Start a city building order

Chapter 227 The second copy of the opening
Qingshan Town is called a small town, but it is actually not small.

The circumference of the city wall alone is twenty miles, and it is square. The city wall is not made of earthen walls and bricks, but is carved out of huge stone strips.

The city wall is five meters high and five meters wide. There are four gates, and inside each gate there is an urn the size of a football field.

On the city wall, there is a defensive tower every 200 meters, which is ten meters higher than the city wall, and there are large defense equipment deployed on it, so no matter how Li Si looks at it, he feels that this is more like a military town.

But after all, he lost all his previous memories, so he didn't dare to do anything wrong. He just took a quick glance, and then, with a weak face, he was supported by two escorts to the carriage, and slowly entered the town.

Many people on the road bowed and bowed to him, the words of gratitude were endless, and even the shopkeeper of the restaurant, the old bustard of the brothel ran out and said that he would be exempted from the bill for a month...

In this regard, Li Si could only clasp his fists weakly, thank you for your innocence, and come to patronize me when I have time.

Taking this opportunity, he also had a general understanding of the structure and people's livelihood of Qingyun Town.

First of all, the buildings here are all made of huge stones. Even for the pursuit of beauty, they are all placed on the second floor. The first floor is square and solid, except for the heavy wooden doors. Not even a window outside.

Moreover, the average height of the first floor is more than three meters, and there are solid stone railings on the second floor, such as half-length walls, which are very suitable for shooting with bows and crossbows.

In addition, the streets are all paved with solid stones, and there are drainage ditches on both sides of the road, which has a slight stench, but there are no signs of defecating indiscriminately.

As for the layout of the streets, they don’t pay much attention to convenience and beauty. They are also arranged like a fortress, divided by streets. Whether it’s shops on the outer floor or houses, the walls must be connected, and there will be absolutely no gaps in the alleys. .

The only difference is that ordinary people's houses are two-story, three-story buildings, and shops are basically five-story buildings.

Li Si has no doubt that there are large defensive weapons deployed on the roof of the five-story building.

This is really a military town armed to the teeth.

If it were placed in the ancient times of Li Si's hometown, people would believe that this was the capital of a king, or an important military town.

Walking on the streets, you can't see any colorful trees, but inside each neighborhood, you can see lush trees. Obviously, this is a place where you don't intend to leave the enemy with the slightest climbing leverage.

There should be a lot of people in the town, at least the streets that Li Si passed along the way are like this. If he is in a state of mind, before he sees Li Si, he is frowning, but after seeing him, he smiles happily. Xuanshi is really important.

After turning a corner, the carriage stopped in front of a five-storey building facing the street. There was a signboard of Qingshan Escort on it. It seemed that this was home.

However, Li Si became tense and did not allow him to think. The gate opened, and the carriage drove in directly. After passing through a ten-meter-long dark gate, the front suddenly opened up. At this moment, he even thought of the story of Peach Blossom Spring. After walking for dozens of steps, it suddenly becomes clear that the land is flat and the houses look like...

Really, Li Si really didn't expect it at this moment.

How to describe it? At first he thought it was a closed military fortress, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw about [-] acres of farmland. The farmland was surrounded by fences, and outside was a circle of flat roads, four or five meters wide. Then around this road, a lot of houses were built in a haphazard manner, big and small, tall and short, densely packed, as if they were in a slum.

On the left side of the gate entrance, there is a small square overgrown with wild grass. There are weapon racks and some physical equipment beside it. Behind it are stables, pig houses, sheep pens, chicken coops, and dog holes...

There are almost a hundred children, a group in the east, a group in the west, a group in the south, and a group in the north. The older children play with the older children, the younger children play with the younger children, and the little ones can only play with chickens, ducks and geese. Son.

There are more than 50 farmers weeding in the farmland, and dozens of farmers are carrying water to irrigate the fields.

A dozen disabled old men sat on the edge of the square, some were scratching lice, some were eating lice, some were snoring, and some were talking to themselves.

Another family seems to be getting married?
There is also a family that died, while celebrating and howling, the joys and sorrows of people are really different from each other.

Oh, above the head, that is, on the second floor, there is also the sound of intense movement, like playing poker.

