Chapter 121: Return to Fuyi
Yu laughed and said, "Childe forgot the land he photographed at the beginning?" ”
Liu Yong understood a little, and said in surprise: "Could it be ......" It turned out that Liu Yong's planning had centered on the Yueming Lake Wetland Park to build and promote a high-end leisure residential community along the lake. It is a pity that at that time www.biquge.info it was still a barren place far from the county seat, and there were no roads to connect it, especially when the situation was unclear, and the wealthy merchants were troubled by the desire for profit, and no one appreciated Liu Yong's full of expectations and disgusting work. Liu Yong was indignant and bought more than 100 acres out of his own pocket. He was just angry at the time, but he didn't expect Yu Fu to build a mansion for himself.
"It's going to cost a lot of money. This is the hard-earned money of the righteous people. Liu Yong said with some blame.
Yu said with a smile: "The son loves the people like a son, Yu Fu doesn't know." Childe, please relax, it didn't cost the county a penny to build this house, it was all your own money. ”
"My own money?" Liu Yong didn't understand it even more.
Gan Ning smiled on the side: "Childe doesn't know. Since the completion of the park, Yu Gong moved the government office to that side, and now there are post houses, sports grounds, markets, flower markets, etc., and the price of the land has risen tenfold, making those who did not buy it jaw-dropping and regretful. The land over there is too big, we sold half of it on our own initiative, and there is still a lot of surplus after repairing the Taishou Mansion. ”
Liu Yong was pleasantly surprised and said, "Has the city developed to that point?" ”
"yes." Wei Yan also said, "When Duke Yu asked me and Gandu Governor to build a mansion over there, we all thought it was remote, and it was only because Gongzi and Duke Yu were there that we were very reluctant to build it. Unexpectedly, in just over a year, it has become the most prosperous place in the plains. In the final analysis, we are all stained with the luxury of a son. ”
Everyone looked at each other and laughed, and Liu Yong asked again: "How many people are there in Luoyuan now?" ”
Yu said with a smile: "With the center of Fuyi, plus several small cities around it, there are more than 40,000 households and more than 270,000 people. ”
Liu Yong gasped and said in surprise: "There are so many." When I took Jizhou this year, I saw that Yuan Shao's household registration book was only about 300,000 in the whole state. ”
Wei Yan said with a smile: "Jizhou has been war-torn and has heavy taxes. How can the people support their families with peace of mind, and the population cannot be compared with the south. However, as far as those populations are concerned, they are also quite large in Henan and Hebei. ”
Liu Yong nodded and said, "That's true." Cao Cao saw that Jizhou had a population of about 300,000. Overjoyed, exclaimed 'Big State'. ”
"Cao Cao, that's rare and weird. The situation in Jingxiang is stable, and there are many towns with a population of hundreds of thousands. The government is politically clear, light on taxes, and advocates equality for all and attaches importance to talents. Therefore, there is a large number of people in the north to vote, and if it were not for the limited land, I am afraid that the population would be even more. ”
Liu Yong sighed: "That's right, they are all the same people, why should they be divided into three, six, nine and so on?" Farmers, merchants, and craftsmen all rely on hard work and wisdom to support themselves and their families with their hands, so why should they be inferior? They have the lowest status, they can't wear this, they can't use that, but they can pay the most taxes. Is this fair? Just imagine, if it weren't for their contributions, would we have so many abundant goods and such a comfortable and comfortable life? ”
Yu Chuan sighed sincerely: "The old man also read poetry books in vain. However, after a few years, the old man felt the changes in Fuyi, especially the changes in people. The old man now dares to say that if there is a foreign enemy attacking, there is no need for the old man to mobilize, and many ordinary people in Fuyi will spontaneously organize themselves and share the same hatred. Desperately defend your homeland. ”
Gan Ning also said with deep feelings: "This place is indeed different from other places, and you have to rely on real skills to do anything." Those who come from poor backgrounds have hope, and those who have not met talents have a place to use. ”
Liu Yong said with a smile: "This is called 'there is a talent, there must be a talent.'" 'Let's go. Let's go into town! ”
Liu Yong saw that the city was more majestic and majestic than when he came back last time, and he thought that it had been strengthened again, and the scale was no worse than that of Yecheng, which Yuan Shao had worked hard to operate for many years. Looking up, the word "Fuyi" on the city gate has been replaced by "Yuyuan", but it has the atmosphere of the state capital. Go into the city. It's bustling inside, far more than ever. The roads in the city are wide and smooth, extending in all directions, the shops and wine shops are lined up, the houses are lined up and proportioned, the cars and horses on the road are sparkling, the flow of people is like weaving, the south and the north are transferred one after another, the sound of selling, horse neighing, and greeting are endless, Liu Yong can't help but think of a sentence written in "Yan Zi Makes Chu" in Linzi with a large population, "Zhang Yuan becomes yin, sweats into rain, and follows each other side by side", which is also very appropriate to use here.
