He Sanlang sucked at the corner of his mouth, then turned his head, and really did not want to talk to a rice bucket like Xiao Hongyu.
This small town on the edge of the north border will be raised for two days, and Tang Yan and others will catch up.
Although he was robbed by a barbarian before, He Changzheng brought in someone in time, and there was no loss to Chu Yun's things.
As soon as Tang Yan heard about Chu Xi's encounter with Tu Hun's elite soldiers, it was a little stunned. After soothing two sentences, he decided that the road would no longer be separated from Chu Qi.
Although the people in Chu's team have different injuries, just in case, after a four-day break in the town, the team is reorganized and set off. After all, there are still winter supplies for the North Frontier in the team. Even if it is just to look like that, it is necessary to round up the queen of the old queen.
The more you go to Liangzhou City, the more desolate it is. When you are outside Liangzhou City, Chu Yuan looks at the devastated Liangzhou City, but he ca n’t believe it.
Where can it be called a city? A county in the hinterland of the Dawu Dynasty is probably richer than this Liangzhou city several times. The earthen walls were blown by the wind, and the soil scum was blown down. The city was full of broken walls and residues. Several Dawu dynasties were not seen on the street at all. Thin bones and noodles with dishes.
There are basically no brick houses in the city, and all of them are earth-roofed thatched roofs. When Correct was cooking in the evening, I didn't see cooking smoke in several courtyards.
I am afraid that the entire population of Liangzhou City has not been stationed here.
Chu Xi finally knows why the princes in Shengjing City call this Liangzhou City a barren land.
Here I want to be a steppe in later generations. Although the mountains are high and the mountains are wide, the climate is bad and it is not suitable for farming. The winter days are long. Go to the hinterland of Dawu. The farmland at the junction of Liangzhou can be matured once a year. To the north, the soil is simply not suitable for crop survival.
The ground will be covered by thick snow in winter. When spring comes, the thick snow will melt into a swamp ...
Chu Yan looked up at the wall made of loess. At this moment, there were two soldiers standing on the wall, wrapped in a ball, and they could not see what they were wearing, only to see them standing on the wall. trembling.
Chu Wei sighed, can such a fragile wall really resist the fierce Tuhun soldiers?
Tang Yan walked beside him and saw Chu Ye lifted the felt curtain of the carriage. When he looked at the city wall, he came over.
"Will the villager look at this loess city wall?"
Chu Yan turned and glanced at him, and nodded.
Tang Yan shook his lips slightly, and his voice brought helplessness, "Liangzhou City is located in the northern part of my Dawu Dynasty, and the township prince has come to see it all the way. There is a shortage of supplies here, and the court will allocate large sums of money every year to repair Liangzhou The city ’s walls are a pity. "
Chu Xi was surprised, "Big money? Can the city wall be repaired like this?"
Inadvertently, Chu Yi spoke to her heart.
Tang Yan didn't care, just said: "Let's not talk about the loss of the local government's appropriation to the local area. There are other more important reasons. When the township lord enters the city, you can know without mentioning it."
Chu Yi didn't expect that he also sold a pass. Did Tang Yan want to test her?
Chu Yi didn't pay much attention, nodded, and let Qin Guanshi tell the convoy to enter the city. They had the queen mother's purpose, and it was convenient to enter Liangzhou City.
The streets in Liangzhou are full of rubbish. A gust of wind rolled up, and an odor spread away, making people feel sick. This is obviously a relationship that no one has been maintaining for a long time.
Chu Xi lifted the curtain slightly and looked outside, Dai Mei frowned. Fortunately, it was winter. If it was hot summer, such an environment could easily spread epidemic diseases.
Tang Yan sent people into the city to arrange a place for living earlier.
When he got to the place, Chu Yuan saw the simple word "Hefu" hanging on the front door of the courtyard, and he was told that it was the residence of Liangzhou Chengzhizhou.
If this mansion with an area of only five or six acres is placed in other towns of the Dawu dynasty, it can be regarded as a farmyard where the rich squires live at most. It can be located in this Liangzhou city. already is the best place to live.
Although the house of the mansion is also built from the earth, at least the outer layer is made of cooked soil. The roof is not covered with thatched grass but with tiles.
This way, the environment in Hefu is a little better.
Chu Yi was asked to hold the carriage by Lan. Her feet can't work hard now, and she needs to be raised for another four or five days. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw a whole body under the broken wall not far away. The half-old child in fur was squatting there, and a small pile of fur was stacked in front of him, looking like sheepskin.
At this time, he was shrinking into the corner, looking secretly towards them with his big eyes, and seemed to be evaluating the purchasing power of their pedestrian.
Chu frowned and looked at him.
The half-old child seemed to be unable to care anymore, and ran over holding the bundle of sheepskin. It was only a short while before that that Chu Chu saw the dirty face.
The child was caught by the powerful family and pressed to the ground before the child arrived in front of Chu Yan.
