Chapter 251: Undercurrent in the county town

"Wow! I finally arrived at the county town."

"Wow, the county town is so high!"

"Yeah! It's at least twice as high as our Fuyu!"

Fang Chen was amused when he listened to the words of several female disciples. After all, he was a girlish personality. Everything was fresh when he went out for the first time. After spending his initial restraint on the road, he gradually became lively. He chattered and kept talking during the second half of the journey, and even if he saw some birds, he could be excited for a long time.

However, the county town was indeed tall enough. Fang Chen looked up and looked at it for a few seconds. He was probably as tall as seven or eight feet, grand and grand, old and mottled, and had an ancient charm.

As far as he knows, Nanshan County City was established in the previous dynasty, and the specific time cannot be verified, but it has existed for at least two thousand years. It is indeed an ancient city in the Qin and Han dynasties in the previous life.

As the population increased, Fuyu's county towns were built later in this dynasty, with only more than 700 years of history.

At this time, Niu Gang said lightly: "The city wall is used to resist foreign enemies. As a county capital, the county city should not be lightly dispersed. The standard for high walls is to be able to guard against innate powers. This is because Nanshan County is located in the rear. If it is in a border town, the city wall will be 50% higher. You must beware of the master's leap."

"Wow! 50% higher? Isn't that more than ten feet? What is the level of the master? Is he a strong man above the innate world?" Sun Hanyu exclaimed and asked curiously.

Sun Hanyu is the legitimate daughter of the Sun family in the county, and her father is a warrior in the early days of the day. The family is a small force in the county. She is also among the five female disciples, with the most active temperament, and she talks the most along the way.

Although the others didn't say anything, they all raised their ears, obviously wanting to know the stronger ones at a higher level.

Niu Gang shook his head and said, "The master is indeed above the innate, but those strong men are at least partial generals. I was just an ordinary soldier at the beginning and could not touch him at all. How could I know what realm it is?"

The disciples were a little disappointed.

Fang Chen smiled and ignored them. Sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing. They are just disciples of the martial arts school, and what they have learned is destined to be limited. It is still a matter of whether they can break through the innate world in the future. Grandmasters are too far away from them, and knowing will lead to pressure.

It’s better to know nothing and be a confident person in a small county town.

"Let's go, it's getting late. I'll stay in the county town for one night today and continue to rush tomorrow."

After the opening of the sea, this road has become an important business road. There are countless carriages and horses, either from major forces or in groups, with at least hundreds of large cars. There are many experts accompanying you, and it is not something that six thieves can mess with.

Therefore, all six bandits gave up on the business on this road and wandered to other places to find food.

Their journey was very smooth. Although the distance was more than a hundred miles, they were at the lowest level of divine power. They rushed to the county city before the city gate was closed.

The soldiers of the city gate looked at them for a moment, and confirmed that they were not wanted criminals and let them in.

Fang Chen also observed the soldiers in the county city briefly and found that the weakest all had the inner breath realm, and the captain on duty had the cultivation level of the Divine Power Realm. They were all full of energy and sharp eyes, which was much stronger than the soldiers in Fuyu County.

He couldn't help but think: It's worthy of being a county city. You can see the power of the county soldiers on duty. The county city has as many as 10,000 troops. Although these county soldiers are not as good as the elite soldiers of Feisha Village, they are more than enough to suppress the counties. With the seven or eight feet of city wall, if there is an invasion of foreign enemies, they may not be able to defeat them without 100,000 troops. Of course, if there are a top-notch strongman above the Grandmaster, they will say something else.

A glimpse of the leopard in the tube shows a look

Nanshan County is located at the southernmost end and in the rear, with such a powerful garrison. How terrible are the troops in important cities there? How powerful is the entire Taikang Dynasty?

Fang Chen finally affirmed the thought in his heart. Sure enough, it was right to honestly establish a sect.

After entering the county town, except for Niu Gang who had been here, others couldn't help but look around curiously.

The county town is indeed much larger than the county town. The main road is more than twice as wide as the width. There are shops on both sides, both in the form of two or three-story small buildings. Unlike Fuyu, there are many low-rise bungalows, and the decoration is much more gorgeous.

Along the way, there are many second- and third-level roads, and the neighbors are crowded with crowds of people, and there are many vendors along the streets, and shouting one after another is indeed much more lively than Buyu.

