The emperor faked his death? Never mind, I will ascend the throne directly!

The crowd was talking again. Some people felt that Feng Rusi's words were sincere and trustworthy, while others still had doubts and felt that the court's promises were unreliable.

"Commander Feng, how big should this house be? Can it accommodate several people in the family?"

A woman started asking more practical questions in a hoarse voice.

"Don't worry, Auntie. The size of the houses will be allocated according to the number of people in each household to ensure that every family can live comfortably."

Although there is no detailed policy to support it, Feng Rusi has some rough outline in his mind and explained it patiently.

"What about the arable land? Is there enough for farming?"

Another old farmer asked worriedly.

"The same goes for arable land. It will be allocated according to the number of people in each household to ensure that everyone has land to farm and food to eat."

Feng Rushi answered without any hesitation.

"What if the money from the court doesn't arrive in time?"

The strong man from before jumped out again and questioned.

Feng Rushi frowned slightly. It was obvious that this strong man was looking for trouble on purpose!

He suppressed his displeasure and patiently explained with the intention of understanding the difficulties faced by all the people.

"Big Brother, I will personally supervise the court's funding and will not delay everyone's resettlement."

"If the money from the imperial court doesn't arrive in time, I, Feng Rusi, will sell off my property and give everyone an explanation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd suddenly became quiet, and even the strong man was speechless.

"But even if the government allocates funds, this house won't be built in a short time. We can't sleep in the open air, right?"

Just when Feng Rushi thought the matter had been settled, another citizen started a rebellion.

Feng Rusi cursed the boy in his heart for being cunning, but he still said with a pleasant face: "This young man is right."

"It takes time for the court to allocate funds, and it also takes time to build houses."

"But don't worry, during this time, the court will arrange for everyone to live in temporary housing, and provide three meals a day. We will definitely not let anyone go hungry or cold."

"A temporary residence? What kind of place is that? It's not a dilapidated temple, is it?"

A sarcastic voice came from the crowd.

Feng Rushi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a skinny old woman looking at him with squinted eyes.

This old woman looks like a troublemaker, with a pair of sharp eyes.

Feng Rusi did not neglect it, "Of course it's not a dilapidated temple!"

"The court will requisition some vacant houses or build some temporary tents to ensure that everyone lives comfortably."

"Humph!"

The old woman snorted coldly, "Who knows what you're up to? What if you trick us into a remote mountain valley and never care about our lives again?"

Feng Rusi suppressed her anger and said, "Auntie, what you said is wrong."

"How could the imperial court do such a thing? We are sincerely concerned about the people and would never deceive anyone."

"That's right, how could the court lie to us?"

A middle-aged man stepped forward to defend Feng Rusi. "Admiral Feng has already promised. Besides, anyone who can promise to sell off his property is definitely not a corrupt official. We believe him!"

"Yes, we believe in Admiral Feng!"

Others echoed.

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Feng Rusi made the final decision, "Everyone go back and pack your things first. Once the imperial court's order comes, we will start moving."

The people gradually dispersed. Li Changqing then walked over to Feng Rusi, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Admiral Feng, you are really amazing. You sent these unruly people away with just a few words."

"Master Li, thank you for your praise. I have no other choice but to calm them down first."

"As for the imperial appropriation and house construction, I'll have to rely on you to take care of it."

Feng Rushi smiled bitterly and sighed as he watched the people leaving.

"Of course, I will do my best."

To be honest, Feng Rushi was also taking a gamble. He had not had time to report everything that had happened to Li Chengfeng. Not to mention the resettlement issue, Li Chengfeng still didn't know the policy on internal migration.

The letter was sent tonight, and Li Chengfeng would not receive it until ten days at the latest.

Therefore, the content of the report must be based on the achievement of phased results before it is worth disseminating the letter.

He was not worried that Li Chengfeng would punish him. The emperor was extremely wise and everything he did was for the country and the people. He would not oppose his plan.

He only needs to calculate the round-trip time and the content of the letter.

Feng Rushi's words were a desperate move, showing his full sincerity.

He returned to the study, closed the door tightly, and rubbed his sore temples.

Appeasing the people is more exhausting than fighting in the battlefield. Those unruly people are like locusts, and they can't wait to eat him alive.

He picked up the pen and quickly wrote down today's situation in the memorial. He chose words carefully and portrayed the relocation as a voluntary act of the people. He also vaguely mentioned the difficulties of resettlement and waited for Li Chengfeng to allocate funds.

After writing the memorial, Feng Rushi took out a specially made piece of letter paper, changed his pen style, and his tone became sharp.

"Your Majesty, I had no choice but to conceal the truth about the migration."

"The people along the coast often have family ties with the pirates. If the imperial court resorts to force, it could provoke a civil uprising."

"I have already promised to arrange resettlement. I hope Your Majesty will quickly prepare money and food to avoid any unforeseen circumstances..."

At this point in the letter, he paused and added, "I am not a coward, I just don't want to see people suffer."

"If Your Majesty insists on going to war, I will obey your orders and fight to the death!"

After finishing writing, he carefully rolled up the letter and stuffed it into a specially made bamboo tube. He then called his confidant and instructed, "Be sure to personally deliver this letter to His Majesty!"

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Shengjing, the sky was covered with wind and snow.

Heavy snow fluttered down, the sky and the earth were vast and desolate, and the cold wind was like a knife, blowing on the face and causing pain.

The cold in Shengjing is the kind that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, as if even breathing can freeze into ice.

Li Chengfeng was wrapped in a thick fox fur coat, but he still felt the cold.

He exhaled a breath of white air, watched it quickly dissipate in the air, and couldn't help but tighten his collar.

"He Sheng!"

Li Chengfeng shouted behind him.

When He Sheng heard Li Chengfeng calling, he immediately dismounted and ran a few steps to him, "I am here!"

"I see that the soldiers are freezing. Go get some silver charcoal and distribute it to them. Don't let my best soldiers and generals freeze to death."

He Sheng heard this and a look of gratitude appeared on his face. "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty! I will do it right away!"

He paused, then said with some concern, "But the quantity of silver charcoal is limited. It's for the soldiers. Your Majesty..."

Li Chengfeng waved his hand and said jokingly, "It's alright. I can't let the soldiers suffer. I can go get some from the princes."

He Sheng took the order and left. Li Chengfeng rubbed his frozen hands. Seeing this, Xiao Liuzi immediately handed him a hand warmer.

"Your Majesty, Shengjing is bitterly cold. You must take good care of yourself. If you get frozen, I will not be able to bear the consequences!"

Li Chengfeng took the hand warmer, and a warm current instantly spread throughout his body. He smiled and said, "My body is not that delicate, you don't need to be so nervous."

"Hehe, then the servant has to pay attention too."

Little Liuzi didn't try to persuade him any further. A serious expression appeared on his face. "By the way, Your Majesty, the princes are already waiting outside the tent. They said they are here to welcome you."

"Well, let's go and meet them."

Li Chengfeng stuffed the hand warmer into his sleeve and walked towards the big tent with Xiao Liuzi and Zhang Yuan.
