These days, Liu Xian has been inspecting the environment everywhere in Luoyang City.

Huang Wudie, Yi Ji, and Zhang Ning, the three girls basically visited Luoyang City together. If it weren't for the fact that it would indeed be dangerous to enter the palace, and although Liu Xian had the emperor's jade pendant to enter and leave the palace at any time, he did not say that he could bring people. Otherwise, Liu Xiandu wanted to take the three daughters into the palace to have a look.

Liu Xian didn't have to negotiate with other shops in person, he had already purchased more than a dozen shops, in addition to the shops on Zhengnan Street in the city, he also bought some shops in other urban areas. After all, Luoyang City is too big, and if the commercial goods brought by Liu Xian are to be sold, it will be difficult to radiate to the whole city, and only when shops are opened in each urban area can they affect the whole city.

Now, it has entered the process of renovation, and after it is completed, the goods from outside the city can be delivered to each shop separately and can be officially sold.

What Liu Xian was looking for was a place to open a tavern restaurant.

After inspecting Luoyang City, Liu Xian finally set his sights on the vicinity of Zhengnan Street.

In fact, every street in the city has its own name. For example, Zhengnan Street, which leads from the south gate of the city to the gate of the Imperial Palace, is called Suzaku Street.

On both sides of Suzaku Street, there are basically some relatively high-end shops and restaurants.

Especially those restaurants, which are quite well run, and are relatively formal, not those green buildings.

Dahan's Qinglou is legal, but it may also be due to the problem of influence, so in some major streets, it is not allowed to operate Qinglou restaurants.

The owners of the green buildings are all in places that deviate from the main street.

In such a situation, it is most suitable to buy a restaurant on Suzaku Street. But unfortunately, none of those restaurants are willing to sell, and they can't even talk.

Occupy the shops and restaurants in the most prosperous areas, these are equivalent to golden roosters that will lay eggs, and no one will be stupid enough to sell them, especially when these shops and restaurants basically have deep backgrounds.

On both sides of Suzaku Street, there are net-like criss-crossed streets, and there are small streets and alleys between the streets, which seem to be dotted with stars.

One of them, second only to Suzaku Street, connects to Xicheng District and is called Green Willow Street.

The name of the street is very vivid, intuitively it is that both sides of the street are planted with willow trees, and there are also flower beds, mainly peonies.

Every year in the spring and summer season, the green willow is delicate, the peony blossoms bloom, it is a scene of Luoyang City, at that time, the street is full of pedestrians, and many literati and ink writers like to come here to enjoy the flowers. In addition, there are many activities that are held in this green willow street.

For example, some poetry will be something, anyway, every festival, this street will be quite lively, no worse than the main street in the south of the city.

Then, as the name suggests, Green Willow Street is actually a street with a relatively high concentration of green buildings in Luoyang City.

The four most prestigious green buildings are located on Luliuhua Street. One of them is an official building, and the other three are also leaders in the Qinglou industry, and the most popular Miss Qinglou are almost all from these four Qinglou. In addition, there are many small and medium-sized green buildings, which are also located on this green willow street.

In the words of later generations, this Green Willow Street is actually a red light district. It is a place for people to look for flowers and willows.

It is rumored that every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, a beauty contest will be held for the Oiran of the Green House, which is hosted by the four most prestigious Green Houses to select the first beauty in Luoyang, as well as the top ten beauties.

To participate in the beauty pageant, Miss Qinglou must be complete in color and art, and then the response of the judges and guests will select the Oiran and the top ten beauties.

Last year, because of the Yellow Turban riots, these activities were not held last year, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival re-selected the top ten beauties. It's a pity that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and Liu Xian didn't have time to appreciate this beauty pageant.

Liu Xian is definitely not a restaurant in the nature of a green house. However, after his analysis, he felt that the environment of Green Willow Street was still more suitable for him to open a restaurant. Because, these green buildings really have a saying that they don't sell their bodies. Liu Xian originally planned to engage in some entertainment business, and opened singing and dancing to attract customers, which is actually similar to those who sell their performances but do not sell themselves.

Therefore, Liu Xian decided to find a green building on Luliuhua Street and buy it.

It is definitely impossible to buy the four green buildings, but there are so many other green buildings, there is always one suitable one.

In the afternoon.

