Chapter 1230: What the Imperial Capital Sees
"This is the imperial capital. Looking at the tall buildings in the distance, the city like a rocky jungle, Ma Runing sighed again.
She felt that she had used up all the sighs of her life along the way.
As soon as she stepped out of the train station, she felt that it was bustling and completely different from other cities.
There was a bustling flow of people everywhere.
The capital of Great Xia is also very prosperous, but it is completely different from this.
"Baked sweet potatoes, baked eggs!"
"Roasted corn, roasted sausages. ”
"Scorpions, there are all kinds of poisonous scorpions, even if the Supreme Heaven sucks a mouthful, it can be fluttering!"
"Lamb skewers, lamb skewers...... Quartet heaven-level alpine curved horned sheep, twenty yuan a string, no money if it's not delicious!"
Ma Runing smelled the smell of food, and his spirit all the way to the road improved, and he looked around, only to see that there were people everywhere, and there were snack streets on both sides outside the train station.
"Map, the latest map of the imperial capital, marked with subway and bus lines, a must-have for newcomers!
"I'll take a look first!" Ma Runing's heart moved and said.
"Look, I'm the latest version, bus lines, subway lines, major markets, shopping malls, tourist attractions, and even some well-known shops, everything! With this, even if you come to the imperial capital for the first time, you can travel alone. "The boy is not very old, but his eyes are very poisonous, his mouth is fast, and there is a row of bamboo tubes hanging behind his back.
Untie one, open the lid, and pull out a roll of the map.
Ma Runing took it and opened it, it was a very beautiful map, one meter long and wide, every location of the imperial capital, including the imperial palace, was marked on it, and the area was divided by color, and the bus routes were marked with lines of different colors.
There is also a row of words below: Zizhu College printing, 94 years of the Great Yao Calendar.
I have to say that this map is much more elaborate and detailed than the official map of Great Xia.
"I want it. Ma Runing put away the map and said.
"1,200 yuan, I told the two guests that this map is out of print, and it will be gone in the future. The young man grinned on his face, summed up the expressions and clothes of the two in his heart, and increased the price six times.
"What?" Ma Runing suddenly wondered, wondering in his heart, this kind of map wouldn't be a taboo, right?
"After that, it will be the first year of the human emperor, the fifth year of the human emperor, ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years, and ten thousand years. There's no more Da Yao. The young man had a beaming look on his face, even though the big man above had nothing to do with him at all.
"This is my business card, if you need a tour guide or something, you can call me, I can help you arrange. However, there is one thing that is good, a tour guide is a tour guide, and he only sells his art and does not sell himself. We don't even sell our young ladies in Qinglou. The young man saw that the other party was happy to pay the bill, and stuffed his business card again.
"This can contact you right away?"
"Of course, this is a local phone, as long as it is within the imperial capital, you can find me at any time. The boy pulled out a small phone from his bag.
"Is this a phone? Can you take a look?" Ma Runing saw something new again, there was a phone at home, and the line was still picked up from the back court, but it was much bigger than this.
The one in the boy's hand is the size of a palm, it looks quite delicate, and there is no thread, so it can be carried around.
"Can this thing make phone calls out of town?"
"Landlines are OK, but if you pass locally, you can't use them in other places. ”
Ma Runing inquired, which was considered to have solved the doubts in his heart, but he was pulled by the teenager to a nearby telephone business hall to buy a pair of phones.
Soil buns, girls, not bad money, there is a payment machine next to him, this is simply a standard fat sheep, the young man also earnestly told the two of them to call him when they want to find a tour guide.
"This boy is quite powerful. Ma Runing played with the phone in his hand, which was quite interesting. Just now she got a message from the young man's mouth that the boy was still a student and came to sell maps during the holidays.
Jian Fang hesitated for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "Probably, it's Kaiminzhi!"
"It's different, you look at those scholars, they talk and do things in a crepe, and this young man gives people a completely different feeling. There are also people in the mobile phone store, who are also literate and not very old, but they are not like the habits of a scholar at this age. ”
Ma Runing happily walked through the two food streets, ate for an afternoon, and with the strength of the earth wheel master, these foods disappeared when they entered the stomach, but they made her feast.
The food, though crude and not elaborate enough, is varied and characterful.
Along the way, you can see many people walking and eating with food, or sitting on a rest bench on the side of the road to eat, which is also a scenery that cannot be seen in Daxia.
There is also the prosperity here, not to mention the crowds in the two snack streets, and the signs next to them are also very interesting, and they can even be hung from the first floor to the fifth floor.
"How many people are there in this imperial capital?" Ma Runing suddenly asked.
"About 10 million. Jian Fang said uncertainly, although he had been here twice, each time he came, it was a drastic change.
Just like the two streets next to the train station, which were originally just small stalls and vendors in the open air, have now been built into buildings, and there are shops on both sides, and many of them are simply sold on the side of the road.
And his temperament doesn't care too much about these things.
But don't say it's him, even the businessmen who often come to the imperial capital will find a lot of new things every time they come.
"This is now the place where the eight directions converge, located in the north of Dayao, and the resources of other aspects are converging here. In fact, there is another city that is not much different from here, which is the old capital of Arashijo not far away, which is the transportation hub of Dayao, and countless goods gather there from all over the world, and from there they are scattered to various places.
Speaking of which, there is also a bit of an interesting fact, Lancheng used to be called the city that never sleeps, and later after the capital was moved to the imperial capital, the name of this new city that never sleeps also spread. But the people of Lancheng disagreed, the empress had moved the capital, and this sleepless city must stay. Therefore, every household hangs a skull lamp outside the window, so at night, Lancheng is extremely bright, not weaker than this imperial capital. ”
"It sounds funny, the people there are also bold enough to compete with the royal family. Ma Runing said with a smile.
"You'll know when you go, there are strings of skulls hanging everywhere, and as long as there is a wind, it makes a ghost cry wolf, as if countless ghosts whisper in your ear. Now there is still a name called Ghost Town! As for the courage, after all, it is the people of the old capital, and their morale must be higher. Moreover, the empress and Prince Zhao are not stingy people, and they don't care about this kind of thing, but they are happy to see it happen.
Prince Zhao said that it is a good thing that the people of Lancheng have lived their own way and should be praised. However, it is said that when he turned around, he doubled the electricity bill allocation for the imperial capital city management department. ”
"Interesting people. Ma Runing listened to the music.
