Chapter 162: Department Store Collection
"What kind of situation is the best district in the capital?"
With such curiosity, Zhang Ran came to the capital of Dayue:
γLuojingγ!
Probably because this world was originally a world with a Chinese historical background.
Although the Xianxia content is extremely high, and after the forcible intervention of the traverser, it is no longer the Huaxia world that Zhang Ran is familiar with, but some basic things have not changed.
For example, the topography has a pleasant climate in the Central Plains, and there is also a cold and barren extreme north, the south is humid and hot, the west is arid, and the southeast is close to the sea.
There are all kinds of them, no different from the previous life of China, and even the capital is set in the place corresponding to the ancient capital of China in the previous life "Luoyang".
In the middle of this world, there is also a "Luoshui", on the sunny bank of Luoshui, it is the capital of Dayue [Luojing]!
According to the historical records, in fact, this place was originally called "Luoyang", named after "Luoshui Yang", just because Emperor Taizu deliberately changed the name of the place, at least the official name was changed to "Luojing".
However, the folk also have a continuation of the ancient name, and the "Luojing" is called Luoyang, after all, it is difficult to change the political customs, and Emperor Taizu has changed it in vain......
"Luojing built the capital for more than 1,000 years, and the Yue Emperor lived here for generations, and after the management and governance of the emperors of the past dynasties, it has always been maintained in the position of the most prosperous city in the whole world."
"Luojing and the surrounding areas have a permanent population of more than one million, reaching the carrying limit of feudal society, all industries are prosperous, and the people live in peace, which is a real prosperous ......"
Zhang Ran sighed leisurely, this kind of feudal empire that has maintained its peak state for more than a thousand years, even if it uses spells to support its operation, is simply unheard of, far surpassing the previous dynasties.
"Huh! Flourishing? I think it's fragile! β
The ontological emotion, but the incarnation of the primordial god sprayed mercilessly:
"Although this kind of dynasty is at its peak, it completely violates the normal trend of social development, and it relies on magic to maintain this fragile prosperity."
"Once you lose the extraordinary power such as spells, you will collapse almost immediately, and the whole world will fall into the most tragic situation, in a word, if you don't carry out fundamental changes in productivity and production relations, what spells maintain will always be a false peak!"
Well?
Zhang Ran thought about it and couldn't help but nodded:
"You're right, but the transcendent world has its own transcendent power, and if you want this prosperous world to collapse, I guess you'll have to wait until the so-called [Age of the End of the Law]......"
The two looked at each other, no matter what they thought in their hearts, but they still smiled on their faces.
Feudal society is feudal society, as long as it can be stable in the prosperous era for hundreds or thousands of years, the feudal society will not be too bad, at least the common people will like such a prosperous era very much......
Moreover, what is the situation in this world, and what is the matter with him, a small border county?
It's just that people have nothing to worry about!
Whew~
The tiger was woken up by their chatter, opened his confused eyes, looked at the majestic giant city in the distance, and couldn't help but whine in annoyance:
It's this kind of ghost place where two-legged beasts are gathered again, and this king hates the city the most......
"yes, that's right!"
Zhang Ran was reminded by the tiger's cry, so he said solemnly:
"After entering the city, you must not show anything extraordinary, from now on, you are a cat, the scientific name is Siberian Golden Gradient ......"
Oh? What the hell is the scientific name?
"Ah Qing, you are a strange-looking ordinary mutant snake, whose scientific name is poisonous snake Qingjiao......"
Ah Qing didn't pay attention to this neurotic at all, so he didn't hear his compulsion, and only swallowed the spiritual energy in his mouth.
Compared to cultivation, it doesn't matter what exactly this neuropathy says......
"As for you......"
Zhang Ran set his eyes on the avatar, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.
"I know, I'm a handsome ordinary human, whose scientific name is Homo erectus......"
The Genshin incarnation snorted angrily.
ββ¦β¦β
Zhang Ran rolled his eyes:
"Don't talk about calves, I mean, how are you going to get into the field of vision of dignitaries? You don't want to say directly in front of the public that you can refine the elixir, right? No, no, no, no......"
"Mountain people have their own tricks."
The avatar smiled confidently.
β¦β¦
The surrounding area of Luojing is densely populated, almost no worse than the medium-sized cities of the previous life, with Luojing as the center, forming a circular layout similar to that of Yanjing in the previous life.
Zhang Ran and the two had already passed through these ringed urban areas, and there were occasional official errands on the road for interrogation, so Zhang Ran took out a green jade token engraved with the word "learning".
The identity of the Tai student is naturally useful, especially the Beijing officials who know the status of these "Tai Scholars and Masters", they are even more refreshed and let go, and they are still warm and enthusiastic on the road.
I'm embarrassed to make Zhang Ran so embarrassed......
Passing through the tall city gate like this, the two of them officially entered this thousand-year-old imperial capital!
Along the way, there are many residents in the city, and all kinds of shops are also dazzling, and the wide street market is full of people, and the occasional donkey cart, ox cart, and trolley pass by, but it is also orderly and does not appear chaotic at all.
There are shouting voices, soliciting customers, talking and laughing, bustling, a good picture of the prosperity of the people's livelihood!
Zhang Ran and the avatar, two curious babies from the countryside, looked around and saw many unheard of items:
What is the pearl of the East China Sea, what is the white bear of the Far North, what is the exotic fruit of the South Sea, what is the treasure of the Western Regions.
Merchants not only have the Central Plains people, but also the Hu people of the Western Regions, as well as the grassland herdsmen, the special products from all over the country are gathered here, and the department stores are all there, and it is really prosperous!
What particularly caught Zhang Ran's attention was that some merchants from the border regions would boast that their goods were from foreign countries such as "a certain country in the Western Regions", "a certain country in the South Seas", and "island countries in the East China Sea".
But according to the history books, Emperor Taizu wiped out all the ethnic states, and the Yue Dynasty regime he established was the only orthodox human race, and there was no extraterritorial state!
Although the history books cannot be trusted, there is really no need to write and avoid this kind of thing, and the only explanation is that these so-called "extraterritorial countries" are actually demon countries......
"So, doesn't this mean that some demon countries are not hostile to the Vietnamese Dynasty, but instead trade with each other and establish diplomatic relations?"
Zhang Ran felt that it was quite strange, the inherent impression that demons and people always fight to the death has been challenged, and some demon kingdoms in the world have a good relationship with the Yue Dynasty!
"Nonsense! The emperor of the Yue Dynasty is not the chief of the Taqing Dynasty, how can a normal monarch completely close the country, as long as the people of the Yue Dynasty explore outside, they will always encounter the demon country. β
"The occasional leak of extraordinary information is harmless, the key is to block the news from the majority of ordinary people, giving them the illusion that there are indeed other human kingdoms outside the territory......"
The incarnation of the original god shook his head, asked the main body for a dozen taels of silver, and then began to shop with great interest to satisfy his curiosity and desire to shop......
"This guy!"
Zhang Ran glanced at him helplessly, knowing that he had other plans, so he didn't care about him anymore, only shook the green snake that had been in his sleeve before entering the city, and said in a low voice:
"Hold your sleeves tight, lest you fall out later, and be killed by Mr. Taixue......"
"Shut your foul mouth! Miss Ben will surely outlive you! β
"Cut!"
Zhang Ran touched the tiger on his shoulder again, and thought silently:
The pet snake is too scary to take it out, so the orange cat doesn't have such a restriction, right?
Well, although this cat looks like a tiger and barks like a tiger, as long as I am sure that it is a Siberian gold gradient and a new breed, no one should be too suspicious......
