Chapter 256: A gentleman does not speak for profit

The city tower at the main gate of Zhaoming Palace is no different from those ancient city towers in the Ming style.

A simple hilltop, vermilion oak pillars (the tropics are too humid to use tropical moisture-proof wood, so the material is not like the north), and the invisible bulletproof glass between the vermilion oak columns, which has only been added in recent years.

To say that it is invisible, of course, it is impossible to be completely invisible. However, the crowd of people participating in the celebration in the square is at least 100 meters away from the city tower, and the bulletproof glass will definitely not be visible from such a distance, and the camera position for filming the documentary is behind the bulletproof glass, so the bulletproof glass will not be photographed. Everything is designed to be both accessible and safe.

At this moment, Zhu Youdong took the lead in stepping forward, patted the microphone, waited for a few seconds, and the square below gradually quieted down.

There were more than 100,000 onlookers today, but most of them were welcomed on the way here. The number of people who came to the square to watch the excitement and listen to the speeches was not more than 30,000 or 40,000, and order was barely easy to maintain.

On both sides of the city tower, two large projection screens were temporarily erected, like a concert to magnify the appearance of the speaker on the rostrum of the city tower - in 2001, there was no LED screen, and the most expensive plasma TV screen was some prototypes, but it was not too big, and the thickness of the large plasma screen was too cumbersome, so it was safe to choose the movie screen.

The audience in the venue could see Zhu Youdong's actions, and naturally they would cooperate and quiet down and no longer whisper. Otherwise, if he doesn't broadcast it, it will be useless for him to just shoot the people under the microphone and not be able to see it.

"Subjects...... On today's day of universal celebration......" Zhu Youdong said in a loud voice, first said a few words about the scene that the monarch should say, which means nothing more than to welcome everyone to come to the ceremony today, and hope that all the ministers and ordinary people can share the joy of the royal family together, and everyone will pray for the wedding of the county lord together.

The specific sentence structure will not be repeated, because it is too pedantic and crepe, and it belongs to the inevitable historical spectrum.

The life of the royal family requires a sense of ritual more than ordinary people.

Zhu Youdong's speech did not have much dry goods, but at the end of the stage, it also left a little room for the people to reverie, he said:

“…… Three years ago, more than 10 ASEAN countries were in turmoil and continuous decline in the financial crisis that swept through Southeast Asia.

Relying on the advantages of being a small country and a small country with a small population and being flexible, we turned a crisis into an opportunity, and once became the first Southeast Asian country to emerge from the financial crisis and seek development.

However, we must also realize that difficulties have always existed and that risks in the international situation have not been eliminated. The victory in 98-99 was partly due to the good news of overdrawing China's oil resources exploration in advance, and partly due to the new longboard of the international financial market, mainly the network telecommunications concept investment sector, and the sustenance of the Lantian sovereign investment fund.

Nowadays, with the uncertain outlook of international oil prices, the complete arrival of the Internet winter, the bottleneck of the economic development of China's tourism industry, and the historical repayment period of the overdraft of oilfield exploration dividends, the future economy of Lanfang must coexist with progress and challenges.

For the sake of all our people, the authorities will strive to introduce greater national investment in infrastructure construction, stimulate the economy and boost employment, further expand the scope of sharing of investment dividends, and strive to benefit the people in every type of job, which requires us to be more flexible, flexible and innovative in choosing infrastructure investment targets and methods. Reform and flexibility will certainly bring pains, and in order to achieve this goal, the royal family will also share the weal and woe of the people and lead by example. ”

When Zhu Youdong said this, he put down the microphone and waved his hand to the crowd, and all 40,000 people in the square shouted some slogans expressing their love from the bottom of their hearts.

The conscience of heaven and earth, although the Lanfang royal family is very rich, and in the early years, they also relied on the people's tax burden to feed, but in recent years, it really has nothing to say, it is to bring all the people to improve their living standards. Six or seven years ago, everyone in this country was still fishermen, and there was not much welfare in history since ancient times.

Now I don't need money to go to junior high school, and during the economic crisis, I gave a large group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who were unable to work on foreign medical pension insurance (at that time, I was not in the country, and I was not allowed to retain my nationality in order to deceive people into losing my nationality, purely because there was almost no financial industry in Lanzhou at that time, so there was no domestic insurance company. At present, the only insurance company in Lanfang was only prepared to be established after the crisis of 98, and it has been in business for less than two years).

Therefore, the common people think that the royal family is good, and it is indeed from the heart, and most of the people with this level of income have a little conscience and are grateful. Regarding Zhu Youdong's speech, their gratitude and love are not half false.

The only point that may make the people feel that the royal family is unevenly divided may be "Lanfang discovered oil", and everyone will feel that part of the country's oil field income should have been shared by the people.

However, this point is not too strong in the Lan side, because the law of the Lan side stipulates that the ownership of mineral deposits follows the ownership of land, and those shallow sea exclusive economic zones where oil fields were discovered, and the islands along its coast were not ordinary people, and even Gu Kun spent money to buy those desert islands that seemed to have no resources and development value at that time in order to increase national finances and relieve the people.

