Wuma didn't know anything. He simply believed that the success of the Song Dynasty was an accident. He didn't know how widespread the interests involved, nor how the industrial chain was formed.

He was just sighing, envious and jealous of the glory of the Song Dynasty today.

Complex emotions were already brewing in his heart. Of course, not only him, but also the entire team. After seeing the train, they fell into silence. They didn't know what kind of power there was in the world that could fight against it.

Under this extreme emotion, the team came to the outside of Tiananmen Gate, the capital of Shendu. Although Renqin Sangbo had described the glory of Tiananmen Gate to them, his whole body trembled when Wuma and others saw this city gate that was about to cover the sky.

It is said that the height of the city wall of Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty was eight zhang, but the wall of the Shendu City in front of me was at least ten zhang high!

Even so, you can still see the raised eaves, high roofs, as well as countless arrow towers and buildings lower than the palace in the distance, which shows that the height of the houses in the city is even higher than the city walls that are ten feet tall!

The shock in his heart could no longer be described in words. The group could only walk into the city gate in a daze. The people around him looked at them with curious expressions, but they lost interest after a while.

Soon Wuma knew why, the city was simply a land of all nations. Not only could you see Westerners wearing Han clothes, but you could also see Westerners with white skin and Kunlun slaves wearing black.

In addition to referring to Kunlun Mountain, the so-called word Kunlun also means black things. Since the Tang Dynasty, these black people have been called Kunlun slaves. This is the name no matter where they come from.

Some come from the South China Sea, some come from India, and some come from Dashi. Although they are not well-known in language and look different, they are all black-skinned, so they are collectively called Kunlun slaves by the Han people.

In the Song Dynasty, buying and selling slaves was illegal, but buying and selling Kunlun slaves was an exception. These people were not only not abused and murdered when they were bought, but were kept by their masters as "baby".

Some Kunlun slaves brought by the great cannibals even asked to be sold by the Song people themselves. They knew that once they were sold by the Song people, they would live a good life.

An interesting story appeared in the newspapers of the Song Dynasty, saying that a rich man planned to sell a Kunlun slave. After all, this was once a treatment that only high-ranking officials and nobles in the Tang Dynasty could have.

One day he met another rich man who bought Kunlun Serfs, so he asked his Kunlun slave to ask about his privacy. Who knew that these two Kunlun slaves did not come from the same place at all.

In order to show his ability in front of his master, his Kunlun slave lied and said, "The other party likes to eat banana leaves the most!"

So in order to show his wealth, he invited the other party to eat this expensive southern fruit. The other party did not doubt that he had him. Naturally, he accepted this expensive southern fruit without hesitation. Who knew that he died after eating it for a while...

The yamen runners in Peking Prefecture solved the case in a quarter of an hour, but they were useless to ask the criminal masters of the Criminal Department. In the end, this incident was aroused. Many people dared to be dishonest to the Kunlun slaves who reported their family, etc. These Kunlun slaves became less and less popular.

"Wait card!"

Seeing that the city gate had passed, the soldiers guarding the city asked the delegation's team to show the pass-through sign, which had never been encountered in the city before.

Wu Cheng frowned and pointed to the armor on his body and said, "The Ningxia Lu Jingbian Army escorted the Tubo delegation to Beijing, with documents and pass certificates, why do you need a waist card?"

The soldiers guarding the city shook their heads and said, "It would be fine if they came yesterday, just go directly to Honglu Temple. But starting from today, any soldiers with more than 300 soldiers entering the city must send someone to the waist sign of the commander of the four wings of the hall front office."

Wu Cheng could only sigh in secret and sent his personal soldiers to the palace front office with his documents. This was the first time he encountered such a thing. He asked the soldiers guarding the city curiously: "What's wrong? Why are you so strict?"

"What is the general's words? God dares not say these things in a confidential way..."

"I'm itchy? Look at the imperial guards you just joined in like this? Do you know when you went to the border to change your defense?"

The soldier's face changed and he looked at Wu Cheng and said, "I don't know if it was a warrior from the west. The young man neglected his superiors. Is there any war on Ningxia? If the young man goes to the Western Army, he might have achieved military achievements?"

Wu Cheng looked at his appearance and said, "It's hard! The city defense is being repaired in the west. Who can tell the court's affairs accurately? If it's a Tubo... forget it, you haven't said why the city defense has been stepping up!"

"The New Year is coming. I heard that the officials will hold a banquet in Qionglinyuan this year and invite all the soldiers guarding the border..."

"Do you want to ask for it all?"

"This is natural! Can the emperor's words be wrong?"

After the soldiers guarding the city said, "You should also know that the commanders of each border army have personal soldiers and generals, and there are naturally many people who arrive at the capital, so the front office of the palace issued this order."

Wu Cheng thought about it, nodded and said, "It's good that there are so many people and many things..."

From the conversation between Wu Cheng and the gatekeeper, Wu Ma speculated that the Song Dynasty would no longer use troops to Tubo before the Chinese New Year this year, but is Qionglinyuan a place where the emperor of the Song Dynasty hosted civil servants and the new top scholars? Why are they also hosted military generals now?

The cavalry sent out came back soon, but it was slower. It took nearly an hour to come back and came back with two waist cards.

Wu Cheng took a look and handed it to Wu Ma and said, "Empress, this is a waist card. Your delegation can freely enter and exit the Shendu City."

Wu Ma looked at Wu Cheng in surprise, but he didn't expect that he could enter and exit the Shendu City freely. Doesn't this mean that he could walk freely on the land of the Song Dynasty?

"Your country is not worried about my Tubo mission leaving?"

"Leave? Can you leave before you finish your business? When you leave, I will escort you back. Give you a waist card just to make it easier for you to go out of the city to buy. The bulk transactions are carried out outside the city. Don't your delegation often buy a large amount of goods and bring them back?"

Even if there were two red plateaus on his face, it could not stop Wu Ma's shame. His whole face turned red, but he could not deny Wu Cheng's words. He could only speak out: "Thank you for your care..."

Wu Cheng smiled and asked the adjutant to lead a brigade of cavalry to the military camp near Xuanwu Gate, while he continued to escort Wuma to the Honglu Temple with a few personal soldiers.

Only when I arrived at Shendu City did I know what glory and prosperity meant. Compared with the prosperity of Datong Prefecture, here, it can only be regarded as prosperous as a thrift.

When Wuma arrived in the capital of God, she realized what luxury was. There were many luxurious carriages, and an exquisite pendant could be hung on ordinary people.

In front of the shops, there were polite Xiaosi or maids, who handed exquisite colorful paper to the pedestrians passing by.

In Wuma's eyes, these colorful papers are valuable and are sent to passers-by at will, and almost every family does this.

Paper is something that only nobles deserve on the plateau, but it can be seen almost everywhere in the Song Dynasty. Even the vendors who fry fruits would wrap food in a kind of hemp paper to hand it to the guests!
