Chapter 9 Entering the City

When I woke up, the morning sun had already sprinkled from the hole in the roof, and the light and shadow on the ground were floating, with golden water waves.

Last night, everyone slept in a deciduous house. They chose a slightly neat house, cleaned the floor, swept the spider webs in the house, sprayed the deworming powder, and the smell was completely dissipated, and everyone lived in. The six people lay down in the house and chatted for a while, as if they were still talking in the dormitory. They were so sleepy that they fell asleep.

When Xu Le woke up at this moment, he looked at his watch. However, at seven o'clock, he had slept for three or four hours, and he felt refreshed and full of energy. Even Xiao Xu Le was straightened, declaring that he was in the golden years.

But looking at the guys who were still snoring, Xu Le thought it was very basic.

When he went to bed last night, Xu Le relied on his current physical fitness to outrageously, put a moisture-proof mat on the ground and lay down while wearing clothes. Now a carp stood up and shouted loudly: "I'm going to be late for class! Master Mie Jue's monetary banking course!"

Several guys woke up immediately. Liu Jun tried his best to get out of his sleeping bag, and muttered: "Credits, why didn't the boss call me earlier?"

Su Ming and Lai Wenzhen both sat up and dazed. Wang Dengke wore a blindfold and turned over in his hellohitty private sleeping bag, muttering: "Don't have credits..."

Cai Hengwen slept at the door last night. He could see the scene in the courtyard when he opened his eyes. He might have woken up earlier than Xu Le, but he just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He had already turned over and packed his things silently. He was also lying in his clothes, and he was still wearing the dagger on his body, so he was not afraid of being uncomfortable when he was sleeping.

Xu Le announced loudly again: "I'm going to Qiyin City today to do business!"

Lai Wenzhen, who was still yawning, jumped up, his body trembled with fat. Seeing Wang Dengke huddled in his sleeping bag, he kicked him in the butt: "Get up! Go into the city to see the beauty!"

Under the temptation of the beauty, Wang Dengke stood up with difficulty, muttering and packing up his own things.

Since he learned that he had a small farm in Qiyin, Xu Le had asked Peng Ma about the business of farming on the way that day. Peng Ma now has 1,100 acres of land - 600 acres of farmland for civil servants, 500 acres of land granted to Yier's army, and two households of common people and six households of slaves at home. Peng Ma climbed up from the common people and had a lot of experience in managing his own farming.

In fact, managing a farm is nothing more than the word "manpower and material resources". In the final analysis, manpower and material resources are financial resources. Then don't you have to use the magical skills of traveling through time to buy and sell the two worlds?

Moreover, since I arrived in Donghua, I have been wandering around the wilderness. After entering Qin, I only took a long look at the shadow of Donghua City on the way. Qiyin is not far away, so I have to go and see what I say earlier.

When a few people came to the yard, they didn't have time to clean up the well, so they brushed their teeth and washed their faces with the mineral water they carried with them. The cold mineral water blew up, causing the last bit of sleepiness to disappear. They all began to discuss what Qiyin City looked like, whether there were any brothels, brothels, brothels, brothels, brothels, brothels...

In the distant woods, Luohuqi's figure leaned against a thick tree. The dense branches and leaves blocked her slim figure. She was still wearing a hat, revealing her pointed chin. She was chewing with a bit of white teeth, chewing a jerky that was mixed with unsightly materials and ugly in color.

The sun shines in from the shade of the trees, and the little skin she reveals is as white as jade, crystal clear and delicate.

Why did that guy named Xu Le bring a few private relatives and poke a mouthful of foam with a stick with a transparent hair on his head? Then why did the cloth towel used to wipe his face look so bright and beautiful, and there were small curly rolls on it? That tall guy wearing a crystal chip in the cloth towel, why did there be a yellow animal with a lightning-shaped tail and a round body, look so cute?

For these people, including Xu Le, Luohu Qi was also interested in the secrets hidden in these people, in addition to paying attention to Xu Le's true method of carrying the Sun Yat-shoulder.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun gradually rose, and it didn't rain much during this period. As pedestrians, cars and horses passed by, waves of mud and dust rose.

Xu Le and his friends had no cattle, so they could only carry large bags and small bags and walk towards Qiyin City with their legs.

Along the way, there are all fields. The vast and fertile fields of the Hequ tribe centered on Qiyin City have been reclaimed, which is enough to reproduce and grow a population of 100,000 upwards.

