Chapter 416: Traveling in the Capital (1)
Next, Wang Lang and the two envoys of Dekangba talked casually for a while, and then asked the two to send them back to rest.
After the two left, Wang Lang and the ministers discussed the proposal for Newru.
Wang Lang was very interested in the matter of trade, and although the courtiers of the Xia Kingdom sneered at the so-called Dekangba Empire, they were still very interested in the gifts they brought, and those golden handicrafts left a very deep impression on them.
If trade could exchange these things, most of the officials also felt that the matter could be tried, and the rest of the officials did not express their opinions on the matter, and chose a wait-and-see attitude.
In the end, with the consent of the majority, the Xia State decided to open some treaty ports as trading places with the Dekang Ba people, but those merchants could only operate in the designated area, and it was really impossible for them to enter the Xia mainland.
A few days later, Nuru signed a trade agreement with Wang Lang with great excitement, and although he did not know what this paper document could do, seeing that the emperor of mankind attached so much importance to it, he solemnly put away the document written in Xia and Dinosaur scripts.
At this point, Newru's mission as the envoy of Dekang was successfully completed, although it was inevitable that it was a little regrettable that it could not spread the religious beliefs of the Old World here in the Xia Kingdom, but compared to what it obtained, it still felt that the trip was extremely successful.
Moreover, Wang Lang also allowed their group of explorers to operate within the Xia Kingdom, but only when they were accompanied by human officials, and they had to report their whereabouts at any time.
From this it can be seen that humanity is still full of distrust of them, but for Nuru, this is already an unexpected result.
After the agreement was signed, Nulu and the others could be said to be truly free, at least in the capital, without being confined to that small courtyard.
Compared to Newru's good mood, Dehabora, as his friend, was indeed depressed, and he hadn't said a word to Newru for several days since he learned Newru's true identity one day.
At this time, it felt that this friend, who had grown up together since childhood, had become so strange, and the purpose of coming to Xia Country was no longer so simple, but full of conspiracy.
Nuru knew his friend very well, and knew that this guy was very old-fashioned, and he was a little bit of a bull, and he passed by believing that De Haborah would understand him sooner or later.
Standing in the courtyard, he looked at the room where Dehapola lived, shook his head, called a few attendants, and walked towards the door.
Being able to move freely, it's not the same, it's been staying in this palm-sized courtyard and waiting for death, taking this opportunity not to get to know the human capital well, wouldn't it be in vain.
Out of the courtyard gate, the human soldiers guarding the door just glanced at Nuru and his party lightly, and didn't pay much attention to it, they had already received orders and knew the attitude of the imperial court towards these people.
Seeing that the human soldiers really did not embarrass himself, Nuru couldn't help but put his mind at ease, straightened his clothes, and walked up the human streets with his head held high.
The place where Nulu and others live is a relatively remote place in Yancheng, which is generally the office of various yamen, so few merchants or small vendors come here to do business.
Walking through the slightly deserted streets, Nuru knew it would take a little further to reach the city's busiest part.
Looking at the houses on both sides of the street, Nuru nodded and said secretly: "The people in power here are indeed much better at governing the country than Dekangba. ”
Soon after, Nuru came to one of the most prosperous streets in Yancheng, where there were many shops and restaurants, the sound of hawking was endless, and occasionally a patrol of officers and soldiers could be seen walking through the street in a neat line, and the ordinary people seemed to be accustomed to it.
What surprised Nuru even more was that these patrolling soldiers were not like ordinary Dekangba soldiers, robbing the finances of their subjects at will.
For these special faces mixed in the crowd, the people of Yancheng just looked at them curiously and withdrew their gaze, for the dinosaur people, the people are not particularly strange, those slaves who have recovered their freedom, some of them will also live in Yancheng, and some even rely on their craftsmanship to find an errand in some shops.
Therefore, Nuru and the others walked on the street, and did not attract crowds of onlookers.
Newru was also happy to do this, walking along the way, and having such a close contact with human life in the city was indeed the first time to set foot on human soil.
Although there has been a short contact in Ningyuan County, Ningyuan County is really too far behind this capital.
Although the shops and vendors sold a variety of goods, Newru could see that the goods were mainly daily necessities and food, and occasionally some decorative items were sandwiched between them, but the quantity was very small.
Nuru smiled, although he is an explorer and a fourth-class lord, but for the sale of goods, it is not ignorant, along the way, he, a business layman, can easily see that Xia Guo is a good market, those handicrafts of human beings can not be compared with Dekangba, out of the living materials are richer than Dekangba, those non-necessities are no different from garbage in its eyes.
As he walked, a very beautifully decorated building appeared in front of Newru, a huge building that stood out among the small stores and stalls.
I saw that the gate of this building was coming out, and people came in and out from time to time, and it was very popular.
Curiously, Nuru followed the human people, walked towards the building, and entered the gate, only to see a very spacious hall inside, this hall was very luxuriously decorated, and several pillars painted red stood around the house.
On the ground, there are neat pieces of narrow wooden planks, and I don't know what is painted on them, and it looks very smooth, as if walking on the deck of a human warship.
Step on it and make a soft footstep sound.
At the front of the hall was a long row of containers, in which there were people in uniform who were busy, some human people seemed to be asking something, everyone looked busy, and the arrival of a few people in Nuru did not arouse the interest of humans in the slightest.
Nuru stood aside, watching the humans in the counter, taking out one goods after another as if they were juggling, the things here were not comparable to those small vendors outside, a wide variety of items, and Newru was secretly surprised to see it.
What surprised it even more was that when a human carrying an unknown piece of meat passed by it, it could even feel a trace of coolness, knowing that the outside temperature could be hot when the iron was hot, and there was such a cold piece of meat here, such a magical thing greatly aroused its interest.
