Chapter 182, Zhang Rang (ask for collection, subscription)
As the capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang is definitely a prosperous place, and it is the only royal city, more prosperous than the two giant cities of Wancheng in Nanyang and Chang'an in Jingzhao.
Perhaps the population of Henan Yin is not as large as that of Nanyang County, but the population of Luoyang City definitely exceeds that of Wancheng.
Liu Feng's first feeling when he walked into Luoyang was that the roads in Luoyang were very wide, even wider than a long street now, all paved with bluestone, exuding a quaint atmosphere and a kind of vitality.
A sense of heaviness - this is the essence of a thousand-year-old capital. Liu Feng is grateful to the designers of the games for making this feeling extremely real.
Flowers are blooming, and flags are displayed. Liu Feng and his entourage are like dirt buns who have never seen the world, and they are surprised by everything.
Soon, they arrived at the rest station, which was specially prepared for these people. After a while, Liu Bei's brothers also moved in.
"Xuande, are you interested in visiting Luoyang City?" Liu Feng asked.
"Of course, this is the capital of my Han Dynasty, so naturally I have to take a good look." Liu Bei smiled, "This is the first time I've come to Luoyang!" ”
"In fact, everyone is the same, compared to those children of the family, they can come to Taixue when they are studying!" Liu Feng said, "However, there are many dignitaries in Luoyang, so it's best to keep a low profile when you go out, we are new to the city, don't make trouble for yourself." You, in particular, Yide, have a temper in check. Finally, Liu Feng also reminded Zhang Fei.
"I don't need you to say it, I naturally won't cause trouble for my eldest brother." Zhang Fei didn't have a good airway.
Although Zhang Fei apologized to Liu Feng at Liu Bei's request, and also recognized Liu Feng's strength, Zhang Fei didn't like this stranger who was unhappy with him as soon as he came up, even if he did his brother a great favor.
A group of seven or eight people came out of the post station, and they were greeted by Tiance and the thieves of troubled times.
"City Lord Liu Feng, this is going out, can you wait for us to be together?" Tiance greeted him, after such a good while, they naturally wanted to have a relationship with Sanying.
"This ......" Liu Feng thought in his heart how to refuse, but before he could come up with it, he was interrupted.
"We don't know each other, why do we want to go with you?" Zhang Fei said with a dissatisfied face. He transferred his resentment against Liu Feng directly to the two of them.
"Two, I'm really sorry, we'll meet again another day, you better go and settle down first!" Liu Feng pretended to be regretful, but he was full of praise for Zhang Fei in his heart. Of course, he didn't want to give it to others easily.
Seeing Liu Feng and his entourage leaving, the thief of the troubled times sighed with emotion: "It is worthy of being the first city lord, the relationship with Liu Guanzhang is so close, we can go shopping together." If it were me, I wouldn't want to introduce it to others. ”
"So, our strength is still too weak, if we have Liu Feng's strength now, we can naturally intersect with the aborigines. It's a pity that by the time our strength reaches this point, the aborigines don't know how far they have grown. Tiance also sighed.
Luoyang Ju is not easy.
After shopping for a while, Liu Feng understood that this sentence was not a joke. With the current strength of players, few can afford to live in the city.
After a little inquiry, the cheapest inn, 1 day and 1 gold; The cheapest meal, 10 taels for 1 person; Even if you only buy a few buns, flatbreads and the like (I don't know if there are buns, but there are them in the game anyway), one will cost 10 yuan, which is too expensive compared to the countryside.
This is just ordinary, the slightly better wine in the restaurant is paid with "gold", and it is only a small pot; Order a few dishes, and the price is above 100 gold.
What silk, agate, pearl and jade are not very useful, rhino horn, cow tendon, animal skin can be slightly useful...... It's all expensive, not to mention those finished products.
The weapons and armor of the hundred forging level are already in the hundreds of gold; As for the thousand-level ones, they cost thousands to tens of thousands of gold. The quality is different, and the price is naturally different, like those hundred forging grades before Liu Feng, which are worth dozens of gold, and are not even as good as some high-grade excellent grades.
Liu Feng is not like Sanying, he has his own artifact, and the most high-end weapons in his hand are Qianlian-level, and there are only a few pieces, all of which are obtained from Bu Ji and Zhang Mancheng, and there are not many hundred-level weapons, most people can only use ordinary weapons, even the sophisticated-level weapons, and the elite troops are not yet fully equipped.
"Alas, I thought it would be good to have a million gold, but I didn't expect money to be so inhibitable, and the things here are too expensive." Walking out of the gate of a weapons workshop, Liu Bei sighed.
"Who says it's not, you can only buy one or two to have fun!" Liu Feng also said, "It's really hard to imagine, how rich are those big families, so many people in Kyoto, how much do they consume every year?" ”
"Hmph, it's really a turtle, don't you know that most of the industries in this capital are run by the clan?" A young man passing by heard this and mocked.
"You ......" Zhang Fei immediately wanted to get angry, but was dissuaded by Liu Bei in time.
"Our status is humble, naturally I haven't seen much of the world, it's normal not to understand the situation, forgive me." Liu Feng said.
"It turned out to be a stranger, what happened to me?" The young man continued.
"Highway, let's go to the banquet early, Meng De is still waiting for us!" Another young man next to him stopped him, "Everyone, under the brother Meng Lang, please bear with me." Then without waiting for the young man to speak, he pulled him and left, not allowing Liu Feng to speak.
