The bright moon hangs high, and the night is as cool as water.
The nine-layer palace tower hangs high in the sky, the clouds are billowing, the rays are rising, and countless magical plants of various colors are carefully arranged, blooming with light under the night, making this the most sacred and majestic palace in the world seem like a dream.
In an elegant room in a corner of the palace, Li Yun waited meticulously and patiently.
His status as a prince gave him the convenience of entering and exiting the palace, but even for him, it was not easy to meet his biological father. In retrospect, the last time he met was at the court meeting at the beginning of the year.
The emperor of the Dragon Kingdom would not hold any grand meeting with his ministers throughout the year. He would always see the beginning but not the end. But even so, the country still operated as usual.
Li Yun had already reported the matter about Yun Jing to others. He did not dare to break into the emperor's residence by relying on his status as a prince without being summoned. No one could protect him.
Blood relatives are not too far apart, but the distance seems to be infinitely far.
I didn't have to wait too long and someone responded quickly.
An old eunuch wearing a red and black robe with a white face and no beard saluted respectfully and said: "Go back to your highness, your majesty already knows it."
"What do you mean, father?" Li Yun subconsciously stood up and asked. He shouldn't have been so unstable, but the image of Yun Jing in his mind had too great an impact on him.
The old eunuch said calmly: "There is no need to pay attention to your Majesty's oral instructions."
"No need to care?" Li Yun was stunned immediately, wondering if I didn't express it clearly enough. Isn't that person's specialness worthy of being treated with caution?
The old eunuch gave him a strange look and said unmoved: "If your highness has nothing else to do, please come back."
Your Majesty's meaning is already very clear, so don't worry about it at all. There is no need to say this a second time.
He hesitated to speak, then Li Yun cupped his hands and said: "...Is your father okay?"
"Your Majesty, everything is well. Your Highness's filial old slave will convey it to you," the old eunuch said with a smile.
Li Yun said nothing more and left with a complicated and confused mood. He was an adult and had no special circumstances that would make it inconvenient to live in the palace.
Watching his leaving figure, the old eunuch shook his head slightly and went back to resume his duties. Is a trivial matter worth making such a big fuss to alarm His Majesty? The Thirteenth Prince was a little too unstable.
He is just a person who looks similar to Your Majesty. There are many people in the world, and there are not a few who are exactly the same. Is this worthy of alarming His Majesty once he enters the palace? Could it be that the Thirteenth Prince wants to use this to deepen his impression on His Majesty, but that would be too naive.
.
The old eunuch still remembered His Majesty's tone when he heard this matter. He was even a little displeased and said that instead of caring about such trivial matters, it would be better to do something to share my worries.
How could the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom be so majestic as others could imagine? Let alone a person with three-thirds of his charm, even if he stood in front of him exactly the same, he would be indifferent and not even a trace of curiosity.
Li Yun left the palace with a confused and confused mood. No matter what, his father's will had been issued, so the matter could only end here. Any unnecessary actions would only bring trouble to himself.
So he told his accompanying subordinates: "Go and tell Mr. Tian that for now, there is no need to think about anything. That Yunjing is just an ordinary envoy from a small country. By the way, the people in custody should be freed. Qingjiao City's
Domain gate prohibits contact”
"As ordered..."
Li Yun doesn't intend to pay attention to this matter anymore. In the royal family, the emperor's will is everything and cannot be violated. Since the emperor said he doesn't need to pay attention to it, if he continues to dwell on it, he will simply make himself uncomfortable.
In this way, this matter will be settled. It can be said that Li Yun and Tian Kang's "big fight" is simply unnecessary.
"Try to find out why Thirteen entered the palace, just understand, don't make your own decisions," someone secretly ordered, and there were more than one!
Every move of the royal family members is watched by too many people...
Yunjing didn't know about this incident related to him, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. The Dragon Kingdom can tolerate the world. If he did something to him just because he had some similarities with the emperor he had never met before, then what would happen to him?
