Chapter 255 Excited
People in the palace know what happened when the golden dragon descended from the sky, but people outside don’t.
Therefore, everyone who sees the golden dragon, whether they are high-ranking officials or nobles, ordinary people, students who have read poetry and books, or uncultured peasants, will have almost the same first reaction.
I was so shocked that I lost my mind and was stunned.
After they calmed down, they couldn't help but kneel on the ground, kowtowing to the golden dragon with excitement, piety, awe, and even fear, praying for its protection.
For a time, the streets, alleys, and deep mansions were full of figures kneeling down and praying.
However, there are also those who are knowledgeable, wise and in high positions. When they see the golden dragon, they immediately associate it with the Queen.
For example, Yang Shoufu did not enter the palace today and did not know the truth, so when he saw the golden dragon, his first reaction was naturally extreme shock, and then he became excited.
The golden dragon descending from the sky is so auspicious!
Throughout the history books, the auspiciousness recorded in them did not include a golden dragon, at most it was an auspicious cloud or a white deer.
The emperor is known as the True Dragon Emperor. What does this mean? The emperor is a wise king who can rule the world, otherwise the golden dragon would not be allowed to appear.
Yang Shoufu is already frantically scrambling for manuscripts in his mind. How can he use this wave of auspiciousness to guide the world's public opinion?
However, as he was thinking about it, suddenly an idea flashed through him, and Yang Shoufu thought of the spaceship the Empress mentioned yesterday.
Is this, is this a spaceship?!
This realization made Yang Shoufu gasp even more than the appearance of the golden dragon.
When the god-like power is controlled by humans, the feeling is actually more terrifying, more awe-inspiring and frightening.
"Hurry, prepare the car quickly, I want to enter the palace!" Yang Shoufu shouted.
At the same time, other ministers also came out of the government offices and rushed to the palace, because the golden dragon was above the palace.
However, before many people arrived at the palace, they were informed of the truth by the imperial troops pouring out of the palace.
The Golden Dragon is a spaceship that the Queen bought from merchants from outside the world.
As long as they can afford a ticket of one thousand taels each, everyone can take the spaceship. In an hour, the spaceship will take off and go to Dongyang County to quell chaos and provide disaster relief.
If you want to take a boat, hurry up, we won’t wait until late.
It's best to donate some money, food, and clothing, and take them to the refugees, so that they can get the qualifications to take the boat in the future.
Because the imperial court is currently fighting wars and requires silver for disaster relief, it charges high fares, and all proceeds from the fares will be used for disaster relief and resettlement of refugees.
Common people, as long as they have skills or are highly respected, can obtain the qualification to ride on the ship without any need for silver.
To register, go to the county government office to register and queue up.
…………
This announcement, through the mouths of the Forbidden Army and the posted notices, was quickly known to the dignitaries and ordinary people in the capital.
The reaction of the dignitaries was,
"The Golden Dragon is a spaceship?! You can sit on it and fly in the sky! The ticket only costs one thousand taels!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and sign up! We will be among the first batch of people to take the boat, and we can brag to everyone when we come back!"
"Ugh...Mom, please buy a boat ticket for your son. My son swears that he will never go to a brothel in the future! My son doesn't want to sleep with women anymore, he wants to go to heaven!"
"How can the Golden Dragon be a spaceship? I won't go there. What if I get thrown off?"
"Old lady, I heard that the Queen Mother is also going to take the spaceship. The Queen is also here. Don't be afraid. The spaceship is very stable. My daughter-in-law will ask me to buy a few more tickets and our whole family will go."
/p>
…………
The dignitaries have never enjoyed anything before, but this spaceship has never been seen before.
This is completely beyond their imagination, but if such an opportunity is presented to them, they will not be afraid.
The pursuit of adventure and excitement is one of human instincts.
For ordinary people, the last article of the notice also gives them hope.
Those who have special skills or are highly respected are also qualified to board the spaceship!
Great!
The Queen has not forgotten these poor people.
All of a sudden, the crowd surged, all heading towards the palace.
Gu Xi had already anticipated this and assigned enough Imperial Guards to maintain order and guide everyone aboard the spacecraft.
Out of reverence for the imperial power and the Golden Dragon Spaceship, although everyone was excited and excited, order was very good, with no one making any noise or disrupting the queue.
Regardless of their official status, they all lined up in an orderly manner and boarded the spacecraft carrying packages of various sizes.
This scene is more like a large-scale relocation, rather than an effort to quell chaos and provide disaster relief.
"Xi'er, you are going to quell chaos and provide disaster relief. Will bringing these people with you won't cause chaos?" the Queen Mother asked Gu Xi who was standing aside with some worry.
The two of them are already on the spacecraft, and in the control center of the spacecraft, they can clearly see the situation outside through the spacecraft's monitoring system.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I won't let these people get off the spaceship easily." Gu Xi said with a smile,
"Most of them are officials. Taking them there will also allow them to see the suffering of the people with their own eyes, which may inspire their desire to benefit the people."
Of course, the most important thing right now is to make money.
In the situation of Qin State, no amount of money is enough to make up for it.
Especially those wealthy and powerful families who occupied the fields and had ugly food and looks. She asked them to spit out half of their money and grain, but they still gave it willingly.
"Xi'er has always done things in a measured way. Whatever you say will be whatever you say." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
After understanding Gu Xi's methods, she was extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law, and of course she was in awe.
More than an hour later, Gu Xi announced that the spacecraft was shutting down and preparing to take off.
Those who couldn't get on the boat because they were late jumped on the spot in despair, blaming each other for holding back those around them.
Those who boarded the ship were shocked by the facilities on the ship. Everything they saw was strange and shocked. Of course, they were also filled with deep confusion and awe.
Amidst the cries of exclamation, the spacecraft finally took off.
The huge golden dragon gradually rose into the air as the people below looked up at it, then accelerated, and then quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"It's gone now? So fast!"
"What do you think it feels like to sit on it?"
"How do I know! Wow...it's just a few people away, and I'll go up!"
……
When the spacecraft flew away, the people below felt even more uncomfortable. Some people shed tears of envy and longing, and clenched their fists at the same time.
You must go up next time!
And everyone on the spaceship...
Is this what it feels like to fly in the sky?!
I don’t seem to feel anything. It’s very smooth. Except for some discomfort in my ears, it’s not bumpy at all. I don’t know how much more comfortable it is than riding a horse in a carriage.
Look down.
Ouch, so high!
Dizzy!
For those who are afraid of heights, their faces turned pale and their legs became weak just because of this look.
Those who are not afraid of heights will be filled with pride when looking at the mountains and rivers below!
Chapter completed!
