Chapter 17 The grand scene of Chang'an is moving
Regarding Fang Chen's explanation, Su Lie remembered it in his heart, and it seemed that the Sergeant Liu Renliang he met before was afraid that he had a lot of ability.
"Hu Biscuit! Cake yo! ”
"Take a look, uncle, come in and play for a while?"
"Horses! A good horse, which master has the palm of his hand and gives a few taels of silver to take this good horse away? ”
“......”
Entering the city gate, large and small vendors, restaurants everywhere, as well as the art theater and gambling house......
I have to say that a prosperous city, compared with the boredom on the road to escape, this seems to be a prosperous city.
Because Fang Chen and the others were homeless, they could only walk along the side of the road, so as not to spoil the normal life of the merchants and the rest of the Chang'an residents, and there was a more important reason, that is, the road in the middle of the road, which was prepared for the nobles!
"Little Fangye, this Chang'an can be regarded as prosperous?"
Su Lie let out a long breath and asked with a smile.
Fang Chen nodded, "If it is compared to our previous days, Chang'an is really surprising, but after watching it for a long time, it is nothing more than that." ”
Su Lie raised his eyebrows and smiled, and didn't say anything, Fang Chen was in this temper.
"Master Xiaofang, this is the West Market of Chang'an, and the East Market is where the nobles often go." Zhang Liuzi behind him accosted.
In Chang'an City, there are one hundred and eight places in Fang City, the number of astronomical totals, I heard that it was built by the Taoist specially after careful calculation and layout, there is a business square on the left and right, called the east and west two cities.
Small merchants with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even craftsmen who go to the rivers and lakes can beg for a bite to eat in the West Market, and more are Hu merchants, and many caravans in the Western Regions have even settled in the west of the city.
The East Market is more noble, and compared with the "hodgepodge" of the West Market, the East Market is a frequent place for executives and nobles.
For a simple example, in the art academy in the West City, it will cost you a hundred dollars to call a girl casually, but if you go to the art academy in the East City, it will be less than two taels, and no one will let you in.
Datang's control of the East and West Markets is not limited to this, in order to prevent high-ranking officials from going to the West Market to make any trouble, Li Er specially ordered that officials above the sixth grade are strictly forbidden to the West Market.
Of course, there must be exceptions, for example, the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, they can go to the West Market to shop and consume no matter how many products they have.
After all, the most oily and water-free place in the entire Tang Dynasty is the Yushitai.
Do the work that the emperor doesn't like and the officials don't love, and all day long he either admonishes a certain prince to behave inappropriately, or pulls the other party's pigtails.
The most representative figure is the most well-known official leader of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng!
This old man is terrible, he was the confidant of Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince, and was readmitted by Li Er after the Xuanwumen incident. In order to protect his family from being implicated, Wei Zheng became a lonely minister in the true sense!
Why is he okay and keeps going against Li Er? Enemies of hundreds of officials? In order to reassure Li Er!
It is not easy to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be an emperor.
It's a shame that Li Er is not the kind of master who likes to grasp big things and small things, otherwise the matter of releasing military power with a glass of wine would have happened hundreds of years earlier!
Unlike the homeless people, most of the people in Chang'an City have smiles on their faces.
This happy atmosphere made Fang Chen feel very comfortable, and the simple temperament of the ancients also made him particularly envious.
If you can eat a full stomach every day, you can have a field to plant, and you can have a land to raise, there will be no rebellion, and you will become the most staunch protector of the whole country.
If Fang Chen shouted a bad sentence about Datang at this moment, it was estimated that he would be beaten to death by the people of Chang'an.
Of course, Chang'an City was just an example, after all, how big the whole world was, Fang Chen knew very well!
"Little Fangye, we can still walk around for two hours, and then we are going to go out of the city!"
"Two hours?"
Seeing that Zhang Liuzi's words didn't seem to be fake, Fang Chen's face was very ugly.
"Xiao Fangye, don't misunderstand, there is a curfew in Chang'an, not to mention that there are so many homeless people who stay in the city all the time, there will always be problems!"
Fang Chen's anger gradually subsided, and he asked, "Then why, they still have to squeeze in?" ”
They? Nature refers to the homeless!
Liu covered his mouth and smiled bitterly: "Master, they are all hard-working people, and they entered this Chang'an City just to try their luck, in case they are taken by a nobleman, if they have a job plan, they can also have something to eat." ”
glanced at Liu, this girl is now speaking more and more presumptuously, and she directly changed her name to Ye, basically treating herself as his Fang Chen's subordinate.
"Sixth son, you wait for the others to go out of the city, Su Lie and I have other things."
Zhang Liuzi nodded and beckoned the rest of the people to leave, and Liu hesitated for a moment and followed.
Women and Taoists all know one sentence, that is, the master is not in charge outside, and what the master says is what he is. What's more, she was just Fang Chen's slave now.
Su Lie was surprised: "You also want to go with me?" ”
Fang Chen nodded, that's for sure, Li Jing and Qin Qiong, to be honest, he really wanted to see what the two of them looked like after throwing out the demonization of the later generations.
Su Lie suddenly felt a headache, and he didn't know if those two "big shots" would agree to see him!
"Little Fangye, how should I introduce you?"
Fang Chen thought about it for a while, and said that he was Su Lie's son and nephew, that would definitely not work, and distant relatives would not sound good!
"Or, just say I'm the big brother you know?"
Su Lie couldn't cry or laugh, "Little Fangye, don't be joking. ”
Fang Chen pursed his lips, "No matter, anyway, you can't take advantage of me, you can say other reasons!" ”
Su Lie shifted his gaze to Fang Chen's waist, there was still a "murder weapon" pinned to his clothes! Do you want to use that as a reason?
"Don't think about it!"
When Fang Chen said this, he tightened the sniper rifle on his back, in his opinion, the gun could only be saved if he didn't leave his body.
"Alas......"
Looking up to the sky and sighing, Su Lie didn't know what to do for a while.
The two stared at each other for a long time, and said at the same time: "I have an idea!" ”
"You speak first!" "You speak first!"
"Okay, I'll start with that. Xiao Fangye, if I say, you are my junior brother, is this method feasible? ”
"Phew! When you are your junior brother? I'm ashamed! ”
Su Lie was originally born in a wild road, where has he ever worshipped a teacher? Most of the battlefields rely on the experience gained from fighting, as well as the art of war dictated by his father, otherwise it would not be so miserable.
But it is undeniable that Su Lie does have some ability, and he relied on that little wild way to become a general.
Martial arts are the first, the enemy is behind, this is the Tang general.
There is a text praising his merits for "destroying the Three Kingdoms before and after, and capturing their masters alive", it can be seen that Su Lie still belongs to the kind of general who relies on his brains most.
Looking at Su Lie's aggrieved appearance, Fang Chen couldn't help but raise his foot and kick him, for this kind of behavior, Su Lie was not unhappy at all, how strong can a baby kick someone? On the contrary, it was only after finding out Fang Chen's temper that Su Lie knew that this kind of qualification, except for him, there was no second person to enjoy it at present.
In Fang Chen's words, that is, it is pleasing to your eyes, otherwise how far and how far you roll!
"Little Fang Ye ......."
glared at Su Lie fiercely, "Master is your life-saving benefactor!" ”
"Hmmm! Well? ”
Su Lie first nodded in response, and then was stunned, as if he understood something.
