Chapter 104 Prosperity

On the morning of the third day, Luoyang.

The morning bells already existed in Luoyang City are flying leisurely, and then all the residents of Luoyang City, which are blooming with the rise of the morning light, ushering in another good weather!

Luoyang, which was once the capital and the starting point of the Silk Road several dynasties, is now re-established as the capital and rebuilt by the Song Dynasty decades ago. Luoyang, which has more than one million permanent residents, looks extremely prosperous. Wang Chen, Saeko, and Sayaka, who had just walked out of the door, just as soon as he left the gate of Yongyi Houhou Mansion, walked the Bluestone Street, which was 200 steps wide. On both sides of the street paved with bluestone slabs, there are mansions of Yongyi Houhou Mansion and other dignitaries and nobles!

Wang Chen and his party walked through this block slightly and saw the Central Street, which was more than twenty miles long and more than three hundred and fifty steps wide (the result of the Song Dynasty's capital moved), and felt the oncoming prosperity:

The Central Street, also paved with bluestone slabs, is filled with pedestrians coming and going, countless merchants, merchants, barricades, women, children and girls walking on both sides of the Central Street. The center of the Central Street is blocked by several distinct stone slabs of distinct colors. The knights, horse carriages, and ox carriages coming and going are all in it.

It can be seen that Luoyang has already had a very complete transportation plan. In the memory replaced by Wang Chen, the official route is the inside of Central Street. The messenger riding horses or the messenger who mobilizes the servants to move in the center, and other carriages and ox carriages are not allowed to break in; and the innermost sides are nobles such as Yong Yihou, officials of the court, carriages and horses of wealthy merchants; near the edge of the street are the carriages of other ordinary merchants, carriages of travelers, ox carriages and other lanes. It is said that only after midnight at night can the vehicles that can transport garbage or other things out of the city. The regulations are obviously in order, and the punishments and regulations are quite perfect, almost close to the traffic rules of later generations.

In contrast, on both sides of the streets of Central Street, there are vendors who open their doors to do business. Restaurants on both sides of the road, which are visited by various market residents, open early. There are braised pig and sheep heads, and a whole half of roast chicken and duck on the counter, or a large iron pot for making porridge or soup at the door, which exudes a different tempting food aroma, which makes people drool when they smell it. Even pedestrians coming and going are attracted to step into it from time to time and enjoy breakfast.

Especially what surprised Wang Chen slightly was that outside many shops that bought breakfast or cooked food, a pot of boiled boiled water was allowed to wash the face and rinse the mouth of the pedestrians who came to the store to buy food. When Wang Chen focused, he realized that the boiled water was also sold for money, and it was a very cheap one for Luoyang citizens who were too lazy to get up in the morning to boil water for boiling water in the stove.

Seeing this kind of orderly, even the shops on both sides of the sidewalk were clean, and even a lot of trees and gardens (private) were seen dotted in the city, which made Wang Chen, Saeko Mushima and Sayko Takashima all amazing!

“What a beautiful city ~!”

"It's really incredible. This is the size of a city with at least one million people..."

"Look at that! It seems to be an Indian?!"...

Not to mention Wang Chen, who was riding a tall horse, Saeko Mushima and Sayya Takashi, who were sitting in a carriage behind, were discussing quietly with the bustling shops and the crowds on both sides through the open carriage windows.

It is obvious that compared to the modern city of skyscrapers and houses made of steel and concrete, looking at the Luoyang City full of oriental classical culture, Saeko Kuroshima and Sayya Takashima were the first to see it. While sighing at the crowds coming and going, she was amazed at the passing classical buildings.

As the imperial capital of several dynasties, it is also the starting point of the Silk Road. Luoyang City, which was re-defined by the Song Dynasty, can be said to be the most elite city of the entire Song Dynasty. Compared with the original capital of Bianliang, the Northern Song Dynasty, it surpassed the latter's prosperity. Moreover, because it was the beginning of the Silk Road, it traveled between the Western Regions of the Song Dynasty (the name of the Song Dynasty for Central Asia), the Tianzhu Protectorate (you can tell where it is when you hear the name), the Western Qin (generally referring to Europe and the Balkans), and other places can be seen everywhere. Even walking across both sides of the Central Street, exotic shopping malls and many special commodities were placed, and the Tianzhu dancer or Persian dancer wearing veil and seductive costumes stood up to attract customers.

Unfortunately, Saeko Mushima and Sayya Takashi were driving on the Central Street and could not experience the prosperity of Luoyang City carefully. I couldn't help but feel a little regretful...

"Okay! When I finish the business this time, I will take you around the entire Luoyang City!"

Listening to the sound from the carriage behind him, Wang Chen, with a calm expression on his face, smiled slightly, and then directly made promises to the two beautiful girls with a microphone in his ear.

"Long live!"

"Shaya, don't shout..."

Wang Chen couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the sound from the WeChat phone, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"etc!"

"It's the patrol of the city defense military officer!"

"Get out of here quickly!"

When Wang Chen was a little distracted, he suddenly saw a little noise in front of him, and then the carriage and riders all stepped back and watched a team of fierce cavalry patrolling at a constant speed.

The cavalry team, which had only twenty, seemed extremely powerful. The cavalry with cold faces were meticulously riding horses and patrolling at a constant speed at the horses, but no cavalry was at all relaxed. The spear hanging on the victory hook emitted a cold light, and even when passing by the fearful and fearful Indian or Persian caravans, no cavalry stopped his steps and walked over with a rigorous and vigilant attitude.

"The comprehensive evaluation is [F-], and the leader will actually be [F] evaluation?! Very strong..."

Wang Chen looked at the patrol team passing by dozens of meters away, feeling the momentum of the cavalry who had obviously been on the battlefield and experienced fighting, narrowed his eyes slightly and estimated the situation with the newly obtained evaluation function.

It was obvious that the whole leopard was just a team of ordinary patrol soldiers in Luoyang, all with this level of strength. Wang Chen estimated the strength of the Song Dynasty and sighed in his heart - is this still the Song Dynasty, which is known as the most sub-armed force? No wonder it was a world of mid-level individual strength. Just looking at the situation of the Song Dynasty, you can estimate that the individual strength in this world is so powerful!
