Liangzhou City, known as Guzang and Wuwei in ancient times.

In the pre-Qin period, it was the Yue's garrison pastureland, the prehistoric millennium of Shenzhou, the Xiongnu defeated the Yue's and occupied this place, and the Xiongnu Hutu King built Guzang City here.

In 879 BC, heavy snow suddenly fell in Saibei, and countless Xiutu tribes moved into the city one after another.

The violent ~ movement of the aura of life caused an unprecedented disaster, the thunder fell suddenly, the earth cracked, and the city of Guzang was killed and injured countless times, and the then King Hutu had to move west with the surviving tribesmen to take refuge in other Xiongnu tribes.

Since then, this place has been slowly occupied by the pre-Qin people, forming many towns and cities.

In 62 years before history, the pre-Qin rebuilt the city on the site of Guzang and renamed it Wuwei.

After the restructuring of the Shenzhou calendar, the original Yongzhou was divided into three states: Si, Yi and Liang, and this place was called Xiliang because of its gold line and cold land.

Xiliang is divided into ten counties, including Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Dunhuang, Wuwei, Jincheng and Xihai. The state city was located in Wuwei County, and the original Wuwei City was renamed Liangzhou City.

The city of Liangzhou is a necessary place for the "Silk Road", which started from Chang'an, the new capital of the Qin State, and went to Dunhuang through the Hexi Corridor.

Then enter the 36 countries of the Western Regions from Dunhuang County, pass through Loulan, Khotan, and Shache in the south to reach Anxi, and the body poison (i.e., Tianzhu), and the north road from Dunhuang to Qiuci and Shule, and then cross Dawan to reach the Western world.

It exported tea, silk, porcelain, grain and luxury utensils to the West, and imported gold, silver, jewelry, cattle and sheep and various local products to China.

According to the statistics of the Liangzhou government, there are no less than 500,000 long-term residents in Liangzhou City and surrounding towns, and the floating population is more than twice the number.

With a large population, Liangzhou City is full of shops, liquor and entertainment venues, and when the government decree does not announce a curfew, the streets and alleys are bright all night, and it is a veritable city that never sleeps.

At this time, when it was close to lunch time, the kitchen of a restaurant called "Drunk Tonight" on Liangzhou East Street was already in full swing.

"Xiaoya, don't care about the ingredients, first send the cooked dishes to the Xiao family's class, the second shopkeeper has urged it several times...... Damn, let them recruit two more cousins, and let the kitchen people go to deliver each time!" a fat man in the shape of a barrel wiped the sweat from his forehead by the stove, and shouted to a young man dressed as a small guy in the distance.

"Eh!" the little maid Mu Ne's face was expressionless, and he whispered a word, put the wine and food in the food box, and walked towards the outside of the restaurant.

The little guy was naturally the white cliff that mixed into Liangzhou City, and after the white cliff and the black three people parted that day, they smoothly mixed into the pass in the north of Liangzhou City.

The gatekeepers and tax collectors of this pass levied heavy taxes on passing caravans, but they were very lenient on foreigners who did not carry goods, as long as ten cents. Bai Ya gave them a piece of broken silver, and actually got the rest of the money back, which simply subverted the concept of the city gate pawn in his mind.

What's more, Saibei is not the territory of the Qin State, and the city pass here is considered a border checkpoint of a country, so it is so easy to let him enter the customs with a black household?

However, White Cliff's questions were quickly answered after entering the customs.

It turned out that it was easy to enter the pass here, but it was difficult to enter Liangzhou City, where the city pass finally needed household registration and identity proof.

Between the pass and the city of Liangzhou, there is a buffer zone of thirty miles, and there are simple tiled sheds and tents built everywhere, like the slums of the world of Baiya.

Among them, there are mutual markets set up by various countries in the Western Regions, as well as cattle and horse markets where small nomadic tribes in the north of the country are stationed, as well as various shops, wine shops, gambling stalls and hook bars opened by merchants in Liangzhou City!

In short, it has everything, no less than a regular city.

Baiya, an unregistered migrant population, is the most popular person here!

The reason is that the prosperous city of Liangzhou needs low-level laborers, and the hard work that the permanent residents are unwilling to do will be borne by them, just like the labor immigrants in Baiya.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a household registration, as long as someone in Liangzhou City is willing to be a guarantor, foreigners can enter the city.

The big families and merchants in Liangzhou City took advantage of this to recruit servants and handymen.

There are roughly three kinds of contracts they provide, one is short-term work, three to six months, the other is long-term work, one to five years, and the last one is more than ten years, which is equivalent to a deed of sale.

Of course, the longer the time, the better the contract treatment!

After Bai Ya learned this, he immediately found the recruitment office of a restaurant, showed his knife skills a little, and successfully signed a one-year handyman contract and got a beautifully made "temporary visa" for Liangzhou City.

Bai Ya originally planned to enter Liangzhou City, learn about the urban environment, and then look for an opportunity to slip away.

He has the money bag contributed by the black tiger and the old man Tao, and he is not short of money, so he doesn't have to be honest in Liangzhou City for several years, waiting for the opportunity to "turn regular" in the household registration. But after learning about some of the circumstances, he had to change his mind and start working part-time while waiting for a real opportunity.

......

"Yo, it's the little brother of 'Drunk Tonight'! The food box is for me, the excellent actors are waiting for dinner, and there are two dramas to be rehearsed in the afternoon!"

