I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

Su Xing and several other students walked along the bluestone pavement into the ancient city of Pingyao.

The sun shines over the rammed earth walls of the ancient city. There is no hustle and bustle of the city here. All you can hear are the shouts of vendors and the fluttering of the flags of the escort agencies. It seems as if you have fallen into the old times of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

A few of them first strolled around the ancient city, then bought passes to several attractions in the scenic area and rented a sightseeing bus, which also included a tour guide.

There were seven people in the car, including three girls including Su Xing and four boys including Sun Pengfei.

The driver was only responsible for driving, and the tour guide was a woman in her thirties who spoke with a local accent.

She smiled and said to the young tourists, "Hello everyone, my last name is Li. Now I will explain everything to you."

"Hello, Sister Li."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Everyone sat in the car and greeted Sister Li and the driver.

The driver started the car and Sister Li began to explain the history of this ancient city to everyone.

"Today we'll follow the wheel of the carriage, from the county government office to the bank, and slowly tell the story of this ancient city..."

The creaking sound of the wheels rolling over the bluestone road is particularly ceremonial.

Our first stop was the Pingyao County Yamen. Sister Li led us around, explaining, "This is the best-preserved ancient county yamen in the country. Look at the 'Silence' and 'Keep Away' signs on either side of the ceremonial gate. Back then, when the county magistrate was on his way, the entire street would be silent once these signs were raised..."

Entering the hall, the plaque "A Clear Mirror Hangs High" exudes majesty. She pointed to the kneeling stones below the hall and said, "The one in the middle is where the plaintiff and defendant kneel, and the ones on both sides are where the witnesses kneel. The rules of ancient case-solving are all hidden in these details."

Cheng Xiuning curiously touched the wooden torture device next to her. Sister Li quickly added, "These are replicas, but they show how strict the laws were in the old days. We must not imitate them."

After visiting the county government office, the sightseeing bus took them to the entrance of the city wall.

Sister Li took everyone up the city wall. She said, "The city wall has a circumference of 6 kilometers. Standing on the wall, you can see the gray tile roofs of the entire ancient city. It's very photogenic."

Su Xing and others walked forward holding the battlements on the city wall. The wind blew past their ears, and it seemed as if they could hear the footsteps of ancient soldiers patrolling.

Some students took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the Drum Tower in the distance, and Sister Li also helped them find the best spots for taking pictures.

"From here, the Drum Tower, lanterns, and bluestone pavement can all be seen in the same frame. I'm sure they'll get a lot of likes when I post them on WeChat Moments."

After getting off the city wall, the sightseeing bus took everyone to visit Pingyao Confucian Temple, City God Temple, Escort Agency Museum and other places.

The sightseeing bus stopped at the street corner. Sister Li pointed to the time-honored shops on the street and said, "The Pingyao beef and polished lacquerware here are local specialties. You can browse around, but don't buy anything too expensive. As a student, saving money is important."

Su Xing had eaten Pingyao beef and could never forget it.

They got off the bus and took a look around, but didn't buy anything for the time being. They planned to buy some local specialties before leaving in the evening.

We visited several scenic spots along the way. Everyone was quite satisfied with the service of the driver and Sister Li, especially Sister Li. They all thought that her explanations were good and she was a very down-to-earth person.

But when you get to a certain ticket office attraction, the atmosphere changes.

At first, they thought they had arrived at Rishengchang Bank, but as soon as they got off the car, they felt something was wrong.

Sister Li hurriedly led them to the scenic spot. "Come in, come in. It's almost noon. Let's finish our tour here before the scenic spot closes for lunch."

Is there a lunch break in the scenic area?

Everyone was stunned.

Sister Li urged and pushed everyone to go into the gate, but many people did not see the banknote plaque on the gate clearly.

As soon as they entered the scenic spot, they were surrounded by several staff members wearing Ma Gua.

Sister Li smiled and said to Su Xing and the others, "There are special explanations here, just follow them."

Su Xing and several classmates looked at each other and said nothing.

Those people in Ma Gua brought two or three tourists each and started the "explanation" service.

Su Xing and others discovered the problem after listening for a while. The so-called explanation should actually be called brainwashing to be more accurate.

Not much was explained about the history of the Piaohao. Most of the talk was about their experience stores, where fake gold ingots and silver notes were sold to tourists.

They also say that the meaning is so good and that it can attract wealth.

Some tourists looked unhappy.

There are also some tourists who are either not short of money or really believe in these things, and they actually pay money to buy these gold ingots and silver notes.

Several students had no intention of buying these things, and no matter how hard the salesmen talked, they remained unmoved.

Su Xing has been quietly looking around the yard.

Although she didn't notice the name of the banknote exchange at the door, there was a large plaque hanging on a building in the yard, with the words "Banknote Exchange Cultural Experience Store" clearly written on it.

At this time, Sister Li came over again and said to them with a smile, "There is an underground vault here that is built in the style of a cave dwelling. You can feel the atmosphere of wealth in those days. It is especially worth seeing. You must pay it a visit."

Cheng Xiuning glanced at Sister Li and sneered, "What kind of gold ingots are being sold down there?"

Sister Li smiled a little awkwardly, "Not entirely... The vault is really an old vault..."

At this time, the men in Ma Gua asked them to go downstairs again.

Su Xing and the others exchanged glances and followed him underground.

There is indeed an underground vault here, but you can only see it through the iron grating. There is a thick layer of RMB thrown by tourists underneath, with all kinds of denominations, and nothing else can be seen.

Going further, the space becomes larger, more like an underground themed warehouse, with some staff members handwriting money orders for tourists.

Sister Li came over again and said to Su Xing and the others, "This bill is hard to come by and not expensive. You can buy a few and put them in your wallet or phone case."
