Chapter seven hundred and twenty seventh entering the city
A bowl of fresh and fragrant wontons steaming in front of Tang Letian.
Tang Letian hasn't eaten food from the world for more than a month. He has been walking in the jungle for more than a month. Although he does not need food to nourish himself, he will feel light in his mouth over time, especially in this icy and snowy environment. People will have a strong desire to eat, and eating hot and hot food can make people feel physically and mentally happy.
In addition, he also wanted to talk to the stall owner to have a preliminary understanding of Daqing Emperor.
Tang Letian has privately investigated many cities and went deep into many stars, so he is quite familiar with this business.
To have a preliminary understanding of a city, you not only have to read the things in the book, nor just listen to rumors outside. You can only walk to this city in person, listen to the words of the most ordinary people, listen to the words of people with wealthy families, and then listen to the words of wealthy families.
Combining the three, coupled with what you see and feel, is the true face of the city.
Tang Letian swallowed a milky wonton while it was hot. While tasting the fresh fragrance of wontons, he exhaled a strong breath and asked, "Brother-in-law, I have something to ask you."
The old man pinched the wontons while saying in a dull voice: "The little old man is just a seller of wontons. If you ask me what stuffing of wontons and how to mix the dough, I can answer them one by one, but I don't know anything else."
Tang Letian hit a hard nail and was a little embarrassed for a moment, but then Tang Letian smiled and focused his attention on the wontons in the bowl.
Tang Letian finished eating the wontons quickly and no longer had extra conversations with the old man. He wanted to ask about some things casually, and it would be fine if anyone else had to touch his cold butt.
After drinking a bowl of wontons, Tang Letian felt warm all over his body, and a stream of heat radiated from his stomach to his limbs.
Taking out the copper plates and lined up on the table, Tang Letian looked at the immortal imperial city covered by the swelling of fine snow.
Standing in front of Tang Letian was a city wall of fifty meters high. Below the wall were various dilapidated wooden houses. These were all attracted by the Daqing Imperial City and refugees from all over the place.
These refugees are also the resources that Daqing Imperial City can continuously expand.
The expansion of each floor of the imperial city was like a mother who opened her arms, covering a large number of refugees behind the city walls. Then new refugees came. These refugees built houses outside the city walls, reclaimed fields, hunted animals, and used their hard work to make a living.
Five hundred years later, their descendants will be able to become the inner people of the immortal imperial city.
For this goal, dozens of generations of people have been working hard.
The hard and thick city walls and the broken huts created a huge gap between the two, and it seemed that they should not be an existence in the same world.
But the fine snow fluttering in the sky smoothed out the huge ravines between the two.
It makes the two look much more harmonious.
Most of the people in those simple houses have not yet gotten up. Even if they wake up, they are mostly wrapped in quilts to fight against the cold weather, so it looks very quiet here.
Tang Letian didn't know where to start, but Tang Letian was not in a hurry.
Tang Letian exhaled a long breath and walked towards the imperial city.
The owner of the wonton stall looked at Tang Letian's back, then shook his head, and murmured to himself: "All of them are poor people, they all feel that they are different and can find a place in this imperial city, or even stand out..."
Tang Letian heard the old man's murmuring, although the old man's voice was not loud.
But this does not affect Tang Letian, because Tang Letian does feel that he is different and that he will definitely be able to stand out here.
Tang Letian really feels like a fledgling boy. Because Tang Letian made subtle changes to his face, he became younger, and more importantly, Tang Letian changed the light in his eyes.
Tang Letian looks young and vigorous, full of tenacity and vitality as a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger.
Everything that Tang Letian showed at this time was carefully prepared.
He was wearing the most ordinary clothes in Daqing. He was not luxurious, but he was never poor.
Tang Letian is like a young man who has just walked out of the countryside and is ready to show his skills in the city.
The Daqing Emperor attracts a large number of young people here every year. Some people take root, sprout and thrive here, gaining fame and power, but some people gradually become depressed here and eventually disappear without a trace.
The morning bell rings.
The city gate opens.
There are not many people entering the city, but there are many people leaving the city, and there have been long queues.
After all, except for urgent matters, they usually travel during the day and enter the city in the afternoon. There are few people like Tang Letian who come to the city in the early morning.
After leaving the city, there are porters, farmers, hunters, etc. In the morning, most of them were poor people, and there were few people in bright clothes and angry horses.
Tang Letian prepared the city entrance certificates prepared in advance. The soldiers guarding the city glanced at him a few times, looked at Tang Letian's youthful appearance, and waved his hands and let them go casually.
Tang Letian walked into the most prosperous city in the lower part of Guixu.
The imperial city looks very new under the 20th floor wall. These buildings are built when the city was expanded a hundred years ago. They are covered with blue bricks and red tiles, and fine snow, giving people a refreshing feeling. The ground is covered with long blue bricks, and there are also officials who get up to clean the streets before dawn. Even if it snows in the middle of the night, it will not be muddy.
Tang Letian walked on the street, looking around, but it was still early and the shops on the street had not opened yet. In addition, it was particularly cold in the early winter morning, so he looked deserted everywhere he went.
