In Pingwan County, a donkey cart was struggling to pull goods and people were walking breathlessly.
As the road became easier and easier to travel, Emperor Jing's mood gradually became brighter.
Before entering here, there were dirt roads everywhere, but the roads now are obviously paved by humans.
Moreover, there were actually quite a few people on the road heading towards Pingwan County.
This official road seems to be very popular.
What’s even more amazing is that there are actually quite a few people riding bicycles!
Emperor Jing looked at this strange sight and couldn't help asking, "I didn't expect that there are so many people outside the capital who are willing to ride bicycles? This road doesn't look very comfortable, does it?"
Fang Zheng nodded slightly.
How can it be uncomfortable? Although it is a repaired dirt road, the current level of bicycle shock absorption is still not suitable for riding on this kind of road.
Those people who ride bicycles must be feeling uncomfortable seeing the bumpiness.
I guess if I ride at this speed for an hour or two, the basket will be broken...
However...as to why he had to ride even though it was uncomfortable, Fang Zhengyi probably had some ideas in his mind.
Perhaps the people in this city got the information faster and knew that bicycles were popular in the capital.
So everyone is willing to follow the trend, even if it is uncomfortable, they are willing to ride it, after all, it represents a certain upper-class "trend".
In later generations, there were people who played the West Coast game, with dozens of pairs of pants on their legs.
Some even more shameless people would wear overalls and push their shoulders against the air in public.
So this situation is normal!
Fang Zheng said, "Look, there are so many people here who are willing to ride bicycles. This at least shows that they have some money. Otherwise, on a road like this...why would anyone sell such an impractical tool?"
"Hmm! That makes sense!" Emperor Jing's eyes lit up and he began to observe the passers-by carefully.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that many people were in a hurry, but they did not look sick.
This situation was enough to make Emperor Jing feel much more relieved.
Emperor Jing perked up a bit, with a smile on his face: "I wonder what the scene is like inside the city? By the way, I heard that many soldiers guarding the city have the bad habit of secretly exploiting the people. We won't have to pay any tolls to enter the city, right?"
"Probably not."
Fang Zhengyi thought about it carefully.
He once wrote a letter to Yang Fengfan to warn him not to collect tolls.
In addition, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was dispatched to supervise the matter.
If Yang Fengfan is obedient enough and the deployment of the Jinyiwei does not change, then there shouldn't be any problem.
When we arrived at the city gate, people gathered together and it was very lively.
Many people lined up to enter the city.
Fang Zhengyi stood on the donkey cart, craning his neck to watch. Seeing the people in front of him enter smoothly one by one, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seems that everything is fine. At least judging from the situation outside the city, Yang Fengfan has no problem managing it.
When it was finally Emperor Jing's turn, the four of them got off the car and entered the city.
Suddenly, the soldiers guarding the city reached out and stopped the donkey cart.
"Wait a moment."
Fang Zhengyi was startled and hurried forward to ask, "Sir, is there any problem?"
The guard touched his chin, walked around the car and asked, "Is this your first time here?"
Emperor Jing frowned slightly.
What you fear will come to you! The people in front of them had all entered smoothly, and when they saw that they had a donkey cart, they stopped there.
This soldier must have acted like this because he saw that they could make some money.
As expected...some things can only be discovered by going incognito.
Seeing the soldiers guarding the city approaching, Fang Zheng forced a smile and said, "Yes, this is indeed our first time here. Sir, can you be flexible?"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng handed over an apple.
The soldier looked at the apple with disdain: "Who are you insulting? Why did I lose an apple like you?"
How dare you ask for such a high price?
Emperor Jing became angry and was ready to step forward to argue.
Unexpectedly, the soldier said, "Take it away! This is your first time here, so you don't know our rules. It looks like you want to set up a stall in the city, right?"
"I'm telling you, if you want to set up a stall, you can. There are specially designated areas for you to set up. When you go in, ask someone first and don't mess around."
"Also, you donkeys, if you poop on the street, you have to clean it up, otherwise you will be fined. Do you understand?"
Emperor Jing stopped and blinked in confusion.
Hey... not exploitation? It's actually a kind reminder!
Fang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief: "I see, thank you, sir! Have an apple."
The guard waved his hands impatiently: "Go in, go in, don't do that in front of the people behind you. Who wants to eat your apple?"
When the group entered the city, Wang Erzhu felt a little unbelievable and approached Fang Zhengyi: "Hey, Lu Zhong... the people here are really polite!"
Fang Zheng said disdainfully, "Big Lip, can you please stop calling me Mr. Lu? Call me Master Lu."
"Yes, it's Mr. Lu, let's find a place to set up the stall!" Wang Erzhu looked around with light in his eyes.
Pingwan County, this is Pingwan County!
Although the city looks about the same size from the outside, there are far more people inside than in Xinzhang County!
The roads in the city have been repaired and look very smooth.
There are many more people riding bicycles than outside the city.
There are hawking stalls everywhere and passers-by chatting with them.
There is order in the chaos, a scene of bustle and prosperity. Although it is morning, the smell of fireworks is already in the air.
Even Emperor Jing couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
So far, the people below are still reliable in doing things.
