Changan!

It's just two words, but its position in Chinese history is very important. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThis is especially true in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty.

Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was the first major city in world history to reach a population of one million.

The population of the city is divided into residents, royal families, dignitaries, soldiers, slaves and miscellaneous servants, Buddhist monks and nuns, and ethnic minorities. The total number of foreign merchants, envoys, students, and monks studying abroad is no less than 30,000.

At that time, there were more than 300 countries and regions that came to Chang'an and Tang Tong.

Tang's science and technology, culture, political system, and food fashion were all spread from Chang'an to the rest of the world.

In addition, Western culture was digested and recreated through Chang'an City, and then spread to neighboring countries and regions such as Japan, Korea, and Myanmar.

At that time, Chang'an was a gathering place for commercial and cultural exchanges between the East and the West in the world, and it was also the largest international metropolis in the world at that time.

This is enough to make any Chinese citizen feel proud.

Chang'an was called Daxing City when it was built in the Sui Dynasty, and it was renamed Chang'an City after Li Yuan ascended the throne. Tang Chang'an City followed the old system of Sui Daxing City, and continued to build, making it more magnificent and magnificent.

The layout of Chang'an City is very distinctive: first, the palace city is located in the middle of the north of the city, which is the palace area; To the south is the imperial city, where the central government office is located; Wai Guo Cheng defends the imperial city and the palace city from the east, west and south, and is a residential and commercial area for commoners and bureaucrats. The palace area is located in the center of the north of the city, which obviously carries the meaning of the emperor's "supremacy, the king of the south", which can be said to be the central idea of Yu Wenkai when he designed the pattern of Chang'an.

Second, the east-west symmetry on both sides of the north-south central axis of the city. Third, the checkerboard-like streets are wide and straight. "Hundreds of thousands of houses are like a game of Go, and the twelfth street is like a vegetable garden." Bai Juyi's "Ascending the Guanyin Terrace and Looking at the City" reflects this neat and uniform chessboard pattern. There are drainage ditches on both sides of the streets of the city, and the locust elm is planted, the avenue is straight, the trees are shady, and the city appearance is very spectacular.

Fourth, closed squares and centralized cities. Fang is a residential area, and the city is a bustling commercial area.

Walking on the bustling streets of Chang'an, Qin Feng browsed the surrounding scenery.

This is the first time he has seriously watched the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty, watching the people coming and going on the street, and secretly sighing, it is worthy of being the largest metropolis in the world.

The checkerboard streets are wide and straight. The streets in Chang'an City are arranged in a north-south and east-west direction, perpendicular to each other, straight and upright, wide and open-minded. There are 11 north-south streets, and 14 east-west streets.

The structure of the square is closed, each square has a wall, and the doors of the houses are all in the square. Except for the 36 squares south of the imperial city, only the east and west two gates, only the east and west streets, the rest of the squares are open to the east and west, north and south four gates, there is an east and west street, a north and south street composed of cross streets. The east and west markets have two gates on each side, and there are two east and west streets and two north and south streets, forming a "well" shaped street, dividing the market into nine squares. Each side of the four sides are facing the street, the shops are located around the sides, the shops of the same industry are concentrated in one area, called the line, there are 220 lines in the east market, and the store in the west market is also like the east market.

Xishi is the place where the business of Chang'an City is concentrated, and it is also the center of economic activities in Chang'an City.

Qin Feng's place at the moment is the West Market.

He led a horse and walked along the Suzaku Street, which was one hundred and fifty paces wide, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but his heart was full of bitterness.

Originally, he was still praising the prosperity of Chang'an, but now he cursed in his heart.

How big is Changan TMD!

I regretted that I didn't do it at the beginning, and when I was traveling, my mother repeatedly asked him to bring a few guards. Qin Feng was disdainful in his heart, thinking that hugging the front and back was a contempt for the dignified Yan Huang Emperor, and he was still thinking at the time: "I want to be a dignified Yan Huang Huang, and I still need the protection of others?" ”

However, although Qin Feng was not in danger now, he was sad to find that he had lost his way.

As the top agent, Qin Feng is definitely not a road idiot, even in the difficult labyrinth, he can't stop him in the difficult road.

He once believed that everyone in the world could get lost, but he wouldn't.

But now he has accepted it, this Chang'an is too big.

He walked around, but he didn't come across a place where he knew him.

Looking at the sun that had reached the sky, and touching the stomach of protest, Qin Feng sighed in compromise, and walked in this West Market for a full hour and a half, but he hadn't even walked out of the West Market.

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty can be seen from this.

In the middle of the day, Qin Feng still didn't find his way home.

One person and one horse, listless in the West Market.

After walking for a while, I passed an antique restaurant, smelling the smell of wine and meat, listening to the sound of the chef's knife and the sound of running the hall.

Qin Feng felt hungry, looked up, and saw a golden and brilliant signboard hanging on the sign of the restaurant, but the signboard was engraved with the old-fashioned name "Welcome Building".

Coming to the door of the store, the shopkeeper walked up enthusiastically, reached out to take the reins of his horse, and led the horse to the side of the stable.

Entering the store, the business of the store is quite prosperous, and it is divided into four floors. The first floor is the habitat of the peddlers' pawns and foot merchants, the second floor is the place where the martial arts school meets, the third floor is the meeting place of scribes and scholars, and the fourth floor is the private room.

