Zhao Qi They spent an unprecedented Spring Festival at sea very calmly, and in Yumen Pass, countless fireworks have dyed the sky colorful, for the Han who has researched high-energy military gunpowder, it is not difficult for the low-grade gunpowder of black powder to be released to the civilian market.

Of course, these civilian markets are mainly fireworks, and the production of fireworks and firecrackers is also carried out by official firms, to put it bluntly, gunpowder is still controlled within the official channels, and fireworks and so on are also set off within the official control range, and ordinary people basically can't buy them.

It is estimated that it will take a few years before it will gradually open up.

Huo Gang was standing on the balcony on the third floor of the Chief's Mansion at the moment, beside him was Li Lizhi in new clothes, and standing behind the right was Mingyue and Xia Zhu, today is the Chinese New Year, they have all returned, and they are naturally different from other ordinary people on this special day.

The Han government has officially closed yesterday, of course, there are some departments, even if it is the New Year, there are people on duty, these traditions are from some of the experiences of Huo Gang in later generations, every Han people have actually undergone a complete education, and the people of this era, as long as they are given a good life, it can be said that they are more simple than the people of later generations.

So even the people who work overtime have no complaints, because they know that their families are happily lighting bright candles at home, eating Chinese New Year's Eve meals with fish, meat and even vegetables, guarding the roaring stove to keep the home extremely warm, and then the family is there to play poker that is said to have been researched by the leader to keep the year, which they could not have imagined before.

Even ordinary people live like paradise, let alone those who live a richer life? Therefore, although those of them who stick to their respective posts cannot reunite with their families, their hearts are extremely hot in this cold winter.

The streets of the entire Yumen Pass are extremely clean, and the bright street lamps illuminate the entire Yumen Pass.

"How? Is it good-looking? Huo Gang asked with a smile.

"Look, is this just fireworks?" Li Lizhi's eyes are full of stars, although she came here, Huo Gang didn't have a round room with her was a little unexpected by her, everything else can be said to be exactly the same as the life she imagined, or even better! Because there were many things that she had never thought of before, these things were not luxury, but a novelty.

There were so many new things here, if it weren't for the fact that many of them she had seen with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed them, such as the electric light that completely illuminated the house, she never thought that the thunder and lightning in the sky could be used by people.

Although she now knows that this is just the basic principle of electromagnetism.

And this is just one of countless novelties, those fresh vegetables that can be eaten in winter, fish transported from various lakes, etc., these are not repeated, and more importantly, her life here.

Huo Gang has never restricted her movements, she doesn't have to stay in the palace like her father's concubine, she rarely has the opportunity to go out, if she wants to go out, she can go out at any time.

You can go out shopping, you can go out to eat, you can even go to a theater performance, listen to a book, and so on.

She can do all these things, and in the more than half a year that she has been in Dahan, the time she has spent outside has been longer than the time she has been out of the palace for more than ten years before! Even Huo Gang taught her to ride a horse, took her to see sheep, and even raised her two cats and two dogs in the yard, all of which were more perfect than the countless marriages she had imagined.

Now she just hopes that she can grow up quickly and give him a child, which is her greatest hope.

It's a pity, he said, she has to wait until she is sixteen years old, but she has been here for more than half a year, and her health has become very good, I don't know if it is because she often goes out for activities, some of her frail problems have long been gone, and even her height has grown a lot...... Even the body is much plump.

Of course, Li Lizhen didn't know that all this was the effect of Huo Gang giving her to drink spiritual spring water, her body has gradually become healthier than ordinary people, and Li Lizhen in history died in her twenties, but she is destined not to be like this in this life.

"Yes, this is fireworks, in fact, there are many beautiful things, but we can't make them yet, fireworks can be made very beautiful." Huo Gang smiled, the fireworks in front of them were at best the level that they could buy in some villages in the future.

It's a pity that that the super-large festival fireworks can't be made now, but Huo Gang believes that they will definitely be seen in his lifetime.

"Really? I just don't know how beautiful it can be, so I wish I could see it sooner. Li Liqing's face was full of joy.

"By the way, we might have to go out in a moment." Huo Gang said with a smile.

"Where are you going?" Li Lizhi asked with some curiosity.

"Go and see those soldiers standing guard, today is the most festive day of the year, but without their protection, Yumen Pass would not be so prosperous and peaceful, so let's go see them and bring some dumplings you have wrapped." Huo Gang said seriously.

Condolences to these officers and soldiers guarding the city, and even the people who stick to other posts, this is what Huo Gang is going to do from this year, and the reason why he started doing it this year is because every year in the past, Huo Gang basically spent time with those craftsmen in the industrial city.

The task of the industrial city is heavy, and many factories have almost no holidays during the New Year, so in the past, when Huo Gang was alone, he went to a distant place to condole, as for Mingyue, although she has been with Huo Gang for several years, she is usually busier than Huo Gang, of course, there is another reason that Huo Gang is not married, she is not Huo Gang's wife, and Mingyue is very serious about this.

So she won't appear by Huo Gang's side, but this year is different, Li Lizhen is already married to Huo Gang, so naturally the two of them will visit together this year.

This kind of condolence is certainly a formality, but this form has extraordinary power in this era, and sometimes, some forms seem meaningless, but in fact, the invisible power will make people look sideways.

In addition, the reason why Huo Gang still wants to do this is that he wants to give all the officials of the Han Dynasty an example and a benchmark, he Huo Gang is so low-key, so peaceful to contact every people, if other officials dare to play anything superior, then Huo Gang will naturally have an excuse to clean him up.

