Chapter 279: City Lord's Mansion Opens for Business
Sure enough, the citizens who rushed over were very willing to give it a try.
Because they believe in City Lord Xu and Master Shen.
As a result, five noodle shops of different sizes quickly began to renovate and learn.
The first day of September, at noon.
The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.
In the gate square of the City Lord's Mansion, a thousand soldiers stood in neat rows.
Dress uniformly and be neat and orderly.
And, the surrounding citizens were watching the solemn scene.
Most people were excited and nervous.
After all, ordinary people respect and fear officers and soldiers.
At this time, Li Mingze was seen wearing a black suit with exquisite tailoring and high-quality fabric, standing upright in front of a group of mighty officers and soldiers.
His handsome face revealed determination and courage, and his whole body exuded an awe-inspiring temperament.
He suddenly raised his voice and shouted as loud as a bell:
"The auspicious time has arrived, open the gate of the City Lord's Mansion!"
These words seemed to possess infinite power, echoing in the air for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a dull and heavy sound, the huge and heavy gate of the City Lord's Mansion began to move slowly to both sides.
The sound produced by the friction of the door hinges is like the low roar of an ancient giant beast awakening, which makes people feel solemn.
At the same time, a burst of passionate and enthusiastic gong and drum sounds suddenly rang out, resounding throughout the entire northern land like thunder in the sky.
The sound of gongs and drums was deafening and majestic, like the sound of thousands of horses galloping.
The onlookers who were still in a daze were instantly awakened by the sudden loud noise. They all opened their eyes wide and looked shocked.
Their eyes were all cast towards the slowly opening gate of the City Lord's Mansion, their hearts filled with curiosity and anticipation.
As soon as the door of the City Lord's Mansion was opened, Xu Wenzhi strode out wearing a dark red formal suit.
He took the incense prepared by Li Mingze.
He looked solemnly as he bowed in a standard 90-degree angle towards the four directions of east, south, west and north.
Every time he bent down, he appeared extremely pious, as if he was having a silent communication with the gods of heaven and earth.
At the same time, I silently recited those beautiful words of prayer in my heart, praying that God would bless this land with good weather and that the people could live and work in peace and contentment.
After the incense burning ceremony was over, he slowly stood up and walked towards the tall and majestic gate with steady and powerful steps.
He stretched out his right hand and gently pulled the blood-red cloth covering the plaque.
As he pulled slightly with his arm, the red cloth slid down like a waterfall, revealing three big words that had been covered for a long time - City Lord's Mansion!
These three characters are designed in a black background with gold edges. The black background is like the deep and boundless night sky, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.
The golden frame is like a dazzling star, shining with a light that cannot be ignored.
Especially the golden font, which is so majestic and powerful that every stroke reveals a majestic momentum that makes people look sideways.
These three words are not just simple identification symbols, they also represent the core of the city, carrying a solemn atmosphere as well as supreme majesty and authority.
Everyone at the scene, seeing those three words, felt awe in their hearts.
Xu Wenzhi turned around and looked at the people below the stairs.
“Thank you for your kindness and for taking on the important task of being the city lord.
I should be grateful and perform my duties conscientiously.
I must strengthen the city's defenses and protect the territory and the people.
Keep commerce in order and farming going.
Matters of taxation will also be treated fairly, and the citizens of the northern border will never be made to suffer in vain.
From now on, you don't have to worry about banditry or famine. I will definitely go forward hand in hand with you."
As soon as Xu Wenzhi finished speaking, the whole street was filled with applause and cheers.
"City Lord Xu, City Lord Xu!"
"City Lord Xu..."
Seeing the enthusiasm of the people, Xu Wenzhi was also excited.
This is the North he wants to fight for.
After a moment, Xu Wenzhi raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.
In an instant, the scene was as quiet as a chicken.
Xu Wenzhi nodded in satisfaction, then continued seriously.
"Of course, after spending more than half a year together, everyone should know my personality and principles.
Everything is done in accordance with rules and regulations.
I hope that in the future you will continue to respond as positively as before and strive for your own better life.
The North is a good place.
Northern City will become more and more prosperous in the future.
Of course, I want to get the protection of the North.
Then you all must also build the Northern Territory with sincerity and protect every blade of grass, every brick and every tile in the Northern Territory.
As long as everyone is committed to the North, it will surely become a home where everyone can live in peace and contentment for the rest of their lives."
Xu Wenzhi's words were recognized by many people.
Indeed, they have been involved in the construction for more than half a year.
From the dirty and chaotic North to the prosperous North with flowers all over the city.
They can't help but love.
Then, a burst of enthusiastic voices suddenly rang out.
"We love the North. The North is our home."
"The North is our home..."
"..."
Xu Wenzhi: "..."
Li Mingze: “!!!”
The people are really enthusiastic.
However, Shen Yinyun, Jiang Ling and others were on the second floor opposite and watched the whole thing.
Originally, Xu Wenzhi wanted to mention his master.
Jiang Ling immediately objected.
Why mention them?
Hands-off boss? Idle Fish Life? Lay low and let things go?
Is it bad?
What does it have to do with them if Xu Wenzhi becomes the city lord?
strongly oppose.
Xu Wenzhi was helpless, he was also forced to do this...
I originally wanted to mention Shen Yinyun.
Haha, I was rejected again.
Shen Yinyun doesn't want to be famous.
Although he is quite famous in the city.
However, this is not necessary in formal occasions.
Whoever is the city lord will hold on.
He just wanted to do business and make money for Northern City.
Now, seeing such excited and thrilled crowds.
Jiang Ling and Shen Yinyun couldn't help but pat their chests.
Fortunately, they did not participate.
otherwise……
They are not social bulls.
The two smiled at each other and looked at Xu Wenzhi.
I sighed silently in my heart:
Good job, brother.
There is always someone who needs to be pushed out to suffer.
Xu Wenzhi seemed to know that the person opposite was looking at him, and shook his head helplessly.
Then, he raised his right hand again, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Okay, today the City Lord's Mansion will officially open to the public.
Let me tell you some good news.
Northern College will officially begin recruiting students tomorrow.
From three years old to sixty years old.
The college has classes for infants, beginners, teenagers and adults.
As long as you have the idea of learning, you can go and learn about it and sign up.
I hope that all citizens of Northern City can learn to read and count.
Distinguish right from wrong and be a civilized northerner.
