After Yang Biao and the others left, Liu Xie sat on the leather sofa placed by Yuan Chang, and his whole body was very unfolding. Now that he has no palace maids and no eunuchs around him, he can naturally indulge himself as he pleases, without fear of his indecent image being seen.

"How do you choose?"

Liu Xie frowned and asked himself in his heart. As an idealistic and ambitious country that is determined to rejuvenate the Han dynasty and build the Han Dynasty into a strong country that surpasses that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie is a little confused at the moment.

Liu Xie's confusion is not the confusion of his own ideals, but the confusion of whether he can build the Han Dynasty into a strong and prosperous one that surpasses Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Originally, because of the strong concept of the predecessors of the Han family, Liu Xie thought that he could do it. However, after his dream was shattered and he learned about the abilities of the hundreds of officials under his command, Liu Xie felt that if he relied on these people, he was afraid that he would not be able to build the country. As Liu Xie thought, most of the hundred officials in the court today are boastful, and there are few who are really talented. Let them talk about the way of the saints, they can talk to you for three days and three nights, but let them tell you how to build this country, it is estimated that few people can say a few words. From today's test, Liu Xie saw the clues. It can also be seen from the development of history that after Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven, the construction of the imperial court basically relied on Cao Cao's team, and few of the officials left by Huan Ling were talented, and those who were talented had already run away.

Therefore, if these officials are relied on to govern the world, I am afraid that the world will be even worse.

"That's it, let's wait and see, don't move!"

After a long time, Liu Xie finally made a decision. Because of today's meeting and testing in the Great Hall, Liu Xie stayed in the office for a short time, and the bell rang around Zhonghai. Of course, for Liu Xiehe and the hundred officials, they didn't know the meaning of the bell, but after the announcement of the officials in Youzhou, they also knew that the bell represented the end of today's official business. At the same time, the officials in Youzhou also told them to go to work every morning after half the hour and leave work after two hours; in the afternoon, they would go to work after half of the hour, and they would rest for two days if they did not work for five days. As for other holidays, they will be counted separately.

"The arrangement of Youzhou Mu seems to be very regular!"

Yang Biao and others are quite satisfied with such working hours, which are different from previous working hours. In the past, the time when they went to court was not fixed at all, it was completely casual, and it was not impossible for the emperor to hold a day and a night when the emperor was happy; in the same way, the emperor was angry, and the same was true. Therefore, the officials are very tired. Now, everything is going according to plan, and it seems to be much easier.

After Liu Xie and the officials walked out of the office, Yuan Chang came with Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others, and Yuan Chang said: "Führer, everyone, if you have nothing to do at night, you can go to the street, maybe there is a program you like." ”

"Hey, Youzhou... Chairman Yuan, isn't there a curfew in Youzhou?"

Yang Biao habitually wanted to shout Youzhou Mu, but remembering that Yuan Chang is now the chairman of Youzhou, and Yuan Chang also changed Liu Xie's title to the head of state, so he naturally changed his words. Since it has been decided to implement Yuan Chang's reform, he will accept it slowly, so Yang Biao changed his name in a timely manner.

"As Commissioner Yang thought, there is no curfew in Youzhou. ”

Yuan Chang nodded and answered Yang Biao's doubts.

Since ancient times, curfews have been imposed in the imperial court. One reason is that people in ancient times had poor night vision, and if they did not implement a curfew, they had to light a large number of candles, which could easily cause fires, especially in ancient times, most of the buildings were wooden structures, and once a fire broke out, the consequences could be imagined; another reason was naturally to prevent the enemy from seizing the city at night. The so-called enemies are not only the enemies of other countries, but also the enemies of the rebel forces. Therefore, the imposition of a curfew is a last resort.

Xu Shu stepped forward and explained: "Führer, Member Yang, Youzhou is relatively lenient in terms of curfew, the main reason is that the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Youzhou has developed a fire source that is easy to extinguish and will not cause a fire; secondly, the people of Youzhou have absorbed Chairman Yuan's suggestion and eat a lot of apples, spinach and other foods, and it is not very difficult to see at night; of course, if there is an enemy who wants to seize the city of Youzhou at night, it is not so simple, if someone dares to come, it is good to teach them the means of Youzhou. ”

"I see, it seems that Chairman Yuan has also made a lot of efforts to lift the curfew. Yang Biao praised without hesitation.

"Commissioner Yang has an overreputation!"

Yuan Chang replied humbly, and then said: "The head of state and you are new to the city, and tonight I will lead everyone to take a walk, I don't know how?"

