The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 328 Bustling Qingdi City
"We have finally arrived at Qingdi City! What a prosperous port!"

Versace leaned against the side of the boat, looking at the port not far away, and shouted: "How much money do you make every day? With this port, you can make money just by lying down!"

Starting from Kyoto, thousands of people headed north along the official road, switching from land to water, heading north through the mighty Grand Canal, and then switching to sea in Tianjin, traveling around for nearly a month.

It’s really not easy to go out!
"indeed so."

Looking at the overwhelming white sails, Wang Qinian's eyes widened as wide as copper coins, and he nodded uncontrollably, "I've been to Panyu, Wudi City, and Yuegang, but none of them compare to what's in front of me."

As both of them love money, Wang Qinian and Versace quickly became friends because of their similar interests and hobbies and became good friends who could talk about anything.

They are serious about making money!
"Qingdi City is uniquely located. It is almost the northernmost ice-free port in Kyushu. Merchants from all over the world flock here to ship goods to all parts of Kyushu."

A hint of darkness flashed across Fan Xian's bright eyes, and he took over the conversation.

Compared to land transportation, water transportation is the most convenient and cost-effective for bulk transportation. Qingdi City has many unique goods and a developed trade, so it is hard not to get rich!
"Da da!"

Half an hour later, carriages stretched out for miles, with flags representing Nanqing fluttering in the wind, and the huge delegation marched on the spacious avenue.

Lifting the curtain, Fan Ruoruo observed the unique Qingdi City, her eyes lit up: "It is worthy of being the number one city in the world, it is indeed extraordinary."

The hundreds-meter-wide street was paved entirely with stone slabs from the mountains. It was very flat and stretched eastward all the way to the distant horizon, like a leaping silver snake flowing with gold and silver.

As the founding of Daqian approached, the already prosperous Qingdi City became even more crowded, with bustling crowds and huge carriages moving as slowly as a snail.

"Sister, I want to stay."

Versace leaned against the carriage, his eyes rolling around, and an idea came to his mind uncontrollably: "Here, I can realize my dream."

If you want to sell goods, you need people, lots and lots of people. Compared to Qingdi City, Kyoto is just a third or fourth tier city with a population of barely one million, while the population of Qingdi City has long exceeded ten million.

The bustling streets, the rows of shops, the groups of students traveling, etc., all show that this is a city full of hope!

Taibai Building.

"Looking at the flags, it should be the Nanqing envoys. Qingdi City is really lively these days."

Looking at the diplomatic envoys passing by on the street, Hua Manlou waved the folding fan in his hand, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

Many years ago, the Hua family moved to Qingdi City. Hua Manlou went from being a Ming citizen to a commoner under Shen Yuanliang. Now that the founding of the country is imminent, he feels honored to see one diplomatic mission after another!
"The Ming and Tang dynasties in Yanzhao, the Qin and Han dynasties in Guanzhong, and even many dynasties in the south have all sent people to participate in the founding ceremony. The situation in Qingdi City has been established."

Shaking the wine glass in his hand, Lu Xiaofeng stroked his mustache and said nonchalantly, "There is a 30% chance of unifying the world."

Compared with Kyushu, the land outside the Great Wall occupies one-sixth of the territory. The vast black soil provides sufficient food for hundreds of millions of people. There are three thousand weak waters in the west. Who in the world can rival it?

Add to that the Sixth Realm powerhouse Shen Yuanliang, the invincible imperial guards, and the levying army, and just thinking about it makes many ambitious people despair!
"Hua Manlou, what title will the Green Emperor bestow upon your Hua family?"

Sikong Zhaixing, who was in a carefree state, patted Hua Manlou on the shoulder and asked with great interest, "Will you be granted fiefs and lands, and be given titles of nobility to rule over the people?"

There is a world of difference between a title with a fiefdom and a title without a fiefdom. For a minister, it is definitely better to have a fiefdom. Who wouldn't want to be a vassal state and be the only one in power?

"do not know!"

Hua Manlou shook his head and said nothing more about which system to adopt. After joining Qingdi City, the far-sighted Hua family quickly transformed from a wealthy merchant family to a military noble family. Countless family members joined the army, using the swords in their hands to fight for wealth for themselves and their family.

The founding of Daqian was a division of interests. Shen Yuanliang cut the cake and determined the wealth of the major families for hundreds or thousands of years. It was a feast for the gluttons.

……

The top of Cangshan Mountain.

"Master, many people have written to me, suggesting that you recruit hundreds of thousands of craftsmen to build an imperial city, right in the center of Qingdi City."

On the winding mountain path, Dongmei followed Shen Yuanliang closely, acting as a secretary, talking non-stop and looking very busy.

Different from the inhumane eunuch system in other countries, Shen Yuanliang planned to employ female officials. Beautiful women are always more pleasing to the eye than eunuchs. Dongmei is equivalent to the "writing eunuch" of the Silijian, holding a high position and great power.

"Qingdi City has been expanding again and again. It is not appropriate to make major changes. It will only waste people's time and money."

Shen Yuanliang, wearing a purple gold crown on his head and deerskin boots, waved his hand and rejected the proposal. To him, Cangshan was the imperial city and the safest place in the world.

As for the Zhaixing Tower in Qingdi City, it is the place where people work on weekdays, separating public and private areas.

"It is now September, and the founding day will be here in less than twenty days. The Heaven Monitoring Department reported that many people of all kinds have come to Qingdi City recently."

Dongmei looked very serious as she pulled out a memorial with the seal of the Astronomical Bureau from the pile of memorials in her arms.

In the past, because of the blood-sucking vines and the Three Thousand Weak Waters on the border, people from other countries who wanted to enter Qingdi City had only two ports except Jinzhou, and the entire area outside the Great Wall was a paradise.

Now that delegations from various countries have arrived one after another, it is obvious that there are many spies among them.

"As long as you don't cause trouble, don't worry about it."

Unless he closed the country and had no contact with anyone, Shen Yuanliang would not be able to eliminate all spies. So he opened the country's doors this time and let everyone see part of Qingdi City's heritage.

As for the real foundation, it is all in Cangshan and in Shen Yuanliang's hands.

After walking a few dozen steps, a pavilion appeared at the corner. The tall jujube tree was lush and green, like a huge canopy attached to it, and the crystal dew on the leaves sparkled in the sun.

"Brother Yuanliang."

Under the red fire, mist was everywhere. Li Wan'er was wearing a frosty white dress and a lavender waist ribbon that outlined her graceful figure. A touch of snow-white appeared in front of Shen Yuanliang.

"Sorry for the waitting."

Shen Yuanliang walked forward and held Wan'er's tender white hand. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile: "Wan'er, are you willing to be my queen?"

Childhood sweetheart, white moonlight, confidante, child bride Li Wan'er is irreplaceable in Shen Yuanliang's heart. After he becomes emperor, she must be the queen.

"I am willing."

Looking at Shen Yuanliang intently, Li Wan'er shed tears of happiness.
