Chapter 250: Take office
Jinling County, a healthy city before the Tang Dynasty, was the place of the six dynasties of Sun Wu, Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Song, Xiao Qi, Xiao Liang and Chen Dynasty, and was the economic, cultural, political and military center at that time, and it was also the world's first city with a population of more than one million, the largest city in the world at that time. Jiankang City south of Qinhuai, north of the back lake, Zhongshan Longpan, Shicheng tiger, the city and its prosperity, the garden palace, Qionglou Yuyu, everywhere. It's a pity that in the first month of the third year of the Chen Dynasty, the Sui army broke Jiankang, captured the Chen Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty perished, and Emperor Wen of Sui ordered that the Jiankang City be razed to the ground, and the ancient capital of a generation was no longer prosperous.
Li Yi and the others galloped all the way and finally arrived outside Jinling County at noon, however, looking at the dilapidated small county town in front of him, Li Yi sighed, the center of Jiangnan in later generations, the prosperous ancient capital, now there is no trace of shadow.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Bingyu followed Li Yi all the way to Jinling, except for a few days of sadness in Maoshan at the beginning, the rest of the time was very happy, he has lived in Chang'an since he was a child, and even the gate of Li's Mansion has rarely been out, let alone out of the city, this time with Li Yi saw the landscape of the south of the Yangtze River, and his heart has long been fascinated by the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, although the current Jinling is not satisfied with the prosperity of later generations, but its natural scenery is still the scenery, and even more majestic and magnificent than later generations. Therefore, Bing Yu didn't know why Li Yi sighed.
"Hehe, Xiaoyu, do you know how prosperous this city used to be? And how brilliant will it be after that? ”
Bing Yu's little head tilted, thought about it, and said with a sweet smile: "Hehe, young master, although I don't know how prosperous he was before, but I know that after you come, young master, it will become more brilliant in the future!" ”
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, this girl Bingyu obviously misunderstood what he meant, the ancient capital of the ten dynasties, the important thing is not only the prosperity of the city, but the accumulation of history, that is the breath of the free culture of the ancient capital, especially if he can build it overnight.
However, Li Yi immediately straightened his chest, since he came, he wanted to bring something different to the city, even if he couldn't restore the brilliance of the future generations, but at least it could give him a perfect start.
Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but be ambitious. "Hahaha, Bingyu, remember what I said today, I came, I sa, I conquered!"
"Love Kang, love Sweep, Love Concord? Young master, who is Concord? ”
"Ahem!" Li Yi was embarrassed and wanted to give himself two mouths, what's going on lately, why do you always like to drag English? It's so embarrassing!
"That, that didn't count just now! Never, listen to this, uh-huh!
I come, I see, I conquer! ”
Li Yi shouted out the famous words of Julius Caesar loudly, feeling as if he had conquered the world, worthy of being a bull, and his words were so domineering.
Looking at Li Yi's stunned appearance, Bing Yu frowned.
"Young Master, are you done?"
Li Yi's body froze suddenly, twisted his head stiffly, and said with a smile: "It's over!" ”
"When you're done, hurry into the city, otherwise you'll get nervous again, and others will think it's strange to see you!"
The corners of Li Yi's mouth twitched wildly. "Bingyu, you're coming!"
"What?"
"Come here, the young master has something good for you!"
Bing Yu stared at Li Yi, his face full of distrust, but he couldn't help his curiosity, hesitated for a moment, or patted the white horse and slowly approached.
Li Yi smiled evilly. "Come here, young master, I have sugar here!"
However, when Bing Yu was about to walk to Li Yi's side, Bing Yu suddenly made a move and reached out to grab Bing Yu, but he didn't expect Bing Yu to take precautions, his body lowered suddenly, and then he shook the horsewhip, and the white horse that sat down suddenly rushed out.
"Hehehehe, young master, I know you have bad intentions, don't forget, Bing Yu has been practiced!"
Li Yi missed a move, and her body suddenly spoke, her face was full of embarrassment, she really forgot that Bing Yu and Li Xueyan had been trained before, and their skills were not much worse than ordinary soldiers.
Looking back at the way the third son wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, Li Yi suddenly became "annoyed and angry". "What are you laughing at, didn't you see Xiaoyu running away? Waiting for you? ”
The third son responded with a hippie smile, and also flicked the horsewhip and ran out.
Li Yi smiled silently, greeted him, and followed closely.
Li Yi only brought his third son, Bingyu and a hundred generals from home this time. As for the people Fang Xuanling brought to him, they were all waiting for him in Jinling County, and Fang Xuanling also took Qianniuwei to the southern states to knock on the mountains and shake the tiger!
Jinling Town is between Xuanwu Lake and Qinhuai River, it is also a big city, but this city does not have a city wall, obviously because of the special geographical location of Jinling, and the population of the county is increasing, so there is no city wall is also for the convenience of expansion at any time.
The group walked directly into Jinling City, and found that although this county town is far inferior to Chang'an, it is still very lively, vendors, stalls, restaurants and shops can be seen everywhere, and people come and go, the river is endless, it seems that everything is not as bad as Li Yi imagined.
"Young master, shall we go to the county government first or eat first?"
"Yes! Let's eat first, you can go to the county government whenever you want! Li Yi knows that the restaurant is the most well-informed place, and if you want to understand Jinling City as quickly as possible, it is the most reliable to go to the restaurant.
Li Yi and his party of 100 people, when they entered the city, they were divided into groups of ten by Li Yi, each of them moved, agreed on the meeting place, and told them not to make trouble, so they did not attract attention, otherwise, the team of more than 100 people was really a bit ostentatious.
Li Yi took a dozen people to find a Zhang Ji tavern, looked around, and walked in.
"Oh, guest officer, please inside!"
Xiao Er saw that Li Yi and the others were extraordinary, and Li Yi's clothes looked like they were either rich or expensive, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran out to greet them.
Xiao'er took Li Yi to the private seat on the second floor, but the ten generals were left on the first floor by Li Yi, which can be regarded as collecting news.
"Xiao Er, come two pots of good wine, two plates of beef with sauce, and a few signature dishes!" When Li Yi came to ancient times, he has always had a soft spot for sauced beef, especially when he thought of Wu Song eating wine and eating sauced beef at the same time, he felt very stylish.
"Come on, guest officer, wait a minute!"
Li Yi sat in the window seat, so the scenery downstairs is clear at a glance, and you can also look into the distance, look at it, and be fascinated for a while, this Jinling City is worthy of Nanjing, even if there is no ancient city, this scenery is still fascinating!
Li Yi couldn't help but sigh, if you want to build this great Jinling Ancient Land into a magnificent city, you don't know when you will be able to achieve your goal!
