Chapter 1271: The Headlight Festival

Time does not stop because of someone or something, it always passes in an orderly manner, and in this small dispute, the Mid-Autumn Festival has quietly arrived.

Every family hung up festive red lanterns and prepared a sumptuous dinner, already preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The drum tower is the time-telling building of this era, and it is also the most important source for the people to obtain the time.

Because of its obvious landmark role, it is easy to become a market in the area here, and it is the most lively place in the north of the city and even in the whole of Beijing. Many people may not know where the Shuntian Mansion is, but if he doesn't even know where the drum tower is, he must be deaf.

At noon, restrictions were put in place and no one was allowed to enter the place.

The servants of the Shuncheon Prefecture were all dispatched, and the merchants could no longer continue to mess around, but placed their stalls in fixed positions in a neat and orderly manner, and hung a special festive lantern.

Although some merchants complained, more merchants still obediently cooperated, after all, these things had already been properly communicated. As for those merchants who had not registered in advance, they were directly asked to leave here, and everything here was under the jurisdiction of the Shuncheon Prefecture.

Soon, there were no traces of the people on the streets here, only neat stalls.

It wasn't until the afternoon that several official sedan chairs suddenly arrived here together.

Lin Haoran, who was dressed as a scholar, took a sedan chair to the front of the drum tower, and behind him was followed by many subordinate officials of the Shuntian Mansion, and almost all the officials of the Shuntian Mansion gathered here.

"Lord Fu Yin, is this really possible?"

Li Tong got off the sedan chair and gathered to Lin Haoran, but he looked at the empty street but was worried.

Lei Tongju and the others also turned their heads to look at Lin Haoran, although the headlight festival has not officially started, but they have no bottom in their hearts about what will happen next.

Especially this time, Lin Haoran used as much as 1,000 taels from the treasury to buy fireworks, which was undoubtedly an adventure. If things don't go as expected, I'm afraid there will be a political risk.

"This thing can definitely be done, and if it doesn't work, it will be done!" Lin Haoran looked at the empty street in front of him and said very firmly.

Lei Tongju and the others exchanged glances, although they felt Lin Haoran's firm dedication to success, but there were inevitably some hidden worries in their hearts.

At this moment, there was movement behind him.

Lei Tongju and the others were puzzled, and they all turned their heads to look at the fallen official sedan chair, but they didn't know who had arrived here.

"Lin Fuyin, don't come unharmed!"

Xu Fan walked out of the sedan chair, but greeted with a smile.

Hey?

When Lei Tongju and the others saw Xu Fan appear, their brows couldn't help frowning slightly, the other party was obviously not good. After all, everyone knows that there is already a gap between their Fu Yin and the Xu family.

"I've seen Lin Fuyin!"

Chen Jinian, the deputy capital of the left, followed behind Xu Fan, and greeted him with a smile.

"Xu Shaoqing, Chen Yushi, why do you two have time to get here?" Lin Haoran watched Xu Fan and Chen Ji appear here, and bowed his hand as usual.

Although Chen Jinian is the left deputy capital of Zheng Sanpin, he is willing to succumb to Xu Fan. Xu Fan looked at the empty street in front of him, and said gloatingly: "Ben Shaoqing heard that Lin Fuyin was holding a lantern festival here, and he didn't borrow a thousand taels to buy fireworks, so he came over to take a look!" ”

Lin Haoran immediately understood that Xu Fan wanted to come over to see his jokes, but he raised his hand and said with a smile: "Since Xu Shaoqing is so Yaxing, and the time has come, let's go upstairs and have a look!" ”

"Very good!" Xu Fan looked at Lin Haoran with a smile, and he was already sure that Lin Haoran was going to fight.

Although he heard that Lin Haoran was very smart, he had the ability to turn stones into gold. It's just that I heard that he used 1,000 taels to buy fireworks in order to operate the headlights, and while feeling incredible, he also faintly found an opportunity to step on Lin Haoran.

That's right, he didn't plan to admire the moon at home, but came to the north of the city to watch how Lin Haoran burned a thousand taels, and then how to explain this improper move to the imperial court.

The group had their own thoughts, and soon came to the drum tower.

Lin Haoran led the officials to a condescending position, and it was easy to get a clear view of the streets below. Although soon the merchants were still busy, several streets were empty, and it looked so depressed.

"Lin Fuyin, the scenery here is not bad!"

Xu Fan stood on the drum tower and enjoyed the scenery with his hands. Looking at the empty streets, he felt indescribably comfortable in his heart, and he liked to watch this scene of thunder and rain.

"If Xu Shaoqing likes it here, he will come over more in the future!" Lin Haoran replied with a smile.

Xu Fan glanced at Lin Haoran contemptuously, but there was a sneer in his heart. When he saw this scene, although he didn't know what medicine Lin Haoran was selling in his gourd, he would inevitably plant it in this huge headlight today.

"Lord Fu Yin, the time has come!"

After a while, Zhang Zhutou came to him and saluted respectfully.

Lin Haoran's eyes fell on the street under the sunset, and he immediately gave a loud order: "Beat the drum."

Lin Haoran is a marketing background, and now he regards this event as a marketing plan. Whether it is the publicity of the headlight festival or the gimmick of the headlight fair, these factors have been taken into account by him.

The situation in the capital is different from that of Leizhou and Guangzhou, where there is no shortage of silver taels, but what is lacking is mobility.

Say, a lazy day in a hot town. The sun is high, the streets are empty, everyone is in debt, and they live on credit.

At this time, a wealthy traveler came from out of town, he entered a hotel, took out a 1,000 yuan bill and put it on the counter, saying that he wanted to look at the room first and choose a suitable room for the night.

Just as the man was going upstairs, the shopkeeper grabbed the 1,000 yuan bill and ran to the butcher next door to pay the meat money he owed.

The butcher had 1,000 yuan and crossed the road to pay off the pig farmer's pig capital. The pig farmer took 1,000 yuan and went out to pay the feed money he owed. The old man who sold fodder got 1,000 yuan and hurried to pay off the money he had paid for the prostitute. With $1,000, the prostitute rushed to the hotel and paid what she owed. The innkeeper hurriedly put the 1,000 yuan on the counter to avoid suspicion when travelers went downstairs. At this time, the man was coming downstairs, picked up 1,000 yuan, claimed that there was no one satisfied, he put the money in his pocket, and left......

On this day, no one produced anything, and no one got anything, but the debts of the whole town were paid off, and everyone was happy.

After Lin Haoran learned about the situation in Beijing City, he knew that if he wanted to increase the happiness of the people in Beijing City as soon as possible, that was to find a way to make the silver flow here.
