Chapter 824: Experience it for yourself
The more he knew, the more Xiahou Wu felt that this Xinghua Empire was unfathomable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć In particular, when Xiahou Wu suddenly realized that he had begun to agree with the policies of the Xinghua Empire in some aspects, his worries were even greater.
After being silent for a long time, Xiahou Wu didn't want to listen to too much of these gossip, if there was no way to get the exact news, he could only stay at the stage of speculation, which was not any benefit to Xiahou Wu. Therefore, Xiahou Wu urgently needed exact news about the Xinghua Empire.
Therefore, Xiahou Wu instructed Lin Heng to collect as quietly as possible from everywhere, and each issue of the newspaper published the detailed contents of the two candidates' policy programs.
Since it coincided with the election of the prime minister of the Xinghua Empire, this was undoubtedly the best time for Xiahou Wu to have an in-depth understanding of the Xinghua Empire, and both candidates published their respective policies in the newspapers, so that Xiahou Wu could make full use of this channel to study the national policies of the Xinghua Empire in detail.
Therefore, Xiahou Wu has already made up his mind, after he wants Lin Heng to collect these relevant newspapers, he is going to bring them back to the Xia Kingdom, so that the courtiers of the Xia Kingdom can also have a good understanding of what the high-level officials of the Xinghua Empire are doing, and what kind of mode the officials of the Xinghua Empire are communicating with their people, etc.
This is not to destroy his prestige by growing others' morale, but the matter of Xinghua Kingdom is indeed an eye-opener for Xiahou Wu, so Xiahou Wu believes that it is also necessary for the courtiers of Xia Kingdom to experience this unique political atmosphere.
As the subordinates just discussed, in the Xia Kingdom, there was no such free and relaxed political environment, and the people of the Xia Kingdom never dared to discuss state affairs in public, let alone any ordinary people who dared to question the emperor's announcement. Otherwise, as long as it is discovered, it will be condemned as a great crime of treason, which is a great crime that is possible for the family and the family.
Therefore, even Xiahou Wu himself was extremely shocked that there was such an enlightened environment in the Xinghua Empire, but he did not show it in front of his subordinates.
After hearing Xiahou Wu's order, Lin Heng immediately nodded yes.
"Also, since Xinghua allows the people to talk openly and freely about national affairs, perhaps, the people of Xinghua are well aware of the policy outline of Xinghua and something, and this is also a channel for us to investigate. Therefore, in addition to collecting relevant newspapers and magazines, you also have to inquire around, or sneak into the people, pay attention to the hot topics of the people, and find out if there are any special national events in Xinghua recently?" Xiahou Wu thought for a while, added another sentence, and said.
Originally, Lin Heng agreed with Xiahou Wu's order, but after hearing this additional words, Lin Heng's expression became a little strange. I saw him frown, as if he couldn't think of something, and asked Xiahou Wu: "My lord, actually, we shouldn't have to inquire about these news among the people, right? First, the Xinghua Cabinet has always advocated the content of its work, or the formulation of policies and decrees, etc., all of which are open to the people of Xinghua State, so that the people can understand in detail what the cabinet has done for the people after it came to power, or whether it is really In their posts, they do things for the people and the country, etc., so that their people can directly supervise the political performance of cabinet officials. In fact, as long as we buy the newspapers of the past, we should be able to know what has happened to the Xinghua Empire recently; second, if we infiltrate the people of the Xinghua Empire to check the news, it will be easy for people to see through it. Because we don't know the content of the Xinghua Empire's past governance, we are afraid that if we join the discussion among the people, it will be easy for people to discover the fact that we are ignorant of it. Therefore, I think it is better not to show up too much in the Xinghua Empire. ā
Lin Heng's concerns are also reasonable, but Xiahou Wu's approach is that only by going deep into the tiger's den can he get the tiger. However, his idea is that he understands personally, Lin Heng is the one who goes to carry out the task, if he feels unsure, Xiahou Wu knows that if he continues to be reluctant, it may not necessarily play a positive role in the matter.
While thinking about it, Xiahou Wucai suddenly recalled that Lin Heng proposed to obtain information from the 'past' newspapers and periodicals of the Xinghua Empire, which made Xiahou Wucai curious, so he then asked: "How do you know that you can get information from the previous newspapers?"