Mo Chenggui's face was dark. "Mother-in-law, this northern border is not in Shengjing City. If you encounter the third master of Tuhun the same as last time, you will blame me for being old."
Wen Lan, who was standing next to Chu Yan, heard Mo Chenggui's stabbing words, and she would be angry in front of Chu Yan. Chu Yan quickly held her and winked at Wen Lan.
Wan Lan suppressed the anger in his chest and stepped aside.
Chu Yan smiled at Mo Chenggui, "Thank you Uncle Mo, I will be careful."
Mo Chenggui didn't expect Chu Yi to return this time, and for a moment he was completely speechless.
The child was pressed to the ground, struggling, but without too much panic. He seized the opportunity and shouted: "The nobleman spares his life, the small one just wants the nobleman to buy the sheepskin on the small hand, the small My mother and sister are starving, and there is no food in the house, so I look forward to these sheepskins in the small hands! "
Tang Yanming's guards went to check. Sure enough, nothing was found in the half-old child. He nodded gently to Chu Yan.
Mo Chenggui didn't see Chu's nosy behavior. He snorted from the nostril and advanced "Hefu", which was invisible.
Chu Xi pointed to a roll of sheepskin on the ground, "Bring me that and see."
Qin Guanshi personally stooped to pick up the sheepskin and carefully checked it again, and then handed it to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi flipped around twice. The sheepskin is nothing special. It is the sheepskin of the ordinary sheep raised by herders and barbarians in the north. Even the surface of the sheepskin is a little black and the color is black. It is estimated that it is not really impoverished, and it will not be sold out of this kind of sheepskin.
The sight fell on the child. He was ragged and clad in an animal skin of unknown sort, his arms and elbows were exposed below the joints, and his hands were lying on the ground and flushed red.
Chu Xi sees the pitiful child, and doesn't want to think that what he said is true or false. He asked Lan aside, asked Lan slightly nodded, took his purse, and took out a small silver ingot from the purse. The son walked to the half-old child who was still pressed by the family on the ground, and said, "Boy, our master has bought your sheepskin. This is the silver for your sheepskin, but next time I do n’t want to impulsively stop the noble, our master Xinshan didn't treat you well, but not everyone is like our master, so let's do it! "
This silver has at least five or six dollars. It is enough to buy three or four times the sheepskin in this child's hand. He asks Lan to put the silver in front of the child and instructs the family to let him go. And government. "
But she just turned around, and the half-old child who was released held her leg. "Sister, younger don't want silver, please, change the silver to something for the younger!"
Wen Lan was startled and almost kicked the child away.
She reluctantly turned around and asked the guard to pull the child apart, and there was some discomfort in her eyebrows. "Why are you kid so ignorant! Do you still think our master has given you enough? Tell you, these silvers bought you sheepskin Three or four times more than enough! "
"No, no, the little one doesn't want to abandon the little, the little one just asks her sister to give a few pot helmets." After that, she scrambled to ask Lan a desperate head.
Ask Lan is stunned. I can't believe it. Some people would rather have a few pot helmets worth a few pennies, but don't want the broken silver worth a few hundred pennies. Is this child stupid?
Chu Yan frowned slightly and looked at the situation in front of him. Tang Yan glanced at Chu Yan with a deep smile.
Suddenly, Chu Ling's mind flashed.
She asked Lan: "Ask Lan, give him something to eat."
Qing Lan is strange, but he still does.
The half-big boy took the three hard-headed buns that Lan handed to him, his face full of concealed joy, hurried into his arms, looked left and right, and then choked his head in the direction of Chu Yan. , Then quickly ran away and disappeared in the corner of the alley.
Chu Xi watched the child's figure disappear before ordering everyone to settle in the government.
She had an injury on her foot. When asked Qing Qing Lan Fu was walking slowly, Tang Yan caught up in three or two steps.
He asked with a smile: "But did the townlord know the reason?"
Chu Yan smiled bitterly, could she not know? The little incident that just happened is so obvious.
She sighed slightly and said, "What Liangzhou City lacks is not silver money but real supplies."
Tang Yan nodded his head, "Xian Jun is really smart."
In Liangzhou City, many places still maintain the original state of barter. Here, the common currency is not gold, silver, or even copper money. Most of the time, it is livestock such as cattle and sheep, and it can also be cloth salt. .
In the eyes of the people in Liangzhou City, the silver that can buy a hundred kilograms of white rice in Shengjing City is not as good as a hard pot helmet.
No wonder the Ministry of Households makes annual appropriations, and the city walls of Liangzhou City are being repaired every year, but today they are still in ruins.
The money from the Ministry of Households is set aside. It does not count the exploitation from top to bottom. When the money really arrives near Liangzhou, the purchasing power of already can not be lower, and then it is replaced by goods to Liangzhou. already is less. There are fewer, and the loss, if the walls can be repaired, there will be ghosts.
Money doesn't do much at all here.
