"Forget it, I'll eat it myself. Don't ask if you can't afford it next time."
As he said this, he was really going to put away the cut watermelon. It seemed that he didn't mean to provoke a few people.
His tone didn't seem to care about the one tael of silver at all.
There was even a feeling of looking down on Xiao Zhuyue and his party.
This made Xiao Zhuyue on the side suddenly embarrassed. As a king of a country, he was actually looked down upon by a common people today?
"The boss is right. One tael of silver is normal. Please give me the money."
Hearing Xiao Zhuyue's words, Huan'er took out a tael of silver and handed it over.
When the boss saw this, he said nothing and silently helped several people cut and package the food.
Only then did a few people return to the carriage carrying the "expensive" watermelon.
Huan'er first tested a piece of poison, and then served Xiao Zhuyue to eat watermelon after nothing happened.
"Not bad, very sweet."
Xiao Zhuyue nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that what the boss said was true. This watermelon was indeed worth a tael of silver.
Huan'er tilted her head, "Your Majesty, it seems that Qin Le has a lot of brains."
“Not only can we build such a flat road, but we can also provide people with melons to eat during the melon planting season. It’s quite impressive.”
When Xiao Zhuyue heard this, his eyes suddenly became cold.
The good mood of eating melon was completely ruined. When I thought of what he wrote, I became even more angry:
"Hmph! These things are nothing compared to his sins!"
The group entered the city.
I thought it was lively enough outside.
When everyone came to the city, they discovered that there were two worlds outside the city!
There are many shops in Xiliang City.
Not only were people coming and going, but there were also many Fanbang people coming and going. Zhang Shiming and others were amazed when they saw that Fanbang people, who had the impression that they were just barbarians, could actually bring so many rare treasures.
"Your Majesty...Miss, this place is too lively!"
"Miss, look, how are these houses built? They are so tall and so beautiful, I have never seen them before!"
Shan Yun and Zhang Shiming were amazed.
In the car, Xiao Zhuyue also finished eating the melon, and then got out of the car and observed this border town carefully.
Her focus is not only on the investigation of people's livelihood.
More importantly, this Xiliang City!
The city wall was made of the same material as the bridge gate. It was tall and majestic. The patrolling soldiers were all energetic and well-armed. Even on daily duty, they wore armor and were equipped with powerful crossbows. Xiao Zhuyue was extremely surprised and frowned at the same time.
It seems that the water here is much deeper than I thought!
The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the soldiers are strong and healthy.
The most frightening thing is that the entire Xiliang City is crowded, but the streets are clean and tidy, without the beggars and domestic garbage that can be seen everywhere in other places.
Even my own imperial city cannot do this!
Xiao Zhuyue was secretly frightened. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this Qin Le... was not simple!
At the same time, Zhang Shiming also marveled and said:
"Miss, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Xiao Zhuyue nodded slightly: "Speak!"
Zhang Shiming paused, then pointed to the bustling street:
"Miss, I just asked myself... The prosperity of Xiliang City is probably even greater than that of Shangjing!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhuyue's eyes suddenly turned sharp!
"Hmph! Become more majestic than others!"
Zhang Shiming's scalp went numb after hearing this. Just when he was about to explain, Xiao Zhuyue's expression softened slightly and he nodded:
"However, although this place is not as prosperous as the Imperial City, it is indeed prosperous."
Zhang Shiming cupped his hands in agreement, while the other two were completely attracted by the lively scene of Xiliang City and did not bother to discuss the battle for prosperity with Xiao Zhuyue.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhuyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, so she had to find a reason to change the topic:
"We've been walking all the way. Now everyone is hungry. Let's find a place to rest and eat first."
As soon as the words left his mouth.
A waiter who was soliciting customers on the street noticed the group of people and immediately greeted them warmly.
"This is the first time for some adults to come to Xiliang City. Come to our store, not only can you relax after a long day of work, but we also provide accommodation."
These words made Xiao Zhuyue and the others look at each other in surprise.
Generally, a hotel is a hotel and an inn is an inn, but here they are actually integrated.
"Okay, let's go and have a look."
Xiao Zhuyue nodded, and the waiter hurriedly asked someone to lead the horse, then returned to the door and respectfully shouted to several people: "Welcome!"
"Interesting." Xiao Zhuyue was amused by this novel way of greeting. It seems that Xiliang City is really interesting.
After entering, Xiao Zhuyue discovered that the store was almost full of people, from the southeast, northwest, and all over the country. People from all walks of life were eating and drinking here at the moment.
Xiao Zhuyue silently took all this into consideration and ordered Huan'er to book a private room.
After entering, her expression suddenly became serious!
"Did you all just see it?"
Zhang Shiming and Shan Yun nodded equally seriously.
Only Huan'er didn't understand: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Shan Yun spoke slowly and explained:
"Didn't you notice? This restaurant can actually allow two people from different faiths to sit together and eat together, and they still feel calm."
