Ning Chen didn't care too much about what conditions Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing had reached with the old fox.
No matter what conditions are reached, Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing will only proceed from the level of Wu Dynasty.
I am determined not to make any conditions against my own Baijiacheng.
So whatever conditions they reached, theoretically, have little direct bearing on Ning Chen.
Since it has little to do with him, Ning Chen will naturally not ask again.
If you ask about something that needs to be done by yourself, it will be troublesome.
If you don't refuse, you have to take the risk.
Refuse, no matter Prince Jing or Marquis Dingguo, these two people are the ones Ning Chen can't defeat.
Especially the Marquis of Dingguo.
The Legalists of Marquis Dingguo are now also among Ning Chen's Hundred Schools.
So Ning Chen can check the situation of Legalism.
The Holy Door of Legalism is several times wider than when it was opened that day.
This proves that the strength of Marquis Dingguo is increasing day by day, and he is probably getting closer to the first rank.
Ning Chen can't even beat the second-rank Dingguo Hou, let alone the first-rank one.
Ning Chen did not tell anyone about the fact that Marquis Dingguo was about to be ranked first.
Marquis Dingguo agreed that Legalism should be included in the Hundred Schools, which showed his trust in Ning Chen.
Ning Chen will certainly not betray this trust.
Another point is that Marquis Dingguo is a friend, not an enemy.
The stronger the Marquis Dingguo is, the more secure Ning Chen's safety will be.
As the old saying goes, if the sky falls, someone big will hold it up.
Marquis Dingguo is the big one.
After sending Hu Qing away, Ning Chen also went to Baijia Academy to check on Yun Xuanzi's progress.
Just as Yun Xuanzi and Old Fox said, as long as there are formation diagrams and materials.
Yunxuanzi is not difficult to build at all.
According to the current progress, it should not take a month to complete.
Time passed like this day by day.
It has only been half a month, but Yun Xuanzi has already reached the end.
As for the post-war reconstruction of Baijia City, most of it has been completed with Guo Xin's all-out efforts.
Except there are still some places in the city that need to be renovated.
The city walls and streets have been restored to their original state.
The vitality and fireworks of Baijiacheng are all back again.
And it is more prosperous than before.
In this battle in the north, Ning Chen really showed his prestige.
It has firmly established its reputation as the safest city in the northern part of Baijia City.
A large number of people came to Baijia City, hoping to enter the city.
This made some of the refugees who were still complaining about Baijiacheng's urban rules.
They all had a sense of crisis, but at the same time they felt that they were lucky to hold on.
You must know that they have accumulated a certain amount of points from Baijiacheng.
And those who come later will have to start all over again.
Moreover, rumors have spread within Baijia City that if more people come in later, the points rules will be significantly upgraded and adjusted.
Existing registrants will still maintain the original points rules.
This directly doubled the happiness index of those who insisted on staying before.
Let them work harder and harder.
Under such a virtuous cycle, Baijia City has become the most prosperous city in the four northern states.
In addition, Baijiacheng is the cleanest and neatest city in the entire northern region.
All in all, Baijiacheng was definitely a breath of fresh air in the northern border and even the entire Wu Dynasty.
After a month-long journey by land and water, Liu Zhongzhi and Sun Feilan finally reached the boundary of Baijiacheng.
I have seen too much along the way, after the poverty and desolation in the north.
Mrs. Sun felt increasingly wise about her decision.
Looking at the people around her, Mrs. Sun's spontaneous sense of wisdom came over.
"See, you scholars are easily gullible.
How could the northern border be as poor as Ning Chen said it was?
Just watch, when they get to Baijia City, they will know how wrong they were."
Listening to his wife's show off, Sun Kejian's brows twisted into a knot.
In fact, the northern border that Sun Kejian saw along the way was too bad.
It's worse than I imagined.
In such a general environment, Sun Kejian was also shaken by the information brought back by Ning Chen and the officials who returned from Baijia City.
