How to be great? Go and build a magnificent building that towers over heaven and makes people feel divine greatness.

How to behave small? Go and build a magnificent building, when you stand under a high wall and look up, the great building sets off the insignificance of the individual.

There is a city full of these great buildings - this is Luoyang, Tokyo, which is also the capital of the Central Plains.

Central Plains Province, also known as Henan Province, referred to as Henan, has four counties of Luoyang, Kaifeng, Anyang and Xinyang, more than 900 counties, with a total of 350 million people, accounting for almost one-tenth of the world's population. And the largest Luoyang City, the population of the city alone is 12 million! Tokyo Luoyang is one of the four capitals in the east, west, north and south, and its status in the Ming Dynasty is second only to Xijing Chang'an, higher than Beijing Yanjing and Nanjing Jinling.

The car came to her feet like an ant to an elephant's feet, and the car passed through her city gates like an ant climbing on an elephant's legs.

Of course, Luoyang, Tokyo, is man-made, but the people of Luoyang claim to be made by God. Here's what they said:

After God opened the world, he traveled everywhere. He soared through the clouds and came to the Central Plains. He looked at the endless land of the Central Plains and was full of joy. He decided to build a city on it for the royal family he had just created. He raised his left hand, and the boulders of Mount Tai in the east, Mount Hua in the west, Mount Heng in the south, Mount Heng in the north, and Mount Song in the middle flew into the sky and came to the Central Plains. He raised his right hand, and countless stones were automatically cut, turning into neat stones and beautiful sculptures, and these stones slowly fell, building the incomparably brilliant Luoyang City. God was very satisfied, and engraved the five big characters of "Daming Luoyang City" on the city gate.

Luoyang has never been breached, and outside her is a moat more than ten meters wide and more than ten meters deep, a thousand square kilometers of body wrapped in a wall a hundred meters high and hundreds of meters thick, and it defies all machine guns, artillery, and aircraft and tanks. No matter how the rulers and people inside change, she will not move.

Looking at Luoyang City, I was very excited.

Everything was exactly as imagined!

Five tall city gates side by side side together, the middle is particularly huge, there is a vermilion palace on it, the door plaque is written with three big characters "Dingding Gate", the words are written vigorously and retro. The red provincial flag of "Ding of the Central Plains" is hunting and fluttering at every city entrance.

There were a large number of horse-drawn carriages parked at each door, some pulling grain, some pulling goods, and some pulling people, with a small number of cars in between.

Behind each city gate, there were a large number of soldiers, the royal army wearing yellow clothes, and the Central Plains Provincial Army wearing gray clothes. The imperial army has a golden dragon banner and carries a spear on its back; The provincial soldiers had black dragon flags and sabers at their waists; Some officers had pistols pinned to their waists.

They were checking everybody, doing body searches, checking cars, collecting taxes. Everyone moves quickly and without expression.

Our car drove into the checkpoint, and Dongfang Tian said, "Get out of the car and check." "He opened all the doors and trunk.

We all got off. Several soldiers surrounded us, and several other soldiers began to search the car carefully. Everyone gave their documents to the soldiers. Dongfang Liang also handed over a bunch of other documents.

One of the soldiers looked at the documents, and then looked at the documents. He stared at my family registration card with cold triangular eyes, which contained the only photograph of me at the age of twenty, taken at the rite of passage at the age of sixteen. He said, "Why did this hillbilly get here?" ”

Dongfang Liang pointed to another document.

Bing Hu looked at the documents submitted by Dongfang Liang again. The above is probably a relocation order issued by the capital or some high-ranking place, because if it weren't, I would be immediately executed for the crime of blind exile.

The other soldiers also searched the car, from the seat to the wheels, from the front cover to the trunk. There are no anomalies.

The soldier who searched the car nodded to the commander, and the commander said, "You can go." ”

They don't even have to pay toll taxes, they move freely, and the nobles are indeed the rulers of this world.

Our car slowly passed through the tunnel-like palace gate.

There are not enough eyes!

Luoyang is worthy of being the provincial capital of the Central Plains, worthy of being called Tokyo, and is one of the four capitals. The streets are wide and clean, with rows of shops, busy with traffic and pedestrians. In addition, it is the New Year's Day, and the streets are even more lively.

When I saw a street, I thought to myself, this is the center of the city! But then you can see bigger, longer, higher, and more prosperous streets! This is repeated several times, and it is becoming more and more prosperous! I'm almost choking with excitement! "If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk", this scenery makes people excited and can't help themselves! Sure enough, it didn't come in vain! It's worth it!

