Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Surplus Money Returns to the City
The reason why they stayed was because Nanling was still under the supervision of the military and the county government of Lingnan County, and the results had not yet been reached, so everyone's task was not over, but this had nothing to do with Xiao Zheng and the others, no matter what the result was, Xiao Zheng and the others could not share the things in it!
From Lingnan Mansion to Qiong Island, there are only two roads, Lingnan terrain is complex, which is the reason why Lingnan County is close to the South China Sea but can not be well developed, of course, this is also the reason why Guangyue County has not been fully developed, and there is still great potential when the Great Song Dynasty shifted the focus to the South China Sea Islands, so the population of Lingnan County is not more than 10 million, and they are all crowded in three places, located in the most inland Lingnan Mansion, the southernmost Linggang City, and the Yuqian City on the edge of the West Yellow River, That is, the one that Yunshang said at the beginning that the waterway entered Nanling
Speaking of the origin of Yu Qian City is still more commendable, I think this Yu Qian City is just a village fort, and although the West Yellow River is also the border between the Tang and Song dynasties, but the business exchanges are still relatively developed, but also because of the relationship between the two countries, most of the large, medium and small cities have put the goal of development on farming, giving birth to children and hunting beasts, of course, this is also related to traditional thinking, but this is not all, it is at this time Yu Qian City at that time Yu Qian Fort raised the strength of the whole village to do the good deeds of resettlement of soldiers who died in battle, There is no distinction between nationalities
This is really a good deed, even if people in other places at that time were very puzzled to see Yu Qian Bao do this, but this is respected for sure, and it was a time when the status of the soldiers was constantly improving, Yu Qian Fort's move not only really gained fame, but also received the goodwill of the military! Since then, even if the Tang and Song Dynasty battles have been fought here, both sides will refrain from doing so
In fact, the location of Yuqian City is not good, there are suitable ports on both sides of the West Yellow River, there are convenient transportation, there are large populations, and the terrain is flat, but Yuqian Fort has risen unconsciously
The first is to open the road, and it is certain that almost one-third of the road from Lingnan Fufu City to Yuqian City was more than 3,000 households in Yuqian Fort at that time, more than 100,000 people, old and young people went into battle, it took three years, the military knew, 200,000 troops marched in, and it took another year for Yuqian Fort to finally open a gallop road, the longest gallop road in Lingnan County at that time, the only gallop road in Lingnan County at that time
Yuqian Fort at that time from the fort really became a city, the appearance of Chidao instantly attracted the attention of countless people, and the original fort people of Yuqian City did two things, the first thing, built a martyr's shrine not to say the name, but the enshrinement inside is all the soldiers who died in this place, the military is in an uproar, this is a real admiration, for this martyr's shrine, the military directly stationed here 100,000 elites, and changed every year, only the real division of a hundred battles can be stationed again, not to mention safety
The second thing is that Yu Qian Cheng is willing to take in all the soldiers who have no relatives and no reason, or disabled soldiers, and be supported by Yu Qian City, and the royal family may let Yu Qian Cheng take away this good thing of buying people's hearts, and the Qian royal family will be out, and Yu Qian City will be responsible for raising it!
At this point, the future of Yuqian City can be described as bright and infinite!
Xiao Zheng and the others took three days to arrive at Yuqian City, and the current Yuqian City can be described as a real big city, with bluestone giant crossbows, and its defensive power is comparable to that of the county government! The most important thing is the terrain here, and the information that the five people learned about the Yuqian Fort at that time was surrounded by mountains, and it can be said that it is almost impossible to get out of the outer land of the mountains, but now, every hilltop around the giant city has built a fortress-like arrow fort or other defense facilities to defend Yuqian City, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the water is impassable!
Lin Yunqing and the others chuckled at the rumors and couldn't be trusted, but Xiao Zheng knew that it must be true! Lin Yunqing and Huang Zongxi, including Qin Wanru, would ignore these things, but how could Xiao Zheng ignore them?
There is a God's perspective that can actually be done by one person, and that is to look at a map!
Qiongdao has not been developed here, Lin Yunqing and others said that there may be some reasons for the underworld disaster, but this is also related to the fact that no one has found its exploitable place: there is a high mountain at the north and south ends of Qiongdao, the former is both high and has mountain springs gushing, although the latter is not half of the former, but it is enough to overlook the vast plain in the center of the entire Qiongdao...... Indeed, Xiao Zheng didn't know the specific situation, and the map was only a rough one, so Xiao Zheng deliberately let the big trees, rivers and lakes that were kept more than six people hugging each other not be cut down and destroyed without his own consent, just like the Yuqian City in front of him!
