After Zhou Bai put away the dragon scales and the young dragon horns, he saw that there was nothing unusual around, and no one else saw the situation here, so he walked to the place where there was noise in the distance.

Now he is no longer in the Tianning port in the north of the river, but was brought to the south of the Tianjiang River by the dragon king of the Ningjiang River, and there is also a huge ferry port here, which forms a lively bazaar.

Walking into the bazaar, Zhou Bai first found a noodle stall and leisurely ate a bowl of Yangchun noodles with eggs, and then inquired about the location of the post station.

From here to Shenjing, where Zhongzhou is located, you need to go through four large states in a straight line.

On the way, it is not that there is no river that connects with the Tianjiang River, and if he takes the waterway, of course, it will be a day or two faster, but he can't leave the scenery behind.

What's more, this is also the first time he has set foot in the south of the Tianjiang River in his two lifetimes, and he can just experience the customs and topography of the south by land.

Soon, Zhou Bai went deep into the bazaar and found the official post station that doubled as an inn, Dadukou Post Station.

Explaining his intention and showing his identity documents, Zhou Bai immediately received a warm reception from Yicheng.

Yicheng, in charge of the guard of honor, carriages and horses, and the things of greeting and sending off in the post station, according to the Daxu example, do not enter the product.

However, because this post station is located in a crowded ferry market, there is more business during busy times, so it is greatly repaired.

There are several mansions in a row, and more than 300 guest rooms are owned by the post station, with a total of 80 post guards, and hundreds of service personnel such as grooms, cooks, and handymen.

Therefore, the power of this Dadukou post is still not small, and he receives a salary according to the grade of the priest, and puts it in the county office, which is also the head of the six houses.

In such a place as the ferry market, the wealth that circulates every day is unknown, and then they asked for permission from above and took up part-time jobs.

Official and family affairs must be done, and private business can be done when available, most of the pumping is handed over, and a small part is kept to maintain the development of the post station.

If it is placed at the beginning of the founding of Daxu, of course, it is impossible, but now Daxu has been three hundred and twenty-six years, and there are all kinds of problems that should be in the later period of the feudal dynasty.

The taxes collected by the imperial court are decreasing year by year, and allowing the postmen to use them is only a microcosm of the financial constraints.

It's just that these are not the problems that Zhou Bai is thinking about at the moment, and he soon saw his own jingjiaoma, jumping around and blood as usual.

The manger is full of fine grain and minced meat, and there is no shortage of eggs, it seems that this post station has experience in raising horses.

Zhou Bai soothed the excited scene, and while untying the rope for him, he asked, "How many days have I been here for this Jiaoma, how much silver do you calculate?" ”

Speaking of the silver, Yi Cheng's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said, "This is a caravan left here two days ago, or forget the silver." Whether you are Xie Yuan, or go to Shenjing for the imperial examination, the imperial court has a waiver. ”

Two days ago, it wasn't bad, the Dragon King of Ningjiang flew over with him, but the scenery was by boat, at least ten days.

Zhou Bai didn't fail to see the pain that flashed on Yi Cheng's face, and he knew how well he could eat it.

So he took out twenty taels of silver and threw it to Yi Cheng, and said with a smile: "The reduction and exemption of the imperial court is for normal travelers, they can spend a few dollars for accommodation and dinner, and you can't reduce my Jiaoma." ”

"The extra money was exchanged for dry food and water for the road, and some beans for the horses to eat."

"Haole, don't worry, the cakes baked by our master are all said to be delicious by the big and small officials passing by." Yi Cheng took the silver and smiled, this time he met a generous customer, not only did he not lose, but he also had to earn.

At this time, he did not have the self-restraint of being a "minister" of the imperial court, but he was all money first, and he was a businessman.

Soon, Zhou Bai finished tidying up, hung the burden on the body, and went out.

"There is still one person in that caravan who stays at the post station as a helper, if you don't call him over, you can ask about the news of the caravan, and maybe you can catch up." Sent all the way out of the post station, Yicheng seemed to remember something.

Zhou Bai had actually discovered the mark left by Xuan Yiwei a long time ago, but he still shook his head: "It's okay, I prefer to travel alone." ”

"You walk well, you can pass through Sizhou along the straight road, and go straight to Zhongzhou Shenjing, I wish you the title of the gold list, and the villain can also be happy."

……

It was February 16 when he set off, and the start time of spring was March 20, and he was about to arrive in a month, so Zhou Bai didn't dare to slack off.

Along the way, except for letting the scenery rest and replenish his strength, eating and sleeping, he basically spent the whole time on horseback, day and night.

And in order to make the physical strength of the scene more sufficient, Zhou Bai stuffed it with a few spirit fruits from the Dragon Palace and ate them.

He was already smart, but now he is a little wise, and he can understand what he says.

When you encounter a post station or you are hungry, you will stop, scream to wake up Zhou Bai to feed and drink, and if you encounter a dangerous character on the way, you will be more vigilant and careful.

Finally, with the help of the scenery, Zhou Bai arrived in Zhongzhou on March 10, and entered Shenjing on March 15.

Even if it's all straights, crossing a state in an average of seven days, it's unimaginable.

It can be said that this should be the limit of the speed of the road, in addition to the extraordinary means.

Of course, riding a horse is not a mortal means, but mortals can control it, and it is barely among them.

Somewhere in a mountain outside Shenjing City, Zhou Bai found a deep pool to cool down and take a bath.

At this time, it was bubbling with a trace of white gas, which was caused by running with all its might, boiling blood and blood, and not having time to dissipate heat.

The original brocade charcoal-like hair has also been hidden by the dust, except for the slightest grace of the body.

Ignoring the sa huan who jumped into the deep pool, catching fish in the water, Zhou Bai stared at the top of the mountain and watched the Shenjing City.

Not with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that there could be a city as big as this, even if he could only peek into a corner of the hill, he could feel the boundless spirit.

The moat channel is like a big river rainbow, which surrounds it, and it is not a pontoon bridge that cannot be passed.

What's even more outrageous is that the outer Guo city wall is as high as a hundred zhang, three hundred and twenty miles from east to west, six hundred and fifty miles from north to south, and there is a floor of turret on the city hundred steps.

From a distance, you can vaguely see the continuous palaces in the city, and you can also see the tide of people.

How majestic it is!

According to records, the permanent population of Shenjing City is 10 million, and the garbage produced every day alone can fill the mountains at the foot of Zhou Bai.

The golden city is twelve, and the clouds are out of the surface.

If 10,000 households are not different, thousands of doors are similar.

If the carriage and horse fly like a dragon, the long Qu is endless.

Half a day later, Zhou Bai led the Shenjun through the city gate inspection and officially entered the outer city of Shenjing.

It stands to reason that he wants to go straight into the inner city, because that is where the core of Shenjing is located, even if it is the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites who went to Dianmao, it is also inside.

However, Zhou Bai was not in a hurry to find an inn, nor was he in a hurry to sign up, but first deposited the scenery in the paid horse farm set up by Taifu Temple, and wandered around the streets and alleys of the outer city.

If you really want to know a city, you still have to come to these places with the most fireworks.

After all, the market is long and alleyy, and when it gathers, it is fireworks, and when it is spread out, it is the world......
