Chapter 856: Raised Fist (Thirty-Six)
Entering the city, the city was also full of kneeling people, and the cries of long live the snow long live long live were coming and going.
Liu Yong sat in the carriage, listening to it in his ears and moving in his heart. He was indeed moved. When a person can be so loved and adored, it is impossible not to move.
The carriage was unimpeded, for soldiers had already cleared the road. However, Liu Yong didn't let the carriage go too fast, and still walked slowly. It is not so much to accept the worship of the common people, but to give the common people the opportunity to worship.
For Liu Yong, who is in the current situation, giving the people the opportunity to pay homage to him is also a kind of love for the people.
Liu Yong opened the car window and waved to the people who worshiped him, and moved the people to tears.
The convoy still went to the state capital yamen first, and after the rule of the Tatars, some dilapidated state capital yamen was to be rebuilt. Comparatively speaking, Meizhou City is still very rich, because there is a sauce industry here, and the economy is recovering quickly. The finances of the state capital yamen have also become more prosperous.
For example, the repair of the yamen of the state capital is the use of financial silver. Of course, it was also a simple repair. There was no major construction. Liu Yong feels that such an operation is also possible. So, he didn't say anything about that. And the governor is very calm.
Sitting in the lobby of the state office, Liu Yong asked Lin Qingrou to take all the concubines to the Guozhang Mansion, and dinner was eaten at the Guozhang Mansion, which could be regarded as a reunion dinner. Liu Yong arranged it like this, firstly, because Lin Qingrou wanted to talk to her parents about herself. Second, there is no place to arrange so many wives for him in this state office. And it's not interesting in this state office.
Lin Qingrou immediately took the order to take her parents and two elders and took the sisters to the Lin couple's house. Liu Yong, on the other hand, wanted to talk to the officials here and ask about the situation.
When he learned in advance that the emperor was coming, the county magistrates of the four counties under the jurisdiction of Meizhou City also came to take over. At this time, the officials in the hall were almost all the officials of the sufficient level under the jurisdiction of the entire Meizhou City.
Liu Yong asked them all to sit down, which can be regarded as a special courtesy to the officials in his hometown. This made these officials very moved. According to common sense, they all have to stand.
Liu Yong asked about the situation of all walks of life in Meizhou City. Lin Hualang, as the uncle of the country and the president of the Meizhou Chamber of Commerce, is naturally among these officials, and he is sitting opposite the governor. Although this chairman's position is not as high as the governor's rank, his identity and status are much higher than that of the governor.
The state has departments that specialize in industry as well as various industries. These officials also came. For them, seeing the emperor's face in this life and this life can be regarded as death without regrets.
Needless to say, in terms of industry, Lin Hualang has already said almost the same. Needless to say, the agricultural side is still in the tax holiday period, and it is likely that it will be a permanent tax exemption.
Liu Yong also focused on business and trade. In fact, after entering the city, he began to observe, and while waving to the people, he also inspected the shops in the street market. Whether a city is prosperous or not depends only on the number of shops.
Along the way, it is indeed very prosperous, and none of the shops on the street are idle, and they are all doing this business. And it looks like business is doing well.
The official in charge of commerce gave a comprehensive introduction to the business situation of the entire Meizhou, all of which were illustrated by numbers. For example, the number of new shops and workshops, the number of new caravans, and so on, these figures intuitively illustrate the leapfrog development of Meizhou's commerce.
This made Liu Yong feel pleased, so he said with a smile: "Meizhou is my hometown, and you are officials here, you can make such achievements, and you don't disgrace my hometown!" ”
The governor said: "Your Majesty, Weichen and others know that this is Your Majesty's hometown, so they dare not slack off in the slightest. ”
"Okay, you go on like this, and manage my hometown better." Liu Yong said with a smile.
"It's Your Majesty, and the ministers have all remembered it." The Chinese officials said in unison.
Liu Yong asked again about public security and prisons, and the answer he received was that there had not been a single death penalty in the past two years. And because the people have food to eat, every household lives and works in peace and contentment, and there is no robbery, the current Meizhou City can be said to be unfounded, and the night is not closed.
"Okay, in this way, the people can live a stable life!" After listening to this, Liu Yong nodded and said with a smile.
Then, I asked some trivial things, such as housing prices, various prices, these are things that can reflect the lives of ordinary people.
As a result, prices are stable, and the price of silver is also stable.
Liu Yong nodded with satisfaction again. It seems that the current Meizhou City has completely got rid of the backwardness of the Tatar slave rule period and has returned to its former prosperity.
Speaking of prosperity, Liu Yong wanted to go to the plum blossom street to have a look. The last time I came, the previously bustling Plum Blossom Street was withered. Most of the shops are closed, and there are few pedestrians on the streets, making them look bleak and lonely.
However, what about a private interview in casual clothes? Or just go as an emperor? Last time it was a private visit to Weifu, so this time let's go openly! He made up his mind and thought about going after the ancestor worship was finished.
In fact, he didn't have to come to Meizhou City first, because his Liu family's ancestral tomb was in Qingshen County. The reason why he came to Meizhou City first was also to take Lin Qingrou into account. She misses her parents and doesn't want to delay for a while. Moreover, there are still five days before the time to worship the ancestors, and it is not a way to stay in Qingshen County all the time. So let's come to Meizhou City first. Lived in Meizhou City for three days, and then rebelled against the old house in Hekou Village, Qingshen County, until the time to worship the ancestors.
Of course, it will be very busy during the three days in Meizhou City. I had a reunion dinner with my family and I had to learn about the situation with officials at all levels. I also want to live in my own house and find some memories.
After the meeting of the officials, Liu Yong went to the mansion of the Lin family, who had already ordered the kitchen to cook. There are quite a few people at tonight's reunion dinner, hundreds of people, and more than a dozen tables of banquets will be set up.
There are not many cupboards in the house, so I have to go to the restaurant to ask for it. When those cupboards heard that they were going to cook for the emperor, they immediately became vibrant.
The Lin couple hadn't been so lively for a long time. Usually, Lin Hualang lives in the sauce shop. Occasionally, I come to visit the house and have a meal. Only during the New Year's festival will the son's family all come, and the house will be lively.
Fortunately, Lin Hualang usually sends his sons and daughters to his grandmother's house, and there is more laughter in the house.
Although the old couple's mansion is very luxurious, it is not very big, after all, as long as the old couple live, it is too big and useless, and it is more lonely.
