The maple trees in Kaao are particularly red, and there are many of them planted along the way. As far as the eye can see, the red color is everywhere, which is eye-catching.
Two demonic red figures appeared at the end of the trail, walking slowly and casually, big hands holding small hands, robe sleeves fluttering.
There was a crowd of people crowding at the city gate in front, and three passages were opened. The middle one was the road out of the city. Only a few people came out. Two people were assigned to guard them. They only asked casually and let people go.
The one on the left is the passage for residents of Kaleng Imperial City to enter the city. People who enter only need to take out their card and license plate. A soldier stands there leisurely to guard, saying hello to acquaintances who come in from time to time.
In the passage on the right, there were foreigners queuing up to pay fees and waiting to enter the city. The interrogation was very strict. There were seven or eight soldiers who diligently interrogated them, and the queue formed a long queue.
In mid-August, the weather was very hot. The passage had not moved even an inch for a long time. Many people were sweating and couldn't help but tilt their heads and look at the intersection in front of them. The person who was stopped was a village woman with a hand in her hand.
Holding two children in hand, I was so anxious that I didn't know what I was arguing with the guard.
"Go over there. If you don't have money to pay the entrance fee, you are not allowed to enter the city!" The guard pushed her, threw her and the two children aside, and said impatiently, "Next."
"Master, I came from Moss City. I have a handwritten letter from the city lord. I..."
"Mos City? It costs ten silver coins to enter the city."
"What? So expensive? Me, the city lord sent me here to find..."
"Look at the signs! You are not allowed to enter the city without paying the fee. There is no point in looking for anyone!!!" The soldier impatiently tapped the notice board on the side with his hand. On the notice board with black characters on a blue background, the entry price was clearly marked.
City fees.
"To the north of Moss City, the entry fee is five silver coins. To the south of Moss City, including Moss City, the entry fee is ten silver coins. A third-level identity card will be issued, and the stay shall not exceed ten days. If it exceeds ten days, every day
The personnel detention fee is charged at the price of ten copper coins. Cough cough cough..." Standing in front of the bulletin board and reading aloud was a voluptuous girl in red, with short short hair hanging on her shoulders and a cold ghost mask.
It was clasped on the little face, and there was a trace of amusement in Shuishui's eyes.
"It seems that Emperor Kaleng is very short of money." Ni Tian raised his head and looked at Jun Lin who was standing behind him jokingly.
Jun Lin smiled slightly and raised his hand to rub her little head, "The tradition of Kaleng is that there are too many people in the city and it is inconvenient to manage. Managing with identity cards is also a way."
Ni Tian shrugged noncommittally, "Then how much do we have to pay when we come from the stars?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him, including the soldiers, all turned their gazes over, looking up and down at Ni Tian and Jun Lin like they were looking at monsters.
"What to pay? It will be easy if the money is useful!" A small vendor behind muttered, "I am a silk merchant from Xingchen. Every time I enter the city, I have to pay a century-old red crystal! That's not what money can buy.
The Kaleng Empire is really a scam, they are very unfriendly to outsiders! They are not like the simple and enthusiastic Luoyue people, they are just like the exchanges and business that other countries used to do."
"Look at the bulletin board!!!" the soldier said loudly, tapping the sign with black characters on a blue background impatiently.
Sure enough, the price was clearly marked on it. Merchants from Xingchen and Luoyue who entered the Kaleng Imperial City to do business must pay a hundred-year red crystal and must not stay for more than three days.
After exceeding the limit, the detention fee will be charged at the rate of one gold coin per day! One gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins.
Damn! How much money can you make by doing some small business in the city? An ordinary businessman can earn a few hundred silver coins a month, which is pretty good. Ordinary people's daily expenses are only a dozen copper coins. A few hundred silver coins can be converted into a few hundred silver coins.
Thousand copper coins, for many ordinary families, having that kind of income means they are rich and wealthy!
If you pay a gold coin a day as a detention fee, wouldn’t it make people poor?
"It's so cheating." Ni Tian touched his chin, shook his head and said, "Emperor Kaa is just short of money."
Everyone immediately stared at her.
Do you really know who you are talking about? You are talking about the Great Emperor!!!
Several soldiers pulled out their swords and said, "Hey, you, a stranger from the stars, what are you talking about?"
Jun Lin glared at them coldly, making the soldiers tremble in fright, and the sword in their hand almost fell to the ground with a clang.
This is a kind of noble aura that bursts out from within. This man, at first glance, seems to be the kind of noble person who is very difficult to mess with. Several soldiers exchanged glances, and the eldest one came out to apologize and said with a smile, "I don't know who your lord is.
?”
Jun Lin raised his hand and revealed a golden card.
A golden special identity card?
This is...a common status symbol for the Kaa royal family.
Suddenly there were several "bang bang" sounds, and all the soldiers were so frightened that they knelt down and said with pale faces, "Kowtow to His Highness the Prince."
Damn it, I have never seen anyone from the royal family walking into the city. Others were surrounded by carriages and horses, surrounded by servants. Before they even reached the city gate, they sent their cronies to evacuate the crowd.
We can’t blame them for not recognizing His Royal Highness!
How did they know that His Highness acted so unreasonably?
"Yes." Jun Lin nodded lightly, reached out and grabbed the little guy to his side, holding her little hand, "The prince and the princess are going to the city."
It turns out to be the prince and the prince’s concubine!
The looks in everyone's eyes changed as they looked over.
Since she is a member of the royal family and the emperor's daughter-in-law, then... it's okay to say a few words about the emperor's rights and wrongs. They are a family anyway.
The soldiers hurriedly evacuated the crowd and pushed aside several residents who were leaving the city, leaving a passage in the middle for the two of them to pass.
Jun Lin then took Ni Tian's little hand, and with everyone around him watching, he pulled the little guy towards Kaleng City.
It felt very good, and the corners of Jun Lin's mouth slightly raised, forming a graceful arc.
It was such a happy feeling to lead my daughter-in-law home. She wore a mask on her face, so as not to cause traffic jams and attract people to watch.
Jun Lin was happy on the side, but the young Tian'er looked around excitedly, and was very curious about the imperial capital of Kaleng.
The entire city of Kaleng is dominated by black. It is a very ancient and majestic city. Even the streets are not paved with blue stone slabs, but with black stone mounds crisscrossing them.
There are ancient Roman buildings everywhere, either black or white, and the sight is solemn...
