There is no need to pay to enter the city. There is no entry fee in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As long as you are not carrying a large amount of carriages, horses and goods, basically no one will stop you from entering the city.

In this era, you had to pay to pass the checkpoint, which was basically equivalent to the highway toll station in later generations, and maybe even cheaper than the toll station.

There is a trading area in the city, and merchants can only conduct business in the trading area, which is the so-called "city". Entering the trading area pays business taxes.

Entering the city, there is a large pavilion no less than ten meters high in the east and south of the city. I think it should be the governor's mansion where Liu Yu lives.

Most of the other buildings in the city are single- and double-story, courtyard, single-family, and street shops with different specifications. But from a glance, the planning is very orderly.

Well, just looking at the buildings of this city, Liu Cang didn't need to brag about his knowledge of surveying and drawing after thinking about it.

As far as this layout plan is concerned, there is no need to look at those gorgeous and majestic palaces. People in this era are damned if they don't know how to draw maps.

There are many pedestrians on the street. The main road leads directly to the trading area. There are many shops on both sides of the spacious road, with vendors selling goods and pack horses carrying goods. Compared with the villages and counties of Zhuojun, it is a different world.

"Liu Shiduan is a good man. He deserves to be a member of the clan. We should imitate him." Among the three of them, Liu Bei looked at the prosperity of the city with admiration and sighed with emotion.

"This is the seat of a county, and it is also the seat of the governor's office. There is water transportation to the south, and it also collects fishery taxes. Not to mention the salt and iron matters. Such prosperity is what it deserves." Liu Cang said out of tune.

"Well, what Haoxuan said is true." Liu Bei was stunned, and Zhang Fei nodded in response.

Zhuo County is also the seat of Zhuo County. Compared with this place, it is simply a countryside. It doesn't matter whether Liu Cang is right or not, Zhang Fei feels that he cannot lose his own dignity.

"Liu Governor suppressed foreigners and kept this place from being disturbed and the people's morale was stable. He should also take credit for this prosperity, right?" Liu Bei shook his head.

"Well, then Liu Yu is quite capable." Zhang Fei seemed to think that bullying foreigners was very impressive, and nodded in agreement.

"Tsk~" Liu Cang clicked his tongue and turned his head, not wanting to pay attention to them.

"Haha, I have rarely seen Haoxuan target others, but why are you dissatisfied with Liu Yu?" Liu Bei laughed, then lowered his voice and approached Liu Cang and asked.

"Who is targeting your clan uncle?!" He raised his hand and pushed Liu Bei. Looking at Zhang Fei's strange expression, Li Cang rolled his eyes and said.

"There is Shanggu in the north, Daijun and Zhuojun in the west, Yuyang in the east, and Jizhou and Qingzhou on the south coast. They can suppress foreigners and not be disturbed? You should ask them to show off to Liu Bei." Liu Cang said to Liu Bei.

He said, not forgetting to curl his lips at Zhang Fei contemptuously.

"This..." Liu Bei was speechless for a moment. Is this statement too realistic? You also said that you are not targeting Liu Yu?

"Look again, among the people who have been working and selling since entering the city, can you see a Hu Qiang barbarian? Such prosperity has anything to do with them? On the contrary, the tax profits here will probably fall on those who are oppressed.

Have some in hand."

Liu Cang was dissatisfied, and when he defended himself, he was somewhat sincere. But Zhang Fei had some thoughts on his face, and stared for a moment, seemingly angry.

Yes, the benefits have been given to others, so what’s the point of coercion?

"Hey, who is talking nonsense here?" Liu Bei was silent, and a male voice with a somewhat deliberate tone came, and there seemed to be ridicule in the voice.

"Huh?" Liu Cang and the others looked up.

A young man in his twenties, wearing a bachelor's uniform and a mountain crown, with a beard on his jaw, led a clean draft horse and walked in front of Liu Cang and the others, with a smile on his face.