"In that case, there is Lao You... Chairman Yuan!"

Liu Xie is not hypocritical, he also wants to see the night situation in Youzhou. Of course, not all officials were qualified to follow Liu Xie and Yuan Chang and their ranks. As for the officials who failed the test and were demoted to ordinary officers, they also knew this, but they were also interested in the night in Youzhou, so they went in groups and went on their own.

"Führer, Commissioner Yang, please!"

"Please!"

A few people got into the carriage and drove towards the pedestrian street built by Yuan Chang. The pedestrian street was specially built by Yuan Chang as a street for eating, drinking and having fun, enriching the people's night life.

The pedestrian street is not far from Zhonghai, and it is not close to it, and it took more than a quarter to arrive in the case of a horse-drawn carriage.

"I don't want the night in Beijing to be so dazzling, as if it were daytime. ”

After getting out of the carriage and looking at the situation on the pedestrian street in front of him, Yang Biao couldn't help but sigh. Standing here, you can see that the pedestrian street is brightly lit, and it is basically the same as the day, and if you don't know that it is nighttime, you will mistakenly think that it is still daytime. In addition, from such a distance, you can feel the scene of the busy street in the pedestrian street. After Yuan Chang and Liu Xie approached, all kinds of shouts sounded in their ears in an endless stream.

"Rock sugar gourd, delicious rock sugar gourd, one penny in a string, five pennies in six strings!"

"Exclusive secret cooking cakes, three dollars a piece, no money if it's not delicious!"

"Skewers, skewers, carefully crafted skewers by Youzhou Mu, people who come to Youzhou don't eat skewers, and they claim to have been to Youzhou in vain!"

The shouting in front was normal, but when they heard the last shout, Liu Xie and the others all looked at Yuan Chang suspiciously, and Yang Biao couldn't help but ask: "Chairman Yuan, they use your name like this, do you just let it go?"

"Huh!"

Yuan Chang shrugged his shoulders and laughed helplessly. However, Xu Shu stepped forward and explained: "The head of state and Commissar Yang are afraid that most of the things in this pedestrian street are taught by Chairman Yuan to the people, so that they can make a living. Therefore, feeling the kindness of Chairman Yuan, the people used this method to praise Chairman Yuan. After many attempts to persuade them to no avail, they were allowed to do so. ”

"I see!"

Yang Biao and others were a little surprised, but they didn't expect Yuan Chang's methods to emerge in an endless stream, and even make delicious food, which is amazing. Obviously, there are few people in Youzhou who don't know Yuan Chang's appearance, and when he saw Yuan Chang approaching, the middle-aged uncle who shouted skewers immediately grabbed a large handful of skewers and trotted over.

"Youzhou Mu came, and the small people had nothing to entertain, so they invited Youzhou Mu to taste these skewers. ”

The middle-aged uncle smiled innocently and handed a steaming skewer to Yuan Chang. Originally, this skewer was ordered by another guest, and when he saw that this uncle actually gave it to someone else, he was about to get angry, when he heard the middle-aged uncle call Youzhou Mu, he looked up, and it was really Yuan Chang, and he suddenly lost his voice, and there was a smug smile on his face. The skewers he ordered can be enjoyed by Youzhou Mu, it is simply the green smoke of the ancestors, and he will go back to worship it.

Not only are these people who have been taught Yuan Chang's skills grateful to Yuan Chang, but other people are also grateful to Yuan Chang.

Originally, after nightfall, they returned home and had no extra activities except for making people with their daughter-in-law. Some children of big families can still enjoy singing and dancing, but they have been like this for so many years, and they all feel bored. Who would have thought that Yuan Chang actually lifted the curfew and created a pedestrian street, and the various ways of eating, drinking and playing in the pedestrian street simply opened their eyes, and they only felt that their previous life was the same as that of a turtle. Therefore, for Yuan Chang who brought them such a life, they are naturally grateful to Dade.

"Thank you so much!"

Yuan Chang was not hypocritical, took the skewers, and distributed them to Liu Xie and them one by one. Then regardless of Liu Xie's expressions, they tasted it by themselves, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were also used to it, so they naturally tasted it without hesitation. It was Liu Xie, who saw them for the first time, and was a little hesitant, but when they saw Yuan Chang, they didn't hesitate anymore, put it in their mouths and bit it, and suddenly a peculiar fragrance swallowed down their throats, only to feel that their taste buds were blooming like chrysanthemums, and they didn't know why. I enjoyed the delicious taste of stir-fry at noon, I thought it was rare in the world, but I didn't expect that I could come out again at night. Just these delicacies, moving the capital to Youzhou made Liu Xie and them feel unjust.

