Chapter 976: Ulan Town

The scenery along the way from Beijing to Jinzhou is obviously changing.

Out of the capital, to Bingzhou, to Yunzhou, to the border of Youzhou, from prosperous to desolate, the changes are quite obvious.

Of course, the capital is the most prosperous. There are many towns and villages around the capital. However, the further north you go, the fewer people there are.

After the annexation of the state and Yunzhou, the architectural style was very different from that of the Central Plains.

Unlike the pure wood buildings in the Central Plains, the further north you go, the more earth and stone buildings there are.

And in Youzhou, you can also see the emergence of some Central Plains customs.

But now the town of Ulan is completely unfamiliar.

There are almost no wooden houses here. The houses of the local residents are mostly built of stone. The roof is made of clay and straw.

It may be because of the wind, so the walls are high, and the houses in the town are relatively low.

There are several wooden inns here, most of which are run by merchants from the Central Plains. They seem a bit abrupt.

Although this place was also the territory of the Central Plains Imperial Court, Chu Xintian heard that Zhao Wu, most of the aborigines of Wulan Town were Liao.

This Wulan town was also the place of the Liao Dynasty a hundred years ago.

However, the northern region has not been peaceful. The town of Ulan is located at a transit point and is often mired in war. For the past hundred years, it belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty. Therefore, there are many Central Plains people in the town, including the Liao and Central Plains people, who all live here.

Since ancient times, wars have nothing to do with ordinary people. They are all games of high-ranking rulers.

Therefore, there is no ethnic hatred in the town of Ulan. The people of the Liao Dynasty lived with the people of the Central Plains and got along well.

Because of the geographical location of Wulan Town, it is the only foothold from Youzhou to Jinzhou. As a result, the town has prospered over the past hundred years.

The city is much more lively than it looks outside.

There are quite a lot of businessmen from all over the country gathered here, and the business here is naturally very developed.

After entering the city, Zhao Wu asked Ah Fu to inquire in advance. He saw several inns in the town. They have to choose where to stay tonight. After last night's accident, they had to fix it well.

Soon, there were results.

There are more than a dozen inns in this town, and the three largest of them are all run by people from the Central Plains.

Some of the rest came from the Central Plains and some from the Liao Dynasty.

The reason the three largest inns were presented separately was that they were so crowded. Therefore, only large inns can live here.

Although Wulan Town is inhabited by people from the Central Plains and Liao people, they are all Central Plains people from the capital. When they go out, they have to find people of the same race to trust. This is also a normal psychological reaction.

Because these three inns were all opened by people from the Central Plains, they also randomly chose a one called Fuxing Inn to check in.

The Revival Inn is really a big inn. It has two floors and more than a dozen guest rooms.

Recently, there has been a bandit incident in Jinzhou, and there are fewer merchants in Wulan Town, and the inn is almost empty.

Chu Xintian and his party came in and asked to rent ten rooms at a time, which made the shopkeeper very happy.

The surname of the shopkeeper of the Revival Inn is Bai. Although he is from the Central Plains, his clothes are different from those of the Central Plains. He was not wearing a formal robe of Zhongyuan Rao, but a traditional Liaorao costume, a short robe and breeches, and even a hairstyle. It looks weird.

After Chu Xintian and his party entered the door, they naturally felt strange about the white shopkeeper's clothes, and couldn't help but look at him again.

The white shopkeeper is well-informed. Seeing Chu Xintian's eyes, he smiled: "Distinguished guests, do you think I look strange?" Hey, you're from the capital, so it's normal to feel weird. Our towns are different from the traditional borders of the Central Plains. This is the place where the Central Plains people and the Liao people live together and influence each other! Although I look weird, this costume is very fashionable in the town of Ulan!"
