All-Heavens Star Chart

Youyu County, located in the northwestern border of the Ming Dynasty, was under the rule of the Datong Mansion of Shanxi Chengxuan, and it can be said to be one of the county towns closest to the border in the Ming Dynasty.

Twenty li or so from Youyu County to the north is where the Great Wall of Defense of the Ming Dynasty is located. The pass built here is the Great Wall of China.

In ancient times, the Shahu Pass was also called Shenhekou, because the Ming Dynasty sent troops to this pass many times to fight against Tatar Oala, so this pass was also called “Shahukou”.

And here is the approximate living area of ​​Zhou Chen in the next three to five years.

Thanks to the 2nd day of County Magistrate from Emperor Hongzhi, Zhou Chen alone followed a group of Hundred Cavalry Forbidden Army and left straight, rushed all the way to this important town in the northwest. .

As for why Ba Dao didn’t follow Zhou Chen’s side, it was because Zhou Chen needed Ba Dao to handle some things, so he ordered Ba Dao to return to Hanzhong, Shaanxi before taking office.

Emperor Hongzhi paid great attention to Zhou Chen’s appointment to the northwestern border town.

Not to mention the tiger charms given to You Yulinwei and the token of Bright Gown Guard Qianhu, Emperor Hongzhi even personally dispatched Zhou Chen, the guard of the Hundred Cavalry Forbidden Army, to take up the post of Youyu County.

With these elite military escorts with a hundred riders wearing Battle Armor, a war knife on their waist, and a bow and arrow hanging on their back, there is simply no eye-opening thief along the way who dared to provoke Zhou Chen.

Although the road is rugged and remote, the Zhou Chen entire group finally arrived at the inauguration boundary unharmed.

“Meet the Lord!”

Just when Zhou Chen waited for the entire group to set foot on the boundary of Youyu County, the silhouette of Ba Dao suddenly appeared beside the official road, he He arched his hands and said to Zhou Chen paid respect.

“Stop!”

As soon as he saw the Ba Dao silhouette, Zhou Chen raised his hand and motioned for the battallion to stop and rest for a while.

But he himself turned over and got off his horse, and walked a distance with Ba Dao.

Zhou Chen asked: “How about Old Liu? What happened to the things I asked you to do?”

“Young Master, rest assured, the subordinates will do everything you ordered It’s all right.”

Ba Dao quickly cupped the hands and replied: “After the subordinates return to the Dragon Gate Security Service, they will tell you what you ordered. Tong Old Master will send it without saying anything. An Escort who is familiar with Northwest issues and five shopkeepers who are experienced in the management of the city are here.

Now the subordinates have all settled them in Youyu County, and wait until you take office. , You can directly use a few of them.”

When he had never left the capital before, Zhou Chen asked Ba Dao to return to Hanzhong Dragon Gate Security Service by himself, in order to help Tong Tong The Old Master asked for help.

Since Zhou Chen took the burden of Youyu County Magistrate from Emperor Hongzhi, he must handle the opening of the mutual market.

However, it is simply unrealistic to start an exchange market between the Ming Dynasty and the many tribes in the grassland just by relying on Zhou Chen himself.

However, he didn’t know if there were any officials proficient in this way in the Youyu County government office, so he made some preparations before taking up his post.

The business of Dragon Gate Security Service in Hanzhong is spreading all over the world, and Tong Old Master naturally has no shortage of talents who are familiar with business affairs.

With the close relationship between Zhou Chen and Tong Old Master, there is no problem in borrowing a few talents from him to help spread the market stalls.

This is not the case. After listening to Zhou Chen’s needs, Old Master Tong directly asked Ba Dao to bring an Escort and five shopkeepers to Youyu County to help.

After listening to Ba Dao’s story, Zhou Chen’s mouth couldn’t help but bend gradually. He smiled and said: “Don’t say anything else, Uncle Tong is really nothing to say to me.”

After a sigh, Zhou Chen even turned over and rode on horseback, he said loudly: “Since the talents preparing for the mutual market have arrived, let’s hurry to the town of Youyu County. Let’s set off!”

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen took the whip in the raised hand high, rushed along the flat and straight official road, and drove straight to the town of Youyu County.

Seeing that Zhou Chen, the leader, has already left, Ba Dao and the Baiqi Imperial Army are all riding horses and whips, and the entire group grandiose rushes towards Youyu County.

At sunset, Zhou Chen and a group of hundreds of riders finally arrived outside the city gate of Youyu County.

Although the Youyu City in front of you is only a county seat, its scale is no less than the gates above the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.

Rough, persevering, and stable, all these are the aura of Youyu County.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhou Chen and a group of hundreds of riders entered the town of Youyu County.

Their entire group simply didn’t mean to conceal their tracks at all. Such battallion troops entered the city, and almost all of them were elite sergeants wearing armor and knives, which naturally attracted the attention of many successful people.

It’s just that perhaps because the town of Youyu County is located in the border town, the people have already been accustomed to seeing all sorts of sergeants galloping.

So these people just watched for a while, and then all of them dispersed, and there was no such a huge sensation.

Even if it is located on the northwestern border of the Ming Dynasty, the town of Youyu County is not far behind.

Because caravans often come to Youyu County, this small border town is actually quite prosperous and prosperous.

As for why so many caravans come to Youyu County? That is naturally for business.

It should be understood that although the Ming Dynasty did not open mutual markets, there are definitely not a few caravans that trade privately with grasslands.

Even resources such as salt and iron, which were strictly forbidden by the Ming Dynasty, were smuggled into the grasslands in secret.

And Youyu County, as the county closest to the border, naturally attracted countless smuggling caravans.

As a result, Youyu County must become rich and prosperous.

Everyone looked around, and this town of Youyu County definitely didn’t look like an ordinary border town.

In the city, shops, restaurants, and other businesses are scattered all over the street, and the to-and-fro merchants and pedestrians on the street are endless, and all kinds of cries are endless.

In Youyu County, not only the people of the Ming Dynasty live there, but also some Mongolian clansman live here again.

The dialect of the northwest and the Mongolian Ancient Race language are mixed together, which makes the atmosphere on this street very lively.

Of course, no matter how lively Youyu County is, it is not as prosperous as the capital of Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhou Chen and other entire groups don’t care about it at all, but go straight to Youyu County. The government office rushed.
