256The governance of the Grand Consul, Fiery Red Lotus, and Qingqings remote chat
Very early in the morning.
Chen Shu and his wife, facing the falling snowflakes, were pushing their own pancake cart together, which was also the pancake cart that the family relied on for a living.
The couple's destination is the core of Anhua City-Yizheng Square.
While passing through a road with thick snow, a group of patrolmen happened to pass by.
The chief inspector gave an order, and a group of people swarmed forward, pulling from the front and pushing from behind, and easily got the pancake cart out of the snowy road.
Even the two mastiffs used their two dog legs to help push the cart.
The couple expressed their gratitude sincerely: "Thank you very much for the help of the inspectors!"
The inspector general waved his hand nonchalantly and led the team away again.
"Woof! Woof!"
The dogs even barked at the couple a few times, seemingly telling them to be careful on the road.
Chen Shu watched the inspector go away and muttered in a low voice: "Since the arrival of the Grand Consul, the inspection office has completely changed."
His wife, Wang Fen, echoed in a low voice: "Yes, he used to be fierce and vicious, but now he is too kind to the common people."
】
The couple sighed together and continued on their way pushing the pancake cart.
Half an hour later.
The couple arrived at the Forum.
"Creak!"
Accompanied by the sound of trampling on the snow, a young steward in uniform walked over quickly and said directly: "Do you have a business license?"
Chen Shu quickly responded: "Yes! I have it!"
The middle-aged man carefully took out a palm-sized metal plaque from the inner pocket of his winter coat and handed it to the other party.
The steward looked at it carefully and said seriously: "His Excellency the Grand Consul is kind and has specially set aside an area in the square to allow you to operate.
"This place is right under your nose. Please operate it with integrity. Don't do anything short of anything, don't pass it off as good stuff, and be sure to pay attention to food hygiene..."
The steward mentioned more than ten prohibitions in one breath, and his tone became stern: "If anyone violates it, the license will be confiscated immediately. Do you understand?"
Chen Shu nodded repeatedly: "Understood!"
For this license, he boldly spent thirty silver coins of his family's savings. Naturally, he did not dare to do these things, otherwise wouldn't it be a loss of blood?
The steward waved his hand: "Okay."
The couple quickly pushed the pancake cart to the designated location.
Chen Shu glanced at the sky and said quickly: "It's estimated that someone will be here in ten minutes. I'll light the fire while you prepare the pancakes."
The middle-aged man knelt down, first stuffed fuel blocks into the stove, then poured in a little brown oil, and struck it a few times with a flint, until hot flames came out.
Wang Fen quickly took out various things, such as batter, sauces, various side dishes, etc.
It's not even ten minutes yet.
A civilian with a big beard walked towards the square.
Chen Shu glanced at it and shouted decisively: "The hot pancakes are delicious and not expensive!"
This sound was like a signal.
More than a dozen stalls in the business area shouted.
“The hot steamed buns keep away the cold and fill your stomach!”
"Hot drink with sweet ginger tea will warm your heart and stomach!"
The stall owners did not dare to speak too loudly or shout continuously. This was the requirement of the stewards.
After all, there is the Parliament Building not far away. If it is as noisy as a vegetable market, won't it affect the work of the staff?
Perhaps it was because of the first hawking, that the bearded man walked straight towards the pancake stall.
soon.
The pancake stall got its first business of the day - three pancakes.
While Chen Shu was making pancakes neatly, he asked with a smile: "Are you here to see the 'Gallanting Horses' in the City Hall Square?"
The bearded man nodded and said: "Yes! I heard that there are only three performances every day, and each time they are packed with people, so I came a little early."
The so-called "galloping war horses" are the twelve stone horses that Cheng Han whipped out on a whim a few days ago.
He gave instructions to the war horse to run three times every morning, noon and evening, to show his presence, and to act as a statue at other times.
Surprisingly, after this incident spread, many civilians came here because of it.
Initially, the guards of the Council Hall will drive away irrelevant people.
Cheng Han sat in his office and paid attention to this scene, decisively stopped the guards' actions, and ordered the square to be opened to the entire city's civilians.
Since then, Yizheng Square has completely become a famous attraction throughout the city.
People come to visit in an endless stream from morning to night. Every time when the stone horses gallop, tens of thousands of people gather, making it very lively.
At this moment.
Chen Shu got excited and showed off his knowledge: "After His Excellency the Grand Consul took office, Anhua City had big news every day.
"Everyone thinks that the wishing monument in Dongshan Park is a tool for you to listen to the voices of the people. Who knew that the monument can actually cure diseases and save people.
"Officials from the Council of Ministers said that at least 3,000 civilians met doctors in dreams on stone tablets, were diagnosed with hidden diseases and prescribed medicines."
The bearded man looked surprised: "The wishing monument is so powerful?!"
Chen Shu said with a "hehe" smile: "His Excellency the Grand Consul also issued a ruling order, ordering major pharmacies to temporarily open branches at the entrance of the park so that civilians can take medicine according to the prescription."
His wife Wang Fen skillfully put a pancake into a paper bag and added a sentence by the way: "People in the council hall also said that with so many pharmacies concentrated together, it is very convenient for civilians to compare prices and buy cheaper drugs.
