The ship passed through the long canyon between the peaks of Mount Taihua and came to Xiyuan County, the capital of the Song Kingdom.

Xiyuan County is like a big wooden basin, with only a few passages in and out, and they are all male passes that cannot be opened by one husband and ten thousand people.

Xiyuan County can be said to be the best place to defend the Song Kingdom, and it is really a wise move to establish the capital here, and the Song City is in the center of the plain, on the south bank of the Song River.

The big ship went against the current, and there was no steam turbine, the speed was slow, and the ship was very large, so it took ten days after leaving Taihua City to reach Songcheng.

Song City is a super metropolis, is the power center of the Song Kingdom, and is also an extremely beautiful place, surrounded by extremely high mountain ranges for thousands of miles, the Song River Plain in the middle, and the Pingyuan County in the east is only separated by a Taihua Mountains, the Song River is the best way to enter Xiyuan County, and the others have to go over the mountains and mountains.

The most important thing is, of course, because Xiyuan County itself is a basin, excellent for the development of agriculture, and together with Pingyuan County, it is the richest place in the Song Kingdom, and even in the world.

Even if the strongest empires, the Tang Dynasty and the Great Yuan, are only strong in force, if you want to talk about economy and culture, they may still be inferior to the Song State.

Although the Song State has a developed economy, the people are weak, the resources are also lacking, and the population is relatively small, so it is actually a weak country among the neighboring more than a dozen countries, and for thousands of years, it has been oppressed by its neighbors, although it has not lost too much territory, but it is considered the most spineless country.

This is not from anyone or from books, but Ye Xing summarized it after studying the history of the Song Kingdom, and of course the officials of the Song Kingdom will not admit it.

Since the establishment of the Song Kingdom, it has not been cheered up, it has always been passable, the Song family has been bowing to the outside world in order to maintain its rule, thousands of years of tradition, the atmosphere is luxurious and decadent, there is no backbone.

The Song people respect officials and take pride in doing business, but the Song State also has many martial arts sect forces, these forces are also powerful, and the style of martial arts is not bad, of course, compared to other big countries, the Song State is really limited in strength.

It is not that the Song people are weak, but the internal discord and long-term internal friction of the Song State, which is also caused by the national policy of blindly favoring peace.

The big ship docked at the dock and wanted to enter the capital, which was to be fully registered, that is, to record everyone's situation in detail, fortunately, when he left the East China Sea and went to sea, Ye Xing asked his master Li Xuantong to get identity documents for everyone, these things have always been with him, but the two girls did not.

This also didn't bother Ye Xing, so he inquired, asked a special combat team member to go to a nearby place to give the silver, and gave the two girls identity documents, recognizing them as newly bought maids, and after stopping for two days, they could finally enter Song City.

Song City is in the shape of a nine-petal flower, one petal and one gate, the city wall is extremely thick and extremely high, and the city wall can run two horses side by side, very wide, this is one of the world's famous fortified cities;

It is said that for tens of thousands of years, except for the internal chaos, no foreign tribe has ever been able to attack here, and the city is actually crisscrossed by ditches, and there are mountains and rivers, and there is no fear of any siege.

The three gates on the north side of Song City all lead directly to the Song River, and the boats are not allowed to enter the city, Ye Xing and the others entered from the north gate by the Song River, and five people were left on the big boat.

Because he decided to live in Songcheng for a while, Ye Xing directly found a small inn near the north gate to live, one room per person, and chartered 30 rooms, and asked about the inn, which was only 36 small rooms, and then simply covered the inn directly, of course, after letting the original few guests send away, it was all inclusive.

Ye Xing directly paid the boss 1,000 taels of silver, chartered the entire inn, and asked the boss to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner were decided when eating.

When the innkeeper saw that there was such a big business, he was full of joy, and immediately closed the door of the inn, because there was no longer any need to open for business, and only a side door was left for everyone to enter and exit.

Ye Xing saw that it was better, quieter, and not disturbed, so he was completely satisfied with this arrangement.

When I entered the city, it was morning, and I set my residence, and it was not yet noon, Ye Xing asked everyone to arrange their own trips, and he and his two daughters went out to find food.

As the national capital, Songcheng is a big city with millions of people, and there are countless houses outside the city, so the entire Song capital is actually a population of millions of people, and the neighborhood itself is the main grain producing area and a basin, which has always been the most populous place.