This Dragon Kingdom is too unworthy of its name.
He walked towards the consul's office and confirmed the authority of the formation. Soon he understood it almost.
In the future, he can grant lower-level permissions to others through the control core, which is the jade pendant. Then the so-called formations do not have so many magical and powerful functions, they only have functions such as warning and shielding internal and external functions.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that this area is quite special in the Dragon Kingdom Imperial Capital. It is heavily guarded and non-essential personnel are not even allowed to get close. Who dares to come here and mess around? Unless they have enough to survive.
After activating the formation, there was no movement at all. Yunjing began to look at the Consulate Mansion. From now on, this place can be regarded as the territory of the Dragon Kingdom in a sense. Of course, the Dragon Kingdom
'Has the right of final interpretation'.
Yun Jing didn't have so many scruples in the Consul's Mansion, and he understood everything here with just a sweep of his mind.
The place is very large, with pavilions and pavilions everywhere, all facilities are complete, and there is even a small training ground, enough for thousands of people to live here.
However, currently there is only Yunjing alone, and there are no neighbors except for the guards of Dragon Kingdom within ten miles.
Whoosh, Dragon Whale and Laifu sprang out from Yunjing's sleeves, and after being intimate with him for a moment, they ran away to a large pond, splashing a little bit of water.
"This is our temporary place to stay. Don't go out without me, and don't show your true self to disturb others. For the rest, you can do whatever you want." Yunjing warned them.
To Yunjing, they are friends, there is no need to be too restrictive, as long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble.
Everything about the Consul's Mansion was clear to him at a glance, and there was no need to go to every corner in person. It was getting late, so he went straight to the rest area. There was no shortage of everything here, but it was not popular at all.
Arriving at the separate courtyard that was obviously prepared for the 'ambassador' status, Yunjing moved in directly. This place would be his place to stay for a while, but it was only temporary. When the staff here is fully staffed, he would put all the people in it.
Leave the matter to others. He can't really represent Dali and become a bridge of communication with the Dragon Kingdom and stay here permanently. That would be no different from completely confining himself here.
Without taking a rest immediately, he first went to the study, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and recorded what he had seen and heard throughout the day. Although it was insignificant, it would allow people in Dali to intuitively understand the situation in the Dragon Kingdom as quickly as possible.
After finishing, he sorted out the manuscript, opened the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky. He didn't feel bored as a stranger in a foreign land. He just thought that the New Year's Eve was less than two months away and hoped to finish the matter as soon as possible.
Regarding the expansion of the Consulate House, Yunjing does not plan to hire people from the Dragon Kingdom, nor does he think about buying puppets from the Agency City. The people from the Dragon Kingdom are outsiders after all, and who knows if there will be any backdoors for the puppets from the Agency City. Anyway, when the time comes
People will be transferred from Dali. During this period of time, he can only do it himself. Anyway, he is idle.
Of course, he has not forgotten his purpose of coming to Dragon Kingdom...
There was no conversation all night. Early the next morning, after Yunjing finished washing, he felt a warning from the formation. Someone was coming, but he did not break in because there was no one else here except Yunjing. The other party used this method to communicate with Yunjing.
It came at just the right time.
Soon Yunjing appeared at the door. Many people came and brought a lot of things. The leader was Tao Ran who had given them to him yesterday.
"Are you still used to it, Ambassador Yun?" Tao Ran greeted with a smile.
Yun Jing nodded and said with a smile: "Excuse me, everything is fine."
"Well, envoy Yun has invited me. I will deliver some items. Please check them out." Tao Ran went straight to the topic after some pleasantries and handed over a list as he spoke.
Yunjing took it and browsed it quickly. On the list, not only were several carriages and horses sent to the consul's house, but also the funds allocated, as well as the Dragon Kingdom's law books, imperial capital map, living supplies, etc., and everything added up was enough.
More than a dozen cars.
It's not efficient at all, maybe Long Guo is already very good at this kind of thing.
