It's spectacular!

Liu Yuan sat in the carriage, hung up the curtains, and instructed the subordinate of the Cui Mansion to let go slowly, he wanted to experience the scenery and human feelings of the Tang Dynasty.

Out of the palace, there is a Suzaku Street in front of him, and this wide street, Rao is Liu Yuan, who has seen a big scene, was also shocked by the vision: on the street with a width of one hundred and fifty meters, the car is like a dragon, and the carriage he is sitting in seems to be drowned in the crowd.

One hundred and fifty meters, how big that must be, a carriage is calculated according to one meter and five wide, that can make a hundred carriages move side by side at the same time, just imagine, what a magnificent sight it is.

Sitting in the carriage and moving forward slowly, the more he looked, the more Liu Yuan admired Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, when it came to Emperor Yang of Sui, everyone thought of his extravagance, and he killed the loyal people, in fact, from another angle, he was definitely an extremely good designer and artist.

The Grand Canal, with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers (1,794 kilometers left after the construction of the road), is the first artificial canal in the world, 9 times that of the Suez Canal (190 kilometers) and 21 times that of the Panama Canal (80 kilometers). The war against Tuyuhun and the Turks stabilized the border troubles, especially the three expeditions to Goguryeo, which greatly damaged its national and financial strength, strangled Goguryeo, which was thriving and waiting for an opportunity to invade the Central Plains, in the cradle, and laid a firm foundation for the Tang Dynasty to eliminate Goguryeo.

He presided over the construction of Daxing City, which is now Chang'an, can be regarded as an extremely outstanding work of art, when it was most prosperous, the population of Daqing City was as high as one million, so many people lived here, traffic, transportation, water conservancy, defense, management and other issues should be considered. These were all done in less than a year, and it has to be said that he is very talented.

In addition, there is another merit that many people do not know, the Sui Dynasty, which is the only dynasty in history that made Japan subjugate.

Looking at this prosperous street, Liu Yuan always had a feeling that the merits and demerits of Emperor Yang of Sui were really hard to say, but it could only be said to a certain extent. Li Er picked the "peaches" planted by his predecessors and picked up a lot of cheap ones.

"Guest officer, the Suzhou and Hangzhou silk that has just arrived, it is slippery, come and see"

"Good rouge just arrived. It's cheap and good, so you can come and see it if you don't buy it."

"Persian blankets that just arrived. It's so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it. ”

"Freshly baked sesame cakes. Golden and crispy, fragrant and crispy, come and buy it, come and buy it, and make sure you eat with a mouth full of oil."

As we got closer to the West Market, commerce flourished. Among the crowd of people, there are many blonde and blue-eyed Hu businessmen, and sometimes I hear some Hu businessmen who speak foreign languages chatting while walking, with smiles on their faces. I guess it's discussing how to make more money; The guy on the side of the road, for the sake of business is also shouting hard, it seems very prosperous, lively, before arriving in Chang'an, Liu Yuan has to Yangzhou is prosperous enough, but as soon as he comes to Chang'an, he knows that there is a sky outside the sky.

It's already a little bit of the taste of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

After chatting with the coachman, Liu Yuan knew that the person who drove the car did not have a surname, and the people around him called him Ah Shou, the name was quite auspicious, at least more connotative than Ah Niu, Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah Shou's driving skills were good, the carriage was like a swimming fish drilling in many carriages, there was no bump at all, no wonder this Ah Shou was dressed a lot brighter than ordinary slaves, and it turned out that he still had a skill.

"Third aunt, what do you want to buy, the small one can help you refer to it, this Chang'an small one is cooked, that is, any small one can be turned out."

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, is it? Looks like you're pretty familiar with this place. ”

Ah Shou said a little proudly: "Of course, the little father is driving the car for the master, and I sat in the carriage before I sat down, and I could walk many roads with my eyes closed." ”

"Hehe, it's not bad."

"Third aunt, there are a lot of Hu businessmen here, some of them are very bad, be careful when you traffic with them, many of them are indiscriminate, deceive you and leave, the shopkeeper Zhao in the West Market was deceived and almost hanged, that damn Hu businessman, with a Hu Ji to coax the Zhao shopkeeper to the north, and then greedy for a few more cups, when he woke up, the bags of spices bought by more than 300 taels were all fake, and all of a sudden he lost all his money, and when he went to Wuhoupu to report the case and sent someone to arrest him, the Hu businessman with the orchid had already run away without a trace."

"By the way, the son of the Zhao Yushi family, learned to wrap orchids, listened to the pillow style of orchids, and secretly took five hundred taels out and handed them over to her brother to do what kind of trafficking in medicinal materials, but I didn't expect that the most prosperous people and money were empty, Zhao Gongzi was beaten by his old son, and it is said that he couldn't get off the ground after lying in bed for three days."

That Ah Shou talked a lot, and when he saw that Liu Yuan was very talkative, he slowly opened the chatterbox, and took the initiative to talk to Liu Yuan about those anecdotes in the market, and it can be seen that he is a very talkative person.

"What a pretty little Langjun, come on."

"Come on."

