It was dawning, and the flow of people from all over the city was converging in one direction, some of them had just risen, others had simply stayed awake all night.

Long Ji is one of the people who stayed up all night, of course he knew that today was the day when the statue outside Miyagi Square was unveiled, and standing on his balcony all night was reminiscing about his past, and he was also watching the nightless Nanling Castle that was like a pearl at night.

Many people like to recall the past, such a person is either an old man or a person whose career is not going well, Long and this year is only twenty or six is not considered an old man, but his most elegant life has become a thing of the past, and now he is just a person who relies on his family background and the help of friends, and lives in Nanling City without success.

Long Ji is lurking in Nanling City, what big thing do you want to do? Perhaps, but now he looked at the people who were constantly gathering in one direction, and those people were talking in various accents, among which there was no shortage of the most authentic Wu Nong Chu language, and a man who was only twenty-six years old actually appeared with a face full of vicissitudes and loneliness.

"There are a lot of Wuhou today?"

"Yes, I heard that nearly 80,000 garrisons and martial marquis were dispatched."

"It should be like this, there are many people who come to Nanling from all over today to watch the unveiling of the statue."

The current inhabitants of Nanling City have reached more than 700,000, and it is no longer a huge city where there are not many civilians except for the garrison.

At the beginning, it was not difficult to settle in Nanling City, but after the population in the city exceeded 500,000, the land resources were no longer so surplus, and if you wanted to live in Nanling City, you first needed to be able to afford the cost of buying land and building houses, so the result was the rapid influx of rich households into Nanling, and some people with insufficient economic conditions could only choose to live in some counties and townships around Nanling, which also brought enough population to Nanling, and brought enough labor force to a series of workshops and factories outside the city.

Gyeonggi has always been one of the most prosperous regions in the country. Nanling City is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, so after the political status is added, coupled with the convenience of water transportation, the population attracted is even more huge.

Including Nanling City and its surroundings, the population living in this area has exceeded 1.5 million, and the population of Nanjun County, which is directly related to Zhili County, has 6.8 million, which is the largest among all counties under Lu Zhe's rule.

Because there was enough labor, Nanjun became the foundation of the first industrial base under Lu Zhe's rule, and the lack of labor in workshops and factories brought about rapid economic development, but the pressure on law and order also increased.

Nanjun has a long-term garrison of more than 300,000, of which the number of Nanling garrisons is 100,000. The forbidden army stationed in Nanling has always been maintained at the scale of 100,000, and the remaining 100,000 troops are stationed in each county.

In addition to the military troops, there are also many armed forces that do not belong to the military under Lu Zhe's rule, such as the main force for maintaining law and order, the public security, which is subordinate to the ruling government, and the number of public security personnel throughout the country has reached 450,000, of which 130,000 are on the list of Nanjun.

In addition to the public security, there is another unit that does not belong to the military, and that is a unit called the Wuhou Army, which is actually not elite. Wuhou has always been referring to the group of patrol soldiers who maintain law and order in the national capital.

Gong'an and Wuhou are basically demobilized personnel from the army after being discharged, and they are considered to be one of the reserve forces in Lu Zhe's country.

Nanling, which has no curfew, needs a very large security force, and there will be no less than 20,000 garrison soldiers and military marquis soldiers patrolling various roads and areas every night, of which 10,000 are garrison soldiers. The other 10,000 are Wu Hou pawns.

For a city with a radius of at least thirty miles, 20,000 patrolmen is not much, and their patrol system is divided into three shifts, such as 12 a.m. to 8 a.m. From 8 o'clock in the morning to 16 o'clock in the afternoon, from 16 o'clock in the afternoon to 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, then it can also be seen that the Wuhou establishment of Nanling Patrol Street must be more than 30,000?

In fact, the establishment of the Wuhou of Nanling Patrol Street is 50,000. They do not belong to the military system, but are specifically subordinate to the Nanling Lieutenant under the ruling government system. In addition to the need to participate in the security of Nanling in three shifts, they also need to be responsible for the coordinated defense of the twelve city gates of Nanling together with the garrison guards, and the troops guarding the city gates are an army belonging to a special city gate captain.

The position of Nanling Lieutenant is equivalent to the partial general of the military, and there are six colonels under Nanling Lieutenant, and the establishment of each lieutenant is 5,000 people.

