Chapter 40: Young Jian Yong
There is no need to pay money to enter the city, and there is no entry fee in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As long as you don't carry a lot of carts, horses and goods, basically no one will stop you from entering the city.
In this era, you need to pay money to pass the checkpoint, which is basically equivalent to the highway toll station in later generations, which may be cheaper than the toll station.
There is a trading area in the city, and merchants can only buy and sell in the trading area, which is called a 'city', and enter the trading area to pay the merchant tax.
Entering the city, there is a large pavilion no less than ten meters high in the southeast of the city, and I think it should be Liu Yu's Assassin's Mansion there.
Most of the other buildings in the city are single and double-storey, with courtyards, single-family households, and streetside shops, with different specifications. But when you look at it, the planning is very well organized.
Yes, just looking at the buildings of this city, Liu Cang will not have to force himself to know how to survey, map and map in the future.
With this layout plan, you don't need to look at those gorgeous and majestic palaces, and people in this era can't draw maps to see the hell.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, the main road is leading to the trading area, the spacious road is lined with shops, hawkers hawking, pack horses carrying goods, compared to the village and county of Zhuo County, but it is a different world.
"Liu Thorn Shiduan is a good skill, worthy of being a member of the clan, and my generation should learn from it." Among the three, Liu Bei looked at the prosperity of the city with admiration and sighed with emotion.
"This is a county office, but also the location of the history of the assassination, there is water transportation in the south, and the fishing tax, and not to mention the matter of salt and iron, there is such prosperity, it should be." Liu Cang was unsociable.
"Well, what Haoxuan said is not bad." Liu Bei was stunned, and Zhang Fei nodded in response.
Zhuo County is also the seat of Zhuo County, compared to this place, it is simply a village, it doesn't matter if what Liu Cang said is right or not, Zhang Fei feels that he can't lose his face.
"Liu Tingshi suppressed the foreign tribes, so that this place was not disturbed, and the people's hearts were stable, but he should also contribute to this prosperity, right?" Liu Bei shook his head.
"Well, then Liu Yu has some ability." Zhang Fei was grassy on the wall, and seemed to feel that it was very majestic to coerce foreigners, and nodded in agreement.
"Tsk~" Liu Cang turned his head and didn't want to pay attention to them.
"Haha, it's rare for a brother to see Haoxuan targeting others, but what is your dissatisfaction with Liu Yu?" Liu Bei laughed, lowered his voice in a blink of an eye, and leaned over to Liu Cang's side and asked.
"Who targeted your clan uncle?!" raised his hand and pushed Liu Bei, and then looked at Zhang Fei's strange expression, Liu Cang opened his eyes with white eyes.
"There is Shanggu in the north, Zhuo County in the west, Yuyang in the east, and Qingzhou in Jizhou along the coast in the south. Instead, you ask them to show a nuisance. Liu Cang said to Liu Bei, and after speaking, he didn't forget to pout his lips with disdain for Zhang Fei.
"This..." Liu Bei was speechless for a while, is this statement too realistic, and you still say that you are not targeting Liu Yu?
"Look at it again, since entering the city, the people who have worked as traders have seen a Huqiang barbarian? Such prosperity has nothing to do with them? On the contrary, I am afraid that some of the tax profits here will fall into the hands of those who are coerced. ”
Liu Cang was dissatisfied, and when he argued for himself, he was also a little sincere. And Zhang Fei thought a little on his face, and stared for a moment, as if he was angry.
Yes, the benefits have been given to others, and there is no coercion to talk about.
"Hey, who's making a big fuss here?" Liu Bei was silent, and a somewhat deliberately man's voice came, and there seemed to be mockery in his voice.
"Huh?" Liu Cang and the three of them raised their eyes.
Bachelor's uniform, tattooed mountain crown, a young man in his twenties, with a beard on his chin, led a clean pack horse, and walked in front of Liu Cang and the three with a smile on his face.
"Who is you? Someone who speaks here will make you yin and yang weird! Looking at the young man, Liu Cang's eyes flashed with familiarity, Liu Bei was smiling, but Zhang Fei retorted with a black face.
