Wanli 1592

Chapter 1294
Zhu Yuanzhang hoped to build houses for the poor all over the world, killed corrupt officials ferociously, and showed sympathy and care for the common people throughout. Although the government died, the life of the common people during the Hongwu period was undoubtedly a little easier.

Xiao Ruxun didn't know whether his policies would continue after his death, but at least when he was still alive, he would let the common people relax, let them breathe as much as he could, and sow the seeds of hope so that they could read and write.

As long as you can read and write, you have the hope of changing the future, no matter how slim, at least there is.

The stronger the central government and the more stable the people, the stronger the Great Qin will be.

As for the level of sports, the polo game is only a small step in this link. Through the polo game held in front of the vassal state, Xiao Ruxun plans to promote them to the vassal state.

Step by step in this way, a sports event similar to the Commonwealth Games will be realized, and the exchanges between Daqin and the vassal states will be enhanced.

With Xiao Ruxun's status today, what he likes, the people below will naturally rack their brains to cater to and flatter him. This is his goal, to spread these movements to Daqin and the entire vassal state through his own prestige, and pull Open the curtain for sporting events.

The three major events of football, polo and basketball that are now popular in the Great Qin Army are very popular among the soldiers, and gradually they are also welcomed by the common people in the capital.

If there is time, when there is an army match, many ordinary people will drag their families to watch it, so that it has become a habit now that whenever the army matches, someone will notify in advance, and then the people below will automatically Get organized and go to the game.

Today this army will fight against that army, and tomorrow that army will fight against this army. The confrontation between the army and the army is over. If the young and old are still not enjoying themselves, then come and do it yourself, and make a small-scale competition. you are.

It is better to promote such activities to the people little by little than to chat in teahouses in twos and threes.

The prosperity of Longwu gradually developed, which can be observed with the naked eye, as evidenced by the hawkers on Jingshi Avenue and the crowds of people coming and going.

There are so many commodities, so many transactions, and the increasing business tax amount of the five major treaty ports, everything shows that the prosperity of Longwu is coming.

For this point, Buyan Khan, Weng Guodai and Li Yan who wandered in the streets all had a deep understanding.

After arriving in Beijing, they spent a few days to understand the procedures of the Ministry of Rites, and after learning some things with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they entered the stage of free activities.

Daqin officials don't have too many restrictions on them. Except for some important places where they can't set foot, the business district is completely open without restrictions.

The commerce in the capital of Daqin is naturally quite prosperous. How have the monarchs of the vassal states and the tribal chiefs on the northern grasslands seen such prosperous commerce?
The market opens very early in the morning, and the night market will continue to open until midnight. The real market closing time is only about three hours, and there are always merchants hawking during the rest of the time.

The Great Qin Emperor didn't even have a curfew. Although the city gates would be closed at night, the city was still prosperous.

What makes these people even more interested is that the roads in the entire imperial capital are paved with bricks and stones, not the muddy roads they are familiar with. The roads of the Great Qin Imperial Capital are all paved with bricks and stones, which are quite smooth and tidy. It's very comfortable to come, and you don't have to worry about your shoes getting dirty, and you don't have to worry about the rainy road surface being so bad that you can't walk.

They thought that only the palace had masonry pavements, but it turned out that there were also masonry pavements on the street.

Moreover, there is no bad smell or smell in the capital of Daqin, and there is no dirty thing on the streets, even in the small alleys, no one defecates indiscriminately. Instead, there are many buildings called "public toilets". If many pedestrians have three urgent needs, they will enter it to relieve themselves.

"His Majesty the Emperor likes to be clean and tidy, and thinks that hygiene is very important, so the ground in the capital is not only paved with bricks and stones, but also has many public toilets for pedestrians to relieve their hands. There are also many sweepers on the road who are responsible for cleaning.

Moreover, in order to prevent some people from persisting in bad habits, His Majesty the Emperor also stipulated punishment measures. Those who defecate anywhere will be taken to the government to be beaten and whipped, and their trousers will be stripped off in public, and they will be beaten and whipped, and then they will be fined. After a while, no one dared to defecate anywhere in the capital. "

Regarding Buyan Khan's doubts, the translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who followed him answered this way.

"Oh, I see."

Buyan Khan was like a grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, stunned by the cleanliness of the Great Qin Emperor's capital and all kinds of novelty.

Recalling the messy appearance and bad smell in his own tribe, Buyan Khan only felt that the huge gap made him extremely frustrated and depressed.

As the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, what kind of life did he live?
As the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, what kind of life did Xiao Ruxun live?
How good would it be if I could live like this?

He thought so quietly.

He didn't even dare to think boldly, because when he was walking, he could always see groups of elite soldiers patrolling with weapons.

Under the prosperity, it is supported by a strong military force, and some people don't even dare to think openly and honestly.

Coincidentally, Weng Guodai also felt the same way. Of course, as far as he is concerned, he has no ideological burden. He only feels that people in Daqin live in a fairyland, while he lives in a pigsty.

Brick and stone pavement, beautiful and warm houses, magnificent high-rise buildings, carved dragons and phoenixes, and all kinds of gadgets, fragrant snacks...

The gap is so big that people look up to it.

The strength of the Great Qin Empire is really not ordinary.

Weng Guodai looked at a row of more than a dozen stately patrolling soldiers with sophisticated weapons passing by, and ruthlessly suppressed his thoughts.

Li Yan and the officials who accompanied him felt the same way. It was the first time for Li Yan to come to Beijing, but the officials who accompanied him had been coming to Beijing to work in the pre-Ming Dynasty. After watching them all the way, they also felt that the changes were amazing. tongue.

"In the past, the capital city didn't look much different from Wang Jing, except for the area covered and the number of buildings. Looking at it now, it looks completely different."

The officials around Li Yan who often went on missions to the former Ming and Daqin couldn't help sighing.

The officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came out together said quite complacently: "That's natural. What His Majesty is doing today is unexpected in every way, but after finishing the work, what we have seen and heard is incredible even for us. Let's say that the capital has long been Sometimes people defecate and defecate everywhere, the alleys and dark passages are smelly, and even dead animals can be seen.

Thinking about it now, how can this be considered an imperial capital?But now everything is fine, the capital is so clean, the masonry roads are not muddy at all, and there are debris on the ground that will be cleaned up, and anyone who dares to urinate and throw away dirty objects will be arrested immediately and brought to the government If you hit the board and fine money, everything will naturally get better over time. "

Li Yan nodded as he walked, looking at the constant pedestrians, small merchants hawking on the side of the road, and the high-rise buildings in the style of the capital, and then recalling the "Wang Jing" that he was proud of, he couldn't help feeling extremely excited. sense of loss and loss.

This gap is really not that big.

If I chose Neifu that day to be the prince of Daqin and live in the capital, would it be possible to do the same?
Such thoughts only appeared for a moment, and then were extinguished.

Rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. In North Korea, he still has power. In Daqin, he can only be an idle waste prince. What else can he do?
Li Yan saw this very clearly.
