What does sleep at midnight and up at midnight for those who want to make money to support their families?

The hardworking people have been like this from ancient times to the present.

Anyway, as Su Changsheng saw, this is what it is. Whether in Jiaxing or Lin'an, hardworking people always get up early and go to bed late.

"Lin'an is the most prosperous world. People who come back late will go home to bed at 3 o'clock in the morning, and people who get up early will get up at work and work. People who come back late want to eat night food to satisfy their cravings. People who get up early also need to eat morning food to fill their stomachs, so that they can start work early.

So the vendors in the food business are constantly working day and night, almost at any time, as long as you come here, you can eat what you want, but you may not be able to drink the snails of clear juice. Now it is winter, and there are no snails."

Su Changsheng said with a smile.

"This... Your Majesty remembers it wrong?"

"Your Majesty left Lin'an in March and April. I guess he remembered it wrongly, but even without the snail soup, there are still many other delicacies, such as the fish soup, which is very good, the taste is delicious, the fish meat is soft and glutinous, and it melts at a time of sip. It is really the best choice.

And it was a coincidence that it was the day when the Yuanxi Festival was coming soon. The Song people celebrated the Yuanxi Festival very grandly and lively. That night, men and women in Lin'an City would come out to play. Hundreds of thousands of people celebrated the Yuanxi Festival all night and would never leave until dawn. You must not miss it."

Xin Qiji swallowed and sighed very much after hearing this.

"I heard it a little before, and I thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it to be true. Song Zhifushu is really not a joke. It was a lively celebration of Yuanxi in his hometown, but how could it be as large as hundreds of thousands of people? Even if the Ming Dynasty celebrates Yuanxi, it would not be so lively, right?"

After Su Yonglin founded the country, of course, he also regarded the Lantern Festival as an important festival and was on holiday, but it was different from the celebrations of the Song people for five days and five nights.

From the 14th day of the first lunar month to the 18th day of the first lunar month, there were lantern festivals and temple fairs for five days and five nights, and officials could rest. People in Lin'an City would release their purchasing power and ** in those five days.

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that officials only had two days off, so how can the people celebrate the official's non-intervention? However, officials should continue to devote themselves to the endless hell of work after taking a break for up to two days.

Su Yonglin himself was of course the leader in charge, so the Ming Dynasty celebrates Yuanxi Festival, definitely without the Southern Song Dynasty's atmosphere of the king and the people's fun together.

Su Yonglin is a workaholic and has strict requirements for officials. He requires them to focus most of their energy on work, not to slack off, not to abolish public for personal gain, strictly prohibited officials from gambling, and banned gambling games such as horse-drawn hangs within the court, which will eliminate the extravagant scene of civil and military play in the previous dynasty.

However, Su Changsheng just shook his head for Xin Qiji's surprise.

"That is, Lin'an and some coastal towns are just looking at the prosperity."

Speaking of this, Su Changsheng looked disdainful: "If you go deep into some mainland towns and see, you will know what depression and dilapidation are, and the hell on earth is. Song is like a golden jade that is decayed and shredded in it. The whole country raises a city, and a giant city that sings every night, and the whole country is exhausted."

The little surprise that Xin Qiji had just risen up immediately dissipated.

"Is that true?"

"All those of us who followed His Majesty first knew that we had traveled all over the southeast coast of Song and went deep into many mainland towns. We had seen too many tragedies on earth with our own eyes. Looking at the State of Song, we can't just look at Lin'an."

Su Changsheng shook his head repeatedly.

What this said was reasonable, Xin Qiji nodded with a heavy expression.

"With that being said, it would be great if we could have such a life. What should the Ming Dynasty do to make the people live like this? All sentient beings suffer, but if they can be happy, who wouldn't want to?"

Of course, Su Changsheng didn't know how to answer this question. He only knew that the Song people's method would definitely not work.

However, this did not prevent Xin Qiji from deciding to go to the night market of Zhong'anqiao Shopping Street on the evening of the 14th of the first lunar month, understand the style of Lin'an, and experience what the situation is like in this city that has been supported by the whole country.

