Gusu City, one of the most prosperous cities in Wuhou.

Because of its proximity to the Yangtze River, the frequent exchanges between Gusu and the towns along the Yangtze River, coupled with the local land resources of Wuhou's governance, and the encouragement of industry and commerce, made Gusu develop rapidly in just a few years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the business and travel exchanges are endless, and there is a prosperous scene.

The prosperity of towns and cities means huge interests, and huge interests will naturally attract the covetousness of certain people and forces.

Recently, the number of people in Gusu City has increased.

Places such as wine mouths and inns are full of high-rollers who drink wine and eat meat in large bowls, and they all have a rough and atmospheric voice, so that people know that they are not easy to mess with at first sight.

"Ma, everything here in Gusu is good, and the food is not worse than Yangzhou!"

At the wine table in the corner of a tavern, several Jianghu men gathered around to eat and drink, one of them picked up the tender meat fried to golden butter crisp on the plate, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it with a look of enjoyment, picked up the wine glass and poured the rice wine that was a specialty of Gusu in his mouth, sighed with satisfaction and said loudly: "But it's not good here!" ”

"What's wrong?"

The Jianghu men at the same table also ate slowly, their faces were flushed and not moisturized, and a cup of sweet and delicious rice wine was in their stomachs, they were really happy like gods.

"I think the life here in Gusu is so nourishing that I don't want to leave!"

This is true, and it also attracted the same table and the surrounding Jianghu men to echo loudly.

Gusu City is prosperous, whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation are quite good, compared to the Yangtze River to Yangzhou, which is controlled by Yang Guang, the king of the Jin Dynasty, it is not bad at all, and even a little more relaxed.

King Yangguang of Jin is sitting in Yangzhou, there must be a little brother by his side, and there is a forbidden army escort from the northern Guanzhong, the power of Yangzhou City is in the hands of the northerners, which is not a good thing for the head snake, and it will naturally have an impact on the atmosphere in the city.

Gusu City does not have such a problem, as one of the prosperous cities of Wu Houling, the goods on the market are very rich, there are local specialties of silk and satin, and more are the specialties of the whole south, which can be seen here.

Fruits like Lingnan, as well as specialties from other places in the south, can be seen in the Gusu market.

In addition, Wuhou Leihu is very concerned about the people's livelihood, and in addition to overhauling farmland and water conservancy facilities to increase production, he has also vigorously encouraged the non-governmental organizations and the production and construction corps to engage in breeding and animal husbandry, and the results are quite good.

Lei Hu put forward the method of recyclable breeding, according to the principle of natural circulation of heaven, that is, the modern scientific three-dimensional breeding, according to the unique geographical environment and weather conditions of the territory, made a lot of ecological farms, and easily solved the problem of eating meat for most of the people in the territory.

This is rare, not that the people of this era cannot afford to eat meat, but that there is not enough meat supply.

At this time, the north was the territory of the Turks, and the relationship between the Great Sui and the Turks was not very good, and the situation of the two great antagonism was that the number of cattle and sheep from the north had always been limited.

Although the current Great Sui has entered a period of peaceful development, except for Wu Houling, who has basically solved the problem of food and clothing, the people in other places are still struggling with food and clothing.

According to the resource utilization rate of the Great Sui, the area of cultivated land, and the total population, it is not a problem to let all the people have food and clothing.

The cultivated land area of the Great Sui and the degree of development of the territory are much stronger than those in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but the population is only about half of that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so it is not so difficult to have enough food for the common people.

It's a pity that most of the resources in the north and south, such as fields and the like, belong to the gate valve family, and the people, who occupy the majority of the population, don't have much land, so they can barely eat.

It is said that Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty is really amazing, and the prosperity of the emperor is not blown out, and when the queen is opened, not only the national strength is thriving, but the living standards of the people have also been greatly improved, and this ability is absolutely powerful.

But right now, the men of the rivers and lakes who are used to going south and north have a very high evaluation of Gusu City, because the final level of food and clothing is not much better than that of the prosperous cities in the north.

As long as you don't have to be stupid, this situation is quite remarkable.

Don't mention the gossip, let's go back to the high-minded Jianghu men in the tavern, only to hear the man who took the lead in speaking dissatisfied: "The food here is very good, but there is no gambling house and Qinglou, Lao Tzu has been holding back for many days and has not vented properly!" ”

Ha ha......

There was a burst of laughter in the tavern, but this man's words went to the hearts of many of the men here.

The men of the rivers and lakes walk the rivers and lakes, and they are willing to take risks in order to become famous, and then live a rich and glorious life, so naturally they must be accompanied by wine.

Gusu City is also strange, whether it is food, clothing and housing, it is very exquisite, as long as you have money, you can enjoy the best treatment.