"Who are you? Someone is talking here, and it makes you feel weird!" Looking at the young man, familiarity flashed in Liu Cang's eyes. Liu Bei smiled broadly, but Zhang Fei responded with a dark face.

"Did you buy this horse?" Liu Bei wanted to greet the young man with fists in his arms, but Liu Cang suddenly made a voice and asked, pointing to the horse behind the young man.

"On rent." The young man shook his head.

"Brother, you are so poor. You are an official, a governor, and can bully the barbarians, but you can't find a horse for you and other hardworking people?" Li Cang also had a strange tone, and his face was full of sympathy.

"Haha, Brother Cang actually still remembers him as a brother." The young man laughed in the street in a rather shameless manner.

"Xianhe, are you alright?" At this time, Liu Bei quickly stepped forward to chat with the young man.

"Xuande is here, but are you here to look for me, Jian Yong?" The young man cupped his fists at Liu Bei and laughed in a flash.

"However, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much." Liu Bei said sincerely, and a black line hung on Liu Cang's forehead.

It was a bit gross, but it seemed that Jian Yong was quite useful. After some pleasantries with Liu Bei, he was led by Liu Bei to Liu Cang and Zhang Fei.

Jian Yong, Jian Xianhe, and Mr. Xianhe who will be Liu Bei's side in the future, have known Liu Bei for many years. Now Liu Cang doesn't know the specific situation. I heard that he should be a civil servant in Jixian County, right?

Jian Yong was an astute person and had met Liu Cang in his early years. Liu Cang was deeply impressed by this guy's wanton and uninhibited character. He also had a vivid memory of how Liu Cang managed his living environment in an orderly manner at a young age.

The four people present, including Zhang Fei, who was not acquainted with Jian Yong, although their expressions were different, if we had to say they had something in common, they probably all lacked etiquette in the eyes of ordinary people.

Needless to say, Zhang Fei, although he hasn't grown any hair on his face yet, even if he deliberately observes etiquette, he still speaks recklessly and goes straight.

Liu Bei's behavior was quite normal in all aspects, but from time to time he would appear after King Jing of Zhongshan, and he would obviously not be regarded as a polite person.

Liu Cang had grown up with adult thoughts in his head, and coupled with the physical age of a child, he developed a somewhat reckless temperament at some point. Under various contrasts, he naturally appeared to be a bit nondescript.

As for Jian Yong, he is also a prick, smart and smart, but he can sit and never kneel (kneel down), and he can lie down and never sit. He does whatever he feels comfortable with, ignoring other people's opinions, saying, "Others laugh at me too much."

I'm afraid his crazy paranoia is even more serious than Liu Bei's.

When these people come together and look at it from a normal perspective, no one would object if they say they are a group of problem children.

"We haven't seen each other for several years, but we can no longer call him brother Cang. What Haoxuan said before is very novel. Jian Yong should treat him as a favor." Jian Yong stepped forward, Liu Cang got off his horse, and Jian Yong looked at Liu Cang.

, I couldn’t tell whether he was joking or not, but he was quite close to Liu Cang.

"Brother, it's funny." Liu Cang said with a smile, but did not defend himself. Jian Yong gave Liu Cang a meaningful look, and then glanced at Zhang Fei, who also dismounted.

"Huh? Who hit him!" Zhang Fei had bruises on his face. As soon as he saw them clearly, Jian Yong immediately frowned and asked with anger.

Although I don’t know Zhang Fei, I know that they are friends when I get along with Liu Cang and others.

Since he is a friend and was beaten, he should help him, not to mention that he has been in Jixian the longest among them. Jian Yong obviously wanted to speak out for Zhang Fei.

"Um, brother... don't worry, brother, I touched it myself." Zhang Fei was stunned, and he realized Jian Yong's meaning in a blink of an eye, his expression was a little awkward, and when he replied to Jian Yong, his favorable impression of Jian Yong had doubled.

Well, now that Zhang Fei is young after all, at this stage, Jian Yong's attitude is like a good big brother in Zhang Fei's eyes, and he is definitely someone he can be friends with.