Sun Kejian knew the power of silver very well.
If Ning Chen really used money to bribe all the officials who came over to deceive the court, it is not impossible.
The amount of silver needed to build a hundred-family city like that is really nothing compared to the amount of silver needed to bribe officials.
Therefore, if Ning Chen really bribed officials for the sake of his own political achievements, it is still possible.
Although Ning Chen's victory over the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom was a great achievement, if Ning Chen was found to have deceived him, Sun Kejian would definitely not be able to rub sand into his eyes.
The crowd marched forward for about three miles when they were stopped by the city defense troops from Baijia City.
"This place is still dozens of miles away from Baijia City. Is it necessary to intercept it here?"
"Is it possible that there is something shady in this Baijia City, that's why we have to come so far to stop him?" Mrs. Sun continued to show off her wisdom and superiority in IQ.
Starting to intercept from such a long distance really made Sun Kejian have some doubts.
After undergoing strict interrogation and inspection, the city defense army did not refuse Sun Kejian and the others to move forward.
There was no mention of taking Sun Kejian and others to other places for questioning.
They just sent one person to follow Sun Kejian and escort them forward.
This made Sun Kejian feel relieved a little.
After walking for a while, a large rice field appeared in front of everyone.
"Is this still dozens of miles away from Baijiacheng? Are all the rice fields cultivated by Baijiacheng so far away?" Someone in the team asked in surprise to the escorting city defense troops.
The city defense army proudly said: "We have reclaimed these rice fields this year, and the area will be expanded again next year."
"With so many rice fields cultivated, are there so many people in Baijiacheng?"
"Is it takeout?"
Mrs. Sun used her own wisdom to guess.
In fact, it's not just Mrs. Sun who thinks so, there are also people in the team who think so, and some people also ask this.
The city defense troops accompanying the team said: "Our Baijia City does not sell food, and the food in our Baijia City is not enough for ourselves.
How could we sell food?
Moreover, among my hundreds of cities, there are businesses that make much more money than selling food.
All this food is eaten by ourselves in Baijiacheng."
Hearing this answer, not only some people were surprised and said: "So much food is not enough to feed Baijiacheng. How many people are there now in Baijiacheng? I heard that there were only more than a thousand people in Baijiacheng at the beginning."
The city defense troops were the old citizens of Baijia City. When they heard such questions, they couldn't hide the pride and pride on their faces.
"You are right, Baijiacheng did have only a thousand people at the beginning."
"But after the arrival of the champion, the population of our Baijia City has continued to increase."
"Especially after this great defeat of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, I heard that in this month alone, 20,000 people entered Baijia City."
"Now, there are reportedly tens of thousands of people queuing up at the back waiting to be reviewed."
Hearing this, even Sun Kejian couldn't help but ask: "How many people are there in Baijiacheng now?"
The city defense army said: "I don't know the specific number, only the city lord's palace knows this.
But I estimate that there should already be 150,000 to 60,000 people."
Sun Kejian couldn't help but be surprised when he heard what the city defense army said.
In the Wu Dynasty, only Fucheng could achieve more than 100,000 people.
But Baijiacheng is just a county town.
The population has exceeded that of Fucheng.
In the Wu Dynasty, population meant strength.
"From the looks of you, you should be from Fengjing. I heard that Fengjing is said to have a population of one million. Are there really so many people in Fengjing?" The city defense army also asked Sun Kejian a question.
Sun Kejian did not answer, but Mrs. Sun answered first: "Fengjing is the best place.
Among millions of people, it's nothing.
If it weren't for the fact that Fengjing's city residents were so difficult to obtain, there would be millions of people in Fengjing now.
Now there are thousands of people queuing up every day waiting to get the Fengjing Yellow Book."
Sun Kejian felt that it was a bit unbecoming of his wife to show off to a city defense force.
But Sun Kejian couldn't control his wife and could only watch.
