The thousand-year-old imperial capital, the holy city of China, the source of civilization, and the middle of the world;

The starting point of the Silk Road, the center of the canal, the capital of peony, the city of mountains and rivers;

Three generations of creation, the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Han and Tang dynasties, and the Song family.

Luoyang, this historical city, used to be known or aliased: Luoyi, Luoshi, Chengzhou, Wangcheng, Luoyang, Dongdu, Tokyo, Shendu, Luojing, Jingluo, Luodu, Luozhong, Songjing, Zhongjing, Xijing. Luoyang City, according to the north of the mountain, south of Songyue, east according to the tiger prison, west of the Han Valley, surrounded by mountains, Xiongguan stands in a forest, so it has the "eight passes of the capital", "the mountains and rivers arch Dai, the situation is the first in the world"; and it is located in the "middle of the world", the east presses the Jianghuai, the west is close to Guanlong, the north is through Youyan, the south is Xiangjing, and it is called "the eight directions", "the hinterland of Kyushu", and "the thoroughfare of ten provinces".

There is also a legend that Luoyang is the place where the dragon veins of the Chinese land gather, so all dynasties have been the place where the princes and the emperors of the Central Plains must fight, and it has become the most important political, economic and cultural center in history.

The most famous description of Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is Ban Gu's "Kyoto Fu", which reads: "Guanghanjing is in Zhuxia, and it is extremely important in all directions. So in the imperial city, the palace is bright, and the court is beautiful. Extravagance is insurmountable, thrift cannot be extravagant. Outside, because the field is used as a garden, and the spring is filled into a swamp. Apple algae to dive fish, abundant grass to Yu beasts. According to the "Luoyang County Chronicle", "the city is seven miles from east to west, and more than ten miles from north to south."

According to the archaeological excavation of later generations, the Luoyang Wangcheng of the Eastern Han Dynasty is more than 4,200 meters long from north to south, more than 3,800 meters wide from east to west, the city wall is surrounded by moat Yang Canal, the city is surrounded by 12 m-n, according to the order of southeast and northwest, respectively, it is three m-n of Dongyuan, from north to south: upper east m-n, middle m-n, consumption of m-n; Nanyuan four m-n, from east to west in order: Kaiyang m-n, Pingcheng m-n, Xiaoyuan m-n, Tianjin m-n; Xiyuan three m-n, from south to north in order: Guangyang m-n, Yongm-n, Upper west m-n, north wall two m-n, from west to east in order: summer m-n (straight to the north palace, out of the city m-n is the north mountain, valley m-n. In the imperial city, Miyagi is located in the north of the city, the north of the palace is the Hong Lin Garden, the west has Kim Yong Shing, Luoyang Lei, Jin Shi, and the south is the official office. Zhang Jian said: "Pingcheng M-N, Zhengyang's M-N, and the palace, the suburbs worship the law from the source, and the most venerable M-N." ”

Comrades, how can we compare the scale of the city today with that of ancient times? Moreover, this Luoyang City refers to the royal city, that is, the central area of Luoyang. In fact, there are still poor people living outside the city walls, just like there is the Forbidden City in Beijing today. How big is the Forbidden City? It is 961 meters long from north to south and 753 meters wide from east to west. Luoyang City in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was the largest city in the world, with a population of more than one million, and was a veritable center of world politics and culture.

From a distance, looking at the towering Hanyong M-N in front of you, there are three roads connected by Yangqu Bridge below, and there is no side of the city wall on the left and right. Except for Zhao Xing, who once lived in a metropolis with a population of more than 10 million, he was not shocked, and the others widened their eyes, fully expressing the shock they were receiving at the moment.

"Brother Xing, I think Luoyang City is more than four times bigger than Jinyang City" Xu Wanlin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with some difficulty.

"Well, that's it, in the future, brother will build you a bigger city!" Zhao Xing, who looked indifferent, said casually.

"If you don't talk big for a day, you won't have sores at the corners of your mouth!" Zhao Yu was obviously angry at Zhao Xing's appearance of coaxing and coaxing more than his own brother, and choked Zhao Xing.

