Fu Manman came over with Helian Jingce and saw everyone queuing up to exchange money. Those who had exchanged money were discussing the money, and some people even asked how to save money.
Everyone sighed when they heard that they needed to have a household registration in Xingyue City to open an account and save money.
Helian Jingce looked at the various systems of the bank and knew the price of gold. He took Fu Manman to a deserted place and said: "Manman, for the sake of giving you a gold mountain, please give me my account in advance."
Add it to your household registration book!"
...I really have no reason to refuse if I pay a lot. It’s a golden mountain! I’m already rich.
"Okay, I'll have someone add it for you later," Fu Manman said.
Helian Jingce was so excited that he signed up the household registration book and became a family.
After exchanging money, everyone went shopping together. Even the gold that Jingce brought was exchanged for tens of thousands of dollars. The girl at the bank counter stared at him. When she almost confessed her love, the manager gave her a
Pulled down.
Anyone who dares to rob the queen doesn’t want to live anymore.
With money in your arms, you can go shopping and buy whatever you want, and everyone will have money.
Many new stores have opened in the city, offering food, drink and entertainment.
A group of officials in Xizhou are simply rich people who have entered the city and want to buy everything they see.
After a while, everyone had big and small bags in their hands. The standard equipment was a big bag of toilet paper, a mirror, a pocket watch, an alarm clock, soap, shampoo, candies, tobacco and alcohol, and they also grabbed salt. One dollar was too much for a big bag.
It's cheaper, and it's finer and whiter than the salt made in Xizhou.
I bought too much, so I ended up pulling a pallet truck to haul it.
Helian Jingce looked at his group of officials. They all looked like they had never seen the world. They were buying whatever they wanted. A dozen or so people entered a store and the store was completely empty.
He wanted to buy something for Manman, but he had no chance. Some of his subordinates were particularly discerning and would run over to tell him anything good they saw.
"My dear lord, look at this. This is a telescope. Let's buy some in bulk and let the soldiers each have one."
"Well, buy it." Helian Jingce gave the other party money.
"Little lord, this knife is really good and has many functions."
"Buy!" Helian Jingce continued to pay.
I agreed to buy things for Manman, but in the end I reimbursed them to my subordinates.
"Manman, let's go shopping by ourselves!" Helian Jingce pulled Fu Manman and prepared to change places again.
"Why don't we stop shopping and let's go to the theater." Fu Manman said to Helian Jingce.
"Okay!" Helian Jingce was very happy, as long as he could be with Manman, he would go anywhere.
As soon as the two of them went out, a group of people followed behind them.
"This building is really big, what kind of building is it?" someone asked standing at the entrance of the shopping mall.
"This is a department store. It just opened a few days ago. Come on, let's go in and have a look." Fu Manman was taken away again. Helian Jingce had no choice but to continue to follow.
Everyone was curious, and after entering, they found that it was really big, lively, and full of good things.
In the shopping mall, there were so many young people, putting their arms around each other and holding hands. This made people from Xizhou stunned.
"The folk customs here are really open," said a Xizhou official.
"How wonderful this is! I saw it written on the bulletin board that here is a monogamy system. Men and women over the age of fifteen can fall in love freely. Wherever it is like us, you can only obey your parents when marrying a wife." The young Xizhou general said,
I particularly like this one.
His family arranged a baby wedding for him, but he didn't like it at all. He liked the freedom here, and he wanted to choose the girl he liked.
Uncle Liang Ping sighed deeply when he heard this.
If I had understood this truth earlier, I would not have given away the white-haired person to the black-haired person.
"Uncle Da, when we return to Xizhou, we will reform." Taishu Liang Ping said to Uncle Da.
When Uncle Da heard this, he smiled happily and said: "You little old man, you finally thought about it."
Next to him, Fu Manman heard the conversation between Uncle Tai and Uncle Da, pulled Helian Jingce's sleeve, and said happily: "There is no problem with this reform."
"Yeah!" Helian Jingce looked at Fu Manman's smiling face and held her hand.
After visiting the shopping mall, we finally moved to a teahouse.
There are performances in the teahouse. This teahouse is fully paid and offers various snacks. There are stage performances downstairs and private rooms upstairs.
Helian Jingce pulled Fu Manman into the private room upstairs.
In the private room, Helian Jingce ordered a lot of delicious food for Fu Manman, poured tea and water for her, and gave her sweet food. The two of them were just having a sweet time when Uncle Da and Uncle Tai came over.
Helian Jingce's face turned dark with anger.
But Uncle Da didn't notice it at all and showed off his newly-fitted reading glasses with Fu Manman.
"Oh, I haven't seen so clearly for a long time." Uncle Liang Ping was the happiest. He had been suffering from presbyopia for many years.
He held a thick stack of various leaflets in his hand, "Miss Fu, I have a question to ask." The uncle took out a leaflet, pointed to the words on it and asked: "Who wrote the words on it?
Create?"
He didn't know any of these words, but the people here seemed to know them all. He saw that everyone from the street sweeper to the seven or eight-year-old children were literate.
It’s really incredible. In Tiansheng, the only people who can read are the aristocratic children with multiple surnames.
The ordinary people here are literate, and these characters are also very strange, but they seem to have fewer strokes. He wants to get to know this great scholar, ask for advice, and learn these characters.
"It was created by a deceased great scholar." It was full of nonsense.
"He has already passed away! That's such a pity. I still want to learn from this great Confucian." Taishu regretted.
"Don't worry, Uncle Tai. When Xizhou implements reforms, I will establish a school in Xizhou and send teachers there to teach." Fu Manman said.
When the uncle heard this, he was very happy and said, "Okay, great!"
"Girl Manman, what is written on these and why do those people stuff these for us?" Uncle Da asked Manman while holding the flyer.
"Paper is not cheap, why do these people just give it to us casually?" Uncle Da muttered, "The words written on each piece of paper are exactly the same."
Uncle Da took the one from Uncle Tai and compared it.
The two of them seemed to have discovered a new world, and they were surprised again and again. Even the best documents cannot write every word exactly the same!
"These are flyers, used by businesses for promotion. The words are exactly the same because they are all printed uniformly from the printing factory." Fu Manman explained.
"What does this printing house do?"
"How is this done?"
…
Fu Manman was surrounded by a group of people, all looking for answers to their questions. Helian Jingce sat silently in the corner, watching the stage play.
The actor said: "Thinking about the long journey of heaven and earth, I burst into tears with sadness..."
This really represents his state of mind at the moment!
When it gets dark, the colorful lights in the center of the city and the lights of the shops on the street all turn on in an instant.
The center of Xingyue City has become a sea of stars. This scene shocked the hearts of the officials in Xizhou.
