In the afternoon, Xuantian Temple.

It's still hot! Wu Yanzhi played chess and chatted with the Daoist Master of Jiuxiao under the Taoist tree.

Last night, Wu Yanzhi told him the method of smelting the smelt and zinc, which opened his eyes and shouted magically.

Magical? And so many more amazing places! Wu Yan's dark way.

Originally, he didn't want to tell the Jiuxiao Daoist the secret of smelting zinc, but he had no choice but to consider that others would take him in, so he had to return the courtesy! Besides, in a few months, he will start to organize the large-scale smelting of brass by the public, and the people of the world will soon know the secret that zinc and copper can be smelted.

"Wu Lang, today Xue Gong is playing the Holy Lord, and he will definitely summon Wu Lang in person on the Holy Lord. After all, Wu Lang is a royal family, and from now on, I am afraid that he will enter the sea like a dragon! ”

"Where! If the saint can afford to be born later, it is enough to get a county lieutenant in his later life! Wu Yanzhi said lightly.

"County lieutenant? How can it be? It stands to reason that people from the royal family generally have titles ranging from high to low. Maybe Wulang directly crowned the king of the county, and it is possible to do anything! ”

Wu Yanzhi snorted and laughed out loud: "Don't make fun of Jiuxiao Dao Chief, I haven't dealt with the saint for many years in the late life, and I haven't made an inch, how can I be crowned the king of the county?" If you can seal a county uncle and a county, you will be satisfied with your late life! ”

The two were chatting, when suddenly, someone brought in a few officials, led by a thirty-one or twelve-year-old man in the costume of a servant.

The Nine Heavens Dao Leader recognized him: "Why did Lu Dianjiao come here?" Hurry up, please take a seat! With that, he turned around and called the waiter beside him again, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Nalu Dianjiao bowed his hand and said, "Good Taoist! Today, I came here to do an ordinary security inspection, and I came to tell the Taoist chief that the Jiangyang thief Nine Heavens Owl appeared in Sigongfang last night.

Yuan Facao, Liu Xianwei, and I laid down fifty crossbowmen, all of whom were elite crossbowmen drawn from the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, and almost shot them.

But after all, it was night, and the sight was not good, so he still let him escape, and the Taoist chief must be careful to prevent him from sneaking into this Xuantian Temple to steal! ”

"Thank you Lu Dianjiao for your concern!" The Daoist of Jiuxiao personally went to bring the tea over and filled it for Lu Dianjiao and the others.

Wu Yan looked at it, this ancient and later generations were similar, and no one dared to offend these officials. At this time, it is even different from the future generations, many of these people who are servants are actually gangsters and hooligans, and they themselves have a lot to do with underworld hooligans and others.

A few people drank some tea, and then offered to look around to see if there were any defenses!

So Jiuxiao Daoist and Wu Yanzhi accompanied a few people, looked at the important places in the Taoist temple, and then returned to the place where they drank tea just now.

"Dao Chief, it is advisable to strengthen the guard and defense at night, and it is best to set up a secret guard in a place where precious belongings are stored. Once a thief comes, beat the gong and drum to make him retreat.

There are a large number of dignitaries living in this vicinity, especially Princess Taiping lives in this square, so it is the focus of prevention. In these shops, we have ambushed crossbowmen at major intersections, ready to capture the thieves! ”

"Poor Dao must do it!"

"Okay, I'll inspect elsewhere, don't dare to disturb, and take my leave!" Lu Dianjiao got up and was about to leave with his people.

"Since there is something going on in Lu Dian Prison, Poor Dao doesn't dare to force it. The brothers have worked hard to patrol and serve our people on this hot day! With these two pieces of money, Lu Dianjiao will use it to buy a few bowls of tea for his brothers! "The Nine Heavens Dao Leader handed a rather heavy money bag to Lu Dian Prison!

"This ...... The Taoist is polite, thank you very much! If there is anything in the future, the Taoist chief will send someone to say it, and the contemptible person will be on call and say goodbye! He took the money bag and handed it to one of the officials beside him.

