After the 16th century, with the rise of English capitalism, London grew rapidly. In 1500 the population of London was only 50,000, but in 1600 the population increased to 200,000. It's about the same size as a county town in China today.

London, the capital of the United Kingdom, is located on the plains of southeastern England, across the River Thames, 88 kilometers from the mouth of the River Thames.

The London area was where the British lived at the time. In 54 BC, the Roman Empire invaded the island of Great Britain, and in 43 BC it served as the main Roman military station and built the first wooden bridge across the River Thames.

The River Thames runs through the southern part of the city of London and is teeming with a variety of fish, giving it the nickname "the glory and wealth of the city".

The River Thames is the city's main transport artery, with royal flat-bottomed barges, large cargo ships and people's boats plying the river every day.

To cross the River Thames, pedestrians on land must cross London Bridge, otherwise they will have to cross the river by ferry. Built around the end of the 12th century, London Bridge is a 20-stone arch deck with two rows of houses, leaving only a narrow passage for pedestrians and vehicles. Not far from the River Thames, on top of a hill east of the Ruud Gate, stands the ancient St. Paul's Cathedral.

The majestic church overlooks the city surrounded by towers. St Paul's Church, to which St Paul's Church belongs, is home to a large number of publishers in the city.

The city of London was inhabited by countless merchants and artisans. The city is governed by a mayor elected by various guilds of crafts and commerce.

At that time, the handicraft and industrial and commercial guilds had strict rules. These rules protect the interests of the business owners and employees. In order to maintain good social customs, city officials moved games, performances, and theaters outside the city walls of the city of London.

As a result, there are few entertainment venues in town. There are only a few taverns and inns with colorful signs, such as "The Bull" and "The Great Bell", which are also staged from time to time.

Outside the city walls, the Shoedichi and riverbank districts, which were the domain of monasteries before the Reformation, enjoyed tax-free privileges and were known as "free lands".

This area has now become a "three-regardless" zone. Theatres, circuses and brothels were built here. London's beggars, thieves, hawkers and other traitors are also often inhabited here.

In the eyes of serious people, this is obviously a place to hide dirt and dirt, a very dangerous place to go. Strangely, however, the crime rate here is not necessarily higher than elsewhere in London.

So, when it is revealed that Edward has decided to go here, Lucy and Luna begin to work together to persuade Edward to dissuade him.

But Edward, as a king, could not have succumbed so easily, but he persuaded the two of them.

As for little Mary and Elizabeth, who were coaxing on the sidelines, he chose to ignore the attitude.

So, on this rare day, Edward began to appreciate 16th-century London, the city with its medieval tail.

Walk the narrow streets of London, followed by Guy Darkblade, the leader of the Darkblades. Ham, and André who followed him from Portsmouth.

After two years of eating and drinking, Andre, who was originally thin, has become a tall and strong teenager, and he is much taller than ordinary children.

The two followed Edward, coupled with Edward's own gorgeous dress, a proper trip for a noble young master.

Of course, there must be more than one person guarding His Majesty the King, and Edward could vaguely see some Darkblade masters arranged by Guy to follow.

The roads in London were still paved with bricks, and the color that was originally white was now dyed black and yellowish.

The road is not wide, but there are mountains of garbage of all kinds, which makes the road more and more congested.

A swarm of green flies buzzed around the shriveled cow dung, which had lost a lot of moisture, and seemed to be very satisfied with the food; In the stagnant water on the side of the road, a lump of yellow with a spiral pattern was quietly waiting, and it was suddenly run over by a passing carriage, and scattered in a slimy shape, but the people passing by did not have a trace of surprise.

and the naked little boy throwing the cute little pudding, chased by the women with broad waists and round shoulders, shuttled through the streets from time to time; From time to time, well-dressed gentlemen on crutches and high hats passed by in a carriage, with disdainful eyes on their faces.

Of course, there are more hurried pedestrians with vegetable faces, homeless people in tattered clothes and filthy bodies, and warblers hiding in alleys with red faces and revealing clothes.

Edward glanced at the sewage-ridden and mud-strewn streets, and had to hire an open-top wagon away from the disgusting road.

"Hello! Dear Sir, where do you need to go? ”

Edward boarded the carriage, which was large enough to carry six or seven people, and when he saw that the hygiene was good, he sat down, while Captain Guy and Andrei followed with some trepidation.