"
The bearded man nodded repeatedly: "This is indeed a good idea!"
Chen Shu changed the subject: "I don't know if you know that yesterday, His Excellency the Grand Consul personally signed the 'Low-income Families Living Security Act', also known as the 'Minimum Living Security Act'."
The bearded man looked curious: "Oh? I've never heard of that."
In the spirit of serving customers, Chen Shu immediately introduced: "The general meaning of the law is that families in need with a low monthly income are divided into three levels according to their income, and each can receive a certain amount of subsidies."
Wang Fen added next to her: "The lowest-end families with special difficulties can receive a monthly subsidy of up to six silver coins!"
Ordinary monthly income is usually around twenty silver coins. In comparison, six silver coins is definitely not a small amount of money.
The bearded man sighed: "Your Excellency is indeed a good man who cares about the common people."
Chen Shu handed the pancake over and thought deeply: "Who says it's not the case? Compared with the previous great consuls, they are far behind this Excellency."
The bearded man took the pancake and said with a smile: "You know the affairs of the council hall very well."
Chen Shu smiled and said: "My wife and I set up a stall at the door of the Council Hall. Many employees come to buy pancakes from us. How can we not be clear about this?"
The bearded man handed over the money: "There is no need to change the two extra copper coins, just consider them as tips."
Chen Shu smiled happily: "You are so generous!"

As time goes by, the flow of people entering the Yizheng Square becomes more and more.
Although there were so many people that it could be called a "crowd of people", the Inspection Office already had experience in dealing with it, and a large number of inspectors arrived in advance to maintain order in an orderly manner.
And with more people, the business of the pancake stall will naturally become more prosperous.
Chen Shu and his wife were so busy that their feet never touched the ground, and their hands never stopped moving for a moment.
"Dang! Dang!"
The loud bells suddenly resounded through the Yizheng Square.
The tens of thousands of people gathered here instantly surged into a wave.
Because this means that the first galloping battle of the morning is about to begin.
Chen Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "I can finally take a rest."
Wang Fen quickly counted the iron boxes containing the money and whispered: "In just a moment, we made at least five silver coins."
Chen Shu looked at the majestic political building and muttered piously: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Grand Consul."
Change to the past.
How dare he set up a stall in the Yizheng Square? As soon as he came near, he would be violently driven away, and even the car might be overturned.
but now.
His Excellency the Grand Consul personally designated a business area and even made a magical galloping horse, giving him hope of living a good life.
"Dang! Dang!"
The bell continues to ring.
Wang Fen wiped her hands on her apron and said in a good mood: "It's about to start."
Chen Shu nodded and turned his gaze to the center of the square: "There seem to be more people today than yesterday."
The location of the business area is behind the crowd.
From the perspective of the couple, only the back of the head can be seen in layers, and at most the head of the stone horse statue can be seen.
A few seconds passed.
Suddenly a huge commotion broke out in the square.
Because all twelve war horses came to life and began to shake their heads and tails.
Ordinary people have never seen such a scene, and naturally they are all shocked.
"Winter! Winter!"
There was a dull vibration from the ground.
Twelve stone horses began to run along the special track surrounded by iron railings.
Wang Fen stood on tiptoe with a look of anticipation on her face: "I wonder what new tricks we have today?"
Since the birth of the stone horse, it has played different tricks every day, so many people come to watch it every day.
"Winter! Winter!"
The sound of horses' hooves became increasingly dense, indicating that the horses were running faster and faster.
Five seconds later.
The crowd suddenly boiled.
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!"
Exclamations like the above echoed in waves.
I saw that the four hooves of each stone horse actually burst into flames.
At a glance, these stone horses suddenly turned into flaming war horses.
What's even more amazing is that every time the horse's hoof hits the ground, a ball of flame will be left on the ground, and then a lifelike flaming red lotus will bloom.
The stone horses ran together in a circle, leaving a circle of fiery red lotus on the track.
Such scenes can truly be said to be shocking.

Guard the palace.
The two guarding Xuanshi stared at the image projected by the Xuanzhen and couldn't help but become speechless.
It wasn't until a minute passed that the group of stone horses stopped galloping and returned to their original positions and turned into stone again that the two of them came back to their senses.
Xu Daoming, the guarding scholar, had a complicated look on his face: "Tsk tsk, colorful flowers appeared on the ground where the Tianma herd ran yesterday. Ice lotuses appeared on the ground yesterday, and today they turned into fire lotuses."
Another guarding Xuanshi Zhao Qihuan couldn't help but sigh: "This boy has so many tricks!"
be honest.
As profound scholars, the two of them also felt like they had an eye-opening experience.
*
Inside the government building.
Female secretary Xie You stood behind the huge glass window, overlooking the runway covered with fiery red lotuses, and her seductive red lips suddenly opened into an "O" shape.
Right next to her.
Cheng Han didn't pay much attention to the scene in the square.
He was chatting with his little girlfriend through his black cat Sheriff: "Want to see Fire Horse?"
He and Qian Qingqing would have such remote chats several times almost every day.
During this period of time, although the two parties have not met each other, they are not unfamiliar with each other at all, but their relationship has become increasingly close.