Dozens of meters high, seven or eight stories of high-rise buildings are everywhere. Temples and churches can also be seen occasionally, wine shops and theaters are scattered all over the streets and alleys, and occasionally several princely mansions can be seen, and their large lions with teeth and claws at their entrances.

The business district is a unique area of the city. There are only a few streets in Luobei County where things are sold, and Luoyang is almost everywhere. I actually saw that there was a whole street for selling chickens, a whole street for selling donkeys, a street for selling dustpans, and even a street for selling potatoes! The business district is full of mule, horse-drawn carts, and donkey carts, and cars honk their horns all the way through.

Behind the business district are the halls of various provinces, such as Hebei Pavilion, Liaodong Pavilion, Jiangsu-Zhejiang Pavilion, Lingnan Pavilion, etc., as well as smaller Handan Pavilion, Fuzhou Pavilion, Xiangyang Pavilion, etc., and even saw a Shaxian Pavilion. Some of these guilds are government-run, some are nobles, some are private, some are lodging, and it is even said that they have other ulterior purposes.

Luoyang Street stretches from the city gate to the center of the city - Ziwei Imperial City, which is the emperor's Central Plains palace. The buildings of the Imperial City are generally twice as tall as those outside, and they appear sacred and glorious but lifeless, after all, the emperor rarely comes here, and there are not many people inside. The capital of the Ming Dynasty is Chang'an, Xijing, not Luoyang, Tokyo. The Imperial City of Ziwei is surrounded by a river in the city, which can only be accessed by lowering the drawbridge.

Behind the Imperial City is the Guanfu District.

Facing the Provincial Government and the Overseer's Mansion are the Governor's and Overseer's territory. This was followed by the Supervision Bureau, the Scholars Bureau, the Commoners Bureau, the Untouchables Bureau, the Migration Bureau, the Passage Bureau, the Household Registration Bureau, the Marriage Bureau, the Divorce Bureau, the Concubinage Bureau, the Sect Bureau, the Gang Bureau, the Imperial Army Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Religious Affairs Bureau, the Technology Bureau, the Civil Affairs Bureau, the County Judicial Bureau, the Finance Bureau, the Personnel Bureau, the Labor Bureau, the Resources Bureau, the Planning Bureau, the Construction Bureau, the Municipal Council, the Transportation Bureau, the Food Bureau, the Commerce Bureau, the Cultural Bureau, the Health Bureau, the Audit Bureau, the Taxation Bureau, the Quality Bureau, the Environment Bureau, the Industry Bureau, the Agriculture Bureau, the Broadcasting Bureau, the Television Bureau, the News Bureau, the Publishing Bureau, Cultural Relics Bureau, Sports Bureau, Statistics Bureau, Price Bureau, Food Bureau, Drug Bureau, Air Defense Bureau, Forestry Bureau, Information Bureau, Government Military Bureau, Forbidden Military Bureau, Tax Bureau, Good People Bureau, Quasi-Life Bureau, Quasi-Death Bureau, Death Bureau, Treatment Bureau, Health Bureau, Mental Normal Bureau, Cremation Bureau, Grave Bureau, Quasi-Birth Bureau, First Marriage Bureau, Initial Childbirth Bureau, Marriage Inspection Bureau, Yellow Flower Girls Bureau, Non-Yellow Flower Girls Bureau, Pregnancy Diagnosis Bureau, Survival Bureau Fertility Bureau, Second Survival Bureau Fertility Bureau, Floating Population Fertility Bureau, Glory Bureau for Multiple Children, Shame Bureau for Many Children, Glory Bureau for Young Children, Stigma of Young Children, Prevention Bureau, Vaccination Bureau, Health Bureau, Unhealthy Bureau, Foreign-related Marriage Bureau, Newlywed Training Bureau, Marriage and Childbirth Training Qualification Bureau, Health Service Bureau, Birth Control Bureau, Fertility Bureau, Survival Bureau, Cremation Bureau, Burial Bureau, Pension Bureau, Registration Bureau, Book Office, Jiangbian Bureau, Coastal Bureau, Border Defense Bureau, Road Maintenance Bureau, Tree Raising Bureau, Business Bureau, Business Licensing Bureau, Tax Registration Bureau, Health Licensing Bureau, Fire Licensing Bureau, Income Bureau, Funeral Bureau, Tombstone Bureau, Birth Bureau, Full Moon Bureau, One Year Bureau, Adult Bureau, Middle-aged Bureau, The Elderly Bureau, the Women's Bureau, the Eunuchs Bureau, the Retirement Bureau, the Retirement Bureau, the No Crime Bureau, the Ethics Bureau, the Justice Bureau, the Loyalty and Filial Piety Bureau, the Graduation Bureau, the Graduation Bureau, the Retirement Bureau, the Temporary Residence Bureau, the Chang'an Bureau, the Luoyang Bureau, the Driving Bureau, the Curfew Bureau, the Stalls Bureau, the Employment Bureau, the Industrial Bureau, the Private Gang Bureau, the Housing Bureau, the Field Bureau, the Food Bureau, the Water Bureau, the City Bureau, the Bicycle Bureau, the Rickshaw Bureau, the Tricycle Bureau, the Four-Wheeled Vehicle Bureau, the Carriage Bureau, the Automobile Bureau, the Armored Car Bureau, the Tank Bureau, the Aircraft Bureau, and the Village Bureau, Township Bureau, County Bureau, Provincial Bureau, Railway Bureau, Road Bureau, Royal Road Bureau, Pet Bureau, Animal Health Bureau, Water Conservancy Bureau......

