When the real Shangjing City was revealed to Lin Shixian and others, the only impression in their minds was shock.

Because the buildings on both sides of the street are quite tall, almost all starting from three floors. The materials are made of new cement, and many pleasing patterns are printed on the walls. Some are commercial goods sold in stores, which are extremely pleasing to the eye. Some are just some Ming Chinese slogans, although they are a little different from traditional Chinese characters, they are probably still recognized.

Moreover, these buildings are neatly replicated like a mold. If each store had not had a different signature, it would have really made people think that they were all the same shop.

"Brother, it's the first time I'm here to go to Beijing, right?" A public security army responsible for maintaining order asked in a slightly proud tone while walking in parallel.

"Haha, a certain ancestral home is in Shandong. A few years ago, he was placed in the government and went to Longjiang Province to settle down." Lin Shixian realized that he had lost his composure and immediately restrained his expression and said a little embarrassedly.

"Of courses from Shandong! My ancestral home is Changshan Island, and it is separated from Shandong by a sea." The security army seemed quite good at talking, and then said, "I have entrusted His Highness the King of Ming to the good fortune. Since the King of Ming entered Liaodong a few years ago, I have been in the army to eat food. But I was not very lucky and lost an ear on the battlefield in Goryeo. Fortunately, Your Highness pleaded with us disabled people and arranged errands for us in Shangjing. Now, we can support our family."

When Lin Shixian heard that the security army had such past events, he couldn't help but feel respect. It was also when he first joined the army that the generals and commanders deliberately promoted to them that they must respect the "veterans".

Because sooner or later, they will have to withdraw from the army for various reasons.

Besides, every soldier who has worked hard on the battlefield is worth remembering. Because the good days of the Ming Dynasty are all caused by these soldiers under the command of His Highness the Ming Dynasty, with blood and sweat.

Now, Lin Shixian looked at the old security army talking, and such words echoed in his mind.

At this time, the old security army continued to say, "It is a blessing to come to the capital. I think the soldiers you escort this time are all elite and powerful. They must have made contributions on the battlefield, right? This will definitely give you a great reward. If you are lucky, you may still see His Highness Ming!"

"Ah! Your Highness meets us soldiers?" Lin Shixian was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, in his impression, great figures like His Highness Ming King should be like a god and rarely seen by ordinary people.

So how could a small person like him have the opportunity to meet such a big person?

"Hehe! Don't believe it. Your Highness Ming is the most wise and powerful! In order to worry that the bad-hearted dog officials bully us ordinary people, they often visit privately in the city. And when they were sending their wives to veterans, their Highness personally came forward to preside over the presidency. Therefore, it is still possible to see Your Highness." The old security army described with a fascination, as if he was already there.

"Then have you seen Your Highness?"

"That's-of course!" the old security army said with some disconfidence. Because he had indeed seen it, but the distance was very far away. At that time, it was still at the ceremony of the founding of the Ming Kingdom. He had seen the Ming King appearing on the city gate tower from afar under the city wall.

But his eyes were very bad, so he could only see a armor shaking on the city gate tower. Naturally, he didn't know what it looked like.

However, Lin Shixian was very interested in pursuing the root cause and immediately asked if His Highness was the same as the legend, wise and magical.

"This-this, oh, the people seem to be coming over, I'll go and have a look first-" and said, then ran forward a few steps.

But I encountered a large intersection ahead of me that could lead to multiple directions, including those who drove cars, horses, those who carried goods, those who carried things, and those who were barefoot, and all kinds of pedestrians gathered together.

Seeing that the escort team from far to near approaching, the entire intersection became more and more crowded.

At this time, the Public Security Army immediately took advantage of its home court.

First, we temporarily controlled the intersection. No matter which direction we were headed, we would form a human wall and were not allowed to pass. At the same time, we were asked to take advantage of the temporary passage and walk quickly.

After all, there were too many people and traffic at this intersection. If there was no delay for a moment, the congestion would increase by one point. This was the first time Lin Shixian saw so many people gathering in the same place, but unfortunately there was not enough time, so he didn't have time to take a closer look.

But just a few glances made him see a lot of things.

That is, these people all look quite arrogant. Although they are curious about the escort team, they do not come close to see them like the people in the outer city before. Instead, they keep a sufficient distance and can obey the orders of the public security army in a regular manner.

The Public Security Army’s attitude towards these people is not so tough. When controlling intersections, it will also explain to some inquiring people.

"Is this the confidence that the people in the capital should have?" Lin Shixian thought of the words about "confidence" in the literacy class, and deeply felt that it is very suitable to use it at this time.

As the escort team left, the intersection also resumed traffic. But Lin Shixian looked back and felt that the speed of traffic should be very slow.

But this has nothing to do with him anymore!

Because as another city wall appeared in sight, he realized that the inner city he mistakenly thought was actually the outer city of Shangjing. The city wall he entered at the beginning was just built. In the beginning, it was not even a city there, it could only be called a market.

However, with the large-scale influx of population, the scope of the city had to expand rapidly. So the government had to rebuilt a city wall, but in some areas, the construction has not been completed.

This also refreshed Lin Shixian's understanding of going to the capital.

At first he thought it was a giant city like the Yidu Fuzhou City in Shandong. But now, from the perspective of size, the weight of the latter can only be considered as carrying shoes.

When we arrived in the inner city, there were still all kinds of cement roads. The road surface was faster, and the houses on both sides were not as tall as those on the outer city. However, they all occupied a large area and were built in front of the doors in a very grand and tall manner. According to the introduction of the security army with the travelers, the inner city was full of officials of high grades, great merchants, and some "people" with status.
