Chongzhen looked relaxed and happy, he had heard that the prince's governance of Fengyang was quite political, prosperous, and now he saw it with his own eyes, which was far better than he imagined.

He handed over the horses to the Qianlong Guard, who had arrived, and walked into the street, and the Qianlong Wei did not stop him, allowing him to visit.

On Hongwu Street, the flow of people is bustling, and the sides of the smooth street are very clean, without the slightest sludge and fecal water.

Chongzhen knew that the Ming Dynasty had special cleaning positions in the local government, and the sanitation of the Jingshi was taken care of by the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, but with the emptiness of the treasury and the difficulty of funding, the health of the Jingshi had long been abandoned, let alone the locality.

Chongzhen's face was serious, and he nodded: "No wonder the plague situation in Jiangnan has been greatly controlled, just this registration post, and this clean place, is enough to curb the spread of the plague." ”

The restaurants on both sides of the street smelled of wine and meat, and there was a faint shouting of running halls.

Smelling the aroma of these wines and dishes, Chongzhen was a little greedy, and walked straight into a restaurant with a more elegant name.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Chongzhen felt a kind of retro painting style, and there was some horror, the restaurant was almost full, and the diners were either wearing swords or carrying firearms.

All dynasties, including the Ming Dynasty, have no control over weapons, but they are not allowed to have armor, crossbows and other weapons, but those who carry firearms on their backs are a bit excessive!

Chongzhen was a little frightened, the ones who could run around with firearms on their backs were not officers and soldiers wearing military uniforms, and the prince definitely did not prohibit the people from owning firearms, but in this case, wouldn't he be afraid of these people rebelling?

But he thought about it, if the organizational ability is strong enough, in the event of a sudden war, the prince raises his arms and shouts, Jiangnan can be a soldier for all the people, right? Even training is saved.

Imagining the countless armies carrying firearms on his back, Chongzhen shuddered in his heart.

"Little Er, let's have a rescue soup!"

In the restaurant, a diner dressed as a chivalrous man raised his voice to beckon Xiao Er.

"Rescue soup?" Chongzhen was surprised in his heart, and also beckoned Xiao Er to order one, and asked him what "rescue soup" was?

After the introduction, he finally understood, the original "rescue soup" is called Huainan beef soup, it is said that the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty Zhao Kuangyin was ordered to attack Shouzhou in Fengyang Mansion when he was a general, and he could not attack for a long time, Zhao Jun was trapped in Nantang, and the local people were anxious, so they slaughtered their own cattle one after another, boiled them into a big pot of soup, and sent them to Zhao Ying.

After the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, they broke through Shouzhou in one go, and later Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne and became the emperor through the Chenqiao Mutiny, and the people called it "Divine Soup" and "Rescue Soup".

Chongzhen tasted the Huainan beef soup with local characteristics, while pricking up his ears to listen to the chatter around him.

Talking about the changes in the Beijing Division, a scribe drew his sword with a sonorous voice and shouted: "The civil and military forces of the Beijing and Manchu dynasties are all incompetent, and there is no way to govern the great rivers and mountains empty, and there is more than enough to die!" ”

"The thief is just a clown who jumps off the beam, he used to be powerful outside my Fengyang Mansion, and he was hit by my Jiangnan army!"

"As long as my Tianwu Army makes a move, I can destroy the thieves with a snap of my fingers and hunt down Li Chuang!"

"Why do you need the Tianwu Army to make a move, it is the Tianxiong Army, or the Jingwu Army, the Anwu Army, and the Dingwu Army, which can also wipe out the thieves!"

Talking about the thieves and breaking the Beijing Division, the atmosphere in the restaurant was eager, and a group of righteous people expressed their opinions, some danced swords to help the fun, and some held fire guns and swayed up and down, seeing Wang Zhixin and others fidgeting and far away, lest that guy loaded the medicine and hurt himself.

"As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gives an order, we will give our full support, follow the army to the Northern Expedition, and pacify the Central Plains!"

"Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince's policy of opening the port and revitalizing business, my Shen family has saved some family assets over the years, as long as the crown prince orders the Northern Expedition, my Shen family is willing to help pay 100,000 taels of silver!"

"Good!"

"Shen Gongzi is righteous, come, we will toast you!"

"Righteous men, please!"

“.......”

Chongzhen was dumbfounded when he heard it, and the beef soup in the bowl was not fragrant, and from the words of these people, he could clearly feel that the people in Jiangnan were convinced by the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

Not to mention the other provinces in the south of the Yangtze River that he has not been to, at least in Fengyang Mansion, the appeal of the prince can be said to be the prosperity of all the people.

Out of the restaurant, looking at the bustling flow of people, the people were peaceful, Chongzhen thought a lot in his heart, and began to think in his heart, whether he should do it as an emperor? Do you want to learn from Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, take the initiative to abdicate, and proclaim himself the emperor?

Wang Zhixin didn't have as many thoughts as the emperor, he looked at the prosperity and stability of the city, and thought of those officials elsewhere in the Ming Dynasty, who didn't do the right thing, so that the people were not able to make a living, and the thieves kept breaking the Jingshi, and he was resentful in his heart.

He snorted, spat thick phlegm on the ground, and secretly cursed a traitor in his heart.

The people passing by around him were all staring at him with strange faces, some with hatred on their faces, and some with schadenfreude.

The king's heart is depressed, isn't it just spitting? As for being so disgusted? It's so civilized.

A dragon guard beside him said lightly, "You're in trouble." ”

Wang Zhixin was a little confused, and just wanted to ask what trouble our family could have? I saw several people wearing yar-caps and black armor striding towards him, pointing at him and saying, "Spitting, a fine of ten cents!" ”

"What's the situation? Who are you? ”

Wang Zhixin was a little stunned, and his words were very soft, because the three people in front of him were all holding thick wooden sticks, and one of them was carrying a fire gun......

The man with the firearm on his back held his head high and said, "We are patrolling the streets, you can also call us chengguan!" You spitting can easily incur the plague, don't you know? If you commit a first offense, you will be fined ten cents, and if you commit it again, it will be doubled tenfold! ”

Chongzhen was attracted by the situation here, he didn't speak, silently stayed away from Wang Zhixin, just curious onlookers on the sidelines.

Wang Zhixin was unhappy, looked at the three of them suspiciously, and frowned: "What a thing!" We...... We've only heard of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and we've never heard of any street patrols, so you're here to rip off the bamboo! ”

The chengguan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he shouted: "You old white face is still not convinced? If your attitude is too bad, you will be fined 50 yuan! If you dare to resist law enforcement again, I will arrest you and reform! ”

As he spoke, several similarly dressed chengguan walked towards him, carrying thick sticks and locking the king's heart with their eyes like eagles.

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, and there were more and more so-called chengguans, Wang Zhixin, the celebrant and eunuch who was out of the house, immediately coaxed, obediently paid the fine, and ran out of the crowd in embarrassment.

Chongzhen's heart sank, this law enforcement strength is amazing!

With such a ferocious attitude of the law enforcers, if they treat the good people and violence against the people, it will lead to the misery of the people and provoke civil unrest; If law enforcers treat the wicked in this way, it can also crack down on crime, deter crime, and stabilize society.
