The Holy See has a supreme position in the West, and the woman at the door was stunned for a moment when she saw Adrian's clothes, and then hurriedly bowed and saluted, looking a little excited.

A person of the status of a cardinal archbishop was something that a slave like them was not qualified to see before.

"Oh, honorable Cardinal Archbishop, I am so honored to meet you!"

Ever since he came to Daqian, Adrian has suffered a lot of contempt, and at this time, there was a hint of joy in his heart when he saw the woman so respectful, and he actually smiled a little, who had never smiled.

"What's your name?"

"Alice!"

"Alice, you are very lucky, I want to preach in Daqian, and I will be useful to you in the future, I will rescue you from this demon cave, so that you can concentrate on serving the Holy See."

He thought that Alice would be grateful to Dade, and was even ready for Alice to kneel on the ground and lick his boots, but he never thought that Alice shook her head without the slightest hesitation.

"No, Your Excellency the Cardinal, I will continue to work here!"

Adrian's brow furrowed.

Collody, who was behind him, stepped forward and snorted coldly: "It's your honor that Archbishop Adrian gave you this opportunity, you dare to refuse?!" ”

Monila didn't say anything, but had a hideous and cruel smile on her face.

None of those who dared to disobey Adrian were still alive.

At this moment, the people in the dotted dude seemed to notice that something was wrong, and Hula rushed out a few guys, one of whom pointed at Adrian's nose and cursed.

"Bastard thing! What do you want to do? If you want to eat, we are welcome, if you dare to make trouble, don't blame us for being polite, and don't ask who we are! ”

Although Colony and Monila couldn't understand what the guy was saying, they guessed that it was definitely not a friendly word, and they were furious, and were about to make a move but were stopped by Adrian raising his hand.

"We are here to preach, and we should show our benevolent and tolerant side."

Colony and Monila took a deep look at the guy and remembered his appearance.

The guy didn't take them seriously at all, glared at them defiantly and then looked at Alice.

"Are you alright?"

Alice didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said in a still somewhat lame dry sentence: "Thank you, I'm fine, we just had a little misunderstanding, don't worry, go ahead with you." ”

The guy gave Alice a suspicious look, then left with Adrian a threatening look.

Adrian looked at Alice in some surprise and said, "Do you know how to speak?" ”

Alice bowed slightly and replied respectfully: "I understand some, there is no problem with basic daily communication." ”

A gentle smile appeared on Adrian's lips: "Good." ”

The language barrier was the biggest obstacle he encountered in Daqian.

Jack knew too little talk, and was obviously much better than the woman named Alice, who was of great use to him.

However, he did not arrest people on the street, and asked curiously: "Why do you refuse to serve me?" ”

Alice looked a little frightened, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Alice looked a little frightened, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Adrian's smile was even gentler: "Praise the Lord's kindness, you can rest assured that I will not blame you." ”

Alice hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Excellency the Bishop, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is a kind and generous host, he has arranged for us a palace-like residence, and we can eat the most delicious food every day, and even drink a few beers if we want, and have a rest day every week......"

Speaking of this, Alice's expression gradually became a little excited.

"And I get paid every month...... You know, I've never seen so much money, and he never withheld our wages, and even rewarded us from time to time! And he and his men were friendly, never beat us, and here I never felt like a slave, but a real man! ”

Speaking of this, Alice noticed that Adrian's expression had become a little ugly, so she hurriedly stopped her mouth and said cautiously: "So, I want to continue to stay here and do things for His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes." ”

Alice's words annoyed Adrian.

Serving him is not as good as working for His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes?

At the same time, Adrian was a little surprised, Daqian had such a generous and benevolent nobleman?

It's incredible!

He took a great interest in Li Changfeng.

He ignored Alice and strode into the restaurant to eat.

……

On the other side, Li Changfeng was discussing with Emperor Qianwu about lifting the curfew.

"No, how can the curfew be lifted so easily? If you don't control it, thieves are rampant, how can the people of the capital have a stable life? ”

Emperor Qianwu waved his hand again and again and vetoed Li Changfeng's proposal.

"Thieves? Father, do you think curfews won't stop thieves? How many soldiers are there in the night watchman? Can you take care of the thief? Besides, now there is no one in the capital who can't find a job except for the disabled, where are so many thieves from? ”

Li Changfeng asked rhetorical questions one after another, which made Emperor Qianwu fall into deep thought.

Now, because the industry under Li Changfeng's command continues to expand and provides a lot of labor opportunities, there are indeed many fewer displaced people in the capital, and the security is much better than before.

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Li Changfeng said again: "With the popularization of electric lights, the night in the capital is getting brighter and brighter, and the night patrol soldiers are equipped with bicycles and even motorcycles, and the thieves are not so easy to start, so why worry so much?" ”

Emperor Qianwu was a little moved.

Li Changfeng made a trump move: "Father, the cancellation of the curfew will inevitably promote the development of the night economy, and the vendors set up stalls in the night market, you can also charge more taxes, right?" In this way, the circulation of goods and commodities can be accelerated, so that the rapid development of Daqian! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu finally relented: "It's not unreasonable, it's just that the curfew has existed since ancient times, and it may be inappropriate to cancel it rashly." ”

Li Changfeng deliberately stimulated: "Father, you are a generation of heroes, when did you become so indecisive?" ”

Emperor Qianwu glared at Li Changfeng fiercely: "Radical generals, right?" You think I can't see it? ”

Li Changfeng said indifferently: "Erchen is not for the sake of doing a good job?" Father, if you don't agree, you won't say anything, and you can just save some money, and you don't have to engage in any night markets. ”

Emperor Qianwu suddenly became interested: "Oh? Are you going to pay for a night market? ”

"That's right, Erchen plans to find a street as a pilot to install electric lights, light up after the night market opens, divide the area to provide a place for vendors, attract the people of the capital to consume, once successful, it will definitely drive the night market economy of the entire capital."

Speaking of this, Li Changfeng sighed deliberately.

"Since you don't agree with my father, I won't be reluctant, anyway, the little money collected for the booth fee is really not worth it."
