Chapter 2 The Emperor Enters the City

Guo Tianyang widened his eyes and looked forward with an incredible expression on his face.

Then he quickly poked his head out and looked back.

Then he turned back and rubbed his eyes hard.

The road behind me is dilapidated, with soil and gravel everywhere, but the road in front of me is a smooth road!

Even a slight ups and downs are hard to see!

The black and gray pavement reflects a strange luster in the sunlight, surrounded by stone strips on both sides.

Just now, the car suddenly slammed into the junction of the old and the new.

Guo Tianyang said in shock: "How...how can there be such a way!"

The coachman looked aggrieved: "I'm coming back too..."

Guo Tianyang hurried back to the carriage: "Your Majesty, please go out and have a look!"

Emperor Jing frowned and then leaned out of the carriage.

Then he was stunned like Guo Tianyang. There was a straight road in front of him, with green crops planted on both sides.

He has never seen such a scene before!

"Ban Guo! Are you sure this is the boundary of Taoyuan County?!"

Guo Tianyang quickly took out the map again and looked carefully, then nodded vigorously.

"That's right! It's here!"

The carriage was still on the way, but it was walking very smoothly.

The cool breeze blows towards him and the refreshing scene, Emperor Jing can't help but relax.

"I didn't expect that there was such a place less than a hundred miles from the capital. It seems that I have to see Taoyuan County no matter what!"

Guo Tianyang couldn't help but agree: "Even the roads are built so uniquely, the officials here must be quite good."

After another half an hour, people began to gradually appear on the road, and they were all traveling in carriages.

There are still many farmers in the fields on both sides.

Emperor Jing nodded with satisfaction.

I didn’t expect that a mere small county could manage it so well!

It seems that the officials here are indeed very capable, but why are they unknown?

The emerald green on both sides kept passing by, and the city walls in the distance began to appear in front of the two of them little by little.

............

Wait until you get closer.

Emperor Jing, Guo Tianyang, and the coachman opened their mouths at the same time!

The so-called Taoyuan County in front of me turned out to be a strong city!

The gray-white wall tiles, the city walls that are more than ten meters high! All of them reveal four words: solid!

There are three big gold-plated characters hanging on the city gate, Taoyuan County!

Emperor Jing no longer cared about being shocked at this moment.

He suppressed his anger and said, "Guo Tianyang! Get out of here!"

Guo Tianyang was frightened, but he still gave the driver the money first, and then walked to Emperor Jing tremblingly.

"What's the use of I want you factory guards! There is such a strong city only a hundred miles away from the capital! Why no one reported it to me!" Emperor Jing shouted in a low voice, holding his anger.

Emperor Jing fought for years and saw countless small counties and cities. Never, a small county could have such a high-standard city wall.

At most it is just a fool with adobe wall, and this Taoyuan County is still an unknown small county!

This place is narrow, facing mountains and facing the capital.

If the enemy patiently opens the path, the troops stationed here can take the capital directly!

There is such a big thunder buried under the emperor's nose, who can not be angry?

Guo Tianyang was extremely flustered at this moment and quickly knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

He really doesn't know! He hasn't heard it before!

No matter how powerful the factory guards are, they will never come to this place where birds don’t poop!

People around them looked curiously at each other.

Emperor Jing sighed helplessly. He couldn't bear to blame him too much since he was a child, but... it was really useless.

"Get up, and I will settle the score with you when I go back!"

Guo Tianyang was delighted and knew that he was stable.

When Emperor Jing was less than ten years old, he followed him and knew very well what the emperor's personality was. He was basically fine to say that.

However, he still stood up slowly with tears in his eyes: "I thank you, Master."

"Let's go, come into the city!"

After saying that, the two raised their legs and walked into the city.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, he was suddenly stopped by three officials: "Please show the way guide two!"

Guo Tianyang was already ready to hand it over directly.

The official searched and handed it back and continued, "What's wrong with coming to Taoyuan County?"

"Doing business! My master is in the porcelain business, come here to take a look."

Hearing the word "business", the official censor grinned, turned his head and whispered to someone beside him, and then the man hurried into the city.

Emperor Jing didn't understand why, but he didn't ask too much. He obviously didn't want people to know.

So he spoke: "The walls of Taoyuan County are so tall and strong, it should cost a lot of money, right? Did the government raise taxes?"

Before the official in front of him could answer the official in the future, the official in the next one was happy.

"I asked! I asked! What am I saying! I'm paying for it!"

The official asked before, glanced at Emperor Jing helplessly and then took out ten cents from his arms.

Then he explained: "This city wall is actually a good thing. Didn't you see the sticky stone slabs on the outside? The patterns are all carved."

"Our county magistrate thought the earth wall was ugly, so he came up with this method, and it didn't cost much."

Guo Tianyang: "............."

Emperor Jing suddenly laughed.

So that's it! I didn't expect that the county magistrate is still a gentleman! It seems that he is too careful.

Seeing that the official officer lost money, Emperor Jing was in a good mood at this time and asked Guo Tianyang to take out a tael of silver and hand it over.

Who knew that when the official saw Yinzi's eyes changed, he said sternly: "What are you doing! Take it away! We don't promote this in Taoyuan County!"

Guo Tianyang's hand was frozen in the air, and it was neither to receive nor to accept it.

I was so amazed and laughed at the moment. I still didn’t want to collect cash? It’s so fucking weird!

Emperor Jing also showed a deep thoughtful expression. A small official had such consciousness. Taoyuan County...is really interesting.

The two of them didn't worry much, so they took back the money and walked straight into the city.

As soon as they entered the city, the two of them fell silent again...

In front of you are a large slab of stone roads, clean!

There are many buildings on both sides of the street, and there are many pedestrians.

Even there are quite a few stalls selling along the street.

Moreover, the houses on both sides look very glamorous, obviously not long after they were built.

Overall, it looks much more luxurious than the capital!

"You... Master! The road is paved with stone slabs here! It's really... rare."

Emperor Jing nodded with a serious expression.

Even if it is in the capital, it is impossible to pave the stone slabs so luxurious. At this time, most of the roads in the capital are still dirt roads.

It is particularly muddy when it rains, but the stone roads in Taoyuan County are simply endless to see at a glance!

The most important thing is that the spirit of the people on the street is completely different from that of the capital!

Everyone's face was rosy and had no cure, and there seemed to be a large number of fat people.

Even in the capital, it is far from the same place!

Emperor Jing's doubts became increasingly serious.
