Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

For the Northern Dynasties, the Pingcheng of Anyi County in the past was the place of Longxing of the Northern Dynasties, and the capital was built here for 97 years before Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital to Luoyang.

In order to resist the attack of the grassland tribes, Gong Wei Pingcheng, the Northern Wei Dynasty set up six towns here, Tun was guarded by heavy soldiers, after the six towns mutinied, Pingcheng was divided into scorched land, and the people of the six towns were also forced to move south. The land of the former famous Six Towns is also deserted, but the ruins are still there.

Li Chongjiu and Li Hu, after coming out of the Great Wall of Yanmen County, traveled all the way north, and the ruins of the six towns can occasionally be seen along the way.

You must know that Yanmen County of the Sui Dynasty has a very wide jurisdiction, according to the official statement of the Great Sui, it almost reaches the foot of Yin Mountain, but in fact, after leaving the Great Wall, the control power of the Great Sui is already very small.

Different from the Badaling brick and stone structure of the Great Wall seen in the future, this section of Yanmen County is basically rammed with loess, so it looks like an earthy yellow dragon from a distance, coiled between the mountains and mountains.

This section of the Great Wall is a section of the defense system built by the Northern Wei Dynasty to defend the Pingcheng City. Later, Emperor Gao Yang of Qi Wenxuan mobilized more than one million people to build it again, roughly determining the scale of today's eastern section of the Great Wall.

This section of the Great Wall was built so solidly that it could be said that after the founding of the Great Sui, it was basically only busy building the western section of the Great Wall, and only repaired the eastern section a few times.

Covered with winter snow, Li Hu, Li Chongjiu and a group of more than a dozen people rode horses, braving the heavy snow to the northeast.

When the Great Wall is 100 miles away, it is covered by white peaks, and the scenery of the mountains and mountains changes.

When I looked up, there was a very high hillside, and it seemed that I could not see the end at a glance. Li Hu smiled when he saw this, and said to Li Chongjiu: "We have reached the ground." ”

Speaking of which, Li Hu and Li Chongjiu both dismounted, and the rest of the people also led the horses and led the horses up.

The slope was extremely gentle, the snow was very deep, and the horses couldn't stop whimpering, Li Chongjiu struggled to pull the reins of the horse, and could only climb on it step by step, and the horses couldn't go up the mountain anymore halfway through.

So Li Hu and Li Chongjiu had to order someone to lead the horse down the mountain, and the father and son took Tan Zong and several people who were physically strong and continued to go up the mountain.

Everyone was holding a wooden cane, and they were getting more and more tired of climbing, and Li Hu said to Li Chongjiu: "This slope is called a dam by people. ”

"Dam?"

Li Chongjiu suddenly thought that the grassland tribes generally called the mountains dam, and the dam refers to the transition zone from the plain to the plateau.

I don't know how long it took to climb, but everyone climbed over this long steep slope and reached the top of the slope, and then the scenery in front of them changed again.

The north wind was howling so hard that people could not open their eyes, and the peaks on all sides were like clusters, and the higher places above the high slopes, a vast plain, and dense birch forests, spread like a white carpet to the peaks from in front of them.

Several streams and rivers on the ground have long since frozen into ice. Not far away, there was a large ice sheet, and apparently below it was a large glacial lake, which could not be seen as far as the eye could see, and was almost connected with the white of the sky.

Li Hu said to Li Chongjiu: "This ice lake, Xi people call it, Angu Linao, when the weather warms up and the ice and snow melt, there will be countless wild geese moored on the water, and the water can catch an arm-long big fish." ”

Li Chongjiu asked Li Hu, "Then this is the place you said, Dad." ”

Li Hu smiled and said, "Not yet, let's go east a little further!" ”

After that, the group walked a long way in the ice and snow, and the snow was submerged on the stomach of the feet, and one footprint went down, and you could see that the grass under the feet was all under the feet, which showed that if the snow melted, this must be a vast grassland.

The people had a hard time, and when they were cold and thirsty, they took up the bad wine from their skins, poured it into their stomachs, and walked a little further south, and looked at an abandoned city in the distance, and when they came to it, they appeared in the bottom of their eyes.

