Chapter 50, Huazhongjin Official City (1)

My personal favorite city is Chengdu! Since I visited, Xiaofei has always wanted to settle there when he retires in the future. Haha, but unfortunately the housing prices there are so expensive.

~~~~~~~~

These days, the villagers around have been grateful to Lei Dongfeng for opening the warehouse and releasing grain, killing Wuge, and many young and strong people have come to join the army one after another.

The people in Sichuan are strong in style, and most of them are running around the mountains all year round, good at fighting in the field, and are born experts in mountain warfare.

Although Lei Dongfeng is short of military capital, he is afraid of hurting the people's hearts. He is not like missing out on these elite infantry soldiers. As long as he passes the inspection, he will basically all be admitted to the army.

As a result, food consumption is increasing.

Originally, Lei Dongfeng thought that he would have a way of wealth by taking over Ugo's horse gang, but he didn't expect that as soon as Ugo died, news from all over the country showed that the leaders of his strongholds in various places were independent and did not obey the commands at all.

Most of the rich tyrants around were supporters of Wugo, and they were wiped out by Jing Zhan and Li Yan on behalf of others, so that there were no customers who needed the service of the horse gang.

The local tyrants can be killed, but it is difficult for the scattered horse gang strongholds in various places to recover by simple force.

The people around were very cooperative with these Han soldiers, but these people were plundered and squeezed by Ugo for many years and had not much surplus food to sell.

For a time, Lei Dongfengkong had more than a thousand people's horse gangs and more than 200,000 gold coins he had accumulated, but he didn't know what he could get or what he could transport.

"Sir, we must find a way to solve this problem, otherwise no matter how many gold coins we have, we will not be able to exchange for food and medicine, and we will starve to death sooner or later." Musa and frowned.

"Captain Lei, do you dare to go to Chengdu Prefecture?" Li Ruoxi looked at Lei Dongfeng.

"Chengdu Prefecture, you can buy food and medicine when you go there, and I am just about to visit Liu Renze, but you are now in charge and have won the Dasan Pass again, which is not helpful." Jiang Zhuying hurriedly said.

"I'm afraid there is food and medicine, so Liu Renze is worried and refuses to sell it." Li Ruoxi said again.

"What are your concerns?" Lei Dongfeng asked.

"Aren't he afraid of the second and Ugo again?" Li Ruoxi said coldly.

"Then you still ask me to go to Chengdu Prefecture!" Lei Dongfeng was a little angry.

"The current plan is that if we don't go to Chengdu Prefecture, our army can only transport grain from Shaanxi Road, but the situation there is unclear, and the mountains are high and the road is dangerous, which is extremely unprofitable. If we go to Chengdu Prefecture, the largest transit station of the Ugo Ma Gang is said to be located in Chengdu Prefecture, and there are also medicine shops, Imperial Hospitals, and Ordnance Camps in Chengdu Prefecture. Which of these are not urgently needed by our army?" Li Ruoxi sneered and continued.

"And, this matter cannot be done by his own hands. Now, you are the chief general of our army, and you are the one who issued the order at Dasan Pass. Then Liu Renze cannot not know that he has not made any movement, just observing you and waiting for you to take the move first. Therefore, when you go to Chengdu this time, the adults can sneak away. If you have the chance, you still have to interview Liu Renze to act. This time, you may not be successful; if you don't go, you will be trapped in this! What should you do, you can choose your own choice." Li Ruoxi opened his mouth and said in a speechless manner.

"Girl, be polite to my elder brother. If you have a temper, your elder brother won't be surprised." Li Yan couldn't stand it and shouted.

"It's okay, Ruoxi's words have won my heart." Lei Dongfeng smiled helplessly. All the whole army admired him, Lei Dongfeng's decisive and determined and led the way.

But it was Li Ruoxi who saw her like she met an enemy, but she was still the sister of her own sworn brothers, and she made great contributions to the entire team.

The most important thing is that Xiao Lei is actually very guilty about that matter.

A girl who is just sixteen years old has to hide and wait for her.

"Master Lei, you can go once. The organization I have been to has a big industry in Chengdu. If you can get it, it will be of great benefit to you. Moreover, some of the weapons you seized are not available at all. It would be better to sell them through them, and it would be more thanks to military resources." Roland smiled. Over the days, under the infection of Xiao Lei's people, she has eliminated a lot of fear of the original organization. This was originally a woman who likes to gambling. Otherwise, she would not have violated the organization's principles on the same day and provided information to Lei Dongfeng and others for the Sand Thieves Alliance. Later, she took action to rescue Lei Dongfeng and others. After seeing Lei Dongfeng's methods and the hidden strength of the people around him, this woman wanted to take a try.

Lei Dongfeng scratched his head and made up his mind to say, "Go, I will go to Chengdu Prefecture tomorrow!"

In early March 999, the Imperial Era was already in the middle of Sichuan, especially around Chengdu Prefecture, starting from Longquan Post outside the city, peach blossoms everywhere, reflecting red in red.

Chengdu Prefecture has the name of "the country of Tianfu", "the south of the river in Shu", and "Suzhou and Hangzhou in Shu". The history of Chengdu Prefecture can be traced to the 5th century BC. During the ninth century of the ancient Shu Kingdom, the capital was moved from Fanxiang, Guangdu (now Shuangliu County) to Chengdu to build a city. According to the "Taiping Huanyu Ji", a Chengdu one was named after the King of Zhou moved to Qi. "In one year, he lived in the first place, and founded in the second year, and found in the third year" and hence the name of Chengdu.

The Qin State annexed Bashu in BC. The Qin people built city walls according to the Xianyang system. In the BC, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty established 13 prefectures in the country and established Yizhou prefectures in Chengdu, which was in charge of Ba, Shu, Guanghan and Jian. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chengdu replaced the Central Plains at the beginning of the Han Dynasty and was called "Tianfu". At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Gongsun Shu became emperor and established Chengdu as "Chengjia". At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yan became the "Governor of Yizhou" and moved to Chengdu, using Chengdu as the prefecture, county, and county seat.

Later, Taizu Cheng Yun established the country, and the governor of Yizhou Liu Yan requested surrender. Taizu withdrew from prefectures and counties to establish a provincial government), and Chengdu was the capital of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces. It took a thousand years to complete - Chengdu Prefecture.

Although Chengdu Prefecture is located in the southwest of the empire and has difficulty walking on mountain roads, its economy is very developed. Especially the wealthy merchants in Sichuan have been imperial merchants for many generations, and they are rich enough to rival the country. Chengdu Prefecture's brocade weaving industry is particularly developed, with "jinguan", so it is known as "jinguan City". Other handicraft industries such as nest silk, silk weaving, salt boiling, iron smelting, weapons, gold and silver ware, lacquerware and other handicraft industries are also very developed.

Moreover, Chengdu Prefecture has a large population, reaching 76,000 households and nearly 400,000 during the Western Han Dynasty, and has become one of the six major metropolises in the country (Chang'an, Luoyang, Handan, Lintao, Wan, and Chengdu).

Later, Taizu led mainland residents to enter Sichuan and Chongqing Road to reclaim them to assimilate local people. Although the results were not good, the population had surged after thousands of years.

By the time Lei Dongfeng arrived, Chengdu Prefecture had more than 300,000 residents and a population of more than 2 million. It is the fourth largest city in the country after the imperial capital, Zhongdu Longyang and Dongdu Zhenhai.

The city scope has been expanded to an astonishing seventy miles.

The circumference is seventy miles long, and the city walls made by all local rocks make Chengdu Prefecture look so majestic.