"The taste is acceptable, the heat is a little worse. However, it is good to be able to do this in a short period of time. After Yuan Chang tasted it, he commented a little. What made Liu Xie a little dumbfounded was that the skewers, which were already very delicious in their opinion, were not satisfied in Yuan Chang's mouth.

"Hehe, what Youzhou Mu said is that the people will work harder and live up to the high expectations of Youzhou Mu!" The middle-aged uncle smiled and promised seriously, which made people feel what a simple people.

"Hey, old Zhang Tou, now that Youzhou Mu has been changed to the chairman of the committee, your title will change in the future. ”

Xu Shu seemed to be familiar with this middle-aged uncle, and said solemnly: "Now that Chairman Yuan has implemented the new law reform, Youzhou Mu is about to usher in a big change. But rest assured, reform is only good for the people, not bad, and your life will definitely get better and better. ”

"That's nature, Youzhou... Chairman Yuan is doing things, how can we and the grass people not be at ease. ”

Lao Zhangtou is obviously a fanatical pro-Yuan faction, and he doesn't pay attention to the reforms Xu Shu said at all. In his opinion, as long as Yuan Chang did it, it must be right, and they just need to follow.

"Okay, Chairman Yuan will continue to visit the pedestrian street, and you can go about your own business, so you don't have to stay here. ”

Today, the main thing is to bring Liu Xie and them to visit the pedestrian street, so Xu Shu didn't let Lao Zhangtou stay for a long time, so he sent him away directly.

"Yes, yes, then Xiaomin won't disturb Chairman Yuan's interest!"

Yuan Chang often came to the pedestrian street to hang out, and these people would not disturb Yuan Chang. has already sent a handful of skewers to Yuan Chang, and Lao Zhangtou is naturally satisfied.

"Youzhou... Chairman Yuan, come and try my cooking cakes!"

"Hey, what's so good about your cooking cakes, eat more belly, try my rock sugar gourd!"

"Taste my..."

After Lao Zhangtou left, the people around him who were selling other items enthusiastically offered their delicacies, just like a group of strong men who had been hungry and thirsty for many years saw a beautiful woman in front of them. Of course, Yuan Chang was able to get such support from the people, which still made Liu Xie envious.

"Okay, okay, what does Chairman Yuan want to taste, since the meeting, you don't want to do this, and they all disperse. ”

Xu Shu shouted loudly helplessly, and then let the people disperse regretfully. These ordinary people, they have no talent to serve Yuan Chang, and now the means of making a living are still taught by Yuan Chang, and they can only use these to repay Yuan Chang. Every time I come to the pedestrian street with Yuan Chang, there will be such a situation, and Xu Shu and they are also a little helpless. Of course, they are also proud that this is their lord, and being able to get the support of the people shows that they have the right vision and are not following the wrong person.

Let's say that Liu Xie and they tasted the skewers just now, and they seemed to have some desire to eat, Yuan Chang saw it, so he said: "Führer, this street is full of food, don't be in a hurry, if you eat too many skewers, I'm afraid the food in the future won't be able to hold it." ”

"Well, just listen to Chairman Yuan. ”

Liu Xie withdrew his gaze with some regret, and then they followed behind Yuan Chang. When Yuan Chang stopped there, the vendors there enthusiastically offered the food, without the slightest intention of charging fees, without Yuan Chang's teaching, where would they have the current life.

"Whew!"

Another string of iron plate squid went down, and Liu Xie exhaled heavily. The food he tasted along the way almost didn't make him eat. Although the appearance of these delicacies is very different from the imperial food in the imperial palace in the past, in terms of taste, it is not inferior to the imperial cuisine, and even a few points better. If you are in Luoyang City, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to taste these delicacies in my life.

"The Führer and all of you should have eaten enough, and if you like it, you can pack it back and give it to your family to taste. ”

Seeing this, Xu Shu stepped forward and added. Liu Xie's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they didn't hesitate to take this kind of food back to their families to taste, and ordered some of the delicacies they liked. And Xu Shu also consciously stepped forward to pay the bill, this time he naturally had to pay when he packed it back, and he couldn't eat and drink for nothing all the time.

Today's experience of the day, for Liu Xie, seems to have some feelings in a dream. Looking back on it many years later, I still feel very strange.
