Chapter 333 Xianyang, which has changed again
"Please look, this is Xianyang, my capital of Qin!" Pointing at the city not far ahead, Gan Yu said to Master Moye and others.
Looking in the direction that Gan Yu pointed, Master Moye and others saw a city standing on the earth. The scale of this city is not as large as that of their Peacock Kingdom capital, Fax City. Fax City has 64 gates, and there are more than 500 city towers on the city wall. How many city towers are there in this city?
But for some reason, I always feel that this city is better than Fahrenheit City, which is better than Fahrenheit City, which is inclusive and rich and powerful. Although their Fahrenheit City is huge, it does not give people this spiritual and spiritual feeling.
From this city, you can see what kind of country Qin is, what kind of king Qin is, and what kind of group of people are the Qin people...
On the contrary, although their Fahrenheit City is large and wide, it lacks this charm and precipitation, as if it only has a good-looking skin and has no touching connotation.
This is Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom. Now it appears in their eyes, which means that their destination is coming soon, but Master Moye and others are not very happy.
Because they didn't know what they would face after entering this city, they were not sure about what they wanted to do, and more importantly, they didn't know what the Qin king in this city was about them and the Peacock Kingdom?
But when we get here, there is no way back, so we can only take one step at a time, and hope that this trip will get a good result.
Smothering his thoughts in his heart, Master Moye praised: "It is really a good city, and it is worthy of being the capital of the country!"
After hearing Master Moye's words, Gan Yu smiled and led Master Moye and others to approach Xianyang.
As they approached, Master Moye and others saw more scenes related to Xianyang and heard more about Xianyang.
On the way, there were many people who were heading to Xianyang like them, and many people who left Xianyang and went to other places.
Most of these people were Qin people, and there were a few Gentiles. When they noticed these passers-by, they also noticed them. The Qin people looked at them boldly and curiously, and even greeted them and gave them some comments.
Master Moye understood some of them, saying, "A new foreigner came to our Daqin?", "Where did these foreigners come from? They look very different from us. They look quite similar to those foreigners in the Western Regions. They can't they also come from the Western Regions, right?", "Why do they dress like this? They even shave their hair?"...
These Qin people looked at them with a sense of pride and pride: It was because of their great Qin that these foreign barbarians came to worship!
Listening to these conversations, Master Moye performed the Buddhist rituals of the Peacock Kingdom and replied in elegant words: "Dear donors, I am a monk and others from the Peacock Kingdom!"
Hearing this, people could speak elegant words, the Qin people who were watching them were stunned for a moment, and then the conversation became even more lively. Why do they call them "donors"? Why do you call yourself "I am a monk"? Where is the Peacock Kingdom? Is it also in the Western Regions?
Master Moye looked at Gan Yu and found that Gan Yu had no intention of stopping him, so he answered these questions while rushing.
But before he could answer much, he had already arrived in front of Xianyang City Pass. After a series of inspections, he was released into the city. Looking at the city pass in front of him, Master Moye and others took a deep breath and finally realized the appearance of the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom.
Compared with Gan Yu and others before they went on missions, some changes have taken place in Xianyang City. There are still many pedestrians on the streets and shops are everywhere, but they have become more orderly and cleaner, giving people a very organized feeling.
There were also lines and patterns not available on the road before, and there were signs on both sides of the road. Gan Yu looked at it at a glance and the sign was written with the new words "Da Qin" created by Mr. Li Nian.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the street he's been to seems to have become wider...
After looking around, Gan Yu knew it was not an illusion. The streets had indeed become wider because some old houses that could be seen before the mission were gone. Now they have either been rebuilt into shops or become roads.
There were people wearing black black bird armbands on both sides of the road to guide order. Some of these people had few arms and some were lame. They should have been injured Qin soldiers who had been on the battlefield.
During the period when they left Daqin and went on a mission to the Peacock Kingdom, Xianyang changed again, which means that Daqin is still developing towards stronger development.
The only people walking on the street were not only Qin people, but also many Gentiles. The most common ones were the Huns and Baiyue people, but there were also some Western Region faces.
During the period when they left, the countries in the Western Regions also came to Daqin and had their contacts with Daqin?
In the eyes of Gan Yu and others, Xianyang City is like this today, and in the eyes of Master Moye and others, it is a different feeling.
