Chapter 53: Sanyang City Without City Walls

The carriage drove out of the clinic, walked a flat stone road and began to turn into a dirt road.

The carriage is full of green trees, flowers and plants are blooming, butterflies are surrounded by bees, and the scenery is beautiful, and the fresh and sweet smell of wild fruits in the flowers and plants is even more pleasing to the nose.

Mom Li sang a popular country song for everyone. The rhythm was cheerful and the lyrics were simple and easy to understand. Even Mo Xiao could sing it twice.

Maybe the song was sung too well, maybe the song was getting up too early, maybe the excitement was too late, but didn't sleep well last night. Junsheng and Licorice fell asleep shortly after getting in the car. Li's mother hugged one with one hand and half-squinted her eyes to calm down.

Mo Xiao was not sleepy and finally left the city. Of course, he had to see enough of the mountains and rivers that had not been polluted in ancient times.

"Hey, why doesn't there be a city wall in Sanyang City?" Mo Xiao kept rolling up the curtain and looking out. He saw that he had already left the city area, but the legendary tall city wall that must have walls in Fancheng has never seen it.

"Miss has forgotten again. There is no wall in this Sanyang City." Mother Li opened her eyes and replied softly.

"There is no city wall?" Mo Xiao's perception, ancient cities all had city walls, which opened in the morning and closed at night, and had the function of defending the enemy. Sanyang City was located in the border and the border of the Three Kingdoms, and tall and strong city walls should be built.

"There was also a city wall." Zhao Xiuli obviously knew more than Li's mother. She only heard her say, "I also heard from my grandfather and others. Our Sanyang County was surrounded by mountains. The Twin River came out of the valley to the west, and it was divided into two on the flat ground, like two arms stretching out, and when the canyon to the east, it hugged and penetrated out of the canyon. However, Sanyang County was sandwiched between the two rivers. Every summer, when the rain was raining for a long time, the river flooded, and Sanyang County became a city in the water. More than a hundred years ago, Sanyang County had a huge flood, flooding most of the city area and destroying most of the city walls. At that time, Sanyang County was so poor that there was no silver to build the gate of the county government, let alone the construction of such a large project."

"The county magistrate also lets the city wall be broken and ignored? The city wall is an important fortification of a city. Even if the county has no funds, it will hand over the letter, and the Ministry of Revenue will always distribute silver to build it, right?" Mo Xiao asked again.

"You don't understand this anymore." Zhao Xiuli raised her eyebrows, "Sanyang County belongs to Beixuan Kingdom in name, but it is a place where three people don't care. Since this dynasty, the county magistrate of Sanyang County has always been the emperor who chose the officials he disliked the most to come to this place where birds do not lay eggs. The people above naturally understand it. It would be good if they don't deduct the public silver. It's impossible for them to take out the silver."

"But, Sanyang County is located on the border, so it should be guarded by heavy troops and built high walls to defend against foreign enemies? How could it be so unattracted?"

"Well, I heard from my grandfather."

Zhao Xiuli tilted her head for a while, as if thinking about what her grandfather said at that time. After a while, she said: "Grandpa said that Sanyang County is a small basin, and the surrounding mountains belong to the Three Kingdoms, which has caused Sanyang County to have no dangers and is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so it is a place that military strategists dislike. Grandpa also said that in places like Sanyang County, unless other countries can guarantee their own strength to eat Beixuan Kingdom in one bite and fight Sanmen Pass all the way, otherwise even if the city gate is opened and the army of the other two countries will come in, no one will come in. Because whoever comes in first and the strength is not strong enough, the fate will only be that the soldiers stationed in Sanmen Pass in Beixuan Kingdom will make dumplings."

Zhao Xiuli said this and squeezed her eyes at Mo Xiao and said, "You know how to make dumplings, that's it."

She combined her hands and made a move to pinch dumplings.

Mo Xiao nodded, and understood a little, and only heard Zhao Xiuli continue to talk.

"The result is really as my grandfather said. For more than a hundred years without the city wall, the two neighboring countries really did not send a soldier or a soldier into the city. Even now, the borders of the Three Kingdoms are constantly rubbing, and the army travels around the Gemini River in Sanyang City. Ten years ago, County Magistrate Li simply demolished all the remaining broken walls, leaving no city gates, and no official roads in four directions were set up, allowing people to enter and exit. No soldiers from neighboring countries came in, and the business and travel of the Three Kingdoms became active. As a result, in just over ten years, Sanyang County has gone from a poor town to a rich county, with shops and houses in a large number of people, and the population has surged. Fortunately, in the past ten years, County Magistrate Li has also focused on the protection of water conservancy fortifications. Sanyang County is not as flooded as in previous years, otherwise, the whole city will suffer from major disasters."

Mo Xiao heard Zhao Xiuli's words, and he roughly understood that Sanyang County is almost an autonomous county, and the emperor does not care about it, but the county magistrate is in charge.

But she still finds it strange in some places. As for where it is, she can't say it for a while, but she just feels that the location of Sanyang City is not as insignificant as Zhao Xiuli said.

Maybe it is not a defensive fortress, but a position like the intersection of the Three Kingdoms is destined to be an inconspicuous small position.

But no one in the Three Kingdoms turned a blind eye to it.

The Emperor of Beixuan Kingdom sent an official who offended him to this point, and the Southern Zhu Kingdom and the Western Niu Kingdom were close at hand but never violated it.

Haha, if things are impermanent, there will be demons.

But these are not things that a young doctor in a small clinic should worry about. She came here to talk about politics and state affairs, but to open a clinic to make money, and to lead the clinic together to pursue a better and well-off life.

After Zhao Xiuli said, "Speaking of this, Uncle Li is really a good official, who is honest and dedicated to the people. How could he offend the current emperor and demoted him to a small place like Sanyang County?"

As if she thought of something, she approached Mo Xiao again and said, "Li Zisang is really good. Look, when she heard that a murder occurred, she didn't even come for an outing. She felt so responsible. Li Zisang and I have been having fun since we were young. When I was eating, drinking and having fun, that guy was learning literature and martial arts, and his abilities were not fake. If Li County Magistrate was transferred back to Kyoto one day, Li Zisang's future would be bright."

After she said that, she blinked at Mo Xiao, meaning that I was not wrong in introducing it, she was definitely a good man.

Mo Xiao didn't say anything. Although Zhao Xiuli praised County Magistrate Li to the sky, her Mo Family Hospital opened a clinic well and was repeatedly bullied by land hooligans. From this point of view, the public security in Sanyang City is not very good. If the public security has not been properly rectified, how can she be considered a good county magistrate?

Besides, Li Zisang did run away without hesitation when he heard the murder case, and seemed to have a sense of responsibility as a yamen runner. However, no one could tell that his face was filled with excitement that he could finally investigate the major case.

Besides, no matter how good Li Zisang is, in her eyes, she is just a young piece of meat, which is too tender. She always looks arrogant and mature on her face, but in fact she is simple and childish. Such a man is not a good match for her Mo Xiao.