Fang Chen was jealous of the county town, which had nearly 600,000 permanent residents in the city, while the total population inside and outside Fuyu County was not half, and the gap was not ordinary. If Fuyu had so many people, he was completely sure to make the county town more prosperous than the county town, and the annual income of the money was several times higher. As a time traveler, he knew too much about the importance of population.

Unfortunately, the population cannot rise by just saying it rises. Taikang is in a prosperous era, and there are no refugees at all. It is impossible for the population to rise in a short period of time.

"Uncle, okay, give me some food!"

At this moment, a begging sound suddenly came from beside him. Fang Chen looked at him sideways and saw an old beggar with gray hair, crawling on the ground, holding a broken bowl with some expectations, and looking at him with some fear.

"Teacher, this old man is so pitiful. Why don't we give him some food?" Before Fang Chen could speak, Sun Hanyu couldn't help but say sympathetically.

There were no beggars in Fuyu for a long time. The elderly and disabled were collected by Fang Chen and arranged to do some light work such as guardians. If you really couldn't do it, you would find a place to settle it. As a time traveler, you are used to the prosperity and will inevitably have pity for the poor people.

Anyway, someone on the other side is not short of this money, and he can earn a lot of reputation after doing this, making his name of "benevolence and righteousness" more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The orphan was also taken back to the sea by him and cultivated as a reserve force. And those young and strong men who were intact, lazy to do things and only begging were forced to beg for "renovation".

Qingyi Tianzhuang is the farm where he housed gamblers and traitors. This is the only farm under his name that is semi-military management. Three teams of warriors are stationed in the farm. Although farmland is given as usual, medical insurance, and various benefits, the young and strong people inside are strictly supervised and work on time, but those who are lazy are beaten.

Fang Chen was not worried that they would run away. The farms were all low-strength, or they were just ordinary people. After the farms, there was no place for them to settle down. If they dared to go out of Fuyu, there would be a large wilderness and frequent wild beasts, whether they could survive was the same.

I haven't seen the beggar in Fuyu for a long time. I suddenly saw it in the county town, and several little girls inevitably felt sympathy.

Fang Chen naturally would not object, and pity was also a kind of virtue. Of course, he did not want his disciples to be cold-blooded, so he nodded and said, "Give some broken silver, and we don't bring much dry food."

The warriors eat a lot and need a lot of nutrition, so they bring good jerky, but only three or four days of the amount, and it is not enough if they give it out. He has a lot of storage space, but the things in the space are guarded against before they happen, and they will never be exposed unless they are absolutely not exposed.

"Yeah!" Sun Hanyu nodded repeatedly with his eyebrows, immediately reached into the bag and touched it. He quickly took out a ingot of five taels of silver and handed it over.

But halfway through his hand, he was blocked.

"Owner of the museum?" Sun Hanyu looked at the person who was blocking him in confusion.

Niu Gang said lightly: "For too many, do you want to kill him? Look around."

Sun Hanyu looked around in confusion, and immediately saw the greedy eyes of the eight beggars around her. She was not a fool, so she suddenly realized. If she put down this ingot of silver, once they left, these people would definitely pounce on her and snatch the silver, and even the old beggar would be in danger.

"Then, what should I do? Why don't my disciples teach them a lesson!"

Niu Gang shook his head and said, "What's the use of teaching a lesson? Five taels of silver is small money for us, but huge money for beggars, which is enough to let them take the risk of robbing them unless you can kill them all. Remember, people at any level have corresponding wealth standards. Once they exceed their own strength, they are a disaster but not a blessing. If you want to get more, you must work hard to become stronger!"

Niu Gang also took the opportunity to teach his disciples a lesson. After saying that, he took the silver ingot and used a little force to tear off a corner easily, about a few silver portions, and rubbed it into silver beans and threw it into the broken bowl of the old beggar.

"Mr. Xie rewards me! Miss Xie rewards me!" The old beggar himself knew the situation. Although he was reluctant to give up his money, he was not disappointed and fell to the ground to thank him repeatedly.

Fang Chen looked at the side with a smile. These disciples had too little experience in the world and really wanted to give some advice from time to time. Niu Gang is a competent and good teacher.

