Dialogue between ancient and modern: I create programs, national treasures have spirits

Chapter 217 The Millennium Prosperity

Majestic and great things, even if they are thousands of miles away, still exude bright brilliance.

Jiangdu is like this.

This human creation standing above the natural barrier has stood silently for nearly a thousand years. The mottled city walls are covered with scars from swords and swords, like a general who has survived many battles and still stands.

Today, hundreds of years of Taiping has put a layer of green military uniform on Jiangdu, bringing a tenderness that has never been seen in the past, but uncovering this layer of greenery full of vitality, in its bones, it is still the iron blood. The meaning of killing and persevering.

Even across a long distance, you can still feel the majesty and magnificence of Jiangdu.

How many heroes in history have sighed when they saw Jiangdu.

Such a natural danger is enough to withstand thousands of horses and thousands of troops.

Lu Ze and his party stop and go, after all, they are going to pass by here.

Looking from a distance, the mountains are emerald, the peaks are continuous, and the sky hangs low, as if they are connected to the top of the mountain.

The waters of the rivers and rivers are so vast that they flow eastward, with such a majestic momentum that it is as if the Milky Way hangs upside down for nine days.

Along the river all the way to the north, you can reach Jiangdu.

You can go by water, or by land. Lu Ze and others turned east and west, but followed the land road on the bank of the river, all the way north to the vicinity of Jiangdu.

Here, water and mountains are in harmony.

"I've always heard that Jiangdu is the number one pass in Daliang, but what I've seen now proves that the rumors are true."

Lu Ze saw the majestic city in a dangerous place from a distance, and couldn't help sighing. Even if the majestic buildings seen in later generations, there are few towering buildings like Jiangdu, not to mention that it is in the productivity The underdeveloped ancient times can be called a city of miracles.

An Xuanye stood aside on horseback, looking at Jiangdu with a bit of emotion in his sharp eyes: "When Emperor Taizu rose up, the Southern Tang Dynasty was filled with smoke. Wang Yange, the then Jiangdu guard, never led his troops southward, but always stood firm. Here, to resist the invasion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Taizu once lamented after the founding of the country that without Wangyan Pavilion, it would be difficult to know who would win in this world."

"The Jiangdu Wang clan has a great reputation and has guarded Jiangdu for generations. It's just that 500 years have passed, and whether there is still the iron-blooded conquest in the past."

"Time makes people old, not to mention a big family, not to mention Jiangdu has been in peace for 500 years, and the city walls are already covered with green moss."

If An Xuanye pointed out something, when Lu Ze heard it, he naturally smiled indifferently.

Peace will gradually erase a person's ambitions, even if it is a city.

"Let's go, Jiangdu is prosperous, it seems that we have to stay here for a while."

This place is different from other places. As one of the rare bustling cities in the world, no one knows how many interesting and beautiful things there are. What's more, Lu Ze and his party have been traveling for a month and a half. Rest for ten days and half a month.

On the one hand, it is to take a good rest and relax, and relieve the fatigue along the way; on the other hand, it is also to prepare for the news that Prince Ning's Mansion is still safe in Jiangdu, but after leaving Jiangdu and continuing north, it is naturally not considered What's the matter of safety, it is estimated that the violent storm will be in the itinerary after Jiangdu.

It is the best choice to grasp this last moment of peace and recharge your batteries to meet the challenges ahead.

It is not good to continue on the road.

First, after entering Jiangdu, no matter how hidden the whereabouts are, there will always be people with good eyesight who can find them. Although it is not possible to make a move in Jiangdu, after leaving Jiangdu, it is naturally difficult; secondly, An Xuan Ye Ke had no intention of hiding her whereabouts at all. She was on her way aimlessly before, and she didn't see that she had any plans to change her appearance and make up. She was always the most attention-grabbing pretty girl in the crowd in a white armor.

The city wall of Jiangdu is extremely high. Standing on the city wall, Lu Ze felt a sense of his own insignificance. When he raised his head and looked up, he couldn't roughly estimate the height of the city wall for a while.

It's just that one can faintly see that the city wall is actually taller than the mountain, and it feels like it's piercing into the sky.

