Yang Chengye took Shen Fu riding horseback through a shortcut back to Gangzi Village at the Shen's home.
At this time, outside Gangzi Village, simple houses were built along the forest, and all refugees had been properly settled. With porridge sheds, refugees would not go hungry, and those who suffered from heatstroke were recovering after drinking Ephedra Refreshing Drink.
Yang Chengye saw everything going on in an orderly manner and was very satisfied with Shen You's handling efficiency.
Seeing Yang Chengye return, Shen You hastily went up to meet him, holding Shen Fu in his arms, and said to Yang Chengye: "Second brother, the refugees have been temporarily settled, but our food can only last for three days at most. After three days, I'm afraid...
Yang Chengye nodded and said: "Three days will be enough, someone will send food at that time."
After hearing Yang Chengye say this, Shen Youcai finally put his mind at ease and continued to ask: "Second brother, the prescription you gave is really too effective, many sick refugees drank it and got better, it's truly amazing!"
"Can I give the prescription to my brother?"
Yang Chengye smiled and said: "Big brother wants whatever he wants, we brothers don't have to be so polite."
Upon hearing this, Shen You smiled and said: "Alright then, I'll keep this prescription."
After returning to the Shen family home, Yang Chengye took a bath and changed into a fresh set of clothes.
It's been some days since I came to this era, and I'm still not used to wearing ancient costumes. I think modern clothes are more convenient.
At this time, Yang Chengye was wearing the big vest and big pants he made himself, eating the big watermelon picked up from the well, it was extremely comfortable.
Yang Chengye was eating watermelon while flipping through a thread-bound edition of "Nine Yin Scripture".
The lower volume of "Jiuyin Zhenjing" has 15 chapters, and Yang Chengye relied on his amazing memory to memorize the content of all 15 chapters.
Yang Chengye first practiced the Yi Jin Jing, according to the records above, after mastering it, his power would progress rapidly. However, Yang Chengye had only the power imparted by Huang Zongxiang, but he couldn't use it for himself. The key was that his body's tendons and bones were too weak, unable to withstand the enormous pressure of those powers.
Now that he has the Easy Muscle and Bone Tempering Chapter, Yang Chen Ye can temper his tendons and bones, allowing him to absorb more of the power within his body.
"People only know that sitting quietly and thinking can advance one's virtues, but they do not realize that superior scholars are all-embracing and wise, cultivating both body and function, moving yet still, disturbed yet peaceful..."
Yang Chengye practiced the Easy Calf Bone Article's oral formula repeatedly, and a thread of energy emerged from his dantian, entering his bones and meridians, strengthening them bit by bit.
On the other hand, Zhang Jun and his entourage galloped swiftly to Jiaxing City, covering a seven-day journey in just three days without even stopping at the post stations.
At this time, Zhang Jun was thinking of doing a good job on the assessment task given to him by Lao Shen Xian, in order for Lao Shen Xian to accept him as his apprentice early and learn the art of longevity.
Zhang Jun's move caught Wang An off guard, and the station didn't even have time to report back to him before Zhang Jun had already arrived at Jiaxing City, where Wang An hastily went to greet him.
In these three days, Wang An handed over the work of setting up tents, houses and distributing porridge to Shi Ye and Zhao Huo Tou, while he himself went around the streets and alleys searching for antiques and calligraphy paintings.
The teacher and Zhao Daotou went from door to door to find those rural gentry, wealthy households, and merchants to urge them to pay the donated money and grain.
Those merchants were easy to deal with, and they all handed over the money and grain as reported. The rich households, however, dragged their feet, and it took Master Shi and Captain Zhao two days to collect everything, leaving both of them exhausted and with aching legs.
Due to the surrender of rice and grain, the price of rice in Jiaxing City's grain stores has continued to rise, causing residents to complain.
Zhang Jun arrived at the outskirts of Jiaxing City and saw that it was desolate and boundless, without a single refugee in sight, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Your subordinate, Jiaxing Prefect Wang An, leads the crowd in paying respects to Your Excellency."
Wang An led all the magistrates of Jiaxing Prefecture and local gentry, totaling several hundred people, to stand outside the city gate to welcome Zhang Jun and his entourage.
"Your Honor, I have arranged a banquet at the prefecture to welcome you and refresh your journey."
Wang An ran up to Zhang Junma with a smile and said.
Zhang Jun looked around and frowned: "Where are the refugees? Why can't I see them?"
"This………"
Zhang Jun's words instantly left Wang An speechless.
Yes, what about the refugees? Where did they go?
Wang An's face turned gloomy as he looked at his teacher, who lowered his head and stared at his toes, not daring to look up.
At this time, Zhao Tou came to Wang An's side and whispered a few words in his ear. After that, Wang An said to Zhang Jun: "Report to the imperial envoy, the refugees have already arrived at Gangzi Village more than ten miles away, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Jiaxing City tomorrow."
"It would be better for you to enter the city and rest first, as soon as there is any news, I will inform you at the first time."
Zhang Jun nodded after a moment of hesitation: "Alright, it's just as well that I'm also feeling a bit tired."
Upon hearing this, Wang An was overjoyed and personally led Zhang Jun's horse into Jiaxing City.
That night, Zhang Jun was arranged by Wang An to stay in the prefectural government office and a dinner party was held at the prefectural government office to welcome Zhang Jun.
A sumptuous feast, with both host and guests enjoying themselves to the fullest. Especially the fine wine presented by Wang An made Zhang Jun praise it repeatedly, saying that this was the best wine he had ever tasted in his life, almost comparable to the heavenly nectar.
Wang An personally supported Zhang Jun, who was slightly drunk, back to the bedroom. When Zhang Jun saw the scene in the bedroom, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Only in the bedroom were placed exquisite jade artifacts and antiques, each one worth a fortune.
Zhang Jun picked up those jade utensils and gently stroked them, making him reluctant to let go.
"Sir, these are all prepared by your humble servant for you, can they meet with your approval?"
Wang An followed Zhang Jun and said with a flattering tone.
Hehe
Zhang Jun stroked the jade and smiled: "Governor Wang has a heart!"
Seeing Zhang Jun accept his gift, Wang An's heart finally put down, at this time, a figure flashed by the door.
"The old man is tired from traveling, so he should rest early, and I won't disturb him!"
Wang An slowly backed out and closed the door behind him.
Outside the door, Wang An arrived at a hidden place, and Zhao caught his head from a dark place: "Sir!"
"Wang An asked: 'How did things go?'"
"Already done," Zhao said in a low voice. "Shen You will follow your orders tomorrow, only...".
Wang An nodded and said, "But what?"
"Captain Zhao replied: 'The Shen family has taken out all their stored grain, which is only enough to last until tomorrow. They hope that you can transport the grain over as soon as possible.'"
"Good."
Wang An nodded and said: "Zhao, you must transport the grain to the Shen family overnight. Absolutely no accidents can happen."
Zhao Captured Head responded with a sound and left the government office.
After Wang An left, Zhang Jun put down the jade utensils in his hand and muttered: "Wang An, oh Wang An, I originally just wanted to let you lose your official position, but I didn't expect you to bring so many treasures. It seems that you can't stay."
Zhang Jun and Wang An each had their own ulterior motives, calculating against each other, while the Shen family was still in a state of busy confusion.
Wu Nai did not disappoint everyone's expectations and purchased all the medicinal materials Yang Chengye needed, filling two carts to the brim.
"Sir, something is amiss."
Fu Bo came up behind Shen You who was counting medicine and said.
Upon hearing this, Shen You hastily put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and turned around to ask: "What happened?"
