When Li Meng was in modern times, whether for work or private, he had come to Jiaozhou City many times, after all, it was a suburban county an hour's drive from Qingdao.

In this era, it was originally the place where the prosperous city of Qingdao was located, and there was only a lonely Fushan Thousand Households, but this Jiaozhou is the richest place in Laizhou, Jiaozhou is the intersection of Qingzhou Mansion on the land road, Laizhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, and there are many people who come and go.

The above impressions are all the impressions of Li Meng in his memory, in the past, Li Meng had never been far away, so for the current Li Meng, he was the first time to Jiaozhou City.

When not far from the city gate, I saw the Jiaozhou city wall and the city gate, Li Meng visually measured, how can this have to be about seven meters, according to the measurement of this era, that is, two zhang high, maybe for others, this is a commonplace scene, go to those big cities, there are more majestic and majestic buildings.

But for Li Meng, who comes from modern times, this is really spectacular, especially under the reflection of the sun, this city wall is even more unattainable, sure enough, he is right to come during the day, if he comes here at night, this high wall can not be climbed at all.

The city gate where Li Meng entered the city is the west gate, the road at the gate is much smoother and wider than the official road when he came, there are a few soldiers standing lazily at the door, it is ridiculous to say, Li Meng is still the military household of the Lingshan Guard, but he has been in the Ming Dynasty for nearly a month, and this is the first time he has seen the soldiers.

The soldiers were not so much standing, but leaning against the city wall to bask in the sun, and the clothes they wore were like the torn cotton jackets worn by the modern poor, which was actually the standard battle robes of the Ming soldiers - the Mandarin Duck Battle Jacket, which was generally holding a spear, but the spear was either leaning against the wall or lying horizontally on the ground.

The weather is hot, and these Ming troops guarding the city gate are not good to directly drag off their battle jackets, they directly unbutton them, open their arms, and the ones below are wearing fat pants and straw sandals, and they are fanning the wind with a felt hat in one hand.

When Li Meng was a soldier in modern times, the military appearance and posture in the army were extremely strict, and Li Meng's comrades-in-arms once unbuttoned two shirts when they were riding the bus outside, and were seen by pickets, and after returning to the company, they were criticized by the company commander. Looking at the soldiers at this gate, Li Meng also understood why the Ming Dynasty perished so easily.

While thinking about it, he approached the city gate, Li Meng also looked at the city wall around the city gate with a curious face, which is different from what he saw in film and television dramas.

If there are siege equipment, bows and arrows with fire, it will be effective if you shoot it, Li Meng was still looking curiously there, and he heard a soldier by the city gate shouting:

"That poor man, what are you looking for, come here!!"

Seeing Li Meng's tall figure, the soldier swallowed back the dirty words in his mouth, Li Meng was stunned and immediately walked over with a smile on his face, and the soldier who shouted leaned on the city wall and did not stand up, and said lazily:

"What are you doing in the city?"

"My father is sick and went to the city to buy medicine."

Li Meng accompanied him with a smile and bent down to reply, the soldier was very satisfied with Li Meng's humble attitude, and said:

"What about the money to buy medicine~~"

Dragged out the voice and asked, Li Meng was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and groped in his arms, took out a small pocket, the metal collided inside, all copper coins, the soldier still lazily put his hand in, took out ten copper coins, put them in his hand, and said:

"Yes, this is the entry money, you don't have to pay it when you come out, and then you will say that Wang Laosan has already received your money."

Seeing that Li Meng wanted to open his mouth to say something, the soldier's eyes widened, and he scolded:

"What do you see, if you still want to pay more, you can't do it, get out of the city."

Li Mengyi lowered his head, hurriedly ran to the city gate, and left the city gate far away, this is to touch his waist, where no one should find the hard things.

Now is not a good year, although Li Meng did not go far, but I have also heard that the neighboring Dengzhou Mansion is making a military disaster, and there are more and more provinces in the whole world that are suffering from famine, and the days are worse day by day, but when Li Meng walked through the city gate and stood in the city of Jiaozhou, he still felt a kind of prosperity, and his heart was filled with an indescribable emotion.

In the past, although Li Meng, who had reversed time for hundreds of years, used the word "past" very awkwardly, but Li Meng used to be in modern times, and the trend of that era was to advocate what to return to nature and rural life. Paying attention to staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Li Meng came to the Ming Dynasty for more than a month, and really felt the original rural life.

Every night except for the waves crashing on the shore and some natural sounds, it is silent, and the night is dark, sometimes a person walks face to face, and only when he arrives at the front because of the sound can be distinguished, most of the necessities are seriously lacking, because there is no store, you can do it yourself, you can't do it yourself, and you don't even know where to buy it.

Therefore, after selling the salt, the companions happily made purchases, and the purchases were nothing more than meat, cloth, oil, and some condiments.

The extreme lack of material and spiritual life, as well as the feeling of loneliness in the desert, made Li Meng scoff at the rural life advocated by modern times, and all the petty bourgeoisie who were so clamoring should come to live in the Xue family's thousands of households for a few days, and then see if they still love the countryside.

Jiaozhou City may be just such a bustling street, with shops on both sides of the road, and people who come and go can wear clothes in addition to cloth and linen, and you can see silk and satin. And some of this road is still paved with bluestone slabs, and the faces of these civilians in Jiaozhou City are slightly better than those outside the city.

There was an impatient shout behind him, Li Meng hurriedly flashed aside, and a carriage creaked past, this should be a car in modern times, Li Meng was thinking in his heart.

Among the pedestrians on the street, there are also some people wearing green robes, white coats, and black scarves, with the memory in his mind, Li Meng knows that this should be the scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a highly regarded cultural person in this era.

He was wearing tattered short clothes and fat pants, tied with cloth bands, wearing cloth shoes with exposed toes on his feet, and carrying a small burden on his back, although Li Meng insisted on washing every day, but this beard had no tools to repair it, and he didn't dare to shave it with a knife like everyone else, and it was already very long.
