Chapter 1083: What is Great Qin doing? The nobility has to yield to commoners?

Changancheng is prosperous.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, for over a thousand years, it has always been prosperous.

When Changancheng was still the capital of Great Tang, Old Li once thought that was the most prosperous era in Changancheng's history.

But now!

Every time he came to Changancheng, he couldn't help but marvel.

"How could Qin Mu develop Changancheng so fast?"

On the streets, the 110 wards of Changancheng were divided into blocks.

Block by block, they were being renovated one by one.

During the Great Tang era, each ward was like a small city with ward gates.

During the curfew, at night, the ward gates had to be locked, and no entry or exit was allowed.

But now, all the wards had been opened.

There was no curfew.

One could enter and exit at will at any time.

The outer perimeters of each ward had also been built into shops.

Changancheng seemed to be ten times more prosperous than in the Great Tang era!

This made Old Li feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Minister Fang, do you think Changancheng, built like this, is safe?" Old Li deliberately wanted to pick some faults so he could feel better.

However, Fang Xuanling didn't seem to understand Old Li's meaning.

He scanned the surroundings on the street.

"I think this is very good; commoners are strolling around, and it looks like it has a very rich atmosphere of life.

Unlike before, the outside of the wards was bare, with no shops and not many people."

Old Li saw that Fang Xuanling didn't follow his meaning and was a bit angry.

"You only see the prosperity; have you thought about safety?

If there were another foreign invasion, wouldn't we have to use the wards as cities and resist step by step?"

This was the reason for building wards in the city in the past.

110 wards, each ward was a small city; the defensive effect could be imagined.

Fang Xuanling sighed and said.

"Old Li, look at Great Qin now; is there anyone who can fight their way into Changancheng?

Besides, in the past, Changancheng was as solid as a rock, but couldn't it still not prevent the change of dynasties?

We should also accept new ideas more."

This made Old Li so angry that he couldn't vent his frustration.

Angry as he was, Old Li was just a bit willful.

But he took Fang Xuanling's words to heart.

He wanted to stroll around Changancheng more and record all the secrets of Great Qin's development.

He didn't believe Great Tang couldn't develop.

Old Li and Fang Xuanling walked aimlessly on the street.

The streets were prosperous, with people and carriages coming and going.

With more people and carriages, it was easy for some bumps and scrapes to occur.

Ahead, an accident occurred where a carriage scraped a pedestrian.

Old Li immediately pulled Fang Xuanling over to watch the excitement.

From such street accidents, it was easiest to see the style of a nation's people.

Old Li wanted to see what the Great Qin commoners had been educated into.

He went over to look.

A carriage from out of town, loaded with goods, was moving forward, and because it couldn't stop in time, it hit a pedestrian.

The owner of that carriage pointed at the person who was hit and started shouting.

"Are you blind? I have such a big carriage coming, and you didn't see it?

You didn't know how to dodge, so you deserve to be hit!"

Such a scene often happened in Great Tang too.

Generally speaking, the person who was hit, as long as they didn't have a big backer, would choose to walk away in disgrace.

However, this person was hit somewhat heavily and couldn't stand up for a while.

He just hugged his leg and sat on the ground, crying from the pain, but didn't dare to make a sound.

Old Li watched with great interest and even said to Fang Xuanling.

"See, the Great Qin commoners are about the same as Great Tang commoners."

At this time, someone in the crowd stood up to speak.

"You hit someone like that, and you're still saying sarcastic things?

I clearly signaled just now, but your carriage didn't stop; you have to take full responsibility for this accident!"

The carriage owner patted his ears, seemingly unable to believe it.

He resigned himself to bad luck.

"What? I'm fully responsible?

This kind of blind person, hitting him to death wouldn't be too much.

Why should I take responsibility?"

The person who spoke just now went over to check the injuries of the person on the ground and looked up.

"You don't understand Great Qin's traffic rules at all?

You are not a Great Qin person?

Which country are you from?"

Asked about his nationality, the carriage owner became somewhat evasive, seemingly unwilling to mention it in public.

At this time, the Imperial Guard also arrived.

The Imperial Guard wasn't so polite; they directly surrounded the accident scene with a circle of people.

"You, what kind of person are you, and what are you here for?"

Seeing the Imperial Guard, the carriage owner immediately became somewhat humble.

"Officer, I am a legitimate merchant from Great Tang, just transported some goods and was preparing to leave."

So it was a Great Tang merchant!

Old Li was squeezed in the crowd, and hearing this, he felt a bit disappointed.

Among the Imperial Guard, there was also a military doctor, who had just finished checking the person on the ground and indicated that no bones were broken...

Someone else came over to ask the person who was hit.

"What kind of person are you? Why didn't you look at the carriage when walking?"

"I am also a Great Tang person; I saw the person waving a flag at the intersection, but I didn't know what it meant, and I was hit without knowing why." So, the one who was hit was also a Great Tang person.

Old Li was disappointed.

He traveled thousands of miles to Great Qin, and it was hard to see a carriage hit someone, but both sides were Great Tang people.

No wonder it felt about the same as Great Tang?

Fang Xuanling pointed at the person waving the small flag in the crowd.

"Old Li, that person is specifically standing at the intersection to direct traffic.

Great Qin really has many ideas; how did they come up with this?"

Putting someone specifically at an intersection to direct.

Old Li was also seeing it for the first time.

However, this was probably only necessary when it was as prosperous as Great Qin.

In Great Tang's Jin Ling, not a single carriage would come to the street for half a day.

If you put someone there, what would they direct? Direct people how to walk?

The more Old Li watched, the more uncomfortable he felt. ===== CHAPTER 1085 =====
