As soon as it was dark, the horse team was on its way.

Fuchang is actually not far from Luoyang City, if you ride a fast horse, you can actually reach Luoyang in less than a day.

However, the horses and wagons were many and had to carry goods, so they went slowly.

So I had to leave early, but it would take two days to arrive.

There are a lot of passers-by on the official road, and those who come and go do not seem lonely.

You can sometimes see vendors setting up stalls on the roadside, some cakes and tea.

The road surface is a compacted dirt road, which is paved with a layer of coarse-grained sand drained and is fairly smooth.

The wooden wheels of the carriage were not elastic at all, and the beams in the wheels were directly connected to the carriage and the carriage above. Therefore, any slight ups and downs under the wheel are all transmitted directly to the top.

Wei Renshi is not used to carriages, especially carriages without shock absorption, and the internal organs of his stomach are displaced, and he feels that his buttocks hurt. On the contrary, it is not as good as the donkey cart, although it is very slow, but it is precisely because it is very slow, so I don't feel that it is so bumpy.

So he got out of the carriage and sat next to Boss Shi, who was driving in front, which made him feel a little better.

"Xiaolang, why did you get out?" When Gou Er saw Wei Renshi go out, he didn't dare to sit in the back alone, so he hurriedly asked.

"I'm breathable." Wei Renshi said, "You sit down." ”

Gou Er sat back again.

Wei Renshi's thoughts along the way followed the bumps of the carriage and ran to the wheel.

How nice it would be if this carriage had a shock absorber, and how good it would be if the wheels were elastic!

Alas, I really miss that second-hand Aifu egg.

After two days of traveling with the horse team, they finally arrived outside Luoyang in the evening.

Dingding Gate is sprinkled with golden light in the afterglow of the setting sun, and it still looks like a mountain.

Although it was not the first time he had seen Luoyang City, Wei Renshi was still shocked in his heart.

Since the Xia Dynasty, Luoyang City has been a big city in the Central Plains. It is located in the north-south east-west traffic center, the geographical location is extremely important, as for the Sui Dynasty is set as the eastern capital, the scale of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang dynasties reached the largest, according to the mountain in the north, the mouth of Yique in the south, Luoshui runs through it.

The outer Guocheng plan is close to rectangular, with eight gates, three in the east and three in the south, two in the north, and no gate in the west. The inner enclosure of the palace city is located in the northwest corner of Guocheng, the city wall is rammed, and the inner and outer bricks are covered.

There is also an imperial city built around the east and west of the palace city. In the north of Miyagi, there is Yaoyi, and there are two cities in Yuanbi. There is the East City in the east of the Imperial City, and there is the Jiacang City where grain is stored in the north of the East City. The city is divided into a number of square or rectangular lanes by vertically intersecting roads.

Dingdingmen Street is 121 meters wide, and the other streets connecting the city gates are also 40 to 60 meters wide.

There are square walls, doors are set up on all sides, and there are cross streets inside, where there are a total of one hundred and nine squares and three cities.

The scale of Luoyang City reached its peak in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and then after several baptisms of war, the city was broken, and in the later Ming Dynasty, the scale of Luoyang City was only less than one-twentieth of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang dynasties, so it was still a big city, and it can be seen that the scale of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang dynasties was large.

It is precisely because the scale of Luoyang is so large at this time that it can carry such prosperity, so it can also have nine floors and one pavilion at the same time, and ten large restaurants and restaurants coexist in it.

Entered Luoyang City and went straight to Nanshi.

A dream building is lively, the sound of the wine order, the sound of the wine fist, the sound of the singer singing, the sound of running the hall to report the food...... The voices are full of voices, such as sheng songs.

Somehow, Wei Renshi looked at this lively scene, but the scene of the tax collector collecting tax grain suddenly flashed in his mind. Zhao Laohan's cry was vivid, and the old woman who had seen the growth of the acorns in advance seemed to appear in front of him again.

It's like a dream.

Wei Ren said a word silently in his heart, raised his feet and walked in.

Straight through the small door into the back house. The back house has been renovated, leaving a few running houses in the front yard, and the rest has been made into a warehouse for wine. In the backyard, only Sun Peng and his wife, the chef and the purchased singer live in the backyard. There will be more Wang Xiaosui in the future.

The side door where the carriage walked, and it had already begun to unload in the front yard.

Not long after Wei Renshi came to the backyard, Sun Peng came from the front restaurant.

"Meet Lang Jun!" Sun Peng saluted.

Wei Renshi smiled: "Sit there and talk about it." Did you write the letter yourself? ”

Sun Peng nodded embarrassedly and said, "The little one wants to be the shopkeeper, and it is not good to be illiterate after all." The Hun family also said that in the future, the small ones will inevitably write a letter to Lang Jun to talk about the things of Yimenglou, and some of them cannot be known to outsiders, but it is inconvenient to ask someone to write them. In these days, he found a down-and-out scholar in Luoyang City, and he had to teach him to read and write every day. ”

"It's great to have this heart." Wei Renshi nodded and said with a smile: "You and your Hun family are right, you must continue to study." Now, let's talk about the ninth floor and one pavilion. ”

Sun Peng's expression was solemn, and he said: "Half a month ago, the shopkeeper of the drunken Xiaolou first found the little one, saying that he wanted to apologize, and at the same time make friends, and wanted to invite the little one to have a meal. The little one wants to gain a foothold in Luoyang in the future, and it is another business, and he has to deal with it. So I agreed. ”

"Well, that's good." Wei Renshi nodded and motioned for Sun Peng to continue.

"After I went, I found that there was not only the shopkeeper of Zuixiaolou, but also the shopkeeper of the other nine families." Sun Peng continued: "I also flattered left and right and made friends. Later, they came to me again and said that there was a guild in the restaurant restaurant business in Luoyang City, but anyone who did a restaurant business in Luoyang City was a little large-scale, joined in to take care of each other. ”

"Oh?" Wei Renshi was really taken aback, is this right now?

"That's when the little ones know that there is still this thing." Sun Peng said again: "The little one inquired a lot of news, and found that other businesses also have things similar to this kind of alliance, but it is only in name and useless. ”

"Then the proprietors of the first pavilion on the ninth floor want to ask me to meet, and I guess it's about it." Wei Renshi said.

Sun Peng nodded, and said, "Not only that, they want to nominate our Yimenglou as the head of the meeting." ”

"What?" Wei Renshi frowned: "Be the head of the meeting?" Why? ”

"It is said that the liquor of our Yimenglou is unbeatable, just the liquor and those attractive stories have made our Yimenglou the leader of the restaurant industry in Luoyang City, and it is well deserved to be the head of the meeting." Sun Peng replied: "Xiao naturally didn't dare to agree, so he hurriedly sent a message to Lang Jun." ”

Seeing that the business will definitely be defeated by Yimenglou in the future, so he took the initiative to bow his head and become a minister, get closer to the relationship, and be willing to be a little brother, just to drink soup?

No kidding, how is this possible?

The ninth floor and one pavilion can be grown to the current scale, how can it be so easy to be willing to admit defeat?

There must be a demon in this!
