Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 88 Watching Taipei
Yizhou Taipei County Station.

Chen Wentian, Kan Ze and others have been resting here for three days.

In fact, the time was not too long, but Chen Wentian had something hidden in his heart, and he was somewhat impatient.

He was mainly worried about the attitude of Ouyang Jun and the others towards him. With the character of this young master, after going to the island, he would definitely discuss what he said that day. It has been three days now, and there must be a result, but until now Now there is no news feedback, how can he be relieved...

In addition, Chen Wentian really couldn't wait to take a good look at the true appearance of this island. He must know the jurisdiction of Longwei Mansion as well as possible to increase the chances of winning for future actions.

It's just that he is in a foreign land after all, and if the master doesn't tell him, he can't just walk around rashly. If he touches some taboo and causes embarrassment, he might lose his life.

In his mind, Hugh Mu was over long ago, and the fatigue caused by the multi-day voyage had already been completely wiped away. Now this matter was in his mind, and it was related to his fortune.

Finally, one day an official from the government came over and told them that according to the young master's wishes, the itinerary had been arranged on the island, and everyone could leave.

As for the appearance of this island, it is not that Chen Wentian has no knowledge at all.When he landed earlier, he also noticed something, but before he had time to look at it carefully, he was hurriedly welcomed into the post by the people on the island.

He is still very much looking forward to seeing the extent of the "time travel" here.

After Chen Wentian and others came out, they saw a large carriage with a special shape. The compartment walls are arranged, and the middle is left blank, which should be used for storing goods or something.

One person was standing in front of the carriage smiling and saluting everyone.

This person is of medium build, with simple attire and a slight beard. I don't know if he has trimmed it or what. It is said that the ancients could not shave, but this is a place of alienation after all, and they have the background of time travelers. Hard to say.

"How are you resting for a few days? If you still need it, you can consult with me. I am the secretary of the Longwei Mansion. My surname is Ouyang Dan Mingzhi, and my name is Zhongxing. This time, I will take you to the residence of Longwei Mansion." Take a look around and get acquainted with the style of the mansion."

Ouyang Zhi and Ouyang Long's family are not related by blood, they are just children raised by Longwei Mansion. After being educated by Longwei Mansion, they all "voluntarily" changed their surnames, but due to the large number of people, most of them just work in some grassroots positions.

Seeing that the others were a little shy and did not answer, Chen Wentian took a step forward and replied:
"In this way, there is Lao Zhongxing. We have heard about Longwei Mansion for a long time. If we can see the bustling market on the island, the majestic mansions, the prosperous people, and the grand picture of prosperous business, it will be a blessing for the seventh generation. Sansheng is very lucky!"

He admires himself in his heart, and now he speaks this kind of words more and more slipperily...

Kan Ze did not speak in the crowd, while Tian Kui waited silently for everyone to get into the car before following.

After leaving the post house, it still looked desolate and sparsely populated.

This is the case in the suburbs of the Han Dynasty. No matter how prosperous the place is, as long as you leave the city, you will be surrounded by mountains, forests and wilderness. There are indeed a lot of fields, but there are only a few places that can be opened up or have a relatively high "cost-effectiveness"...

As the carriage drove, Ouyang Zhi began to introduce the administrative divisions of Longwei Prefecture. There are three counties under the jurisdiction of Taipei County, namely Taipei, Keelung and Fuguo, and Taipei County is the seat of the county.There are currently more than [-] households here, with a population of more than [-]. It is a prosperous distribution center.The southern part of the island is now building a Tainan County, but it is still a barren land waiting to be rebuilt. "

The carriage went all the way, while Chen Wentian and the others listened to Ouyang Zhi's introduction, they lifted the curtain to watch the scene outside.At the beginning, the car was still running on the dirt road, which was a little bumpy, but as the trees on both sides became less and less and more neat, it looked more and more like artificially planted street trees.

"Is this... coming to the city soon?"

Chen Wentian looked at Tian Kui uncertainly.

Tian Kui stared outside for a long time, nodded hesitantly and said:

"Not sure, but that's what my gut tells me."

"So, Taipei County didn't build a city wall?"

The other people in the car also gradually saw something special and began to discuss in a low voice.

Only now did Ouyang Zhi hear that they were wondering whether there was a city wall here, and said with a smile:
"Don't be surprised, everyone. There is no city wall built in the whole of Taipei. It is different from the high walls and huge walls you have seen in the Central Plains. Because this is an overseas island area, the waves have blocked foreign enemies, and the weak barbarians in the land are now under our rule. Therefore, there is no need to repair the city wall."

Chen Wentian nodded, he seemed to understand the advanced concepts of Taipei city planning.

Of course, the defensive role of the city wall in the era of cold weapons is unquestionable, but it also limits the development of the city, hinders commerce, transportation, and information transmission, and even leads to the decline of the ruler's control over areas outside the city.

Now that the entire Yizhou has the natural protection of the sea, and the barbarians on the island cannot pose a threat, it is indeed a good opportunity to try this new development idea.

He thought to himself, if this place is allowed to continue to develop and industry and commerce continue to develop, there will be some germination of capitalism one day, right?However, one thing is obvious. Judging from the current situation, Longwei Mansion is still a feudal landlord, which means that the production relations here should not undergo a huge reform.

Well, if there is an opportunity to build a foundation in the future, can we also try an open city? By the way, should we engage in the real estate industry, so that the problem of land mergers may be alleviated...?
The more Chen Wentian thought about it, the others listened very seriously. After Ouyang Zhi introduced so much, the expression on his face became more and more cheerful. Weifu's advanced ideas and concepts are something to be proud of.

The traditional city division in the Central Plains is to use tall city walls as the boundary to mark the clear division of the city and the countryside.From the internal point of view, the city is divided into many squares along the roads. In the squares, there are two markets in the east and west for commodity trading. The market has strict opening and closing hours, and there is a curfew.

After their carriage drove into the real main road, they could be considered to have arrived at the serious Taipei County.At this time, Ouyang Zhi stopped the carriage and asked everyone to go down and walk together.

Chen Wentian also had this intention, without the obstruction of other carriages, he was able to get in touch with this strange yet familiar city...

Chen Wentian stomped his feet in the car and felt it. He found that the main roads in this city were all compacted with subgrades, and there were stone-built fortresses on the edge of the roads, so the road surface was very solid.

The road here is wide, flat and straight. If it is the kind of small carriage used by ordinary people, it will not be crowded if there are six cars walking side by side.

Green plants are planted in the middle of the road as a "separation zone", and there are drainage channels on both sides to prevent the road from accumulating water.

Of course, this is obviously the main line that runs through the whole city. If there are some branch lines that are branched out, there is no need for such a width, but they must also have considerable quality.

Chen Wentian felt somewhat familiar with all of this, but in the eyes of the rest of the Han Dynasty, everything was so unique and novel...