Liu Xian, Zheng Bo, Shan Yong, Li Yuan, and Wang Yue, as well as dozens of twenty guards, walked to Luliuhua Street together.

Because there are basically green buildings on this street, Liu Xian didn't let Huang Wudie and Yi Ji follow, as for Zhang Ning, she went out of the city and went to the Liu Mansion caravan camp outside the city, preparing to train the newly recruited 1,000 Liu Xian's guards.

Liu Xian is naturally dressed as a noble son, with a handsome spirit and a graceful demeanor.

"Let's not be in a hurry, let's go and see the four green buildings first, if any of you fancy which girl, you can also play casually."

Liu Xian said to the left and right.

"Well, young master, I still don't want it." Shan Yong's face turned red and he shook his head.

"Haha, Brother Shan Yong, you don't seem to patronize the Qinglou less, right? This is in Luoyang, it can be said that it is the best green building in the world, don't you want to see it? Liu Xian laughed.

Liu Xian himself doesn't have that kind of thought. After all, whether it is in the post-modern era or in this era, Liu Xian has no shortage of women, and has experienced the bombardment of the Internet era, especially the inspiration of the action movies of Xiaori Island Country, which can be said to be indeed a wide range of knowledge. For the Qinglou woman, it is dispensable, and there is no sense of urgency to look forward to.

But Shan Yong, this guy, he is really not a serious person.

"Wang Yue Sword Master, you have lived in Luoyang for many years, do you usually go to the Qinglou to play?" Liu Xian turned to ask Wang Yue, who was a little behind.

"Wang is devoted to studying swordsmanship, how can he have such a mind?" Wang Yue said calmly.

"Oh? This is not very good, as the so-called balance between heaven and earth, the solitary yang does not grow and the yin does not grow, we also have to pay attention to the balance of yin and yang. Liu Xianruo said matter-of-factly: "There is also unfilial piety, and there are three nos." Wang Yue Sword Master, you're only in your forties, right? is also upright in the prime of life, so let's let the righteous mother pay attention to it and introduce you to a family business, this person, after all, there must be a real home, a wife, children and daughters, otherwise, this life is really in vain. ”

"Uh...... Young master, Wang doesn't need to ......"

"No, no, Wang Yue Sword Master, although I say that my son is definitely inferior to you in terms of martial arts, but your understanding of life is definitely not as profound as my son. You have cultivated swordsmanship, and you have reached the realm of transformation, if you talk about swordsmanship alone, you may indeed be the first person in the world. However, martial arts are not at the pinnacle of this, there should be a higher and stronger realm. If you don't have that kind of life experience, you may never be able to surpass your current martial arts realm. Liu Xian interrupted Wang Yue's words.

"Still don't need to." Wang Yue still shook his head, as if he couldn't listen to what Liu Xian said.

No way, Liu Xian is only seventeen years old, and it doesn't seem to be convincing to talk about life insights with Wang Yue, a person who is dozens of years old.

Liu Xian shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more.

If Liu Xian gave the Taiping Sutra to Wang Yue to watch and study, it would definitely be of great help to Wang Yue, but not yet. Because of the four-year covenant with Wang Yue, one day he did not formally worship the Lord, and it was impossible for Liu Xian to casually reveal the Taiping Sutra in his hands.

It occupies the best location of Green Willow Street, and it occupies a huge area, so it is naturally the official building.

But the official building is not really called the official building, but the draft workshop.

The Draft Workshop is the name on the surface.

Usually, if someone commits a crime and is raided, the man will be killed, and the woman will be sent to the official building, which is the so-called official building.

Draft draft, draft workshop is actually equivalent to a government department. The selection of the emperor's draft girl will also be carried out by the officials of the draft workshop in cooperation with the eunuchs in the palace.

The four green buildings, the draft workshop should be said to be above the other three green buildings. There is no way, this is equivalent to the Qinglou opened by the government, which cannot be compared. At least, the appearance of the young lady in the Qinglou is, generally speaking, the best among all the Qinglou. Any lady who accompanies the wine is extremely handsome.

There is no way to do this, think about it every year, there will be many families who are raided for committing crimes, including ordinary people and rich and noble families, and even the families of court officials or military generals. Not to mention ordinary people, ordinary rich and noble families, criminal officials and generals, there are really a lot of wives and daughters and maids in their families, and women living in rich and noble families must have a better appearance than ordinary people.

