As soon as the news arrived, Liu Enfu and the others immediately stopped smiling and became extremely serious.
Then they ordered their subordinates to pay attention to maintaining order again, and then they all mounted their horses and rushed towards the dock.
In place, a large number of guards and soldiers stood firm at their posts, maintaining the strict style required by military discipline and distinguishing themselves from the surrounding people.
"His Royal Highness King Yong is coming, please don't lose etiquette while waiting!"
"His Highness is our great benefactor. In my whole life, I have only knelt before the sky and before my parents. I must kowtow to His Highness a few times today!"
"His Highness's great kindness cannot be repaid with just a few clicks of the head!"
While the people were talking about it, Liu Enfu and others had already rushed to the dock.
Standing on the pier, you can see Zhao Yanxun's fleet, which is at least two or three miles away from here, and it will take at least ten minutes to dock.
The three of them stood on the dock waiting, surrounded by soldiers responsible for guarding them.
Not far away, Zhao Yanxun had already put on his armor and was saying goodbye to his wives and concubines.
"It's a mess inside and outside the city. You'll be on the boat next. I'll come back tonight!"
But Huang Rongrong leaned on Zhao Yanxun and said coquettishly: "My lord, please come back soon, I am so scared to be alone!"
Zhao Yanxun pinched Huang Rongrong's face, and then said: "You are the most talkative!"
After talking to Xue Baoyun again, Zhao Yanxun turned around and left, walking straight down to the second floor.
Arriving at the forward deck, Zhao Yanxun looked at the three people on the pier in the distance. Their destination was about to arrive.
"Zhang Meng!"
"I'm here!"
"You will take someone to stay at the dock later and be responsible for protecting the three princesses!"
"As you command!"
Next, the ship's speed slowly decreased, and it finally docked under the operation of the boatman.
When Zhao Yanxun came this time, there were five large ships in total. Except for the one they took, the other large ships were all loaded with food.
This year's autumn harvest, Yuanyang City has harvested a large amount of grain, which can supply 100,000 people for a year without any problem.
Moreover, the amount of grain stored is still increasing, and soldiers scattered everywhere are still cleaning grain warehouses in villages and towns.
Those granaries built by big landowners have accumulated huge amounts of grain, and now they will all be confiscated by the palace.
At this stage only, the food problem has been solved.
As long as spring plowing continues next year, hunger will no longer happen.
The gangplank for disembarkation was lowered, and when Zhao Yanxun stepped off the ship, the three people on the dock immediately paid homage.
"Your Majesty Liu Enfu (Xu Hong, Wang Zong), come to see the prince!"
The guards guarding the side also knelt on one knee to salute, and Zhao Yanxun himself slowly walked onto the pier.
"Everyone is free of charge!"
With these words, everyone stood up from their low voices and stood on both sides of Zhao Yanxun with their waists bent.
"Liu Enfu, Wang Zong!"
After being called upon by Zhao Yanxun, the two men immediately replied: "I'm here!"
"Well done, thank you for your hard work!"
Although it was just a light word, it was Zhao Yanxun's affirmation of them, which made Liu Enfu and Liu Enfu extremely excited.
"Serving the prince is a blessing for both of you!"
Wang Zong couldn't say such words, so Zhao Yanxun glanced at Liu Enfu.
Zhao Yanxun smiled and said: "You can think like this, it is a blessing for the trapped people!"
"Let's go, don't waste time, go to Tongchang County to have a look!"
Someone had already brought the horse. After Zhao Yanxun got on the horse, the rest of the people followed him, and the accompanying guards could only run to keep up.
As he rode forward, Zhao Yanxun did not increase his speed. The guards only had to trot to keep up.
There was only a short distance from the pier to the edge of the city, and the group of people quickly arrived outside the city gate.
When the meeting was still dozens of meters away, people in the distance saw Zhao Yanxun's dragon flag and spontaneously knelt on the ground.
"Young man, I kowtow to the prince..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness..."
Among the crowd, people from Shuigou Village were prominently among them. Meng Hai, Mashan and others stood at the front and knelt down with the crowd to thank Zhao Yanxun for their kindness.
Soon, a large number of people knelt down outside the city gate, but the guards and soldiers did not move at all.
Zhao Yanxun approached on horseback, his eyes sweeping across the crowd, showing the unique kindness of a superior.
"No gifts, no gifts!"
The scene was extremely noisy at the moment, and Zhao Yanxun's voice was easily suppressed. Fortunately, there were guards helping to shout.
"Your Majesty, please excuse me. Get up, get up!"
After the guards shouted, the people stood up one after another and looked at Zhao Yanxun with eyes full of reverence.
After six months of despair, in the hearts of these rescued people, Zhao Yanxun was a living savior.
So much so that at this moment, someone in the crowd was already shouting slogans.
"Long live His Highness King Yong..."
Although Liu Enfu had been taught these slogans in advance, the people were shouting them sincerely at this moment.
They respect, appreciate, trust and surrender to Zhao Yanxun from the bottom of their hearts.
Amid cheers at the scene, Zhao Yanxun walked to the tower, with his people below.
"Your Majesty is speaking, be quiet, be quiet!"
Under the scolding of the guards, the crowd slowly calmed down, and everyone looked up at the tower.
"Everyone, I have made you suffer outside for more than half a year, and it is my fault that I have only rescued you now!"
Good guy, these words of Zhao Yanxun directly raised his personality to a higher level again.
On the spot, some people were so moved that they fell to the ground and knelt down to thank the prince for his great kindness. They were even moved to tears.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
These people couldn't say anything high-level. At this moment, they just kept shouting "Your Majesty" to express their gratitude.
"In the past six months, you have been suffering from monster attacks and lack of food and drink. Every time I think of... this king, I feel deeply ashamed!"
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun is just an actor, decorating his image of unparalleled benevolence and virtue.
"But from now on, you don't have to worry about these anymore. The palace will ensure your safety and let you live a stable life!"
"On the big boat behind, the new magistrate has arrived with food. You will never be short of food in the future!"
The new county magistrate of Tongchang was Zhang Zhiqi, and this time Cheng Wenguang's recommendation was finally adopted.
It can be said that every word Zhao Yanxun said directly touched the hearts of the people.
This is a prince who is benevolent, righteous and virtuous. How can they not follow such a person wholeheartedly?
Next, Zhao Yanxun said a lot more, using vernacular to outline a bright future for the people.
"Everyone, as the old saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later in life. As long as you unite closely around the palace, the palace will surely help you overcome all difficulties and create a beautiful life!"
"In a word, follow the palace and everything will be fine!"
The scene erupted in cheers again. To use an inappropriate way of describing it, these people in front of me were all brainwashed and deceived by him.
Seeing Zhao Yanxun finish speaking, Xu Hong, who was waiting on the side, immediately shouted: "Long live His Highness King Yong!"
Good guy, this shout directly set off the whole place. The people and soldiers were in a surging mood, and they just took advantage of this slogan to shout it out.
