Over the years, the capital of Great Sui had grown ever more prosperous. Calling it the foremost city in Central Province was no exaggeration at all.
Pedestrians bustled through its streets, with peddlers, porters, traveling merchants, and camel caravans everywhere.
The sun was about to set, yet the bustle showed no sign of fading.
No wonder people traveling north and south,
even when they had nothing to do, would say they wanted to visit Great Sui's capital.
When was the last time I came here?
Li Ping'an draped an arm around Old Ox's shoulders and gazed at the flourishing capital.
He recalled his previous visit.
It seemed... it seemed he had come to ask Jing Yu for money.
That had been his last visit here.
"So many people~"
Kitten had traveled far and wide with Li Ping'an, but this was her first time seeing such a lively scene.
He had heard that Jing Yu had been summoned back to the palace.
After thinking of the few people he knew in the capital, he decided to head to Jing Yu's residence.
Jing Yu's residence was easy to find.
Jing Yu currently served as Minister of Personnel and a member of the Grand Secretariat.
Though his title was Minister, the head of the Ministry of Personnel had been pleading illness for years.
He wielded the authority of the ministry's head as well; his formal promotion was only a matter of time.
Rumors among the populace also held that this Minister of Personnel would surely become Chief Minister of the Grand Secretariat.
He drank tea by the roadside for a while and took the opportunity to ask the tea waiter where this future Chief Minister of Great Sui lived.
Unexpectedly, Jing Yu enjoyed quite a good reputation among the common people.
