The rise of the prince

Chapter 419

He then smiled and said: "Don't be so serious, the king didn't ask you to come here to fight, and there is nothing dangerous, just some simple things for you to do."

"My lord, but I have shown you that my brothers will go through fire and water without hesitation!" All the leaders said, and many soldiers agreed with high spirits. After all, King Pingnan is like a god of war in the eyes of everyone. In the First World War, he was so famous that everyone in Jingguo knew about it. When these soldiers saw him, they felt like they were idols.

Li Xingzhou laughed, waved his hands and said, "You don't need to go through fire and water, the baskets given to you are for storing pickled and filthy things.

Someone will arrange the order for you later, centering on the mountain villa where I am standing, one person at each street intersection, and two to three people at crowded intersections.

You stand there with the baskets by your side, nothing else but one purpose, loudly reminding the supervisors of the people and merchants passing by, that all pickles should not be discarded at will, they must be put in the box, and brought back for unified disposal in the afternoon.If someone does not listen, you are allowed to use force! "

As soon as these words came out, all the Xiang soldiers were stunned, and they were asked to wear swords and armor, but in the end it was just to supervise the people throwing rubbish into baskets?Isn't this killing a chicken with a sledgehammer
Many soldiers of the Xiang army were discussing, Li Xingzhou said loudly: "Do you understand!"

"Understood!" Everyone fell silent at once.

"This king knows that you are puzzled and unwilling, but you are the regular army of our country, the sword of the country, and the vanguard of the world. The difference between the so-called elite and the mob is that the elite will always obey orders and have strict discipline! "Li Xingzhou was reasonable, but also put a high hat on these Xiang soldiers without any trace. When everyone heard this, they stopped discussing and stood quietly.

"My king's military order has been issued. All you have to do is execute it perfectly! Don't ask other questions." He said and added: "In the future, for all the soldiers who enter the city, the two meals will be arranged by the king. Someone will remind you at noon or afternoon You guys, come here to receive food at that time, understand."

"Understood!" Everyone answered in unison.

Li Xingzhou nodded, and then asked a few yamen servants to lead the way. It was dawn, and many soldiers with knives and armor set off to stand guard at various intersections.

Later, at dawn, more than 180 female workers also set off led by the yamen servants.

They have only one job, and that is to clean, centering on the villa, and cleaning the streets and walls of Jiangzhou.

Wang Ke looked at the crowd starting work, frowned and shook his head: "My lord, please be blunt, what's the use of this? The security in Jiangzhou is now cleaned up in the morning, and it will be full of pickle and filth by noon. What's the use of it, but it's a waste Thinking, put the cart before the horse."

Li Xingzhou said indifferently: "If it's dirty, just sweep it again. Anyway, we sweep it twice a day. If they throw it away, we will sweep it."

Wang Ke was speechless, with a sad face, and dared not speak.

He patted the old man on the shoulder: "Don't just stare blankly, take my 200 people to dig a big hole in the back mountain, wait for the Xiang army to take back the garbage in the afternoon, put it there, deal with it uniformly, and burn it if you can."

"Is it going to take so much trouble?" Wang Ke clapped his hands.

Li Xingzhou nodded: "That's right, do as I say."

"My lord, this won't work. This law is of no use to treat the symptoms but not the root cause." Wang Ke was so anxious that he was about to cry.

He ignored it, and just continued to ask Wang Ke to do it. Although the old man finally followed his request, his face was full of sadness, and he was almost crying.

In the afternoon, Wang Tong also issued an official notice, posting it everywhere, requesting that the people of Jiangzhou not throw away garbage at will, not defecate anywhere, and all pickled waste must be thrown into the baskets placed by the government.

There was an uproar in Jiangzhou for a while, and in the early morning, the government began to sweep the streets and erase the dirt on the walls, which attracted countless people to laugh.

As soon as the street was cleaned, someone threw rubbish again, and someone smeared and wrote on the walls. Xiang Jun caught a few and beat them, but the effect was not great.However, after cleaning in the morning, the streets became dirty again at noon, and even the government's official notices were torn away.

This action by the government has become a laughing stock in the eyes of the common people, and people will joke about it when they see it, and restaurants and teahouses also talk about it, and there is laughter, full of joy.

Wang Ke shook his head again and again, Xie Linjiang also looked puzzled, he didn't understand what the prince wanted to do, or it was just a problem with Dangchun's thinking.

On Wang Tong's side, Li Xingzhou had already greeted him and discussed with him.

It was torn up at noon, and the government posted a notice in the afternoon. Li Xingzhou's side was dirty in the afternoon, and they sent people out to clean it again in the evening.

And the working girls don't think that the prince is stupid. They only know that if they do work, they will get paid. They are all women from poor families. They work hard and work twice a day, which is nothing to them.

That night, Xiang Jun took back the garbage and took it to the back mountain to dispose of it. After dinner and meat at Tubi Mountain Villa, he went back to the camp happily.

The next day, it was business as usual.

In the morning, a large group of workers and women cleaned the street walls, and Xiang Jun stood at the corner with a knife, forcing the people not to litter.

Then the street became dirty and messy after a while, and at dusk, King Pingnan took the trouble to send someone out to clean it
All kinds of official notices from the government advising the people to keep clean are also stuck and torn, torn and pasted again, anyway, it takes a lot of trouble.

In just two days, the officials and the common people in Jiangzhou City were all in a state of confusion. What exactly is King Pingnan going to do? Could it be something wrong with his brain?
A few days passed, and Li Xingzhou went his own way every day.

Public opinion from the outside world was fierce, and everyone laughed and said that King Pingnan was stupid. Some people even wrote nursery rhymes to make fun of him and let the children sing along the street.

In the past few days, Wang Ke talked to him several times in a row, and every time he was heartbroken and very worried, and told him a lot of reasoning.

It is nothing more than the fact that what he did was harmless and useless. The so-called culprit must be punished. Only by solving the root cause of the problem can the Jiangzhou problem be completely solved. He has been wasting his efforts in vain to clean up for a living.
Li Xingzhou refused every time.

He is committed to continuously improving the living standards of Xiangjun and female workers who come to help, such as allowing them to have meat every other day.

Although the outside world shakes their heads when they mention Pingnan King's actions, the morale of the Xiang army is high, the female workers are active in their work, and the number has expanded to more than 300. They will clean up Jiangzhou City twice a day, morning and evening.

The center of the street, the corners of the walls, and those painted with dirt and charcoal paint on the walls will be wiped clean.

Xie Linjiang is still young and not as assertive as Wang Ke, so he is even less resistant, but he is also very puzzled by his actions.

When Jiangzhou people, scholars, craftsmen, businessmen, and tourists were laughing at him, many officials were silent. Li Xingzhou understood that many officials wished that they were fools. Do something stupid again.
