Civilization spreads to another world

The carriage of the Bing family stopped at the gate of Xiangkui City and lined up to enter.

Bing poked his head out, and was surprised to find that the gate of Xiangkui City was almost exactly the same as that of Chang'an Town, but the houses above the gate of Xiangkui City were not as beautiful as Chang'an Town.

"So it was really built according to our city gate." Bing's younger brother Yu also said in surprise.

Bing echoed: "Yes."

They had known the news of Prince Leonis building the Sunflower City for a long time. Although they had never been out in the town, the merchants who came to deliver and pick up the goods often brought them outside news.

I didn't expect what they said was true.

After entering the city gate, the family was even more surprised.

The streets in the city are actually the same as Chang'an Town!

The same two-lane road on the left and right, separated by a flower bed in the middle, street lights with lanterns hanging from garbage bins on the zebra crossing, etc. are all there.

Except for the different houses on both sides, there is no difference between walking on the road and walking in Chang'an Town.

Seeing the surprised look of his parents, Yu said, "It's nothing unusual. Prince Leonis is the disciple of the Envoy of God. Of course, he built a city to imitate our Chang'an Town. I heard that he even asked people to build his own manor after the Grand View Garden. "

Bing has also heard these rumors, and said with a smile: "When I save some more money, I will register with the district committee and upgrade our yard to a quadrangle. We need to enter the second floor, so that in the future me and Yu After marrying a wife, they can continue to live together.”

Mother Bing shook her head quickly: "No, our current house is very good. There are yards in the front and back. If there are few rooms, you can find a bricklayer. Just build a few more rooms next to each other."

She went to see the homes of the people who upgraded the courtyards in the community. Although the courtyards are very beautiful, they only have the front yard and no backyard, and the district committee said that it is not allowed to add enclosures to upgrade to courtyards, so they can only continue to spend money to upgrade.

Their house is small but the enclosed yard is large. At that time, the yard was circled casually. She circled a large area in the front and back yards. Now it can’t work. After the district committee appeared, it went door-to-door and registered. enclosure.

The yards that the later merchant slaves got were not half as large as their front yards. Who in the community would not envy them who came first.

Fortunately, she gritted her teeth and tried hard to fence the land, otherwise she would regret it now.

The front and back are so big that two courtyard houses can fit in. If there are fewer houses, they will be built again. The district committee has already told them that the upgrade of a single-family house like theirs with its own yard in the future will only make the house worse. It's just getting more refined and beautiful.

As soon as she heard it, she didn't ask her son to spend money to upgrade it. What's the use of being beautiful, as long as it's strong and spacious. The brick house they live in now is very strong and not ugly, with blue bricks and white tiles, in her opinion, it's no better than a courtyard house Poor, the four people in the family can live there completely. In the future, the two sons will get married and have children, and it will be enough to clear the yard and build a few more rooms.

Many families in the community are like this. Although it is more expensive to hire a mason than to register for an upgrade, they can choose how the house will be built.

She can also continue to keep her backyard chickens and sheep.

"Then build two ones connected together, so that there is also a front yard and a backyard." Bing persuaded.

Yu also said: "Or they can be next to each other. My family is at the same table. His eldest brother and sister-in-law live in the same yard as his second brother and sister-in-law. He and his younger siblings live in the same yard as his parents. There is a door in the middle of the two yards. can pass.”

Bing continued to persuade without stopping: "If we are afraid that the yard will become smaller, we can save some more and directly build two secondary ones, or three, so that when the aunt's family moves to Chang'an Town, they can live with us."

Mother Bing was moved by the last sentence, and she looked at her husband.

Bing's father smiled and said: "Bing is right, when you get your sister's family, you can't let them live in the inn, and after they get married, it will be more convenient to separate the yard from the yard."

Yu immediately cheered and hugged his father happily. He liked the beautiful courtyard house more than the brick and tile house, and he was very envious every time he went to play at the same table's house.

Bing has already begun to calculate how much money it will cost in his mind.

The carriage moved forward along the main road, and soon arrived at the governing hall of Xiangkui City. They had already registered the meeting time through the district committee, and Xiangkui City would help them arrange a meeting.

Mother Bing, who quickly completed the registration and verification, saw her sister whom she had not seen for 20 years in the meeting room.

Mother Bing's younger sister is three years younger than her. She was 15 when she was given to Baron Kashiwagi, and her younger sister is 20. In the past [-] years, the appearance of the two has changed greatly.

The lively and lovely younger sister in her memory has become a woman who looks older than her in front of her eyes.

But she knew right from the first glance, the eyes, nose and mouth, including the obvious mole on the cheek, were not the sister who was holding her and crying when she left.