"Little brat, my brother is too lazy to bother with you, you will see the land in the future!" Zhao Xing directly ignored Zhao Yu's ridicule, "Let's go, follow my brother to Luoyang City to make money!"

Liu Jili, who was following behind Zhao Xing, looked at the half-year-old children in front of him, and smiled bitterly in his heart. "I think I, Liu Jili, can be regarded as a person who has traveled south and north and has a broad vision, but now I have to follow a young man who is not as weak as a weak crown to make a living, and I don't know if I am lucky or crazy. ”

In the next few days, Liu Jili, who entered Luoyang City, thought that he was indeed crazy. Seeing that a large cart of top Changhe Daqu was sent by Zhao Xing into the mansions of Zhang Rang, He Jin, Fan Ling, Cui Lie and other bigwigs in the DPRK and China without blinking, Liu Jili's heart felt like blood was dripping.

It is the first time that Liu Jili has given such a generous gift, the key is where the drunken immortal building is opened, and now there is not even a shadow, Zhao Xing gave away half of the wine he brought with him at once, isn't this a typical digging of his own corner? Liu Jili, who couldn't hold back, finally entered Zhao Xing's room on the fourth day after entering the city, and said all the sleepiness in his heart like "pouring beans from a bamboo tube".

"Guochang, since this trip is to open a restaurant, should we distinguish between priorities and priorities, settle the affairs of the restaurant first, and then wander around?" Liu Jili, who couldn't understand Zhao Xing's temper, spoke with a little subtlety and politeness.

"Brother Jili, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, Guochang can stand it. Zhao Xing said with a smile, "Are you worried about the landing of the Drunken Immortal Tower?"

"Exactly! We have been in Luoyang City for three days, and we have stayed in this excellent hotel (according to historical research, Luoyang City is the first hotel in the world to appear, and in the future, there will be a lot of Luoyang No. 1 related to the storyline, readers can pay attention to the hundred and tenth people, every day people eat horses and chew hua is very expensive, and I don't see you looking for a place to stay, the best soju is given away everywhere, after the restaurant opens in the future, what will we sell to customers?" Liu Jili was not polite to Zhao Xing, and asked Zhao Xinglai very seriously.

"Brother Jili don't have to worry too much, Guochang has its own clever plan, guaranteeing that the restaurant will be open within ten days, and when it opens, it will be full of friends, and Luoyang will be shaken!" Zhao Xing patted Xiong and promised. Liu Jili wanted to continue asking, but Zhao Xing looked like a god stick and kept silent and didn't say more.

In the next few days, in addition to playing around Luoyang City, Zhao Xing also took a few NV children to the White Horse Temple for sightseeing, and he didn't notice the fire in Liu Jili's eyes.

It wasn't until the past ten days that Zhao Xing called Liu Jili to the room and handed over a piece of paper, which said several restaurants in three prosperous places in Luoyang City, such as "Buguangli", "Jinshi" and "Mingtang".

Buguangli is located in the northeast of Luoyang City, between the Upper East M-N and the Middle East M-N, close to the North Palace and the South Palace; the Golden Market is located between the "Upper West M-N" and "Yong M-N" in the west of Luoyang City; the Mingtang is located outside the palace city, and there are Lingtai and Piyong nearby, and the most important thing is that there is Taixue! Luoyang Taixue from the Western Han Dynasty to the Northern Dynasties, after hundreds of years, it is the first national central university standing in the east of the world, which has had a far-reaching impact on later generations, and can be called a miracle in the history of Chinese education. The scale of Luoyang Taixue in the Eastern Han Dynasty was huge, and the number of people reached 30,000 at its peak. The places chosen by Zhao Xing are all prime locations in Luoyang.

"Brother Jili, please discuss with the restaurant written on the paper from tomorrow to see if there is a restaurant willing to transfer the store, the price is not a problem, it should be up to you!" Zhao Xing said to Liu Jili with a smile.

"If there are more than two stores transferred, how to choose?" Liu Jili saw that Zhao Xing finally had a bit of a positive shape, so he didn't bother with him and entered the state directly.

"The more the merrier!"

"We only open one restaurant, why do we buy so many shops?" asked Liu Jili puzzled.

