Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 80 "Cleaning Battle" in Qixia Town

Of course there is a reason for the Lou Zhi County to be so excited. It has written in detail about the street cleaning of Qixia Town and even the entire county and the renovation plan for beggars in the jurisdiction.

It can be said that as long as this plan is completed, there will be no more beggars in the entire county. The environment in the streets will also be tidy. These are not the most important. The most important thing is that he is the only county governor in Daimyo that has no beggars in the county. And in the long run.

If the previous plan was only for Lou Zhi County merit test judges, the successful implementation of this plan would clear away all obstacles in the way of Lou Zhi County's ascension.

Lou Zhixian discussed with Zhang Chen in detail with excitement, and finally finalized the action after two hours of continuous discussion and revision of the plan.

Unexpectedly, this discussion lasted for two hours. Now that the plan was almost finalized, Zhang Chen didn't intend to stay any longer, so he raised his hands and fisted to say goodbye. Lou Zhixian invited him to have lunch with a smile, but Zhang Chen didn't have the heart The middle-aged man kept refusing to eat and still had things to do. As long as Lou Zhixian said goodbye with regret, he would definitely eat here next time.

Saying goodbye to Lou Zhi County and saying hello to Xing Butou in Qianya, Zhang Chen walked back to the inn, and just approached the inn when he heard Xiao Liu rushing out of the house, Zhang Chen stopped Xiao Liu and asked curiously:

"Xiao Liu, didn't you go to the inn to have a big meal? What time is it? Why are you still in the inn?"

Yan Xiaoliu complained with an aggrieved face:
"After you left, I planned to go to the inn to eat something good to reward myself, but after a while, my master ran back and asked me to patrol the street excitedly. No way, I came to the inn to order food just after patrolling the street. I didn't expect to roast chicken As soon as I came up, I asked Xiaomi to get two chicken legs..."

Zhang Chen looked at the aggrieved Xiaoliu who hadn't spoken yet, and Xiaomi, who was sitting at the corner of the street eating chicken legs, swallowed the chicken legs with difficulty and said:
"Zhang Chen! That's no wonder I'm the one who doesn't have enough quality in his heart. He's like this before I finish talking..."

Yan Xiaoliu was annoyed by Xiaomi's upright look and rushed out with the knife in his arms, because he knew that Xiaomi was telling the truth and the chicken legs were indeed thrown out by himself, and it would be inappropriate to compare the truth with a beggar. Had to run away angrily.

Looking at Xiao Liu's figure, Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly, so he had no choice but to turn to Xiaomi, intending to criticize him and discuss something with him.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Xiaomi angrily standing at the door of the inn complaining about something, Zhang Chen stepped forward and patted Xiaomi on the shoulder and said:

"Why is Xiaomi so angry, didn't he just eat two chicken legs?"

Xiaomi pointed to the scholar in the house and said:
"Scholars actually compete with beggars for food. I don't know that eating alone is going to kill you."

Zhang Chen looked at everyone in the room and nodded to show that Xiaomi was not lying. Bai Zhantang sent a voice transmission to Zhang Chen Nei Li to indicate that Xiucai was still collecting leftover rice today. Zhang Chen nodded slightly and said to Xiaomi:

"Xiaomi is our fault this time, I just have something to ask you, how about I treat you to a good meal?"

Seeing this, Xiaomi proudly stepped into the door and said to everyone in the room:
"I heard that Zhang Chen invited me in. I came in. Dazui was helping me get a roast chicken. I just finished eating it. I didn't enjoy it. Laobai, do you have chrysanthemum tea? It's fine without chrysanthemum Pu'er, don't watch! stand up…"

After hearing Xiaomi's request, everyone stared at Xiaomi with sharp eyes, startled him and turned to look at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen helplessly motioned for him to eat first before doing anything.

After seeing Zhang Chen's reply, everyone went to work. After Bai Zhantang gave him the Pu'er that Xiaomi asked for, he turned around and came to Zhang Chen's side to indicate with his eyes how things are going.In the morning, he pointed to Xiaomi who was drinking tea and said:

"I've already negotiated with Louzhi County, and now I just need to know how many beggars there are in our county. The person in front of us is a representative of the beggar gang in Qixia Town."

