Chapter two hundred and forty-fifth northbound knowledge (2)

The lighthouse is located on a hill near the pier and can be reached by foot. Therefore, Wang Wentong refused to stay in a hotel and take a bus, but did not buy steamed buns. Instead, he walked to the tea shop not far from the pier and bought two cups of milk tea, a unique Ming Dynasty milk tea. The rich milk aroma is mixed with the fresh tea aroma, and different portions of sugar can be added according to the needs of the guests.

Considering that Jia She had never drunk it, Wang Wentong ordered half a pond for himself and gave him full sugar. While waiting, Wang Wentong noticed that the taste of milk tea is no longer the only choice for milk and tea. There are fruity flavors such as plums, apples, grapes, Bodhi, melons, and other tea flavors, as the source of tea increases, and different flavors of tea drinks prepared according to different tea categories.

After the milk tea was ready, Wang Wentong bought a bag of osmanthus cake from the pastry shop next to him, two square-shaped breads. I heard that this was food from the West, and the owner of this shop also came from the West.

However, the other party's fate was a bit miserable. He was captured by the *** believers. He went through many twists and turns, but he became a prisoner of the Mongols. When he arrived in Eastern Mongolia, he happened to run into Ren Zheng, who took the initiative to pardon slaves, so he worked as a worker in the workshop for a while. After obtaining household registration in Liaoning Province, he applied for a loan to open a store from the Mongolian Bank.

After proving his skills with both hands, the Mongolian Bank allocated the money needed to open a store to him. This gave him the opportunity to open a store near the dock.

After hearing the store owner's experience, Jia She was both amazed at the richness of the other party's experience and was also surprised by the tolerance and openness of the Ming Kingdom. In terms of benevolence and righteousness, it seemed to be comparable to the Song Kingdom, which praised itself as a country of ethics. After all, there are still a large number of slaves in the Song Kingdom. Moreover, it is not that simple for foreign countries like this to obtain the identity of a free citizen in the Song Kingdom.

It is almost impossible for a slave to become a free citizen just by himself. It is simply whimsical to even fund his opening of a store.

Looking at the satisfied smile on the shop's face, Jia She also developed a little inexplicable favor for this northern barbarian country. Looking at the dock area's prosperous business, various shops lined up one after another. The customers and tourists coming and going, in the complexity, and orderly.

What surprised him even more was that in such a prosperous place, there was no beggar. The streets were clean and tidy, and sometimes people in yellow jackets took the initiative to clean up the abandoned items that fell on the ground. According to Wang Wentong, this was a unique sanitation worker in the Ming Dynasty. The main responsibility was to be responsible for the dirt on the street.

Sometimes there were officials wearing uniform black slim clothes on the streets. This was the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's public security army. Maintaining harmony and stability on the streets was their main responsibility.

Unlike the people who think that they are afraid of the officials, the people here seem to be very adaptable to the existence of the officials. Jia She noticed that when the officials inspected, some familiar shops would take the initiative to say hello to the officials.

Not only that, these shops would also take the initiative to hand over the food they sold to the officials to try. Jia She couldn't help but feel sank, thinking that the officials in Mingguo were actually the same as the Song Ting. These people probably didn't really not fear the officials, but deliberately made this gesture to bring the relationship closer.

At this time, a store owner who was too enthusiastic suddenly touched the pastry in his hand while pushing. Not only that, he also smashed the official's clothes and made a big stain.

Just when Jia She thought that a familiar scene of a police officer scolding the people and the people suing him, the police officer took out a copper plate from his pocket and asked about the price of the pastry.

The store owner repeatedly apologized and refused to accept it. However, the official still stuffed the copper coins on the store counter to serve as a purchase of pastries.

"Jichuan, are you very confused about why the official officers are not accepting it?" Wang Wentong asked with a smile when he saw the confusion on Jia She's face.

"If I see it from the Tao, I am really confused about it. Just a piece of pastry must be not high. It is because of the store that fell to the ground. Why should the official officer be so polite? This is really a bit harmful to the dignity of the government." Jia She said the truth. The officials and people of the Song court would never be so polite. In front of the people, these people in the government are superior. If they don't make things difficult for them, they are already the master of the Qingtian in the people's words.

"Jichuan didn't know that this is the unique people's sentiment of our Ming country. Long before the founding of the country, when the king was still in the Eastern Mongolian grassland, he first established a security army, so he explicitly ordered them not to infringe on the people, not to use the gifts given by the people for nothing, and not to use power for personal gain. Those who violated these three bottom lines were initially guilty of death, but now they have been sentenced to abortion."

"It is really a blessing for the people!" Jia She had to sincerely admire him.

Wang Wentong bowed to the northeast and said, "Such good governance is indeed a blessing for the people and a blessing for the bright country. But when he was with the king of lords, the king once said that although the tyranny of the Khan's court can last for a lifetime, it cannot win the hearts of the people. Eastern Mongolia is not as powerful as the Khan's court, so he can only do more good governance and win the hearts of the people. In this chaotic world where life is like grass, try his best to create a paradise of peace and peace."

"The king of the country is ambitious and is a model of a wise monarch." Jia She thought of the Song court's officials becoming older and there were troubles in the court with historians and prime ministers, and he felt that they were somewhat inferior to the Ming Dynasty.

The hill where the lighthouse is located is not far from the commercial area. Turning around a street and going further forward, the road surface begins to stretch upward. There are fewer shops on the roadside and more homes for ordinary people. However, the street is still clean, and the cement pavement has ended here, and it has been changed to a blue stone road.

Looking from the bottom of the mountain, the lighthouse is like the legendary jade pillar that is daunting. Following the steps, Jia She held a wooden cup of milk tea and was drinking it while talking to Wang Wentong, which was quite content.

This wooden cup can be sold for money. It is outlined with beautiful ladies' paintings. According to Wang Wentong, the woman in this painting is a popular actor in the Ming Dynasty opera troupe. Next to the ladies, there are three big characters "Baiweige", which is the name of the shop where they bought milk tea.

Even a cup was made so exquisitely that Jia She sighed at the Ming Dynasty's businessman's way of studying. The deep-rooted impression of barbarians has quietly collapsed.

When they arrived at the top of the mountain where the lighthouse was located, a team of soldiers guarded the tower. They were from the navy and were here to guard the lighthouse. Regarding Wang Wentong’s request to go up to the tower, the soldiers refused their visit according to their responsibilities.

In this regard, Wang Wentong did not use his official position to suppress others. He could only express his regret and dispel this thought. However, a pavilion was built around the lighthouse. Wang Wentong and Jia She were eating and drinking milk tea. Looking at the scenery at the foot of the mountain, thousands of sails competed for crossing and hundreds of boats competed for the current, which was a unique feeling.
