Chapter 229: Finding a Residence

On the way, Liu Xian mentioned it to Wu Shang by the way, telling him that there were masters in his caravan camp, and if he wanted to know about such a breakthrough in martial arts, he could go and ask for advice, just say that he let him go.

Wu Shang was in the entire Luoyang City garrison, or he was just a small squad leader who was nothing. But Liu Xian will not underestimate him, as the so-called high-rise buildings start from the ground, it will not be harmful for him to make friends with some low-level soldiers of the defenders of Luoyang City now.

Wu Shang should still be a hot-blooded young man with a pure mind, if he can help him and let him break through to become a quasi-military general, then he will definitely be able to gain his friendship. In fact, even if you don't talk about this, people with Wushang, the city defenders, often go to their Liufu caravan camp, and they can also let some people see it, so that they can misunderstand what their Liufu caravan has to do with the city defenders, so that they don't dare to easily trouble the caravan. At least in general, people who don't have a little background don't dare to provoke the Liu Mansion caravan.

This can be regarded as a borrowing, although Wushang is just a small Dubo, there is no momentum to borrow, but in a certain aspect, even if it is a small city defender, they can find the entire city defender.

Wu Shang estimates that his background is not bad, not from ordinary people, and his temperament is relatively jumpy, and he seems to have a really good impression of Liu Xian, and some familiar people have talked a lot about Liu Xian.

The garrison of the city is in the barracks in the east of the city, where a captain commands the army.

His name is Huang Lin, he is in his thirties, and he has a pretty good relationship with Wu Shang.

Liu Xian needed some timber for camping, which was indeed just a trivial matter for Huang Lin, the commander of the first battalion, and his camp itself had a large number of materials for camping. These things can be called without the permission of the generals above.

Huang Lin is also a relatively bold man, and maybe Liu Xian's beating of the people in the General's Mansion also made him feel secretly happy, so he promised Liu Xian on the spot that he could call a batch of wood to Liu Xian, and directly asked the soldiers in his military camp to help Liu Xian move out of the city.

He didn't even mention the pay.

This also made Liu Xian also have a good impression of Wu Shang and Huang Lin. At least, this also made Liu Xian more aware of the Han army, in fact, not all of them are snobs. At least the people in the army did not deliberately alienate Liu Xian because Liu Xian was the young master of the Plains Palace, and they did not care about Liu Xian's identity and were unwilling to make friends with Liu Xian.

Soldiers are always soldiers, and they don't care too much about political issues like ordinary civilian officials. It can also be seen from this that this Huang Lin is indeed a relatively pure soldier.

Liu Wei also sensed his strength, he was already the strength of a three-man general, and it was said that his future should be good, but he had never heard of him in history.

Huang Lin and Wu Shang did not mention the remuneration, but Liu Xian could not help but mention it, when Liu Xian offered to pay for the purchase of the timber, Huang Lin also refused, he meant to lend it to Liu Xian for the time being, and when the time came, after the Liu Mansion caravan left, just return the timber to them.

In the end, Liu Xian didn't mention this anymore, but still left 10,000 yuan, which was regarded as the wine money for inviting them to eat and drink. In addition, Liu Xian also agreed with them that if they had a day off, then they would send someone to inform them, and then Liu Xian would invite them to the best restaurant in Luoyang to fight for tooth sacrifices.

10,000 yuan is not much, for ordinary people, it may be a lot of money, but for them, it is really not much, and it can even be said to be less. But Liu Xian knew that if he sent too much, they probably wouldn't accept it, so it was good to be appropriate.

At the same time, I also asked Huang Lin to help find a suitable opportunity to introduce General Gaili.

Since then, Liu Xian has not deliberately waited for Gaili in the barracks. I was deliberately waiting for him to solve the problem, and this kind of behavior was too pretentious, and I didn't do it well, and I thought I had some intention for it.

Therefore, Liu Xian felt that there was no need to be too anxious, and he took it slowly step by step.

Liu Xian had already made up his mind that there was no need to rush to sell the goods he brought, so there was no need to rush to Jingzhao Mansion to handle some caravans entering the city to sell goods. In addition, it is estimated that it is not enough to just pass through Jingzhao Mansion. Before Liu Xian thoroughly understands the relationship, Liu Xian will not be in a hurry to do these things.

