Chapter 152 New Year's Day

The wedding party was blowing and fighting, and the entire Shangjing City, which was icy and snowy, was instantly filled with noisy atmosphere. The place where the large-scale military marriage was held was the Central Army Camp of Shangjing City, which was located in the outer city. It covers a wide area, and it occupied seven of the 9981 markets.

When all the newlyweds gathered in the campground in the camp, Quan Xu led the princess to the schoolground. He was able to marry the governor of the Northern Army in one day, and the ordinary military generals felt great honor. And the ordinary brides also felt that it was a supreme blessing to be able to get married on the same day as the princess.

"The king is here!" When everyone was here, Ulutus's car also arrived at the schoolyard. Everyone immediately cheered and knelt down to greet him, and the ground that was so cold that it was rustled.

Considering that it is winter now, Ulutus has never had any long-term problems. To put it simply, it is mainly to commend the contributions made by the soldiers present to the rise of Eastern Mongolia, and to instruct them to have a happy future life after getting married today.

Then he personally accepted the newlyweds' kneeling and drank the wedding banquet they handed over. At the same time, some medals and corresponding rewards representing military merit were also distributed to the soldiers on the spot. The female workers who were originally engaged in various workshops also received a gift from the workshop, such as two towels, a wooden basin, a pair of white porcelain water cups, and a bottle of mosquito repellent that was not much.

Gifts are not many, but some are still expensive for ordinary people.

So amid the joy of celebrating, nearly a thousand newlyweds were added to the capital.

More than ten days later, Eastern Mongolia ushered in the annual New Year's Day.

This should be the second New Year's Day that Ulutus celebrated in this world. Due to the end of the Northeast War, Eastern Mongolia had good harvests, and Ulutus also wanted everyone to celebrate. Therefore, he specifically instructed the Business Department of the Ministry of Revenue to spend more thoughts on the New Year's Day.

Various promotions, big discounts and other marketing activities that can only be seen in later generations have blossomed in Shangjing City and even the entire Eastern Mongolia region.

Lugen, who had just become a newlywed couple, went out with his new wife Gulizai to buy some New Year's goods for the festival.

"Selling meat! Selling meat! Fresh beef and mutton, buy one pound and get three taels for free, and sell it at a cheap price." In front of a shop where Wang Tiezhu Meat Store was written, the young man Xiao Wu was shouting at the top of his voice.

This is the newly opened meat shop by his adoptive father, Wang Tiezhu. The meat shop was opened by his own farming workshop jointly with his neighbor, ZuZe. The meat price is much cheaper than ordinary meat shops. Although the cattle and sheep raised in captivity are definitely not as good as free-range food, it cannot stand the convenience of breeding and is cheaper.

Therefore, Wang Tiezhu’s business is also very good!

Now, with the New Year's Day month, all the commercial banks' tax revenue was halved, and their families rushed to carry out promotional methods that their peers were using. This was first started by the three major commercial banks in the government. Other merchants saw that they were good, but they all learned it without any instruction.

However, there is a prerequisite for the halving of the tax this time, that is, during the New Year's Day, there must be some concessions in the price of commercial goods in the past, or the promotional activities carried out will really benefit the people.

This is also the original intention of Ulutus to benefit the people and let the people truly feel the benefits of the government!

It just so happened that all schools were closed during the holidays. Even the workshops were on a three-day holiday. The workers who had rare time to go out for a walk on weekdays, the female workers who wanted to buy some new cloth and make clothes for their children, and the children who stayed in school and didn’t have the opportunity to go out for a walk on the street, all rushed out of their homes and came to the brand-new Shangjing City.

Xiao Wu was a boy with good eyesight. Although he wanted to go and play, he also had to take care of his adoptive father's business. So he took the initiative to ask Wang Tiezhu to hawk him, which was also considered as a way to share his worries.

Lugen and Gulizai were just about to buy some meat and go home, but when they saw the boy shouting so hard, they couldn't help feeling a little pity.

After entering the meat shop, there were pigs, cattle, sheep, rabbits, wolves, spores, fish, deer and other meats. However, except for pigs, cattle, and sheep, the prices were not low.

Since Lugen took out all his savings and purchased real estate in Shangjing City, Gulizai also took out the Mongols he had saved for his work as a female worker to buy the family's belongings, so both of them are now struggling to make money.

In fact, according to their conditions, they can live in a low-rent house with very low rent in Shangjing. However, rent is not as good as buying, and the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own doghouse. Taking advantage of the current government's discounts and subsidies for military soldiers to buy houses, the couple gritted their teeth and bought a house.

After some understanding, Lugen and his wife spent two silver coins and seven copper coins to buy two pounds of mutton and one pound of beef and sheep. The six pounds of mutton and three pounds of mutton were given, which was very cost-effective. After taking the leaves wrapped in beef and mutton, they returned to the street, and they suddenly felt confused.

Lugen used to think that Bayanwugula City was the most prosperous city he had ever seen. But compared to Shangjing now, it was a world of difference. There were crowds of people shopping everywhere, and the roads that were specially designed for cars and horses to walk were also slow-moving cars.

In all the alleys connected to the avenue, the car was completely blocked from driving in. There were people in the middle of the crowd, and everyone was happy, and the white breath he exhaled was even connected, forming a white mist above everyone's heads.

Various accents of hawking sounds also came from the shops along the street. There were almost everything you could eat, play, wear, and use. Although there were not many Mongols in your pocket, you felt an indescribable satisfaction in this bustling street market.

Similarly, Gulizai was also shocked by the prosperity of Shangjing.

When Xunsigan was in Xunshen, as the new imperial capital of Khwarezm, the population of Khwarezm was also quite large. On weekdays, there were countless people on the streets. However, unlike Shangjing, the streets of Khwarezm were filled with sewage and rice fields of livestock, as well as beggars begging along the streets and thieves who were always thinking of stealing money.

But when the capital was in order, the streets were clean and there were no beggars begging, only the security army patrolling the streets from time to time. If beggars and thieves appeared, they would be taken away by the security army as soon as possible.

Those who are indeed unable to work will be arranged by the government, and those who steal things will be sent directly to labor reform prisons for profound labor reform. Women can also show up on the street like men. The older mullah suddenly ran out and said that she was corrupt and was punished.