"This is what I heard from several Xinghua people in the tavern when they were arguing about a system issued by the Xinghua Empire. Lin Heng informed Xiahou Wu of his source so that Xiahou Wu knew that his statement was certain and credible.
Then, Lin Heng paused, still with that somewhat strange expression on his face, and continued: "At that time, it was a few ordinary Xinghua ordinary people, and they were arguing about the education system issued by the cabinet. Some people think that education should adopt an elite model and cultivate the most promising talents, but at the same time, some people oppose it on the spot, arguing that education should be universal, that every child should have the opportunity, and that all citizens of the Xinghua Empire should have the right to basic education as much as possible. Moreover, there are many people who believe that it is difficult for many people to see their talents when they are children, and that educational differences can lead to educational errors, and if not everyone can be educated, then those who are truly gifted will not have the opportunity to develop their talents......"
"Let's talk about the point!" Xiahou Wu frowned, what he wanted to know was not the education issue of Xinghua Kingdom, but why Lin Heng said that the previous issues of Xinghua newspapers and periodicals could provide the information he wanted.
When several people were arguing, they took out a few old newspapers, and they tried to use the decrees and post-administration data in the previous newspapers to convince each other. At that time, I peeked at it. In particular, they were heard that some newsagents would have a centralized disposal of expired newspapers. When the time comes, we only need to buy expired newspapers and see the recent changes in the Xinghua Empire. Lin Heng was worried that Xiahou Wu would be angry, so he hurriedly finished speaking.
Xiahou Wu was stunned when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he said, "You go buy some old newspapers now!"
"Yes, my lord!" Lin Heng hurriedly said, he was really afraid that Xiahou Wu would be angry. Eighth-level professional grandmasters, but they are all powerful people, if they really want to start a fire, it is a very terrifying thing.
Lin Heng left his residence, and Xiahou Wu then made a decision that he would also go out to have a look and visit the tavern himself. Xiahou Wu became a high-level professional, and most of the time, he was either enjoying or cultivating. He rarely appears in the crowd and goes to some good places.
This time, Xiahou Wu wanted to go out for a walk, and he also listened to Lin Heng's story, and he felt very curious. He wanted to see for himself the situation of the people under the rule of the hinterland of Xinghua Kingdom, and to experience it for himself, whether he could still find some different places.
Xiahou Wu went out alone, and he deliberately changed his temperament. An eighth-level professional suddenly became an old man in his sixties and seventies, armed with a cane, and no one would find out the secret that he was an eighth-level professional.
Xiahou Wu once understood that Xinghua advocated respecting the old and loving the young, and treated the elderly and young children with special tolerance. At the very least, the Xinghua police will not randomly check the ID card of an elderly person for no reason. Moreover, if he pretends to be an old man, Xiahou Wu can also use the excuse that he is not a resident of Wangdong City, but an old farmer, and deliberately goes into the city to take a look.
Of course, Xiahou Wu was only on crutches, and in terms of action, he did not pretend to be an old man, but played the role of being old and strong.
Xiahou Wu walked alone on the streets of Wangdong City, passed through the crowd, and found that the prosperity of Wangdong City was not weaker than some big cities in Xia Kingdom.
"Uncle, be careful. ā
"Uncle, do you want to give it a try? We are doing a free tasting and preferential activity for the elderly. ā
"Grandpa, do you want me to help you?"
"Grandpa, are you lost, where do you want to go, I can take you there. ā
"This uncle, do you want pork, it's cheap, sell it to you. ā
Xiahou Wu traveled all the way, and was almost confused by some people in Wangdong City. Many people treated him very kindly, both adults and children, and they were very friendly to him. With this friendly attitude, Xiahou Wu once thought that Xinghua was a good country. Xiahou Wu was suddenly taken aback, he realized that the attraction of Xinghua Kingdom was not weaker than that of Xia Kingdom. If Xiahou Wu was not worshiped by the royal family of Xia Kingdom and enjoyed the favor of the royal family of Xia Kingdom, he might choose to establish a family in Xinghua Kingdom.
Xiahou Wu's main target was a teahouse in front of the Wangdong City Vocational Club. According to Xiahou Wu's judgment, the tavern in front of the professional hall in Wangdong City must be different from ordinary taverns. Here, Xiahou Wu may still be able to hear some of the attitudes of the professionals towards Xinghuaguo.
