Both the streets and alleys in the city are covered with cement pavements, which are smooth and clean. Shops are almost everywhere in every corner. In addition to the huge increase in hotels, teahouses and inns due to the population surge, there are even more dazzling sales products. The variety and quantity are surprising. It is difficult to imagine that this is the land of Western Qin. land.
If you look closely, you can see that most of these products are made in Lishan, ranging from needlework and toothbrushes to textile machines and horse-drawn carriages. However, luxury goods stores such as perfume and colored glaze are extremely rare. There are more daily necessities, farm tools, clothing, books, and tool shops. Naturally, this is the arrangement between Jiang Fan and the Empress. The popularization of these can further promote the progress of social production.
Especially the Weishui Pedestrian Street proposed by Jiang Fan two years ago. With the support of cement, it is a three-kilometer-long, 50-meter-wide new street with neat three-story shops on both sides. From foundation laying to capping to handover and opening, , it only took a year and a half to make it, and it was as prosperous as Yangdu. No commercial street among the five countries could compare with it, and even the most prosperous main street in Paradise City was two points behind.
Yangdu, a city with a large city and a large population, was even more prosperous than Moling in Jin Dynasty. Walking on the street, looking at the busy traffic, following the bustling flow of people, and listening to the interweaving of various sounds, Jiang Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. A lot of his own wisdom and sweat were condensed in this.
"Are you proud?" A voice sounded in his ears.
"Hmm...huh?" Jiang Fan was startled, turned around and saw a young man wearing the same cloth. After being stunned for just a moment, Jiang Fan yelled, "Xiao Cui?"
For experts in disguise modification, Xiaocui's makeup skills are really not good, and she can be recognized at a glance.
Of course, it would not be possible for him to be someone else. After all, Xiao Cui also learned from him in Paradise City.
"How did you..." Jiang Fan said a little surprised.
"As you said, I will pay a private visit incognito." The empress looked at him and said, "I didn't expect to meet you. I have enough time."
Jiang Fan chuckled: "Does this mean there is a connection between the two minds?"
"That's it." The empress responded casually: "I'm hungry, what can I eat?"
Jiang Fan looked up at the sky and saw that it was indeed noon. He thought for a moment, pointed not far away and said, "Old place?"
The empress looked at the signboard of Penglaiju and suddenly turned her eyes to the opposite side: "I haven't been to Babaiwei yet."
Jiang Fan looked at it and said, "That's fine, I haven't been there either. Today I'm going to try out what the so-called eight masters are like."
The two of them looked similar, like a pair of brothers, and walked into Babaiwei while chatting.
The decoration style here is quite Jiangnan style. No wonder, Bazhenfang and Baiweiju are both located in the south of Longjiang, but one is in the Xia Kingdom and the other is in the Chu Kingdom.
Like most restaurants of this era, ordering is in the lobby, and there are many wooden signs hanging on the wall behind the counting room, which are the dishes.
Jiang Fan didn't have any trouble, he just asked the waiter to cook some of his specialty dishes.
The waiter was very attentive and quickly led the two of them to a window seat on the second floor, poured tea, and went down to prepare the meal.
The empress looked at the scene outside the window with a smile on her face.
"It's great that the whole world is in this situation."
Jiang Fan also sighed: "It is indeed good to live and work in peace and contentment in a peaceful and prosperous age, but it's a pity that we don't know which year it will be."
The empress stared at him seriously: "Let me tell you something, originally I didn't know what year or month it would be or whether that day would come."
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "I thought you had always had a very firm belief."
The empress hummed: "I have always had a firm belief, but I was not sure that it would be realized in my generation. Until...a fisherman fell from the sky."
Jiang Fan laughed: "How do you know I fell from the sky?"
The empress curled her lips: "No one in the world can find out your origins. You can only be regarded as someone who fell from the sky."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "The one who fell from the sky is Sister Lin."
The empress did not argue with him: "It doesn't matter where you come from, what matters is what you want to do."
Jiang Fan nodded and pointed outside: "I want this."
The empress pondered for a moment: "I remember you asked me, if you achieve this, where will you go?"
"I remember we said that it was still a long way off." Jiang Fan said with a smile.
"Yes... you said that this world is too big, there are more than just five countries, so there is no need to think about it so early."
"So let's think about the things at hand. Why did you suddenly skip work today?"
The empress frowned and said, "You old guys are so annoying, come out and get some fresh air."
"Haha," Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh: "You also have this time?"
The empress snorted: "Are you allowed to have a holiday?"
Jiang Fan nodded repeatedly: "I told you a long time ago that you should balance work and rest, but you always didn't listen."
The empress was a little distressed: "I'm afraid that time is too limited. After I leave, there will still be many things left unfinished. How can I be willing to do so?"
Jiang Fan patted the back of her hand gently: "Brother, we have a lot of time, we should be happy, we must be happy."
brother? The empress was stunned, looked at herself, and said with a smile: "Yes, we are brothers today."
"Then give your brother a name. It's a good name. How about..." He held his chin and thought about it.
"Stop it!" the empress said unhappily: "Your naming skills are not as good as Zhao Er's!"
"Uh-" Jiang Fan choked and suddenly said: "Zhao Gao? Did he help you think of a name?"
The empress hesitated for a long time and then said slowly: "Jiang Xiaobai."
"Pfft..." Jiang Fan almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
"Jiang Xiaobai, haha, forty-two degrees? Hahaha..."
He slapped the table and almost laughed to tears.
The empress frowned: "What forty-two degrees? What do you say? It sounds better than Xiao Cui."
"That's, that's..." Jiang Fan was speechless and felt suddenly in a good mood.
"Where's that guy Zhao Gao? When you come out, there's no way he won't follow you." After a while, Jiang Fan said after breathing again.
The empress raised her chin and gestured to the window: "Here, there."
Jiang Fan stood up slightly and took a look, haha, that guy in a green hat and a little fat figure was Zhao Laoer. But at the moment, this guy is enjoying himself, sitting at a tea stall diagonally opposite, sipping tea.
He looked up and saw Jiang Fan looking at him, grinning and narrowing his eyes with a very flattering smile.
Jiang Fan also smiled at him, turned around and sat down: "This guy is an excellent follower."
The empress approved: "He is meticulous and thoughtful, has a flexible mind, and is smart in doing things. I have read countless people. When it comes to being a eunuch, this guy is the best in the world."
Jiang Fan deeply believed this, and even felt that it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the originator of eunuchs.
However, due to the influence of his previous life, he was always a little worried about Zhao Gao, so he couldn't help but remind him again.
"Once people are too selfish, they always want something, so you should be more careful."
