Chapter 278: I'm in the Slums

Huahe South Road is a wide main road in the south of Yujing City, which can not only be used for pedestrians, but also for a large number of cars.

In addition, there are two tram tracks on the main road, and when the tram passes, a horn is sounded to warn passers-by. On both sides of the main road, there are high-end shops, such as coffee shops, high-end clothing stores, banks, office buildings, etc., all gathered here.

On the streets of the main road, many of the people passing through are people wearing expensive costumes.

Of course, the vast majority of people are ordinary people, and they are dressed very ordinarily, and they are all people who make money and eat on Huahe South Road.

"It's like the scene of Shanghai during the Republic of China!"

"Very prosperous!"

Ouyang, who was sitting in the car with a small black bridge, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the lively scene on Huahe South Road through the window glass. But at the same time, deep down, there was a different discovery, which made the brows furrowed.

"Brigadier, what's the matter?" Xu Tian asked.

"It's okay, it's just a little emotional!" Ouyang replied undeniably.

In the black small bridge car, in addition to Ouyang who was sitting in the back row, there were two other people, Lei Zhan who was driving the car, and Xu Tian who was sitting in the co-pilot seat.

"Emotion?"

Xu Tian said lightly: "The brigade commander saw that this place was extremely prosperous, and he thought of the barrenness of our Qingbei. ”

"That's right, the territory of the same Tang Empire, our two cities of Luoshui and Liuzhou in Qingbei, compared to the capital of the country, Yujing, is really too far and too far apart!" Ouyang said.

Of course, there is no way to compare!

Yujing City is the capital of the Tang Empire!

It is the political, economic, and cultural center of the entire Tang Empire, even if the empire is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, but the capital is still the capital, not to mention the barren Luoshui and Liuzhou cities, and Maoling, the capital city of Qingchuan Province, is far less prosperous than Yujing City.

The good name of Bai Yujing in the sky is definitely not an empty word.

"Xu Tian, Lei Zhan, in fact, what I sigh is not the barrenness of our Qingbei, but the sigh of how long this prosperous jade capital can enjoy peace!"

Ouyang sighed: "The civil war is together, there are beacons everywhere, where is there still a prosperous world?" ”

Xu Tian and Lei Zhan were silent.

~~~~~

Soon.

Under Ouyang's instructions, the black car crossed the crowded and lively Huahe South Road, drove through two more streets, and entered a place called Xiaguan.

"This, this, this~~~!"

As soon as they arrived here, whether it was Ouyang, Xu Tian and Lei Zhan, they were all stunned when they stood at the entrance of Xiaguan.

"It's a slum!"

As far as the eye can see, there are all low houses, and the houses are still very dilapidated.

When it was far away, the car stopped.

It must also stop!

Because it's so narrow and broken, it's so messy that cars can't get in.

"Brigade Commander, are you sure Vice Minister Ran asked you to come here?" Lei Zhan exclaimed.

Ouyang nodded, "This is it!" ”

"Really?" Lei Zhan let out another exclamation.

Xu Tian on the side did not speak, but his dignified face also revealed deep surprise.

No wonder Lei Zhan and Xu Tian were so surprised, it was really too broken in this place!

It is the most barren area in Qingbei, and it is not so dilapidated, it can only be described by the word "rotten", where is the place where people can live? Not to mention living here, even standing in here will feel disgusting!

Ran Ciyan, the only bloodline of the head of state, the dignified deputy minister of defense of the empire, and the general of the imperial army, will be in this now?

"What the hell is going on?"

"Why is it in such a place?"

At this moment, Ouyang's heart was heavy.

Speaking of slums, Ouyang has seen a lot, but a place like the one in front of him that is so rotten is really only seen in his life.

"Brigade Commander Ou~~!"

At this moment, in the broken alley, a man in his 30s was wearing a neat military uniform.

is a lieutenant colonel officer!

The person came to salute Ouyang: "Brigade Commander Ou, I am the section chief of the three departments and one section of the Ministry of National Defense, you can call me Huang San, I am ordered to greet you here!" ”

Ouyang returned a military salute.

"Brigade Commander Ou, Vice Minister Ran is inside, come with me." Lieutenant Colonel Huang said.

After finishing speaking, he walked inside with Ouyang Sanren with a surprised face. Of course, it must be on foot, because the small alley is so narrow that cars can't get in at all.

