Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 239: Fengyu City is well managed

Su He looked at their different clothes and heard their different languages, and knew that they came from different regions. Fengyu City has a unique geographical location. It is the largest city behind the border city. It can defend when retreating and attack when advancing. It has been the safest city for hundreds of years. It is said that except for some shocks when the dynasty changes, it is relatively stable at other times.

After countless generations of unremitting efforts, the city walls are high and thick, enough to resist the invasion of foreign enemies in this era of cold weapons. So many times, when the enemy cannot capture it, they take a roundabout way around Fengyu City.

These are all what Su He learned after a long period of time, and of course he also read them in books. Every dynasty has books related to the Historical Records, and books related to the previous dynasty can be bought and sold freely in this dynasty.

This is why Su He has always wanted to live here. There is plenty of water and land in the city. Most of the houses here are spacious, and you can grow some things at home. Only the slums are cramped and small, and Fengyu City is a bit crowded there.

As long as the population exceeds a certain number, the city will expand to an outer city, that is, to build a new city outside the original city. In this way, the new city will surround the old city in the middle, making the old city safer.

Fengyu City has a good control over the population, and the household registration management is relatively strict. It takes a lot of money to register for household registration, which has led to many people living here on a temporary basis. Su He and his friends are now just temporary residents. Although they have their own houses, they do not have household registration here.

If there were any preferential treatment, outsiders like them would not have it. The city punished criminals severely, and since it was close to the border town, they would be directly sent to the border town to do hard labor.

Border towns have quarries, and they often need to reinforce the city walls and expand the outer city construction of the border. This seems to be the case for every city in this era, just like the annual rings of a tree.

Su He sometimes thinks of the artillery towers during the Japanese invasion of China, which are also a product of the times. If placed in modern society, a stealth drone can destroy it. At worst, a long-range rocket launcher can do the job. Modern wars are fought on time differences, and all buildings on the ground can be attacked remotely. In addition, modern people are familiar with the proportion of gunpowder. As long as the will of people is not extinguished, I believe that they can fight against the invaders on their own.

If she didn't want to see the damage caused by hot weapons, Su He would have made the explosives in a minute. As for bullets, she could give some ideas. There are so many skilled craftsmen in this era, and they can definitely test them out. But Su He would rather lag behind here than see such a bloody scene. The progress of science is sometimes the self-mutilation of mankind.

Su He felt that the slow pace of this era was good. As long as they didn't get the upper hand from a certain bloody race, even some wars wouldn't be that scary. She didn't want to become food and slaves of foreign races.

The most terrifying thing is that countries like Japan and the United States, if they gain the upper hand, they will practice genocide against other ethnic groups. They will carry out a policy of massacre in the countries they occupy, killing all the people in an attempt to destroy them from the perspective of race.

A few years later, they tampered with history to make their people think that this was their inherent territory. The remaining indigenous people were directly defined as second-class citizens, without human rights and dignity, until they disappeared forever in the long river of history.

Isn't this the reason why many nations and ethnic groups disappeared in history? The few remaining Gypsies, Inuit, Metis, and the Tasmanians and Ona who disappeared forever were all poisoned, massacred, and gradually exterminated by invaders.
