After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

The tyrant who is building a lot of land and the enchanting concubine (?) sitting next to him are traveling around the capital in a carriage.

"I haven't been able to go around the capital since I got here." The emperor opened the curtain, looking very excited, "Let me take a look at the local customs and customs while today is on holiday...Brother Xun, you Are you familiar with this part of the capital? Is there any place you want to go?"

Since he got off his horse, the emperor has always been in front of Zhou Xun in a rather self-indulgent posture-not disguising his identity at all, and running the train with his mouth full.

As he spoke, he patted Zhou Xun's shoulder vigorously: "Today is a holiday, let's go out to relax, go shopping and take a rest!"

Zhou Xun thought for a while, and said sincerely: "I don't have any particular place I want to go, just... just listen to the emperor's arrangement."

Emperor: "Oh, good."

As he said that, he looked at the sky outside, asked the guards what time it is, thought for a while and said, "The first must-visit tourist attraction after crossing, Flower Street, has already been there, so next..."

Zhou Xun:?

Emperor: "Let's go and see other good places!"

The emperor said, giving Zhou Xun a thumbs up.

The carriage rolled by on the street, and the first place the two arrived at was a square in the city.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, Zhou Xun was startled by the sight in front of him.

He remembered this square.Although the roads in the capital are flat and clean, the cleanliness is relatively limited.After he left the palace yesterday, he was in Moyuan. Moyuan was originally a gathering place for students, relatively "upper class", so although the road seemed a little cleaner than before, it didn't shock him.

But this square is in an area where the poor live—a place like this, originally the officials didn't care about it.All kinds of garbage, melon peels, and rotten meat were thrown everywhere.As time goes on, even the residents living here will hold their noses and walk in this direction with their backs.

however……

Now this place like a garbage dump has been cleaned up!

Not only has the square been cleaned, but the surrounding walls have also been painted brand new, and some pictures have been painted on it.Several children were playing in the square, but their postures were weird.Zhou Xun took a closer look, and they seemed to be imitating certain actions.

Some... action?

Zhou Xun turned his head and looked at the murals on the walls again, only to see that there were small figures with strange postures painted on each wall.

Some villains on the walls are saluting, and those standing beside the villain are his father, brother, teacher, and even officials. These murals seem to be teaching people how to impose etiquette and how to follow etiquette; They are doing some actions, such as washing hands, how to carry a pole with less effort, etc. There is also a wall teaching some life tips, which are the actions these children are doing.

On the imitated wall, these children drew a series of small people, all of which looked like children.Arrows are drawn between the previous and next actions of the villains, and some dots are drawn around them, which seem to be used to mark the number of repetitions.These villains spread their arms, kick their legs, or turn their heads, looking like some kind of strange martial arts...

Zhou Xun:?

When he looked back, he saw the emperor's chin raised high, as if very proud.Zhou Xun heard him say, "Are you satisfied with what you see?"

Zhou Xun: ...I don't know what I saw.

"...The record on this wall is some kind of physical fitness technique...or the technique of cultivating immortality?" Zhou Xun said.

Emperor: "No, it's called young eagles taking off... No, it's like the sunshine of youth."

Zhou Xun:?

"Originally, I wanted to paint slogans everywhere in the capital. Unfortunately, the illiteracy rate of the people here seems to be too high to read, so I had to use paintings instead of slogans." The emperor said, "The art of stretching and kicking This is just the first step, and next I will teach them how to tap acupuncture points."

Zhou Xun: "...What is acupuncture?"

He saw that subtle and cold smile on the emperor's face again, and the emperor said slowly: "For example..."

He held both hands separately, stretched out only one thumb, and then pressed the two thumbs against the forehead——

Emperor: "Scrape the eye sockets according to the temple chakra."

Zhou Xun: ...

"Wait, wait, this acupuncture method really protects the eyes, I won't lie to you—"

Zhou Xun didn't bother to talk to the emperor anymore. He looked at the children playing in the square, and after a while, he heard the shouts of the women next to him.

"Zhuzi! Bao'er! Don't be crazy! Go to West Street!" the woman shouted at the top of her voice, "The adults in the imperial court are here to give lectures again!"

"Mom!" A tiger-headed little boy poked his head and shouted, "I'm not fooling around, I'm leading everyone to practice martial arts!"

"Stop making trouble, stop making trouble, go over quickly, you only get one chapter for a lecture, and you can go to the Yamen to exchange rice for all twelve chapters!" Bring it, what kind of lecture... At the end of the lecture, five characters are taught each time, and the child who memorizes these five characters first will have a prize!"

After the little boy with thick head and thick head, the one who opened his mouth was a little girl squatting on the ground and playing.The little girl wore two shofar braids, and shouted loudly: "Brother is a boy, just let him learn how to read, I don't want to go, I'm stupid, I can't compare to my brother—"

"You have to go if you don't want to!" The woman finally came out from the edge of the square aggressively, "The second girl who went back to Lao Chai's house answered first. The adults said that she is so smart as a girl, and they gave me extra money." She has half a catty of oil. Other girls can do it, why can't you?"

A few women also ran over from the other side, hurriedly taking their children to the lecture.One of the children was held by his mother, and he tilted his head and asked her: "Mom, when will we have free troupe performances here again?"

