Yilan Pavilion is really not an ordinary Qinglou, which was felt when Gu Tan and Zhuge Ke entered the Qinglou.

There are no obscene words, on the contrary, the entire Yilan Pavilion is very elegant, and the women in the pavilion are a little literal even if they are maidservants, not to mention the women who perform on stage in the Yilan Pavilion, even if they are some women from families in Jiangdong, in terms of temperament or aura, they feel inferior to the women here.

Zhao Guang really brought them to catch the wind, first in the bath, after coming out of the bath area, only to feel indescribably refreshing, and then sit in the attic to watch all kinds of skill performances, some are singing and dancing, there are also some storytelling and the like, in addition to women's juju, wrestling matches, fighting and other more violent programs, elegant and vulgar appreciation, but not abrupt, the entire Yilan Pavilion is divided into four layers, forming a spiral-shaped corridor, the most central is the stage, the lowest layer of ordinary people can come in, of course, the rich, If the high-ranking officials are interested in this or do not want to spend money, they can also enter.

The second layer is the area of wealthy families and officials, as long as they are willing to spend money or have an official status in Chang'an, they can enter, and a seat can usually bring eight people, but few of them are full.

The third level must have a certain status, you can make a high-ranking official, you can make a master craftsman, say that it is a world-famous benevolent businessman, these people are usually free, of course, if you want other services, you have to count separately.

As for the highest four floors, they are generally empty, where you can not only see the performances in the field, but also the scenery of the entire Chang'an outside the window, and most importantly, the fourth floor can be rotated, and you can turn a circle in an hour, and you can see the scenery of half of Chang'an City.

In the entire Han Dynasty, there are not many people who can sit here, but even if there is no one, this place will not be open to others, and no one else dares to ask to go up to the fourth floor.

The Han also has its own rank, and the most distinct thing is seen here, the difference is that the Han has a clear channel for ascension, or for the benefit of the official, or on the battlefield to kill the enemy, there is always a chance to get ahead.

"It's a little late today." Zhao Guang said with regret: "There are a few talented women in this Yilan Pavilion who sing and dance, if the two of you can stay in Chang'an for a little longer, you can see it next month." ”

"Every day is different here?" Gu Tan said curiously.

"Naturally, what's the point if it's repeated every day?" Zhao Guang said with a smile.

"Yes." Gu Tan shook his head with some sighs, originally thought that Jianye was also prosperous, but compared with Chang'an in front of him, whether in terms of prosperity or entertainment, there was no comparison, as for the deeper things, I couldn't see it when I first came now.

"It's not early, I'll send the two of you back to Sihai Pavilion, although this Yilan Pavilion has accommodation, but the cost is quite high, and Sihai Pavilion is not bad." Zhao Guang smiled at the two.

"There is Brother Lao Dingguo." The two of them got up separately and left Yilan Pavilion under the leadership of Zhao Guang.

On the street, a strange-shaped pavilion can be seen at every street corner, Zhuge Ke was a little puzzled and said: "Brother Dingguo, since entering Chang'an, I have seen several such buildings, I don't know what it is for?" ”

"That, the branch office, the guard is stationed, there are fifty-six such branches in the entire Chang'an City, and there is one at every street corner." Zhao Guang glanced at it and said with a smile.

"Yawei?" Gu Tan and Zhuge Ke looked at Zhao Guang with some puzzlement, this is another unfamiliar word, among the officials of the Han Dynasty, there is no such one.

"It is responsible for the security of Chang'an and mediating disputes in the city, all of which are under the control of Chang'an Ling, and there are twenty guards stationed in each office, patrolling the city back and forth, but they are all slightly trained people, and they are generally eliminated from the new barracks." Zhao Guang said with a smile.

In other words, in the entire Chang'an City, there are 1,120 people who are responsible for patrolling public security alone!?

Gu Tan and Zhuge Ke silently calculated in their hearts, a little staggering, generally remote counties don't have so many garrisons, right?

And...... The Han is probably the only country today that kicks people out of the army.

Over the years, everyone has an understanding of the military system of the Han Dynasty, although they are all conscription systems, but the benefits are not the same, the soldiers can let their children study with meritorious deeds, in addition to the disarming and returning to the field, some fields will be rented and planted, and the war death also has a beard, which also makes the Han army in the Han Dynasty enthusiastic, everyone is vying for the first, and the Han army on the battlefield is even more lifeless to cut people, quite effective imitation of the meaning of the pre-Qin, but it is not exactly the same.

Such a conscription system, coupled with the advantages of the Han army's equipment, has also made the combat effectiveness of the Han army continue to improve in recent years.

It is also because the Han Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, Wei State and Wu State have been seeking changes and breakthroughs in recent years, but the Han Dynasty has done this, with its confidence, and it is powerful, there is a Liu Yi behind the continuous promotion of the Han economy, and there are Zhuge Liang and others in the court who are constantly improving the law, at this point, whether it is the Wei Dynasty or the Eastern Wu, there is no way to follow suit.