Xiao Zheng only relied on his original knowledge to understand this, and the one who built this Yuqian City was the real talent! Because he took all the surrounding environment into account, the original Yuqian Fort was naturally inconvenient to travel, and the surrounding hills were all barricades, but now? Not only is it not a barricade, but it has become the most favorable protection for Yuqian Fort!
"This surplus money city is built in a good atmosphere! It is not inferior to those county towns!" Everyone admired, this is inevitable, some don't believe in the past history, but now when this surplus money city really appears in front of everyone, is the previous doubt still important?
"That's right, and the people here are full of spirit, even more than those citizens in the county government!" Lin Yunqing is talking about those farmers who go out to farm, although there are not many places suitable for growing grain in Yuqian City, but farming is the obsession of the peasants, and it is necessary to plant land!
"Let's not talk about this, Brother Xiao, let's hurry up and find the Great Song military, the matter is settled first, naturally there is time to hang out!"
"Brother Yun is right, let's go first!" Huang Zongxi also nodded, and the group walked towards Yuqian City. Today's Yuqian City has neat streets, and the difference is not so big compared to other cities, the only difference is people!
The locals once said that the people in Yuqian City were protected by the dead soldiers, so they would be healthy and worry-free, but these people would definitely not believe it, not to mention that they would not believe in those ethereal things, but that they had been exercising since they were young in this city, and along the way, whether it was a school or a martial arts hall, there were many teenagers and children who practiced weapons and practiced fists and feet, which is obviously not comparable to other places, and Xiao Zheng is such a living example standing here, which can only show that thousands of years of habits have actually begun to change a long time ago!
In fact, the current Central Academy is no longer focused on only one part, but all-round training, the so-called only practicing boxing does not care about others, if you train your legs, you will completely give up practicing other traditions, at least Xiao Zheng has not seen much!
"Along the way, it seems that the children and teenagers of Da Song are no longer the same as my big man's practice methods!"
"It's different from Datang, it seems that you have practiced a little miscellaneous?"
"Uh, what do you mean by Brother Yun and Brother Huang?"
"Huh!" Lin Yunqing smiled and said, "Look at them, although the fists and feet are still separated, they are actually all practiced, and in the Han Dynasty, as long as it is a fist technique, then it will only be practiced to the extreme!
"Practicing to the extreme?" Xiao Zheng was stunned, a little puzzled.
"We know Xiao Gongzi's concept, but you are mainly based on even guns, that is, practice weapons, and fist and foot kung fu belong to Xi Ti, so naturally you don't know the focus of Xi Ti!" Qin Wanru said lightly, but she faintly meant that Xiao Zheng was responsible, which was rare, but Xiao Zheng really didn't understand
"Needless to say, this kind of thing is still fighting for the old guys, what are you talking about!" Huang Zongxi interrupted, and Xiao Zheng knew that there seemed to be some controversy about this thing, but Xiao Zheng was really a little curious, was there any difference?
"That is, there are fewer and fewer people who practice the body now, and the real people who practice the body can't live much, if there is no way to solve it, there will definitely be fewer and fewer in the future, and it is possible to break the inheritance!" Lin Yunqing also said with a smile, obviously playing a round.
"Well, that's what you're talking about!" Xiao Zheng was stunned, but in his heart, he was shocked that what he said in the camp could be passed on, and how many people knew at that time? Was it deliberately leaked by the emperor? Or did it happen to be heard and spread out?
"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's hurry up and find a place, we can't enter the barracks, it's up to Brother Xiao, let's go there earlier to solve the problem as soon as possible!" Huang Zongxi hugged Xiao Zheng, and then walked forward, and the matter was temporarily revealed
After almost inquiring, everyone wasted a lot of effort to know the location of the garrison, the garrison of Yuqian City was really outside the city, and the wharf where it was located was also an independent port, and it took about an hour to arrive at the garrison camp, Xiao Zheng did not reveal his identity, but just took out a letter stamped with the seal of Liao Wuchang as proof, but even so, Xiao Zheng was still invited into the camp, including Qin Wanru and others, none of them were bad!
"Brother Xiao, what's going on?" Lin Yunqing said in a low voice
"I don't know" Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly, but everyone still walked in, after all, this is the Great Song Dynasty military camp, there should be no danger, not to mention that Xiao Zheng has not shown his identity yet, how should he not be troubled, he walked in tremblingly, and even served a few cups of tea to a few people, the tea was served, it shouldn't be a bad thing!
