I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

On the day the market opened, Luo Shixing went to the county government office in Beidai County to check the situation.

In the end, they still placed the market in Beidai County, otherwise it would be tiring to walk a section of mountain road to the middle of the manor.

In order to express his sincerity, Li Chun personally brought people to Beidai County. He didn't bring many people. Except that he thought he was familiar with the worship of Datang, the rest only brought four guards. He also brought some goods over.

When they arrived in Beidai County, Li Chun and the priests around him once doubted their own eyesight. They had been to Beidai County two years ago, and Beidai County at that time... was completely different from what it is now!

The first thing that catches the eye is the city gate. This city gate is actually a city gate, that is, there are two Roman columns on both sides of the road into the city, and there are no serious gates.

These two Roman columns can still be moved, because the time is too short, so we can only repair the houses and shops in the city and the stalls needed in the market. There is no time for the city gate and the city wall, so just place two Roman columns next to the road It's done.

There are two city guards standing guard in front of the Roman column.

Li Chun and the others were startled when they first saw these two city guards, because they thought they were dummy standing there motionless.

As a result, when they were about to enter the city, the two "dummies" stopped them.

The city guard said very politely: "Where are you coming from? Please register here."

Li Chun observed their clothes and frowned. The clothes of these two people looked exactly the same, they should be uniform, and they still had knives around their waists. The guards were all dressed like this?

For a moment, he wondered if the Ouluo tribe had swollen their faces to pretend to be fat, in order to give other small tribes a bad start.

However, what surprised him even more was that these guards could actually write!

When the guard asked him to do the registration, he took out paper and charcoal pencils. After seeing it, Li Chun immediately said, "We don't have writing and we don't know how to read and write Chinese characters."

The Baimu people were not invited to this market at all. If they took the initiative to come to the door, if Ale really found out, they would definitely make trouble for him.

The guard smiled and sat behind the simple desk and said, "You don't need to write, as long as you say which tribe you belong to and what your name is."

Li Chun: ...

He hesitated for a moment and said: "Our tribe was annexed by the Baimu tribe before, and we are the remnants of the Xiuyi tribe."

His lie is indeed flawless. The Xiuyi tribe was annexed not long before this. This tribe has no sense of existence in Lingnan. It is a small tribe with hundreds of people, but the location of their tribe found Yantian, and the Baimu tribe is very close to them. But he didn't have Yantian in his hands, so he annexed the Xiuyi tribe immediately after learning about it.

These two city gate guards were both from the Ouluo clan and knew about the situation of the Xiuyi clan, so they gave him a sympathetic look, and then registered their origins and names on the list.

Li Chun's eyes almost popped out when he watched the unremarkable guard writing.

Although the opponent looked crooked and unskilled in writing, an ordinary city guard soldier actually knew how to write!

The Baimu people have been advocating Sinology for many years and dare not say that everyone in the family can write.

What happened to the Ouluo people these years?Didn't they suffer a disaster last year to the point that the common people couldn't survive, dragging their families and running out to survive?

Li Chun only felt that the world was a bit magical, and he couldn't understand it anymore.

After registration, the guard asked again: "Do you know the rules of the market?"

There are still rules in the market... Li Chun gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know, we also heard from hearsay, and we came here to try our luck because we couldn't make it through."

Well, this time, in order to dress up a little more, he changed into bunts that are commonly used in the local area. You must know that he used to wear silk Tang suits at home.

The guard thought for a while and said, "I'll ask someone to take you there. If you don't understand anything, ask him first."

While talking, he yelled into the distance: "Xiao Liu, come here."

A thin and small child nimbly ran over and asked, "What's wrong with the guard?"

The guard smiled and said, "These are the remnants of the Xiuyi clan, and they don't know much about the rules of the market. You take them to the post station first, and then explain it to them in detail."

"Okay." Xiao Liu responded immediately, turned to Li Chun and the others and said, "You guys, come with me."

post house?Li Chun was suspicious, he had only heard about this thing in legends, it was said that there would be a post house set up by officials on the official road of Tang Dynasty, but Li Chun had never seen it, and it is impossible for them to have it here.

Beidai County... When did there have a post house?

But soon he didn't have time to worry about the post house, because the interior of Beidai County surprised him even more.

The road into the county is wide and flat, and it is very clean and tidy. There are flowers blooming on both sides of the road. Although these flowers are basically transplanted wild flowers, it is not very neat to have all kinds of flowers, but placing them on the side of the road like this A little more beautiful.

All along the street are small two-story buildings, all of which are similar in appearance, but the plaques of each house are very distinctive. They sell everything, and there are even restaurants and wine shops.

Before there was such a thing as a restaurant in the whole of Lingnan, there was only one of their Baimu tribe, and there was no wine shop. This food consumes too much and is too precious. Generally, only the local gentry, wealthy households or rulers will brew it by themselves. drink.

When did the Ouluo tribe have enough food to allow them to sell wine casually?

Li Chun didn't believe it, he didn't believe it very much, he grabbed Xiao Liu who was walking beside him and asked, "Is this place selling wine?"

Wine vats and wine gourds are painted on the signboards of wine shops, and you can tell what they sell at a glance.

Xiao Liu said: "Yes, there are all kinds of wine, most of which are fruit wines, and there are also turbid wines, but they are purchased in limited quantities, one person only has five taels a day, and the store will be gone when they are sold out."

Curious in his heart, Li Chun couldn't help but go in and have a look. After entering, he could smell a special fragrance of wine.

