During the first lantern festival, Fusu proposed that the Sili be equipped with drums as horns. Now, the "Bei City" has been newly established, and several new drums have been made, which are divided into two sides of the street intersection, and drummers have been arranged to click the drums so that the people can know the changes in the time.

On the day when Taipei City officially opened, many people came here early. Because the market was not opened at dawn, everyone still kept the city gates closed when they arrived.

Some children were not afraid of the majesty of the soldiers, and they boldly came forward to touch the new clusters of new drums, the slippery drum skin, and painted the vermilion drum body, which made them look festive.

One child touched him, and the other children also came up to touch him. Because the servants were waiting for the auspicious time to come and beat the drum, they all ran away after touching him and did not dare to go too far.

When the soldiers saw this, they turned a blind eye and did not scold them. Soon, the children ran to apply the round and big drums. Fortunately, the paint was newly added, and the children took turns touching it, but it didn't turn red. It looked like the brand new drum side!

As soon as the auspicious time comes, the soldiers all follow the orders and pick up the drumsticks and beat the drum vigorously—

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The seventh tone sounded, which means that the seventh tone was here. This point is usually the "food time" that is when you eat. Today, in order to come and join in the fun, everyone didn't have breakfast, but when they thought they could buy it quickly, no one felt hungry at all.

Of course, the most purchasing power among the rushing army is the servants who are driving in the car. If everyone hadn't been gathered on this day, everyone wouldn't have known that there were so many families in Xianyang City that could buy them from their homes one by one.

Seeing the servants who were ordered to move the goods to their cars like wolves and tigers, many people felt that they were not arrogant enough to pick them up. If they were too slow, what should they do if these guys snatched all the goods in a while? Okay, don’t hesitate, and decisively buy all the things they want to buy!

The Shaofu Office also selected a group of officials and nobles from Zhao and Han countries from the prisoners as clerks and do some miscellaneous work.

At first, everyone thought that this was a waste of people. It was not surprising that many officials and nobles from Zhao and South Korea would commit suicide by shame and anger, but when selecting people, everyone found that it was not the case.

After Qin took over Zhao and Han, the only people who did not move were ordinary people; all the craftsmen and palace maids were included in the Shaofu and arranged to work in designated positions; no merchants were left, either moving to Xianyang or recruiting to guard the border; the remaining officials and nobles performed outstandingly either after death or using up, and those who were not talented or practical, were all captured with the soldiers of the two countries!

What life do you live as a prisoner? If you don’t eat well and wear well, you have to work every day. If you don’t work, you will be whipped!

It’s okay for the soldiers who are used to suffering. Didn’t they live like this before? But for those captured officials and nobles, they used to use silk to wipe their butts, and they had to use the fine and soft ones! Now! Let them use bamboo slices and thatch! It’s still as old as bamboo slices!

Is this a life that people live?

Whenever I think of the silk cloth used to lay the floor and erect the sheds to make excitement, they would cover their butts and burst into tears: If God gave me another chance, I would definitely leave them to wipe my butts!

Now, the Qin court decided to give them a re-employment opportunity to those who can read and write, so that they can use their remaining energy, run errands or settle accounts.

There are no salary and benefits for this job in the first three years, only one is good, so there is no need to build roads and dig canals! Another thing is that daily necessities are equipped, and the large and small slept in the bed are turned into small sleeps. You no longer have to smell so many stinky feet, and you will be moved or not!

It’s useless to be moved, you have to take the unified exam. People who are proficient in Qin dialect or have good arithmetic are preferred.

In the past, many people would just say: Bah! I can't do such a job even if I starve to death!

Those who have been in the captive pile for a year or two can't say these two words: they can fight with others for a bite of food, and of course they can get out of the sea of ​​bitterness and go ashore early! As for being indecent, is they now decent in their dust?!

The only problem is that after so long, they almost forgot their ability to read and write, and their arithmetic may not be at its original level. What if they fail the exam?

After several days and very strict written tests and interviews, a group of officials and nobles from Zhao and South Korea stood out and competed successfully to work. They put on uniformly distributed store clerks' work clothes and began to shine in new positions, such as completing very important cashier work!

These clerks were originally wondering whether anyone would recognize them. What if the guys who had dealt with them before came to mock him? As a result, on the day of the official opening, they realized that they were completely worried!

No one cares who they are all over the day. Everyone who enters the store is rich and generous, carrying straw paper in bundles and buying flour in bags, as if they will lose money if they buy slowly! It’s fine if those servants are obviously servants from the family of ministers, even ordinary Xianyang people, when they arrive in the store, I ask for this and I want that, and I don’t blink when I spend money!

Are the people of Qin so rich?

Also shocked were the powerful and wealthy Zhao families who were arranged to settle their homes around Taipei City.

Their family wealth has been passed a lot along the way, but people have to bow their heads under the roof. Everyone swallowed their anger and followed the arrangements. Now they finally have a formal household registration, so there is no need to worry that their little money will be passed by!

