The market layout of Huaizhong City is different from other cities. Although there are lanes, the walls between the lanes are not solid.
At this time, Qilu and other established countries had a very traditional urban layout with the word "well", and each "well" was called "fang", which actually means "defense".
Most of the square walls are made of rammed earth walls, surrounded by four gates. The officials who manage the square walls are often the guests and children of the local nobles.
But in Huaizhong City, the main purpose of the wall in the alleys is to prevent cats and dogs, and to open an opening on the street for selling. The inner alleys of Huaizhong City are not prohibited.
As long as you are willing to pay the corresponding protection fee, everything is easy.
Most of the elders in the lanes are warriors who have retired from the "rebel army".
If the li chief is from Chu, then the lanes under his jurisdiction are mostly from Cai, Chen, and Xi. If the li chief is from Lu, then the lanes under his jurisdiction are mostly from Qi, Song, and Wei.
If the elder is a Wu person, then most of the lanes under his jurisdiction are Chu people and Yue people...
In short, the top and bottom are definitely not aligned, and they are dog-eat-dog. It is very balanced.
As for the mode of maintaining public security, a large number of post boxes are installed. Each area has its own police station. The number of post boxes controlled by one police station can basically cover the core area.
In addition to the watchtowers with military functions, the entire Huaizhong City relies on these to ensure that curfews are not banned.
The risk of not imposing a curfew these days is actually very high. Night blindness and various transportation inconveniences make it extremely difficult to suppress someone if someone instigates rebellion.
But Commissioner Li obviously doesn't care if anyone rebels. Anyway, no matter how many rookies rebel, they can't compete with fifty crocodile men who are armed to the teeth.
In the early days, two hundred crocodiles conquered the world, but now all the "Baisha" have returned home. In addition to the south of the Yangtze River, Haiyang, Leiyi and other places in the north of the Yangtze River are Li Jie's high-quality troop source areas.
In the past, they had to worry about disobedience, but the poor people in Jiangbei who had lost everything could only survive this extremely turbulent period by relying on Li Jie.
Even though Wu Guo is still strong and strong, everything is like a person drinking water... he knows whether he is warm or cold.
Across the Yangtze River, even Huaiyi people can feel that after the change of kings, the style of Wu Kingdom has obviously changed.
Li Jie called on Huaiyi tribes such as Luyi, Zhishui, Donglu City and other Huaiyi tribes to go to Huaizhong City. All the Huaiyi teenagers who had experienced the hardships of the Crocodile People in the past two years chose to follow without hesitation.
If you stay in the north of the Yangtze River, the land is barren and you don't have to worry about food, you may die in vain due to the infighting among the big bosses of the Wu Kingdom.
Nowadays, the battles between the major families in Suzhou have become more and more cruel. Often, "fighting for water and land" or even "fighting for mulberry leaves" can be used as an excuse to start a fight.
Once action is taken, the intensity quickly escalates.
It only took half a month for it to evolve from a shrew scolding people to a battle array with 2,000 people.
Even if Taishu Mao tried his best to mediate, it could only postpone the fight, but it could not calm it down.
What's even worse is that from time to time people from Jiangyin say that Uncle Huaishui is very loyal and wouldn't it be nice to have Uncle Huaishui come to Gusu to escort us?
The more Jiangyin people remonstrated, the less Tai Shumao dared, which made Li Jie's team "helplessly" stay away from the power struggle in Gusu.
It doesn't matter if people are far away, as long as the equipment is not far away.
The processing of rhinoceros armor, the production of crossbows, and even eagle feathers and arrows, the old workshops in Jiangyin City have not stopped operating.
My uncle Shang Wuji is very happy now. He spent a lot of money on the mountains of Wu State in the past two years, and before this spring ended, he took it all back and made a huge profit.
The chaos at the mouth of the Yangtze River also forced the small and medium-sized nobles to choose to "spread their branches" to share the risks. After the separation, the small branches of various ethnic groups took the Wu Zhou to Huaizhong City.
As long as they abide by the rules set by Huaishui Bo, Wu people will enjoy much more convenience here than in their hometown.
Even if they are just doing work, most women in Wu State can weave cloth. Even if they don't go to Li's factory for training and work, they can rent a loom on their own and earn profit margins by processing silk, which is still a pretty good business.
Every day, on the pier of Huaizhong City, there are boats waiting quietly, from Chen State, Cai State, Song State, Lu State... In addition to the finest "Red Clouds and Purple Sky", ordinary "White Sand Linen Cloth"
", even ordinary white silk is also hard currency.
With a stable society, a good market, and a population with considerable spending power, there is a huge difference between Huaizhong City and large cities with distinct national borders in other countries.
Not only merchants, but also the princes themselves also like to send their lackeys to Huaizhong City for trade and then make huge profits.
The people of Qi State were setting up entertainment clubs in Biyang State, and the profits had shocked the officials of Qi State, thinking that this was an unprecedented opportunity.
However, I never expected that when there was no curfew in Huaizhong City, it would be great to work three shifts!
As long as the technicians die, the profits will continue!
