Beijing, Liu Mansion, Liu Jin slowly enjoyed breakfast and read the newspaper.
After the morning meeting was postponed, Liu Jin was finally able to enjoy his leisure time in the morning.
Unlike before, when I was sleeping with my arms around the beauty and thinking about it, it was still dark, so I had to get up to go to the morning court. Braving the wind and snow, half freezing to death, I still had to stand until the morning court meeting, until Emperor Hongzhi.
After being notified to have a small meeting, you can sit down, drink a cup of hot tea, and take a rest.
Now I'm fine. I've postponed the morning pilgrimage to Chen time. I have enough time to sleep, eat breakfast, eat and drink all the time, and go to the morning pilgrimage refreshed. How comfortable.
And you can rest for two days every five days. Today happens to be the sixth day when the Ming Dynasty's Xiu Mu Code was promulgated and officially implemented, which is also the first weekend in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
"Ms. sir, don't you have to go to work for two days? Can you take us to Tianjin for some fun?"
As for how to spend the weekend, Liu Jin hasn't made any plans yet, but Xu Waner and Li Zhen have already thought about it.
They had wanted to go to Tianjin for a while and take a look, but Liu Jin had been busy and didn't have much time to go out with them.
Now that I finally had two days of rest, I naturally wanted Liu Jin to take them out to play.
"Why are we going to Tianjin? On this first weekend, I think I can rest at home. I can rest well."
Liu Jin looked at Xu Waner and Li Zhen beside him and couldn't help but smile evilly.
Well, I haven't had morning exercises with them for a long time since I had to go to morning morning. This thing that is good for physical and mental health has been ruined by morning exercise.
I finally have the weekend, and it seems that I should cherish it and cherish it.
"Bah~"
When Xu Waner heard this, she naturally recognized Liu Jin's intention of being pregnant, and she couldn't help but blush. Even though they were an old couple and had experienced everything, Xu Waner still blushed.
On the other hand, Li Zhen couldn't help but laugh. Compared to Xu Waner, she was more bold and open-minded.
"Okay, okay~"
"It's rare that I have time. The children have been clamoring to go to the zoo. I just want to take you to see them together."
"I heard that a batch of animals have recently been shipped from all over the world, including those from the South Golden Continent. I will take you to see them, eat lunch outside, and take the children to watch some competitions in the afternoon."
Liu Jin looked at the shy look of the beauty next to him, suppressed the anger in his heart, thought about it and made arrangements.
"That's pretty much it~"
"You don't know, Bo Zhou, Bo Yuan, and Bo Yun have long wanted you to take them to the zoo and watch football matches."
Liu Jin and Xu Waner gave birth to the eldest son Liu Bozhou and the third son Liu Boyun, and Li Zhen gave birth to the second son Liu Boyuan. There are three sons in total. The eldest Liu Bozhou is four years old and the youngest is two years old.
Soon, they learned that Liu Jin was going to take him to the zoo and watch a football match. The three children were very happy. After breakfast, Liu Jin and his family got on the four-wheeled carriage and headed towards Nancheng.
However, after leaving the inner city where the dignitaries of the capital gathered, Liu Jin was dumbfounded.
Because the streets and alleys of the capital are full of people, and there are huge crowds of people everywhere. People with their families can be seen hanging out in every shop on the streets of the capital. At the same time, you can also see luxury four-wheel carriages blocking the road.
above.
"I'm going~"
“There’s a traffic jam in Beijing!”
Liu Jin opened the curtain of the four-wheeled carriage and looked at the blocked road ahead. He was dumbfounded.
In the past, although the population of the capital has continued to grow, with millions of people gathering in the capital, you can imagine how big the entire capital has become and how densely populated it is.
But because most people live and work in factories, workshops, and businesses, they basically work during the day and have to rest at night when it gets dark.
Therefore, although there are many people in the streets and alleys of the capital, it is not said that there will be traffic jams. Four-wheeled carriages can still pass very smoothly. After all, the road planning in the capital is also quite good.
Under the square layout, it extends in all directions, and the important streets are also very spacious. Places such as the outer city of the capital and the new city have also been planned and are very square, with many roads and extending in all directions.
Although Beijing has a large population, the traffic situation has always been good, and there have never been traffic jams.
However, there is a traffic jam now. Four-wheeled carriages are blocked on the street. The streets and shops on both sides have too many people.
It can be seen that most of these people have entered the capital for the first time, and it is estimated that many of them are people working in factories and workshops.
On this Ming Dynasty weekend, factories, workshops, firms, etc. have a holiday. Those who work in factories, workshops, firms, etc. do not have to go to work. They finally have time to walk around the capital and take a look.