Wu Yanzhi shook his head, the Chinese gift-giving culture has a long history, and it seems that it is different not to accept gifts.

After Lu Dianjiao left, the two still sat under the big tree drinking tea and chatting chess.

As soon as he sat down, a handyman from the Taoist temple brought in a red-clothed official. The miscellaneous servant said: "Wu Lang, this one was sent by Xue Gong to deliver the letter, saying that there is something important." ”

"Wu Lang, Xue Gong sent his subordinates to send a letter to Wu Lang, saying that the Holy Lord is going to meet Wu Lang in Wucheng Hall tomorrow, please don't delay Wu Lang." With that, the man took his leave and left.

After Wu Yanzhi thanked him, he opened the envelope, and sure enough, he invited him to see the saint. There are some details in it: At three o'clock tomorrow, wait at Xuanren Gate, and he will personally take Wu Yanzhi into the palace! After entering the palace, go directly to the Wucheng Palace, because tomorrow is not early, you can go later.

He was also told to pay attention to the etiquette of meeting the emperor and be prepared.

"This Xue Gong's efficiency is quite high!" Wu Yanzhi looked at it and put away the letter.

The Nine Heavens Dao Leader immediately congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to Wu Lang, Wu Lang is about to come to work, what a blessing!" In the evening, I and the Qingxu Daoist will give Wu Lang a strong trip! ”

"This ...... The Taoist is gracious! Wu Yanyi thought, he was not embarrassed! passed on the secret recipe of smelting zinc and smelt to him, and he was indispensable in this half a year, and there was no problem in earning one or two thousand yuan, as long as he was willing to practice!

……

Xuanren Gate is in the eastern part of the imperial city. Wu Yanzhi came here a quarter of an hour early. Fortunately, it was summer, and the sky was already bright.

After a while, two servants in the distance came over with their horses, but Xue Jichang was sitting on the horse!

Wu Yanzhi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Xue Jichang handed over the horse to the servant and took Wu Yanzhi to Xuanren Gate.

The Imperial City Gate is easy to enter, and there is no too strict inspection system. Miyagi has strict management, and there are six passes to enter the emperor's dormitory or office.

Wu Yanzhi and Xue Jichang stepped into the imperial city, and as they walked, Xue Jichang introduced Wu Yanzhi: "Wu Lang, this left is Shangshu Province. On the right is the Ordnance Prison, Shang Fang Prison, and the Punishment Temple. In the future, Wu Lang may have to deal with Shang Fangjian! ”

"Maybe!" He said lightly.

I was a little excited in my heart, and I didn't know what fate would await him!

Shang Fangjian is the Shaofu Supervisor, which is a specialized institution responsible for the world's handicraft industry! Wu Yanzhi is good at smelting and mining, and his natural business is in Shang Fangjian, so maybe he may be directly assigned here to be an official!

........................................ Dividing line ....................................

Introducing the outer castle, the imperial castle, and the palace castle.

Luoyang City and Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty are the same. The city where ordinary people lived was called the outer city, and it was also within the city walls. Outside the city, there are nearly two meters high walls in each square.

Luoyang and Chang'an both have more than 100 squares, and there are more than 100,000 people living in the city.

Of course, due to the large number of rivers in Luoyang, the outer city did not completely close all the squares.

To the north of the outer city is the Imperial City! In the Imperial City, it is the office of the central departments! For example, the ministries of Shangshu Province and the five prisons of the nine temples. Zhongshu Province (called Fengge at this time) and Menxia Province (called Luantai at this time) are also here.

Further north of the imperial city is the palace city. In the palace city, it is naturally the place where the emperor meets hundreds of officials; It was also the palace area where the emperor and his concubines lived.

Within this palace, there are also branch offices of the Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province, and some people are on duty day and night in order to temporarily convey the emperor's emergency (edict) letter. There was also a academy on duty at the north gate, which was the emperor's private secretary institution, which later developed into the Hanlin Academy.

Entering Miyagi, there is a very strict access control system.
