Chapter 132

In the carriage.

Lu Yan and Yan Lan were a little cautious.

no way.

Shu Fu was too 'cold', whether he was joking or talking nonsense, he seemed to have little interest, and had a calmness that did not match his appearance.

sat for a while.

Shu Fu suddenly got up and said:

"I'll go outside to blow some air. If you are sleepy, you can rest. There are blankets here."

finished.

Wow~

I opened the sliding door and came out of the car. The front of such a large carriage is not as narrow as it is on TV.

On the contrary, it is very spacious.

There is a platform of several square meters, with waist-length railings on both sides, which can be used to view the scenery.

Further forward is the driver's seat.

therefore.

Not to mention standing people, two lying down are more than enough.

"I'll go too." Lu Yan also saw that Shu Fu was taking care of Yan Lan who was already drowsy.

He must have not slept well just now, and fell into the water for so long.

A scare.

No wonder I'm not tired.

then.

Yan Lan was the only one left in the car, she was not stupid, it must be because she was afraid that she would not be able to fall asleep, so she deliberately went out to talk about blowing, feeling grateful again in her heart.

Met a really nice guy today!

Feel relaxed.

Sleepiness strikes.

She lay lightly on the bench, covered with a thin quilt, and gradually fell asleep, feeling that the cushion was so soft and the quilt was so warm.

. . .

outside the car.

Due to the wide space, Shu Fu and Lu Yan sat between the two guards, their feet were not hanging in the air, because there was a forty-five-degree inclined pedal to step on.

The seat and backrest are soft.

The speed was nearly thirty kilometers per hour, and the night wind was blowing gently, which shocked people's spirits.

cool!

"Being your coachman is also a kind of enjoyment!" Lu Yan sighed.

This driving condition is really rare.

. . .

Three hours later.

dawn.

Caravans and pedestrians gradually appeared on the road, forcing the speed of the carriage to slow down. There were many villagers in the crowd, pulling vegetables, fruits and meat.

In a city with a population of tens of millions, the daily consumption is quite a lot.

Not long before.

A big city appeared in front of my eyes, and Yuancheng was surrounded by rivers. It happened that each of the four forces built a bridge as the main entrance and exit.

at the same time.

Because it was once a place of melee and an important border, all parties built military towns.

After the armistice and peace were reached, the military town gradually developed into a border town.

That is.

There are a total of five big cities in a radius of one hundred miles.

The Yuan City in the middle, plus the four border cities, can be said to be a large urban agglomeration, and the combined population of the five cities exceeds 20 million.

The degree of prosperity can be imagined.

There are many pedestrians.

There are countless merchants.

And because of the game between the four parties, Yuancheng has a very good law and order.

Involving everyone's interests, it has not become a zone of no control, but all parties govern together.

The method is simple.

First.

The Yuancheng Management Office was established. The highest official, the Changqing, and the three subordinate ministers under his command, were elected once a year, and the four parties took turns to sit.

second.

The positions of all the subordinate management departments are divided into four, of course, not one for each, but mixed together, and everyone is equally divided in the total quota.

Like a patrol.

There are eight people in total.

Then there must be two from each of the four forces,

Even the guards on duty at the gate of a department are at least four people in a group to ensure that all forces are involved at any time.

In this way.

Demonstrate fairness and mutual supervision.

In short.

The entire management model is very interesting, and because of this, groupings are greatly avoided and order is improved.

After all, if someone wants to be convenient in certain matters, at least they have to buy people from all directions, even if there is one less. Therefore, from a fair point of view, Yuancheng has done an excellent job.

Thoughts are also much more progressive and open than elsewhere.

. . .

After entering the city.

A straight road passed through the city, and Shu Fu's carriage once again attracted a lot of attention, because when everyone looked up, he stood out the most.

A lot higher.

Most of them cast envious eyes, and they can blow it for a long time when they go back.

"Wake up!"

The sound of sliding the door behind him sounded, Lu Yan turned his head, and saw Yan Lan coming out from inside. She didn't feel sleepy when she got up, and her hair was tidied.

"I'm sorry, I slept too deeply, and let the two young masters sit outside for half the night."

Yan Lan looked apologetic.

I just wanted to squint for a while, but when I woke up, it was dawn.

Seeing that neither of them were in the carriage, there was a stream of carriages and pedestrians outside the window.

"Gulu!"

Yan Lan yelled unconvincingly, her face even more flushed, Lu Yan said to find a place to eat, Shu Fu returned to the car, and opened the seat cushion.

I took out a box of pastries, which are not from the earth, but made with the materials here.

When the floor was pulled, a folding table appeared, the box was placed on it, and one person poured a glass of water.

"Eat it!"

"Then I won't be polite."

Lu Yan rubbed his hands, grabbed and gnawed.

"Well!"

"too delicious!"

"..."

The two of them ate, Lu Yan admired again and again, this is the first time I have seen this method, the mixture of various fragrances is simply a kind of enjoyment.

Although Yan Lan was reserved, she wasn't stuffing her mouth.

full!

Drink enough!

There was almost no food waste, Shu Fu put the box back under the cushion and put away the table.

The interior of the carriage regained its spaciousness, and the carriage was approaching the border.

Shu Fu sat in front of the car, looking at the majestic Xiongguan in the distance.

About one kilometer or so.

More than thirty meters high.

Tower seats.

There are many sergeants.

Although there has been no war for many years, Chen Bing's old calendar has continued. Around Yuancheng, there are four frontier fortresses, with 800,000 troops stationed all year round.

200,000 yuan per party is an agreement, no increase or decrease.

now.

Long queues formed outside the huge arches of the frontier fortress.

There are six seats in total.

Three in and three out.

But one is reserved for sergeants, so there are only two entrances and two exits, which happens to be a sidewalk and a driveway, and it is quite easy to check.

Only count people.

As for the goods, it is simply to see if there are any dangerous goods.

cost?

No.

There is no entry tax to enter, and there is no need to pay for the goods. Only when you take the goods out of the city, will you carefully count the goods and pay the tax.

In the trade related to Yuancheng, there is only this tax collection link.

Any business that takes place in the city does not need to pay taxes. This is not the case at the beginning, but the continuous evolution of Yuancheng's century-old development.

Mainly to facilitate trade.

. . .

Soon, the queue arrived at Shu Fu's carriage.

"stop!"

The carriage was stopped and a sergeant came up.

"open the door."

After taking a look at the luxurious configuration inside, he secretly complained about the extravagance, and then registered his name, gender and other basic information.

Then an ID card was issued.

from now on.

You can only get back with the card.

Anti-counterfeiting is very poor, but the purpose of the major forces is not to limit the entry and exit of individuals, but to restrict the flow of the total population, as much as possible.

Although, the identity card and registration information will be compared when passing the customs.

But such rough information is simply not enough to achieve precise discrimination.

Therefore, smuggling occurs from time to time, and the parties do not care much about it.

A very weird and interesting rule.
