Wang Zhen, who returned first, led all the officials of the Grand Administration Office ten miles out of the city to welcome them.
The imperial guards went ashore first, and under the guidance of the Ba soldiers, they took over all the defense work along the way and entered the temporary palace that had been converted from a newly built dock to conduct an investigation.
After the ceremony, Li Zhi looked at the Baoan City looming in the distance and asked Wang Zhen: "If I want to see the real Baoan City, what should I do?"
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Except for the temporary palace, Bao'an City has not made any special preparations for your Majesty's arrival. Many people in the city don't even know your Majesty is coming. Your Majesty can see the most real Bao'an City whenever he enters the city. However, if you want to see the real Bao'an City, it is not advisable to bring too many guards."
Li Zhi laughed and said, "Okay, okay, then let's postpone lunch to the end of noon. Let's go around the city first. Ten or eight guards will be enough."
Wang Zhen leaned forward and extended his hand, smiling, "Your Majesty, please. Sir, please."
Li Zhi and Wang Zheng got on an open carriage with a flat panel. Wang Zhen sat in the front and drove the car himself. Four riders led the way. After the four riders in the middle, it was the carriages of Li Xian and the other little ones. At the end, there were four more riders. They entered Bao'an County in such a light and simple manner.
At the age of eleven, Li Xian was almost as tall as the people in the dormitory.

Li Zhi nodded without commenting.
Li Xian and his brother looked at each other, not understanding what was going on. Fang Zhe was furious and said, "I have two horses that can carry a thousand pounds. What do you mean by weight?"
As Li Xian got out of the car, he asked, "Do they get paid?"
Li Xian waved his hand and said generously: "It's okay. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It's okay to follow the rules."
Li Xian raised his eyebrows and asked, "They are so old, will others pay the fine obediently?"
Fang Zhe was also giving the same introduction in the back car. After listening to it, Li Xian frowned and asked, "How can the people adapt to such harsh rules? Moreover, most of the people here are uneducated. If they make mistakes repeatedly, won't they be fined a lot of money?"
Fang Zha looked at everyone's size, stopped talking, looked at the old man again, and said to Li Xian: "These guys were selected by the nearby shops to manage the pipeline. They are very difficult to deal with. Let's go down and weigh them. It's Zha's fault that His Highness has been wronged like this."
Li Xian looked at the heights of the people in the dormitory who were watching the fun, and then compared his own height. He suddenly felt a toothache. He was less than fourteen years old, but he was more than half a head taller than those people in the dormitory.
They can eat and drink for free at the shops along the road, as long as they don’t take anything away. They can eat and drink as much as they want, and the fines belong to them, so these guys are very strict in checking.”
There is a rule in the city that no matter if you are a pedestrian or a driver, you must go up right and down left. There is an intersection every twenty meters. If you want to turn, you must do so at the intersection, otherwise you will be fined five cents. "
"Are you blind? More than half of us are just little kids. How can we weigh more than a thousand pounds?"
Zhang Gou shook his head and explained: "They are all lonely elderly people in the orphanage. They are provided with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and only have 100 coins of pocket money every month. They are willing to come here to do this.
Fang Zhao nodded and said, "A lot. After all, there are many workshops in the city. Raw materials, various equipment, logistics rice and meat, etc., the master originally stipulated that a carriage can only carry 500 kilograms of things at most, which is safer.
After all, it is not easy to control a carriage pulling a heavy object. However, even with such strict instructions, some people still refuse to change. It is only a distance of 20 meters. I don’t know what they are doing with such a short time. "
Zhang Gou said with a strange expression: "They are very difficult to deal with. If you dare to run, they will shout loudly, and the people around will help catch you, and then they will be fined ten times the money. If you dare to take action, it will be even more troublesome."
"Bao'an City is divided into four districts, east, west, south and north, by two six-zhang-wide avenues. We are now entering Northeast Avenue. The right is the North District and the left is the East District.
The avenue is paved with coal ash, then paved with bricks and stones, and finally coated with cement.
Ten miles later, we entered the edge of the city. There was a 20-meter-wide avenue that seemed to have no end even at the sunny noon, which shows how big this city is.
"Little kids, what the hell? You are so tall, yet you are still little kids. I think you just look young. You may be several dozen years old. You must come down to be weighed. The Grand Steward's Mansion said that there will be distinguished guests coming recently, and you guys who like to mess around need to be punished severely."
Zhang Gou waved his hands and explained hastily: "At first there was no fine. If you were caught, you just had to stand at the intersection to enforce the law. But some people would rather pay someone to help enforce the law than stand at the intersection and be embarrassed. Finally, we changed it to a fine.
Li Xian stopped talking now, and Li Xian asked, "Are there often horse-drawn carriages carrying heavy objects on the road?"
Wang Zhen slowed down the car and began to explain to Li Zhi.
But some guys, because they want to make more money and the roads are easier to travel, always pull more than a thousand pounds of weight. When they are caught, they start crying and begging for mercy, which is very annoying. "
As I was explaining this, an old man with red sleeves slapped the fender and shouted, "Get down, get down and weigh yourself."
In fact, people in our dormitory will not make mistakes as long as the instructions are explained clearly. Most of the people who make mistakes are rich people. Because they are in a hurry, they would rather pay a fine than walk recklessly. As a result, there have been several incidents of people being killed.
After several people came down, the old man asked them to stand on a wooden frame, and then put a few iron blocks on the scale. The old man looked at the scale, then looked at several people and curled his lips and said, "They are really little kids. So many of them only weigh more than 600 pounds. Go, go, go, hurry up and don't block the road. The main road is busy."
Several people suddenly felt toothache, but they didn't want to get angry with the old man, so they had to return to the carriage in shame.
Li Zhi watched the whole thing from the front, and then asked Wang Zhen with interest: "The rules here are really special."
Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "People have become wiser and their minds are more complicated. In many cases, we can only choose the lesser of two evils. This may be a little troublesome, but it can avoid many accidents. The bigger the direction, the more careful we need to be."
Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. We should be more careful indeed."
