"Shangguan, it is bitterly cold outside. Please close the brocade curtain."
The guard on horseback spoke to Zhao Ding, who was looking out of the carriage window.
Zhao Ding is only forty-three years old this year, but he has already been promoted to the position of Imperial Supervisor of the Imperial Bank of the Great Song Dynasty. His status and position are comparable to Qin Hui's, making him a minister in the emperor's court.
He had only been in Tokyo for a short month; he remembered that the last time he came was five years ago.
In five years, Tokyo seemed to have changed completely.
