"In the sixteenth year of Yongle, in early April. The emperor conquered Tatar and returned with the three overseas immortals. Immortal, one is called Penglai, one is called abbot, and one is called Yingzhou. With the immortal treasure boat, dragged to more than 100 meters above Kyoto, the people in the city were amazed...... Emperor Xuan: Da Ming got the immortal law and entered the immortal dynasty. ”

Over Kyoto Castle.

At the beginning of April, it was cold and the weather was unpredictable.

The sky was gloomy, sparse, and the snow was like grains of salt, mixed with a drizzle.

Above the clouds at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Led by Zhu Zhandong, who is the strongest.

After that, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong had a huge divine sense, and they set up three divine consciousness locks between the treasure ship and the immortal mountain behind.

The old man Zhu Di in the rear and the big fat Zhu Gaochi were two people, one in front of the other, and used their divine sense to control the two natal magic weapons to slowly descend.

"Where's down there?" As the hull of the ship slowly descends into contact with the sea of clouds, merging and sinking, the landform becomes clearer and clearer.

The magnificent city of Kyoto is gradually being cleaned.

"We are all the way to the south, naturally it is the north of the capital, according to the grandfather's meaning, to the north into the imperial city, and then hang horizontally above the bell and drum tower, where is the most lively place in the capital."

At this time, Zhu Zhanji explained with a smile.

Bell and Drum Tower? The liveliest place in the capital? Zhu Zhan was suddenly interested, and came to the sky above the bell and drum tower with a wisp of divine sense.

Three months have passed since the New Year.

The people of the capital have also resumed their previous busyness.

However, since the army started the northern expedition, the area around the bell and drum tower, the commercial area, the residential area, and all the daily conversations of the people revolve around three things.

The first thing is that the imperial court recruited famous doctors from craftsmen and medical families into the palace for screening and testing.

It is rumored that anyone who can stand out in the selection of the imperial court will have unexpected benefits.

Official? Wealth? Or maybe it's a field and so on.

There are even rumors that if you stand out in the selection of the imperial court, you will be divided into officers who accompany the army and make secret weapons, or famous doctors who accompany the army.

In short, the imperial court's large-scale recruitment of famous doctors and craftsmen from all over the country was a miracle among the people. Speculations, conspiracy theories, or legends have emerged.

As for all kinds of speculation among the people, the imperial court let it go, especially when it became more and more outrageous.

What is said that the imperial court found the ruins of the legendary immortals, and asked a famous doctor to refine the elixir, but refining the elixir requires tools, and these craftsmen are responsible for refining these tools.

There are still many people who want to believe this.

The second thing is the policy of planting new grain issued by the imperial court before, as well as the yield per mu of the new grain.

The people take food as the sky, and the imperial court recruits famous doctors and craftsmen, which can only be regarded as a conversation after tea and dinner.

But food is closely related to the lives of the people.

No one can ignore this, and even some restaurants, inns and restaurants have begun to introduce these new crops.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes, after being introduced into the inn restaurant, instantly exploded the food culture of Daming.

Well, the civilization of cultivating immortals has not yet appeared in Daming, and the food circle has iterated several new versions.

It's a wave of gastronomic changes!

Among them, 'peanuts' are a must-have in major restaurants, such as peanuts on sake lees, boiled peanuts, which are essential dishes for wine.

The third thing is, of course, this northern expedition.

Now the grain crops of the people of Daming are unprecedented, and I don't know why, even the natural disasters have disappeared.

All sides are unprecedentedly good, and the people have no special thoughts about the imperial court going to war.

Anyway, for them, if they are well fed and clothed, and the court does not engage in riotous operations, it is enough for His Majesty to be virtuous.

Moreover, anyway, Da Ming beats others, not being beaten, what do they have to care about!

Kyoto Castle was modified according to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.

The whole layout is built according to the principle of "the front faces the back city, the left ancestor and the right society".

The former dynasty hundred official offices are in the south of the palace, and the north is the back market.

Because the terminal wharf at the north end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which runs through the north and south, is in the pond on the west side of the Bell and Drum Tower, it has also created a prosperous scene in the future market.

A sentence of "living in the capital, three gates downstairs" can tell the general pattern of the entire later generations.

The market at the southeast corner of the building is a commercial street specializing in selling clothes, most of which are needle shops, tailor shops, shoe shops and so on.

The whole street is on the west slope to the north, close to the water river that flows out of Haizi, so there are many song platforms, taverns, and pavilions and lofts around the perimeter.

Around the Bell and Drum Tower, most of them are some vendors who carry burdens and set up stalls to sell, selling melons and fruits, furniture and makeup, flatbreads, pasta, some charcoal, pots and pans, and so on.

As the confluence of waterway traffic, the area around the Bell and Drum Tower brings together the big merchants who come and go from the south to the north, and the merchant ships and boats flow endlessly.

Thanks to the abundant harvest of sweet potatoes, the evolution of the world, the revival of Reiki and the previous development and construction, as well as the migration population, the population of Kyoto has directly increased by tens of thousands.

In the sixteenth year of Yongle, according to Xia Yuanji's statistics, the population of the capital has reached 350,000, and it is still growing.

I really look forward to the development of Kyoto City into a big city of cultivating immortals in the future, and I don't know what it should be like at that time, looking at the lively capital below, Zhu Zhan sighed secretly.

