After entering the Gyeonggi territory, the scenery is very different from before, not only the villages and towns along the road have increased greatly, but also the official road has also widened a lot, which is enough for five or six large chariots and horses to run in parallel, which is similar to the main road of the city a thousand years later. Coupled with the increasing number of pedestrians, Sun Tu and the others could not even worry about wild beasts at night and could catch up at night.

In this way, their footsteps were much faster than before, and they had passed Changyuan, Fengqiu and other places in a few days, and came to Chenqiao Town, which played a pivotal role in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.

Just over 100 years ago, Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was forced by his soldiers to wear a yellow robe here, from a courtier of the Later Zhou Dynasty to the founding monarch of the Great Song Dynasty, thus creating the Zhao and Song dynasties that lasted for hundreds of years.

Now a hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the monarchs and ministers who started here have all turned into a handful of loess, but Chen Qiaoyi is still the same, so that many people in the past can't help but stop here to remember, and whisper about that old thing.

Sun Tu's donkey cart also stopped in front of the post house covering an area of several acres for a short time, and he also told Ya'er this story, which made the little girl a little surprised: "Is there such a thing?" But third brother, how do you know these stories? ”

"Well, naturally, I heard from others." Only then did Sun Tu remember that the original Sun Sanlang was not a learned person, so he casually took the words and perfunctory them. They didn't stay here for long, because Bianjing City was still half a day's journey away, and it was not early at this time.

In a hurry, they finally arrived at the foot of Bianliang City in time before sunset. At this time, the setting sun shone on the majestic city wall, as if it had been plated with a layer of golden light, dazzling the eyes.

Ya'er poked her head out of the car curiously, and when she saw the city wall that was more than five zhang high, she couldn't help but let out a heartfelt admiration: "The capital is really tall and big...... yes, compared with the ordinary states and counties they passed through, this towering city wall alone is enough to make people amazed, because the city wall of a small county like Yuncheng County is only more than one zhang high, and the comparison between the two is really too far apart.

In fact, the difference is not limited to this, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty is more than 50 miles around the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are more than one million. You must know that today's population is only tens of millions, and a city actually accommodates more than one million people, and its prosperity goes without saying. At the beginning, Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty can be compared with Kaifeng.

However, all this did not surprise Sun Tu too much, after all, from a thousand years later, he was used to seeing all kinds of high-rise buildings, five-zhang high city walls, and the wide moat with a width of thirty steps in front of him and a continuous flow of water did not make him lose his temper, only looked up at the sky slightly, and followed the pedestrian team in front of him to the city gate.

Naturally, there were soldiers guarding the city gates, but they did not carefully inspect the things brought by all kinds of people as imagined, as long as they did not bring large quantities of goods into the city, they did not come forward to stop them, and even the city gate tax was only 20 wen.

This is where the spirit of the Great Song Dynasty lies. In the later Ming and Qing dynasties, in Beijing, in addition to the official sedan car, the idle people who wanted to enter and exit the city gate would inevitably be carefully searched to prevent any illegal things from being hidden. But Kaifeng City does not have such a cumbersome thing at all, and welcomes every citizen who comes here with an open and inclusive attitude.

This may also be the root cause of the Great Song Dynasty's ability to create wealth far beyond that of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the Ming and Qing dynasties - mercantile and open!

Although Sun Tu did not have such profound thoughts, after entering this world's first city, he still clearly felt her prosperous and free atmosphere.

Passing through the city gate, there is a wide long street that stretches as far as the eye can see. All kinds of people on the street walked among them, their steps were fast or slow, but their expressions were full of pride and joy. On both sides of the street, there are many shops and restaurants, and customers come and go from them from time to time.

People didn't rush home because it was getting dark, and they went about their day. All this fell into his eyes, which made Sun Tu feel that he had traveled back to the era after a thousand years, and made him feel as if he was in the "Qingming Riverside Picture".

By the way, if you remember it well, the famous paintings that have survived through the ages depict the characters in Bianjing City in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty!

At this time, Ya'er had already been like many pedestrians next to her who were also stepping into Bianjing City for the first time, and she was completely shocked by the prosperous and magnificent capital in front of her, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

On the way to Tokyo, the little girl imagined more than once what this imperial capital was like, how luxurious and prosperous it was. But it was impossible for her little head to describe the prosperity of Bianjing City in front of her, and the pedestrians walking side by side on the street alone had already stunned her.

And when she looked up into the distance and saw the magnificent colorful buildings erected in front of the inner city gate, she exclaimed again: "What a tall building." Third brother, what kind of place is that? ”

This time, Sun Tu was also stumped, as a traverser, he is not omniscient and omnipotent. Fortunately, someone on the side quickly helped him out of the siege: "Little girl, that is a famous place in Tokyo, called Fan Lou." ”

"It turned out that it was Fan Lou." Sun Tu nodded secretly, he had really mentioned the name of the first floor in the world from many people's mouths before, this is the largest gold cave in the entire Bianjing City, whether it is wine and beauty, or all kinds of acrobatic tricks, as long as it is something that people in this era can come up with, Fan Lou can provide it.

After thanking this enthusiastic person for his advice, Sun Tu asked him about an important matter: "Dare to ask this uncle, where is the most convenient place to stay in Tokyo." "Finding a place to live is the number one priority right now.

This one is also easy to speak, so he tirelessly pointed out: "There are dozens of inns and inns of all sizes in my Bianjing City. If it is good, Fan Lou and the few main stores on the side can allow guests to stay overnight. If you want to save some money, the foot shop there is also a good one. As he spoke, he pointed to the left and right.

Only then did Sun Tu know that this Bianliang City did have the prosperity of the later generations, and there were no less than ten hotels and inns in the Dongcheng area alone, which could satisfy travelers of all identities to stay here.

Although his current luggage is quite abundant, and there are no less than a hundred taels of silver and more than ten copper coins here, but thinking that this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven after all, and the price will definitely be more expensive than elsewhere, Sun Tu did not choose to look at the luxurious and spacious store, but went straight to a small foot shop hidden in the alley.

Although this store is not as good as the surrounding stores, the environment and service are also very good, and after seeing Sun Tu, the guy immediately greeted him and asked about the needs. After knowing their origins, they prepared a quiet room for them, and according to Sun Tu's request, this was an ensuite with two beds inside and outside.

When he invited them into the guest room, the man glanced at the donkey driveway parked in front of the door: "Guest, if this cart and donkey want to park in the small shop, we will naturally help take care of it, but the forage will have to be paid for extra." However, if you want to stay in Beijing for a while, you still go to Xiangguoji Temple or Dongshi to sell it. When it's time to leave, buy a new one, and you can save a lot of money. ”

Sun Tu nodded and thanked this person for the reminder, but it was not easy to make up his mind for a while. After all, he came to Tokyo to hand over the taxes and silver of Yuncheng County, and as long as the matter is done and he gets the receipt, he can go back.

But he didn't know that what seemed like a small thing could become extremely difficult. As long as he deals with the government, there will be all kinds of rules and regulations that fall on his head, which ordinary people like him cannot predict and resist at all.

But at least tonight, after successfully arriving in Bianjing City, Sun Tu can finally rest peacefully for the night.

In the same evening, a tall, stout bald monk, more than eight feet tall, with a bearded face, carried a Zen staff and strode into the city of Tokyo from the west.

This day is the seventh year of the Great Song Dynasty Zhenghe, the fourth day of the sixth month!

&&&&&

It's not easy to live in the capital, so book friends will count the tickets and collect the entanglement of Sun Tu。。。。。
