In the early morning, when the eastern sky revealed the first faint white of the fish's belly, the whole city was still immersed in a hazy frost and mist.

The drums in the military camp in the south of the city mixed with the sound of the soldiers' drills have sounded, and then, the morning bell on the bell and drum tower in the east of the city rang, and the bell in the Longwang Temple in the west of the city rang together with the chanting of the Taoist priests, and then the bell in the Longshan Temple in the south of the city and the chanting of the monks in the morning class also sounded almost at the same time.

With the continuous ringing of bells, the whole city suddenly woke up, and in the sound of bells and drums, the army stationed in the city, as well as the unity soldiers, the security team, the gendarmerie team, and the urban management team, began to run in line on the streets. Immediately afterwards, the students of the various Scout schools also shouted their trumpets neatly and ran through under the leadership of the instructors. Then, the students from various schools in Dengzhou City also wore their own school uniforms and ran one team after another. In the end, even the girls from various girls' schools ran together.

The neat one-two-one trumpets of soldiers and students matched the sound of neat steps, and the unique vigor and sharpness of the Zhenguo Army woke the whole city from its slumber.

When the golden morning sun rises from the sea, and the golden light reflects on the rooftops of the city. The city of Xindenju has only just been built with a high earthen wall. But nine gates with nine majestic gates have been opened. Under the city gate, there are people who go out of the city early to work, as well as people who live outside the city and come to work in the shops in the city as soon as possible, as well as people who come to deliver goods come in and out in an endless stream, forming the morning rush hour.

They rode donkeys, drove wagons, mule carts, and pushed coal carts. Pulling fresh vegetables, crowded into the city.

On both sides of the city's main thoroughfares, the early shop owners shouted hard, the hooves of mules and horses and the squeaks of wheels rolling across the stone paths, and the loud voices of part-time newsboys.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Kyushu Daily made headlines on the front page today, Wang Xianzhi broke through Ruzhou City and captured the younger brother of the prime minister of the dynasty, Ruzhou Assassin Wang Shackles! Come and take a look! ”

"The first issue of Zhenguo Weekly was issued, and this week's news, the latest cultivation of potato medicine by the Zhenguo Military Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been amazing. The yield per mu is 2,500 catties, which is great news. An official of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences said. Next year, we will start to promote the cultivation of new potato medicines on a large scale! ”

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! The assassination of the Khitan Barat Khan is suspected to have been done by the new Yili Yelu Pugu of the Diera Ministry, and the Khitan elected Yelu Jinde, the son of the Bala Khan, as the ninth Khan of the Khitan. At the beginning of his tenure, the Khan of Hind said that he would find out the real culprit and avenge his father, and pointed directly at the Diira. The relationship between the remote and the Diera department is tense, and civil strife can break out at any time! ”

When the sunlight crossed the wolf in front of the Marshal of Zhenguo Army on a layer of gold, the old Dengzhou City, which had always been slow to renew Dengzhou City for half a beat, had completely regained its vitality. The pastry chefs in the cake shop brought out a basket of freshly steamed steamed buns and steamed buns, and the steaming fragrance came to the face. Although the master's forehead was covered with sweat, his face was full of smiles, and the business had been doing for more than an hour, and it was still so hot. In the past, although there were many people who rushed to the morning market, there were few who were willing to eat breakfast, but now, Dengzhou is almost accustomed to eating breakfast.

Especially those who are busy working in the workshop, many men and women are busy working in the morning, so they are gradually accustomed to buying some steamed buns directly at the breakfast shop.

"Dengzhou big steamed buns, meat stuffed buns, soup dumplings, soy milk fritters, tea eggs!!"

"Huyou sesame cake, cold pottery, mutton soup!"

With the shouting of shouts, many old women carried baskets and baskets, but they were close to the vegetable market near their homes to buy. Soon, several streets in the city were filled with farmers near Dengzhou who rushed to push all kinds of vegetables and set up stalls to sell vegetables in the specially designated locations of the urban management team.

Although Dengzhou has a special large market, those are all large stores. In order to take care of these vegetable farmers in the suburbs, Dengzhou City has set up stalls in many places in the city, and in the morning and evening, as long as you pay a little money, you can get a fixed stall. These stalls set up at the entrance of each square not only give vegetable farmers an orderly stall, but also give a lot of convenience to the people in the city, and the entire public security and city appearance are also guaranteed.

The two major markets of the East and West markets have also opened their doors at this time, and various convenience stores in various districts have also opened their doors.

All walks of life and cities have ushered in a new day.

