Chapter 51 Tour Guide
"Why wait for the three mountains to wait for the cranes? This place is Yingzhou every year.
Chang'an is right in front of you."
The gray-clothed servant who was responsible for entertaining students to visit Chang'an, took the lead with his chest and walked proudly at the front of the team, followed by students from several prefectures such as Bangzhou, Xuanzhou, and Xiangzhou.
Song Shaoyuan, Zhai Yiming and others looked up at the thick city wall in front of them, and sincerely exclaimed,
"Sir, please come with me. Our current location is Mingde Gate south of Chang'an."
The gray-clothed servant named Wu Shiqi, like a tour guide in the memory of Li Ang's other world, led the students of various prefectures to the mainland with a smile, standing in the queue leading to the city tower gate.
Chang'an's population can reach three million, and there are a large number of envoys, officials, merchants, farmers, and laborers who need to enter and exit the city every day.
It's just now that Chenchu (7 o'clock in the morning), there are long queues on the roads of the city gates, and as time goes by, the queues are still getting longer.
"The overall shape of Chang'an City is square, with three city gates open on four sides of the east, south, west and north. On the north are Guanghua Gate, Jingyao Gate, Fanglin Gate. On the east are Tonghua Gate, Chunming Gate, Yanxing Gate. On the west are Kaiyuan Gate, Jinguang Gate, Yanping Gate. On the south are Anhua Gate, Mingde Gate, and Qixia Gate.
There are six major streets connected by twelve city gates, which are the main transportation trunk lines in Chang'an City.
During the Yongchang period, the Queen of the Holy Emperor planned to open a few more gates on the city wall to alleviate the daily transportation pressure of entering and leaving Chang'an. However, this resolution was rejected by the three provinces, because the Academy optimized the procedures for entering the city, and did not have to take hundreds of soldiers to take turns to guard the city gate, carefully dismantling the package of every person entering the city..."
With Wu Shiqi's tour guide explaining, the speed of the queue gradually accelerated.
Soon, Li Ang saw the soldiers sitting behind the guardrail under Mingde's door, wearing strong and sharp soldiers, and the hunting dogs they were holding.
Those who want to enter the city, whether they are messengers, officials, merchants, or farmers, need to walk to the soldiers, and the hunting dogs carefully sniff their clothes and luggage,
If the hound does not make any noise, it can pass quickly.
If the hunting dog barks, the soldiers will stop it and open the package and check it carefully.
"Those hunting dogs were raised by the Zhong family in the sanctuary."
Wu Shiqi said with a smile: "Their family had a position as the chief of the Academy during the former Sui Dynasty, and since then, they have been raising various breeds of hunting dogs for the royal family and the Academy.
From the size of a palm, it looks like a teapot,
A blood-seeking mastiff who can give birth to a tiger or leopard who can tear tiger or leopard,
Even the dogs used by the scourge Department and local government offices to track bandits were also raised by them using special methods.
Each hunting dog bred by the Zhong family has a booklet that details the bloodline of the dog and the various training processes it has received.
For example, tracking wild animals, traveling for a long distance,
Or understand the instructions and guide the blind to go out.
Or they may sniff the scent, help the sanctuary to catch the bad guy, and help the hostess to catch the mistress’s husband’s mistress.”
Wu Shiqi curled his lips playfully and said with a smile: "I don't know how many officials and merchants are chased out of Pingkangfang every year by Fulin Dog."
The scholars present heard about where Pingkangfang is, and they all laughed "I understand, I understand" one after another.
The female students in the crowd also had their eyes shining. It seemed that they wanted to raise a omnipotent hunting dog to identify the scumbag and beat the mistress.
"However, although there are many dog-raising businesses in the world, only the Zhong family is the best. Without the household registration booklet stamped by the Zhong family, dogs are just dogs and cannot be regarded as hunting dogs.
The price of each hunting dog produced by the Zhong family is more than a thousand guan.
Those who can sniff odors for long distances are not sold products and cannot be bought by ordinary means.”
Wu Shiqi added with a smile: "Of course, you are all scholars and you will definitely be admitted to the academy. At that time, you will have a relationship with the children of the Zhong family. It will be fine to ask for a hunting dog."
"One thousand stake..."
Li Ang in the crowd tickled. His entire family is only 490 trump cards, and he can't even afford a half-price Zhong's hunting dog.
"A thousand guan can buy ten ordinary houses in Benzhou."
Chai Cuiqiao, who was standing beside him, was also shocked and said: "How many single cages of golden milk crisps can you buy, Mando-like cakes, Jushengnu, Guifei red, Brahmin light and high noodles, Yuhuang Queen Mother rice, Changsheng porridge, raw duck flower soup cake..."
"Where are you going to sign up for the dish?"
Li Ang rolled his eyes, "I didn't have enough breakfast."
"I've finished breakfast, don't I have to have lunch?"
Chai Cuiqiao said seriously: "I haven't eaten for half an hour."
"Wu Shiqi, is it so early today?"
The soldiers guarding Mingde Gate knew Wu Shiqi and asked with a smile: "Have you brought the candidates in the academy to visit Chang'an?"
"yes."
Wu Shiqi bowed his hands and smiled restrainedly, turned his back and asked Song Shaoyuan and other students from various states to go forward, took out paper documents such as (equivalent to passes) and verify their identity.
"Um?"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows in surprise. When Wu Shiqi bowed his hand just now, the skin of his arm under the cuff seemed to have a blue tattoo.
People in the gang?
Although the tour guide was sent directly to the school, not the academy, but a department under Taichang Temple that assisted the academy recruitment, a gang member was sent here...
Forget it, it’s not an important thing anyway. Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths.
Li Ang didn't think about this for too long, and followed Song Shaoyuan and others forward.
Just like the safety inspection process of traffic stations in another world, everyone untied the iron tools they carried with them in advance, especially swords and daggers, and sniffed them through the hunting dogs in turn.
When it arrived at Li Ang, the black orange hunting dog squatted on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he still shouted at the medicine box on the side of Li Ang's waist.
"Um?"
The soldiers at the city gate looked over, "Little Langjun, you are in your box..."
"Oh sorry, I almost forgot."
Li Ang opened the medicine box and showed the scalpels inside, "I'm a doctor below, and these are my medical equipment in the box."
"A knife, silver needle, and silver thread?"
A soldier curiously picked up the weird silver midwifery clamp from the medicine box, "What is this?"
"Don't move around."
The leading sergeant frowned and scolded his subordinates, "If it is not steel armor, crossbow parts, or fireworks and fuel, it can be released. The team behind is still waiting."
"Yes, the captain!"
The young soldier was so scared that he quickly put the midwifery pliers carefully back into the medicine box, and took a step back to let Li Ang and Chai Cuiqiao pass.
Very strict.
Li Ang and Chai Cui walked past the city gate. The moment they passed by the city gate, they felt a vague illusion that rain had been pouring over their bodies.
"Um?"
Li Ang looked up at the top of the city cave and saw only thick black bricks and stones.
Chang'an's city defense system seems to be not only guarding the city soldiers and guarding the sect hunting dogs...
