I can summon misery

Chapter 110 A City Named Thunderbolt

In the Xia Ting era, the eighth year of Zhongping, the season of winter finally left the northern border, and the northern border entered the eyes, and finally there were some colors other than white.

There is a poem that says: Why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows? The spring breeze does not pass Yumen Pass.

But fortunately for the northern border, the spring breeze will eventually enter this devastated land.Especially after the topography of the Fenglang Mountains changed drastically, even the climate in the northern border also changed.

However, these are not big things after all, but as time has passed, the legendary stories that happened in the northern border have always been talked about by people.

Tongkui Town, once a frontier town that was close to the border and flourished in smuggling and illegal trade, has ushered in a big change in just a few months. The most intuitive thing is the scale, followed by a series of The implementation of favorable policies has attracted countless traders and refugees to come here.

"This...is really Tongkui Town? This change is a bit too big." In front of the towering and majestic city wall, a bearded swordsman in a hemp robe looked at the tall city gate in front of him and said dumbfounded. .

"This, this... This is too exaggerated. I have only been here two years ago. Although it is not dilapidated, it is similar to an ordinary military town. Why now..."

"Be careful, Brother Fuchen, this is not Tongkui Town anymore." Beside the swordsman, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes stroked his beard and patted his old friend on the shoulder, "I saw that the city gate building wrote no."

"Thunderbolt City? What's going on here? I've devoted myself to cultivating for more than a year. How come this place has changed."

"It's a long story. As you can see, Tongkui Town in the past has been changed into Perak City by the imperial court. Now it is under the jurisdiction of Sifang Hou. Military and political affairs are all decided by Sifang Marquis. You see Such prosperity is also a series of policies of Sifanghou."

Looking at the brand new city in front of him, the middle-aged man couldn't help swallowing, and said slowly: "This Marquis of Sifang is the adopted son of Marquis Jing'an, and was later ordered to guard a military fort in the northern border. later……"

"What are you talking about, this, this, this!"

"Don't make a fuss." The man patted his old friend on the shoulder and shook his head helplessly, "It may sound unbelievable, but now the Sifang Marquis, although nominally under the control of the court, is actually the emperor of one side. A city is also a country within a country, and it is difficult for the princes of the imperial court to intervene in it."

"This... is really unbelievable." Looking at the city in front of him, the swordsman killed angels, seized imperial edicts, massacred tens of thousands of court troops, and assassinated court officials. It can be said that he blatantly raised the flag of rebellion.But even so, the imperial court could only obediently grant him the title of marquis, and set aside a piece of land for him to rule, becoming a country within a country.

How embarrassing this is...

Thinking of this, the swordsman wiped his nose, but he still felt a little dark about what was going on.

Great Xia court, you also have today.

"Since then, the Marquis of Sifang issued several decrees one after another to attract refugees to farm here and merchants to trade here. Although it has not been a long time now, there is still some prosperity. Given time, it will definitely far surpass the old Tongkui Town. It’s not a thoroughfare in all directions like Yanji City, but it’s bound to be prosperous and prosperous. And with the Marquis of Sifang as the Great Xia’s barrier, the people in the northern border will be much safer.”

"It seems that I have been in retreat for so long, and I have indeed missed a lot of interesting things and interesting people." The swordsman stroked the stubble on his chin, thinking: "You just said that Thunderbolt City is recruiting troops?"

"Yes, but the requirements are very high. Only those with clean family background and strong health can be hired, and the natural treatment is also extraordinary."

"Then what do you think of me?"

"You?" The middle-aged man glanced at his old friend, "I don't doubt your ability, but it's not that you don't like it."

"Naturally, I don't like Xia Ting's stuff, but this Marquis of Sifang, you said just now that he said something, I like it very much."

"Could it be..."

"Prince and general, Ning is kind. This Marquis of Sifang is not in the same way as Xia Ting. I believe that following him may be able to see scenery that I have never seen before."

"That's what you said." The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, follow you, walk around."

"what?"

"I asked you to come here this time, but I asked you to come for a drink. Let's go. It just happens to be your farewell banquet."

……

……

In the bustling and noisy city of Perak, neat streets extend in all directions, and construction sites in full swing can be seen everywhere. Although the streets are not yet paved with stone bricks, they are still clean.From time to time, a group of people wearing uniforms patrol the streets, followed by ordinary people and businessmen. Although many facilities are not perfect, today's Perak City has shown great vitality.

"These people are again..." The swordsman pointed to the patrolling teams in uniform.

"Those people are city management, not sergeants, but idlers employed by the city lord's mansion. They are responsible for maintaining law and order in the city, picking out lawlessness in the city, and of course keeping the city clean and tidy."

"Urban management." The swordsman shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

"That Marquis of Sifang has researched new things, but there are more than that. Well, here we are." The man pointed to the tavern in front of him and said, "I heard that this tavern is also owned by the Marquis of Sifang. , In a short period of time, he has become famous, and countless businessmen have come here just to buy the wine here, but he still sells it in limited quantities, really."

"Really?" The swordsman looked at the tavern in front of him, "I also came to this place back then. It was a shopkeeper surnamed Lu. He was a good storyteller. It seems that things are different now."

The two walked into the inn. There were not many people in the inn, but they were not too few, but they were not noisy. Even if there were discussions, they were mostly whispered. In the middle of the room, there was a man in a white robe, A handsome man with a white cap and an emerald jade bamboo stick in his hand was talking freely.

They are all about the scenery of the northern region, but from now on, the future is vivid and has a special taste.Not only that, in addition to the accidents known to the general public, there were also many anecdotes rarely known to the public, which amazed everyone present.

"Friend, please sit down." The man looked at the swordsman and his party, "What do you want to drink?"

"Mister is the shopkeeper? I wonder if there is still Yi Jinxiu?" The middle-aged man clasped his hands and asked.

Hearing this, the man smiled gently and said: "My friend came by coincidence, there are still a few jars left, I'll send someone to fetch them."

"Thank you."

"Please take a seat." The man nodded with a smile, turned his head, took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and continued talking.