"Go to Drama Street!" Edward heard the coachman with the little black hat ask, thought for a while, and couldn't help but say.

At this time, theatre began to emerge in London, the most famous of which were the four theatres dedicated to theatrical performances: the Swan Theatre, the Rose Theatre, the Flower Bed Theatre and the Happiness Theatre.

Coupled with these small restaurants that also serve as theaters, they form a very famous drama street in London, attracting Londoners and civilians alike.

"But are you sure you want to go to Drama Street?" The driver smiled cautiously, feeling unbelievable at such a customer's request.

"That's right, it's Drama Street, you can take us there!"

Edward knew that theater was still the entertainment of ordinary people, and that dignitaries and decent gentlemen disdained to watch theaters, and were even ashamed to watch them.

It was only during the time of Queen Elizabeth that groups of talented literati made a living by writing plays, resulting in a large number of excellent works.

Coupled with the advent of the Renaissance era, the aristocracy and gentlemen began to pursue freedom and humanity, and the rich forms of expression of drama met their spiritual needs, so drama became popular.

The coachman was in a very depressed mood at this time, he didn't expect that one of his customers, who seemed to be an aristocratic customer, would like to go to such a mixed place, the world is so big, there are no surprises!

"Yes, dear sir, listen to you! I'll go! ”

The coachman sighed silently in his heart, but his mouth agreed very neatly, and his movements were even more neat.

The coachman sat in the driver's seat, and as soon as the whip sounded in the air, the two horses immediately understood the meaning of the horseman, and ran forward with their long legs.

Sitting in the shaking carriage, Edward finally remembered to make a spring carriage, and sure enough, his memory was not good!

Sitting in the carriage, the two brown horses in the front row did not run very fast, not only because of the uneven road, but also because there were too many people.

The outside of the city, which had not been expanded for a long time, could no longer withstand the population explosion and was overcrowded.

Watching the carriage move cautiously and pedestrians couldn't help but avoid it, Edward had a sense of India.

Edward sat in the car, looking at the busy crowd passing by, their faces showed a bitter and sad expression, the tribulations of life had crushed their backbones, and nine times out of ten, they were hunchbacked.

Edward took a closer look, under the walls of some ruined and broken houses, some small heads were exposed, and his longing eyes looked at Edward's clothes in a stunned manner, as if he had never seen it before, and his eyes were beaded Edward understood the longing.

Soon, a broken palm pressed back a few peeking little heads, revealing a thin, weather-beaten face, the face of a twenty-something man was full of post-suffering style, and there was no laughter at this age in the future.

Edward knew that these were the result of the enclosure movement, and that the peasants, who had nothing and lost their land, had to come to the big cities of London in search of life.

Although these were the throes of capitalist development, Edward, who had been educated for more than ten years, could not accept them, and he felt that the primitive accumulation of capitalism should be carried out in a different way.

After thinking about the philosophy of life, Edward felt the carriage stop, and the voice of the coachman was heard in his ears.

"Sir! Drama Street has arrived! The groom's tone was as respectful as ever, and it was clear that he was convinced that Edward was a big man, after all, that kind of superior temperament could not be deceived.

"Really? So how much should I pay you? Edward glanced at the coachman with amusement, expecting to kill his driver, to slap himself in the face, and to brush up on his presence.

"Well, sir, you only need to give me sixpence, two pence each!"

As he spoke, the groom smiled and smiled innocently.

"Guy, give it to him!" As soon as Edward listened to the numbers, he knew that the groom had not slaughtered him severely, but had only exaggerated a little more than usual, and was a little bit of a small businessman's mind.

Having lost interest in him, Edward looked around, which was almost the innermost layer of the free area of Shoedich.

Four slightly larger theaters lined up in a row, like a fan, swans, roses, happiness, flower beds, these four theaters in turn included in Edward's eyes.

The rest of the small theaters or double theaters are arranged in the corners, like a string of pearls, the largest and the most beautiful are in the middle, and the others can only be bent to both sides.

It is said that it is a grand theater, but it is actually not big, at most the auditorium of a middle school is as big as a middle school, with two floors, but the aura is completely different from which small theaters.

Not only was the ticket office full, but the ticket price was a cut above the theater, and Edward looked at it, and the line was fifty feet long.
