Chen Yinggui was very worried. In order to catch up with the speed, he did not even ride the "Wan'an" ship, but instead rode a small winged ship. After a one-day sailing at full speed, the ship changed to eight waves of boatmen and finally drove smoothly into the Wei River.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Chen Yingfu was full of thoughts.

As he was about to achieve success with Li Xiuning, Chen Ying was full of Li Daozhen. He hadn't seen Li Daozhen for almost a year, and his son, Li Siye, has been around for a hundred days now. There is no photography technology in this era, and relying on portraits alone, you can't tell anything.

As Chang'an gets closer, Chen Ying doesn't know how Li Xiuning views Li Daozhen. The position of his wife is Li Xiuning, and Li Daozhen can't continue to be confused like this without a name or a share.

Chen Ying was a little impatient, but Huayin in Shentian was very frightened. When he arrived at the intersection of the Wei River and Jieyu River, the water surface became wider. At this time, there were more boats on the river surface. Especially when he arrived at the ferry of Chenjiabao, Chen Ying felt unbelievable. The dock was full of boats. Chen Ying did not hear his banner. The small winged ship finally found a space to squeeze in and dock.

In the past, the pier yard was a row of shops with blue bricks and black tiles. The shop street was three or four hundred steps long, and behind the shop was lined up with roofs. I don’t know how many courtyards were hidden. At the end of the stone street, the road paved with blue bricks stretched out to the direction of Chenjiabao in Qinglin.

Originally, there was no wharf here, and there was no grass market here. However, in just over half a year, not only did the wharf here be built, but also a grass market was formed. At this time, when the lights were in hand, the grass market was still lively. The wine shop, restaurant, clinic, cooking cake, soup cake, cooked meat shop, raw medicine shop, gold and silver shop, pawn shop, tea shop, goods store, inn, and there were even half-block doors (which were the ancient private prostitutes) and counted them carefully.

However, there are more than 300 shops. In addition to the shops and streets in front of you, you can also see alleys extending deep into the streets, and various sales stalls are filled with bustling people. There are also boats, merchants or porters who work as coolies on the wharf, craftsmen in workshops, villagers looking for jobs here in all directions. There are also women wearing red and green, shouting and the clamor of pack horses, mules and donkeys are everywhere, which is very lively.

Shentian Huayin had never seen such a prosperous place. Looking at the crowds passing by, Lin Chou was filled with goods and shops, and said in a daze: "Master, is this Chang'an City? It's so prosperous, much more prosperous than our Shentian City!"

Chen Ying burst into laughter when he heard this, and his original worries were swept away: "This is not Chang'an, it's still far from Chang'an. If you leave, you will have to walk for almost a day."

Not to mention that Huayin of Shentian was surprised, Chen Ying was actually surprised. He fought from Qinglin all the way, from Shanzhou to Henan, from Luoyang to Mingzhou, and almost traveled throughout the Central Plains. However, except for those prefectures and prefectures, he had never seen any county town so prosperous. Even the prefecture-level city of Liyang City (equivalent to a prefecture-level city in later generations), it was not as prosperous as the dock in Qinglin.

As soon as I walked to the official road, I saw Hou Mo Chenxu looking forward to it.

"Fifth Brother!" Hou Mo Chenxu bowed to Chen Yinggong and reached out to make a gesture of invitation. Hou Mo Chenxu let go, a wide four-wheeled carriage slowly stepped forward.

At this time, Chen Ying was not anxious. He smiled at Hou Mo Chenxu and said, "There has been a big change in the past six months. I am almost unable to recognize my home!"

Hou Mo Chenxu smiled and said, "That's not the fifth brother's keen eye. The Ma Zhou, who is under your disciple, is really a rare talent. During the period when you were not in Qinglin, he has been operating this place with such a scale. In time, Qinglin may be more prosperous than Wannian County!"

