In the great wave of social development, personal power can at best play a role in connecting the past and the future, and cannot influence subsequent development at all. (Wang Yu of the Literature Museum had the biggest impression when he returned to Gaotang New Town after an absence of more than half a year.
The urban area itself has not changed much. The use of large pieces of wood to quickly build houses was a military method used to build military camps in later generations. It was widely circulated in the 18th and 19th centuries. Later, it withdrew from the stage of history due to the increasing shortage of wood. It was used in this era. It's quite convenient.
The houses in the urban area have a gradual process from the inner to the outer. The innermost ones were built completely in accordance with Wang Yu's instructions, while the outer ones were built by craftsmen who understood this construction method and added their own understanding and improvements. , when the outermost circle is reached, it is basically simple wooden houses and wooden buildings with unique Chinese characteristics.
In the same city, there are completely different construction styles, and the central area is simple and the outer areas are exquisite. This feature once became the reason for ridicule by celebrities, thinking that Gaotang is worthy of being a large refugee camp. They are all so weird and out of place.
But as the famous saying of later generations said: Development is the last word. When these simple neighborhoods were flooded with a large number of new products, showing a crowded scene every day, this concept quickly disappeared and was replaced by Admiration and shock at the miracle.
Even the civil affairs officials who have been guiding the development of the new city were surprised by this, let alone bystanders. Only Wang Yu was not surprised at all. Someone has everything, and human creativity is endless. Now However, the Han Dynasty was an era when Chinese civilization was least constrained and had never been destroyed by external forces.
Because of the nature of the original refugee camp in Gaotang, those who settled here were all people with nothing. No property, no land. No future, no hope. Likewise, they had no inherent ideas.
What Wang Yu did was very simple. He showed these people a way and provided the corresponding supplies, and then everything happened naturally. Now, Wang Yu has slowly become a bystander, doing whatever he can to help. It seems that only new models of life are left.
When he was here, he was the one who led the fashion trends. After he left, the fashion trends were derived from the people on their own, which did not harm the prosperity of Gaotang in the slightest.
It's already October. But in the streets and alleys of Gaotang, you can't see the desolation of ordinary cities at all. People are still coming and going, and there are still busy cars.
Small vendors carry burdens and push carts, walking along the street, shouting loudly, attracting the attention of passers-by; restaurants and teahouses appear in patches, carrying mist with various fragrances, making people stop unconsciously. .Everywhere is filled with laughter and hope for life.
Wang Yu suddenly understood what kind of state of mind he was in when he painted the famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. If he hadn't been touched by the vigorous vitality of Bianliang City, how could the painter have such a skill and accidentally paint it? Such a masterpiece?
If every place in China was like Gaotang today, it would really be called a prosperous age.
Wang Yu, the instigator, sighed in his heart, and several new members were shocked and speechless.
This is just a little more time? How could there be such an unexpected change?
Zhang Liao had never been to Gaotang before. He only knew this place as the capital of Qingzhou, and Lu Bu's army once made a plan to raid here.
But he has visited many county towns similar to Gaotang - there are many such county towns in Luoyang and Dongjun. Due to geographical convenience, they developed from a ferry to a market and finally became a county town. However,
Even if he added up the relatively large and famous ferry cities he had seen, they still couldn't seem to reach the scale of Gaotang.
When he looked at it from a distance, he just thought it was big, but had no real sense of it. When he entered the city, he realized what a huge thing it was - walking all the way from the edge of the city, when he saw the ruins of the ancient city wall of Gaotang
, almost an hour has passed!
Although there were too many people in the market, and Wang Yu did not act like a hussar general and used whips to disperse the crowds, so the march was not fast, but the city was so big and popular that Zhang Liao was still able to stay.
Very deep impression.
It was still winter. What would it be like if we waited until midsummer, when the products were at their most abundant? Zhang Liao couldn't imagine it, and he had no time to think about it.
When Chen Gong proposed the plan, he was opposed to it. Now, there is one more reason to oppose it. Taking risks for personal ambitions and destroying such a city is no longer a matter of unjust war in the Spring and Autumn Period, but a problem for the entire
Crimes committed by Zhongyuan!
Although Chen Gong was very wise, Zhang Liao did not believe that the other party could rebuild and maintain such a city. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, how could he have imagined that the famous Gaotang was actually better than the rumors said?
Do you want to surprise people?
Zhang Liao's heart was filled with ups and downs, while Lu Qiling was so confused that she didn't even know where she was.
The rows of shops and teahouses only surprised her; the dazzling array of ready-made clothes and silk fabrics only made her take a few more glances; the aroma of fresh food made her swallow a few times, but it really made her stop.
The only thing that makes you slow down and get carried away are those very interesting promotional methods.
For example, the store where she stayed the longest and made Zhang Liao urge her several times before reluctantly leaving. That store was considered a grocery store. In Gaotang, it was called a department store. The owner was very creative at the door.
A shooting range was set up in front of the store, and passers-by were encouraged to enter the store to participate, shoot with bows and arrows, and win various prizes based on the final results.
With Lu Qiling's perspective, she would not forget this small advantage. What made her find interesting was the feeling of competition and luck merging into one.
