"The first question, I realized that you seemed to recognize that I'm not from Yanjing City at first sight. How did you know?" Guhan asked Jia Sanbiaozi.
"Hehe, from your question, I can tell that you're not from Yanjing City."
Jia Sanbiaozi said with a charming smile, "It's actually very simple. Our Yanjing City hates yellow the most. We can't even be stained with a little yellow.
Therefore, the clothes that we wear in Yanjing City never have a little yellow in them. Unlike you guys, your clothes are more or less yellow, so we can recognize that you're not from Yanjing City at a glance. "
Hearing Jia Sanbiaozi's words, Lu Xihua subconsciously looked at his clothes and found that there were some yellow stripes on his clothes.
He then looked at Qingpin and Gu Yun. Qingpin was wearing a Pikachu costume today, and his whole body was yellow.
Gu Yun was wearing green clothes, but there was a small yellow flower stained with blood on her clothes.
Heavenly Sword was tied with a yellow belt, and there was a small yellow ring on the cuff of Guhan's clothes.
All in all, their clothes were more or less yellow, and it was very obvious that they could recognize it at a glance.
"Why do you hate yellow so much?
I read in the book that yellow was the color of nobility before the apocalypse. Why don't you like it? "Lu Xihua asked curiously.
"This …" Jia Sanbiaozi hesitated and refused to answer.
"She asked you the same as I asked you. What I said still counts."
Guhan's words reassured Jia Sanbiaozi. He smiled flatteringly, "No one knows the specific reason. It's a rule passed down from the time of Kenzu."
"I heard that when Yanjing City was just established, Lord Kenzu carried out a rectification movement. He taught us Yanjing City people to be noble and get rid of vulgar interests.
To be a person with a healthy pursuit.
To be a person who stays away from yellow things! "
Jia Sanbiaozi's speech was very rhythmic, which sounded like singing. This was also the characteristic of the people in Yan Jing City. It was said that it had been passed down since before the Great Destruction. "You see, the Sword Ancestor personally told us to stay away from yellow items. This is definitely not wrong, so we in Yan Jing City hate yellow the most. Yellow is not allowed to appear anywhere."
"So that's how it is!"
Lu Xihua was fascinated. He really had to go out more. The outside world was too big, and there were too many new and interesting things.
Gu Han shook his head noncommittally. As a person who had a deep understanding of history and culture, of course, he knew what the Sword Ancestor meant by the yellow color.
When the Sword Master carried out the rectification movement, the Great Cultural Destruction had not happened yet. At that time, it was impossible for human beings to not understand the true meaning of yellow, so Yan Jing City did not reject yellow for this reason.
This bullshit explanation of the Sword Ancestor's teachings must have been a smokescreen released by someone to cover up the truth at that time. Unexpectedly, this smokescreen had become a fact over time and had been passed down to this day.
…
"There's one more question. You just said that the private rooms in the core area are empty. Why is that?" Guhan asked again.
"Hey, what's there to ask? Of course, it's because there aren't many people in the core area!"
Jia Sanbiaozi smiled mischievously. "Sir, this is not a problem. I won't take your money. I don't have the face to take your money."
"That's impossible!
The core area of Yuzhang City is always crowded with people. Every shop is full of people. It's just that it's a little deserted because of the big attack in recent days. At other times, it's not as deserted as your Fourth Ring Road, "Lu Xihua rushed to say.
"That's the biggest difference between our Yanjing City and Yuzhang City."
Jia Sanbiaozi shook his head. "I heard that the core area of Yuzhang City does not restrict ordinary people.
Our Yanjing City is different. Only sword bearers or people with citizenship are allowed to enter the core area of our Yanjing City. Don't even think about it. If you're found out, you'll go to jail. "
"Our Yuzhang City also restricts this!
Only sword bearers and citizens can live in the core area. There's no difference! "Lu Xihua was confused and didn't understand.
"You're wrong. You didn't understand what I meant."
Jia Sanbiaozi knocked on the table with his fingers. "Only sword bearers and citizens can live in the core area. Your Yuzhang City is indeed the same as our Yanjing City.
But this is just for living. If it's just for fun, ordinary people can still freely enter and exit the core area.
But in our Yanjing City, ordinary people are not even allowed to touch the edge of the core area. Otherwise, they'll be locked up for at least a year. "
"How could this be?
Isn't this blatant discrimination?
They don't treat people as people. Their sword bearers are so awesome! "
Lu Xihua still had some consciousness of an ordinary person in her mind. After all, she hadn't become a real sword bearer yet. So after hearing this blatant discrimination, she was a little angry.
"My lord, you can't say that. Even if those sword bearers invite us in, I don't want to go to the core area.
