When he arrived in Fanjiazhuang, Zheng Kaicheng, the commander of the new Jin Wei, received Sun Chuanting and his party at the gate of the city and brought him into the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Entering the city of Fanjiazhuang, Sun Chuanting was even more surprised.

From the outside, Fanjiazhuang looks like a county seat, and when I entered the city, I found that it was much more prosperous and tidy than the county seat. The first feeling is that it is clean and tidy, and the city is so clean that it really doesn't look like a city in Daming. The main street is straight, and the main street is flanked by wide drainage ditches. There was no garbage or feces on the street. On both sides of the road are neat two-story villas. The walls of the villa were white-painted, and the ceiling was covered with pitch-black tiles, which was very spectacular at first sight.

If you look closely, you will find that the city is rich and prosperous. Most of the people on the street wore cotton round necks, and there were very few patches on those clothes, so they threw them away when they wanted to wear them. There are even many citizens who wear silk and drop out, and they are not obtrusive in the crowd, and they look extremely ordinary.

Sun Chuanting could see a few fat people every few steps, and found that the proportion of fat people in this Fanjiazhuang was much higher than that in other cities.

On both sides of the road, there are one or two teahouses and restaurants every few dozen steps, which are full of wealthy citizens. Some teahouses have built theaters, on which all kinds of operas are sung, and the citizens below watch them with relish and applaud loudly from time to time. A small guy took an iron basin down to collect a reward, and the citizens who watched the play threw copper coins into the iron basin one after another, and laid a thick layer on the iron basin after a while.

There are also many snack bars on both sides of the road, selling sugar gourds, fried chestnuts with sugar, and selling champion sugar alabaster cream, all over the place. Some greedy women and children held copper coins and exchanged them for candy in the store.

Sun Chuanting passed by a green building and saw two pretty standard looking fans standing at the door of the green building, looking at him with affection. Sun Chuanting is not good at Qinglou, but he also knows that the appearance level of those fans is definitely more beautiful than that of ordinary Qinglou in the capital. The fans standing at the door are all in this way, and the other fans in the Qinglou can be imagined. In other words, the pimped bustard made a lot of money in Fanjiazhuang, so he bought the most beautiful powder and ran a business here.

The wealth of this Fanjiazhuang can be seen.

Sun Chuanting asked Zheng Kaicheng: "Commander, why are the people of this Fanjiazhuang so rich?" ”

Zheng Kaicheng said with a smile: "In the industry of Zuo Dudu, the workers are all paid for two or two months and have three meals. Coupled with the money of more than 10,000 soldiers for three or two months a month, a large number of people grabbed the silver to find a place to spend money, and the various needs in the entire Fanjiazhuang city were extremely strong. If you do any small business in Fanjiazhuang, you can earn more than two taels of silver a month. As long as you are a little diligent in your hands and feet, you can live a well-off life. ”

Sun Chuanting took a breath and nodded.

The city is very safe, and from time to time you can see auxiliaries with swords patrolling in groups of ten. The petty thieves who are common elsewhere in Daming are not seen anywhere in Fanjiazhuang.

After walking for a while, Sun Chuanting noticed the details of those streets and alleys, and he was even more surprised.

There are signs in many places in the city, and the name of the road is written on the wall of each road, as if the people of Fanjiazhuang can understand it.

There is an information bar on every street, and dozens of people stand in front of each information bar to browse. Sun Chuanting looked at it curiously, and found that the information column was pasted with Fanjiazhuang's notice and the national events copied from the newspaper. The notices and transcribed texts were written in the most understandable language, and the wording was accurate and understandable at a glance, unlike the notices in other places, which were exaggerated and disregarded for the sake of writing pun.

Sun Chuanting walked a few steps forward and saw several children carrying book bags on their backs, holding the candy they had just bought, bouncing back on the street, as if they had just come out of the school. A few steps further, Sun Chuanting saw another group of children with book bags on their backs. Sun Chuanting was taken aback and asked Zheng Kaicheng:

"Do the children in Fanjiazhuang City have the money to go to school?"

Zheng Kaicheng smiled and said, "My lord, all the children in Fanjiazhuang City who have reached the age go to the school opened by Zuodu Governor, and there is no tuition fee. After a pause, Zheng Kaicheng said: "In recent years, Zuo Dudu has advocated literacy, and most of the people in the city have learned to read and write spontaneously, and now at least three adults are literate. ”

Three Adult Literacy! Aren't the people of this Fanjiazhuang all knowledgeable and reasonable? Not to be underestimated. Sun Chuanting was taken aback again, and looked at Fanjiazhuang with wide eyes and novelty everywhere.

Walking all the way and looking strange, Sun Chuanting finally walked to the official hall of Fanjiazhuang. After entering the second hall, Sun Chuanting found the crown prince Taibao who was waiting there, and Li Zhi, the governor of the left capital.

Sun Chuanting saw Li Zhi, took a breath, and arched his hand and said: "Taibao's Fanjiazhuang really let Sun Mouchang see it." ”

Li Zhi smiled, looked at Li Xing, who was sitting on the side, and said, "What did the governor see?" ”

Now Li Xing is a guerrilla in Fanjiazhuang, and this official hall is nominally used by Li Xing. However, Li Zhi also often has some reception work, and has dominated the official hall for a long time.

Sun Chuanting arched his hand and said: "Sun Mou saw the prosperity of the town and the prosperity of the people. The so-called royal paradise is nothing more than that! ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "The governor has won the award!" ”

Sun Chuanting did not let go of Li Zhi, and said: "The student wants to ask the Taibao for advice on the key techniques of protecting the territory and the people, and I hope that the Taibao will not hesitate to give advice." ”

Li Zhi was stunned, he didn't expect Sun Chuanting to be on the bar with him, and he wanted to tell the secret by himself. This Sun Chuanting was originally an arrogant person, but he claimed to be a student in front of Li Zhi, which was extremely admired by Li Zhi.

After thinking about it, Li Zhi turned around and said: "If you want to make the peasants rich, it is nothing more than to reclaim new fields and build water conservancy projects. My dragontail waterwheel is for sale, fifty taels each, does the governor want to buy it? ”

Sun Chuanting thought for a while and said, "Fifty taels is worth the money." It's just that Fanjiazhuang is too far away from Shaanxi, and it is really inconvenient to transport it over, and I am afraid that the road will be broken. ”

"Then don't buy a water wheel, what do you come to buy in my Fanjiazhuang?"

Sun Chuanting thought for a while and said, "I came to Fanjiazhuang this time, originally to discuss with the Taibao and want to buy some cannons!" The cannons of the Taibao are light, and they can kill dozens of thieves with a single cannon in the past, which is really sharp. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I can also sell you some cannons, but this cannon can only be cast once a month, and it can't be sold too much." Sell you up to twenty doors. ”

Sun Chuanting said: "How much silver? Taibao can give cheaper, the Qin army is hard, and he really can't get much silver. ”

"Six hundred taels and one door, no matter how little it is, it will be a loss."

Sun Chuanting thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll buy twenty doors, which is 12,000 taels." After a pause, Sun Chuanting said again: "But I can't raise any silver this month, and I won't have a sum of silver until September, which can be paid to the Taibao." ”

Li Zhi knew that the Qin army was poor, and said with a smile: "I'll build the cannon first." In fact, I still have some cannons in stock, and when the governor's money comes, I will deliver them directly to the governor. ”

Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "That's very good, thank you Taibao." (To be continued.) )
