The island country and his party did not enjoy any pleasing scenery, but they gained a beautiful woman and a large number of laborers, which was not bad.

After a few days of visiting Hangzhou, the group finally returned to Changsha, the imperial capital, by horse-drawn train.

Changsha is not the same as it was a few years ago, as the capital of the Chinese Empire, the economic, cultural and political center, not only has the city expanded by four or five times, but even the number of permanent residents has skyrocketed.

Changsha City attracts visitors from all over the world, and you can see all kinds of foreign people everywhere on the street, and now it is not easy to move to live in the imperial capital.

Here Li Nan came back with all the women, and did not inform the specific time of arrival, lest the imperial ministers make any big battles to welcome, and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to rest outside the city, so they followed the other people into the city together, and they felt that they were not interested.

The imperial capital is inhabited by His Majesty the Emperor and important ministers, so the public security measures are constantly escalating, and all weapons such as bows and crossbows and swords cannot be carried in.

When Li Nan was chatting, he casually mentioned it to Wei Luo and Li Daocheng, who were in charge of the security patrol, but they didn't expect them to start implementing this system in Changsha.

In fact, this point is still very necessary, after all, China in later generations can be made the safest country in the world, and this move is also indispensable, far more reassuring than the United States and other countries where people have guns in their hands.

When everyone passed through the security check, Li Nan also deliberately observed the patrol guards to see if someone was accepting bribes for personal gain, or if they were cheap, but fortunately, this did not happen.

In addition, there are some complaint boxes set up at the city gate and in various lively places in the city, among which the red boxes belong to the anti-corruption department, and the yellow boxes belong to the patrol battalion.

If people think that some officials are corrupt or that the patrol has committed evil deeds, they can make anonymous complaints here, and both departments will review and verify these issues.

Although Li Nan knew that doing so would likely cause trouble to some officials and patrolmen, it seemed that it was not bad so far, and there had been no deliberate slander so far.

Once in the city, you will find the spacious eight-lane Qinglong Street, flanked by pedestrians and lined with shops.

Looking at the taller and taller buildings everywhere, the shuttle carriages coming and going, and the smiles on the faces of the weavers, Li Nan's heart was full of a strong sense of achievement.

The most powerful empire in the land was built from scratch, bringing stability and prosperity to countless people, and anyone who could achieve such an achievement would probably have the same idea as Li Nan.

When Li Nan was full of feelings, the women around him exclaimed in surprise and rushed into an eight-story building next to him.

Because of the cement manufacturing process, the buildings of the empire have begun to use masonry and cement structures, and the buildings built are becoming higher and higher, but the imperial capital has a rigid rule that all buildings cannot exceed the palace, so the eight-story building is already the limit.

The reason why all the women are in a hurry to enter this building is because there are six golden characters on the signboard "Imperial Capital Wanwu Building".

Speaking of which, the owner of this Wanwu building has nothing to do with Li Nan, but a maritime merchant from Guangzhou.

In recent years, because the empire encouraged shipping, a large number of merchants chose to go to sea to do business, because there were no relevant restrictions, so the empire's goods were dumped in countries near and far.

As a result, although the number of merchants who succeeded in making profits increased, and the overall export profits and taxes increased significantly, for the maritime merchants who had been able to monopolize goods in the past, the fierce competition had to reduce prices, and the profits of a single piece of goods began to decline.

With this in mind, the merchant began to study new ways to make money, and the largest building in the imperial capital was an innovation.

Reluctantly, he followed his beauties into the building and saw the new cage, even the well-informed Li Nan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In fact, this kind of cage was originally used in high-rise buildings of the empire to transport masonry, and after loading heavy objects, it was necessary to pull the chain by hand to make it rise, and it could lift a weight of less than ten tons, but no one expected that this kind of cage would be used here.

You can see that there are many people waiting for the cage to rise and fall, and many people may not come here to buy anything, but just want to try this novel cage.

Li Nan, who was lining up, took a few beauties around him into the cage, and then saw a few strong men wearing building work uniforms, and began to pull the chains, using the fixed pulley at the top to save strength and send the cage upward.

There are still some dangers in this thing, so when he got to the second floor, Li Nan took this group of warblers and Yanyan out of the cage and began to walk around the various upper bunks built around the building.

Although this building that claims to be ten thousand goods does not have ten thousand kinds of goods, and it is estimated that they do not take these into account, there are definitely many types of goods sold here.

It can be seen that there are not only goods produced in the east, west, north and south of the empire, but also ginseng from Goryeo, fans from island countries, spices from the Western Regions, and even exotic goods from distant Daishi.

The second floor is an important part of the building, and the goods sold are naturally very popular, that is, women's and children's clothing, shoes and socks, accessories, rouge gouache and other cosmetics.

Not only are there a wide range of goods sold in the shops here, but most importantly, there are goods for all price points, which allows customers to buy both rouge for ten cents and fine perfume for five silver coins.

Li Nan has never underestimated the creative ability of the Chinese people, and these people have not disappointed him, such as perfume, which was originally not available in Huaxia, and occasionally some appeared, and they were also brought back from there by merchants who had gone to eat from afar.

Europe is now in the dark and chaotic Middle Ages, but it is said that perfumes have already begun to appear, and it is from there that these small quantities of perfumes that are shipped to China come from.

Some merchants would sell this precious and rare perfume at a sky-high price, while others began to study how to make it, so soon this commodity appeared in the empire.

Looking at the crazy purchase, seeing the Fu family sisters and Mrs. Qing and others who wanted to buy everything, Li Nan said to Yuzao, who was obediently staying by his side: "What do you like, go buy some too." ”

At first, the little beauty of the island country was prevaricating, but seeing that Li Nan insisted on doing so, she joined the ranks of others, and soon the nature of women's shopping was gradually revealed.

When the women walked out of the Wanwu Building satisfied, Li Nan was really glad that he still had the royal guards by his side, otherwise even if he had divine power, he might not necessarily take everything back.
