Chapter 119: Times Change Too Fast
The fang of this era, I don't know if it's because of the butterfly effect brought by Feng Xue, or if it's supposed to be like this, compared to the way of forcibly classifying residents according to use, household registration type, etc. in ancient times, it's more like a partition in a modern earth city.
Take Huainan City, a large city with a population of more than one million, for example, there are a total of nine squares, arranged in a nine-square grid, and Qingping Fang, which Feng Xue and Xu Qin are responsible for, is located in the southeast corner of Huainan City.
Qingpingfang has a total population of more than 113,600 people, including two green buildings, seven Goolan places, 12 academies are all government-run, more than 40 large and small restaurants, more than 100 medical halls, and many factories such as papermaking, printing, chemical industry, forging, textile, etc., and even a rail public carriage system.
However, compared to the prosperity that transcends the times, Feng Xue is more concerned about the danger under this prosperity, although the luck of this big city has been stabilized, and there will be no major event of the extinction of the whole city, but those gadgets who are not paying attention to take the lead to do something moth have to be guarded against.
Putting down the "Huainan City Qingping Fang Chronicle" Feng Xue flipped through the case records in the study, and was a little speechless about this collection method sorted by the time of the crime, although it is indeed easy to register according to the time of archiving for the elderly, but it is a nightmare for the newcomers, okay? Isn't it possible to file according to the severity of the impact, or the cause of the incident?
However, in the official archives, he can't change the order casually, so he can only sigh and flip through it resignedly.
Then, he found a lot of cases that made people laugh and cry.
What kind of loose nun used a blind trick to escape the bill after the ticket, what kind of rural loose cultivator saved a few hundred taels of silver to live in the city, but was deceived of all her net worth, etc., it simply made Feng Xue's three views a little nervous.
It's only been 500 years! It's only been 500 years since his last life! Is this world so much changed?
Or is this the way of the world long ago, just because the place where he lived in his previous life was relatively remote?
Anyway, Feng Xue's current mood is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rural baby entering the city, although he is obviously from King Xu.
Just when he felt that the file in front of him was about to become a joke, his mobile phone ...... Ahem, the token suddenly trembled, Feng Xue immediately entered the mana, and saw a string of words coming out of it-
Liu Qing had a quarrel with someone in Liujia Lane, Fengxiang Street, and immediately went to mediate. ”
"Poof......" Feng Xue sprayed a mouthful of water on the token, and looked back and forth several times before confirming that she was not mistaken, and her face suddenly showed an expression that she didn't know how to describe.
"I'm a monk! I'm not an aunt of the neighborhood committee! Why do I have to care about the quarrel between husband and wife?" Feng Xue's face darkened, but she didn't dare to delay, fortunately, Liujiaxiang was not far from the office, Feng Xue pinched the magic spell all the way, and after a few minutes, she had already seen the archway with the words "Liujiaxiang" written on it.
At the same time, I also saw Xu Qin.
"Uncle Xiaoshi, this way, this way!" Xu Qin waved his hand, and ran to Feng Xue's side in a few steps, Feng Xue dispersed the mana on his feet, and then asked:
"What's the situation?"
"I don't know, I suddenly received a mediation task, but usually the monk will be asked to mediate, either it is simply a casual cultivation with a little cultivation, or it is a red-eyed and directly used a barbarian slave, but we take care of this matter, and they will be knocked out directly if they don't listen to persuasion. Xu Qin seemed to be very experienced, and Feng Xue was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that today's appointment was not normal.
Generally speaking, shouldn't a newcomer be led by a veteran for a few days?
Fortunately, Xu Qin seems to be a veteran, although she has only just drawn her breath, but she has grown up since she was a child in the adjustment and education of the monks and administrators of Wangcheng.
"Are there other monks living in the city?" Feng Xue rang out about the case of the white girl of the monk he saw before, and immediately became curious, because in his impression, scattered cultivation was either the source of the disaster for one party, or the government employees who took over Zhao'an, how could there be such a person who lived in the city like a civilian, and a quarrel by the way could alarm the relevant departments?
"Well, monk...... In particular, the composition of the group of casual cultivators is actually very mixed, not everyone is willing to work for the official, some are not weak but do not like to fight, some simply like to live as mortals, and even some do not practice the exercises at all, but they just accidentally get the ritual, Spells and the like, it can only be said that they are stronger than ordinary people, for these people, it is impossible for the official to take them all into custody, otherwise if someone deliberately hides, it will be more troublesome, so they are simply treated as ordinary people, in a city like Huainan City, most of the work of the monks stationed is actually related to these scattered cultivators. ”
Feng Xue listened to Xu Qin's explanation, walked all the way through the archway, entered the so-called Liujia Lane, and heard a loud voice like Hong Zhong Dalu roaring from a distance, the sound was really huge, and even the ground under his feet seemed to tremble because of this.
"Lion's roar?" Feng Xue vomited in her heart, and immediately walked up, passing through the crowd of onlookers, and saw a woman in her early thirties scolding a man who was five big and three thick at a distance of three or four meters, but her voice was far less loud than the roar before.
"Liu Qing, you have a loud voice, is it amazing? What do I eat at home, do not worry about you, others, but my mother!"
The woman said, and even rolled up her sleeves, with a posture of "believe it or not, the old lady opened your scoop", obviously speaking the ancient language of the Shang Dynasty, but Feng Xue stubbornly heard a smell of Northeast ballast.
"I don't care if you're afraid or not, anyway, you can't eat beef!" Liu Qing shouted in a very loud voice, and Feng Xue even saw the stones on the ground at his feet jumping.
"What's wrong with me, mother, you [big businessman], what does the old lady owe you?" The woman made a teapot shape with one hand on her waist, obviously looking good, but she had a fierce aura from her bones.
"You don't want to get an inch!" Liu Qing is obviously not a cultural person, he was born weaker than the woman on the street, and his face was flushed at this time, and Xu Qin immediately began to gather mana and prepare to cast a spell.
"What, do you still want to beat someone? The neighbors all look at it, this guy bullies me as a weak woman! Boss, you just watch people bully your wife?" The woman seemed to be energetic, but it stimulated Liu Qing's nerves, Feng Xue felt that she couldn't persuade her to keep arguing like this, and she was about to squeeze through the crowd immediately.
But at this moment, Xu Qin suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said:
"Uncle Junior, how are you using the bondage spell, can you control that Liu Qing?"
"It should work. Feng Xue didn't talk nonsense, he also saw that although this woman was more fierce, she was a mortal with a relatively strong body, and that Liu Qing, just with her loud voice, was enough to prove that he was not an ordinary person.
As for saying that it is a woman, she is being aggressive...... Well, control the situation first and then say who is right and who is wrong, otherwise if Liu Qing breaks out and hurts people, it will become unreasonable.

PS: The main reason for the social progress in the article is actually because of the popularization of hybrid rice, which allows more people to grow more food with fewer people, coupled with the establishment of factories and schools, so that more people can leave the farmland and create more value.
