100 million walk alone

Chapter 465 The Legend of Kanto

The reason why Beiju Luzhou is called a place of extreme cold is largely due to the Wuhui Snowfield.

A large area outside the snowfield is also covered with ice and snow all year round.

For example, the 3,000-mile Great Wall has been shrouded in ice and snow for a long time.

The large area within the Great Wall is called Guandong.

The Kanto region has short days and long nights. There are twelve hours in a day, only four hours are daytime, and the remaining eight hours are endless night.

In the terms of the human world, the daylight hours are too short. It will be bright at 8 a.m. and dark at 4 p.m.

Darkness occupies most of the time, hence the name Eternal Night.

All the prefectures and counties in Guandong within the Evernight Great Wall have one thing in common: they are very lively, and there is a fire in winter burning everywhere.

Living at the border means that you may be attacked by wild monsters at any time. It stands to reason that the common people who have a little bit of conditions have moved to the peaceful land inland. It should be very deserted, so why is it still lively?

First of all, this is related to the national policy of the Han Dynasty.

Hundreds of years ago, the Han Dynasty issued an imperial list. The content is as follows: Tenants, refugees, and refugees can go to Guandong to reclaim black land. The more they work, the more they will get. Each person can get up to ten acres of cultivated land. Actors, singers, and prostitutes who serve in the Kanto region for more than ten years can leave their lowly status and obtain the status of good citizens after reaching the age of thirty.

Just such a national policy kicked off a great era.

In that era, there was a saying: break into Guandong.

Many ordinary people who could not survive in the affluent areas of the south, who were barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, came to Kanto with their families to develop.

At that time, there was a model worker, Old Man Sun, who cultivated ten acres of land and produced a gratifying wheat harvest. As expected, the government granted the ten acres of land to Old Man Sun and issued a notice to the whole city. Later, Old Man Sun's two sons also obtained land through hard work. The father and son occupied thirty acres of land. They could be called small landowners in the south.

Such an exemplary role spread through storytellers, inspiring a generation, and more and more refugees came to Guandong.

Over time, the originally cold land of Kanto, where birds did not lay eggs, became the largest source of wheat and sorghum in Han Dynasty.

In the prosperous Guandong, there is a popular joke: beating a roe deer with a stick to scoop out fish, and the pheasant will fly into the rice pot.

Of course, the real excitement of the Kanto region is inseparable from an industry.

Anyone who has been here knows that there is no red light district, so how can you have the nerve to attract investment?

Once upon a time there was a courtesan in the south who debuted at the age of sixteen. He was a master of singing and dancing and was famous for ten years. Then, she was replaced by a new oiran, and a powerful man who originally promised to take her as his concubine became the guest of the new generation of oiran.

In the Han Dynasty, lowly people had no human rights and were not even qualified to be concubines. They were despised wherever they went.

To put it harshly, even the bad guys who pick up shit look down on people of low status.

The oiran was furious and came to Guandong.

Twenty-six years old is a bit old in the prosperous southern region, but in Kanto it is synonymous with youth and beauty.

The oiran became famous, retired at the age of thirty-six, and obtained the official deregistration documents.

After being promoted to a good citizen, she opened a restaurant in the capital of Kanto and recruited a down-and-out scholar as her son-in-law, which has since become a legend.

The oiran became a role model in the romantic world, and more and more of her peers joined the Kanto service industry.

There is strength in numbers, and the wisdom of teamwork is incredible. Kanto has invented many unique service industries. For example, there is a large bathroom based on the local climate. Businessmen who freeze like dogs outside spend money to enter the steaming bathroom and have their backs rubbed by a cute little lady. It is euphemistically called "health and wellness".

Since then, a new word has been born: comprehensive health care.

Over time, a saying has spread in the world: Great health care is in Guandong. So here comes the question, aren’t the countless people who have traveled to Guandong afraid of becoming the food of barbaric monsters?

Speaking of this topic, I have to mention a legendary figure - General Wushuang.

Since General Wushuang served as the garrison of Kanto three hundred years ago, he has truly managed to nip problems in the bud.

Most of the barbarian monsters were cut down on the city walls before they could break through the Great Wall of Evernight.

A small number of flying beasts, even if they flew over the Great Wall, could not escape the ambush of Guandong's army and the Night Watch.

It is said that the concept of "night watchman" was proposed by General Wushuang, and the emperor was very generous and issued an edict to cooperate.

Over the past three hundred years, the harm caused by barbaric monsters to the people of Guandong has become less and less.

As a result, the Kanto region, which was originally a wilderness, has formed one province, eight prefectures, thirty-six counties, and countless villages and towns.

Among the thirty-five provinces of the Han Dynasty, Guandong Province ranks among the top ten in the country in terms of taxes paid to the treasury every year.

And the armaments in Guandong are even more frighteningly powerful.

More than ten years ago, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty went on a personal expedition and fought with the southern army for two years to seize the Xuan Iron Mine, which the Han Dynasty regarded as a national treasure.

At the time of crisis, General Wushuang rushed to the rescue according to the imperial decree. He personally led eight thousand cavalry to fight against the Zhou Dynasty's 300,000 troops. He took the general's head among thousands of troops and horses, and actually beheaded the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty under his horse.

Since then, people all over the country have understood that the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army, which has been fighting barbarian monsters all year round, and those armies in the south that rarely fight once in decades are completely different concepts in terms of combat effectiveness.

In late May, Pei Yin came to Kanto with his three daughters.

Changbai City has been covered in white snow for a long time. From a height, it looks completely white, so it is called Changbai.

This city is the capital of Kanto, commonly known as the provincial capital.

Monks who voluntarily serve as night watchmen must go through the procedures at the relevant provincial capital institutions and obtain the night watchman qualification certification before they can go to the Evernight Great Wall for employment.

In the evening, a woman complained in a guest room in Changbai City.

"What is the official thinking about? He just came to Changbai City and went to the big bathroom?"

The person who spoke was none other than the blonde foreign girl Rebecca.

This time, Jade Sword Fairy and Rebecca are on the same front: "There is nothing to say, men are all big pigs."

Black Rose was unhappy: "You two, don't think that because the official loves you, you can speak freely. The official must have discovered something, so he hurriedly went to investigate."

"In my opinion, he is just anxious to make a big sword."

Rebecca said, seeing that Black Rose was about to go crazy, she quickly added: "Madam, I am sorry for you. How can the vulgar powder in the big bathroom compare to Madam In case? A high-ranking official leaves Madam like this I don’t care about the stunning beauties and running to places like that, it’s really annoying.”

Black Rose was speechless. She recalled that when she first entered this inn, Officer Pei was chatting with the waiter. When he heard about the big bathroom, he immediately ran over.

At the same time, Pei Zhenren is enjoying the special services at Changbai City's one of the most heart-warming bathrooms.

The service tenet of this bathroom is eight words in total: ice and snow, warm people's hearts.
