After leaving this village, Zhao Qian was also filled with emotion.

"In the past, I just felt briefly that the people of our great Han Kingdom did support the country's expansion, but until today, after witnessing the enthusiasm of these ordinary people to join the army, my ministers truly understood why the great Han Kingdom could be invincible when expanding abroad, because we have indeed received strong support from the people."

The support of the people is very simple, because the people can gain benefits in the war, so of course they must support it.

It's just such a simple truth that many rulers can't understand.

Or it is not because they don’t understand, but because they ignore these things and they do not take these civilians seriously.

When a ruler makes such a huge mistake of self-righteousness and ignoring the common people, the decline of the country will inevitably come.

But it is very regrettable that, both in ancient and modern times, most rulers are easily bewitched by power and fall into such a vicious circle.

After listening to Zhao Qian's words, Zhao Kuo also smiled and nodded.

This is actually the case when educating children. It may be better to let him witness it once and remember it even more deeply.

Of course, this does not mean that parents do not need to educate their children about the principles. You must first teach them the principles, and then let them witness how these principles work. In the end, they will naturally believe in these principles and become followers of these principles.

Zhao Qian's performance is the best proof now.

Zhao Qian calmed down and found that the carriage had begun to rush towards the Imperial Capital City, so he spoke, "Are we going back to the palace?"

Father.”

Zhao Qian thought that after coming out today to see the textile factory and this small village, it was completely worthwhile to visit this trip.

But what Zhao Qian didn't expect was that today's journey has not ended until here.

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said with a smile: "We won't go back for now. It's still early. Let's go to Dongshi to take a look."

Like Handan City, there are also East and West cities in the Imperial Capital, but there are South and North cities in the Imperial Capital. A total of four markets are enough to prove the city's status as the capital in the Han Dynasty.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Qian nodded subconsciously, and then curiosity emerged in his heart.

The two places that Zhao Kuo walked through today gave Zhao Qian a great surprise. So what new things will Zhao Qian see next in the market in Imperial Capital?

After a while, the carriage slowly came to the east city.

This is a very large market. As big as Zhao Kuo’s impression, the super-large markets in some first-tier cities in later generations can be compared with it.

Compared with this market, it is a so-called big market, which is simply a pediatrician.

Although it was already noon, there were still people coming and going everywhere in this market. It was not said that the abortion would be reduced because it was time to eat.

Zhao Kuo was very clear that generally speaking, such a thing only shows that the prosperity of this place has reached a certain point. According to Zhao Kuo's previous memorials from the following, this east city is basically open 24 hours a day, and it can be said that it is the most prosperous and developed trade market in the Han Dynasty today.

Zhao Qian rarely comes to these places, so he is also quite curious and looking around.

In the past year, Zhao Qian had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing the country, so he had to sit in the palace for a lot of time and could not leave the palace for half a step, which also led to almost no chance of going out for more than a year.

For Zhao Qian, he did not expect that the market here would be so prosperous, but while he was feeling moved, he became more and more curious. Where would his father take him to today?

Zhao Kuo had obviously given instructions in advance, so after entering Dongshi, the carriage finally stopped at the door of a store.

After Zhao Kuo got off the carriage, Zhao Qian naturally hurriedly followed him off, and then looked up and found that it turned out to be a shop selling cloth in front of him.

On the plaque at the door of this store, a few big words were written eye-catching, "The Third Branch of the East City, Dijing City, Dahan Guo Textile Group."

Just as he saw the content of this plaque, Zhao Qian's heart also moved slightly.

Of course, it is not unfamiliar to Dahan Guo Textile Group to find money. In fact, isn’t the textile factory they just went to a part of Dahan Guo Textile Group?

But what surprised Zhao Qian was that judging from the content of this plaque, the Textile Group of Dahan Kingdom has opened at least three stores in the East City alone. Could it be that their business is really so good?

Before Zhao Qian could think about it, Zhao Kuo had already walked directly to the store and attracted the attention of the waiter who was waiting outside the store.

The waiter naturally saw at a glance that Zhao Kuo was definitely not an ordinary person. He immediately walked up very diligently and said to Zhao Kuo: "This noble man, what kind of cloth do you want to buy?"

Our store has everything from the best silk to other ordinary fabrics.”

Zhao Kuo glanced at the waiter and suddenly spoke, "Your store actually puts precious silk and ordinary cloth together to sell it. Wouldn't you worry about being lost by the high-ranking officials who came to buy it?"

As we all know, dignitaries never want to appear on the same occasion as ordinary people. This is the same in any country, and the people of the Han Dynasty are no exception.

After hearing this, the waiter smiled.

"This noble man doesn't know that we are the property of His Majesty the Emperor. According to His Majesty's order, we were originally going to face everyone in the Han Dynasty and open the door to do business.

No matter what kind of dignitaries or ordinary people, they are His Majesty’s people to us, so we are naturally treated equally."

After hearing the waiter's reply from behind, Zhao Qian nodded secretly.

Zhao Qian agrees with this feeling of being neither humble nor arrogant, but being reasonable and well-founded, and what he said is very consistent with Zhao Qian's philosophy.

