A few days later, the sky finally cleared, and Zhao Yao took Song Jicai and the other three down the mountain to explore Jinling City. They were awestruck by the city's prosperity.
Jinling City is the capital of Jiangnan, historically the most prosperous and wealthy prefecture in Jiangnan. Although it experienced the turmoil of the previous dynasty, Jinling City is still more prosperous than the capital. Furthermore, Jinling City has always been a place that nurtures talent. Over the centuries, it has produced countless scholars and talented people.
Faced with the grandeur and luxury of Jinling City, Zhao Yao remained calm, having seen even more flourishing countries and cities in his dreams, but Song Jicai and the other three had never seen such a bustling city. They were as excited and curious as country bumpkins entering the city for the first time, looking around and touching everything.
