"Going round and round, we're back again..."
Lu Xun sat in the bullock cart, opened the curtain and looked at the ancient city in front of him. Under the sun, mottled marks were visible on the walls of the ancient city.
Although the world has just been established recently, the land of Jizhou has not been greatly affected by the war. After all, when Jizhou was taken, Yingtian's army was already in a strong position. Even though Yingtian's army treated the local powerful at that time, it was very cruel.
Rather than being completely destroyed, more local powerful people chose to surrender and migrate obediently.
The center of Jizhou is Yucheng, which is the city in front of you.
As for the origin of this name, it comes from an emperor from ancient times, the Yu Huang.
Of course, the earliest Yucheng was not here. Over the long years and vicissitudes of life, this city was built more than a thousand years ago, but it inherited the old name.
At this moment, Lu Xun looked around and saw that a long queue had formed at the gate of Yucheng. These were all people who wanted to enter the city. The composition of the people among them was also very complicated. There were countrymen who went to visit relatives in the city, and some who brought a large number of people with them.
Merchant with goods.
Different from the old dynasty, there is no such thing as a city entry fee when entering the city in the new dynasty. However, since the imperial court was first established, in order to prevent thieves from causing trouble in the city, there are still necessary inspections.
Although they were far apart, Lu Xun could feel the murderous intent hidden in the soldiers guarding the city gate at a glance.
These soldiers are not ordinary militiamen, but regular troops transferred to local areas, and they are all elite.
However, this is also what it should be.
As for guarding the city gate, unless it is the end of the dynasty and the officialdom has been corrupted, ordinary soldiers will not be able to do so in such a place.
Even when the dynasty was in its prime, many generals had the experience of guarding city gates for a period of time.
"Emperor Yingtian does have some ideas. When a new dynasty is first established, the city is just the facade. If it is not defended by elites, it will not be enough to deter Xiaoxiao..."
"Furthermore, the army of more than three million is really too much. With so many people, if we don't start to gradually disarm, they will be eaten by horses, which will definitely drag down the government's finances and affect the development of the country."
Lu Xun thought to himself.
He was originally not very interested in history, but as he came into contact with the game of Seizing the Dragon, he had to take the initiative to study it.
Ten years in reality and ten years in the game, which add up to twenty years. After such a long period of time, he has his own set of ideas and theories.
Of course, his main focus is on martial arts training, and he only studies history incidentally. Therefore, although he has many theories, they are not profound enough. However, these theories are more than enough for talking about military affairs on paper.
"Throughout the ages, whenever a dynasty is established, the problem it faces afterwards is the army. Too few troops are not enough to deter Xiaoxiao. Too many troops, but the burden is too heavy, and it is possible to directly bring down the imperial court's finances."
"However, the new dynasty is different. The new dynasty originally started its own industrialization, and later took over part of the foundation of the previous dynasty. It can directly convert the army into industry, and just turn the army into workers."
"In addition, the remaining troops will go directly to fight against the barbarians from all directions, coerce both sides to trade, establish places similar to colonies, and obtain various raw materials at extremely low prices through the advantage of national power..."
Lu Xun thought to himself.
None of his ideas came out of thin air. For example, in the real world, a superpower has succeeded in converting the military into industry, and relied on such a model to rapidly complete the industrialization of the country.
It's just that this kind of thing is very simple on paper, but in practice, it requires not only prestige, but also faith.
Every transformation involves pain.
As for drawing blood from all directions to strengthen itself through trade, a certain superpower has been doing this for more than a hundred years.
Just as Lu Xun was thinking about it, his bicycle frame had entered the city directly from the side door. There was no queue or inspection, and the whole process was smooth.
As for why he is treated like this, the reason is very simple, because he is a stranger descended from heaven.
Emperor Yingtian's imperial edict was very simple. He called strangers from all over the world to the capital and treated them with courtesy. However, the imperial edict did not say how to treat them politely.
Although the imperial edict did not say anything, the people below could not be careless. Almost on the same day, the Ministry of Rites gave out the regulations and regulations.
Travel is provided by carriage and horse, and food and accommodation are provided according to the specifications of a seventh-grade official. In addition, considering that all foreigners are poor and destitute, each foreigner receives one thousand merit points.
Just these one thousand points, if exchanged for silver, would be enough to exchange for twenty taels of silver.
Because the new dynasty was just established, the imperial court did not directly cancel the former gold, silver, and copper coins, but issued Yingtian coins. Of course, Yingtian coins are the official term, and more people are accustomed to calling them merit points.
.
This thing was originally derived from military merit.
As for the way the imperial court recycles gold and silver, it is also simple, that is, the purchasing power of Yingtian coins is stronger, and anything of higher value can only be purchased with Yingtian coins.
Nowadays, the purchasing power of one thousand points is very high, and it is more than enough for pocket money.
Of course, for those strangers who have just come into the world, it doesn't matter whether they have money or not. The most important thing is that this imperial edict directly solves their identity problems and their food problems.
They are all strangers, and they are all illegal. Even if the household registration of the new dynasty is very good, they only need the most basic one, a clean net worth, that is, a place of birth that can be investigated, and that is enough.
But these people, who fell from the sky, how could they have any place of birth?!
When Lu Xun first traveled to this world, he only wore the clothes that impressed him most in his memory, and nothing else.
He just relied on the good physique brought by practicing martial arts in the game and went to the dock to carry bags, so as not to starve to death.
Of course, with his skills, it's not that he can't rob the rich and give to the poor, but he just doesn't bother to do so.
Naturally, Yiren are all capable people, and their knowledge is ahead of the times, but it will take time to turn this advantage into wealth.
Thinking of the embarrassment he was in when he first crossed over, Lu Xun also felt a little confused. When had he, General Lu, ever experienced such a difficult time?!
In the Dragon Capture Game, he was born into the Lu family at first and had a strong family background. Later, although due to the power of world correction and his turning to martial arts, at the peak of his life, he was just a young general in Jizhou Yucheng.
A young general is also a general.
As for the world after time travel, the huge Lu family has long been broken up and moved to various parts of China. However, even if it is not broken up, it has nothing to do with him, Lu Xun. The interpersonal relationships in the game have not been inherited.
this world.
