The Wind Rises and the Pure Yang Chapter 148 Enter the City
Shangguan Yunlong looked at the kneeling appearance of Dou Zhun and the others, smiled, and then said.
"Dou Zhun you bastard boy have nothing to do, what kind of etiquette do you have nothing to do, why don't you stay on your city wall and run down to derelict your duties?"
Dou Zhun listened to Shangguan Yunlong's words, and laughed a little embarrassed.
"Coming to greet adults is the most important thing, besides, I'm just coming down from above to take a look, and it's considered to be a dereliction of duty. ”
"Hehe, poor mouth!"
"Hey......
The two soldiers guarding the city were really a little shocked when they saw the appearance of their own family commander, they had never seen their own family commander have such a hippie smile with someone, this seemed to be the same as the previous feeling that he was not alone at all.
What also surprised them was Shangguan Yunlong's reaction, looking at it this way, Shangguan Yunlong should be very familiar with his own commander, otherwise he would not be so familiar with his own commander.
Before this, they had always thought that Shangguan Yunlong, the patron saint of the Fujian Kingdom, should be a very serious old man, but now it seems that this is not the case. Of course, they also knew that this might also be the reason why Shangguan Yunlong and his family leaders were familiar with each other.
How did they know that although Shangguan Yunlong was also a rather serious person, he was quite friendly to the subjects of the Min State. Whether these people are high-ranking officials or peddlers, Shangguan almost treats them equally and smiles in return.
When he treats the country, he is the inner saint and the outer king, and when he treats his family and the people, he is the inner king and the outer saint, in the final analysis, he cares about these ordinary people the most, and he cares about the country the most.
In normal times, Shangguan Yunlong might have talked to Dou Zhun more, but now his mind is all on Li Wendao, so he doesn't have any thoughts about talking to Dou Zhun more.
Immediately, Shangguan Yunlong said to Kou Zhun.
"Okay, bastard, I still have something to do, I have to go back first, and I will sit in my house another day when I have time. ”
Shangguan Yunlong's words made a strange look flash in Kou Zhun's eyes, and then he said.
"Okay, the little one will go and sit down another day, and I'll bring you two pots of old wine when the time comes. ”
"Haha, okay. ”
Saying that, Shangguan Yunlong took Shangguan Yue'er and Li Wendao and walked towards Changling City, because the soldiers guarding the city saw that their commanders ran out to greet them, so naturally they didn't dare to stop them. Therefore, he watched Shangguan Yunlong and the three of them enter the city quite respectfully.
Dou Zhun looked at the figures of Shangguan Yunlong and the others, and didn't know what he was thinking, and then looked at the two soldiers guarding the city just now, and spoke.
"It's really blind to your dog's eyes, that's Lord Shangguan, you dare to be so rude, you really deserve to be beaten!"
When the two soldiers defending the city heard the words of their own commander, their faces couldn't help but feel bitter, but they couldn't say anything. Because they know that it is wrong to say anything at this time, it is better to be trained by their own commander, although there may be some punishment, but after the punishment, there is nothing else. If the two of them dared to talk back, they would definitely not be able to get rid of it.
Sure enough, Dou Zhun looked at the two soldiers guarding the city with a submissive look, and he had no interest in continuing to reprimand, and then spoke again.
"Forget it, for the sake of you not really contradicting Lord Shangguan, forget about this matter. If there's a next time, hmph, be careful that the Commander won't be able to eat and walk around!"
The two soldiers guarding the city were naturally overjoyed when they saw that Kou Zhun had no intention of continuing to investigate, and then hurriedly said with a smiling face.
"Thank you to the commander, the little ones will naturally polish their dog's eyes in the future, so as not to offend any more adults, thank you for the great kindness of the commander, the small ones are unforgettable. ”
"Humph!"
Dou Zhun left alone after a disdainful "snort", and the two soldiers defending the city couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on their heads as they looked at the back of their commander leaving.
Although the appearance of their own commander has brought them a lot of pressure, but fortunately, today's events are in the past. After all, if the commander of his own family really wants to engage anyone, he will never behave like this.
If the commander of his own family sees someone who is not pleasing to the eye, he will show it more or less, although he will report it on the spot. But as these old people who have been following him, they more or less know that if they are targeted by him, there will be no good results.
But fortunately, looking at the current situation, there should be nothing wrong with the two of them. This incident also made the two breathe a sigh of relief, originally they thought that something bad might happen when they saw their own family under their command.
Although the leader of his own family talked directly to the old man at first, he didn't pay direct attention to himself and the others. However, the more this is the case, the more they make themselves and others feel quite frightened, and the matter of keeping old accounts by their own leaders is not an ordinary terrible thing.
Coupled with the reprimand of his own commander to himself and others later, it didn't look like he was just talking, so in the end, he scared them enough, but now it seems that there is nothing to do, so it also makes the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Li Wendao had already followed Shangguan Yunlong into Changling City, but now it should be an outer city, with only some relatively low houses, but the layout is quite neat. The only thing that made Li Wenwen feel a little strange was that there didn't seem to be many people living in these houses.
Shangguan Yunlong, who was on the side, seemed to see Li Wendao's doubts, and before Li Wendao could ask, Shangguan Yunlong opened his mouth and said.
"Li Gongzi is curious why he didn't see many people after entering the city, and why are these houses so low, it doesn't feel like the capital of a country, maybe more like a town?"
Li Wendao heard Shangguan Yunlong express his doubts, and he didn't feel curious, but just said to Shangguan Yunlong with a smile.
"Hehe, Mr. Shangguan is really as wise as a torch, these are indeed the things that are curious below, I wonder if Mr. Shangguan can solve his doubts below?"