In broad daylight, Li Si raised his head, then lowered his head again, not because he remembered something, but because there was a sign hanging on it, which said crookedly, Sai Chunfeng...

Life here is not good.

The coffin-like city walls, the coffin-like neighbors, and numb faces, even the warm and bright sunshine can't dispel the haze in my heart.

Get used to it, and get used to it.

"The young escort is back!"

The driver of the car shouted joyfully, but there was no splash in the stagnant water. The dead people in the north were still crying, the married people in the south were still laughing, and the ones above their heads continued to play poker. Only one dragged for a long time. The snot-nosed kid raised his head, glanced at Li Si who was like a savage on the carriage, and ran away, crying while running, his snot flying in the wind...

Fortunately, after all, it was not left unattended. A well-dressed fat man ran over. If Li Si remembered correctly just now, it was this guy with a protruding waist, who kept scolding the farmers in the field for not being diligent. , that one will suffer from plague, go to sleep with your mother-in-law tomorrow...

"God has eyes, you can come back alive, the young escort, and you can close your eyes if the chief escort is under the nine springs."

The big fat man yelled exaggeratedly, with a sincere expression on his face, and even squeezed out a few drops of saliva, Ma De, didn't I see it?Now Li Si can clearly see whether the lice are male or female from tens of meters away.

But Li Si chose to have a dull expression, looking haggard, weak, sad, overly frightened, and dying at any moment.

And with him like this, after the big fat man continued to howl a few times, he took a small black thing out of his sleeve and threw it to the driver.

Thanks to that guy, he helped Li Si down, turned around, drove the carriage and left.

Hey, hey, you are not my servant.

Li Si staggered, the big fat man had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and he quickly supported him. This skill... I wrote it down.

"Come here, hurry up and clean up the young escort, God is pitiful, how long have you been hungry outside?" The big fat man roared, and the whole workshop seemed to vibrate, even the poker player upstairs was shocked. There is a truce.

Weird.

Two thin middle-aged women stepped forward and helped Li Si go upstairs, but they looked thin, but their hands were really strong, almost like dragging a dog.

Li Si let them drag him along while thinking about the situation.

He is the head of the young escort, and the neighborhood here has only one entrance, which says Qingshan Escort Bureau. Obviously, this place is all owned by the Escort Bureau.

But even these two servants don't respect him as a young escort, is it because he is sick, or is it because of this big fat man?
This is interesting.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Fan Qingshan's father, that is, the head of the bodyguard, died only four or five days ago. How could this be?
In addition, there are no other relatives?

What about siblings?
Li Si was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't say a word on his face until the two women carried him to the third floor and opened a room. The decoration inside was not bad, but it was covered with dusty cobwebs. No one cleaned it for a month.

Well, the darts stayed abroad for at least half a year, but this is still illogical, unless the time is longer than a year, or even longer.

And since this escort trip is very important, the chief escort will bring all the able-bodied officers and his own son, and after many years, the family will be handed over to his confidant old servant to take care of.

If the dart is successful, that's all. However, the news of the death of the chief escort came back a few days ago. Not only was he dead, but all the capable escorts in the escort agency were also dead.

So the two middle-aged women in front of me, their husbands must have died, so they are a little bit resentful, which is understandable.

Thinking of this, Li Si raised his head, looked at the two women who threw him on the bed and went to fetch water, and said, "I'm sorry."

But those two didn't feel anything, as if they didn't hear it, they were still busy.

Li Si didn't take it too seriously, but just pondered over the information he had just obtained.

When passing by other neighbors, everyone praised him and was very grateful. The old man who seemed to be the boss of the town even asked him to fill in the vacancy of the corps leader.

Only when he returned to the Escort, he was treated with unprecedented indifference.

This looks strange, but it is not difficult to figure out.

The bringing back of the big ink black stone is good for everyone in the town, but only the Qingshan Escort, from the head of the main bodyguard to the core bodyguard, has died, and only one young bodyguard has returned, which is very frightening .

In addition, it is also very possible that Fan Qingshan was an ignorant guy with no prestige before taking this dart, so even if he successfully brought back the Big Black Black Stone today, the people here did not expect him to bring any good news.

