Chapter 284: The Characteristics of Kyoto Prefecture
As the capital of the Daqian Dynasty, where the dragon vein and essence of a country are located, Kyoto Prefecture undoubtedly has the most unique position and advantages of the entire Daqian Dynasty.
The sheer size of the castle and the nearly 10 million permanent inhabitants of the castle meant that there must be a terrifyingly large supply behind it to meet the daily needs of Kyoto Prefecture.
In fact, excluding Kyoto Prefecture, the remaining areas of Tianhe County are basically all part of this supply line.
Nearly 10 million people eat and drink the grain, vegetables and lean meat needed by Lazar every day, and these together consume an astronomical amount every day.
At the same time, the garbage, waste and all kinds of filth generated by daily life will also add up to a jaw-dropping result.
And these are just the most basic needs of life.
Add to that the abundance of other goods, the expensive add-ons needed for a luxurious life, and all the other useful and useless things, and the amount of goods that Kyoto Prefecture handles every day is unbelievable.
No matter how inconspicuous something is, once multiplied by the number of 10 million, it will become so huge that it will be shocking.
The most important thing is that Kyoto Prefecture itself does not have much capacity to produce!
Although there are many official kilns and workshops controlled by other large families in Kyoto Prefecture, almost all of the things produced by these official kilns and workshops have nothing to do with the most basic demands of life.
Although the construction of the castle is miraculous, the living space needed by nearly 10 million people is also exaggerated, so it is impossible to have such idle land for farming.
As a result, most of the supplies consumed by Kyoto Prefecture on a daily basis came from outside the city.
At least 80% of the daily crowd of people entering and leaving Kyoto Prefecture is for the purpose of providing for Kyoto Prefecture.
These people and these grains and materials, except for a very small number of outputs that are unique to other county capitals, the rest all come from Tianhe County.
So much so that the people in other cities in Tianhe County often joked that Kyoto Prefecture was a greedy beast entrenched in Tianhe County, relying on absorbing the flesh and blood of Tianhe County to survive, never knowing how to give, only knowing how to take, and ensuring its own flashy and extravagant life by looting the fat and ointment of other people in Tianhe County.
Although this is not appropriate, it is enough to explain a lot.
Since there is no need to work in the fields to show their worth, it is only natural that the people of Kyoto Prefecture will have to find other ways to ensure their livelihood.
Therefore, in Kyoto Prefecture, in addition to martial artists and scholars, the largest number of small vendors and craftsmen in workshops and official kilns are the largest.
The unique professional composition and the high degree of inclusiveness of the city itself made the people in Kyoto Prefecture at least in terms of knowledge a step higher than the people in other parts of the Daqian Dynasty.
In addition, being at the feet of the Son of Heaven has its own atmosphere, and the monthly silver of the handicraftsmen is generally higher, so there is no need to be like those farmers who plow, and often need to care about the changes in the weather and the quality of the year.
The abundant personal time and relatively light life pressure have made the people of Kyoto Prefecture have an almost massive demand for all kinds of conversation after tea and dinner.
In addition to the occasional unexpected, there are several topics that can be discussed in the minds of the people of Kyoto Prefecture for many years.
One of them is the spring and autumn examinations of the three universities.
On the days of the spring and autumn examinations of the three universities, you can hear all kinds of people discussing and disagreeing with each other about the two examinations in the streets and alleys of Kyoto Prefecture.
It has almost become a culture in Kyoto Prefecture.
This is normal for the people of Kyoto Prefecture, but for those who are new to Kyoto Prefecture, it will be extremely new and incredible.
For example, Ye Yi, who had just walked out of the inn at this time, and after crossing a road, he came directly to the gate of Shenwu Academy.
Since it was the day of the spring exam, as the sun had just risen, there were already people standing outside the gate of the Shenwu Academy. A large piece of black pressing, which seems to be at least a thousand smaller.
However, not all of these people are young people who came to apply for the Shenbu Academy, and more than half of them are the people of Kyoto Prefecture who have nothing to do.
Since it is to watch the excitement, it is natural to have a lively appearance.
Therefore, while these people in Kyoto Prefecture were watching from the sidelines, they were still talking loudly with each other, and the content was nothing more than related to the glorious history of the Shenmu Academy and some national events involved.
So much so that when Ye was still following Xia Fan to the gate of the Shenwu Academy, he listened to the discussions everywhere around him, and his expression was a little dazed for a while.
In particular, the content of some of the discussions actually called the name of the current Emperor of the Great Qian, but the two sides of the discussion did not care about it, which really made Ye still feel extremely surprised.
In fact, not only Ye Yi, but also those who had already been waiting at the gate of the Shenwu Academy, just when the time came, after the Shenwu Academy opened the gate, they would rush to the other young people from other places who had gone first, and they all showed strange expressions.
Because of this kind of thing...... In those cities of theirs, it is simply unthinkable!
"That's what the people in Kyoto Prefecture are like, and you'll find out when you get in touch with it later. Compared with those emperors of other countries in the Southern Regions, the last few Great Qian Emperors are absolutely enlightened and majestic, so they don't really care much about this kind of thing. There are more local scruples, but at this time, the Son of Heaven will naturally be much freer, and if it weren't for this open-minded attitude, Kyoto Prefecture would not have developed to such an unbelievable level. β
Looking at Ye Yi's slightly weird face, Xia Fan said with a smile.
"Listen to what you mean, have you been to other countries in the Southern Regions? But if I'm not mistaken, you haven't left Qingyang City since you were a child, right? This is actually the first time you've left home, right? β
Ye still glanced at Xia Fan and suddenly asked.
"Well, what's this...... I read it from books, and there are many geographical chronicles on the street that record the customs and customs of various countries. β
Xia Fan's eyes rolled around and then said with a smile.
"Really? I really didn't know you had such a hobby. β
Ye Zhen's tone was obviously a little skeptical.
"Ahem, this only proves that you usually don't care about me too much! As my fiancΓ©e, this is really a big mistake, and I must remember to correct it in the future. β
Xia Fan said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Ye still rolled his eyes.
The two of them were gossiping, but the door of the Shenwu Academy made a sound of 'Gragra', and with the sound, the two gates were pushed open from the inside out......
