There are many shops on the royal street, there are many wine shops, a dazzling array of items, the busy streets, the traffic is busy, the pedestrians are bustling, the sound is noisy, the faces of the pedestrians are full of smiles, it seems to be enjoying the prosperity of Lin'an City.

Even the alleys on both sides of the Royal Street are adjacent to the shops, and the flow of people shuttles, and all kinds of people are endless.

"Lin'an City, there are too many of them!"

Walking on the street, Meng Ge and Kublai Khan, who came from the steppe, were dumbfounded.

Even those western domain cities, even the Taiyuan City of Yanjing City in the north, do not have so many people flowing, nor are they so prosperous.

"Many people on the street don't seem to be Song people, they seem to be overseas fans."

Kuo Zhu followed Meng Ge and said in surprise.

"It seems that the southerners are rich and have attracted people from overseas."

Meng Ke was amazed at the affluence of Lin'an City. As for the Song people, many people wore swords and held swords, but he didn't take it to heart.

A few women with light makeup passed by, and when they saw Meng Ge and Kuo De and others dressed in different races, they smiled, with all kinds of charms and fragrant winds.

Meng Ge and Kuo looked back unconsciously, both attracted by the gentleness and demeanor of the women.

"The beauties of Jiangnan are really beautiful and moving. Compared to the women in the Northland, it's very different! ”

Kuo took a snort of the fragrance in the air, turned his head, and praised leisurely.

"There are countless such beauties in Jiangnan. Lin'an City is rich, with gold and silver treasures like mountains. When my Mongolian army captured Jiangnan, the prince and prince, how many beauties and how many treasures they wanted, not everything! ”

The general accompanied the smiling face and flattered the two.

"Take Jiangnan? I'm afraid it won't be that easy! ”

Meng Ge's face suddenly sank, and he continued to move forward.

Kuo glared at Tong Shi and followed Meng Ge. Tong Shi made a bitter face and hurried to follow.

On the street, a man and Meng Ge came facing each other, perhaps because of the crowd, and the two touched their shoulders.

"You guy, don't want to live anymore?"

Meng Ge's eyes widened and he pushed the man.

"Excuse me! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! ”

The man nodded, apologized again and again, and left quickly.

A few people didn't care, and continued to move forward, Meng Ge subconsciously touched his waist and immediately stopped.

"Möngke, what's wrong?"

Kuode also stopped and asked in a daze.

"I've lost my purse!"

Meng Ge broke out in a cold sweat, he looked around, and caught a glimpse of the man who had just touched his shoulder, as if he was running away in a hurry.

"Catch the thief!"

Meng Ge shouted loudly, turned to chase after him, and Kuo Zhu and the others came to their senses and followed closely.

The people on the street were surprised and gave way one after another. The thief ran away, Meng Ge and others chased after him, and the man was about to turn into the alley, but was forced back by several men wearing soap suits.

The man turned around and was about to flee again, and the people from all sides surrounded the human wall and blocked the man in the middle.

"Get out of the way! Otherwise, you want to look good! ”

With no way to escape, the man took out a short knife from his waist and threatened the surrounding citizens and dukes.

"Put down the knife!"

"Do you think you'll be able to escape?"

The duke and several scholars drew their swords and held spears, and pointed at the man together. One of the dukes took a spear and pointed at the man and shouted:

"Huang San, you know my Kaohsiung's methods. If they are caught, they will be sentenced to a maximum of one or two years. If you don't put down your knife again, don't blame my spear for not recognizing people! ”

The duke was holding a spear, the momentum was pressing, "dang chang", the short knife in the man's hand fell to the ground, the whole person was listless, two dukes stepped forward, put shackles on the man's wrist, and locked it with a lock.

"Dog thief! Dare to steal the prince's money bag! ”

Meng Ge and the others squeezed through the crowd, and one of the guards beside Meng Ge pulled out his sword and was about to cut down on the thief Huang San.

"Bold!"

