The first "city that never sleeps" in history is Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, also known as Tokyo, which is actually the modern Kaifeng.

At that time, the cities of all countries in the world were dark at night, and only the capital of the Great Song Dynasty was at night because of the development of commerce and the need for light to make people play, and the shops would light up lanterns to do business. When the Westerners and Central Asians came to Bianjing, they passed the news back, and the rest of the people, except for the Song people, knew that there was a city in the far east that was still bright at night, and they called Bianjing, which was still lit up at night, "the city of light".

With the productivity of the late Qin Dynasty, the current commercial situation and the purchasing power of the people, it is okay for Lu Zhe to occasionally play the "city that never sleeps", but if he wants to keep the city with enough light every night, he can't do it at all.

Nowadays, lighting is generally lit with vegetable oil, and lanterns made of juan and silk are absolutely a luxury in the absence of paper, so the lamp oil lighting that is not so combustible in an open space will definitely be blown out by the wind. There is also a means of lighting that relies on animal fat wrapped in cloth strips, or wrapped around some animal fat very sufficient internal organs, such a torch burns up with very strong combustibility, but because the burning is too strong, a careless must cause a fire, must need to have a special person to take care of it.

The buildings in Nanling City are divided into two types, one is the building that uses a large number of cement mixed wood, bricks, stones and other structures under the influence of Lu Zhe, and the other is the house with almost no stone structure to maintain the timber and straw.

In fact, the use of cement can really improve people's lives, not to mention the cement road surface, in fact, as long as it is not so exaggerated, the use of cement structures without steel support, with the use of a large amount of wood and the necessary turning heads and stones in contemporary building specifications, there is no problem at all to build a very solid two-story building.

There is a saying that if something is good, it will be imitated, Lu Zhe likes to use cement for everything, and recently he has been fascinated by the design of more than ten zhang high character statues, so Nanling is the administrative center of Lu Zhe. Whether it is an official in the system or a leader of the people, how can they not be popular with the preferences of the rulers?

The foreign officials who walked at night gradually became accustomed to the easy concrete road along the way, and they were not so frightened by the guards standing some distance away from the roadside, and began to observe the buildings on both sides of the road. They found some changes in the layout of the buildings, such as the vegetable garden that used to be there to be an empty vestibule, the fence seemed to be changed to a half-human-high mud structure, and the main building became a two-story building.

The people of the capital have a very high standard of living, they live in a clean and tidy city. For a little money, you can enjoy running water in your home, you can go to a public bathhouse when you want to take a bath, and you can go to that park to see the pool that sprays water in your spare time, and the living conditions are much better than those officials who are county officials and county magistrates.

There is an urban area called "Food Street" in Nanling City, oh...... The current "city" is actually a place dedicated to trading, and it was called "Fang" in the Tang and Song dynasties.

I heard that most people haven't been there yet, and they have heard that a lot of the food in the food court comes from Miyagi. Although absolute authenticity is not guaranteed. But they are all their own kings let the chef specially study the way to eat, the same ingredients are made in different ways, there are many kinds of eating, Nanling's newborn thing called stir-fry not only smells fragrant, but also tastes extremely refreshing.

With a variety of fresh moods. They didn't know how long they had walked, but when they came to a vast square, they saw many bonfires and many armor-clad guards.

"Line up by rank!" A military attache who looked like a military marquis was shouting repeatedly: "Wait a minute, I will enter the (palace) city according to the rank." Line up by rank! ”

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a Jin State that had a paranoid pursuit of "good and tidy", which was actually about discipline, and everything needed to be lined up according to rank to maintain integrity and discipline. In fact, the Qin State also pursued "good time". It's just paranoia in military operations, most of the officials were appointed by the Qin State, and they were still officials after the rise of Lu Zhe, and they were no strangers to the requirements of discipline.

Which line should the county commander line up, and which line the county magistrate and county order, they quickly lined up according to the instructions of the garrison guards, and the people who came later only needed to line up behind the people who came first according to their rank.

For the middle and high-level officials such as the county six Cao, the county cheng, and the county guard, the garrison army has maintained enough respect, and it must be in front of the county-level team.

That is, the civilian nature of the people lining up to let the garrison worry about the guards, the people of the military system came to the square early after they took a good shot according to the rank, the number of military marquis among them is relatively small, the number of captains seems to be numerous, the military attachés of the generals and partial generals are restraining the captains and military marquis, and at the same time, the generals and partial generals will also go from time to time to report to senior generals such as Gongwei, Sima Xin, and Ji Bu.