In addition, according to the regulations of Chinese culture, each gate of Nanling City has a city gate captain, the city gate captain is responsible for the security of the city gate, the status of the city gate captain is high and low, such as the city outside the non-national capital also has the city gate captain, but the city gate captain of the capital is equivalent to the military marquis, and the city gate captain of other ordinary cities is equivalent to the military commander or team rate.

There will also be a special city gate captain in the pass, and the rank of the city gate captain in the pass will generally go higher, the more important the pass is the higher the military rank, but it is generally not lower than the captain, and the highest is a person who is essentially a general, but the official title is still called the city gate captain, such as the Hangu Pass city gate captain and the like.

Even when the country enters a state of war, the power of the gate captain is large enough to attack the approaching unknown army, even if the attack is a friendly army, as long as the friendly army approaching the city gate does not report or violates the warning that the city gate captain must not approach, then the city gate captain will not be punished for attacking friendly troops, and it is more likely that he will be rewarded more often

Every city must also have an official lieutenant, the county is the county lieutenant, and the county is the capital lieutenant.

The county lieutenant is still a position to manage public order rather than the army, and the county lieutenant of each county is not an army, but a kind of rural armed personnel called public security, which is almost the same as the wandering in the Qin and Han dynasties, or the knife in the yamen in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The Governor is the supreme commander in charge of the military of a county, but except for the Commanders of the border counties and the Governor of the Border Counties, there are not many troops in charge of the Inland Commanders. For example, the governor of the border county is responsible for commanding the border army to fight or defend against foreign countries, while the governor of the border county is responsible for commanding a group of soldiers to eliminate disobedience and consolidate the rule.

What is Mi County? Most of them refer to the new territory that has just been occupied by the army, and refers to the areas where the people's hearts, public security, and economy are poor, and the territory in the form of attachment is also counted as one of them, so the counties of some subject countries are actually regarded as the counties of the county.

To take the simplest example, Goguryeo during the Li and Tang dynasties was one of the Tang Dynasty's prefectures, but the actual rulers of Goguryeo's territory were the Goguryeo royal family. It's just that the king of Goguryeo was a courtier of the Tang Emperor. The Emperor's courtiers? So according to the Chinese rules of "the whole world is not the king's minister, and the whole world is not the king's land", the courtier's territory is naturally owned by the emperor, even if the emperor has no actual right to rule.

Lu Zhe does not have a tributary system at present, and the county is really in the border county or the newly occupied territory, and the current number of people in the county is not small, all over the Central Plains, the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, the forests of southern Xinjiang, and even the many islands occupied by the navy are also planned to become a new county, these are all counties of the county.

The garrison guards came from all over the country, but Wuhou was recruited from the veterans in the Nanling household register. Therefore, the patrol of Nanling City by the guards and the marquis of Wu was out of a balance consideration. The independent structure to which the city gate captain belonged was also a balancing and security arrangement.

Unveil the statues everywhere? This news had been publicized as early as a month ago, so that in addition to the residents of Nanling City, the city gates were also full of people waiting for the city gates to be opened early in the morning.

Because of the special situation, after the communication between the officials of the two systems, the number of guards patrolling the streets and the number of military marquis has been specially increased today, and some important areas have even arranged for non-commissioned officers to stand guard, so that the civilians walking around the streets see a much more number of official armed personnel than usual.

Because of the booming economy, the snack industry has developed rapidly, whether it is a beginner or a sleepless night. When they walk on the street, most of them carry breakfast in their hands, and the breakfast is diverse, mostly some steamed buns and the like, and the most special thing is that most of them will also have a bag or a bucket of soy milk in their hands.

Don't wonder how to hold soy milk without a plastic bag. Can't you use leather without plastic? However, you will need to bring your own leather bag. And the so-called "one bucket" is not a bucket, but a bamboo tube.

Long He opened a breakfast shop pù in Nanling City, so that he had a source of funds to maintain his daily life, and the breakfast shop pù was busy except in the early morning. After the morning is done, there is no too complicated business, and I can maintain a certain amount of leisure.