Thinking of this, Li Si didn't expect these two middle-aged women to provide him with any information. After they got back the water, he took two packs of bacon wrapped in leaves and gave it to him. For these two people, he has eaten this meat, it is non-toxic and can be eaten.

Now he can only use this method to make up for it a little bit.

Unexpectedly, the two thin women who were indifferent to Li Si's low-pitched apology just now finally reacted at this moment. They swallowed a mouthful of saliva almost subconsciously. The technique is also good, in the faint bitter taste of the leaves, there is a kind of smoked aroma.

The thin woman on the left looked up with difficulty, with a bit of stubbornness on her face, and a bit of disdain for hating iron for being weak, she almost snatched the bacon and threw it on Li Si's face.

If eyes could speak, then what she wanted to say at this moment was, do you still have the courage to come back alive?

But the thin woman on the right took it after only a moment of hesitation, and then looked around guiltyly, "This is stone wolf meat. I used to eat it when I was young, but this bacon is very expensive. Boss, I'll give it a try." It’s almost half done. Sister Chunhua, why are you standing there, the escort is so kind, and it’s not easy for him..."

"It's easy for anyone to come. My father walked darts with his father all his life, and finally died outside. He didn't even bring back his body. My brother died on the road when he was only 24 years old. Now my head is dead again. You Fan The family is an honest family and a gentleman, but with such a false name, how many people do you want to kill! The orphans and widows in this yard, look at what kind of pigs and dogs they are living!" The woman named Sister Chunhua She said almost gnashing her teeth, but she obviously lowered her voice.

Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, willing to communicate is a good start.

But at this time, no matter what he said, it was meaningless, so he took out two more packs of bacon, and begged cautiously, "Sister Chunhua, I have been away from home for too long, help me share these with everyone, at least don't be hungry abdomen."

"How can you be such a prodigal? This is stone wolf meat, which can be exchanged for a lot of brown rice! You can't survive." Sister Chunhua took these packs of bacon at this time, and quickly put them into a dark place on the wall. Gerry.

"That's not enough, Sister Chunhua, my family's bodyguard agency is so big..." Li Si intentionally sold a loophole.

"Hey, Young Escort, what time is this? You're still dreaming here." Another thin woman said while quickly hiding the bag of bacon in her hand into her clothes, and then He also gave Li Si a provocative look, "What are you looking at, don't count on your days of shouting and hugging your brother. Thanks to your father, our Qingshanfang was originally the largest workshop in Qingshan Town. With a population of one thousand, hundreds of strong men, and two Zhuangzi outside the city, there is no need to worry about starvation, but now, Qingshanfang is dedicated to the public, who is for us!"

"Not to mention that your father is only focused on revitalizing the Qingshan Escort Bureau. In the past ten years, hundreds of young men have been alive and kicking when they went out. When they came back, they either lost their bodies or became crippled. Only us old people suffered. small."

"If you want to have some conscience, you should first ask your butler Li, and see what nasty and nasty things he has done in the past two years!"

"Xiao Cui, please keep your voice down, as long as the young escort can come back alive." Sister Chunhua hurriedly said, "Young escort, you used to care about family affairs, and the chief escort didn't care. Once you left for more than two years, the wife also got sick. She is dead, and she has always been in charge of the family affairs in the past, and Steward Li is an old man brought by her from her natal family. He has great prestige. Once Madam is gone, he will cover everything in Qingshanfang. Half a year ago, Steward Li and The Tianjiafang next door colluded and destroyed the Zhuangzi outside the city under the pretext of the beast tide. In fact, the Zhuangzi was still there, so it was just swallowed up by them. Without the Zhuangzi outside the city, this little field in the workshop would not be enough for so many people to eat .”

"Originally there were fifty township soldiers in the square, but the captain was replaced by Steward Li's sons. Those people ate Steward Li's, took advantage of Steward Li, and worked hand in hand with him. They only knew how to bully us orphans and widows. , a lot of widows had to do half-closed doors."

"As for these, the old men in the town never care about them, and we can't see them either. The family doesn't even have a pillar, so we can only bear with it when we are wronged."

Sister Chunhua explained the ins and outs to Li Si clearly in a few words. I really didn't expect that the matter was quite complicated.

This is the second copy of the opening, right?
