I Became the Richest Man with a Monthly Salary of 20,000

"Mr. Xia Liang, where should we go to play tonight?"

In the car, Lu Ruian looked at Xia Liang excitedly and asked. Since he saw the beautiful scenery of the Tang Dynasty that never sleeps last night, he has begun to look forward to what beautiful scenery he will see tonight.

"Mr. Lu Ruian, we have many night scenes in Qingyun, such as the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden, which is the largest cultural theme park in the northwest. It lights up at night and has the world's largest water screen movie."

"There is also the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, which was first built in the Tang Dynasty. The 'Wild Goose Pagoda Morning Bell' in the Small Wild Goose Pagoda is one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong in Qingyun."

"There is also the Qingyun City Wall, which has a history of more than 600 years. It is currently the largest and best-preserved ancient city wall in the Dragon Kingdom. You can ride a bicycle and stroll on it, overlooking the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties."

"..."

Listening to Xia Liang's introduction, Lu Ruian suddenly became confused. With so many good places, he really didn't know how to choose.

"Mr. Xia Liang, why don't you help me choose one."

Lurian thought for a while and said.

"We are not far from Qingyun City Wall now. If Mr. Lu Ruian has no objection, let's go to Qingyun City Wall."

"Okay, listen to Mr. Xia Liang."

After speaking, Lu Ruian also took out the camera and started recording some material.

Before long, the two of them arrived in front of the Qingyun City Wall. When Lu Ruian got out of the car, he was shocked again when he saw the city wall in front of him.

The city wall was extremely majestic, with countless lights illuminating the entire night sky. At this time, people were coming and going, and the liveliness was not inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty's Sleepless City where he went last night.

"My dear, the nights in Long Kingdom are indeed lively."

Lu Ruian sighed with emotion, and Xia Liang also took him to buy tickets and rented two bicycles by the way.

When he came to the city wall, Lu Ruian also looked around, showing surprise again. Looking from a distance, he could actually see the entire Qingyun City.

"This is how the night in Qingyun City turns out to be!"

As he glanced over, countless lights lit up throughout Qingyun City, completely dispelling the originally dark and silent night.

The streets are busy with traffic and there are countless pedestrians. Except that the night has darkened, the feeling is no different from the daytime.

"Mr. Lurian, let's go. This trip will take at least two hours to end."

Xia Liang said with a smile.

The Qingyun City Wall is 13.74 kilometers long. If you walk, you can probably reach dawn.

Even if they ride bicycles now, the time will not be too short.

Lurian nodded, and then the two of them rode bicycles together, the night breeze carrying their faces along the direction of the city wall.

On the city wall, in addition to Xia Liang and Lu Ruian, there were many people riding bicycles.

When they saw the foreigner Lu Ruian, these people all showed curious eyes. After all, foreigners are still a rare species in the Dragon Kingdom.

"Mr. Lu Ruian, the Qingyun City Wall is a Ming Dynasty building. It was built in the third year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty, and was not completed until the eleventh year of Hongwu. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once said, build the wall high, accumulate grain widely, and slowly become king. This is The Qingyun City Wall was also built on the basis of the Sui and Tang imperial cities.”

While the two were riding bicycles, Xia Liang also began to explain to each other the history of the city wall in front of them.

"The strategic purpose of the Qingyun City Wall is for defense, so the thickness of the city wall should even be greater than the height, so that it can be as stable as a mountain. The top of the wall can even be used for horse racing and training."

Xia Liang said, and a main building appeared not far away.

The main building is more than 30 meters high and 40 meters long. It is in the shape of a mountaintop with upturned corners. It has three layers of double eaves and is surrounded by a cloister on the ground floor.

Especially at night, under the illumination of those lights, the main building looks even more antique and majestic.

In addition, the city wall also has a series of military facilities such as moats, suspension bridges, turrets, parapets, and crenels.

"Mr. Xia Liang, this city wall is too spectacular. How did you people from the Dragon Kingdom build such a city wall hundreds of years ago?"

Listening to Xia Liang's introduction, Lu Ruian was also surprised. Even if the city wall is being built now, it is still a huge project, let alone hundreds of years ago.

"Mr. Lu Ruian, this Qingyun City Wall embodies the wisdom of the ancient working people of our Dragon Kingdom. Every stone here is made with their blood and sweat. Although I am from the Dragon Kingdom, every time I see such a magnificent city wall, I’m still deeply shocked.”

Xia Liang said seriously, and he was also fascinated. He seemed to have seen the scene hundreds of years ago when the ancients struggled to pile huge rocks into the city wall in front of him.

The two continued to move forward, and Lu Ruian also looked outside the city wall, admiring the scenery in Qingyun City.

"Mr. Xia Liang, why are there these gaps in this city wall?"

Lurian asked looking at the continuous concave and convex tooth-shaped low wall built on the outside of the top of the city wall.

"Mr. Lu Ruian, this is called a battlement, also known as a wall. There are nearly 6,000 such walls on the entire city wall."

"There are crenels on the crenellated walls, which can be used for archery and observation. The inner low wall on the other side is called the female wall and has no crenels. It was mainly used to prevent ancient soldiers from falling while walking."

Xia Liang explained with a smile.

"Mr. Xia Liang, what is this?"

"This is called an enemy tower. An enemy tower will be built every 120 meters on the city wall. It protrudes outside the city wall and the top is flush with the city wall. This is specially set up to shoot enemies who climb the wall.

The enemy tower was only half visible, just within the effective range of the bow and arrow, making it easy to shoot the attacking enemies from the side.

There are a total of 98 enemy towers on the Qingyun City Wall, each with a garrisoned enemy tower. "

"..."

The two of them were not very fast. When they saw some strange buildings on the city wall, Lu Ruian would stop and ask questions, waiting for Xia Liang to answer.

In this way, the two of them walked around and visited many sights on the city wall.

There is the magnificent Zhuque Gate, the gate pillars are made of marble, and the bluestone threshold is engraved with graceful arabesque patterns.

There is a Hanguangmen with artificial lighting and air-conditioning system inside, and I visited the Hanguangmen Site Museum of the Tang Dynasty City Wall.

There is also the Kuixing Tower built on Wenchang Gate, which is the only facility on the Qingyun City Wall that has nothing to do with military defense.

…

Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, the two of them suddenly felt filled with great pride.

It was as if they had gone back to ancient times and had become a soldier on the city wall, holding weapons and about to face countless enemy troops below who were about to attack the city.

"The culture of Dragon Kingdom is really too profound. It's just a city wall, but it actually has such a history."

Lurian couldn't help but sigh again.

It was supposed to be over in about two hours, but after the two of them stopped and walked, it actually took four hours to end.
