Traveling from Jiangzhou Prefecture to the Capital City is no short journey.
Aaron had inquired about the specific route from Scholar Gu before, after all, within the entire Luzhou Collection, he alone had the experience of traveling to the capital for the examination.
According to Scholar Gu, one could take the land route to Golden Stone City first, then switch to the water route heading north, which required considerable effort.
Golden Stone City is a strategic town in Da Song South, with a population of hundreds of thousands, as well as the presence of Zhongshan Longpan and Stone Tiger Lair, acclaimed as the foundation of emperors.
Especially since the opening of the Grand Canal to the north, the exchange between the north and south had become much more convenient.
Scholars heading to the capital for exams could now take a boat directly, which was much better than before.
"Jiangnan is a land of beauty, Golden Stone the emperors' abode."
