Hundreds of thousands of houses are like a game of Go, and the 12th street is like a vegetable garden.

Distant recognition slightly into the morning fire, a star five doors west.

This is Bai Juyi's poem describing Chang'an City, vividly depicting the layout of Chang'an City.

Chang'an is the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, is the most dynasties in Chinese history, the longest time, the most influential capital, the earliest ancient can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, but the Sui and Tang dynasties of Chang'an City is very young, Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty to establish the Sui Dynasty, initially set in the Han Chang'an City, the Han Chang'an at that time after a long period of war, disrepair, dilapidated and narrow, serious pollution, so Sui Wen Emperor decided to build another new city, under the careful planning of Yu Wenkai, after more than 20 years of construction, a grand scale, rigorous layout, symmetrical structure, Neatly arranged, the new Chang'an City rises from the ground.

Yu Wenkai first built Daxing palace city, then built the imperial city, opened the emperor three years (583 years) in the west side of the city to dig the dragon head canal, Yong'an canal and Qingming canal, lead the water, the water, the water, the water, straight to the palace. In the second year, more than 300 miles were dug from the east of Daxing City to Tongguan, which was named Guangtong Canal, and the Wei water was injected into the canal to make the Cao Yun directly connected to the Yellow River. In 605, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui ascended the throne, and in the same year, the Tongjiqu Canal was built from Daxing to Jiangdu (now Yangzhou). In 608, the Yongji Canal was built. In the ninth year of the Great Cause (613), more than 100,000 people were mobilized to build Guocheng outside Daxing City, and the overall pattern of Chang'an City was formed.

The construction that began in the second year of the emperor did not form an overall pattern until the ninth year of the Great Cause, and it took thirty-one years, but unfortunately only five years later, Li Yuan picked the fruit.

The excessively wide streets, the houses of the same specifications, the forbidden army with bright clothes and armor, the blond and blue-eyed Hu people, etc., Fuzhi who came to Chang'an for the first time were dazzled, Lu Ting asked the location, and asked Fuzhi to drive the carriage to Chongrenfang, and found a hostel called Ruguilou to live in.

Xiang arrived in Chang'an City at noon, and it took more than half an hour to queue up to enter the city, and he didn't know if the gate of Qin Wangfu was good or not, so Lu Ting immediately decided to go to Chongrenfang to find a place to live.

According to the design, Chang'an City is centered on Zhuque Street, with 55 squares on the left and right, and the east is under the management of Wannian County, because Furong Pond occupies the land of two squares, and it has jurisdiction over 53 squares of Jiadong City; The west side is under the management of Chang'an County, under the jurisdiction of 55 squares of Jiaxi City, one hundred and eight squares of Chang'an City, different squares have different functions, such as the officials like to live in Shengye Fang, Wuben Fang is the location of Guozijian, full of books, Chongren Fang is the gathering place of the hostel, next to Pingkang is the red light district of Chang'an, the brothels of Qinglou are lined up, up to the dignitaries, down to the place where the peddlers and pawns like to patronize.

Not long after he settled down, Lu Ting heard a drum beating, the drum sound was very rhythmic, knock... Knock knock, knock knock five times each time, knock for a while before stopping.

"Childe, why did you beat the drum for no reason, didn't something happen?" Fu Zhi said a little nervously.

When Fu Gongyi rebelled in Danyang, Suzhou City was on guard like a frightened bird, and beat the drum to warn if there was any trouble, and Fuzhi was a little stunned when he heard the drum.

"The little brother is from out of town, right" The guy who took Lu Ting and Fuzhi to the guest room heard it, and explained with a smile: "This is the street cleaning drum, also called the dong dong drum, the government reminds everyone to go back to their own homes, and the street will be cleaned soon, if they are still wandering on the street at the time, those military candidates are not easy to speak, not to mention the common people, even the officials can do it." ”

Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and many people visit Chang'an every year, and this question is explained several times a day, but every time he explains patiently, in addition to the shopkeeper's requirements, he also shows his superiority in living here.

As soon as he finished speaking, another round of drums sounded.

"Why are you still knocking?" Fu Zhi said with some puzzlement.

As soon as I heard the drum, I was a little nervous, didn't I knock it just now, why did I beat it again.

"Little brother, take it easy, this is the second round of street drums, there are three rounds, in addition to the street drums, there are also dawn drums, market opening drums, and closing drums, from morning to night, if you don't listen to Qian'er 800 times a day, it's okay, you will get used to it in a few days, if you don't beat it one day, you won't get used to it."