"Come on, the slave family will definitely serve you well."

When the carriage just turned a square, a green building suddenly appeared in front of her, and the girl standing on the second floor leaning on the railing, as soon as she saw Liu Yuan, she immediately secretly sent Qiu Bo and made a provocative remark, which surprised Liu Yuan.

The Tang Dynasty is open, it is not a scandal for the people to go to the kiln and the officials to visit the Qinglou, if you don't go to any place to show the man's demeanor, you will be said by your colleagues to be a "countryman" and "a native old man", so there are many prostitutes in the Qinglou, and there is nothing unusual, to Liu Yuan's surprise, the upstairs is full of blonde and blue-eyed orchids, wearing revealing clothes, exposing their snow-white breasts, shaking their small waists, speaking jerky Tang dialect, and soliciting business.

The old bustard at the door also shouted loudly: "Guest officer, the orchid who has just arrived, the first-class goods, the good service, the guarantee is satisfactory to you, if you are willing to pay the silver, the unbudding ones are there, exotic flavors, to ensure that you have fun." ”

Liu Yuan was a little speechless.

The status of these orchids and Hu people is very low, even a house slave who drives a car also looks down on them, those exotic beauties, not far away from running here to "sell meat", spend a little silver, do whatever they want, and many rich families, will also raise some orchids as prostitutes, entertain relatives and friends, everywhere shows the arrogance of the "Heavenly Empire", and then look at the faces of those who are charming in later generations, for the so-called going abroad, young girls marry foreign old men, a foreign beggar who has fallen into the soul, When you come to China, you can play with those beautiful and high-quality women at will, and some even African blacks want to be around, and it really makes people feel speechless when they say it

It's still good that the country is strong and prosperous, look at how good this Datang is, the people of Datang are walking with their heads held high, with pride in their words, and those Hu businessmen are all bowing their heads, walking next to the roadside, looking at the people of Datang is also a compliment, on the way, Liu Yuan also saw a tall and white fat Hu Shang, who was kowtowing to a Wuhou shop (equivalent to the current police station), as if begging for something.

As passing through a large square gate, a huge market appeared in front of you, people came and went here, the shops could not see the end at a glance, silk shops, cloth shops, pharmacies, rice shops, porcelain shops, grocery stores, etc., all the way out, the goods in the shops were dazzling, shouting, bargaining voices were endless, the sound of waves was there, even Liu Yuan who was sitting in the carriage could feel it.

The two huge words "West Market" immediately caught Liu Yuan's eyes: after three square entrances, Liu Yuan finally came to the goal of his trip: one of the two major commercial places in Chang'an: West Market.

This, can this be called a city?

Rows of shops are scattered and sit on top of the West Market, at a glance there are shops everywhere, according to this scale, there are thousands of them, if each shop is only counted as a shopkeeper, two guys, there are more than 10,000 people here, and then there are merchants who come and go to purchase, travelers who travel back and forth, people who need to purchase, not to mention tens of thousands of people, a market has tens of thousands of people, what kind of scale does it have to be, what kind of liveliness.

Ordinary people are curious, emotional, and amazed when they see it, attracted by the prosperity here, and shocked by the excitement at this time, as the people of Datang, a sense of pride will rise in their hearts, but for Liu Yuan, seeing this situation is simply blood boiling.

Business opportunity, huge business opportunity.

Liu Yuan's heart was a little enthusiastic.

Although he is now a scholar, waiting for Li Er's will, Liu Yuan is no longer a white body, has an official position, and can be regarded as an official, but in Liu Yuan's bones, he is still a businessman who likes to make money.

Li Er's current can be regarded as a big deal.

"Third aunt, the twelfth shop of Xishi Jia has arrived." Liu Yuanzheng sighed, Na Shou had already stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain, took a small bench and put it on the ground, and carefully served Liu Yuan to get out of the carriage.

It looks very eye-catching.

Liu Yuan walked down and saw the sign of "The Twelfth Shop of A" at the door, but the door was sealed, and at a glance, he knew that it was the shop that was confiscated into the treasury in the mouth of the eldest grandson Wuji.

This is a two-storey street shop, an area of about 100 square meters, located at the crossroads, there are trees planted on both sides, there is a small river next to it, the geographical location, the environment and the decoration are good, the doors and windows at a glance know that it is mahogany, generous and strong, and there is a plaque of Qian's silk on the shop crookedly.

Obviously, its predecessor was a silk business, so it can be regarded as a high-end shop, and it should be quite clean inside.

However, now the title deed of this beautiful shop will soon be handed over to him, and it won't be long before the plaque of the branch of the Jinyu family is hanging here, becoming a part of the Chang'an shop.

Liu Yuan nodded, very satisfied, and looked at the surrounding environment at will, suddenly, Liu Yuan was excited, his eyes were blankly looking at the plaque of the shop opposite, and the whole person was stunned: opposite was the No. 11 shop of A, which was a shop dealing in jewelry, and there was a striking plaque hanging on the door:

Jin Yuzun! (To be continued.) )

PS: Something has to be postponed, I'm very sorry~~~~