They were a little resistant to the Taipei City of Xianyang: It is said that this was done in the imitation of the palaces of their Zhao and Han countries. Isn’t this bullying? Our country has been destroyed, so what is the difference between our palace and dancing on the grave?

However, you can keep money, silk and jewelry for a long time. You can’t stock up on the daily consumables you have to use every day, so you still have to buy them.

They have now been registered as municipality and will continue to be merchants in the future. Although they have not yet intervened in the business in Beijing, they must first get familiar with the market and study what kind of business they can make. Otherwise, they will probably be distributed to border construction like those small merchants who cannot pay for money to move to Xianyang!

So with the idea of ​​"I don't mean to be disrespectful to the palace of the old king, I just want to find a way to survive", the wealthy families of Zhao and Han who moved to Taipei City were mixed into the shopping team of the people of Qin. They are now clasped their tails and dressed very low-key, all imitating the people of Qin. If they don't speak, no one can tell that they are not from Xianyang.

Unfortunately, there are still differences. The difference is that the Qin people bought all the purchase-restricted goods, and then they realized that they walked to the empty shelves and stood there dumbfoundedly.

Fortunately, after several days of stocking, the amount of ordinary daily necessities was sufficient, and even if everyone in Xianyang came to buy them, they could still be supplied. However, there were still a lot of people. If there weren’t people in front of each store to maintain order and limit the number of people entering the store, there would be no doubt that something would happen!

Everyone completed the purchase with satisfaction, and there was a place to rest in front of them: a food street composed of various restaurants and restaurants, which contained all kinds of hot drinks and hot food. Everyone could enter the restaurant along the street. The restaurant converted from the Zhao Palace has an identity restriction. If you can't report a name, you have to pay enough money to go in and take a look.

Seeing the fragrant scenery all over the street, people carrying a bunch of sweeping results felt hungry, and sat in a small shop along the street in groups of three or three and ordered food.

Businessmen in Taipei gathered together, and they wanted to eat, and those who came to buy also wanted to eat. This is a big source of customers.

And there is also a large banquet and restaurant for high-ranking officials to hold banquets.

Think about it, when you watch the dignitaries and nobles in the house, they can't end in a day or a half, right? Those who carry sedan chairs, do business, and run errands can't eat or drink all day, right? So as long as these restaurants are open with care, they will not be short of customers in the future!

Even if these customers can't pay much money, they are taking the path of small profits but quick turnover, and accumulating less and making more. Every month, the net profit of taxes is still very attractive to ordinary people.

Thinking about the prosperous days in the future, all the shops in small shops were very energetic and enthusiastically entertained the guests who flocked to the shop.

This day was a holiday, but all the officials received a post from Fusu, saying that they would officially open a banquet for the newly opened "Zhaogong Restaurant" and hope that everyone who is free will enjoy their meal.

The Zhaogong Restaurant was finally named "Yuqionglou". The Zhao Kingdom was gone, so naturally there was no Zhao Palace. The Yuqionglou took the meaning of Yuyu Qionglou, which sounded very fairy-like.

When all the officials in the court received the post, they pushed back the arrangements of the day. What can I do? This is the son of the boss treating him or the official industry is officially opened. Who would not say that he would be liquidated if he didn't go!

Thinking about the experience of the public dinners in the past few times, many people began to worry: What will their family have to hold a banquet next? My children get married? My parents celebrate their birthday? My grandson is full month old? Why don’t you hold a thank-you banquet for your son? Anyway, the king always has to give face, and you must book one or two banquets on the spot!

When the banquet started, most of the people who came out to buy were dispersed. Although the carriages and horses in Taipei were still like dragons, they looked less crowded in the morning.

A group of dignitaries rode a horse in advance to the front of Yuqiong Tower. When they first saw the three words "Yuqiong Tower" flying on the gate, they were a little dazed and a little bit of change. They didn't know what "the swallows in front of the king and Xie Hall in the old days flew into the homes of ordinary people." They just felt that their mood was very complicated, a little melancholy, and a little sigh.

It's a little more enjoyable.

The civil and military officials who met at the door looked at each other, smiled and greeted each other, and entered one after another through the main entrance of "Yuqionglou".

Fusu had already been in charge of Yuqionglou, and he also sent a post to Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng did not say whether he would come or not. He just said that he would take a look at it at that time, and it seemed that he was indifferent.

Regardless of whether Ying Zheng came in the end or not, Fusu made preparations according to Ying Zheng's meeting and directly adjusted the security to the highest level.

In order to welcome the opening, Fusu also specially transferred a musician to come and have fun, and asked the musicians to select and sing poems written by civil and military officials, so that the civil and military officials knew that their excellent works were not buried!

After all the civil and military officials entered the venue one after another, the musicians also sang happily along with the music.

The musicians have clear voices and melodious singing, which should have been extremely pleasant, but the smiles on some people's faces gradually become stiff.

This song sounds familiar.

The author has something to say:

Fu Xiaosu: Good works should be promoted vigorously!

Civil and military officials: The smile gradually disappears.jpg
