The relationship between Green Water City and Black Rock City is not ordinarily close, because the two cities are connected by road, six hundred miles is only three hundred kilometers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Blackstone now has a top speed of 30 kilometers per hour, which is still full of cargo. Empty cars are faster.

The convenience of transportation breaks the geographical barrier, and a large number of tractors transport goods to Green Water City every day, and then pull raw materials from Green Water City back to Black Rock City.

Green Water City has surpassed Black Dragon City, and it is also the largest transit point for Black Rock City's foreign trade.

The sects and landlords of Green Water City acted as agents for the goods of Black Rock City, and they made a lot of money.

Due to the great increase in taxes, and the effectiveness of the Great Wall of Black Rock City in resisting demon beasts, Zheng Yun, the city lord of Green Water City, even followed the example of Black Rock City to start a police system.

This is the first time that Blackstone City has exported its system, and as for the cultural export, it is more obvious, operas, novels, songs, etc., and of course newspapers are no exception.

The merchants, sects, scholars, and landlords of Greenwater City would read newspapers, one was to learn about the latest situation in Black Rock City, and to grasp business opportunities, and the other was to have fun.

As for the readers, at first they disdained the vernacular of the newspaper, but the vernacular was very useful for the popularization of knowledge, and some of the articles and novels were of high artistic content, and they were gradually accepted by the readers, and some even contributed articles to the Huaxia Newspaper.

Zheng Yun even thought about whether he would take some scholars to visit Black Rock City in the summer, but he heard that the new school in Black Rock City was doing very well, and he also wanted to carry out reform experiments in Green Water City.

In short, as the exchange deepened, Blackstone City began to influence Greenwater City in all aspects, and this impact was positive.

And when Shang Ape set off to return to Wangcheng and passed through Green Water City, as expected, the report from Huaxia Newspaper also came to Green Water City, and it had a great impact.

Everywhere he went, there were people discussing things about Black Dragon City and Sun Xiao.

"Alas, have you heard about it? The people of Black Dragon City are living miserably, and there are many unjust cases!"

"It's really fake, I heard that the city lord of Black Dragon City is just a little greedy for money. ”

", brother, you just came out of the crime, right? The money-greedy city lord of Black Dragon City was assassinated, and now the supreme commander is Sun Xiao, the general of the border guards. ”

"Then why is this Sun Xiao so lawless?

"Wang Fa, then Sun Xiao was sent by the Mingyue Sect and the emperor to our Wei King to make trouble, I heard last year that in his fortress city, hundreds of thousands of people were killed and fed to demon beasts. ”

"Yes, yes, I remember this, I also heard that this Sun Xiao and his military division are as good as Longyang, and I heard that this time he was also assassinated. ”

"Alas, it may be the military advisor assassinated by the city lord of Black Dragon City, Sun Xiao occupied Black Dragon City by the way in order to avenge the military advisor. ”

"Yes, yes, that makes sense, for sure. ”

"Don't talk about you, the tractor from Black Rock City is here, follow me to unload, the old rule, five yuan for a car"

While a few laborers were chatting in the teahouse, a big man shouted to a few people.

Obviously, the big man and the laborers knew each other, and as soon as the laborers heard that there was a job, they stopped chatting and left one after another.

Shang Ape sat on the second floor drinking tea, and heard the conversation of several people clearly, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "This folk rumor is really getting more and more outrageous, and Sun Xiao has become a good dragon and yang in just six hundred miles, if he arrives in the imperial capital, it is estimated that Sun Xiao will become a demon who eats people and does not spit out bones."

Is this what kind of public opinion war the third brother is talking about? It's a bit interesting. ”

After talking to himself, Shang Ape checked out and left, after all, he was still in a hurry to return to Wangcheng, he was only passing by when he came to Green Water City, so this time he was not in a hurry to reveal his identity.

Out of the city, Shang Ape found a tractor to go to Wangcheng, gave some renminbi and lay on the tractor and left.

Shang Ape left, but the rumors about Black Dragon City and Sun Xiao in Green Water City did not stop, and even spread outside the image through external merchants and sects.

Finally, the people in Green Water City couldn't sit still, these people had the world in mind one by one, and when they heard that this had happened in Black Dragon City, they asked to visit the city lord Zheng Yun, asking him to write to King Wei and impeach Sun Xiao for all official positions.

Zheng Yun is the old city lord after all, so of course he can deal with this kind of thing, and immediately wrote a letter of advice in front of some scholars, which calmed down the incident.

