Chapter 181: Finding out the news
In Chang'an City, the four gates are closed, but there are still people coming and going, and most of the people do not have too worried looks on their faces, as if the city gates are closed now, and tens of thousands of troops have no effect on the camp outside.
Walking on the wide Suzaku Street, which is the central axis of the entire Chang'an, the street running through the north and south is very spacious, to what extent?
One hundred and fifty meters, a full one hundred and fifty meters of the main road, do you dare to believe?
At a ratio of about two or three meters to a modern car, this Suzaku Avenue alone is enough for fifty or sixty cars to walk side by side.
Of course, as the main road of Chang'an City, this Suzaku Street is not only a sidewalk, in fact, there is a royal road in the middle.
What is the Imperial Road?
It is a road that can only be walked when the emperor travels, even if it is a prince or a prince or something, if there is no imperial order from the emperor, it is not allowed to go up, otherwise it is a big crime.
This imperial road is built in the middle of Suzaku Street, with a width of 9981 meters, representing the number of nine extremes, the supreme emperor can make nearly 100 people walk side by side, which can reflect the supremacy of the emperor.
Therefore, although the entire Suzaku Street is about 150 meters wide, it is more than 70 meters that can be used by the real people, and then it is divided into two sides, and one side is less than 40 meters, and if you look at it again, it is not so exaggerated.
In the past, Li Chengming had read some information about the Tang Dynasty, and always said how Suzaku Street was, and the pedestrians on it were all Hu people and Hu merchants, and there was a kind of atmosphere of all countries coming to court.
It's a pity that Li Chengming walked on the street, and Hu people and Hu merchants did see some, but there were really not many, and it was very unusual to occasionally see a few Hu merchants wrapped in hair cloths, beards, and brown robes.
Of course, maybe this was only in the early Tang Dynasty, after all, the war in the Tang Dynasty had not really ended at this time, and the foreign races such as Tuguhun, Tubo, Xue Yantuo, etc., only when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, maybe there would be that kind of prosperous Tang Dynasty.
After wandering around the streets for a while, Li Chengming found that in addition to ordinary people, he had also seen Jin Wuwei patrolling several times along the way, and the number of people in each team was more than fifteen, with spears and crossbows on their hips, patrolling around.
It can be seen from the outfits and looks of these Jin Wuwei that although it seems that there is nothing unusual in Chang'an City, it is just a loose appearance and a tight appearance.
However, fortunately, although these Jin Wuwei have been patrolling the streets, they are not as harassing the people as they see in the movies, but they make Li Chengming look at it and nod secretly.
After walking for a while, looking at the sky and it was still early, Li Chengming groaned for a while, and then walked towards a wine shop next to him.
"Haha, okay, let's do it again!"
"Well danced, reward!"
As soon as I left the restaurant, I heard a loud cheer from inside, and the guests in the restaurant seemed to be very excited, shouting one by one.
When I got closer, I saw a small platform in the middle of the restaurant, on which was a blond orchid wearing a pink veil and a crop top, and her waist was twisting her waist and swaying with the silk music next to her.
"Guest officer, you are here, please come in and take a seat!" A shopkeeper who was guarding the door saw Li Chengming's changing figure walk in, interrogated him with his eyes, and then greeted him with a slight smile.
Li Chengming glanced at the tables sitting on the central platform downstairs, frowned slightly, and casually handed over a few Kaiyuan Tongbao from his arms, and then asked, "Is there a cleaner table?" ”
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to approach the copper coin in Li Chengming's hand, shook it slightly, and a touch of joy flashed on his face, and he said again and again, "Yes, yes, on the second floor, please come with the little one." ”
Although Li Chengming doesn't give much money to Xiaoxiao, but this kind of reward is given at the beginning, from the perspective of the shopkeeper, it is all the style of the rich young master, put away the copper money in his hand, and then politely invited Li Chengming to walk up to the second floor.
Walking up to the second floor with the shopkeeper, Li Chengming saw that the seats around the railing above were generally full, but there were only some people sitting around.
Obviously, the tables below and above the balustrades that can be looked down are specially designed for these people who watch the orchids dance, and if there were no orchids, I am afraid that the business of this liquor store would be much worse.
Of course, this can also show that the shopkeeper of the wine store is a person who knows how to run a business.
Li Chengming is not interested in these dancing or something, although the dancing orchid is in good shape, but for him who has already seen various different anchors, the attraction is more than a little worse.
Ahem, what seems to be exposed?!
Following the shopkeeper, Li Chengming came to a table by the window and sat down, and then took out a string of Baiwen copper coins that had been stringed long ago from his arms and threw it to the shopkeeper, asking him to send all the good tea and good dishes.
After taking the money, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he hurriedly ran downstairs to Zhang Luo.
Sitting by the window, listening to the sound of silk and bamboo coming from downstairs, Li Chengming didn't care, but looked faintly at the golden roof of the palace in the distance.
Li Chengming understands very well that the purpose of his coming here this time is not to have fun, nor to remember this ancient capital that has disappeared in history, but to find trouble with Li Er.
However, it was still too early to hide his secrets, so he planned to spend the afternoon in this wine shop to see if he could find out any news, and then enter the palace in the evening.
The wine and food came up quickly, because Li Chengming gave Baiwen copper coins, so the wine and food were extremely rich, with fish and meat, wine and vegetables, and the table was full.
At this time, I have to say that the purchasing power of copper coins in the early Tang Dynasty was still very strong, and one penny could buy five buns, one catty of eggs, and five pennies could buy about twelve catties of rice.
Li Chengming can be said to be familiar with this kind of thing, when he traveled to another time and space in the Han Dynasty, he often went to wine shops and inns to inquire about the news, while slowly eating the dishes on the table, while listening to the conversation of the guests in the wine shop around him.
However, after listening to it for a while, I heard some trivial things, such as which official took a concubine yesterday, who the young master of which family fought with, and which young lady was so charming and moving......
Li Chengming also knew that it was not easy to find out the news, so he continued to sit there and eat unhurriedly.
"Have you heard, it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to entertain the soldiers of Sanzhou who came to King Qin to quell the rebellion in the palace today!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came to his ears......
