Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 1041 Yijin Ancient City
For Zhao Yuankai, the more chaotic the Western Tianyu was, the better it would be for the big man.

However, at this time, he couldn't think of so much.

The ancient city he is currently in is called Yijin City, the largest city in the northeast of Nanzhao Kingdom, and the entire Yijin City has a population of tens of millions. This number is really scary!
A big city with a population of tens of millions.

Not to mention that on this Kyushu planet, even in a high-density metropolis as developed as Earth in the previous life, the population of tens of millions is still only a handful!

The population capacity of a city is actually a very responsible concept, and there is an extremely rigorous logic concept behind it.

It's not that your city of Yijin is an important ancient city in the world of comprehension, so the population of the urban area can expand without limit, and it can reach millions, or even hundreds of millions!
This is unreasonable and impossible!
Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, when Zhao Yuankai first came to power, the population of the entire capital city was only 50 million people!

why?
Because the level of development is just like that, the mainstay of the economy is still farming civilization.

What is farming civilization?Isn't that just plowing the fields?One mu of land can support so many people, once there are too many people, it will be overloaded, and there will be a big mess!
The subsequent population explosion in Chang'an actually benefited from the industrialization promoted by the Guochao. This is the so-called modernized town because of the level of development.

Then, the explosive subdivision of the economic structure created a large number of employment needs, which attracted more people to settle in Chang'an, and today's super metropolis Chang'an City came into being.

However, even so, the population of Chang'an is only about 600 million.

Therefore, Zhao Yuankai was skeptical about this city of Yijin with a population of tens of millions, and he just took the opportunity to rest his feet and walk down to get a feel for what the system of the ordinary world in the cultivation world looks like.

Zhao Yuankai landed in the small fishing village on the edge of Qiao Nancheng, and was very disappointed after gaining experience.

He believes that even this Middle-earth world is actually extremely backward in development.

So, here comes the problem.

Since the level of development is so backward, that is to say, the productivity is so low, why is it that so many people are bred?
When Yujian was flying above the void, Zhao Yuankai overlooked the overall overview of Yijin City.

He was amazed.

Because Yijin City is really too big, the scope of the main urban area alone is almost three times the size of Chang'an City today, and it is conservatively estimated that the area covered is at least [-] square kilometers!
Simply speaking of [-] square kilometers may not be understood in detail, but if it is compared to a square area of ​​the same area, its horizontal and vertical spans are more than [-] kilometers!

But this is not the most outrageous part of Yijin City. Not only is the main city of Yijin City so large in size, but the outer circle of the main city is actually built with a solid and deep city wall!

The total length of this city wall is at least 250 kilometers long! !

This is quite an astonishing amount of super engineering.

Today's Chang'an has no city walls. In the ancient city, when the population of Chang'an was only 50 million, the urban area was only a dozen kilometers in length and width, and the length of the entire city wall was only [-] to [-] kilometers!
In addition, in a sense, the city wall is a product of the old era and a representative of backward civilization. To put it bluntly, it is closed and conservative!
There are no tall buildings in Yijin City, all of which are ancient buildings, and the tallest tower will not exceed seven floors. This is an extremely low floor area ratio!

However, not all of the tens of millions of people in Yijin City are included in the main city.

Looking at the periphery of the extremely conspicuous ancient city wall above the void, it is actually a large area of ​​townships, and the periphery of each township in each point-shaped area is also surrounded by city walls.

The buildings in these individual districts are densely packed, and it is conservatively estimated that the population of each district is hundreds of thousands.

Zhao Yuankai estimated that the entire Yijin ancient city had a population of 200 million at most.

The remaining 700 million people are almost all living in the villages and towns surrounding the ancient city. The real population density should be astonishingly large!
Besides, logically speaking.

Such a dense area should be covered with more than ten times the area of ​​cultivated and planted land!

However, Zhao Yuankai, who was above the void before, rarely saw plowing fields, and even rarely saw large-scale plains.

Yijin City is surrounded by mountains, which are continuous and cover a wide area.

And the largest plain area is actually Yijin City, and the dozens of scattered rural areas clustered around it.

At this time, Zhao Yuankai was walking on an official road on the west periphery of Yijin City.

The road is very wide.

But the pavement is just a layer of gravel.

It is around nine o'clock in the morning, and the sun is high. This official road is very lively, with ox carts and horse carts pulling goods everywhere!