"Haha, Li Gongzi said with a smile, the old man is not as discerning as a torch, but most people who come to Changling for the first time will have this kind of doubt.
In fact, strictly speaking, this is only the outermost part of Changling City, and the houses that Li Gongzi just saw are nothing more than for those soldiers who defend the city, and some civilians who usually come to maintain the city walls.
The real Changling City actually has to go a little further inside, after all, the city walls here are really too high, if someone lives here, it is basically not able to see any sun, so few residents of Changling City live here.
As for the soldiers defending the city, it was already quite time-consuming and laborious to go back and forth between the upper and lower city walls, so they simply built shelters for them under the city walls.
It's hard to see the sun in these dwellings, but it's still much better than the tents. ”
After listening to Shangguan Yunlong's words, Li Wenwen understood what was going on. Indeed, the nearly 100-zhang high city wall is really not a height that people can ignore. If ordinary people live here, I am afraid that the feeling of depression brought about by the height is not acceptable to ordinary people.
If this feeling of depression is not good, it may make people mentally bad, after all, if you often live in the shadows, that feeling is really bad.
Although it is said that the life of the soldiers who defend the city will also feel this way, but they are already working on the city walls during the day, and by the time they are in rotation, they are tired enough.
It's basically a state of falling asleep upside down, and since they're all sleeping, who cares about what else is in front of them? Moreover, although this kind of house is low, it is much better than living in a tent.
So although it is much worse than the life in the city, it is already quite a good treatment for the soldiers defending the city. You know, when many soldiers are in the field, it would be nice to have a place to sleep, who would pay so much attention?
Therefore, the Fujian State has done a really good job in this matter, and it can be regarded as a very good treatment for this group of soldiers defending the city.
Besides, such a large piece of land under the city wall must not be wasted, right? because of the city wall, if there is no sunlight, then it is naturally impossible to grow anything.
After all, plants in the mundane generally need sunlight to survive, and if there is no sunlight, then it may be really difficult to grow.
Therefore, this land is basically a wasteland, even if the Fujian State uses such a wasteland to seek a benefit for these soldiers defending the city, Li Wendao still appreciates this practice very much.
Then Li asked and said to Shangguan Yunlong.
"I see, before I went down, I was still wondering why there were only so few people in this land, it turned out to have this effect.
In this way, this is really extraordinary with the design of the Fujian Kingdom, and it is quite admirable to be able to use this land in this way.
If you want to come to a place like the national capital, if you put it in another country, you will definitely not use the land like this, and it should not be so friendly to the soldiers who defend the city. ”
In his memories of thousands of lifetimes of reincarnation, he remembered that the national capitals of countless countries were all places where every inch of land was valuable, and just a small square of land could be more expensive than a house in a city outside many national capitals.
However, this kind of thing is quite normal, after all, it is the capital of a country, and it gathers almost all the high-end resources of the entire country, so it will naturally make people want to come in.
If there are more people who want to come in, then there will naturally be not enough space, after all, there is only so little land. At this time, the sale of land may prevent many people from coming in for the rest of their lives.
The magnates must have demarcated a lot of good lots, and finally left them for their own use. What they need is no longer a place to live, and how can a few houses meet their needs?
So they will set aside huge pieces of land as their family's residence, and then the rest of the land will be put up for sale, even if it is only a bad place, but because it is located in the country, the value will continue to grow, and finally bring them great profits.
And because this is only a small place, and there are many people competing for it, then it will naturally be speculated at a terrible price, but even so, there will still be countless people fighting for it. The more you scramble, the higher the price, the higher the price, the more you scramble, and in the end it becomes a vicious circle, which makes people fall into it endlessly......
In fact, this is not only the case in Li Wendao's reincarnation memory, but also on this continent, and the capital of every country must also be a place where every inch of land is valuable.
There, they were eager to make unlimited use of the ground and underground of such a piece of land, for fear that there would not be enough space in the end, and how could there be such a large piece of land wasted directly next to the city wall like the Min Kingdom.
Although it is true to say that this is a wasteland, but in the hands of those merchants, not to mention the wasteland, it is a dead land, a Jedi kind of place, they can finally play with you flowers.
They don't think about people's livelihood, they only have interests in their eyes. And the same is true of those powerful people, for them, they are the most important existence, as for their behavior, what will bring to outsiders, this is not something they need to consider.
Besides, I just took out the land and sold it, you can buy it or not, and I didn't ask you to sell it, right?
And Fujian's approach is equivalent to directly giving up a large area of interests, after all, I have given the city guards here as a station, and will also accommodate some refugees, how do you want to trade, do you want to fight with the military for land?
People are spilling their blood for this country, and in the end, you all want to be contaminated with the little protection given by the state, so you are not afraid of being struck by lightning?
Besides, even if there will be no thunderbolt, but the military has not yet died, although it is said that the city guard is a miscellaneous army, but in the miscellaneous is also a military person, you are running to offend the military's recognition at this time, even if you are not afraid of people coming to the door?
Although it is taboo to transfer troops for no reason, coupled with the fact that there are no military talismans, it is difficult for even the master of an army to mobilize them. But it also depends on what happens!
It's just that you are humiliated by your own comrades, so where will this group of hot-blooded people care about what military rules you don't have, go and get angry first, if you want to punish them again, then punish them! Anyway, your comrades must not be humiliated!
And the king of the country will also have a headache about this, because this matter is really punished, it will definitely attract criticism, but if you don't do anything, it must be very unhappy, so in the end, even if you punish this group of "soldiers", you will definitely not let go of this group of people who cross the line, after all, if they don't do things, how can there be so many troublesome things?
Therefore, even if this group of people is hungry for profit, they are destined not to dare to invade this land. Money is good, but it has to be spent!
