Chapter 46 The Imperial Pen Signboard

Walk out of the palace gate at the corner of the east wall, cross the small bridge, and go south along the river bank to the edge of the Luo River.

Boats come and go on the Luoshui River, and many of them are merchant ships coming and going from the south to the north.

The Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, which reached the Tongji Canal in Yuhang in the south and the Yongji Canal in Zhuojun in the north.

The money and grain transferred from the south and the goods from the north all had to pass through here, and then along the Yellow River and the Guanzhong Cao Canal to Chang'an.

As a water transportation hub, known as "the world's boats gather in Luoyang", the water transportation is convenient, and naturally it has also driven the prosperity of one party.

Of course, there are still a lot of pleasure boats on the river at the moment, after all, the spring / light is just right, the Luo River is rippling, the green willows on both sides are swaying, and there are many people who come out to step on the spring.

Literati, ordinary people, and even the daughters of large families joined in. Or take a boat on the water, or walk on both banks.

The Tang Dynasty is open, women don't have to hide it, they wear flowers and branches one by one, and their dresses are fluttering. Or watch the willows by the river, or stand at the head of the bridge to overlook the palace, or sit around the grass and chat, and some even play juju and polo on the river beach.

Lively, really lively!

Xie Yi stood on the Tianjin Bridge, and a beautiful and noisy picture of Luoshui Spring Outing jumped in front of him.

The Tianjin Bridge at the foot is also built by the former Sui Dynasty, located in front of the Luoyang Palace, connecting both sides of the Luohe River, which is convenient for the people to come and go.

The beautiful design of this bridge, coupled with the excellent scenery on both sides of the Luohe River, has gradually become a famous spot in Luoyang, and "Tianjin Xiaoyue" has become one of the eight scenic spots in Luoyang.

Such a beautiful scenery, but unaccompanied to enjoy, inevitably a little regrettable.

Standing on the Tianjin Bridge, seeing the woman in a gorgeous spring shirt and a smile, Xie Yi couldn't help but think of a few words: Now I remember Jiangnan Music, when I was young and thin. Riding a horse leaning on the bridge, full of red sleeves.

There are countless beauties on both sides of the strait, full of red sleeves fluttering, but Xie Yi didn't look at it, and only remembered the Huaiyang beauties who had been with her for a long time.

It's a pity that I was supposed to light the moon with my heart, but the bright moon shines on the ditch, but I was turned away from the door, so it is not desolate.

Xie Yi still hasn't figured out why his sister-in-law Du Shi's attitude changed sharply, and he doesn't want to think about it if he doesn't understand.

Since Li Ermajesty said that tomorrow is an auspicious day for the zodiac, then there is nothing to do today, just go out of the palace to do some things, and take a break by the way.

Sure enough, several soldiers of the forbidden army immediately changed into civilian clothes and followed behind Xie Yi in disguise as subordinates. The emperor has a decree, and the safety of the men in Huaiyang County must be guaranteed at present.

After Xie Yi sighed slightly at Tianjin Bridge, he went all the way south and went straight to Luoyang South City.

The Sui and Tang dynasties implemented the fang market system, and Chang'an and Luoyang cities were divided into many small squares, which were called fang markets. The people lived in neatly divided workshops, each with a door, which was opened regularly every day.

In addition, there are east and west markets in Chang'an City, and there are north and south cities in Luoyang, which is the commercial area in the city. There are many shops in the city, and business can only be traded here.

There are strict time limits in the market, and merchants and people can only trade for a fixed time, and they will close at night, and a curfew will be imposed in the city.

Today's eastern capital Luoyang may not be as prosperous as Chang'an, but Luoyang South City is not much worse than Chang'an East City.

Where roads intersect and transportation is convenient, business will inevitably prosper, which has been the truth since ancient times. Luoyang, the eastern capital, is located in the Central Plains, with three major rivers, namely Hehe, Luo, and Yi, plus two large canals in the north and south dug artificially, and the convenience of water transportation ranks first in the world.

The world's materials gather here, and it is natural that all industries are prosperous and business is prosperous. Luoyang South City is full of shops, and businessmen come and go endlessly, including many Hu people from the Western Regions, which can be regarded as the CBD of Datang.

In this kind of prosperous place, every inch of land is at a premium, and the rental and purchase of shops are worth a lot. Not long after entering Nanshi, Xie Yi looked around, stared at a Qionghua sign, and went straight into the store.

Lu Tong was busy on the counter, and when he saw Xie Yi's figure, he hurriedly took three steps and made two steps, bowed down and said, "The villain greets Xie County's man." ”

"Why should Lu Dongzhu be so polite?"