After listening to Mrs. Sun's words, the city defense army sighed: "It seems that there is still a big gap between our Baijia City and Fengjing.
However, I believe that Fengjing City’s Citizen Yellow Register will definitely not be more difficult to obtain than our Baijia City’s.
After all, except for us more than a thousand old city residents, the rest of us are desperately trying to accumulate points."
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun was immediately unconvinced.
"You said that the yellow book in Baijiacheng is more difficult than that in Fengjing. How is that possible?" Mrs. Sun raised her voice.
The city defense army then explained the points rules of Baijia City to Mrs. Sun in detail.
It was also the first time that Sun Kejian really heard about the points rules of Baijiacheng.
After listening to such detailed and high-level points details, Sun Kejian was also surprised.
After Mrs. Sun heard this, she looked around at her husband and daughter.
I found that none of their family, who were from Fengjing, were qualified and settled directly in Baijiacheng.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."
"With such strict standards, you can easily get a yellow book in Fengjingdu."
"How could a remote place like Baijiacheng attract so many people with such strict standards?"
Mrs. Sun did not trust the rules told to her by the city defense army at all.
"This standard was set by our city lord himself. If you don't believe it, wait until you get to the city gate and look at the notice posted at the city gate to know whether it is true or not." The city defense army obviously has extremely high quality and has not competed with it.
Mrs. Sun had a head-on conflict.
When his wife wanted to speak, she was directly stopped by Sun Kejian.
If this argument continues, they will be wrong.
Moreover, Sun Kejian looked at the quality of Baijiacheng's defense forces and half believed the standard.
Because the distance was not short, Ning Chen specially ordered people to build a post station and an inn halfway along the way for people preparing to enter the city to rest.
The scale of the inn was very large, much larger and more luxurious than any inn they had stayed at along the way.
Although there are many inns and inns, they are already overcrowded.
Seeing so many people preparing to enter the city, Mrs. Sun felt that these people must have lost their minds.
With such strict rules, when going to Baijia City, they can only be servants.
Sun Kejian looked at the problem much more deeply than his wife.
Whether in the inn or the inn, everyone is very excited and yearning.
This excitement and yearning is obviously for the Baijia City where they are about to meet.
Sun Kejian went directly to Liu Zhongzhi and asked Liu Zhongzhi for the first time about some conditions in Baijiacheng.
Liu Zhongzhi was known to Sun Kejian.
It's just that the two of them didn't have much interaction, so they just stayed polite along the way.
"Sun Yushi." When Liu Zhongzhi saw Sun Kejian coming to visit, he quickly stood up and saluted.
"Liu Xuezheng, I am no longer a royal censor. I am a few years older than Liu Xuezheng. Liu Xuezheng can just call me Senior Brother." Sun Kejian returned the courtesy and said.
"Brother Sun." Liu Zhongzhi greeted him again.
After the two met, Sun Kejian also explained his purpose of coming.
Regarding Sun Kejian's curious questions, Liu Zhongzhi also tried his best to tell Sun Kejian what he knew.
“As for more details, I’m not sure.
We will arrive at Baijiacheng tomorrow, Senior Brother Sun can see for himself."
Just what Liu Zhongzhi said to Sun Kejian was enough to shock Sun Kejian.
If you really see it, I'm afraid you will be shocked.
After saying goodbye to Liu Zhongzhi, Sun Kejian returned to his and his wife's room.
"Madam, before entering the city tomorrow, don't mention the things we brought. Otherwise, you may be embarrassed." Sun Kejian seriously warned his wife.
Mrs. Sun saw Sun Kejian's serious face. Although she was not convinced, she still nodded and listened to Sun Kejian's words.
Early the next morning, the group set out again.
This time, before sunset, everyone saw the walls of Baijia City.
It looks like a taller, majestic city wall than the walls of many prefectural cities.
The people traveling with him were all shocked.
