The commercial streets in the city are still cross-shaped, with more than a mile of road from north to south and east to west, and there are all kinds of shops and commercial buildings, and there are two or three hundred.

The names of the shops, all with the name "Li", are obviously opened by the Li clan.

Li Luo crossed the cross street and entered a blue brick avenue, with buildings with blue walls and black tiles on both sides, which had a somewhat solemn and heavy atmosphere.

Every building has a plaque, and even a few buildings have guards at the gate.

Along the way, there are family treasury, family hall, family martial arts hall, family officials hall, family work hall, family fu hall, family law hall, family prison and so on.

Well, it's completely a miniature court team.

After this "Yamen District", we entered a square larger than a football field, with 36 stone lampstands on the square, and a large bell tower and drum tower stood on both sides.

"Knock-knock-"

At this time, it was already dusk, and the big drum on the drum tower was beating, and the sound spread for several miles.

After the square, there is a high hall with heavy eaves of five rooms and six columns, and the words on the flat forehead are: "Yangzheng Hall".

It seems that this is the main hall where the head of the Li family sits on the council. It is equivalent to the "Golden Luang Palace".

At the entrance of the Yangzheng Hall, there are several pillars of towering green pines on the left and right, and the age of the trees is estimated to be hundreds of years old.

Bypass the "Yangzheng Hall" and enter a water-paved road, at the end of which is the gate to the back residence.

The clear stones under the eaves of the gate were dripped out of the water hole by the rain. The stone beasts guarding the gate were also eroded by the wind to mottled colors. The moss on the eaves tiles turned the black tiles completely blue.

A brick, a tile, and a tree all show a sense of ancient vicissitudes.

It is worthy of a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years.

On the contrary, Li Luo is more interested in these things that carry time.

There are also stewards and armor guards at the door of the back house, and when they see Li Huiqing, they all salute and call the four ladies.

Entering this gate, the scene changed again, as if there was a cave.

At a glance, the pavilions and pavilions, the water pavilion flower corridor, the clear pond and the secluded forest, the shadow is sufficient, and it is a good place to be rich and noble.

It wasn't until here that Li Luo saw that the Li family city had a private house.

Li Huizhi introduced while leading the way: "Cousin, now there are more than 1,000 clans in the city, plus domestic slaves, retainers, family soldiers, etc., there are more than 8,000 people. Compared to the royal palace, it is only big and not small. ”

Is it bigger than the king's palace? Li Luo was a little speechless.

Li Huizhi continued: "This is just the people in the city. In addition to Jiacheng, our Li family also has dozens of Zhuangzi and more than 20,000 field slaves in various places, and I don't know how many there are in the mountains, forests, and rivers. ”

She wanted to see the look of shock, envy, and excitement on Li Luo's face.

And then, no.

Of course, Li Luo was surprised by the sheer size of the Li clan in his heart. But for him, a modern person, no matter how rich the Li family is, it can't reach the point where he is envious and excited.

The Li family city is indeed larger than all the preserved private residences in China in later generations, compared to it, the Suzhou garden is like a small garden, the Qiao family compound is like a small courtyard, and the famous Prince Gong's mansion is like a rich man's house.

Even the Forbidden City is not as large as the Li family's city in terms of area alone.

But this can only show that Goryeo is an aristocratic society, and nothing else.

It is too unfair to compare the scale of private buildings in the bureaucratic feudal era with those in the aristocratic era.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the three Huan of the Lu State and the seven Mu of the Zheng State were all closed to the city, and they would never be smaller than the Li family's city.

Even if the Li family city is really a city, so what? In later generations, the antique tourist attractions built in a random area are not smaller than this, and there are more people.

Seeing Li Luo's unsurprised and light-hearted look, Li Huizhen's evaluation of this "cousin" couldn't help but go up to a new level.

How many people who come to the Li family city for the first time, even if the official position is not low, will be shocked. But this cousin waited to ignore it, and he didn't have to think that he must have seen the world.

The reason why Li Huizhi became enthusiastic about Li Luo was, of course, because of the "jade porcelain".

More than a month ago, a beautiful new porcelain flowed out of Hanyang Province, crushing Goryeo celadon as soon as it was born, becoming the most sought after porcelain.

And the bottom of the jade porcelain turned out to be the four characters of "Renzhou Li"!

Now, the batch of jade porcelain of Shanhai Trading Company has been sold out, and several big shopkeepers have come to the door to ask for continued supply.

