However, as a border city, even with these various factors, it did not affect the swift pace of the shopkeeper.

When it should be fast, it is fast, when it should be slow, those who can hide will hide, just look around, and the shopkeeper rushed to the city gate.

When he walked to the side of the city gate, the guards who were guarding saw the shopkeeper, and their eyes stayed on him, and they didn't leave.

The shopkeeper had long expected that there would be such a stubble, and he would definitely not be able to hide, so the two of them began to talk very deliberately.

"Yo, why did you wake up so early today?"

"Big brother, the owner of our inn, wants me to go out of the city today and go out to buy some things and come back, which is not available in this city. Didn't I get up earlier than before in order to be able to eat in his shop, did you have breakfast today? ”

The guard guarding the city gate was a middle-aged man with a big belly, and even if he was wearing certain clothes, he could not hide his bloat.

It is even more difficult to hide the state of middle-aged men who are sometimes sluggish and sometimes sloppy, which makes people look uncomfortable.

But obviously, the shopkeeper and this person are not too familiar, but at least they are familiar, they both know each other, and it is more natural to talk to each other.

He opened his mouth to say that it was a big brother, which also meant that it was not the first time for the two to talk, and the shopkeeper knew at a glance that he was not the kind of person who only knew how to serve tea and water all day long, whether it was in interpersonal communication or other aspects, he was stronger than ordinary people.

must have been very favored by the boss, and the guard brother at the door didn't have too much suspicion when he said this, but still looked at him.

With a tired face and no waking up, the guard brother actually looked at the shopkeeper with some lustful eyes.

As if he wanted to get something or benefit from the shopkeeper, the guard's response was also very straightforward.

"No, what's wrong? Can I help you? ”

The eldest brother of the guard looked arrogant, as if it was a particularly honorable thing not to eat breakfast, and he had to show off.

Even if he talks about it in front of others, he has a kind of big brother state, and the shopkeeper naturally doesn't dare to kick his nose in the face.

"In this way, that's really hard work, you are so conscientious every day, you come to the city gate so early to stand guard, and you have contributed to the safety of the people in the border city, and you have a heavy burden, and you haven't even had time to eat breakfast, I really admire it."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper walked over to the guard's eldest brother, with a harmless smile on his face.

When the guard brother heard this wave of rainbow farts from the shopkeeper, he naturally felt that it was quite good, very acceptable, and it was reasonable to accept it.

It seems that he is really such a person, and I don't know if he is often slapped by others, and he gradually becomes numb.

The eldest brother of the guard was not particularly interested in these words, and even if he was indeed on point, he did not contribute at all.

But it doesn't mean that these words can bring any benefit to the guard's eldest brother, or say something terrible.

"Okay, okay, don't say much about this nonsense, if you have something to say, say it quickly."

The eldest brother of the guard quickly interrupted the shopkeeper's words, as if he had not heard what he had said to himself before.

At the same time, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and it was still indifferent with some subtle throbbing, which was difficult to detect.

It seems that he wants to get a little benefit from the little second in this shop, but you must know that in a place like Border City, everyone is a person who has no money. Not only that, but even the prices in this place are lower than in other cities, and things are cheaper.

For example, in the imperial city, a very ordinary civilian family, even if the family does not have much money, it is impossible to be poor than them.

Besides, those who live around the Imperial City can be regarded as having received the benefits of the Emperor's grace, and it is impossible to be too poor.

It is impossible to really say where the poor are, in the surroundings of the imperial city, it is rare to see very poor people, it is simply difficult to find.

After all, the royal family was worried that if these neighboring families were too poor, the envoys of neighboring or ally countries would see them when they entered the city.

In this way, you will definitely not leave a good impression, and you will feel that Iraq is too cruel to the people, too poor to be on the cards.

This is also why the first emperors in the imperial city will always give some benefits and benefits to the surrounding people from time to time.

This is something that the people living in other cities cannot enjoy at all, and it is a unique honor of the cities around the imperial city.

This also makes it possible to do nothing even if you have a property belonging to your ancestors around the Imperial City.

As future generations, they will not starve to death in this place, and if they say it, they will definitely be spread rumors.

Living around the Imperial City and starving to death is simply detrimental to the face of the Imperial City, and if other countries hear about it, they will spread false rumors.

It is not just a matter of losing face, other countries will even begin to consider whether Iraq has the ability to become a strong country.

However, in the periphery of the Imperial City, there are naturally very strict and terrifying guards, different from the mediocre and mediocre people in this border city.

They are all masters of the imperial city, and they are the kind of families and civilians who know at a glance that they must be lazy.

will report it in time, and it is impossible for them to rely on their family's location to eat and wait for death next to the prime location of Iraq.

It is also impossible that because of some nepotism, those who can't get along in other places can still be lucky enough to go to such a place.

It is impossible to go to the periphery of the imperial city to beg for food, so it can only be said that it is enough to give them appropriate subsidies and drive them away.

All this was in Ivan's eyes, from the first day he left the imperial city, he knew that the world outside the city was so cruel.

It turned out that the poor and poor people didn't even have the qualifications to change their lives here, and he was powerless to change them, so he could only write them down.

And if you want to come to the Imperial City to beg, basically the end is a dead word, and most of the people end up starving to death.

Whether it is subjective or forced, the difference is too great, and many things are not clear in a few words.

The guards had long been instructed that it was impossible for them to have any possibility to damage or destroy the face of the Imperial City.

Everything will be prevented, and they will not be allowed to rush into the imperial city, which is an imperial city, not a garden.

As a result, many poor people, whether they have suffered from disasters or have been treated unfairly by officials.

If they want to come to the imperial city to appeal and find the first emperor to evaluate the theory, but due to various reasons, they can't even enter the imperial city at all, so it is impossible to feel any warmth of the country, even if the changes and improvements issued by the first emperor everywhere will not play a great role.
