Chapter 41: The Sealed Island
Regarding the city, Bai Jian also said something.
According to what he once learned, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, it was divided into 36 counties in the country, and the counties had jurisdiction over several or even dozens of counties. This is no different from the counties of the Han Dynasty that Liu Feng learned.
But then there is a difference, the township has a pavilion, and the li is good, but it is a hundred miles and a pavilion, a hundred miles and a hundred families (the "li" here is not the breadth of the region, but the grassroots government divided by the number of people), there is a pavilion, and the pavilion has a pavilion chief. The village is a place where the population is smaller than the "li", and the large village is only a mile, with a maximum of a few hundred people, which is the most basic organization.
The level of the town is equivalent to the pavilion and belongs to the township, although the township is called the township, it is already a small city, and the population of the large township is as high as hundreds of thousands. Above it is the county seat, with a population of one million in small counties and two million in large counties, which is a medium-sized city; The county towns above are large cities, while the imperial capital is a giant city. The number of counties under the jurisdiction of the county is not equal, if the population growth of a certain township reaches a certain standard, it can be reported to the imperial court, and the county can be placed in the county, so the household registration system is very strict, and the system in the county and township pavilions cannot be surpassed at all, which is the strict hierarchy of feudal society.
For example, li, that is, the village, can only be set up with wooden walls and fences, and only at the town level, that is, pavilions, can you build earthen walls, and when you reach the township, you can build real stone walls. The height of the earthen wall of the pavilion can not exceed 3 zhang, the stone wall of the township, that is, the small city is not more than 3 zhang, the county town is not more than 5 zhang, the county seat is not more than 7 zhang, and the highest imperial capital, the city wall is as high as nine zhang, which is daunting. However, this is only a theory, according to Bai Jian's understanding, it seems that Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Empire, has no city walls.
Once someone violates the forbidden law, they will be dealt a fatal blow, and the millions of iron horsemen of the Great Qin Empire are not decorations.
After listening to what Bai Jian said so much, Liu Feng somewhat had a certain understanding of the basic situation of this game world, but some situations were a little different from what he knew. For example, Bai Jian's account does not have the concept of a state city, but instead he thought that he walked out of this place that had been sealed for hundreds of years, just like a person in the Taoyuan world, who did not understand what happened after the Great Qin Empire, he suddenly did not correct his "mistakes", and planned to study it slowly in the future.
What's more, the local system that Bai Jian mentioned doesn't seem to match the place where he is located. For example, these people under Liu Feng don't have the concept of the township pavilion, they only know the concept of villages, towns and cities, and they only have the concepts of village heads, town heads, and city lords, but they don't know what Li Kui, pavilion chiefs, three elders, and wandering things are. At present, the player's strength is too weak, and the contact is all village-level characters, and I have not heard of that player who has been in contact with the "big man" in the game and understands the background of the game. The damn Shenlong company doesn't know how many times it has been scolded by players, but it doesn't reveal any news at all. It is likely that he will not understand why there is so much difference until he is out of the mountain.
And what made him even more depressed was that the large village that he was complacent about developing was actually just a small mile, which was the smallest local unit in the Han Empire, and if he wanted to become famous in China, he still had a long way to go!
"And the village chief, I have been traveling for twenty years, and I found that ......," Bai Jian hesitated a little, "I found that it seems that the place we are in is an isolated island, an isolated island that has been sealed. ”
"What?" Liu Feng was shocked, "You say more details, what is a 'sealed island'?" ”
Through Bai Jian's explanation, Liu Feng had a clear understanding of the place he was in.
After breaking out of the seal back then, he could never return here, and the unwilling Bai Jian wandered around, hoping to find any useful clues. Until one day, Bai Jian met a Taoist and knew that the place they were in was a sealed valley, and certain conditions needed to be met before it could be lifted. Disappointed, Bai Jian left the place and wandered around. This walk is nearly 20 years.
In the past 20 years, Bai Jian has traveled to every place here, from the east to the sea, to the west to the sea, to the south to the sea, and to the north to the sea, Bai Jian has almost measured the size of this island. From the original young man to today's calm middle age; His strength has also been improving, and he has gradually grown into a sixth-order peak master.
Bai Jian had expected to be on the island, and he didn't feel strange after confirming it, because there were rumors on his ancestors that he crossed the sea and settled on the island, which was also reasonable. It's just that what frightened Bai Jian was that he couldn't get out of this island.
Regardless of the direction he departed from, he could only go a hundred miles away at sea, and he seemed to be blocked by a layer of intangibles. He also asked many fishermen who grew up near the sea, but they couldn't tell me, after all, they didn't have to go that far to catch fish.
