Chapter 103 Dragon Boat Festival

Soon, the familiar weather passed again, and May had already entered. In two days it was the Dragon Boat Festival. Yao Ran had not returned from the capital. Although Chen Ji was a little anxious, he did not dare to tell Zhao Qi that he could only help Zhao Qi plan and promote copywriting every day. He was busy and completely turned into the chief pen of the entire project.

Zhao Qi found a juren to help plan, which made Manager Liu and Yang Anping feel much more at ease, and they became more and more excited. In just a few days, the entire project had begun to enter the state, and the barren beach gradually became a little hot.

People in Dawan Village naturally became suspicious about the changes in the bay.

The dog-daughter clearly stated that it was just a scam, but why did it seem like it was going to be a real one?

But now all the deeds in black and white have been signed, with the collars and signatures from Yashang and the government office, so I could only watch the changes of the port every day with doubts.

Of course, no matter how they change, they all know that it is definitely not enough to truly build the harbor without hundreds of thousands of yuan. Although it seems lively now, it is just leveling the earth and stone, and it is still a thousand miles away from the real repair.

In order to get enough money, Zhao Qi also tried his best to bring the hunger marketing method of later generations to the extreme.

Therefore, no matter how people outside ask, discuss, suspicious, or even ask the back door, they will come to ask, but no news will be leaked.

Until the Dragon Boat Festival.

...

On the fifth day of the fifth month, morning and morning just broke.

A grand and joyful festival begins.

The entire Yanggong Town and Sanjiangkou have entered a festive state, with hundreds of thousands of people eating rice dumplings, rowing dragon boats, singing and dancing to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty with developed business and entertainment until its death.

As a super city second only to Lin'an and Suzhou on Liangzhe Road, Qingyuan Prefecture has prepared for this grand festival very lively and comprehensively.

From the county officials to the common people, men, women, young and old, they all wore new clothes and rushed to the Sanjiangkou Wharf of Yin County and Yanggong Town Harbor to watch the fun.

On the river surface of Sanjiangkou, a grand dragon boat competition is held every year on the Dragon Boat Festival.

All walks of life and villages and towns will form their own dragon boat teams to participate in this grand festival.

Therefore, it was just dawn, and dozens of dragon boats were already lined up at the Lingqiao Wharf of Sanjiangkou, and dozens of vermilion-shaped cowhide drums were also mounted on the wharf. A group of bare-shirted men with red cloth wrapped in red cloths and began to beat the drums to create an atmosphere. The young sailors of each dragon boat team all sat on the boat with strips of different colors of cloth wrapped around their heads, preparing to show their skills. To win the championship in the competition, they will not only receive a large amount of money and rewards, but also receive warm receptions and drinking and meat treats from the prefect.

The river is lively and the river bank is even more lively.

On both sides of the Yongjiang River, hundreds of thousands of people gathered together in black to watch this grand dragon boat race.

Among the bustling crowds, there are naturally all kinds of food, drink and entertainment items, fruit snacks, various snacks, toys, headdresses, shoes, socks, straw hats, wine and rice dumplings, and even acrobatics, cockfighting roulettes, broken bricks with bare hands, big stones on the chest, etc., all of them are performing lively.

The crowds of people watching were naturally from east to west, with sounds of selling and cheering one after another, and there were also many fortune telling Taoists, monks begging alms, begging beggars, thieves stealing bags and other figures from all walks of life and the hustle and bustle of the whole city. The lively and noisy sound shocked the entire mansion.

On the Lingqiao Wharf, a group of Confucian scholars with wide sleeves and large robes and a group of officials wearing round necklines and large sleeves of various colors, with leather and leather straps and square scarves or gauze hats were surrounded, guarding a slightly fat old man in purple robes and black veils in the middle. There were hundreds of soldiers wearing leather armor, holding swords, guns, bows and arrows around, protecting these people firmly in the center.

"This year's grand occasion is a bit more lively than in previous years. All this depends on the hard work of Duke Chong!"

Among a group of officials, an official wearing a vermilion robe pointed at the lively scene on the river bank with a smile.

"It is precisely because Duke Chongguo has managed our Qingyuan Prefecture in an orderly and peaceful manner in the past three years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is the blessing of the people of my Qingyuan Prefecture!" A group of officials in green official robes all flattered them together.

"It's all thanks to my colleagues for their support. How can I make a contribution to the Qingyuan Mansion? The excellent terrain of Qingyuan Mansion is unique. In addition, the people are simple and prosperous in business, so it's just as prosperous and lively as it is whether I come or not!"

The old man turned his beard with a smile on his face and refused.

"Hey, Mr. Wu doesn't need to be humble. Since you were transferred to the prefecture, the changes in Qingyuan Prefecture and Yin County have been obvious to all. Draining rivers and building other mountain dams is a move that will benefit the present and the future. The people of Mingzhou will thank the old Duke for generations for this hard work!" An old man in Confucian uniform over 50 said with a smile.

"These are all due to the support of the people, otherwise how could I accomplish anything? But the mountain dam may be the last thing I can do for the people of Mingzhou!" When the old man said this, the smile on his face slowly calmed down.

"Why did Duke Chongguo say this?" A group of officials and Confucian scholars all looked at the old man in surprise.

"Oh, the court is uneasy, and I am old and weak. When autumn begins, I am also preparing to write a letter to dismiss and retire!" The old man sighed slightly and spoke.

"Old Wu, you are in full swing now. How can you retreat just by saying that you can retreat? We are still going to follow you around and watch the excitement for a few years!"

"That's right, you are getting stronger and stronger. Why do you retire? The court is the court. If you are not in Qingyuan Mansion, you are afraid that the lively scene in front of you will be much more deserted!"

"That's right, how can the old Duke retreat? Maybe the official family will summon you to the court to take charge of the two palaces soon..."

A group of officials persuaded the old man in a verbal manner, and the lively atmosphere became slightly dull.

"Now Ding Daquan is in control of the court. I can't stand the troubles. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, don't talk about these disappointing topics, or watch the dragon boat competition!" The old man shook his head to stop the discussion of a group of subordinates.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

Just as a group of officials focused their eyes on the dragon boats on the river again, suddenly a sound of gongs sounded in front of the Lingqiao Head not far away, accompanied by a noise, and the crowd instantly formed a pile of people.

"Dear fellow villagers, we are from Xiaolongwan Harbour Development Company in Yanggong Town. Today, we will use the treasure land to promote our new project. Please spread some..."

Accompanied by a clear sound in the crowd, soon after, the three carriages that came with them were coming down, a group of young women in colorful groups, wearing the ribbons of Xiaolongwan Harbour Development Company, and holding a stack of flyers in their hands began to radiate among the crowd.
