The neighbor was stunned and quickly filled in Liu Huafeng's name.
I quickly wrote down ten names.
Lu Fang nodded lightly, counted ten coins and handed them to him, "Thank you for your hard work!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
The neighbor took the coin with confusion, scratched his head and stood away.
I really don’t understand. I only got ten copper coins?
This is his day's wages.
Fu'er couldn't help but asked, "Master, what on earth are you doing?"
Lu Fang just chuckled and did not answer.
As for the neighbors watching nearby, some of their eyes lit up.
You can really get money!
"Master Lu, can I also write one?"
Another person came forward with a shy face.
Lu Fang nodded straightly, "Chengchengcheng."
Then he asked Zhu'er to beat the gong while he continued shouting.
This intersection gradually became more and more lively.
It was just after the heavy rain, so many people chose to go out at this time to buy groceries, relax, etc. Listening to the commotion here and looking at the crowds surrounding the entrance of the inn, they couldn't help but come over to take a look at the excitement.
Naturally, more and more people are filling out questionnaires for Lu Fang.
Some people went back with copper coins, and even brought their children, wives, and parents with them.
Mr. Lu said, first come first served.
If you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard!
What could be easier to make money than this?
In less than half an hour, the few strings of copper coins that Lu Fang brought were empty.
The vendors setting up stalls around were all beaming with joy.
This trip was not in vain. Ten copper coins was much more than the money they earned from setting up a stall. It was a pity that they didn’t bring any family members with them.
There is already a thick pile of filled-in lists on the table, probably more than two hundred.
Lu Fang didn't feel bad at all for his son, who only had two taels of silver.
He asked Fu'er to play the gongs and drums again, and then he raised his hands to the onlookers and said: "I would like to ask all the neighbors to stay and bear witness. Let me see which ten young men are the most popular in Ningyuan County."
Welcome, young master, the pride of our Ningyuan young men!"
In fact, he had just noticed it.
The names written by these neighbors are all similar.
In the entire Ningyuan County, if you choose generals among short people, you can actually choose only so many people.
What made him quite amused was that even that uneducated guy Wang Sidong actually had a lot of votes.
It seems that the name of wealth is easier to remember than the name of talent.
Wang Sidong... is extremely wealthy...
Lu Fang glanced at some people in the crowd, and asked Fu'er to take a pen and paper to draw straight numbers and count. He took the questionnaire and read it out.
"Lu Fang, Liu Huafeng, Li Zhaonian..."
"Lu Fang, Wang Sidong..."
"Lu Fang..."
The first name on almost every questionnaire is him.
This made some people in the crowd look a bit ugly.
None of the neighbors left, but more and more people came together.
Idle time is also idle, and there is not much excitement in Ningyuan County. Lu Fang can be regarded as enriching their lives.
"Congratulations!"
After finishing counting the questionnaires, Lu Fang took the paper from Fu'er and suddenly raised his hand to someone in the crowd, "Mr. Liu, congratulations. You are very popular in our Ningyuan County!"
In the crowd, Liu Huafeng was accompanied by some scholars from Ningyuan and young men from wealthy families, with strange expressions on their faces.
He came here with others after hearing others say that Lu Fang was doing some kind of "Top Ten Young Masters" survey here. In fact, he had already been watching it for a long time.
But until now, he still didn't understand what Lu Fang was trying to do.
Could it be that he just wants the title of the top ten young masters of Ningyuan?
But what's the point?
How big is the area of Ningyuan County?
From now on, if you go out and say that you are the top ten young masters of Ningyuan, you will just want to be laughed at!
"Crack!"
Seeing that many people's eyes were focused on his face, Liu Huafeng put away his paper fan and pretended to say: "My neighbors, I am so proud of you. I am ashamed of myself."
Lu Fang chuckled and said: "Don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed. Mr. Liu, you are a judge and the son of the county magistrate. You deserve your title!"
Liu Huafeng's face was stiff.
Are you really fucking ashamed of me?
Can't you hear the kind words?
Lu Fang's eyes had already moved away from his face and fell on the face of Zhao Xiuyun next to him, "Master Zhao, congratulations. You are also on the list."
I have to say that Liu Huafeng is quite capable. During this period of time, he managed to win over many talented people and wealthy young men from Ningyuan.
Among these people, there are still many who used to be with Lu Fang. Now they have completely changed their background.
Zhao Xiuyun had a spring-like smile on his face, and he bowed his hands to the people around him in the same manner, "Thank you for your support."
He seemed to be somewhat content with himself.
His family background is just ordinary in Ningyuan County, and he is on the list only because of his talent.
He feels that he is the real deal on this list. He is only second to Liu Huafeng.
As for others, it is all due to their excellent family background.
Unfortunately, the neighbors around him didn't give Zhao Xiuyun much response. At most, they just nodded.
They just come to watch the fun and earn copper coins.
Zhao Xiuyun was somewhat embarrassed.
This is considered a charming look to a blind man.
Lu Fang then read out a few more names.
Among the top ten young masters, including himself, seven were actually present at the moment.
Lu Fang was secretly happy.
The sheep have been brought here, and now it’s time to gather the wool.
After he read out the last name of Li Zhaonian, he cupped his hands and said: "Dear neighbors, actually I have something else to do today. It has been raining a lot in Ningyuan recently. When I came back from Tanzhou City yesterday, there was some rain.
The water in the local area has spread to the knees. If this continues, there may be floods. Our county is high in terrain, so we don’t need to worry too much, but there is a possibility of flooding in the surrounding countryside. Everyone says to be prepared, so today
I would like to take this opportunity to shamelessly ask you for donations to prepare for the floods."
"Donate more or less, it all depends on your wishes."
Everyone around was stunned.
Fundraising for disaster relief?
This disaster has not come yet!
Someone said: "Master Lu, the rain has stopped. There shouldn't be any floods in Ningyuan County, right?"
Lu Fang smiled and said: "Of course I hope not, but the rain this year is a bit abnormal!"
"Don't worry, everyone. I will register every penny you donate. If there is a disaster, I will set up a merit monument for everyone after the disaster. If there is no disaster, the donations will be returned in full."
He raised his hands and said, "Thanks to your love, I am listed among the top ten young masters of Ningyuan. Today, I will shamelessly set an example and donate... one thousand taels!"
He took out ten hundred-tael banknotes directly from his pocket and placed them on the table.
Everyone around was stunned.
One thousand taels!
I'll be a good boy!
Mr. Lu is serious about this!
Is he just so sure that there will be a flood?
Or is it the instruction of the county magistrate?
"The hatred value from Liu Huafeng is 66!"
"The hatred from Zeng Xueyi is worth 55!"
"The hatred value from Zhao Xiuyun is 66!"
"..."
A wave of hatred value suddenly flashed across the screen in Lu Fang's head.
