Chapter 2036 Group Wedding ([-])

"What harvest?" Wang Jun asked curiously.

"This harvest means nothing to you, but Daoist Cui..." He pouted his lips towards Cui Hantang, "I'm going to be so happy."

Having said that, Wang Jun's interest was aroused, and he was about to ask further questions.The sound of firecrackers became more and more intense, and the observation post at the door sent a signal: newcomers have entered the venue.

Seeing this signal, Wen Desi was the first to stand up and started applauding.This action caught everyone off guard.So the elders quickly stood up and applauded.All the naturalized people and indigenous representatives in the venue applauded, and the applause was thunderous for a while.The "March of Unity and Friendship" began to play on the loudspeaker.The arrangements have been made long ago, and people throw colorful confetti from the top of the Bell Tower and the Great World Building against the wind. The confetti flutters like snowflakes, and there are candies in between. Confetti and candy, there was joy inside and outside the stadium.

The newcomers entered the arena amidst all the attention, and this was probably the most glorious moment in their lives.

The people onlookers were all elated—they had never seen such a dreamlike scene before.Even the well-informed and well-informed gentry were shocked by the spectacular scene created by this wedding company.More than one person secretly sighed in his heart: "It's too extravagant!"

For Fang Fei, this ostentation is really not enough--the façade of the big world he set off is too rustic and not "majestic" or "gorgeous".

Li Suiqiu was silently watching the wedding scene not far away.In fact, the Great World is not far from his family's Bieye outside the Great East Gate.What's more, there are still small trains now.Last night he lived in Bieye, and then sent a few servants to take up positions outside the Great World to watch.

He naturally knew that as long as he went to talk to Cui Hantang, there would naturally be a seat for him in the "VIP area" in the arena.Those local bigwigs who have defected to the Australians are now sitting on hard benches, all of them are beaming, as if they are sitting in the clouds - quite a few of these people are his old acquaintances, and some are from Guangzhou. Aristocratic families and old clans; some families have relatives who are officials in the Ming Dynasty, but they all look like Conglong upstarts.

In the world, the word "fame and fortune" really wears people's hearts away!Since Li Suiqiu met Cui Hantang, he became more anxious.Cui Hantang's words actually moved him quite a bit: the disputes and unrest in this world are nothing more than the poor and bitterness of the people.He has read history books well, and he knows that the change of dynasties is mostly due to the merger of land and land.The same is true of Daming today, the people are in dire straits and can only take risks—even if there were no thieves, Daming would still be in jeopardy now.

If Australians really have the ability to "increase productivity" as Taoist Cui said, wouldn't the thousands of years of "destruction-establishment" cycle be broken?Living and working in peace and contentment is no longer a dream.

However, when he thought about it again, he felt that Cui Daochang's words were too mysterious.How can stone turn into gold in the world?Even if they have some secret methods that can increase the yield of the field, that is very limited. How can it benefit the world, not to mention that the land is born, so it can't be produced out of thin air, right?
Li Suiqiu was troubled by this matter for a long time, and he realized that he had entered a dilemma.There is nothing to be suspicious about being loyal to Ming Dynasty; however, the performance of the Australians in Guangzhou and their past reputation in Qiongzhou made him realize that Australians may have various faults, or they may like to brag and deceive others, but at least the people are getting it right now. For their benefit, they happily became "Song Shunmin".But Daming, whom he wants to be loyal to, is not very attractive to the common people.The same is true: he, Li Suiqiu, received the "national grace", so what benefits did the people get?

Just as he was hesitating about these things, the news of the collective wedding was delivered to his eyes through the newspapers.He had to admire the idea of ​​Australians running a newspaper.Whether you like it or not, whether you agree or not.As long as you don't want the news to be blocked, you have to endure the endless tide of news.And this information will quietly change a person's opinion - this point, Li Suiqiu has already experienced it.From the beginning of their entry into the city, "Hans and thieves are not at odds", to "Government of Kun thieves is also worthwhile", and recently "Australians win the hearts of the people"... Li Suiqiu himself realized that this change is far more than that of Cui Daochang. Chatting endlessly, piling up nouns is much more powerful.

The same is true for the collective wedding in front of us.Li Suiqiu's perception of this is the same as Song Yingsheng's: a good thing, but making a fuss out of a molehill.But even after reading the special report for a few days, I was quite touched.In the end, I decided to come out to watch the excitement.

Seeing this excitement, I secretly regretted it—it was too noisy.The location he occupies is very close to the Great World Plaza, which is an excellent location, but the Australians do not allow big households to set up tents, nor can they display tables and chairs.Li Suiqiu could only stand and watch.That's all, because there is no way to build a shed, and naturally it can't be closed to outsiders.There were so many spectators around that he couldn't move. Even though there were seven or eight domestic servants standing by to protect him from the pain of being squeezed, and some people fanned him in the shade, the smell of sweat and heat was still fumigated. It was unbearable for him.

