The topography of the Sea Country is long and narrow from south to north, and it is divided into seven state capitals: Nanhama, Kitahama, Donghama, Nishihama, Namuriku, Hokuriku, and Churiku. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The four major Hamafu provinces in the southeast, south, and northwest are bordered by the sea, and the three Rikufu in the north, south, and central are in the middle, of which the Churiku Prefecture is sandwiched between the Nanriku and Hokuriku provinces, and it is the Kyoto of the sea country.
Su Miao's destination is naturally Zhonglu Mansion. No matter what country you are in, Kyoto is always the center of officialdom, literati, and business in the country, and it is the most lively place, and this is the first place they want to go to when they want to find out the news.
The map of Haiguo, as early as when they were on the ship, Su Miao and Song Chen had already seen it. With Song Chen here, Su Miao didn't even bother to remember, anyway, just follow him when the time comes. Going to Zhonglu Mansion is also a plan that has been set a long time ago.
When he arrived at the dock, as soon as the ship was moored, a caravan came to unload the cargo, Cui Xiang was busy docking with the people who came, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and it seemed that there was no free time in a few days.
Su Miao and Song Chen went to say hello to Cui Xiang and left. After arriving at the port when they were on the ship before, Su Miao and Song Chen set off to Zhonglu Mansion first, and after the goods on Cui Xiang's ship were properly placed, he would set off to Zhonglu Mansion to handle the goods, and everyone would find a chance to meet again.
The capital of Jersey Province, Jersey City is bustling with people on the streets of the city, with large shops and hawkers taking up half of the street, and all kinds of hawking around.
Su Miao and Song Chen entered the city, first walked around the street, picked two horses in the horse shop that bought and sold mounts, and then pulled the horses all the way to find the Languo Restaurant. Since hearing what Cui Xiang said about the scene of Haiguo people eating twilight dancing fish, Su Miao and Song Chen have no interest in Haiguo cuisine.
As the first stop for foreign merchant ships, Xibin City has a highly developed business, and in order to meet the preferences and tastes of sailors from all over the world, there are restaurants in the city. On the road that Su Miao and the others walked, there were three Languo restaurants. The reason why there are many Languo restaurants is because Dalan people think that the food of their country is unique and irreplaceable, so even after leaving Dalan, they are still accustomed to eating only Languo cuisine. Another reason is that there are actually many fans of Lan cuisine in other countries, and they want to taste it when they have the opportunity, so now Dalan's restaurants are opening more and more
The restaurant is opened by Dalan people, and the Lan cuisine is very authentic, Su Miao and Song Chen were eating, and suddenly remembered, called Xiao Er in, ordered a few tables of food, and asked the restaurant to arrange someone to send it to the Cui family fleet at the dock.
After eating, Su Miao and Song Chen left Nanbin City and began to go north.
As mentioned earlier, the land of Haiguo is small and long, and Su Miao and they have to go up from Nanbin Mansion to pass through the two cities vertically, and the distance to go is not short. But no matter how long it is, it is only two cities, Su Miao and they rode a horse, and three days later, they came to Zhonglu City, the capital of Zhonglu Prefecture.
Find a place to settle down first - Su Miao and Song Chen first found a inn that looked clean and tidy, opened a room, deposited the two horses in the inn, and paid some silver for Xiao Er to help take care of it. Then he took Su Miao out to find the teahouse.
Teahouses have always been the center of all kinds of gossip, and those who come to the teahouse are either idle and bored to listen to and talk about all kinds of gossip, or those who want to come to hear the news, and those who come to listen to the news will have all kinds of clues to exchange and discuss......
Su Miao and Song Chen opened a private room, closed the door after the things were ready, the two of them stopped chopsticks after eating a few snacks, and sat in the room while drinking tea, while concentrating and calming, searching for all kinds of news in their ears.
After about a cup of tea, Su Miao and Song Chen's eyes suddenly opened, and the two of them glanced at each other: Tongtian Pavilion?
Just now, there were people in the lobby below who were discussing, and if they wanted to inquire about the news in Haiguo, they would usually go to the Tongtian Pavilion in Zhonglu City. This Tongtian Pavilion is the industry of the people of the Eagle Country, specializing in buying and selling all kinds of news, the news is accurate and complete, but the price is also very expensive, not ordinary people can enter. The people of the Eagle Country seem to have a way in intelligence that others do not have, and there is a reason why they are expensive.
When checking out, Song Chen casually asked about the location of Xiao Ertong Heavenly Pavilion.
Xiao Er is very talkative, knows everything, talks endlessly, the location of Tongtian Pavilion is not far from the teahouse, and the road is not complicated, so he was quickly found by Song Chen.
At the door of the Tsutenkaku, they also meet an unexpected acquaintance.
