This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 640 On the Right Track
Temporarily putting aside all love for children, Wen Ruyan devoted herself to all the construction of Jingzhou.

Within a week, Wen Ruyan took out 30 taels of silver to help the victims, stabilized all the refugees outside Jingzhou who could not afford food, and then led all the officials in Jingzhou to mobilize in various places to persuade all the refugees to return. In his own village, all those starving corpses were collected and disposed of properly, fundamentally curbing the outbreak of the plague.

Originally, those refugees were unwilling to go home. After all, they had food and drink every day when they stayed here. Now that they returned home, and there was no food left at home, how could they survive?
It's just that at this time Wen Ruyan suddenly announced that everyone who returned home would have their land divided equally according to the population in a few days. This news just came out, and all the victims outside Jingzhou City were shocked.

Divide the land equally?

Meaning we will have our own land too?How can this be?

In fact, like they used to, they rented the land of those gentry and rich people to grow grain, but the rent was a bit too harsh. Most of the grain earned by the villagers in a year would not be much left after paying the rent to the landlord's house.

But if he has land now and doesn't need to pay so much food, wouldn't it be beautiful in the future?
Therefore, no one believed the news when it first came out. It was not until Wen Ruyan finally came forward in person and promised in public as His Highness King Jing of the Great Zhou Dynasty that there was no falsehood in this statement. Peace of mind.

It's just that some refugees still asked the question that everyone wanted to ask with a skeptical attitude, that is, how much food should be handed over to the court every year?

Adults are not stupid, and the court has no reason to give them land for nothing.If the taxes that need to be paid are the same as before, what is the point of giving this land to yourself?
It's just that after Wen Ruyan said the tax with a smile, everyone present really wanted to go home now.

The number given by Wen Ruyan was very small, almost less than one-tenth of what they had given before.

For this result, who could not be excited?
As for the equal distribution of land, Wen Ruyan naturally has no pressure. There are only eight towns outside Jingzhou City, and all the gentry and rich men in these eight towns have been taken by him at this moment. It is not clear what to do with the land now. He has the final say?

As for the tax, anyway, the Emperor Zhou had already told him to let him do it freely, so he still has the final say on the number?As long as the country's standards can be met, then everything is not a problem.

In just one week, all the refugees outside Jingzhou returned to their villages, and the messy scene in the past finally disappeared.

After seeing this result, Wen Ruyan, including the newly appointed officials in Jingzhou, also let out a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, since the disaster in Jingzhou, all the systems here seem to have ceased to exist. Just imagine, what moral bottom line do people who are extremely hungry have?
Robbery, rape, and even homicide incidents emerge in endlessly.

If it goes on like this for a long time, when human nature is about to disappear, someone suddenly stands up and shouts rebellion, and I am afraid that everyone will respond.

And at that time, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to end.

So seeing that Wen Ruyan was able to solve this huge problem within a week, all the newly appointed officials were completely convinced by him, and it was also because of this that Wen Ruyan's orders were never given. Doubt, the efficiency of doing things has also been improved by a few levels!
After those refugees returned home, Wen Ruyan took out a full 80 taels of silver and sent people to buy grain and seeds from various places, and then distributed them equally to each household according to their head.

After all, these refugees have no food left in their homes. If they can't even afford food now, what's the use of giving them land?

Everything in Jingzhou is finally on the right track.

As for those who took the opportunity to commit crimes during the disaster, Wen Ruyan also sent someone to find them out one by one.

Liujia Village.

Seeing her village restored to its previous state again, Granny Wang couldn't help but feel happy. In fact, she doesn't have any relatives anymore. Her wife left early, and her only son died of illness a few years ago.

Even so, the warmth in the village cannot be expressed simply in words. Although she has long been a loner, the neighbors miss her as she is getting old, and they treat her as their own old man all these years .

Now that everyone is back, how can she be unhappy?
And when someone from Jingzhou City brought the food to her home, even though she was old, she was also moved to tears at this moment.

Holding Ning Wan'er's hand, he kept muttering: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing is so kind to us, so kind to us!"

Wen Ruyan's identity has naturally been made public long ago, who doesn't know that Wen Ruyan is the son-in-law of the Chu family?

It's just that others may just smile slightly when they hear the news, but to Ning Wan'er, it's like a thunderbolt ringing directly in her ears.

He turned out to be the prince of Da Zhou?

Although Ning Wan'er has lost her memory and can't remember anything, she still understands how noble this prince's identity is.

I was able to have a relationship with such a person before, so what is my identity?
But no matter what she thought, her head was about to explode, but she still couldn't think of anything.

In the Taoist temple north of Liujia Village.

The middle-aged Taoist priest put three futons together and was reclining on them, barefoot, holding a big yellow pear in his hand, and when he swallowed it, it turned out to be juice.

I saw that he first held it and took a few bites, and then picked his own feet, with a satisfied expression on his face.

On the other side, the young boy is struggling to bring back buckets of water. Although this boy has also practiced martial arts since childhood, he is still young after all. He has carried more than a dozen buckets of water in a row. His little face is also tired at this moment. Bright red.

After the water tank outside was full, he walked in with an angry expression on his face, seeing his master enjoying himself so comfortably, and thinking about the effort he had put in just now, he suddenly became out of breath.

But before he could speak, the Taoist asked, "What's for lunch today?"

The boy almost exploded with anger at that time: "Eat shit!"

The Taoist ate the big pear in several mouthfuls, then shook the pear lightly, and went straight to the boy's face.

The little boy sneered, "Small tricks."

He twisted his body, and the fruit core was about to fly in front of him. Originally, he thought it was over like this, but when the fruit core slid past him, it suddenly exploded with a bang.

The remaining juice immediately splashed the child's face.

"Hmph, you still dare to fight with me!"
