The hooves of Yan Xing's and the others' mounts struck on the somewhat soft ground, making a silent sound. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past few months, it has been raining one after another, so the imperial court has also removed the position of the three dukes of Sikong Liu Hong before, and the people in the position of the three dukes have also changed several times, but the natural disasters that have rained for a long time have not disappeared, and a few months ago, the river also broke a big flood, and the people around the mouth of Qianshou suffered a great disaster.

There are two rivers in the south of the city, Yushui and Yishui to provide flood discharge, and at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the dredging of the river and the maintenance of the river embankment have not yet fallen, and the rainy weather has not brought too much disaster to the dense people living around Luoyang.

In this river, where the water volume rises with the long rainy weather, that is, in the southern suburbs of Kyoto's Luoyang, in addition to the construction of important cultural and ceremonial places such as Taixue, Mingtang, Lingtai, Sheji, and Zongmiao, there is also a Hongdeyuan and a large city in the south of Luoyang.

The land in the southern suburbs of the castle is close to Kyoto's Rayang, and the transportation is convenient, and the proximity to water sources is conducive to cultivation and irrigation, so the population is more densely populated than the western part of the castle where the Imperial Enyuan is densely populated. When it is close to the south city, the hub hits, and the prosperous and dense scene of the Beijing division is even more unobstructed.

Ma Lin rode on the horse, his burly body was straight, every time there was an incense cart and a horse passing by, he had to slap the horse loudly, looking forward to his own majesty, and Gan Ling and Yan Xing were also envious of these rich scenes, Zhou Liang came here once or twice after coming to Luoyang, and because of his status as a scholar, he also behaved relatively calmly, but whenever the incense car of the powerful and wealthy passed by, he couldn't help but look at the slender figure inside the curtain like Ma Lin, which caused a lot of reverie.

Yan Xing can understand the performance of these subordinates around him, they are either natives of the border, or poor people of the down-and-out Sanfu, who used to have infinite imagination of Luoyang Kyoto in the hinterland of the Central Plains, but now that he has seen the legendary scenery of the wealth of the Jingshi, he naturally emits all kinds of envy and amazement in his heart.

For example, Ma Lin is aggressive, likes to show his strength in front of people, Zhou is lustful, and has a lot of reverie about the female dependents of those powerful families, while Gan Ling and Yan Xing are not like Ma Lin and Zhou Liang, but when they see the prosperity of the powerful in this world, they still feel amazed and have a sense of self-shame and loneliness.

The Silk Road opened up by Zhang Qian has fallen silent nowadays, and there are different degrees of wars and natural disasters in Hexi, Longyou, Sanfu and other places, and Yan Xing after being reborn naturally did not see too much prosperity in this era, which is also the first time he has appreciated the wealth and prosperity of the Central Plains in this era, fortunately, there is also a vision from later generations, Yan Xing did not lose his temper like others when he saw all this.

It's just that I thought of what I had thought and seen when I overlooked the palace on the north mountain before, and all that came to my mind for a while was the many contradictions and entanglements of war and civilization, power and destruction, rebirth and reality, heroes and the passing of romance.

In the middle of the day, everyone sighed with emotion and finally came to the south of Luoyang. As a large city, Nanshi has a special municipal bureau in charge of the city, and a group of officials of all sizes, such as the mayor, the city minister, the city leader, and the city assistant, are set up to manage the affairs of the south city, and important places such as the gate of the south city and the city building where the bells and drums are hung are also stationed to guard the city.

After Yan Xing and the others entered Nanshi one after another, they asked Zhou Liang, who had been here once or twice, to lead the way in front, and he was quite familiar with it, and he led everyone to the largest wine store in the city.

The city is divided into a number of trade areas, there are many merchants, the shops covered by black tiles on both sides of the road are divided into categories, such as mulberry hemp, silk, cloth, etc., fish, salt, fruits and vegetables, melons and fruits, etc., tendons, furs, feathers, etc., and others, such as poultry, livestock, lacquerware, bamboo and wood, etc., such as jade, tortoiseshell, jewelry, copper and tin, etc., are arranged and placed in a similar way, people are grouped, giving people a sense of orderly planning.

Of course, this is just the neat and orderly shops, in the road, there are mostly bustling crowds, the noise of rubbing shoulders one after another, among the shops, the merchants and the guests who come to buy goods compete for the price, the shouts of the Jia people who set up stalls in the open air and sit on the ground, noisy and noisy, and the voices of people are boiling.

Yan Xing and the others slowed down their horses, and when they got off their horses and led their horses, after passing through the most lively and noisy crowd, they turned a corner and came to a wine shop in the south of the city.

When they had tied their horses to the stakes outside, they entered one after another.

At this time, the morning market such as fish, salt, fruits and vegetables, melons and fruits in the city has begun to disperse and gradually calm down, but the lively place of the lunch market like the wine shop is just the right time, during which many huge businessmen who make a lot of money spend a lot of money here, just to get drunk, or the heroes of Lilu who are angry are here to call friends and friends, and to stagger, of course, there are also some students who travel to Beijing to study, officials who take leave and take a vacation, soldiers, and powerful and rich people who go on outings come here to drink.

After Yan Xing and the others entered the wine shop, there was immediately a soap-clothed bartender who stepped forward to greet them, and took Yan Xing and the others to a couch in the lobby between words and laughter, and after serving hot soup to these guests with a smile, they began to quickly introduce the wine and food in the restaurant.

Yan Xing and others are all fighting men in the army, although Zhou Liang is a scholar, but he is not a family of scholars, naturally he does not have the temperament of "not getting tired of eating, not getting tired of being fine", not to mention that Yan Xing and others walked around half of Luoyang City, and they were hungry in their stomachs, so Ma Lin, Gan Ling, Yan Xing and others called a lot of meat and Xinfeng wine, Zhou Liang originally wanted to order a fish belly, but he thought that most of the people present were martial artists with good wine and meat, and such exquisite delicacies were a bit unpleasant. So he hesitated for a moment or pretended to be reserved and didn't speak, Yan Xing at the end, seeing that Ma Lin and the others had already ordered a lot of meat impatiently, and also smiled and ordered some seasonal fruits and vegetables, and then asked the bartender standing aside to retreat.

After a while, alcohol, meat, fruits and vegetables were brought to the case one after another. Yan Xing, on the other hand, sat on the table, looking at the interior of the restaurant. The interior of this wine shop is also quite exquisite, with colorful depictions on the pillars of the lobby and colorful patterns on the wine bars in the front hall. Combined with the fact that this wine shop lives in a densely populated area of the downtown area, and covers a wide area, many factors combine to imagine that this place is like a wine shop home with a deep background and a deep background.

Since the Salt and Iron Conference of the former Han Dynasty, the economic policy of the official camp of wine and salt and iron has been relaxed, and in this dynasty, the trade of wine and salt and iron is completely liberalized, allowing private trade and sales, and the state uses this to collect taxes from it, although this dynasty has a decree of "prohibiting group drinking", but also because of frequent natural disasters and poor grain harvest, the Han court has banned alcohol in many places, but the wind of drinking is still popular, up to the dignitaries, down to the peddlers and pawns, all like to drink. And this kind of wine shop that occupies a favorable location can be in the market, behind it is naturally the owner and the background, and only the powerful and powerful families are in the dark for it, like this kind of wine shop that is making money every day can survive in the downtown of Luoyang.

Although there is no wine, the wine drunk is still the wine of the official family!
