Even when Daming was the richest, there were beggars in the capital of Daming. That's how many efforts the emperors of the Ming Dynasty made, but they still can't do the same. How can it be that there is not even a person who can't afford to eat when the city has only been established for many years?

And what did Yu Qian call Yang Chendong just now?

King!

It's not a king, but a king.

Don't look at this word difference. There are too many in it. This is enough to prove Yu Qian's admiration and even conviction for Yang Chendong.

Who is Yu Qian? He is definitely a role model for all officials who want to pretend to be the people. He will only be good to the people, not bow to the powerful. Even in Daming, the emperor couldn't make him bow his head. But now he actually respects Yang Chendong so much. What's going on?

Can it be said that Yang Chendong's kindness to the people has exceeded Yu Qian's cognition and has been recognized by him?

Is it true that there are no people in the whole city who can't afford to eat?

"No! It's impossible." a voice shouted in Wang Zuo's heart.

Since ancient times, no Dynasty has been able to feed all the people. At most, 60% or 70% of the people have enough food and clothing, which can be called a prosperous era. After all, not everyone is willing to work hard. There are always some people who are lazy.

He shook his head and couldn't understand it. But Wang Zuo has made up his mind that he must walk around during his stay in the red inlaid city to see whether Yang Chendong and Yu Qian are lying or the truth is true.

If the common people had a good life, wouldn't it say that Yang Houdong was not only good at fighting, but also good at governing the country. In this case, it may be a blessing for the people to hand Nanming over to this person.

On the other side, Kuang ye also retreated, and the commander Ke Hong soon met him.

Kuang Ye's spirit is good. Obviously, he has a lot of self-confidence because of the bet he made just now. After seeing Ke Hong and the other two centurions, he said with great interest, "tomorrow, you separate and take a good walk in the city. Hum! Let me expose the lies of King Wu Nan."

Kuang Ye certainly doesn't think that the people in the whole city can have plenty of food and clothing, which is simply impossible. As for why Yang Chendong dared to say so, it must be because the other party was prepared and would hide those people. That is, as long as he looked carefully, he didn't worry about finding clues. At that time, he wanted to see how ugly Yang Chendong's face would be. At that time, taking advantage of this momentum, he would put forward the diplomatic problems between Nanming and Yang, which must be a breakthrough.

Facing Kuang Ye's orders, Ke Hong naturally nodded. Although they were surprised by the great works of the Yang family since they got on the ship, and they also envy the life of the Yang family, they know that their family members are still in Nanming, and they still want to go back, so they must listen to Lord Kuang Ye.

At this time, not only Kuang ye, but also many people are doubting Yang Chendong's words. Those who can participate in the observation mission are naturally either rich or expensive, but this does not mean that they have not seen the poor or beggars.

After all, it is because of the poor that the rich are called, isn't it?

Many people also decided to look around tomorrow. They didn't believe that King Wunan could hide people so well. They didn't believe that they couldn't find any.

When the party was over, I don't know how many people made such a decision in their hearts. But for more families, they have been attracted by the neon lights on the road outside the hotel.

Looking out from the window of the hotel, people come and go in the street. Under the light of the street lamps on the straight cement road, everyone talks and laughs. There are some young people walking on the street arm in arm. They don't care what outsiders look at them at all.

From their clothes, they were bright, and everyone's face showed a happy look.

This scene is impossible to see in Nanjing and Kyoto.

First, there is a curfew in Kyoto. At night, people are not allowed to walk in the streets. Where else can we see the excitement?

Second, even if there is no curfew, it is dark everywhere. If one is not careful, he will step into the ditch. Who is willing to go out in such an environment?

As for the third. There are no entertainment facilities in Kyoto at night. What can I do even if I go out?

Compared with this, the street view outside the Yang Hotel is so different.

Wang Chang stood in front of the French window of the room and looked at the outside. His heart was itchy. At this time, there was a slight knock at the door. With a trace of doubt, Wang Shang opened the door and saw his brother Wang Zhicheng.

At this time, Wang Zhicheng was already dressed and didn't want to sleep at all. After seeing his sister, his first sentence was, "I'm going to call some partners out for a walk. Are you going?"

