57. King Lanling enters the city
Sizhou.
On several official roads in the territory, several business brigades are hurrying forward.
Their goal is Luoyang County, the most desirable trade and economic center for most merchants in the Central Plains today.
"I heard that Luoyang County has changed to an enlightened county lord, and he actually allowed us merchants to trade freely!"
There were two horse-drawn carriages walking side by side, and two wealthy businessmen were smiling and talking through the window.
"Yes, Brother Liu, I also heard that the city treats us merchants and ordinary people equally! If that's the case, I'm going to settle there! ”
"After so many years of traveling, I also have this intention, if I can really stabilize, it is not impossible to settle down!"
The two looked forward with longing, their eyes full of urgency and excitement.
And on the official road where Jincheng County and Luoyang County meet, there is a carriage that is also about to enter Luoyang City.
Two people sat in the carriage.
At the head of the group is a young man wearing a bronze mask, he gestures with his hands and feet, showing a gentle and dignified body, and people can't help but think about what kind of face is under the mask.
Sitting next to him was a rather beautiful woman, who lifted the curtain, looked out a few times, and then lightly opened her lips and said, "Husband, you are about to enter the city." ”
"Hmm,"
The man nodded, "Along the way, I saw a lot of caravans rushing to this Luoyang City, which made me a little interested in this new Luoyang County Lord." ”
"Since the husband is interested in him, why don't you tell him in advance that we are coming and let him go out of the city to greet him?"
The woman seemed to have a little pride on her face, "The concubine heard that Luoyang County has just ended the war, and it is in need of recuperation, and the county lord is still an aborigine, and he sent someone to ask for an alliance with her husband a few days ago." ”
"So what?"
The man turned his head and stared straight at the woman, his tone was cold and flat, and he didn't know whether the expression under the mask was happy or sad.
"What do you want to say? Do you mean that you and I, as the Destiny One, are therefore nobler than him? So when you come to visit someone, do you need someone to come out in person to greet you? ”
No matter how stupid the woman is, she also knows that she said the wrong thing, and the man she provoked was unhappy, so she hurriedly hugged the man and said: "Ah, Brother Gao, it was the concubine who spoke nonsense, the concubine was wrong, is it okay for Brother Gao to forgive others?" ”
The man known as Brother Gao is naturally the county lord of Jincheng County today, Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling.
"Well, when you see someone, just don't open your mouth."
Gao Changgong turned his head to look out of the car window again, and didn't seem to be emotionally raised by the woman.
On both sides of the official road, there are endless wheat and rice fields, and groups of farmers are busy working in them, looking up from time to time to wipe off a handful of hot sweat, and their faces are filled with a smile of satisfaction with a good harvest.
And in the golden wheat field, the plump grains of wheat drooped down and seemed to hang down to the ground.
"This wheat is growing so well, it seems that this Luoyang County is a bumper harvest season this year!"
The woman seemed to feel that the man was interested in the grain field outside the window, and echoed ambiguously.
"It is good because the people who died in the war have been laid to rest in the ground and have become the nourishment of this wheat and rice."
Gao Changgong's tone under the mask was still emotionless, as if everything in the world was normal, and nothing could really touch his heart.
......
Soon, the carriage came to the gate of Luoyang County.
The king of Lanling motioned to the groom to park the car on the side of the road, and then asked the woman to take out the pass pass and hand it to the city guard.
In this chaotic era, if you want to go to other county towns, you must have a certificate.
As long as it is recorded by the county, a toll pass will be issued.
Without a certificate, it belongs to the displaced refugees, and it is impossible to enter the city through the city gate through the city guard.
"Are you also here for a business trip to the big trade market? Then follow the center road after three intersections and turn left to find an inn in Xicheng. ”
As a Destiny Being, King Lanling's keen perception has already captured the conversation between the woman and the city guard.
A big market for trade? What is that?
The woman also asked the city guard this question.
"Ah, it turned out to be a new caravan, you take it, this is a map of Luoyang County."
The city guard slapped his forehead, took out a scroll of maps stacked on his side and handed it to the woman, as if he saw that the woman was beautiful, and he talked a little more.
"Come to our Luoyang County, you have to have a map, Luoyang City is not better than before, the overall area after the reconstruction is four or five times larger, in order to prevent people from getting lost for the first time, the county lord provides a map of the whole city of Luoyang County free of charge to each newcomer."
"The map is printed with movable type, such as market shops and so on, and the latest trade market is in the middle of Xicheng."
"Ah, the big trade market is a place specially planned by the county lord in the city, where people can trade freely in exchange for goods or spend money and silver, in short, you don't have to worry about being deceived there, you can't enter the big market without being evaluated by the members of the evaluation department set up by Lord Si Zheng Jia Xu."
"I suggest that a beautiful woman like you must go to the big market, and the lord seems to have introduced some more silk made of silk, uh, black silk, and fishnet stockings this time, which were very well received by the people last time."
"As for if you also want to take root in the city to invest and do business, just follow the right path and go straight to the county lord's mansion, where there will be a special person to receive you, of course, if you don't have enough money, don't go to the trouble of yourself."
Wow, it's kind of interesting.
Gao Chang raised his head respectfully, and the overall atmosphere in the county seemed to be full of vitality.
"Okay, welcome into town, next!"
......
The carriage passed through the city gate and drove straight from the central avenue to the county lord's mansion.
The roads on both sides are filled with the smell of fireworks, and the streets are full of dazzling goods and shops of all kinds......
Everyone seems to have found their own place and value here, and is running around to live for it.
"I'm becoming more and more interested in this Fang Yi County Lord who only knows his name!"
King Lanling let out a rare sigh, and here, he felt a sense of being separated from the world......
When he first came to this world, Jincheng County was ruled by a brutal and unkind aboriginal county lord, who issued high taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which caused a miasma of smoke among the people.
And he also pulled up the men and horses, and through the war, he took Jincheng County, and has been preparing for the future war.
Arrange troops and practice offensive and defensive ......
He has always believed that this is the norm in this world of great controversy.
It wasn't until he came to Luoyang County that he was finally touched.
"Go and meet that county lord, let me see what kind of ruler he is!"
He smiled lightly, pulled the woman beside him, and stepped into the gate of the county lord's mansion.
It happened to be a woman in a red robe and holding a spear, full of heroism.
Under the unique perception of the Mandate of Heaven, Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, immediately realized that the other party was also a Mandate of Heaven.
As a matter of politeness, he took off his bronze mask, revealing a face that was handsome enough to captivate the whole city.
"Hello, I'm ......"
"What a beautiful sister! There is a woman who looks like this! ”
Qin Liangyu, who raised his head, saw Gao Changgong, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out.
"What... Sisters? ”
The king of Lanling was stunned in place, his eyes were in a trance, and he only felt a thunderbolt on a sunny day for a moment!
