The boat is full of roads, and tourists follow one after another.

The first impression given by the hanging gourd is that there are many people. Especially in this era of war and chaos in all directions, the wilderness is full of starvation and corpses, refugees wander in groups or there is no shortage of them, but prosperity and peace have not been seen for a long time. Therefore, many people who are new to this realm will feel a huge psychological impact.

The topography here hangs over the river valley, and the river is circulated on three sides, and you can see the whole picture by going around the river. It is a gentle slope that rises one after another, and no matter which direction you look at, you can see people entering and exiting this realm. There are also many manors built by the water, high walls or no garden beauty, but towering tall brick and stone warehouses, in such an era of scarcity, regardless of whether there are goods in the warehouse, these warehouses alone, are particularly eye-catching.

Due to the large number of people coming and going, the waterways entering the country are also divided by barriers to avoid congestion. The scale of the Liangzhou envoy is not small, and it is not allowed to dock at the near-shore wharf. Therefore, when they were still a few miles away from the hanging gourd, they were stopped by the Huainan soldiers patrolling on the river, and taught them to identify the water buoys, and according to the guidance of the buoys, they left the Rushui waterway and entered a deep and wide water dam from the tributaries. Dozens of medium-sized and larger vessels have been moored here, making it a very large diversion terminal.

After the ship docked and stopped, a Huainan official on the wharf asked to board the ship, told the group about the regulations and precautions for activities in the hanging gourd, and handed them a short book.

This group of people in Liangzhou has an unusual identity, and they don't pay much attention to the things that the officials tell, but they are more interested in that book. The book paper is excellent, white and delicate, and the dark lines are uniform, which can be regarded as a luxury item in Liangzhou, even if most of the people are from Liangdi Dazong, they will not be extravagant enough to treat it as a daily necessities, and occasionally get such a paper quality copy, and even treasure it to be carefully appreciated.

Therefore, when they saw the Huainan officials on the dock giving them away, a group of people couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking that the other party saw that their identity was extraordinary and had special gifts, but when they saw that there were many such gifts on other ships nearby, they realized that they were rare and strange, and then sighed at the luxury of Huainan.

Although the leader Sonin and the others tried their best to maintain their bearing, so as not to be mistaken for a rural outcast, they couldn't help but be shocked after reading the contents of the book. The book is extremely rich in content, and the first four pages are all smooth lines of stick pen and ink drawings, although the pen is simple, but the picture is freehand and expressive.

The first page is a painting of a fierce water battle scene, signed as "Wang Shi broke the thief peach leopard praise picture", the picture is not complicated, the most eye-catching is a huge ship in the middle, the armor is arranged, the bow is shot, the slap rod is held high, the crossbow is stretched, the surrounding is a messy boat, vulnerable, farther on the shore, the slave country handsome flag is dumped, the slave general is being routed and fled, leaving only a corner of the picture in the corner of the picture of the back.

Although the picture is simple, the meaning of the momentum and magnificence of victory jumps on the paper, which makes people can't help but sway.

"Could it be that this scene is the battle when the Huainan Navy attacked the Peach Leopard Army of the slave country here a few years ago?"

Some of the envoys couldn't help it, and opened their mouths to ask the Huainan officials who boarded the ship. After hearing this, the Huainan official nodded proudly and said: "This battle is our Huainan Governor's Mansion brave general......"

The officials talked endlessly about the process of the war, and there was naturally no lack of exaggerated speculation in their words, or they could deceive ordinary people, but many of the people present knew about the military affairs, and some of them were themselves generals of the Liangzhou unified army, so they naturally would not believe it. However, water warfare is an unfamiliar field for them after all, and it is difficult to completely distinguish the true from the false, but one thing is certain, that is, the Huainan Army is indeed brilliant in this battle.

The next three pictures are all depicted in the process of the hanging gourd from a barren and wild place in the early days to the current "Dayi in the sky". Although the people of Liangzhou don't know what the hanging gourd looked like in the early years, they can also get a glimpse of the magnificent atmosphere that changed the world from scratch in the middle of this scene.

"In this world, there are many people who abuse the people and harm the world, but there are many people who can rise and fall in the famine, and make the people prosperous and governed. Based on this alone, Shen Weizhou is worthy of the title of the leader of Nanxiang and the scholar of Tianhua! ”

After looking through a few picture scrolls, even Liangzhou Soning couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and several other Liangzhou scholars also had such feelings. Originally, when they were in Liangzhou, they thought that they and others would work together to make the land west of Hexi one of the few resting paradises in this world, and there was no lack of pride in their hearts. Traveling all the way east, they saw the chaos in Guanzhong, and even Jingzhou, as the world's heroic town, did not make them feel bright, and this mentality undoubtedly became fuller.

However, after entering the realm of Runan, especially after seeing the prosperity of the Hanging Gourd Dayi, this mentality was quickly disintegrated. Shen Wei and Zhou are still secondary, what makes them feel the most profound is that the hope of the world is still in Zhongzhou, and they are also bitter and lonely in Hexi, but they are still far from the Central Plains.

After the picture scroll, there is a piece of text, and the content also tells the historical origin of the Huainan Governor's Mansion and many magnificent feats since the founding of the town, and then the sixteen orders of the Huainan Governor's Mansion.

"You should be new to this realm, or if you don't know the rules of the Governor's Mansion, please keep the book order closely. If there is a careless violation of the prohibition and is carried out by the overseer, the first offense can be exempted from liability if he can read the written order, and the second offense can be offset by half of the responsibility if he has the written order in his body, and then he needs to be questioned for the order. ”

The clerk said again.

