“Brother David!”
"Come and take a look!"
In the afternoon, the city of Hebron was bathed in golden sunlight.
At this time, David still had half a piece of bread in his mouth that he had not swallowed.
Elisha had already finished eating. He had heard a lot about David's "deeds" early in the morning.
Of course, when we say it is a deed, it is actually people's praise for David. In just one morning, he handled many complicated matters in the city of Hebron.
You know, there has never been such a person to manage the city of Hebron in the past. So when David, who is good at management and has been influenced by Lin Ke, came here, he immediately showed a completely different side of himself to the people here.
So, in just one morning, many people in the city began to love David, the city lord.
At this time, David looked at the lively Elisha and thought that Elisha would become the king of the new Hebrew Empire in the future, which made him laugh.
After all, what king could be as innocent and active as Elisha?
David smiled and stuffed the remaining half of the bread into his mouth.
Then he poured the water into his mouth and chewed it messily.
"Let's go, Elisha."
"Also, when outsiders are around, you must call me Lord City Lord!"
When Elisha heard this, he just bowed quickly and said, "Yes, Brother David, the city lord."
David smiled and tapped him lightly on the head with his knuckles.
"You little brat."
After a while, they were standing by the newly built public drinking water pool, watching the residents queuing up to get water one by one.
Even those who escaped had rare, satisfied smiles on their faces.
"Lord City Lord!"
An old woman came forward and bowed respectfully to David.
“Thank you for building this pool for us!”
"I used to have to walk halfway across town to get clean water, but now it's much more convenient!"
"Thank you!"
David nodded slightly and supported the old woman with both hands.
“That’s what should be done.”
"Water is the foundation of people's livelihood, and it is my responsibility to ensure that people can get water conveniently."
Then, Elisha took out a neatly folded piece of papyrus and started writing on it.
"A good ruler must first pay attention to the daily needs of the people."
David glanced at Elisha and nodded with satisfaction.
This young man from the countryside has infinite curiosity about urban construction.
"Lord David."
Elisha couldn't help but ask, "Why did you come to check it out yourself instead of asking your subordinates to report?"
"Didn't you ask your soldiers to report for duty this morning?"
David smiled and picked up a leaf that had fallen by the pool.
"Look at this leaf."
"My subordinates will only tell you that the pool is functioning normally, but they won't mention that there are children playing in the water every morning, nor will they notice that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law chat and strengthen their relationship here in the afternoon."
"so......"
Elisha suddenly realized something and continued, "So, only by going here in person can we know the specific situation!"
"Because I won't tell you everything here in detail!"
David patted his shoulder with satisfaction: "Exactly!"
"Let's go and see how the market is being renovated."
Hebron's Central Market was once a chaotic cluster of stalls, filled with garbage and odors.
David's first project after taking office was to rectify the market.
Now, neat stone stalls surround the wide central square, a fountain flows happily in the center, and the cries of vendors can be heard one after another.
"Look at this!"
A fruit vendor greeted them: "A new variety of tangerines! Brought here by the Holy Egyptian Alliance caravan! They're extra sweet!"
"Oh! It's the Lord City Lord! Would you like to try it?"
David took the orange and nodded his thanks. Then he broke it in half and handed half to Elisha: "Come, try it."
The orange segments were juicy, sweet and sour, and Elisha couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so delicious."
The fruit vendor saw the two smiling faces and spoke proudly.
“This is the charm of Hebron! We are located on the main north-south transportation route, and we gather specialties from all over the world.”
"Especially since the city lord dredged the trade routes, goods flow faster, and we can also provide a wider variety of goods!"
"This is all thanks to you, Lord City Lord!"
David nodded with satisfaction. "The benefit of business lies in the exchange of what we have and what we don't have. As long as it is managed properly, the market can drive the development of the entire city."
After David finished speaking, he simply raised his head and murmured, "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh... I really hope you can see Hebron today with your own eyes."
Elisha noticed David's lips moving. He tilted his head and asked, "David, the city lord? What are you talking about?"
David just shook his head and rubbed Elisha's head.
"nothing."
He took Elisha through the market, stopping from time to time to talk to the vendors and ask about their business situation and difficulties.
Elisha noticed that David listened patiently to everyone, whether a wealthy merchant or a poor peddler.
After leaving the market, the two turned into a quiet alley.
There is a simple school at the end of the alley, and the sound of scriptures being recited can be heard from it.
They walked into the classroom and saw a dozen children of different ages reciting their traditional scriptures under the guidance of their teacher.
