"...Come into the city."
After a long silence, Venerable Shengtian said.
Although this set of propaganda methods opened her eyes, it is too early to
draw conclusions. When she first arrived in Shangyuan City, the prosperity
presented by the capital city also made her amazed by that. Yancheng is
located on the east bank of the Shenzhou border, and with so many refugees,
the perception of the city will definitely drop significantly, which will also
allow her to see more clearly the governance methods of the Guangping
Princess.
At this point, she still has confidence in the Salvation Church.
More than 100,000 refugees have been brought back to Baiyao Mountain one after
another. They are placed in the courtyard in an orderly manner, and their food
and clothing needs are arranged, so that they can be trained into warriors who
can stop evil. This requires good abilities. And the means can be achieved.
Although the Pope is too weak to act on his own, his wisdom is still shining.
After registration, the "caravan" stationed outside the city, and Shengtian
Venerable, together with Li, Luo Qing and others, passed through the west gate
and entered Jinxia Inner City Avenue.
"Fresh meat buns are out of the oven. Anyone want to try them! The fillings
are all good fresh fish, and one only costs five cents!"
"Come and try Master He's craftsmanship. They are all small dishes. You can
take whatever you want to eat!"
"Youzhou specialty dishes, including roasted goose and roasted liver, are
delicious and sweet. Would you like to order some?"
The moment he stepped onto the stone street, the lively shouts came over and
instantly filled Li Mengyun's ears. Corresponding to this is the extremely
crowded flow of people-a road that is three or four feet wide is divided into
four opposite carriage lanes. This is the size that is exactly the same as
that of Gyeonggi, but it seems a little insufficient in Jinxia City. People
had to squeeze from the side of the road to the center of the road, and the
ebony heads almost formed a surging river.
On both sides of the "river course", there are all kinds of shops. Their
signboards are all hung above the brow of the door, and what they sell is
clear at a glance. To her surprise, most of them are related to food, from
pasta to home-cooked dishes. What is even more incredible is that these shops
are actually visited by many people!
"It's incredible, isn't it?" Luo smiled softly, "People would be happy to
choose to have dinner outside."
As a major disciple of the Luo family, she has traveled to many cities and
towns, and she is also familiar with the geography of various countries.
Naturally, she knows the reason for the fleeting surprise on the Venerable's
face.
At any time, buying food for self-cooking is the most cost-effective way.
When you are short of money, you just pull some wild vegetables and put them
in the pot to cook.
If you have a little extra money, you will add some beetroot, bones and even
minced meat.
Only during the Chinese New Year will fish, meat, chicken and duck be made
into dishes to reward the hard work of the year.
As for going to a hotel or inn to eat, that's something the big family can do.
They can spend some extra money to pay the premium for cooking and service. At
any time, it will not be ordinary people who can afford restaurants. For this
reason, there are not too many restaurants in a city, and brothels and casinos
will also prepare their own kitchens to meet the needs of customers.
A situation like Jinxia City is absolutely unique among the six countries.
Eating out is just the appearance, and its deeper meaning is that ordinary
people are willing to spend more money to pursue enjoyment other than filling
their stomachs. This not only requires people to have surplus in their
pockets, but the entire city must be in a state of adequate food. Even
Gyeonggi Shangyuan is far from this goal-although it has the most lively
flower street, it pales in comparison to the most basic "food".
Ordinary people may not be able to understand the difference between the two,
but the well-informed Venerable Shengtian can see it.
This is also the reason why she looked surprised.
"How come... Didn't you recruit many refugees?"
This information comes from the eyes of the Salvation Church, and the
estimated number of people is more than 300,000. How can such an excess of
population squeeze into a city without even seeing any impact? She envisioned
the beggars all over the street and the ruffians in gangs, as if they had
disappeared without a trace.
"Actually, a large part of the people you see are refugees." Luo replied
softly. "However, since Jinxia implemented the work-for-work relief program
and carried out infrastructure construction in the surrounding areas, they
quickly got rid of poverty. The identity of the person has a place in this
city."
Is it just so?
Venerable Shengtian walked slowly in the crowd, looking at the surrounding
street scenes. The deeper she went, the more new things she saw.
There are not only Jinxia people in the crowd, but there are also many
Westerners and monsters.
Especially those monsters with pointed ears, their light gold or light gray
hair is particularly eye-catching in the crowd. There were even some long-
eared monsters walking with the locals. There were no gaps in the
conversation, and they were completely integrated into this dunya.
As for the red-haired businessmen and blue-eyed sea guests, they also pointed
around the shop. Faced with this situation, Jinxia people seem to have become
accustomed to it. At most, they will look at them when they pass by. Scream or
stop to watch.
Occasionally there will be one or two giant bipedal beasts on the street.
Unlike the liberated type seen at the gate of the city, this type of
mechanical beast is holding a shield while holding a short knife, which is
difficult to deal with at first glance.
Yes, the powerful weapon used by Jinxia when defeating the Ten States Allied
Forces should be undoubtedly it.
"On weekdays... are there so many people on the street?" The Venerable
couldn't help asking.
"That's not true. Everyone is busy during the day, and the streets are empty,
but today is the weekend, so there will be more people." Li explained.
"Why?"
"Because the last day of the week is a holiday set by the princess, there is
no need to work, but the salary is calculated, so everyone has time to go out
and play." Li suddenly patted his head and said, "By the way, there will be a
girl with Chi's this evening. At the concert, let’s go take a look after we
put the salute away!"
"Salt, salt field meeting?" Venerable Shengtian asked in confusion, "Who is
this Chi girl?"
"She... but Jin Xia's most famous idol!" Li covered his mouth with a secret
smile ~www.mtlnovel.com~What is an idol?
She opened her mouth, but did not ask the question.
Li Mengyun found that she hadn't encountered such a situation for a long time-
almost every sentence of the other party contained words that she couldn't
understand, and the last time a similar situation was when she was babbling.
In addition, she also noticed that the complexion of the people here is
completely different from that of the people outside. This difference does not
refer to food and clothing, but energy. She can't tell the specific details,
such as aristocratic families or big landlords, they also don't worry about
food and clothing, but they are still different from the people in Jinxia
City.
Is it a brilliant look, or a look full of expectations for the future? Is it a
free-talking manner, or a figure with a straight back?
For a moment, the Venerable suddenly felt that these people had been separated
from the world she knew well--
They are their masters.
