

Fang Fei's hair is thin and soft, Zheng Wuji carefully combed her two horn buns, and put on two pearl flowers, she is delicate and lovely.

Fang Fei is only one year old, but she is naturally good at coaxing people.

After Zheng Wuji combed her hair, she did not forget to turn around and kiss Zheng Wuji on the face.

Make Zheng Wuji beautiful!Hun'er is about to float into the sky.

"Master Hou, madam," Aunt Huang walked into the cabin, "Why are there so many people standing on the front bank? It's so dark and scary to watch."

"I'll go out and have a look." Zheng Wuji said, put his daughter on the bed and stood up.

When he got out of the cabin, he saw that the two banks not far ahead were full of people.

This situation can only be compared with the dragon boat race held in Huaiyang.

"Strange, this is not a special day." Zheng Wuji wondered, "What are these people doing standing on both sides of the strait?"

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Is this Mr. Zheng?"

The boatman replied loudly: "It is Mr. Zheng of Zhizhou, who are you waiting for?"

Those people immediately jumped up when they heard it, and said to each other: "Master Zheng is back! It's great!"

At this time Xu Chunjun also came out of the cabin, and the crowd shouted: "It's Madam! And Madam!"

Then the people shouted in unison: "Welcome Mrs. Zheng and Madam back to Chenzhou!"

It turned out that these common people had heard that Zheng Wuji was coming back, they were overjoyed, and came to the shore to wait every day before dawn.

Today finally arrived.

"Mr. Chun, this is the hearts of the people." Zheng Wuji was very excited, holding Xu Chunjun's hand and said, "I will never forget this scene today."

And the people on the shore have already started beating gongs and drums, and setting off firecrackers.

Zheng Wuji's return is their common wish, how lucky to have such a parent who loves the people like a son!

This section of waterway is hundreds of miles along the way, full of people from Chenzhou.

Men, women, young and old, everyone is jubilant.

After Zheng Wuji regained his composure several times, he suppressed the hot tears welling up in his eyes.

"Master Hou, the common people love you so much, it's because of your consideration for them." Xu Chunjun said softly, "The hearts of the people are like monuments, which cannot be bought with a thousand dollars."

"If I have credit, I must have half of it from you." Zheng Wuji held Xu Chunjun's hand, "Chun Jun, you made me perfect."

When Zheng Wuji returned to his post, Mr. Wu and his staff had already prepared all the documents and books.

Both Zheng Wuji and Xu Chunjun thanked him for their hard work, and Mr. Wu said with a smile: "Actually, I don't do much. There are indeed a few smart people in the voluntary school run by your lord. I selected them all, three months earlier than the expected time." months."

"Have all the property of those criminal families been verified?" Zheng Wuji asked again.

"I've verified everything on the surface, and I need to investigate more in the dark." Mr. Wu said.

"Tomorrow, you take someone to Huaiyang Prince's Mansion to see if there is anything at the bottom of his lotus pond."

When Zheng Wuji and Xu Chunjun went to see King Huaiyang in the prison, he once said that gold and silver were still buried at the bottom of the lotus pond in his house.

As for the authenticity, it has to be dug to see.

Zheng Wuji ate his meal in a hurry, did not even take a nap, and started to check the accounts with Mr. Wu and others.

Although Xu Chunjun and the others haven't been here for half a year, the people who stayed behind have also taken care of the place in an orderly manner. Xu Chunjun doesn't need to buy anything when he comes back.

Merchants on the street sent many things spontaneously, which are all the wishes of the common people.

Ziling smiled and said to Xu Chunjun: "If the girl sends it back like this, they will definitely not accept it, it will take a lot of trouble.

How about this, and give them the things we brought from the capital as a gift in return. "

"You have a good idea, let's do it this way." Xu Chunjun nodded with a smile, "It's just time to unload the car, let's distribute it in the yard."

At night, prepare the meals and serve them directly to the front.

Zheng Wuji had dinner with Mr. Wu and others.

Xu Chunjun knew he was busy, so he didn't bother him.

Fang Fei refused to go to bed before going to bed, and wanted to find her father.

Xu Chunjun then coaxed her and said, "Good Fangfei, good Fangfei, it's the same when mother hugs Paipai to sleep."

Fang Fei was somewhat unhappy, but she didn't resist much.

When he was about to sleep, Zheng Wuji came back from the front.

Fang Fei woke up immediately, and stretched out her little hand to be hugged by him.

"Little darling, come quickly." Zheng Wuji hugged his daughter in his arms, shaking her gently, "Daddy put you to sleep, go get busy again."

Then she whispered to Xu Chunjun: "You are tired from running all the way. Go to bed earlier! I will put her to sleep."

"It's been a hard day for you, why don't you lie down and rest first." Xu Chunjun also felt sorry for her husband.

"I'm a big man, what is this?" Zheng Wuji refused to let her work any longer, "When I was resting in the evening, Mr. Wu and I played a set of punches to loosen our muscles and bones, so we don't feel tired anymore."

Xu Chunjun was not in a hurry to sleep, and the two of them talked in a low voice under the lamp.

Fang Fei soon fell asleep, Zheng Wuji put her down gently, and kissed Xu Chunjun's face before going out.

The next day, Mr. Wu took people to Huaiyang Palace.

After draining the water in the lotus pond, as expected, forty Weng gold and silver were dug out from the silt in the pond.

Zheng Wuji made a report.

One month later, the imperial court issued an order that half of these operations should be handed over and the other half should be retained.

He also said that because King Huaiyang had been domineering in Chenzhou for decades, seizing people's wealth and abusing people's power.

For this reason, the imperial court deliberately exempted Chenzhou from taxes for three years to show appeasement.

With this decree, all the people rejoice.

Zheng Wuji led people to measure and divide the confiscated properties and distribute them to the landless people.

Because the land in Chenzhou has been merged so much that it has almost reached the point where "the rich are connected with fields, and the poor have no place to stand".

Zheng Wuji was well aware of the principle of not worrying about scarcity but about inequality. If the land is distributed equally, each family's income is limited, but since irrigation is not a problem, it is still more than enough to fill their stomachs.

After that, he led the people to transform bad fields, such as fields with uneven terrain, insufficient fertility, or difficult water diversion. After the transformation, they all became good fields.

In the blink of an eye, it was deep winter, and the first snow fell.

Zheng Wuji took Xu Chunjun's hand and stood on the tower, tapped his sore back, let out a long sigh of relief, pointed to the farmland covered by snow in the distance and said: "Next year's crops will definitely have a bumper harvest, as long as there are two good years in a row, you don't have to By paying taxes, the common people have savings.

The life of the common people is better, and the business of the merchants is also easier.There are more families who are willing to let their children study, and life will be more hopeful. "
