Another noble guest came to Pingliang City, a handsome man about twenty years old, who was accompanied by Zou Yan, visiting the academy. He is one of the few people who is qualified to visit the academy because he is the crown prince.

Yan has always been the Yun family's most important trading partner in the East, and the seafood in Bohai Bay will earn a lot of profits for the Yun family every year. Not only the Yun family, but also the general of the Yan royal family, Ju Wu, also made a lot of money. With the support of the military and the Yan royal family. The Yun family's business in Yan Country can be described as smooth sailing, and no one dares to trouble the Yun family.

Prince Dan came to Pingliang in person this time to see this rich city that has spread throughout the six eastern countries. Although he was prepared in his heart, when he really saw the wealth and prosperity of Pingliang City, Prince Dan was still shocked.

The wide gallop could accommodate twenty carriages in parallel, and the road was paved with a layer of black stuff. The carriage galloped on it without a bit of bumps. The commercial ports along the street are one after the other, all of which are three-storey buildings. It's a clean and tidy mess, and the ground is so clean that it's been licked by dogs. Prince Dan tried very hard to find a leaf, but in the end he could only return in vain.

Compared with the orderly order of the wide streets, what surprised Prince Dan the most was that. Despite its reputation, Pingliang City is not prosperous. There were very few pedestrians on the streets, and many people were crammed into a kiosk. When a huge carriage came, the mermaids rushed in, as if throwing a coin into the box at the door.

"Mr. Zou Yan, why did these people give the carriage money?" Prince Dan was a little confused, this was the first time he had seen this kind of wide carriage. He didn't understand why these people were crowded into a carriage, according to his understanding, this kind of carriage was usually exclusive to the powerful, but no matter how you looked at the demeanor and clothing of those people, it had nothing to do with the powerful.

"That? Hehe! It was a public carriage in Pingliang, which covered an area of more than 20 miles. Civilians were forbidden to ride horses in the city, so Hou Ye came up with the idea of such a public carriage. There is a penny for each ride, and the carriage will be at a fixed stop. It is the kind of small pavilion that stops in front of it, and there will be such a small pavilion in every mile, so that people can easily move in Pingliang City.

Ay! We are still very little, a city larger than Xianyang, and the total population is less than one-fifth of Xianyang City. Speaking of the population problem, Zou Yan couldn't help but sigh. Now in order to develop the population, Yun Yue even began to accept the Qiang people who were the first to be tamed to a certain extent, and many Qiang people who survived the battlefield were registered, and their nationality column was filled with the three words Huaxia people. And the families of those Qiang soldiers who died in battle were directly labeled as Chinese. Yun Yue believes that the blood of their relatives is already worthy of their family to receive this glorious title.

The registered Qiang people were grateful, and they vowed to be more loyal to Pingliang than their dead relatives. Yun Yue believed that the next battle Qiang soldiers would burst out with terrifying combat effectiveness. In the battle of Donghu, Yun Yue had already discovered that this was a group of madmen who did not want to die. They have gone crazy so that their families can live better. A lot of people are completely fighting for their lives. You give me a knife, I'll give you a shot. Even if you die, I have to pull you to make a cushion and boil up a little military merit.

There is no shortage of Donghu people who live in the old forest all the year round, but when they meet the Qiang soldiers who don't want to die, they can only hate them on the spot.

"The northwest is poor and the land is not suitable for farming. Even if there is a population, it will not be able to feed it. Prince Dan said with some self-righteousness. In fact, he did not know the northwest, according to the understanding of the Chinese people in the past. Beyond Longyou in the northwest is a wasteland, and from time to time there is a large desert Gobi. This kind of terrain is not suitable for human habitation, and only Qiang people like savages can survive there.

Regarding Prince Dan's sitting in the well and watching the sky, Zou Yan smiled and said nothing. It doesn't matter if the land is poor or if there is a lack of water. It's just a matter of what kind of people build here, in fact, there are large areas of desert more than 100 miles north of Pingliang. In order to prevent the southern invasion of the desert, Yunyue once mobilized a large number of manpower to plant trees on the edge of the desert.

But even that endless sand was burned into glass by Yun Yue that was more expensive than gold and silver. Every day, it was wrapped in layers of linen cloth and loaded into a wagon covered with hay, and sold all over the world. A small glass can be exchanged for two maidservants in Yan Kingdom. When it comes to the ability to turn stones into gold, Zou Yan is simply a five-body throw to Yun Yue.

Zou Yan's carriage marched on the galloping road, and the police officers of the police station carrying wooden sticks in their hands saw the iron plate in front of the carriage, so they turned a blind eye to the carriage galloping on the galloping road.

Jing Ke looked at all this in amazement, the city was always new to him. Why are places like restaurants and tea shops in the outer city, and why are there no customers still standing at the door? Why is there not many people walking around on such a clean and tidy street? Why is there no bullies here to bully the weak, and the children are playing happily on the side of the street without fear of traffickers abducting. Jing Ke's mind was full of all kinds of question marks, but Qin Wuyang was much simpler in comparison. Why can't you see stray vicious dogs on the cool streets?

How did he know that dogs were forbidden in Pingliang City. Not to mention dogs, even chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. are not allowed. Of course, there is only one animal that is an exception. That is the cat, which is an animal that Yun Yue specially approved to be raised in Pingliang City. Because in addition to being cute and cute, cats also have another function, that is, catching mice.

Thanks to these cats, the number of rats has been kept at a relatively low level. Even in a granary, there are not many mice. Nowadays, most cats have nothing to do and lie on the roof all day doing nothing. Some are said to have run away from home. Head out of town in search of those delicious rodents.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the head of Wusun Ji, and the visit to the academy was nothing more than a pretense. This time, Prince Dan's purpose is also very clear. Armor and weapons, without the threat of the Donghu people, the Yan Kingdom felt a greater threat. That is, the Huns, who were even more brutal than the Donghu people, although they had just occupied the entire territory of Donghu. The Huns had not yet established their foothold, but there had been more than a dozen incidents of sporadic cross-border raids. Yan Guo is desperate to get Pingliang's support. Buy good enough weapons and armor to compete with the Huns. Now, Pingliang has become the biggest arms dealer in the Warring States Period.

"A thousand Qin crossbows, two thousand pairs of chain mail, and a thousand sabers......" Wusun Ji Chang read Prince Dan's list, his brows furrowed. (To be continued.) )