"This is a new district, and the prosperity of the old district is no less than that." Yu Xuan introduced.
Liu Yong nodded, talked with everyone all the way, and the pedestrians bowed their hands when they saw Yu Tuo, and Yu Tuo smiled in return. Suddenly, someone recognized Liu Yong and exclaimed, "This is General Liu Yong, our benefactor who formulated the Fuyi development strategy and rescued us, and is also the parent official of Luoyuan County now." There was chaos on the street, and many people fell to their knees to worship Liu Yong. Liu Yong saw that there were men and women here, and there were many old people, how dare he accept such a big gift, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted and helped everyone up. The people surrounded Liu Yong, and the voices of gratitude and praise came and went, and Liu Yong couldn't help but blush when he heard it, and he didn't even dare to say it.
The news of Liu Yong's return spread ten, ten, and hundreds, and after a while, most of the city knew about it, and everyone gathered to greet Liu Yong. Liu Yong was flattered, so he stopped riding the horse, and walked around as he walked, and the others also came down to lead the horse. Diao Chan and Cai Wenji saw Liu Yong so popular with the people in the car, they were surprised, relieved, and proud, and they felt that they had a lifelong trust.
Crowded all the way to the post house. This post house is a "five-star hotel" for receiving envoys in the Yuyuan Mansion, with carved beams and paintings, and magnificent. Liu Yong grabbed the steps in a few steps, turned around, and saw a black press below, some smiling, some tearful, some grateful, and some bowing...... Liu Yong's heart was shocked, his nose was sore, tears came out of his eyes, he fell on his knees, and bowed to everyone. All the people were astonished, and they all fell down and saluted.
Liu Yong bowed three times, straightened up and arched his hand: "Folks, how can Liu Yong dare to be so favored by everyone, please get up." Everyone didn't get up, and Liu Yong said again: "You are all Liu Yong's relatives, please get up quickly." ”
Seeing that everyone refused to get up, Yu Pan persuaded, "You all get up." If you don't get up, Liu Taishou won't get up. After hearing this, the crowd slowly stood up.
Liu Yong first arched his hand and said: "The villagers are polite, without your understanding, support and dedication, how could there be today's Liu Yong." Please accept Liu Yong's bows. After saying that, he leaned over and bowed three more times.
The crowd is at a loss, and they can't accept it, and they don't receive it. In ancient times, the order of the young and the old was emphasized. There is a difference between respect and inferiority, although Fuyi advocates equality, but thousands of years of tradition can not be changed overnight, everyone sees Liu Yonggui as an important minister of the imperial court. The biggest parent official in the local area is so polite and approachable, and his heart is even more enthusiastic and emotional.
Liu Yong stood up. He said: "Thanks to the villagers for being so valued, Liu Yong will do his best to repay the high hopes of the villagers." Yu turned over and said: "Villagers, Mrs. Liu is tired of guarding the boat, can you let him enter the museum to rest first, and we will talk about it later?" ”
Someone in the crowd said loudly, "Folks, Taishou is working too hard for us, let's disperse first, let him rest in peace." Everyone else nodded yes. said goodbye to Liu Yong one after another.
