Chapter 305 Chaoge Knowledge (2)

After confirming that the city gate officials really would not collect taxes from civilians, Jiang Shang finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he entered the door, he suddenly saw the gate guard turn his head and said directly:

"That father-in-law, wait!"

"What?" Jiang Shang looked around and looked bad, his face suddenly. He felt a little guilty and was stopped at this time, and he suddenly felt a little panicked.

But Bing Ding didn't care what he thought, and walked up a few steps:

"Did you meet a robber?"

"Bandit?" Jiang Shang didn't understand why, but the soldier frowned, "Don't worry, we will provide anonymous protection for the whistleblower, so we don't have to worry about being retaliated."

"Well, I really didn't meet a robber." Jiang Shang sorted out his clothes, feeling a little embarrassed. At this time, he had already realized his mistake-

For convenience, he put all his greetings in a storage bag, without even a package on his body, and his clothes were a little messy, as if he had been robbed.

"Forget it, if my father-in-law has any difficulties, he will go to the yamen to report the case. If he can provide clues to the habitual offenders, he will also have a bounty." Seeing Jiang Shang like this, the soldier thought he would not say it, but he did not force it. He just shook his head and turned around to continue his work.

Jiang Shang was a little puzzled and walked into the city, saying, "How come these soldiers are so approachable, they are actually concerned about whether the people are thieves..."

Jiang Shang remembered it very clearly. Before he went up the mountain, although those soldiers were not arrogant, they would never be so easy to talk to.

And judging from the attitude of the soldiers around you, it is obvious that this is not an isolated case.

"It's so weird." Jiang Shang shook his head and no longer thought about what kind of generals and soldiers they would be, perhaps the guard of the city gate was a person who loved the people.

When Jiang Shang walked into the city gate, he felt a lit up. A road that was enough for eight carriages to run straight to the inner city. Wherever he saw, branches of all sizes spread out to both sides, which was almost completely different from Chaoge forty years ago.

The road is paved with cement mixed gravel, flat and wide, with one ten on each side, and the top is paved with blue bricks for people to pass through.

The original street storefront has become a small building with at least two or three floors, with various signs hanging there, which looks very prosperous at first glance.

However, compared to the various shops, what Jiang Shang cares more about was the huge wooden sign on the right side of the city gate. The wooden sign was at least three meters wide, with a roof-like spire on it, and a piece of white paper was pasted on it, which looked like a map.

"Is this Chaoge's map?" Jiang Shang walked two steps. He was proficient in military tactics and was naturally interested in this map. However, after a closer look, he was a little surprised. The map was really detailed and scary, and even the subtleties such as the clinic and the grain shop were marked.

"The writing is so detailed, it should be for those who have entered the city." Jiang Shang nodded, thinking that this approach is very considerate but a bit strange, because in his impression, the layout of a city is constantly changing. Today, this shop goes bankrupt and the mansion will expand two small buildings tomorrow. This kind of map is probably not changed every few days. The manpower and material resources here are really not cost-effective. Compared with this kind of detailed approach, why not just be a little blurred and roughly mark the block.

"Too much is not enough. This map is so complicated. It will definitely take a lot of time to re-paint it once. It's fine if you go once or twice. If this goes on for a long time, it's inevitable that you will be passive and slacking off, and it will easily lead to mistakes and omissions..."

"Swish--" Jiang Shang muttered arrogantly, but heard a sneer coming from the side.

"Why is this guy laughing? Could it be that there is something wrong with Jiang's words?" Jiang Shang turned his head, bowed his hand, and said politely to the young man.

The young man looked only fifteen or sixteen years old and was dressed very ordinary, but Jiang Shang was very polite because he understood that it was stupid to offend a local person casually.

"I dare not!" The young man heard Jiang Shang call himself Jiang, and adjusted his tone slightly. Although Jiang's surname is not all big names these days, he is still a noble surname and cannot be treated as a stupid foreigner.

But since I asked, I still have to show my pride as a Asago person:

"This map is divided by area, and each market has a dedicated person to take charge of it. If there is any change in the neighborhood, it will be replaced. It is not a painting and calligraphy. It can be drawn in less than a quarter of an hour. If even such a thing is passive and slackened, do you really think that the final month evaluation is taken to see it?"

"Monthly end evaluation?" Jiang Shang remembered the word in his heart, but did not ask too much. He bowed his hands and was considered to be taught, and then said:

"The guy seems to be a local, I wonder if I can ask for a way?"

"It's easy to say." The young man reached out and patted a wooden sign behind him and said, "I am a tour guide, and I specially take foreigners to visit Chaoge. It only costs 200 yuan a day. If you are willing to go to the store I introduced to spend, 100 yuan is enough. If you just ask for directions, 100 yuan is enough."

"Tour guide?" Jiang Shang was stunned for a moment and glanced at the signboard. It was exactly the price list mentioned by the boy before. His eyes swept to the side and found that there were many young men of similar age sitting on the side with small stools. From time to time, people got up and walked towards the caravan that had just entered the city and the people.

Jiang Shang immediately understood the other party’s work, and sighed in his heart that he could make money even when he asked for directions, but he was a little helpless. A penny was nothing, but now he was really penniless.

"No money?" Seeing his expression, the young man immediately understood. He seemed a little disgusted between his eyebrows. Jiang Shang reacted slowly and said directly: "Although I don't have money, my righteous brother Song Yiren Ju Yu Chaoge. If you know, take me there and I will ask him to give you the fee. How about it?"

When the tour guide heard Song Yiren's name, his expression immediately stretched out and waved his hand and said:

"Since it's Mr. Song's brother, let's forget about the money, I'll show you!"

"How can you be so embarrassed?" Jiang Shang looked a little ashamed, feeling that he was bullying others with his power, but the young man shook his head and said:

"If you ask me to take you to Chaoge for free, it will definitely not work, but if you just point out a way, just a matter of just saying that, Councillor Song gave us a bite of food. It's not important to have a penny. You should follow this road..."

As the young man said, he reached out and pointed at the map. As a Qi-induced monk, Jiang Shang's memory was quite good. He glanced at it, wrote down the rough ones, asked a few more words, and then bowed to thank him.

"The young man said that Brother Yi gave him a bite of food. Could it be that this tour guide is Brother Yi's family business? And what is the member he mentioned? Is it what he calls the member now?" Jiang Shang was puzzled, but he was afraid of embarrassing his brother Yi, so he didn't ask much, but just followed the path pointed out by the young man, paying attention to the pedestrians on both sides of the street while walking, trying to understand Chaoge's current changes from their words and deeds.

However, just as he focused his attention on two old men who were playing chess and talking about the government, a strange voice came from far to near, and at the same time, a scream was heard-