And the younger sister apparently recognized her too.

"Blue fruit!"

"elder sister!"

The two sisters hugged each other and cried.

Bing and Yu hurried forward to persuade, but Bing's father was in a wheelchair, and it was inconvenient for him to go up the steps and did not come down.

"Where is your husband and children?" Mother Bing asked, wiping her tears.

Somewhat embarrassed, Lan Guo took the tissue from his nephew and said, "They are repairing the road, and they won't be back until lunch."

Mother Bing touched her younger sister's hand, which was rougher than before. Although she left her family early and was framed and kicked out of the manor, she soon married her current husband. The family suffered a lot, and later came to Chang'an Town, and their life became better and better.

This year, she ate well and slept well, and she no longer had to work hard in the fields, and she actually became younger.

And the younger sister is obviously doing very badly.

Make her sad and distressed.

He immediately made a decision in his heart, he must take his sister back to Chang'an Town.

After leaving the governing hall, the family sat back in the carriage, and Mother Bing introduced her husband to her younger sister.

Lan Guo saw her brother-in-law sitting in a wheelchair and held her sister's hand tightly.

Bing's father smiled and said, "During the famine last winter, I went down to the river to catch fish and it froze. It's nothing. In our Chang'an Town, even if you don't have legs, you can work."

Bing's mother hurriedly added: "Yes, we don't farm the land anymore. I work as a cook in the factory canteen. Bing and your brother-in-law opened a food shop. The business is very good, and the fish will help."

Ice and fish also help each other with your words.

There was a smile on Lan Guo's sad face.

The carriage turned from the main road into the small road, and went more and more sideways, and finally stopped in front of crowded thatched cottages.

The family got out of the car, and Bing's mother sighed inwardly as she looked at the crumbling house.

The visit of the horse-drawn carriage caused people in the surrounding huts to run out, and the children circled around the horse-drawn carriage curiously. The driver drove them away for a long time before driving away.

The Bing family was neatly dressed, which amazed the people in the alley.

The young fish felt uncomfortable, so he hid behind his father on the pretext of pushing the wheelchair.

Bing, who has been running the store for more than half a year, is not surprised by this kind of scene, and smiles and greets the people who are gradually gathering around.

Bing's mother and father were also generous to let people see, and Lan Guo hurriedly opened the door of the thatched cottage to let people in.

"...This is my sister..." Facing the questions from her neighbors, she replied awkwardly, "They came to see me from Chang'an Town..."

Afraid of admitting the wrong person, she did not tell outsiders about finding her sister.

The name of Chang'an Town has long been spread throughout the Honey Gold Empire, and the Sunflower City is the closest to Chang'an Town, and news about Chang'an Town has been buzzing all the time.

The eyes of the neighbors looking at the Bing family suddenly became extremely hot.

"My God, Chang'an Town! You are from Chang'an Town! Come out and see, you are from Chang'an Town!"

"Have you ever seen an envoy? What does an envoy look like?"

"I heard that the envoys flew down from the sky, right?"

……

The neighbors immediately surrounded Lan Guo's house, and some squeezed into the yard, asking questions curiously.

The Bing family was a little overwhelmed.

"Stop!" Bing stood up, "I'll go out and tell you what everyone wants to know. My mother finally met my aunt, let them have a chat, let's go."

He pushed everyone out with open arms, and gave his brother Yu a wink, and Yu immediately followed behind and closed the door.

Bing stood at the door and smiled: "Come, come, everyone, don't squeeze, just ask slowly if you want to know something."

As he spoke, he sat down on the wooden pier at the door.

This time he came out with a mission on his back. Before leaving, the district committee held a meeting with them and asked them to help promote Chang'an Town.

Although Bing didn't go to the academy to study, he has been studying with his younger brother in private, and after more than half a year of training in opening a shop, he can now speak clearly and eloquently.

Although Chang'an Town is famous, except for noble tourists and businessmen, few ordinary people know what it looks like inside. Everyone is full of curiosity about Chang'an Town and the envoys.

"...The gates and roads of Xiangkui City are very similar to Chang'an Town..."

"...Yes, there are pagodas, lingering gardens, and earthen buildings. On New Year's Eve, the envoys even built a new star observatory..."

"...Master God Envoy is very merciful, let us only charge [-]% tax for farming."

The neighbors gasped in disbelief.

Many of them used to be serfs, but because of the famine they fled and became labor slaves, and were dispatched to build Xiangkui City.

When they were still serfs, only [-]% was left to them.

"My lord envoy is a messenger sent by the goddess of peace..."

