Chapter 616: 616
The old single horse carriage drove toward DongyiAs the catkins gradually decreased, people gradually gathered togetherFan Xian and the Shadow silently watched the scene with uneasinessPerhaps the Shadoas deeply hts reflected in his eyes
No wonder Dongyi was the biggest city in the worldIt covered a vast areaThe two-person carriage drove for a long tireed upon placeAll along the way, they saw buildings of all colorstheathered hereCountless accents rang out on the streetsCountless people wearing different kinds of clothes were bargaining and using a sign language unfamiliar to Fan Xian
Marketplaces of all kinds were plainly visibleFan Xian sat in the carriage and gazed up the streetHe found there was no item that couldn't be found within this cityHe couldn't resist secretly sighing in admirationWhen an outside traveler ca place, ould resist pulling out bags of silver?
The Qing Kingdoe scale oIt relied on the massive production power of the palace treasury to forcefully steal part of the nersIt not only caused the downfall of Danzhou port, but it also struck a great blow to DongyiThe city still remained the center of the co out to sea were skilled in the art of controlling the waves and had a great deal of trade of the large land hovering far beyond the oceanThus, its trade had remained prosperous
Even if the palace treasury wanted to take the sea route, it would not all go out to sea from QuanzhouMany adventurers and yi to trade
The change of such an attitude probably needed decades of tiners on the streets, he accepted this opinion in his heartWhen he had been in Jiangnan, the farthest foreigners illing to go to was Quanzhou, so he had not a single one
”Do you find it very strange?” The Shadow asked froners only trust DongyiWhenever Qing people see these blue-eyed people, they always find it strange”
Fan Xian sIn his previous life, he had once been the aweson students buildingHow could he find seeing foreigners strange?
”Why don't the foreigners trust the Qing Kingdo to stop at Quanzhou for a few days, but they've never entered deep into the land” Fan Xian asked in a quiet voice”Northern Qi has no suitable port, so that doionThe Quanzhou port has been around for yi's position?”
”I am not sure about that either” The Shadow pulled down the brim of his straw hat”I heard that the Quanzhou navy and foreigners had a good relationshi+p over 20 years agoLater, so happened to the Quanzhou navyIt scared ners away”
Fan Xian raised his brows and didn't ask any into the city, Fan Xian had kept his eyes and ears outHe finely savored the unique atmosphere of this radually understood so the center of commerce was because its people's nature leaned toward freedouided by personal interestsOn the street, other than officials of the government ere there to ures to be seenAlthough he hadn't had the opportunity to personally witness the specific process of the trading, Fan Xian already had a powerful sense that Dongyi's trading had a prototype agreeardless of whether it was the Master of the City or the Sword Hut, neither tried to control the actions of the h rules for the h the conan area was developed, the development and prosperity were, for the nan coular production of the palace treasury, so its prices could be completely set by the court or hi in Jiangnan was a business ardless of whether it was the once illustrious Ming fa family, or Quanzhou Sun family, they were all vassals under the palace treasuryIf the court wanted these families to die, they had no choice but to dieThe court did not care about the sanctity of a contract withbusiness stemmed fro court, shaNo one could be like Fan Xian, using just the power in his hands to cause the Ming family to spray blood like a fountain and suffer innumerable losses
For er lasting, and yi was like a place for the ather and rule over the to plot for advantageTheir lives and deaths were in the hands of heaven and not an iaze back fro suddenly surged in his heartIf Dongyi actually leaned toward the Qing Kingdo desire for power, how could he be willing to keep things intact for 50 years? How could he allow so many merchants to be on the land he ruled and not be under his control?
If the Qing Kingdolory truly descended on the head of Dongyi, would this wealthy and free, or secret and filthy, large city maintain its present vitality?
Fan Xian and the Shadow chose an unree, they returned to the main street and mixed in with the crowdsIt was still early and inconvenient to do what they wantedSo, these two people, powerful warriors each with their own thoughts, decided to iain, to stroll through the streets of the chaotic seaside city
Other than the groups of yi was also large because it gathered all kinds of strange people hereFor exa Qinian and, even earlier, the young lady of the Ye fae people, there were stories and legendsAdding in Sigu Jian, no one could guess howpeople had co Northern Qi and Qing Kingdorasslands and the snowy Man people from the North had come despite the tens of thousands of liEach year was like thisDongyi's population grew and grew, and the city beca at the various styles of structures on the street, Fan Xian was astonishedHe thought that Shanghai Bund was no hai Bund had been filled estern buildings, while the Dongyi buildings were in the style of theeaves the Northern Qi had inherited frodos, the round-roofed rooilded arrow-rain towers…
It was said that Western style buildings were popular onceHowever, following the rise of the old Ye faners failed coun to ners wanted to buy, they couldn't lass, oods they sold could be made by the old Ye familyFurthermore, they could do because Dongyi no longer needed their goods and requested they e silver mine they found soo, they would probably have been eyi's crafty and ruthless merchants, as well as the Ye family that seeer been able to support the luxurious needs of their nobleh, the Shadow coldly said, ”There is no difference between the foreigners and us except for the fact that their martial arts are like their sorcerers, pretty to look at but useless in realityThey could only go with our exploitation and cry out bitterly every year”
Hearing these words, Fan Xian couldn't help but smileHe still remembered the first moment he woke up in his new lifeHe had seen a shadow by his side flying across like a hawk instantly killing a sorcerer
The sun had dropped slightly, but Dongyi reradually closing for the evening, the pleasure places in the center of each street began to light their red lanterns
”Are you done looking?” The Shadow suddenly asked
Fan Xian used his fingers to gently pull on his straw hatAfter a moment of silence, he said, ”Yes”
He was a traveler fron placeIn this life, he couldn't just be a siyi ca behind the joys of sightseeing and pick up his black dagger
The Shadow inclined his head slightly and turned to the right, sliding past a line of Pacific saury on ice and disappeared into a small alleyThe straw hat disappeared without a trace
The setting sun in the west lost the honor of shi+ning on the East SeaSeparated tragically by the various tall buildings within Dongyi, it dissolved into pools of black shadowFan Xian walked into theyi, the governh it wasn't fully dark yet, particularly with the reh eaves of the govern had already lit the laht
