Weizhou is not big.

Li Kou walked from the river bank and calculated in his heart, and he arrived at the West Gate only three or five miles to the west.

In his opinion, it is just the modern distance from Shuiqiaogou to the west gate.

This is the size of most of Weizhou City, but this is only the inner city.

Li Kou knows that the city is two different meanings, the city is the inner city, Guo is the outer city, between the inner city and the outer city, that is, the place where the ancient city population gathered, he remembered that there was a poem that said, what is called "Li Bai Peach Red City Guo", is a sentence in the Tang Dynasty Yang Shi's palate "Mountain Pavilion Wendi", this is still the hometown to vigorously develop tourism resources, it is said that Mr. Prefect stood on the top of the mountain and said a sentence at the foot of his fingers, that sentence came out, the hometown is full of peaches and plums, one is to bring a lot of income to the villagers, and the second is to the hometown peach and plum fragrance is beautiful, Li Kou really liked it tightly, so he remembered the prefect who was good at memorizing poems.

In addition, Li Taibai also has a sentence "Jin Anzhao Chengguo", because Li Kou remembers the difference between the city and Guo.

It's just that he didn't know that Weizhou, a small city on the edge, also had a huge inner city, where officials and eunuchs lived in yamen, shops and many rich and noble families, and Guo Gong guarded Weizhou City outside.

If Guo is counted, the periphery of Weizhou is only afraid that it will go to the triangle city in the east and the north gate slope in the west, which is not a small city.

Li Kou thought in his heart, greedily observing Weizhou in this era, but unexpectedly outside the West Gate City Gate, he saw a group of errand servants living at a table with a big word "tax" beside him, he didn't recognize what kind of dress it was, only looked at the gray-blue background, embroidered a circle of red outfits outside, some with knives and some holding sticks, all trembling in front of the brazier.

I didn't have time to say hello to him: "It's so comfortable today." ”

The few stood up and shouted, "Master is polite." ”

Li Kou was stunned, but he just wanted him to see how majestic he was.

He visually measured the distance from the tax booth to the city gate, if there was a riot and murder here, but a few vertical up to the outside of the city gate, far away only to see the Guo wall is quite high, but between the inner city and the Guo wall, there are scattered houses of different heights on both sides of the road, the distance between the inner city wall and the city wall is three zhang away, it is obviously a planned outer city, but the people in the outer city do not pay attention to the rules, and some of the bluestone and some of the wooden rafters are slightly erected up a shed, and the four sides are completely ventilated, if you want to abscond from here, I am afraid that it will take some twists and turns.

He looked here, and said to a few officers that he wanted to take people out of the city to see his face, and at this time, several soldiers holding spears and swords and bows in the cave of the city gate also came over to talk, said a few words of greeting, looked at Li Kou twice, and did not ask more.

In this era, monks have run rampant here?

Li Kou knew that Weizhou was a military state, and if the guards in Weizhou were so careless, he was afraid that it would be inappropriate.

Sure enough, chatting for a while, they were separated from each other, and they walked out again when they had no time, and when they got out of the inner city, Li Kou saw that there were more than a thousand houses on both sides of the road, and there were narrow alleys, where black sewage flowed out of the stone slabs in a stagnate manner, and there were a few boys, chasing each other in the alleys, and not looking at the road, obviously not caring about who came over in the past.

Li Kou guessed in his heart, but he was afraid that the defense at Guo Wall would be extremely strict.

Sure enough, under the Guo wall, there is a huge crossbow at the head of the city, there are horse rejection piles inside and outside the city gate hole, the arrangement is very reasonable, the city head jack turnstile is on the side, there are thousands of guns and arrows like big guns, and there are properly prepared rolling wood and stone cannons, look at the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall, each holding a sharp blade, the battlements are lined up with a pile of dry firewood at the bottom, and the dry firewood even crosses the battlements on the city wall, and the middle arches support a black and heavy iron pot, and there is a section of the city wall battlements that have been smoked blackened, There are even some battlements that have been broken, looking at the fractures, I am afraid that there has been a war recently, and they have been destroyed by some heavy weapons, but the bows and crossbows on the city wall are aimed at Guo Nei.

I am afraid that the power of defending against the people is not weaker than the defense against thieves.

Li Kou looked twice, and saw that someone in the city was staring at him, so he lowered his eyes, pulled the felt hat, and made it look like Li Chuangwang's felt hat in the illustration of the middle school history textbook.

Wukong didn't dare to chat with the guards outside Guomen, openly said hello, whispered to the head of the soldiers on the side for a while, and then turned around and waved at Li Kou and Zhu Wen solemnly, and said, "Hurry up, it's only one day and an hour." ”

Li Kou walked away, and at this time, Zhu Wen noticed that there was something unusual about the void.

He hurriedly followed, taking advantage of the opportunity to go out and pass by dozens of people entering the city, and whispered to Li Kou: "Why is this guy a little sneaky? ”

Li Kou said in a low voice: "Don't get into trouble with him first, just look at my arrangement, and be cautious about him." ”

The two of them went out of the city, Li Kou looked back at the Weizhou Guo Wall, which was three zhang higher than the inner city wall, and the outer Guo Wall was no more than three zhang high, and it was not a mixture of bluestone slabs and blue bricks, it looked like a rammed earth structure, and some bricks were used on the city wall, and the outside was already a little broken.

Zhu Wen introduced: "The west gate is still up, the east gate is very dilapidated, I only heard people say, last autumn the west thieves invaded in Weizhou and fought a battle, the thieves did not carry crossbows, but took the opportunity to rush to the door, causing some chaos, less than half a day away, but I don't know what to do - but thirty or fifty people, but most of them were knocked down by the defenders, what did they want? ”

Li Kou asked, "What do you think they are trying to do?" ”

Zhu Wen shook his head and said: "It's just that at that time, the prince was in Beijing, otherwise I would not dare to commit it if I was afraid of three or five thousand people." ”

This is quite a fit that has won the trust of the people.

