"Lao Zhu, our Lord is diligent in love and care, and has always been considerate of the people. Don't worry. Although you are not from Qinghe, you are not the Lord ruling the people."
"But since you are living in Qinghe, adults will definitely take care of you. Look, your treatment in the workshop has been greatly improved."
"As for other restrictions, adults have no choice but to impose them. You have to understand."
Gongsun Cai warned him sincerely.
In fact, he didn't understand Kong Fang's attitude towards the bandits, because in his eyes, they were all heinous and deserved to be executed!
Later, they were sent to work in a cement workshop by Kong Fang. He thought it was just Kong Fang who wanted to extract the last value from them. However, Zhu Cao died in an accident, and Kong Fang not only gave him a good coffin, but also gave him one hundred taels of silver as compensation.
He also ordered the bandits to be lifted from their handcuffs and ankles, freed them, improved their food, and paid them wages.
Gongsun Chai couldn't understand this operation again.
Only when Zhu Gouzi said these heartfelt words did he understand Kong Fang's good intentions. The great man often talks about the equality of all living beings. He believes that in the beginning, human beings are inherently good.
The bandits were doing evil, and he led his troops to destroy them.
Because they do evil, they deserve to be punished!
His openness to the remnants of the bandits who laid down their butcher's knives reflects his respect for life; his efforts to reform them reflect his firm belief that human nature is inherently good.
As it turns out, the adults were right.
As expected, these remnants of the once heinous mountain bandits suddenly woke up. He was deeply impressed by Kong Fang's original intention and methods.
Butler Fang was a participant in the entire bandit transformation process. He witnessed everything, from the bandits' initial resistance to their subsequent obedience and finally their gratitude to Kong Fang.
He was also filled with admiration for his uncle's mind and means.
Speaking of Zhu Gouzi, Gong Yangchang's words convinced him that he was right. He bowed his head and bowed again: "This master is right. My fellows and I deeply feel the kindness of Master Kong. I have no other ability. As long as we have the strength, we will only repay Lord Kong’s kindness in our own way.”
"Lao Zhu, I'm glad that you can return to the right path. Life is long and the days ahead are long. Let's go ahead and cherish it."
Kong Fang also spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
In fact, by burying Zhu Cao generously, caring for Zhu Gouzi, and improving the treatment of bandits, he was just doing what a modern boss should do. He just didn't want to be scolded as a black-hearted capitalist.
He didn't expect that buying the remnants of the bandits for his own personal gain would have such a miraculous effect.
To be honest, he never thought they would change so quickly and completely, or in other words, he never thought they would change.
They may be imprisoned in a cement workshop for their entire lives, contributing their last bit of value to him, and then...
Then no.
He thought that since things had jumped out of the original script, let it develop along new plot lines.
Perhaps, this is what readers like to hear.
There was a lot of noise outside the gate, and what was even more outrageous was that there were chickens flying and sheep jumping around, and there were quite a few people who heard the noise.
What's going on?
Outside the door is the People's Square under construction. Its design function is a place for leisure, gathering, and entertainment, not a livestock trading market.
Butler Fang was also puzzled and his eyes fell on Gongsun Chai. Gongsun Chai patted his forehead and said, "Oh, look at my brain, how could I forget such an important thing."
He turned to Kong Fang.
"Sir, it's actually like this. Some people heard that the kiln chicken you cooked is very delicious and is a must-have in Daxing Dynasty. Everyone also wants to try it. No, I don't know who came up with the idea. When the People's Square is about to be built, just make it The Wanmin Kiln Chicken Banquet is held here to deepen the relationship between the government and the people, and to celebrate the start of the construction of the People's Square."
Kong Fang scratched his head when he heard this.
He knew how to make a chicken kiln, but with such a huge project as the Wanmin Kiln Chicken, he was worried that he would die from trying.
Gongsun Chai seemed to see through his mind and said with a smile:
"My lord, you only need to guide me from the side, and they will do the other things. My lord, don't you always insist on equality between the government and the people, and have fun with the people? They are waiting for you!"
Old slippery man!
He actually used the provoking method!
Kong Fang tapped Gongsun Chai with his fingers in the air. He had a hundred reasons to believe that Wanmin Kiln Chicken was his bad idea.
But I like it!
Fine. Brother, please bring a pen and paper, and I will tell you the spices needed to kiln the chicken and roast the lamb. You can go to the pharmacy to buy them in person later, and the cost will be included in the county government’s public expenses.
Gongsun Chai happily accepted the order.
"Steward Fang, you can stay too. You can take Lao Zhu down first to take a bath, change clothes, and join the Wanmin Kiln Chicken together."
"Okay." Butler Fang responded.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Gouzi knelt down again, put his head to the ground, and said with tears in his voice: "Zhu Gouzi thanks you for your kindness, but I am ashamed of the people of Qinghe, and I will never dare to take advantage of them! I will not participate in the Wanmin Kiln Chicken Banquet. ”
"Sir, you are right. Life is long and the days ahead are long. When we have completely changed our minds, we will have fun together with the people of Qinghe!"
"..."
Kong Fang thought for a while and decided to fulfill his wish.
Butler Fang took Zhu Gouzi away from the back door and returned to the cement workshop.
Kong Fang called Kong Yiji and they walked out of the county office together.
The square was crowded and busy. Some were killing chickens, some were slaughtering sheep, and some were setting up a rack for roasting sheep... Kong Fang suddenly became interested and rolled up his sleeves.
Because of his appearance, the square became more lively, the crowd was noisy, and the cries of chickens and sheep became even more fierce.
There happens to be loess land under the square, which is very suitable for kiln chicken.
He was very busy when a burst of rapid hoofbeats suppressed the noise of people. Everyone looked up and saw Fang Shiqing leading the way, followed closely by a group of county soldiers on horseback.
what happened?
Everyone looked at each other.
Fang Shiqing was also baffled when he saw the scene in front of him.
She heard in the barracks that many people flocked to the county government office and they behaved very strangely. Some bring chickens and sheep, while others bring knives and hoes.
If she only brought chickens and sheep, Fang Shiqing would be too lazy to care. But when she heard that someone was carrying a knife, she became uneasy.
The man in the county government office is a Tang monk in the eyes of the world, how dare she take it lightly! So she immediately brought a team of county soldiers and hurried over.
Then, she saw Kong Fang rolling up his sleeves and trouser legs, and he was enthusiastically teaching the people to dig the ground.
Damn it, what does he want to do?
Want to open up wasteland and farm in front of the county government office?
What does this chicken, sheep, bowl and ladle mean?
She jumped off the horse and pulled Kong Fang aside, "What are you doing?"
"Kiln chicken." Kong Fang was very happy.
Because he could see from Fang Shiqing's eyes that she really cared.
Kiln chicken?
I love your sister...
Fang Shiqing wanted to whip him with a whip.
Why didn't you tell me in advance that you wanted a chicken? This made me break into a cold sweat!
"Madam, I thought I'd let you know when the chicken kiln is ready, so you can eat it ready-made." Kong Fang looked so mean and deserved a beating.
Her expression suddenly changed.
"Why don't Ximen Feixue follow you?"
