"Give them the knife!" A voice sounded, and the female guard threw the knife in her hand to the ground and retreated.

The soldiers at the sentry picked up their knives and placed them with the rest of the caravan's weapons. The soldiers in the line behind turned and returned to the house.

It was the eldest princess Uliangha who shouted, and when the female guard clashed with the sentry, she found that she wanted to see the reaction speed of the security army, and she would not suffer with the skills of the guard. I didn't expect the soldiers at the security guard post to react so quickly, not only set up the formation, but also two people with muskets in the back to press the formation, the musket is too evil, no matter how good your kung fu is, you can't stop it. Seeing that things were not going well, the eldest princess stopped her guards.

The merchant beside Gui Yingcha breathed a sigh of relief, although it was winter, and the merchant's cheeks were already sweating with anxiety. patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, the eldest princess gave the order, otherwise this girl would be in danger." ”

Gui Yingcha asked suspiciously, "Do they really dare to attack a girl?" ”

"Of course you dare, it's best to listen to the soldiers' orders in Fugu City, otherwise the soldiers will really do it." "It's a little too cruel, a little girl has to be beaten." Gui Yingcha was very angry. "This is not cruel, the marshal of the security army said, it is difficult to make a circle without rules, everything is based on the rules, these soldiers are the defenders of the rules, and they must obey the orders of the soldiers on the spot, if there is a problem, you can say afterwards, if you can't control the violators on the spot, the unlucky ones are still the people who abide by the rules.

Looking at the muskets in the hands of the soldiers at the sentry post, Gui Yingcha hurriedly ordered all the guards of the caravan not to act rashly, and handed over all the weapons to the sentry, so as not to cause chaos before entering the city.

After handing in the weapons, it was not the end of the war, and behind the checkpoint was the tax collector of the security army, where the tax collectors collected taxes, and the items entering Fugu Castle were taxed according to their value, and then tax stamps were issued.

The eldest princess, who was still a little angry because of what happened just now, said: "The Han people's government is a virtue, and they have begun to collect taxes before they enter the city, and they have been exploited layer by layer, and what will be left when the transaction is over." ”

"It's not like that." In order to prevent the eldest princess from causing anything to happen because she was angry, the merchant hurriedly explained: "This tax is only collected once, keep the tax stamps, and if someone checks them, they will not collect any more taxes, and besides, they will not collect much." The tax stamps indicate the types and quantities of goods, and if you feel that there is too much tax, you can go to the yamen to tell the person who issued the invoice, and his name will be written on the tax stamp. ”

Only then did Princess Celestia notice that the tax collector had to sign every tax stamp. It seems that there really is such a rule.

After waiting for a long time, they finally got all the tax stamps, Gui Yingcha and the others were finally able to enter the city, and no one checked at the city gate anymore, and the group entered the city smoothly.

As soon as she entered the city gate, the eldest princess found a strange thing, how the road in this Fugu county town was black, and there was a special feeling when the horse's hooves stepped on it. The guards also discovered the strangeness of this road, and the curious guards dismounted to check the road surface, and stepped on it with their feet, the road surface was not as hard as the stone road, but it was stronger than the dirt road, and no matter how much they stepped on it, they did not look broken.

At this time, the passers-by saw their appearance and knew that they had seen this kind of road for the first time, so they smiled and said to the guard: "Don't make any effort, this road will not be broken if it is overwhelmed." "What is this road made of, so strong." The guards sincerely asked. "This is a road built of asphalt and stones pulled by our handsome from Yanchang, which is not only strong but also waterproof, there will be no mud in rain and snow, and there will be no sticky shoes. Passers-by are very proud that their county has such a road. "What is asphalt?" The guard's ensuing questioning dealt a severe blow to the emotions of the passer-by, who found himself talking to a man who didn't understand anything, and the ignorance of the other party undermined his pride.

Passers-by said helplessly: "Asphalt is the slag from oil, you don't understand it if you talk too much, just know that this is a good thing." “

This asphalt road is indeed beneficial, as soon as the eldest princess and others entered the city, they already felt that the whole city was much cleaner, and there was no flying dust, and the road surface should be often cleaned. It looks very clean. There are also drainage ditches on both sides of the road, which are supposed to be prepared for rain.

The eldest princess had a new feeling for Zhang Chu: this person is rich, and it is not a small expense to pave the whole city with this kind of road.

The caravan came to the commercial street in the north of the city, where there was a special freight yard, where the goods were stored, the horses were fed with fodder, and the people found an inn to stay next to.

The innkeeper was very excited to see so many people come to his shop, a few days ago, the trade route was broken, and the hotel had no customers, the boss thought that he was going to lose all his money, at this time Zhang Chu led the troops to eliminate the robbers, and the trade route was opened again, and more and more people came to stay here, how could the boss not be happy.

The owner was kind enough to arrange rooms for everyone in the caravan. The best house, of course, should be given to the princess.

The eldest princess Uliangha walked into the upper room of the hotel with the female guard, and was quite satisfied with the room, although it was not very luxurious, but it was also very clean. After running on the grassland for a few days, the eldest princess felt covered in dirt, so she ordered the female guard to find a man to prepare hot water to clean herself, which is the practice of the poor in Mongolia who only take a bath twice in her life. As a member of the royal family, the eldest princess usually pays attention to her cleanliness and hygiene.

The female guard soon returned, but did not bring hot water.

The eldest princess was about to reprimand the guard for being lazy, but the female guard saw what she meant, and said with a smile: "Eldest princess, don't worry, if you want to take a bath, there is a good place to take a bath, a new room for bathing is built in the hotel, what is it called a bathroom, everyone goes to take a bath there." "You're letting me take a shower in a room with the others?" Princess Celestia was even more angry. "It's not like that, there is a special private room for the guests who go to the room, and you are the only one who can use it." The female guard hurriedly explained. "Then take me to see it." The eldest princess was satisfied.

When I came to a very private room in the backyard of the inn, there was already a woman waiting there.

Seeing the eldest princess coming, she hurriedly saluted and said, "The hot water is ready, please come inside." “

Princess Celestia entered the house with curiosity, she had never seen a room dedicated to bathing.

The room was steaming hot, and a pool was filled with hot water. The woman introduced to the eldest princess: "You can take a bath in the pool here, if you are not used to it, there is a shower here, and the hot water will pour down when you pull this handle, but be careful not to get burned, the water is too hot or too cold and call me to come in and adjust it." “

Looking at these strange things, Princess Celestia asked, "Where did this method of bathing come from?" In the past, Fugu didn't have any of these things. "You're right, these are unprecedented things, they didn't come from somewhere, our handsome Zhang Chu got them to the sky, and then popularized them to benefit the people."

The eldest princess didn't expect that taking a bath would be associated with Zhang Chu.

The little girl, who was always shy, told everyone to retreat, and the eldest princess took it upon herself to strip naked and went under the shower to let the warm water wash over her body, and the dirt that had been sticking to the prairie these days was taken away.

She soaked herself in the hot tub, and the feeling of relaxation made the fatigue disappear at once.

It's really comfortable to take a bath like this, I didn't expect that Zhang Chu really had some ghost ideas, and he would really enjoy it.

The eldest princess stroked her body, and suddenly felt that something was not right, how could she think of a man naked, it was too shameful. (To be continued.) )
