The capital of Kun State was originally the capital of Dakang in the former dynasty, and was also called Shangjing.
Dakang destroyed the country and was usurped from the throne. Therefore, although the capital was also affected, it was not too damaged. In addition, Kun Guo had been established for more than a century and had long since restored its former glory.
Shangjing City is located more than 300 miles south of the Shengjing River and was built close to the Jinlong River, an important tributary of the Shengjing River. It is said that this river was formed by the Golden Dragon.
Now, Lin Haoming and his party are walking north along the Jinlong River and are almost reaching Shangjing City.
As the largest city in the world, it goes without saying that it is prosperous. Although we haven't arrived yet, there are endless cars and horses on the road, and on the waterway, boats are connected end to end, and you can't see the end at a glance.
Lin Haoming and several others were riding horses and walking leisurely on the road along the river. As they approached Shangjing City, the road gradually separated from the river.
Next to Lin Haoming and others, there were more than a dozen carriages and horses, belonging to a caravan going to the capital to do business. "Less than ten miles further is the South Gate. If you go there at this time, you can eat at the Nanmen Market."
, if it’s too early and the evening market hasn’t started yet, and if it’s too late, you may not be able to get a seat.”
The person who spoke was the young master of the caravan, his name was Wang Chenzi. He was less than thirty years old, and he was dressed in fine clothes. It was obvious at a glance that he was a practitioner, and he had led the caravan alone between the capital and Fuwei County in the south.
For several years, I would make two trips every year, bringing goods from Fuwei County to the capital for sale, and then purchasing some goods from the capital and bringing them back to Fuwei County.
Although the territory of Kun Kingdom is relatively stable, there are still risks when doing business from east to west, north to south. Of course, the most important thing depends on the background.
Lin Haoming and his party met the young master of the caravan on the road. Although they did not have in-depth communication, it was obvious that he essentially belonged to a big shot in the capital of Kun Kingdom.
Fuwei County is a county very far to the south of Kun State. Further south are several counties of the neighboring Changlong State. Because it is a place where it is in confrontation with the Bai State, the situation is different. Lin Haoming and others have not wanted to go there yet.
I didn't know much about the situation there, but I made friends with Wang Chenzi on the road for a few days, and learned a lot about the customs and customs of the southern part of Kun Country.
Of course, there is another very important reason for guessing that Wang Chenzi is the subordinate of a big shot in the capital. Originally, the merchants were somewhat wary of strangers, but when they heard that Lin Haoming and his party were going to the capital to attend the Dharma conference, they suddenly became enthusiastic.
, and even hinted that he could help with the Dharma conference.
The reason why Wang Chenzi hinted like this was because he saw something on the road. Whether he wanted to make friends or something else, it can be said that this Wang Chenzi was a somewhat ambitious person.
Of course, then again, it is impossible for Lin Haoming and his group not to be noticed by others. Wanniu always calls out one young master at a time, but there is another one next to him. He Wanfeng, who was born in a big family, can be seen at a glance.
, coupled with the temperament of Mr. Guangzhi, anyone with a little discernment will make some connections.
"We won't go to the market. We have a place to seek refuge in the capital." Lin Haoming replied with a smile. When he got here, he naturally wanted to go to the other two sons of King Ding. Even for convenience, he had to go there.
.
"Oh, if that's the case, then we won't force it. If you encounter any trouble in the capital, as long as it's not too troublesome, you can come to me. I will live in Guangfu, the northernmost place in the south of the city.
Inn." When Wang Chenzi saw Lin Haoming's refusal, he didn't care at all, and instead extended his kindness.
Lin Haoming also smiled and nodded in understanding, and then Wang Chenzi began to introduce the customs and customs of the capital.
It is best to take the broad official road for ten miles. Even though there are more people, the speed is very fast. It doesn’t take long to reach the city gate. Maybe there is a Dharma conference to be held. There are more people coming and going than before, and the city gate inspection is easy.
If it gets stricter, there will be congestion two or three miles away from the city gate.
Wang Chenzi greeted Lin Haoming and then ran to the city gate. He didn't know what he said. A guard asked the caravan to follow him to the other side. There were obviously fewer people lining up to enter the city here, and the inspection seemed to be more relaxed.
Lin Haoming did not show his royal token and followed Wang Chenzi into the city.
The imperial city is naturally located in the middle of the capital. With the imperial city as the center, it is divided into four parts. There are two markets on the east and west sides, which are also the residences of ordinary people in the capital. The south of the city is mostly occupied by merchants and people doing various kinds of work, while the north is full of people.
It is the residence of dignitaries.
When Wang Chenzi arrived here, he did not live near Dongxifang City, but lived in the south and north of the city. It can be seen that the previous guess was correct. His goods arrived here, and there was no need for him to sell them. Naturally, someone would do it for him.
After entering the city gate, it is actually the South Gate Market. It is not as good as Dongxifang City, but it is quite a lively place. Compared with Dongxifang City, there are indeed more people visiting here, and there are all kinds of snacks and gadgets.
There are also many larger restaurants, so it’s no wonder that Wang Chenzi invited him to enjoy a delicious meal here.
It was here that Lin Haoming said goodbye to Wang Chenzi and others, and then planned to go all the way through the capital to the north. Prince Ding's Mansion also had a mansion in the capital, and he would know it when he got to the north of the city and asked about it.
"Young master, they've left, do you want me to keep an eye on them?" As he watched the group leave, a guard from the caravan approached Wang Chenzi and asked.
"Don't worry, I told you before that these people are not ordinary. Maybe it's the young master from that big family who is out to play. If you follow them, it's better not to be discovered. If you are discovered, maybe you will
It hurts me." Wang Chenzi explained.
"Yes!" The guard glanced at the retreating figure and did not dare to say anything.
There were a lot of people in the capital, but the roads were wide. Although the city stipulated that no one was allowed to ride a horse without permission, he walked slowly and soon arrived near the imperial city.
After walking along the road for a while, He Wanfeng couldn't help but sigh: "The Imperial City of Kun State is really big. I went to the Imperial City of Jing State when I was a child, and it was much smaller than this."
"Shangjing City was the capital of Dakang at that time, so it is naturally not comparable to the capital city of Jingguo. I heard from my father that this imperial city has been built for almost two thousand years. Do you think it can be majestic if it has been built repeatedly over the past two thousand years?" Guangzhi explained with a smile.
Get up, as the son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he naturally has more knowledge.
"Although it is big and majestic, even if you are an emperor, you can only stay inside all the time. It is better to follow the young master and live freely." Wu Niu rarely interrupted.
When Lin Haoming heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Wanniu, are you just too good at flattering people, or are you really in this state of mind?"
"Sir, if you let me choose, I will definitely follow you and not become an emperor." Wu Niu said with certainty.
"Brother Wuniu is right, no one cares about being an emperor." After following Lin Haoming for a long time, even He Wanfeng seemed to have a more worldly and refined flavor.
"Haha..." Lin Haoming just laughed and didn't comment any more.
