Jizhou, Nanpi City.

The huge castle guard seemed a little empty.

As the place where Yuan Shao once lived, the city guard mansion in Nanpi was much more luxurious than the ordinary county seat, and when he first moved in, he was really excited for a while, but in the past two years, he has become more and more dissatisfied with this place. It's not that the mansion has become dilapidated, it's just that this cold energy really makes him irritable.

"Letter from Qingzhou? Whose? Even if he has a little conscience, he knows how to write a letter, as long as he is not here to show off, read it to me. Shan Jing reclined on the couch, digging out his ears, and waving his hand at the scribe who came to report, looking careless.

The "......" scribe was obviously surprised, and sent it for a while before he replied blankly: "General Shan, it's a letter from Qingzhou!" It's a handwritten letter from a hussar general! ”

"What!" Shan Jing turned over and jumped up, stared at him, and said in disbelief: "Is it him?" What is he going to do? ”

His panicked appearance made the scribe speechless for a while.

What is sè Li Nei, this is it. In Nanpi City, if anyone has ears to hear and eyes to see, who doesn't know that General Shan is not used to hussar generals?

Of course, General Shan can't be blamed for this, the generals under the account always ask for leave all day long, and run to Gaotang whenever they are free. Everyone has gone to Gaotang, even if they occupy the gorgeous and spacious Taishou Mansion, this Taishou Mansion is not a taste?

In the same way, the generals who always run the Tang Dynasty have not made mistakes, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and the lively and prosperous Gao Tang Dynasty does not go, who wants to nest in Nanpi like a remote mountain village?

If it weren't for the convenience, the scribe himself would have wanted to go to Gaotang a few more times, the mother-in-law at home was chattering about Gaotang's silk cloth, and his son chased him every day to ask for candy to eat - if it weren't for the fact that there were always colleagues who brought some local products back from Gaotang, who knew that sugar could make so many tricks?

white sugar as white as winter snow and as fine as sea sand; The kraft candy that is constantly pulled and cannot be broken; Sugar gourds, sugar soup, sugar people, honey juice, all kinds of snacks with frosting, even adults will swallow involuntarily when they see it, let alone children.

The output of these things is not large, it is not convenient to preserve, and the price is not too high, so although there are many merchants in Qingzhou, few people will carry this kind of thing to sell around, and only in Gaotang can you buy it anytime and anywhere.

When the old people describe a happy life, they will say that life is as sweet as honey, now look at it, don't people live in honey?

Every time I thought of this, the scribe felt the urge to give himself two slaps in the face. The current residents of Gaotang, just a few years ago, are they still some people? Refugees, displaced people, grass people...... Those with noble status are rare, and as long as they are willing to go, they can be resettled.

From the bottom of my heart, this condition is still very generous, but it can't stand people's words!

Including General Shan, many local celebrities who have been to see it have said that Gaotang is not a city at all, but a large shack temporarily erected in order to resettle refugees, which is a refugee area.

They are not purely biased, think about it, in the Hebei border to build a house, do not use earth, stone and bricks, only wood, can this house be warm? After more than a month of work, a city that can accommodate 100,000 people was built, what a humble place it must be? It's not the army encamped!

After hearing the unanimous words of many celebrities and masters, the people who were still a little stupid and wanted to go to Gaotang to occupy a place dispelled their thoughts.

It really doesn't cost much to settle down in Gaotang, but how long can that kind of temporary place last? Trimester? Half? Who knows?

When the refugee camp is dispersed, will it take hundreds of miles to come back? At that time, it was not a human being, was it?

Therefore, although the matter of building a new city in the Tang Dynasty has been in an uproar and spread throughout Hebei, there are few people who are really moved and put into action except for the poor and the displaced people who have suffered from military disasters.

Someone like a scribe didn't even move his mind, and he worked well in the yamen, who wants to go to the refugee camp to suffer?

As a result, a year later, Gaotang City is not only still alive, but also developing rapidly with a jaw-dropping momentum, becoming the most dynamic place in the entire Hebei.

It is said that at the same time that the hussar general ordered the change of the name of the 'Kaiyuan' year, the Qingzhou Civil Division made a detailed count of the capital, and found that in the year after the founding of the city, the population of Gaotang skyrocketed from 100,000 to 100,000 households!

This alone is all over the world, except for Luoyang before the war, there is no city comparable to Gaotang.

Because the Gaotang Dynasty implemented a system of coming and going, and there was no decree that forcibly relocated local wealthy households to enrich the capital as in the Han Wu era, the high concentration of population largely reflected the prosperity and attractiveness of Gaotang New Town.

This statistic has made Qingzhou's civil affairs officials happy and worried, and although a large population is a good thing, it is not without its disadvantages that it is too concentrated. In Qingzhou, where the land is tense, there is a phenomenon of abandonment around Gaotang, and even some villages have directly become ** - people have gone to Gaotang City, and the original family business has naturally been abandoned.

