There is still half a month before the Chinese New Year.

On November 15, Du Rui, the king of Zhao, entered Handan.

There is no huge dependence, just a light car, three carriages, more than a dozen guards, the momentum is far inferior to Zheng Cheng, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, Zheng Cheng and his party have dozens of taxis, hundreds of guards, and dozens of staff.

This world is like the late Tang Dynasty.

Jiedu makes a position to manage the people immediately, immediately manage the army, military power, financial power, and have three powers, so it is easy to deviate from the central court, forming a situation of separating one side of the feudal town, the reason why this is so is because the land is vast and sparsely populated, even if there is a rune array, after all, it is still too precious, after all, there are not many mages, and resources such as runes are in the hands of a small number of families and sects, and it is not easy to come and go.

Don't look at Du Rui's command, the carriage has a rune array, and the guard's mount saddle is also engraved with a rune array, and it can run when you put the rune stone, that's because Du Rui is a prince and a prince, and he has royal resources to worship. In this world, even if it is a huge caravan of the Yipin Gate Valve, there are not many carriages that can carve talismans. Therefore, Rao is dragon horse in this world is more vigorous and faster than the war horse of the earth, and it is not so pampered, so it is mainly used for long-distance trafficking, and it is only a hundred miles a day.

A group occupies an extremely wide area, a radius of thousands of miles, and the two groups come and go, and the general caravan, just one way, will consume a month or two on the road, so the traffic is extremely inconvenient.

There is a change in one place, there is a communication talisman array, and it is extremely fast to reach the center, the problem is that the imperial court ordered the transfer of troops to deal with it, and the time consumed is relatively long, and sometimes, things have subsided, and the imperial army is still on the way.

Therefore, there is a moderation to make an existence, if no one decides, a county, there are several governors with equal power, everything needs to be discussed, in this way, it is inevitable that there will be prevarication.

When the imperial power is strong, the situation of feudal towns will not appear.

At that time, each section of the envoy in the local office will not exceed five years, as soon as the time passes, it must be transferred, or into Chang'an, or transferred to other places to serve as a section of the envoy, and, each group has a county guard, there is a press to rub, at that time, the county guard is not as concurrently served by the section of the envoy, but another person, although it is a subordinate, but also has a direct access to the capital of the rune array, according to the rub is equivalent to the post of the supervisor, can be reported to the emperor secretly.

When imperial power was in decline, this set would not work.

For example, the festival degree envoys in Yanzhao and other places, more than a dozen counties, the festival degree of each county has no way to control the imperial court, and the old festival degree envoy is gone, and the group will push a new festival to make it, or through mutiny, or election, in short, after everything is decided, it will send a letter to the imperial court, and the imperial court has no choice but to pinch its nose and issue a will to approve.

Even if the court didn't approve of it, they didn't pay attention to it, and still went their own way and did their own thing.

In the ancient kingdom of China, the central court and local games often existed, even in modern times when communication and transportation are very developed, there will be such problems, but there is basically no hope for local rebellion.

In this world, it is even more difficult for the central court to maintain its authority and to achieve government decrees.

It must be convenient for transportation, everyone can use the talisman array, and the talisman can be used in the world, rather than only a small number of high-level people can use it, in this way, even if the territory of the Tang Empire is ten times larger than that of the Earth Huaguo, as long as the method is appropriate, there will not be such a situation.

There are only thousands of years of families, and countless thousands of years of dynasties.

is still the old saying, if you want to do that, you must move the cake of the family gate, which is equivalent to changing the basis of the rule, just like changing the laws of heaven, which can only be described by the word against the sky.

If Du Rui told others about his ambitions, even the closest people would only think that his old illness had relapsed, and even that he would rather be demented than that he would not be like this, not a mad person can be described.

In the wind and rain, Du Rui and his entourage entered the gate of Handan City.

Handan City, like most cities in this world, is divided into an inner city and an outer city.

The inner city is protected by a city wall, and when the city is built, there is a rune array as the foundation, and the city wall is built on top of a rune array, and the center of the rune array is often controlled in the county guard's mansion, and there are mages sitting in the town at all times.

Most of the time, this rune array is not fully activated, only a small number of peripheral forces are running automatically, monitoring the situation, if there is an alien or powerful force entering the city, the rune array will have a sense.

The outer city is different, there is no city wall, and there is no huge rune array protection, even if there is a rune array, it is not unified in the hands of the government, but privately owned, in their respective houses, if there are alien rampant, the people living in the outer city will not be protected by the rune array. It's not that the government doesn't want to use the rune array to protect the people, it's just that if the outer city is also protected by the rune array, it will take an astronomical amount.

The outer city is much larger than the inner city, often several times the number.

The inner city is mainly where the government is located, where the mansion of the family gate valve is located, and there is a fang market, and the shops in the fang market sell most of the resources related to cultivation, and there are not many shops related to clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Let's put it this way, most of the things in the inner city are related to practitioners, and the outer city is the dwelling place of the common people.

If you want to enter the inner city, you must first pass through the outer city.

Handan is located in the plain, and was the capital of Zhao State, but also can be regarded as a famous city with a long history, although, after a lot of wars, destroyed and built, built and destroyed, after all, it still stands in the Central Plains, still has the prosperity of the past, even in these decades, after several wars, the recent Feng Lixue night into Handan, now, ten years without a major war, still maintains a prosperous situation.

There is a popular saying in the local area, as long as Zhao Jun Li is here, Handan will be there.

Yes, Handan City is the foundation of Zhao Jun Li, the secret realm is here, and the Zhao Jun Li clan cannot be relocated, so as long as the Zhao Jun Li clan does not die, Handan will not be destroyed after all.

There is a street in the west of the outer city of Handan, the street leads directly to the Suzaku Gate of the inner city, this street is also called Vermilion Bird Street, and the Vermilion Bird Street of Chang'an City has the same name, when Du Rui and his party marched on the Vermilion Bird Street, Li Lancheng was on the second floor of the largest restaurant on the Zhuque Street, Zuixian Building, sitting by the window, silently watching Du Rui and his party.

Du Rui's hiding has been exposed, however, no one took the initiative to harass him, and everyone maintained an attitude of turning a blind eye.

Since the nominal owner of this prince Handan City doesn't like to move the people and wants to obey the people, everyone naturally pretends not to know, and when they get it, just maintain a sincere and fearful attitude!

The Li family is naturally the same.

Seeing Du Rui and his entourage appear at the Vermilion Bird Gate, Li Lancheng also went down to the Drunken Immortal Tower.

He had to inform Li Dan, the head of the Li family's mansion in the inner city, that the prince had arrived.
