Chapter 137: Gratitude and Closeness to the People

The square in front of the county yamen.

The new stage stands in front of the steps of the Yamen, the stage is five feet above the ground, five zhang four wide, six zhang long, the frame is a pure wooden structure, but each exposed solid wood is wound with yarn, and then the dragon is decorated with a phoenix, and the flowers and grass are painted; The countertop is covered with a red carpet, and people walk up to it soft and comfortable.

The four sides are covered with various colored brocades, and even the dome is capped with colored silk, and the brocade on the front is movable, and it can be slowly opened to both sides by gently pulling it.

It is quite similar to the stage of the previous life, but it is more dazzling and colorful. The only regret is that there is no large screen, lighting, projector, sound and other necessary equipment for concerts in the previous life.

There is a banner on the roof of the front canopy: Qinghe County's first Thanksgiving and People-friendly Concert!

Hongyun Lou is well-known in Qinghe, Dou Ying is already a legend in the folk, how many people want to see its beauty, appreciate her warbler crying, but unfortunately she has rarely appeared outside since she entered Hongyun Lou, only singing in the building.

If you want to see them and listen to their songs, you can only enter the Red Rhyme Building. But Hongyun Building takes the high-end route, and you are embarrassed to wander around the door of the building without a few taels of silver in your pocket.

But no one dares to think crookedly about Dou Ying and Hongyunlou, such as forcibly abducting people to sing at home, or listening to an overlord play or something, as for the absurd behavior of dominating a woman in the building, he doesn't even dare to breed thoughts.

Who doesn't know that standing behind her is the biggest boss in Qinghe County?

The rich businessman and the landlord bully are small street ruffians, and no matter how iron their heads are, they don't dare to stretch their necks to the guillotine under the seat of the magistrate.

The more mysterious Dou Ying is, the more her worth rises. A few days ago, she personally led all the staff of Hongyun Building to the street, and thanked everyone for their efforts to hunt down the outlaws of the green forest, and then announced that a charity performance would be held, and for a while, the entire Qinghe County was boiling, and any star in the previous life could not even catch up with the dust it raised.

So since the first day of the stage, the flow of people in front of the square has never stopped.

Jiaqing 5th year, November 11.

No snow.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is cold but not hard.

The colorful flags in the county government square are displayed, crowded with people, and the excitement is better than the New Year. Quick-witted vendors set up stalls on the edge of the square to sell all kinds of snacks and dolls, and business was unprecedentedly good.

Fortunately, Kong Fang had the foresight to send county soldiers early to maintain order, and although there were people coming and going in the square, there was no chaos.

"Tom...... Tong...... Tom"

Three drums sounded, and the originally noisy square instantly fell silent, and people looked at the stage one after another.

Kong Fang walked to the front of the stage and looked at the crowd under the stage, feeling inexplicably excited, but after all, he was used to seeing big scenes, and he didn't behave at a loss.

After the concert was agreed by Fang Shiqing, he began to plan.

The time is reversed by three days.

Qinghe Baihualou.

Kong Fang invited the wealthy squires in Qinghe City to drink. Speaking of them, except for Samurai Yue, everyone else was at a loss when they received his invitation.

Since ancient times, unless there is a red and white celebration, there has always been only the people inviting the officials, how can there be a reason for the officials to invite the people?

But haven't they heard of any happy events in Zhixian?

Is it that Luo is the five fierce people in Jiangbei, and the adults deliberately put wine to suppress the shock? If you think about it, you should be fine.

Du Xinwu tacitly agreed that they went to the appointment with valuable gifts. Who knew that their gifts were blocked by Master Kong Yiji outside the Baihua Building.

"Master, what's the reason?" Du Xinwu asked dissatisfied, relying on his old age.

Kong Yiji said with a smile: "My lord's order, he just wants to invite all the villagers to get together and chat, don't think about it." ”

"Your Excellency specially instructed that you can come, and you have already given your lord a lot of face, how can you accept generous gifts from your townspeople!"

When Du Xinwu heard this, he didn't know how to reply for a while.

Although they are rich and wealthy, they are still the people in the final analysis.

The official is the people's day, how dare they not give face to the magistrate?

Unless they have an iron head, or a brain-dead brain.

Kong Fang's operation made them uneasy, and Baihualou seemed to be in crisis.

"Master, can you get some information, what is the meaning of your lordship's move?" After Du Xinwu's heart turned around a thousand times, he dared to probe again.

Kong Yiji blocked Du Xinwu's hand that stuffed silver into his pocket, and said with a smile: "Old Du, if I say that the adults invited you to come, it is an important matter to discuss, and it will be beneficial to you without any harm, do you believe it?" ”

"I believe it."

Du Xinwu was hesitating and didn't know how to answer, and the warrior grabbed the words. "Fellow villagers, you should believe in the sincerity of your lordship, he is originally an eclectic good official, and we can't treat him with common sense."

"Don't say anything else, just talk about my old martial artist, haven't you heard of it? Let's not spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, bring back the common etiquette, and we will go to see the adults refreshingly. ”

After that, he took the lead in asking the family to bring the gift home, and walked into the Baihua Building by himself, and the others followed suit.

Between Tianzi No. 1, Kong Fang was really waiting.

Du Xinwu and the others were greatly moved, let go of the last trace of vigilance and etiquette constraints, and met each other calmly. Kong Fang is completely dishonest with his official status, but regards himself as a junior.

His posture lowered, and the squires gradually adapted after panicking, and the two sides got along well.

He told them that he planned to harden all the streets in the city with cement, and that the cost of the project would be financed by the county government.

The cement used in it is provided by his cement workshop, and the profit is half of it.

Cement, everyone is no stranger, Fangjiazhuang to Qinghe City road project is almost completed, they have been to the scene to observe, many of them also booked cement.

Needless to say, the beauty of cement moved them to imagine the size of the project.

They are either natives of Qinghe City, or they have been operating in the city for years, even decades, and they are familiar with every street in the city, and it is estimated that millions of catties of cement will be needed to harden them all.

The most important thing is that cement is a straining product, expensive, in short supply, adults say that the profit is half percent, seemingly insignificant, in fact, the loss is incalculable.

Kong Fang's words changed.

Although most of the cost of the project is paid by the county government, and he has also made concessions for cement, but this urban construction project is a good thing for the present and the future.

The people sitting here were all smart people, and they immediately understood the meaning of the adults' words. Building bridges and paving roads is a good deed of cultivating yin virtue, and there are adults who throw bricks and lead jade first, so they will naturally not be stingy with that little money. military

The samurai was the first to stand up and say that he was willing to donate 5,000 taels of silver, and the others were also willing to donate

Kong Fang motioned for everyone to be calm and not to get bored.