After reading it, Yun Jing said: "I'm tired."
"If Yunshi has no objection, please sign for it here, and then do you need us to help you deliver it to the corresponding location?" Tao Ran said thoughtfully after handing over a receipt.
He did not refuse his kindness. When signing for the receipt, Yunjing said: "Then I'll trouble you all."
"You're welcome, Mr. Yun." After saying that, he looked at the others and said, "Have you heard that? Hurry up?"
Yun Jing also has completely opposite attitudes towards different people, which is not surprising at all.
While people were moving various items, Tao Ran looked at Yun Jing and said with a smile: "Envoy Yun, we will try our best to arrange the submission of credentials to formalize diplomatic relations. It will not take long, as long as three to five days, and as little as one or two days.
I will notify you as soon as I am ready. During this period, Yun makes everything random.”
"I know, it's just a good time to visit your imperial capital. Don't worry, I won't miss the real thing." Yunjing said calmly, without much expectation. He had to find something to occupy himself during this time.
During the chat, the others had already finished moving the things. When they were done, Tao Ran said: "Then I won't disturb Yunshi. Let's take our leave first."
After they left, Yunjing returned to the Consul's Mansion, thinking in his mind that everything seemed to be normal again, and the weird feeling from yesterday had disappeared.
What happened?
Yunjing was puzzled, but he didn't dwell too much on it. It was obvious that the differential treatment had passed.
Tao Ran and the others sent a lot of things, and all kinds of daily necessities were arranged in place. The Dragon Kingdom's law books were enough to fill a room, and then there were maps, money, and several cars and horses.
"I am the only one here now, and there is not even a horse breeder. Fortunately, the problem is not big. The Dragon Kingdom has sent enough feed, so I can think of something."
Yunjing doesn't want to worry about the horse horses. Those horses with wings are extremely intelligent, have been specially tamed, and are very peaceful.
The money sent by the Official Consulate Office Long Guo is only used for the daily expenses of the Consulate Office. To put it bluntly, it is repairs and maintenance, etc. Yunjing can use this money at his own disposal. There is no need to report to Long Guo where it is used.
This is quite a lot of money, a million gold coins!
It is a gold coin, not a million taels of gold. According to Yunjing’s understanding during this period, there are three types of currency in the Dragon Kingdom, gold, silver and copper coins. The ratio is one to one hundred. These three currencies are divided into large coins and small coins.
The ratio is one to ten.
"The currency of the Dragon Kingdom is specially made by the Mint Department. The material used to mint the currency is not pure. It is obviously an alloy. It has unique anti-counterfeiting methods. It is difficult to counterfeit, and it is a serious crime." Yun Jingruo looked at the gold coin in his hand.
Thoughts.
Of course, it is not difficult for him to imitate, but it is not necessary. With his methods, anything he can get is worth a lot of money. There is no need to take that risk and it will be thankless.
Regarding the issue of currency, Yun Jingxin said that this world is not the same as his previous life. Every country is different. Take Dali as an example. One tael of silver can be exchanged for a hundred copper plates. That is because Dali has a rich silver production.
If the state continues to mine without restraint, the ratio of silver to copper will further shrink.
In this world, the symbolic significance of precious metals is greater than its practical application, and everything is under the control of the state.
"A small coin from the Dragon Kingdom, that is, a copper plate, can buy two white-faced steamed buns. This is due to the increase in prices caused by the chaos of exotic monsters in recent years. Otherwise, the purchasing power is stronger. Of course, this is not enough to measure the Dragon Kingdom.
The value ratio of currency and Dali currency needs to be measured based on various aspects. The overall ratio should be within one to ten. In this case, Dali's currency is not too devalued in the Dragon Kingdom."
Putting down the gold coins in his hands, Yunjing stopped worrying so much. There would be officials from Dali and Long Guo discussing this matter later.
Then he looked at the room of law books about the Dragon Kingdom. There seemed to be a lot of them, but in front of Yunjing's brain that was comparable to a supercomputer, he could quickly browse through them with just a quick glance.
