Manzhouli, the only city in Eastern Mongolia without a wall, is also the first city cast entirely of cement. Whether in Eastern Mongolia or the entire world, this is an epoch-making city.

Even though Manzhouli has been downgraded to the capital of a province and no longer serves as the ruling center of Eastern Mongolia, the construction and development of the city have never stopped.

The Khan delegation represented by Alahaibeji made a special trip to travel through the place where they started their homes in Eastern Mongolia with the idea of ​​coming here to see them in person.

"Is this Manzhouli? It's so novel!" Yelu Chucai looked at the strange city composed of a large square pillar in front of him, standing suddenly among the blue sky and green grass, and I don't know how to describe it.

This is also an architectural style that exceeds his lifelong understanding and cannot be regarded as aesthetic, which he has never heard of.

There are also windmills as tall as houses standing on both sides of the river. Through the wind blowing, the windmills squeak and constantly sending the water to large areas of cultivated land outside the city where vegetables have been planted.

Some villages that are as large as the town are distributed on both sides of the official road leading to the city. Children wearing narrow-sleeved short clothes and short hair are happily chasing chickens, ducks, cats and dogs in the village. When they hear wild dogs barking, they will also curiously look at the pedestrians passing by on the official road.

Widths of smoke rose from the clay-shaped houses and slowly dissipated among the blue sky and white clouds. When the urging sounds calling for children to go home for dinner, the children who were curiously looking at the convoy immediately dispersed.

At this time, the men working in the vegetable field also carried hoes and walked home. When they noticed that Alahaibeji and their caravan, they enthusiastically asked if they wanted to have a meal in the village.

Brother Yixiang was about to say no, but Alahaibeji asked him to agree. She was not afraid of these villagers being cheated, but she hoped that this would be the case.

Because since she entered the eastern Mongolia territory, she gave her the impression of peace and peace. Whether it was nomadic herders or farmers, almost all smiles on her face. She asked some herders and villagers, and the answers she got were all about the sheep raised at home, how much did the wool and sheepskin cost? The child learned a lot of words when studying in school, or the crops in the field were growing well, the family had a kid, and today she could eat meat again.

Such a simple answer cannot be answered simply, but Alahaibeji saw a deeper question. That is, the lives of these people have improved and they are not hungry anymore. Moreover, everyone does not have the rags she has seen in the Khan Court. Although the clothes of these people are not new, they still look like they can still be called clothes.

This scene made her a little jealous!

Because as the princess of the regent, she thought she had taken care of the Khan Court very well. Without a large-scale rebellion, the taxes collected were getting more and more year by year, but there were always cases of starving people to death.

Looking at Eastern Mongolia, Alahaibeji felt that his understanding of "national peace and stability" was a bit deviant.

At present, the villagers in this village dared to invite them to dinner. If they were like the Khan Court, they were robbed, which means that the peace in Eastern Mongolia was probably just an illusion deliberately created by the government.

Because there were more than 300 people in the convoy, everyone went to various villagers' homes to eat.

Of course, this meal is not for nothing!

When Ahedar Hearing that he wanted to collect money, Alahaibeji thought that the fox had finally revealed his tail. But the village chief, who represented, did not charge much, and each person only collected two copper coins for a meal.

Alahaibeji thought he had heard it wrong and asked the village chief to say it again.

The other party thought Alahaibeji was too expensive, so he took the initiative to reduce the price to one copper and a half per person.

In the end, Alahaibeji asked Brother Yi Xiang to pay the village chief ten gold coins directly, which made the whole village very happy. When serving the dishes, they all served the best in the village.

There are many kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat. There are also some seasonal vegetables, fruits and melons on the table. There are even fruit wine brewed by the village themselves, and they took out several jars for everyone to taste.

Eastern Mongolia also prohibits people from making wine with grain in private, so in order to get to know their craving, villagers can only use fruits to make wine.

When he left, Alahaibeji was still a little disappointed because the villagers' performances showed that what they saw and heard along the way were true! And in such a country, isn't it obvious who the people choose to choose from compared to their own khanate?

Thinking of the large-scale escape slave wave that had been causing a sensation before, she felt even more like a big stone pressing on her chest.

Yelu Chucai was very curious about how the monarch of Eastern Mongolia, Ulutus, changed the remote East Mongolia into a place where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment?

When he came to the nearest city of Manzhouli, Alahaibeji was shocked by the size of his city!

Not only is it large in scale, but the houses are very tall and wide. The city is like other cities in the hinterland of Eastern Mongolia. There are no long queues of inspections in the city, nor are there high entry taxes. Their convoy did not even receive an obstacle and entered Manzhouli City directly along the flat concrete road. Moreover, looking at the houses still being built on both sides of the official road, it is said that if we come again in a year, the city will double again!

As Wang Wentong, who came to Manzhouli for the second time, was surprised in his heart no less than theirs!

When I came my old age, this city without a wall was still full of tents. How come it turned into a cement forest in just one year.

If he says this, even he himself doesn't believe it.

He did not pay attention to the progress of the Ministry of Works. There are cement R&D workshops in Manzhouli. Although many major government departments and workshops have been moved to Shangjing, Manzhouli, as the earliest R&D site, still has some R&D workshops left.

Especially in Manzhouli, in order to protect the privacy of R&D, it did a lot of confidentiality work and measures. These achievements continue to play a role now.

The cement R&D workshop continued to stay in Manzhouli. As it was continuously practiced and applied, the production efficiency of cement was gradually improved. The building was close to the water and the building was the first to enjoy the benefits of mass production of cement.

However, there is another major event in Manzhouli today that attracts the attention of the delegation. That is the first Eastern Mongolia Provincial Examination, which will be held in various provincial governments in the past two days.

Although it can be further divided into county and state exams, considering that there are only a limited number of scholars below, Ulutus directly took the provincial and Beijing exams!

When scholars get to the top 200 in local provinces, they can go to Beijing to refer to it. At that time, the top three in Beijing will stand out from scholars in these local provinces.

Wang Wentong is now the Minister of Rites and is considered a real power figure in the Ministry of Rites. But when he came to Eastern Mongolia, he wanted to participate in the imperial examination in Eastern Mongolia. It was only because of the war that the examination time was delayed again and again.

Unexpectedly, after returning from the Mongolian Khanate, the imperial examination was about to begin.

Seeing that the delegation wanted to stay in Manzhou for a trip, and the war to conquer Dengzhou would still take some time to prepare. Wang Wentong discussed with Alahaibeji whether he could wait for him for a few days to complete the imperial examination.

"Exam?" Alahaibeji heard this and said with some intention: "This Ulutus has learned the Han people's methods perfectly."

At this moment, in order to welcome the arrival of scholars who are taking the exam, almost all inns in the city have signs to attract business. There are famous scholars who are in the hotel. The top scholar's room only costs one gold coin a day. The explanation of the "Scientific Examination Essay" is given away, and the gold list title only costs five silver coins a night, and other words that induce scholars to stay in a hotel.
