Chapter 80: Where to Advance

Tian Jingye and Chen Wenqi came together to attend the Four-City Conference, which was held in Qingchun City this time. Speaking of which, they haven't been to Qingchun City for almost a year. The last time it was Qingchun City's turn to hold a meeting, it was the Bai family brothers who came with Duan Huaiyu. After coming back, the two of them spared no effort to admire. At that time, Tian Jingye and Chen Wenqi wanted to come to Qingchun City to have a look, but building a city was really complicated, and the two of them were busy in Tongren City every day, where did they have time to come out. It just so happened that this time the meeting of the city lords of the four cities was held in Qingchun City, and the two of them left the Bai family brothers and Duan Huaiyu to watch the family in Tongren City, and they came by boat.

As soon as the ship docked, Tian Jingye found it, and he said to Chen Wenqi: "Brother Wenqi, have you seen it, the wharf in Qingchun City is better managed than ours." There were more ships coming and going than ours, but they were not chaotic at all, and they were all in order. ”

Chen Wenqi nodded and said, "After the meeting, let's go talk to Sister Wen Hui, communicate with you who manage the dock, and learn some experience." ”

Tian Jingye nodded and said, "Hey, look, it's Cousin Wenlin who came to pick us up." I knew that Sister Wen Hui wouldn't come to pick us up. ”

Chen Wenqi said: "In terms of identity, she is the governor of Nanyang and controls us. In terms of family affection, she is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet in our family, and those of us who are brothers have to let her, you say, where is she going to pick us up. Brother Wenlin still has a good character and knows how to pick us up, so that our face will not fall to the ground. ”

Tian Jingye laughed.

After Chen Wenlin received Tian Jingye's two elder brothers, he exchanged pleasantries, and then, the three of them rode horses together and walked slowly towards the city. Enjoy the view of the roadside as you walk. While chatting. The three of them looked at it for a while and felt that there were too many people on the road. However, although there were many people, horses, and carriages on the road, the road was wide and divided into two lines, left and right. Pedestrians are on the right. And. It is also divided into non-aways. Horse tracks, horseback riding tracks. The horseback riding trail is thoughtfully paved with lime and mud compacted dirt roads. The sidewalks of horse-drawn carriages and passers-by are all bluestone avenues of water. Smooth and neat and clean.

Tian Jingye couldn't help but secretly admire, why didn't he think of it? How nice it is to walk after widening the road in this way. And, you see. In the middle of the pedestrians, there is a wide stone pavement. There were a lot of people carrying burdens on the road, driving the slow ox carts. The carriage lane was on the far left, and the carriages were speeding in an orderly manner, because there was not a single pedestrian on the carriageway. Moreover, the road is also smooth, and the speed of the carriage can be very fast. Completely and yourself hit the horse galloping at a speed. Then there's the horseback riding road, which is not muddy at all. On the contrary, it is very strong, but after all, it is a dirt road, and it will not hurt the horse's hooves like the bluestone road.

Tian Jingye couldn't help but say to Chen Wenlin: "This road in Qingchun City is really cleverly designed, so that we don't interfere with each other, and everyone's speed is faster." ”

Chen Wenlin said with a smile: "No, I also have her clever road design, I have decided to go back and change the road in Tianshui City, it will become like this, although the investment is more, but the speed of pedestrians is indeed faster." As soon as this speed is fast, there will be more business, more money, and more taxes, and I will still calculate this account. ”

Tian Jingye couldn't help but nodded.

Soon arrived at the gate of Qingchun City. Tian Jingye made another discovery, he hadn't spoken yet, and Chen Wenqi had already asked in disbelief: "Why is it that although the gate of Qingchun City is guarded by guards, there is no identity of the passerby?" Didn't charge a city entrance fee either? ”

Chen Wenlin smiled and said, "This is also the case in my Tianshui City. Have you forgotten? When we were in Shin Kong City, it was the same? ”

As soon as he said this, Tian Jingye remembered and said: "At the beginning, we entered the city as VIPs in Xinguang City, of course, there was no need to check, and there was no need to enter the city. When we went to Tianshui City, you were hospitable, you went to the dock to pick us up early in the morning, where did we use the inventory, and used the entrance fee. But when I came to Qingchun City, well, hehe, I didn't treat it as a VIP, so I found out. ”

Chen Wenlin couldn't help laughing: "There is no way, the women of our family, when they are not out of the cabinet, their status is higher, and their temperament is arrogant, plus Wen Hui is a girl's family, smaller than us, naturally coquettish in front of us, where will she welcome us?" ”

Tian Jingye also smiled and said: "We don't mean to blame our sister, we who are elder brothers should let our sister go." It's just that I wonder why Qingchun City is unguarded against people who come and go? What if this infiltrates the enemy? ”

Chen Wenlin said: "This is still when Wen Hui and my eldest brother Chen Wenjun went to the Black Iron City of the Black Family. At that time, their Xinguang City had just been built, and they went to visit the Black Family of the Land Head Snake, and after a few days and nights, they finally arrived at the Black Iron City of the Black Family at night. Under the darkness, only the Black Iron City was shining with lights, very beautiful, the two of them were very shocked, only to find that the Black Iron City is a city that never sleeps, there is no curfew at night, the city gate is not closed, on the contrary, the city gate is still lit with street lights. This kind of strong self-confidence shocked the two of them at once, so much so that later, they have always been respectful to the Hei family. ”

After Tian Jingye and Chen Wenqi listened, they could also imagine the scene at that time, under the dark night sky, a confident, undefended huge city that never sleeps, which can indeed give people the greatest shock.