"This horse, bought?" Liu Bei had the meaning of hugging his fists with the young man, Liu Cang suddenly spoke up, pointed to the horse behind the young man and asked.
"By rent." The young man shook his head.
"How poor is my brother, this official is in charge, and he is a barbarian, but he can't match a horse for someone who works hard?" Liu Cang also had a strange tone, and his face was full of sympathy.
"Haha, Brother Cang'er actually remembers being a brother." The young man laughed in the street without an image.
"Kenwa is okay?" At this time, Liu Bei also stepped forward to talk to the young man.
"Xuande is here, but he is here to find my Jian Yong?" The young man clasped his fists at Liu Bei and laughed in a blink of an eye.
"Yes. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I miss it very much. Liu Bei spoke sincerely, and a black line hung on the corner of Liu Cang's forehead.
It's a little numb, but it seems that this Jian Yong is quite useful, and he had a pleasant conversation with Liu Bei, and was led by Liu Bei to Liu Cang and Zhang Fei for a moment.
Jian Yong, Jian Xianhe, Mr. Xianhe, who is next to Liu Bei in the future, has known Liu Bei for many years, but now Liu Cang is not clear about the specific situation, I heard that he should be a civil servant in Jixian County, right?
Jian Yong is a shrewd person, and he also met Liu Cang in his early years, Liu Cang was quite impressed by this guy's unrestrained character, and he still remembered Liu Cang's well-organized living environment at a young age.
The four people present, including Zhang Fei, who didn't know Jian Yong, although their expressions were different, if they had anything in common, they probably belonged to the existence of a lack of etiquette in the eyes of ordinary people.
Needless to say, Zhang Fei has not yet grown hair, but even if he deliberately observes etiquette, he is reckless and straightforward.
Liu Bei's performance in all aspects is quite normal, but from time to time, after King Jing of Zhongshan, it is obviously not regarded as a sign of courtesy.
Liu Cang has pretended to be an adult in his head since he was a child, and with the physical age of a child, he has developed a somewhat reckless temperament at some point, and under various contrasts, he naturally shows some nondescript.
As for Jian Yong, he is also a prick, smart and intelligent, but he can sit and never kneel (kneel and sit), and he can lie down and never sit. How comfortable is it, all kinds of paranoia that ignores the opinions of others, and 'others laugh at me for being too crazy' is probably even heavier than Liu Bei.
These people got together, and from the perspective of a normal person, no one objected to saying that it was a group of problem children.
"I haven't seen him for a few years, but I can't call Brother Cang'er anymore. What Hao Xuan said before was very novel, and Jian Yong was entertained to seek high insight. Jian Yong stepped forward, Liu Cang turned over and dismounted, Jian Yong looked at Liu Cang, couldn't hear whether it was ridicule or not, but he was close to Liu Cang.
"Brother smiled." Liu Cang smiled, but did not argue, Jian Yong glanced at Liu Cang meaningfully, and then aimed at Zhang Fei, who also dismounted.
"Huh? Who was beaten by this! Zhang Fei had bruises on his face, and as soon as he saw it clearly, Jian Yong immediately frowned, and asked with anger.
Although I don't know Zhang Fei, I know that I am friends with Liu Cang and others.
Since he is a friend and has been beaten, he should come out to help, not to mention that he has been in Jixian County for the longest time, Jian Yong obviously wants to speak for Zhang Fei.
"Uh, brother... Don't worry, brother, touch it, touch it yourself. Zhang Fei was stunned, and in a blink of an eye he understood what Jian Yong meant, his expression was a little embarrassed, and when he replied to Jian Yong, he had a good impression of Jian Yong.
Well, now that Zhang Fei is young, at this stage, Jian Yong's attitude is simply a good big brother in Zhang Fei's eyes, and he is definitely a good person.
As for Liu Bei, who handed Liu Cang a knife next to him... Hum! A certain Zhang Fei just didn't want to worry about him.