Even if you are clearly given a method, you can't follow it, even if everyone can see the reason why Dahan is getting stronger and stronger now, you want to emulate Dahan and turn those big families over first, but if you really do this, Dahan won't give you any room to breathe, so you know that the gap will only get bigger and bigger if it goes on like this, but you can only keep looking for balance in the middle, although you are also getting stronger, but the speed can't catch up with Dahan.

"Of course, the division of the government is now only in Chang'an, Luoyang, and now there are not many soldiers eliminated in the army, and these guards also have to be trained, and there is also credit for cracking major cases or capturing thieves, and they also have the right to enroll their children, but the treatment is not as good as that of the soldiers in the army." Zhao Guang said with a smile: "If the world is peaceful in the future, maybe the army will be reduced, and the soldiers who come down from the army will be assigned to various places as guards, and then it will be specifically formulated." ”

Gu Tan and Zhuge Ke didn't answer, and their hearts sank a little.

When Soochow was still working hard, thinking about how to strengthen the army and how to squeeze the benefits from the people, the Han Dynasty has now begun to plan things for the people, and from the perspective of development, the Han Dynasty has undoubtedly surpassed Cao Wei and Dongwu by a lot.

It also proves from the side that the national strength of the Han Dynasty is strong, whether it is Gu Tan or Zhuge Ke, their hearts are a little heavy, this time they came, it is to report to the imperial court, Dongwu found an island overseas, named Yizhou by Sun Quan, but Sun Quan abolished the throne, is currently the king of Wu, and is not qualified to make this decision, this is not good, the Han has every reason to start a war with Sun Quan, so this time the two of them came here, one is to hope that the Han can recognize that Yizhou belongs to the Eastern Wu, and the other is to hope that the Han can provide some financial or material help, After all, the reparations for the defeat of Soochow in the past few years have made Soochow unable to breathe, and even regressed to barter in the early years, and it was not until the last two years that it began to ease.

Sun Quan regards Yizhou as his own back road, so he hopes to be able to manage it well, and if it is really impossible to do anything in the future, he will lead the Sun family to cross the sea to Yizhou.

Now seeing the scene in Chang'an, coupled with what they have seen along the way, they suddenly have a wavering in their hearts, maybe King Wu is right to choose this back road.

Sihai Pavilion is actually a post house with a different name, but as a post house in Chang'an, it is naturally different from other places, the white jade pillar with more than three zhang is somewhat different from the Han Dynasty, but it is secretly in line with the architectural style of the Han culture, and in the spacious and atmospheric main hall, you can see the alien people with high noses and deep eyes everywhere.

"These are the envoys of the countries of the Western Regions, that is the envoy of the country of rest, and the one who walks with him is the female prime minister of the Kushan country, and there are some small countries, the bearded man over there is the general of the Great Qin State, and he came to the Han to seek refuge with their prince, the eleven-year-old little prince was blinded by his brother's poison, and fled with eight hundred remnants, I heard that Luthor is still a great Qin sword god, and his swordsmanship is quite powerful, and he defeated more than a dozen swordsmen in Chang'an, and their tactics are also quite distinctive, Now that Luthor has agreed to join me as a general in Chang'an, responsible for helping to train the new army and integrate the heads of the two families, and now he is studying our words, and we don't understand what they say. ”

Zhuge Ke glanced at it with some curiosity, he had also seen the people from the Western Regions, but it was the first time he had seen it like this: "Sword God? Isn't it amazing? ”

"There are few opponents, but last month when my father returned to the court, he saw and defeated, and he was able to fight lily with my father, looking at the Central Plains, I am afraid that there are not many people who are his opponents." Zhao Guang nodded and smiled, obviously with a little pride when he talked about his father.

Zhao Yun is now the governor of Xiliang, the governor of the Xiliang army, in terms of official positions, it is not comparable to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at the beginning, but in terms of martial arts, there are no less than two people, and he can fight with Zhao Yun Lily, such a person is indeed a fierce general.

"Hi Hiro!" When Luthor saw Zhao Guang, he cordially stepped forward to say hello to Zhao Guang.

"General Luther, how many days have you not seen him, is the prince getting better?" Zhao Guang bowed slightly.

"It's much better, the healer of the Han Dynasty is really very powerful, the prince's eyes can already see some blurry things, please thank Your Majesty on my behalf." Luthor nodded and smiled.

"My Han respects the loyal people the most, and I am very sympathetic to the prince's plight." Zhao Guang smiled and nodded.

After a few more greetings, Lu Horde said goodbye and left, and Zhao Guang took Zhuge Ke and Gu Tan to the courtyard assigned to them and said: "Let's stay here these days, there is also a banquet here every night, if the two of you have the mind, you can go to participate, these people from the Western Regions are very enthusiastic, and there are many delicacies sent from the Western Regions, which cannot be eaten in the Central Plains." ”

"Thank you." Gu Tan and Zhuge Ke bowed to Zhao Guang, and after sending Zhao Guang away, the two of them sighed together, this trip to Chang'an is really a little disturbing......
