Chapter 605: Lingshui Weather

The sun is scorching.

Outside Lingshui County, Huazhou West Road, Guangnan Road, four people and four horses, walking towards Lingshui County without any hurry or slow down.

The two young men walked in front, about sixteen or seventeen years old, both wearing handmade brocade clothes that looked extremely good. A few meters behind him followed an old man who was clean but clenched his nostrils, and an old woman who was old but could still see her good charm when she was young.

More than 10,000 cavalry of Tiankui's army landed dozens of miles behind.

The little Taoist Bai Yuchan didn't go down the mountain, and walked beside Zhao Dongting with his horse, looking around from time to time.

When I saw Lingshui County, I finally couldn't help but ask Zhao Dongting, "Brother Zhao, why do you want to enter the city first?"

He has enough talent to amazed the world in the way of the golden elixir, but in terms of speculation, the Taoist priests who always follow their uncles and uncles to meditate and recite scriptures on the mountain are undoubtedly still blank.

Zhao Dongting turned his head and chuckled, "I am afraid I won't see the real situation in Huazhou after following the army."

Bai Yuchan seems to have no superhuman talent in this regard, and he is a little puzzled, "Why?"

Zhao Dongting said, "I will go to your Wuliang Temple. Even the ancestors will welcome you together, and there will be a lot of situations. What do you think will be the officials of Huazhou?"

Bai Yuchan finally understood and nodded, "The world cannot help but follow the trend."

Zhao Dongting couldn't help laughing, "It seems that you are not talking about it."

"hey-hey!"

Bai Yuchan also laughed, "We Taoism should follow the way of heaven and the emperor."

It is getting closer and closer to Lingshui County.

The city gate, which is only as wide as two carriages, is vividly visible. There are two high lofts above. The city walls on both sides extend for only a few hundred meters, and green mountains are guarding each other.

In this era, the cities were not big. Even the Yuan Dadu, which had just been built less than ten years ago, was only about fifty square kilometers, but it was already a pattern that could overlook the world. Although Lingshui County was the main palace of Huazhou, its area was probably only five or six square kilometers. This was several times smaller than that of modern county towns.

Two rows of soldiers were ten, wearing summer waist-length suits distributed by the army, standing at the city gate.

Since the young emperor Zhao Jing took charge of the military and political affairs of the court, many new policies have been implemented. Not only are the minor officials and constables in each city and town uniforms, but even the soldiers guarding the city are no longer in the scattered atmosphere. These clothes with a different style from folk clothing, even bringing a trend among the people.

Going outside, there are several paper umbrellas. There are stalls under the umbrellas, and vendors hold signs next to them, and they don’t shout and sell them. Most of them are folk fruits and specialties.

Zhao Dongting walked over and had to buy everything. Then he distributed it to Bai Yuchan, Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu, and walked while eating.

When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers looked at them and did not stop them.

However, Zhao Dongting suddenly threw the oil paper from the folk snack "frozen basket" onto the ground, and was at the feet of the soldiers guarding the city, arrogant and indifferent.

"stop!"

A soldier spoke suddenly and stopped Zhao Dongting in front of him without taking two steps, "Pick up the things on the ground."

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "Are you talking to this young master?"

The soldiers with the rank of sergeant chief just repeated, "I advise you to pick it up, otherwise you will get a hundred yuan in cash."

Zhao Dongting still disregarded, "You dare to punish me for money. Do you know who I am?"

The sergeant remained silent, "The magistrate has an order that no one is allowed to litter in the city."

"A mere magistrate dares to care about me?"

Zhao Dongting sneered and reached out to push away the sergeant, "Get out of here for me!"

A clanging sound.

Several soldiers drew their swords.

The sergeant's face turned a little red, but he finally held back his anger, "Please don't make it difficult for us to do it. If you continue to mess around, I can only arrest the sir."

Zhao Dongting said meaningfully: "You dare to arrest me, aren't you afraid of death? Do you think Song Bitao can protect you?"

The sergeant was really hesitant, but he still said: "Where is the responsibility, what should the young master do? Let's pick up the oil paper first."

Zhao Dongting laughed loudly, suddenly no longer looked arrogant. He obediently picked up the paper scraps on the ground and walked into the city.

The soldiers guarding the city were all inexplicably confused.

Song Bitao was once a grain official in the Southern Song Dynasty, later returned to the Yuan Dynasty, and was also a grain transport official. He had no experience in governing cities. After taking office as Huazhou, he wrote to the Ministry of State and asked Lu Xiufu and others for advice on how to develop Huazhou. Zhao Dongting personally made an approval after learning about this matter, focusing on grain and business. To get rich, in addition to building roads first, the city must have a city that should have a weather, and the people can live in peace, so that they can have a happy career. In addition to this general approval, Song Bitao also highlights two points: public security and city appearance.

Now it seems that Song Bitao is obviously doing well. These city guards finally have the character of being a military officer in the court.

If it were in the past, it would be like Zhao Dongting, who was wearing a rich and jade belt. Not to mention just littering, even if he forced a robbery, how many people would dare to take care of it?

When you enter the city, you can see many stalls and vendors. There are only horizontal lines on the ground, and the stalls are placed within the horizontal lines, just like two small markets at the city gate.

Most of the shops on both sides of the street have the signs of "banyan tree tea".

Banyan tree tea is also a specialty of Huazhou and can be preserved for a long time. It is one of the few products in Huazhou that can open up trade and trade.

Even in this hot sun, there are many vendors who have adopted the opportunity to travel between these shops and transport carriages, which are piled up.
