Chapter 175: Arrival at the county city of Yongzhou!
Early the next morning, Shen Qing chose to travel with the Wu family's caravan, and the two teams merged into one.

Since the Wu family caravan often traveled on this road, they were very familiar with the roads here and were able to travel much faster.

The journey that originally took a day and a half only took almost a day to reach the county town of Yongzhou.

Outside the west gate of the county capital Yongzhou.

Wu Sheng's and Shen Qing's teams stopped outside the city gate.

Since Wu Sheng had to go back to hand over this business and had other things to do, he could no longer travel with Shen Qing, so he chose to say goodbye at the city gate.

"Brother Shen, we hit it off right away and got along very well. When you settle down in Yongzhou City, come to the Wu family to find me when you have time. I will take you to visit Yongzhou."

Wu Sheng spoke with a sincere attitude.

If Shen Qing hadn't known that he was running other businesses as well, he would have really thought that this person treated him as a true friend. He was more approachable than the gold medal real estate consultants he had met in his previous life.

However, no matter what Wu Sheng's purpose was in making friends with Shen Qing, Shen Qing still learned a lot about Yongzhou from him.

Seeing the information, Shen Qing's face was also filled with smiles, and he said happily: "Of course, of course. I hope Brother Wu won't think I'm troublesome by then."

"Haha, how could that be. When we meet again in the future, I will definitely prepare a table of good wine and food for Brother Shen." Wu Sheng clasped his hands and said, "I'm leaving first, and we'll meet again in the future."

"See you later."

"drive!"

Wu Sheng mounted his horse and led everyone into the city with their heads held high.

Seeing Wu Sheng and others leave, Shen Qing raised his head and took a good look at the city called Yongzhou.

Yongzhou, as the county seat of Yunlu County, has a population of eight million. If the hidden population that has not yet been registered and has arrived is included, the population may have exceeded ten million.

His cultivation in the Qi-nourishing Realm was considered top-notch in Taiping County, but in Yongzhou City it was not good enough and could only be considered average.

According to Wu Sheng's boasting, any brick thrown in Yongzhou City could hit a martial artist in the Qi-nourishing realm.

Although the statement is a bit exaggerated, one fact is certain: the overall level of martial artists in Yongzhou is more than one level higher than that in Taiping County.

There are probably countless people who want to stand out.

It was almost evening, the lights in Yongzhou city were just coming on, and the official road outside the city was still bustling with people.

Shen Qing took a casual glance and saw monks in cassocks, Taoists with immortal demeanor, noblemen and young ladies in gorgeous clothes, and gang knights with swords on their waists or long knives on their backs... and the list goes on.

Of course, there are more small vendors carrying goods on their shoulders and pushing wheelbarrows, as well as ordinary people working in the city.

Compared to Taiping County, people living in Yongzhou obviously have much better conditions. At least they don't have the gloomy and numb atmosphere of Taiping County.

As it was getting dark, Shen Qing rode on the back of a tall horse, taking the lead and walking in front.

The gray carriage behind him was moving forward, its wheels making a rumbling sound as they collided with the cobblestone road.

When he reached the city gate, Shen Qing was stopped by the gate guards and his identity was verified.

Shen Qing did not act rashly. He took the certificate of citizenship and handed it over to the other party honestly.

To Shen Qing's surprise, the other party just looked through and checked, and let them go after confirming that there was no problem. They did not collect so-called entry fees like Taiping County did.

It turns out that every city has its own way of living.

After entering Yongzhou City, Shen Qing witnessed the prosperity of this world for the first time.

In the past, Taiping County was just a larger and busier ancient town in his eyes, and there was nothing impressive about it.

But the Yongzhou city in front of me is different. The roads on the main street are all paved with bluestone slabs, and there are rows of teahouses and wine shops on both sides, which are crowded with people and prosperous.

Even when night falls, the place is still bustling with people.

All kinds of lanterns are hung high on the streets, and the lights are bright.

The cries of vendors can be heard one after another, and there is a wide variety of goods on display, from exquisite silk brocade to rugged iron farm tools, from sweet pastries and snacks to spicy street snacks.

It really opened the eyes of Shen Qing and others.

I heard that there are a total of twelve markets in Yongzhou City, and each market has its own characteristics.

Shen Qing couldn't help but look forward to his future life.

He randomly found an inn and stayed there with everyone.

Seeing that they were exhausted and in a disheveled state, the innkeeper did not refuse them. Instead, he quietly raised the room rate by 30% and welcomed them in.

Shen Qing didn't know the prices in Yongzhou City, and suddenly felt that the accommodation was extremely expensive.

They just booked three rooms and charged him three taels of silver.

This allowed Shen Qing to instantly have a rough idea of ​​the prices in Yongzhou.

Shen Qing was a little tired from the long journey and the mental tension these days. After checking into the inn, he was finally able to relax and felt unprecedented peace.

After Shen Qing finished washing up, he fell asleep.

A dreamless night.

After a good sleep, Shen Qing woke up feeling refreshed.

After breakfast, Shen Qing found out the office of the Bingmasi and rushed there impatiently.

The government office of the Yongzhou Bingmasi is tall and majestic, with extraordinary style.

Two gatekeepers stood at the door, one on the left and one on the right, full of majesty.

Shen Qing stepped forward calmly and explained his purpose to the gatekeeper. Considering the prices in Yongzhou, he gave each of them a large "door bag".

The latter was delighted to see this and generously let Shen Qing into the Bingmasi office.

Shen Qing successfully entered the government office. Knowing the official style of the Great Zhou Dynasty well, he used money to pave the way. It only took him an incense stick of time to find the official office responsible for the transfer of officials of the Military Department.

He took out his appointment documents to the official on duty, Shen Qing, and waited patiently by the side.

After seeing the appointment document and confirming its authenticity, the official from the clerk's office took him to a side room and treated him well without any further ado.

"You've come at the right time. We have a few vacancies in our military department. If everything goes well and you meet the requirements, you can start work in the next few days."

Shen Qing felt a little unbelievable after hearing this. He always felt that the military office was too easy to enter. He remained cautious and said with a hint of joy: "So fast?"

"Haha, it's not fast or fast. The key is to see if it goes smoothly. I'll take your appointment documents and certificate of citizenship and go to the chief inspector to explain your situation and see what arrangements the chief inspector has for you."

The clerk in the yamen, with a mouthful of yellow teeth, spoke enthusiastically, emphasizing the word "smoothly".

Shen Qing immediately understood what he meant. He took out his certificate, pressed a gold leaf on it, and handed it to the official in front of him: "Then I'll trouble you, sir."

The official's eyes lit up, and he took the gold leaf with a smile, promising, "I'll go first. You wait patiently for my news here."