"Such a majestic pass, it is really extraordinary."

Lu Ze sighed with emotion. Seeing it from a distance is really different from seeing it up close. It's like looking at Mount Everest from a distance. You only feel that there is not much difference from the surrounding mountains, but when you really reach the foot of the mountain, then Only when a sense of majesty looking down on the world comes to your face, will you discover what it means to be number one in the world.

The city wall is tall and majestic, and it is difficult to see the end, but the city gate is not big. Of course, it is not too grand compared to the city wall, but it is a bit like a mouse hole on the gate of a high-rise compound.

Just considering that the purpose of Jiangdu's construction is to defend against powerful enemies, this city gate is naturally appropriate, but if it is too large, it will increase the burden of defending the city.

On the top of the city gate, the word "Jiangdu" on the stone plaque is full of wind and frost, and traces of arrows can also be seen.

Walking into the gate of the city gate, Lu Ze had a feeling of driving into a tunnel in a trance. The light inside the gate was not very good, and there was a slight sense of darkness. When he looked up, he could see a huge gap not far away. Once the stone gate encounters an enemy, the stone gate will be smashed down and turned into a solid barrier, which can withstand the impact of the siege vehicle.

This kind of stone gate has as many as twelve layers, which shows how strong Jiangdu is.

After passing through this long gate, as soon as they entered the city, a city guard came forward and reminded: "Everyone, no one in Jiangdu is allowed to ride a horse. Please get off your horse and walk."

"thanks for reminding."

Lu Ze nodded, not intending to disobey. A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, not to mention that the one entrenched in Jiangdu is not a local snake, but a local dragon.

Why bother to make a fuss over such a trivial matter.

After dismounting, the group went directly into Jiangdu City without encountering any interrogation.

The layout design of large cities has always been more standardized, and Jiangdu is no exception.

After 500 years of peace, Jiangdu's original status as a frontier fortress was infinitely weakened and shelved, and turned into an important commercial city that communicates cultural, commercial, and material exchanges between the north and the south. Drastic improvements, the most notable is the change of the functional area.

Few people can tell what the original Jiangdu City looked like, but today's Jiangdu City is definitely one of the most prosperous cities in the north and south, and even in terms of transshipment, no other city can compare with it.

Therefore, as soon as he entered Jiangdu City, even Lu Ze, who had experienced the impact of the prosperity of a modern commercial city, was a little surprised.

What I saw in front of me looked a bit like the magic capital of later generations.

No, no, except that there is no huge traffic flow and no colorful high-rise buildings, to some extent, Jiangdu is not inferior to Modu at all, it is simply an ancient version of a commercial metropolis.

There is an endless stream of business travelers, and various vendors can be seen everywhere. As for restaurants and restaurants, there are also a lot of tile houses.

As for the prostitute, it is also a beautiful landscape.

"It's really lively."

Lu Ze muttered to himself, since he came to this world, it has been a long time since he has seen such a prosperous scene.

The location of the Lu family in Nanyang is naturally good, but in comparison, it is far less prosperous than Jiangdu.

"Let's go, first find an inn to stay."

An Xuanye was no longer surprised, and just said something lightly.

The group of people found an inn to live in, and the cost was quite surprising, but they were all children of a big family, so naturally they didn't care about these small things. If they changed their family, they would not dare to spend so much.

"You can play around in Jiangdu these days, don't worry."

"Is Jiangdu so safe?"

"The Wang family is based in Jiangdu. Although the peace has lasted for a long time, their control over the base camp is still strong. No one will cause trouble in Jiangdu. Although everyone likes to make some tricks, they will never seek death. To cause trouble here is to Slap the face of the Wang family."

"It seems it's pretty safe here."

"It's true. Every place guarded by a big family is very safe, just like there is a Lu family in Nanyang, and no one will make trouble."

Lu Ze nodded, he understood this.

Jiangdu is equivalent to the one-acre land of the Wang family. In this place, apart from the emperor, only the Wang family is the largest, and in many cases, the emperor's orders may not be applicable in such a place, no wonder This emperor wanted to "reduce the vassal".