The large and small ditches crisscross the fields, introducing the clear Qishui. The common people wearing straw hats and ragged slaves are carrying water in the fields to irrigate. The summer grain is about to ripen, the wheat waves are golden, rising and falling with the wind, and the wheat fragrance with the smell of soil and grass is coming. Inside, besides the annoying mud and dust, it can be called relaxed and happy.

The common people and slaves worked in the fields, and flat lands seemed to be used to perform martial arts and horses next to the houses. Those owners of the manors who had at least civil servants who were at least civilians who were working for the historians were practicing equipment with their children, walking horses and bowing, and shooting at the straw targets standing on the sidelines.

These people are the backbone of Qin and the foundation for surviving in the sinister lands of the Western Wilderness tribes west of Rongqi.

The smaller manor is the children who practice combat skills. The larger manors may even have private relatives who do not wear crowns. They form teams and advance and retreat under command. I believe this is the division owned by each family. The Yier Army is just a division led by the Shi family. Back then, Peng Ma stood out from the division of a lower lord, and was attracted by Shi Wuju. He was selected into the division of Yier Army of the Shi family, from the common people to the title of the Supreme People.

In addition to Xu Le and his group, sometimes there were carriages and horses passing by. The heavy chariots on the carriage were all grain bags, either transported into Qiyin City, or transported to the wharf for shipment and transportation. The basic economic pillar of the historians seems to be the first path of agriculture.

In addition to these bulk transporting grains, sometimes people may take their private owners to drive horse carriages and ox carts by. The carriages should be produced in their own estates. It seems that they want to sell them in the city and exchange them for some used objects for their own estates.

Regardless of the purpose of the pedestrians, as long as they wear black robes and wooden signs on their necks, whether they wear crowns or not, they wear swords on their bodies. Everyone's face is rough and simple. The simple and martial style of the Qin people can be seen. It is said that Zhao State has been even better than this, so it is hard for Xu Le to imagine what kind of scene it was.

After walking for two hours on the road, Lai Wenzhen and Wang Dengke dragged their legs. According to Xu Le's journey, they had already entered Qiyin City and had a sleep.

Xu Le took the lead and finally approached Qiyin City. After getting closer, he saw the whole picture of Qiyin City that he had glanced at from afar that day.

The city wall is black and full of huge rocks, but I don’t know if it is rammed earth inside. The city wall is three-story height and is towering and heavy, and there is a feeling of invincibility in front of me.

Above the city wall, there are enemy towers everywhere, which are similar in shape to the ancient city of Earth. Donghua and Earth are really terrible in homogeneity. There are not many defenders on the wall. Only at the corners of the city wall, there are soldiers wearing black-painted armor and iron helmets guarding the four defensive equipment that looks like giant crossbows.

This crossbow is made of bronze, and every detail looks very delicate. Xu Le's eyes are sharp, and he also saw that there seemed to be a mark of formation on the crossbow. At this time, the bow string of the crossbow was not installed, and there were no crossbow arrows placed on it. It was really impossible to see how powerful and the range of such a crossbow had. However, looking at the appearance of such importance and the various strange and beyond imagination unique to Donghua, we can only think that this crossbow must be first-class equipment in Qin State at least.

A trenches were dug outside the city and introduced Qishui. The green waves were rippling around the city. The water waves were reflected on the dark walls, and golden light flashed. Several thick suspension bridges had been laid down, and the six gates of Qiyin City were all open. The East City Gate leading to the pier was the most lively, with crowds bustling in and out. In addition to the slaves in black robes and swords, there were also Qishang merchants wearing hunting clothes and windbreakers, and even two wooden oxen were mixed together, moving slowly among the crowd.

These two wooden oxen belonged to the largest Qi Shang style. The windbreaker was also the most luxurious, and the pattern was made of gold thread. He sat on the chariot carried by eight strong slaves, and several Qi Shangs were gathered beside him and said something. The Qin people looked at Qi Shang who was walking by the chariot, and seemed to be a little disdainful, and they were deliberately far away from him.

His private subordinates and the Northern Barbarian soldiers were guarding two wooden oxen slowly entering. The wooden ox was carrying something like a pavilion, with white gauze curtains erected on all sides. The four pillars of the pavilion were decorated with colorful paintings, dazzling. It was the first time that Xu Le had seen so many colors gather together since he arrived in Qin.

A woman's figure flashed behind the white veil in the pavilion, and a smile came from time to time. Even though it was so far away, it seemed that the fragrance was blowing.

