Later generations wrote: "At night more than a thousand years ago, the cities of the world were pitch black, and only the cities of China were brightly lit and bright. At night more than 1,000 years ago, the world's cities were quiet, and only China's cities were crowded with people, singing and laughing. ”

At that time, the largest cities in Europe, London, Paris, France, Venice, Florence and other cities in Italy were no more than 10,000 people, while Tokyo, the capital of China, had a population of 1.5 million in the Song Dynasty.

It was the largest city in the Great Song Dynasty and the largest city in the world, and its prosperity and wealth far surpassed any other region on the earth at the same time.

This is the political, economic and cultural center of the Great Song Dynasty, with the most splendid civilization of mankind and the world's greatest craftsmen and most advanced craftsmanship.

It is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty - Tokyo Bianliang.

Tokyo and Bianliang, referred to as Bian, are the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, built Kaifeng Mansion, and have been the capital of the Song Dynasty for more than 160 years, after nine generations of emperors.

The city of Tokyo is more than 30 kilometers wide, composed of three cities: the outer city, the inner city and the imperial city, and is a majestic, large-scale, splendid capital, with a population of more than one million.

The great painter Zhang Zeduan vividly depicted the prosperous scene of Kaifeng City in Tokyo with reality as the background in the huge painting scroll "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", which made future generations sigh.

Whether it is the depiction of the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" or the retrospection of later generations, all of them show that the core position of Tokyo Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty and even the world is unshakable.

This is the strength of the imperial capital, and it is also where it is invincible, even if the peak is developing in Jingdong Road, its comprehensive strength cannot surpass it, after all, it almost gathers most of the country's wealth there, and it can't be rich if you want to.

In other words, the reason why the peak development of Jingdong Road is confident is mainly due to the fact that Jingdong Road is closer to Tokyo. Tokyo has the largest consumer group, which is the support of development and is extremely beneficial to the development of Jingdong Lianglu.

Someone once made an analogy that if you find a random person on the streets of Tokyo, if he himself is either rich or expensive, he will definitely be rich or expensive if he counts up three generations.

This is not necessarily true, but it also goes some way to suggesting that Tokyo is a place where the powerful gather. The people who live here cannot gain a foothold without a certain family or power.

A person who is rich is not rich, if most of Tokyo is like this, then the strength is quite terrifying, and the benefits of being backed by such a big mountain are naturally not small.

There are many rich and noble people in Tokyo, which is good for development, but there are also huge problems, and the biggest problem is that these people do not play according to the routine at all because of their strong background, and it is not surprising that there are some forced buying and selling, or bullying people because of the situation. Therefore, in order to gain a foothold in Tokyo, it is necessary to have the power that others cannot shake.

Naturally, this concern does not exist for Gao Feng. He had already arranged for Li Pu to be stationed in Kaifeng Mansion, not only the store was booming, but also the interpersonal relationship was solid, if he was added to the title of the feudal official, no one dared to provoke him.

Of course, this "no one dares to mess with" refers to ordinary people, for those "giants", the peak is still an order of magnitude worse, if you are careful, it is not ten thousand insurance.

Even so, Gao Feng is not without means, if he is really pressed, who wins and who loses, it's just that he doesn't want to make more trouble.

Therefore, Gao Feng is still very low-key, especially in the development of his previous store. Although his store has a good business, he never monopolizes, does not expand, and does not suppress other stores, so he can safely exist among many peers.

Of course, this is only the previous store, and it is also the development strategy of the previous peak, but when he came to Tokyo in person, his mind has changed, and he has decided to stop being so cautious and adopt the craziest and most distinctive way to run it.

That's right, it's crazy and distinctive, this is Gao Feng's way of taking the initiative, and it's also his way of letting go, because he knows that time is running out, he must gain more power in the most limited time, and money and materials are the most important components of his power.

However, this is just a later story, and it is also a decision of Gao Feng, for him who has just arrived in the capital, he has to find out the situation accurately and thoroughly, and only when he is familiar with the situation can he fight a sure battle.

……

A group of several people approached Bianliang City, and Li Pu had already received the news and brought people to wait there.

Although Gao Feng was an official of the imperial court, because he had been to the capital, the imperial court had not yet given him the mansion, so he could only prepare his own residence.

Of course, there are his own shops in the city, and there are also some manors outside the city, these are peak industries, and he naturally has no shortage of places to live.

Li Pu came here to greet him, and after some greetings, he asked what Gao Feng meant, whether he would inspect outside the city first, or go directly to the city?

Gao Feng thought about it for a while and decided to go to the city first. Most of his manors are in the south of the city, and he came from the north of the city, and it is a long way to get to the south of the city, so it is more convenient to go directly into the city.

Li Pu received the order, led the group to the city, registered at the city gate, and soon entered the city.

From the outside, the city of Tokyo is magnificent, and you only know what prosperity is when you come to the city, and even if you see the peak of the big city in the future, you can't help but sigh, this is what a Tokyo should look like.

I saw that the long street stretched into the distance, as if there was no end in sight. The long street is wide and flat, clean and neat. There are countless shops lined up on both sides of the street, they are lined up, busy and orderly, and it seems that business is booming. Pedestrians on the street come and go, there is an endless stream of people, there are greetings, there are farewells, there are loitering, there are hurrying, and so on, and so on, everyone has their own things, but they do not interfere with each other.

Gao Feng looked all the way over, and he saw that people were busy and comfortable, leisurely and comfortable, this is a transcendent mentality of living in the imperial capital, and no one would worry about a different fate in the next moment. They only think about life rather than survival, and what they do is for Chang'an rather than a small plan, because no one will worry about accidents at the feet of the emperor.

This is a scene of prosperity and prosperity, it is what the imperial court wants to see, and it is also the scene that people are most willing to enjoy, to be able to live here, people are very satisfied and happy, but few people think too much, too far.

This is the reason for a long-term comfortable life, it brings the habit of living in peace, and abandons the belief of thinking about danger, as for whether there is a crisis coming, how to deal with it when it comes, there is a court there, as a small people, or less leisure.
