Chapter 198: The Scholars and Merchants Are Shocked
Thank you Xiao Yin for the reward recommendation of reading books when you are bored!
All because of the majestic atmosphere of the county government, people will feel a little depressed, and under the suppression, people will naturally have resistance, resulting in things that should be negotiated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, Ming Zhongxin suggested that Liu Zhixian entertain these gentry in Mingxuan Pavilion, believing that the dishes of Mingxuan Pavilion would give these gentry a pleasant feeling, and first relax their vigilance, and then move them with affection and courtesy, and it will naturally come naturally.
Liu Zhixian praised this, so it was set in Mingxuan Pavilion.
While everyone was waiting, the gentry arrived one after another, and they were all invited to the third floor to take a seat.
"Brother Zhu, are you here early?" An obese fat man saluted Zhu Yuanwai.
"Brother Jia, it's not too late!" Zhu Yuan's skin is smiling and smiling.
"Yo, isn't this Brother Han? I haven't seen you for many days, and I miss it so much! ”
"Yo, you're not dead yet?"
As the big families in Lingxian County, they are naturally familiar with each other, and it is inevitable to have such and such interest entanglements, grievances and hatreds, and festivals with the bottom.
"Hey, Huang Lao has arrived!"
"Why is Huang Lao here too?" People are asking each other.
All those who asked shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.
Everyone turned their heads and asked again, and asked the whole audience, but no one knew why he came from.
Kicking and kicking, there was a sound of stairs.
saw Huang Fu leading the trio into the third floor, accompanied by two middle-aged people.
"Huang Lao is well!"
"Huang Lao, I haven't seen you for many days, this is polite!"
All of a sudden, the sound of greetings was endless.
Liu Zhixian heard the voice, Huang Lao arrived, and he didn't dare to hold it up, and immediately welcomed him out of the pavilion master's room.
After all, Huang Lao is the representative of the gentry of Lingxian County, and he is highly respected, and the gentry all look forward to him, not to mention that he is also the deputy head of Taishan Academy.
With such an identity, Liu Zhixian has all kinds of matters that need to be consulted by him, how dare he slack off at this time.
"I've seen Huang Lao!" Liu Zhixian bowed down and saluted Huang Lao.
"How dare you be a county lord!" Huang Lao hurriedly returned the salute.
"I've seen Lord County!" The two middle-aged people saluted Liuzhi County.
"The two heads of the family, Wang and Li, are polite." Liu Zhixian stood up straight, and did not be as polite as he was to Huang Fu, but only gave a polite salute.
But it turned out that this was the Wang and Li family heads in person, Ming Zhongxin had not seen the two before, at this time he looked deeply on the side, but saw that the Wang family head had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall figure, and the Li family head sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and a slightly short body, but between the raised hands were all elegant.
A few people made a noise, and after pushing and letting go, they sat down one by one.
The trio of Ming Zhongxin and Huang Ju nodded and did not say much.
After all, on this occasion today, the Huang Ju trio does not have the same identity as the head of the Ming family, but is just a fart worm, and they are here to see and see!
As the head of this case, Ming Zhongxin is the head of the Ming family, so he is naturally qualified to sit with Huang Lao and others.
Ming Zhongyuan, as the owner of Mingxuan Pavilion, accompanied aside.
The Huang Ju trio had no choice but to find a seat on their own.
Everyone also stepped forward to meet Liu Zhixian and Huang Lao.
After some noise, everyone sat down peacefully.
"I invite you to come here today because I have something to report." Master Qian stood up and said to everyone.
Everyone listened attentively, they were also very strange, for no reason, but the New Year is not a festival, why did the county lord invite them, although when he came, he had already guessed that it might be to raise donations, but according to what name?
This is not known, but it is said on the invitation card that everyone will be entertained in Mingxuan Pavilion today, and everyone is invited to come.
Everyone was confused.
Master Qian looked around at everyone and threw out a bomb.
"There is a plague in Jiangbei Province, Henan!?"
In an instant, the entire third floor exploded.
"What, the plague?"
"Plague? Did I hear me right? ”
"How so?"
……
All of a sudden, the scene was noisy.
"Alright, everyone, stop arguing!" Master Qian maintained order.
With Master Qian's reassurance, the third floor slowly became quiet again.
But everyone was still surprised.
Master Qian coughed lightly, he was also worried in his heart, I don't know if everyone knows that the plague may come here, and if he can still be calm as usual.
In anticipation, Master Qian spoke again.
"The plague broke out in February and is now under control."
"That's good, that's good!" Everyone exhaled and nodded one after another, but complained in their hearts about Master Qian, don't you gasp for breath, it's okay, you can finish all the words at once, it's really scared to death for the baby!
"However, the Yellow River burst its banks last year, there was no grain harvest, and there were many people in the disaster, so in desperation, Henan Jiangbei Province sent an official letter, asking the surrounding provinces to divert the victims in order to respond." Master Qian instantly ruined their newly calmed mood.
"What? The surrounding provinces, doesn't that also include our Shandong Province? "Some people were frightened.
"It's okay, aren't there two mansions in front of our Jinan Mansion, they won't come to us!" Some people are lucky.
More people continued to look at Master Qian and listen to him finish speaking.
Master Qian looked at everyone, nervous in his heart, this announced errand was really not done by people, the pressure was too great!
"The political envoy of Shandong has an order, and all the provinces in Shandong are ready to welcome the victims!"
Everyone was in an uproar, which meant that Jinan Mansion also prepared.
However, what was even more shocking was that Master Qian actually announced again.
"The Governor of Jinan Prefecture Xiao came to Lingxian County a few days ago and asked the county lord to be ready to welcome the victims."
This information is too explosive.
Everyone was stunned for a while.
"Does this mean that Ling County will also usher in disaster victims?" Someone looked around for confirmation.
Some people look sluggish, some people look confused, and some people are thoughtful.
All kinds of expressions, but all of them were shocked.
It seems that the two sensitive words plague and disaster victims are really shocking and chilling!
Huang Fu was also at the beginning
"You don't need to panic, the county has formulated a charter, just wait for the arrival of the disaster victims, and implement it, and it will not affect the people of Ling County." Liu Zhixian stood up and said comfortingly.
As soon as everyone heard this, they stopped shouting and quietly listened to Liu Zhixian's words.
Liu Zhixian looked at everyone with satisfaction and continued.
"Now, the most important thing is to be prepared, it has been arranged in the charter, now let's take a look."
Next to him, Master Qian glanced at the standing Wu Pavilion Master, and the Wu Pavilion Master understood and waved his hand.
I saw the guys holding trays in their hands, and they handed the pamphlets to the hands of everyone present.
Liu Zhixian sat down slowly, and said to Huang Fu and other gentry, "If there is any omission, please correct it from Huang seniors." ”
Huang Fu nodded yes, and looked down at the charter.
There was no sound on the third floor, only the sound of flipping books.
Slowly, the atmosphere in the building actually eased somewhat, everyone's panicked faces actually calmed down, and some people even smiled. (To be continued.) )
