After walking out of the Black Forest, Zhou Qingfeng immediately realized the importance of roads. The real world is well-developed and convenient to go anywhere. However, in another world, there are only a few roads connecting cities. There may be several villages and towns that provide accommodation and supplies along the way.

Whether it is pedestrians, businessmen, or military, they must drive along the existing roads. They cannot even drink saliva when they leave the roads, and they cannot raise supplies.

The mountains and fields have complex terrain, and the speed of travel is inevitably greatly slowed down, which takes longer. If it is a large-scale march, it depends on the road, otherwise the troops will not be able to advance, so they consume more and fall into a vicious cycle.

In ancient times, wars focused on guarding cities and passes, and fighting was very rigid, which was not without reason. Many miracles of war had actions to cross mountains and ridges. It was precisely because of this that it was difficult to do that it seemed precious and could be recorded in history.

The city closest to Zhou Qingfeng is Hanfeng City. The long-legged family ruled the city and hundreds of autonomous lords around, including more than 20,000 free people, with a total population of more than 200,000.

After a long trip, I arrived at a small town before nightfall. According to Adrian's description, this is a pretty good town. There are taverns, accommodations, merchants, and some security guarantees.

But when Zhou Qingfeng rode a war horse on the muddy road in the town, what he saw was a super large shit pit. "It's really hell, why are all towns like this? I smelled the unpleasant smell from afar."

"Master, except for our Harmonious Village, the rest of the world is just like this. Even Hanfeng City is like this." Rubio followed behind and muttered, "The rustic guys outside never pay attention to cleanliness."

When Zhou Qingfeng started the "New Life Movement", forcibly promoted environmental sanitation and cracked down on urination and drowning. At the beginning, no one understood him. But in just a few months, the people in Harmony Village became more arrogant and proud of their clean villages.

A clean living environment can greatly improve the quality of life, reduce the occurrence of diseases, and give people a strong psychological advantage. In this small town, a sparse road divides the town into two halves, and there are low houses in the town.

The town probably has never been cleaned up, and domestic garbage is thrown around in front and behind the house. The street is a garbage dump, and it becomes a road after being trampled on. But as soon as it rains, the road will smell like a soak.

Several beggars with sad faces stood at the intersection outside the town, stretching out their dirty hands to ask passers-by for help. Rubio was afraid that Zhou Qingfeng would be merciful, so he quickly whispered: "Master, don't give it to me, don't look at me. They will pester you."

Zhou Qingfeng only glanced at him, and the thin beggars rushed forward. Rubio grabbed a self-defense wooden stick and waved it desperately, knocking the beggars mercilessly, cursing them to leave.

The population of the town is less than one thousand. Most of the townsmen are numb. Walking on the streets like corpses, it is dull and low, and it makes people feel depressed when they look. Walking a while to the town, you can see a tavern sign swaying in the wind from afar.

The sign was faded and broken for a long time. It was not obvious that it was originally looking, but it was just a pattern of a wine glass. There were several horse studs under the sign, and horse manure and urine were excreted outside the tavern door, emitting a pungent smell.

Adrian booked a room for Zhou Qingfeng in the tavern and waited at the entrance of the tavern. However, when the clown saw Zhou Qingfeng appearing on a horse, he said in embarrassment: "His Excellency Hugo, the accommodation conditions here are a bit bad."

"How bad is it? I've actually been in the wild, and the conditions are almost acceptable."

"I don't care. I'm used to being dirty and smelly, and fleas and bedbugs are not a problem. But a master like you is afraid you can't stand it. The stables in Harmony Village are cleaner than the rooms here."

Uncle Zhou's mouth twitched. He actually wanted to be down-to-earth and friendly, experience life, and deal with the bottom of society. But if he wanted to live in a stable, he wouldn't do it. It would be better to camp.

Zhou Qingfeng was still hesitating whether to carry forward the fine tradition of "duty, thrifty, simplicity, suffering and burden". Rubio behind him said to Adrian: "What is our master's identity? How could he live in such a place?"

Zhou Qingfeng wanted to say, 'I don't have any identity,' but Adrian opposite nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Your Excellency Hugo commands the side, and his power is stronger than the mayor, and it is indeed not suitable to live here.

I asked the tavern owner. There is a widow in this town, young and pretty, and maybe she can spend money to live in her house. I just don’t know if this will affect the reputation of Your Excellency Hugo? I dare not make a decision without authorization.”

Zhou Qingfeng said in his heart: "Just make a decision. I want to say this? It sounds strange. What does it mean to affect my reputation?"

Rubio snatched seriously again: "Adrian, your understanding is wrong. What a noble person is our Master Hugo? It's not that he doesn't spend money, so what can he do if he asks a widow to serve him? Does anyone dare to talk nonsense?

We should try our best to consider the master. So what if we take the blame when necessary? There is no need to inform you of such a thing in the future, otherwise you will ask the master to answer you. He can't say even if he wants, right?"

Adrian nodded again, saying that he really lacked consideration and responsibility.

Stop..., this is even more wrong.

Zhou Qingfeng said with anger and said decisively: "Who do you think of me? We should be gentlemen when we go out. What's the point of living in a widow's house? Isn't it just that the room in the tavern is dirty...what are you afraid of?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Qingfeng pushed open the door of the tavern with great righteousness and decided to conduct personal investigations tonight, go deep into the grassroots level, understand the people's sentiments, and see how bad the rooms in this tavern in another world are - no matter how bad they are, I will stay.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. We must be in a realistic style and get along with the people!

A real man cannot do anything about the melons and plums.

Do you know how to avoid suspicion?

We cannot tell you about those things that are stolen.

You should learn from me and see how I am an example.

After entering the tavern, within three minutes...

Uncle Zhou covered his nose and ran out with a bad look on his face. He patted Adrian on the shoulder, "You are too young and have too superficial understanding of stables. How can the stables in our village be so bad? Besides, why bother sticking to the details in life?

If you are upright, you are not afraid of shadows. Those who have accomplished great things should cherish their bodies. Just investigate and investigate things like this, just stop at the right time. As a human being, you must be happy. If you are a person, you should avoid self-abuse. After all, I am not without money, so why should I make things difficult for myself?”