"Boom!" Just when the people of Kyoto City were busy and talking, suddenly there was a roar between heaven and earth.

This sudden sound immediately attracted the attention of all the people.

At this time, above the imperial city.

The Zhang family had already taken Princess Han and Princess Zhao and stood on the city wall.

As for the bell and drum towers.

The five elders of the cabinet led the officials of the third rank and above in the DPRK and the central government, and they also waited early.

"Dare to ask Hu Ge Lao, suddenly asked me to wait on this drum tower, what is the matter?" An official from the Ministry of Rites asked.

Someone took the lead in asking questions, and for a while, everyone looked towards the five elders, wanting to seek an answer.

Hearing this, Hu Guang, who was stopping to gaze at the northern sky, Hu Fatzi took a deep breath and came back to his senses, squinted his eyes at everyone, and finally fixed on the official of the Ministry of Rites.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." He spat out four words lightly.

Greeting Your Majesty? When the officials heard this answer, they were all stunned.

"Forehead......" This is, I saw an old man from the military department, tremblingly stepped forward and arched his hand, and said: "Three days ago, the cabinet just told me that His Majesty had just arrived in the northern grasslands. ”

The old man said, shook his head and said: "That Tatar is good at guerrilla skills, if you want to pursue, I'm afraid this big battle, to say the least, will last for several months, or even longer, and my army department ...... about this."

The old man said, and the other officials beside him also nodded.

"Boom!" However, before the old man could finish speaking, he heard a sudden roar from the sky.

For a moment, it was as if the sky had fallen.

"What's that?!" Someone suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted!

Of course, not only them but the people of the whole city were in an uproar at this moment.

Everyone watched in horror.

I saw the gloomy clouds of the sky, as if something had suddenly broken through from the inside.

Then, an even more shocking scene appeared.

It was the bow of a treasure ship with a huge hull that was pitch black.

"Shhh Rao is heart has been prepared, at this moment, the five elders of the cabinet and others saw this spectacular scene above the sky, they were still shocked physically and mentally, and they gasped one after another.

At this time, even Xia Yuanji, who was also an immortal cultivator, was staring at a pair of eyes, and an earthquake occurred in his pupils.

As for the other officials, after seeing this scene, some people were already frightened and excited and knelt down to the terrifying hull above the heavenly dome.

Such a shocking scene, in their opinion, this already belongs to the legendary fairy gods!

The people of the city behaved worse than they were.

Some people are scolding the ground, some are crying bitterly, some are crying with their heads in their arms, only to feel that the end has come and the sky has fallen.

"Get up for me, it's Your Majesty they're back!" Finally, Xia Yuanji was the first to react and said angrily.

He was very dissatisfied with the indifferent performance of some officials in the DPRK and China, and immediately angrily reprimanded him.

Although there is nothing wrong with them bowing down to the treasure ship at this moment, because Your Majesty, they are on the treasure ship and the immortal mountain behind it.

But when these people didn't know whether it was His Majesty, they began to bow down, which was a shame.

"Get up, wait until Your Majesty and they are fully revealed, and then bow down again!" The five elders of the cabinet also came to their senses.

Glancing at the three huge treasure ships of different sizes, they were heading through the clouds towards the city, and at the same time began to pacify the hundred officials.

"What?! This immortal handiwork, yes, is it Your Majesty?! Some officials widened their eyes and exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty, could it be that Your Majesty has obtained the Immortal Law?!" A group of officials were all stunned and at a loss.

Finally, under the reassurance and reprimand of the five elders of the cabinet, the hundred officials barely calmed down.

"Wait, wait with us to welcome Your Majesty's class back to the court!" Hu Guang, Hu Fatzi and Xia Yuanji glanced at each other, stepped out, and said loudly.

It's a process they've been working on for a long time.

As for why Hu Guanglai took the lead in speaking? The reason is also very simple, because the cabinet is headed by him when it comes to the outside world!

And this is also the reason why this fat man compares himself to the eldest grandson Wuji of Tang Taizong, because the head of Lingyan Pavilion is the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Yes!" Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi, Hu Yan, and Yang Rong took the lead in responding.

Seeing that the five elders of the cabinet stood up to preside over the overall situation, the hundred officials also settled down, and followed the bell and drum tower one after another.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" At this time, in the city, the commanders of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division also began to maintain order under the leadership of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

After a while, Kyoto City, which was originally chaotic and in an uproar, also became orderly at this moment.

Every day on the streets, the people are kneeling and worshipping, the commanders of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang are standing on both sides.

They were arranged by the cabinet to maintain order, just in case the people were frightened by this scene and did something disturbing.

After all, even the five elders of the cabinet, and even Xia Yuanji, an immortal cultivator, were shocked to see His Majesty playing so big, not to mention the people who had no cognitive ability themselves, or who had poor cognition.

At this time, the only people who can remain calm are those who know the inside story, such as the Admiral of Dongchang, Liu Yongcheng.

After all, he stayed with the royal people for a long time.

Moreover, he is a cultivator of refining and refining qi, and he is already immune to the use of immortal means by the royal family!

"Buzz!" A roar of vibration sounded, and at this time, the huge treasure ship above the heavenly dome was completely revealed.

"Look, behind the big ship, what's that?!"

I don't know who shouted, and then it was like a chain reaction, and everyone looked up at the sky.

I saw that behind the treasure ship, there were three huge and majestic immortal mountains shrouded in mist.
