Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 846 806: Now This Matches My Imagination

What Lin Yi had imagined before was completely different from what he saw now, you could say they were worlds apart.

In his imagination, the city gate would surely lead to bustling streets.

It's often depicted in those TV dramas.

After entering the city walls, the road would be lined with various shops, and countless small stalls would be hawking their wares along the streets—this was his impression of ancient life, his impression of an ancient city.

anwhile, Leng Yu was montarily stunned upon hearing his question, not understanding why Young Master Lin would ask such a thing—aren't all cities like this?

Pedestrians being in a hurry is perfectly normal, it's explicitly regulated by the court that no one should linger here without a reason.

After all, this is a critical location at the city gate; if people gather here, it would first affect the normal flow in and out of the city, and secondly, it could easily lead to danger.

If spies from the enemy were indeed to sneak in and cause trouble here, then the garrison at the city walls would be the first to be affected.

At such tis, the garrison would find it difficult to function effectively, and once the enemy opens the city gate, the garrison on the walls would beco aningless.

It's precisely because of this reason that in every capital city, people are not allowed to linger at the city gate.

Of course, if you're outside the city, then nobody would restrain you.

As for why there were no vendors selling along the way, first of all, it's because lingering isn't allowed here, and secondly, vendors have designated areas.

After a brief hesitation, Leng Yu figured out the cause and effect.

After all, Young Master Lin is an Immortal, not soone living in this society, so it's completely normal for him not to understand here.

So Leng Yu patiently began to explain to Lin Yi.

Telling him that the court prohibited anyone from lingering here without a reason, and that vendors have designated areas, selling in the East Market and West Market.

Upon hearing this series of explanations, Lin Yi slapped his forehead, and silently cursed that what he learned from history had gone to waste.

This was very similar to the Tang Dynasty depicted in his mind.

Especially when he heard the ntion of the East and West Markets, it instantly reminded him of the Tang Dynasty's East Market and West Market.

A famous poem had also ntioned these markets, which was the renowned "Ballad of Mulan," with lines like: "Buy a steed at the East Market, buy saddle and gear at the West Market."

From these lines, one could see the comprehensiveness of the goods sold in the East and West Markets.

Also, it highlighted that the things sold in both markets were different.

Sothing like a steed in today's society would be considered an extrely noble item.

Much like the luxury car dealerships of the 21st century, and those selling high-end luxury models.

And these luxury car 4S shops are located in a famously bustling city.

As for the accessory shops? They could only open in the relatively lower-end West Market.

Thinking here afterward, Lin Yi finally understood the situation and recognized reality.

He didn't linger any longer, instead let Leng Yu lead him towards the East and West Markets.

Why was Leng Yu leading him and not him leading Leng Yu?

Does it even need thinking? This was Lin Yi's first ti entering the Youguo Capital City.

Or more accurately, it was his first ti entering an ancient capital city, so he truly felt unfamiliar here.

Although Leng Yu rarely cos here, he still lives in ancient tis and has been here before, so he had a certain familiarity based on mory.

Just like that, after about a quarter of an hour, the two of them finally reached outside the East Market.

Gazing at the towering, huge archway before him, Lin Yi couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration. One has to admit, the architectural skills of the ancients were really high.

This archway, purely built from stone, must have gathered countless skilled craftsn, employing countless ingenious thods.

Especially since in today's society, cent didn't even exist.

Building such a massive and magnificent stone archway without reinforced concrete was definitely no easy task.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say, even if this archway was transported to the 21st century, without letting those construction crews do the work.

If not using reinforced concrete, it might still be possible.

But without any lifting equipnt, then it's definitely very difficult.

Just as Lin Yi was marveling at the huge stone archway before him, Leng Yu's voice simultaneously rang out beside him.

"In the East Market of the capital, it's called 'tropolis', and the West Market is called 'Benefit', here, it's also the most prosperous place in the entire city.

Currently, the East Market we're in connects east with Daozheng Square and Changle Square, west with Pingkang Square and Xuanyang Square, south with Anyi Square, north with Yishengye Square and Dayou Palace.

The West Market is east adjacent to Yanshou Square and rit Square, west connects with Qunxian Square and Huaide Square, south wraps around Huaiyuan Square, north joins with Liquan Square.

The East and West Markets each cover an area of about two squares, belonging to Wannian County and Changan County.

The East Market stretches about 924 strides east to west, and 1000 strides north to south.

The West Market stretches 927 strides east to west, and 1031 strides north to south, it's considered one of the largest markets inside the Royal City.

Each market boasts two horizontal paths and two vertical streets, forming a 'well'-shaped nine blocks.

rchants enter the market according to the rule of 'nine markets open, goods sorted into corridors', shops dealing in the sa kind of goods gather in the sa block.

Each market has two gates around, convenient for the movent of people and goods."

No denying it, Leng Yu was indeed very knowledgeable about this place, talking so thoroughly that Lin Yi was deeply stunned.

As they walked inside, listening to Leng Yu's introduction.

Lin Yi's gaze continuously scanned the surroundings.

If he had to use one sentence to describe the current East and West Markets, then Lin Yi could clearly tell you, it's a paradise for traders, a haven for shopaholics.

Even though there weren't tall buildings or bustling traffic, there was an incredibly thriving air.

On this vast street, all sorts of people crowded, hustling and bustling, while lively shops flanked each side.

In front of the shops, along the streets, various small stalls were set up.

Until this very mont, Lin Yi finally felt a sense of familiarity.

Now this was like the ancient capital city he imagined!

However, just as he looked around at this lively scene, marveling in his heart, suddenly...