What's there to stay there? It's not as comfortable as the Fourth Ring. "
Jia Sanbiaozi sighed. "In fact, not only the core area, even between the Second Ring, Third Ring and Fourth Ring, you can't enter and exit at will.
If you don't apply for a Third Ring Pass or a Second Ring Pass, you'll have to go to jail if you're caught. "
"…" Hearing Jia Sanbiaozi's words, Lu Xihua was stunned again. "This can't be. It's a place where ordinary people live. Is there still a restriction on access?"
"What's so strange about this? In a country before the apocalypse, didn't there also have Hong Kong and Macao Passes and Taiwan Passes?"
Jia Sanbiaozi curled his lips. "You can also see that Yanjing City is surrounded by rings. The deeper you go, the safer it is. At least wait until all the people in the Fourth Ring are dead before it's the turn of the people in the Third Ring!"
"The people in the outer ring try their best to squeeze into the inner ring to live. For example, if people in the Fourth Ring want to live in the Third Ring, according to the rules, they have to buy a house in the Third Ring. Thus, the price of the Third Ring has been pushed up to more than 100 times that of the Fourth Ring, but it's still in short supply because no one is willing to sell their house."
"The high price of the Third Ring is not only a trap for the people in the Fourth Ring, but also for the people in the Third Ring.
If a family in the Third Ring has a few extra kids, there are only two ways for them to go.
They can either buy him a house and let him have a Third Ring account so that he can live in the Third Ring justifiably.
Or they can listen to the management of the council, and the council will allocate a house to this kid in the Fourth Ring. "
"Everyone in the Third Ring wants their kid to live in the Fourth Ring. Everyone is trying their best to buy a house for the kid, but the price of the house has been pushed up by 100 times by the people in the Fourth Ring. Not many people in the Third Ring can afford it, so the conflict came."
"More than 200 years ago, when the Fourth Ring had just been designated as a residential area for a few decades, the people in the Third Ring and the Fourth Ring started fighting because of the housing price. Later, for some reason, the people in the Second Ring and the Third Ring also started fighting.
At that time, facing the attack of the undead army led by Lich King Arthas, more than half of the sword-bearers in Yanjing City were transferred to fight in the battle of New York. The remaining sword-bearers were also defending the city defense of Yanjing City with all their strength, so they didn't care about it. "
"In the end, when the people of the Sword Council reacted, more than two million people in the Third Ring, Fourth Ring, and Second Ring had died, which was more than the number of people who died in the Yuan Kou attack.
Later, after reflection, the Sword Council simply issued an order that from now on, the people in the Second Ring will be the people in the Second Ring, the people in the Third Ring will be the people in the Fourth Ring, and the people in the Fourth Ring will be the people in the Fourth Ring. "
"From now on, only the people in the Inner Ring are allowed to stay in the Outer Ring, and the people in the Outer Ring are not allowed to enter the Inner Ring.
A large number of troops were stationed between the city walls of each ring. Without a reasonable and legal reason to apply for a pass more than 10 days in advance, the people in the Outer Ring are not allowed to touch the land in the Inner Ring. "
"Unless your family is lucky and gives birth to a sword-bearer, the people in the Fourth Ring will stay in the Fourth Ring for the rest of their lives … If you want to go to the Fifth Ring, it's not a problem!"
After finishing this long paragraph, Jia Sanbiaozi felt unbearably thirsty. He drank all the water in the cup in front of him, but still felt very thirsty.
"But this didn't solve the fundamental problem!
The root of this contradiction is still there, and the solution of your Yan Jing City is just adding a lock. I feel that sooner or later it will still erupt! "Lu Xihua's political awareness was not bad, and he actually saw the fundamental problem.
"Ah, that can't be helped. The population is increasing, but there is only so much land. There will always be people living in the Third Ring, and there will always be people living in the Fourth Ring. In the future, the Fifth Ring will be the same. We can only endure until the day when Yuan Kou completely disappears. At that time, we can live wherever we want. That will be really free!" Jia Sanbiaozi sighed and said.
"That's true, I don't know if I can see the day when all the Yuan Kou die!" Lu Xihua held his chin, looked at the chandelier in the room and muttered to himself.
"That day will come sooner or later!"
Guhan's expression was firm and helpless. "But even if that day comes, it still can't be solved.
Humans!
They always go where there are more people. Before the Great Collapse, the population density of the old Beijing was not much lower than the Fourth Ring. Why didn't Yuan Kou exist at that time! "
"My lord!
You are very knowledgeable!
You must be a cultured person who knows history!
You even know what happened before the Great Collapse! "
Hearing Guhan's words, Jia Sanbiaozi stood up respectfully before Lu Xihua could react. "My lord, I, Jia Sanbiaozi, respect cultured people the most in my life. For today's business, I will give you a 2% discount!"