Generally speaking, under this background of the times, the difference between the laws of the Dragon Kingdom and the laws of Dali is not very big, but there are differences in details, such as the sentencing of various crimes.
It has to be said that the laws of the Dragon Kingdom are much more perfect, but the supremacy of imperial power is the same, and the status of women is obviously lower than that of men. However, in the Dragon Kingdom, women can also study and take the imperial examination, but they cannot hold important positions, and they must pass the third grade.
The reason for this is that after Yun Jing pondered and summarized the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, he learned that it is because of women's personality problems. Women are often more emotional than men, so they cannot hold important positions.
But this is also a huge progress. Yunjing is thinking that after the diplomatic relations, the exchanges between the two countries will inevitably affect the changes in the status of women in Dali. This is a good thing.
Although Dali Yunjing is now fully qualified to change some things with a tough attitude, it will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions, so it is better to do it naturally.
Regarding laws, don’t forget that the Dragon Kingdom is a feudal system, but it is not the enfeoffment system in Yunjing’s impression. There are still some differences. The princes have considerable autonomy. However, if there is a conflict with the court’s laws, the court will still be the one.
Dominant, specific things are measured concretely.
Later, Yunjing will also provide a copy of the Law of Dali for the Dragon Kingdom to understand, but there is no rush for the time being.
After learning a little about the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, Yunjing did not worry so much, but picked up the map of the Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
The map is only one square, and the entire map is roughly clearly marked. Of course, unclear areas will not be marked, at least not for an outsider like Yun Jing to see.
"Interesting", he looked at the cloud scenery on the map of Dragon Kingdom's imperial capital thoughtfully.
In general, the Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom is divided into nineteen regions, corresponding to the territory of the nineteen states of the Dragon Kingdom. Each area is about a thousand miles in diameter. In other words, the area of the Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom alone is equivalent to a medium-sized city in Yunjing's previous life.
The country’s territory!
The nineteen areas are of different sizes. They are not regular geometric shapes, but they all appear to be guarding. The one in the middle is Zhongzhou, and directly above this area is the Dragon Kingdom Palace.
"The nineteen regions are just a rough division of the Dragon Kingdom's imperial capital. It does not represent the others. Perhaps people from each state will get close to some corresponding regions when they come. The map indicates that each region has a domain gate, and 'Zhongzhou' has more than
There are three domain gates in one domain. This is just marked on the map I saw. And where I am now, this is the corresponding Zhongzhou area. It is quite convenient to go to other areas..."
After a little understanding of what was delivered, Yunjing suddenly felt at ease. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go out and walk around. After all, he had nothing to do.
However, the main purpose of going out is to collect useful information. He has not forgotten the purpose of coming to the Dragon Kingdom. The main purpose is to solve the curse of the human race. Currently, it is mainly reflected in the arrival of foreign monsters. So to what extent the monsters have descended from foreign lands, and how does the Dragon Kingdom respond?
Yes, these all need to be understood. All kinds of information will not come out of thin air in the consular office, and places with many people are undoubtedly the best channels to understand.
"Let's have something to eat..." So Yunjing took some money and went out. Fortunately, the Dragon Kingdom sent the money immediately. Otherwise, before that, Yunjing would have been penniless in the Dragon Kingdom.
When passing by the pond, Yunjing asked Laifu if they wanted to go out together. They expressed no interest and stayed to help Yunjing look after the house. Yunjing told them to let them go. He probably guessed that the two guys were a bit into each other.
Damn, the emperors of the Dragon Kingdom are really Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons. They are probably afraid that they will be eaten by accident when they go out. In fact, there is no need. This place is legal, so as long as you don't mess around, it won't be a big problem.
He was just going out for a walk, and it didn't involve official business, so there was no need to take the car arranged by Long Guo. He was just a personal representative.
