009 The first city in the world

Li Xiaoer couldn't help but be surprised, the Chang'an City in front of him was very different from what he saw outside the city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at Chang'an from outside the city, it is a feeling of heaviness, majestic, and the traces of knives and axes on the city walls are clearly visible, telling all that this historical city has endured in many wars.

But when he entered the city, Li Xiaoer's eyes were a little stunned, in front of him was a straight road for pedestrians, on both sides were blue brick walls more than two people high, and every hundred or ten steps was an intersection, neat and tidy, without any mistakes. Behind this neat high wall, there was a lot of noise, and Li Xiaoer's ears could clearly hear that there were people selling food and iron.

Looking at everything in front of him, he suddenly felt that his understanding of Chang'an had been staying in Xi'an in later generations, and it turned out that the real Chang'an was like this!

Li Xiaoer stood at the gate of the city stupidly and didn't move, which made Li Chunfeng anxious again. If you want to eat, you want to go crazy, and you just entered the city gate and started to cheat? Just wanted to reprimand a few sentences, and suddenly found that Li Xiaoer's eyes were not that kind of cunning gaze, but a kind of worship, or a kind of appreciation, he was looking at everything in front of him, that feeling was like being a single person for a lifetime and suddenly seeing his daughter-in-law, it was a feeling of jumping up and trying to eat people.

Li Chunfeng followed Li Xiaoer's eyes, didn't find any special things or people, looked at Li Xiaoer again, and suddenly understood that Li Xiaoer, who had entered the city for the first time, was shocked by the grandeur of Chang'an, so Li Chunfeng felt that he could proudly show off in front of Li Xiaoer for the first time.

"What, boy? Dumbfounded! Li Chunfeng was stunned for a rare time, "This is the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, this is Chang'an City, and I won't be dumbfounded when I see it for the first time." It's okay, Poor Dao won't laugh at you! ”

Li Xiaoer actually thought about it a lot, but when he heard Li Chunfeng say this, he laughed out loud, and then looked at Li Chunfeng with disdain and said: "It seems that your family lives in the city, what's the matter, do you think that my soil buns in the countryside have embarrassed you?" Cut, wait, wait for me Li Xiaoer to mix, I have to buy a decent villa in this Chang'an City, marry more than a dozen wives, and make you envious. ”

Li Chunfeng opened his mouth slightly, he didn't expect Li Xiaoer to have the face to say this, but he immediately reacted again, what is a villa, and who is his wife? Fortunately, Li Chunfeng was not stupid, and immediately understood the meaning, but he didn't know how Li Xiaoer came up with these strange words that he hadn't heard.

He was not in the mood to worry about these things with Li Xiaoer, so he turned around and walked towards the city first. Of course, Li Xiaoer still followed him with a swagger that didn't care.

The planning and layout of Chang'an City is quite neat, from south to north, first Waiguo City, then the Imperial City and the Palace City.

Miyagi is the place where the emperor lived, in the northernmost part of the center of Chang'an, the palace wall of three zhang five encloses the palace city, divided into three large areas. The east palace in the east is dedicated to the prince's residence and government affairs, and the Yeting Palace in the west is a place for palace maids to learn skills.

The one in the middle is called Taiji Palace, which is the place where Li Shimin lives, works and meets the ministers, and it is also the most core place in the entire Chang'an City.

Taiji Palace was called Daxing Palace in the Sui Dynasty, and later the Li Tang Dynasty established and changed the name to Taiji Palace. The main hall of Taiji Palace is the Taiji Palace, and to the north is the Liangyi Hall and the Ganlu Palace.

The south main gate of Miyagi is the Chengtian Gate, and you will enter the imperial city after leaving the Chengtian Gate. There are two gates to the north of the palace that lead to the palace of the Great Interior, also known as the Forbidden Garden, and the west side of which is the famous Xuanwu Gate, where Li Shimin completed his last battle to the throne.

The imperial city is located in the south of the palace city, which is the central government office area, that is, the office of the hundred officials of the court and the central government. The main street between the Imperial City and the Imperial Palace is called Hengjie, which is the widest street in the entire Imperial Palace, which is equivalent to a central square, and it is the place where the royal family holds grand events.

The south gate of the imperial city is the Vermilion Bird Gate, which is facing the Vermilion Bird Street in Waiguo City, which is the widest and most important main road in the whole Chang'an City.

Waiguo City is different from the Imperial City and the Palace City, and is all the areas where officials and people live in Chang'an City. It surrounds the east and west of the palace city and the imperial city on three sides, and has twelve city gates, among which the south city gate Mingde Gate on the central axis is the largest city gate.

The streets of Waiguo City are also quite neat, with a total of 11 north-south streets and 14 east-west streets, which divide the entire Waiguo City into 110 squares of large and small, which is the "Li Fang".

At this time, the neighborhood was relatively closed, and every day when it came to curfew, each neighborhood had to close the door, and all the people were not allowed to enter and exit at will, which also reduced the probability of criminal cases.