The hurried passers-by were all ordinary people without any cultivation, and their appearance was no different from that of people in Nancangyu, but what surprised Zhao Yuankai was that these people looked very good, and it was rare to see that kind of yellow and thin face. the bitter man.

Those people were obviously not high-ranking officials, because they all wore extremely simple clothes, all coarse linen clothes and straw sandals.

Either driving an ox cart, or carrying goods, it looks like a low-level person.

But they are all extremely strong and full of energy!
This is not right.

Back then, it was only in the third year after the comprehensive agricultural upgrade that Dahan got rid of the famine and solved the most basic problem of food and clothing.

And this Yijin City, seeing that they are still wearing coarse linen clothes and straw sandals, this is obviously a manifestation of extremely backward productivity.

Once productivity falls behind, the most basic status quo is famine!

But here, it just isn't!

Deformity!
Zhao Yuankai frowned tightly, while observing carefully, he walked slowly towards the west gate of the ancient city of Yijin.

Behind him, Yuhuatian and Yang Jian have been following suit.

In fact, since Zhao Yuankai and his party appeared on this endless official road, they have attracted a lot of attention.

Not only that, but there were also several waves of official people who knelt on the ground and gave Zhao Yuankai a big gift, muttering about immortals and superiors.

Zhao Yuankai kept furrowing his brows and did not express his opinion.

And along the way, coupled with looking down and watching from above the void, many doubts have actually been slowly solved in my heart.

After a while, we arrived at the west gate of Yijin City.

After approaching, Zhao Yuankai realized that the gates and walls of Yijin City were much taller than he had imagined, at least five or sixty meters high!

What kind of concept is this?

Generally speaking, if the city wall is 20 meters high, it will reach the sky, which is already five stories high!

And the city wall of the ancient city of Yijin is at least as high as a twelve-story building, and if you calculate the span of more than 250 kilometers... that's outrageous!
Although the city walls are high, the gates are not large.

There were seven doors in total, the middle of which was ten meters high, and it was the largest door, but it was tightly closed at this moment.

There are three side doors on each side, all of which are guarded by guards, and the entrance and exit are diverted.

On average, there are at least ten guards guarding each door, all wearing armor and waist knives. Zhao Yuankai took a glance and found that the lowest level of cultivation is the existence of martial arts masters!
Zhao Yuankai did not enter the city in a hurry, but stopped in place and watched from afar.

These people on the official road need to provide their identity certificates to enter and leave the ancient city, and they will not be released until the guards have finished checking.

And in terms of posture, these guards were extremely rude, and they raised the whips in their hands and whipped them out without saying a word.

This is the embodiment of strict class.

In response to that sentence, the world of cultivation respects martial arts, and the weak have no dignity at all.

About 10 minutes later, Zhao Yuankai breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Yuhuatian and Yang Jian behind him, and said softly:

"Today we will rest overnight in Yijin City, let's go."

"My minister obeys."

"The last will obey."

The two coincided with each other.

But Zhao Yuankai frowned, shook his head, and said with a smile: "This is not a big man. From now on, you respectfully call me...it's me, just call me Mr. Xiao!"

This point, Yuhuatian is very experienced.

When he was in Nan Cangyu in the past, Zhao Yuan used the title of Mr. Xiao when he opened a micro-service for private visits, and the word Zhao was taken apart to get the word Xiao, so he took Xiao.

After all, Yang Jian is the figure of a god general, so he naturally understands it.

In fact, when Zhao Yuankai was in the small fishing village in Qiaonan City, he had already ordered Yang Jian and Yuhuatian to change into casual clothes, and left Xiao Tiangou at the base.

But even if it was casual clothes, they were gorgeous Hanfu woven with silk and satin produced by the great Han Dynasty. Compared with the mortals in Yijin who came and went in an endless stream, they were still so out of place.

Coupled with Zhao Yuankai's unconcealable majesty from the throne of the emperor for a long time, Yuhuatian's white fox face that is more beautiful than a woman, and Yang Jian's aura that hides the third eye but is still brave... No wonder walking on the official road before caused many people to come forward and bow down.

Zhao Yuankai stepped forward slowly.

When approaching the gate of the ancient city of Yijin, a line of guards came out to greet them directly. The leader was quite brave, equipped with an ancient sword, and his cultivation was not low. He was a first-rank martial artist!

