Chapter 381: Subsequent Impact
The prince's attention was indeed diverted, and he said, "Well, let's take a look at the side hall nearby."
The Minister of Revenue breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said something like "I'm looking forward to seeing what benefits greenhouse vegetable technology can bring to Daxia."
After these words were spoken, the civil officials were very enthusiastic, except for the Minister of War who expressed some dissatisfaction.
He expressed his attitude positively: "Your Highness, can you look at the world map first? Or, I will look at the world map here while they go to the Ministry of Revenue to play with some green leafy vegetables."
As soon as the Minister of War came out, many generals expressed that they were not interested in farming and only wanted to look at the world map.
As soon as these words were spoken, the civil officials and military officers began to quarrel and fight for power.
At this time, someone suddenly sighed in a low voice: "Although I didn't get to eat the melon at the end, it was worth it because there was something to behold."
This statement caused many officials to nod in approval.
At this moment, there was a sneer and a very inappropriate remark.
"I'm really used to being treated like a beast of burden."
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: ...
They all turned their heads and saw the Third Prince yawning.
The Third Prince stopped yawning and glanced at everyone: "Why are you looking at me? Could I be wrong?! Today is Chinese New Year, and Daxia has a three-day statutory holiday. It's bad enough that the melons haven't been eaten yet, but there are still people who feel happy working for nothing, what a problem."
After saying that, the Third Prince patted his butt and left.
The rest: ...
This was the first time that I was left speechless by the Third Prince.
The hesitant court officials said: "Why not..." They looked at the most active officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War.
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue looked at their superiors with some confusion: "See? No..."
However, the officials of the Ministry of War were not affected by the Third Prince at all, and almost said in unison: "Look!"
Everyone immediately looked at the military officials.
The Minister of War said: "I am not a royal relative. If I follow the Third Prince's way of life, I will sooner or later end up living a life of mud. If I don't make military achievements while I am young, will I regret it when I am old? Of course we have to see."
Everyone suddenly understood and started to analyze the issue actively again.
…
Next day
Since early morning, several streets in Daxia have been bustling with activity.
For example, in the small side streets near several main roads, vendors put hot delicacies from one end of the street to the other, and men and women eat all the way from one end of the street to the other.
On the main road, there are troupes of opera performers, troupes of opera singers, and beautiful lantern floats that can only be seen on major festivals. These wonderful performances compete with each other on the main road.
The crowd rushed to this side and then to the other side.
There were applause and cheers one after another, and the atmosphere was very lively.
The joyful atmosphere of the New Year spread from the streets all the way to Taixue and Yuanxue.
Twenty tables and chairs were set up at the entrances of Taixue and Yuanxue.
Ten male students from Taixue and ten female students from Yuanxue.
They all wore clean and decent clothes, and wrote carefully, stroke by stroke, for the common people who came to buy couplets.
Every half an hour, twenty students would come to take their place.
Because the products are of good quality and low price, and the fact that the school is attended by a young imperial teacher serves as a gimmick, many common people come here to buy couplets, which also allows the students to make a small fortune.
So when the stalls were closed at noon, every young student had a smile on their face.
During the Chinese New Year, the Taixue and Yuanxue schools would dine together in the same hall.
Because there were so many people, Pei Langjun had to repeatedly count and check the number of people eating and report the meals to prevent the chef from wasting ingredients.
He counted several times and asked hesitantly, "Where are Brother Zhu and Brother Lu? Have they arrived?"
When the other gentlemen heard the names of these two people, a look of displeasure flashed across their faces.
But because it was New Year's Day, they didn't say much, just said: "These two people left early in the morning with their things. Most likely they went to visit Prosecutor Wang's home."