First of all, Xianyang City gives them the feeling that it is clean and orderly, not as messy as their Danmolid and Fahrenheit City?
Garbage, shit and urine can be seen everywhere, the road surface is bumpy, people walk and walk in disorder, and the house is built without any planning. This house is heavy, and another one is stuffed beside the two houses.
Unlike Xianyang City, the roads are so flat with some materials. No one can walk and sit and lie around, go to the toilet anywhere, and the houses are arranged in an orderly manner.
There is a kind of beauty of clean order. If it were in Danmolid and Fahrenheit City, there would have been garbage everywhere on the road and sewage flowed everywhere, and the city was filled with all kinds of strange smells.
The architecture in the city is a common architectural style in the Qin State, and there are not many things to say, but many houses are hung with flags. Master Moye and others already know that it is the national flag of the Qin Dynasty, but what is the bright red and beard-like thing hanging in front of some houses?
Could it be that the lamp was placed in the red thing and lit it in the evening?
The Qin people are really creative and can make such interesting lights!
The lines and patterns drawn on the road were clearly guiding pedestrians to walk so that pedestrians would not be congested or disorderly. The "wooden boxes" set up on the roadside were to store garbage so that they would not throw them on the road at will, thus destroying the cleanliness and tidyness in the city.
But even if a wooden bin is set up to store garbage, what should people in Xianyang City solve the problem if they want to go to the toilet?
Continue to move forward, Master Moye and others saw that there were special houses in some places, and some people were in and out, as if they were for use in the toilet.
This city is not as large as Fahrenheit City, but it surpasses Tamurite and Fahrenheit City in other aspects. This is a more civilized and advanced city!
There are many shops in the city, and the goods sold are diverse, including shops selling food, shops selling clothes, shops selling various daily necessities... Not only are there shops opened by the Qin people, selling goods from Qin people, but also shops opened by Gentiles, selling goods from other countries. Anyway, Master Mo Ye has seen two shops selling Baiyue clothing.
They had passed by the Baiyue tribes and learned about some Baiyue clothing.
This is after the Daqin formally established diplomatic relations with the Baiyue tribes, the Baiyue tribes allowed the Baiyue tribes to open shops and trade in Xianyang. Of course, they must abide by the Daqin laws, pay taxes normally, and give enough rent.
The Huns also opened shops in Xianyang City, all of which were opened by the Hun nobles. Like the shops opened by the Baiyue people, they mainly engaged in singing and dancing performances, food, and clothing. However, the shops opened by the Hun nobles were better than those opened by the Baiyue nobles.
The barbecue shop opened by Touman in Xianyang has become a famous store in Xianyang. If it is placed in later generations, it will definitely be a must-see place for an Internet celebrity to check in.
Touman sent a group of the best barbecue chefs from the Huns to Xianyang, and specially trained a group of beautiful Hun women as waiters, and could earn a lot of money from Xianyang every month.
While observing these shops, Master Moye noticed that some people used a strange coin that he had never seen elsewhere in Qin and seemed to be made of a strange thing called "paper".
Seeing that Master Moye noticed the banknotes, Gan Yu smiled and said, "It was a kind of coin made and issued by Mr. Li Nian. It is made of paper and is now only available in Xianyang. There are not many banknotes issued, and every time they are issued, it will attract many people to compete for it. Moreover, banknotes can buy some things that ordinary coins cannot buy."
"Paper is expensive nowadays and cannot be popularized. When paper can be popularized, paper money will definitely be popularized in our Great Qin world, so there is no need to let everyone compete for it."
This is because Gan Yu was wrong. The reason why paper money became like this was because Li Nian deliberately controlled it, so that people could realize that this thing was precious, recognize it as a currency, and let them develop the idea that paper money is also money, and it would be easier to implement it later.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
So far, the effect is quite good. The people of Daqin in Xianyang City have accepted the existence of paper money, while the people in other places are looking forward to it: Why is this thing only issued in Xianyang? I’ll release it to us quickly. We can’t just let the King of Xianyang enjoy it. We are also a commoner of the Qin Dynasty!
Master Moye nodded, and listened to the various hawking and shouting sounds coming from his ears, and did not feel noisy, but instead felt like he was truly living in the world.
As they walked, Master Moye and others discovered another point. As they walked over, they had not seen a beggar in the city. Is it because there really is no beggar in this city, or is it because the Qin people hid it?