After finally persevering until the newcomer enters the arena, Li Suiqiu secretly shook his head in this scene: It's so upsetting!Such preferential treatment for such thugs, prostitutes and actresses is not the spirit that the new dynasty should have.Australians are so contemptuous of famous equipment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve great success.

While thinking wildly, he suddenly saw an acquaintance: it was Zhang Jiayu.Just as I was about to call him, the figure flashed and disappeared again.

Just as I was about to look for it again, suddenly there was a burst of music in the venue.A high-pitched male voice echoed over the square:
"Please invite the mayor of the Guangdong region, the elder Wen Desi, to witness the marriage for the couple!"

Under the auspices of Fang Fei, Wen Desi came down from the rostrum and stood behind the marriage witnessing platform with a smile on his face. A simple marriage witnessing ceremony was already prepared here.The Venus Star flag and the Senate flag complement each other, and the red woolen tablecloth embroidered with a golden "Gear, Wheat, Holy Ship, Iron Fist" badge, besides fresh flowers, also has a thick leather-bound "Civil Code"—— Of course it's just a hollow model;

The Senate, as a witness, issues a marriage certificate.This is a system that has been implemented since the "Red and White Council" in Lingao. Its purpose is nothing more than to promote the modern marriage system and establish the concept of "marriage is a legal relationship".

Naturally, except for the early days, very few elders would have the time to witness marriages for naturalized people or aborigines. Most of the time, the recruiters were just small staff.But the seriousness of the marriage ceremony has been repeatedly emphasized by Minzhengkou.Sometimes there are surprise checks.

Wen Desi witnessed quite a few marriages.First of all, he has always been the "head" of the Senate. His attendance not only showed "importance", but also made the newcomers and family members feel "face". Secondly, his name has a good reputation.This time, it is considered familiar.

With a smile on his face, Wen Desi waved frequently to the newcomers, guests, and onlookers.He didn't lean over to the microphone until the music stopped for a while:

"Comrades, friends, citizens, hello!

"The ancients said: There are four great happy events in life: the rain after a long drought, the encounter with an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night in the bridal chamber, and the inscription on the gold list. Today, the newlyweds are here to marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties forever. As a witness, I want to say a few words from the heart to the newlyweds .

"To the newlyweds who can come to the Great World Plaza to tie the knot today. I wish you will be united forever. Love each other at the beginning of the wedding, treat each other with respect after marriage, have children, husband and son, and love each other when you are old.

"On this day of great joy, I also ask you to never forget the past. The newcomers who came to the mass wedding today probably have endless suffering and sadness in their hearts. Today's good times come It’s not easy. I think, the loved ones you miss, whether they are still in this world or not, if they can see what you look like today, they will definitely feel gratified and sincerely happy for you.”

There was a low sobbing sound in the newcomer queue.Fang Fei was a little anxious. The publicity effect of Mr. Wen's speech was naturally good, but each of these newcomers had a painful history in their hearts, and a few words could arouse great resonance.Mr. Wen really wants to make the newcomers cry together, it will be a big spoiler, and maybe they will be used by people with "ulterior motives".He quickly winked at Chaowen Desi.

Wen Desi nodded with a smile, and continued:

"...The first half of my life was poor, struggling in the dark quagmire, finally ushered in the dawn of today, and lived a happy life. The more beautiful this time is, the more we cannot forget the hardships and hardships of the past, and we cannot Forget how you got here step by step--forgetting the past is tantamount to betraying the future.

"The Senate and I personally wish you a happy life and a happy marriage.

"Serve the Senate and the people!"

As soon as Wen Desi's words fell, the audience burst into warm applause.The applause was like a wave, and it was quickly transmitted from the center of the Great World Square. Wave after wave, the entire surrounding area was rippling, as someone shouted "Serve the Senate and the people" and "Senate "Long live" slogan, the applause was like thunder, and it could not stop for a long time.

Holding the host script, Fang Fei wanted to speak a few times, but every time he approached the microphone, he was stopped by the warm applause. He smiled helplessly, and then clapped his hands.

After a while, the applause died down.He moved closer to the microphone and said loudly:
"Marriage of two surnames, a contract in one house, a good relationship will last forever, and the match is the same name. Look at the peach blossoms on this day, and the house is IKEA. It is predicted that the melons will be endless in the next year, and you will be prosperous. I would like to write to Hongjian with a white-headed agreement. The alliance of red leaves will be recorded in the mandarin genealogy. Comrade Wen Desi, the mayor of the Guangdong Region, will issue marriage certificates to the new couples!"
