Chapter 4 The City of Freedom, the Grand Occasion of Shanghu County
Soon, after Zhu Yuanzhang's continuous urging, the group finally rushed to the county seat in front, and the people became more numerous.
"Welcome to Shanghu County, a city of freedom!"
Approaching the county seat, Zhu Yuanzhang saw a red banner from a distance, hanging high on the road leading to the county seat.
"Free City? Does Shanghu County have such another name? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen suspiciously, after all, Liu Bowen had also come to Songjiang Mansion at the beginning.
Liu Bowen shook his head firmly and said:
"Never!"
"Then this must be done by that Li Jin, keep moving forward, let's see what the so-called Free City looks like?"
Zhu Yuanzhang is very much looking forward to Shanghu County.
didn't walk along the city avenue for a while, but Zhu Yuanzhang felt that something seemed wrong.
"Have you noticed that there is no city wall in Shanghu County?"
As soon as these words came out, the group suddenly woke up.
That's right, why doesn't there be a city wall in Shanghu County, haven't you and the others arrived in Shanghu County?
Liu Bowen mentioned it again next to him:
"Not only is there no city wall, but no one has checked the road guide when entering Shanghu County."
Since the establishment of Zhu Yuanzhang's household registration system, Lu Yin is a must-have thing for everyone who goes out, otherwise they won't be able to go far.
But no one in Shanghu County checked this thing.
Zhu Biao gave an explanation at this time:
"Maybe that's why Shanghu County is known as the City of Freedom."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said:
"Let's go forward and take a look, maybe we haven't entered Shanghu County yet!"
But not long after walking forward, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
I saw that the spacious street was full of people, and these people were talking and laughing on the street.
Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, and it could be seen that the life of the people here was very happy.
"Take a walk and take a look, the clothes are so fashionable here!"
"Stop and take a look, beautiful clothes are sold cheaply!"
"Big Sale! It's a big sale! Today, things in the mall are sold cheaply, so don't miss it when you pass by!! ”
"Don't 998, don't 98, just 38. Beautiful clothes can be taken home in no time. ”
"It's a clearance sale, don't miss it when you pass by, if you buy it, you can earn it!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned to see the sound of selling everywhere on both sides of the street, as if he had a feeling of being in a different world.
Behind him, Zhu Biao and the others also looked like they had never seen the world, and looked at everything in front of them with their mouths open.
"Several, this is a pedestrian street, and horse-drawn carriages can't pass."
"If you want to go shopping, please leave your carriage at the carriage shop next to you!"
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang and others were watching on the side of the road, a man came up to remind them that carriages could not pass here.
After being reminded, Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that all the people on this street were on foot.
"Thanks for the reminder, we'll leave."
After Queen Ma thanked her, she pulled Zhu Yuanzhang and the others away.
Afterwards, several people continued to sit in the carriage in the carriage and walked around the county.
The streets of Shanghu County are extremely wide, with the middle four lanes for horse-drawn carriages and the streets on both sides for pedestrians.
Even if there are people coming and going, there is a lot of traffic, but I don't feel a little blocked.
Not only that, but there are all kinds of snacks on the street.
The storefronts on the street are open with large and small shops.
Crowds of people buying things come and go in these shops, and it is extremely lively.
When Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage came to the center of the county, the most prosperous area, they were completely shocked.
The county center is full of high-rise buildings, no lower than the previous elementary school.
These tall buildings are not gray and white like elementary schools, but are painted with gold and sparkle in the sun.
"Is this still a county seat?"
"Even our Ying Tianfu is not so prosperous, right? Is this heavenly? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was completely shocked by the blossoming flowers of Shanghu County, and he couldn't believe that this was the county seat under his rule.
"Dad, look there, heaven and earth!!"
Zhu Di's eyes were sharp, and he really saw the name of a store called Heaven and Earth.
Zhu Biao looked at the surrounding shops one by one, and saw that there were names of all stores.
Heaven and Earth, Buckingham Palace, Grand Lisboa, Nightclub.
Zhu Biao muttered:
"These names are weird! It always felt like something was wrong. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about these, but looked at the landmark building located in the center of the county, a statue of a woman.
It is a statue of a woman dozens of feet high, taller than all the surrounding buildings.
The statue is of a woman standing tall with a torch in one hand and a scale in the other.
He also has a crown on his head, and his face is resolute and domineering.
"Dad, who is this woman? Why put her here? I don't think I've ever seen it before! ”
Zhu Di was very puzzled, he couldn't understand why he put such a woman here, it seemed very inexplicable.
Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't spoken yet, but the people next to him couldn't help but interrupt:
"Don't be rude to the goddess."
"This is the Statue of Liberty, which symbolizes that our Shanghu County is a city of freedom."
"You see her hands, holding a torch in one hand, symbolizing freedom."
"The other hand holds the scales, symbolizing fairness."
"Let's go to Shanghai County, since the county lord came, then fairness and freedom have come!!"
The surrounding people applauded and agreed, and it was clear that the county order Li Jin was very popular in Shanghu County.
After Zhu Yuanzhang walked around Shanghu County, after seeing the prosperity of Shanghu County, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"Li Jin really didn't disappoint us, so it seems that this Li Jin must be a capable minister who rules the world."
Zhu Di and Zhu Biao next to him also nodded.
After experiencing the tragic situation in Yangzhou, Zhu Di and Zhu Biao felt that Shanghu County was simply heaven.
And Li Jin, who governed Shanghu County like this, can naturally be called a capable minister in governing the world.
But Zhu Yuanzhang always felt as if he had missed something.
"Why haven't we seen the homeless?"
"Dad, it seems that the displaced people are not in the county town for disaster relief, but outside the city."
Zhu Di observed carefully along the way, and gave an explanation at this moment.
"Let's go, let's go and see the situation of the displaced people first."
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed out of the city, after all, the purpose of coming here is to care about the situation of these displaced people.
However, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw these relief grains, he suddenly trembled with anger.
