My subjects are too rebellious!

Inside the teahouse, several tea drinkers were either whispering to each other or sipping tea leisurely. He found a seat by the window and sat down. His eyes inadvertently swept across the bustling street outside the window and finally fell on the waiter who was busy shuttling around.

"Waiter, bring me a pot of your best tea."

Zhang Rang greeted him softly, while keeping an eye on everything in the store, trying to capture the life atmosphere of the people of Huai'an Prefecture from the subtle details.

The waiter came over upon hearing the noise, with a warm smile on his face, and skillfully made him a pot of hot tea.

"Sir, you have a good eye. This is our teahouse's signature tea. I guarantee it will leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste."

As he spoke, he did not forget to wipe the table with a rag, appearing to be particularly thoughtful.

While waiting for tea, Zhang Rang deliberately found a topic to chat with the waiter.

"Waiter, I see that the streets of Huai'an Prefecture are bustling with people. I guess the people here are living a comfortable life, right?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter smiled even more brightly.

"Sir, you are right. Today, the people of Huai'an Prefecture are indeed living a much better life than before. Do you know why? It's because our canned and dried fish are selling well!"

At this point, a hint of pride flashed in the waiter's eyes.

"You may not know that since the government promoted the canning technology last year, we fishermen have finally found a new way out. In the past, if we couldn't sell the fish we caught, we could only watch them rot. Now, we can make canned and dried fish, and the government will purchase them directly from us, so we don't have to worry about sales anymore."

Zhang Rang nodded secretly when he heard this.

He had long heard that Qin Chuan had personally taught the fishermen how to make canned food. Now it seemed that this policy had indeed brought tangible benefits to the people of Huai'an Prefecture.

He continued to ask: "Then did the government's purchase of these canned and dried fish also help the local people's income?"

"That's natural!"

The waiter slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "After the government purchase, not only did it solve our sales problem, but it also gave us more money to improve our lives. Look at this teahouse and other shops on the street, which one is not thriving because of this new atmosphere? Even my little waiter has a lot of salary increase every month!"

After listening to the waiter's story, Zhang Rang's face was filled with a gratified smile.

He took a sip of the tea in his hand, which had a rich aroma.

"That's great. Seeing everyone's life getting better and better makes me happy too." Zhang Rang said with emotion, his tone full of sincerity.

The waiter was so delighted when he saw this, he couldn't stop smiling, as if he had found a soulmate.

He continued to share: "Yes, now in Huai'an Prefecture, not only the fishing industry is thriving, but other industries are also benefiting from it. You see, those handicrafts, agricultural products, and various snacks are becoming more popular. Everyone's pockets are fatter, and naturally there are more smiles on their faces."

As Zhang Rang listened to the waiter's description, vivid pictures seemed to emerge before his eyes: fishermen returning home with full loads, vendors enthusiastically soliciting customers, people living and working in peace and contentment, and the entire Huai'an Prefecture was filled with a prosperous and harmonious scene.

He couldn't help but secretly admire that His Majesty's decision was really far-sighted and had brought real benefits to the people.

"Thank you, Xiaoer. I have some things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Zhang Rang stood up and prepared to leave the teahouse.

"Take care, sir. Come back often when you have time!"

The waiter saw Zhang Rang off warmly and watched him walk out of the teahouse and disappear into the bustling street.

........

The sea breeze blows gently, carrying the salty fragrance of the sea water, but it is still a little chilly in early spring.

The sea surface sparkles, as if it were covered with countless tiny silver flakes, swaying gently with the rise and fall of the waves, so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

In the distance, a few seagulls were soaring in the sky, sometimes flying low over the sea, and sometimes singing loudly in the sky.

Qin Chuan stood on the beach, gazing into the distance with a deep gaze, a rare look of relaxation and comfort on his face.

He exclaimed softly, "This beautiful scenery is beyond words. I am usually busy with state affairs and rarely have time to come here. Only after seeing it today did I realize that there are such magnificent views in the world."

Long San and Long Si followed closely behind, standing on both sides of the emperor. They were also deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery of the seaside, but they did not forget their duties and remained vigilant at all times.

Long San said softly: "Your Majesty is right. The vastness of the sea is just like your Majesty's heart. Only by embracing hundreds of rivers can you accomplish great things."

Long Si silently observed the surroundings to ensure the emperor's safety. At the same time, he was filled with emotion and thought to himself, "It is a great honor for us to be able to accompany His Majesty and witness such a beautiful scene."

The three of them stood at this quiet and magnificent beach for a long time, as if time had stood still.

Qin Chuan took a deep breath, feeling the freshness and freedom brought by the sea breeze, and secretly felt fortunate that he had come to this era, a pure world that had not yet been disturbed by modern industrial pollution.

Qin Chuan stood on the beach, his eyes attracted not only by the crystal clear sea, but also by the small crabs on the beach.

Isn’t this more ecological than an ecological tank?

The little crab crawled quickly and hid in the fine sand.

Not far away, various kinds of shellfish were scattered on the ground.

What’s even more surprising is that Qin Chuan was lucky enough to witness the appearance of a sea turtle.

An adult sea turtle slowly crawled out of the sea, and its huge body left a series of deep marks on the beach.

Qin Chuan had never seen this big guy in his previous life, but he didn't expect to see it now after traveling through time.

Sure enough, look at the world!

But at the same time, as a time traveler, he naturally knows the importance of protecting the environment.

What's more, now that the island country no longer exists, their behavior of draining water from the sea will naturally not happen again in the future.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan felt a lot more relieved.

........

They strolled along the coastline. The sand under their feet was fine and soft. The sea breeze blew gently, bringing with it a hint of salty fragrance and the freshness of the ocean.

Crabs that hide under rocks, in sandy beach holes, or in mudflats.

These little guys were clever and cunning, but Qin Chuan and Long San and Long Si used their sharp speed to lure them out of their hiding places one by one and capture them.

In addition to crabs, they were also lucky enough to catch a few octopuses.

These octopuses have soft yet powerful bodies, and their tentacles display amazing flexibility as they entwine.

They also found some traces of razor clams.

Relying on his rich experience in watching videos of catching seafood, Qin Chuan easily found the breathing holes of the clams and quickly dug them out.

These clams have delicious meat and are a seafood delicacy.