The Vocational Association is a guild hall built by the orders of Xinghua's domestic lords, and it is a place for dealing with domestic and foreign professionals. On the one hand, the vocational association is responsible for managing the professionals, arranging some affairs for the professionals, providing some jobs, and giving the professionals. If the professional has no job, no stable income, and is not restricted, the professional is easy to bring trouble and harm to ordinary people. On the other hand, the vocational hall also has the function of recruiting professionals. Under the auspices of the Vocational Association, it is difficult for professionals to suffer injustice in Xinghua Kingdom. Most professionals are self-conscious people, and they become professionals to live a better life, not to engage in violent activities. In addition, most of the professionals are family people. Their families live in Xinghua Kingdom, and if they encounter any trouble, the vocational association will also send someone to supervise and deal with it to prevent unjust cases.
Of course, if it is a professional who maliciously violates the law, the professional association will also cooperate with the government and issue some bounty tasks, so that some other professionals can choose freely.
The teahouse in front of the vocational hall is called Yipin Teahouse, which specializes in tea and sweets, and there are storytellers and singers who take turns performing in it. Therefore, under normal circumstances, there are many customers in Yipin Teahouse. Not to mention that it is full every time, but the attendance rate of four or five percent can still be maintained.
"Hello, uncle. I am a small two, especially for you. Our store's Yipin Teahouse, each time you consume, you need to charge a seat fee of five copper coins in advance......"
Xiahou Wu had just picked a spacious seat on the first floor of the teahouse and sat down, when a shopkeeper came over with a smile and told him the rules of the teahouse, and then asked him what service he needed.
"I want to have tea and I want to have some snacks. Xiahou Wu smiled slightly, took out five copper coins, and handed them to the shopkeeper. He was not dissatisfied with the shopkeeper's statement. This kind of rule can, to a certain extent, refuse those idle characters to enter the teahouse and keep the teahouse quiet. Under normal circumstances, a professional would not care about a few copper coins. Xiahou Wu can already be sure that this is a hotel that mainly provides consumer goods for professionals.
"Okay, uncle, what kind of tea do you want to drink? I introduce you to drink a poinsettia tea, which is a characteristic of the teahouse, and it will not cost you extra. In addition, we also have cakes, snow cakes, mung bean cakes, potato chips, and other sweets. The shopkeeper took the copper coin and said with a smile.
Xiahou Wu was stunned when he heard the words of the shopkeeper. The few dim sums that the shopkeeper just talked about were unheard of.
"Are these snacks a specialty of the city?" asked Xiahou Wu.
"Yes!" said the shopkeeper with a smile, "Uncle, I'll tell you quietly." The dim sum at the Ilpin Teahouse is a wholesale food that is shipped directly from the capital. In general, these snacks are reserved for government departments and the military. You have to have a relationship to buy. ā
Xiahou Wu was a little curious when he heard this, he took out three one-yuan gold coins, handed them to the shopkeeper, and said, "If it's not too expensive, bring me some of everything." ā
The shopkeeper collected Xiahou Wu's money, quickly wrote a list, and handed it to Xiahou Wu, which recorded Xiahou Wu's request and the amount of money he had paid.
"Uncle, you put away this voucher slip! This slip proves that you have paid the bill. As soon as I bring the food over, I'll take it back again. The shopkeeper smiled.
Xiahou Wu nodded and put away the list.
The shopkeeper left to prepare tea and snacks, and Xiahou Wu began to look at the situation inside the Yipin teahouse.
At this time, there were a lot of guests in the Yipin Teahouse, and fifty percent of the seats were seated. Moreover, on a small high platform, a man dressed in the costume of a literati is commenting on a story.
Regarding the storyteller's story, Xiahou Wu didn't care at all. The thing that Xiahou Wu cared about was the chat content of the professionals in the teahouse.
Because Xiahou Wu is an eighth-level professional, his strength is superb. Therefore, he is in the Yipin Teahouse, and he can hear whoever he wants to hear. Even the guests on the second floor, Xiahou Wu, who was sitting on the first floor, could clearly hear the sound of their conversation. Moreover, Xiahou Wu can also clearly judge the approximate strength of the guests in the teahouse according to the person's breath, blood circulation and other movements.
