The next morning, when the residents of Banshanfang took to the streets, they immediately discovered unusual changes in the neighborhood!
In the streets and alleys, walls of all sizes were painted with stripes of white paint, and large words in different colors were written on them.
【Creating a picturesque Mid-Levels, showing the spirit in every little detail! 】
【Be civilized citizens and build a better future for Mid-Levels together! 】
[People can be shameless, but they cannot urinate and defecate anywhere]
[God is watching you when you urinate and defecate anywhere! ]
[The ancients said that if you urinate and defecate anywhere, you will not be able to have children. ]
【Urinating and defecating anywhere will kill your whole family! 】
.........
Countless brilliant and beautiful words swept across Banshanfang overnight.
Fang Zheng ordered his people to write these words overnight, and he also spent the entire night writing them.
It combines all the advantages of kind words, threats and curses, superstition of ghosts and gods, and straightforward and easy-to-understand language, all in order to reverse the lifestyle problems of the people in Banshanfang as soon as possible.
Considering the high illiteracy rate among the people in Banshanfang, a literate scholar is assigned to each wall as a guide.
When you see a lot of people passing by, just shout out what’s on the wall, or specifically answer their questions.
Originally, these scholars were extremely reluctant.
Is there any law against people pooping on the street?!
Later, Zhang Biao knocked out the two people who were the first to find fault, gave each of them five taels of silver, and everyone happily went to work.
At this time, an old man passing by on the street was looking at the big words on the wall in confusion: "Hey, wow, wow, wow, what is written here! It's so beautiful!"
Seeing this, the tour guide hurried forward to explain.
They dared not relax. Fang Zheng had instructed the military department to send clerks to check the work status of the tour guides. If anyone was found to be lazy, they would be fined.
"It says here about our new activities!"
[Encourage the use of public toilets. A random draw will be held for pooping. The lucky person can get a reward of up to five taels of silver! ]
The old man touched his head and laughed: "I have never heard of a lottery for pooping in my life! The scammers have even scammed people on the street, and the government doesn't care. What a world!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
The guide quickly pulled him back and shouted, "We are not kidding! This is an activity organized by the government. Look at the public toilet over there. There is a person holding a slip of paper. Take one when you go in."
"Then the government will hold a lottery on the street at the end of every month! The first prize is five taels of silver, but there is only one spot! I'm not kidding, I'll go!"
The old man smiled and said nothing, shook his head and walked away.
The guide was anxious and quickly grabbed him: "What's going on?! Don't you believe what I said?"
The old man was full of impatience: "What do I believe in? You can win a prize by picking up a piece of paper. Who are you kidding? If the government can really give out money, I will shit upside down!"
The guide said quickly, "You will know if you go and take a look. There are words on the paper. You need to put your fingerprint on it after you get it. After you go in, you must come out of the toilet within half a cup of tea, otherwise your place will be invalid!"
The old man looked towards the public toilet doubtfully: "Really?"
"real!"
"Then I'll try."
After saying that, the old man turned and went to the public toilet, got a note, looked at the Arabic numerals written on it, and touched his head in confusion.
Then, under the guidance of the guide, I dipped my finger on the toner cartridge and pressed a fingerprint on the corresponding number on the notebook.
This method was also invented by Fang Zhengyi, where you go to the toilet to get a number and draw a lottery.
The lottery has prizes from first to fifth place. The last three prizes are each worth five to several dozen copper coins, with a total of 100 winners. The first and second prizes are worth one tael and five taels respectively, with a total of two winners.
Of course, he didn't expect that such a crude design would not have any problems, and fraud would definitely occur over time.
The first is the situation where one person receives multiple tickets, but the number of people in Banshanfang is not that large, and the person issuing tickets next to the public toilet can probably tell the difference.
The second is forgery, which is not a problem either. First of all, there is a unique number corresponding to the fingerprint. Anyone who dares to claim it will be found out. Anyone who dares to forge it will be taken out to volunteer to repair toilets.
In addition, all kinds of strange situations will definitely occur, such as omissions in work, falsification, and inability to distinguish. Fang Zheng doesn't mind spending more money. The total amount is not much, so he doesn't feel bad about distributing it to the people. Secondly, it can also achieve better publicity effects.
Finally, this is just a short-term activity and it is impossible to continue forever. When the trend changes, people will condemn those who urinate and defecate in public without Fang Zheng saying anything. After all, who doesn't like walking on clean streets?
Looking at the people gathered in groups around the tour guide, Fang Zhengyi smiled with relief.
Now I want to recreate the miracle of Taoyuan County in the capital, and I have finally made a good start.
Li Yuanzhao was also looking at the propaganda slogans on the street with a grin. As expected of Lao Fang, he could always come up with some weird things.
It may seem outrageous, but it should work!
Ding Quan stood beside the two of them, his eyes twitching as he looked at Fang Zhengyi in awe.
I thought to myself, so this is the prince's teacher... He is indeed extraordinary...
"Ding Quan, how is the work on selecting the site for the public toilet going? When will the staff be in place?"
Ding Quan hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, the site selection has been almost completed, and the houses of those people have all been bought. We are just waiting for them to move in."
"In addition, the recruitment of staff will be slower, and it will take two days to get all of them in place. Also, because we are in a hurry to recruit people... the wages are generally higher."
"That's fine. What I want is speed. The more money you spend, the better."
Fang Zheng then pointed to a group of houses at the end of the street and said, "I have another task for you! Buy all the houses at the end of the street in the next few days, demolish them, and clear out a piece of open space!"
"From today on! That place will be called Mid-Levels Plaza!"
Li Yuanzhao wondered, "Old Fang, when are you going to build the house? What's the point of building a square? It's not worth eating or drinking."
"You are wrong. This square has a great purpose. People's entertainment life is not enough. We need to enrich their spirit first. Only when people are happy can they be motivated."
"We still have to hold a lottery, and we have to do it in front of all the people! Can we draw the lottery in secret and announce the results half an hour later? Then I, Fang Zhengyi, will become a lottery ticket seller!?"
Li Yuanzhao looked confused: "What is lottery?"
“Ahem…” Fang Zhengyi coughed twice in embarrassment and said, “This lottery ticket is a good thing. We will do it in the future, and also draw lots. But we have to do it carefully and can’t be so crude.”
Another point is that Fang Zhengyi feels that the current publicity efforts are still not enough.
We plan to build a stage in the square and invite a troupe to perform every day. It would be best to find young people in Taoyuan County to write some new scripts.
In addition to advocating positive energy such as keeping hygiene and doing good deeds.
Maybe do some advertising...
