Chapter 681 Quchifang
Early the next morning, it started to rain again.
There was a severe drought in Guanzhong last year. If the Ministry of Industry had not gone all out to build irrigation canals and various waterwheels, the people in the audience would have suffered a desperate year. The common people are not stupid, especially those in the capital. There are always various channels to get some secret information. For example, Fang Jun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Water Department of the Ministry of Works at the time, vigorously promoted waterwheels and the construction of water conservancy projects. Irrigation system…
If you pay, you will be rewarded.
The eyes of the common people are sharp. If an official bullies men and dominates women in the fish and meat village, although there is nothing they can do about him for a while, the common people will nail him to the pillar of shame in history and revil him from word of mouth, making him infamy for eternity.
Qin Hui, the great traitor of the Song Dynasty, did all the bad things in his life, but he ended up with a happy ending.
When he was alive, he had the emperor's protection and the people could not do anything to him, but after his death, what did the people do?
People from the Song Dynasty were ashamed of their name,
When I go to the grave, I feel ashamed to be named Qin!
For a nation that cares deeply about their reputation, this is simply a punishment worse than death!
The dirt on the tomb of the Grand Master spreads the stench all over the world!
Do you really think that the common people have nothing to do with those traitors who have all the power? No, they have more vicious punishments. They will accuse you for life and generations, and your descendants will scold you. Even if you die, your name will be infamy for thousands of years and you will suffer the whipping of your soul!
On the contrary, if you can do practical things for the people, they will remember you in their hearts and think of you forever...
Although Fang Jun's time at the Ministry of Industry was short, his reputation had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people due to his promotion of waterwheels, majoring in water conservancy, and his previous miracle of "making wind and rain". Therefore, his reputation among the people is completely opposite to that among officials. The people respect him, love him, praise him, and build a shrine for him! The officials hated him for not abiding by official rules and acting arbitrarily, and they gritted their teeth with hatred!
When Fang Jun's carriage headed to Quchifang to host the house sales ceremony in the gentle breeze and drizzle, the people on the road in twos and threes saw this gorgeous and dazzling carriage from a distance. They would always stand quietly on the side of the street, either paying attention or paying attention. They shouted "Well done Fang Erlang", or simply bowed to the ground and paid homage... These were the people who were obviously directly saved by Fang Jun's favor and survived.
Fang Jun in the carriage simply opened the window and let the drizzle fall into the carriage and wet his clothes. He smiled and waved to the people, feeling both sad and proud...
We have only done a few good deeds in our lives, and they will be remembered in the hearts of the people and we will be grateful. The people living in this land are so honest and simple. As long as a little kindness is given, they will always remember it in their hearts.
But those high-ranking bureaucrats always keep their eyes fixed on the top, racking their brains and using all their wisdom and dedication in order to "carry on the will of their superiors", but they never lower their heads to look at those humble people. People, give them even a little bit of enthusiasm...
This is true both in ancient and modern times.

It was drizzling, and the gate of Quchifang was closed tightly.
Since the construction started last year, a high square wall has been built first, hiding everything in Quchifang behind the square wall. It is difficult for outsiders to see the whole picture, which makes it even more curious. I don’t know that it was made by Fang Erlang. What does Quchifang look like?
Of course, few of the people who came to buy a house this time were interested in the quality of the houses in Quchifang...
Outside the square gate, hundreds of people were standing in the drizzle, waiting for the square gate to open.
Although the heads of the various aristocratic families did not come in person, they all sent important members of their families, which was enough to show that they valued Fang Jun. It is impossible not to pay attention to it. Everyone knows that being able to enter the newly formed navy is equivalent to achieving meritorious service. However, no one knows how many children from aristocratic families Fang Jun will recruit into the navy.
If it were anyone else, perhaps the quota for recruiting children from aristocratic families would be released due to pressure from aristocratic families.
But Fang Jun...
Who doesn't know that this is a big mallet that can eat soft things but not hard ones? If the new prince-in-law is offended, it is entirely possible that he will declare in anger that he will not recruit any children from the aristocratic family. This is a price that the aristocratic family cannot bear.
Why don't you take advantage of your merits and give them to the soldiers and civilians for nothing?
That kind of result is not what the family wants to see.
Being able to spend money to buy a house makes me happy, and by the way, I get a quota, which is completely acceptable to the wealthy families.
Nowadays, Fang Jun has a saying that has long been popular in Guanzhong, which is deeply believed by the hairpin disciples of the aristocratic family - anything that can be solved with money is not a problem!