After they finished doing it, Fang Chen lowered his head and said, "Old man, begging is not easy to live. Hunger and fullness are impermanent, and the warmth and cold are uncertain. You may be difficult to endure for a long time. If you are willing, you can go to Fang's family in Wanghai Town, Fuyu County and report to Fang Chen's name. You will be able to properly settle it. If you have a familiar person, you can also go with you. There is no limit on men, women, young and old, and no need to refuse to be disabled or weak."

The old beggar suddenly raised his head and said in disbelief: "This, what this young master said seriously?" The beggars were disliked everywhere, and they never expected that there would be people who would take in large quantities.

Fang Chen said lightly: "What's the point of lying to you? Whether it's true or not, you will know when you arrive in Fuyu!" When they arrive in Fuyu, it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. When they find beggars in Fuyu, Ma Dachang will naturally arrest them all and send them to Wanghai.

The old beggar thought it was right. He was not a little girl, so what was worth cheating? He was excited and bowed again, shouting: "Thank you for your kindness! Thank you for your kindness!"

Not everyone is willing to be beggars. Most of them are forced to fall into the streets because of life. Now that they have hope, they naturally want to get rid of this kind of life. As Fang Chen said, most ordinary beggars are hungry and full, and they are cold and have no clothes and quilts. Especially at his age, they starve to death, freeze to death, and die of illness every year, and he himself doesn't know how long he can last.

Fang Chen ignored him and turned around and said, "Let's go, go to the west of the city to find an inn, and you will have to rush to the morning tomorrow."

They walked along the way, and the beggars in front saw that the old beggars were rewarded, and they also beg for food. The cow just took the silver ingots, tore off pieces, rolled them into silver beans and threw them into their bowls one by one, and then they passed smoothly.

After staying in the street, Niu just turned around and taught: "I saw that the world is not suffering from poverty, so you need to consider everything clearly, even if you do good."

A group of newbies nodded repeatedly when they heard this, and they felt that the outside world was so complicated, and even a lot of money was given to beggars.

……………………

Just as Niu Gang seized the opportunity to educate his disciples, a dark tide gradually surged in the county town.

Although the Fang family is only a county power, it is indeed an existence that no one can ignore.

The interests of maritime trade are huge, and the power of the county town is hungry.

However, the Fang family controls half of Fuyu, 80% of the counties and townships, the largest labor force, and the largest share of fruit, vegetable and meat supply in the county and even county towns. It also has large trading markets, large storage warehouses, etc. It can be said that as long as any force enters Fuyu, it is almost impossible to avoid the Fang family.

He can be said to be a real tiger sitting on the ground.

Fang Chen is the core of the Fang family, and his every move naturally involves the eyes of all forces.

So shortly after he left Fuyu, a large number of fast horses rushed to him to report back to the lord's house. Some of the lords in the county were interested in the lord's house, so they immediately arranged for people to guard the city gate and wait for them to arrive.

Inside a huge courtyard.

"Fang Chen has really entered the city? Are you reading it right?" Sun Zhichang stared at the person who was rewarded and asked in a deep voice.

The man said in a panic: "The head of the family, there are fourteen people, nine men and five women, and they are also similar to the head of the family. I think there is no mistake."

Only then did Sun Zhichang withdraw his gaze, nodded, and said, "I understand, you go down first!"

The man quickly retreated out as if he had been amnesty.

Sun Zhichang's eyes flashed a few times and shouted, "Come here, let Zhisheng, Zhijie come to see me quickly!"

A servant who was waiting outside the door immediately left in a hurry. After half an hour, two heavy steps came from outside the door.

"Third brother!"

"Honor!"

Their direct lineage was four, the eldest died young, and the second became an official. Now he was an official in another state. The third son Sun Zhichang became the head of the family, and the fourth son Sun Zhisheng was the legitimate younger brother.

However, Sun Zhijie is the son of the third uncle and belongs to his cousin, so there are differences in the title.

Sun Zhichang nodded and said straight to the point: "Fuyu Fangchen has entered the city!" The big family is so dirty, but these two people he trusts the most. He discusses with the two of them first whenever he has something to do, and then convenes various rooms to discuss.

"What! Fang Chen came to the county town?" The two were shocked. The fast horse rewarded them for only half a day, and they had not received any news.

Sun Zhichang said in a deep voice: "Yes, I just got the news and asked someone to go to the south gate to guard it. I did enter the city!"