Therefore, the young ladies of the draft workshop, generally speaking, are better.

In fact, if the emperor is suddenly interested in going out of the palace to have fun and come to the talent salon, those young ladies who wear sinful bodies and wait for the emperor well, may also be pardoned by this, including herself and her family.

Perhaps, for some guilty Miss Guanlou, that is the only hope they can look forward to.

Of course, because of the special nature of the draft workshop, under normal circumstances, it is not open to ordinary people.

Ordinary people are definitely not allowed to enter the draft workshop to drink and have fun. All those who can enter the draft workshop to drink and have fun have a certain status, at least they must be the children of officials. Some rich people, rich businessmen, they can't come and go freely. However, if there is a child of an official's family with it, then it will be fine.

The guards in the draft are directly officers and soldiers.

Liu Xian had never been to the draft workshop, and the people here didn't know Liu Xian's party, so he was stopped at the gate.

"This son, please stay, may I ask whose son is the son? We have to do a simple registration to enter. ”

The officers and soldiers who stopped Liu Xian were just doing it like a routine, without deliberately embarrassing or flattering.

It also makes sense to have a simple interview registration for guests who come to the talent show to drink and have fun. Because what if someone who was raided but escaped entered the draft workshop to rescue those guilty ladies?

This has happened a lot. So, these are all necessary.

"This is my son Liu Xian, the young master of the Plains Palace, Liu Xian, the Marquis of Wuyong." Zheng Bo didn't wait for Liu Xian to respond, he stood in front and revealed Liu Xian's identity to the officers and soldiers.

"Ah, it turned out to be Marquis Wu Yong. I have admired the daimyo for a long time! Come on in! ”

Liu Xian's reputation spread during this time, and in Luoyang, most people have heard of it. Therefore, the officers and soldiers who asked hurriedly bowed and retreated, and respectfully invited Liu Xian in.

The gate of the draft workshop is a gatehouse, and after entering, there is a garden, with shady trees and pavilions in the garden.

There was also a welcome lady from the talent show waiting inside, and when she saw Liu Xian and the others, she immediately burst into laughter.

"Welcome to the talent show! The slave family is wishful, son, please come with the slave family. ”

There are a lot of young ladies waiting to guide the guests together, and they look like warblers and swallows. But if a woman comes forward to greet her, the others will only follow her, but will not come up and rush to lead the guest.

Of course, guests can also specify one of the guides. But if it's a regular customer, it's okay to be familiar with it, then you don't need them to lead the way.

The inside of the draft is really big, and if there is no one to guide you, it is easy to get lost, and you don't know where to go when the time comes.

"Good wishes, good luck, good luck. Miss, that's a good name. Reward! Liu Xian said to Ruyi, glancing at Zheng Bo Zheng Feng.

Uncle Zheng naturally didn't say a word, and directly gave away a tael of silver.

Silver taels were not really circulated in the Han Dynasty, and they were rarely seen in other places.

However, because of the large amount of silver flowing from the west through the Silk Road, there were some more prosperous cities in the capital, as well as in some specific places. Silver is already circulating privately.

Silver is not the official currency of the Han Dynasty, but it has a conventional exchange rate. One tael of silver is exchanged for a consistent amount of money, which is a thousand dollars.

In the Han Dynasty, there were no business name silver tickets, and in Luoyang, ordinary rich and noble families, it was impossible for them to carry a large amount of Wuzhu money with them when they went out. So, under normal circumstances, they carry gold and silver with them.

However, because gold was more valuable and could easily be lost, silver became the main portable currency that could replace the five coins.

Liu Xian has also asked Zheng Bo to exchange some silver these days, so that it is easy to carry.

However, it should be noted that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, silver did not have a specific standard shape. Generally, it is a silver bloom of different sizes, with an irregular shape, but it is generally cut into the size of one or two or two.

China's real use of silver as a currency was only after the Tang and Song dynasties. But it does not mean that silver was not used in this Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Xian rewarded it casually, which made the welcoming lady suddenly a little surprised.

For them, whether the guest gives a tip or not is just the guest's will. If they don't give it, they won't dare to ask for it.

Now that I see Liu Xian so generous, when I look at Liu Xian again, my eyes are a little eager and more respectful.