Does Lu Zhe know that the former general Long under the command of the Xiang clan lives in Nanling City? There is no doubt about it. Long did not change his name and surname, and his household registration under Lu Zhe was very perfect. Then the dragon and the residence in Nanling are also known.

Exterminate the Xiang clan and remove the influence of the Xiang clan, but Lu Zhe is only searching for members of the Xiang family, and he is tolerant of others, which is a method at that stage in order to be able to quickly integrate Chu Di. When it came to eliminating the influence of the Xiang family, Chu Di quickly integrated into Lu Zhe's rule with the cooperation of Xiong Xin and a group of officials from the original Chu State, in order not to cause panic, most of it was also because it was unnecessary, and Lu Zhe did not pursue some people who originally belonged to the Xiang family, but no longer disturbed the situation.

Rulers, in addition to bloody killing of those who do not obey their rule, physically and mentally exterminating, always have to properly show the necessary tolerance, obviously the former Xiang general Long He is a good signboard, Lu Zhe also used this "signboard" to calm people's hearts. Even the former general Long under the command of the Xiang clan is not pursued, what are some of the little shrimps who followed the Xiang clan in the past still worried about, right?

"Proprietor, the goods are all sold."

A call made the dragon lean to look downstairs.

Today's traffic is relatively high, and although the food sold has been specially increased, it is still sold out earlier than usual.

"Proprietor, can I rest after cleaning up?"

The guy is not the old department of Long He, Lu Zhe gives relative tolerance, but he will not allow some people to gang up again, some sensitive people are actually well-informed about this, they secretly think about what they will do, but on the surface, no one will die, so the guy is Long and hired from the neighbors in the city.

With the king himself presiding over the unveiling, who wouldn't want to go and watch it? They are interested in the unveiling ceremony, but more often they want to "see the sky" and so on. And Lu Zhe does not appear in public many times, and only the three festivals of the New Year's Chinese New Year's Eve, the Winter Solstice Festival, and the Cold Food Festival every year, or the ceremony of worshipping the generals, will appear in public, and the rest of the time the common people want to see if their ruler is not even thinking about it.

Oh, New Year's Chinese New Year's Eve is not a festival set by Lu Zhe, the ancient pre-Qin had the concept of New Year, but it was not in the first month, it was set in October every year according to the customs of Yin Shang. In ancient times, the pre-Qin dynasty always regarded the first day of October as the beginning of a new year, and the first day of the first lunar month really became the Chinese New Year's Eve until after the Han Wudi Liu Che implemented the "solar calendar". So, in fact, the Winter Solstice Festival in December is the "real" New Year in the true sense of the word.

At present, the first day of the first lunar month is called New Year's Day, from the beginning of Yin Shang to the present, New Year's Day is not a festival celebrated by the whole country, it is a day for the ancients to worship the gods and ancestors.

The guy is going to the square outside the palace to see the excitement, and the dragon naturally can't stop it, in fact, he hasn't slept all night and is waiting for today's unveiling, but what he is looking at is not the unveiling of the statue outside the palace, but to go to the largest public park in Nanling City, where there will be the unveiling of the carved wall, which is a sculpture wall of some important events from ancient times to the present.

Long He heard that those sculptures and paintings were very rich, and since it was from the Xia Dynasty, he was eager to see if there would be content of the homeland.

"Proprietor, shall we go?"

"Well, go ahead, go ahead."

The man left, and the dragon also left the balcony, and soon appeared on the street.

There are also parks in Nanling North City, but the scale of parks in North City is smaller than that in other areas, but the number is relatively large. The layout of the parks in Beishi is very particular, and it is considered to provide temporary resting places for people who are tired of walking, so there will be one every few distances, but because of their small scale, these parks are gradually popular in the carving culture under the rule of Lu Zhe, and there is no big place to place, just some fantasy small figures or animal carvings.

The real large-scale sculptures are some medium and large parks, most of which are located in residential areas, and the so-called residential areas are divided into the south and east of the city, with civilian residential areas and residential areas for wealthy merchants and officials, and the most special thing is that a special area is also set aside for the military officers as residential areas.

The place where Long He is going is to belong to the officer's residential area, which is full of martial families, and Lu Zhe has put some heavy event sculpture walls from the Youxia Dynasty to the present for some purposes, and the rest of the area will not be more complete than there even if there are similar sculpture walls.
