The small city in Kang Di's mouth, but when he ran closer, Shang Tao found that it was so big. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The city is ten miles long and eight miles wide, the city wall is about 20 meters high, there are about 80,000 permanent residents in the city, plus the merchants and other things, the city actually accommodates about 120,000 people.

In ancient times on Earth, this city would not have been divided into small cities, however, on this nameless planet, it was just an inconspicuous border town.

Shang Tao really couldn't imagine how big the big cities in the Central Plains with sixteen light letter towers were.

"Uncle Kang, I don't know how many people there are in the big cities in the Central Plains with sixteen light letter towers?" Shang Tao asked curiously.

"The population of this different region is also different, the largest capital has a population of about 5 million, Jinling City has a population of about 3 million, and some of the larger cities with a smaller population have a population of 500,000 to 2 million."

Shang Tao was shocked, the scale of this city completely surpassed the scale of the Chinese medium-sized cities in the future generations of the earth, you must know that in ancient times without reinforced concrete, the floors could not be built too high, so it could not be developed vertically, so it could only develop horizontally, imagine the city that accommodates five million people, how huge an area it spreads?

The group quickly drove their horses to feel that outside the moat not far in front of the gate tower of the city, the first thing that caught Shang Tao's eye was the half-human-high railing outside the moat that extended more than ten miles from north to south.

"Uncle Kang, isn't this moat just to stop the enemy from attacking the city? Why do you need to build a railing in such a big way? Shang Tao asked puzzled.

"Shang Xian's nephew didn't know that a large group of piranhas were stocked in this moat, and this railing was to prevent some Tang people from accidentally falling into the river.

However, even if there is a railing, at least a few people will still fall into the river every year, and those who fall into the moat will be eaten by a group of extremely ferocious piranhas, leaving only the skeleton in half a column of incense. Kang Di said embarrassed, it is estimated that he may have seen it with his own eyes.

Shang Tao and the city gate where they are at the moment is the west gate, the north and south gates are usually not opened, only the west gate and the east gate are open, the west gate leads to the direction of the stacked gates, and the east gate is naturally the direction of Fengluan City.

The folding suspension bridge outside the west city gate is flat on the moat at the moment, in front of the suspension bridge, there is a stone sentry box on the left and right, between the two sentry boxes, there is a crossbar that can be lifted, it is a bit of the feeling of the lifting rod at the entrance of the parking lot in the future generations of the earth, but this lifting rod is manual, the material is iron, far stronger than the electronic lifting rod, as for the workmanship, it is naturally a lot rougher.

After the group showed their temporary passports, went through a routine inspection, and paid the entrance fee, a gatekeeper manually raised the lifting pole and shouted routinely: "Horses are not allowed in the city, and violators will be fined one or two pieces of silver and three strokes of the cane." ”

Kang Di led a group of more than ten people, led the horse to step on the suspension bridge, and walked towards the city gate open.

Walk to Hezhong, Shang Tao raised his eyes to look, only to see the city gate tower of more than 20 meters high is majestic and majestic, it looks like people have a chilling feeling, the city wall is made of stones, the city wall is wide and narrow on the solid trapezoid, from the thickness of the gate building door hole, it is estimated that the narrowest part of the top of the city wall is 20 meters thick, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no problem at all with ten cars side by side on the top of the city wall.

Nima, this is actually just a small border city, Shang Tao feels that he has been hit by this time-traveler from the afterlife of the earth.

After entering the city, a group of people led the horse to walk on the bustling street, the road surface of the street is paved with bluestone, and the potholes are not very smooth.

The buildings near the walls were single-story brick houses, which looked like barracks or storehouses for defending the city.

After passing through these two rows of low tiled houses, the houses in front of them began to gradually become bright, and some of the first floors gradually became two- and three-story small buildings, most of which were brick structures, and the cement joints that could not be seen on the city walls could be seen everywhere in these small buildings.

"Uncle Kang, why don't the city walls use cement joints, but these houses use cement joints?"

"This is mainly for the sake of solidity, and the city walls are all made of glutinous rice slurry joints, which are much stronger than this cement joints."

Hearing Kang Di's explanation, Shang Tao was a little speechless, the cement in this world seems to be of substandard quality, but it is not as strong as glutinous rice syrup.

As the city center gets closer and closer, there are more and more shops on both sides of the street, and similarly, the pedestrians and vendors on the street are gradually increasing, all kinds of signboard flags can be seen everywhere, all kinds of shouting, shouting, bargaining sounds, and even the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping, making this small city in Kangdi's mouth full of thriving vitality.

Shang Tao is like Grandma Liu walking into the Grand View Garden, look here, look there, look everywhere I feel very fresh, and the future life of the earth I am in is a completely different feeling, of course, it is not the same as the ancient times seen in film and television works, it is more real, more shocking, and much more shocking.

Soon, the group passed through the bustling street market and stopped in front of a five-story all-wood building almost ten meters high.

I saw this antique building, located at the crossroads, on the lintel of the spacious main entrance, there was a huge plaque, on which from right to left was written "Drunken Immortal Building" three simple and vigorous characters.

Sure enough, the whole wooden building is painted with oil shiny and shiny, the light can be seen, and the huge stone lions that stand on both sides of the door are two meters high is even more powerful and extraordinary, full of momentum.

As soon as the group stopped in front of the Drunken Immortal Building, a young man dressed as a small maid immediately greeted them: "May I ask a few masters, is it to eat or stay in the hotel?" ”

"I eat and I live in a hotel." Kangdi said proudly.

"Okay, please wait." The little guy turned his head and clapped his hands, and immediately a few people came over and led Shang Tao and his group of horses around the back of this drunken immortal building.

"Masters, please come in." The little guy immediately led the way with his head respectfully, and his waist was almost bent down ninety degrees.

Those who can enter the Drunken Immortal Building to eat, which one is not the rich master, so the Drunken Immortal Building not only has nothing to say about the hardware, but also the service is also in place.

After respectfully leading Kang Di and his party into the richly decorated hall, the little servant asked again: "Masters, are you going to eat in the hall, or are you going to the private room?" ”

"Let's open a private room for us, and then you stick to us people and serve your signature dishes from the Drunken Immortal Building."

"Okay, sir, wait a minute." Xiao Wu turned around and shouted, "Xiao Cui, you take a few masters to the Lotus Hall." ”

Then the little maid said to Kang Di again: "Those masters, I'm going to arrange food and first-class rooms for you, I don't know how many rooms you need to open?" ”

Kang Di calculated for a moment and said, "Let's open six rooms first, and I want a room on the top floor where you can watch the night view." ”

"Okay, let's do it for the little ones." After the little guy finished speaking, he respectfully turned around and left.

"Masters, please come with me." At this time, the girl named Xiaocui had already walked in front of everyone, and then politely led everyone towards the box on the second floor.
