Chapter 20: Plains House
After leaving Siming County, Wang Liang had an idea in his heart, he recalled the route that Chenghuang said, and did not rush to the mountain gate of Huxingzong, but turned his head and went east.
It was the location of the Pingyuan Mansion, the governing capital of the Marquis of Dongfeng.
This plain mansion is composed of a large city, three county towns and more than 20 villages, occupying the most fertile land in Dongfeng Town, and also occupies the transportation artery of the entire Dongfeng Town.
The capital city of Pingyuan Mansion is the administrative center of the entire Dongfeng Town, more than half of this city is Dongfeng Hou Mansion, and the rest is a variety of functional buildings, such as barracks, granaries, worship houses, family temples and the like, the city wall of 20 meters high ensures that even if Pingyuan Mansion is surrounded, it can also block the attack of three or five thousand people.
The other three county towns surround the plain mansion in the middle in the shape of a pinzig, and the role of these three counties is also quite clear, which is Wen County, where the officials of Dongfeng Town live and work, Wu County, where the army of Dongfeng Town lives, and Shang County, which is used for foreign exchanges and transactions in peacetime.
Because of the characteristics of these three counties, there is only one county town open to the outside world, Shang County.
Wang Liang rode a bronze war horse and rushed here from Siming County in an hour.
When he saw Shang County from afar, Wang Liang knew that there were masters in Dongfenghou's family.
The location of Shang County in front of me is quite good, the county seat is built on the edge of a river, and the boats coming and going on the river are full of goods, and near Shang County is a straight avenue, those roads are all paved with bluestone slabs, and the big road can allow three carriages to go side by side.
However, the people of Shang County are very strictly managed, and the carriage is only allowed to go back and forth side by side, and there is more open space for ordinary people to walk.
Wang Liang rode a bronze war horse and walked on this road, feeling quite brisk.
However, when he arrived at the gate of Shang County, Wang Liang encountered some trouble.
This Shang County is a commercial city, and taxes are required to enter and exit the county.
Wang Liang didn't bring anything, only led a bronze-colored war horse, and was regarded as a horse dealer and collected a horse tax.
Although it was only less than three dollars of silver, Wang Liang always felt quite unhappy in his heart.
And Wang Liang believes that when he comes out, if he still brings a war horse, he will have to collect taxes again.
I don't know whose idea it was, no wonder the luck of the Dongfeng Hou family has weakened a lot, which is clearly digging the roots of the Dongfeng Hou family.
However, Wang Liang didn't say much, and after entering Shang County, Wang Liang looked around.
This Shang County is a county seat for business, and the streets are all shops, and the place where people live is after the shops.
Wang Liang glanced at it and saw the layout here, the county seat is divided into four areas: east, west, north and south.
The eastern area is the area where they entered, which is the area with the strongest commercial atmosphere, and it is also close to the city gate, where all the shops are open, and all kinds of goods are put in the shops for sale.
The west area is close to the river, where there is a dock area and a warehouse area, and the things unloaded from the ship can be quickly transported to the warehouse, and the contents of the warehouse can be quickly loaded and transported away.
The southern area is the main cargo area, where some of the big trades are carried out, and at the same time, several markets in the county are arranged here, and important special effects such as horse markets, weapons, and food can only be sold here.
The northern district is his administrative area, although there is no county order in this Shang County, but Dongfeng Hou still sent a steward to manage here, and at the same time there is a patrol force of two hundred people and three worshippers here.
Wang Liang noticed that there was no such thing as a city god in this Shang County, but on the other side of the northern district, there was some yin qi wafting, which seemed to be some means of the Dongfeng Hou Mansion.
Wang Liang thought for a while, and then walked around the North District from afar.
He paid attention to some details, in the northern district of this Shang County, in addition to the stewards of the Dongfeng Hou family, there were also stewards or manpower of other forces, and they should have been sent to stay here permanently, in order to control important materials when necessary.
The Dongfeng Marquis Mansion seemed to ignore the existence of these forces, did not manage or arrange their residences, and did not monitor them, as if they were all ordinary people.
For such a thing, Wang Liang is still somewhat confused.
According to his idea, if he was the manager of Shang County, he would definitely arrange the personnel sent by other forces to the designated place, and then send some people to monitor them.
At least they won't be allowed to move freely like they are in front of them.
But that was Dongfenghou's business, Wang Liang had no reason to care too much, he turned around, and then came to the front of the worship center in the northern district.
Before coming, Wang Liang had heard that in the current society, there is still a saying of worship and doorman, each family has its own doorman and worship, and at the same time, in the family's land, it is also built in the corresponding worship place and doorman.
Of course, there is also a difference between the worship and the doorman, but the specific difference is not too big, at most it is the difference in authority and status, and Wang Liang didn't argue much.
He went directly to the door of the worship house, took out a name sticker, and handed it to the gatekeeper.
Wang Liang's name sticker was made casually on the way he came.
Fortunately, this kind of thing has not changed much after thousands of years, and Wang Liang originally had his own exclusive name sticker, which could represent his identity or something.
It didn't take too long to make it all over again.
As long as there are materials, Wang Liang can make one at hand.
After handing over the name sticker to Menzi, Wang Liang said calmly, "I want to see your offerings. ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Liang added: "Any one is fine." ”
"What are you doing when you see our house worshipping?" Menzi glanced at Wang Liang up and down, and he could see that Wang Liang was not an ordinary person, but where his responsibilities were, he still asked more.
"I heard that Dongfeng Hou is the most powerful monk in Dongfeng Town, and I want to ask the monk to deal with some things, so I found this place."
Wang Liang's words are reasonable, this kind of thing to help people out, Dongfeng Hou's worship is not that he has not done it, but because they usually make a lot of extra money by doing these things, they are very happy to do this.
As soon as he heard Wang Liang's explanation, Menzi glanced at Wang Liang.
"You wait."
After saying that, he went in and invited someone.
Wang Liang didn't say anything, just stood at the door and waited.
At this time, Wang Liang noticed that someone nearby was probing his brain and looking at him.
Wang Liang also understood that Dongfeng Hou didn't care about the intelligence here, and it was impossible for other forces not to care, and the appearance of such a fresh face as Wang Liang would naturally attract the attention of some people.
Fortunately, the worship center didn't let Wang Liang wait long, and three or five minutes later, with a loud laugh, a white fat Taoist priest came out and brought Wang Liang into the worship center.
