Chapter 311: One meal and one porridge, it’s not easy to think about it!
Fang Keqin also found some form and introduced Fengyang in an endless stream.
Everyone was not stupid and listened carefully.
Arriving at the State Guesthouse, this place was designated by Zhu Jun specifically for welcoming guests.
"Everyone, take a rest first and have dinner together later. In the afternoon, we will go to the industrial park for inspection!" Fang Keqin said.
Everyone was very satisfied. The prefect of the first prefecture received him personally without any pretense, which gave them enough face.
Everyone took their cards and went to find their own rooms.
The same is true for Zhu Yuanzhang. The room is quite big and everything is well-equipped. "Fengyang has changed a lot. We just walked around and found that the folks are living a pretty good life."
"This is all your Majesty's credit!" Liu Ji said.
Zhu Yuanzhang half-smiled, "Is it really our credit?"
Liu Ji nodded without hesitation. To be honest, he felt very melancholy. After he resigned, Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow him to retire.
This time, he was brought to Fengyang.
Thinking of Wu Lang's incident, he was actually very nervous.
These two people would not survive, he was sure.
Then the next step is the case of suppressing property. Lao Zhu has never mentioned this matter, as if he did not intend to pick it up high and put it down gently. There must be a bigger turmoil behind this.
"If it was really our fault, would Wu Lang and Xue Yang still be arrested and taken to Beijing?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked rhetorically.
Liu Ji suddenly sweated on his forehead, "Your Majesty understands the sentiments of the people and it is Wu Lang and Wu Lang who are stupid and do not understand the true meaning!"
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled lightly, "These two bitches will never survive if they wantonly harm our fellow villagers. We are here this time to see how our sixth brother governs Fengyang, and to see if there are any problems!"
"His Royal Highness King Wu is compassionate and talented. He first saves all the people from fire and water, and then controls floods to protect the people's livelihood in Fengyang!
He is also a great virtuous king who can treat the virtuous and corporal officers well and send talents in any way."
"Really? Don't let that bastard hear this, or he will sneer in front of us again!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, feeling very happy.
To be honest, the information from the Archguard Bureau was indeed well written, but he wouldn't feel at ease unless he saw it for himself.
This guy is so fierce. He took Wu Lang and Xue Yang into custody as soon as he arrived. He also discovered the case of suppressing property and suppressed it with thunderous means.
We have saved thousands of people, controlled floods, and now we are starting to plan to develop people's livelihood.
This method is really impressive.
It actually fulfilled what he said before.
But there should be some shadow of the boss in it.
Liu Ji was slightly relieved. To be honest, he was also shocked by what Zhu Jun did.
He knew Fang Keqin well, he was the kind of person who would not be bent by the powerful.
But when he mentioned Zhu Jun, his gratitude and admiration came from the bottom of his heart.
And Fengyang, how could he not know what he was like in the past?
But now, despite all the prosperity, there is still a bit of ruin?
He couldn't help but wonder whether it was the prince or Zhu Jun himself who was behind this!
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door, "Dear guest, it's time to have your meal. Please move to the backyard!"
Zhu Yuanzhang responded, stood up and left the room.
Arriving at the backyard, everyone sat down separately. There was a lot of food and wine, but only Fang Keqin had a plate of vegetables, a bowl of soup and a small bowl of meat, and no wine. It was very simple.
Everyone was amazed.
Liu Ji said in a low voice: "We have a lot of fish and meat, but he has a clear soup and little water, so he has passed!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but said: "Prefect Fang, we are waiting for big fish and meat, how can we eat your green onions and tofu?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed.
Seeing that someone wanted to share some dishes with Fang Keqin, Fang Keqin explained repeatedly: "This is a meal and drink at public expense. You are guests, so naturally you should eat better."
My soup and meat are in line with the standards of the prefecture's yamen.
If I am a big fish, then I have made a mistake. Thank you for your kindness!"
"Prefect Fang, rules are dead and people are alive. We can't finish all these, so what if we give them to you?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued.
Fang Keqin smiled and said, "I am the head of a government. I eat a little today and a little tomorrow. Over time, it is a huge expense.
It's not greedy for ink, it's better than greedy for ink.
It’s not that our Kachin side is incorruptible and doesn’t know how to live in harmony with the light.
In the future, Fengyang will attract more investment, and businessmen from all over the world will come here.
There will be more food and drinks at public expense. If I can't set an example, how much money and money will be wasted by those people in the prefect's yamen in the future eating and drinking?
Letting you eat and drink well is the etiquette of the host, so you don't have to worry about it.
His Highness the King of Wu once said, a porridge and a meal, when you think about the difficult place where you came from; half a thread, a constant thought about the difficulty of material resources!
You may not know that I often visit the surrounding areas, and His Highness the King of Wu often does the same. Sometimes when there is no time to eat, the King of Wu will order people to bring dry food, just this cold water, and this is a meal.
If the King of Wu is like this, how can I, a low-ranking official, not follow suit?"
When everyone heard this, they all praised Fang Keqin for his honesty.
Only Liu Ji took a breath of cold air and muttered: "One porridge and one meal, when you think about the difficulty of getting there; half a thread, half a thread, always think about the material difficulties!"
Is this what King Wu can say?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased. A good boy now knows how to lead by example.
Hearing others praise themselves is nothing, but when others praise you, that is real praise.
He squinted his eyes, feeling very happy.
Not only was Fang Keqin's honesty and self-discipline impressive, but he was also proud of being a father.
Even the food that comes to your mouth is extra sweet.
After the meal, Fang Keqin rested for a while and then took everyone to inspect the industrial zone in the north of the city. The industrial zone had been planned and the roads were well built.
Everyone looked at the factory standing over there and kept nodding.
"The northern part of the city is in an excellent location, close to the Huaihe River. Water transportation is extremely convenient, saving time and effort, and can greatly save transportation costs."
Fang Keqin pointed to the river embankment not far away, "Look, the embankment over there is under construction. In the future, it will be raised to five feet high and three feet wide. The ground will be filled with sand and gravel, wooden piles will be driven in, and then huge stones will be used to build it.
Finally, it was poured with cement that is harder than Sanhe soil. There will be absolutely no risk of dam failure within fifty years.
During the dry season every year, river channels are regularly cleaned to prevent sediment accumulation on the river bottom."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they looked at the section of the river embankment that had been built, "Master Fang, can you go up the embankment?"
"Of course!" Fang Keqin smiled and led everyone up the embankment.
The river below was rushing and lapping against the embankment, making no impression.
Zhu Yuanzhang stamped his feet vigorously, "The shock made our feet numb!"
Liu Ji's eyes were complicated because he saw that the other side of the river bank had also built a dam!
Everyone stood on the river embankment and was shocked that such a huge project was completed in more than a month.
Chapter completed!