There is no doubt that you must come and see this neighborhood in the old city of Beijing. After all, the shops here in the old city are the most expensive shops in the entire capital. Gold, silver, jewelry, and rare treasures come from all over the world.
Everyone gathers here, and you can also see the powerful people in the capital.
A huge flow of people entered the capital, and this scene appeared in front of them. Zhuque Street, the main road in the capital, was full of people. At a glance, it was dark and full of people.
People come together in small groups to go shopping here.
The shops on both sides of the street are also full of people, so that the shop owners are very busy.
"Can I still go out here?"
Liu Jin shook his head slightly dumbfounded.
This capital actually feels a bit like a city of later generations, with busy traffic, people coming and going, and even traffic jams.
But fortunately, this is the capital after all, and horses are mainly used for carriages, so it is still very convenient to move around. The Shuntian Prefecture in the capital quickly dispatched government officials to arrest people, and the guards from the capital of the Fifth Army Governor's Palace also came out to maintain order and clear the way.
the way.
Therefore, the carriages on the road slowly moved forward again. It took almost half an hour before the four-wheeled carriage Liu Jin and his family were riding out of the capital.
I originally thought that things would be better after leaving the capital.
But it was really wrong, very wrong.
The zoo and football field that Liu Jin and his family are going to are both in Nancheng New District. The land in these places belongs to Liu Jin. Liu Jin has put a lot of thought into the planning of the new city.
The roads here are wider and more rationally planned than elsewhere, but after arriving in Nancheng New District, the roads are still very congested.
On the spacious road, four-wheeled carriages were moving forward at the slowest speed under the guidance of the grooms. The flow of people at the pedestrian zebra crossing was very large, and it often took a long time to stop to allow the carriages to pass. After all, there were no
In the age of traffic lights, everyone's traffic awareness is still very weak.
What's more, there has been no traffic awareness since ancient times, and this is the first time such a problem has arisen.
Too many people.
The Nancheng New District run by Liu Jin has too many residential areas. The number of people living in new-style residential complexes is dozens of times that of traditional ones, so the flow of people is naturally greater.
There are also too many factories here. Many of the large factories run by Liu Jin are located here. The industrial zone is also home to a large number of factories, workshops, and firms. It is estimated that the number of people working and living here is
There are more than two million.
Moreover, there are many colleges built by Liu Jin in Nancheng District. These colleges, which cover a large area, also gather a large number of students.
In addition, there are hospitals, zoos, stadiums, theaters, squares, commercial blocks, etc. These entertainment and leisure venues built by Liu Jin have attracted a large number of people to Nancheng New District.
The result is that Nancheng New District is no worse than the inner city, and it is also very congested.
"There are too many people here!"
Sitting in the carriage, Liu Jin couldn't help but shake his head.
It feels like everyone in the capital has gone out. There are huge crowds of people everywhere, and you can see people with their families out for fun everywhere.
After finally getting to the zoo, Liu Jin took the excited little guy into the zoo. Once inside, he was dumbfounded again.
There are so many people in the zoo that there are many people watching in every place. Those who came later can't squeeze in at all. They can only watch people, but there is no way to take a good look at the zoo.
animals inside.
"It seems that during the holidays, the price of tickets to the zoo should be raised!"
Liu Jin touched his chin and looked at the crowd in front of him. They were not here to see animals. They were just here to see people and join in the fun.
Because there were no animals in sight, several little guys were making trouble to express their dissatisfaction.
"Everyone's living standards are higher, and they don't need a few coins anymore. It's rare for them to take their children out to see all kinds of novel animals when they have time."
Liu Jin shook his head slightly. He had no choice but to pick up his eldest son and let him ride on his shoulders, so that he could see the cages and the animals in the room.
"Mr. Sir, please pay attention to your image. It would be bad if others saw this."
Seeing Liu Jin taking care of the child like this, Xu Waner immediately said quickly.
"What's wrong? I'm not the official minister of Ming Dynasty now, but the man of our family. I'm the father of the child. What's wrong with this child taking care of his father?"
“Don’t you see many people doing this?”
Liu Jin pointed to the person who was doing the same thing as him and replied with a smile.
There is really no other way. There are too many people, so this is the only thing we can do.
On this weekend of the Ming Dynasty, the entire capital city seemed to be released. The factories stopped working, and the workers went to various places in the capital to have fun, making the streets and alleys of the capital city full of people.
There are too many people gathering in the shops, restaurants, teahouses, theaters, stadiums, zoos, etc. in the capital, these entertainment and leisure places.