This is naturally not that the Qin Dynasty is so powerful that there are no beggars, nor that it is deliberately hidden. Instead, if it is disabled or aging, it becomes a beggar. Xianyang City has a special place to settle. If it is not incomplete, sick or aging, it is strong but idle, and willing to be a beggar, it will be punished directly with the law.
If the Qin people did not allow beggars to exist, it would be even more difficult for them to preach in Qin, because their monks beg for alms and offer sacrifices to others, which in a sense would be begging.
Continue to move forward, Master Moye and others saw that there were many people gathered on the road ahead. There was a high platform. A middle-aged Qin man was standing on the platform, holding a white object with his hands and writing something on a black wooden board, writing and talking.
In the audience, there were many people watching, most of them were Qin people, but some foreigners were wearing foreign costumes. Some of them were holding bamboo slips and wooden slips in their hands, holding the pen called "brush" and writing with the middle-aged Qin people.
Is this middle-aged Qin man teaching these people about their knowledge and want to teach them words and language in this way? The Qin people want everyone to read the text and make words?
If you think about it carefully, although this method is rough and cannot be learned by many people at once, it is better because it does not cost much. As long as you want to listen, you can take up a position. Over time, batches of literacy will be created.
Will all the Qin people in the future be scholars? A country where everyone reads and reads?
Just thinking about it made Master Moye and others feel cold in their hearts, and their moods become heavier. If their Peacock Kingdom does not change, it will be dangerous sooner or later!
Gan Yu looked at the high platform, and after hearing a few words, he smiled and said, "This is a special establishment by Mr. Li Nian in Xianyang. The young master said, 'There has never been a country that failed, poor, or destroyed because of education. If the country is prosperous and strong, it is necessary to increase support for education'."
In fact, Li Nian never said this. Even when he said it to the First Emperor, he used the original words of William III, without the label "This is what I said by Li Nian".
"The young master also said, 'Now my great Qin State is insufficient to support everyone to read and read, but this does not mean that everything cannot be done'. So Your Majesty set up this stage to let the talents of various schools of thought give lectures on the stage, so that people who want to read and read but have no way can have a front-line opportunity."
The national strength of the Qin Dynasty could not carry out compulsory education for all the people like in later generations, but it was still possible to let some people talk and give some people a chance to learn. Even if this teaching method is not efficient and results are not easy to achieve.
Not only was it set up in Xianyang City, but it also set up in some other cities in the world. However, the conditions in those places are not as difficult as those in Xianyang City, and teaching is more difficult to teach. For example, Xianyang City can teach people every day, and they can still be different people every day, which is difficult to achieve in other places.
The resources are insufficient and the conditions are not comparable, so we can only make up for it gradually with the development of the Qin Dynasty. However, at this moment and in the future, Xianyang will be ahead of many places.
Master Moye looked at the middle-aged man who was teaching on stage and sighed, "Young Master Li Nian of Guibang is really a kind and virtuous man!"
At this moment, a group of teenagers appeared from the street in front. Although they were wearing Qin people's clothes, Master Moye and others keenly realized that these teenagers were not Qin people, and these children who were not Qin people seemed to be learning here.
The clothes they wore were in a uniform style, and the same patterns and words were embroidered on them, which obviously came from the same place.
Seeing that Master Moye and others noticed these young men, Gan Yu smiled and said, "They are students of the Daqin International Academy, who specialize in studying from their country or tribes to Xianyang. The Daqin International Academy is also designed by Your Majesty to accept Gentile students who are not from our Qin people. If you enter it, you can learn the language of our Daqin and learn some other useful things."
The Qin people allowed Gentile children to come to their capital to study their cultural ideas, and even craftsmanship?
Master Moye can think of some of the benefits of this move, spreading the influence of the Qin people's own cultural influence and demonstrating the strength of the Qin people. Only by being strong and advanced can we attract other countries to send people to learn.
But the Qin people weren't afraid that their most advanced things would be learned and eventually opposed to causing harm to themselves?
Can they also send people to those international colleges?
The Qin people were obviously very confident, had a high influence on the surrounding countries, and they were better than their Peacock Country. They had never thought of a way to set up an international college.
Qin is indeed stronger and better than their Peacock Kingdom!
