There is strength in numbers.
For three days in a row, the county lord's mansion was bustling with people coming and going.
Chickens and sheep are slaughtered every day, and the meat smells fragrant. In ancient times, building a house was considered a major event. Neighbors came to visit, lend a hand, and even give some gifts... Of course, the most important thing was to have a meal, which is normal.
Liu Zheng was also generous in his actions.
As long as someone is waiting to come to the door, they will stay to eat.
So, the scene in the County Marquis Mansion has been like this these days, with adults enthusiastically helping, and many children drooling as they look 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 greeted him.
Wei Tiezhu's mother, an old woman, has been working most diligently in the past few days. When she learned that her son had been appreciated by the county marquis, not only did he pay 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 in the 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 family 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 land of Yinzhou is barren and the folk customs are strong, the people here still have a 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.
"Master Liu, our family is poor and we only have these few things. Don't dislike it!"
The old lady smiled brightly, and the farmer would not 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 took the chickens over. In the past few days, no matter how many people come to deliver chickens and ducks, no matter whether these people are raw or familiar, Liu Zheng said that they must keep accounts!
This is Liu Zheng's wisdom.
In this era, these are the things that rely on human relations. Don't fix so many false things.
"Oh, Mr. Liu is just too polite, too polite!"
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 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 palace, which had been in disrepair before, had been repaired. In about two days, the County Marquis's Mansion, which is not magnificent but definitely majestic, will be built, and they 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 is a wealthy businessman and a monk, and he is an expert at settling accounts. He chuckled and said, "I only spent two hundred taels in total!"
"What?"
Liu Zheng was also stunned when he heard this.
He thought that it would cost at least five hundred taels to rebuild the county palace! I didn’t expect it to be so cheap?
Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed.
Poverty also has its advantages. The ten thousand taels of silver extorted from Chen Ping seems to be able to cope with 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. In this northwest land, the climate and environment determine that the people here are tall and strong, and can withstand wind and frost. It is said that they do not have enough to eat on weekdays, 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 streets with me!"
Liu Zheng wanted 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 confused: "Where am I going?"
Liu Dahao was disrespectful to his husband, so he 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 do it together!"
"puff!"
Liu Zheng almost spit out blood.
Does this Liu Dahao look like a father?
How can anyone go there to play with daddy?
He deliberately threatened: "Dad, I heard that my mother will come to Yinzhou on a certain day. You are the county magistrate now. When the county magistrate comes to Yinzhou, he will do nothing but go to this kind of fireworks place first." , this matter spreads out, and after a little inquiry, it is just an interesting thing in the streets! Are you really not afraid? "
Liu Dahao was shocked and his eyes were frightened: "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.
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 is not because he wants to have fun, but in this era, places like Qingtai Restaurant are actually the places where information exchange is the most frequent. People from all over the world come here to spend money.
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 senior intellectuals of this era often hang out, reciting poems and writing poems, drinking and discussing state affairs.
This Longyan Dynasty restaurant is equivalent to a European medieval cafe.
Here, everyone can express their opinions and even have free ideological games. No one cares about how you criticize or express shocking views when you drink here.
"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 strong smell of powder and wine. There were already some powderheads 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 can 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!"
Familiar recipe, familiar taste.
Liu Zheng was shocked when he heard this.
The man's vitality was instantly stimulated.