Although he couldn't understand what the guards were saying, Kaohsiung shouted, and the spear in his hand stabbed sharply, and the head of the spear stopped at a distance of an inch or two from the guard's throat.

The scimitar in the guard's hand could no longer be cut.

"Look for death!"

Meng Ge said loudly, pulled out the sword from the sheath, Kuo Du and the rest of the guards also drew the sword together, and the surrounding people and the other two dukes raised their swords one after another, and confronted Meng Ge and the others on the street.

Huang San hurriedly hid behind a few dukes, secretly complaining in his heart, just stealing something, why did he make such a big noise?

"Don't even do it! Don't do it! ”

The general was frightened, and quickly stood up and took out the official document of the government from his body.

"We are the envoys of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, and we have come to meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! A misunderstanding, everyone put down their swords! ”

The general muttered a few words, and Kuo and Meng Ge put their knives back into their sheaths, and the guards withdrew their weapons one after another.

"Mongol emissary? Why did you come to my big song? ”

"Let's go back! Come here and go wild! Haven't you been beaten enough? ”

"Get out of here! You are not welcome here! ”

Hearing that it was the Mongolian envoy, the people shouted one after another.

During the Hanzhong War, there were many articles in the newspapers, and the Song people naturally did not have any good impression of Meng Ge and other Mongolian envoys.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Kaohsiung, the leading public servant, withdrew his spear, waved his hand and shouted, and the onlookers quieted down.

"You are the envoys of the Mongols?"

Kaohsiung took the official document and read it carefully for a while, then returned it to the general officer, and said loudly to the surrounding onlookers:

"Let's go! Nothing's wrong! ”

Waiting for the people to leave one after another, Kaohsiung said to Meng Ge and his party:

"Huang San is my Great Song Zimin, he broke the law, and he has his own Great Song Dynasty legal sanctions. You are in my Great Song Dynasty, and it is best to abide by the law. Otherwise, they will be punished by the law. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Certain! Certain! ”

The general nodded again and again, and the duke picked up the money bag and asked Meng Ge and the others:

"Can you prove that this is your purse?"

The general interpreter, Meng Ge explained, the public verified that it was correct, and handed the money bag to the general officer. Meng Ge took the money bag, took out a gold ingot and handed it to Kaohsiung, but the latter immediately refused.

"As a street clerk, receiving personal property is an aggravated crime. There are millions of people in Lin'an City, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Take care of your belongings, and if you have anything, you will go to the patrol of the street department to find us. ”

After the public finished speaking, he pointed at Huang San and hated it.

"You kid, shame on the Tatars, wait for a heavy sentence!"

Kaohsiung and the others escorted Huang San away, looked at his back, and shook his head gently.

"It's really rare for officials who don't collect money! Yelu Chucai's subordinates, I'm afraid there are not many such officials. ”

Meng Ge was noncommittal, and suddenly opened his mouth and asked the general:

"Li Fu, what did those southerners shout just now?"

"Prince Möngke, they just said that our Mongolian envoys are not welcome here, let us go back quickly!"

Li Fu, the general, did not dare to hide it, and replied truthfully.

"Let's go back!"

Meng Ge snorted coldly in his nose.

The people of the Song Dynasty were not kind to their group, and he could tell from the expressions of the people.

"These people in the south are so hostile to our Mongolian country, when the time comes, my Mongolian iron cavalry will go south, and we must kill them to the point of bleeding, and not a single one will be left!"

Meng Ge was annoyed, and one of the guards next to him scolded angrily.

"When the time comes, go south, rob here, and burn Lin'an City, then it will be comfortable!"

The other guard then said indignantly.

"The southerners are strong and strong, with such a population, how many soldiers do they have? It's hard to deal with! ”

He let out a sigh and frowned.

No wonder my father let himself be an envoy to the Song Dynasty and had a long experience. The Song Dynasty was rich and strong, with a large population, and if you want to deal with it, you really have to put some effort into it.

"It's a pity that I can't get the firearms of the Nanren, it's really frustrating!"

