Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 42
Once Yingzheng's decree was promulgated, it was quickly sought after by the people of Xianyang City.

"Long live Your Majesty, the curfew should have been lifted a long time ago. This is a great thing!"

"That's right, Your Majesty has swept across Liuhe. Now that the world is peaceful, there is no need to continue to impose a curfew."

"It's still His Majesty who understands us people best. It's really boring to stay at home every night."

"There's no curfew tonight, oops, I can finally go out and have fun!"

The people of Xianyang City, after learning that the curfew was lifted, all sang and danced and took to the streets, as if they were celebrating a festival.

Little did they know that Ying Zheng's goal was to target the people's pockets.

Zhao Gao and others, who were well versed in business, quickly instructed their men to prepare the tools for the stall as quickly as possible, and then in the evening, they immediately occupied the best street location.

So that night, Xianyang City was brightly lit, just like New Year's Eve, and even more lively than New Year's Eve.

The vendors who saw the business opportunity, and Zhao Gao and others who were well prepared, began to sell locusts and various products along the street.

The aroma of fried locusts soon filled the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, attracting countless people to rush to buy them.

"Well, I finally ate this legendary locust. It's really delicious!"

"I have long heard that nowadays, the emperor's relatives and all the officials in the court are happy that there are no locusts at every meal. Now it seems that it is really worth eating!"

"Yes, yes, this thing was only available in restaurants on weekdays. How could we have the chance to eat it? But now, the curfew has been lifted, and there are vendors selling locusts everywhere. We ordinary people can also eat them anytime and anywhere!"

"The boss will order another bunch, no seasoning, I just like the oily, crispy taste!"

Almost in the entire Xianyang City, people could be seen everywhere holding locusts in their hands to eat. Seeing this scene, Zhao Gao, Li Si and others suddenly burst into laughter.

At this time, the vendors who set up stalls in the city to sell locusts are basically people from the court and officials. This night, they made a lot of money, and this is equivalent to a profitable business, which quickly attracted countless people. jealous.

Soon, common people also joined the street vendors, so only one place in Xianyang City can consume locust larvae within hundreds of miles outside Xianyang.

After Yingzheng learned that after the curfew was lifted, Xianyang City was full of bustling night scenes, so he couldn't help but go out in disguise.

But this time on the tour incognito, Ying Zheng did not take the young master Fusu and the young master Hu Hai, but took Mrs. Qiongzhi and Zhao Yi on the trip.

Mrs. Qiongzhi was overjoyed to be able to leave the palace alone with Ying Zheng and take her son with her, which was enough to show that she and her son received Ying Zheng's attention.

But Zhao Yi didn't think so. He felt deep pain for accompanying Yingzheng Weifu on the tour, but Mrs. Qiongzhi had to drag him along, and he was helpless.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li Si is over there in the East Market now. In the West Market are Mr. Zhao Gao and Mr. Qiang Yu. The Right Prime Minister and other adults are also nearby. Do you want to..." Zhang Han quickly inquired about various markets. Please report to Ying Zheng.

"It seems like it's really lively. There's no need to disturb them. I'll just walk around." Ying Zheng nodded slightly and continued walking forward.

Ying Zheng soon discovered that after the curfew was lifted in the Xianyang market, almost all the barbecue locust stalls were divided up by his ministers.

Based on Yingzheng's rough calculations, it can be seen that the night market has not only boosted Xianyang's economy, but also made his ministers a lot of money. Of course, the money they made came from roasting locusts.

After all, this is the national policy that Ying Zheng currently values ​​​​because of the organizations of these ministers, more and more people are eating locusts.

And this has created that more and more people are going out of the city to catch locusts. According to the information of the Black Ice Platform, the entire Guanzhong Plain is now full of people who catch locust larvae, and there are even many people in the old land of the Six Kingdoms.

As a result, many places have almost eliminated locust larvae, which to a certain extent has caused an increase in the purchase price of locusts.

After Zhao Yi learned this information, he was also shocked. He did not expect that because of a locust, Xianyang City's night market economy was actually created, and it became so prosperous all of a sudden, which has never been recorded in history.

[Damn, what the hell is going on? This old guy really has something! 】

[The locust plague was solved by him at once, and now the night market economy has actually been derived from the locusts, and the curfew has been cancelled. Is this really the Qin Shihuang I know? 】

[However, except for old things, everyone in the court is a genius. It seems that there have been no so-called stupid people since ancient times! 】

Zhao Yi looked around, commenting on the night market, and expressed his own opinions.

Completely unaware, Ying Zheng listened carefully, sometimes thoughtfully, sometimes with a smile on his face.

[But in the end, there is still no experience. The guys from the DPRK and China don’t know how to cooperate, nor do they know how to integrate the existing conditions. If all the vendors are concentrated to form a large scale, the night market economy in front of us will not last long. 】

[The real night market economy requires a plan and scale. Of course, festivals or temple fairs can also be used to integrate the existing basic conditions, and then the landmarks of Xianyang City will be formed. Food streets, barbecue streets, etc. will not be more prosperous than they are now. ? 】

Ying Zheng listened carefully, and suddenly became excited when he heard the last part. The grand scene of the night market that Zhao Yi had imagined appeared in his mind, and he almost couldn't help clasping his hands and applauding.

But at this moment, a familiar figure flashed across Ying Zheng's eyeballs, causing Ying Zheng to frown.

That figure seemed to be the young master Hu Hai. The more Ying Zheng looked at the two women standing beside him, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Every move of Yingzheng is in Zhang Han's sight, almost indistinguishable from Yingzheng's front and back, and Zhang Han also saw the young master Hu Hai.

But when Zhang Han saw the two women beside Hu Hai, he was about to leave his body.

Although Zhao Yi just wants to be an idle fish and doesn't want to deal with external affairs, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have basic insights.

When he noticed that the eyes of Ying Zheng and Zhang Han were not right, and they were all looking in the same direction, Zhao Yi quickly looked in that direction, and suddenly noticed a familiar figure in that direction.

[Is that Hu Hai?This guy is fine, hug left and right, the girl on the left looks good, but why is there a nun on the right? 】

[The taste of this product is too unique. It’s like two extremes. Are you afraid that you won’t be conspicuous enough when walking on the street? 】

[Tsk tsk, that nun is quite strange. She doesn’t even have an eyebrow. If you don’t look carefully, you really can’t tell she’s a woman! 】

[What's wrong with this Hu Hai, I just don't understand it, the taste is so strange...]

Originally, Ying Zheng was going to pretend that he didn't see him and turn around to leave, but Zhao Yi's scolding suddenly aroused his curiosity. He couldn't help but look at Hu Hai one more time. After seeing the appearance of the woman next to Hu Hai clearly, he instantly became furious. furious.
