Chapter Twenty-Four: Arrival at Dawning City
After staying in Flower Street for a few hours, Yang Xin'an's only feeling is that this is a gold cave, the minimum amount to eat is a silver coin, the tea to drink is good, each building has its own characteristics, each building has a ticket, song and dance performances, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, opera and opera are diverse, and you can also ask the woman you like to perform alone for you at a high price.
In this way, Yang Xiaoxin spent a whole yuan coin, and when she went out of Flower Street, she was still holding the elf's arm, shouting that it was not too expensive, but her face was still unfinished.
Out of the flower street is a snack street, smelling the smell of meat has been shopping for a few hours The three people in the flower street are also hungry, so they walk all the way to the snack street.
This snack street is no more than five meters wide, and there are all kinds of barbecue restaurants, soup shops, and snack bars that stretch for more than 200 meters, and there are all kinds of them.
Yang Xin'an and the three of them just went in to eat something at home, and it took them two hours to finish this snack street, and they saw from a distance that the coachman was already waiting at the agreed location.
At this time, the sky has begun to darken, and many shops have been lit on the lampstands in front of the door, and the slightly richer shops still use the kind of lighting stones that Wangxianglou has seen, and I heard the coachman say that these are some ordinary crystals, which are used by those inscription masters.
Seeing the night falling, Yang Xiaoxin asked the coachman, "Isn't there a curfew in Tiannan City?"
The coachman laughed and said: "Tiannan City is not a curfew, I heard that such a big city will not have a curfew, but the city gate will still be closed at night, in Tiannan City, except for three or four streets that never sleep, there will be very few pedestrians in other places at night." ”
The coachman paused for a moment, and then continued: "Let me tell you! The most lively places in Nancheng at night are the Flower Street, the Willow Lane, and the banks of the Fairy River, where the lights are colorful at night, and many powerful people in the city who are rarely seen during the day will appear there. ”
Yang Xin'an was also a little curious when he heard it, so he answered: "I really want to go there to see, but we have to go to the blacksmith shop to get customized pots and pans now, and we will leave for Dawning City tomorrow, it is better for Mr. to leave the address or contact information, and we will ask you to be a tour guide next time we come to Tiannan City." ”
Seeing that Yang Xin'an was so polite, the coachman hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't call me sir, I can't afford to call me this title, just call me Lao Liu, my friends call me that." ”
After taking the set of pots and pans, the three of them went back to the restaurant where they stayed, and Yang Xiaoxin settled the commission promised to Lao Liu today, and said that he would be hired as a tour guide next time he came to Tiannan City.
After paying for tonight's accommodation at the front desk of the restaurant, the three of them went back to the guest room to wash up and prepare to leave early tomorrow morning.
This walk took more than ten days, and the three of them accelerated a lot along the way, but the closer they got to Dawn City, the more numerous the roads became, and the more villages and towns they encountered, because these villages and towns were not marked on the map, they often saw farmers working in the fields before they knew that there was a village in front of them.
The last thousand miles of the road was driven by a horned horse with an off-road vehicle, and the person driving the wildebeest was also replaced by Yang Xin'an to a six-eared monkey, this monkey is getting smarter and smarter, and its height has actually grown to more than eighty centimeters tall, and it looks like a heroic feeling, Yang Xiaoxin said that this is an illusion, because she often knocks on the monkey's head and says that it is stupid.
Yang Xin'an and the three of them only felt that this road was like a turtle crawling, due to the high population density here, the three of them had not caught prey all the way, and could only enter these villages and towns to replenish, and when they saw the magnificent dawn city wall, the scattered money in Yang Xiaoxin's hand was only three yuan coins, more than a dozen gold coins and more than a dozen silver coins in addition to the yuan stone.
Looking at the city wall of Dawning City, the three of them were shocked, the city wall was completely made up of mountain peaks, and the mountain facing west was completely dug vertically, and many marks left by the attack of beast claws and horns could be seen on it, looking at the brown mountain, the brother and sister agreed that it was infiltrated by blood.
You can imagine what a terrible war it experienced in the distant era.
Walking along the hundred-meter-wide avenue, there are constantly vehicles merging in from other small roads more than ten meters wide next to it, and when they reach the mouth of the valley that enters Dawning City, the avenue under their feet gradually widens, and the lane, which was already a little crowded, becomes much more spacious.
The valley is 100 meters long, and from a distance, you can see that there is a section of artificially built city wall in front, Yang Xin'an estimates that this section of the city wall must be more than 100 meters high, and you can't see the top of the city wall after entering the valley, and there are four city gates under the city wall.
The three of them drove for five or six minutes before they saw the soldiers guarding the city gate, the city gate hole in front was at least thirty meters wide and thirty meters high, Yang Xin'an found that the city gates of this world were all iron cable lifting gates, and there should be a hollow corridor on them to raise and lower the city gates.
