I am the king in troubled times Chapter 110 A travelogue that shocked the mainland
My name is Han Jingyi, Hu Yue, and I came to Jixiang with the mission in mid-February.
Since the last time the madman left, the contacts have also left, and they don't have a lot of transactions each time, so we need to reopen the business channel.
We brought the mascot's favorite baking soda and beef, and the shearling, and wanted to exchange some liquor, soap and mosquito coils with them, which are very popular in Hu Yue.
There was surprisingly no one to intercept them along the way, which made the head of the fleet very curious.
After arriving at Jixiang, I learned that this place has just experienced a battle in which the weak defeated the strong, so that the unimpeded flow of the road can be understood, and where the strength is is the courage of the strong.
The length of the lake embankment can not be seen at a glance, on the lake embankment, ten steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, they are wearing traditional armor, holding spears, majestic.
I could see the walls of the embankment, the traces of the war everywhere, the people standing on the ladders to wash the stains, even if we passed by them, they didn't attract the slightest attention, they were so focused and persistent.
This didn't surprise me, the first thing that caught my eye was the peculiar architecture.
Yes, the buildings here are peculiar, tall and big, and they look very solid.
Glass was widely used on windows, and some were lavishly affixed to the walls outside the building, as was the case in the two huge six-storey buildings.
When the boat crossed the Times Bridge, I couldn't help but look back at the two tall buildings, and I was fascinated by the dazzling light reflected from the glass......
According to the mascot, there was a private mansion of the lord that was used to receive foreign guests and wealthy merchants, and it was difficult for a person like me to live in, which made me very frustrated.
The greenery here is very good, there are green trees everywhere, flowers and plants everywhere, but the road is neat and unusual, very refreshing.
When I first stepped on the concrete road, I fell in love with it, it was flat, sturdy, psychedelic in color, and especially very comfortable when moving quickly in a horse-drawn carriage.
There are a lot of pedestrians, they walk in the shade of the greenery on both sides, beside the flowers, under their feet are blocks of different colors, composed of different shapes of floor tiles, they do not store water, do not dust, excellent paving materials.
The avenues are filled with horse-drawn carriages, with the occasional rickshaw passing by, which the locals call rickshaws.
There is a small house-shaped garbage can every few miles from the roadside, and sanitation workers in uniform regularly clean it up, including keeping the road clean.
The people here are very friendly to everyone, I didn't notice that these sanitation workers were discriminated against, and some passers-by would take the initiative to greet them, and their smiles were so natural and simple.
The Nanxingyao River is an auspicious mother river, carrying the great mission of connecting the north and the south, and the boats on it are constantly coming and going.
However, they are all flat-bottomed boats, and the superstructure is very low, which allows them to cross the ingenious bridges, which is the pride of the mascot and the cornerstone of promoting the development and exchange along the two rivers.
The ship carries wooden boxes, which are said to contain materials, which is convenient for lifting and improving the efficiency of loading and unloading.
From this, I thought that on the river east of Hu Yue, there was not even a decent wooden bridge, and I inevitably felt a little inferior in my heart.
The auspicious city wall is much shorter than I expected, but it looks like it should be very strong, with a lake embankment and Dongshan Pass guarding the gate, if I were a lord, I might not even be able to build a city wall.
I have been to Xiazhou City in Great Xia, and I have also been to the main cities of several larger territories, but when it comes to prosperity and the spiritual outlook of the people, they are not as good as here.
I can't find the right words to describe what I see and feel, here, I don't feel like an outsider, I don't worry about being bullied, I feel warm and at ease like a drop of water in the embrace of Xingyao Lake.
The architecture in the city is undoubtedly luxurious, and if each family's house is placed in Hu Yue, it is a lot of wealth.
Our rare glass, kitchenware, sanitary ware, daily chemicals, etc., are all standard here, and the price is quite low, but we have to pay nearly ten times the price to buy it, which may be the regional difference.
In addition to the beautiful buildings, I was also surprised by the security environment here.
I can now understand why people are crowding their heads to enter Jixiang, it is said that more than 1,000 people have poured in today alone, and they can live in Jixiang after receiving temporary ID cards.
I didn't see checkpoints, I didn't see disputes between the government and the people, and I didn't see beggars, which shocked me.
To do this, I asked some passers-by, most of whom are migrant workers, and locals rarely roam the streets.
They say that auspiciousness does not have these common exploits in foreign collars, and as long as you are willing to contribute here, you will definitely get corresponding rewards, so you can't see beggars.
Even some people who are disabled and unable to work will be cared for by the government or the lord's office, as long as you are an auspicious lord.
The tax here is very single, and it is also very clear, there is no miscellaneous miscellaneous tax in other territories, the agricultural tax is only collected once a quarter, and the commercial tax is only charged once per transaction, all of which are clearly marked with prices, open and transparent, and there is no bullying for children.
No one would ask for a card on taxes, because the cost would be so great that they would cost their lives.
When I asked if the quality of the mascots was so high, I was shocked by their answers.
