22 first arrived in Luoyang
Guan Hai is good at everything, but he can't get along with the horse, no, he is on the road, he bought him a horse in Dong'e, and he is about to go to Luoyang, he is still in the run-in period, and he is barely in a hurry, if he fights immediately, even Dong Zhao can behead him, no wonder he ended up with a knife by Guan Erye.
Cheng Yun is also very helpless about this, maybe Guan Hai was born to be an infantryman.
Along the way, there are still a lot of displaced people in Yanzhou, but after Kaifeng entered Sizhou, the displaced people are almost invisible, not that the people of Sizhou must be doing well, but those who are not doing well have been blasted out of Sizhou, which is the social status quo in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
The group entered from the east gate of Luoyang, where Lu Zhi's family was going to be separated from the others, after all, Lu Zhi had his own official residence, and everyone else had to buy a family house, except for Guan Hai who wanted to live with Cheng Yun in his gatehouse.
Zhang He, Dong Zhao, Cheng Pu and others are not very short of money, but Xu Rong and Xu Shu can't afford to buy a house in the South District, but fortunately, both of them are alone, and Zhang He and Dong Zhao are combined, Xu Shu lives in Dong Zhao, Xu Rong lives in Zhang He, and when he has money in the future, he will buy a house and move out.
The house that Cheng Zhang Dong's three families bought on the same street, but the back door of Cheng Yun's house was facing the front door of Zhang He's and Dong Zhao's house, and Cheng Yun's family was also bigger than the two of them. This area is all inhabited by the declining scholars or small traders, so the living environment is much better than that of the slums.
After everyone packed up, they stayed for the time being, and early the next morning, Lu Zhong, the housekeeper of Lu Mansion, came to invite everyone to Lu Mansion for a gathering.
Cheng Pu, Cheng Yun, Cheng Zhi, Tian Yu, Guan Hai, Zhang He, Xu Rong, Dong Zhao, Xu Shu and others went over together, and Lu Zhi had not returned to the court, and it was Lu Min who received them.
After waiting for a while, Lu Zhi came in from outside, and everyone got up to greet them, Lu Zhi asked them all to sit, and went to change out of court clothes before coming to meet them.
Lu Zhi first talked about the situation in the upper dynasty, "My Han Dynasty generally does not have a permanent general position, so even if I am a councilor, it is normal for me to lead the army to fight when necessary, and it is okay to temporarily add a general position." As for my position as a speaker, my direct superiors are Guangluxun and Guanglu doctors, and Guanglu doctor Ma Riyan is my friend and my senior brother. ”
Lu Zhi saw Cheng Yun sitting up straight, knowing that he wanted to know more about Ma Riyan, "Wen Ying doesn't need to call him uncle, your teacher is not very close to him." ”
Lu Zhi continued: "So the official positions under my council, if there is any vacancy, I can decide, I think you all go to exercise, do things, and make your resume look better, among them, Demou has been a cavalry captain, then you can be a tiger servant with a rank of 400 stones, and you will be a tiger benlang under Demou, and your rank is 300 stones."
"Yixian, you are directly under me as Yulin Lang, and the rank is more than three hundred stones."
"Gongren, Yuan Zhi, the two of you are my students, and you have to do more, so the two of you are appointed as Wuguan Langzhong and Instructor Langzhong respectively, and the rank ratio is three hundred stones."
"Although this period is a time of peace, there is no telling when there will be war and we need to put down the rebellion, so no one is allowed to relax their demands on themselves, and we must go to war at any time. For Demou, Junyi, and Yixian, my requirement is that you can lead an army alone in the future, whether it is stationing, blocking, raiding, or charging into battle, you can do it, and Gongren and Yuanzhi, what I ask is that when you go out of the division, you can formulate the best combat plan for your legion, and everyone can be a strategist or even a mastermind. ”
"As for the four of you," Lu Zhi looked at Cheng Yun, Cheng Shi, Tian Yu, and Lu Min, "Every time you go to Dongguan with me to read the collection, study hard, and grow up as soon as possible." Now Dongguan is not only me, Cai Bojiao and Yang Wenxian, but also some other celebrities will also go to lecture and borrow, and it is a good skill to be able to learn from the strengths of other families when the time comes. ”
Seeing the four little ones nodding and Lu Zhi stroking his beard, he found that there was still a big man who was poking here and didn't deal with it, and he couldn't help but twitch a little eyelids, but fortunately, Cheng Yun saw what Lu Zhi meant at a glance, "If you are in charge, let him pick us up and drop us off to Dongguan every day." ”
Lu Zhi nodded, "Yes, I always pass by you to pick you up." Minth didn't need it, I took him over. ”
Guan Hai said "oh", and Cheng Pu added: "In addition to getting up early to go to Dongguan to study, the three of you must also do your homework every day when you get up early, otherwise if you go home at night to make up for it, you will be punished if you don't get up the next day."