Each lane is divided into four small areas by the cross street, and each area is self-contained, so that no matter where an emergency occurs, all the soldiers, officials, and officials can accurately find the specific location for the first time, which is really simple and convenient, of course, this is equivalent to the positioning system of later generations.

There are many small commercial shops in each square, inns, wine shops, grocery stores, and everything is available, Bai Juyi once wrote that "hundreds of thousands of houses are like a game of Go, and the twelfth street is like a vegetable garden." The sentence depicts this layout of Chang'an City.

Of course, in addition to these regular alleys, there are two main business districts in the city, namely the East and West Markets, which are located in the southeast and southwest of the imperial city. The East Market is mostly a place for buying and selling rare treasures, and it is generally a place frequented by dignitaries, while the West Market is the favorite place for ordinary people to go, which is equivalent to the bazaar of later generations.

How rich and noble the east market is, and there are many Hu merchants in the west market, that's all it says.

The place where Li Chunfeng took Li Xiaoer to go was Sun Simiao's house, which was called "Guangdefang" according to the division of the Fang, which was just west of Xishi, so Li Xiaoer felt how big Chang'an City was again.

After entering the city from Qixiamen, they had to pass through the entire central area until they reached the west city, and when they walked close to the imperial city, they could see Guangdefang, which was equivalent to crossing most of Chang'an City.

Fortunately, the city is different from the outside of the city, there are people everywhere, and there are some other different differences and special places in each place.

For example, Tonghuafang has the location of the largest post station in the Tang Dynasty, "Duting Station", which is responsible for delivering official documents and letters of the state, etc., including picking up and dropping off officials.

Xinghuafang is the place where the emperor's relatives and high-ranking officials and dignitaries live, and any family here is either an important minister in the court, or a relative of the emperor, so the security here is also the best in the city except for the palace.

Of course, Li Xiaoer also passed by Jinchangfang, which has the Great Ci'en Temple, and Anrenfang, which is recommended by the Recommendation Temple, and the Little Wild Goose Pagoda is in the Recommendation Temple.

Along the way, although Li Xiaoer still felt very tired, he didn't mention these things, which made Li Chunfeng a little nervous and worried. He was very afraid of what Li Xiaoer was thinking about again, no matter how he looked at this guy, he looked like a villain with a bad stomach.

Fortunately, Li Chunfeng thought about it a lot, and finally the two entered Guangdefang and found Sun Simiao's house.

At this time, it was already dark, and the lights had begun to be lit in the entire Guangdefang. From the moment he entered the fangmen, Li Xiaoer saw the familiar market life again.

Guangdefang is considered to be medium-sized in the whole Chang'an, one size larger than those on the east and west sides of Suzaku Street, but half smaller than those on the east and west sides of the imperial city, so there are not many special advantages here, so there are no other squares lively.

But since Sun Simiao lived here, the whole Guangdefang has been different. Whether it is the people in their own workshop, or the dignitaries and nobles who come to admire other people, they all began to go in and out of Guangde Fang, and for a time it became a more famous place in Chang'an City.

Whoever does not have three plagues and five diseases, if there is a disease, he must be cured. In this era when life is insecure, a good doctor is equivalent to adding a life to the people, so Sun Simiao's status can be imagined.

The rich man spared no expense to invite Sun Simiao to become a private man in the house, but Sun Simiao ignored it and turned to treat those ordinary people who lived at the bottom and had no money to see a doctor.

What is Medical Ethics? This is medical ethics! Love knows no bounds! Ten thousand Buddhas!

Li Xiaoer has been thinking about how he can talk to Sun Simiao about his identity all the way, and he can also let Sun Simiao help solve it, but he really doesn't know what to do after thinking about it, so he just takes a step at a time.

Sun Simiao's house is in the northwest area of Guangdefang, where there are only three or four households, and Sun Simiao's house is the largest of them.

Li Chunfeng walked to the door and raised his hand to knock on the door, but hesitated again, turned around and told Li Xiaoer to tidy up his clothes.

"Remember, Doctor Sun is not the object of your casual jokes, you must know the etiquette when you meet later, and you must not mess around!"

Listening to Li Chunfeng's explanation, and seeing him tidy up his clothes with his own hands, Li Xiaoer suddenly found that this guy who doesn't eat all day is so cute!

Li Xiaoer nodded solemnly, which made Li Chunfeng feel a lot more relieved, and felt that Li Xiaoer was not unsophisticated.

Turned around again and knocked on the door of Sun Simiao's house, and after a while, he heard a soft voice inside: "Who is outside?" Then there was a sound of thin footsteps, and he walked to the door and stopped.

Li Xiaoer vaguely saw a slender figure appear behind the door, and did not open the door, but waited for someone outside the door to answer.

"Please inform Doctor Sun, just say that Li Chunfeng is coming to visit!" Li Chunfeng solemnly clenched his fists and saluted the door.

The door opened, and the figure inside flashed out, and said to Li Chunfeng: "It turned out to be Daoist Li, let Dao wait for a long time, rude!" ”

Li Xiaoer's eyes opened in an instant, his mouth opened slightly unconsciously, his breathing was a little short, and then he said in a ghostly voice: "Wow, the best little Lori!" ”。