The education popularization rate here is quite high, regardless of gender, children and adults will enjoy basic educational benefits, Jixiang has a whole set of education system that is different from Daxia, from Mongolia to middle school, from middle school to college or university, to Taixue, and finally to the graduate school.
It is said that people's energy is limited, and for research, it is only possible to achieve success by choosing a deep study.
The gentlemen here are well paid, they have an annual assessment project, and the results of the assessment determine their income, and those who are very poor may even lose their jobs.
Three years ago, there was not a single school here, and three years later, there are no less than 40 schools and colleges all over the place, which is an amazing achievement, and I wonder how so many teachers have been trained.
Later, I learned that Jixiang's current highest university is Jixiang Normal University, a place dedicated to training teachers, which is incredible. The mascot has refined education to such an extent that it is unattainable in any territory, in any kingdom, but the mascot has done it.
Sent by the ghosts, I went to the Yongsheng School in the west of the city to meet their real Mengxue.
Early in the morning, I took a carriage to the main entrance of the school, the children have begun to enter the school one after another, at this time the carriage consciously stopped outside the white line, let the children pass safely, until the officer on duty waved the green flag, they will pass, which is not seen in our place.
To my surprise, the children were all dressed in the same uniform, yes, the same style, the same color, but the size was different.
I applied for a campus tour, but unfortunately I was denied, even if I said that I was Hu Yue's official envoy, which is exactly what I am happy about.
About an hour later, accompanied by a not-so-hurried bell, the children came to the square in front of the school building and lined up, and they actually started to exercise to the sound of drums.
I couldn't tell if it was martial arts or juggling, and the movements were very weird.
However, after in-depth study, it was found that each action has a special role, and the whole set of exercises can exercise almost all joints and muscle tissues of the human body.
The movements of the children were not neat, but I could see that they were serious, like an army of training, which frightened me and made me tremble from the depths of my soul.
I returned to the city a little depressed, and then I remembered that there were nearly 100 international students studying in Jixiang Technical College in Huyue, so I was like drinking two taels of 'Dream Jixiang', blushing, and rushing to the college.
This time I was lucky, the doorman gave me permission after showing my ID, and it was lunch time, and I found Hu Yue's child.
Touching their light, I was fortunate to taste their lunch, three dishes and one soup.
There are many dishes, but you can only choose one meat and two vegetables each time, and if you are interested in everything, you can only wait for the next time or order another one, but you have to pay.
You read that right, their lunch is free, and they are subsidized by the lord's mansion, and they are really lucky to have such a lord, and to be honest, I am a little jealous.
The food tasted so good, no wonder the students in the chef class here were so popular with the Daxia people, I ate two large bowls of rice, and as a last resort, I bought another lunch, like gluttony, without even leaving the juice.
Then I asked them about their life experiences over the past year or so, and one of the most common things the children said was that they were full of expectations for the future.
The hidden meaning of the words is obvious, they have confidence in the skills they have learned, but this is based on the confidence that only exist in the auspicious mode, I don't know what kind of mood they will feel when they return to Hu Yue.
After a few words of encouragement, I went back to the guest house and recorded what I had seen and heard today.
On the second day, I woke up early, wandering aimlessly on Phoenix Avenue, greedily breathing in the air.
The tranquility of the street has long been kissed by passers-by, and although there are many people, it is not noisy, which may be the power of example.
There is a saying in our house that if a bad person joins a team composed of good people, the bad person will gradually become a good person and recognize the good person's code of conduct, and I think this is the case now.
The shops here are all luxuriously decorated, maybe in their opinion, these are just normal configurations, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I feel a bit like a hillbilly entering the city.
The greenery in the city is very good, and there is verdant everywhere, whether it is the riverside or the bridgehead, the square or the street corner, green is the only theme.
Perhaps as the mascot believes, the gold and silver mountains are not as good as the green mountains and green waters.
The climate is not unpleasant except for some humidity, and it is said that the temperature difference here throughout the year is not too large, even in winter, which I can assume, as evidenced by the verdant greenery.
In addition to the fixed shops, there are also mobile stalls in some places, and they have their own fixed locations, and after the morning rush hour, they will clean the surrounding area and then leave quietly.
Again, the power of example is endless, and I suddenly feel that the first half of my life was terrible, and I was a mess!
On the third day, I went to the Seongnam Farm and went to the industrial area along the Lyuin River, but unfortunately my application for a visit was rejected.
On the fourth day, I went to Jianye Town, visited the largest industrial park in Jixiang, I roughly counted, there are no less than 100 large and small factories here, this number makes my scalp tingle.
It is said that this is only the result of two years, and there is still a large area of land to be settled in, and the plan for a new factory in the Lord's Mansion will continue until the land is completely covered by the factory.
In order to support the people to start a business, their lord actually opened a special construction and development bank to provide them with financial support, God, this is crazy, I have fallen in love with the legendary young lord.
In the south of the industrial park, a large number of workers are working on the construction, and after asking, they learned that they are digging an artificial Grand Canal to connect with Lianhua Town in the south.
This is undoubtedly a huge project, the organization of personnel, the management of tools, the supply of logistics, etc., each of which requires strong people to manage.