Bai Zhantang touched Zhang Chen's shoulder with a smile and said:

"It still needs to be you! Such a big plan can be completed, but there is one more thing that needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Xiucai is a little crazy now. Today, he not only wants to take the leftovers from the guests. There are several times when he almost took the dishes that the guests are eating. Walk…"

Seeing that there were not many guests in the hall, Zhang Chen said to Bai Zhantang:
"Anyway, there aren't many guests. Let's go upstairs to my room for a small meeting. As the plan has been implemented, let's tell brother Xiucai to rest assured and stop making those leftovers."

Seeing that Bai Zhantang agreed with Zhang Chen to let Xiaomi eat and wait for him to talk now, then he gathered everyone in the upstairs room and told everyone about the plan to discuss with Louzhi County in detail. Xiucai's eyes turned red when he heard that everyone came up with the plan to help him Thank you to everyone.

Seeing the scholar's red eyes, everyone was a little uncomfortable. After all, the scholar used to act like a literati and never behaved like this, but he returned to normal under Guo Furong's gag.

The scholar who returned to normal looked at the plan in front of him seriously and couldn't help sighing again, "Da Ze can benefit the world. I must participate in Xiao Chen's action. The ancestors will be happy if they know about it. After all, it can solve their fundamental problems better than simple charity." question"

Seeing that Xiucai's problem was solved, Zhang Chen didn't stay too long, and let everyone continue to discuss the implementation of the plan. He turned and went downstairs to ask Xiaomi about the number of beggars and refugees in the county. It is because not all beggars can become disciples of the beggar gang like Xiaomi, and can live a dignified life. Who would like to be a beggar?
After getting the detailed quantity from Xiaomi, Zhang Chen made an estimate and a map of the streets and jurisdictions in the county appeared in his mind, and he was relieved. Fortunately, under the governance of Louzhi County, there are not too many beggars and refugees, otherwise there would really not be so many locations. them.

Following the tense arrangements in the afternoon, early the next morning, I heard Xing Tutou beating the gongs and drums and loudly announcing the good governance of Louzhi County. To achieve a clean and tidy living environment in Qixia Town, it is necessary to prepare for the leveling of roads and the establishment of public toilets. Everyone actively cooperates.

Secondly, in order to take care of those poor families, the county government specially hired them this time to clean up the streets and public toilets to help them find work, letting people know that Daming did not give up on any of its people.

Also, the town did not set up a nursing home before, but with the support of Louzhi County, it has been looking for a place to build a nursing home to provide shelter for the lonely elderly and wandering orphans in the county.

Finally, the county government will build official roads connecting the surrounding villages to the town, so that people from the surrounding villages can travel to and from the town more conveniently, so that more vendors can carry goods with them, and other measures.

As Xing Butou issued these decrees to the street, people in the street are talking about the impact on themselves, and the vendors are happy that the roads are smoother and the streets are cleaner. These are all things that are beneficial to them. The family members had hope of survival, and the orphans wandering on the streets and the old people waiting to die in the abandoned courtyard knelt down to thank the county government with tears in their eyes.

For the next half month, Xiucai was helping the county government to sort out the files. Although he could not help others on the spot, Xiucai was full of heart. He thought that his ancestors would be relieved if they knew about his actions.

In Zhang Chen's eyes, these should have been done as a parental official, but seeing Lou Zhixian's excited expression after he came up with the plan, Zhang Chen knew that you should not expect too much from their ability to govern, and Lou Zhi County is already rare. A good official with great ability, because he wanted to make a change, he was excited after seeing Zhang Chen's plan.

As expected, the cleanliness of the street has improved in half a month, and the number of pedestrians wandering on the street has also increased a lot, especially the person wearing a gray coat with the words "road sanitation" embroidered on the back cleaning the street. Chen couldn't help showing nostalgia. The rest of the government orders hadn't shown results due to time constraints, but it was not bad to go to the county government a few days ago to see Lou Zhixian's happy expression.

　Thanks for the support!