Of course, it won't be too much trouble. As long as he goes through the proper and normal formalities, Liu Xian believes that even the imperial court will find it difficult to embarrass him.

It is also very quick to figure it out, and he has asked Shan Yong and them to find a suitable place, and when they want to open a shop after purchasing an industry in the capital, they will naturally know what department and agency of the imperial court must approve before they can open for business.

Back in the Plains Palace, the 500 or so people who had escorted Ma Guiren to Luoyang were really released.

Liu Xian planned that if he didn't put it back today, Liu Xian would have to make a fuss. This is also very simple, Liu Xian went to the official mansion with a carriage and horses, and directly asked them why they committed the crime of detaining the people of the Plains Palace.

This matter is a big trouble, and the face of the court is not good-looking.

Zhao He returned to the palace, and after telling Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others about Liu Xian's request, he also reported to the emperor. They all felt that there was no need to fall out directly with Liu Xian, a bastard, for the sake of some subordinates.

They really want to repair Liu Xian, but what excuse can they use now? Liu Xian appeared, and he really didn't do anything. Even if you send someone to arrest Liu Xian, you have to be able to stand up, right? It's like the emperor wants to issue an edict to condemn the crime, which doesn't mean that the crime can be pressed indiscriminately.

Naturally, if Liu Xian is an ordinary person, a person who does not dare to resist and dare not shout injustice, then it is okay. But is Liu Xian the kind of child who doesn't dare to cry after being beaten?

Think about Liu Xian's annihilation of Wu Jin and thousands of other officers and soldiers, and then think about the fact that he defeated tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army. They felt that it was better not to give Liu Xian a chance to make trouble.

Therefore, the people who were imprisoned were also released back at this time, and this efficiency can be regarded as relatively fast.

However, Zhao He, who came to the Plains Mansion again, asked Liu Xian to release those who were imprisoned in the Plains Mansion and let him take them away.

Liu Xian naturally let go so easily, and after complaining to Zhao He for a while, he asked for 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, so Liu Xian let those people go and let Zhao He take them away.

2. 300,000 yuan is the cost of repairing the plain palace, and this money is not from Zhao He, he went back to plead to the emperor and asked the emperor for it. But I believe that there will definitely not be only such a little, even if it is for the sake of the emperor's face, it will not be only given such a little.

Compared to the 50 million money distributed to Liu Xian by Wu Jin's family, this is nothing.

After Zhao He took those people away, the Plains Mansion was truly relaxed.

Of course, Liu Xian also had to interrogate the hundreds of people who had been imprisoned for several months, and through their mutual supervision and statements, to see if there were any spies among them, and to see if any of them had been interrogated and whether they had betrayed the Plains Palace.

These procedures are necessary, and Liu Xian doesn't want his affairs in the Plains Mansion to be leaked by some spies who have infiltrated him.

Anyway, with hundreds more, then manpower will be enough.

Liu Xian decided to buy another mansion in Luoyang as soon as possible and move in.

Theoretically speaking, Liu Xian was summoned to Beijing by the emperor's decree, and before that, the first decree recognized Liu Xian as the righteous son of the Ma nobleman of the Plains Palace, which was equivalent to officially recognizing Liu Xian's identity as the young master of the Plains Palace, and gave Liu Xian the identity of the Marquis of Wuyong.

In terms of this relationship, the relationship between Liu Xian and the current emperor should be relatively close, at least nominally. Therefore, the emperor should have summoned Liu Xian, and then gave Liu Xian a mansion to show his generosity to his relatives.

However, now that Liu Xian has arrived in the capital, the emperor has nothing to say, and there is definitely no need to say anything.

In fact, everyone understands what it is, and Liu Xian naturally won't ask the emperor for anything. In this way, for the time being, the emperor also wants to deal with Liu Xian's affairs coldly first, and then wait for the opportunity to deal with and eradicate Liu Xian, so as to eliminate this hidden danger that can threaten his position.

Of course, this so-called hidden threat, to put it bluntly, is actually an ideological kind of emperor, not that Liu Xian can form any threat to him.

