Chapter 372: First Acquaintance with Yidu
Chai Bin drove the carriage straight to Dongcheng, as if he knew the confusion in Li Ziyu's heart, and explained in a low voice: "Our Yi capital is overall rectangular. It is about 8 kilometers long from east to west and about 4-6 kilometers wide from north to south. The river in the middle is the grain river, which divides Yidu into two cities, east and west. On the east bank of the Yunliang River, the width of the base of the wall is 40 meters, and the total length can be 18 kilometers.
The east city is much larger than the west city, and in the middle to the north, there is an east-west partition wall that divides the east city into north and south parts.
The base of the partition wall in the middle is 20 meters wide and 4,460 meters long. The west city is composed of three city walls in the north, west and south and the grain river, the west wall is relatively straight, and the north wall has a bend. There is a village called Xidou Village, which turns a few bends in the west of Xidou Village, the north of the village, and the east of the village, forming a compound bucket shape.
There is a swallow village on the south wall, turn south from the west of the village and cross the Yishui River to the west entrance of a village called Longwantou Village, and then go east, you can connect with the west bank of the Yunliang River.
The three walls of the western city are 40 meters wide at the base and can be 14 kilometers long."
In Chai Bin's description, Li Ziyu has a general understanding of the whole picture of Yidu.
In the east city of Yidu, it is divided into palace area, handicraft workshop area, citizen residential area, tomb area and ancient river road area.
The palace area is located in the northeast of Yidu and consists of three groups of buildings. The large main building Wu Balcony is located in the center of the palace area, with a maximum length of 140 meters from east to west and a maximum width of 110 meters from north to south.
Unlike the outer city walls, which are built with bricks, the palace complexes inside are generally built with rammed earth.
Rammed earth technology was used to build high platforms with different heights and volumes on the ground plane. Then build the palace on the high platform, the height is staggered, majestic and magnificent.
These rammed-earth platform buildings are not only tall but also numerous. It fully shows the majestic spirit of Yidu and the luxury and pomp of the palace building.
To the north of the Wu Balcony, there is Wangjingtai, Zhanggongtai and Laomutai, which are located on a central axis. In the northeast, southeast and southwest of the Wu Terrace, there are also three groups of large palace complexes, which are the places where the children of the royal family live.
The east palace gate of the palace area is called Qinglong Gate, and the street outside is called Qinglong Street; The North Palace Gate is called Xuanwu Gate, and the North Street outside is called Xuanwu Street; The West Palace Gate is called Baihu Gate, and the street outside is called Baihu Street; The Nangong Gate is called Suzaku Gate. The street outside is called Suzaku Street.
To the west of Baihu Street and to the north of Suzaku Street are the tombs of Yidu. When I first heard about it, Li Ziyu was very puzzled, wasn't it true that the royal tombs were all chosen in places with mountains and rivers in the background? How could it be buried in the city?
But. The thinking of ancient people is not understood by her, a young woman of modern times, and perhaps there is his unique rhetoric.
To the east of Baihu Street, to the south of Suzaku Street, and to the north of Middle Street, it is the residential area of dignitaries and nobles in Yiduli. Of course. In the middle, there were also imperial merchants and some low-level officials with good family conditions.
It is in the area west of Baihu Street, south of Suzaku Street, and north of Middle Street. It is a handicraft workshop area.
To the south of Middle Street, to the west of Baihu Street, and to the north of South Street, there are ordinary residential areas where ordinary people live.
In the south of Middle Street, east of Baihu Street, and north of South Street, it is a bustling commercial area, which is lined with various shops, and it is the most lively place in Yidu.
Of course, these are the main streets. In the cracks of the main street, there are also various small streets and alleys.
And Li Ziyu and the drunken fairy building they are going to are located in this commercial area. In the heart of South Main Street.
Along the way, although Li Ziyu listened to Chai Bin's introduction, she was in the carriage and scanned the surrounding movements through the gap in the curtain.
She noticed that most of the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, and there was nothing to stop on the street. And in the corner where no one is noticed, there are hidden spies dressed as ordinary people, always keeping an eye on the movement on the street.
As soon as Li Ziyu's carriage stopped at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Tower, it attracted the attention of a man in a gray robe in the corner, and his eyes were fixed on them.
Of course, Li Ziyu and Chai Bin also noticed it, and the two didn't care.
After Chai Bin stopped the carriage, he opened the curtain and said respectfully: "Miss, it's too late today, let's stay here for one night." ”
Wang Qiuyue took the lead in jumping out of the carriage and helped Li Ziyu down: "Miss, slow down." ”
Li Ziyu pretended to be weak and willowy, and got out of the carriage delicately. The contrived frowned and asked, "Where is my cousin's house?" Can't you go today? Living here, isn't it clean inside? ”
Chai Bin coaxed softly: "Miss, you see, it's almost time, it's rude to come to the door like this, and people will laugh at it." Let's make do here for two nights first, and then we'll go back when the people who hand over the post. ”
Li Ziyu looked at the sky helplessly, and looked at the towering three-story building with disgust, and the plaque on it had three golden characters written on it, "Drunken Immortal Building".
Wang Qiuyue stepped forward to support Li Ziyu and whispered, "Miss, I'm tired from running all the way, let the slave wait to go in and rest for a while, okay?" ”
Li Ziyu took out a handkerchief from her arms, covered her mouth and nose, and snorted softly: "Okay, but it's okay, if it's not clean here, change it, Miss Ben doesn't live in a dirty place." ”
Li Ziyu's words were originally intended to dispel the suspicions of the people who were secretly staring at them, but he didn't expect to make the young man who greeted the guest at the door angry.
This young man is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he looks quite handsome. At this moment, the nose is not the nose and the face is not the face came over, and said: "I said this young lady, you are all over the city to inquire, who doesn't know that our Drunken Immortal Building is a well-known restaurant?" You can't ruin our reputation before you even move in. If you want to stay you please come in, if you don't stay"
Li Ziyu covered her nose with a handkerchief, squinted at the young man and asked, "What if you don't stay?" Want to drive me away? Are you the guy here? Customers are not welcome to come to your door? So, why are we still living here? Uncle Chai, let's go! ”
The young man was dumbfounded, and hurriedly stopped: "Hey, Miss, I said the wrong thing, can you go, please come in." I promise that the inside is absolutely clean, and if the lady is not satisfied, we will not take a penny. ”
Li Ziyu stared at the young man and asked, "Is this true?" ”
The young man replied, "Seriously." ”
Li Ziyu smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Chai, for the sake of the possibility of living in vain, let's live here." ”
"Yes, Miss!" Chai Bin agreed with a smile, and led the way into the restaurant.
Li Ziyu, supported by Wang Qiuyue, followed closely behind and walked in.
The young man looked at God without tears, and muttered and led the carriage to the backyard.
The gray-clothed man who was staring at them in the dark pursed his lips disdainfully, and secretly said in his heart, where did the soil buns come from? Miss Yet, I don't know that in this Yidu, even calling Hanako is three points noble? So, I turned my attention to the others. (To be continued.) )