"That's right, that virus master, was he defeated by the hot water fairy in the end?"

"I want to watch another play, that is, there is a brother who is chased and beaten by bandits, and then I found a lot of blueprints at home, and made a man who can shoot arrows by himself, and then the arrows will chase the bandits. This invention was rewarded by the imperial court..."

After the woman came, other parents urged their children to go to West Street.Zhou Xun turned to the emperor and said, "What is this?"

"Oh, I tried a little bit in the capital, held some popular science lectures and cultural activities, and let some leisurely officials come here to do volunteer activities..." The emperor scratched his head and said, "Education should start from the baby. Grab it."

Zhou Xun: ...

The Emperor: "Let them get a preliminary impression based on these dramas first, and then it will be much more convenient for them to start work."

Their carriage drove through the block, and on the last broad road in the block, a gentleman was giving lectures and lectures.

Emperor: "Let's go to another interesting place!"

The wheels were rolling, and Zhou Xun didn't just sit in the carriage this time.He opened the curtain and kept staring at the scene outside the window.On the side of the street, he saw many people under the organization of officials, holding shovels, dredging the gutters in the capital.

The sewage system in the capital was passed down a hundred years ago. After a hundred years, many places have become clogged.Seeing so many people start unblocking them again now, Zhou Xun's mood was a little hard to describe for a while.

His expression was relaxed, but the emperor's complexion darkened.He opened the curtain and said to the guard: "Go and see what the name of the official sitting next to him is? Other people are busy dredging, but he himself is fine, sitting there and resting. You tell him, this time the Yue's salary will be cut in half, and if people see it next time, he won't even want half a year's salary!"

The guards took orders again and again, and the emperor said again: "Where are the high-level officials who are patrolling and inspecting this area? Just let him sit here? Tell him to come over and take a good look. These officials receive ten times the income of ordinary people from the imperial court. If you don't do the work given by the court, you'll just hide here!"

The guard took the badge and left.The emperor put down the curtain and said happily to Zhou Xun, "Let's go to the next place to see!"

Zhou Xun: ...

After a whole morning and another afternoon, Zhou Xun seriously suspected that the emperor planned this day's itinerary...

He came to show off.

... But he didn't understand why the emperor had to find him to show off his achievements.

They not only passed by the mural square in the morning and the drainage channel dredging site, but also passed by the vegetable market that was originally chaotic but now has been planned out of stalls.When the two arrived near the vegetable market, they happened to see the officials in charge of the vegetable market drag a hawker out and warned him to sell fish that had been dead for two days as live fish this time, and he would not be allowed to enter the market again for half a month.

Apart from these places, he also saw many newly built academies and medical centers. In the academies, there are actually plans for scholarships for poor students. Students from poor families can get a sum of money as long as they get better results in the entrance examination. Scholarships - The scholarships are not many, but enough to cover three meals a day.In addition, there is actually a school specially set up for women. As long as they pass the exam and graduate with excellent grades, they can become female officials and work in some newly established institutions...

Of course, the last one is still in the works.

Then, the emperor took him to the repaired pier and many places.During the tour, they had lunch in a restaurant.During lunch, a storyteller was also downstairs, telling stories that Zhou Xun had never heard.

"...At that time, the devil was holding on to the ancestral sword of the knight, and went under the tree. At that time, there was a lot of wind and rain, and the sky was full of thunder. Now that he has won the divine sword, he is naturally overjoyed. laughter."

"...The knight chased the devil all the way. He saw the devil's triumphant appearance under the tree from a distance. Thinking of the tragedy of his relatives, his liver and gallbladder were torn. Just when he was about to cry out, he said it late, then quickly, together The thunder actually fell from the sky, and it hit the devil directly!"

"The devil died tragically on the spot, and his whole body was blackened by the lightning! The knight was overjoyed and saddened when he saw this, and wept. He actually got his revenge! Guess what's the reason for this thunderstorm?"

"What is it?" asked a drinker.

"Of course the heavens have eyes and send down thunder to punish sinners!"

"Justice from heaven!"

"No, no, no," said the storyteller shaking his head, "This story tells us that we should not stand under a tree during a thunderstorm, let alone hold something long and thin above our heads—especially iron products."

Zhou Xun: ...

Drinker: ...

Zhou Xun turned his head, looked at the emperor who was holding back his laughter, and said, "...you installed this storyteller."

"Yes," the emperor said triumphantly, "this is my navy."

Zhou Xun: ...

Emperor: "I bought a lot of storytellers and asked them to tell these wonderful and moving popular science stories in restaurants all over the capital."

Zhou Xun: ...It's really touching.

When the dishes were served, the emperor stretched out his chopsticks as usual, and split the roast chicken in half. He held one leg and one wing to Zhou Xun, and gave the other half to himself.He was sharing the dishes, and said to Zhou Xun: "These are all my achievements this month, do you have anything to say? Oh, there are some changes inside the yamen, but I can't take you in to see... In the afternoon, let's go out of town to see other good things..."

Zhou Xun was silent for a while: "There is something I want to say..."

Emperor: "Say."

Zhou Xun: "Your Majesty, there are so many things... Is the treasury enough?"