Yang Xiaoxin handed over three silver coins and one gold coin before she was allowed to enter the city, and she whispered in her mouth: "It is so much more expensive for carriages and horses to enter the city than people." ”
Perhaps the people of this world are very good hearing, and the guard soldier actually said: "You can make up three more gold coins, so that the entrance fee to the city will be more expensive than the carriage." ”
Walked more than 100 meters before entering the Dawn City, on the left and right sides of the front there are hundreds of meters surrounded by a five-meter-high walled courtyard, the wall courtyard continues to hear shouting, after walking this section of the road is a few miles of fertile land, originally Yang Xiaoxin thought that the two-hundred-meter-wide avenue is also slowly narrowing, and finally this avenue almost becomes one hundred meters wide again.
After walking for several miles, the three of them saw the courtyard area, which was a large courtyard, from the length of the courtyard wall, each courtyard was estimated to cover an area of hundreds of square meters, and there were dense trees and flowers and several three-storey small buildings inside, which seemed very elegant and quiet.
Yang Xiaoxin looked at the small courtyards, held Yang Xin'an's shoulders and said, "Brother, wait until we go and ask where these courtyards can be bought, since we want to live for a long time, we must have a courtyard of our own." ”
Yang Xin'an looked at the small courtyard outside and was also very satisfied, of course he would not object, but he still said: "It's still early today, let's go shopping first." ”
After walking for twenty miles to enter the business district, the three of them found a relatively cheap restaurant for a meal, and prepared to stay here for a night.
For such a big city, the car and horse dealership seems to be an indispensable configuration, and he said to the coachman: "The place to sell the house is to sell the trading place of those independent small courtyards outside." ”
Soon the coachman drove the three of them to the more central area of the city, along the way Yang Xin'an kept talking to the coachman, asking for some information that needs to be known, the coachman is also the city's city, because Yang Xin'an's commission is relatively high, the coachman also knows everything.
There are many commercial areas in Dawning City, but the most lively is the central area, where there are the City Lord's Mansion, the Council Center, the Housing Sales Center, the Deacon's Yamen, the Guard's Office, the Inscription Association, the Pharmacy Association, the Warrior Guild, the Car Dealers Association, the Yunjia Wangxiang Building, the Tenglong Auction House, the Zhao Armor Pavilion, the Wang Armor Shop, the Zhang's Clothing Store, the Water Dragon Pavilion Medicinal Material Shop and other large family industries.
There are also many small family shops under their names, because there are too many of these families, the driver didn't say much, but kindly reminded that as long as the family can operate a shop in the central area, it belongs to the behemoth of Dawning City.
To the north of the city, there is Flower Street and Lake Mochizuki, where the scenery is stunning.
There is a casino in the northwest corner of the city, where many people get rich overnight and go bankrupt overnight.
There is the Dawn Martial Arts Academy in the east of the city, which is the holy place for the cultivation of the human race.
There is the Shenmu Military Academy in the south of the city, and many famous generals have come out of there.
There is also a military camp next to each of the four gates of Dawning City, guarding the safety of Dawning City.
Half an hour later, a few people arrived at the central area, facing the avenue is a tens of thousands of square meters of large circular square, the square is a big palace building, there is a large plaque on the palace with three big characters written in the council hall, in front of the palace there is a high platform of hundreds of square meters, the platform is about three meters high, it seems that it should be used for meetings or speeches.
On the right side of the palace is the city lord's palace and house sales center, and on the left is the deacon's yamen and the guard's house, and many people can be seen coming and going in these buildings.
When the carriage entered the square, the three of them saw that the street on their side was a commercial shop, each building had more than ten floors, covering an extremely wide area, and the architectural appearance was also different, forming a unique style.
Walking into the housing sales center, Yang Xin'an and the three learned that this building with a wide area is not only for selling houses, but also for managing taxes and finances, but fortunately, there are special instructors in the hall to guide the business.
A beautiful female instructor walked up to Yang Xin'an and asked, "This gentleman, two young ladies, what business do you want to handle? Is it to pay taxes, buy or sell houses, or rent shops?"
Yang Xin'an thought about it and asked about the purchase price and requirements first, after all, he had always heard about the household registration restrictions before, so he asked: "What is the price of buying a house, and are there any restrictions?"
As soon as the beautiful instructor heard that Yang Xin'an and the three were going to buy a house, she hurriedly led the three of them to a hall on the right.
"Three of you, please here, the houses we sell here are small courtyards, independent courtyards, remote courtyards with 3,000 gold coins, and Dalin Garden Center Mansions worth 10 million gold coins, you can take a look at our city model, you see these are the courtyards of the east, south, west, and north four districts, and the courtyards with prices on them are for sale. ”
Seeing this city model, not only the brothers and sisters were stunned for a moment, but even the elves were surprised, it looked like looking down on the entire Dawn City, the brothers and sisters were surprised by the intelligence of the people of this world, and the elves were purely shocked.
