Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

It is October again, the harvest season.

Xu Jinyu took Wei An, who finally had some free time, out for a walk.

Ever since the invention of gunpowder, Emperor Xuan had been eager to see what muskets and rifles were like, and Wei An was imprisoned in a secret research laboratory in the Ministry of Works for more than half a year.

Finally, the first step of making the musket was completed, and Wei An could come out and take a breath.

The two of them staggered onto the street, and were then squeezed hard by the surging crowd.

After finally squeezing out of the crowd, Wei Ande's face was blue.

"Why are there so many people?"

The street vendors looked at the two men's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but tease them: "The grain has been harvested, and everyone has some spare money in their hands. Of course, they want to come to the capital to see the world. Now our capital is the center of the world."

As the vendor spoke, there was a proud expression on his face, his eyes rolled up, and he looked at everyone with raised eyes.

The pride of being the Celestial Empire hits me in the face.

Xu Jinyu looked up and saw people of all kinds coming and going on the street. They spoke in different accents, many of which Xu Jinyu could not understand at all.

There was no Mandarin in the ancient world, so naturally there were different accents, and not many people spoke Mandarin.

The vendor seemed to understand what Xu Jinyu meant, and continued to explain to Xu Jinyu: "I heard that many people came from the two countries that the imperial court had just conquered. They all heard that the capital was prosperous, and the Tianji Pavilion of the young master was packed with people. They all came to buy various secret recipes."

The peddler was talking so excitedly that he had no idea that the person in front of him was the little boss he was talking about.

Xu Jinyu also smiled as she watched the people coming and going on the street.

Young boys and girls dressed up beautifully and walked among the crowd, with smiles on their faces that were brighter than the sky.

The little kids were mischievously running around in the crowd, and the adults behind them were so anxious that they shouted, "Don't run around, or you'll be kidnapped by a kidnapper."

The little rascal didn't care about his parents' threats at all and ran even faster.

There were also farmers outside the city who walked barefoot on the cement ground of the capital, walking very fast. When they saw something fashionable, they dared to ask the price. If the price was really not expensive, they would buy it and carefully put it inside their clothes.

There were also patrolling yamen runners who walked slowly among the crowd, and when they saw hooligans on the street, they would go up and beat them up without any hesitation.

Wei An couldn't help but sigh: "What a prosperous scene~~"

Xu Jinyu turned around and looked at Wei An: "Yes, it is indeed a prosperous era, and you have contributed to this prosperity."

Xu Jinyu pointed at the cement floor and said, "You built this."

Wei An: "The cement formula you provided."

"That also requires our emperor to be broad-minded!"

Xu Jinyu said this without any concealment.

Over the years, he had produced so many good things, but the emperor and the prince never asked where these things came from.

There has never been a blind person rushing in front of him, and Xu Jinyu gradually understood.

I am being secretly protected by someone.

After all, I have never seen a real struggle for interests, but I have read some cool stories about being slapped in the face.

As a powerless woman, it is really abnormal that she has so many secret recipes in her hands but no one comes to her.

"Yes, if we weren't broad-minded, we would have been buried in the pit long ago." Wei An sighed.

Emperor Xuan was truly broad-minded. He was so angry with Xu Jinyu that he jumped up and down all day long. He was scolded by Xu Jinyu every now and then, and he never got around to punishing Xu Jinyu.

As the emperor, the highest level person in feudal society, how can he be said to be broad-minded?

The two people had completely different ideas, but both talked about Emperor Xuan's broad-mindedness.

Seeing the bustling crowds on the street, Xu Jinyu really didn't want to squeeze in.

"Or, let's go home." Xu Jinyu suggested.

"No, I've been locked up in the house for more than half a year. Now I'm scared of the sight of the house. I want to go out for a walk."

“But I really don’t want to squeeze in~~~”

“It’s healthier to squeeze.”

"No, you'll be squeezed like prunes."

The two of them were talking to each other, one didn't want to squeeze in, and the other didn't want to go home.

The vendor next to him was anxious.

"My two young masters, you look like you are from a wealthy family. Do you know how wealthy people go out nowadays?"

Xu Jinyu was obviously a woman dressed as a man, but the vendor still called her "young master". This was the current custom in the capital, and girls usually dressed in men's clothes for convenience.

Girls like this were either trying to make a living or studying to prepare for becoming officials in the future. All the people in the capital city would call a girl dressed as a man "young master".

"How do you get out?"

Xu Jinyu was also curious.

The vendor pointed to the street and said, "Look, that's the style of a rich family going out."

The two looked up and saw a carriage coming from the other end of the street. There were people leading the way in front of the carriage, and people pulling up the rear. There were also people beside the carriage pushing the crowded crowd so that they would not squeeze into the carriage.

Xu Jinyu and Wei An looked at each other.

"Why do I feel like I owe you something?"

"This way you really won't be afraid of being beaten!"

They both shook their heads, refusing this way of traveling.

"How about we go for a walk outside the city?"

"it is good!"

Once we got outside the city, the number of people suddenly decreased.

Xu Jinyu and Wei An walked along the official road outside the city. The official road outside the capital was also a cement road and was exceptionally clean.

It’s not that there is someone who cleans the road specifically, but the people passing by simply cherish the smooth land of the official road.

When the people saw clods of earth, stones, and animal feces, they cleaned them up directly.

The sky is blue and the autumn breeze is refreshing. This kind of weather is really suitable for going out for a walk.

The two of them were talking about irrelevant things and walking slowly in the autumn breeze.

Suddenly, a chattering sound was heard.

Xu Jinyu tilted his head. Why did this voice sound familiar?

Wei An: "Fuck! English!"

English, no wonder it sounds so familiar.

Xu Jinyu also reacted now. No wonder it sounded so familiar.

"I say this world is too imprecise. Even English has been made up." Wei An couldn't help but complain.

"Maybe one day Third Brother will figure it out for you."

Xu Jinyu followed suit and complained, looking in the direction where the sound came from.

It turned out to be a prisoner van, and on it were a group of people whose hair color was completely different from that of the Daqian people.

The clothes these people were wearing were pretty good, but they had shackles around their necks and shackles on their feet, which made them look very miserable.

These people were not talking to the escorting officers and soldiers, but were quarreling among themselves.

"You idiot, didn't I tell you to first see if this Golden Country is easy to rob? If they are weak, we will rob them. If they are strong, we will trade with them. You, a bastard who only cares about women, actually pulled out a knife!"

"It's not my fault. Didn't James say in his travel notes that the girls in this country are very beautiful and very easy to deceive?"

"It's true that they deceived us all into the hands of the nobles of the Golden Kingdom. We might be the gifts presented to the nobles now. I am a viscount after all, but now I am being presented as a gift. If my brother knew what happened to me, he would definitely laugh his teeth off."

The person being scolded didn't care at all: "It doesn't matter, as long as we make it clear when we meet that nobleman."

"Bullshit!" The viscount almost jumped up.

"Can you speak this Daqian language?"

"No!" This answer was so confident that the viscount was so angry that he jumped up.

"Bang!"

The man who was speaking was kicked. He got up and started fighting with the person who kicked him.

The escorting officers knocked impatiently on the railing of the prisoner van.

"Stop fighting! If you continue to fight, I'll send you to heaven."

Hearing the warning from the officers and soldiers, the people in the prison car replied in poor Daqian Mandarin: "They are just joking, not fighting."

The soldier rolled his eyes and complained to the soldiers around him: "I don't know where they came from. Their hair is red. They are either chattering or fighting all day long. They really look like the natives mentioned above."