At this moment, a group of inexplicable dozens of men wearing black uniforms and round hats lined up in neat rows and patrolled the streets. There were tax collectors carrying large baskets and collecting taxes from house to house. Looking at Chen Ying frowned slightly, Hou Mo Chenxu explained with a smile: "According to this dynasty, the municipal tax is set to be 30, and the official market collects municipal taxes at a rate of 30, and the Qinglin also collects taxes at a rate of 30, and the taxes are also collected at a rate of 30," he said.

Thirty to one, that is, three to three percent, this tax law is definitely a conscientious tax law. Of course, this is only nominal. In addition, with tax collectors exploiting and the government's additional taxes to merchants, the actual tax burden borne by merchants in the official market is far higher than the ratio of 30 to one.

The grass market in Qinglin is not recognized by the government and belongs to a private market. The commercial tax in Qinglin can naturally fall into Chen Ying's pocket. However, long before Chen Ying came, the planning of Qinglin not only had the function of a market in later generations, but also had sanitation workers who were responsible for cleaning the street market.

Although the entire Qinglin streets are not spotless, at least they look free of stains or garbage. The reason why the grass market in Qinglin has risen is that it is located in a convenient place to collect and distribute properties from all over the country. On the other hand, the taxes that are receivable in the grass market are mainly used for the income of Qinglinli Grass Market.

In the Qinglin, there are not only sanitation workers cleaning the road surface and trimming the branches and flowers on both sides of the official road, but also responsible for all street lights along the street.

There are two lanterns hanging every thirty steps on a street, and there are hundreds or thousands of these outdoor lanterns. I don’t know how much it will cost to burn them overnight.

It is precisely because of the street light facilities that even when it comes to lights, people are still coming and going on the streets, endless.

If Qinglin was just shocked by Chen Ying, he was already scared to see Chenjiabao.

The tall and majestic city gate tower is as high as the three-story building in later generations. It looks very spectacular in the Qinglin. The 18-foot-high courtyard wall is not too high, but the key is that the Chenjiabao wall is about 16-foot-thick. In name, the courtyard wall of the outer courtyard is actually a row of houses, but Chen Ying knew that there was no such thing as a house. There were only doors and windows, and all of them were tamped cooked soil. The cooked soil was watered with glutinous rice juice and steamed, and it was as hard as iron.

The width of three feet is three feet long, as long as the courtyard wall can increase, there is no need to consider whether the foundation can bear load.

The gatehouse looked plain and plain. However, after Chen Ying looked at it, he found that there were actually six bed crossbows on it. The most amazing thing was that the six bed crossbows did not require dozens or hundreds of people to skew the strings. Just gently move the machine, and the heavy objects hanging on the pulley would fall down, and the bed crossbows would be wound instantly.

In other words, the efficiency of the six bed crossbows in front of Chenjiabao's gate is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary bed crossbows. You can use the bed crossbow as a powerful crossbow.

Hou Mo Chenxu said: "Our Hou Mo Chen has suffered a great loss, so your house is the eldest brother, who has invited Yu Wen Shu, the son of Yu Wen Kai, the former Minister of Works of the Sui Dynasty, to take the action personally. The map of the agency has been sent to the mansion. This agency takes the river water of Jieyu River as kinetic energy. Once the agency is stimulated, the entire house will be full of murderous intent!"

Chen Ying covered his head, and he felt it was really incredible. The key to this fort was that it had only been six months and had been basically completed. When entering the gate, it was the screen wall.

There were dense holes as big as copper arrows on the entire screen wall. Chen Ying knew without looking at the drawings that this extremely ordinary screen wall was actually equipped with a large number of crossbows. Once the gate was broken, within thirty steps from the gate to the front of the screen wall, it was the death place blocked by the crossbows.

Chen Ying walked up the gatehouse, stood at the gatehouse, and looked back. Then he realized that the fort was much larger than what he originally planned. It was roughly estimated that it covers at least more than 500 acres. At first glance, the 500 acres of land was not big. The key is that the cities of this era were actually not big.

If Chen Ying's fortress is converted into square, it will be about 330,000 square meters. Then the problem is, the Loulan Ancient City is only 120,000 square meters, and Chen Ying's house is 2.75 times that of Loulan Ancient City, nearly three times.

Is this still a house?
