After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 215 Free Trial

There were no night markets in the Qi Dynasty. There were only lantern festivals and temple fairs at night on certain festivals, so no one would miss such nights.

When we arrived at the streets of Chamdo, it was indeed bustling with people of all ages, men and women.

And many people, like Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei, wore masks.

Ye Wuwei looked around and found that the street lights were very beautiful.

There are lamps of various shapes, including lamp mountains, lamp towers, lighthouses, light boats, lanterns, lamps, and light balls.

However, the entertainment methods are relatively simple, basically guessing riddles and eating Yuanxiao, which is far less diverse than the lantern festivals of a certain dynasty recorded in history.

In a certain dynasty, in addition to guessing lantern riddles, there were also entertainment performances such as beating the spring ox, lion dancing, iron flower making, singing and dancing, acrobatics, and juggling.

However, Ye Wuwei could understand the reasons behind all this.

Although the Lantern Festival has a history of more than 500 years, nine dynasties have changed in the past 400 years. The people have experienced hundreds of years of war and have almost no assets. They only think about how to fill their stomachs every day, so naturally they have no time for entertainment.

Ye Wuwei turned his head and said to Qi Wushuang:

"I hope that one day you can stabilize the Qi Dynasty, make its economy prosperous, and enrich its people; that the night market in Qamdo will be brightly lit every night, so that the people of Qamdo can come out to eat, drink, and have fun at any time of the night."

Qi Wushuang looked around and imagined the situation:

"That will be a blessing for the Qi Dynasty, for me, and for the people!

I will work towards this goal and hope you can help me!"

"Okay, let's work hard together!"

The two were talking and admiring the lanterns on the street when they suddenly saw a long queue in front of them.

There are men, women, old and young.

"Xiao Dengzi, go and see what's going on up ahead?"

Xiao Dengzi went there and came back to report after a while:

"Minister Qi held a food tasting in the name of His Majesty, collecting a variety of delicacies such as paste rings, cut cakes, white dough, black dough, amber dough, and white cocoon candy for the people to taste for free."

"Qi Guangren?"

"Yes."

Ye Wuwei smiled and said, "This is a good idea. It doesn't cost much but the impact it creates is very good."

Qi Wushuang also thought so.

Nowadays, the people of Chamdo can barely fill their stomachs and have no money left for snacks. Qi Guangren is definitely trying to win the hearts of the people for Qi Wushuang.

“Who’s running the show here?”

"Minister Qi."

"Call him over."

Xiao Dengzi agreed and then brought Qi Guangren over.

Qi Guangren was about to bow, but Qi Wushuang said first, "I don't want anyone to know, so there's no need to be polite."

After hearing what Qi Wushuang said, Qi Guangren just performed the usual courtesy.

"Your idea of ​​free samples is great, but please be mindful of food safety."

"I've thought about this and asked the doctor to wait on the side."

Ye Wuwei said:

“The Lantern Festival has just started, and there are not many people queuing up yet. I estimate that more and more people will line up soon.

I suggest you open more queueing areas and hire more people to maintain order."

Qi Guangren hesitated and said:

"This isn't a porridge distribution year, so why are there so many people lining up for snacks?"

"Believe me, it will happen."

Qi Wushuang said, "You won't go wrong if you listen to Wuwei."

"Then the food I prepared may not be enough."

"Then hurry up and prepare some more. No matter how much it costs, you must ensure the people enjoy the food. You must not let the food tasting end in vain."

Qi Wushuang just said, "Listen to Wuwei."

Qi Guangren's expression became serious: "I'll do it right away."

Ye Wuwei asked: "Do we have enough manpower? Do we need the Imperial Guards to help?"

"If it's really as you say, we really need the help of the Royal Guards."

Qi Wushuang ordered Qi Wu:

"Go talk to Nie Youren and ask him to deploy more guards to maintain order."

Qi Wu agreed and went to find Nie Youren.

Qi Guangren also bowed and took his leave.

Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei stood still, watching the people not far away trying snacks.

At this time, a sarcastic male voice was heard:

"These lowly people are like starving ghosts, waiting in such a long line for just a snack."

Another female voice sounded:

"So they will always be fit only to be pariahs, fit only to be enslaved by the prince."

Hearing these two voices, Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei couldn't help but frown and looked towards the source of the sound.
