Chapter 12 Jinyang

In Zezhou, the group didn't stay long before setting off on the road again.

Leaving the city from the north gate, I went north all the way, and arrived at Jinyang City in about ten days.

Changsun Tang didn't expect that such a big city would be born here, and the boxy city seemed to be carved out of a mold with Chang'an City.

Entering the city, it is still inseparable from Chang'an City, but the palace city of Jinyang City is located in the northwest corner of the city, and the area is not as large as Chang'an City, although it is also one of the three capitals, but it is not as serious as Chang'an.

In Chang'an City, only the East and West Cities can operate, and because it is located in the center of the north, it can also be regarded as the most important trading city for grassland trade, so some markets can be traded.

Moreover, the dental system in Taiyuan City is more comprehensive, and Changsun Tang has found a lot of trading places gathered together along the way, busy and orderly.

At this time, the eldest grandson had another task to deal with: sending a woman surnamed Wang to visit relatives.

According to the address in her memory, the woman surnamed Wang finally knocked on the door of a three-entry courtyard after seven inquiries and eight inquiries, and the eldest grandson looked at the scale of this courtyard and knew that this was not a rich and noble family, but it was also a well-off family.

"Squeak." With the sound of wood grinding against wood, the door opened.

"Who are you looking for?" A steward asked, sticking his head out of the door.

"Is it Wang Lihe's home?" The woman surnamed Wang asked.

"They moved out last year, what's the matter with you?" The steward said.

"I'm his niece, and I'm here to visit my family."

"yes, they moved out last year." The steward opened the door wider, and when he saw the rather luxurious carriage of Changsun Tang, Zhang Zhong and Ge Chengze, a smile appeared on his face.

"Do you know where they moved to?"

"This is not very clear, it was the house I came to accept, and the owner of this house turned out to be the staff of the Taiyuan Governor Shi, and he followed this Changshi away." The steward replied.

The long history of the Tang Dynasty belongs to the backup, it is a real backup, if there is a leader, the long history basically has no power, and if there is no leader, this long history is the first leader, and such an important position in Taiyuan Left-behind Mansion is generally led by a certain noble or even the prince Yao, this long history is the number one, so the staff can be regarded as some energy.

"Oh!" The woman surnamed Wang was a little sullen.

"What's your last name?" The eldest grandson watched the woman surnamed Wang eat the closed door, so he had to come forward by himself.

"Don't dare, the little one is surnamed Zhang." This steward immediately shook his head at the eldest grandson, this is a matter of identity.

"Oh, Steward Zhang, have you heard some rumors, such as where this original Lord Changshi went to become an official?" The eldest grandson asked, with a general place, these problems can be solved.

"I'm sorry Childe, I really don't know this, but I heard others say that this Changshi Lord was demoted to the south because he offended someone." Steward Zhang only said roughly that.

"Thank you, Zhang Zhong ......" The eldest grandson said with a smile, and Zhang Zhong handed over a few pennies to express his gratitude.

"Gongzi Xie, it's just that this is useless, but this is really unacceptable." Steward Zhang hurriedly excused himself.

The eldest grandson had no choice but to give up.

Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jinyang are all one city and two counties, Chang'an has Chang'an and Wannian counties, Luoyang has Luoyang and Henan counties, and Jinyang is Jinyang and Taiyuan counties, all of which are named after the city where the government is located.

From the moment he entered this Jinyang City, he and Ge Chengze and his party were separated.

Originally, Ge Chengze strongly invited Changsun Tang to live in the courtyard of his house in Jinyang City, but he did not directly agree because of the woman.

"Girl, maybe your relative just changed places, why don't you find a place to live first, and then inquire about it?" The eldest grandson asked.

"It's all up to Childe's arrangement." The woman thought that this relative had not been voted for, and her brother had also been separated, and she couldn't help but feel sad and a little depressed.

"Actually, you don't have to be too sad, Mo Dao has no knowledge of his future path, and no one in the world knows you......" As soon as Changsun Tang said it, he immediately realized that he had less things to use to slap his face in the future.

"That's a good thing, but where is my future?" But the voice is getting lower and lower.

The eldest grandson didn't know how to comfort him, so he only sighed lightly.

The group first threw themselves into the store, and then the eldest Sun Tang took Zhang Zhong and Wang Tietang to go around in Jinyang City.

As a big city in the north and the land of Li Tang's Longxing, Jinyang not only has a special political status, but also its own geographical advantages and surrounding economic foundation have also laid the foundation for his status.

The salt in Jiezhou, as well as the iron mines all over the surrounding area, as well as the clouds facing the northern grasslands, almost all exist with Jinyang as the center.

In ancient times, salt and iron were mostly government-run, because salt provided a guarantee for the state's taxation, and iron was the foundation of national defense, and both of these were basically strictly forbidden to be exported to the grassland.

The three of them wandered aimlessly in Jinyang City, at this time there was no concept of environmental protection in later generations, and because of the special status of the iron-smelting workshop, they were basically in the city.

The eldest grandson actually found a lot of iron-smelting workshops along the way, which made his heart move.

If the iron-smelting industry in Jinyang City can be developed, it will undoubtedly lay a good foundation for the development of various affairs in the future.

He had used his brains about iron before, but he had the impression that China's iron ore sources were Hebei and Liaoning, but these two places were too close to the grassland, and they were not very suitable for development at this time.

Unexpectedly, there was nowhere to find this broken iron shoe, and he actually found a suitable foundation for the development of iron-smelting industry in Jinyang.

The eldest grandson secretly wrote down these things and continued to turn around in this Jinyang City.

As the northern capital, Jinyang has many different places from Chang'an City in addition to these iron-smelting industries.

However, what made Changsun Tang quite depressed was that the three of them earned a circle and got lost.

Changsun Tang was a little speechless, although each of these markets is not much different, but the three big men got lost together, which makes people a little speechless.

But soon the eldest grandson was happy, and after a turn, he actually returned to the door of the house where the woman surnamed Wang went to her relatives. And at this time, there was a circle of people outside the gate.

The eldest grandson planned to go over and join in the fun, and they all came here, and this inn was not far away.

As soon as I got around, I heard such a conversation.

"Boy, you're a little too much, you're on the third day today, I didn't bother with you yesterday, but today I'm here again, dare to report your name, I'll notify the county government to arrest you." Steward Zhang didn't have the same polite attitude towards Changsun Tang as he did.

"My name is Wang Xuance......"