Fuzhi nodded and said: "So that's the case, Chang'an is the capital, and there are many rules." ”

Lu Ting was a little tired, and sat at the table as soon as he entered the room, and the guy took the initiative to pour water for Lu Ting, and said while pouring water: "Son, I don't know if I am visiting relatives or friends when I enter Chang'an this time?" ”

"I don't visit relatives or friends, I just come to travel."

Hearing that Lu Ting was traveling, the man's eyes lit up, the smile on his face was even bigger, and he said with a smile: "Everything in Chang'an City is good, but there are a lot of rules, and there is a curfew at night. ”

"Oh, where to go?"

"Hehe, to say a good place to go, there are a lot of them during the day, but the most lively and fun place at night, it is none other than Pingkangfang, our store has a good relationship with Pingkangfang's Ruyi Building, go to Ruyi Building and say that as long as you mention that it is a guest of Rugui Building, you can get a pot of good wine."

"A personable and merry person like Childe will definitely not care about a pot of wine, the wine in Ruyi Building is good, but the girl in Ruyi Building is better, the southern beauty, the northern beauty, and the Silla maid and the blonde orchid, the son who has been there all said it is good." The guy said with a foaming mouth, as if it was Lu Ting's loss not to go.

Lu Ting put down the teacup without a trace, nodded and said: "I've heard of Pingkangfang for a long time, this is a good place, I have to take some time to see it, but after a day's road today, my whole body is falling apart, even if I drink flower wine, I can't drink it, I will rest tonight, and I will talk about it tomorrow." ”

Next to Chongren Fang is Pingkang Fang, the ancients were very shrewd in trading, Ruyi Building, Rugui Building, it will not be the same owner, the guy so enthusiastically recommends Ruyi Building, either the same owner or Ruyi Building to give them the benefits of these guys, otherwise the guy will not work so hard.

It's nothing to drink some flower wine, Lu Ting is not a pedantic person, but after sitting in the carriage for a day, his body is very tired, and he has something in his heart, and he will talk about it after he has done his business.

The guy answered, asked Lu Ting what he needed, and quickly retreated.

When the guy went out, Fu Zhi looked left and right, and said with some smack: "The things in Chang'an City are expensive, that is, a B room, which is more expensive than the A room in Suzhou, and horses, just one night, the horse material will cost 30 Wen, and the overnight will cost 15 Wen, Son, didn't we pick a black shop." ”

In Suzhou, a bucket of good rice is thirty Wen, here, the horse feed money is a bucket of rice, the fine material fed by the horse is not fine rice, but also to collect the night money, Fu Zhi thinks about the pain of the flesh.

This road people eat horses and chew, spend money like flowing water, and the carriage does not cost less, this road just the axle has been changed several times, each time it is a big price, no way, thousands of miles away, wooden wheels and axles must be replaced often.

Fuzhi remembers very clearly, coupled with the gift of the second uncle, when he left Suzhou, he had 600 guan and 82 yuan, and now he has less than 400 guan when he is full, and it took more than 200 guan in a little more than a month.

Childe is also yes, saying that it is difficult to come out once, you can't treat yourself badly, and you look for special dishes to eat everywhere you go, and it's still not expensive or not delicious, but Fuzhi has a lot of light along the way.

"It's okay, the money is quite fair, the money should be spent" Lu Ting yawned, waved his hand and said, "Let the guy send a bath bucket and hot water, I will go to do a big thing tomorrow." ”

Chang'an City in the design of its size, for the structure of the neatness, Chang'an is difficult to expand, Chang'an City is so a little land, more and more people, the price of land is also driven by the demand to rise, Chongren District left by the Imperial City, right by Shengye Fang, near the bustling Pingkangfang and East Market, a proper prime location, which is Suzhou City can be compared, the price is a little higher is normal, you must know that many ministers want to buy a house in Chang'an can not afford it, but also rent a place to live.

I'm going to hug Jin's thighs tomorrow, no, it's to send Li Er gifts and intelligence, and when I think that I can see with my own eyes a bullish figure like Li Er with a historical halo, and witness history again, Lu Ting's heart has an inexplicable excitement.

Thinking of Li Er, Lu Ting couldn't help but think of Wang Jue, who kept his waist straight at all times, and he didn't know how he was now, calculating the distance, he should go to Yuezhou, and he didn't know what to do with him when he arrived in Yuezhou.

Lu Ting didn't expect that when he was thinking about Wang Jue, Wei Zheng, who was only one square away from him and lived in a small house in Xuanyangfang, stood out the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the fluttering snowflakes, and said to himself: "Say goodbye to the moon, Shuju, are you okay now?" ”
