Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

Chapter 301 Nangao City

In Zhendan, the most important thing is to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, and there is a very strict household registration system.

To get from one province to another, you don't rely on legs, but on qualifications and certificates.

Unlike the empire where people can roam freely, ordinary people in Zhendan cannot move around.

If you want to travel from one province to another, you need to explain it through official documents, and merchants naturally need to register as well.

This method made Windlow feel a little unhappy. After all, businessmen are the group that hates being controlled the most.

"Document, or proof of identity!"

The Zhendan Yuyong standing in front of him spoke in a loud voice, raised his weapon, and stopped the carriage of Wendlow and Mousse.

"Please get checked."

Although it was a bit unpleasant to be stopped like this, he should at least respect the other party's work, even though he already had the documents given by Binlong Zhaoming in his hand.

It’s still the same old three things that businessmen do.

Get off the car, salute, and speak.

"Hello, I am a merchant from the Empire, coming to the Cathay Pacific for trade exchanges."

"Businessman? Just one car? Check it out, come over here and sign it for your files."

Although Zhendan was a unified dynasty, the laws and customs in different regions were also very different, not much different from the various provinces of the empire.

The only good thing is that the lifespan of dragon sons and daughters is so long that it is beyond the reach of the Imperial Elector to challenge them.

Therefore, although there are many rules in Zhendan, they will not change at will. This allows people to recuperate and at the same time know and abide by the law.

The two Yu Yong climbed onto the carriage and pointed at Mousse, who then obediently jumped off the carriage and waited for security check.

"Okay, it's okay. The cargo is safe. Let's go into the city."

"Thank you, everyone. Please have some tea here."

He took out a simple small package, which contained about a dozen copper coins, and handed it to the gatekeeper Yu Yong quickly and simply.

The latter also accepted it quietly. After all, he had checked the safety of the carriage, so it didn't matter if he took a little more money.

But in the spirit of "one should be grateful for what one has received" and "one should be merciful to others", after putting the copper coins into his bag, Yu Yong's expression eased a lot.

"What business are you doing in Nangao?"

"Import and export trade. I came here to explore trade routes and sell some simple daily necessities and food."

As a local Yu Yong, he naturally knew the basic situation of the local area. He casually pointed out a road, which provided Windlow with a basic route.

"Go straight ahead and you will find the agricultural and sideline products market, where you can sell things. On the left is the industrial and commercial market, where you can buy goods. In the innermost part is Lord Biaolong's Dragon Palace. Foreigners should not approach casually, otherwise they will be detained as spies."

Then make way and notify teammates to pull the lever to let them go.

"Why don't you just show us the proof given by Binlong? Don't you know that a higher-ranking official can crush a person?"

Mousse, who was driven off the carriage by Yu Yong, naturally couldn't swallow this humiliation. The dark elves were born to believe in status and rank suppression, and the higher-ranking officials must suppress the lower-ranking officials.

"You can't play your cards casually. You can't rush to play your big cards. You have to respond to each move as it comes. And if you can get it done with money, don't use connections."

Of course, what Wendlow said made sense, and the copper coins used for arbitrating were not wasted. At least he got the basic situation of the city.

In the market, Windlow completed his basic business and earned some cash.

Just as Yu Yong at the door judged, after shipping goods, merchants naturally have to consider purchasing.

Since Nangao is an industrial city, you can buy some industrial products, go around, sell the goods to save some money, and then buy a large amount of Zhendan products.

Finally, he returned to the empire with Gelt, and by selling tea, silk and porcelain, he would naturally become rich and achieve financial freedom.

Just when Wendlow was about to go to the industrial and commercial market, he passed by the Biaolong Palace, but the road was blocked.

The Zhendan army has already gathered here, and there are a large number of them, at least several hundred people.

But the ordinary residents here did not encounter any accidents and continued with their lives. It can only be said that the locals have become accustomed to this kind of life.

At the front of the army was actually a female general, riding a warhorse, leading the troops in an orderly manner through the streets and heading out of the city, their target direction being Changyuan.

"What's the matter, fellow?"

Wendlow could speak the Zhendan language very fluently, and he also knew that the Zhendan people would always ask "Have you eaten?" before greeting each other.

Since there is no language barrier, the local person being asked has the time to stop and tell a foreigner what happened.

"In order to resist the Chaos invasion, the border guards will take turns to guard and rest each time. This group of people will go up and another group will come down."

"Ah? Changyuan is so high, how can Chaos get in?"

This is not only Wendlow's question, but also Mousse's question.

The latter had actually fought against the existence of chaos and knew that those chaotic creatures were not particularly powerful and could be easily killed with swords.

Not to mention that there is such a tall city wall called Changyuan in Zhendan. As long as the city wall is always there, it is impossible for Chaos to tear it down.

It is only necessary to check the city walls occasionally to see if there are any gaps, and there is no need for regular soldiers.

When Zhendan sends troops over, does that mean it's not a gift?

Could it be that Zhendan has internal problems? Is there too much of an army and they have to send away waves of soldiers from time to time?

But this is not Bretonnia. Soldiers who have no war to fight can just go farming instead of having to go to the battlefield.

Is it for military merit? Is it to use Chaos as experience pack?

He had all kinds of ideas, but still couldn't find a reasonable explanation. Windlow could only take out a small bag of copper coins and find a teahouse.

There are no so-called pubs in Zhendan. The place where people exchange information is called teahouse.

The identity of a teahouse waiter is similar to that of a bartender in a pub. He has met many people, knows many things, and has a lot of information.

"Waiter, two bowls of tea, the best tea."

Wendlow and Mousse found a place to sit down. They only needed to shout and the waiter with a kettle in his hand would immediately run over.

"Sir, would you like to drink some good tea? Try Bamboo Leaf Green Tea, five copper coins a cup."

Tea is so expensive? In the empire, five copper coins could buy a peasant all-you-can-drink beer.

But he had already said it, the best tea was the best tea, so he reached out and took out ten copper coins and placed them in front of the waiter.

"Wow, you are from the Empire, right? The Imperial copper coins are heavier than the Aurora copper coins. I will charge you eight copper coins for the tea. I will give you the change."

The middle of the Zhendan copper coins was hollowed out, and they were indeed cheaper than the imperial copper coins, but Windlow simply pushed the waiter's hand back.

"The money thing is not a big deal. I mainly want to ask you something, for example..."