Talking, the three of them walked northwest from the dirt road, there is a wide dirt road less than one zhang, there are bleak trees on both sides, some are poplars and some are willows, both sides of the road are farmland, at this time the land of Weizhou is desolate, only the slight wheat seedlings in the wheat field add three points of vitality to Weizhou.

Li Kou looked at the north and south sides from afar, the South Mountain is still desolate, the North Mountain is still desolate, only the gray road that winds up I don't know whether it is a march or the villagers who have walked out for thousands of years, and it seems that it has not changed after a thousand years.

Li Kou has a rough geographical situation map of Weizhou in his heart, and later generations like this is a city built along the valley of the Jing River, the east and west span is long, the north and south are separated, but there is less trampling of the later generations for thousands of years, and Weizhou at this time is a terrain that is high in the northwest and low in the southeast.

There are occasional pedestrians passing by on the road, some lay monks and monks, but they don't see the road crown, some drive donkey carts, some push wooden carts, and some see that they are dignitaries and dignitaries, sitting on wooden box carts and bones galloping from the road, but the traction is not a horse, it looks like a mule.

In this regard, Li Kou can barely be regarded as half an expert.

He grew up in the countryside and was familiar with livestock.

He found that the mules of the Northern Song Dynasty were not very different from the modern mules.

There are peasants shouting to drive chariots, narrow and shorter, that is donkeys and mules, can be used in the mountains with less strength, better endurance than horses, smarter and more explosive than donkeys, that is the livestock of male donkeys and mares.

But those who drove the carts quickly, especially those who were much better dressed than ordinary peasants, and used horses and mules.

Zhu Wen saw Li Kou looking at the coming and going mules, thinking that he didn't understand this, so he smiled and said: "The bigger ones are horses and mules, and there are clouds in "Huainanzi Qi Customs": six unicorns, four horses and mules - the so-called horses and mules, which are born of stallions and female donkeys, but they are not all horses and mules, the so-called sons of mules and mules, thousands of miles away, are comparable to the legendary sweat and blood horses, thousands of miles a day, very good. ”

Li Kou didn't know what it was, he only knew that mules were cultivated by the Huns.

As for the authenticity, of course, he doesn't know, but he knows that horses, mules, donkeys and mules are rarely able to give birth, and among thousands of male mules and thousands of female mules, there is only a little chance of giving birth to mules.

He had only lived in the village and knew some of the facts that the peasants knew.

Zhu Wen also said: "The lack of young horses in the national dynasty, although Weizhou is a military state, the pull force also depends on cattle and donkeys, to Chongning Zhangzhuang Minqi Princess Guanxi Zhulu, lead the donkey in the pass, and buy the donkey from Hu Shang, the lack of Weizhou baggage pull force can be solved, and follow the villagers' land law, learn the skills of the West thief, and produce mules, because the mule of Weizhou is enough for the villagers to use, the rich and noble people use horses and mules as a pull, and the villagers take a lot of cheaper donkeys and mules, after all, this place is a military state, if the farming season, the fields are all ploughing cattle, once the West thief calls, I'm afraid it's too late to escape. ”

In just a few words, Li Kou learned the most useful information from it.

It was a place of war, and unlike the fifth-tier town of later generations, it is now a frontier.

Li Kou asked: "How to write the word "decisive mention?" ”

Zhu Wen didn't know what he was thinking, but he said that he was a studious, so he took the gravel on the side of the road and wrote the word 駃 on the ground, and Li Kou followed to learn to write twice, remembering the structure of the frame, erasing the handwriting on the ground, and being able to write neatly.

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "Da Lang's penmanship is sophisticated, but his handwriting is not as good as ......."

"Let's go." Li Kou threw away the gravel and got up and left.

Zhu Wen knew that he was a master, but he didn't want to let Wukong know.

Zhu Wen was suspicious in his heart, seeing that Li Kou was empty, he understood in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "This young man is so alert and vigilant, and I don't know how much he suffered when he fled all the way back to Weizhou-no, no, he really doesn't know how to write the word 駃, but he has only learned it twice, and he already has a notation in his heart. ”

Gradually, when we reached the edge of the Jing River, the dirt road became narrower and narrower, but every 100 zhang there was a wrong horse crossing on the side of the road, as if the place where the car would meet, and the stars extended to the northwest.

Li Kou saw the frozen Jing River again, several times wider than the later generations, at this time the ice was not solved, there were hundreds of people on the river, each holding a shovel and a stick, and with a rope, and with an axe, all wrapped in coarse cloth on their feet, and was digging ice on the river, this is what Li Kou knew, the ancient big families or the government, often took thick ice on the river in winter, stored for summer use, he had seen a report, said that it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was still a team in the Forbidden City to dig ice in winter, I don't remember the specifics, only know that the ice can be left in the summer to use.

General Li Koufang saw that the mountain road was similar to the future life, and his heart was slightly happy, and when he saw the team taking ice in winter, his heart was much darker, and he sighed softly, and he said to himself: "In the end, it is completely different." ”

This is not the Pingliang he is familiar with, this is Weizhou in the Song Dynasty.

Here, he is not an old man from his hometown.

He's just a guest who has broken in by mistake.

He couldn't find familiar things here, and naturally he couldn't see familiar people.

He really became a man from the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago.

Li Kou's heart was full of rage, and it rolled straight up, pressing on the back of his neck together.

At a moment's notice, the fury will erupt like a volcano!
