The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 270: The New Land Outside the Great Wall

"Boom!"

The deafening sound of horse hooves rang out, and the wide road was filled with dust, like a flying sandstorm, sweeping over.

The golden fire cavalrymen in gorgeous armor surrounded a huge warm carriage, the black flags hanging on the carriage fluttered in the wind, and the copper bells on the carriage rang crisply and pleasantly.

"General Meng, how long will it take to reach Jinzhou City?"

Pulling aside the peach-colored curtain, Ying Yinman, dressed in a palace dress and with tassels on her head, asked in a soft voice.

Starting from Xianyang City, they stopped and walked along the way, covering tens of thousands of miles, passing through the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties. The delegation of more than 10,000 people made the arduous journey, sleeping in the open air.

"Your Highness, according to the distance, it will take another half an hour."

Meng Yi, who was holding the reins on one side, turned around and spoke respectfully.

For the sake of Ying Yinman's safety, the First Emperor Ying Zheng ordered Meng Yi to lead 8,000 golden fire cavalry to escort her all the way. With the addition of the shadow guards and royal servants who followed her closely, there would be no chance of error.

"Squeak!"

Six dragon horses pulled the cool carriage along the loess road. The deep ruts spread to the horizon. After traveling for hundreds of miles, a towering city appeared before everyone.

It is boundless, like a winding mountain range blocking the delegation's path. The towering mountains are so awe-inspiring that it makes people look sideways.

"The sun sets over the city walls, and the warriors draw their swords and swear to defend the border."

As the sun sets, the three-meter-high city gate stands between heaven and earth. On the blue-gray city wall, the three large characters "Jinzhou City" are written in iron and silver, exuding a murderous aura that makes people shudder.

Whenever someone with evil intentions sees these three words, it is like seeing the face of God. The huge sense of oppression is enough to make the person mentally collapse and become a fool.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at Jinzhou City!"

Knocking lightly on the window frame, General Meng Yi bowed and said expressionlessly.

With the help of her maid, Ying Yinman stepped down from the carriage step by step and looked at the Jinzhou City in front of her. She saw that the towering city was like a giant beast crawling on the vast land.

"Greetings, Princess Yangzi. I am Li Bai, the head of the Ministry of Rites in Qingdi City."

At this moment, Li Bai, wearing a green round-necked official uniform and a black gauze hat with spread wings, walked over, shook his sleeves and bowed.

The fall of the Qing Dynasty by Qingdi City caused a huge response, and countless depressed and frustrated talents poured into Qingdi City like a tide.

Under the influence of Gao Shi, the poet Li Bai also came to Qingdi City. After three tests, combined with his fame in history, he was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Rites by Shen Yuanliang.

"If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and rush to the sea never to return."

Reciting the poem from "Song of the Wine", Ying Yinman looked at the high-spirited seventh-rank official of the Ministry of Rites in front of her and asked, "You speak like half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, are you the immortal poet Li Bai?"

"I am the humble one."

Placing his hands flat on his chest, Li Bai bowed again.

Whether it is to investigate the battle in Shengjing City or for the Treasure Pavilion auction in half a month, Jinzhou City is the first stop for most people.

Later, under the leadership of Li Bai, the delegation from the State of Qin slowly drove into Jinzhou City, and a prosperous and lively scene appeared before people, with people bustling and jostling each other.

"Your Highness, Jinzhou City is currently being rebuilt. When it is completed, the city will be a hundred feet high, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles in radius, and can accommodate a million people." "According to the Lord's plan, Jinzhou City will be a trading city in the future. Whether it is Mongolians, Turks, or the people of the Ming Dynasty, they can all come here to trade."

Riding on a tall horse, the unruly Li Bai pushed aside the silver wine jug, took a sip of the wine, and introduced the current situation of Jinzhou City with a dazed look.

Jinzhou City is a border city, sandwiched between the Mongol Empire and the Ming Dynasty. It has a very advantageous geographical location and is very suitable for trade. As for the threat of war, who would dare to offend the Green Emperor Shen Yuanliang?

"As expected of a construction maniac, Jinzhou City was built in just over half a month."

An old man with a hunched back and thinning hair looked at the busy construction site not far away, stroked his beard, and spoke thoughtfully.

As the head of the Gongshu family and the new generation leader of the domineering mechanical arts, Gongshu Chou has extraordinary eyesight. He saw countless machines carrying various materials on the busy construction site.

There were even other instruments that he had never seen before, which made Gongshu Chou very excited and he wanted to compete with them.

"It's nothing."

Li Bai waved his hand and laughed, saying proudly: "The Lord City Lord is planning to build 72 main cities! Jinzhou City is just one of them."

"Seventy-two cities? Build them at the same time?"

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Chou was stunned. He tore off his few remaining beards and looked blank.

It was known before that Qingdi City was either on the road to war or on the road to building a city. Countless laborers shed sweat, building the city brick by brick, all over the Liaodong Peninsula.

Hundreds of cities and passes of all sizes stood between heaven and earth, allowing Shen Yuanliang's forces to be firmly rooted in the Liaodong Peninsula and withstand countless storms.

Unexpectedly, Qingdi City is even crazier now. Seventy-two cities are being built at the same time, and it is a main city like Jinzhou City. It is really incredible.

"The Zhu Po Long ran away, causing the Hun River to flood, and tens of millions of people were affected. The city lord used work in lieu of relief, which is just right for repairing the city, killing two birds with one stone."

Speaking of work-for-relief, Li Bai's admiration for Shen Yuanliang is as endless as a surging river.

Earning enough food to survive with one's own hands and allowing countless disaster victims to survive, rather than secretly "reducing the population", is a great merit and great compassion.

"Wow!"

Like a string of wind chimes floating in the air, or like a whistle blown by a shepherd boy, a long cry resounded through the clouds, and a Saker Falcon with a wingspan of dozens of feet flew by.

His sharp eyes scanned the vast land, reflecting countless figures busy at work.

Along the Hunhe River, Liaohe River and Taizihe River, dozens of main cities rose from the ground, countless chimneys billowed with thick smoke, and hot charcoal fires roasted the clay embryos in the furnaces.

"Zhao Si, hurry up, kiln No. 34 is waiting for the clay embryos!"

On the black soil, the thick mud was lifted up, and the exposed clay was white and very fine. Liu Neng, who was much stronger in build, was wearing a straw hat, carrying a basket, and urged.

"I'm busy right now, am I not?"

Shoveling the clay, Zhao Si grabbed a white towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said unhappily.

After surrendering, Liu Neng, Zhao Si and others took one or two taels of silver for travel expenses and went home happily. However, faced with their impoverished families, they came out again after having seen the world.

Together with countless disaster victims, I built the city. I was provided with rice every day, and every two or three days I would have a meat meal, which was fish, salty and fragrant!
For a time, the entire area outside the Great Wall was like a large construction site. Countless disaster victims and poor people found jobs here, and the scene was full of vitality.
