Chapter 243: An Ordinary Member
"What a change here!"
After a fat year at home, Zheng Fei, who came to the Xianxia world again, stood on the street of Taiping Town, watching the people coming and going on the road, and sighed.
Although Zheng Fei and the others have only been away for less than a month, the changes in Taiping Town are also extremely obvious.
The original Taiping Town is already very modern, because Wang Zhao brought a large number of modern goods, and gave his subordinates good treatment, resulting in the residents of the town have chosen to take refuge in Wang Zhao, become Wang Zhao's lords, in order to obtain Wang Zhao's various material benefits, and then the town's big households were destroyed by Xue Feng's theft, since then, there are few families in the entire Taiping Town that are not for Wang Zhao's life.
The residents of Taiping Town, wearing green military coats on their bodies, and labor protection shoes on their feet, are wearing labor protection clothing, which is very wear-resistant and strong, and the poor people who could not guarantee food and clothing have since lived a life of worry-free food and clothing, living and working in peace and contentment.
At that time, the residents of Taiping Town thought that they had caught up with the good time, and working under Wang Xianshi was like entering heaven, which could be regarded as a lifetime of happiness. Unexpectedly, since the Chinese New Year, I don't know where a large number of strange people came from, and when they arrived in the field outside Taiping Town, they built houses, dug foundations, and built roads.
The townspeople inquired curiously, but they heard that they were all the king's subordinates, and they all came from some foreign country to settle here.
The townspeople don't care, now in this world, demons are raging, the people are not living, the whole Qingzhou Xuzhou is sparsely populated, some people want to come to Taiping Town to live, or Wang Xianshi's subordinates, that is their own people, where is there a reason for opposition, and then those people build roads and build houses are insufficient, Wang Zhao gave an order, everyone can go to the construction site to help, every day of work, you can get a day's wages, you can use the wages you receive to buy goods in the town, now, the people of the entire Taiping Town are crazy, Almost all of them went to work on the construction site so that they could get paid to buy the coveted treasures.
Wang Zhao opened a few shops in Taiping Town, there are a lot of good things that the townspeople covet, such as kitchen knives, iron pots, refined salt, hoes, etc., are good things of excellent quality, in the past, the townspeople shaved in the soil, there was no monetary income at all, for those good things can only look at drooling, it is completely unaffordable, now you can get a lot of wages for a few days on the construction site, and then you can buy those things, this is too cost-effective!
The hard work of the residents of the town, and the income obtained after half a month's work, have made great changes in the lives of the townspeople, and the whole town has also undergone new changes.
I think that at the beginning, when Wang Zhao and they just came to Taiping Town, it was a dilapidated town, although it was a very original ancient scene, very Tang style and Song Yun style, the wall and brick, the first floor and the pavilion, the alley paved with rubble, the wharf made of bluestone slabs, and the mottled green eaves and white walls, and the vermilion wooden pillars with paint off, were all so ancient remnants, bleak and displaced, and everything was so real, if it was seen by scholars who studied history and folklore, they would be ecstatic.
However, such a town is by no means suitable for living, especially not suitable for modern people, there is not even electric light, it is too backward, if modern people do not have computers and networks, it is really unbearable! At the beginning, Wang Zhao abducted Zheng Fei and them, because there was no network here, Gao Mingwei and He Jianguo couldn't stand it, and relied on a large number of novels stored in advance on their mobile phones to pass the time.
And now, not to mention the solar street lamps standing on both sides of the road, the people are smiling and wandering, and the road in the town has also been paved with a layer of cement, turned into a cement road, the cement road winds away, extending to the outside of the town, it is said that it has been in this short twenty days, extending to dozens of miles away, with Taiping Town as the center, the newly built road spreads out like a spider web, bringing earth-shaking changes to the road traffic here. At the same time, it also improves the base belt construction and infrastructure construction of the modern crossing army.
In Taiping Town, although most of the houses and temples that are considered valuable by modern scholars have been preserved, there are still a large number of slum kilns that have been demolished and rebuilt, and those poor people who originally lived in the slums have been relocated to the newly built residential areas outside the town.
It can be said that in the nearly a year after the arrival of Wang Zhao, the lives of the residents of Taiping Town have undergone earth-shaking changes, and Taiping Town has also changed a lot, but what really makes Zheng Fei feel the most is that there are many modern people in Taiping Town, and the changes brought to Taiping Town by a large number of modern people who come and go in Taiping Town are obvious.
In the past 20 days, Wang Zhao has brought more than 8,000 modern people to the other world, half of whom are soldiers, most of the rest are construction workers and grassroots cadres, and some are all kinds of scholars and researchers, among those scholars, there are astronomers, geographers, hydraulics, physicists, etc., but some are historians and folklorists, these people have to run back and forth in Taiping Town in order to study ancient architecture, humanities, various antiques, calligraphy and painting, Some of them also rode bicycles, turning a dilapidated town into a crowded bazaar.
Zheng Fei and the others couldn't help but feel quite strange when they saw that there were scribes in green clothes and long sleeves, merchants in short clothes and green robes, and strange-looking goblins in Taiping Town, mixed with old men on bicycles.
This style of painting is wrong! Zheng Fei and the others looked at the somewhat unfamiliar town in front of them, and they were very emotional, they inquired around, and then took their big bags and walked out towards their residence outside the town. They have been assigned tasks by Wang Zhao, and in the future, they will still participate in the construction of the base and the expansion of residential areas, and after work, they can set up stalls on both sides of the road to sell all kinds of goods brought by modern times.
As they walked, they felt the changes in the town even more, not only were there often modern people coming and going on the road, but they also saw all kinds of vehicles passing by from time to time, and everyone saw not only the most common trucks, but also saw seeders, tractors and military vehicles, turning the original antique town into a strange and unharmonious scene.
Whenever a vehicle passes, it will attract a lot of people's attention, and some outsiders who have just come to Taiping Town will even be frightened, Zheng Fei and they saw with their own eyes a white-clothed knife man wearing a hat and carrying a backpack to Taiping Town, but a bulldozer came to him, and he jumped out of the road with a frightened sound, and then drew his knife and concentrated, as if facing a great enemy.
Fortunately, the bulldozer drove slowly in the clattering sound, and there was no superfluous action for the man at all, and the man watched the strange steel chariot go away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, put the knife back in the sheath, and stepped on the cement road again, and entered Taiping Town.
Zheng Fei They were a little funny, and a little novel, with a complicated mood to the camp where they worked, it seems that Taiping Town has changed, and it is no longer the original state of only a dozen people who travel through it, now there are thousands of visitors from modern society gathered here, Zheng Fei They are no longer special, they are now just ordinary members of the crossing army.
