When the wheels rattled into a broad and flat avenue that could accommodate four carriages running parallel and lined with dense shade trees, Bai Mochen happily and proudly told Yin Ruxing: Yandu has arrived.
In Yin Ruxing's eyes, Yandu is a very strange place.
This city covers a very large area. This city has never been more beautiful. The streets are clean and the houses are neat. The mottled and old carvings on the rafters under the wooden eaves tell the long history of this city. The residents in this city
The demeanor is peaceful, the streets are very lively, and the number of commercial streets is staggering. There is a kind of prosperity that transcends the times.
"The fields around Yandu are not abundant. Most of the food needed is purchased here. Therefore, Yandu's business is the most prosperous." Seeing the curiosity and surprise on her face, Bai Mochen explained to her with a smile.
Food? Yin Ruxing frowned. He vaguely remembered that his history teacher once said that in a farming society, only when a large amount of labor is used to cultivate the fields and produce enough food can the society be stable. Without farming, there will be no stability, and without business, there will be no prosperity.
If most of Yandu's food is imported, wouldn't the prosperity of this city be built on floating boards?
Bai Mochen calmly looked into her frown and contemplation. He also said that more than two hundred years ago, when the five lands were separated and the lords of the five cities ascended the throne, he had given an order to Yandu not to build an army.
.Therefore, the security in the city is ensured by the guards of the military and horse guards."
It’s over, not only is there no food in this place, there is also no army. Yin Ruxing’s brows furrowed even more, wondering, since there can’t be an army, where did the name General Ning Zhan come from?”
Bai Mochen laughed and said, Yandu has no soldiers, but it has generals. General Ning Zhan is a general, so he was naturally raised by Yandu."
Yin Ruxing couldn't understand it more and more. Bai Mochen said no more and avoided the topic. He just vaguely said that Ruxing needs to stay here for a while to heal his injury. You will be fine as time goes by."
Yin Ruxing's originally excited mood gradually calmed down. She wavered in her plan to settle in Yandu. After thinking about it, she started laughing at herself. She was still in danger, so she started to pick and choose. She wanted to save her life first.
Regardless of its foundation, Yan is a beautiful and prosperous city. Bai Mochen's carriage even made a special detour, passing by the original location of the palace. He introduced Yin Ruxing to the most magnificent building complex in Tianyuan State so far.
If we use personification to describe it, the palace that appears in front of Yin Ruxing is like a beauty that has been ravaged and ruined. From the broken body and unyielding character, we can see the original beauty. Yes, this is a palace.
The palace had been looted and burned down. The Luo family had neither the ability nor the intention to repair it, so they just let it stand alone in the center of the bustling city.
"Cang Xi, the first generation head of the Yanduluo family, has an order that future generations are not allowed to repair or move in. However, they can be used to entertain tourists and charge a certain fee to maintain security in the surrounding area." The carriage walked around the imperial city, and Bai Mochen walked beside it.
He roughly pointed out some architectural attractions and explained them to her.
Yin Ruxing was surprised. With this family motto passed down, wouldn't the shame represented by this palace have been weighing on the hearts of the Luo family for generations? No one with a bit of shame can bear it. What does this mean?
Thinking of the dilapidated Old Summer Palace in her hometown, she frowned slightly. She somewhat understood Luo Cangxi's intention.
Only by not forgetting the national humiliation can we work hard and inspire. By swearing to abdicate humiliation, we will surely unite the hearts of the people.
It seems that the Luo family and Yandu are not as peaceful and peaceful as they appear on the surface.
The carriage did not stop in the city, but circled half of the city, exited through another city gate, and headed towards the outskirts of the city. Bai Mochen also explained that Yanliang Mountain outside the city had been said by an alchemist to be a geomantic treasure.
, there is an image of dragon veins. The capital of Yan was built on the back of a mountain, with dragons on its side. Going out from the north city gate to the middle of Yanliang Mountain is the former imperial village and summer resort. The current head of the Luo family, Yingtao, lives in the city.
I live with Fenghan in Yanliang Villa."
Yin Ruxing asked where is General Ning Zhan? He is also in the other courtyard?"
"Exactly." Bai Mochen said with a smile, "Ning Zhan likes to go into the mountains. If he is allowed to stay in a big house in the city, he will be tortured."
Back in Yandu, Bai Mochen's mood was obviously much more relaxed, and he talked more than usual. Yin Ruxing listened quietly, and his past remarks could not help but come to mind.
In Yandu, as long as Luo Fenghan is willing, he can have it.
It was clear that a person who was not the head of the family had such power and status. Yin Ruxing couldn't help but feel a little nervous about the person he was about to meet.
If you don't judge, this is another brilliant and wonderful person. I just hope that he won't be like Su Chen, who almost ended her life.
After the carriage drove up the mountain road, farmers along the way recognized them and greeted them warmly."
Bai Mochen nodded politely in response, occasionally calling a few names and saying a few words of greeting.
"Do you know all these people?" Yin Ruxing was surprised. Along the way, she had seen some well-educated aristocratic families who were polite to the farmers. But they were just observant of etiquette, and no one was really familiar with the farmers.
.
Bai Mochen smiled slightly and you'll be fine if you stay here for a long time. Yandu, especially the manor in Yanliang, is different from other places. I have some medical skills and will see the farmers in my spare time. I know them.
There are just a lot more people.”
"Are you a doctor?" Yin Ruxing was even more surprised. The outside world has never heard of this.
Bai Mochen smiled humbly. There is a regular doctor in the other village. I don't count him, he just helps people in emergencies."
Yin Ruxing was startled, and then smiled. It seems that some identities can only be exposed when they arrive in their hometown.
Not long after, the carriage passed several majestic and solid buildings and stopped in front of a courtyard with blue bricks and black tiles. On the terrazzo steps was a four-open door, with green trees inside the door and an extended path. There was a vague feeling inside.
There was a crisp bird song, gentle and clear.
"Bai La," the servant in charge of the house was waiting for them to get out of the car attentively. He had already known about it and was waiting in Xiyuan."
Bai Mochen nodded, turned around and faced Yin Ruxingdaozheng