Meng Ge shook his head, his mood seemed to be much worse.

Several people walked forward, and their eyes were attracted by the pendulum in front of a shop, and everyone stepped forward and entered the store.

"Shopkeeper, is your pendulum on time? What do these grids mean? ”

Kuodi looked at the pointer in the glass cover and asked curiously.

Steam boats, horse-drawn carriages, sewers, running water, etc., there are so many strange things in the south.

"Great officials, you are from overseas."

The shopkeeper saw that Meng Ge and the others were dressed extraordinarily, with a smile on their faces, and came up in person to introduce them in detail.

"Great official, the 12 squares on the dial represent 12 hours, 24 hours in a day, that is, 12 hours; The long needle turns 1 circle, the middle needle turns 1 small grid, which is 1 minute; The middle needle turns 1 turn, the middle needle turns 1 small square, which is 1 hour; Three days on the clockwork, this is it. Replace the spring once every 2-3 years, and no money is charged. Warranty 5 years, if there is a quality problem within 5 years, it will be replaced free of charge. ”

"How much does this big cost? How much smaller? ”

After some explanation, Kuo Zhu continued to ask:

"The big one is 100 silver yuan, and the small one is 150 silver yuan, and it can be delivered to your lodgings, or to the dock."

The hospitality of the shopkeeper has obviously received such guests.

"Why is the small one more expensive than the big one? You're not cheap, you can't be a deceit, right? ”

Meng Ge couldn't help but burst out.

"Big official, don't you know that the pendulum is a fine thing, the smaller it is, the more difficult it is, and the more expensive it is. If you really want it, the big one will charge you 85 silver yuan, and the small one 125 silver yuan. In the whole of Lin'an City, there is nothing cheaper than us! ”

The shopkeeper's oath and thoughtful service made him unable to bear to refuse and nodded.

"Buy two for each size, and send them to the Duting Post House when the time comes, don't break it!"

The pendulum can be given to the mother to improve the mother-child relationship. As for the pendulum, of course, it was my father's Wokotai or someone else.

"Don't worry! Great officials! When the time comes, it will be packed for you, and it will be fine to take the boat and carriage! ”

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded again and again.

The pendulum produced by Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Division is of good quality, not to mention that if there is a problem, it will be repaired and replaced immediately.

"Brother Meng, do you want to buy two for yourself?"

Kuo took out a gold collar of 50 taels and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"I'll think again."

Meng Ge was moved, but he still didn't decide on the spot.

The shopkeeper checked and weighed the gold collar, took out 5 silver yuan, and handed it to Kuo Zhu together with the bill.

"Great officials, the price of gold and silver is one to ten, silver taels are exchanged for silver dollars for 100 to 85, 50 taels of gold is 425 silver yuan, and the same is true for banks. You're all set! ”

Kuo nodded and put away the silver round and bills.

After entering the Song Realm, they already have some understanding of the new things such as Yinyuan and the bank.

"It's wide, I think it's rare, it's enough to buy one, why buy so much?"

Meng Ge said puzzled.

"Pendulums, soaps, matches, glass, porcelain, etc., I just want to see if I can make them in Mongolia?"

Kuo whispered, which seemed to have another deep meaning.

Everyone passed by a school, and the sergeant on duty at the entrance of the school stood with a gun, his eyes did not squint, and the stone did not move at all.

Meng Ge and Kuo glanced at each other, both secretly frightened.

Such a fierce guard, with a frosty face, is probably a retired soldier in the army.

Meng Ge looked through the iron door of the school, and on the playground, one class of students was practicing stabbing skills, and the other group was running, with the same pace and uniformity.

Kuo De and the others all turned their heads and looked towards the playground together.

"Thorn! Harvest! Stab! ”

The teacher's commands continued, and those young students spoke in unison, and the spears were stabbed and retracted, and their voices were immature, but they made Meng Ge and the others chill.

Practicing martial arts at such a young age, all the people of the Southern Dynasty were soldiers, and 70 million people, is this still possible?
