Chapter 35 The traffic is full of people
The Xinghan Dynasty implemented a three-level system of state, city and county, and Shenzhou was divided into multiple cities, each of which was equivalent to the first- and second-tier cities in the impression of Huang Dahe, and the small cities were divided into counties under the banner of the city, and these counties were equivalent to the third- and fourth-tier cities in the impression of Huang Dahe.
But to be honest, Nangong County in front of Huang Dahe is already quite exaggerated in terms of the size of the city, riding on horseback, looking at the towering city wall from a distance of at least fifteen meters or more, and there is no end in sight.
And this seems to be a relatively small city in the Xinghan Dynasty, which makes it a little difficult for Huang Dahe to imagine the size of Xindu, the capital of Jizhou, as for how big Luoyang, the capital of the Xinghan Dynasty, Chu Daniu and Chu Feiye want to go to now, Huang Dahe no longer dares to imagine.
Moreover, the prosperity of the whole city was not only within the city walls, but also outside the city walls, and a large number of vassal buildings, in addition to some convenient trade markets, the most important thing was a large number of grain farms.
Most of these farms have the feeling of a futuristic world imagined by Huang Dahe, most of them are mechanized, large-scale planting, and even some self-managed machines are responsible for sprinkling water, fertilizing and other sundries.
Coupled with the use of high-grade greenhouses, the variety of food grown outside the city is dozens of times more than that of their remote villages, and the taste should be better.
However, even with these machines and technologies, ordinary rural areas simply cannot afford to buy machines, and can only use the most primitive human cultivation to grow food.
Moreover, according to Zhang Jiao, the various grains produced outside the city are basically just enough to supply the residents in and around the city, and the price is extremely expensive.
A green leafy vegetable grown in the greenhouse costs at least five yuan a catty, and a kind of white rice with a good taste even sells for thirty yuan a catty.
Don't look at this figure as it doesn't seem expensive, but the price level in this era is equivalent to one-tenth of the modern era where the Yellow River is located, and after conversion, it is unimaginable, even in the city, only the rich and noble in the city can afford to enjoy it.
Now Huang Dahe compares Zhang Jiao's backwardness and narrowness in the countryside, this Xinghan Dynasty really deduces resources to the extreme.
Only satisfying the needs of some people, while ignoring the suffering of most ordinary people, it is no wonder that the troubled times came so easily, and when they encountered a few years of famine, they simply did not let people live.
If Huang Dahe is not mistaken, there should be a big drought year in the next few years, and when the time comes, the Zhuang family will have no harvest, and Zhang Jiaoyan'er and their village will be even more sad.
Soon, Huang Dahe took Zhang Jiao and them to find a horse farm, because the horses in this era are mutated creatures, so even if someone can tame the ride, it is obviously impossible to enter the city.
So, in the area outside the city, there was a kind of shop dedicated to these mutant horses, and for a small fee, they could get a separate stable made of stone for these horses.
If you wish, there is generally accommodation for people next to the racecourse, but because it is outside the city, the environment is definitely not comparable to that in the city.
Unless it is a shy warrior, most of the people who can be qualified to ride horses will choose to go into the city to find a hotel to live in.
The current Huang Dahe can definitely be said to be not bad for money, so it is natural to enter the city.
What's more, Huang Dahe found that even near the county seat, the appearance of the three sisters of the Zhang family is outstanding, and along the way, Huang Dahe has seen many men looking at these three sisters, their eyes are green, and they can't wait to pop out their eyes, so that they can observe these three sisters more closely.
If it weren't for the aura of the Soul Refining Realm exuded on Zhang Jiao's body, these miscellaneous fish who were not even in the Soul Refining Realm would be afraid, and I am afraid that someone would have leaned on to tease them a long time ago.
So if he lives outside the city these days, he doesn't know what messy things will happen, and he still has to cultivate these days, so he doesn't have time to help Zhang Jiao's three sisters deal with the flies around them.
Not to mention, crushing those trash fish can be said to be no sense of accomplishment at all, and there is no benefit.
"So, you should stay here for the first time, if you want to escape, you should know the end, right?" Huang Dahe fox pretended to be a tiger and used Nanhua Master to intimidate Xiao Hei.
"Whew......" Xiao Hei yelled at Huang Dahe dissatisfiedly, but that's all it could do, it still understood the gap between itself and Nan Hua.
"I'll order you more delicious food, don't be polite, you don't have to save me money at all." Huang Dahe immediately said, in addition to providing rest, this horse farm naturally also supplies these mutated wild horses to eat, as long as it costs more,
And Huang Dahe was not stingy with his "BMW", and directly ordered the most high-grade food, according to the manager of the horse farm, there were also fresh monster meat and vegetables grown outside the city.
It can be said that this Pegasus is better than what he had eaten in the previous few days combined.
"Whoop......" Hearing Huang Dahe say this, Xiao Hei spewed out a breath from his nostrils with some disdain, as if he wanted to say to Huang Dahe Don't think that this little thing can bribe him, it doesn't eat this.
"Do you like to eat or not, I'm going to go into the city to eat something delicious now." Huang Dahe said with a smile.
The relationship between this person and a horse is really very weird, but it was originally a melon that was twisted together, and Huang Dahe was not in a hurry to establish a relationship with this Xiao Hei, anyway, after a long time, maybe the relationship between the two would be natural and good.
"Okay, let's go into the city, as if the gates will be closed when the sun goes down?" After getting rid of Xiao Hei, Huang Dahe walked out of the racecourse and joined Zhang Jiao and the four of them.
"Yes, let's hurry up, we're tired today, and we'll have to go again tomorrow."
"Don't worry, sharpen the knife and don't chop wood, stay in the city for the past two days, we will learn to ride a horse together, and it will be more convenient when we are in a hurry later." Huang Dahe shook his head.
"It's okay, anyway, there are still some days before the state combat academy's quarterly recruitment." Zhang Jiao nodded, since Huang Dahe said so, she couldn't refute it, after all, Huang Dahe is now her employer and has the absolute right to decide.
And in fact, she is just not too embarrassed to spend more money on Huang Dahe, staying in the city for an extra day is a ticket for nothing, especially in this county, all kinds of expenses are very expensive, maybe a few days will be worth her expenses in the previous year.
Soon, passing through the huge city gate, Huang Dahe was extremely surprised by the scenery he saw in front of him.
Although there are thousands of poor peasants and barren land outside, the whole city seems to be another era, another time and space.
The high attic, the long bluestone steps, and the endless flow of people on the avenue that stretches for miles in the city gate make the Yellow River feel like returning to the world and being in the bustling city.
