Scholars unparalleled

At this time of year, the Tartars have never stopped making troubles, and it is normal for Lu Chensheng to be a little wary.
After a while, Lu Chensheng came to the city wall, and Bai Yi was patrolling the city wall.
"How are the Tartars doing?"
Looking into the distance, Lu Chensheng could see a troop of cavalry slowly approaching the city. When he saw the black light glowing carefully, he knew it was his own heavy cavalry, so he skipped over.
"I haven't received any specific news yet, but counting the time, I'm afraid the Tartars will take action."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi immediately responded seriously.
At this time of the previous year, it was also the time when the Tartars started to act. The ice and snow on the grassland would freeze to death countless livestock, making it extremely difficult for them to live.
Under such circumstances, they would go south to plunder in advance to ensure that they could survive this winter safely.
Therefore, Bai Yi felt that the other party had almost started to act.
However, the trade in Xinghan City has increased a lot recently, even those foreigners know that there is a lot of food and spirits in Xinghan City.
Under such circumstances, the possibility of the opponent coming to attack the city has increased a lot, and this matter has to be guarded against.
"Well, be more vigilant, this may be the first battle in Star Seoul."
Lu Chensheng nodded, turned his head to look, and at every other point on the city wall, there were soldiers standing guard looking straight into the distance, feeling a little relieved in his heart.
They are all trained soldiers, fed with various eggs and meat, they all look quite burly, and they are still capable of fighting.
"Don't worry, the soldiers are all in good condition. If there are Tartars coming, they will come and go!"
Bai Yi is extremely confident, with the weapons forged from manganese steel, plus the food in the city and the high walls, in Bai Yi's opinion, it is not a problem at all to keep this place.
Lu Chensheng smiled, such a high city wall did give him a lot of confidence, but now he still needs to go through actual combat to know.
"After this caravan comes, the trade will be cut off for the time being."
Lu Chensheng turned his head and looked at the caravan approaching below.
It won't be long before the Tartars are afraid that they will attack. In the past, these Tartars were quite abiding by the rules and would not attack the merchants outside the Great Wall.
After all, these merchants still have to buy their furs, and then bring them salt and other things.
But now that things have changed, I am afraid that these businessmen will suffer.
To be on the safe side, it is better to cut off the trade route first.
But after this break, the subsequent losses will be quite large, and the income of Xing Seoul will be gone. It is not easy to live on the laurels, and the daily losses must be tens of thousands of silver.
Bai Yi frowned, but after thinking about it, she felt that Lu Chensheng's decision was right.
If the Tartars want to take action against Xing Seoul, then these merchants will not have a chance of being spared.
With the escort of heavy cavalry, that would also cause trouble.
The heavy cavalry will probably be fine, but for the Tartars who are extremely powerful in riding and shooting, killing these merchants is not a big problem.
"This matter still needs to be notified."
Lu Chensheng nodded, "I'll let them know when I go down later, and the caravan stranded in the city will send them back as soon as possible."
Next, Xing Seoul will almost begin to be closed.
"The foreign nomads here, have you made any moves recently?"
Lu Chensheng turned his head to look at the old city, a part of the old city was specially resettled for foreigners, and there was a yamen servant composed of Gu Zhifang and others to take care of it.
"A few suspicious guys have been found these days, but they haven't taken any action, and it's not easy for us to catch people."
Bai Yi replied.
Picking people also needs to pay attention to the rules. Random picking of people will cause displeasure to foreigners, which is okay.
But in the future when they stopped coming, there would be no place to earn the money. It was still very fast to earn money from foreigners. In addition, horses, cattle and sheep were all bought from the other party.
If the other party does not come to trade, this matter will be a bit big.
The meat in the city basically comes from the other party, so it needs to be done properly.
Lu Chensheng frowned when he heard this, "Well, if there is no evidence, just let them go, as long as they are not allowed to enter the valley."
Bai Yi nodded. There were soldiers guarding the entrance of the valley, and the inspection was quite strict. It was basically impossible for foreigners to enter.
Lu Chensheng looked around, and then went down the city wall, but just happened to see the caravan in the distance had already entered the city.
"Everyone go to the front, go to the front and pass the inspection one by one to enter the city."
Seeing the caravan, the guards at the side responded loudly, and the following heavy cavalry had already left after completing their mission.
Letting them escort them is actually training, and they have returned to the team now.
Lu Chensheng glanced back and went back to the yard to tease Yueyue.
And some people sitting in the carriage didn't know at the moment that Lu Chensheng had already walked past them.
At this moment, they are puzzled in their hearts, haven't they already entered the city?Why is it necessary to enter the city again at this moment?
This seems a little strange, and I haven't heard that in the past, they have to go to the city twice?
Chapter 398 The Moon Pearl in the Ear
"Those who are disheveled are not allowed to enter, and everyone should tidy up their clothes!"
"Here are the things that need to be paid attention to after entering the city. Take care of them, so as not to commit crimes inside and be arrested and complained!"
The officials were talking loudly at this time, while soldiers were checking the contents of the carriage.
How come there are so many rules when entering the city, and you need to tidy up your clothes?What kind of rule is this?
Some of the following boys, hearing the various rules at the moment, suddenly murmured secretly.
