In the middle of July, Shen Zhezi led the crowd back to the capital, and the people who came to greet him in the capital lined up in a long line, stretching from the East Fence Gate to Qingxi.

The news of the reconquest from Gyeonggi spread, and Su Jun was defeated by the Jingzhou army at Guyi, and the people who had been scattered in the left county to escape the military disaster returned to the capital one after another, and the healthy city gradually gained popularity, and it was no longer as depressed as when it was just recovered.

Shen Zhezi's departure from the capital this time can be regarded as another innovation in a sense, defeating the last hidden rebel army in Jiankang's vicinity. Although Shen Zhezi didn't see ** at all, someone must lead this matter.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi is really a well-deserved meritorious body now, and this time he led the crowd to return to the capital, which naturally aroused onlookers. But the people who came to greet him were not all because of his merits, like the family members of those criminals who had communicated with Ji You earlier, they also came out of the city to greet him today, wanting to see Shen Zhezi's true attitude.

But more people came to greet him, mainly because of the presence of another person, that is, Director Wang.

It is true that Shen Zhezi is now a great merit and is hot, but he is a junior after all. And Director Wang has long been recognized as the first person in the north and south in the world, and he actually went out of the city to greet Shen Zhezi in person, and the courtesy is so generous, which is really amazing. Especially for those who were not trapped in Taicheng earlier and recently returned to the capital, this is tantamount to a sign of a change in wind direction, and it is even more difficult for Shen Zhezi to slack off.

Shen Zhezi didn't expect that Director Wang would actually go out of the city to greet him in person, and to be honest, he did feel flattered in his heart. With Wang Dao's fame and status at this moment, not to mention that Shen Zhezi is just making meritorious contributions, even if he usurps the throne and stands on his own, Wang Dao has enough confidence to remain detached.

"He Lao Taibao greeted him in person, the younger generation was really frightened, and he deserved it!"

Shen Zhezi left the team and hurried to Wang Dao to bow down, not that he was pretending to be a gesture, not to mention how he evaluated Wang Dao in his heart, he really did not have the qualifications to be arrogant in front of him.

"The horses went into battle to fight against the rebels, and they performed great deeds. The old and decrepit people are ashamed not to go to the battlefield in person, and the king returned triumphantly, and he should come to greet him! ”

Director Wang smiled and bent down to help Shen Zhezi up, the sincere and unfake look of appreciation on his face was seen in the eyes, and he couldn't help but be even more surprised, and even some imaginatives imagined, could it be that the Shen family had reached an agreement with the Wang family?

Seeing Director Wang treating him so politely, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sigh that ordinary people may say that politics is dirty and has no bottom line, but in fact, politicians are not thick enough to be competent, more often they actually need to be more tolerant and abandon personal emotional factors to make favorable choices.

After Director Wang, more people stepped forward to say a few words to Shen Zhezi. Then Director Wang took Shen Zhezi's hand and said with a smile: "The horse travel is hard, it is better to return to the capital first for a little rest." ”

When the others heard this, they didn't want to step forward to bother Shen Zhezi anymore, and watched as the young man was pulled by Director Wang and boarded the ox cart.

"Wei Zhou's ......"

Director Wang paused, looked at Shen Zhezi and smiled: "Would you like to hear me say that?" ”

Shen Zhezi hurriedly said: "The juniors are honored. ”

"Well, what Wei Zhou did in Qu'a this time can really be described as a state! I know that there are many things involved in this matter, if Wei Zhou has any difficulties, you can say to me directly, and I will share it for you! ”

Speaking of this, Director Wang's eyes were full of energy, and his appreciation for Shen Zhezi was even more undisguised.

If Director Wang's attitude towards Shen Zhezi earlier was not lacking in seriousness, it was more about vigilance and vigilance. But this time Shen Zhezi's approach in Qu'a made Director Wang feel bright, and even impressed.

In the past, in Director Wang's view, although there was no lack of scheming and martial arts, there were also common problems among young people, young and vigorous, unrestrained, and overly tough attitude. Such a personality is not a bad thing for a young man, but it can be a blessing or a curse if the young man suddenly has an important place in the situation. So some time ago, Director Wang tried his best to maintain it carefully, and even did not hesitate to make concessions when necessary, just because he was worried that young people would lose their trade-offs and do something wrong on impulse.

But this time, Shen Zhezi asked himself about the arrangements made by those guards in Qu'a, even if Wang Dao faced this problem himself, he couldn't do it better than Shen Zhezi. And this young man did not get carried away because of the big victory, but instead looked beyond his eyes and saw the holes in the defense of the imperial court in Jiangbei.

This layer of hidden worries, but even Director Wang himself is not aware of it, or even if he is aware of it, he does not have the energy and plan to make a suitable arrangement. After all, his most important task at the moment is to settle the villagers around Jiankang and calm down the situation as soon as possible.

"Don't hide it from the Taibao, the younger generation really can't wait to kill this group of murderers! The Taibao did not see it in person, and it is hard to imagine what heinous evil deeds this group of murderers committed! But enough people have died......"