Of course, Wang Zhicheng is not all kind-hearted. He will call his sister for fear that his grandfather will punish him. With his sister's follow, there will be another shield.

Wang Chang had such an idea. Now when his brother said that he could still suppress the dryness in his heart, he nodded and said, "OK, wait until I put on my coat."

Wang Chang and Wang Zhicheng quickly got out of the room, called several young partners, and went downstairs to the hotel. Here they saw the police in charge of security work in chixian city. When they were still thinking about whether going out would be prohibited, a policeman came forward and asked them what they had to do.

With a trace of tension and some uneasiness, Wang Zhicheng said his ideas. Then he said that they would not go out if it was inconvenient. Unexpectedly, the police just smiled, then began to ask their names, and then some temporary ID cards were sent to them.

"It's OK to go out. You must have an ID card, or you will have some trouble in the inspection of the patrol police. OK. Now there's no problem with these ID cards." after that, the police took the initiative to step aside and let out the door behind them.

After taking the ID card, Wang Zhicheng, Wang Shang and others walked out of the Yangjia hotel with some excitement. But what they didn't know was that behind them, a team of ten red embedded city police followed them in plain clothes.

Anyway, it's also an observation group from Nanming. If their personal safety is threatened in chixian City, it's equivalent to the face of Fan Yang Department and the face of Wu Nan Wang. It's equivalent to that the work of the police corps has not been done in place.

After leaving the Yangjia Hotel and following the direction of people and flow, Wang Zhicheng only walked more than two miles and saw a square covering dozens of mu, where many young and middle-aged people were dancing.

The dance music is played by several big speakers around the square. It has a sense of rhythm, so that people can quickly integrate into the rhythm.

Outside the square, there are stalls everywhere. Some of them sell food and some sell all kinds of small toys. Basically, there are some people in front of each stall. Looking from a distance, it gives people a very lively feeling.

"It's really prosperous here." Wang Zhicheng looked at the scene and stood in place. This scene can't be seen in Nanming Kyoto. Maybe it can only be seen when there are lanterns on the 15th of the first month of the year. But it's just that there are many people, and the play and food can't be compared with here.

"Isn't it? It's so nice here that I don't want to go?" Wang Chang felt it and said casually. But this sentence was heard in the ears of his brother Wang Zhicheng. What made him look involuntarily changed. At this time, he had more ideas in his heart.

It was not until other partners had stridden forward and began to greet him to go quickly that Wang Zhicheng promised to "come", then followed and integrated into the crowd.

Delicious, fun, and even juggling. Many of the them have been heard and never seen by Wang Zhicheng and others. After asking about the price, they knew that it was not very expensive. At least they could afford it with an official family like them. Therefore, before long, everyone of them was full of all kinds of "booty."

I bought a lot of things and talked with some businesses. Only then did I know that there is not only one square like this in chixian city. This is the central urban area and the largest square. There are many such squares in the four urban areas of the East, West, North and south. There are even such squares in some residential buildings. Just because of the population, many squares are not as lively as here.

Hearing that there was more than one such lively place, Wang Zhicheng was really surprised. Instinctively, he asked the vendors to pay taxes. He just estimated that there was a lot of excitement in front of each stall, and the queuing people didn't know who they were. In this way, I'm afraid there was a lot of trading volume in one night, the profit was not small, and there should be a lot of business tax.

"Ah, you say business tax, we are a small business, so only 10 percent." the stall owner is obviously a person who is willing to chat, and there is no taboo on this issue.

"10% business tax? How do you charge it?" Wang Zhicheng looked puzzled. He understood that 10% of the total trading volume in one night was used to pay taxes, but how did the tax collection department know how much the trading volume was?

"Of course, we should be satisfied that the king of Wunan has created such good conditions for our Han people. Naturally, there are also unconscious people, but there are many staff in the square. They will secretly record the trading volume of some stalls and compare them later. If anyone is caught for tax evasion, he will be locked up and serve in prison. That's why Such a good life is in front of us, but no one dares to play this little idea. "
