Chapter 1271 Lantern Festival

Time will not stop because of someone or something, and it will always pass by bit by bit in an orderly manner. In this small dispute, the Mid-Autumn Festival has quietly arrived.

All households hung festive red lanterns and prepared a sumptuous supper, ready to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Drum Tower is the time-reporting building of this era and the most important source for the people to obtain the time.

Because of its obvious landmark function, the area here is easily a market, and it is the most lively place in the north of the city and even the entire Beijing city. Many people may not know where the Shuntian Prefecture is, but if he doesn't even know where the Drum Tower is

The side must be deaf.

At noon, control was implemented here, and no one could enter here again.

All the servants of Shuntian Prefecture were dispatched. The merchants could no longer continue to place randomly, but placed the stalls neatly and orderly, and hung a special festive lantern.

Although some complaints from the merchants, more merchants still cooperated obediently. After all, these matters have been communicated well. As for those merchants who have not registered in advance, they were directly invited to leave here, and everything here belongs to Shuntian Prefecture.

Under jurisdiction.

Soon, there were no traces of the people in the streets here, only neat stalls.

Until afternoon, several official sedan chairs suddenly arrived here together.

Lin Weiran, dressed in scholarly clothes, came to the Drum Tower in a sedan chair, and behind him were many officials from Shuntian Prefecture. Almost all the officials from Shuntian Prefecture Organ gathered here.

"Sir, is this really feasible?"

After getting off the sedan chair, Li Tong gathered at Lin Weiran, but looked at the empty streets but was worried.

Punishment Lei Tong and others also turned their heads and looked at Lin Weiran. Although the headlight meeting had not officially begun, they had no idea what would happen next.

Especially this time, Lin Qingran used up to 1,000 taels of treasury to buy fireworks, which was undoubtedly a risk. Once things did not meet expectations, they would probably face a political risk.

"This matter will definitely be accomplished, and even if it doesn't happen!" Lin Weiran said firmly as he looked at the empty street in front of him.

Punishment Lei Tong and others exchanged glances. Although they felt Lin Weiran's firm persistence in success, they could not help but feel some hidden worries in their hearts.

It was at this moment that something came from behind.

Punishment Lei Tong and others were puzzled and turned their heads to look at the falling sedan chair, but they didn't know who was here.

"Prefect Lin, don't be fine!"

Xu Fan walked out of the sedan chair, but smiled and said hello.

Huh?

When Lei Tongzong and others saw Xu Fan appear, their eyebrows frowned slightly. It was obvious that the other party was not kind. After all, everyone knew that their prefect had already had a gap with the Xu family.

"Have you met Prefect Lin!"

The left deputy censor Chen Jinian followed behind Xu Fan and greeted with a smile.

"Xu Shaoqing, Chen Jingshi, why are you two free to be here?" Lin Qianran looked at Xu Fan and Chen Jijie appearing here, bowing and bowing as usual.

Although Chen Jinian is the third-rank left deputy chief censor, he is willing to surrender to Xu Fan. Xu Fan looked at the empty street in front of him and said gloatingly: "I heard that Prefect Lin is holding a headlight meeting here,

I didn’t even spend a thousand taels to buy fireworks, so I came over and took a look!”

Lin Qianran immediately understood that Xu Fan wanted to come and see him for a joke, but raised his hand and said with a smile: "Since Xu Shaoqing is so elegant and the time has come, let's go upstairs and watch together!"

"Very good!" Xu Fan looked at Lin Qingran with a smile, and was already sure that Lin Qingran was about to fall into trouble.

Although he heard that Lin Qingran was very smart and had the ability to turn stones into gold. He just heard that he used 1,000 taels of fireworks to buy headlights, while he felt incredible, he also found the opportunity to step on Lin Qingran to death.

That's why he didn't plan to watch the moon at home, but came to the north of the city to see how Lin Weiran burned 1,000 taels, and then explained this inappropriate move to the court.

The group of people had their own thoughts and soon arrived at the Drum Tower.

Lin Qingran led the officials to look down and easily saw the streets below. Although the merchants were still busy soon, the streets were empty and looked so depressed.

"Prince Lin, the scenery here is pretty good!"

Xu Fan stood on the drum tower, enjoying the scenery with his hands behind his back. Looking at the empty streets, he felt indescribable comfort in his heart, and he liked to watch the scene of heavy thunder and small raindrops.

"If Xu Shaoqing likes this place, come here more in the future!" Lin Qingran replied with a smile.

Xu Fan glanced at Lin Xianran contemptuously, but a sneer in his heart. When he saw this scene, although he didn't know what Lin Xianran sold in his gourd, he must have been trapped in this huge headlight meeting today.

"Mr. Prefect, the time is here!"

Not long after, Captain Zhang came to the front and saluted respectfully.

Lin Weiran's eyes fell on the street under the setting sun, and immediately issued a loud command and said, "Ring the drum."

Lin Weiran is a marketing agent and now he regards this event as a marketing plan. Whether it is the promotion of the headlights or the gimmick of the headlights, these factors have been taken into consideration by him.

The situation in the capital is different from that in Leizhou Prefecture and Guangzhou Prefecture. There is actually no shortage of silver here, but what is missing is actually flow.

By the way, it’s a lazy day in a hot town. The sun is high and the streets are no one. Everyone is in debt and lives on credit.

At this time, a wealthy traveler came from another place. He entered a hotel, took out a 1,000 yuan note and placed it at the counter, saying that he wanted to check out the room first and choose a suitable room for overnight stay.

Just as the man went upstairs, the shop owner grabbed the 1,000 yuan bill and ran to the butcher next door to pay the meat he owed.

The butcher got 1,000 yuan and crossed the road to pay the pig farmer's capital. The pig farmer took 1,000 yuan and went out to pay the feed he owed. The man who sold the feed got 1,000 yuan and hurried to pay the money he summoned.

The prostitute's money. With 1,000 yuan, the prostitute rushed to the hotel and paid the house she owed. The hotel owner hurriedly put the 1,000 yuan on the counter to avoid the passengers being suspicious when going downstairs. At this time, the man was going downstairs.

Come, pick up 1,000 yuan, claiming that there is no one that is satisfied with it, he put the money in his pocket and left...

On this day, no one produced anything, and no one got anything, but the debts of the whole town were cleared, and everyone was very happy.