The rest of the people don't understand at this moment, they don't know what's going on in this city of Seoul, where do so many rules come from.
"You guys pay attention, this rule is very important, so as not to make people disgusted when you go in."
The peddler who was obviously an acquaintance heard the words, glanced over, and said something in a cold voice.
"This valley is different from where you usually are. You have to abide by the rules that you should abide by. I advise you to go and look at some basic rules now. If you do something indecent, it will be You will be fined!"
Want to pay a fine?
When the servants heard the words, their faces paled, and they hurried over to ask what the rules were.
After listening to it, his face became even more ugly.
"Miss, there are too many rules in the inner city of Seoul, why don't you go in?"
After the boy had finished listening, he immediately came back and told the lady in the car.
The woman in the carriage heard the words, and Liu Mei frowned slightly, "What are the rules, you are so flustered."
"Miss, you don't know, there are so many rules in this city, what is not allowed to litter, that is, after eating candied haws, you can't spit out the fruit pits in it, and you will be fined if you see it. This is relatively light, but there is also a fine of ten dollars!
But if you throw rubbish into the river, you will be fined!
Then in the city, you need to keep your clothes neat and tidy. If you are a farmer, you don't care too much, otherwise you will be punished.
There are too many rules like this! "
The woman sitting in the carriage heard the words, but she didn't care much on her face.
"You can bear the rules in the mansion, why can't you bear the rules here?"
Speaking of which, the rules in the house are not small, and the rules here are tolerable.
The boy felt helpless, could this be the same?
The mansion is the mansion, this is out of the mansion in the city, and there are such troubles, doesn't it make people feel uncomfortable
But depending on the situation, his young lady was determined to go in, so he could only nod aside and tidy up his clothes casually, so as not to be drunk out later.
After tidying up their clothes, a group of people entered the city together.
This side has just entered the inner city, and some women sitting in the carriage couldn't help but lift the curtain and look outside.
The carriage shook slightly, and then it felt calm instantly, and the carriage was no longer jolting.
Everyone felt the difference, and couldn't help but look down at their feet, and the flat road under their feet came into view directly.
"How was this road built, and why is it so smooth?"
Yu Wenwan on the carriage instantly felt the difference, looking at the road under the carriage, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
You know, even in the city, the carriage still feels bumpy when driving, so a lot of silk things are padded inside the carriage.
Now here, I can't feel any bumps, and I feel very comfortable.
The rest of the people who just came here also felt the flatness under their feet. They walked on the uneven road along the way. Now they have changed to such a road, but they also feel extremely comfortable.
"I don't know, but this road is too comfortable."
The servant girl who followed felt much more sensitive wearing embroidered shoes on her feet. She felt it was a kind of enjoyment to walk on such a road.
"Miss, look!"
The servant girl walked around curiously, and when she raised her head to say something, she suddenly saw the scene in front of her, opened her mouth wide in shock, and then hurriedly spoke to her young lady.
Yu Wenwan at the side heard the words and wanted to look forward, but she couldn't stick her head out, so she could only walk forward and stick out half of her body.
Immediately, the scene ahead directly came into view.
I saw a river flowing out of the many houses in front of me.
And many houses are arranged in an orderly manner, and they are scattered in front of them one by one. From a distance, it looks like a paradise-like scenery, peaceful and poetic.
What surprised her was that there were quite a few people in front of her, but everyone was wearing very nice clothes with fluttering sleeves and neat clothes.
The clothes they wear are almost the same as those of some people.
"Could it be possible that the people here are all scholars?"
This kind of dress really surprised Yu Wenwan.
She didn't quite understand why the people here were dressed differently, but such a scene also gave her a visual impact.
Women's clothes are even more beautiful.
The green silk is the cage system, and the cassia twig is the cage hook.There is a bun on the head, and moon beads in the ears.Xiangqi is the lower skirt, and Ziqi is the upper jacket.
This is roughly what Yu Wenwan saw.
The prosperity of this place has already exceeded all her imagination.
The gorgeous color of the clothes at this moment was even more unheard of by her.
"I heard before that Wudengcheng was mixed with fish and dragons, but now it looks like this. Lu Chensheng's methods are really amazing."
The old slave accompanying him suddenly sighed after seeing everything in front of him.
At a glance, all the common people are very clean and tidy in their clothes, their faces are rosy, and there is no sign of hunger in the slightest.
Based on this alone, it can be seen that the people here live quite affluently.
In fact, how things are going, you can tell a thing or two from the clothes.
There was also a hint of shock on Yu Wenwan's face, even in the Great Cang Kingdom, there were quite a few hungry yellow-faced people.
It is even more impossible to say that all of them are wearing such clothes.
This place gave her the feeling that she had no worries about food and clothing, and it formed two worlds directly with the outside.
This kind of feeling is really too scary, even the imperial capital cannot have such a scene!
The carriage continued to move forward, and the shock on Yu Wenwan's face became more and more obvious.
From a distance, this place seems to be just a small town, but in fact, the prosperity inside far exceeds her expectations.
The restaurant on the side was very busy with business, and the common people seemed to have money in their hands, so they went home to drink after drinking.
The white fine salt on the side looks even more gratifying, and the price is actually more than 100 copper coins cheaper than theirs!
When did this fine salt become so worthless?
This is fine salt, and only dignitaries can afford it!
