Chapter 397 Excellent Nation
"I'm back. You have to spend the money I left for you as soon as possible to hire more local people and rebuild the grain stack. Don't delay the subsequent major events in the alliance." The person in charge of Yizhou explained.

"Don't worry, I promise there will never be any problems again." Mu Fei promised.

……

"It turns out that someone actually cast 'Nothing But'"

Liu Xinqi looked at the letter in his hand and sighed.

Worry about ghosts is also called "nothing to do". In the Song Dynasty, rich people cast silver into a big silver ball. The weight of a silver ball was basically more than 1000 taels. The implication is: even thieves will be worried when they see it, and there is nothing they can do with it!
"This is not the biggest. It is rumored that there is a large silver ball worth more than 3000 taels. One person cannot move it at all." Xu Zhong replied.

"Rumors are just rumors after all. Thinking about this big silver ball worth more than 1000 taels is already shocking."

"Do you want to transport it back?"

"No, just melt it on the spot and use it to pay for listening. Transporting it back and forth is a waste of manpower."

Although Liu Xinqi was a little curious in his heart, he was still rational. He had no choice but to hold it to death. It was just a big silver ball. The difference from the big iron ball was that the material was different, and there was nothing special about it.

After discussing some other matters with Xu Zhong, the incident of the grain merchants' counterattack came to an end.

After lunch, Liu Xinqi walked on Penglai Street.

Penglai now is very different from when Liujiabao first moved here two years ago.

The streets are bustling with people, and there are shops on both sides of the main street. Even some street-facing walls that originally belonged to private houses have been renovated, with doors and windows facing the street, and used for commercial purposes.

There are many carriages on the street. According to regulations, carriages entering the city must be led by people and are not allowed to be driven, so the carriages move very slowly.Riders riding into the city were subject to the same restrictions and were not allowed to ride in the streets unless there was a military emergency.

There are no standardized traffic rules in Penglai City, so riding horses in the streets can easily cause people to be hit, resulting in death or injury.

Liu Xinqi also wanted to plan and establish more complete traffic rules in the city, but due to various factors such as street width, personnel quality, and horse quality, he could only postpone it.

suddenly,

Liu Xinqi saw an adult man with a "Zongfa" hairstyle and a little girl with a "Mei Douliang" hairstyle entering a grocery store.

Liu Xinqi's stay in the Japanese country was not short, and he had a fairly good understanding of the hairstyles of the Japanese people during this period. He knew that "Zongfa" was the hairstyle of Japanese adult men during this period, and "Mei Douliang" was the hairstyle of Japanese underage children.

The "Mei Douliang" hairstyle is to divide all the hair into two parts and tie them up on both sides of the ears, which is completely different from the "Zongjiao" style of the Han people.The difference is that the "general horns" of Han children face upward, like two cow horns.The "Medou Liang" hangs down on both sides of the ears, like two giant black "hair" earrings.The same thing is that both hairstyles are cute.

"Total hair" is to comb the front hair back and tie it into a bun at the back. It is like the ponytail of modern women in later generations, but it is just a ponytail.The hairstyles of the Han people in this period were different. Young people wore "hair bundles" and adults wore "crowns."

"Call those two Japanese people over."

Liu Xinqi ordered the guard.

"Yes!"

A guard who could speak Japanese followed him into the grocery store. After a while, he walked out with two Japanese people and walked up to Liu Xinqi.

"Sir!" The Japanese greeted in awkward Chinese.

"How did you get here?" Liu Xin asked in Chinese. He did not use Japanese, but he spoke very slowly to avoid being incomprehensible to the Japanese.

"Your country went to the Japanese country to buy labor, and we were bought." The Japanese people replied.

Liu Xinqi knew that Japanese people would enter labor camps first after buying them, and only after learning Chinese would they have the status of criminals and have a certain degree of freedom.Seeing that the Japanese can speak Chinese fluently with him, he should already have the status of a criminal.

"Are you still used to coming here?" Liu Xinqi asked. "Life in Han is much better than in Kyushu. At least I don't have to worry about going hungry. My income can still support my daughter." The Japanese replied.

Xinghan League provides salaries to all reform-through-labour detainees.

"Work hard and strive to obtain civilian status as soon as possible and settle down here." Liu Xinqi encouraged.

"Thank you sir."

Waving his hands to show that nothing happened, let him do his own thing. Liu Xinqi walked directly towards the port. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that the little girl from the Japanese country had been secretly looking at him.

The conversation between the two just now did not ask each other's names from beginning to end. Liu Xinqi didn't know the name of the Japanese, and he didn't know who Liu Xinqi was.

"Father, the leader of the あの人は alliance?"

Liu Xinqi heard the little girl ask her father from a distance, meaning "Father, that person seems to be the leader of the alliance?".

That's really clever. If you were a Han child, your starting point would be much higher in Xinghan League. It's a pity.

After leaving the city, we came to a port expansion construction site. Unexpectedly, Yingping was also here.

"Alliance."

"Why are you here."

Liu Xinqi looked around and saw that the construction site was not big and there was no need for the prison director to monitor it personally.

As the three ports of Jiaozhou Bay, Baishiwan and Haicang Town are getting bigger and bigger, the status of Penglai Port has become lower and lower, and the construction scale is far inferior to the above three ports. All.

"I have some free time today, so I came over to take a look. There are many Korean and Japanese workers at this construction site."

“How do these guys work?”

"They are all pretty good. Although they are not as hard-working as our Han people, they are much better than the Jin people. Among them, the Japanese people are the most hardworking and the progress of learning Chinese is generally faster than that of the beautiful people." Ying Pinghui reported.

The overall quality of East Asians is pretty good.

"This nation is excellent." Liu Xinqi praised.

Even if future generations hate the Japanese nation, they have to admit that this nation is indeed an excellent nation.

Let’s not talk about its madness during World War II, but in peacetime, as a small island country, this country can maintain its status as the world’s second largest economy for decades, which must have its merits.

However, as a standard Han Chinese, he can recognize the excellence of other nations, but deep down in his heart, he must firmly believe that the Han nation is the greatest nation in the world. This is not populism, but self-confidence.

Liu Xinqi thinks so too.

Thousands of years of history and the road to rejuvenation have proven that the Han nation is no worse than any other nation in the world.

"It is indeed excellent. I don't know what the national system of the island country is like. Just rely on the people of this country to work hard and be good at learning. It can be predicted that this country will become a great force and be our strong enemy." Ying Ping agreed.

[No, I will not give them any chance in this life. 】

Liu Xinqi silently promised in his heart.
