C233 test (1/2)

The next morning, Xiao Wen went to Xi'an, the capital of Han Dynasty.

In the original history, this city had become the capital of six dynasties. However, several of the six dynasties had appeared in this world.

Thus, the world assigned Chang'an to the Han Empire.

As for the Tang Kingdom, its capital was called Luoyang …

Originally, Xiao Wen had thought that as the capital of the Han Empire, Changan would be more prosperous than the clouds. However, this was still a feudal era city. No matter how many people there were, it wouldn't be more exaggerated than the cities of the twenty-first century.

Keep in mind that he has been to all of China's major cities of the 21st century. He is very immune to big cities.

However, when Xiao Wen and his group arrived at the city gates, he couldn't help but explode!

”Cao!” ”If there is a traffic jam in the 21st century, I'm afraid everyone from the mayor to the Commissioner of Transport will have to resign!” Xiao Wen cursed inwardly.

Even though it was a bit exaggerated to say that. However, when their convoy reached Chang'an, they saw a dense crowd blocking the entrance. The people inside could not get out, and the people outside could not get out.

Perhaps it was because there were many nobles in the capital that lived like princes, Xiao Wen could even see the nobles among them being enraged and even beating the commoners. Even though it was normal for nobles to bully commoners in this vile feudal society. But this has also led to more severe blockages.

”Those who don't know about this should think that there's a war going on at the city gates!” Xiao Wen retorted.

However, Uncle Li shook his head. ”It's not just one or two days for Changan City to be like this.”

”Is no one going to fix the city gate? Such a small city gate, who knows if it will go smoothly! ” Xiao Wen pointed at the city gates and complained loudly.

Hearing this, Uncle Li sighed and said, ”Do you think His Majesty doesn't want to? The point is, we don't have money! If you want money, just do it. ”

”In such a large country, you don't even have the money to repair the city gates?” Xiao Wen was shocked.

”In such a large country, a single legion only has around five thousand cavalrymen. Even the emperor's carriage couldn't fit eight horses of the same color. Do you think we have the money to renovate the city gates? ”

Even when he was in the clouds, he knew that his country was poor. Even the Emperor wanted to lead the army to war for money, and was manipulated by the Emperor of Song.

However, the scene before his eyes had refreshed his understanding of the state of poverty in the Han Dynasty.

However, Xiao Wen was still puzzled. He asked, ”Even if we don't have the money to modify the city gate, it's still reasonable. But why did they design the city gate so small? ”

Uncle Li sighed and said helplessly, ”When our Han Empire was first established, we battled every day. During those early years, Changan City had been surrounded many times. If the city gate was too big, it would have been breached long ago. ”

”Alright!” Xiao Wen understood and did not say anything else.

”Hey!” That guy in black! ” Suddenly, Xiao Wen heard someone speaking to him.

Even though there were so many people here, he wasn't sure if they were calling him. However, everyone had an intuition that allowed them to sense things that were happening in the dark.

Because of this, Xiao Wen had the nagging feeling that this person was talking to him.

He looked around and saw that a dwarf was riding on the shoulder of a two-meter-tall brute. He looked at him and said, ”That's right! I'm just calling you. ”

It wasn't the first time that Xiao Wen had seen a Dwarf. In his previous life, when he was travelling, he had also seen some midget performances in some places. Although dwarves were not as famous as Thai trolls, they existed in many places in the twenty-first century.

He had not expected to see a dwarf on his first day in Chang'an.

”You must be Xiao Wen!” The dwarf's expression seemed to be somewhat exaggerated, making Xiao Wen feel that something wasn't right.

Xiao Wen thought for a moment. It seemed that the dwarf was speaking to him in an opera voice.

This kind of tone made Xiao Wen feel that it was very funny. So much so that he subconsciously ignored the dwarf's arrogance.

He only heard the dwarf say, ”Yours Truly is one of the Empress's servants. The empress invited you to the palace. ”

”Oh, okay …” Xiao Wen saw this little dwarf talking in front of him in a lively manner. He originally only wanted to watch the performance, so he didn't expect there to be an interaction segment between them.