Song Cheng is the big city that the two women yearn for the most, and Ye Xing doesn't have too many ideas, of course, when he comes here, he also appreciates more differences, which is the original intention of doing the world.

With many experiences, the two girls also pretended to be commoners, and they also wore headscarves to cover most of their appearances.

As for Ye Xing, he still looks like a businessman and an upstart, and the two girls are half a step behind him.

As the national capital, everything is really huge, the main buildings that can be seen are extremely grand and luxurious, and many people in the city have their own temperament, speech, manners, and clothing have that sense of superiority.

The three of them walked on the wide streets, except for the large number of people, that is, the carriage, in Song City, except for the general of the city guard, no one else could ride a horse, and the carriage was the main means of transportation.

Different from the chaos of other cities, the north city of Songcheng, the main street is straight, both sides are shops and restaurants are also extremely neat, and all of them are three or four floors of wood and stone small buildings, although the architectural styles are different, but there is a sense of harmony, the flow of people is like weaving, the cars and horses are continuous, and the voices of people are boiling.

In the business district of Beicheng, there are also a lot of cultural landscapes, speaking of which it has actually become the national capital for thousands of years, the thousand-year-old capital, it is too long, and it has accumulated a lot, and it is indeed one of the most prosperous cities in the world.

The prosperity of Song City definitely surpasses the big cities that Ye Xing knew in his previous life, and Donghai City is also very lively, it is the prosperity of chaotic business and trade, but Song City is different, not a large population, but an extremely prosperous and majestic feeling.

In fact, the three of them had no purpose, and after walking for a while, they wandered around until they were tired, so they decided to find a nearby expensive place to have a hearty lunch, which was the first thing.

After turning around, the three of them came to a luxuriously decorated restaurant, Jinghua Building, which is a famous restaurant introduced by the innkeeper.

It's actually early, a little bit before noon, but there is no place left, and under the arrangement of the guys, they are only lined up at the corner of the stairs on the first floor.

Qin Xinyue was not happy and shouted, "Man, don't you have a private room?" Find a window seat too! ”

The guy hurriedly apologized and said, "Honored guest, there is really no more, the private room has been booked early, you see, there is no place at all, your table is still temporarily added." ”

Qin Xinyue and Qin Jingxuan's faces were not good, they were very unhappy in their hearts, they looked around, it seemed that there was really no good position, so they had to sit down, Ye Xing didn't say anything, feeling that they would leave when they were full anyway, there was no need to pay attention to it.

The two girls ordered more than a dozen of the most expensive things here, but the things on the ship were too untasty, not fresh at all, and Zhong Shiwei's cooking skills were really not good, and they were far inferior to Ye Xing, but Ye Xing was rare to cook, and Ye Xing just wanted to be full.

To tell the truth, the two women have long resisted the simple food on the ship, but it is difficult to say, and they can't say it, after all, they can't cook it themselves, and it is impossible to have too good ingredients on the ship.

The three of them chatted about their perception of Songcheng and waited for the food to be served, and they were all happy about the liveliness of the national capital.

In fact, the three of them are all dirt buns, and it is the first time for such a majestic city to arrive, so it is not more exciting, but after all, it is a little fresh.

Jinghualou is also the best restaurant near the north gate, and there are not many outsiders in Songcheng every day, so the accents of the people who eat here are extremely complicated, and many times they can't understand it at all.

Ye Xing asked the two girls what they wanted when they came to Songcheng, and the two women shook their heads, really, the two of them didn't lack items at all and didn't care, they just wanted to follow Ye Xing everywhere, and Qin Xinyue added one more, eating delicious food everywhere!

After waiting for half an hour and serving the food, the three of them began to work hard and kept discussing these delicacies.

Ye Xing also asked the guy to bring the best wine here and poured a small glass for the two girls.

The two girls tasted it and felt that it was too strong and didn't drink it, while Ye Xing felt that it was just average, in fact, it was still far from the spirits in his memory, although he was not an alcoholic and couldn't taste wine, but he could still tell the good from the bad.

If Ye Xing made his own wine and sold it in Songcheng, he would definitely make a fortune, but now he no longer had the idea and requirement to make money, so he smiled and drank light wine, which was just a drink.

I don't have any ideas about what to do or what I can do when I come to Songcheng, so let's play for a while.

Ye Xing himself said that it was really an aimless trip, just to increase knowledge.