~~~~

Entering the alley, Ouyang's mood became heavier and heavier.

It's so broken here!

The people in the alley are all poor, and the clothes on their bodies are all in tatters, as if they have not been washed for a long time; Even if some people's clothes look clean, the white and yellow traces of washing are enough to show that the clothes have been worn for a long time.

Lieutenant Colonel Huang led Ouyang inside, and kept making introductions.

"Brigade Commander Ou, you have been in Qingbei for a long time, I guess you haven't seen such a scene behind the bustling capital Yujing City."

"Yes, the Qingbei territory is very barren, but the people of every family have at least one decent house."

"But if you look at this place, look at the tens of thousands of households on the border of this lower pass, you will know what it means to be miserable."

"The houses here are very dilapidated, and even some families are in this kind of dilapidated house, and if you put one on the corner of the stairs, you can count it as a family."

"And living in it, every year, no, a lot of people starve to death every day."

"Oh yes, Brigadier Ou, I saw you wearing a watch just now, good guy, if I'm not mistaken, this is a famous watch of the Frost Moon Empire, it's really a good thing, just your watch, you can buy a large house here!"

Lieutenant Colonel Huang, who was 30 years old, every time he said a word, Ouyang's heart was deeply stabbed.

Shimonoseki, this place is not visible from the map at all, but it actually exists.

This is a dilapidated place that many people of the Tang Empire don't want to mention and don't know.

Tens of thousands of families live here, with a population of more than 50,000.

They eat smelly food, live in dilapidated houses, get up early and work day and night, hoping to eat enough one day.

As for what battles the country has won and how much land it has gained, for them, they don't care at all!

They just want to have a good meal!

Along the way, Ouyang and the others bypassed all kinds of private construction, all kinds of garbage, cardboard boxes, everything, and the smell emitted was even more evil, but Ouyang's heart has always been heavy.

The head is buzzing.

~~~~

"Now, Brigade Commander Ou, let's get to the ground, Vice Minister Ran is waiting for you on the second and a half floors, you can go up."

Lieutenant Colonel Huang pointed to a small three-story dilapidated building and said, waking Ouyang up from his contemplation.

Ran Ciyan is on the second floor and a half?

The so-called second and a half floors are such a place at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, with windows and doors, which can be regarded as a room and rented to the poor.

Xu Tian and Lei Zhan did not go up, but waited downstairs with Lieutenant Colonel Huang.

"Da! Da! Da! ”

Ouyang raised his legs and walked up the stairs, his heart even heavier. Because it was getting late and there were no lights in the corridor, it was almost dark all around, and only some things could be faintly seen.

Ten seconds later.

The second floor is half here!

Sure enough, at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, such a small house was built privately.

Pushing open the door, Ouyang found that there was a small light bulb in the room, similar to a date, at most about 5 watts. The small light bulb is a little bright, but it is of little use.

Leaning against the corner, there was a so-called thing that resembled a bed.

The house was a mess, full of cardboard boxes, with iron wires hanging on them, clothes hanging on the wires, everything on the ground, pots and vegetables, and an iron stove, and the house was in chaos.

Ran Ciyan was sitting on top of this bed-like thing, and next to her stood a woman in military uniform, as for her face and age, Ouyang couldn't see clearly.

Because it's so dark here!

"Ouyang, you must not have thought that there is such a place in the prosperous Jade Capital City." Ran Ciyan smiled lightly.