"We're celebrating New Years, New Year's Eve, a whole month to celebrate, everyone has half a month off..."

"There are no beggars in Chang'an Town..."

"Master Divine Envoy is of course the most handsome..."

"God made the adults take in many slaves. As long as they work hard and accumulate enough work points, they can become workers. Workers are the same as free people. They make paper glass, burn bricks and tiles in factories, and lanterns and candles are all made by workers. , the factory will give them free houses for hardworking workers, and the factory will organize blind dates every month to help them start a family..."

The neighbors were shocked.

Everyone knows that the envoys took slaves, but the change of status of slaves was not publicized. The noble temple knew about it, but did not publicize it.

In fact, if it weren't for Shi Yu and Huo Ci's follow-up report, the nobles in the royal city and the Holy See would be arguing because of this matter.

That's why they didn't advertise it.

As soon as the pathology said it, slave or not, it was immediately put aside.

So the civilians only heard vague rumors.

When Bing said this, it was clearly stamped as a fact.

Bing is not the only one. The residents of Chang'an Town who came to Xiangkui City that day are all promoting, with the relatives they found, with the passers-by, and with the bosses in the roadside stalls in the tavern and so on.

In the evening, the news spread throughout Xianggui City.

"Does the envoy still accept slaves?"

This was the first thought of many slaves who heard the news.

Residents from Chang’an Town are already free people, except for their relatives, they are free people from Xiangkui City who come to talk to them. The slaves surrounded the room tightly.

Bing talked from the morning until it was getting dark, and even my uncle and cousins ​​only said hello when they came back.

"I don't know about this. If the envoy of God needs it, he should discuss it with your lord."

He repeats it over and over again.

The slaves left disappointed, each with their own plans.

Those who can be found are not those who have become numb and resigned to their fate.

Of course, Shi Yu and Huo Ci couldn't say that they came here casually, as long as they came, they would accept it. Emancipating slaves and becoming workers had already challenged the social system.

And once they open their mouths, it will inevitably trigger the slaves to rape, which is not what they want to see.

And they don't want to tear their skins off with the nobles and the Holy See, just poke at them secretly.

Anyway, they didn't explicitly say that slaves were welcome, they just let outsiders know how the slaves in Chang'an Town were treated, but if they really came to defect, they would naturally not refuse.

According to the news sent back by Jin Yi, there have been incidents of escaped slaves in various places, but it is a pity that the slaves did not have financial support and could not escape far.

They could only tell Jin Yi to pay more attention, and if they encountered them, they would stay and send them over quietly.

Anyway, the Holy See and the nobles continued to send them slaves, and the extra few were not eye-catching.

However, Shi Yu is already thinking about whether to form a team in private, and pretend to be a businessman like Jin Yi to rescue these people.

After all, it was because of their appearance that these slaves resisted. Maybe they didn't appear. They worked hard but at least they were alive.

Furthermore, most of the slaves who can resist are former nobles, and they may be able to pick out the talents they need from these people.

Different from what the slaves were concerned about, the free people in Xiangkui City were more concerned about the recruiting of Chang'an Town College revealed by the residents of Chang'an Town.

The news that the God Envoy opened an academy to teach children himself is well known, and they have long been envious.

In this era, there are very few channels for common people to receive knowledge. Although common people are illiterate, it does not mean that they are not smart. Otherwise, the temples in various territories would not receive common students every year.

Although these ordinary students have no way to cross classes after enlightenment, they are also excellent reserves of talents accumulated from generation to generation.

Especially the free citizens of Xiangkui City, because of the news of the envoy's coming to the world, most of the people who moved here were well-informed and had a little bit of status.

Even some nobles sent relatives and officials.

They came here for the signboard of the envoy, and they dragged their families away from their homeland. Naturally, they wanted to establish a relationship with the envoy.

It's a pity that Chang'an Town has been closed before, and only aristocratic tourists are accepted, so they can only wait.

Now that there is finally news, it suddenly boils.

The academy founded by the angel himself.

This alone is enough for them to go bankrupt and send their children there.

If you can get the blue eyes of the envoys of the gods and be accepted as a disciple by them, then you will reach the sky in one step!

For some ambitious free folk, this is the only chance to cross class!

As a result, the freedmen with some status and wealth in Xiangkui City immediately approached the residents of Chang'an Town who came to play like bees smelling nectar, and some even invited them to their homes.

Even Aunt Bing's house was visited with gifts.

For a while, Xiangwei City was in a turmoil.

At the same time, those merchants who were looking for relatives and returning home in several neighboring territories were also surrounded.

For the first time, the true face of Chang'an Town is known to ordinary people.

For half a month, the news spread farther and farther.