It's a pity that there are no green buildings and gambling houses here, which is quite a fly in the ointment.

You must know that most of the men in the rivers and lakes like to gamble a few times when they have nothing to do, and they also go to the building to be merry and happy, in order to vent the excess energy in their bodies and hearts.

Gusu City is also a rare prosperous and splendid place in the south, and it is really strange that there are no two kinds of money that come quickly.

Of course, it's not that there are people in the rivers and lakes who want to be the first to eat crabs.

It turned out to be quite depressing, and they couldn't find a way out at all.

A man who runs the rivers and lakes, who doesn't know that he wants to make a fortune in a certain place, but the local snake can't bypass the threshold, and a bad one may even get killed because of it.

Therefore, all experienced players in the rivers and lakes will honestly worship the dock when they go to a place, and they must make it clear to the local snake what they want to do, so as not to have a conflict of interest in the future.

Gusu City is very different, there are no local gangs here, and the power of the government in the city is also very limited, and the real authority is in the hands of the garrison and the Narauszi Production and Construction Corps.

It is a bit reluctant for them to deal with the government, let alone the garrison and the production and construction corps, which are already powerful institutions.

In particular, the Nalaoshizi Production and Construction Corps, as long as they understand the rules under the rule of Wu Hou, they know that if they want to do Qinglou and gambling house business in Gusu, without the consent of the local commander of the Production and Construction Corps, even if the garrison general agrees.

What outsiders can't understand is that the control of the people in the urban area by the Nalaoshzi Production and Construction Corps has reached an outrageous level.

The people of every neighborhood are busy every day under the leadership of the commander of the production and construction corps, which is incredible in the eyes of outsiders.

The city is very prosperous, as long as you are diligent and willing to work, it is easy to do a small business to support your family, and if you are lucky, you can even make a fortune.

But every day, the people in the neighborhood have to complete the work and exercise stipulated by the Production and Construction Corps before they have their own free time, and it is a miracle that such a strong constraint has not caused a backlash.

How did they know that when the military rebellion broke down, the order of production and life in Gusu collapsed, if it were not for Lei Hu's forcible restraint in the mode of the production and construction corps, so that the chaotic situation ended quickly, this is the current prosperity of Gusu City.

With the previous experience, although the life of the people in the urban area is getting better and better, none of them are disgusted with the constraints of the production and construction corps, who can say that this is not a kind of protection?

Work together every day, exercise together, not to mention the harmony between neighbors, but whenever there is any change in the family, the surrounding neighbors will come forward to help as soon as possible.

In this world of masters, it is clear that this is a special mode of protection.

Unless you are a lone thief, you have to weigh the consequences of exposure if you want to do anything to the people in the city.

These are obviously not understood by the people who have come to the outside recently.

Some forces who wanted to open a green house and a gambling house in Gusu City did not act rashly because they were confused and fearful.

This is the scene of a low-level charlatan in the tavern, drinking and complaining.

Saying that the atmosphere in the tavern was warm, and a group of high-rollers expressed their doubts in their hearts, they came to Gusu City not long ago, but many things here made them a little confused.

"It's really strange to say, the people in the city, whether they are old or young, are full of qi and blood, as if they have practiced external skills for many years!"

A drinker said with a puzzled face: "But I see that they have no traces of martial arts, which is really strange." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Another drinker sighed: "With their physical condition, if they practice external skills, I am afraid that they will get twice the result with half the effort, and they will soon be able to achieve a small success!" ”

"Yes, yes!"

The third drinker smiled and said, "If there is a master of external martial arts who comes here to recruit disciples and establish a faction, I am afraid that it will not prosper?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy tavern suddenly fell silent.

These words have reached the hearts of the people present.

They worked tirelessly to come to the territory of Wuhou, although they didn't expect that the living environment here was quite good, but they all came with ambitions in their hearts.

Not to mention opening a sect, at least opening a martial arts hall is also a good thing.

Gusu is prosperous, even if you can open a martial arts hall, you can live a very nourishing life.

As for the more ambitious, want to dominate a city or a place, monopolize the gray and black business in this area, and are also quite satisfied with the environment here in Gusu, the physical fitness of the people here is good, and when the forces develop in the future, they can accept and absorb some of them.

"Hey, have you noticed?"

At this time, someone in the tavern suddenly spoke, breaking the rare silence: "It's rare to see young people in Gusu City!" ”

These words reminded the heroes here that the situation in Gusu City is very different from other places in the north and south.

"What do you care about so much?"

But some drinkers disagreed: "In three days, the Water Dragon Gang will set up a flag in the city, let's go over and watch the excitement!" ”

"That's right, anyway, everything has a high top, let's just go with the flow!"
