0373 Celebrate
With the entry of the military police into the city, coupled with the continuous propaganda of the officers, many soldiers who had finished shopping or found that it was not suitable for shopping today began to gradually leave from the north and south gates. This made the city much less populated.
Taking this opportunity, Li Wenliang grasped the squad leader who was familiar with the terrain and worked out several evacuation routes, arranged manpower along the streets, and at the same time sent people to publicize at the city gate, telling the soldiers to leave as soon as possible after buying things after entering the city, and not to stay in the city! Otherwise, if there are too many people, it is easy to stampede!
But even so, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the soldiers to bring their families into the city! They stood outside the city and laughed loudly until it was their turn to enter the city. Fortunately, the soldiers obeyed discipline, Li Wenliang responded in a timely and accurate manner, and there were no accidents in the city!
By the time of curfew, most of the soldiers had already walked around the city and gradually left. At this time, the city returned to normal, and it was safe to spend the day!
But just when the prefect of Qian was glad to have escaped the catastrophe, and Li Wenliang was tired and weak, there were people in Quanzhou City who celebrated!
In one of the largest local green houses, a celebratory banquet is being held! There were more than a dozen gentry involved. They were toasting around a large table full of food and drink! Most of these people are elderly, but that doesn't stop everyone from having a beautiful girl by their side!
At this time, they had just finished toasting together, and the target of the toast was Liu Haojia! One of them put down his glass and said, "Now that I think about it, this day is like a dream!" Almost all of my city's grain depots have been emptied! ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this! Another person said: "It's not surprising, those Qiu Ba can't eat enough on weekdays, and now they have a few months of money at once, so they naturally want to find a way to save some food at home!" ”
The gentry who spoke first said, "That's right, that's right, that's it!" And according to the old man's opinion, there will be a lot of more grain sold in the next few days tomorrow! Because looking at the way it looks today, there are still many people who have not come to the city, or who have come and cannot enter the city! ”
A pot-bellied gentleman said: "Yes, today the two cloth houses of my family have almost sold out their stocks, and even the old cloth that has been backlogged for many years has been sold for a good price!" So I'll have to make up some stock tomorrow! ”
Another person said, "You don't know how many hairpins I sold today!" Now some of the masters in the store are busy! ”
Then another person said: "The copper mirrors in my shop today, all the copper basins are sold out!" ”
Everyone, you and I have sketched a scene of panic buying! And just as they said, more than 10,000 soldiers entered the city with their families and swept away all the merchants in the city like locusts crossing the border! Although they don't buy many things per household, they can't stand the number of people! That's a lot of consumption!
It can be said that in this city, except for the Qinglou Chu Pavilion and high-end restaurants, everyone has made a lot of money! Even the roadside vendors made a windfall! I don't know how many food stalls have been eaten up and have to be closed with great regret!
When everyone talked about their joy, they couldn't help but raise their glasses to celebrate another round! Then the gentry who ran the cloth village said: "To say that this Liu Shaoshuai is really prescient, he told us a few days in advance to stock up on more goods, and also to prepare more low-grade and practical goods, but now it is not a fulfillment!" ”
The person next to him shook his head and said, "It's just that the temper is a little bigger, and the attack is a little more ruthless!" I was a little greedy when I raided my house! ”
When everyone heard this, there was another burst of laughter! An old man sitting on his left hand said with a smile: "This can't be blamed for people's tempers!" He himself is a thief, and he is a new official, so he must have some achievements! It's just a pity for the Li family! ”
A thin old man diagonally opposite him shook his head and said, "This can only be said that the Li family's father and son don't know the current affairs!" Their plans are so vicious, they have driven Liu Shaoshuai to a dead end, how can people not fight back! If nothing else, let's just think about today, these Qiu Ba just happily came to buy things, and what a mess they made! If these people really don't have anything to eat, these ten thousand people will make a big incident, maybe we will be implicated! ”
Immediately one of the gentry nodded and said, "That's right, that's right!" As the saying goes, you can't drive a dog into a poor alley! ”
When everyone heard this, they laughed again, and they were very happy that this gentleman compared Liu Haojia to a dog! When the laughter stopped, a gentry said: "Everyone, this Young Marshal Liu made me make a windfall, should we also give him something, or talk about the heart, and by the way, the relationship is pulled!" You must know that now the water division camp outside the city lives in our financial resources! As long as he can guarantee the payment on time, our money will continue to flow! ”
When everyone heard this, they agreed and began to discuss what to give Liu Haojia. The old man at the head said embarrassedly: "The old man has inquired, this Young Marshal Liu's family is rich, and he doesn't care about sending some money!" But let's contribute to the officialdom, it's a civil and military way, it's difficult! ”
The pot-bellied gentry flicked his sleeves and said, "What's so difficult about this? Now is the time when he needs fame when a new official takes office, so let's give him some fame! How about everyone gather some umbrellas for him? ”
Everyone applauded when they heard this, but the old man at the head frowned and said: "But this Wanmin umbrella has always been given to civil officials, how can it be given to martial artists!" And if you give him the Wanmin umbrella, how should the prefect treat us when he takes the money? ”
The pot-bellied gentry said disdainfully: "He still dares to offend us?" And seeing that he looks like he has no responsibility, it is estimated that he will be transferred away after the expiration of his term, and he doesn't have to pay attention to this kind of person! ”
After thinking about it, everyone found that this was really the truth, so they discussed it with you and me, and settled the matter. In this way, without Liu Haojia's knowledge, someone was already ready to send him a Wanmin umbrella
After paying the soldiers, Liu Haojia gave all the officers and men of the Nanyang Fleet a three-day holiday! In the past three days, Quanzhou City has been like a pot, and a large number of soldiers and officers have taken turns to enter the city to purchase, which can make the big and small merchants in the city squint with a smile!
There is no one in this world who does not like to wear new clothes and eat well, but there were no conditions before! Now that the soldiers of the Nanyang Fleet suddenly have a few months of extra money in their hands, they naturally have to spend a lot of money to make up for their previous shortcomings. So these three days are simply a carnival for all the residents of Quanzhou City!
