"This ...... This also ...... It's too exaggerated, isn't it?!" After listening to Huang Siyu's description, Nalan Zixuan couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

Her grandfather, Nalan Shura, who is also the only descendant of the Heavenly Doctor Sect in the world, has a huge study in the station of the Heavenly Doctor Gate. There, in addition to those books related to medicine and medical skills, there are also many miscellaneous books, such as astronomy and geography, arithmetic technology, agriculture and feng shui, and all kinds of skills in the world, almost all of which can be found in the library of Tianyimen.

It is also for this reason that Nalan Zixuan also knows that Chang'an City, the imperial capital of the Sui and Tang dynasties in history, is definitely the largest imperial capital in ancient times. Today's Zhongzhou Chang'an Mansion, although it is called the three cities of Zhongzhou together with Luoyang Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion in Zhongzhou, although it is still a rare big city in five continents and four places, but in terms of scale alone, today's Zhongzhou Chang'an Mansion only occupies less than one-tenth of Chang'an City, the imperial capital of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

As for Shangzhou Beijing, the imperial capital of the contemporary imperial dynasty, it was only three-fifths stronger than Chang'an City, the imperial capital of the Sui and Tang dynasties. And now the Qizhou City in front of her, the area of the main city alone is close to Chang'an City, the imperial capital of the Sui and Tang dynasties in the past, and it is naturally far larger than the current imperial capital Shangzhou Capital.

Although this is an obvious violation of the system, at best, it is a big rebellion, even the imperial court has many ministers who continue to write on the scale of Qizhou City to the current dynasty of the Son of Heaven, but the power of the Qizhou Wang Clan's Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance is not inferior to the imperial court at all, and the leaders of the Qizhou Wang clan in the past dynasties will not be too birdish to those heavenly officials and lords of the contemporary dynasty, this Qizhou City is naturally getting bigger and bigger.

Speaking of which, in fact, the contemporary royal family is also aggrieved enough. In addition to the fact that they completely controlled the five continents and four regions in their hands during the founding emperor's period, the successive emperors after them gradually broke away from the control of the central imperial dynasty.

First of all, Dongzhou. From the second generation of emperors, the land of Dongzhou began to be separated from the central dynasty, and after a hundred years, it was completely out of the control of the central government, and returned to the hands of the five merchants of Dongzhou led by the descendants of the king of Qi in the past. As for now, except for a small area such as Dengzhou, the land of Dongzhou is under the direct control of the Five Merchants Alliance of Dongzhou. The administrative and military governors of the major prefectures, counties, counties, towns and villages of Guqi and Ludi, Guji Zhaodi, and Guwuyue Land, which were under the control of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, were all appointed by the people of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance. The central royal family has no interference in the land of Dongzhou at all, and even if people call the land of Dongzhou the Kingdom of Qi today, it is also from this.

Although the other four continents and four places are not as good as Dongzhou, they are only nominally controlled by the Central Dynasty, and in fact they are completely cut off from the Central Dynasty, but with the increasing expansion of the local separatist forces and the real power of the princes in various places, the Central Dynasty's control over the other four continents and four places is really becoming more and more powerless.

Because Shangzhou is the location of the capital, and because Zhongzhou has large state capital cities such as Chang'an Mansion, Luoyang Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion, these two continents are relatively speaking, the strength of breaking away from the central imperial dynasty is not so strong, and even Shangzhou is the place where the central imperial family has the strongest control. Because Nanzhou is too far away from the Central Dynasty, its relationship with the central government is second only to Dongzhou, but because Nanzhou has not yet had a large separatist force that can affect an entire large area like Dongzhou, it has not broken away from the Central Dynasty like Dongzhou. As for Xizhou, just looking at one Qingyang Mansion, you can already understand the overall situation, and the entire Xizhou is also following in the footsteps of Dongzhou and Nanzhou.

As for the other four regions, due to their respective geographical environments, few people settled here, and the central imperial dynasty only symbolically divided the aborigines of the four regions into administrative areas according to tribes, and set the chiefs of those tribes as administrative and military governors, and those tribes exercised the right of self-government. Therefore, although the four places also nominally belong to the central imperial family, in essence, they are also independent autonomous places. After all, where you don't even need to pay taxes, you can only belong in name.

But that's all off topic.

After Nalan Zixuan let out that sigh, Huang Siyu just smiled softly, didn't speak, and walked straight to the huge city gate.

The eight gates of the main city of Qizhou City were actually guarded by members of the Qizhou Autonomous Army formed by the Qizhou Wang clan. And because the Qizhou Autonomous Army was formed by the Qizhou Wang, the Qizhou Autonomous Army is also an institution belonging to the Dongzhou Five Merchants League.

In fact, the armed forces of the capitals, counties, counties, towns and villages of all sizes in Dongzhou under the control of the Five Merchants League of Dongzhou are all large and small autonomous armies formed by the five masters of the Five Merchants League.

Although they are autonomous armies organized by the people, the actual combat effectiveness of these autonomous armies in Dongzhou is even stronger than that of many officers and soldiers.

After all, the financial resources of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance are not much better than those of the imperial court, and the martial arts system with a rich number and complete system is incomparable to the imperial court. If you have enough financial resources, you will have excellent equipment, and if you have high-quality martial arts skills, you will have masters with good strength. Those who can almost be selected into the Qizhou Autonomous Army are at least the strength of the fifth-rate masters in the rivers and lakes.

In the official army, the masters of this strength are already at the level of middle-level generals, but in Qizhou City, they can only be the most ordinary soldiers.

It can also be seen from this that the individual soldier quality of the Qizhou Autonomous Army is.

As for the daily training of the Qizhou Autonomous Army, it is also through the painstaking research of countless generations of the Qizhou Wang family, and a set of effective training methods have been summed up, which also makes everyone who has joined the Qizhou Autonomous Army have good military qualities.

For example, now, the members of the Qizhou Autonomous Army stationed in front of the city gate are all standing in their respective positions solemnly, even if Huang Siyu Yingying walked over, they all looked straight ahead, without the slightest shift.

In front of one city gate were twenty members of the Qizhou Autonomous Army covered in armor, sixteen of whom stood in two rows inside and outside the city gate, responsible for deterrence, and four for routine inspections.

Qizhou City is a fairly open city, and there is no need to pay an entrance fee to enter the city. The Qizhou Autonomous Army is also highly disciplined, and there will be no such harsh robbery.

Qizhou City is also a strict city, all people who come to Qizhou City will can't help but be infected by the atmosphere here, and will automatically abide by the rules, do not do those things that are sneaky and robbing, and do not be a traitor.

Huang Siyu came to a member of the Qizhou Autonomous Army who was routinely checking and took out a token. When the member of the Autonomous Army saw it, he immediately gave a respectful military salute, and at the same time arranged for a member of the Autonomous Army to enter the city quickly.