After several people in Liangzhou heard this, they were a little unhappy in their hearts, although they did not come in public, but they were all used to being arrogant in Liangzhou, and they had never been bound by the laws of the common people. Only that Xie Ai was a little curious, and asked: "I look at this realm, there are more than 10,000 people coming and going in a moment, even if there are overseers enforcing the law, how can they picket criminals?" How can you judge a first-time offender? ”

When the official heard this, he smiled and explained: "There is a certain way to enter and exit the realm. How many people didn't know if they could be related when they passed the customs before? After entering Tianjin, the customs will be replaced by the customs, and the introduction will be divided into business and people......"

After some explanation, Xie Ai gradually understood what the so-called citation was, the customs can trace the origin of people, and the quotation can track the activities of people in Runan. People in this realm all have to enter the mansion, inn, restaurant and the like, must show the citation stamp, all walks of life with the stamp is different, whether it is prohibited in the transaction, there is no need to trace it in the downtown at all, and when you leave the country, you can hand over the citation, through the color of the stamp can be distinguished, then you will be accountable.

As for whether it is the first time it is prohibited, it is not a previous exchange, but only a single investigation. In this way, people are required to memorize the orders of the governor's office, otherwise when they leave the country, they will not know that they have violated the number of prohibitions.

"Of course, you don't need to worry about false accusations from the merchants in the middle of the government. All merchants who have the right to stamp must pay the city's money because of the level of their stamp order. Whoever is found guilty of falsehood will be severely punished. At the same time, the household can also report to the city supervisor, if there is a merchant to extort profits by exercising the right to poke, after the verification will not be fined. ”

After hearing this, Xie Ai better understood the method of the Huainan Governor's Mansion, which was to delegate the power of law enforcement to merchants and the people, and the Governor's Mansion was on top of the arbitration. Although there are certainly loopholes and drawbacks, it is still easier and faster than the direct intervention of the Metropolitan Governor's Office. Moreover, there are only 16 articles of the city's easy to carry out the order, which is not a onerous law, so that the merchants and the people have mutual constraints, and they also have their own means of self-protection, which has a great effect on the maintenance of the natural road in the market.

When the officials got off the ship, the envoys of Liangzhou began to talk again, and they were quite surprised, but they felt that Huainan was different from the many regions they had passed. The fine paper, which is seen as a treasure in the next place, is just an ordinary thing here. There is also the printing technology of the book order, which is also unseen by the people of Liangzhou. In addition, the law enforcement methods of mutual control between businessmen and people, as well as strict rules and regulations, are amazing. Don't talk about the remote Hexi, even if it is tracing back to China and North Korea, I am afraid that there are no such strict laws.

"In the final analysis, it is still because of the strong army in the land, and the law of Huainan may be feasible here, but if Hexi follows suit, I am afraid that the government and the people will be very harmful."

After discussing it for a long time, the scholars of Liangzhou also had to admit this reality. Huainan dared to give such an order here, one is that the name of "Dayi in the sky" is known at home and abroad, attracting people from the north and south to walk here, and second, there is a strong army in Huainan to deter this, so that people dare not violate the law. If it is implemented in another place, I am afraid that the tiger will not become an anti-dog, and it will not be profitable, but will suffer.

Just arrived at the dock has been an eye-opener, so after some discussion, a group of people decided not to reveal their identities for the time being, to visit the Huainan Governor's Mansion for a few more days.

But after getting off the ship, they encountered another dilemma, that is, they had no money to use. This is a bit helpless to say, although Liangzhou is not a rich and distant country, but because it is much more peaceful than the Central Plains, and they not only have the public funds of the pastoral government on this trip, but also they are all from a big family, so they will naturally not be shy in their bags. But the problem is that the money and goods they carry are not universal at all.

As a junior in this line, Xie Ai naturally had to be responsible for solving the difficulties, and after reading the book order for a while, he asked the Huainan officials for a long time, and then exchanged some coins that were common here at the City Supervision Office near the dock.

"This is the Liang Gong money used in Huainan? With such good money, it can be seen again today! ”

After everyone took the coins exchanged by Xie Ai, they put them in their hands and played with them for a while, and they were all amazed. This coin is clear and thick, the minting process is quite exquisite, and it is even more rare that it is full of weight, which is not much better than the Han five baht.

"Then Shen Weizhou was so bold that he dared to use such good money in the city. Or it can be obtained in a momentary convenience, seduce merchants from all over the world to come to the barter, but for a long time, the money will flow outside, and the people will be poor and useless, and the disaster is not far away! ”

Na Sonin twisted the coin in his hand, frowned and groaned. He never believed that Jiangdong was a copper-rich town, and if there were enemies around him who exchanged goods for money, they would roll these coins back to their own land, and then burn them and recast them, they would be greatly profitable! Huainan will have no trade due to the outflow of coins, and it will accumulate disadvantages for a long time! Even Soning himself persuaded the Lord to trade with Huainan after returning to the country, after all, Hexi is also a place of lack of money.

"This money is only used in Runan, and those who dare to sell foreign money will be punished by the head of the gang if they exceed a thousand dollars!"

Xie Ai sighed and said, and added after a while: "However, it is not completely forbidden, anyone who loses copper, iron, cattle and horses can choose to trade money, and the money can flow out of the country." ”

After everyone heard this, some did not understand very much, but if they understood a little, they could all feel Huainan's ambition.
