Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????When the snow is flying and the cold wind is biting in Beijing Town in the north, but here in Penglai City, which is in a warm zone, it is as warm as spring and the sun is shining brightly.

    As the New Year approaches, the entire Penglai City becomes extremely lively.

    Penglai City is the largest city in the entire Golden Continent, where many immigrants gather.

    Originally, Penglai City was not the earliest city established in Golden Continent. The Ming Dynasty immigrants first established the immigration office here in Qianhe City, and then went south along the west coast, establishing hundreds of immigration strongholds and towns of various sizes.

    Among them, the famous Golden Bay Golden City prospered due to the mining of gold, while others like Silver City developed due to the mining of silver.

    Penglai City was only established after the Ming Dynasty Ocean Trading Company conquered the Aztec Kingdom and expanded its sphere of influence to the east coast.

    Although it was built relatively late, the development speed is very fast.

    This is mainly due to its superior geographical location.

    Located in the narrow isthmus, it is the most convenient place for communication between the east and west coast of Huangjin Island. If you take a boat from the west coast of Huangjinzhou to the east coast, you need to go around the entire southern Huangjinzhou, a journey of several thousand miles.

    But it¡¯s only over a hundred miles away from the Aztec Kingdom via the narrow isthmus of the Golden Continent, which is very close.

    ?? Huanghuangzhou is located in such a location and is an important location connecting the east and west sides of Huanghuangzhou.

    But what really made Penglai City develop rapidly was the trade with Europeans.

    The profits from trade with Europeans are very large. Penglai City has an excellent port, and a large number of Spanish merchant ships arrive here, continuously bringing massive wealth to Penglai City.

    It quickly stimulated the development of Penglai City. A large number of firms and merchants came to Penglai City to trade with merchants from Europe.

    In just a few years, Penglai City, which was originally just a colonial stronghold, has developed into a sizable city. The population living in Penglai City has exceeded 300,000.

    Although such a city is far from comparable to Beijing and Tianjin in the Ming Dynasty, if it were placed in Europe or anywhere else in the world, it would already be a huge city.

    At this moment, the entire Penglai City has begun to be decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The neatly planned city has straight and straight roads. Couplets and lanterns have been posted at the door of every household, making the entire Penglai City fall into a festive mood.  middle.

    Penglai City has the distinctive characteristics of the city on the Golden Continent. The rich Ming style colors are the main tone, but it also incorporates the styles of a large number of local Yin Shang descendants of the Golden Continent, and at the same time it is influenced by many European styles.

    Similarly, in the streets and alleys of Penglai City, you can see elegant Ming people wearing long robes, as well as Ming sailors and explorers with short hair, shaved beards, and new books and trousers.

    Of course, you can also see the descendants of the Yin Shang who only use cloth to cover their crotch. You can also see some descendants of the Yin Shang wearing Ming Dynasty clothes and speaking Ming dialect, giving people a nondescript feeling.

    Here, you can also see those businessmen and sailors from Europe. These people have a very strong smell. This smell is indescribable. It is the smell of body odor mixed with the smell of inferior perfume and spices, so that many Ming people dislike it.  They covered their noses, making these proud Europeans angry and helpless.

    The port of Penglai City has been expanded repeatedly and is very large. A large number of ships are moored at every wharf, including merchant ships from Europe, and even more Ming ships from various places.

    Expedition teams are constantly disembarking from these ships. Many people in these expedition teams look very tired, but they always have smiles on their faces. It is obvious that they have gained a lot.

    There are many people settling here in Penglai City, and a large number of merchants and explorers have chosen to settle in Penglai City.

    On the one hand, Penglai City has a good location. It is very convenient to go to the west coast or the east coast. There are fixed ships going to various strongholds on the east coast, and there are also horse-drawn carriages going to the west coast.

    Another aspect is that the climate here is very warm. It is as warm as spring all year round. Even though it is already cold winter, it is still very comfortable here.

    Under the sunshine, Penglai Bay is very beautiful. The beach that stretches all the way to the end is extremely clean. The blue sky and blue water are connected at the end. The whole world seems to be blue.

    The last reason is that Penglai City has a strong commercial atmosphere, and there are a lot of transactions every day. The good things discovered by explorers can be sold here for a good price.

    &nbIt doesn¡¯t matter, but on the Golden Continent, because the Golden Continent is vast and sparsely populated, the administrative division of the Golden Continent is very extensive.

    The entire Golden Continent is divided into two governors, the Southern Golden Continent and the Northern Golden Continent, that is, two provinces, the Southern Golden Continent and the Northern Golden Continent.

    Each province is divided into several state capitals very simply, and the state capitals are also divided into simple counties, so that even one county has a very large jurisdiction.

    For example, Penglai City was under the control of Li Zheng. Not only this city, but also almost the entire surrounding Zhonghuanghuangdao area was under the jurisdiction of Penglai City County Government, and the jurisdiction was very large.

    As for the area under the jurisdiction of the state capital, it is even larger. The area under the jurisdiction of a state capital is almost equivalent to half the size of the Ming Dynasty.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
