From the outside, the outer walls of the imperial capital are no different from before.
It is still the ancient city wall full of historical vicissitudes, with knife marks and dark red marks scattered on it. Even the two dangerous statues at the door have not changed at all. In fact, except for some damaged in the war, Except for houses or slums, most of the buildings have been preserved.
From the founding of the empire to the present, this imperial capital has a history of nearly a thousand years.
"Miss Mavis, are you lucky enough to be able to visit the Gurley Chamber of Commerce?" Shen Fu said politely.
Compared to the changes in the Imperial Capital, he is now more interested in the so-called Gurley Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps he can gain some unexpected benefits before meeting the person in charge.
"Of course, no problem, General Shen." Miss Mavis looked happy.
She even thought that it was her beauty, wealth and temperament that fascinated General Shen.
This misunderstanding lasted until Emilia got off the carriage at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce.
With her beauty and temperament, even the most narcissistic women can't help but be impressed by Emilia. The only thing Mavis can find some self-esteem in is wealth, and this self-esteem makes her even more arrogant, even if she is so beautiful A woman's husband does not have to be subdued by her wealth.
A group of beautiful girls with different charms gather on the street, which will naturally attract everyone to watch, not to mention the appearance of several of the girls.
However, the most eye-catching person here is Esdeath.
"That's...General Esdeath."
"It's really General Esdeath."
"General Esdeath is back!"
The vast majority of the people looked excited, and even couldn't help but gather together.
It has to be said that the former Esdeath had a popularity that she had never expected among those she considered weak. Just being a general but not bullying the people, and always guarding the border for the country were enough. Let her status among the people stand out from the group of nobles who are like animals.
Mavis gritted her teeth secretly. She used to be the daughter of a small businessman and the object of oppression by the nobles. Esdeath was naturally her idol.
However, that is all in the past. Now she has gained astonishing wealth through her own efforts, and Esdeath is no longer even a general, but just a subordinate of a small general.
Naturally, she carefully concealed this disdain and jealousy. She knew very well that now that General Yang had left, she was not qualified to offend a Chinese general. However, when she used her wealth to seduce General Shen, After living here, haha.
Esdeath simply waved her hand, and the people who gathered around fell silent, but they still looked at her with excited expressions.
"I am no longer a general, and I have official duties when I come back this time, so you can retreat on your own." After Esdeath said these words, he took a step back to Shen Fu and said no more.
Shen Fu didn't say anything, he just looked in front of him. This was a magnificent palace-like building built on a rockery in the imperial capital. The steps made of white marble alone were tens of meters high. Shen Fu It seems that I have a little impression of this place... Yes, in the past, this was the largest sales treasury in the imperial capital, and only nobles had the opportunity to enjoy it. In the original book, Ma Yin seemed to have sniped and assassinated a nobleman here.
Unexpectedly, this place has now become the headquarters of the so-called Gurley Chamber of Commerce.
Shen Fu's heart became heavier and heavier.
Mavis had been secretly paying attention to Shen Fu. After seeing him staring here, she just thought that he was shocked by the prosperous scene. It seemed that the generals from China were only so knowledgeable.
"Let's go, General Shen, let me introduce you." Yingying stretched out her hand, and then took the lead to walk up the steps.
Shen Fu followed her and looked around here. He didn't see the surveillance equipment personnel or the Chinese troops maintaining order. There were only gorgeously dressed businessmen walking on the steps. But just now on the street All the ordinary people stayed under the steps and looked up. Although there was no one guarding them, no one dared to follow.
"Beatrice, how are the mental fluctuations of these people?" Shen Fu asked Beatrice in his mind.
"Very good." Beatrice replied, "Positive, full of confidence in the future and confidence in yourself, whether these businessmen or ordinary people on the streets are the same, but well, this is a matter of course. , No matter what, life now is countless times better than before."
Shen Fu was speechless.
Yes, Shen Fu still believes that it is impossible for these people to have the courage to disobey the Chinese order. For ordinary people who have been cruelly treated by the nobles, how can they have food, shelter, and safety guarantees now and not be right in the future? Be confident.
However, this is not the reason why class concepts can be re-formed and expanded rapidly in such a short period of time.
On the way from the steps to the hall, everyone they met would greet Mavis politely, but in most cases she just walked by proudly, and those people did not feel disrespected, Shen Fu felt Yes, their respect for Mavis was natural, just like a company employee meeting the company president in the main world.
But, that's the problem.
Shen Fu had heard very clearly before that the Gurley Chamber of Commerce should be a auxiliary chamber of commerce alliance, not a private property of a certain family.
"Miss Mavis seems to be very respected." Shen Fu said seemingly casually.
"Of course." Mavis raised her head and said, "If it weren't for me, they would just be the ordinary small businessmen they used to be. How could they be where they are today."
"Oh?" Shen Fu showed just the right amount of surprise, "I didn't expect Miss Mavis to have made such a big contribution to the development of the Chamber of Commerce. No wonder she became friends with Miss Yang."
Mavis became even more proud. The compliments from the Chinese generals were obviously more weighty than the compliments from these ordinary businessmen.
"The relationship between Miss Yang and me is, well, like sisters." Mavis couldn't help but show off the idioms she learned, "Even though she has returned to China with Commander Yang, she still writes to me from time to time, He also said that he would take me to China and become a true Chinese nobleman. Even General Yang Da also thinks highly of me."
Shen Fu's expression suddenly became a little strange.
There are no aristocrats in China, so what she said must be a bit of bragging, but I don’t know how serious it is. Does Yang Zhijun really value her?