But the mascot did a good job, as if everyone knew how they needed to behave at what time, everything was in order and in order.
It is said that Jianye Town was the first place to introduce slave leaders, I went to see it, and I couldn't believe it, it turned out that the slaves here lived in a better place than I lived in Huyue.
Each house is a detached two-way yard, which is called a villa according to the mascot. The front and back of the house are lined with green trees and flowers.
Some will grow some fruits and vegetables, while others will simply be used to raise poultry.
Each family has their own land, and the government will assign jobs based on your strengths......
What I want to say is, if only I were a slave and then bought by Jixiang, I am a thousand times better than those who immigrated freely, I don't have to worry about money, I don't need to worry about housing, I don't need to worry about naturalization, I don't need to worry about my body, I don't even have to worry about work, I still have land......
It is no wonder that the slave-turned-mascots were the most enthusiastic to sign up for the army in times of good luck, and I now seem to be able to understand their immigration policy, which was made by the people of true wisdom.
Well, every place here fascinates me and tugs at my soul.
As an outsider, I can walk on any road with swagger and unrestrainedness, and go wherever I want. Of course, the premise is to abide by the rules here, such as military important places are not allowed to go, horse-drawn carriages are allowed to pass the road pedestrians, and so on. The more familiar you are with this place, the more obsessed you will become, and it will be like a devil that makes you want to stop.
For the next few days, I went to Lotus Town, which is a beautiful water town.
Different from Jixiang City and Jianye Town, the buildings here are very distinctive, with pavilions, gardens and ponds, tree-lined paths, birds and flowers, and it is a good place to retire.
Here, the air is sweet, and everyone is drunk!
Ninety percent of the entire auspicious aquatic product supply comes from here, and fish and shrimp, crabs, lotus roots, shellfish, turtles, etc. have become an indispensable part of the mascot's table.
I stayed here for three days, and I tasted all the fresh food and poultry in the world, and I realized that I had gained weight, otherwise why wouldn't I have taken the steps to leave here?
In the end, I still left in three steps, although with reluctance and nostalgia, because tomorrow is the first auspicious clothing exhibition.
I didn't have any idea of a fashion show, but I probably meant to show all kinds of clothes, which is what I understood at first.
On the same day, the clothing exhibition was held in the East Square of Times Bridge.
In the middle is the "T" catwalk, as the mascot is called, surrounded by elaborate seating, and in the back is a dressing room for those who display their costumes.
I swear to God, this is the most unique fashion show I've ever seen.
People in special costumes, oh, mascots call models. One person or a group of them stepped onto the "T" catwalk, posing in various poses to show off the beauty of their costumes to the fullest.
Here, I saw legendary T-shirts, all kinds of professional wear, so-called work wear, military wear, student wear, skirts, gym wear, sportswear, and pajamas.
I never thought that the clothes that are usually indispensable can play with such a wide variety of tricks, but these trendy clothes are dizzying, how to look at how to like it.
I couldn't help but be restless, I bought two tunics, I couldn't wait to change them when I went back, and then admired them back and forth in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, to be honest, I could have been so stylish and handsome.
It is said that this clothing exhibition caused a huge sensation, and the orders of various merchants were endless, so the garment factory once again expanded its production scale and recruited a group of female workers.
The women here are treated very well, some even surpass the men in the family, and the mascot believes that women can also hold up half the sky.
They are filled in hospitals, schools, factories, services, planting, breeding and other industries, and play a huge role in the construction and development of auspiciousness.
There are few mascots, so their lords pay attention to the development of each person and strive to make the best use of their talents.
Although the basic salary of outsiders is not high, they still stand out from the rest of the territory, in addition to housing, food, transportation and other expenses, most of them still have a surplus of one gold coin, including bonuses and benefits, there is also an income of fifteen gold coins a year.
This is unimaginable in Hu Yue, and even in Daxia, it belongs to the high-income group.
If you are naturalized, at least turn it over, what a big attraction this is!
In the following days, I participated in the second commodity fair, I will not say the specific products, except for more than a dozen kinds sold to Hu Yue I know, the remaining nearly 100 kinds are new products.
They are all-encompassing, including entertainment, fitness, sports, home, clothing, catering......
Due to time constraints, I am returning to Hu Yue, and what I have seen and heard in the past few days is only the tip of the iceberg, and I look forward to visiting Jixiang again, or applying to become a resident envoy, so that I will be satisfied.
Han Jingyi, February 17, 57 Xia Yuan calendar.
This travelogue was originally published in the "Auspicious Weekly", and the mascot did not pay much attention to it, but the foreign businessmen respected it very much.
Not surprisingly, this issue of "Auspicious Weekly" was reprinted three times, and with the exchange of merchants, within half a month, this travelogue spread throughout the Great Xia, and then spread to the north until the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The further north you go, the more polarized the attitude towards the travelogue becomes.
In order to confirm the authenticity, many people began to pack their bags and come to auspiciousness.
It's unclear how much of an impact this travelogue had, but Jixiang is thoroughly famous.