The sheep and horse walls around the periphery, the black fire piers, the protruding horse faces on the city walls, and the half-collapsed mud and gray tile roof in the city still seem to tell the bloody battles of this city, and the wind blows everyone as if they have heard the sound of the golden iron horse in the past.

Li Hu pointed forward with his hand, and when he was about to introduce Li Chongjiu, Li Chongjiu nodded and said in a deep voice: "I know that this is Huaihuang Town (Note 2)!" ”

Huaihuang Town, one of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the past, this abandoned military city, was lying in front of Li Chongjiu.

Li Hu smiled and said: "Xiao Jiu, you see that this land chosen by my father is good, this is the only way for the Xi clan from Yanmen County to the grassland, and you can set up a dart bureau here in the future." ”

Li Hu couldn't help but smile, since listening to his son's opinion, in Yanmen County, Taiyuan County, one after another, open dart bureaus.

The business of the Li Family Dart Bureau is getting bigger and bigger, and on the road from Taiyuan County to Yanmen County, it is almost from once every few months, to once a month, once every ten days, and now a few days, and a speed of two or three days.

At present, he is not only responsible for darts, but also responsible for consignment of personal small goods, and even does the work of a postman.

Taiyuan County and Yanmen County have become the golden trade route of the Li Family Dart Bureau, of course, it is not only the Li Family Dart Bureau that benefits, together with the horse thieves, mountain thieves, and all kinds of green forest heroes who walk all year round on this road, they are also living a good life.

In the past, they lived by robbery, but now relying on the Li family's dart bureau and the annual filial piety money, they are enough to settle the family.

If it weren't for the extreme poverty, who would rebel, steal, rob, these bandits and horse thieves also maintained local order, did not let other bandit forces come in, carved up their business, in case of ruining their reputation, it would not be good.

At one time, the commercial road from Taiyuan County to Yanmen County, several nearby county seats, were actually Dazhi, and the road was not forgotten, but the crime rate of public security was greatly reduced.

The local county magistrate's examination of the official department has poked a good comment. Not only that, but the Li Family Dart Bureau provides full taxes every year, as well as gray income, which makes the county officials smile from ear to ear.

Even the county guards of Taiyuan County and Yanmen County also heard about the Li Family Dart Bureau.

Therefore, in the troubled times, when the government and the people were antagonistic everywhere, the entire state did not dare to mention it, and in Taiyuan and Yanmen, Li Hu could be described as black and white. In the eyes of the people, Li Hu is a figure who can reach the sky in the yamen, and Li Hu is a good citizen and a partner in the eyes of the officials.

As for the heroes of the green forest, Li Hu is a good man who can run horses on his arms, and he has to sell Li Hu three points of face in large and small realms. Whether it is in the officialdom or among the heroes of the green forest, the reputation is so good, and it is the first time in thousands of years.

Compared with the days when he was a bandit and was shouted and killed by the government at every turn, Li Hu is very happy now. Therefore, Li Hu is now opening a dart game, and he is addicted to it, so he decided to insert such a pole in Huaihuang Town, but this matter is also very risky.

Li Hu didn't make a decision immediately, so he called Li Chongjiu, who was still in Shaolin Temple, back, anyway, now that the wanted warrant has passed for three years, it is estimated that no one remembers, even if someone is looking for it, with Li Hu's current popularity in the yamen, it is not easy to get this little thing done. Now Li Hu is waiting for Li Chongjiu's opinion. Compared with his father's point of view, Li Chongjiu has more than a thousand years of knowledge, he always has to go the extra mile, for him, Huaihuang Town is not just a dart game.

Note 1: Jishang Saiwei, Taiping Zhenjun 7th year June Bingxu, Fasi, You, Ding, Hebei four prefectures 100,000 people, build Gi Shangsaiwei, from the upper valley, west to the river, vast are thousands of miles.

There is a saying that the upper part of the Great Wall is the inner Great Wall, but most of the sayings say that the upper is the meaning of the north, and the upper part of the city is north of Datong, so it is the outer Great Wall, not the inner Great Wall.

Note 2: Huaihuang Town is located in today's Zhangbei County, Hebei Province.