Cheng Pu refers to the morning exercise. Although they are still young and have not systematically learned martial arts, they have been training physically for a long time. No, the amount of Cheng Yun has always been much smaller than the other two small ones, because Liu Zhan didn't let it, for fear of affecting his daytime learning, so Cheng Yun was still quite comfortable, and running and doing exercises were good for his body.
Lu Zhi took a few promoted adults to Guanglu Temple to join the company, because Guanglu Temple has relatively few rotations, and he also explained to them that they often come to Dongguan to study, and everyone agreed.
When Cheng Yun first arrived in Luoyang, he was still very curious about everything, so he asked Lu Zhong to find someone to lead the way, Cheng Yun, Cheng Zhi, Tian Yu, and Lu Min only added Guan Hai, a bodyguard, and went out to the market.
Luoyang has a total of 12 city gates, there are four gates in the south, from east to west are Kaiyang Gate, Pingcheng Gate, Xiaoyuan Gate and Tianjin Gate in turn, its north gate is the valley gate in the east, the summer gate in the west, and leads directly to the North Palace. The east gate is the upper east gate, the middle gate and the consumption gate from north to south, and the west gate is the upper west gate, the Yongmen gate and the Guangyang gate from north to south.
The road leading from each gate divides Luoyang into several areas, the middle being the palace area, including the South Palace and the North Palace. The official office area is located on the left side of the South Palace, within the East City Consumption Gate, and in the left front of the South Palace, including the Taiwei Mansion, the Situ Mansion and the Sikong Mansion, forming the highest administrative body in the country. The residential areas of the powerful are distributed within the Upper East Gate, such as Buguangli, Yongheli, etc. Taicang and arsenal are in the northwest corner of the city. Small traders, declining scholars, and Hanmen lived between the Guangyangmen and Xiaoyuanmen that Cheng Yun bought, and the poor generally lived between the Yongmen and Jinmen.
The street market in Luoyang is divided into four cities, namely the horse market and the Su market in the eastern suburbs, and these two four small ones are obviously not interested, because they come to Luoyang from here, and they pass by before entering the city, and there is no freshness; Nanshi in the southern suburbs, this is too far away, and the guide Lu Zhong is looking for does not know the specific situation of Nanshi, so he can't help or dare to take them; So I can and can only take them to one place: the gold market.
In the early layout design of Luoyang, the gold market was planned behind the South Palace, and the official office area was before the main palace, which was in line with the layout of the former dynasty and the rear city.
The first time to feel the grandeur of the ancient dynasty, Cheng Yun is still very excited, looking at the South Palace and North Palace in the distance on both sides of the road, he admires the wisdom and perseverance of the ancient Chinese working people, you know, this era is just barely unified weights and measures, no industrial assembly line, no tower crane crane, no crane, no excavator, no electric welding, even the mold is hand-carved wooden mold, in such a difficult environment, as far as the magnificent Qin Great Wall, the majestic Tiger Pass, close to the majestic Luoyang City, The gorgeous Luoyang Imperial Palace is made of earth, wood and stone, and it is so strong that it can even last until two thousand years later, which is really incredible.
Although the gold market is called the gold market, it is really not only buying and selling jewelry, it is expensive to import spices, crystals, etc. from the Silk Road, and cheap to local specialty snacks, etc., all of which are sold, but the price is more expensive than the Su market horse market, but the quality is very guaranteed.
When a group of children go to the market, eating and playing are indispensable.
In ancient times, geldings were not good at it, so pork was called poor meat, and the rich were mainly eating beef and mutton, while the powerful could also eat venison and bear meat. Tongding cooking mutton is a favorite method of Luoyang officials, Cheng Yun has eaten it a few times at Liu Zhan's place, but Cheng Yun is completely indifferent to it, there is no sesame sauce and chili, only salt, pepper and wasabi powder, which is something similar to mustard, eat shabu mutton? Refuse.
However, in Luoyang, there is another way to make mutton, and I like it very much, kebabs. But it's a pity that the current mutton skewers are mainly sprinkled with a mixture of pepper and dogwood, which is more than spicy and not enough spicy, Cheng Zhi and others ate with relish, Cheng Yun ate one, and then didn't let them put the seasoning, only eat freshly grilled red willow lamb skewers.
Cheng Yun didn't want to eat anymore after eating a little, and went around here, and found a spice shop, in the mixed smell, he felt the smell of cumin, and decisively went in, and after being introduced by the shopkeeper, it turned out to be an imported spice for rest.
Cheng Yun had a bold idea, "Can the shopkeeper tell me about the purchase channel?" I have an extra business I would like to talk to you about. ”
The shopkeeper couldn't help but laugh, "Did your family ask you to come over?" ”
"My little master is an adult." Guan Hai slapped the table, startling the shopkeeper and Cheng Yun, Cheng Yun glared at Guan Hai, Guan Hai scratched his head, stepped back, Cheng Yun explained: "I personally have a certain degree of autonomy, and I don't need adults to decide things." But if you have to talk to an adult, it's no problem, I originally wanted the old manager to help me act as an agent, and I just waited in the back to collect the money. ”
