CHAPTER LXXII.

Concerning the City of Caiju.

Caiju is a small city towards the south-east. The people
are subject to the Great Kaan and have paper-money.
It stands upon the river before mentioned.¹ At this place
are collected great quantities of corn and rice to be trans-
ported to the great city of Cambaluc for the use of the
Kaan's Court ; for the grain for the Court all comes from
this part of the country. You must understand that the
Emperor hath caused a water-communication to be made
from this city to Cambaluc, in the shape of a wide and
deep channel dug between stream and stream, between
lake and lake, forming as it were a great river on which
large vessels can ply. And thus there is a communica-
tion all the way from this city of Caiju to Cambaluc ; so
that great vessels with their loads can go the whole way.