Dengzhou has always been a prosperous city in the north, and the complete range of various commodities can even be compared with Chang'an Luoyang. But now, the merchants of Dengzhou even proudly guarantee that Dengzhou's goods must be more complete than those in Chang'an. According to the newspaper, there are now 25 major classified markets in Dengzhou, such as textile and rice markets, and there are more than 300 subdivisions under these 25 major markets.

For example, there are four major lines of rice, white rice, japonica rice, and rice in Dengzhou, and there are even small lines such as rice, wheat, millet, Shu, Qiaomai, coix and barley.

Textile line, divided into more fine, small color line, silk line, cloth silk line, silk color silk line, large color line, silk color silk line, silk color silk line, silk silk line, color silk line, cloth line, new silk line, large silk line, small silk line.

In addition, there are also the head line, the slaughter line, the miscellaneous line, the five cooked line, the horn line, the pig iron line, the meat line, the charcoal line, etc., the horse line, the cattle line, the donkey line and so on.

In addition to this, there are many special products of the Zhenguo Army, almost all of which belong to the franchise.

The Dengzhou market not only gathers all kinds of goods from the Central Plains, but also has goods from overseas countries. Nowadays, along the coast of Datang, Guangzhou is the most prosperous in the south, Yangzhou is the richest in the southeast, and Dengzhou is the most prosperous in the north. Further north. There is also the town of Duli.

Dengzhou has even become the largest commodity market in the whole north. According to the latest statistics, businessmen account for the majority of Dengzhou's floating population, and the 26 counties in the Zhenguo Army, mainly Dengzhou and several ports along the coast of southern Liaoning, have as many as 300,000 merchants from all over the country, and among them, nearly 200,000 merchants from various countries alone, of which there are even as many as 100,000 or so, who are ocean-going merchants from Dashi, Fulin, and other countries. Most of them were from the sea through the Indian Ocean to Canton and then along the coast to Dengzhou. The rest was along the Silk Road, from the Western Regions to Chang'an, and then all the way to Dengzhou.

If it is said that the millions of people in Chang'an are full of Hu people who come to Middle Earth to pan for gold, the people of Datang have long been accustomed to it. But now, there are even more Hu people in Dengzhou than in Chang'an, Hu Shang and Hu Ji. There are even a large number of Hu people who come to study. However, there are regulations in the Zhenguo Army, and the Hu people are in the Zhenguo Army. You must have lived for three years and apply for a Dengzhou hukou before you can marry a Tang person as a wife and a Tang person as a concubine. And if you want to study in Dengzhou, you must have a Dengzhou hukou for more than seven years before you can study. And after studying in Dengzhou, he is not allowed to leave Datang again. Han and Tang Dynasty people marrying Hu women are not among them.

In today's Dengzhou, everywhere you go, you can see all kinds of Hu people. The big cannibal with his head wrapped, the deep-eyed, high-nosed, blonde and blue-eyed forest man, and the Kunlun slave with a black and gray body.

Sogdian merchants, great maritime merchants, orchids, Silla maids, Kunlun slaves, Uighur horse servants, and Goguryeo nurses

Li Jing wore an ordinary cotton jacket today, the cotton clothes were filled with cotton, and the clothes were not very eye-catching, and they were not even as warm as fur. But this suit is extremely precious, even more valuable than that of mink.

Cotton was introduced to the Central Plains hundreds of years ago, but it was mostly planted in royal gardens as an ornamental object. There is no large-scale cultivation at all, and only in the Western Regions is there a lot of cotton cultivation. However, the people of the Western Regions called cotton cloth white folded cloth, which was sold extremely expensive in the Central Plains, and even more expensive than silk. So much so that in the Central Plains, it was a symbol of extreme wealth, and even the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty dreamed that he was wearing clothes made of white cloth before he died. Many poets have also written this white cloth into their poems.

With such a wide range of commerce in Dengzhou and the help of the Riding Division, Li Jing also asked them to collect seeds for various crops. Among them, cotton, Champa rice and other things are in the key collection of Li Jing's explanation. However, things are not too troublesome, taking advantage of the convenience of commerce, the Zhenguo army has obtained many seeds, and even this year has already harvested the first batch of cotton and Champa rice.

With the harvested cotton, Li Jing asked the craftsmen to make a new special loom for removing cotton seeds and spinning cotton yarn, and after the final spinning, cotton cloth was spun and made into cotton cloth, which was filled with cotton. At the beginning, Li Huier still felt that cotton cloth was not as comfortable as silk, but when it was seen that Li Jing made the first set of cotton jackets that was both beautiful and generous, and at the same time warmer, she immediately asked Li Jing to make a set for each of them.