This discovery made Bai Jian angry-he couldn't imagine that after so many generations of sacrifices and hardships, he had just escaped from one cage, but stepped into another, bigger cage. In this way, what is the point of their pursuit from generation to generation, and what is the meaning of the sacrifice of so many of them! Could it be that it is just to let yourself understand that this is a sealed place, so you should stay well!
Liu Feng finally understood why there were so many differences between this place and the game world he knew. In the final analysis, this is a Jedi, and it does not obey the king, so no one knows what the court is and what the government is, and in their hearts, the city lord is a big man on the top.
So here, Liu Feng can play side balls, build city walls, school fields, military camps, etc. in advance, and the level of difficulties he faces is not high, and he is all bandits. If it is within the scope of the Han Empire, there will definitely be officers and soldiers who will suppress it with the power of thunder.
"You've traveled all over this island, how big is it, what is it?" After being surprised, Liu Feng asked about the key things again.
"It's not that big, but it's a county, and it's a relatively small county, thousands of miles from north to south, and hundreds of miles from east to west. I don't know exactly what this place is, but I don't know if I've heard what Yingzhou is. After all, I was born here, and I haven't been out before. "Bai Jian can't be sure.
"Yingzhou Island, that's the legendary fairy island, could it be here?" Liu Feng was skeptical. But if it's true, it should be above the East China Sea, near Qingzhou, and if you master the navy in the future, you can try it to the west. As for the so-called seal, Liu Feng believes that it has disappeared. Even if he doesn't, he will definitely disappear when he sets off, after all, the system will not give him a certain death.
"Since you've traveled all over the island, you should know what forces are on this island, right? How strong are they? ”
"According to the people here, there are four small cities on the whole island, there are no medium-sized cities or above, and they are distributed in four places, and the city of Aoshan near us is located in the northwest. More than ten years ago, Aoshan City was the strongest, with a population of more than 300,000 people, 60,000 or 70,000 troops, counting the city lord, there were two fourth-order generals and more than a dozen third-order generals. ”
However, the good times did not last long, and under great pressure, the other three cities had to unite against Aoshan City, so a three-year war broke out. The final result was the defeat of Aoshan City, the city lord was seriously injured, another fourth-order military general was killed in battle, and several third-order military generals were also killed in battle. However, fortunately, the other three forces are not monolithic, and Aoshan City has a chance to breathe and regain its vitality again. However, the war led to the withering of people's livelihood, and Aoshan City no longer had the grand occasion of the past. ”
"The city lord of Aoshan City has not recovered from his serious injuries, coupled with the blow order caused by the defeat of the war, he died of depression a few years ago. After the new lord ascended the throne, he thought that he was better than his father, and regarded his previous defeat as a shame, so he started another war, fought a year of war with a city, and finally returned with a feather, and then died down. ”
However, the new lord of the city was indeed inferior to his father, and in the early days of his reign, he wantonly excluded dissidents, causing panic in the hearts of the people. Moreover, he was arrogant and lascivious, and he was cruel, which made many people in Aoshan City very dissatisfied with him. After a long time, the combat effectiveness of the city guards of Aoshan City has greatly decreased, and although its reputation is still the same, it has already become the weakest side among the four cities. ”
"Nowadays, there are about five or six third-order generals in Aoshan City, and there are no fourth-order generals or above, and there are still thirty or forty thousand troops, but in fact, feeding 40,000 troops with a population of about 200,000 is already overloaded. Now the contradictions in Aoshan City have been suppressed, and once they break out, the consequences will ...... Hehe. ”
"I didn't expect you to be so clear about the strength of Aoshan City?" After making trouble for a long time, there is not even a county seat in such a big place, all of them are native turtles in the countryside, Liu Feng glanced at Bai Jian, "If you are asked to attack Aoshan City, how many people do you need?" ”
"The village chief really has a heart!" Bai Jianrao said meaningfully, "If I come, it is enough to have 10,000 soldiers who I personally train for a year!" "There is a strong sense of confidence in the words.
"Then go for it! You must know that Aoshan City is not only the thirty or forty thousand troops, but also the troops scattered in various towns and villages, and it is still early to take him! But I also believe that there will always be a day when we will sit in the city lord's mansion of Aoshan City. Liu Feng also became excited, "I also promise you that one day, I will take you out of this sealed island and swim in the great rivers and mountains." ”
"Go and call them all, arrange it, and tomorrow we will officially upgrade the small town!"
