Chapter 928 People can’t feel too good about themselves (please vote for me)

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

On the top of the city, a trombone player in festive attire exerted all his strength, blowing his cheeks desperately to blow the shining pure copper horn in his hand.

The cheerful and loud horn sound resounded across the land in an instant, and the gentle breeze carried the music further, telling everyone nearby that there was a grand celebration here.

Under the city wall, the wide streets were already crowded with people, laughing and dancing, forming a sea of ​​joy.

People also dressed in gorgeous costumes only worn on festivals, crowded on the streets, greeted each other, browsed the goods in the stores, and bargained loudly.

The sounds of couples bickering, mothers scolding their children, and young men and women playing, mixed with the sounds of music and hawking, and the huge noise was like thousands of beehives, buzzing and echoing over the city.

The city guards, who were wearing clean and beautiful red uniforms and bright breastplates that could reflect people's silhouettes, were also among the crowd, running around constantly to maintain order on the road. They were all tired.

They were all sweating profusely and their tongues were sticking out like dogs.

Today is the traditional Lunar New Year Festival in Nai An, which is the first important festival after the New Year.

From today on, Nai'an will enter spring in the true sense. People will also take off their thick clothes and welcome the warm sunshine of spring.

Farmers are ushering in the most important spring plowing of the year, and the green grass quietly sprouts in the fields. It is a beautiful time for wild cats to climb trees and for girls to bloom.

Everyone should solemnly offer sacrifices to the goddess of spring, praying for abundant rain this spring, or finding a compatible lover on this day when spring is everywhere.

This year's Spring Festival is different from previous years, adding to the festive atmosphere.

In order to celebrate the governor of Nai'an who is the wisest, the most benevolent, the one who loves the people like a son, and the one who serves the people wholeheartedly, the sky is three feet high and the land is five feet thin, Lord Lorraine.

After going through difficulties and obstacles, he successfully completed the mission, shattered the conspiracy of the despicable, sinister and vicious high priest of the undead, killed countless lichs, and successfully returned from the demon clan.

Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine was so happy that she immediately ordered the whole world to celebrate and hold a grand celebration ceremony.

Originally, this kind of over-the-top, extravagant, and meaningless activity was very objectionable to officials, even though they often hosted such activities.

For example, back then, a large part of the reason why His Majesty King Zhou was called a tyrant was because he carried out a big image project, built wine ponds and meat forests, put a lot of women without clothes on, and lived a shameless life.

The days of shame are extremely extravagant and wasteful.

Moreover, it is full of the atmosphere of a nouveau riche who has just become rich, and only buys expensive things, not the right ones.

In addition, there are also outstanding artist representatives, His Majesty Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and the great poet Mr. Yang Guangyang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

But their appearance is not much better, it is extremely disgusting.

You know, what do you do when you work hard to be an official, shamelessly flatter others, say things that are disgusting to you, and act like grandsons to others?

Not for money?

But for the big guys, they are arresting and beating people, and they are also doing steakhouses, and they also have to take their younger brothers out to kill people. It is hard work that risks their lives.

You have worked hard all year round, and you are more tired than your grandson. It was easy to scrape a little money from the dead people. As a result, the boss slammed the table and scattered a lot of money. You are very happy. Everyone.

Where do you go for corruption?

It would be great to have this money to start some projects, pave roads, build bridges, and build a few office buildings. Everyone can get some rebates and infrastructure construction can also go up.

If that doesn't work, it would be a good idea to invest in affordable housing. You can buy a house for your aunts and uncles.

It's better than spending time building sheds and sweeping the streets.

However, Nai'an officials do not have much complaints about this event.

Because this entire celebration did not cost the common people a penny, that is to say, it did not use government funds, but was exclusively sponsored by the Flying Eagle Company.

With Feiying Company's usual methods, this money will not be wasted.

Therefore, on the street, above the various flags flying, the words "Flying Eagle Company" were written in large fonts.

What is "Feiying Salt Industry, you can get salt at your doorstep"?

'The flying eagle spear is unparalleledly sharp.'

‘The flying eagle’s shield is unbreakable’.

‘Flying Eagle Carriage, Supreme Enjoyment’,

‘Buy furniture at Feiying and have it delivered to your home’.

‘Flying Eagle Technical School provides food, accommodation, education, skills and distribution’…

But in the corner of those banners, you can vaguely see a narrow banner with a line of small words, 'Warmly celebrating the victorious return of the Governor-General."

Or write it below the Flying Eagle Machinery Company advertisement.