After hearing the waiter's words, Zhao Kuo looked like he had no expression fluctuations, but walked into the store calmly.

As the waiter said, this cloth shop can be said to be of various types of cloth, which is dazzling, which also proves the strong strength of Dahan Guo Textile Group. After all, nowadays, a large part of the steam engines that can be produced have been bought by Dahan Guo Textile Group.

With the steam engine, it is natural to continue to produce cloth.

The waiter who just spoke, he said to Zhao Kuo very attentively: "Please take a look at this distinguished guest. If you have any favorites, you need a small one. Come over immediately. If you purchase a large amount, we will have more discounts here."

Zhao Qian looked at this scene from the side and thought to himself that it seemed that the service level of this cloth store was very good.

Zhao Kuo chose it from side to side, and then asked the waiter carefully about the various fabrics, their materials and uses, prices, etc.

The waiter also had no impatient expression on his face. He satisfied all the questions raised by Zhao Kuo and answered them one by one.

Half an hour passed by this question and answer.

Zhao Qian stood aside, feeling a little bored, and he was still confused. He really didn't quite understand why his father would chat with a waiter here for so long.

After a while, Zhao Kuo nodded and smiled and said, "Very good, then let's do it. Pack all the clothes I took out just now and I bought them all."

The waiter was stunned after hearing this sentence.

After a few seconds, the waiter couldn't help but ask, "Do you really want to buy all the clothes?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to the waiter: "Why, are you afraid that I can't afford this money?"

The waiter quickly explained: "The customer misunderstood. The little one didn't mean that. The little one just wanted to remind the customer that the one you chose from silk to linen, and the leap here is quite large."

When Zhao Qian heard this aside, he actually understood the meaning of this waiter.

To put it bluntly, it is very simple, because Zhao Kuo bought all the cheapest and most expensive fabrics all at once, which is a very rare thing for any waiter.

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile and said calmly: "Just pack them all."

So, after a moment, the waiter packed all the clothes, Zhao Kuo took them, and then paid happily and left.

Zhao Qian followed Zhao Kuo away, his face and heart were confused, and he had no idea what Zhao Kuo intended to do so.

As if he knew the question in Zhao Qian's mind, Zhao Kuo stopped and waited for Zhao Qian to catch up from behind.

Zhao Qian walked up and walked side by side with Zhao Kuo, and couldn't help but whisper: "What are we going to do?"

Father...father?"

After all, it is in a market where people come and go, so you should be careful.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said to Zhao Qian: "When you just stopped there, did you notice other customers entering the store?"

Zhao Qian was obviously a little surprised by Zhao Kuo's question, but he still said: "There are indeed many customers in this store, but I don't know which one my father is going to talk about."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Every one."

Yes, for Zhao Kuo, the reason why he just stayed in this cloth store for so long was to observe the other customers who entered the store and asked about them, what kind of treatment they were like.

Zhao Qian thought about it carefully, and then said, "In addition to many people who seem to be in charge of the business, there are also some civilians. Generally speaking, these waiters treat everyone equally, and do not say that they discriminate or what they are like because they are civilians."

Zhao Kuo smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, this is what we want to observe."

After saying this, Zhao Kuo continued to walk forward.

In the following time, Zhao Kuo went to the store selling grain, then the store selling salt, and then the store selling iron tools.

Without exception, Zhao Kuo stayed in these stores for a long time, and had a very careful conversation with the waiters and shopkeepers in these stores, and learned about the uses of various products and prices.

Zhao Qian's words naturally followed Zhao Kuo obediently to complete this game, which seemed somewhat boring for him to go shopping.

It was dusk, Zhao Kuo finally took Zhao Qian in a carriage and prepared to leave the market.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Kuo smiled at Zhao Qian who was obviously still confused.

"Actually, the purpose of the market we are here today is very simple, that is, to understand the prices in this market."

Why understand prices?

The answer is also very simple. If the prices in a market are very unstable, it will definitely have a huge impact on the lives of ordinary people.

After all, most ordinary people’s income is definitely not sufficient, so if prices soar or plummet, it will definitely be difficult for them to live.

Judging from the situation where Zhao Kuo chatted with others today, the prices in the Han Dynasty were still in a relatively low state, and there has been no large-scale price increase for a long time.

What does this mean?

This shows that the prices in the imperial capital are generally stable and controllable, and proves that the efforts made by the officials in this regard have been effective.

In addition, Zhao Kuo also chatted with these waiters and other businessmen and could feel that these people actually have a more positive attitude towards life in their hearts. They all hope to make more money through their efforts so that they can live a better life.

“What does this mean?

This shows that the situation in the entire empire, especially among the people, is stable and controllable, and our officials did not lie, including our Nightingale, was not deceived.

As His Majesty the Emperor, you must always come to the people to understand the people's sentiments and see how the people's lives are.

This is the greatest significance of a private visit, and it is also the real highlight of today. If you understand this point, then you can truly become a qualified ruler."

For an emperor, not everything is so magnificent. Sometimes the truth that can truly promote rule is actually hidden in the details, waiting for the emperors to find and break through.

Zhao Kuo happens to be a person who is very good at details.