"It should be, the prince is now an official and his status is respectful, which is not the same as in the past." Lu Tong was polite and respectful from the bottom of his heart.

He was very glad that he had chosen it at the beginning, it was really too wise, Xie Yi was definitely a noble person of the Lu family.

In just a few months, from a civilian loser, he first became a guest of honor in the Assassin's Mansion, and now he has entered the palace and has been reused by the Son of Heaven, and he has been knighted at a young age.

Although the baron is a bit humble, Lu Tong believes that Xie Yi is young and promising, and his future is limitless. The Lu family was attached to him, and naturally benefited a lot, and it became more and more determined to follow Xie Yi. After receiving Xie Yi's letter, he immediately went north to Luoyang, ordered this shop, and waited for Xie County's male driver.

Xie Yi smiled: "Lord Lu, don't be so angry, let's be like before!" ”

"In that case, then the villain should still call you son!" Lu Tong was full of smiles, he was naturally willing to be closer to Xie Yi.

"Good!" Xie Yi nodded and said, "It's not easy to set up such a shop in the prosperous place of Nanshi, right?" ”

"It took some effort to get it from a Yangzhou businessman at a high price." Lu Tong said with a smile: "Childe said that Luoyang is important, and the villain thinks it is worth spending more money." ”

"Worth it, well done!" Xie Yi praised and asked, "But are they all still smooth?" ”

Lu Tong said in a deep voice: "It's basically smooth, but there are also a few other commercial houses that want to take down this store, and now we are the first, I am afraid that we will hold a grudge." ”

Xie Yi frowned and asked, "Are you worried that someone will retaliate and make a stumbling block?" ”

"In business, there is such a situation." Lu Tong was slightly worried, and at the same time asked Xie Yi for advice. There are many shops in Luoyang South City, and many of them have powerful backgrounds behind them, and ordinary people can't afford to offend them at all.

"Don't be afraid! I'll bring you a treasure of the town shop, an amulet. After Xie Yi finished speaking, he took out a scroll and commanded; Find someone to frame it and hang it in the hall, so that no one dares to come to the door to make trouble. ”

Lu Tong respectfully unfolded the scroll, only to see that there were three big words written on it, "Qionghua Brewing", vigorous and powerful, and majestic.

"I don't know which famous writer this is, although the villain doesn't know calligraphy, but he also knows that it is a good word." Lu Tong asked in a whisper.

"Such a vigorous and imposing flying white body, except for today's majesty, who can write it?"

"Your Majesty?!" Lu Tong was suddenly startled, and knelt on the ground with a respectful expression.

"Yes!"

"The villain was immediately framed, hung in the hall, and burned incense every day to worship!" Lu Tong's voice trembled a little, and he was also very excited. With these three words, who would dare to embarrass the firm? Since ancient times, how many commercial houses have been given by the emperor? This is a great honor for the smoke of the ancestral tomb!

Look, another person poisoned by feudal imperial power! Burning incense every day is really ...... Why do you think this picture is so strange?

Xie Yi sighed lightly and ordered: "Also, expand these words and send them to the Yuezhou magnetic kiln, so that the kiln workers can burn them in bottles." ”

"Wonderful!" Lu Tong immediately sighed: "The inscription of the imperial pen, Qionghua brewing will inevitably be marketed all over the world, and it will be popular for centuries." ”

Xie Yi waved his hand and said, "Come on, it's good to know." However, it must be remembered that the texture of the wine must be guaranteed, otherwise it will not only smash the signboard, but also damage the majesty of the heavens, but it will be a sin. ”

"Yes, yes!" Lu Tong immediately resigned: "The villain understands that the workshop is being built, and the villain will personally check the matter of opening the pot and brewing wine to ensure the quality." ”

"So much the best!" Xie Yi asked, "How much wine did you bring with you when you came this time?" ”

"A total of 4,000 liters, which can fill 2,000 bottles."

Xie Yi said with a smile: "Okay, put a hundred bottles, pack them finely, and send them to the king of Hejian and several princes in Luoyang." ”

"Yes, yes, the villain is ready immediately." I heard that it was a gift for Xungui, and Lu Tong was very positive and upset.

"Well, this will be filled with twenty bottles first, General Lu Guogong Cheng once asked me for wine, and I happened to be free today, so I will personally send it later." Xie Yi took a deep breath lightly and gave wine to the Demon King of the Mixed World, feeling quite stressed when he thought about it.