Xu Le and his men stared at each other, and Wang Dengke still looked like he wanted to get into the pavilion.

Xu Le glanced a few times before patting Wang Dengke: "Let's go, go to the city! If you look jealous, you can earn it by your own ability!"

Wang Dengke turned his head and asked blankly: "Boss, can you earn it?"

Xu Lexiao did not answer.

Since he came through time, he had inexplicably lost his strength. Xu Le vaguely felt that he was in Donghua, not just an insignificant college student on earth. However, there is no need to say this feeling at this moment.

Under Xu Le's urging, several people entered the city gate from the west. There were black-robed armored soldiers guarding the city gate, but the talismans on their waists were Qiyin City Guards, which were led by several of the upper lords near Qiyin City by the fiefdom manor. According to Peng Ma, Qiyin City Guards were also the elite of the historians second only to Yi'er's Army.

Before the general who led the city gate to ask questions, Xu Le walked in front and handed out the card that the Shijia sent to his waist. In addition to taking Xu Le and a few to the farmland, the minor official also gave each person a card. The shape of the characters was close to seal characters, and it was not particularly difficult to learn and recognize. These seal characters recorded the identities of Xu Le and the others, and finally the seal characters signed the seal of the double-sided monster of the Shijia. The double-sided monster's emblem was shining with a fine white light, which flashed occasionally, and was definitely not all imitated. Xu Le studied it over and over for a long time, but could not find out what was wrong.

The general took over the sign and looked at Xu Le, and then looked at Xu Le: "The civilians who were sealed in the west of Xianglin? That place is difficult to rectify. On that day, Lao Zhong had a farmland divided there. The place was deserted and there was not many people, so it was even more difficult to divert water. Finally, it was returned to the Lord. Now you took it over. I hope you have better luck!"

Xu Le smiled: "It is enough to escape from Zhao State and have a place to stay. Zhuangtian and other things are just that. A man who wants to make a fortune is not just a matter of killing the enemy in the army."

These words were said to me, but I guessed the martial spirit of the Qin people, and I just flattered the Qin people.

This sentence was immediately praised by the small general of the city guard: "That's right! Our Qin State is really a man who dares to fight! What's the point of fiddling with those fields all day long? It's better to kill Rouran and steal the ghost party! But it's a bit unsuccessful for these years. Qian Haiyuan was injured in his energy in a battle, and everyone was forced to come to the door! It's really his grandma..."

He patted Xu Le on the shoulder hard, and Xu Le felt very happy. Now it was time to make friends in Donghua. It seemed that the little officer of the city guard was very talkative, just listen to it.

The little army general said to Xu Le: "You escaped from Zhao? Good escape! Mr. Zhao didn't know who came from Qi. Now he was making people angry and resentful. Why did you change your fiefs to the prefectures and counties and be directly led by him? These fiefs were all made by the ancestors of each family? Although the Zhao people are fierce now, they can't last for a long time! But the guys from the Sharp Army still respect the Zhao people as if they were nothing... Our Shi family doesn't pee this pot! Brother, you have to serve the people as a civilian. I believe you have the ability to follow the head of the family in the future, and you are afraid that you will not be able to make a fortune?"

Xu Le smiled and clasped his fists: "I'm sorry, I know I'm there, I'll come and drink at any time, and I won't be drunk when I'm not drunk."

The little army general also bowed his fists and replied: "My name is Zhu Tao, a Zhongmin Shi. The fief is near Sangyuan, two miles west of Qiyin, and is the chief of a garrison among the city guards. Brother Xu will come at that time."

Overall, the Qin people were generous and free and easy men, and they were somewhat similar to Xu Le’s own personality. They were in a few words and said it was a coincidence. Xu Le then said that he wanted to go to Qiyin City to sell some of his own products and some goods brought by Zhao State.

Zhu Tao made a quick guide: "The two cities in Qiyin City, Chengnan City are controlled by Qishang. Only Qishang has Nanshi City Posts. It is full of utensils produced by craftsmen and Han, and some wealthy things. Chengbei City is where our Qin people sell products in their own houses. When we go there, we find the mayor, and we ask the city post to tell a place to sell it. Once the income becomes the city tax, don't forget this."

Xu Le smiled and thanked Zhu Tao for his advice, and brought a few guys who were not saying acoustic enough to be a private person into the city.

And when we arrived at the first city in Donghua, the scene unfolded in front of us.
Chapter completed!
