With the Shaoqing of Dahonglu Temple as a guide, the feeling is obviously different, the surrounding people are not as casual as before, and they all avoid it from afar, for fear of colliding with the car.

It's just that there are more than 1,000 people in the guards brought by Cangguo plus the attendants accompanying them, so naturally there is no way to enter the city all, so they are stationed outside the city like the alliance guards of various countries, and only more than 100 people follow into the city.

Jincheng is worthy of being the largest city in the Jin Kingdom, and its prosperity is far beyond Yang Mu's cognition.

In his impression, the political system and technology of this world are very backward, and only things related to enjoyment such as clothing, food, housing and transportation are relatively developed, so it has caused him a stereotype, and subconsciously compared with ancient China, at most it is equivalent to the appearance of the Tang Dynasty in ancient China.

But seeing it today completely changed his impression.

The street is full of traffic, many people rely on the railing on the side of the bridge, or point, or watch the boats coming and going in the river, the sidewalk in the middle of the bridge, is a bustling flow of people, there are sedan chairs, some carry burdens, some drive donkeys to transport goods, some push wheelbarrows......

On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, and there are many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open space.

There are businessmen, gentry watching the street scene, hawkers, family members in sedan chairs, children of wealthy families drinking in restaurants, men, women and children, farmers and businessmen, three religions and nine streams, everything.

Maybe it's because he was born in the imperial city of the Jin Kingdom, and he is used to seeing dignitaries and dignitaries, or maybe it's because the cars of the monarchs and ministers of various countries have been used to coming and going in recent days, when Yang Mu's dragon chariot and the guards passed by, the faces of the people on the street did not have too much curiosity, and they seemed to have become accustomed to it, just let go of a road, and after the convoy passed, they did what they wanted.

This scene directly made Yang Mu feel very uncomfortable.

If it is placed in Cangguo, as long as it is a slightly more conspicuous dignitary, it can cause a commotion, and everyone's faces are full of envy and respect.

And in these Jin people, they can't see anything.

This made Yang Mu understand an idiom - sit in the well and watch the sky!

What does it mean to sit in a well and watch the sky?

That's it!

Compared with Jincheng, Cangcheng is like a grass market in the countryside, one is a prosperous metropolis, and the other is a remote town.

Rao is Yang Mu has seen several versions of the Qingming Riverside map, and I have to say that the prosperity of Jincheng has reached the peak level in Chinese history.

"Lord Hu, is your Jincheng so lively every day, or is it different from usual days because of the alliance recently?" Yang Mu asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to what the foreign ministers have seen, the alliance should have some influence on this." Seeing Yang Mu ask like this, Hu Qi felt a little proud in his heart, and explained: "But on weekdays, Jincheng is also very prosperous, and there are many night markets, if Your Majesty has leisure and elegance at night, you might as well go and see it." ”

When Yang Mu heard this, he also had some yearning in his heart, he had been in this world for nearly ten months, and he had only heard of the night market, and he had not really felt it once.

Seeing that Yang Mu was somewhat interested in Jincheng, Shaoqing Hu Qi of Dahonglu Temple was not idle and introduced Yang Mu.

Speaking of which, Jincheng, as the imperial city of the Jin Kingdom, is also the largest city, in fact, the influence is not only this, there are three cities around it in the distance, Gongwei this imperial capital, the very prosperous city that Yang Mu passed by before is one of them.

As the capital of a country, Jincheng can be said to be a rare big city in the world, whether it is the scale of the city or the momentum of the market, there is no city that can be compared.

On the convenience of geographical advantages, Jincheng is located in the rich plain, north of the big river, south of the big lake, waterway and land in all directions, it has become the largest material distribution center of the Jin country, but also for the envoys and caravans of various countries, provides a very great convenience.

The fact that the Jin Kingdom was able to become the overlord of all countries is also closely related to the fate of this city.

Back then, the Jin State was only one of the one hundred and forty feudal vassal states, and in the initial round of annexation, it quickly extinguished several small vassal states around it, barely gaining a foothold in the troubled times.

Later, the decline of the Qi State as the overlord broke out in serious civil strife, and the surrounding countries took advantage of the situation and carved up the Qi State in one fell swoop, and the Jin State thus got a piece of the pie.

With the geographical convenience of Jincheng, the Jin State quickly stood out among several countries, and after several generations of emperors, it annexed several surrounding countries one after another, and its national strength increased greatly.

After that, the Jin State rebuilt this city, and built several new wide official roads, recruited millions of people, it took 12 years, widened the river, so that the industry and commerce gathered, the shops were numerous, the famous people from all over the world came to settle down and open the museum, the literary style was prosperous, the private learning was great, and it faintly became a commercial and cultural center.

The prosperity of Jincheng led to the development of the entire Jin State, and the continuous efforts of the two generations of emperors of the Jin State successively defeated several powerful countries at that time and became the second overlord after the Qi State.

This is also why, when Yang Mu's dragon chariot entered the city, the people of the Jin Kingdom did not react much.

Because in Jincheng, even if it is not the period of the alliance, there are several times a year when the kings of various countries come to visit, and once every three years, there are envoys from various countries who come to pay tribute with carts of valuables.

Therefore, the people of Jincheng are very wealthy.

Especially the native Jincheng people, with a natural sense of superiority, often "how is the general trend of the world" talk, or "recently the emperor rewarded the prime minister with a six-entry mansion", "a few days ago, the general accepted a beautiful concubine" and other princely and general privacy anecdotes.

This makes those outsiders who go to Jincheng to do business, or travel to hear that they are envious and pantothenic acid, they can talk about the extreme desire for poverty and luxury and the extremely refined business experience in front of any foreigner, but they are ashamed to open their mouths in front of the locals in Jincheng.

This is also a helpless thing, wealth and enjoyment If you stay away from power, people will only say that you are a rich businessman, and the superiority of Jincheng locals not only comes from wealth, but also from the intricate system of elites.

Hu Qi said to himself, and he could see that he was also immersed in such a superiority.

Yang Mu just smiled, in his opinion, this has just become a hidden danger in Jincheng.

If the Jin Kingdom has always been strong, it is fine, once there is a decline, then the Jin City will soon lose its original attractiveness.

People are dignified, and they also have spiritual needs, no matter how prosperous Jincheng was, but if it becomes a place where the powerful gather and a place that excludes outsiders, it will be considered terminally ill.

About half an hour, the Honglu Temple of the Jin Kingdom arrived.

This is a very large place, guarded by heavy guards outside, just from the outside, its scale is as large as half of the palace of Cangguo.

In the end, a person dressed in the official uniform of the Shaoqing came out, played the bells and drums on the side, and after a complete set of etiquette, led by the two Shaoqing, they arrived in front of a grand building.

Although this building is not as luxurious as the Wanshou Palace, it does not lose much in terms of height and grandeur.

A guard of more than a hundred people and his retinue could easily be accommodated. ()