The Han Dynasty will have an aristocratic system, which is impossible to eliminate in this era, but this kind of aristocracy, Huo Gang prefers that they are nobles piled up with honor, responsibility, merit, etc., rather than birth, identity and status.

There may be hereditary nobles, but at most it is a hereditary generation, and this kind of hereditary is just a name, and the aristocratic system of the Han Dynasty, Huo Gang hopes to determine their status from now on, so that all the people can hear that the nobles are proud of them, rather than thinking that they are people who cannot be provoked.

As long as such a strategy can be implemented, it won't take too long, it can last for a hundred years, then it will gradually take root in the hearts of the people, maybe after hundreds of thousands of years of inheritance in the Han Dynasty, it will change its taste, but Huo Gang can't manage it so much.

He just tried his best to make the whole country more reasonable, completely reasonable is impossible, and what future generations can't do, Huo Gang can't do.

And the aristocratic system of the Han Dynasty, Huo Gang felt that it was more like various medals of honor in later generations.

"Oh, that's why you made us make so many dumplings during the day." Li Lizhen immediately realized that it was not only her during the day today, but also her four personal maids, and even Xia Zhu and Chunmei, who came back, Huo Gang's maids, plus Mingyue, all did it, and even Huo Gang himself did it.

Didn't use anyone else, just the chef of the Chief's Mansion helped them sort out and clean the ingredients, in addition, even the dumpling filling was chopped out by Huo Gang himself, and they were making dumplings all day, and the dumplings were at least close to two thousand.

Although there are almost twenty of them, they are still very tired, especially Li Liqing, many of them have really never cooked, this is the first time.

But it's precisely because none of them have made dumplings before, so it's very novel, and they are not tired of the day.

The dumplings were frozen directly outside in the afternoon, and they had just eaten some of them, and then the rest of Huo Gang had already been cooked by the chef.

"Hmm." Huo Gang smiled and nodded.

"Alright, let's go out now, I'll get dressed." Li Lizhi said with a smile.

"Good. Let's all go change your clothes and go out together. Huo Gang came back to his senses and said with a smile.

"Yes." Naturally, no one else would object.

Soon, everyone put on winter clothes, and then left the Chief's Mansion together, Huo Gang didn't bring too many people, just left the Chief's Mansion with a total of twenty guards from the Chief's Mansion and walked onto the street.

Yumen Pass is very safe, although there have been some cases in Yumen Pass in recent years, but there are very few vicious cases, so all the people in Yumen Pass are used to the safety of Yumen Pass, not only Yumen Pass, but all the towns in the entire Han Dynasty can be said to be very safe, which is currently incomparable to any country in the world.

All the dumplings were put in the insulated food box prepared in advance, and the guards and night frost behind them carried them, leaving the range where the chief's mansion was located, Huo Gang walked directly to the direction of the west gate, it was impossible for him to comfort everyone, so the first direction he went to was the patrol department closest to him.

In the past few years, the Patrol Division can be said to have made a great contribution to the stability and prosperity of Dahan, and the Patrol Division is equivalent to the police, urban management, traffic police, neighborhood committees and other departments in later generations.

The patrol department in the city is better, there are other departments to share the pressure, and places such as the townships below, because the personnel of other departments cannot be popularized to the countryside for the time being, so the police in that place are more like an all-round person, only what you can't think of, there is nothing they don't do.

The patrol division is not far from the chief's mansion, because they can support anything as soon as possible, because today is the Chinese New Year, there are no people on the street, and there is almost no entertainment at night in this era, and although Yumen Pass also has a place similar to the Qinglou, it is ...... At present, such a place in the Han Dynasty is not a showman, but more like a theater in later generations.

However, these places also have a set time, as for whether the women in these places sell their bodies...... At present, there are no strict legal provisions in Dahan, which can be regarded as tacit consent.

However, for women engaged in this industry, it is strictly forbidden to use methods such as trafficking, and if there are similar methods, it is a violation of the law.

The reason why it is not forbidden is actually related to this era, because there are few entertainment projects, and Qinglou can actually alleviate a big problem, such as some businessmen who have been doing business in Yumenguan for a long time, these people are all coming by themselves, and they have not dragged their families with them, in this era, Qinglou is a place that consumes their energy.

It is impossible for everything to be the same as in later generations, of course, at present, the Qinglou women in Yumen Pass are all from the Tang Dynasty, and there are businessmen who have brought them directly from there. At that time, many of the women in the drama theater were women from the Han side.

Because of these reasons, there is nothing to do even if you go to the street at this time, so Dahan is also curfew, but the curfew time is later than that of Datang.

And now, the streets have been completely quiet, but the people of the patrol department can't rest, after all, it's the Spring Festival, although everyone doesn't come out, but they are all at home to watch the New Year, as long as people haven't rested, there may be all kinds of accidents, so they have to guard.

When Huo Gang and the others walked to the door of the Patrol Division, the two patrols at the door of the Patrol Division immediately reacted, and one of them shouted in a low voice: "Who is it?" ”

"It's the chief." One of the guards who had walked in front immediately walked over and spoke.

"Chief?" The two patrolmen standing guard at the gate were directly stunned, they never thought that the leader would appear here at this time.

"It's me, you guys have a good New Year." Huo Gang had already walked over with a smile, and directly arched his hand at them and said.

After the two patrols saw Huo Gang, they were instantly excited, "First ...... Chieftain...... Hello Chief. The two of them stammered and didn't know what to say for a while, and after stammering for a long time, they reacted, and the two of them hurriedly stood up and saluted Huo Gang.

"Today is the New Year, excuse me, I know that you will definitely not be able to go home today, I will bring my wife to come and see you." Huo Gang said with a smile.
