Chapter 417: An Unexpected Station
The mission arrived at the location of the post station much faster than expected, and I heard that it was a rather large post station, and Hua Mian thought about how big a town it would be, only to find that it was only a small village.
There is a complex of buildings in the village that is incompatible with the whole village, and this is probably the legendary post station.
"It's strange that this is just such a small village, how can there be such a large post station? Who would have come to such a remote place? ”
Hua Mian leaned on the window frame of the car and looked at a house not far ahead, this is already close to the junction of the two countries, it stands to reason that this kind of place is either an important commercial town or a border town, but the village in front of him is not touched on either side.
"I can't figure out what the purpose of building such a big post station in such a place is? What does this post station rely on to maintain its operation? Hua Mian couldn't help but sigh.
"My sister wants to do so much, and the problem of horizontal and vertical is not something we should consider, since someone built it for us to live," Xiaocui said.
Hua Mian thinks about it, this is indeed the truth, maybe in the previous world, out of various considerations of economic development, the choice of considerations in line with local characteristics, but this country is already a completely different world, and it is impossible to judge with the scope of knowledge that has been mastered before.
Since this is the case, it is not surprising, as long as you don't use your own solidified knowledge to understand the world, many people or things that seem unreasonable will suddenly become normal, and when you think of this, Hua Mian's heart is much more relaxed, and those problems that have not been clear since the beginning of Sikong Mansion can be understood at once.
"Huh? It's weird."
Xiao Cui's words pulled Hua Mian out of her own thoughts, "Strange? What's wrong? Isn't it just a village with a huge post station? It's okay to accept this kind of building in such a place, what's so strange.
"The people of this village didn't seem surprised at all by our arrival"
Hua Mian looked in the direction Xiao Cui was looking at when she spoke, and there were villagers working in twos and threes as far as her eyes could see, such a long convoy came over, and it was a luxury carriage and a Xuanjia guard, but there was nothing that could attract their attention.
It seems strange that the carriage in which Hua Mian was riding passed by these villagers working in the fields without even raising their heads, so they should be said to have become accustomed to it. Or is it fearless?
From the outside of the village, the buildings in the village have the appearance of Hui-style buildings, and the high white walls are really rare in this kind of small border village near the north.
The village is not big, the post house is in the middle of the village, the buildings in the village are radial around the post house, when the carriage that Hua Mian took just arrived at the entrance of the village, His Royal Highness Eleventh at the front of the team has already arrived at the door of the post house.
There were less than ten people standing at the door of such a huge post house, led by a young woman, who looked about the same age as Hua Mian, and the attitude of welcoming the mission was neither humble nor arrogant, and the arrangements were also orderly, not at all like the temperament that people can have in such a remote village far from the imperial city.
Seeing her reception, Sikong Xiao and Sikong Yue invariably remembered a person, who was the sixth child in their family, Sikong Yu.
