Chapter 1701 1702 A national emblem
Shireen was walking on the street and could clearly feel that the state of Rewind Port had changed. She didn't know where the problem was, but she just felt that it seemed to be on a different path.
There are more and more cars on the streets, and there are fewer human soldiers. On the contrary, there are more and more human beings without weapons. Shopping malls have reopened, and every store is decorated with lights.
I don’t know why, but the business of all the small traders has improved. The soldiers of the Tang Army who came back from the front line to rest are very rich. They are also willing to spend money, respect the local people, and do not bully or exploit the local civilians at all.
Sometimes the other party will also give some tips. They give candies to the children who shine shoes, and soap to the girls in the laundromat. They are as generous as a group of tourists here on vacation.
The ships that newly arrived at Rewind Port not only transported a large amount of materials, but also hundreds of civilian cars and countless engineering vehicles.
These things are changing Rewind Port and making everything better. I heard from Charlie that the Tang Dynasty had acquired several sets of large-scale power generation equipment, which provided sufficient power for the entire Rewind Port.
There has never been so much electricity here, so now government departments have begun replacing their own lighting, replacing incandescent lamps with something called fluorescent lamps.
As the power system is strengthened, wires have to be replaced, so new poles have been erected on many streets, and the ground has begun to be excavated in some places, making everything dirty, but it makes the whole city feel more beautiful. Energetic.
"Madam! Come and see our vegetables! They have just been brought into the city. They are fresh and delicious! Go back and cook them. They taste very good." Seeing Shirin passing by, the owner of the roadside vegetable shop said enthusiastically call.
His business has been very good recently, because many people worked in the Tang Empire and received salaries, so their spending power has also increased. After he had the courage to open his business, he did make a lot of money.
To his surprise, the city defense troops who collected taxes in the past never came again. The street police from the Tang Empire often passed by, but they never asked him for any fees.
Before, he was cautiously accompanying Smiley Face, preparing to hand some money to the elves in uniforms, but the other party was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he didn't even dare to enter the door next time he passed by.
There is no way, the superiors of the Tang State have given these patrol officers a good salary, but if someone is found to have violated the laws of the Tang Empire, they will be dealt with according to the wartime regulations - corruption and disobedience to His Majesty's will are two completely different things. When dealing with the results, even a fool knows that it is best not to challenge the bottom line of the Imperial Military Police at this time.
Later on, more and more shops opened, the city began to become prosperous again, and the advertising signs that had not been lit for a long time flashed again in the streets and alleys. Everyone knew that a new life had begun.
"Not bad, such fresh vegetables, sent from outside the city?" Shilin stopped and turned over the vegetable leaves on the table. In fact, these vegetable leaves are not particularly fresh, but at this time, you can see It’s already very difficult to make vegetables like this. "You are really discerning. Most of the farmland outside has been destroyed, and the yield is pitiful. It is not easy to find products like this. Buy some back. There may not be any tomorrow." The boss is very good at talking, and tells how his vegetable leaves are He talked about how hard it was to get into the city.
But Xilin often buys vegetables in the past two days. Of course she knows that the freight ships of the Tang Empire have transported potatoes and sweet potatoes and other easily preserved vegetables. There are even cold chain ships that can transport green vegetable leaves. The goods in the hands of this vendor Maybe it was obtained from the port and not something produced locally outside the city at all.
So she put down the dishes in her hand, smiled and prepared to leave. Knowing that he had met an expert, the boss quickly lowered his voice and gave Shirin a price that sounded very attractive: "7 silver coins! How about this price?"
"From the port?" Shilin was also planning to buy something back. She was not short of money. Fran's family gave her some money and asked her to be responsible for buying vegetables and cooking: "Those Tang people are very powerful. They can even bring vegetables from the sea." Ship it over there.”
"It's more than awesome. Let me tell you, it's really peaceful outside the city. Those Tang troops have fought dozens of kilometers away. I went to several villages outside to find vegetable farmers, but I couldn't hear the sound of cannons. The boss sighed and said, "It seems that this place will be their territory from now on... Let's not call them Tang Ren Tang Ren."
In fact, when he said this sentence, he was looking forward to getting a positive feedback from the listener. He hoped that the other party would agree with his statement, because he felt that he was a Tang man a few days ago.
When the police patrolling the streets were free of charge, when the soldiers carrying guns bought things and gave them money, when the noble men were hung on the chandeliers, when he secretly received seven or eight dollars from several food ration points. When the Tang army hadn't caught him with a piece of food, he felt that he should be a Tang person.
He had never seen a victorious army give food to the locals, so when he counted the money he earned these past few nights and looked at the relief bread on the table, he had already decided in his heart that the Yangmu Empire should be Can't come back.
"..." Without saying a word, Shirin also knew that she should change her name: Charlie, whom she almost regarded as half a son, was already working for the Tang Dynasty, and she really shouldn't be called Tangren Tangren anymore. But she was still not used to everything, and she had no concept of the Tang Empire at all.
After paying and getting the food, Shirin walked back to the building where she was. When passing by the bombed telegraph office, she saw that the workers who were repairing the building were already removing the scaffolding on the outer wall. .
The new building looks quite beautiful. There is a relief sculpture of the national emblem of the Tang Dynasty on it. This thing seems to have been shipped from the other side of the sea and was directly mounted on it, which is convenient and quick. However, although it is very convenient, it can only last for a few years at most. After a few years, it will be damaged and peeled off by wind and sun.
But what the new mayor of Refeng Port from the Tang Empire wants is these few years. He wants to make the people here feel they belong as quickly as possible. This is the territory of the Tang Empire, and everything here belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. s things!
After a few years, the national emblem has been hanging on everyone's heart, so it will not be a problem no matter how the national emblem on these buildings is peeled off and damaged. At that time, all one had to do was find the best craftsmen and carve one out of marble.
"The weather is really getting colder." Shilin withdrew her gaze and continued walking towards her home.