As mentioned earlier, the sects and merchants of Green Water City sold the goods of Blackstone City to other cities.

However, due to the limited super power and transportation problems, the goods are generally sold out before they reach Wangcheng.

But there is one thing that sells far away, and that is old newspapers.

Although Shang Weiyang improved papermaking technology three years ago, paper was quickly popularized in the Qin Dynasty.

However, the improvement of content has not increased much, that is, there are few new books produced except for the previous classic books of bamboo slips.

Although the newspaper is a record of the current affairs of Black Rock City, and even has some political intentions, it is still a little interesting for the people in other places, plus the serialized novels in the newspaper, and foreign literati sometimes bid to buy them.

Therefore, the one-time reading materials such as newspapers were later collected and sorted, and some people even went to Black Rock City to buy them.

Green Water City can often hear the sound of collecting newspapers in the streets and alleys, "Collect newspapers, all five cents, cut three cents." ”

The whole sheet is a whole newspaper, and the cut sheet is what is left after the novel is serialized and bound into a book.

And due to the small circulation in the early days, the newspaper clippings even had a collectible value.

Therefore, the newspapers about the Black Dragon City were scattered to other cities through these merchants.

Half a month later, almost half of the Wei King's fiefdom knew what Sun Xiao had done, including Sun Xiao himself.

"Shang Weiyang bullied people too much, and actually slandered me, am I really a good bully?" Sun Xiao was angry after reading the report about him, and directly tore the newspaper to shreds.

"General, although this is slander and slander against you, the city is already full of turmoil, and more and more people are asking to leave the city at the city gate every day. The chief soldier of the city defense army reported to Sun Xiao in fear.

"Isn't it martial law? Why did the news spread so quickly? Is someone making trouble?"

"General Qiyu, my subordinates have investigated and found that there are indeed people behind the trouble, but... But..."

"But what?" Sun Xiao glared angrily at the chief soldier of the city defense army.

Frightened, he hurriedly said, "However, the investigation of his subordinates found that almost all the sects and landlords of Black Dragon City were involved..."

"Is that reasonable, are they going to rebel? Aren't they afraid of my 500,000 troops?"

"The general was angry, the general was angry, and his subordinates investigated and learned that it was actually because martial law affected their business, so they joined forces to put pressure.

These people are deeply entrenched in Black Dragon City, and their combined total strength can reach 200,000, which is not a small number.

Now that Black Rock City has bad intentions, we must not mess with ourselves. ”

Although the commander-in-chief of the city defense army indulged his subordinates in their misdeeds, they still had some ability.

After Sun Xiao heard his explanation, his anger disappeared a little. If you think about it carefully, it is right that during this time, relying on martial law, he monopolized most of the wool and cotton business, and also encircled a lot of land, and the backlash of these people is reasonable, just now he was just confused by Shang Weiyang's newspaper.

Thinking of this, Sun Xiao immediately ordered, "Martial law is lifted, the curfew continues, by the way, behead me the garbage in your city defense army!"

Since they have already made a move, how can I not return the salute? Inform the steppe tribes that this time we will attack the city and make a big vote. ”

"Uh... General, I'm afraid you don't know yet, now that the grassland is in turmoil, the grassland people have no other thoughts at all. ”

After hearing the news, Sun Xiao frowned and instinctively felt a hint of conspiracy, and hurriedly asked, "Because of what?

"Your ranch is fine, but the war is also because you have a strong allocation of pasture, which has upset the balance, and now everyone is grabbing territory. ”

"I see, what a bunch of rubbish, inform the Fortress City to make up 100,000 soldiers, oh no, 200,000 to assemble in the direction of Black Rock City, I will wait for them there. ”

"Yes, then I'll quit if it's nothing. Sun Xiao waved his hand impatiently, and the general soldiers of the city defense army retreated.

Early the next morning, the martial law that lasted for more than a month finally ended, and Sun Xiao also issued a notice in the name of the supreme governor: The accidental death of Zhao Guanhai, the city lord of Black Dragon City, has been basically investigated, and martial law will be lifted from now on, and officials who violate the law and discipline during the martial law period will be severely punished.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the heads of the people who were killed at the gate of the city were rolling. But even this has only slowed down the exodus.

Some people even said that because the beheader was covered with a white cloth at the time, he was a substitute for the dead ghost, and the real offender had already escaped by boat.

But Sun Xiao didn't care about these, what he had to do now was to order good soldiers and horses, pretend to be bandits, and go to Black Rock City to plunder.
