For three days in a row, the county palace was bustling with people coming and going.
Chickens and sheep are killed every day, and the smell of meat is fragrant. In ancient times, building a house was considered a big event. Neighbors came to visit, lend a hand, and even give some gifts... Of course, the most important thing is
It's normal to come here for a meal.
Liu Zheng was also generous in his actions.
As long as there are people waiting to come to the door, they will stay to eat.
So, the scene in the county magistrate's office has been like this these days, with adults helping enthusiastically, and many children drooling at the big pot of rice in the courtyard.
"This old woman from the Wei family has brought chickens again!"
When Liu Zheng heard this, he hurriedly went up to greet him.
Wei Tiezhu's mother, an old woman, has been coming most diligently these days. When she learned that her son had been appreciated by the county magistrate, not only did she spend 500 taels, but Liu Zheng also entrusted Wei Tiezhu with important tasks and even intended to keep Wei Tiezhu in the county.
What does it mean to serve as a Houfu?
A reckless man directly became an official!
This made Mrs. Huang feel that the ancestral grave was smoking, and she wanted to kill all the livestock in the house these days.
"Grandma Huang, what are you doing?"
Liu Zheng came up to express his gratitude.
In the past few days, he has also noticed that although the Yinzhou area is barren and the folk customs are strong, the people here still have a kind of simplicity that will not be seen in later generations.
As long as you are nice to them, they will treat you with all their heart.
"Mr. Liu, our family is poor and we only have these few things. Don't dislike it!"
When the old lady smiles happily, the farmer won't be so formal when speaking.
"No, no, no, keep it in the account, put it in the account!"
Liu Zheng shouted, and Liu Dahao immediately brought the chickens over. In the past few days, no matter how many people came to give chickens or ducks, whether they were raw or familiar, Liu Zheng said that they must keep accounts!
This is Liu Zheng’s wisdom.
In this day and age, these are the only things that rely on human relations. Don't deal with so many false things.
"Oh, Mr. Liu is just too polite, too polite!"
Old Mrs. Huang went to help immediately.
"Mom, you're here!"
Wei Tiezhu has also become the "foreman" here in the past few days. Liu Zheng liked this kind of honest person and directly gave him a counselor position in the county houfu, making everyone else envious.
"Work, work, the county magistrate will treat you well, remember not to be lazy!"
Mrs. Huang explained.
The sound of Wei Tiezhu's urn echoed.
"So fast!"
In three days, almost all of the County Marquis's Mansion, which was in disrepair before, had been repaired. In about two days, the County Marquis' Mansion, although not magnificent, but definitely majestic, will be built, and they will
You can officially move in.
"Son, the materials and labor in Yinzhou are really cheap!"
Liu Dahao whispered from the side.
"oh?"
Liu Zheng asked: "How much did it cost in total?"
Liu Dahao was a wealthy businessman and became a monk, and he was also very good at calculating accounts. He chuckled and said, "I only paid two hundred taels in total!"
"What?"
Liu Zheng was also stunned when he heard this.
He thought that it would cost at least 500 taels to rebuild the county palace! Unexpectedly, it was so cheap?
Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed.
Being poor also has its advantages. The ten thousand taels of silver blackmailed from Chen Ping seems to be able to cover a lot of things.
“What a great place!”
Liu Zheng laughed.
There are at least two to three hundred young adults in the courtyard at this time. The climate and environment in this northwest region determine that the people here are tall and strong, and can withstand wind and frost. It is said that they usually do not have enough to eat, but this does not affect their labor force at all.
Talent!
There are talents here!
When the County Marquis Mansion is actually built, these people will all be their own team!
"Changfeng!"
Liu Zheng was very happy and shouted.
"Master?"
Qin Changfeng ran over.
"Go shopping on the street with me!"
Liu Zheng was looking for some free time and planned to go out for a walk.
"yes!"
Qin Changfeng followed Liu Zheng, and the two of them strode out.
"My son, my son, where are you going? Are you not taking your father with you?"
Liu Dahao took a look and shouted to follow him.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly: "Father, what are you doing? I just went to the street to take a look."
Unexpectedly, Liu Dahao smiled mischievously and said with an expression that every man would understand: "As a father, can I not know where my son is going? Let's do it together!"
Liu Zheng was stunned: "Where am I going?"
Liu Dahao was disrespectful to his husband and hooked up with Liu Zheng: "Zheng'er, my father knows your temper best. When you come to a new place, if you don't go to the land of fireworks, where are you going? Let's go together!"
"puff!"
Liu Zheng almost spit out blood.
Does this Liu Dahao look like a father?
How can anyone go there to play with dad?
He deliberately threatened: "Dad, I heard that my mother will come to Yinzhou on a certain day. You are now the county magistrate. When the county magistrate comes to Yinzhou, he does nothing but go to this kind of fireworks place. , this matter spreads out, and after a little inquiry, it is just an interesting thing on the streets! Are you really not afraid? "
Liu Dahao was shocked and his eyes were horrified: "My son, the County Marquis's account keeping can't be without me. You go and play, you go!"
After saying that, he ran back in a hurry.
Liu Zheng and Qin Changfeng laughed at the same time.
But after Liu Dahao reminded him, Liu Zheng really wanted to go to this ancient place of fireworks. This was not because he wanted to have fun, but because in this era, places like Qingtai Restaurant are actually the best place for information exchange. It is a frequent place, and people traveling from north to south will almost come here to spend some time.
Not only that, the green restaurant in ancient times was not a place for selling meat in the traditional sense.
There are also many literati and poets who often gather here. In other words, this is a place where high-level intellectuals of this era often hang out, reciting poems and writing poems, drinking and discussing state affairs, which often happens in this place.
This Longyan Dynasty restaurant is equivalent to a coffeehouse in the European Middle Ages.
Here, everyone can express their opinions and even have free ideological games. When you drink here, no one cares about how you criticize or make shocking opinions.
"Come on, let's go shopping too!"
Liu Zheng waved his hand, and Qin Changfeng quickly followed.
Although Yinzhou is barren, this kind of land of fireworks has existed since ancient times. No matter how remote the country is, there are such places and such businesses.
The largest restaurant in Yinzhou City, and of course the only restaurant of this kind, is called Wanhua Restaurant.
Easy-to-understand name.
At first glance, this four-story restaurant is already considered a very high-end building in Yinzhou City. It was just afternoon, and there was a smell of powder and alcohol, and there were already some fans standing on the street soliciting customers. .
These fans also have extremely professional ethics. No matter how poorly dressed the people on the street are, they will come over and tease them.
"Uncle, come and play!"
"Oh, Mr. Wang, you won't be here for a while! I miss my slave family to death!"