People who didn't know it looked at it and thought it was Feiying Company holding a product exhibition here. They completely ignored the theme of this celebration.

This is understandable. The chairman and general manager of the Flying Eagle Group, Mr. Leo Lei, was tricked by his uncle and father this time. Millions of dollars were gone as soon as he landed on the ground.

Naturally, he had to take some ruthless measures to fill this hole. Otherwise, he would become the first bankrupt heir to the throne in history.

And Lorraine is also very indifferent to this kind of publicity. The habit she brought from her previous life makes her disgusted with grand official celebrations, so she doesn't care.

However, Adele was quite critical of this, thinking that Leo was taking the spotlight.

However, after a serious discussion with Leo and then picking up a LV latest limited edition leather bag, I immediately agreed.

Then Lorena, Adelin and others also expressed their hatred for Leo's behavior. Leo had to talk to everyone sincerely and let out a lot of blood.

But the people in the city didn't care about these inside stories at all.

They only have fun to watch, and they can go up there to have fun. Even if it is to celebrate the birthday of the Great Demon God, they don't care.

After all, in this era, there are really too few things for entertainment. During the day, everyone can get together and talk about the mountains. As soon as the sun goes down, they have to go back to the house and sleep. Usually when a bard comes to the village, they will celebrate the New Year with them.

Likewise, if there is so much excitement, of course you should come and enjoy it.

It's not even noon yet, and the whole city is already packed with people, and it's so crowded.

But despite this, they are extremely orderly and not chaotic at all.

Some young and artistic people went to the grand theater in the south of the city to watch the newly rehearsed opera.

Those who want to gamble can go to the newly opened stadium in the east of the city to watch football matches. Others go to the racetrack next to the stadium and gamble a small amount of money.

In addition, there are some people from the countryside.

They rarely come back to the city, so naturally they want to walk around so that they can brag to their neighbors about what they have learned in the big city.

They wouldn't go to big theaters or luxury stores, these high-end areas in the south of the city. If they did, they might be treated as thieves, so why bother asking for that trouble?

A handkerchief sells for fifty gold coins. Only aristocratic landowners with two bad money and nowhere to spend it would go to those cheating places.

And when they see the series of zeros on the price, they will feel dizzy.

Ordinary people from the countryside usually spend a small amount of money, or at most a few silver coins, to buy some breakfast first, and then go to the square to listen to the bard's nonsense.

Then he went to the east of the city and bought a few lottery tickets to try his luck.

However, they will not enter the racetrack, football field, etc. Those things are a waste of time and money.

Only those brats who were lucky enough to get into the factory dared to spend money so lavishly. I heard that those brats earned more in a month than civil servants. All the little girls in the town looked at them like bacon pies.

They and their matchmakers have all crossed the threshold.

And for these lifelong farmers, often just listening to the roaring sounds inside is enough to make everyone brag to the people in the village after they go back.

However, whether it is a wife with children or a wife without children.

But their final destination was all at the trade market in the west of the city.

The goods there are not only complete in variety, but also much cheaper than the salesmen who carry poles and walk through the villages and alleys in the countryside.

When visiting the city, the most important thing is to go there and buy some daily necessities. For example, some laundry soap, matches that light up when struck...you have to buy some of these.

As for the toothpaste that makes your mouth full of foam, these are all things used by city people, and ordinary country people will not use them. Only those young girls and boys who want to catch up with those young people will buy them.

of.

My mouth is full of food all day long, and it is clean and free of poop. Why brush it?

It must be those profiteers trying to defraud people out of their money~!

Moreover, this "Shimao" is very puzzling, what exactly is it?

Why is it that people keep saying this so often nowadays?

After buying things, if I have time, I will go shopping again. If I'm lucky and encounter something on sale, I'll buy two more.

If you still have some extra money in your hand, grit your teeth and pull a few feet of fabric for the little brat at home.

When I met a fellow villager I knew, I immediately patted the fabric with my hands several times, and then half complained, half showed off and cursed: This fabric is really expensive, but there is nothing I can do about it. The little boy at home

The bastard was very naughty. His clothes were worn out after three days of wearing them. In addition, during these times, he could eat and sleep, and he could move faster than a carrot tassel. In less than half a month, the clothes were worn out.

A lot smaller...

Then we have a brief chat with the parents.

xxxx

Lorraine was dressed in casual clothes, dressed like an ordinary young man, walking on the street, wandering aimlessly.

Although he was not interested in that celebration. Or to be precise, various merchants, especially Feiying Company, took advantage of the celebration to advertise and promote sales conferences.
