Yanjing is the capital of later generations, and there is no one in the world who does not know this city, but few people know that Yanjing actually came from this way, and it is a town deliberately built by Qin Shi Huang in order to reward the craftsmen of Yanguo for their lime burning.

However, this Yanjing is just a town, it was an inconspicuous place at that time, a small place that would not attract the attention of others, and Jicheng, the capital of Yanguo during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was not far from Yanjing Town, which was the same area, and all belonged to the scope of the imperial capital of later generations.

Li An told many interesting stories about the Great Wall in one breath, although most of these stories happened in the Ming Dynasty, but after clever modifications, Li Hanlu couldn't hear them, anyway, she hadn't heard these stories, so naturally she didn't know that this was the story of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Hanlu gently stroked her hair with her hand, wanting to continue listening to Li An's story, but the interesting stories of the Great Wall that Li Ang knew were almost finished, and there was no more story to tell Li Hanlu.

"Madam, don't listen to the story, let's enjoy the surrounding scenery! The scenery here is not bad, I don't know what it will be like in a few hundred years. ”

Li An looked at the surrounding scenery and spoke.

Dejing County is in a valley, the surrounding is basically all mountains, the mountains have a lot of vegetation, but the vegetation coverage rate is not too high, from a distance, it seems to be a lush piece, but when you walk to the front, you will find that the vegetation is relatively sparse, just like the grass that has just sprouted in the spring of later generations, a piece of soil under your feet is always very sparse, you can see a lot of soil, but when you look into the distance, you will find that the earth is already a piece of green, which is caused by visual reasons.

That is to say, there is vegetation on the mountains around Dejing County, but the density of vegetation is not too high, there is always some soil exposed to the air, which makes it appear a little dry, but around the valley where Dejing County is located, the vegetation coverage rate is very good, almost no bare soil, the ground is either just budding young grass, or last year's dry dead grass and fallen leaves, in short, the vegetation is very rich.

The reason for this situation is naturally because there is a river in the valley, the water in the river will moisten the plants on both banks, so that the plants on both sides are very lush, and the top of the mountain is too high, even if the root system of the plants on the mountain is developed, it is impossible to go deep into the river under the mountain, they can only rely on the moisture of the deep soil on the mountain to feed themselves, if it does not rain for a long time, the water in the deep soil will also be sucked dry, so that the shallower the root system of the plant, the more likely it is to be dried up, only the root system is long enough for the plantIn order to last for a longer period of time, and then wait for the arrival of the next rainfall, which also causes the plants on the mountain to have a lot of gaps, and there are more drought-tolerant plants with deep roots, and relatively few drought-tolerant plants and herbaceous plants.

"The city in the east is the county seat of Dejing County, this city doesn't look big, it is estimated that there are only a few thousand people!"

Li Hanlu looked at Dejing County, which was not too far away, and said.

Dejing County was originally a group of soldiers to guard the camp, because this place is very important, therefore, it is necessary to send troops to garrison, to the Sui Dynasty, because the importance is more prominent, the imperial court upgraded it to Dejing Town, and soon upgraded to Dejing County again, which is the origin of Dejing County.

From the origin of this county, it can be seen that Dejing County is an important location, otherwise it will not establish a camp again, and upgrade to the county seat step by step, and the scenery here is really good, the middle is a canyon with good scenery, and although the vegetation on the mountains on both sides is not very dense, it is already very good, at least much better than the desert full of yellow sand!

Moreover, in some places it is indeed a desert, but I don't know if in a few hundred years, the mountains here will become sand dunes, or the entire Dejing County will become a desert, these situations are possible, as long as the local people do not pay attention to the protection of the environment, then, these terrible things will definitely happen.

The mountains on both sides are natural barriers, if the nomadic cavalry wants to go south, they must pass through the canyon here, although the mountains in the distance can also climb up, but the pressure of horses climbing the mountain is still very great, and the logistical pressure is too great, which is also the main reason why the city is built in the valley, in addition, in the face of foreign invasion, the Great Wall outside the city and a large number of independent beacon towers can also play a great role, they echo with the county seat of Dejing County, constitute a complete set of defense system.

After the Tang Dynasty pacified the northern border, the nomads basically did not dare to continue to go south, and the Great Wall and a large number of beacon towers were abandoned first, and the city wall naturally could not be abandoned, and it was well preserved.

"Yes, there should still be two or three thousand people, and it is not yet time to eat, if it is time to eat, a large number of fireworks will come out of the city, which must be a very spectacular scene."

Li An looked at the county seat of Dejing County in the distance and spoke.

A large amount of cooking smoke is quite spectacular, however, more spectacular than this is the terrible sandstorm, you must know that Dejing County is on the edge of the Mu Us Desert, is a county seat on the edge of the desert, in the era of the Tang Dynasty is not bad, but the threat of desertification exists all the time, and as long as the desert defeats the surrounding mountains and trees, then, Dejing County is very dangerous, powerful moving sand dunes, swallowing a county is not a matter at all, it is easy to complete.

Although the Mu Us Desert was conquered by powerful humans in later generations, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, it was not so easy to conquer the desert, mainly because the people not only would not support, but also did things that destroyed the water and soil. As a result, the Mu Us Desert was created in later generations, and the court of later generations spent huge manpower and material resources to govern it.

It is very easy and easy to destroy the environment, but if it is to deal with the damaged environment, it is much more difficult and costly.

Therefore, it is better to protect the environment as soon as possible, and not to pay attention to the protection of the environment when the environment is destroyed, so that it will be too late.

The countryside where Li Ang lived in his previous life has experienced great changes in the environment, the countryside when he was a child was so beautiful, full of fish and shrimp, as long as he goes down to the river to catch, he will be able to return with a full load, and as time goes by, the environment has gradually been devastated, and the original small streams and rivers full of fish and shrimp are already full of sewage, and there is no longer a fish and a shrimp, and the fun of childhood can no longer be replicated.