If the rest of you were willing to destroy your family and relieve the hardships at that time, you could also buy those desert islands! Why don't you buy them? Therefore, after Gu Kun bought the islands, the foolish people had the good fortune to find that there were oil fields in the open sea of those islands, which were also the destiny of heaven, and they could not be envied, and ordinary citizens were willing to accept defeat.

And the most important reason for "making the people happy and convinced, and not yet giving birth to jealousy and resentment towards the royal family and Gu Kun", is that the oil field has not yet been put into production.

The so-called good news of the oil field, that is, the mortgage of the loan, everyone has not seen the real oil sales revenue, and it does not have such an intuitive impact on ordinary people.

Most of the civilians who have little education have a relatively vague understanding of the interests of finance and options, and the way of pumping a barrel of oil and selling a barrel of oil to collect a barrel of money is in line with the intuitive cognition of the Xiaobai people.

But this is also the reason why Gu Kun must choose to decide this year to plan for the renovation of the old city, the demolition plan, and the improvement of the city's appearance across the country. He just wanted to get this done before the oil wells really produced oil and the hundreds of thousands of tons of oil tankers on the Lanfang Port wharf in the future continued to come and go, forming a major visual impact on the whole people.

The visual impact of hundreds of thousands of tons of large oil tankers on ordinary people is very strong. If you tell him about the output, they may have no idea, and their minds can't turn around all of a sudden, "How much money does Boss Gu make from this?" But if a fisherman, even just a child, wanders around the dock in the evening and sees hundreds of thousands of tons of ships loaded with free resources, it is easy for them to develop jealousy and envy.

In such a harmonious and loving atmosphere, it is easy for Gu Kun to develop emotions when he takes over the baton.

He elegantly stood on the position where Zhu Youdong had just spoken and adjusted the microphone. On the big screen, his movements were also fed back in real time - Gu Kun suddenly raised the fixed position of the microphone by more than ten centimeters, and then began to speak. This also invisibly made the people pay attention to a detail, that is, Gu Kun, who is more than 1.85 meters, is much taller and majestic than the older generation of monarchs.

Then, Gu Kun began to tell the story that he was not a monarch, so he didn't need to pay too much attention to etiquette and rituals when he spoke, and he could be more close to the people.

He first said a few words that were easy and close to the people, and then began to dig a pit:

“…… Since ancient times, our Lanfang has been the crown of Chinese clothing, Chinese language and Han unity, and the fine tradition of the Chinese nation must be inherited. In recent years, with the explosive development of our tourism industry, I believe that most people are no longer strangers to visitors from afar who have the same language and species in the north.

But I still want to talk about the cultural customs of northerners - in mainland China, in recent years, young people in first- and second-tier cities, when they get married, there is a new custom, that is, the mother-in-law will ask the son-in-law to leave the house.

I won't comment on whether this new custom and tradition is good or not, but since I have the honor to marry the lord of Youran County today, it seems that I should not lose the dignity of the royal family. So I would like to take this opportunity to give the Grand Duke and the Princess a gift – I am willing to spend a billion dollars to rebuild a new palace on another site and give it to the royal family.

At the same time, I also implore the Grand Duke to set an example for all the people, make a little sacrifice for the transformation of the cityscape and the improvement of the tourist landscape of the whole country to be promoted in the future, and donate the existing Zhaoming Palace within a certain period of time, and build a museum that highlights the historical and cultural traditions since the Ming Dynasty in imitation of other countries and regions in the Chinese cultural circle.

Of course, what the royal family needs to donate is the palace itself, which will be used as a cultural relics protection unit in the future, and I will find ways to collect and donate the collection from various international countries to the country through various channels. ”

"The royal family took the lead in donating the palace? Gu Kun contributed money for the construction of the new palace of the royal family, and by the way, it was considered to have completed the cultural custom of 'the mother-in-law asked her son-in-law for a house'? This decision is quite funny, and it looks so close to the people. ”

The 40,000 onlookers in the square whispered for a while, some loved and admired, but more of them were the gossip excitement of eating big melons.

It's a bit similar to "I usually don't feel close to the people when I hear some witty words, but if I see Mr. Zhu playing single and double betting and saying witty things on CCTV news, I will feel very close to the people".

The same words, from the mouth of a person on high, then it is close to the people.

"Accept Gu Ye's kindness!"

"Accept Boss Gu's kindness!"

"The royal family should take the lead and accept the demolition!"

"That is, if the royal family takes the lead, they are willing to move out of the best place in the current area and find another land to build a new palace. Then our broken house is nothing to be sorry for. As long as the compensation is in place, the area of the new house, and the quality of the construction are obviously higher than the old house, we are willing to demolish and relocate, and we will contribute to the country!"

If the lot is demolished to the suburbs, what is the use of being just bigger than the current house? If I want to say, at least three times the floor area! The quality of the house should be very good! With an elevator and a garden! I will hand over the land that I am currently on. ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Just your broken house, and the lot of land is worth a little money. Someone will trade three times the size of your building for your timber-framed water house? Dream on you!"

The crowd in the square could no longer suppress the enthusiasm for discussion, and began to become chaotic, all discussing whether and how to respond to Gu Ye's demolition motion.
