Chapter 69 I have a dream

Under the demonstration and guidance of Lin Feng himself, more and more people and passers-by joined the large team of cleaning the streets. Vendors near the shops also brought wheelbarrows, dustpans and other tools from their own shops, cleaned up some garbage on both sides of the street for years and pushed it to an open space at the intersection of the street.

Finally finished work. Looking at the clean street, Lin Feng patted his hands, cleaned his body briefly, bowed his hands, and said loudly: "Thank you all the villagers."

"Mr. Lin, you are so polite."

"Hello, Lord Lin." These people seemed to finally believe that the governor was really doing such dirty and tiring work with them just now, and all came to pay tribute.

"Shouzhou City is our own home. It would be great to live in such a clean and tidy street every day." Lin Feng sighed and bowed to the people, "My fellow villagers, Lin must surrender."

Lin Feng turned around and was about to leave, but found that Xi Mucheng was rushing over not far away, so he slowed down and waited for the car to stop. Xi Mucheng jumped out of the car, and then respectfully turned the hunchbacked old man who bent down from the car. Lin Feng took two steps quickly, while helping him and asking what was going on.

"Mr. Lin, these four are lonely old men in the city who just received the welfare home this morning. They heard that they could have free food and accommodation there, so they had to come over to thank Lord Lin. I can't push them away, so I have to bring them to you." Xi Mucheng shook his head and sighed.

Of course, Lin Feng would not expose Comrade Lao Xi's intention to create momentum for him. He gently helped one of the oldest men to the cool shade under a big tree on the side of the road with both hands.

The old man was trembling all over and trying hard to walk by himself. A hand full of blue veins grabbed Lin Feng's sleeve tightly and said with tears in his eyes:

"Mr. Lin, I, Wu Fang, lived seventy-two years old. From the Tang Dynasty to the present, I have experienced four governors of Shouzhou before. No one has ever done a good thing for me. Unexpectedly, before I died, I met a good official and a saint who actually provided me with food and accommodation for free. My Wu Fang is worth it in this life. Heaven has eyes and Shouzhou is blessed. Just now, Lord Xi told me that Lord. Lin, you ask no one to kneel down, otherwise, how can I kowtow to you?"

Lin Feng felt a little sad, and he listened quietly as the old man said incoherently that the people have suffered so much since ancient times, but he just did something that he should have done long ago, but he touched and cared about it.

The crowd who helped clean the cleaning just now also surrounded him. A middle-aged man turned around and shouted to the crowd: "Since Lord Lin came to us, gave us no rent, paid dividends to our shares, ran with our poor people, swept the floor together, and raised orphans and elderly people... There are no records in many ancient books about such a governor, and we have not even heard of it. Everyone says, is Lord Lin the greatest gospel in our Shouzhou?"

"Yes, that's right, thank you Lord Lin." The people shouted in a verbal voice.

"With Lord Lin, our bad luck in Shouzhou has finally ended. It's good luck." Another old man who rushed over was in tears, grabbed Lin Feng's other sleeve and said tremblingly.

Lin Feng felt even more uncomfortable and almost blurted out the news that Shouzhou was about to usher in a war, but reason made him suppress his impulse and suppress this thought.

"Dear fellow villagers, please be quiet." Lin Feng jumped onto the shaft of the carriage and said loudly.

The crowd immediately calmed down, and everyone looked up at Lin Feng.

"The people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is the least. This is the words of Mencius in ancient times and also the most wise saying of governing the country. I believe that every person who truly serves his family and country will do this. Lin just did what he should do. Please don't praise Lin again in the future." Lin Feng said loudly.

"Mr. Lin, there are too many people who can recite that sentence, but there are never people who can do it." The oldest Wu Fang shouted hard in the crowd, which triggered a violent cough.

Lin Feng jumped off the shaft, rushed to Wu Fang, patted his back gently, and said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, I am also an orphan. When I was wandering, I dreamed countless times, longing for someone to help me.

Now, I have the honor to be in Shouzhou. When I entered the city, I made a great wish, dreaming that our Shouzhou would become a place full of love and a place where no one would endure hunger and cold. In the future, as long as Shouzhou's financial resources allow, I will not only raise all the orphans and widowed people, but also prepare to make our Shouzhou City no longer poor people and no one who can't afford to see a doctor. Can you give me time and support me?"

"Mr. Lin, we will always support you." The middle-aged man who had just come forward responded.

"Yes, we will always support Lord Lin." The middle-aged people shouted immediately, and everyone else shouted.

"Thank you everyone, please go out and go out. In the future, as long as there is any urgent matter, you can go to the governor's mansion to tell me." Lin Feng bowed and led Feng Jingyun and others to slowly squeeze out the crowd.

When Lin Feng's figure disappeared on the street, the crowd on the street did not disperse for a long time.

Liu Neng put the broom in his hand on the side of the road. The man walked to Chu Yanneng, scratched his head embarrassedly, and whispered: "Brother Chu, I'm sorry, I didn't help you at the beginning, and I even laughed at you in public."

After just a group sweeping the street, Chu Yanneng's expression obviously improved a lot. He patted Liu Neng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We brothers, why do you say this? At the beginning of this year, you and your father helped me repair the roof."

The young man surnamed Fang, who had just thrown the stones and blocked the soil, came over and bowed deeply to Chu Yanneng, and apologized without stopping.

Chu Yanneng helped him up with both hands and said sincerely: "Brother, we are all wrong, it's all my fault. We cheated first, and then we regarded sweeping the floor as a shame and humiliation in our life. In the end, we did a foolish thing like hitting the wall. Lord Lin can sweep the floor in the street. What's the point of me, a young scholar, to sweep the floor for a few days?"

The young man surnamed Fang hugged Chu Yanneng's shoulder and said with a smile: "My name is Fang Jing. Even if we don't fight today, we will never meet each other. From tomorrow on, I will bring my family to work together."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, brother." Chu Yanneng touched the big bag that had already swelled a lot and said with a smile.

Of course, Lin Feng didn't know the touching scenes that happened after he left. He sent the four old men back to the welfare home and took a bus back to the governor's mansion with Xi Mucheng.