After leaving the door, Yunjing said hello to the guards around the Consul's Mansion, saying that he was out and if anyone was looking for him, he could notify him through the formation of the Consul's Mansion and he would return immediately, and then disappear in a flash.
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom is not allowed to fly, but the height and route are clearly defined, and Yunjing does not exceed them. Of course, he does not deliberately keep a low profile, and it is not shameful. In the same realm, if he does not deliberately restrain himself, others will not notice him.
To him, there is no need to show off at this level.
When Yun Jing left the consul's office, some people in the surrounding consul's offices raised their heads thoughtfully, but did not do anything extra.
The area where the consular offices of various countries are located was planned separately. Leaving that area, the prosperity of the Dragon Kingdom's imperial capital can be seen, with wide streets, bustling buildings, and all kinds of strange scenery...
Of course, if you focus on the details, how can I put it? In fact, the capital of the Dragon Kingdom is just like that. The corners are still dirty and messy. Beggars also exist, quarreling, cursing, playing and bargaining...
Even in the Dragon Kingdom, the urban atmosphere is still the reality of most people's lives, and the strictness of those specific areas is only an insignificant part.
This world is always polarized, and the ordinary beneath the glamor is the reality.
The 'Zhongzhou' area is already the center of the Dragon Kingdom's imperial capital. Even so, other places are definitely more realistic.
Wearing casual clothes and walking on the street, Yunjing's dress and the habits developed in the previous environment are obviously different from those in Long Kingdom. However, people here do not pay too much attention to him. People are obviously used to the existence of foreigners, which is amazing.
His appearance made the older girl and younger daughter-in-law look at him a few more times and whisper with blushing faces.
‘Sure enough, my feeling yesterday was right. Although I don’t know what happened, it is definitely over. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for me to go out today.’
With this thought in his mind, Yunjing walked into a restaurant with a good business, found a seat by the window, and ordered a few of the most popular drinks and dishes. Yunjing slowly tasted and took in the various dishes coming from around him.
information.
Order the drinks and dishes that people order the most because they represent the mainstream tastes.
"Surprisingly, there is no such thing as "Wow, look at foreigners. Longguo is really tolerant." Yunjing felt happy in his heart.
"The current situation is not very good. Many business routes are closed and prices are obviously much higher than in previous years."
"There is nothing I can do. I don't know where a bunch of foreign evil spirits have come and are causing chaos. In many places, it can be said that the people are in dire straits and are in constant panic. But we don't have to be afraid. The imperial capital is stable and the imperial court will smooth everything out."
"Have you heard that Nangong Sword Master killed another foreign demon in Chizhou a few days ago, and it was already the nineteenth time he died in his hands. Such heroes are not interested in fame and wealth, but only focus on eliminating harm for the people. The imperial court should issue a commendation."
"Nangong Sword Master, Jianghu Knight, are too far away from us."
"Did you know that last month, it was the birthday of the third princess? All the well-educated people in the capital wanted to see her face. Unfortunately, 90% of them didn't even have the qualifications to get started. I heard that the Dragon Lord even showed up in person. It's a pity that we can't wait for such a grand occasion.
Good luck seeing you"
"It is rumored that the Bai family and the Zhou family are going to get married recently. They are both ten thousand-year-old families. As a result, I am afraid that the structure of the court will be affected."
"Have you heard? King Hexi suddenly disappeared. No one knows where he went, and no one can contact him. The Lu family is panicked from top to bottom. Rumors say that King Hexi has been killed!"
"It is a pity that Haijiao Port was trampled by foreign monsters. It is the southernmost point. Countless scholars have written poems and eulogized it."
"Don't you look forward to the Xiaoyaoju competition in the near future? I don't know which team will win the final victory this year. Every handicap has begun to be tight. I don't know how many people will lose their money this year..."
All kinds of news gathered, Yunjing silently paid attention to them, and summarized them. It can be said that it is related to all aspects of the Dragon Kingdom. Some things are actually related to Yunjing himself. It has to be said that gossip spreads really fast.
