Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Sorrow of the Old City (Ask for Recommendation and Collection)

Just like the name of Juguan Castle, Juguan Castle used to be a pass.

It was the first front line against the enemy in the Demon God Era.

Of course, with the victory of the war later, the pass was originally transformed from the front line into a logistics supply center.

This is also why the castle still exists today.

As far as Lin Yuan knew, there weren't many cities in the whole of Liyue, including Liyue's capital, Liyue Harbor, and there were only a dozen or twenty cities in the whole of Liyue.

Most of them are still like the Juguan City in front of them, which are rebuilt from the front-line passes.

When I first entered the city, the breath of a border fortress came to my face.

The city seems to be still stuck in the time of the sake war, with few inhabitants and a few children playing in the streets.

For the arrival of the Lin Family Chamber of Commerce, not only was he vigilant, but he was even very curious.

casually gave a few pieces of candy to the children watching the convoy, and the person in charge of the convoy turned around and looked at the young master beside him.

"Juguan City has not been prosperous for a long time, as far as I know, most of the cities in China are like the current Juguan City, lifeless, and most of the people who still stay in Juguan City are old people and children."

As the words of the person in charge fell, Lin Yuan instantly understood.

Empty nest old town.

But Lin Yuan still didn't understand, how could Liyue have a population of tens of millions, except for the capital Liyue Harbor, which is scattered all over the world, how could this Guancheng become an empty nest old city?

You know, Liyue Harbor is not small, but it's not too big.

Liyue Harbor has a particularly strong geographical advantage, being built directly on the seashore, but the topography of Liyue Harbor is also a failure, and the topography of Liyue Harbor is destined to make much adjustment after the opening of Liyue Harbor.

Facing the sea on one side and surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are only a few roads connecting the other directions.

If there is an accident or if war breaks out, once Liyue Harbor is hit, the entire territory of Liyue will be greatly affected.

As if sensing Lin Yuan's doubts.

The person in charge shook his head.

"Nowadays, most of the people have gone to the city to work, and our Liyue is prosperous, but Liyue Harbor alone occupies seven or eight out of ten, whether it is going to the sea, into the mountains, or working on the docks, there are as many people as you come."

The person in charge was also a little frustrated as he spoke.

He traveled north and south for many years, dug wildly, went to sea, and also traveled to many places as a businessman.

Liyue's current situation is nothing more than a drain on the country's resources to support the capital.

It doesn't matter if Liyue Harbor can accommodate so many people, but Liyue Harbor can't.

Due to the natural geographical environment, you can't dig mountains or reclaim the sea.

However, as a city, Juguan City is still a little popular, so that it will not be reduced to a dead city.

Although it is an empty nest old city, Juguan City has never been abolished, so the Lin family still has a foothold in this city.

"The supply of the convoy will bother you."

The person in charge of the team who was blessed said to the person in charge of the Lin family in Juguan City.

"So, Childe really came with the convoy?"

The person in charge of Juguan City didn't care about the request from the person in charge of the team, in fact, all the convoys of the Lin Family Chamber of Commerce were supplied by people in the city when they passed through the cities where the Lin family set up a business.

The leader of the team did not speak, neither acknowledging nor refusing, but looked up at the person in charge of Juguan City in front of him.

Most of the Lin family's manpower was retired from the sea.

However, if you take the sea route, you will not be able to avoid the danger, and it is even more serious than the situation on land.

At sea, Daddy Lin has thousands of subordinates, and he is also the main force of the Lin family, but it is impossible not to have a situation where seafarers cannot continue to sail for various reasons.

Uncle Ye, the housekeeper of the Lin family, is like this, and so is the person in charge of the team now, and even the person in charge of Juguan City.

Even, the person in charge of the team and the person in charge of Juguan City knew each other on the ship, and the relationship was very good.

Seeing that the person in charge of the team did not speak, the person in charge of Juguan City was anxious.

Although he is in charge of the Lin family's business in one city, in fact, most of Liyue's old city is in the same situation as Juguan City.

Even, the status of these responsible persons may not be as good as that of businessmen.

After all, with Liyue as the headquarters, the merchants are more or less able to meet the young and old Lin family.

"You're getting getting old."

The team leader gave him a smug look, but eventually nodded.

Before he had time to make the person in charge of Juguan City happy, the head of the team spoke.

"The young master is here this time because he has something important to do, and the destination of our convoy is also Mondstadt, so you can take care of it yourself."

After saying that, the team leader immediately turned around and left.

As a retainer and subordinate of the Lin family, the team leader knows what to say and what not to say.

Although he is no longer at sea, the position of the person in charge of the land fleet is still very important, at least every year it will appear in the financial reports of the Lin family's own statistics.

Like the person in charge of Juguan City, his status is actually not low, after all, he is in charge of a city alone.

But they are not in Liyue Harbor after all, as the saying goes, one place of feng shui nourishes one place.

Originally, the person in charge of Juguan City was also very excited, and he served as the captain of a ship's escort in the Lin family's fleet.

But with the retirement of the city was arranged in Juguan City, it seems that it was gradually affected by the twilight atmosphere of Juguan City.

That's why the team leader would say that the person in front of him is old.

The person in charge of Juguan City can understand the idea of the team leader, because both of them were originally from Juguan City.

Seeing that Juguan City was in the twilight, how could the person in charge of Juguan City not take it to heart.

If Lin Yuan can take a fancy to it, Juguan City will have a bit of life.

Not to mention the city, the Lin family can take out the money to build a city alone.

It's just that it's so easy to save a city?

Lin Yuan was walking alone on the street, it was obviously summer, but the wind blowing in him had a feeling of loneliness.

It's like walking in late autumn.

Lin Yuan didn't really have much to do with Juguan City, after all, he had been in Liyue Harbor before.

The prosperity of Liyue Harbor is not comparable to that of Juguan City.

Compared to Liyue Harbor, Juguan City is like an old man in the twilight of his life, and the population of the entire city is estimated to have dropped to less than a few tens of thousands.

Most of them are elderly.

After all, the castle was not originally built for human habitation.

Not to mention Liyue Harbor, most of the cities in Liyue are better than those in Juguan.

At the very least, the location of Juguan City is very awkward, with plains on all sides, no mountains in front and no water in the back, and even Liyue's old bank can't do it.

Since Juguan City is not far from Liyue Harbor, it is better for passers-by to take some time to go to the more prosperous Liyue Harbor rather than enter the city.

Perhaps this is the sadness of the old city.
