Jiang Shi looked at Lu Fang meaningfully and said, "We haven't decided on the candidate yet."
Obviously, there is still room for mediation in this matter.
He was implicitly reminding Lu Fang that if he wanted to move around, he would have to hurry up.
Lu Fang felt slightly trembling and nodded.
It seems that I still have to go to Tanzhou to find Liang Siqi.
Liang Siqi is the only one who can talk about this matter now.
You can't let the Pan family get all the benefits, right?
No matter what, Liu Mao cannot be allowed to take advantage of this.
The carriage arrived at the temporary shelter outside the south of the city.
At this moment, the merit monument has been erected in the open space.
In fact, it is just an ordinary stone tablet, only two meters high and about half a meter wide.
There are many people around.
The most conspicuous among them are Wang Ye, Xu Zhilou and other members of these wealthy families. They stand closest to the stone monument, and their clothes and demeanor are clearly different from ordinary people.
There must be dozens of people.
In the past, unless it was a major event, it would have been rare for the wealthy families in Ningyuan County to gather together like this.
Then there are the people from Ningyuan County who came to watch the excitement, and the refugees from other counties who are still living in shelters.
It wasn't really a huge crowd, but there were probably a few hundred people there.
I just don’t know if there are any “fans” called by Lu Liang.
Naturally, there are already county government officials here to maintain order.
A wide avenue separated the crowd.
As the sound of gongs and drums spread, the scene naturally became lively.
Those standing on the periphery stood on tiptoe, looking around and rubbing shoulders.
The carriage team stopped ten meters away from the stone monument.
Lu Fang followed Lu Liang and Jiang Shi and got out of the carriage.
As soon as he looked ahead, he saw Wang Sidong blinking at him with a beaming look on his face.
Look at the stone tablet again.
This guy's name is clearly written at the top.
Wang Sidong, two thousand taels.
No wonder this guy is so motivated.
Further down is Xu Ruoyun, followed closely by Lu Fang's own name.
The number of donations at the end is a bit funny, one thousand one hundred and seventy-six taels. The number after his name is the longest.
It seems to be more conspicuous than Xu Ruoyun's.
Further down are the names of Zeng Xueyi, Li Zhaonian, Zhao Xiujun, and Liu Huafeng.
Liu Huafeng donated 500 taels, but Zeng Xueyi did not. The descendants of the wealthy family such as Li Zhaonian donated more. With his name photographed below, he is already very inconspicuous.
After the crowd left, he stood with Li Zhaonian, Zhao Xiujun and others, and his expressions were already ugly. Now when he saw Lu Fang and Lu Liang getting off Jiang Shi's carriage, their expressions became even more ugly.
All the credit goes to these two brothers!
"The hatred value from Liu Huafeng is 77!"
"The hatred value from Li Zhaonian is 44!"
"The hatred from Zeng Xueyi is worth 55!"
"..."
A group of people could not help but increase the hatred value for Lu Fang.
This made Lu Fang, who was originally feeling a little solemn because Lu Liang was about to be transferred to You County, suddenly grinned and felt like a spring breeze.
Not knowing how long he could stay in Ningyuan, Lu Fang felt that he should seize the opportunity to deal with these guys.
He suddenly pointed to the stone monument and shouted to Jiang Shi: "Master Governor, this is the monument of merit we have erected. You see, the people written on this monument are the people who donated money to Ningyuan to fight the disaster. Wang Sidong and Xu Ruoyun more
Everyone is setting an example and taking the lead in donating.”
Not even mentioning the names of Liu Huafeng and others.
In fact, it was Lu Liang who should have said this. However, Lu Fang was his brother, so of course Lu Liang would not say anything.
My younger brother has a lot on his mind right now, and there must be a reason for taking the initiative to talk to him.
"Uh-huh……"
Jiang Shi nodded and walked towards the stone monument with a smile on his face, "It's great to be able to take the initiative to raise funds in the face of a disaster."
Then he glanced around the crowd and asked, "Wang Sidong, is Xu Ruoyun here?"
Wang Sidong and Xu Ruoyun were standing together, but when they heard this, they walked out quickly.
"Wang Sidong, a grassroots man, has met the governor."
Wang Sidong looked carefree and proud.
"Xu Ruoyun, a citizen girl, has met the governor."
Xu Ruoyun is much more dignified and appears to be well-educated.
Jiang Shi nodded slightly again and said: "At such an age, you have such a big heart. You two are both very good. You should be an example for the people to follow."
Lu Liang and Lu Fang took the lead in applauding.
The crowd immediately burst into applause.
Wang Ye looked at it and couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. His son was really showing his face this time!
"Thank you, Lord Governor, for your love. This is what we should do."
Xu Ruoyun hurriedly replied. Looking at Wang Sidong's silly smile, he tugged Wang Sidong's sleeve again.
Wang Sidong was secretly happy. When he came to his senses, he quickly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Lord Governor."
"you……"
Jiang Shi was a little surprised when he saw the two of them being so intimate.
Lu Fang was busy and whispered: "They are already engaged and will get married soon."
"I see."
Jiang Shi chuckled and said, "What a rare good couple!"
Then he added: "When you get married, remember to send me a message. I will also come over to ask for a wedding drink."
Even Lu Fang was a little surprised when he said this.
Is Jiang Shi reciprocating the favor and "connecting" Yu Yuanwei's favor to him?
Can you tell that you are deliberately letting Wang Sidong and Xu Ruoyun show their faces?
This kind of old man in officialdom is really... fiery-eyed!
Wang Sidong and Xu Ruoyun were naturally even more surprised.
Wang Sidong was dumbfounded.
Xu Ruoyun was more reliable and generous than him, "We will definitely come to your door in person to invite the Governor."
"good."
Jiang Shi smiled.
Wang Ye and Xu Zhilou looked at each other in the crowd and unconsciously raised their chests.
It seems that I made the right choice to stand in Lu Fang's boat.
The surprise came so quickly.
Not to mention whether Jiang Shi will actually come when the time comes, just these words alone are enough to give them face.
As for the people from other houses nearby, their expressions were a bit complicated.
Damn it!
This Lu Fang only has a relationship with Yu Yuanwei, the princess, and the prince. Why does it seem that he is also involved with Mr. Futai now?
Is it really reliable for Liu Mao, who has only the support of the Pan family, to take the position of Ningyuan County Magistrate?
"The hatred value from Liu Mao is 88!"
"The hatred value from Liu Huafeng is 88!"
"From..."
Lu Fang collected another wave of hatred points.
It feels very refreshing.
The faces of Liu Huafeng and others turned dark.
Even Xu Ruoyun and Wang Sidong benefited, but they paid nothing but got nothing.
