Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 434 Arrival in Yangzhou

Two days later, outside Yangzhou County.

Jiang Chen rode a horse and came with 1,500 guards.

Originally Jiang Chen had two thousand guards, but in order to stabilize the situation in Jinling County, Jiang Chen left five hundred guards there!

As Jiang Chen's convoy arrived at the gate of Yangzhou County, a team of officials was already waiting there!

"Welcome to you, Lord Marquis!"

"Welcome Lord Jiang!"

Led by the Yangzhou County Magistrate, everyone rushed to Jiang Chen!

"Well, there's no need to be polite, my lords."

Jiang Chen dismounted from his horse and came before the officials of Yangzhou County.

"My Lord, you have finally come to our Yangzhou County!"

"My Lord, we have waited for you for too long!"

"Master Hou..."

When the officials of Yangzhou County saw Jiang Chen, they all couldn't help crying.

"What's...what happened to you?"

Jiang Chen looked at the officials with a puzzled look on his face.

"My Lord, you don't know that our life is so hard!"

The governor of Yangzhou came to Jiang Chen with a painful look on his face.

This is a frail man who looks to be around forty years old.

His face was full of pain at this moment.

"My Lord, among the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou is the worst hit!"

"If it was just the disaster, it would be fine. But with the Holy Mother Church causing trouble, we...we can't hold on any longer..."

The Yangzhou prefect said this with a painful look on his face.

Jiang Chen sighed helplessly when he heard this.

"This Lord knows your difficulties!"

"Do not worry!"

"This time, I have brought you a lot of food, enough for your disaster relief!"

"Starting tomorrow, you will start distributing porridge, and I will start investigating the Holy Mother Church!"

Jiang Chen said with a firm look on his face.

……

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

When the officials of Yangzhou County heard Jiang Chen's words, they all expressed their gratitude.

Led by the officials of Yangzhou County, Jiang Chen walked into Yangzhou City.

At this time, the city of Yangzhou was in chaos.

Not only were there groups of refugees, but even many buildings were hit!

When Jiang Chen saw this scene, his heart was filled with regret.

In his time, there was a beautiful story about fireworks in Yangzhou in March!

In this era, Yangzhou may not be the most beautiful place in Dajing, but it can still be ranked among the best.

But now, the Yangzhou County City has been destroyed like this!

This is such a pity!

"My Lord, there have been five civil riots in Yangzhou before you came."

"And each time, the scale is not small!"

"If the news about your governance of Jinling had not reached me, Yangzhou would probably be even more chaotic!"

The Yangzhou prefect said this with a helpless look on his face.

"Are you sure those who created the chaos are from the Holy Mother Church and no one else?" Jiang Chen frowned and asked the governor of Yangzhou.

When the Yangzhou prefect heard this, he was slightly startled.

"My Lord, we are sure it is the Holy Mother Church, but... there are also people involved who are taking advantage of the situation..."

"so……"

"Haha, I know."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

Then he said: "Starting tomorrow, Yangzhou County will begin to use work as relief!"

"All those who enter Yangzhou County for reconstruction work will be given enough food!"

"As long as the people are stable, it won't be of any use no matter how the Holy Mother Church tries to deceive people, right?"

"The Marquis is wise!"

The Yangzhou prefect said this with admiration.

"Well, here are the specific operating procedures for work-for-relief. Take it and do it well!"

"If you don't do it well, you know the consequences!"

Jiang Chen took out a booklet and handed it to the Yangzhou prefect, who hurriedly took it obediently.

……

After bidding farewell to the Yangzhou County Magistrate, Jiang Chen brought everyone to the residence arranged for them by the Yangzhou County Magistrate.

"My Lord, are you just going to hand this matter over to the governor of Yangzhou?"

"What if he has second thoughts?"

"There have been five civil riots in Yangzhou County, but he, the county governor, is fine. This... is enough to explain something!"

After arriving at the residence, Xu Meng said with a worried look on his face.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, we can't take it lightly!"

Han Peng also hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Haha, I know your concerns."

"However, Yangzhou County is different from Jinling County. If I start killing people in Yangzhou County, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

"So, we have to wait!"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

"wait!?"

Xu Meng and Han Peng were both stunned.

What are they waiting for?

"That's right, wait!"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said: "Now that we have come to Yangzhou County, there must be someone who is more anxious than us!"

"So... let's just wait!"

Jiang Chen believed that no matter it was the Holy Mother Church or the remnants of the previous dynasty, they would come looking for him!

Then, they can have a good talk!

Seeing how confident Jiang Chen was, Xu Meng and Han Peng didn't say anything else.

However, things turned out just as Jiang Chen thought.

Those people were really anxious!

The first ones to be anxious are the people of the Holy Mother Church!

"Master! What should we do now? Jiang Chen has arrived!"

"Yes, Master! Not only Jiang Chen has arrived!"

"He also brought a lot of food!"

"It seems they are still going to implement the work-for-relief policy. Now the people are running to their side. What should we do?"

"Master..."

……

Everyone in the Holy Mother Church was stunned!

This... this matter has turned out to be like this, what are they going to do now! ?

The people don't listen to them, and they have no other troops!

"Don't be anxious, Jiang Chen is a talented person, but we, the Holy Mother Church, are not to be trifled with!"

"I will definitely drive Jiang Chen out of Yangzhou County!"

"You all go back and stabilize your men first. Don't do anything rash for the next two days. Do you understand?"

The leader said calmly.

It seems that they are not worried at all about Jiang Chen's arrival!

"Yes!"

After hearing what the leader said, everyone could only leave helplessly.

After everyone left, the leader came to the backyard and found Miss Xuanxuan.

"Xuanxuan! Jinling County, what's going on?"

"Didn't you say you were sure that Jiang Chen would join our Holy Mother Church?!"

"Now...what is going on?!"

When the leader saw Miss Xuanxuan, he questioned her angrily!

"Master, this disciple deserves to die!"

"Disciple, I never thought that Jiang Chen was so powerful that he could actually get so much food!"

"Before, Jiang Chen and I made a bet that if he couldn't govern Jinling County, he would join the Holy Mother Church, otherwise..."

"On the contrary what!?"

The leader felt something was wrong and asked angrily!

"Otherwise, we...we will leave Jiangnan..." Miss Xuanxuan said fearfully.

"What!?"

When the leader heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over!

"Xuan Xuan, do you know how much trouble you have caused?!"

"If those captains knew about this, they would definitely kill you!"

"you you……"
