Chapter 171: To Yangzhou
Several people gradually approached the archway, and the speed slowly slowed down, Li Chen had already seen that the person waiting below the archway, dressed in a dark cyan robe, was Wei Xuan.
'Master. Wei Xuan also saw the person coming, and after confirming Lairen's identity, he stepped forward to greet him, "Old Wei, I'm really happy to see you." Thank you for your hard work. Li Chen turned over and dismounted, and Da Da also dismounted immediately, and then Ah Yong and Xiao Liang couldn't continue to be on the horse, and they also came down one after another.
'Master, Chashan has been bought, and Xuan hasn't waited here for a few days. A few people greeted and chatted, and Wei Xuan got down to business, "The house is also good, only the new tile is willing to give up, and it has not been decided yet, and it needs to be decided by the owner." ''Well, we'll go see it in the afternoon, and we'll go to see the house today.'' ’
'There doesn't seem to be much in Daming Temple today. Is it the usual way? Li Chen suddenly remembered that Daming Temple is a famous temple in Yangzhou, and there should be an endless stream of people who are getting into the incense, and Daming Temple is famous, even he knows, so he will make an appointment in Daming Temple, he wants Wei Xuan to buy a good tea mountain, so he will come to Yangzhou, first buy an industry, and then come to Daming Temple to wait for him, but today I looked,
Daming Temple is not worthy of its name, and there are too few people who come to the incense.
Oh, that's right, it's a coincidence that the master came, and a few days ago, this place was really a good place. The square in front of the temple is full of cars. But what... Wei Xuan explained, there are really a lot of ordinary people in Daming Temple, and there are more people praying for blessings and festivals, but...
'What, what a coincidence. ''Burn?'' Anyway, those bhikshus have money, so let's rebuild. Wei Xuan said the reason, causing a burst of exclamation.
Daming Temple, also known as Qiling Temple, because in the temple, there is a nine-story pagoda, the name of Qiling Pagoda. The history of this tower is not as long as Daming Temple, Daming Temple was built in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Qiling Temple, built in the first year of Sui Renshou, has a history of nearly two hundred and fifty years.
For so long, such a historical pagoda naturally attracts a lot of sassy ink writers, Li Bai, Liu Yuxi, Bai Juyi... and other celebrities, all of whom have been there, and of course they have left a lot of poems and chapters.
However, such a famous tower, a few days ago, burned..., because of the lightning strike, the Qiling Pagoda burned, which caused the Daming Temple to be deserted in front of the gate these days.
'Whoa, those bhikshus must have done sin, and as a result, they will be punished by heaven. This is Ah Yongde's reaction, and the bhikshu's reaction to having money is Xiao Liang, and it seems that they don't have a good impression of Buddhism. Li Chen didn't react, just thinking about how he would sell it to the temples with the most wooden towers if he launched the lightning rod.
Buddhism likes to build a pagoda the most, and the so-called floating Buddha is a pagoda. Don't talk about Daming Temple, there are two towers in Yangzhou City, one east and one west like each other. Yangzhou has an active business atmosphere, which has affected Li Chen, otherwise his reaction will be the same as Ah Yong and them, and now he only has to think about how to prove that he is no longer afraid of thunder with this absolute force.
'Where do you want your house?' Wei Xuan didn't take the group back the same way,
After crossing the Daming Bridge, you will cross the northernmost gate and enter through the second gate in the middle.
In Huitongfang, here is not far from the West Market, walk along the street, cross the Guangji Bridge, is the East Market, down the point is Hu City, a little close to the edge of the residential area, close to the business district. ’
Yangzhou, Luocheng can be roughly divided into three districts, residential areas, this is the largest. The business district is dominated by the eastern and western cities and the big city, as well as the surrounding areas. The east and west markets are for the residents of Yangzhou, and the big cities are all Hu merchants, and merchant ships from afar.
The area of the big city is very large, occupying three rows and six squares. The East Market and the West Market both have only one account. There will be such a difference, not that the transaction volume of the large market needs to be three times that of the eastern and western cities combined, but that the large market is usually also a Hu settlement.
The attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards those Hu merchants who came from afar was to assign a block to you, so that those Tibetan people could be autonomous, as long as you didn't come out to cause trouble.
There is only one area left, which is the workshop area. In the southwest corner of the city. However, it is said that it is divided into three districts, but in fact, the boundary is not so obvious.
'Old Wei, to tell you the truth, we can't go back to Xufu in a short time. Along the way, Li Chen still told Wei Xuan the news. Wei Xuan didn't ask, he probably guessed something, instead of letting him guess blindly, Li Chen simply told Wei Xuan about the things during this time.
'It's okay if you're all right. Although there doesn't seem to be any thrilling story, Wei Xuan was still scared when he heard that Li Chen burned thousands of people in the Silver Sword Army, and he was afraid that the Silver Sword Army would be desperate and forcibly chase and kill. Knowing that everyone was safe and sound made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Here it is, here it is. Wei Xuan led everyone to the door of a slightly dilapidated mansion, Ah Yong and Xiao Liang looked around, and then said goodbye and left. They followed to Yangzhou, in addition to protecting Li Chen, they also had to find a new home.
Their group is not so conspicuous, although they are also numerous, but they are not as good as some big people traveling, accompanied by the number of attendants. So I'm not in a hurry to find a house, and I'm sorry to stay in the store for a few more days. will follow, mainly to recognize the door, and when it is confirmed that Li Chen lives in that place, the place is determined, the two of them are not ambiguous, and they will leave directly.
'Place is ok. Wei Xuan led the way, and Li Chen and Da Da walked in. After the dilapidated exterior wall, the interior layout is no different from that of the ordinary mansions of the Tang Dynasty. Entering the outer wall is a chamber, which gives the porter a place to stay. Then there is the small square, where the stables are also located, and the width is for easy parking.
When you enter the main gate, it is a huge quadrangle, one after another. In addition to being very dilapidated, it is quite clean, and it seems that Wei Xuan has found someone to clean it. Some furniture and everything are also arranged, as long as people come, buy some bedding or something, you can move in.
And there is no way to do it, if no one lives in it for a long time and loses popularity, the house will naturally be dilapidated. It will not be able to sell for a long time, because it is too big, it belongs to a wealthy businessman, and then the family fails, and it is difficult to sell it, and those who have money to buy it do not want to buy, and they can't afford to buy it.
After confirming the place, Li Chen did not rush to find a new location for Vashe, and after purchasing food, bedding, and some daily necessities, it was dark. The next day, Li Chen took Wei Xuan to the dock to greet the group.
'It's Silla people again, why are there so many Silla dogs. ''Quiet. It was not only Li Chen who picked up people at the dock, but also Ah Yong and Xiao Liang, they saw a responsible officer at the dock, Ah Yong spat disdainfully and scolded the Silla dog.
Li Chen didn't have any expression on his face, he also hated these Silla people, and continued to look into the distance, waiting for the ship to come. It's just that he didn't notice that the Silla people who were spurned by Ah Yong were quietly paying attention to them. (To be continued.) )