Even Mrs. Sun was shocked and speechless.
Mrs. Sun felt that in the entire Wu Dynasty, the only city wall that was more majestic and majestic than the city wall here was probably Fengjing.
No, to be precise, it should be the imperial palace in Fengjing.
The city wall outside Fengjing City, where they live, is not so majestic.
The city defense army stood at the city gate and said politely to everyone: "Everyone, Baijia City is ahead of us.
Although our Baijia City may not be as majestic as Fengjing, our Baijia City is definitely a safe and pure land.
You will definitely be able to live and work in peace and contentment in our Baijia City.
I wish you all the best in your future stay in our Baijia City."
It seems that this quality was specially trained.
If nothing else, this alone already dwarfs Mrs. Sun's.
Not to mention Sun Kejian.
I am a scholar after all, but my wife is so rude.
Sun Kejian felt that he must strictly restrain his wife from now on.
After spending half an hour, I finally successfully entered Baijia City before the city gate was locked.
Looking at the spacious and clean street in front of me, as well as the various shops lined up on both sides of the street.
There was also a steady flow of people on the streets.
Mrs. Sun felt as if she had suddenly returned to Fengjing's East Market.
No, this is better than Dongshi.
Mrs. Sun didn't know inside the palace, but outside the palace anyway.
He had never seen such a clean and wide street.
The layout here is really comfortable.
All houses are built in a specific order, and no one can build them randomly, let alone occupy them.
Moreover, on the streets, there are people wearing work clothes with a big word "huan" written on them, who are responsible for cleaning the streets.
There is no sight of sewage flowing across the entire street.
You must know that in Fengjing, those wealthy shops would set up their shops on both sides of the river for convenience.
As for the streets in the inner streets, it is inevitable that sewage will flow across them.
But among hundreds of cities, you can't see this at all.
This is of course Ningchen's underground pipe network system, which plays a role.
All the sewage flows through the underground pipe network into the purification tank built by Yun Xuanzi using the formation method.
After purification, it is then discharged into the river downstream.
Ning Chen really couldn't build the sewage treatment plant of later generations.
But there are magical powers in this world, which are much more effective than sewage treatment plants.
Mrs. Sun also saw that in the grocery stores facing the street, you can really buy everything.
And the price is much lower than that in Fengjing, and the quality is no different from Fengjing.
In this way, her full pride seems really superfluous.
Because carriages cost money.
Moreover, she and Sun Kejian were squeezed all the way inside the small carriage.
I won’t talk about the crime I suffered.
The most important thing is that it is embarrassing.
Mrs. Sun felt that she was lucky to have listened to her husband and not made any noise today.
Otherwise, this person will suffer even greater losses.
After entering the city, there were still people guiding us.
They need to go to the city lord's mansion to register first.
What she saw along the way from the city gate to the city lord's palace really shattered all Mrs. Sun's pride.
Mrs. Sun is like a country girl who has never seen the world. Everything she sees feels fresh and shocking.
Not only Mrs. Sun, but also Sun Kejian was also shocked by Baijiacheng.
Sun Kejian found that what he heard was really a drop in the bucket compared to what he saw with his own eyes.
Sun Kejian discovered that Ning Chen was really a capable person.
This is truly a model among models of city construction.
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Guo Xin heard that Liu Zhongzhi was here.
He quickly came out to greet him.
Liu Zhongzhi was a blessing to Guo Xin.
"Brother Liu, I should have gone out of the city to pick you up. You are really embarrassing my stupid brother by doing this." Guo Xin apologized quickly when they met.
Liu Zhongzhi didn't care about this. After a few polite words, he introduced Sun Kejian to Guo Xin.
Guo Xin also knew about Sun Kejian and knew that he was an upright censor.
Therefore, it is also good to be respectful to Sun Kejian.
After everyone was polite, Sun Feilan seized the opportunity and asked Guo Xin, "Where is brother Ning Chen."
