Beside the stone tablet, Du He stood with his hands behind his back.
Ma Zhou said: "Congratulations to the county magistrate. From today on, everyone in the world knows the benefits of pork. I think very few people will openly oppose eating pork."
Dai Jinyun said happily: "Teacher, it is foreseeable that in the future, pork will become the meat eaten by people all over the world, surpassing mutton."
The old man picked his teeth and said, "Master, I feel so happy!"
Du He said with a smile: "I have to thank Mr. Changsun and Mr. Wang for this matter. They are definitely the heroes in promoting pork. Jin Yun, I would like to ask you, you have been promoting pork in Hu County for a long time. What is the effect?
"
Dai Jinyun said hurriedly: "Teacher, students are trying their best to promote pork. Although there is help from Guancheng, it is only limited to Huxian County and its surrounding areas. People in other places cannot accept pork. They have even been punished for promoting pork.
Chen Tian, a great scholar from Hu County, took the lead in opposing it!"
Du He nodded: "So, Wang Situ and Changsun Sikong have played an important role in promoting pork. Do you think it is appropriate for me to build this monument for them?"
"suitable!"
"That's right!"
People around Du He said one after another.
Swish.
Swish.
Two vicious eyes looked at Du He at the same time.
Du He turned around and saw Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui staring at him.
He was a polite man, so he hurried forward and said hello: "Good morning, Mr. Changsun and Mr. Wang, have you eaten?"
Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui, how can they be in the mood to eat at this moment?
"Duhe..."
"God damn you!"
The two spoke at the same time and cursed Du He.
Wang Gui said angrily: "Tear down this stone tablet immediately."
Du He asked curiously: "Why? Mr. Wang, you don't like the shape of this stone tablet. Don't worry, there are many skilled craftsmen in Hu County. They will have people redesign it right away. Do you like square or round, long or long?"
If it's short, it's okay even if it's rimmed with gold."
Wang Gui almost fainted: "That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm saying is that this stone tablet is out of place here."
"Why is it inappropriate? Mr. Wang, let me ask you, is what is written on this stone tablet false?" Du He asked with his eyes widened.
Wang Gui shook his head.
Snapped.
Du He patted Wang Gui on the shoulder: "That's all right, Old Wang...ah no, Mr. Wang, since what is said on the stone tablet is true, what are you still afraid of?"
"You, you, you... you are embarrassing me," Wang Gui said jumping to his feet.
Du He laughed: "Master Wang, you are wrong. Listen, among the people around you, who would say you are embarrassed? Everyone is praising the magic of the white pigs in my pig farm."
The two were arguing.
Li Er, dressed in casual clothes, also rushed over.
He grabbed Du He and asked, "Du He, do you know what you are doing?"
Du He scratched his head: "I know, Your Majesty, I am building a stone monument for Master Changsun and Master Wang. Your Majesty, this is a monument, just like the merit monument, not a tombstone."
Li Er said angrily: "If you do this, where will the two Qing's families go? It's just nonsense!"
Du He chuckled: "Your Majesty, I am not fooling around. This matter has been approved by both adults."
"nonsense!"
"nonsense!"
Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui said at the same time.
When did you agree?
Besides, if you want to engrave this matter on a stone tablet, you can't agree to it even if you are killed.
Du He was not in a hurry, folded his hands and said, "Master Changsun and Master Wang, have you received all the money I sent to you today?"
The two nodded.
Snapped.
Du He clapped his hands: "Yes, that's the advertising endorsement fee. Now that we are using the reputation of these two adults to promote pork, there is no reason why we shouldn't pay the advertising fee."
"You're talking nonsense. You just sent someone to bring the money, and you didn't say that you would engrave what I said on the stone tablet." Changsun Wuji said angrily, shaking his sleeves.
Du He smiled and said: "Master Changsun, there is another one under the money, didn't you see it?"
Paper?
Changsun Wuji hurriedly waved and asked someone to open the box Du He had delivered in the morning.
I saw a small piece of paper at the bottom of the box. If I didn't pay attention, I wouldn't care at all.
The note said: By accepting the advertising endorsement fee, you will tacitly agree to have your deeds engraved on the pork monument.
Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui almost spat out blood.
This is so fucking terrible.
Li Er couldn't stand it anymore.
He stepped forward and said, "Okay, Du He, I order you to tear down this stone tablet immediately. Don't make fun of the reputation of the two Qing family."
Du He scratched his head and looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that the people don't agree!"
"How could the people not agree? What benefit does this stone tablet have to them?" Li Er asked.
"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, please take a look!"
After Du He finished speaking, he turned around and said loudly: "Everyone, the county government will soon send people to remove this pork monument. Do you agree?"
"No!"
"Whoever dares to demolish the pork monument, I will fight with him!"
“Protect the monument!”
"No one is allowed to tear it down!"
For a time, the crowd was so angry that anyone who tried to tear down the pork monument would be beaten to death.
A shirtless man, about thirty years old, with a full beard, bronze-colored skin, and bulging muscles on his arms like big rocks. He was almost as tall as Lu Bu.
This guy pushed through the crowd, came to the front, and looked at Du He with an unkind expression: "Are you going to tear down the pork monument?"
As he spoke, he clenched his fists.
Du He took a step aside and pointed at Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji: "Soldier, you misunderstood. I am here to protect the Pork Monument. It is these two who want to demolish the monument."
The burly man stepped forward step by step and said loudly: "Whoever dares to demolish the pork monument, I will beat him to death!"
With that said, he waved his fists and walked towards Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui.
The surrounding civil and military ministers suddenly turned pale with fear.
Everyone came in a hurry and did not bring any guards. At this time, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong were not present.
In the chaos, Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji could only be heard pleading for mercy: "Strong men, please show mercy. We didn't say we wanted to demolish the pork monument."
"Yes, no one said it was going to be demolished!"
The man asked: "Who wants to demolish it?"
Changsun Wuji quickly said: "You misunderstood. It is not to be demolished. This pork monument is very good and no one said it should be demolished."
The man clenched his fist and said angrily: "That's good. If anyone dares to demolish the pork monument in the future, please let me know and I will live in the west of the city."
With that said, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Er.
"Strong man, please stay. I have something unclear. Why don't you have someone remove this pork monument?" Li Er asked curiously.
When the man saw Li Er, he raised his fist again: "But you want to tear down the pork monument?"
