I bring the system to tease Shihuang to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 93 The Impatient Beidi County Lieutenant

The carriage drove non-stop all the way, and Zhao Jun resumed the days of lying on the carriage every day.

But anyway, I rested for a night, and the next few days were not too difficult.

All the way north, the scenery is completely different from Hanzhong County.

Zhao Jun sometimes opened the curtains and saw a slightly barren land.

The people I occasionally see are also skinny and sallow, which is enough to see the hardships of life here.

The further north you go, the weather is a bit cooler, and it is a bit cooler in early spring than the warm Hanzhong.

That is the temperature in early spring to allow cotton to grow here.

"My lord, Beidi County is not far ahead."

There was news from the captain outside that the city wall of Beidi County could already be seen.

Well, it’s finally here. Zhao Jun shook his shoulders and opened the curtain of the car. It is obviously different from the scene in Hanzhong, which is vast and empty.

"Why is the city wall here so much higher than Hanzhong County, and it looks stronger."

Zhao Jun sat by the door, looking at the shadow of the city wall in the distance.

"That's because the northern land is on the border of the Qin State, and the Xiongnu is on the opposite side. They are harassed by the Huns from time to time. Naturally, this tower must be built stronger."

Next to the carriage, Meng Yi said while riding a brown horse in a cloth robe.

"Hey, why did Mr. Meng ride a horse? I thought Mr. Meng couldn't ride a horse."

Zhao Jun joked with a smile that she would not know how to ride a horse.

"My father and family ancestors were all generals. Although I became a civil servant in the court, I still learned horse riding in elementary school."

Meng Yi was choked by her, and replied resentfully.

"The other side is close to the Huns, I really want to see it."

Zhao Jun is not making jokes with Meng Yi.

When it comes to the Xiongnu, they are always indispensable in history, and they are still with us until the Qing Dynasty.

For thousands of years, friction and controversy have never stopped.

This time she can take a good look at what this neighbor who has not been wiped out for thousands of years is like.

When we got to the bottom of the city gate, looking at the city wall up close was even more impressive.

A group of people stopped at the gate of the city.

It's not that Mr. Zhao only cares about admiring the tower and doesn't go in.

It was because they were stopped at the gate of the city!

This was the first time Jun Zhao was blocked at the city gate, and she had never been blocked in Xianyang.

But I can understand after listening to the words of the guarding soldiers.

After all, it is a border city. When a large number of people like this want to enter the city, they must report to the county captain.

Zhao Jun could understand, and they didn't wait long.

Within a quarter of an hour, rumbling footsteps came from inside the city gate.

In the blink of an eye, a tall man in silver armor, armor on his head, and a bronze sword in his hand came before them.

"The last general didn't know that my lord came too far to welcome me haha."

The man's thick voice came, quite hearty and atmospheric.

Zhao Jun looked at him calmly.

About [-] years old, tall and tall, full of fear, speaks brightly, but his eyes are slightly narrowed.

His character doesn't have to be as loud as he speaks.

Just as Zhao Jun was thinking, he spoke again.

"Master Meng Yi, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I asked you for a drink before, but you always refused to come. I didn't expect you and me to meet again."

The man rushed up and hugged Meng Yi firmly, while Zhao Jun who was standing in front of Meng Yi was completely ignored.

Now several people have different thoughts.

Qingliu: Who is this person, there are no rules, shouldn't he salute us adults first?

Meng Yi: Sure enough, I still love to offend others as always.

Zhao Jun: Well, I see that you don't want to see me anymore, what should I do?

The air was quiet for two seconds, and soon Meng Yi began to smooth things over.

"General Ma, long time no see, let me introduce you."

Meng Yi turned to look at Zhao Jun.

"This is one of the Nine Ministers, Mr. Zhao, the internal historian. This time he came here to command Chun Zhong to make an inspection by the king's order."

"This is General Ma Hong, the Beidi Commandery Wei. He used to be a general under the command of General Wang Jian. He is now on duty in Beidi to defend against the Xiongnu."

Meng Yi smiled and introduced the two of them to each other. He glanced at Ma Hong, hoping that the other party would show him some face and not make the fight too rigid.

This is one of the reasons why the king agreed to come with him.

Ma Hong has always been rebellious. Those he likes will admire him in every possible way, while those he doesn't like are not even willing to pretend.

The most important thing is that this adult treats the woman...

Meng Yi is not good at commenting, but he feels that there will be troubles in the next few days.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhao, you were negligent."

Ma Hong didn't tear his face directly, but his tone of voice was so strange, and his face became impatient.

"It turned out to be General Ma. I don't think you are very old, but your eyesight is so poor. It must be because you have worked hard to defend against foreign enemies. Master Ma has worked hard."

Zhao Jun didn't care about his attitude, and still replied with a smile.

It's just that the meaning in this sentence doesn't sound too wonderful.

Ma Hong's face froze at what she said, his eyes were gloomy.

Zhao Jun didn't want to continue standing here with him, so he continued.

"We're exhausted, so General Ma should hurry us to settle down. Time is running out. I'll get back to work after I rest."

Zhao Jun didn't look at his expression after finishing speaking, and called the soldiers behind to prepare to enter the city.

Meng Yi also followed Zhao Jun and walked towards the city.

Ma Hong gritted his teeth resentfully, stomped his feet and chased after him.

He didn't understand how the king would allow a woman to hold such an important position in Jiuqing.

What a woman can do, Ma Hong felt dissatisfied, and Zhao Jun became more and more displeased.

Zhao Jun didn't know what he was thinking, she was attracted by the scene in Beidi County.

It is completely different from the buildings in Hanzhong, but there are many people on the street.

Their clothes are also obviously different from those in Hanzhong, with many woolen robes.

Even Zhao Jun could see a few children with big eyes and high nose bridge from time to time, some of them looked like Xinjiang people.

If you let Zhao Jun describe it more accurately.

That is to jump from the warm and reserved Jiangnan to the hearty and rough Northwest.

What surprised Zhao Jun even more is that there are hawkers walking all over the streets here, and there are even more shops than in Hanzhong.

The degree of liveliness was something she had never experienced in Xianyang.

"My lord, it's really lively here." Qing Liu was also dumbfounded.

Even Meng Yi saw such a scene for the first time.

He had never been to the Northland before, and the farthest he had traveled was around Xianyang.

Sometimes my brother would talk about some lively and interesting stories in the north, but none of them were as shocking as he saw it with his own eyes.

"How is it compared to Xianyang?" She asked lightly.

"If it was the original Xianyang, I'm afraid it would not be able to compare by one point, but in the past few months, Xianyang has developed rapidly, and it is estimated that it can be compared by five or six."

Meng Yi nodded and answered slowly.

"Oh yes, it seems that Xianyang has developed well in the few months I have been away." Zhao Jun was slightly dumb.

Meng Yi smiled and didn't speak.

In the past few months, a large number of merchants have settled in Xianyang, which is more than ten times more lively than before.

I believe it will be more lively than here soon.