It's like doing something wrong, wanting to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and if you don't clean it up for a day, you always feel a little uncomfortable in your heart, and you feel a little uneasy for no reason.

In ancient times, the cities of China basically paid attention to a feng shui technique according to the gossip of Zhou Yi, and each city would be very particular when it was built.

Speaking of which, Liu Xian built Liulin Village as Liulin City, which seems a bit too casual. However, in fact, there is also something particular, what Liu Xian didn't notice, the original old village chief Liang Ji, and Cai Yong have already taken it into account. The general layout of the city was planned by Liu Xian, but some details were actually based on the opinions of those who knew Feng Shui.

Such as the city gate, the direction of the city, which directions in the city to build what, and so on. These are all paid attention to.

There is no way to do this, Feng Shui has been passed down in China for thousands of years, even in later generations, it is still quite exquisite.

According to custom, the city is generally located in the north to the south, and the north is rich and the south is rich.

Luoyang City is naturally the same, and the real most prosperous is actually Nancheng District.

If Liu Xian wants to buy a shop or something, it is best to go to Nancheng District.

In addition, there is also the saying that the west is poor and the east is cheap. In other words, the people living in the western part of the city are basically relatively poor. The eastern part of the city is not very valued, and in a certain respect, it is a relatively lowly status.

Of course, it is only a general statement, in fact, it does not mean that the people in a certain urban area are rich and rich, and the people in a certain urban area are poor and lowly.

The Plains Mansion is between the east and north of the city, and if you buy a shop in the south of the city, it will be a city away from the Plains Palace, a little farther away.

According to Yi Ji and Huang Wudie's opinions, they believe that the purchase of a new mansion should not be too close to the Plains Palace, but it should not be too far, so it is best to be located between the east and south of the city. In this way, whether it is to the plain palace or to the shops that will be purchased, it is not too far.

Liu Xian also obeyed the opinions of the two daughters.

The next day, Liu Xian also specially accompanied the two daughters to find a suitable mansion to buy. In fact, it can be regarded as accompanying them to visit Luoyang City and appreciate the prosperity of Luoyang.

The two girls have indeed never been to a big city like Luoyang, and now they have the opportunity to take a good stroll, so everything they see is new. Eat and play, you want to taste and play with everything.

Seeing that they were as happy as little girls, Liu Xian was also happy, thinking that this should be their normal state.

Of course, I didn't forget to get down to business, but I also paid attention to some houses, and if I saw something I liked, I would go up and ask. Ask who it is, and then tentatively ask if there is any intention to sell, try not to cause disgust to others, if people have no intention of selling, they can only politely leave.

In this ancient era, there was naturally no intermediary like in later generations, and if you want to buy a house or something, it is best to go through the government. If there is no official door, then you can only ask yourself.

However, even if there is no real intermediary, there are some people who do similar things as intermediaries.

In fact, even those who are more well-informed, if you know these people, it is easier to find the suitable mansion you want and can buy.

In fact, no matter where or what era, as long as there are more people, there will always be people engaged in all walks of life.

It's a pity that Liu Xian is also a newcomer to your realm, and he doesn't know too many people for the time being.

Fortunately, Liu Xian was not in a hurry.

At noon, Liu Xian and the two daughters casually found a restaurant for lunch.

Originally, I planned to let them go back to rest, but their interest was still very high, and they continued to go through the streets and alleys to inquire.

Luoyang City is naturally a mixture of dragons and snakes, which did encounter a lot of hooligans and ruffians, they saw Liu Xian and the two daughters at a glance as if they were rich sons and rich ladies, especially the two daughters were so beautiful, they were all eager to try, either they wanted to flirt with them, or they wanted to get some money.

But when they saw the guards following from afar, they did not dare to move.

Liu Xian and the two girls came to a relatively open street.

A seemingly newly built mansion attracts the attention of the two girls.

In this urban area, in fact, there are very few mansions in the real sense, and they are generally houses next to each other, and they are inhabited by ordinary people.

But this mansion is alone in this urban area, but it doesn't seem to be in harmony, and the architectural style is integrated with the surrounding houses. But it is also unique. At least, people like this mansion at a glance.

But at this time, this mansion seems to be in some trouble, and there are many people gathered in front of its mansion.