"In the imperial capital, there are many noble children like this, anyway, it is indispensable to be ridiculed, so it is better to endure it." Liu Feng said, "It's not a matter of dignity. ”
"But it's really aggrieved, how can you be at ease outside." Liu Bei said helplessly, "Those two young men just now are also the children of nobles?" ”
"I didn't know before, but when I heard the word 'highway' just now, I remembered a pair of brothers!" Liu Feng said.
"Oh, who is it?" Liu Bei asked.
"Runan Yuan's family, Yuan Shu, Yuan Highway, and his brother Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, especially if they still know 'Mengde', then it must be right." Liu Feng didn't expect to be so lucky, he bumped into these two people just after coming to Luoyang, and he didn't have a good time.
"The Yuan family of the fourth and third princes is really a rich and noble family." Liu Bei said. In these years, the name of the fourth and third dukes is still very effective, not only Liu Bei didn't say anything, but even Zhang Fei didn't speak anymore, but it was certain that he was unhappy with them.
"I can have a banquet with the descendants of the Yuan family," Liu Bei suddenly remembered something and asked, "Cao Duwei's family background is also extraordinary, right?" Although he has a good relationship with Cao Cao, Liu Bei doesn't know Cao Cao's family background, after all, the Cao family's reputation is not as famous as the Yuan family, and the reputation is not good (after all, he is a descendant of eunuchs), and Cao Cao is not a person who likes to brag.
"Of course it's extraordinary, Brother Meng De's father is still one of the Nine Qings, maybe he will become the third prince one day." Liu Feng said with a smile, "He and the Yuan brothers have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is extraordinary. ”
Liu Bei stopped talking, not knowing what to think.
"Let's go, go back, if we continue like this, it will hit my self-confidence even more." Liu Feng beckoned everyone to go back.
When I arrived at the post house, I found that someone was waiting, and when I asked, I realized that it was someone sent by Zuo Feng.
"Two Liu Sima, Father-in-law Zuo instructed the little messenger, tonight when Shen, he will come to pick up the two of them and go to the mansion of Marquis Zhang together." The person who came was also a little eunuch.
"Isn't Zuo Feng's efficiency slow!" Liu Feng and Liu Bei glanced at each other, and they both had this feeling in their hearts.
rewarded the little eunuch and entered the post house, Liu Feng asked Liu Bei to speak.
"Xuande, you can't go tonight!" Liu Feng's first sentence surprised Liu Bei.
"Uh, why is that?" Liu Bei was puzzled, "We have spent so much effort along the way, aren't we just going to bribe Zhang Rang?" ”
"That's good, but you can't go." Liu Feng said, "If you go to Zhang Rang, those ministers of the DPRK and China will be dissatisfied with you, and the loss will be greater, you won't be surprised, right?" And once you go, it's a stain for the rest of your life, and you can't wash it away, so you can't go in person. ”
"What then?" Liu Feng panicked.
"Of course, I did it for Xuande." Liu Feng said, "Anyway, I'm going to see Zhang Rang, so I'll take care of Xuande's affairs." Why, Xuande can't trust me, I'm afraid that I will embezzle your money, right? Liu Feng joked.
"Don't dare, don't dare, how can you have such an idea, but the city lord doesn't care about the opinion of the minister of the court?" Liu Bei shook his head again and again, and continued to ask.
"I'm a stranger, that's my disadvantage, but it's also my strength, so I don't care about the attitude of those people in the court." Liu Feng said, "Even if I don't get anything, I still have my own territory, which is allowed by the gods, and no one can take it." ”
"In this case, then please leave it to the city lord." Liu Bei said.
Zuo Feng's car came on time, and Liu Feng had already prepared the box containing gold, the box was even bigger, a box of 100,000 gold, a full 30 boxes, and several cars. 20 boxes are Liu Bei's, and 10 boxes are his own.
Luoyang City has a curfew, after dark, players who can't afford to live can only go out of the city, if they wander the streets, caught by the soldiers patrolling the streets, they will go to jail.
Now there is no Cao Cao's five-color stick, of course, no one dares to stop the car representing Zhang Rang's mansion, and it will soon arrive at the place.
The post house is not far from the palace, and Zhang Rang's mansion is closer to the palace, even at night, Liu Feng can feel the huge scale.
After entering the house, I walked for a while, and finally arrived at the hall where I met Zhang Rang. Liu Feng went in and found that Zuo Feng was inside, and there was a person about fifty or sixty years old, with a white face and no beard, who thought it was Zhang Rang.
"Xiaguan Liu Feng, I have seen Zhang Houye and Zuo's father-in-law." Liu Feng said.
"Excuse me!" Zhang Rang's voice sounded, and it sounded quite good.
"Why is it just you, Liu Xuande, could it be that he is playing with our family?" Zuo Feng saw that Liu Feng was the only one, and said dissatisfied.
"Forgive me, it's not that Xuande doesn't want to come, but that he can't come." Liu Feng explained, "Presumably Marquis Zhang also knows our purpose, Liu Xuande is already meritorious, and it is normal for the court to reward him as usual, but if the news of Liu Xuande's visit to Zhang Houye spreads, wouldn't it cause controversy in the imperial court, slandering Hou Ye for accepting Liu Xuande's money, which is not good for Hou Ye's reputation, so I will pay tribute to Hou Ye on behalf of Liu Xuande." ”
Zuo Feng stopped talking for a while, but Zhang Rang was not so easy to fool, and only listened to him say: "Then Liu Bei is unwilling to have a relationship with Ben Hou so as not to tarnish his reputation, and he said it so high-sounding." ”
In a word, pointing to the core, Liu Feng broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it.
This NPC is too intelligent! (To be continued.) )