As long as you can't do it to death, do it to death!
At this moment, even though he knew that "The Theory of Ai Lian" was circulated among Ji and Si and was promoted in the land of Qi and Lu, if this old guy like the Marquis of Qi really dared to launch a war against Li, Qi officials and merchants would be the first to refuse!
Even after the people of Qi saw that Li Jie, the uncle of Huaishui, was so lavish on the beautiful women he had collected, they began to use their evil thoughts to cast evil thoughts on the sister of the more than 70-year-old Qi Hou.
Although Qi Hou is over seventy years old, Qi Hou's sister, the youngest, is only eighteen.
This princess was not the biological sister of the Marquis of Qi, but it was related to the adoption between the clans, and some issues left over from the past, which led to this strange situation.
The people of Qi were very confident about this princess whose fiefdom was granted to Niushan, especially in terms of her beauty.
Some people from Qi State even said in Qufu, State of Lu, that the "Shuangbi from Hebei Province" would be eclipsed by Princess Niushan.
Seeing that Huai Shui Bo Li Jie has a crazy habit of collecting stunning beauties, Huai Shui Bo is also very kind to these stunning beauties.
I think that the barbarian princess of the Qin Kingdom, even though she is "dead", actually got married to the goddess Dangdang.
The scale of the Huaishui Goddess Temple is comparable to the palace complex in the old capital of Qi State.
The "dead" princesses are like this, but the living princesses are even more enviable. Princess Chen's "Peach Blossom Princess", half of the boats floating on the Shashui, Pushui, and Yingshui, are all under the influence of Princess Chen.
The blessing of "Peach Blossom Fairy".
In a word, if Chen Guoren wants to gain benefits from Huaizhong City, he cannot avoid Her Highness "Peach Blossom Princess"!
How could these cases one after another not make the people of Qi jealous?
The princesses of Chen and Qin could be sold for such a good price, but the princesses of Qi must have quadrupled their prices no matter what.
Besides, Uncle Huaishui robbed the Marquis of Qi's "fiancée" again. This was a mistake, and he might even get a little more compensation.
There are not a few Qi officials and businessmen who are willing to operate in this way. In addition to returning to their hometowns to lobby, some Qi people are directly looking for opportunities in Huaizhong City, hoping to meet Li Jie and sell their princess.
As long as you're willing to negotiate, the price...is easy to negotiate.
It's a pity that the people of Qi have never had any good opportunities. After all, as soon as Ai Lian said it came out, it was clear that they wanted to break up. If anyone persuades the Marquis of Qi and Li Jie at this time, saying that they can sell the stunning princess at a good price, Li Jie will definitely not care.
, but Qi Hou must be the one who proposed to blow whose head.
Later, when Li Jie went north to the State of Zheng to reap the profits of the State of Cai and the State of Zheng, the officials and merchants of the State of Qi in the south passed by Li Jie again. In winter, transportation was inconvenient, so there was no need for the officials and merchants of the State of Qi to run around.
After Li Jie went south, who would have thought that the princess of Qin would "fall into the water and die". Li Jie, who was busy completing the temple of the Huaishui Goddess, naturally could not meet the people of Qi.
As soon as the matters at the Yingwei construction site were over, the officials and merchants of Qi State were busy trying to smooth things over. They said they wanted to meet Uncle Huaishui and congratulate Uncle Huaishui for becoming a close official of the new king of Wu!
However, Li Jie had no time and was busy having sex with his wives.
Even if you don't have sex, you still have to comfort and coax some of the "obsessed" princesses.
A passionate intimacy, even if it is just to bask in the sun and enjoy the rare world between two people, it will take up a lot of time. How can you go to meet some officials and businessmen of Qi State?
My little wife has such a well-developed body. Doesn’t it feel better than listening to Qi people bragging?
No matter how unparalleled the Princess of Qi is, she is only boasted by the people of Qi. She has not even seen her. How can Commissioner Li figure it out?
Moreover, Li Jie also inquired and found out that the ancestors of the Marquis of Qi were all girl-obsessed and liked "small breasts." This made Commissioner Li have to wonder if there was something wrong with the aesthetics of the people of Qi.
When the time comes, you say that your princess is stunningly beautiful, but she turns out to be "as average as a wash", then she still has a hairy head?
The stunning beauty of Niushan is too far away, but the stunning beauty of Huaizhong City is within reach, isn't it?
Comparing the two, how could a Wu State beast like Commissioner Li sacrifice the near for the far, and why should he sacrifice the third dimension for the second dimension?
The people of Qi State were boasting so much that they could only rely on their imaginations until they saw it. An old man from Qi State gritted his teeth and made a silk portrait.
It's a pity that the "two-dimensional" painting style these days is really not in line with Commissioner Li's aesthetics. Anyway, the possibility of allowing a Wu State beast like Commissioner Li to find beauty in it is very, very low.
But Commissioner Li, who was flirting with Green Snake every day, received a letter from Yan State. The content of the letter made Commissioner Li decide at that time to meet these people from Qi State who worked tirelessly.
