The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Zixuan returned to his study and thought about what to do tomorrow.

He took out a notebook and started writing things down quickly.

The next morning at court, the ministers heard that the Japanese who had killed and stolen things at the East China Power Plant had all been eliminated.

They were all very happy, and at the same time, they respected and admired Zixuan even more.

Zixuan took out the notebook from his arms and quickly browsed through it.

He said to his ministers, "My dear ministers, I have a few more announcements to make today."

"The first thing is to change the lunar calendar. Starting from the Spring Festival, each year will be divided into twelve months, each month will be divided into four weeks, and each week will be seven days long."

"The second thing is to change the twelve hours a day to twenty-four hours, with each hour lasting sixty seconds."

"The third thing is to add a few more holidays each year, including the 15-day Spring Festival holiday, which runs from the first to the fifteenth day of the lunar month."

"The second holiday is Qingming Festival, which is a three-day holiday."

"The third holiday is the City Festival, which runs from the first to the tenth day of October every year, with a ten-day holiday."

"Plus, there are two days off every week of every month."

"Notify the relevant departments below and arrange their work in a reasonable manner."

"My king, how can we know the amount of time?"

A minister came out of class and asked.

"There are clocks and watches for sale in the watch shop on Guicheng Commercial Street. You can buy them there."

"Also, if you don't know how to use a clock, you can ask the service staff assigned to you."

"I hope you can learn how to read time as soon as possible. Only by learning how to use time can you be more useful in your future work."

"One more thing. I have reserved some shops in the commercial street for you, my dear ministers. They are available for your use on a lease basis."

"There's no limit to the period of use, and you'll pay the monthly rent yourself. Would you be willing to rent it?"

When the ministers heard this, they almost jumped for joy. It was a shop in the commercial street.

Those stores all belong to the imperial court, and you can’t rent them no matter how much money you spend.

I didn't expect that the king would actually reserve them all for them. Oh my king, you are so kind to your subjects.

Immediately, all the ministers knelt on the ground and expressed their gratitude profusely.

Zixuan looked at his beloved ministers and waved his hand: "Please stand up. I will now announce the arrangements for the store."

"First-rank officials each have three shops, second- and third-rank officials each have two, and fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-rank officials each have one."

"Are you satisfied with my arrangements, my dear ministers?"

"I am very satisfied. Thank you very much, Your Majesty. Even if I die a thousand times, I will never be able to repay your kindness to me."

Then the ministers kowtowed and expressed their gratitude again.

After everyone finished thanking him, Zixuan called out Qi Ba, the governor of the Ministry of Culture.

"Qi Zhengshi, I order you to open all the entertainment cities and food courts in the commercial street before the Spring Festival."

"Now, tell me what entertainment options are available in the entertainment city."

"Here, my lord, the entertainment city has the following projects."

"One is a cinema, two is a folk art and talk show hall, three is a song and dance hall, four is a drama theater, and five is a gym."

"Sixth is the beauty parlor, seventh is the swimming parlor, eighth is the gambling parlor, ninth is the women's official parlor, and tenth is the men's official parlor."

Oh, Zixuan remembered again that she had discussed this matter with the machine boss Qijiu.

Thinking of this, she asked Qi Ba again: "Has the snack street been planned?"

“The planning has been completed and some of the shops are already open for business.

"Well," Zixuan nodded with satisfaction.

Time flies, and it is New Year’s Eve of the Spring Festival in a blink of an eye.

At the morning court session, everyone reported on their work and Zixuan gave instructions one by one.

Before the court was dismissed, she said to her ministers, "My dear ministers, you can celebrate the New Year at home tonight."

"Tomorrow evening, I will host a banquet in the palace to celebrate the New Year with all the nobles."

"You can bring your families into the palace and celebrate with me, the queen."

"Yes, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

"After lunch, you can have your day off. You don't have to work in the afternoon. Get ready to go home for the New Year."

In the evening, Queen Zixuan and her concubines had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner together.

During the banquet, the Queen whispered to Zixuan, "Xuan'er, you will be nineteen years old next year."

"Now that Fugui City is stable, it's time for you to find a wife."

"At tomorrow's dinner, please pay attention to the young masters from various mansions and see if there is anyone you like."

"If there is, let's decide it immediately."

When Zixuan heard this, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment: "This...Mother, that...Xuan'er is still young, there's no need to rush."

"You're still young. Ordinary families with daughters your age already have children running around everywhere."

"No, this time, the Queen Mother can't give in to your temper. At tomorrow's dinner, the Queen Mother will personally choose for you!"

Zixuan shook his head helplessly: "Mother, then, it's up to you."

On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the ministers all came to the imperial kitchen early.

When they heard that the queen was going to choose a son-in-law for the king today, they all put their minds to it.

He brought all of his best unmarried children and grandchildren of marriageable age.

It would be a great honor for them if they could become relatives of the king.

As a result, there were hundreds of men and women who came to the imperial kitchen to attend the dinner.

After meeting each other, everyone greets each other and exchanges greetings with great respect.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zixuan was wearing daughter's clothes and her pretty little face was slightly decorated.

He and the queen, surrounded by the concubines, slowly came to the imperial kitchen.

Everyone was chatting happily, but when they heard the eunuch shouting that the king had arrived, they all stopped talking.

They all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to you. We wish you a prosperous new year and everlasting prosperity!"

Zixuan smiled and raised his hand: "My dear ministers, please stand up. I also wish you all a happy new year and all the best!"

After Zixuan sat down, everyone stood up and found their own seats and sat down.

Zixuan glanced at everyone and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a very familiar face in the crowd.

She immediately fixed her gaze and looked carefully. This... this... can't be.

How come he looks exactly like her husband from her previous life? Could it be that he also traveled through time?

Thinking of this, Zixuan was pleasantly surprised.

The young man at this moment was also staring at her with his eyes wide open.

When the two looked into each other's eyes, Zixuan's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It really is him. He is the little puppy in my previous life.

As the two of them stared at each other, the queen immediately noticed her daughter's expression.

I followed her gaze and saw what a handsome young man he was.

The queen coughed lightly, tugged at her daughter's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Xuan'er, are you attracted to that young master?"

Zixuan came to her senses when she heard her mother calling her.

He also whispered to the queen, "Mother, you can find out. Ask him which family he belongs to."

"Okay," the queen agreed, and then she waved to the young man, "Young master, I wonder which family you are from?"

Before the young master could reply, Prime Minister Bo Qu immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, this is my grandson, Bo Yuan."
