Chapter 919: Visiting the Night Market

Finally, Jiang Fan smiled and went on stage to give them a lecture. The topic of this class, even after several years, is still the pride deeply engraved in their bones, the pride of a nation.

The empress's subsequent words made them understand that the boundaries of the five countries will disappear, and the world will be unified sooner or later, and this great, unified nation will stand at the top of the world. And they, no matter where they come from, are all Chinese people, the founders of the great Qin, and the disseminators of national culture.

"Five hundred students, proficient in academics, strong in martial arts, are all excellent young people."

Leaving the academy, the empress was very satisfied.

"It's a pity that it's not enough, too little..."

"Your thoughts and knowledge should spread throughout the world, and you should recruit disciples as soon as possible."

Jiang Fan said: "I have this idea. Next year, I want to select a group of outstanding young people from Daqin to enroll in the second class. What suggestions do you have for the students?"

The empress suddenly laughed: "Meng Yi has been very proud since he followed you. This time he must have made military achievements. His former friends are very envious."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Good idea, the first batch of students are all orphans. In the second batch, those who enjoy wealth and glory should make some contributions to their country."

"It's getting late. What should we eat today?"

Jiang Fan smiled: "Don't you want to see the people's livelihood in Mount Li? Let's go to the night market?"

"Night market?" The empress was stunned.

"Yes, Mount Li, there is no curfew. It's fun at night."

The empress immediately became interested.

"Let's go."

"Don't worry, we'll have to clear the place and pack up first."

So, when the lights came on, the two guys in light clothes and small hats sneaked out of the back door of the palace...

To be honest, the empress was also shocked by the scene in front of her.

Beside Mount Li is the Lishui River. The clear Lishui River, like a jade belt, meanders, the riverside is brightly lit, crowded with people, countless vendors set up stalls along the river, and the sounds of hawking and laughter are heard one after another.

"They are all from Mount Li. You know, Mount Li is not allowed to go out, and all farmers and craftsmen live in the city. We must find some fun for them."

The empress nodded: "So you came up with this?"

Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Of course, I like this thing. For this night market, I have come up with a lot of snacks and published recipes."

The empress immediately said: "Let's go and have a look."

As soon as you enter the night market, you will be dazzled. Jiang Fan was also surprised. He didn't expect it to develop to such a scale.

The crowd was bustling, adults and children were having fun, there were many vendors but they were neat and orderly, and everyone's face was full of satisfaction.

This scene made the empress suddenly realize, "What a night market."

Jiang Fan bought two strings of candied haws first, and stuffed one string into the empress: "Eat and walk at the same time, this is the true meaning."

The empress stared at the copper coin in his hand.

"This is not the currency of the Great Qin Dynasty."

Jiang Fan nodded and spread out his palm: "Lishan is independent and self-governing, and closed management. Since then, I have thought that there should be a currency of Lishan. Take a look, what do you think."

The empress picked up a coin, and saw that the coin had a round square hole and was made of pure copper. There were four words on the front: Daqin Tongbao, and two words on the back: Yiwen.

It was very beautifully made.

The empress's eyes flickered: "Daqin Tongbao?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "Why, do you think it's okay?"

The empress thought: "Do you hope that Daqin will use this currency in the future?"

Jiang Fan said: "The wheels are the same, the writing is the same, and the currency measurement must be unified. These are all being tried in Mount Li, but it is still in the initial stage and it is still too early to be perfected."

The empress looked at him: "No wonder Prime Minister Zhang said that Mount Li will be a model for the world in the future. Mount Li is really suitable..."

"It's because you are generous and allow the existence of this autonomous region, especially Mount Li is still under closed management, otherwise many things will be difficult to implement."

The empress said: "I don't know how much you have done, but you are obviously lazy..."

Jiang Fan laughed and said: "Didn't I tell you? , lazy people create the world. I am lazy, so I have to come up with lazy ways. For these, I just need to explain an idea, and the specific implementation will naturally be operated by others. I just need to be responsible for judging whether it works or not. Just like this copper coin, I drew the picture and proposed the implementation plan, and Chengxin took care of the details. "

The empress nodded, "So, it is not unreasonable to govern the country with laziness."

Jiang Fan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I am fine in a small range, don't be led astray."

The empress did not comment, pointing to the things in the hands of a small vendor next to her: "Is this a scale?"

Jiang Fan said: "Yes, it's just that the scale standard has been re-established. Let me introduce it to you..."

This stroll took the two of them more than an hour. The night market was still bustling at this time.

Holding a lot of unknown things, Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh that women go shopping regardless of age or status.

Although they ate a lot of food, they were all snacks, and they were still very hungry, especially Jiang Fan, a big eater. Mr. Jiang, who had been complaining about backache for a long time, finally pulled the empress to sit by the river, ordered dozens of delicacies from more than a dozen stalls, found a seat with a good view, and ate happily.

Countless delicacies made the empress's appetite whetted, and she ate no slower than Jiang Fan.

"Try this, it tastes good too."

The empress took it and smiled: "Maybe, it can really make you eat a peaceful world."

Jiang Fan joked: "All roads lead to prosperity."

Although each of these dazzling snacks has its own stall owner, the tables are shared. The person in charge of cleaning the stalls is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She wears an apron around her waist and works very quickly.

While she was resting, the empress suddenly struck up a conversation.

"Isn't this lady working hard every day?"

The aunt was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It's not hard, it's not hard. This kind of work is much easier than before in my hometown."

The empress said: "I'm afraid I won't earn much money from such an errand."

The aunt smiled and said: "What are you talking about? When I was in my hometown, I couldn't earn enough to feed and clothe my family all year round. Now that I'm here in Lishan, nothing has changed. My man works in the workshop and can earn three or three dollars a month. It’s more than a thousand yuan. I have nothing to do, so I come to this night market to do some odd jobs, so I have more than thirty yuan a day.”

The empress said: "The income of about four thousand yuan a month is not too much."

The aunt is obviously also a talkative person, and immediately said: "It's quite a lot. Lishan money is valuable. One penny is a pound of polished rice. Our family of three earns so much, we can have rice and flour for every meal, and we can also have meat for every meal." The prince was kind and gave him a resettlement house. It didn’t cost him anything to study in school, and he didn’t have any other expenses at home. He still had 80% to 90% left every month. I never thought about it before. Dare to think.”

The empress couldn't help but smile when she saw her rosy face, neat clothes, and contentment on her face.

"It seems like this Lishan Road is really a good place."