Shen Zhezi's tone was not lacking.

"The corpses are all over the field, the bones are full of ditches, I also saw it in person when I came south, it is really heartbreaking! Wei Zhou's words are good, enough people have died. In the past few days, the people of Jiankang Township have been resettled, and the rest are two or three out of ten, and the number of victims of Ding Zhuang is unknown. This is not as simple as a human life! ”

When Director Wang said this, the usual calmness on his face was also covered by sadness, but Jiankang's current financial situation is more serious than he imagined.

Shen Zhezi was also silent after hearing this, although his family rose through this war, and he also relied on it to create great achievements, but to be honest, he still has an instinctive aversion to war, especially this kind of war that has no meaning but is unavoidable.

"There's something I'd like to ask Wei Zhou."

After a moment of silence, Director Wang suddenly spoke again.

"Taibao, please speak."

Shen Zhezi hurriedly said.

"I would like to ask Ding to move the people of Jingkou to fill the Jinggi people, does Wei Zhou think it is feasible?"

When Shen Zhezi heard this question, he couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Director Wang to discuss such a big matter with him. Not to mention that he is not qualified to discuss things of this level at all, and even if he does, he has no position to discuss it with Director Wang.

He subconsciously looked at Director Wang, but the other party just looked at him with an inquiring gaze, and there was no temptation.

After pondering for a long time, Shen Zhezi said slowly: "The younger generation doesn't think it's necessary, it is true that there are many people in Jingkou, and it is also a fact that Jiankang is empty at the moment. However, the villagers' hearts must not be worried, the north and the south are mixed, there are many grievances, and the slightest carelessness may cause a catastrophe. Moreover, the migration and resettlement of displaced people consumes a lot, and the current material resources may not be enough! ”

"It's because I'm short-sighted and impatient, it's just that there is no need to discuss this matter."

After Director Wang heard this, his face couldn't help but show a little disappointment, but he didn't insist on his thoughts anymore, it seemed that he really just asked casually.

Shen Zhezi believes that Director Wang will not fail to understand the basis of his own family and the Yu family's business in Jingkou. Moreover, even without these, Jingkou is not the sphere of influence of Qingxu Gaomen. It is true that Jingkou is close to Xuzhou, Huaibei, but the Gaomen in the Qingxu Overseas Chinese Gate has a foothold in Jiankang at the beginning of the river and has not operated in Jingkou.

Director Wang's proposal may really just be considered for the purpose of enriching Gyeonggi. If Shen Zhezi agrees and promotes, he can take advantage of the situation to extend Jingkou's operation to Jiankang. But the chaos between the people of the north and south villagers has to be considered, if they are ignored, the small people can also breed chaos.

Besides, it's not that Jiankang is unmanned, it's just that it's not easy to find out. Every time there is a war, it is the time when the big families wantonly recruit the shadow population. This phenomenon is that good or evil is not judged favorably, and the court is unable to shelter the people in times of war, and the great clans have undertaken this obligation, but since then this part of the people is no longer in the hands of the court.

There are also reasons why the imperial court's policy of land determination is mixed. The big clan made efforts to protect the next part of the people, and turned to the imperial court to use a decree to nationalize it, which to a certain extent is akin to playing hooligans.

It is impossible for Director Wang to support Tu Xuan, which should also be one of his bottom lines. Therefore, he would rather move to relocate the displaced people in Jingkou than compete with the big clans for people.

"By the way, Wei Zhou knows how the battle is going in the south?"

Skipping this section, Director Wang asked again.

Shen Zhezi nodded: "The envoy of the king of Wu County has already broken Han Huang, and the remnants of Han Huang fled to the point where they were captured by the Dongyang army. Su Jun's traces have also been discovered, and the Zhulu army is encircling and suppressing in Xuancheng, and it should be not far from defeat. ”

"That's good, Jiangdong is finally going to be at peace again. It seems that it is time to invite Tao Gong into the city and discuss how to go to Xingtai to meet him. ”

When Director Wang heard this, his expression became invigorated, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood. He rolled his eyes and looked at Shen Zhezi again: "The war is about to be decided, where should Wei Zhou plan to go in the future?" ”

Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, Director Wang actually cared about his future. However, Shen Zhezi also knew that at present, his independent leader was only an expedient measure in wartime, and he would inevitably be abolished afterwards.

"The younger generation is still young, and the township discussion has not yet entered. This time, I was anxious for the national disaster and had to be cheeky and disposed of, and afterwards I was sealed and returned to my hometown. ”

"Wei Zhou doesn't think so, you have a lot of talent, if you return home, it will be a dereliction of duty for the third duke! I intend to invite Wei Zhou to join the Taibao Mansion as a post, I don't know what Wei Zhou thinks of you? ”

Seeing Shen Zhezi open his mouth to speak, Director Wang smiled again: "This matter is indeed difficult to decide for a while, Wei Zhou, you don't have to rush to answer me, keep it in mind, it's not too late for me to come back after thinking about it." ”