After a short break, Yu turned over and invited Liu Yong, Diao Chan, and Cai Wenji to go upstairs to watch the scenery together. Coming upstairs, Yu turned over the window, suddenly the cool breeze was blowing, the fresh air came to his face, and there was a big lake in front of him, the lake was rippling and sparkling.
"This is the Moonlight Lake." Yu turned and pointed to the surface of the lake and introduced. He knew that Liu Yong would be satisfied, because his concept for the construction of Yueming Lake was the "kindness to nature and return to nature" that Liu Yong pushed at that time. Fuyi's development has far exceeded Liu Yong and Yu Fan's expectations, but in just one year, the city has expanded here. What was originally a plan on paper has long since become a reality. After accumulating a lot of wealth, Yu Tuo made great efforts to build the first wetland park in Fuyi and even the country here. Artificial, but it can be like nature, which is the highest state pursued in the garden landscape.
Yu turned over in the process of guiding the construction. According to local conditions and ingenuity, the mountain-shaped mountains, ancient trees and boulders by the lake are all preserved as they are, and then weeds are cut and cold-tolerant vegetation is paved; Reeds and weeping willows are planted along the lake, and shade trees such as cedar, pine, camphor, and cinnamon are planted along the road, as well as various flowers such as roses, rhododendrons, and roses. There is a small island in the middle of the lake. A small pavilion is built on it, and there are rockeries and strange stones, oriental cypress pine, and strange flowers and plants next to it, which is unique. On both sides of the lake, two long causeways are built, planted with weeping willows, and there are seats for people to rest on the long causeway, and a circular arch bridge in the middle for pleasure boats to pass through. On the other side, there is a water pavilion promenade, which carves the floor and paints the wall, and the ingenuity is unique.
Yu rubbed his beard and muttered: "The old man loves to sit on the verandah, not afraid of wind and rain, not afraid of the sun, you can see the waves in the lake, the shore is full of flowers, the water birds in the air sweep the waves, you can also fish or feed the fish in the lake, life is like this, how fast." As he spoke, he pointed his hand into the distance, "Across the lake is Childe's mansion." ”
That night, Yu turned a feast in the post house to wash the dust for Liu Yong and others. Many of Liu Yong's subordinates have not returned for several years, and this time relatives and friends couldn't help but cry when they saw each other. Liu Yong was not good at drinking, but in the face of these brothers with deep brotherhood, he had to hold the idea of "I'd rather hurt my body than hurt my feelings", and drank happily until he was too drunk to wake up and fell under the table.
Yu hurriedly asked someone to send Liu Yong into the backyard and handed him over to Diao Chan and Cai Wenji. Seeing that Liu Yong was drunk, the two girls were worried, and hurriedly asked Yahuan to bring the sobering soup and pour it down. Liu Yong vomited several times after drinking, and then fell into a deep sleep, and this sleep did not wake up until noon the next day.
Liu Yong had never been so drunk, and after waking up, he only felt dry mouth, lightheadedness, soreness, and a little blurred consciousness. The two girls had been guarding their side, and when they saw this, they hurriedly helped him up, first rinsed his mouth with weak tea, and then served and drank some honey water. Liu Yong saw the concerned eyes of the two women, and felt ashamed in his heart, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I made you worried." I won't do that again. ”
Diao Chan said gently: "We all know that yesterday's situation was different from the past, you have to drink, but you also have to care about your body." ”
Cai Wenji also smiled: "Now that your body is not your own, you have to think about it for our sisters, right?" ”
Liu Yong agreed, drank hot tea for a while, felt better, and asked, "Didn't you two go to the lake for a walk?" ”
Cai Wenji replied angrily: "You are drunk like that, how can we be in the mood to go out for a stroll." ”
"I'm sorry!" Liu Yong said apologetically, "That's it." Tomorrow, I will go to Wancheng to pick up Ying'er and Yun'er, you pick up at home, and we will be married. ”
Cai Wenji was dissatisfied: "My eldest son Liu, you want to just go and take the two younger sisters over, and then hold a wedding, and read out the will of the saint, so that you will be married, right?" ”
"yes. Is there something wrong? Liu Yong was confused.
"It's not polite."
"What's wrong with propriety?" Liu Yong was surprised. (To be continued.) )
