Someone saw with their own eyes that a big businessman in Hu County, with a fortune of hundreds of thousands, was sent to raise pigs after only eating half a bowl of porridge because he was so moved by the enthusiasm of the Guancheng Brigade that he had just returned from a trip.
There was also a nobleman who hated the Guancheng Brigade and scolded Guancheng in the street. In the end, he was forced to eat two bowls of porridge. Naturally, he could not escape the fate of raising pigs.
Nowadays, people in Huxian County are in panic, and many people have stopped eating porridge and switched to other foods.
“Thank you so much for your kindness, Mr. County!”
"I can't wait to get hungry!"
"I just had dinner!"
"County Lord, I won't eat this porridge..."
Everyone seemed very polite and shook their heads in refusal.
Even though this preserved egg and lean meat porridge looks very delicious, it contains a lot of meat and eggs.
I saw everyone shaking their heads and swallowing their saliva.
Du He picked up a bowl of porridge and said while eating: "You are so polite. Could it be that you look down on our county government's porridge and think that the county has neglected everyone?"
"Don't dare!"
"The county magistrate is joking!"
In the past, everyone regarded Du He as a child and naturally despised him.
But now, no one dares to look down on Du He. After all, most of those who looked down on Du He were sent to build roads or raise pigs.
At this time, Chen Yifa said slowly: "My lord, I'll tell you the truth, I have something important to do when I come to visit you today!"
"Oh?" Du He took out his handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and said, "I wonder what you need to do, heads of the family?"
Liang Kai couldn't help but said: "County Lord, when I came to the county government office, I just wanted to ask, when will the repairs of this city wall begin? The city wall has been in disrepair for a long time. If we leave it alone, I'm afraid there will be disaster..."
Du He was stunned.
"Repair the city wall? Did I say I wanted to repair the city wall? It seems that the three major policies implemented by Hu County, namely road construction, farming, and pig raising, have not repaired the city wall?" Du He himself was confused.
Everyone was stunned.
Damn it, this bitch took our 120,000 yuan and really planned to embezzle it for himself. He didn't even think about building the city wall.
So hateful!
Everyone stared angrily.
Du He turned around and asked: "Old Ma, do we want to build the city wall?"
Ma Zhou hurriedly said: "County Lord, you are a noble man who forgets things. Previously, the city wall collapsed and injured Wei Shuyu. The young master invited all the family heads to the county government to discuss it. In the end, all the family heads understood the righteousness and donated one after another. A total of twelve
Wan Guan was used to repair the city wall, and this money is still stored in the county government's treasury!"
"Oh," Du He suddenly remembered, "Now that I think about it, there is still this matter. Thank you to all the family heads for reminding me, otherwise this county would have forgotten about it."
Everyone: "..."
Huang Meiliu looked at Du He and asked in a low voice: "County Lord, if the city wall does not need to be repaired, can you return the money to us?"
"Yes, Master Huang is right!"
"County Lord, if you don't repair the city wall for the time being, please return this money to us. When the county government needs it, we will donate it again."
"That's the truth..."
Everyone said it one after another.
Du He finally understood that these guys came to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason and were here to refund their money today.
Money back?
It is impossible to get your money back in this life!
Du He said with a smile: "Master Huang, who told you that this city wall does not need to be repaired? Someone, call Lu Shengxiao to this county."
"yes!"
Someone immediately went to the construction site on Anhu Avenue to find Lu Yuan.
Not long after, Lu Yuan arrived in a hurry.
Du He asked: "Shengxiao, how did you go about the things I assigned you before? Have you finished the planning?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Master, everything is ready."
He waved his hand, and two servants came up dragging a cylinder rolled up with paper.
Wow.
The paper tube unfolds.
This is a new planning map of Huxian County.
The entire drawing is about one foot and two long and eight feet wide, which is very huge.
Du He stood up, picked up a stick half a man's height, pointed at the huge drawing, and introduced: "Everyone, this is the Xinhu County that our county is going to build. It can also be called the city of the future. According to calculations,
, the newly planned county is thirty times the current area, and is mainly divided into residential areas, industrial areas, cultural and educational areas, administrative areas, and some agricultural areas. Hu County will become the first fully functional city in the Tang Dynasty.
, a megacity with a population of over one million, and all of you here will be the first batch of residents of this future city..."
Du He talked eloquently.
Everyone was stunned.
Huang Meiliao stepped forward, got closer, observed carefully, and finally asked: "County Lord, where is the city wall?"
Although this planning map is complicated, Huang Meiliao is certain of one thing: the new Huxian county seat will not have a city wall.
"yes!"
"Where's the city wall?"
Everyone asked.
They all turned to look at Du He.
Du He picked up the stick, drew it gently, and said: "The city of the future will have no walls and no borders, so there is no need for walls!"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they were all confused.
Liang Kai couldn't help but said: "County Lord, if there is no city wall, how much money will I be waiting for?"
"Everyone, you donated 120,000 yuan at the beginning, but this county will not embezzle a cent. It was promised that the money would be used to repair the city wall, but now it seems that the wall cannot be repaired, so this county
The county has decided to use this money to demolish the city wall. You can rest assured that the work of demolishing the city wall will start immediately and will definitely not cause any trouble to everyone..." As a man of his word, Du He immediately promised.
Someone asked: "County Lord, if the city wall is demolished, will it still be built?"
"No more building. Only backward and depressed places will build high walls. Hu County is a city of the future and there is no need to build walls." Du He waved his hand and said proudly.
"But it won't cost more than 120,000 yuan to demolish the city wall, right?" Huang Meiliao said in confusion.
Du He nodded: "The Huang family is really smart. Yes, it won't cost much to demolish the city wall, but with transportation costs, labor costs, etc., it adds up to seventy-seven or eighty-eight dollars. Of course, this county hereby assures everyone that every day
Not a penny will be misused, and every account will be sent to you. All the money left after demolishing the city wall will be returned to everyone in proportion to the original donation. The county government and I, Du He, will never take a penny.
…”
Everyone: "..."
You can get your money back!
This is a happy thing.
But right now, no one can be happy.
Everyone bid farewell to Du He and came outside the county government office.
Huang Meili looked at Liang Kai and asked: "Master Liang, what do you think about Du He's construction of the new Huxian county seat?"
Liang Kai looked at the county government plaque and said depressedly: "Du He is just a lunatic!"
"Yeah, I think Du He is crazy!"
"The city walls have been demolished, how can we ensure everyone's safety?"
"It's over, it's over, Hu County is over!"
Everyone beat their chests and stamped their feet.
Since ancient times, wherever there are inhabited places, city walls must be built, and even if this is not feasible, camps must be built.
But Du He is better off. If he wants to tear down the city wall, he also wants to build a county town without city walls?
This move frightened all the family heads.
Everyone left the county government office worriedly.