As Xiao Liu said, most of it is the aroma of fruit wine.

When they came in, they saw that the boss was filling a clay pot with wine. After the man left, the boss looked at them.

The boss is a dark middle-aged man, not tall and very thin. When he saw someone coming in, he smiled and said, "What kind of wine do you guys order?"

Li Chun asked, "How do you sell the turbid wine?"

The boss smiled and said: "The turbid wine has been sold out, and tomorrow's orders are all out. If you want to buy turbid wine, you have to make a reservation."

Li Chun was not surprised that Zhuojiu sold so quickly, but asked, "How do I order it? What can I exchange for it?"

The boss asked: "Are you new here? We don't accept other things here, only money."

"Money?" Li Chun was slightly taken aback.

The boss casually took out a one-dollar bill and said, "This, Union currency."

Li Chun stretched out his hand and wanted to take it to have a look, but the boss took it back and said with a smile, "Everyone, I'm sorry, this is mine."

Li Chun pursed his lips and looked down at Xiao Liu who was following him and asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Liu said in an old-fashioned way: "I haven't had time to tell you, that's all right, come with me first, you don't have any money, you can't buy anything here."

Xiao Liu explained while leading them out: "Now Beidai County uses money for transactions. The uncle who sells wine just showed you that the money has a lot of face value. When you arrive at the posthouse, someone will give it to you." You preach."

Li Chun was quite interested: "Then what should we do if we have no money and can't buy things?"

Xiao Liu said: "Didn't you bring the goods? You can sell the goods for money and then go shopping. This is much more convenient."

After he finished speaking, he said: "By the way, the post house also requires money. If you don't have any money, you need to pay a deposit. You can mortgage part of the goods in your hand first, and then pay the room fee to redeem the goods when you have money."

Li Chun kept listening to him without saying a word, feeling as if he had opened the door to a new world.

After arriving at the posthouse, he was even more shocked—the water in this place can flow out by itself!

He was not very happy when he was asked to use the goods as collateral, but after thinking about it, he still mortgaged half a bag of grain.

The shopkeeper calculated that according to the prices of the Ouluo tribe, the food was enough to cover the room and food expenses for ten days.

The market lasted for five days in total, and ten days were enough for everyone to pack up and go home.

After finishing the process, Li Chun and the others followed the inn's staff and led the donkey cart all the way to the backyard. The backyard covers a very large area and there are many side-by-side houses.

The man said as he walked, "This is the warehouse where you store your goods. You are... Let me see, oh, No. 32, come with me."

Li Chun glanced at his house card. There was a key hanging on the house card. It was said that it was used to unlock the room. They asked for a total of three rooms, and each room card had strange symbols written on it.

After the warehouse was opened, there were compartments one by one, and each compartment had a lock. After Li Chun asked his subordinates to put the goods in, he locked the locks himself, and then asked, "Would it be safe to put them here?"

The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one dares, there are people patrolling here, here, come here."

Li Chun turned his head to look and found a group of people wearing the same clothes just walking outside. These people walked straight up with their chests up and their heads up. They looked very imposing and walked very neatly.

The guy explained: "This is specially sent by our guards to patrol. Without them, no one would dare to steal, and even if they come in, they won't be able to get out."

Li Chun smiled on his face, but his heart was a little dignified.

Even the guards guarding the warehouse are imposing. Is this Ouluo tribe... really like the rumors from the outside world, they can only live on their last breath after suffering a disaster?

After the goods were put away and the donkey cart was parked, Li Chun was taken back to their room by the staff.

The guy first asked: "Can you use the faucet and the toilet?"

Li Chun was at a loss: "Water...faucet...what is it?"

The guy is not surprised either, these days he has received a lot of people who don't understand, he is not bothered, even when teaching these people how to use it, he is very proud to see the surprise on their faces.

Their Ouluo tribe is already the most advanced tribe around them!

Li Chun's expression was not much better than those of those people. He was shocked when he saw the water flowing out naturally when the faucet was turned on.

What kind of witchcraft is this?

There is also a toilet, which can also flush automatically.

After Li Chun managed to remember it like a sleepwalker, as soon as the buddy left, he asked someone to close the door and turned to look at the priest: "What are these? When did Tang Dynasty have these things? Why don't we know? "

Every year he sends caravans to Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, for exchanges. Why has he never heard of it before?

Enshrined with a blank face: "These things, the old man has never heard or seen, but one thing is certain."

Li Chun looked at him and asked, "What?"

The priest sighed and said: "The strength of the Ouluo tribe is far stronger than ours."

Li Chun choked suddenly, he knew it, but he just didn't understand how the Ouluo tribe did it!

Could it really be the changes brought about by those former prime ministers?

Li Chun thought for a long time that this could only be the case, so he became more eager to take these prime ministers away.

He paced back and forth for a long time and asked, "I don't know if Min Weng has any contact with those big men?"

Min Weng choked, although his official position was not low before, although the fifth-rank official may not sound high, but overall he is already very good, but even so, he is not worthy of being associated with third-rank officials.

In order to suppress the power of the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, the official position of the prime minister was all three ranks, but generally those who became prime ministers had a rank one rank, even if they were honorary titles.

Min Weng coughed twice and said: "They all come from aristocratic families, and I was an official in the local area before, so I haven't met a few times."

It seemed that this was unreliable, and Li Chun couldn't help thinking, how could he get close to those important figures, and then abduct them back?