Of course, she was lucky, but the boss was unlucky. The Qingzhou Army had many sharpshooters, but those people had already seen these new tricks. If they wanted to win the lottery, they would not win on the street. But Lu Qiling went out for the first time and saw
Everything is fresh, and my archery skills are as good as those of a hundred steps, and I can fire arrows in succession, which almost made the boss Ying Ying cry.
When being pulled away by Zhang Liao, Lu Qiling saw her boss's expression and felt funny again. She waved her hand and said she didn't want the things, and made her boss feel grateful. Then she continued on her way with great satisfaction, feeling full of accomplishment.
My impression of Gaotang couldn't be better.
She didn't think much about it, but Zhang Liao paid attention. He found that there were many similar places in Gaotang City. Some were for bows and arrows, some for wrestling, and wrestling. He even saw someone wearing special protective gear and competing with equipment.
!
Zhang Liao wouldn't care if they were flailing randomly. The problem was that he found that as long as those who dared to leave the field, their movements had some rules. These people may not look so strong, but they are very powerful, which makes people doubt. They are
Not from the military.
However, if the soldiers of the Hussars do not drill in broad daylight, but come out to hang out and play, the reputation of the world's strongest soldier will inevitably be...
"Lieutenants in the army will not participate in this kind of game. Every once in a while, there will be a competition in the army. If you lose the palace competition in the army and make money in outside games, you will definitely be laughed at by your colleagues.
.In the words of my lord, the competition between professionals and amateurs. If you lose by seven points without taking action, if you win, there will be no glory, if you lose, you will lose face. Only fools would do this."
Seeing Zhang Liao's doubts, Zhao Yun took on the responsibility of tour guide.
"Then these people are..." Zhang Liao's eyes flashed as he thought of a rumor.
"They are ordinary people." Zhao Yun confirmed Zhang Liao's suspicion. "They are people in peacetime, but they can also become soldiers in wartime. In the Qingzhou New Deal, martial arts are the same purposes as farming, recruiting soldiers, etc., and there is a trend of martial arts among the people.
, if a crisis comes, we will not have to let the enemy slaughter us. When Yuan Zhi defeated Zang Ba at Yuanshan, he commanded tens of thousands of militiamen who had assembled temporarily."
"What a martial spirit." Zhang Liao finally knew that Wang Yu dared to let Qingzhou go empty as his last trump card.
Having gone through a process from something to nothing, and then from nothing to something, the people of Qingzhou are definitely not willing to repeat that process. What's more, the life they are enjoying now is something they could not even imagine before, and they are determined to defend their homeland.
There is no doubt about it.
With such a mentality, they accepted the military training exercises conducted by the General Mansion four times a month and were armed with martial arts. If someone really broke through the Qingzhou Army's defense line and came to the door of their homeland, how would they respond?
Faced with the sudden appearance of the militia army, can the so-called light force attack really break through Gaotang City without city walls? You know, this is a big city with a population of 100,000 households. If all the people are soldiers, it will be more than 100,000 militiamen.
!
Zhang Liao was deeply suspicious.
Of course, Qingzhou's military strategy is not without its drawbacks. After thinking about it, Zhang Liao stepped forward and lowered his voice and asked: "This method is certainly beneficial to resisting foreign enemies, but aren't you worried that someone will incite the people to rebel?"
Since the emergence of the concept of the gentry, the Chinese dynasty has always been more protective of internal affairs than external ones. After Dong Zhongshu staged the drama of deposing hundreds of families in order to cater to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the concept of the distinction between gentry and common people began to be more controlled internally.
Various means have also begun to climb to new peaks.
From what Zhang Liao saw along the way, the ownership rate of weapons among the people in Gaotang was almost universal in every household. Not only did they have relatively common weapons such as swords, guns and swords, but also serial swords, long halberds and horse spears, and strong military bows.
Weapons are common.
The only thing I haven't seen is the crossbow. However, the crossbow is not popular. It is probably not because the law does not allow it, but because the price of the sharp weapon is too expensive and too rare, so it does not meet the conditions for popularization.
If the people had such conditions when Zhang Jiao's uprising occurred, let alone Huangfu Song, even if they pulled out all twenty-eight generals of Emperor Guangwu's Yuntai, they might not be able to suppress it. The millions of Yellow Turbans back then were just a mob.
They are completely different things from the Qingzhou militia.
"There's nothing to worry about." Zhang Liao asked solemnly, but Zhao Yun answered calmly: "If the ruler implements tyranny, even if the people are ill-informed and only have bamboo poles and wooden sticks in their hands, they can still overthrow the ruler's cavalry; on the contrary
, even if the people have strong bows and crossbows in their hands, how can they turn around and aim behind them?"
"There are scales in people's hearts, and everyone knows what is good and what is bad. There are still few people studying now, and there may be some who are unreasonable, but in the future... maybe twenty or thirty years will be enough, as long as the New Deal continues to be implemented
, the people’s wisdom will be opened, and then will there be any need to be so careful to guard against our own people?”
Zhao Yun raised his eyes and looked into the distance, sighing leisurely: "My lord has a broad mind. His eyes are always staring at the vast sea and sky outside."

I hope that friends who are qualified to celebrate the festival will lose their qualifications as soon as possible, and friends who are not qualified to celebrate the festival will never be qualified. If you are really unable to get rid of it, you can think of Xiaoyu - an old bachelor in his thirties who will always stand with you.
