Chapter 18 Qingyu County City

Qingyu County, located at the junction of the eastern region and the central region of the Yanlong Empire, was famous for its abundance of green jade thousands of years ago, of course, it was a thousand years ago, and now Qingyu County mainly relies on its superior location to provide services for caravans, but it is also prosperous.

Qingyu County covers an area of about 10,000 square kilometers, and its population far exceeds the 600,000 of other ordinary counties, but reaches a staggering more than 2 million people.

However, this ability to be born is not a bad thing in this world, on the contrary, in this wild world where Warcraft is rampant, if you want to survive, population is the most important resource, the Yanlong Empire casualties millions of soldiers on the defense line against Warcraft every year, and every year it needs to recruit a large number of recruits to replenish the lost warriors, this qiē, requires a large number of people as the foundation. Therefore, the empire has already issued a decree: the people of the empire should work hard to live and reproduce their races, and those who have more children will be rewarded by the empire!

For more than a thousand years, tens of thousands of young people have been conscripted into the army every year, ranking first among all counties. And the most surprising thing for the empire is that the soldiers who went out of Qingyu County seemed to be particularly strong and strong, and with a little training, they were elite warriors.

For more than 1,000 years, although there are more than one hundred soldiers who go out every year, most of them are killed in battle, but the soldiers of Qingyu County who survived later became high-level military officials such as generals and marshals, so Qingyu County is also known as the hometown of generals and marshals! In order to reward Qingyu County for its great contribution to the empire, the empire reduced the tax rate of Qingyu County to 1 percent 800 years ago, which is almost equivalent to tax exemption, which also made Qingyu County known as a place where merchants gathered, which led to the development of Qingyu County.

On the 10th day of the eighth month of the 980th year of the holy calendar, a man carrying a bamboo basket appeared on the border of Qingyu County.

This man is naturally Lyle, after saying goodbye to Lin Tiezhi and Yang Tianchu, Lyle continued to run north for a few days, and after confirming that the real person was following him, he turned to the east and came to the place where the east and the middle of the east intersected.

Looking at the road monument engraved with the three big characters of "Qingyu County", Lyle patted the bamboo basket lightly, and then strode forward along the avenue, Qingyu County, it will be our home in the future.

Along the way, a thirty-meter-wide avenue appeared at the foot, and the villages and towns along the way had inns and other shops for caravans to rest, and the atmosphere of commercialization was very strong, but the people here were still very simple, and there were no such deceitful profiteers, so Lyle became more and more satisfied.

Lyle walked very fast, and when it was almost dusk, he came to Qingyu City, the county seat of Qingyu County.

Qingyu City, the height of the city is thirty meters, the thickness of fifty meters, the city is all made of solid large cyan striped stones, just like all the walls in this world are as solid and practical, enough to resist the attacks of demonic beasts that go crazy in the field from time to time.

After paying the symbolic two bronze entrance fees, Lyle entered the city leisurely, and when passing through the ten-person squad guarding the city gate, Lyle found that these soldiers were all the cultivation of the peak Bronze Knight, and the squad leader was the strength of the low-level Silver Knight, this squad was really strong! In the regular army of the Empire, the strength of ordinary soldiers was only the middle-level Bronze Knight. Maybe these powerful soldiers were just specially selected by Qingyu City to be placed here as a façade, Lyle thought to himself.

In this world, the world's well-known cultivation and fighting spirit realms are divided into five, from low to high: Black Iron Knight, Bronze Knight, Silver Knight, Golden Knight, and Paladin, among them, each major realm is divided into four small realms: low-level, middle-level, high-level, and peak.

Everyone in the Eastern Continent can cultivate Dou Qi, except for a few innate wastes, ordinary people can have the strength of a high-level Black Iron Knight or a peak Black Iron Knight when they reach adulthood at the age of sixteen, however, the strength of most ordinary people in their lifetime is so high, if they want to go further, they must join the regular army of the empire and the official departments of the empire, or join small organizations such as some sects.

Unlike what Lyle thought, the team in front of the gate of Qingyu City was not a façade, it was indeed just an ordinary ten-person team in Qingyu City.

Most of the regular army of the empire is at the border to resist the invasion of demonic beasts, except for the capitals of the major provinces and some large cities where regular troops are stationed, in the county and the local towns below the county level, there is no regular army to garrison, all of them have local city lords to organize city guards according to the actual local situation.

In this way, the city guards everywhere are naturally good and bad, good and bad, from the most tens of thousands of people, to dozens of city guards, the strength of the city guards is also high, and the equipment is even more uneven, generally speaking, the city guards as long as they have the strength of high-level black iron knights, and then put on iron armor to scare and scare the people!

However, Qingyu City is different, first of all, because Qingyu City is full of merchants and business, and the business is developed, it naturally attracts countless horse thieves and bandits and other good men to remember, so the armament of Qingyu City has always been very high, and the armor and weapons of the city guards are all made of fine steel, anyway, Qingyu City is not bad for money.

