Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 307
Did you get lost in Chang'an?
The elders of the Ye family have never been to Chang'an. To be precise, he has never even been out of Youzhou.

Therefore, he could not answer the junior's question.

But looking at the tall and exaggerated city wall in front of them, the elders of the Ye family thought, Chang'an City is probably of this size, right?

An ancestor of the Ye family was fortunate enough to travel to Luoyang and left records.

In the city of Luoyang, 24 streets and nine streets crisscross each other. The city wall is about ten feet wide, and horses can gallop on the wall.

Chang'an should be similar to Luoyang.

However, this majestic city in front of us has towering walls and a moat that is more than twenty feet wide.

It's just a hair short of the value recorded in Uncle Zhi's travel notes to Luoyang.

Looking as far as the eye can see, you can still see some bamboo and wooden shelves at the end of the city wall.

Even as Yuan Day approaches, there are still servants working on the mountain to expand.

The hearts of the elders of the Ye family trembled.

"Zuo Zhuan" records that there are restrictions on building cities and districts.

Not to mention that winter consumes the people's energy so much, and the people's resentment will boil.

According to the etiquette, Lingzhi was not qualified to build such a high and wide city wall.

This move is really against the rules.

A trace of thought flashed in the eyes of the elders of the Ye family. There are rumors in the North that the prefect Zhao Yun is very observant?

I'm afraid this rumor needs to be discounted.

He let out a sigh.

Sure enough, in these troubled times, where are the loyal ministers and honest gentlemen of the Han Dynasty?

Ye Qing, the elder of the Ye family, stood in front of the Lingzhi city wall in a daze.

Ye Shu, the younger member of the Ye family, stood beside him honestly despite the wind and snow.

He is not as knowledgeable as his elders, who knows what etiquette is and what is a waste of people's energy.

Young people care about interesting things on the side - some children playing on the ice on the frozen moat.

The oldest of these children was only eight or nine years old. The older ones were accompanied by younger ones, and they were all wearing somewhat large coats.

Playing skating games on the frozen river, you are not afraid of the cold at all.

The ice surface was rubbed shiny by these urchins.

If you apply tung oil, you won't be able to stand at all.

These children took advantage of this slipperiness to play and chase on the ice.

Occasionally they would stop and gather together mysteriously to share some snacks.

In this icy and snowy Northland, such a scene is rarely seen.

The people in Guizhou wear one piece of reed clothing and the whole family wears it. In the winter, the cats at home are frozen in the winter.

Most of these children come from wealthy families, so they have thick clothes to wear and extra energy to play.

Ye Shu couldn't help but turn his neck, trying to see which family was so generous and allowed the children in the clan to play around here.

I looked left and right but there was no guard in sight.

Unexpectedly, a skinny city gate captain came to the city gate. He stood on the noose bridge and shouted loudly: "You little bastards, are you desperate for your life? Are you playing here?"

"I drove away just now, and now I'm here again. Doesn't Gong Nai's words have any effect?"

Although these urchins refuse to change despite repeated admonitions, they are still afraid of them in person.

Hearing the scolding from the city gate captain, they immediately dispersed.

The ice was slippery, and a group of children rolled all over the ground while running.

Looking at them from a distance, they look like dough in a soup cake bowl, which makes people laugh.

Chengmen Wei made up his mind today to teach these children to be good.

He was originally a military man, so he took a few steps around the road to catch up with the big kid who was leading the group.

He grabbed his collar and kicked his butt twice.

Then he grabbed the crying child and cursed fiercely: "If it falls into an ice hole, it will be soaked when it comes up next year!"

"If you can't persuade me, I'll definitely beat you!"

After scolding the leading child, the city gate captain shouted to the children who ran away: "Go and call this bastard's parents to redeem him!"

He grabbed the child's neck with his rough hands and turned back to the city gate.

The Ye family's motorcade, which was opposing the city gate, had no special reaction.

Ever since the city wall was rebuilt, people who came to Lingzhi for the first time always stayed there for only one or two people.

There are many strange things after entering the city, and you have to get used to them sooner or later.Ye Shuquan saw this little episode.

He was a little confused. He looked at the clothes earlier and asked which rich family these children belonged to.

Now I see a rough guy like Chengmen Lie grabbing a child and kicking his butt, but it doesn't feel right.

Ye Qing, the elder of the Ye family, finally got out of the crazy thoughts that only smart people have.

He took a deep breath and said, "Come in!"

The rumored situation of the Gongsun family, the governor of Zhao, will be known once you enter.

The talisman was checked as usual and the items brought by the team were checked.

Before Ye Qing could hand over the cloth hidden in his sleeve to pay the bribe, the city gate captain waved his hand to let him go.

The Ye family's motorcade drove forward in the snow and was frightened by Zhang Fei again in the wilderness.

After entering the door, the first thing to do is to find a place to stay, take a breath and send a greeting card.

The next day, I packed up and went to visit Gongsun's family in a decent manner.

Ye Qing asked the city gate captain about the guest house.

Follow the direction pointed by the city gate captain and head towards Dongshi.

Before leaving, Ye Qing returned to the car and smelled the aroma of food.

A female voice shouted loudly: "It's time to eat!"

Ye Shu felt strange and opened the curtain to take a look.

I saw some women standing in front of a few wooden carts.

They were all wearing a strange black robe, which looked very warm.

A woman with a round face held a long horse spoon with a wooden handle in her hand, and she banged it on the gong hanging in front of the wooden cart.

With shouts.

A large number of people walked down the city wall.

They are all people working on the city walls in the snow.

These people were also wearing strange-looking robes. They were sweating from their work, and white smoke was rising from their heads.

The women in front of the wooden cart saw them coming and opened the large pot wrapped in a quilt on the flatbed cart.

As the white mist rises, an alluring aroma spreads.

Simple stewed tofu with dried vegetables and steamed buns with rye noodles are the lunch dishes provided by the official family.

Foot salt and foot oil are the best Gongsun Yan can give them at present.

The warm aroma of the vegetables tickles your nose.

Ye Qing lifted up the car curtain and paused in astonishment.

These working people came down from the city wall and queued up to receive meals.

The carriage is drifting away.

Ye Qing stretched her neck and looked back.

A dishonest worker wanted to take advantage of the woman who was working as a cook.

The woman pointed a rice spoon at her nose and cursed: "You build the city wall and transport sand and soil, while we grind flour, wash vegetables, cook and mend."

"It's all work, who's more valuable? Stop using your hands and feet. If you mess around and take away your qualifications to work, I'll ask you to go to jail!"

After being scolded, this dishonest person was still a little angry, but he didn't know how to be afraid until he heard about Youyou.

He smiled and wanted to talk nonsense, but the women were so stubborn that no one would give him food.

Ye Qing retracted his head. He didn't know whether this person had eaten in the end.

Just the brief conversation between these people was enough to shake his mind.

Only then did Ye Qing realize that he was wrong - he was not driving the servants uncontrollably.

These people must have volunteered, and could even be said to be competing for the opportunity to work in the winter.

A snowflake fell on his face, and he murmured to himself: "It's such a cold winter, are you scrambling for work?"

Could something like this happen?

While his mind was in a state of confusion, he heard the unsatisfactory junior Ye Shu beside him exclaim: "What is that?"

"Guest house?"

Ye Qing turned around and saw a gray three-story building standing at the end of the street.

A guest house book sign hangs in front of the door.
