If coal had not been introduced earlier, the vegetation near Luoyang and Kaifeng would have been cut down and burned away long ago.

Zhengzhou is very miserable.

It is sandwiched between the two capitals, the East and the West, and is particularly affected by the siphon effect. It is a provincial capital city that is well-run, and it also has trains. After years of development, it only has a population of 300,000.

Xiangyang is also a provincial capital city and has a population of over one million.

The train stopped in Zhengzhou for more than an hour and continued to Xingze County in the northwest.

Xingze County is on the bank of the Bian River.

The two were so tired from taking the train that they stayed in an inn in Yingze for one night. The next day they took a boat along the Bianhe River and entered the Yellow River. The boat soon turned into Luoshui.

"Does my dear brother have a place to stay in Luoyang?"

Meng Shu was about to disembark in Gong County: "If you have no relatives or friends in Luoyang, my dear brother can go to my house first. After some time, I will accompany my dear brother to Luoyang for a meeting."

Xie Yan said: "Brother is waiting in Luoyang. Are all members invited to this Royal Society meeting?"

Meng Shu smiled and said: "How can there be room for so many people? Only the top three bachelors are invited, and my dear brother is a specially invited scholar."

"That's it." Xie Yan said.

Meng Shu clasped his fists and said: "The passenger ship is about to dock. Let's see you in Luoyang. Hey, I'm going to join in the fun of such a grand event. Even if I can't enter the venue, I can still participate by walking around outside."

Xie Yan also clasped his fists and said, "I'll see you later."

When the passenger ship stopped, Meng Shu stepped on the pedal and got off the boat. After landing, he turned around and clasped his fists again.

Xie Yan returned to the cabin to sleep, and when he woke up he was in Luoyang.

The attendant woke him up.

In the dark of night, you can see thousands of lights from far away.

Even though it has been dark for a long time, Luoyang City is still very lively, and the area around the dock can even be said to be bustling with people.

The four followers behind Xie Yan also came to Luoyang for the first time.

They were stunned and stunned!

In fact, this is just the outer area of ​​Luoyang City.

Over the past 100 years, the city wall of Luoyang has not been built any more. However, the area of ​​​​the city wall has continued to expand. The White Horse Temple at Ju Ming's time was in the suburbs, but now it is almost included in the city.

Several followers were asking for directions, but Xie Yan was observing the buildings along the way.

"Most of them are five- or six-story brick and wood structures. The reason why the houses are built so high is probably because the land price is too expensive and they want to accommodate more people."

"Aren't these commercial buildings? Or are they privately built for rent?"

"Fuck, it feels like we have arrived in modern times all of a sudden. The Ming Dynasty is too divided. Luoyang and other places are completely two worlds."

"It's already dark, but it's still so lively. People in Luoyang have a rich nightlife."

"Even if a steam robot suddenly pops out, I won't be surprised anymore..."