Tang Letian walked aimlessly on the street, looking for opportunities while walking around the city.
Tang Letian set several advanced methods for himself.
The first type of nobles who searched for royal families and became the disciples raised by royal families.
The second type is the royal family every year to select talents. If they can pass the civil and military test, they can be promoted to the officialdom and reach the top in one step.
These two.
The first path is the hardest to walk, but it is conducive to concealing one's life experience.
The second type is the best way to go with Tang Letian's strength, and he can pass the martial arts test easily. However, although Tang Letian's life experience has been prepared, it is not rigorous and cannot withstand too in-depth investigations.
Tang Letian thought about it and did not come to a conclusion. Tang Letian thought that both methods were feasible and could try them, so Tang Letian was ready to take two steps and use which method to do whatever method was convenient.
As for the issue of identity, Tang Letian replaced a boy named Tang Cheng.
This young man was chosen by Tang Letian for thousands of times. The only flaw in this identity is that Tang Cheng has an older sister and a younger brother-in-law.
It's not the kind of family. If this sister and brother-in-law come to him, Tang Letian may have a flaw.
It’s not that Tang Letian doesn’t want to find a proper identity for himself, but that Qing Guangbian is very strict in household registration management, especially in the Imperial City, where every person entering and leaving the Imperial City must have a clearance document.
This young man named Tang Cheng was a corpse discovered by Tang Letian in Shandong. Although he had not been dead for a long time, his body was bitten by wild beasts and his appearance could not be distinguished.
Tang Letian just felt that the boy was about the same height as him, and he carried the pass-through document with him.
There were several letters in the package he carried with him, which was also from the letters that Tang Letian learned about the general life experience of the young man.
At the same time, we also know whether the teenager is going to Beijing to take the literary exam.
This identity is just in line with Tang Letian's needs.
Originally, Tang Letian wanted to enter the capital directly through escape skills. With the identity of Tang Cheng, Tang Letian could enter the capital openly and move in the capital in a regular capacity.
This identity fell from the sky for Tang Letian, so Tang Letian used it without hesitation.
Tang Letian also thought of going to this city, slowly develop, and then changing his identity.
After all, with Tang Letian's cultivation level, he can now use mind reading techniques to some ordinary people to seize their memories. However, if he wants to save them, Tang Letian's current cultivation level is still a little short of that. He is waiting for him to gain a firm foothold in this city, and he thinks that his cultivation level has reached that level.
Tang Letian wandered around the city and finally found a mid-range inn to settle in.
The inn in the early morning is different from the surrounding streets and alleys, and it seems a bit busy.
Some merchants prepared their luggage and goods and prepared to leave the imperial capital.
Some students also got up early and started morning exercises and running. Tang Letian's arrival did not attract much attention.
After all, it is now the annual civil and military examination, and there are many students like Tang Letian.
Everyone is busy with their own affairs.
The waiter led Tang Letian to a small room and then left yawning.
Tang Letian's room with a musty smell, but Tang Letian cannot afford a better room, but this room is most in line with his identity.
There was a snoring sound from the room next door, and it sounded like I could be suffocated to death at any time.
Tang Letian thought of a fat man with a big figure and sleeping like a mountain.
Tang Letian's ears moved, and on the other side was the sound of writing and painting, and he was obviously a diligent scholar.
Tang Letian looked at his room, placed a bed horizontally, a table vertically, a chair, a teapot and a cup, and a charcoal basin filled with ashes. This is all the arrangement of the room. The original color of the wooden floor can no longer be seen. The beams on the top of his head were hung with thick layers of gray, spider webs were stacked, and the window paper on the wooden panes were pasted layer by layer, but there were still several holes of large and small.
A resident in front of this house seemed to have just left, so there was still a trace of heating in the house, but the charcoal in the charcoal basin had long been burned out.
Tang Letian took the charcoal basin and went to find the waiter, bought a pound of carbon, which ignited and brought it back to the room.
Although Tang Letian's cultivation at this time was no longer afraid of the cold and heat, it was always comfortable to burn a basin of charcoal fire in the deserted house.
Sure enough, after the charcoal fire entered the house, the whole room became warm.
Tang Letian decided to go to the next door to learn about the scholar and chat.
However, before Tang Letian got up, the door of the next door creaked open, and the scholar walked out of the room.
Tang Letian immediately opened the door and walked out.
Then Tang Letian saw the scholar. It was indeed a young student. He looked about in his early twenties. He was wearing a blue dress and tied his hair with a bun. He looked outstanding. At this time, his arms and waist were moving. I think he was tired of studying and came out to breathe and rest.
When the young student saw that Tang Letian was also dressed in blue, he couldn't help but greet Tang Letian enthusiastically and bowed and asked, "Did you come to take the exam too?"
Tang Letian nodded immediately and said, "I'm just here to test and explore the test questions this year, and it's not really going to take the exam."
For example, Tang Letian, who came to get familiar with the exam room and the exam questions in the first year, is not surprising.
The student walked up very enthusiastically and smiled with a sunny smile: "My name is Chen Sheng, what is my name? Where does it come from?"
Tang Letian responded: "Tang Cheng comes from Tang County 300 miles away."
