I am happy here and don't miss Shu. This is how Xiong Fei, the former crown prince of Chu State, feels now. He really has no intention of restoring the country, because in Tang State, he seems to live a freer and more unrestrained life than in the past.
Here there are no constraints from the old nobles of Chu State, no threats from enemies, only endless gold coins to spend, and so much time that it makes people feel a little lonely.
As a duke, as long as he does not cause trouble to the officials of the Tang Empire, his natural status is aloof. Although some people look down on the subjugated king who lives here, as long as he gets used to the eyes of those people, he will naturally live a free and easy life.
.
Xiong Fei was used to this kind of life: he would get up every morning and go for a walk outside, taking the housekeeper and a few servants with him to breathe the fresh air of Chang'an.
Although the industry of the Tang Empire developed rapidly, the environmental management work was also carried out quite well. At least in Chang'an, there was not much environmental pollution.
The most deadly pollution is in Tongcheng, and some are near the old southern oil fields. There are oil refining equipment and a large number of chemical plants... Of course, there are also many chemical plants near the water, and the number is scary.
.
There were even leaks in chemical plants near Linshui due to safety issues. These were the pains of development and almost no one pursued them.
A few decades ago, people did not even have enough to eat, so they naturally did not consider whether the environment in which they lived was damaged. Now everyone is living a good life, so they have begun to pursue the quality of life.
The housekeeper helped carry a bird cage and walked on the path in the park. Occasionally, he could even chat with some beautiful little girls. The Duke of Chu could feel his happiness. His father had never enjoyed this day.
It seems much more comfortable than being a king with little real power.
Unfortunately, he didn't read the almanac when he went out this morning. He met Qin Guogong at the gate of the park, which made Xiong Fei a little unhappy. He could only pretend not to see it, turned around and left without even saying hello.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became a little irritable and asked the housekeeper to turn on the TV. On the TV, the Tongcheng Metal Team was already leading 2-0, and the home field advantage made the cheers in the stands deafening.
These cheers made Xiong Fei feel even more aggrieved: he had bought a bet of 200 gold coins, and the bets he placed were all won by the Linshui Port Team.
It seems that these 200 yuan are going to be wasted again. This is not RMB, but the gold coin of the Tang Empire. 200 yuan is 200 gold coins, which is enough for the poor people outside to live for several years.
Under normal circumstances, thirty or fifty gold coins a year is not bad. As long as you save some, you can even live a decent life.
In the past two or three years, the gold coins of the Tang Empire have also depreciated a little. In the past, a few dozen gold coins could even buy a car, but now a Renmin brand car costs 180 gold coins.
But even so, many people are still willing to spend money to buy a car. This thing has begun to enter thousands of households and has also led to the development of other fields.
With more cars, more fuel will naturally be consumed. If more planes and ships are added, the Tang Empire's oil consumption will be dozens or even hundreds of times higher than in the past.
It can be said that if there was no oil, the Tang Empire could even paralyze itself without having to start a war with other countries.
Of course, it is impossible for the Tang Empire to lack oil. Qin is an oil-producing country, Chu is an oil-producing country, and the Great China Empire is also an oil-producing country... After conquering so many countries, plus oil-producing countries
Dragon Island, how could the Tang Empire be short of oil?
"What kind of kick is this?" Xiong Fei stared at the Linshui Port Team midfielder who had the ball stolen again and cursed, angrily saying with all his strength: "Get it back! You haven't eaten! Are you playing so softly?
"
He has lost three games in a row recently. The Luo Zhen Construction Team that he was optimistic about before unexpectedly lost to Fengjiang Lokomotiv, causing him to lose 300 gold coins in one fell swoop.
Then came the match between Royal Chang'an and the newly formed Jiange Blue Sky team. Xiong Fei thought about it for a moment, and with the attitude of not looking for trouble casually to support His Majesty the Emperor, he resolutely spent 500 gold coins to buy the Royal Chang'an team...
…
There is no way, it concerns the emperor, so we must be cautious. If His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really cares about this trivial matter, it is not worth it... Therefore, we must buy the Royal Chang'an, which can be regarded as a waste of money and disaster relief.
The result... the result was that the Royal Chang'an team was really promising. One to zero, the Jiange Blue Sky team was slightly beaten.
Well, now, Tongcheng Metal itself is evenly matched with Linshui Port. As a result, relying on the home field advantage, they really took a 2-0 lead - Xiong Gai originally wanted to be upset and win back all the money he lost before.
.
People watching football always seem to work harder than those playing football on the court. Listening to Xiong Fei's screams one after another, his butler shook his head helplessly. If shouting loudly works, then Royal Chang'an's results are probably not very good.
It might be like today.
In the Duke of Qin's mansion next door, Ying Duo was beating the armrest of the sofa and shouting excitedly: "Good job! Come on! Attack! Attack hard!"
Only after he came to the Tang Empire did he realize that it was so satisfying not to be an emperor: his daughter was the imperial concubine, and he didn't have to go to court to listen to politics. Anyway, there was nothing to do every day, and the only option left was entertainment.
Only after arriving in the Tang Empire did he realize that there could be so many fun things: just watching TV was enough to pass his time for a long time.
There was a talent show on TV, and all the young and beautiful girls were so good at singing and dancing that it made Ying Duo look several years younger. In the past, Qin State didn't even have such a fun time choosing concubines, but now he could watch it as he pleased.
I heard from the servants that you can even buy tickets to watch the finals and have the right to vote... It's great. It's great to have money and time.
Then there is football betting, which means placing bets on winning or losing. It seems very simple, but it is really addictive. Ying Duo naturally placed the bet, and after buying it, he realized that this sense of substitution is really complete.
It's different. The victory or defeat is related to oneself, so it does need to be more concerned about.
He had just tried it once and only bought 100 gold coins, which already made him quite excited. He had even thought about buying 500 gold coins next time to stimulate himself.
"Pass the ball! Beautiful! In! In! In!" He suddenly raised his arms and cheered excitedly, as if he had regained the joy of his childhood: "Hahaha! Three to zero! Three to zero.
