Chapter 120 Embarrassment [5000,(2/3)
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.