Tian Jingye asked: "But why don't you charge the city gate fee?" We collect it in every city in Dachu? ”

Chen Wenlin said: "People don't accept it. My eldest brother and younger sister both said that we can't even compare with the people of the Hei family, and this little money is still in our eyes, so we didn't charge the city gate fee. Who knew that after the implementation of this regulation, the flow of people in Xinguang City, my Tianshui City, and Qingchun City increased significantly. The more business this person has, the more taxes he will pay, but in fact, we don't lose money. ”

Tian Jingye was thoughtful.

While speaking, the horse did not stop, has arrived at the most prosperous street in Qingchun City, sure enough, it is rubbing shoulders, the flow of people is very large, the market is very prosperous, I don't know how many times more prosperous than Tongren City. Tian Jingye and Chen Wenqi couldn't help but glance at each other.

After traveling for a while, he finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. The city lord's mansion had already been greeted by a housekeeper and arranged a place for them to live. At this time, Tian Jingye discovered that the City Lord's Mansion was really magnificent, gorgeous, and beautiful.

Tian Jingye couldn't help asking: "Wen Lin, this Wen Hui can govern the city for anything, but now is the grass stage, just build such a luxurious city lord's mansion, okay?" ”

Chen Wenlin said: "What's this, Wen Hui is originally a girl, but she is a little extravagant, and no one says it." Besides, this city lord's mansion was built by Wen Hui at her own expense, and she did not use the money for the construction of Qingchun City. Hehe, you also know, our sister, but the emperor said that the richest girl in Dachu, what is it to spend some money to build a better house for herself. ”

Tian Jingye and Chen Wenqi thought about it, not to mention Luzon Island in this wild land, they themselves are the emperor of the soil, even in Dachu, the girl's family is more luxurious, and no one said it. In fact, it is just that these children of these families are extravagant, and no one said. What's more, Chen Wenhui is really rich, and he doesn't use the money from the construction of Qingchun City, but pays for the construction of a beautiful house by himself, is there anything wrong with this? I can only envy her wealth.

Chen Wenlin continued: "Besides, the construction of this house costs a lot of money, designed by the masters of the Hei family, and the Hei family has made a lot of money, these masters are more willing to come to Qingchun City to work, and we can't invite them." And those craftsmen and businessmen also made a lot of money, and when they got rich, they could buy more houses, buy more land, buy more things, the market was prosperous, the natural taxes were high, and Wen Hui also made money. ”

Tian Jingye now understands this truth, and he nodded and said, "In this way, Sister Wen Hui is harmless in building this mansion." However, we can't learn even if we want to, where do we have so much money privately? ”

Chen Wenlin nodded, but the corners of his mouth were not curled.

Chen Wenqi frowned, always felt that Chen Wenlin's demeanor was different, thought for a while, and suddenly remembered and said, "Wenlin, are you going back to Dachu?" You are a marriage, when are you going to leave, what should you do if you leave Tianshui City? ”

Chen Wenlin said: "I will be ready to leave in a few days, and I will leave for Dachu within half a month." Getting married is a cumbersome matter, and you are all from the past and know it deeply. However, you don't have to worry about my Tianshui City, these days, the reason why I came to Qingchun City in advance is to grind Sister Wenhui, and now she has promised to help me take care of Tianshui City for half a year. After the four-city meeting is over, they will follow me to Tianshui City. ”

Tian Jingye couldn't help but say: "Sister Wen Hui is really capable and hardworking, you kid is really lucky, why is she such a smart and capable sister?" ”

Chen Wenqi looked at Chen Wenlin's excited and excited appearance, and the conjecture in his heart was even more certain, and he asked: "Wen Hui went to show you Tianshui City this time, and it will be half a year for her to help you build a beautiful mansion like her City Lord's Mansion." When you come back, you will be able to live in a new house with your brother and daughter-in-law. ”

Chen Wenlin was defenseless, and said casually: "Is this easy?" It took me a long time to get Wen Hui to agree, not only to take care of Tianshui City for me, but also to pay for me to build a beautiful city lord's mansion. ”

Chen Wenqi smiled silently, Tian Jingye gasped and said: "You kid is really shameless, how can you let the girl who has not come out of the cabinet pay for you to build a house?" ”

Chen Wenlin realized that he had missed his mouth again, and he couldn't help but want to give himself a big-eared melon seed. (To be continued)