In fact, when Zhao Yuankai stopped to watch from a distance, these ancient city guards also noticed Zhao Yuankai and others.

Seeing that Zhao Yuankai intended to enter the city, he took the initiative to greet him.

"Yao Qianfu, general of the Ximen township in Xiayijin City, I don't know where the three friends are from and where are they going?"

His tone was polite, but his eyes were extremely vigilant, and there was a touch of energy and blood, still testing Zhao Yuankai's cultivation.

At that moment, Yang Jian behind him stepped forward.

This temptation is clearly an offense!

Zhao Yuankai turned sideways slightly, waved his hand, and Yang Jian retreated knowingly.

In fact, this kind of temptation is meaningless to Zhao Yuankai. He is at the fifth level of the God Transformation Realm, Yang Jian is at the eighth level, and the lowest Yuhuatian is also a monk at the high-level Void Refining Realm.

And Yao Qianfu is just a martial artist who has entered the holy realm of martial arts.

After Yao Qianfu tried it out, his face became more solemn. The three people in front of him had a simple and ordinary aura, no doubt like ordinary mortals, and they seemed to have no cultivation!

There are only two possibilities.

One is that these three people are indeed mortals.

The other is that these three people are monks, and at least they are experts above Dan Bianjing!
"This general, the three of us just wandered here and are a little tired, so I want to enter this city of Yijin to have a rest." Zhao Yuan said politely.

So far?

That is definitely an expert!

Yao Qianfu's face turned pale immediately, then he clasped his fists together, his expression became even more respectful, and he said:

"It turned out to be an expert in Yunyou, sorry for your disrespect! It is also an honor for an expert to come to my Yijin City, but...the rules of Yijin City, I wonder how many experts have heard of it?"

"Rules? My son is here for the first time, please tell the general a little bit." Zhao Yuankai was still polite.

Now, his state of mind has long been detached.

Seeing that Zhao Yuankai was so polite, Yao Qianfu also had a sense of humor, smiled and said:

"Haha...Young Master, you are being polite. Seeing that you are so extraordinary, you should not violate the rules of Yijin City! In fact, it is nothing. I just hope that after you enter Yijin City, no matter what happens, please be careful. Obey the three no words!"

"Those three?"

"Don't hear, don't ask, don't argue! Even if you are a guest, you should have the awareness to be a guest, otherwise... you will bear all the consequences!" Yao Qianfu said.

Don't hear, don't ask, don't argue?

Rather ambiguous words.

But Zhao Yuankai didn't take it seriously, Yao Qianfu said it was right, he was a visitor, he stayed overnight and then left, what trouble could there be?
"Thank you, General, for letting me know." Zhao Yuankai nodded.

"My lord, please!" Yao Qianfu stepped aside.

Zhao Yuankai didn't linger too long, and walked towards the ancient city of Yijin, followed by Yuhuatian and Yang Jian.

Yao Qianfu and other guards watched the backs of Zhao Yuankai and others leaving, frowned, and were lost in thought for a long time.

"General Yao, I feel that these three people are not young, should we report to the City Lord's Mansion?" A deputy subconsciously asked.

"Heh... the more powerful the background is, the less necessary it is to report to the City Lord's Mansion! One is afraid of offending them, and the other is that the City Lord's Mansion will be embarrassed. Besides, even an expert, how can he not understand the Western Heaven Territory? What about the rules?" Yao Qianfu sighed.

At this time, Zhao Yuankai had already entered the ancient city of Yijin.

After entering the city, it was an eye-opener.

The streets in the city that bear the brunt are all paved with bluestone slabs, and there are shops on both sides, especially the area near the city gate, even full of roadside stalls.

But the things they sell are very simple, basically all mountain products, either bloody animal meat, or some herbs that Zhao Yuankai has never seen before.

Walking in front of these shops are some young girls who look like maids, some are carrying baskets, some are followed by followers, and the clothes they wear are obviously much more luxurious.

At this point, Zhao Yuankai basically figured out the production mode of this ancient city of Yijin.

Why is this place obviously lagging behind in productivity, most of the ordinary people are wearing straw sandals and rough linen clothes, but there is no sign of famine?

It's actually very simple, they rely on mountains to eat mountains!

After all, this is the Middle-earth world, and it is the true realm of self-cultivation covered by aura.

　Good night, sweet dreams