Now that the Daliang royal family is coercing the world, naturally they are not afraid, but in case the royal family declines one day, these will be time bombs, and if they fail to blow up a few, they will directly ruin Daliang.

Such historical lessons can be found everywhere. The emperor is not a fool, so he can see it naturally. If he didn’t do it before, maybe the royal family felt that the time had not come and they were still accumulating strength. The guy with the different surname Wang performed the surgery.

Of course, this is destined to be a long-term process, and the royal family is not so capable if they want to make a one-size-fits-all solution.

If it is not done well, there will be a rebellion, and the 500 years of turmoil will be disturbed in an instant, but what is interesting is that the repetition of history is always so intriguing, even if it really comes to a critical moment, the intrigue will still exist.

Perhaps this is directly related to everyone's position, the life they have experienced, and the thoughts they have created. Smart people may have seen the royal family's intentions, but before the royal family made it clear, no one dared to jump out and be the leader Once the bird jumps out, it is not clear whether anyone will respond to this, but the royal family has one more legitimate reason to kill you.

Just like Lu Ze, in this complicated situation, is status really that important?Actually not, it's just that some people hope to use this to stir up troubled waters. It's best if Prince Ning's Mansion and the Lu family can bite each other. This is the best result. Just an insignificant pawn.

Knowing that you are a flag, you will have a sense of fate. Therefore, Lu Ze has no complaints about the old man's arrangement. , are far from each other, so naturally I can't choose my own whereabouts, I can only hope that the people above will not come to kill the donkey after the calculation is over.

After taking a comfortable bath in the inn and changing his clothes, Lu Ze only felt refreshed. People, after staying in the wild for a long time, there is always a feeling of discomfort, as if civilization has been eroded by the wilderness. Even the people are a little more wild, and now that they are back in this bustling place, experiencing the baptism of the world of mortals, they are naturally relaxed and happy, and feel that they are human again.

"Wei'er, get ready, let's go out for a stroll!"

"Okay, prince."

As a personal maid, Wei'er is still young, only fifteen or sixteen years old. Under her innocent and innocent appearance, she hides a care and shrewdness far beyond her peers. After all, she can be trained as a personal maid. Ability, in addition to force value, other aspects are naturally excellent.

The trivial matters around Lu Ze are basically handled by Wei Er. This is also the welfare of the children of the family. They have been taken care of since they were young. It is not an exaggeration to say that the ten fingers do not touch the spring water. , and most of the personal maids are there to warm the bed. Generally, after the children of the aristocratic family have passed the coming-of-age ceremony, these maids change suddenly, and they may all be concubines.

Of course, there are also a few who can't control the third leg and tasted something they shouldn't eat early. The sons and brothers may only be reprimanded and punished for copying some family rules and ancestral precepts, but these maids will end badly It was much more miserable, and usually they were directly beaten to death, so how to keep their innocence when the children of the aristocratic family became violent, is also something that the personal maids must think about.

In this world, the bigger the family, the more rules and stricter they are, and they are often not strict with the children of the family, but strict with the rest of the people.

It's really interesting. There is a meaning in it that only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps.

The two of them prepared the things they needed, and they went straight out of the inn. As for the destination, it was really uncertain. There was no strong purpose for going out for shopping, it was just to walk around and see the prosperity of this world.

As soon as he left the inn, Lu Ze deeply understood what prosperity and luxury were.

Everywhere here is filled with the smell of silver.

Whether it is a street vendor or a shopkeeper sitting in a shop, every eye seems to be shining with white silver light. Their eyes are precise, and they can tell at a glance whether a person is rich and generous. It is possible to call out a price that is exciting, and the most important thing is that for different people, the price may vary.

Things are still those things, but people are different, and the natural value is different.

It’s like a piece of paper. People who don’t need to go to the toilet see it, and they just see it. Those who love cleanliness may buy it to wipe their hands, but seeing a person who urgently needs to go to the toilet is like a life-saving medicine. If you spend several times the price, you have to buy it.

It has always been the principle that needs determine value. This world may not have been so accurately summarized, but the emergence of consciousness has not known how long it has been. The difference is only a concluding sentence.