So insightful...
Fang Jun's carriage arrived in front of the square gate. As soon as he opened the carriage door, someone gathered around him.
"Fang's Consort, I am the steward of the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County. Before His Highness the Prince left, he also told me that when I see Fang's Consort, I will invite you to a banquet at the mansion in the near future."
This was sent by Li Xiaogong to support the occasion. Fang Jun nodded with a smile.
To a certain extent, this is Fang Jun’s shilling to prevent unexpected events...
"Master Marquis, I am the steward of Fan Yanglu's family. The family leader is busy with family affairs and cannot come to Chang'an to pay a visit to the Prime Minister. He is very sorry, so he told me to go to the house to pay respects to the Prime Minister and my aunt on behalf of the family leader."
My mother’s family has sent people to join in the fun...
A few days ago, I heard my mother mention that there were five or six people from the Fanyang Lu family who came first in the imperial examination, and they all ranked at the top, and the mood in the clan was exciting. There are so many young people who are about to serve as officials in the capital. It is certain to buy real estate, and they can also help Fang Jun, which is two birds with one stone.
Fang Jun also had a smile on his face and exchanged some affectionate greetings.
There is nothing I can do, my mother is an uncle. Although I have never met the cheap uncles of the Lu family, and they have no feelings for me, I still have to give my mother some face and show a friendly and kind attitude in front of the Lu family...
The steward of the Lu family smiled so hard that the wrinkles on his face spread.
"The prince-in-law, the younger one belongs to the Boling Cui family..."
"Master Hou, this old slave belongs to the Pei family in Hedong..."
The greetings and smiling faces made Fang Jun confused for a moment.
They are all well-known aristocratic families. When did Fang Er become so influential that we could let these self-respecting wealthy families put down their dignity and come to support us? Did you underestimate the importance of the navy?
Or... do these guys want to have a good relationship with me and enter Jiangnan's business?
Fang Jun laughed and dealt with it, suddenly feeling enlightened.
It’s so damn unprofitable to start early... But if you want to take advantage of our second room, you have to be prepared for bloodletting first!
A group of house servants, clerks, and the leader of the "construction team", Liu Tianyang, the second son of the Liu family, were all waiting in front of the square gate. The secretary sent by Wannian County and the servants in charge of Quchifang were also there. When they saw Fang Jun, they all bowed respectfully.
Fang Jun waved his hand, and the servants stepped forward and opened the door.
After its completion, Quchifang was unveiled to outsiders for the first time.
As the gate of the square slowly opens, through the wider and wider cracks in the door, a beautiful picture seems to fall from the sky and rise from the ground, displayed in front of everyone.
Suddenly, I was amazed!
Behind the gate of the square, tall pear trees are blooming in the drizzle. Although they were transplanted last year, they are not in bloom this year, but the pear trees are all over the entire square, looking around. Strings of snow-white pear blossoms covered the entire branch. From a distance, it looked like there were only bunches of snow-white flowers. The small and broken flowers bloomed faintly against the branches in the misty rain. They were ethereal, quiet, and so beautiful. People are intoxicated!
The bluestone road, black tiles and white walls, each house looks like something you can only find in a picture scroll, neat and clean, spread along both sides of the spacious and flat street. The terrain in the square is not flat, but the buildings are well-proportioned according to the terrain, and the layout is unique.
It is drizzling, and the falling flowers are like snow. Integrated into one body, the cold fragrance reaches the sky. Light, tender and white, it makes your heart tremble. Scattered beads and broken jade are hanging like drops. The rustle trembles, the jasmine flowers fall...
Exquisite houses, drizzle, falling pear blossoms...
In the distance, the clear water of Qujiang Pond is rippling with misty waves, which is as poetic as picturesque.
Is this a neighborhood in Chang'an City?
This is simply more beautiful than the prince's mansion!
The wealthy families who originally planned to show their support to Fang Jun were suddenly conquered by the beautiful and poetic Quchifang in front of them, and their eyes turned red. Originally I just spent money to buy Fangjun to be happy, but now I suddenly found that I was convinced that the money was spent. How could I not be particularly surprised?
Fang Jun held an oil-paper umbrella in one hand, raised his hand in vain, and said with a smile: "Everyone, if you are interested in buying real estate in Quchifang, please come to me."
With that said, he walked towards the office where the workshop workers lived inside the workshop gate.
The fourth update remains the same, please vote for me! ! Bosses, please encourage me, I can’t hold on any longer@_@||||...