This is the cost of destroying the environment, as long as the fish and shrimp in the river die, even if it costs a huge amount of money to clean up, it will not have the original effect.

Li An and the others took a leisurely walk on the ruins of the Great Wall, with guards in front and behind, and a large number of guards around under the Great Wall, which was really not small.

And because the Great Wall ruins are not far from Dejing County, only two miles of road, so the soldiers standing on the wall of Dejing County can clearly see Li An and his party on the Great Wall ruins, if there are only one or two people playing on it, it will naturally not attract the attention of these soldiers, but more than 100 people are walking around here, and this situation has to be paid attention to.

Although the distance of Erli Road made it difficult for the soldiers of Dejing County to see what Li An and his party were doing, they could judge from the strange means of transportation that Li An was riding and the gorgeous clothes of the guards that this was not an ordinary person, but a person with a great background, and it was necessary to attract their attention.

Soon, the soldiers at the head of the city reported the situation to the leading captain, and the leading captain did not dare to make a mistake, and after personally going up to the city wall to check it, he immediately reported the situation to his superior county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant personally rode over to check, and then sent his deputy to the county government to ask the county magistrate of Dejing County to come and see it in person.

"County Lieutenant Cui, what do you think they will come from, looking at this body from a distance, the origin must be not small, this is even more pompous than the history of assassination!"

A captain who was a janitor spoke.

"Of course it won't be the history of the thorn, every time our king thorn history comes, he will greet him in advance, and he won't come over without saying a word, and besides, what is so beautiful about this broken city wall, it will definitely not be the history of the king thorn."

County Lieutenant Cui Er said.

This Cui Er is the nephew of the county commander Cui Dahai, and he is also the most courageous person in their old Cui family, tall and mighty, and his beard makes him look like a beautiful beard, and this Cui Er is also extremely believing in Guan Erye, and his daily words and deeds and behaviors like to imitate Guan Erye's appearance, as if Guan Erye is possessed.

However, this Cui Er's beard is a little like Guan Erye, but this guy is far inferior to Guan Erye in terms of force and ideological realm.

As he spoke, he didn't forget to gently stroke his hair with his hand while speaking, and nodded from time to time, pretending to be more like.

"What Captain Cui said is that it will definitely not be Wang Tingshi, so will it be General Guo? I heard that a few months ago, General Guo of Lingzhou was transferred to Xiazhou to take charge of the extermination of horse thieves. ”

The lieutenant said again.

Cui Er touched his beautiful hair, and continued to shake his head: "No, no, no, it won't be General Guo, General Guo, this official has still seen it, it's not this kind of scene, and moreover, General Guo likes to ride horses, and won't ride these strange things, maybe, this group of people has just come from the capital......"

"From the capital? Shouldn't we go and see us? ”

The lieutenant asked nervously.

Cui Er continued to touch his beautiful hair, looked at the captain beside him, and said: "Even if it is to visit, it shouldn't be me waiting to go, my uncle must go by himself, so that he can appear more sincere, otherwise, Shangguan will be blamed." ”

"Yes, yes, the villain is really stupid, or the county lieutenant is thoughtful."

The captain who guarded the door said flatteringly.

In fact, at this time, Dejing County is not so important, so the number of soldiers and horses stationed in Dejing County is very small, except for the three hundred soldiers and horses stationed in the city are the elite soldiers under Guo Ziyi, the soldiers on the city wall and the city gates are militia recruited from the local area, the number is less than two hundred, mainly responsible for guarding the city, if it is really a battle, it is completely vulnerable, fortunately, the main enemies have been eliminated, and the horse thieves do not have so much combat power, for the defense of the city, these three melons and two dates can also come in handy.

Because Guo Ziyi was a little worried, he sent three hundred soldiers and horses to garrison, so as to ensure absolute safety, after all, he had already come to Xiazhou, if the horse thief was forced to capture the county seat, his old face would have no place to rest.

And since the defensive soldiers and horses in Dejing County are all recruited locally, then the phenomenon of trusting the relationship to go through the back door is naturally very commonplace, for example, Cui Er, the county lieutenant who is responsible for commanding these soldiers, is the nephew of the county commander Cui Dahai, and this Ximen captain who flatters Cui Er everywhere also got this position through the back door, and also obtained a promotion in his position by going through the back door again, and became the boss of the West City Gate.

At this moment, Cui Er is anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and his uncle county commander Cui Dahai is busy hugging the beauty in his arms, this county order Cui Dahai is fifty or sixty years old, which is considered a very old person, but he is not old, and he is very interested in women, especially the young girl in the flower season, who can win his favor, he has married six concubines in a row, but this is far from enough, after all, no matter how many concubines there are, there are times when they are tired of seeing, only by constantly changing new tricks can he be excited enough.

There are very few green buildings in Dejing County, only three or five families, and there are not many girls in them, probably less than a hundred people in total, all of these people have been ravaged by Cui Dahai without exception, and none of them have fallen.

But this kind of place in Qinglou will continue to replenish fresh blood, after all, people have old and yellow times, if there are always so many people, the guests will not be satisfied, only the continuous replenishment of new people can make their business more and more prosperous, and even some shrewd bustards, will go to other counties to change girls, so, girls are still so many, newcomers from other counties, that is also newcomers, local guests generally do not know.

And the Qinglou in Dejing County, as long as there is a fresh girl, first of all, let the county order Cui Dahai inspect the goods, and then, let other guests in the county enjoy, if Cui Dahai is more satisfied with this new girl, maybe he will be wrapped for a month or two, and after he is tired of playing, he can hand over the girl to other guests, who makes him the respect of a city?