The military system is lined up according to the construction of the legion, and there are now four legions under Lu Zhe, outside the eastern, southern, and northern legions are the forbidden army, and the supreme commander of the forbidden army is Lu Zhe, so the front of the three legions is a military general at the level of Zhonglang general, and the front of the team of the forbidden army is a general-level general. However, the position of the generals and colonels of the forbidden army is definitely higher than that of the eastern, southern, and northern legions, after all, it is Lu Zhe's direct subordinate troops, according to the classification of A, B, C, and D, the forbidden army must be the first armor.

There will be noise when queuing, waiting for the queue to finish, not how undisciplined people will be affected by the atmosphere of the scene, you can't everyone stand in line and not speak, and then you "chirp" endlessly, right? So the line was lined up, and there was no sound except for the occasional footsteps and the "whirring" of the campfire as it was blown by the strong wind.

Therefore, the Miyagi garrison guards who were waiting for duty no longer shouted, and the civil and military officials lined up in a queue, looking down from the walls of Miyagi, were lined up in six queues, the county and the county. The "officials" of the "officials" of the county six Cao are always two people side by side, the county magistrate and the county commander have become a long line because of the large number, a small number of county guards have become a small group of themselves, and the military marquis, captains, generals, and partial generals in the army have divided themselves into three long lines.

I don't know how long it tossed, but the eastern sky began to whiten, and the three towering gates of Miyagi slowly opened in a tooth-souring "crunch" sound.

Standing at the city tower, he stared at the neatly arranged team below, and shouted: "Enter!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the three city gates happened to be completely opened, Gongwei, Sima Xin, and Ji Bu smiled at each other and did not speak, and walked towards the city gate in the instruction of "entering", they each chose a city gate, Sima Xin walked the city gate in the middle because of his meritorious service, and Ji Bu also walked the city gate on the left because of his meritorious exploits in the battle of the Southern Expedition, and the city gate on the right was naturally walked by the Gongwei. They could not have been alone, behind them were the generals of the three subordinate legions.

The forbidden army only took steps after the three legions entered the palace, and they also walked through the middle gate, after all, the military is special, and these generals are also the ones who followed Lu Zhe to participate in the Changsha Baiyue Annihilation War, and they have the qualifications to go to the middle gate.

The military team left, and there were special guards on duty to arrange a group of civilian officials, and the county guards were qualified to go through the middle gate because of their high rank, but the rest of the civilian officials could only enter from the left gate and the right gate in two directions, and the middle gate was not open to them.

Some people may mumble something in their hearts, such as "the Lord does not attach importance to civilian officials" and "the specifications and treatment of military attaches are higher than those of civilian officials", but what is wrong with Lu Zhe attaching importance to the military, they have achieved their current achievements by relying on the army's sword, gun, and arrow, and in the future, the army will need to expand a larger territory, and it is inevitable that military attaches importance to it.

In fact, this kind of behavior is very good, with differential specifications and treatment can cultivate the military's sense of honor, at least when the military generals found that the civilian group was treated differently from their own, almost all military attaches subconsciously hooked the corners of their mouths, and their chests involuntarily straightened, only to shout "Lao Tzu is a soldier, Lao Tzu is proud" such a meaty remark.

Entering Miyagi, the people who were not qualified to enter before were all peeking at the surrounding environment with wide eyes and the corners of their eyes, and under the first rays of sunlight in the east, they saw a relatively large square, but the ground was paved with cement roads compared to the dirt square outside Miyagi.

The cement road in the Miyagi city is only temporary, but in the future, the square outside Miyagi will be made of cement, and the square inside Miyagi will be made of granite.

"There are so many ...... 'cities'."

I don't know who made this feeling, but the word "castle" in his mouth refers to the ramparts of the palace castle, that is, the layout of the wall that separates the view and has a defensive nature.

Of course, how can Miyagi be an endless emptiness, such a layout can only be seen in film and television works. In fact, the layout of the palace castle of all dynasties is very complicated, if you are not familiar with the terrain and break in, you will definitely get lost, after all, it is about the safety of the ruler of a country, can you not consider the defensive nature? In addition, the complex terrain also prevented the garrison from leaking through the Assassins, making it difficult for the Assassins to find the building where the ruler was located when entering such a complex pattern.

"Silence!" Mengsan's ears were very sensitive, and he heard the whispers coming from the civilian clique.

At this time, no one dared to speak anymore, they were all silently moving under the guidance of the guards, but their eyes still couldn't help but look around...... (To be continued......)