The Li family was originally a shareholder of Shanhai Trading Company, and if there was really jade porcelain, of course it would be supplied to Shanhai Trading Company.

But the question is, where does the Li family have jade porcelain?

Of course, Li Huizhi knew who was the real owner of jade porcelain. In April, when she was in Hanyang Mansion, she met Li Luo, who claimed to be her cousin, and Li Luo also gave her an excellent jade porcelain pen wash, which had the four characters of Renzhou Li on it.

Li Huizhi returned to the family to report the matter secretly, which immediately caused a sensation in the clan hall, and soon, Li Qi, the head of the family who was an official in Wang Jing, also got the news.

After the family's evaluation of jade porcelain, it was concluded that if it was controlled and operated by the family, with the business channels of the Li family distributing Goryeo, Central Plains, and Wa Kingdom, it would be able to obtain at least two or three hundred thousand net profits a year!

This is a greater benefit than celadon.

The Li family has 100,000 acres of land, more than a dozen large ships, and a large number of shops and commercial buildings, and the annual income of such an industry is only two or three hundred thousand yuan.

In other words, if you hold the "jade porcelain" in your hands, your annual income will double! Even for the Li family, "jade porcelain" is a huge temptation that cannot be resisted.

Therefore, the clan elder hall and the head of the family have always decided to make the jade porcelain printed with "Renzhou Li's" truly become the Li family's industry at any cost.

Not to mention that Li Luo is very likely to be the bloodline of the Li family, even if he is not, the Li family can make him be.

As for what Li Luo wants, it is nothing more than the support and recognition of the Li family, which is easy to do. As long as Li Luo is willing to give up the interests of jade porcelain, his birth, position, and power can be given by his family.

Fortunately, Li Luo took the initiative to leave an address with Li Huizhen, so that the Li family could send someone to Jianghua to find Li Luo.

This is also the reason why Li Huizhi called Li Luo's cousin in public and confirmed his status as a descendant.

These Dao Dao, Jin Guangxian brothers and sisters don't know yet, they still think that Li Luo is really recognized by the Li family because of his bloodline.

Li Hui took Li Luo through the pavilions and pavilions, and finally came to a courtyard called "Lanchi Xiyuan".

"Cousin, you are not an outsider, so you don't live in the guest house. Do you know who lived in this Lanchi Creek Garden? ”

Li Luo looked at Lanchi Xiyuan in the afterglow of the sunset, his eyes showed sadness, and he said slowly: "Lanchi Xiyuan is the house where my father lived when he was a teenager. ”

Li Hui nodded, also showing sadness, "Yes, it is my uncle's yard back then." ”

Although most of her sadness is fake, there are also a small half true. After all, Li Luo's "father" Li Jian is her third uncle, and there is still blood relationship.

Regarding Li Luo's identity, Li Huizhi himself believes it. Most of the clan elders also believe that it is true. The head of the family, Li Qi, was skeptical.

But with bone china, none of these suspicions matter.

"Lanchi Xiyuan is not only my uncle's courtyard back then, but also my cousin's. The yard was cleaned up half a month ago, cousin, please come in. ”

Li Luo followed in, and what he saw was an extremely delicate and beautiful small courtyard, covering an area of less than two acres. But see the fine house Huaxuan, the red curtain embroidered household, the pond water is rippling, the stream stone is quiet, the summer lotus is like brocade, and the orchid fragrance is lush.

This place is really nice.

As soon as Li Luo came in, he alerted a few people to come out of the wing room in the corner, and saw that they were dressed as maids here.

The leader was a middle-aged woman in her forties.

Li Hui asked: "Zhen Shangyuan, Wulangjun has arrived, come and see it!" ”

The woman came with a stride and saluted Li Luo: "The humble minister Zhen Liangxiu has seen it...... I've seen Gorou-kun! ”

After speaking, she raised her head, her expression was a little excited, and even tears appeared in her eyes.

"It's really like, Gorou-kun really looks like San Lang back then!" Zhen Liangxiu said with surprise on her face.

Li Hui asked: "Fifth brother, this Zhen Shangyuan was the personal maid of the third uncle back then, and he was very loyal to the third uncle. ”

Li Luo was a little speechless, is the Li family too into the play? actually found Li Jian's maid back then, saying that it was "too similar".

It's funny.

However, Li Luo really misunderstood, this is really not Li's play. It's that he does look a little like Li Jian.

What is no book without coincidence?

That's it.
