"Thank you for the compliment, uncle." Xiaoya smiled sweetly. Everyone doesn't like others to praise themselves, and Xiaoya is no exception.
"Still uncle!" Chang Sheng couldn't help but wailed in his heart, and touched the tip of his nose out of habit. He laughed dryly and said, "Miss Xiaoya, I would like to ask, where is the place inside the city wall at the end of this street?"
"Is this your first time coming to the City of Freedom, uncle?" Xiaoya asked a little strangely.
"It seems that the title of uncle cannot be changed." Chang Sheng thought speechlessly.[
Then he nodded and said: "Yes, this is my first time in the City of Freedom. I just looked at the City of Freedom outside, and found that there is a city wall at the end of the street. And the height of this wall is not as high as the City of Freedom.
The city is so high. I just happened to be feeling unwell, so I came here to stay. I have the question just now, and I would like to ask Miss Xiaoya to answer it."
Xiaoya nodded to express her understanding, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, you don't know that the City of Freedom is divided into two parts: an inner city and an outer city. The outer city wraps up the inner city."
"Oh? So what's the difference between the inner and outer city?" Chang Sheng remembered that the map slip in his hand didn't seem to record any relevant information.
"Of course there are differences. The outer city is divided into four districts, and each district has various shops and residences. But these are used by cultivators below the soul-raising stage. The inner city is used by cultivators above the soul-raising stage.
Moreover, the city lord, the four major families and the casual cultivator alliance all live in the inner city. I heard that the items sold in the shops in the inner city are very luxurious. They are items that ordinary cultivators cannot afford!
"Xiaoya introduced her with all her treasures.
"Oh! How long has this inner city been established? Why haven't I heard of it before? Although I have never been to the Free City, some of my friends have been." Chang Sheng remembered the map in the jade slip,
These were not introduced, so I asked this question.
"That's it! This inner city has only been established for less than a year. Of course, some places where news does not flow will not know about it. But I heard that the response has been very good. In the past, those ascetics who were above the soul-raising stage were too good at bullying others.
Okay. Although the use of force is not allowed in the city, these strong men always bully some lowly cultivators."
"It's different now. There is a special place to entertain these people in the inner city. Therefore, in the past year, these ascetics who are above the soul-raising period have never stayed in the outer city. And the ascetics in the outer city have not been affected by it again.
With some bullying, my life has become much better." Xiaoya said so much in one breath, but she didn't feel out of breath at all. Instead, she was in high spirits. It seems that this girl is very gossipy!
Chang Sheng nodded and said to himself: "That's it! It seems that the city lord has seen the hidden dangers in this. After all, wherever there are people, there will be distinctions between high and low, and everyone who can cultivate to the soul cultivation stage and above
Almost all of them are people with extraordinary talents. Who can be without a little arrogance? If you are arrogant, there will be disputes, quarrels, and even grudges."
"But in this way, the middle and lower classes living in the Free City will be oppressed, causing complaints, and eventually even the people will flee. The prosperity of a city cannot be determined by a small group of strong people.
If we do, we cannot become prosperous and strong without the foundation of the people. This sentence is most appropriate for the monastic world, so in order to prevent the people from being disappointed, the only way to solve the problem is to solve the problem at its root."
"The establishment of the inner city not only allows these strong men above the soul-raising stage to have a regular place for communication and transactions. It also allows the middle- and lower-class cultivators to have an environment where they can live quietly. Only by living in peace can they work happily.
! It seems that this city lord is not a simple person!"
Xiaoya saw that Chang Sheng seemed to be thinking about something, so she didn't say anything to disturb him. However, every time she thought of the scene just now, her pretty face could not help but turn red.
Although Chang Sheng was thinking about something, he noticed from the corner of his eye Xiaoya's little girlish look. That shy look made Chang Sheng's mouth feel a little dry, and he laughed and said: "I know, thank you Miss Xiaoya."
Tell me."
"You're welcome. Anyone outside can find out about this. Uncle, please rest first. I have to go downstairs to entertain the guests!" Xiaoya said shyly.
"Okay! Then go and do your work. I'll come downstairs to find you if I need anything." Chang Sheng said gently.