Just before and after Wang Yu rode south to Xuzhou, Gaotang accepted people from all over the world, and the attitude of not refusing to come finally changed. The city no longer accepts new residents unconditionally, but only opens its doors to special people with special status, such as students, skilled craftsmen, and well-educated scholars.

At the same time, the city itself no longer expanded to the periphery, but began to set up so-called satellite cities, such as Pingyuan, Yanxian, Lingxian, Longcuo and other surrounding cities.

It is said that the Qingzhou Yamen also posted a notice to calm the people, indicating that the people under its jurisdiction would start construction in other places one after another after having the experience of building a city in Gaotang, and build a new city in the same mode.

Qingzhou's future prospects, the scribe didn't care, he just needed to know that there was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him, but he gave it up without cherishing it.

I don't know when it began, going to Gaotang for a game or business trip has become a new fashion in Nanpi City, and those sugar people or something are just the most inconspicuous of the many benefits of Gaotang.

Teahouses, theaters, and restaurants are all good places for leisure and entertainment, with the most jīng food, the most interesting storytelling, the best dramas and the most beautiful tunes.

If you can't keep your legs idle, you can also play in the so-called shopping streets, where there is a wide variety of goods, and every few days, new food or goods are introduced. Just looking at it, it's already a great enjoyment, if you can buy a few things to use, tsk, it's really a rì that the gods can't enjoy.

With the advent of printing, the libraries and bookstores of the Tang Dynasty have sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain, and with the Confucianism of Taishan Academy who served as professors, this is simply the Lingxiao Treasure Hall for studying!

In short, in this place, there is only what you can't think of, there will be nothing you can't see, and as for whether you can see it or not, it must be that you don't work hard enough.

In the past, those celebrities who slandered Gaotang City have also changed their tunes and flocked to Gaotang like a crane, and when they came back, they all looked comfortable and regretful. Telling others about what he saw and heard in Gaotang made people shout, and it has also become a new fashion in the celebrity circle.

Now in Nanpicheng, or the entire jurisdiction of the Gongsun Army, the most popular and sought-after position is not the Taishou of Bohai, Hejian, and Anping, but the liaison officer of the Gongsun Army in Qingzhou!

The advantage of this liaison officer is not only that they can work and live in Gaotang City justifiably, but more importantly, they can always enjoy the high-standard hospitality of Qingzhou!

Because of the delicate relationship between the two armies, the Qingzhou side did its best to get around the liaison officers of the Gongsun Army, and in addition to the necessary supplies in life, there would be many surprises from time to time.

For example, in the ribbon-cutting event of the opening of a new store, in addition to receiving red envelopes from the store owner, you can also experience various new products for the first time!

The former treatment, even the officials of Qingzhou can't enjoy it, it's not that people don't give it, it's that they don't accept it! I can't accept it, I don't dare to accept it, even if I accidentally accept it, I must report it to my boss and hand over the red envelope to the public.

There is no way, Qingzhou's laws and regulations are so strict and unkind.

And the second item is even more remarkable, one step ahead of others, it is a great honor, and the sense of superiority that can be enjoyed by filial piety in the past is almost the same.

Now Gaotang's new products are on the market very quickly, but the volume is usually not large, because each product has a process of research and development to test the water, and some products are very smooth when they are developed, but after a few days on the market, they may stop production due to cost, profit, popularity and other considerations.

Although the Chinese people respect the tradition and stick to the old ways, as long as this half-new product has something special, it is likely to be re-sought after after a period of time. Because the workshop has ceased production, these things have become quite similar to the antiques of later generations.

While no one can predict what kind of products will be back in demand, many people have made it a habit to snap up a new product and go home whenever a new store opens.

Therefore, the VIPs who can participate in the ribbon-cutting of the new store and the launch of new products will not only have the possible benefits in the future, but also have a lot of face.

In order to get this position, except for the firm Qingzhou Hei Danjing, and Wang Yu's iron buddy Tian Kai did not participate, the generals of the Gongsun Army almost broke their heads for this.

In the end, Gongsun Zhan saw that it was not a problem, so he simply discussed it with the Qingzhou side, and finally sent five liaison officers in Gaotang, representing the five counties of Youbeiping, Yuyang, Bohai, Anping, and Hejian......

Because of this, Wang Yu's handwritten letter arrived in Nanpi.

The scribe and Shan Jing were not surprised, it must be that the bastard surnamed Gong killed three parties on the mahjong table again, and grabbed this opportunity to meet Wang Yu, but the letter was sent to Nanpi, and it had to be transferred once before it could be delivered to Gongsun Zhan.

What's this called? Shan Jing scolded in his heart.

Who is this? The scribe is also slandering in his heart, don't look at the usual arrogance, he was scared of this virtue by a letter from others, what are you arrogant?

Hearing that it was Wang Yu's letter, Shan Jing didn't dare to be careless, he took it, thought about it, gritted his teeth, ripped off the fire paint on the envelope, and when Zhan Xin saw it, he immediately gasped.

It took him a long time before he came back to his senses and commanded, "Quick! Prepare the horses! Ben is going to Yijing to meet the lord! (To be continued.) )