"Luoyang is a majestic city in the world, with a population of one million, and a drunken immortal building can meet the needs of dignitaries, scholars, students, and peddlers!

On the second day, Liu Jili excitedly took Li Jinsi to "negotiate the acquisition business", but Zhao Xing changed into ordinary clothes, and only took Xu Wanlin and Li Tiezhu, who were dressed as scholars, to wander around Luoyang City, and when they saw the restaurant, they went in to sit for a while to collect public opinion.

In a famous restaurant in Luoyang City, a well-dressed warrior is soaring. A few days ago, we had the honor to go to the Taiwei Mansion to eat wine, and the wine we drank was like clouds to dust and mud compared to what you sold in your store! Hurry up and bring out the best wine, otherwise you will look good!"

The owner of the restaurant with a crying and mournful face accompanied him, and said, "The guest officer is angry, the best soju in my store is already like this, but I don't know what the name of the wine you drink, I will call someone to go and sell the wine and come back......"

"Listening to Taiwei talk, this wine is called Changhe Daqu, hurry up and drink it with us, but this bird wine is so drunk that a bird can fade out of the mouth......" Seeing this scene, Zhao Xing shook his fan with a smile and left.

I entered a restaurant again, and a similar scene continued to be staged, and the person who was racing changed into a scribe, and what he said was more literal, but it also meant that the taste of wine was too light, and drinking was like drinking water, and there was no way to compare it with the Changhe Daqu that I drank in Situ's mansion a few days ago, and my aunt could bear it, and I couldn't bear it either!

If it was like a few, Zhao Xing was not interested when he heard it, and pulled Xu Wanlin and Li Tiezhu, who were still full of incredulity, back to the hotel where they stayed.

"Brother Xing, is our home-brewed wine really so good? I thought you were so dedicated to improving the winemaking recipe in order to marry my sister. Xu Wanlin said heartlessly.

"Hmm, I'm really not here to marry your sister...... Zhao Xing covered his nose and muttered in his mouth, "Wanlin, you see that you have been around Luoyang City for more than ten days, and you should have played all the places, should you go back to accompany your sister?"

"What are you doing?!" Xu Wanlin immediately raised her alert level, her face full of alertness, "Do you want to drive me back to the party?" Xu Wanlin's face was already sunny and cloudy, maybe the next moment it would be pouring rain.

"No...... No, I'm not worried that there will be Wanting left at home, it's too lonely and lonely to be alone, you sisters are of the same heart, two people can get better together, and I still have a long time before I can return to the party. Zhao Xing hurriedly took rescue measures.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you have in mind! If I leave, you'll be able to attack Zhao Yu! You say, you say, I'm not as good as Zhao Yu! I don't pick up M-N, I want to touch that little tiger!" Xu Wanlin's thunderous words began to bubble out again.

"Ga, I'm going to attack Zhao Yu?" Zhao Xing was directly said by Xu Wanlin's words, his eyes rolled 1u-n, what are you kidding, just Zhao Yu's kind of tyrannosaurus, brother, I still hide far away, and ask for more blessings.

When the brother-in-law and sister-in-law were ambiguous and bored in the room, they heard Liu Jili's m-n sound outside the m-n. "Guochang is available?"

"Brother Jili, please come in!" Zhao Xing, who could finally get rid of his sister-in-law's complaining eyes, shouted loudly outside the m-n.

Entering the house, Liu Jili and Zhao Xing and Xu Wanlin seemed to have just given birth to a little story that had to be said, and they didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Brother Jili, how is the acquisition of the restaurant going?" Zhao Xing asked generously.

"Oh, the method that Guochang taught me is a good one, let's exchange the land deed for the restaurant, at the beginning, those restaurants were a little hesitant, but as soon as they heard that it was a field near Wohu Village in Changzi County, those restaurants immediately agreed!" Liu Jili said excitedly.

"How many restaurants have you acquired now?" Zhao Xing asked

"One in Buguangli, two in the gold market, and two near Taixue!"

"It's enough, you gather the owners of several restaurants here tomorrow, let's sum up the opening first!" Zhao Xing commanded.

"Jili understands!"