Bai Ya came out of the restaurant, walked through two streets and alleys, and saw the Xiao family class performing on stage in Dong Fumen. The inspection hall in the class had been waiting outside for a long time, and as soon as I saw him, I grabbed the food box and hurried inside.

Bai Ya smashed his mouth with some regret, he originally wanted to go in and see how the troupe here was different from his world.

After only a few days in Liangzhou City, he saw a lot of unimaginable things, and once again refreshed his understanding of the world. It looks like ancient times, but it's actually very different!

For example: the simplest food, clothing, housing and transportation!

Don't mention eating, the ancient China of his world is the foodie empire, and the same is true here, the food culture and wine culture must surpass the modern world.

Clothing also broke Bai Ya's concept of antiquity, not only the most common fabrics linen, cotton, silk and fur, but also some synthetic fabrics that he could not understand, such as a blend of various artefacts.

Although there are no imported items such as jeans and suits, they are not limited to traditional weekly cheongsam. On the contrary, simple "Hu clothes" such as short clothes and trousers are the most common, and the styles and colors are also diverse, and the design is very personalized.

As for "living", it is one of the most surprising things in White Cliff!

Although the traditional Chinese buildings with flying eaves and arches and white walls and blue tiles can be seen everywhere in Liangzhou City, the height of the buildings is far beyond imagination.

Even the buildings in ordinary civilian areas are mostly five or six storeys, and a pagoda in the northern part of the city is as high as 30 floors, more than 30 zhang and 100 meters high.

The iron mulberry wood cultivated by the Qin people is one of the main materials of the building, which is not afraid of water, fire and insects, and its hardness surpasses that of steel. Although there is no lack of cement, the Qin people have a kind of "pei base soil" prepared by large workshops, and the hardness and viscosity are comparable to cement after solidification.

If it weren't for the fact that the land territory of this world far exceeded his world, and there was no housing pressure, he believed that with the construction technology of the Qin people, he would definitely be able to build many skyscrapers!

"Mother, look, the spaceship from Chang'an~~"

was thinking about what he had seen and heard in the past few days in Baiya, and not far away, a young ~ child with pigtails suddenly pointed to the sky, jumping and jumping excitedly.

Bai Ya looked at the young ~ child, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched.

A sailboat with a style like ancient China is flying more than 1,000 meters above Liangzhou City.

Bai Ya knew that this ship was called the Flywheel Treasure Ship, and he had seen it several times in the past few days. The only difference between it and the building boat is the two large wheels on both sides of the ship.

Although he is not a technophile, when he first saw the Flywheel Treasure Ship, he couldn't wait to grow wings and go up to see it.

This Nima has no propellers and no jet engines, how the hell does it fly into the sky?!

In addition to this flywheel treasure ship, Baiya also learned from the diners of the restaurant that a new "flying ferry" was used for the big post road connecting Liangzhou City and other cities. Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, everyone said that it could travel thousands of miles a day, no slower than cars and trains.

If you don't go out of the well, you can know the breadth of the lake and the sea!

What he saw and heard in Liangzhou City finally made Baiya completely abandon the perception that this is an ancient world!

With a heavy focus on his business, Bai Ya unconsciously came to the vicinity of a tall wall.

"Hey, that kid, don't play here!"

The two Tsing Yi Zhuang squads who were guarding nearby happened to patrol here, and when they saw Baiya approaching the wall, they immediately came over with water and fire sticks to drive them away.

"Whew!" Bai Ya came back to his senses, answered lightly, and walked away.

He took a deep look at the building and walked towards Drunk Tonight.

This building covers a large area, with a wall as high as three zhang and an iron thorn fence on it, which is the main reason why Baiya did not leave Liangzhou City immediately and chose to stay here for a while.

The thing inside this building is the "Teleportation Talisman Array" that Baiya has only heard of its name and has never seen its appearance!

In his world, technology is highly developed, and airplanes and trains are just ordinary things, just like the flywheel treasure ships and ferries here, but long-distance space teleportation still only exists in science fiction imagination, and it is difficult for Bai Ya to understand what the "teleportation talisman array" in this world looks like.

Baiya has inquired in the past few days, there is no big post road and air route from Liangzhou City to Hanzhong County in Yizhou, because there is a boundless and dangerous wilderness in the middle, and the distance is from tens of thousands of miles to millions of miles.

White Cliff had no idea how far the millions of miles would go, but he knew that the Eurasian Land Bridge from Vladivostok to Amsterdam in the Netherlands was only about 13,000 kilometers, and this was not a straight line, but a railway.

In other words, without the help of the teleportation talisman array, Baiya might not be able to reach Hanzhong County in his lifetime!

With such a comparison, Bai Ya knew why this world had an airway and a great post road, and there would be a long-distance teleportation rune array.

When he was in the inn, the uncle and nephew of the Central Plains had said that Shenzhou was boundless, human beings only occupied a very small area, and the residences and cities were dotted with Shenzhou like stars, and most of the surrounding areas were cut off by the barbaric barbaric domain of wild beasts and demons and monsters.

At that time, he was only half-convinced, and it wasn't until he came to Liangzhou City now that he finally believed it!

The large-scale teleportation array in Liangzhou City is divided into military and civilian, and the military teleportation array is in the "moat" outside Liangzhou City, which is only used by the Qin army and the government, and ordinary people can only use the civilian teleportation array in the city.

However, even civilian teleportation arrays require users to show official household registration and identification, and they are not "temporary work visas" for White Cliffs.

Just like the machine inspection in another world, unknown black households can't get on a plane!
