Finally, Jiang Fan came on stage with a smile and gave them a lecture. And the subject of this class, even years later, is still the pride deeply imprinted in their bones, the pride of a nation.
The empress's subsequent words made them understand that the boundaries of the Five Kingdoms would definitely disappear, and sooner or later the world would be unified, and this great and unified nation would stand on top of the world. And they, no matter where they are from, are all Chinese people, the founders of the great Qin Dynasty, and the disseminators of national culture.
"Five hundred students, proficient in academics and powerful in martial arts, are all outstanding young people."
The empress left the academy very satisfied.
"It's a pity that it's not enough, it's too little..."
"If you want your ideas and knowledge to spread throughout the world, you should recruit disciples as soon as possible."
Jiang Fandao: "I have this idea. Next year I want to select a group of outstanding young people from Daqin to enroll as the second class. What suggestions do you have for students?"
The empress suddenly smiled: "Meng Yi has been very proud since I followed you. He will definitely achieve military success this time. His former gangster friends are envious."
Jiang Fan couldn't help but nod: "What a good idea. The first batch of students are all orphans. The second batch should let those dandies who enjoy all the glory and wealth make some contributions to the country."
"It's getting late, what should we eat today?"
Jiang Fan smiled: "Don't you want to see the people's livelihood in Lishan? Let's go to the night market and have a look?"
"Night market?" The empress was stunned.
"Yes, Lishan, there is no curfew. It's fun at night."
The empress suddenly became interested.
"Let's go."
"Don't worry, with the two of us looking like this, we have to clear the place and tidy up when we get there."
So, when the lanterns first came on, two guys in light clothes and hats sneaked out from the back door of the palace...
To be honest, the empress was also shocked by the sight in front of her.
Next to Lishan Mountain is Lishui. The Lishui River, as clear as a jade belt, meanders. The riverside is brightly lit and crowded with people. Countless vendors set up stalls along the river, and the sounds of hawking and laughter come and go.
"They are all from Lishan. As you know, Lishan is not allowed to go out. All farmers and craftsmen live in the city. We must find some fun for them."
The empress nodded: "So you did this?"
Jiang Fan smiled and said, "No, I just like this stuff. For this night market, I even came up with a lot of snack recipes and published the recipes."
The empress suddenly moved her index finger: "Let's go and take a look."
As soon as you entered the night market, it was dazzling. Jiang Fan was also surprised. He didn't expect it to develop to such a scale.
The crowd is bustling, adults and children are enjoying themselves, there are many vendors but they are neat and orderly, and everyone's face is filled with satisfaction.
This scene made the empress suddenly realize, "What a night market."
Jiang Fan first bought two bunches of candied haws, and gave one to the empress: "Shopping while eating, this is the true meaning."
The empress stared at the copper coin in his hand.
"This is not Da Qin currency."
Jiang Fan nodded and spread his palms: "Lishan is independent and self-governing, with closed management. From that time on, I thought there should be Lishan currency. Take a look, what do you think?"
The empress picked one up and saw that the currency had a round square hole and was made of pure copper. On the front were four words: Da Qin Tong Bao, and on the back were two words: Yi Wen.
Very beautifully made.
The empress' eyes flashed: "Great Qin Tongbao?"
Jiang Fan nodded: "Why, do you think it's okay?"
The empress thought thoughtfully: "Do you hope that Great Qin will use this currency in the future?"
Jiang Fan said: "Travels on the same track, books on the same text, and currency measurements must be unified. These are all being tried in Lishan, but they are still in the initial stage and it is still early to perfect them."
The empress looked at him: "No wonder Zhang Zaifu said that Lishan will be a model for the world in the future. Lishan is really suitable..."
"It's not because you were generous enough to allow this autonomous region to exist, especially since Lishan is still under closed management. Otherwise, many things would be difficult to implement."
The empress said: "I don't know how much you have done, but you are obviously very lazy..."
Jiang Fan laughed and said: "Didn't I tell you that lazy people create the world? I'm lazy, so I have to come up with lazy ways. As long as I give you an idea, other people will naturally implement it. I just need to Just be responsible for judging whether it works or not. Just like this copper coin, I drew the picture and proposed the implementation plan, and the details were carefully handled."
The empress nodded, "So it is not unreasonable to say that one should govern a country by laziness."
Jiang Fan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, my small area is fine. Don't be led astray."
The empress was noncommittal and pointed to something in the hands of a small vendor next to her: "Is this a scale?"
Jiang Fan said: "Yes, it's just that the scale standard has been re-established. Let me introduce it to you..."
The two of them actually spent more than an hour strolling around. The night market was still bustling at this time.
Holding a lot of unknown things, Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh, women go shopping regardless of age or status.
Although they ate a lot, they were all small snacks, and the two of them were still very hungry, especially Jiang Fan, a big eater. Mr. Jiang, who had been complaining about back pain for a long time, finally took the empress to sit by the river. He ordered dozens of delicacies from more than a dozen stalls, found a seat with a good view, and opened his cheeks to eat happily.
The countless delicacies whet the appetite of the empress, and she eats no slower than Jiang Fan.
"Try this, it tastes good too."
The empress took it and said with a smile: "Maybe it can really bring peace to the world for you."
Jiang Fan joked: "All roads lead to a prosperous age."
Although each of these dazzling snacks has its own stall owner, the tables are shared. The person in charge of cleaning the stalls is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She wears an apron around her waist and works very quickly.
While she was resting, the empress suddenly struck up a conversation.
"Isn't this lady working hard every day?"
The aunt was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's not hard, it's not hard. This kind of work is much easier than before in my hometown."
The empress said: "I'm afraid I won't earn much money from such an errand."
The aunt smiled and said: "What are you talking about? When I was in my hometown, I couldn't earn enough to feed and clothe my family all year round. Now that I'm here in Lishan, things have changed. The man in my family works in the workshop and can earn three or three dollars a month. More than a thousand Wen, I have nothing to do, so I come to this night market to do odd jobs, and I have more than thirty Wen a day."
The empress said: "The income of about four thousand yuan a month is not too much."
The aunt is obviously also a talkative person, and immediately said: "It's quite a lot. Lishan money is valuable. One penny is a pound of polished rice. Our family of three earns so much, we can have rice and flour for every meal, and we can also have meat for every meal." The prince was kind-hearted and gave him a resettlement house. It didn’t cost any money for the baby to study in school. There were no other expenses at home. He had 80 to 90 percent left every month. These days, I couldn’t even think about it before. Dare to think.”
The empress couldn't help but smile when she saw her rosy face, neat clothes, and contentment on her face.
"It seems like this Lishan Road is really a good place."
