The road is spacious and smooth, with no end in sight. And very hard.
The originally hazy sky started to rain lightly.
But the strange thing is that there is not even a trace of dust on the ground. The water flows into the ditch next to it, and then slowly flows forward. It looks like a stream has been opened up on both sides of the road.
On both sides, some trees that I couldn't name were neatly arranged there.
Spreading into the distance.
"Is this really Yazhou? I haven't woken up yet, right?"
While speaking, he slapped himself hard on the cheek.
"Hey, it really hurts!"
Continuing forward, there is a refreshing fragrance of flowers, mixed with the smell of earth after the rain.
This feeling made him feel relaxed and happy!
"That's not right. The gods don't even know about Yazhou's appearance? I've never heard anyone talk about it before!"
This was none other than Di Qing.
After Di Qing left Hejian, he walked southward without stopping.
When I was about to arrive at Yazhou, I took some time off and remembered His Majesty's instructions, so I packed myself up and moved forward leisurely.
However, when he came to the border of Yazhou, he was a little shocked.
Why is this Yazhou so different from what I imagined?
Is Li Xian really suffering in this place?
Although it was already winter, the temperature here was still very comfortable. With a bit of curiosity in his eyes, he carefully observed the ground.
Di Qing is a very smart person and good at observation.
He discovered that the ground should be paved with a special material, but he had never heard of this material before.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be used in the divine capital first.
But he never expected that he would actually come to Yazhou.
"Originally, I was wondering why Your Majesty asked me to come to Yazhou? But I didn't expect that Yazhou actually hides so many secrets!" As he spoke, Di Qing took a long breath and did not forget this time. the goal of.
Then he got on the donkey again!
"Okay, drive!"
Di Qing said excitedly: "Yazhou, I'm here!"
A peasant woman picking fruits next to her raised her head and looked at Di Qing as if she were a fool, and then shook her head helplessly: "Another person from below, I'm afraid I haven't even seen a little bit of it in the market!"
"I was so excited when I first arrived in Yazhou. If I really saw Yazhou City, I don't know how happy I would be!"
Di Qing was speechless for a moment, and his original excitement disappeared instantly.
He was actually looked down upon by others, even though he was a god.
Why do you feel like you've come from the countryside when you get here?
However, Di Qing didn't think much about it.
Continue riding the donkey forward.
At the city gate, the two gatekeepers were also a little confused when they saw Di Qing.
"Hey, this is really strange. I have never seen anyone riding a donkey on the road. At least I should get a mule..."
The soldier looked at Di Qing and said with a smile: "It seems that he came from a place not far away, right? This donkey's endurance is not good!"
"yes!"
Di Qing laughed and said, "My lord, please forgive me. This is my first time coming to Yazhou. When was this Yazhou City renovated? It looks very new!"
"Yazhou City started to be repaired six years ago, and it took more than a year!"
"Such a big city? It only took more than a year to complete the renovation?"
Di Qing felt a little incredible.
Looking at the soldiers in front of him, he asked aloud.
"Let's work together. The top will pay wages and take care of food and accommodation. The people below will naturally work hard. If they voluntarily work overtime, they will be paid overtime!"
"As long as the money is enough, it doesn't matter if you work overtime until you die!"
At this time, an old man next to him said cheerfully: "You don't know, at that time, all the young men from all over the country were mobilized. However, there are also strict requirements!"
"Oh? What's the request?"
Hearing this, Di Qing felt a little strange.
"Young men aged 18 to 30 can work up to 3 hours of overtime a day, and no more is allowed. Those aged 30 to 50 can work up to 2 hours of overtime a day, and those over 50 are not allowed to work overtime at all. !”
The old man shook his head helplessly: "Otherwise, this city may be completed earlier than expected!"
Di Qing was also a little confused.
Is this still possible?
But where did the governor of Yazhou get so much money? The materials to build the city cost money, and the workers also needed money.
You know, the imperial court basically used labor to build palaces. Ordinary people have a certain share of labor every year. When you are not busy farming, you need to obey the orders. Although it is said that one has to take care of food and drink, money is basically not available.
This would save the court a lot of money.
Moreover, in fact, the court also wants to prevent the people from having too much money in their hands. The so-called country is rich and the people are strong, which is actually a false proposition. When the people are rich, the country may not be strong. Because the people below still have a strong sense of worry. If they have money, they will want to save it as soon as possible.
Not just the common people, even those wealthy businessmen, aristocratic families, and officials.
This is also true.
No matter how they got the money, they have to save it. Although some people squander it, unless the person is involved in some gambling, it is not easy to lose all the family property. .
But, how dare he?
"By the way, I want to enter the city and apply for a voucher!"
Di Qing's voice was very soft.
"good!"
The guard nodded, and then continued: "Take out your talisman, and how long will it take for you to enter the city?"
"Oh, it will take about a month to enter the city, but I can't say for sure. If it's more, it may take two or three months!" Di Qing replied softly.
"Then I suggest you apply for a temporary residence permit!"
"Also, this donkey of yours..."
Di Qing pondered for a moment before continuing: "It's best to find a place to store them after entering the city. There are a lot of horses in Yazhou recently, and the sanitation workers below are a little too busy. In desperation, your Excellency implemented an odd and even number traffic restriction. policy!”
"You donkey, it's really difficult to handle!"
"Restricted to odd and even numbers?"
Di Qing's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "What do you mean?"
"That is, we will put a serial number on each horse, one on the front and one on the back. The mantissas of this serial number are, respectively, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, zero!"
The guard patiently explained to Di Qing.
