Travels Of Marco Polo: Seventy Six

When a man leaves Tingui he proceeds a day towards the south east through a very fine country finding towns and castles, and then comes to Yangui, a large and beautiful city, which has under it twenty four, all good and great trade.  Its affairs are administered by one of the twelve barons of Khan; Messer Marco Polo, of whom this book treats, governed it three years.  Here are made many arms and other equipment for knight and men of war; for in this place and around it, numerous troops are quartered.  I will now tell you of two great provinces lying to the west, and I shall have much to say.  I will begin with Nanghin.