Every game is a big red door plus a big lion......

Walking through the official district, it is the Shi area. The homes of the major scholars in the Central Plains are here, and I saw that the big red gate on the street was getting bigger and bigger, and there were all kinds of big stone lions at the door.

Our car walked around the Shi clan area for a while and came to a large gate with a plaque on the vermilion gate that read "Oriental Family Mansion".

Dongfang Liang: "It's here." This is the Dongfang family's guild hall in the Central Plains, not our headquarters, but it is no worse than the ordinary Central Plains scholars. Take a break and think long-term. ”

Obviously, the soldiers at the door were very familiar with Dongfang Liang and the others, and they directly opened the door to let us in.

Facing it is a wall of seven dragon screens, and the seven dragons with teeth and claws show that the status of the Oriental family is second only to the royal family of the Nine Dragons Supreme.

The car turned in, and Dongfang Tian parked the car in the open space on the side, and several identical black sedans were already parked inside.

Dongfang Liang: "I still have some things with Dongfang Tian. Xiaoqiang, you are also an acquaintance here, take the big cow around more. This is our home, don't see it. ”

Dongfang Liang and Dongfang Tian walked away.

Dongfang Qiang raised his left hand, and a watch was revealed. He stared closely: "It's four o'clock." ”

Me: "Wow, watch. I've only seen it once in the county. ”

Of course I know he's showing off, and I'm patting him on the back, and it doesn't cost anything anyway.

Me: "How did you get it?" ”

Actually, I didn't bother to care how he got it. The things that everyone gets and the things that they do well are accidental, and the experience of others is completely useless to themselves.

He said proudly: "Haha, once I followed the head of the family to suppress bandits, and after a vicious battle, I picked it up from a gang leader. That time, the young master was happy and let us keep the loot, so I took it back. ”

Me: "This thing can be changed to a big house with us." ”

Who knows, I'd rather have a pistol in exchange. The premise is "we are there", so the wrong fart can be lied.

He squinted and said proudly, "Haha, not here." However, this antique has a high appreciation value. Nowadays, no one can make it, and there is one less bad one, and I am usually reluctant to take it out. ”

We talked as we walked, and I talked as I walked and looked at the Oriental Mansion.

Big.

It's huge.

Still big.

It's a bit of a rush – I mean, everything is new. The turf was freshly paved, the old trees were still wrapped with twine, the holly was covered with tarpaulin, the pond was exposed with cement, the carved beams were being painted—everything showed that the hall was a new one.

Well, after all, the Dongfang family is a force in Liangzhou, and it has no foundation in the Central Plains - it feels like a nouveau riche.

Dongfang Qiang walked to a row of rooms and pushed the door open at one of the doors. I left my luggage by the door and followed.

This room is about 20 square meters, there are two beds, two desks, in fact, everything is two, it seems that this is a double room.

He sat down on one of the beds and said, "Sit down." ”

I sat on the bed across from him.

I looked around. Everything is standard, the clothes and so on are very simple, the things of the two people are the same, neatly arranged, the quilts are folded as if they have been cut with knives, and the two sabers are hung on the walls on both sides. I didn't see any personal objects of any individuality. Obviously, this is a barracks, but it's just a high-level barracks.

He stooped and laboriously dragged a black suitcase from under his bed, opened it, and a pile of things was immediately revealed.

He's such a lover of life! There's so much stuff in it that it's like a girl who has played with the house. There were: underwear, clothes, colorful books, a knife, a pair of cloth shoes, and some items that I can't name, I don't know if they are toys or hidden weapons.

……

I was so tired today, I fell asleep in bed.

Until someone wakes him up.

I was still in a trance when I was called, I didn't know when or where I was, but after a while I realized that I was no longer in my own village!

There was a group of people standing around, all young men in their twenties.

Dongfang Qiang: "I'm going to lecture in the evening, you can come with us too." ”