Seeing that Qin Feng's atmosphere was lofty and his clothes were luxurious, the shopkeeper was diligent and planned to welcome him to the second floor.

Qin Feng shook his head without hesitation and refused, and found a vacant seat on the first floor and sat down.

Although the second and third floors are clean, they are not to his liking.

On the first floor, you can hear about the world's major events from the mouths of all kinds of people, and strange things from all over the world, which is more valuable to Qin Feng.

I asked for a pot of wine, accompanied by four-color wine dishes, listened to the funny chatter in the mouths of the pawns from all over the world, and poured myself a drink.

Merchants from all over the world praised the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, there are some exceptions.

However, the politics of the Tang Dynasty are clear, and the people discuss state affairs without guilt.

Therefore, the merchants were not afraid, they dared to say anything, and they were not afraid of being convicted of encountering important ministers.

Such an open freedom of speech, even in the 21st century, is far from being comparable to the Chinese state, which shows the graceful and luxurious great power bearing of the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Feng, who was extremely hungry, tasted the food with relish, and drank wine with various remarks, but it was hearty.

"Little Er, pay the bill."

However, when he finished eating and was about to pay the bill, his expression couldn't help but change greatly.

Cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, and it turned out that there was no silver tael on his body at all.

It's over!

Qin Feng smiled bitterly: The first time you come out, isn't it possible to eat an overlord meal?

"Son, are you in trouble?" Coming into contact with different groups of people every day, the shopkeeper has developed a pair of sharp eyes.

Qin Feng said helplessly: "Little second brother, when I went out, I forgot to bring silver taels, you see if you can be accommodating, I am Qin Feng, the second son of Yiguo Gong, and I am by no means a person who eats in vain, if the second brother doesn't believe it, you can go back to the house with me, and I will pay ten times as much." ”

"Son, aren't you embarrassed by Xiao Er? You say you're the son of Yigong? Who believes? The shopkeeper's voice was very sharp, and it instantly spread throughout the entire floor, and all of a sudden, Qin Feng became the object of everyone's attention.

"What?"

"Son of the Wing Kingdom?"

"Isn't it! Yiguo Gong is a good man who stands up to the sky, how can his second son be the one who eats the overlord's meal? ”

"It's, in my opinion, another impostor."

……

Qin Feng let out a long sigh, thought for a while, took off a jade pendant from his waist, and said: "This is the gift of the Holy Emperor when I was born, I will arrive here first, and then I will exchange it for two silver taels when I go home!" ”

"Who knows if it's true or not?" Having said that, the shopkeeper still took it.

"Let me see!"

A scholar stepped forward.

The shopkeeper handed it over and said, "I'm tired of the son." ”

The scholar is obviously a well-informed person, he didn't say a word, took the jade pendant and looked left and right, this jade pendant is exquisitely made, the handiwork carved on it is quite good, he knows that it is a good jade, and it is carved with a dragon, seeing this, his face can't help but change, and said: "Little second brother, this jade pendant is worth a lot of money, if it is not a royal gift, ordinary people dare not wear it at all, you just know by looking at the dragon above." In other words, there is a good chance that this son is the second son of the Qin family. ”

"Qin Gongzi, villains can't call the shots, please wait for a while!"

"It's okay, little second brother, but please take care of yourself."

Qin Feng smiled and said to the scholar: "Thank you, brother!" ”

"It's just a gesture!" The scholar returned the gift.

Qin Feng said with a smile: "For my brother, it's just a gesture, but it's a great kindness to me, if my father knows that my younger brother eats overlord meals, I'm afraid he will have to break my legs." ”

"I have heard that the public style of the wing is very strict, and I don't believe in Japan, but now I finally see it. Small can be admired. ”

"Brother Tai has won the award."

"Gongzi Qin, Gongzi Qin!" A fat man in his fifties ran over panting, saluted: "My subordinates don't know that it's the second son, I'm offended!" This meal is not worth a few dollars, so let's invite the son as a villain, and it is very difficult to invite the son on weekdays. After that, the fat man respectfully presented the jade pendant.

"Any debt can be repaid, but the debt of favor cannot be repaid, I have never liked to owe favors, shopkeeper, it is not easy for you to open the door to do business, I can't eat your meal in vain." Looking at the snow-white wall, Qin Feng had a wit and said, "That's it!" I inscribed a poem on your wall for food, shopkeeper, what do you think? ”

"I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it!" The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, and the meritorious children were all domineering and abnormal, if he were someone else, I am afraid that he would have already made a big fuss on the table, and the Qin Gongzi in front of him not only did not make trouble, but was willing to inscribe poems, which was tantamount to a great joy for a businessman like him.

"Little two! Little two! Don't have pen, ink, paper, and inkstone ready yet? The shopkeeper hurriedly ordered to prepare.

The scholar said with a smile: "Erlang of the Qin family, both civil and military, but never left Mobao, you are blessed as the shopkeeper." ”

At this time, the guests who were eating also noticed the drunk and drunken young master of the Li family, and they all gathered around to watch.

Qin Feng smiled, took the pen, and dipped it in ink. Thinking of the Weishui Alliance half a year ago, I wrote a word with pride.

In the eyes of everyone, it didn't take long for a poem to jump on the wall:

"Angry hair rushes to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rests. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad! Weishui is ashamed, and it is still snowing; When will the courtiers perish? Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky!

Zhenguan two years of Qinfu Qin Feng question! ”