In addition, every year in Qingyu City, there are many wounded soldiers who are injured and can no longer go to the battlefield to come back, so the strength of the city guards in Qingyu City is naturally very high, and the captain who just saw that the captain guarding the city gate is a battlefield veteran who is missing an arm. Qingyu City has a brigade of five thousand people, each soldier is the strength of the peak bronze knight, the ten-person squad leader is the strength of a low-level or middle-level silver knight, the captain of a hundred people is the strength of a high-level or peak silver knight, and the captain of a thousand people is the strength of a low-level or middle-level golden knight, as for the commander of the city guard, he is now a high-level golden knight.

Not to mention anything else, just a dozen golden knights are enough to make any thief team retreat for a hundred miles, so since Qingyu City formed a powerful city guard, there are no thieves, and the law and order are also very good, and few people in the caravans dare to make trouble. Those who dared to make trouble were beaten into pigs' heads by more than a dozen golden knights, and then thrown into prison.

Lyle took Lynn Jr. around the bustling Jade City for a few laps, found a hotel to stay in, but was told that he needed to show identification. Lyell was stunned, there is no such thing in the Western Continent, not to mention where did he get his identity certificate when he fled from the Western Continent???

The shopkeeper was a simple native of Qingyu City, and after seeing him and asking about the situation in Chiang Rai, he instructed Lyle to go to the household registration department of the city lord's mansion in Qingyu City, where he could apply for household registration.

Unlike the Western continent, the Eastern continent has a strict household registration system, which is very conducive to the arrest of prisoners and the effective knowledge of the population situation in each place, so as to formulate various measures. Of course, the Eastern Continent does not exclude Westerners from coming to the Eastern Continent, in addition to the uninvited Paladin-level Westerners who will be killed, there are still many caravans in the West to do business and trade, and there are also many caravans in the East to go to the Western Continent to trade.

In the Household Registration Department of the Qingyu City Lord's Mansion, the officials of the Household Registration Department only asked Lyle a few words, and after registering the names and ages of Lyle and Little Lynn, and saying something like asking Lyle to abide by the law, Lyle and Little Lynn's identity certificates were in hand. Lyle said that he would definitely abide by the laws of the Yanlong Empire and would not cause trouble to the government.

On the identity certificate, Lyle's name became Rifle, and Little Lynn, naturally, he couldn't use the surname Lin, so Lynn became Lane, well, the identity problem of the two was solved.

After staying at the inn for one night, Lyle, oh no, it's Laifu, Laifu walked around the city a few times, and finally bought a set of yards in Xicheng District as a place to live, Xicheng District is a civilian area, and simple and kind people live here, which must have a good influence on Little Lynn's future growth.

"Ryan, this will be our home from now on, and I am your Uncle Laifu. Rifle smiled and said to Little Lynn, no matter whether he understood it or not, and whether he wanted it or not, he changed Little Lynn's name, maybe this is Rifle's way to force himself to accept a new name and a new life.

Since then, there has been one less powerful Lyle in this world, but there is one more amiable Uncle Laifu in Qingyu City.

............

Time flies like a white horse, like flowing water, in the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

Qingyu County City is still so prosperous, the caravans and mercenaries are noisy, all kinds of vendors are peddling their goods, the simple residents of Qingyu City are carrying out a monotonous life day after day, and there is not a trace of abnormality in the whole city, except for ...... "Stop, little rabbit cub, you actually dare to beat our young master, you are impatient, stand up quickly!" Several domestic servants who seemed to be big families were shouting on the street, as if they were chasing someone, and in front, a raw man with red lips and white teeth, The cute and mischievous children were running happily, turning back from time to time to make faces at the servants who were chasing them, and after running a few streets, the servants finally gave up the chase and went back to take care of their injured young master.

In a corner of Xicheng District, a child like a ghost horse elf appeared, holding a delicate money bag in his hand, smirked a few times, and then walked towards a stall selling flatbread.

Seeing the little boy coming, the middle-aged man who sold flatbread said, "Little Ryan, you're here again, how many flatbreads do you want today?" "Well, I'll do the math, one or two...... Okay, I'm going to get ten flatbreads. The little boy took out the money bag and counted it, and said with a smile, his little face full of happiness.

"Okay! you've got it...... However, listen to my uncle's advice, don't do something bad! Although our people are poor, we must be poor and ambitious. When the big man saw the little boy with a delicate money bag, he couldn't help but suspect that he had done something bad.

The little boy smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, you are too worried! I 'took' this money from a rich young master who bullied the little girl, well, he didn't object." ”

Uncle Zhang shook his head and sighed, he didn't know which unlucky guy was bumped into by the little boy in front of him, but since the little boy was not caught, it was no big deal.