Wearing this set of cotton jackets, a cotton hat on his head, a pair of big cotton shoes on his feet, and a pair of cotton gloves, although it was cold in winter, Li Jing didn't feel cold at all.

Cotton is a good thing, we have to breed better seeds, and plant cotton on the newly cultivated land in southern Liaoning that is not suitable for growing grain. In the future, if you want to develop Liaodong, the cold temperature in Liaodong is a big trouble, if you have cotton clothes, this problem can be solved.

With a pair of gloves in his sleeves, Li Jing is like one of the countless foreign businessmen who have come to Dengzhou to look for business opportunities. Standing on the street, with a few mouthfuls of white gas, Li Jing looked left and right at the streets of Dengzhou. Compared with the city of Xindengzhou, this old city seems a little small everywhere, and it is not as atmospheric as Xindenzhou. Although there is only one earthen wall in Xindenzhou City, the layout of the city is much more atmospheric than this.

However, compared with when he first came to Dengzhou, the old Dengzhou City in front of him also made Li Jing very satisfied. Compared with two years ago, Penglai City is still the same Penglai City, but the horse dung and donkey dung that used to be everywhere on the streets are gone, the garbage heaps on the streets are gone, and even those stinky ditches have been dug culverts. The locust trees on the street have grown very tall, and the green is a beautiful sight. Under the locust trees on both sides, there is a public toilet at intervals.

On the street, a lame half-hundred-year-old man in his forties wearing a brown robe was sweeping the fallen leaves on the street with a broom, and he couldn't touch his back and there were two big words "sanitation" on his clothes. Looking at this sanitation worker, Li Jing secretly guessed his identity, maybe he was a veteran before, maybe he was just a citizen who fled and came to be injured in the war, but no matter what. He was arranged by the government to use the street sanitation money collected from the shop vendors to hire people who were disabled but still able to work and not suitable for working in the workshop to clean the streets.

Although this job is not decent, I can earn two yuan a month, and I can buy two hundred catties of millet, so I don't have to worry about life.

Compared with two years ago, Dengzhou has indeed changed now, from the inside out, completely changed. Looking up at the half of the sun that had been hidden in the clouds again, Li Jing frowned, and made an appointment to meet here, it would not be that he had forgotten the time, or that he had lost his way.

"Hey!" A crisp voice sounded behind Li Jing, Li Jing turned his head to look, but saw that it was actually Lin Yueru, a little doctor who had a relationship before. Today she changed her outfit, no longer wearing a red fire, but wearing a big white robe, a high bun, except for a silver hairpin and a small ivory comb, there are no other ornaments, she is standing behind Li Jing.

"Meet again, last time we met in the carriage!" She chuckled and said to Li Jing.

Li Jing was slightly stunned, although they had seen each other last time, they had not spoken. was accosted and greeted by an unfamiliar woman, and it was the first time for Li Jing.

"Hey!" After being slightly stunned, Li Jing also greeted her with a smile. Looking at her appearance carefully, her faceless face seemed to be a little tired, her eyes were a little bloodshot, and there were a little black bags under her eyes. "It can't be that I was busy treating diseases and saving people last night, and I didn't get off work until now, right?"

Lin Yueru was a little surprised, but then she looked down at the big white robe on her body and smiled, "Well, there was an emergency patient last night, who was busy until now, and he forgot to change his clothes when he came out." ”

"Hanging pots help the world, wonderful hands and benevolence, let me admire it. Acquaintance is fate, and I happen to be going to breakfast too, so why don't I treat you to breakfast. Li Jing said with a smile.

"Don't bother, just saw you stunned at the old man just now, and said hello when I saw it last time."

Li Jing said with a smile: "I know that you are a famous little medical fairy, a newcomer to Dengzhou." I am a native of Dengzhou, I am half a landlord, Dengzhou has a lot of delicious breakfast, delicious but not expensive, economical and affordable, not far from here. I'll take you to eat once today, and you can go by yourself later. ”

"What, think I'm a bad person? I'm a great person. Li Jing saw her staring at herself.

Lin Yueru smiled slightly: "Bad people don't claim to be bad people!" Well, I'm kidding you too. But you'll have to pay for it in a minute! ”

Li Jing didn't expect that the little doctor fairy would have such a side, and couldn't help but smile and step forward to lead the way. (To be continued......)
