Riding the wind, in just a few days, Pan Long crossed almost the entire Great Xia and came to Qingzhou.

Landing into the city, he suddenly felt a completely different atmosphere from the Northland.

The land of Great Xia is vast, and there is Kyushu. In such a vast world, the customs and customs of each place are naturally different.

Yongzhou has barren land and a cold climate, and the benefits of farming are very limited. Therefore, the people are fierce and bandits. There are even many people who are farmers with hoes, and robbers when they change sticks.

Pan Long walked on Yongzhou Road, and more than once encountered a village that also operated a black shop, and if he encountered a single traveler, he would be poisoned and killed. So much so that there are few single travelers in Yongzhou, even if they are caravans, they often do not buy water in the small inns in the village.

Because Yizhou has experienced little war, the people are gentle, the local people are relatively mild, and the number of fights and killings is much less than that in Yongzhou. Even when fighting, it is often a matter of winning or losing, and it is rare for that kind of situation of "winning and losing, but also dividing life and death".

Compared with Yongzhou, Yizhou's cultural style is much more prosperous, in addition to official schools, there are also some private academies. When Pan Long's father, Pan Lei, was studying in Yizhou, he took classes in a folk academy. However, he relied on the retreat of the Mountains and Seas to study hard, and completed the study process of others for ten or even twenty years in a few months, and was directly admitted to the Juren, which is considered to be a graduation.

Yunzhou is located at the extreme edge of Kyushu, and because of the geographical barrier, the imperial court's rule here is much weaker. The people of the mountains and wilderness are not educated, and most of them do not respect the king's law, and the folk customs are quite rude.

The climate here is hot, and people dress lightly for most of the year. The situation of vacuuming the battle is also commonplace, whether it is the scenery or the folk customs, it is very different from other places, and even makes people who have just arrived in Yunzhou sigh "Is this really the territory of Daxia"?

Jingzhou is rich, Yangzhou is prosperous, one has developed agriculture and the other has developed commerce, all of which are famous for Daxia.

It's just that Pan Long didn't walk much in Jingzhou, and he watched the results of a few glances...... Anyway, he felt that the peasants in Jingzhou were living a very hard life, and it could be said that "there was no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers were still starving to death", and the pressure was extremely high, and life was very difficult.

And the merchants in Yangzhou are indeed doing well, and the lives of ordinary people are okay. Even bandits are relatively rare.

At least in Guangling City and Tongtianjiang Road, he didn't see any bandits. However, there are often people in the green forest who collect tolls, but they only ask the caravan to collect them, and they never harass ordinary people.

He once asked Yangzhou Lvlin Haoqiang Wu Jixing about this question, and Wu Jixing's answer was: "Collecting a caravan toll is worth collecting hundreds of thousands of people." Although the people of the green forest are, to put it bluntly, they are exchanging their reputation and conscience for money, but they can't be sold cheaply. ”

The atmosphere of Yangzhou's green forest is still like this, and the situation of the whole society is naturally unknown.

The mainstream atmosphere here is heavy business, everyone wants to make money and make a fortune, and in Kyushu, it is also the only one.

Pan Long has not been to the rest of the states.

As far as he knows, the people of Jizhou are martial arts, and there are many folk martial arts halls, and even the rural villagers will use their fists and feet. Martial arts fights are even more commonplace, and it is naturally commonplace to fight for human life.

The Jizhou government was very distressed by this, but it was helpless.

Youzhou is also a bitter cold place, but unlike Yongzhou, it is directly facing a confrontation with foreign races on the border. Conflicts often erupt between the two sides, and when they do, they are often on a large scale.

After all, for ordinary people, in order to gain an advantage in hundreds of people or even larger-scale battles, and to practice martial arts, it is better to wear a strong and stubborn horse and shoot arrows.

And Qingzhou, the biggest feature is culture.

As early as the time of the Tianxiong Dynasty, Qingzhou was already a place where Kyushu culture flourished. By the time of the Warring States Period, more than half of the hundreds of schools of thought were born in Qingzhou, and everyone debated each other's ideas and academics.

For a long time, Qingzhou has exported a large number of scholars. Even if it is because Emperor Jiazi swept away the hundreds of schools of thought, Qingzhou's academic community has suffered a lot of losses, but after all, it has a profound background. Compared with other places with shallow roots, it is still much ahead.

Now in the Great Xia court, in terms of military attachés, the number of people from all over the country is about the same. But the thesis officer, Qingzhou people have an absolute advantage. Among the 100 civil officials, at least forty or fifty are from Qingzhou.

Therefore, Qingzhou people have always been proud of their status as the "ancestral court of the literary world".

However, in the green forest, there is another way of saying about Qingzhou.

In the rumors of the green forest, the Qingzhou government specializes in flattery, and the imperial court says one, they must do at least three. As for whether the people can stand it or not, they don't care at all.

Therefore, the officials in Qingzhou are particularly easy to be promoted, and they are also particularly easy to be picked off by the heroes of the green forest.

As for Chushu, which is located in the center of Kyushu, or Xiazhou, that ...... Naturally, it is the first good place, tall, cowhide, and so on.

Anyway, when people from all over Kyushu talk about Xiazhou, they are generally either envious or jealous, and they rarely analyze politely and calmly.

What is going on in Xiazhou? I have to have a chance to see it myself.

As soon as he arrived in Qingzhou, Pan Long had already determined that among those rumors about Qingzhou, at least the "literary style was prosperous", there was indeed no mistake.

What he came to at the moment was only a small city, only five or six miles away, and the population was not dense, and the location was not on the thoroughfare of Kyushu Avenue. But even in such a small city, there are at least four or five academies, and there are many people studying in each academies, as if "everything is inferior, but only reading is high".

He can't quite understand this mentality, but the fact is in front of him, Qingzhou people's pursuit of culture is really admirable!

Pan Long found an inn that also ran a restaurant to live in, and then waited until the evening to go downstairs to the hall and sit in the corner to listen to what the drinkers were talking about.

According to his impression, in this kind of place where there are many people who read books, whenever there is a meal or drink, there will inevitably be a group of people who talk loudly, talk about the past and the present, and comment on the world's major events. Although what they say may not be correct, we can learn from their words about the local situation.

Sure enough, after a while, a few young people dressed as scholars raised their voices.

"Prince Luonan's change is naturally excellent, but this Qingzhou official can't do things well!" A scholar said indignantly, "The so-called 'too much', good things will become bad things if they go too far, like these officials, sooner or later something will happen!"

"Brother Mo, be cautious! Be cautious! Beware of being heard by the people who sent you, report to the school official, accuse you of being drunk and nonsense, and cancel your qualification to take the exam this year. ”

"What am I afraid of? My family has 300 acres of fertile land, and although it is not rich, at least it is worry-free about food and clothing. It's a big deal, if he can still arrest me and go to jail?"

The scholars are not very old, and someone took the lead, and the old man couldn't persuade him. Soon, they began to criticize the evils of the times, criticizing the practices of Qingzhou officials.

Pan Long listened to it and couldn't help frowning.

According to them, Qingzhou's change seems to be a bit ...... Unpopular?
