Chapter Seventy-Two: The Tavern Hears
Anyi, legend has it that Xia Qi took over the throne and built the capital here, and later moved the capital repeatedly, until the last emperor moved the capital back to Anyi, but it was difficult to escape the end of destruction. It's just that the Anyi City of the Xia Dynasty has been too long and there are no ruins left. The current Anyi City is also one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period in the past, the capital of the early Wei State, and later the Wei State moved its capital to Daliang, that is, Chen Liu, and Anyi was gradually abandoned.
Although the current Anyi Castle has gone through hundreds of years, it still retains the buildings that were used as the capital of the Wei State in the early Warring States period, such as the wall of Anyi Castle, which has a circumference of about 31 li (about 15.5 kilometers) and was built in the early Warring States period.
There are middle city and small city in the city, the small city is a city, the circumference is about six miles, it is the site of the palace of the king of Wei in the past, this place has been abandoned since the relocation of the capital of Wei due to various reasons. As the seat of Hedong County, Anyi City has another inner city in the big city as a place of governance, which is the middle city.
Now the middle city where the Anyi governance office is located was built in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, the total circumference of the city wall is about thirteen miles, and there are still the Wei family of the Hedong Wang clan living in addition to the governance office. Anyi Weijia was first established in the Western Han Dynasty when Emperor Jingdi was the prime minister, Jianling Hou Weijuan, generations lived in the Great Tomb of the Dynasty, his descendant Sun Weiwei, Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because he was proficient in Confucianism called him from the generation to Hedong Anyi, and died in Anyi, ordered his descendants to take this place as their home, living in Anyi. Become a wealthy family in Hedong and even the entire Han Dynasty. Regardless of prestige or status, it is also very important among the scholars.
Zhang Xiu led Hu Che'er to walk on the stone road in the inner city of Anyi, and saw the shops and vendors in the city, telling about the prosperity of Anyi City. Zhang Xiu said to Hu Che'er: "Hu Che'er, although this Anyi City is not as prosperous as the former capital Chang'an, as a county governor, it is also the former capital of the Wei State in the past, and Anyi City also has its own charm in it. ”
Hu Che'er nodded as if he didn't understand, he was a Hu person, and he had never read a book, so he naturally didn't know what appreciation was. Zhang Xiu as a person who crossed, saw a lot of high-rise buildings, and spent most of his time in Chang'an after crossing over, and was familiar with the prosperity of the old capital.
Zhang Xiu admired the ancient Chinese architecture before the crossing, although the architecture of the Han Dynasty was not as brilliant as the Tang and Song dynasties, but it has been slightly rudimentary, some small towns may not have a good environment, but such as Chang'an, Luoyang, these national cities or a county like Anyi, there are still some things to see.
Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er walked the entire inner city of Anyi, and after seeing the yamen and the Wei family's private residence, they led Hu Che'er to a tavern, ordered a few side dishes and ordered a pot of hot wine to sit down to eat and drink.
There are not a few people in the tavern, although Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er are face-to-face, they only find a corner to sit down and drink, and they don't pay attention to others, so the other people in the tavern don't care about the two of them.
Zhang Xiu came to these taverns and wanted to hear any special news. Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Xiu heard a young man dressed as a writer and his companion say: "I heard that next month, Wei Ning, the son of the Wei family, will marry the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong. and Wei Zhongdao should be a pair of beautiful people made in heaven. (Wei Zhongdao, Zhongdao should be the word, Wei Ning is his name; In addition, Cai mm needs to be a few years older because the plot needs to be aged, so it's no wonder. )
The young scribe next to him said, "I really envy Brother Zhongdao for being able to marry such a talented woman. ”
It's just that as soon as the scribe finished speaking, the person next to him said: "But Brother Zhongdao has been weak since he was a child, and he is only afraid of ......" Before he finished speaking, the scribe who had just begun to speak said: "Brother Zhongdao Jiren has his own natural appearance, so it's better to think about what to send as a congratulatory gift after March." ”
A few young scribes here were talking about what kind of congratulatory gifts they would give, and Zhang Xiu heard four merchants at another table talking, only to hear one of them say: "The Yellow Turbans in Bingzhou have risen again, and the Hu people have entered the Kouxi River, I am afraid that they will not be able to go to the north to do business during this time." ”
Another merchant sighed: "It's normal for there to be war in the north. But I am afraid that Hedong will not be able to come again. ”
The businessman just now also sighed: "That's true, when Dong Zhuo was appointed as the Taishou of Hedong, we didn't dare to come to Hedong to do business, and then Dong Zhuo was sent to Sanfu by the imperial court, I can only come to Hedong, Dong Zhuo's power in Hedong has been greatly reduced in the past two years, I still thought that Dong Zhuo was ready to give up Hedong, how do I know that I sent a henchman general to come, I am afraid that it is better to leave Hedong as soon as possible." ”
As soon as the businessman finished speaking, another businessman said: "The situation may not be worse than back then, Dong Zhuo did not come to Hedong, Dong Zhuo was the Taishou of Hedong back then, holding a large army, so he could naturally conquer and extort violently, but today Dong Zhuo will only send henchmen in the future, and this morning I saw that Niu Fu and Li Dao led the army has left Anyi, I am afraid that they have already gone to clear the Baibo Yellow Turban, and Anyi is afraid that it can be settled for a while." ”
After the merchant finished speaking, the last person who did not speak retorted: "Brother Tai's words are wrong, there is still a large army stationed outside the city of Anyi, and his army has not entered the city today, and Anyi is fine, but I am afraid that after his army enters the city, Anyi will be like being sacked by thieves." ”
After the man finished speaking, the other three merchants shouted at the same time, "Silence." The businessman, fearing that he had said the wrong thing, looked around for a moment, and now that no one was paying attention to them, began to speak again.
The merchant who had just said that Anyi could settle down for a while first said, "I don't think that's the case. The garrison army outside the city is Zhang Xiu's department, I have done business in Chang'an for a period of time, Zhang Xiu's department of soldiers and soldiers are strictly disciplined, and the soldiers will not bully the market every time they go to Chang'an, the younger brother has made transactions with them, and the money given is enough, so in my opinion, Zhang Xiu's department is indeed different from the rest of Dong Zhuo's department. ”
As soon as the businessman finished speaking, another businessman also said: "He is right, Zhang Xiu's department is indeed different from the rest of Dong Zhuo's department, and I also have a friend in Chang'an who told me about this. ”
The businessman who took the lead said, "Okay, don't discuss this matter again, and just look at it." If Zhang Xiu's department is like Dong Zhuo's other departments, we will leave Hedong immediately, and if the military discipline of his department is strict, we will naturally stay in Hedong and continue to do business. ”
The other three said in unison: "Brother is reasonable. ”
Here, Hu Che'er whispered to Zhang Xiu: "Young master, although Dong Gong's reputation is not good, the reputation of the young master is not very affected by Dong Gong. ”
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "Which is better and which is bad, the people know in their hearts, we can do our duty." ”