Do it as you say it, Xin Qiji's action has always been very powerful.

On the evening of the 14th day of the first lunar month, Xin Qiji disguised himself, protected by five guards and a local Lin'an team member of the Second Operation Team of the Skynet Army, wearing Song people's Day costumes, and left the station when the sun sets, and merged into the tide of people in Lin'an City.

There are so many people.

This is Xin Qiji's biggest feeling after setting foot on Lin'an Market.

Since he went south, he always heard people say that Lin'an has a population of one million. He only thought this was an exaggeration, but when he saw him today, he felt that even if it was an exaggeration, he might not be able to exaggerate much.

There are crowds of people, and the crowds are surging. Wherever you see, there are people everywhere, and laughter and joy in your ears.

As for Xin Qiji's observation, what is even more amazing is that there seem to be more women than men.

The Lantern Festival is about to be turned on. When the sky becomes dark, the city is filled with fireworks and lights, and orange light covers the entire Lin'an City.

At this time, Lin'an City is as dazzling as the only night pearl on the dark land. How can such a beautiful scenery restrain the woman's footsteps?

During the season when the lights are set, the people are intriguing and tour all night.

Women from ordinary people can show up without any scruples during these days, enjoying the free and beautiful air, walking around the streets, coming and going, visiting the shops arranged on both sides of the streets, and at the same time, releasing the shopping that has been held in for a long time.

They brought their family with their families, and the couple, with their children and some elderly people, went out to play in groups, with their faces full of smiles of seeing novel things, and there was no difference between men and women.

Compared with the families of ordinary people, the female family members of officials are much more implicit when they go out.

In order to prevent people from being squeezed and taken advantage of by others on the street, they used silk sections or cloth to surround them to isolate the people outside, called Zi Si Step Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Trap Good expression and status.

Xin Qiji looked at the dazzling array of lively scenes and fresh things, and for a moment he almost forgot his identity and purpose. He was full of surprises and happiness, as if he was back when he was young, he followed his elders at home to participate in the lively festival.

As he walked along the way, he asked some things he couldn't quite understand, and the Tianwang Army spy who was a native of Lin'an explained it to him.

What is this, what is that, what are these people doing, what are those people doing?

When I walked across a street, it was getting darker when I turned around. Xin Qiji's eyes were getting better. At first glance, he saw some young men and women in the woods on the side of the street, in groups of two, not knowing what he was doing.

Following Xin Qiji's gaze, the secret agent also saw the scene and smiled.

"I'm afraid this is a man and woman who secretly made an appointment with her elders in the family."

"ah?"

Xin Qiji was quite surprised.

He has been well-read since childhood and was deeply influenced by the words of his parents' orders and matchmakers. He pays attention to not treating the wrongdoers and not listening to them, and never belittles any woman, let alone getting started, and he doesn't even look at her.

Su Yonglin transformed him into political ideas, but the scope of the transformation did not involve the relationship between men and women. Xin Qiji was still quite conservative. How could he not be surprised to see this scene at this moment?

The men and women in Lin'an City... actually fell in love freely and had a secret meeting?

"What a convention..."

Xin Qiji muttered.

"The moon rises to the willows, and after dusk, this is Ouyang Xiu's poem. In Lin'an, this is a common thing. Even if the elders in the family know, they are still unable to control themselves. As long as they don't cause human relations, why bother to do the thing that breaks up the couple?"

The secret agent smiled, very ambiguously.

Xin Qiji immediately looked at him with admiration.

"Have you also read Ouyang Xiu's poems?"

"When my subordinates were very wealthy at home when they were young, they studied with Master Meng for several years, so they were very knowledgeable about literature and literature. Later, their family was ruined and they were harmed by enemies. In addition to their subordinates, the whole family was dead. If Director Su had not rescued him, his subordinates would have died long ago."

The secret agent laughed and seemed to see everything away: "But that's all the things that happened in the past, and they're all gone, and my subordinates no longer think about those things that happened in the past."
