"We have been traveling eastward for almost two months, passing through the South Caucasus, Hezhong, and the Western Regions. Then we finally entered the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty and arrived in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province."
"This is an ancient city. It is said to have a history of thousands of years. Historically, it was called Chang'an. It was once the capital of the powerful Tang Dynasty. It is said that our ancestors originated from the grassland province of the Ming Dynasty and were very powerful. As a result, they encountered The powerful Tang Empire was eventually defeated by the Tang Empire and had to move westward."
¡°After all, we Turks are actually a tribe that originated from the East!¡±
Sitting in the carriage, Ali Pasha put down the pen in his hand and looked outside through the window.
In the past, Xi'an was not called Xi'an, but was called Chang'an, Haojing, etc. Many dynasties in history had their capital here. It is truly a city with a long history.
With a trace of expectation, Ali Pasha carefully observed this ancient city.
Xi'an City is the most important city leading to the west from the Ming Dynasty. It is also an important starting point for the Silk Road and the Trade Road. It is also the starting point for the Ming Dynasty to immigrate to the Western Regions, Hezhong and Nanyun Province.
With the Ming Empire¡¯s external expansion and continuous development over the years, the ancient city of Xi¡¯an has also begun to glow with new vitality.
Like most Ming cities today, the original ancient city walls have restricted the expansion and development of the city. Most of the newly built buildings, factories, workshops, etc. are distributed in new areas outside the city walls.
Xi'an City is no exception. At this moment, Ali Pasha, Moses and others have just entered the scope of Xi'an New District.
??A wide, flat cement road connects the four directions. On both sides of the road, you can see a large number of houses under construction. These houses are all houses with reinforced concrete structures. Some are still under construction and some have been completed.
These built houses have whitewashed exterior walls and glass windows, which look very beautiful. The glass reflects dazzling light under the sunlight.
Looking at the land in the distance, huge chimneys reach into the sky, billowing black smoke, and the roar of machines and the busy voices of workers can be heard from factories and workshops.
On the road, four-wheeled carriages came and went, very busy. These four-wheeled carriages were loaded with various parts, goods, etc., and they were constantly going to and from major factories.
The people of Ming Dynasty on the street were all in a hurry and seemed very busy. They seemed to have no time to stop for a moment.
Take a closer look at these Ming people. They all have rosy faces and are in good spirits. They are also wearing good clothes. The older ones are relatively simple. As for the young people, all of them have short hair and shaved beards. Wear new trendy clothes.
¡°Sell newspapers~Sell newspapers~¡±
¡°There is a bumper harvest of food in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. This year¡¯s food is enough for us people of the Ming Dynasty to eat for five years!¡±
"Egyptian canal stocks soared, reaching as high as 130 taels of silver per share~"
"Good news, good news, the Beijing-West Railway has been built to Taiyuan, and it will be able to reach our Shaanxi province next year."
"The Xi'an Stadium has been completed and the Xi'an Football League will be held at the end of the year!"
From time to time, you can hear the shouts of the newsboy, and one after another, people come up to buy the newspaper in his hand.
There are also many shops on both sides of the road. Through the glass windows of these shops, you can see a dazzling array of products on the ground of each shop.
The flow of people on the street is very large, there are many people coming and going, and there are also many customers in each shop. The business is booming and it seems very busy.
??Looking carefully at the people on the street, most of them are Han Chinese. People with dark eyes and black hair can be seen everywhere, but there are also many people with various other faces.
You can also see a lot of people with blond hair, blue eyes, and high noses, but they are basically women. They all look like maids, following their masters and responsible for serving their masters.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? He is holding a child in his arms, and is purchasing goods in Daming dialect, which is not very fluent. And the child in his arms, it can be seen at a glance, that he is a mixed-blood descendant of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
"This is the Central Plains region of the Ming Dynasty?"
Ali Pasha watched carefully.
The four-wheel carriage they were riding in was also moving forward continuously. The people of the Ming Dynasty around them were not very curious about Ali Pasha and others. They just took a look and did not look at them any more. After all, people from all over the world are not in the Ming Dynasty now. It is rare, and as for Xi'an, it is even more so.
Because of Xi¡¯an¡¯s geographical location, slaves coming from the west basically have to pass through Xi¡¯an.The cities of Ming Dynasty, like their capital Istanbul, also become pitch black at night.
However, in fact, Xi'an really becomes lively at night.
I saw buildings one after another, and thousands of lights began to light up. Through the glass windows, it seemed like countless fireflies gathered in the sky, lighting up the buildings.
In the bustling streets, bright whale oil lamps are lit in every shop. Under the reflection of glass lamps, the lights are bright and magnificent.
At the same time, there are special night lights everywhere on the street. The night lights are lit to illuminate the street. Together with the lights of the nearby shops, the street becomes brightly lit, just like daylight. Looking from a distance, Like a straight giant dragon, it keeps extending.
The streets are crowded with people, extremely noisy and lively. Compared with the daytime, it is even more lively and there are more people. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
