Chapter 15 Ancient and modern fame and fortune are all in Luoyang City
Luoyang, between Lihe and Luo, is in the middle of the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Pishan according to its north, Yique Ping its south, the tiger prison sits in the east, Hangu barrier its west, Luoshui runs through it, the mountains surround its periphery, known as "the eight passes of the capital, the mountains and rivers arch Dai", since the opening of the world, since the three emperors and five emperors, to the group of heroes to compete for the place of contention, from the Xia, Shang, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei, until today's Great Sui, a total of eight dynasties built here. ć
When today's son Yang Guang ascended the throne, he had the intention of moving the capital, and issued an edict saying: "Luoyi has been the capital since ancient times, within Wangji, where heaven and earth meet, and where yin and yang are harmonious." Control with three rivers, solid with four plugs of water and land, tribute and so on...... Today, Tokyo can be built in Iro. Immediately ordered Shangshu Yang Su, Nayan Yang Da, will be the general Yu Wenkai, 2 million per month to make Ding Nan, it took nearly a year, in the east of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Wangcheng, west of the ancient city of the Han and Wei dynasties, the new Luoyang City.
The new city is more than the river in the east, crosses the Luo River in the south, borders the Jianhe River in the west, and is surrounded by the mountain in the north, and the city is 19 miles and 320 steps in the city, which is magnificent and magnificent.
At dusk on this day, Chen Yi and his entourage finally arrived in Luoyang, looking at the famous capital of the ages that stood on the earth like a giant beast in the afterglow of the sunset, and he knew that this would be his first life stage after coming to this world.
He whispered a song that he had read in his previous life to Yonghuai Luoyang: "On the Tianjin Bridge, looking from afar by the railing, the spirit of the king of Chungling is withered." The trees are green, the water is vast, and the PTZ is not in sight. The ages have turned their heads to perdition. work, and not long after. The name is not long long. ā
When he reached the end of the last few sentences, he thought that since ancient times, life is easy to grow old, and it is difficult to achieve fame for a long time, and the prince will inevitably turn into a piece of loess after the end of his life, and his determination to embark on the path of cultivation is even stronger.
Now it is a peaceful year, although the city gate of Luoyang is guarded by guards, but it is forbidden to passers-by, at most some suspicious or vicious people are slightly interrogated. An Muhua is the head snake of Luoyang, it seems that he has a bit of face, with him leading the way in front, the guards did not leave any trouble for the two cars, and let them go without asking.
After entering the city, the two sides should part ways, Chen Yi said goodbye to each other after An Muhua got out of the car, and An Muhua repeatedly told Chen Yi to come to the door as soon as possible to discuss the issue of forging weapons with his daughter.
Chen Yi was a little puzzled by An Muhua's hospitality, but he still seriously agreed, saying that he would come to visit as soon as he settled down.
After the two made an agreement, they parted. Chen Xing drove the mule cart slowly along the road, while Chen Yi and Chen Xi looked out from the small windows on both sides of the canopy.
Luoyang City is divided into square squares by streets that intersect vertically with each other. These streets connecting the Sifang City Gate are fifty or sixty steps wide and narrow, among which the main street that runs through the north and south from the south city gate to the main gate of the imperial city is more than 100 steps wide and seven or eight miles long. There are also narrow streets connecting the cities. The market has walls and doors on all sides, and there are also cross-shaped streets inside. The large and small, criss-crossed streets are organized in an orderly manner, forming a network of people and goods throughout the city.
Chen Yi and others traveled all the way and saw that all the streets were lined with shops on both sides, and the streets were full of traffic and endless streams. Among the pedestrians coming and going, there are many people of different races in Middle-earth who look and dress like An Muhua, showing the unique characteristics of Luoyang as an international metropolis.
Chen Xing, who was driving, inquired all the way, and after turning a few streets and alleys, he arrived at the gate of a market called "Changyi Fang". After driving into the market, I stopped in front of a small courtyard on the street.
Chen Xi couldn't wait, jumped out of the car and rushed to the door, raised his small fist and slammed the door, and called out repeatedly: "Daddy, mother, come and open the door!"
After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the door, and then as soon as the courtyard door opened, Chen Xi's mother Zhang walked out with a look of surprise, and held her son who had been absent for several months in her arms, and let him go for a long time.
After Chen Yi stepped forward to greet and Zhang's salute, everyone entered the courtyard together.
This courtyard is two entrances and backs, and it seems that there is only one Zhang family in the house, and it looks a little deserted when it is empty.
After taking a seat in the main hall, Chen Yi frowned and said, "Auntie, when I wrote last time, I already said that I would let you add two servants and maids, it seems that you didn't do it."
Zhang shook his head and said, "Your uncle and I have right hands and feet, what do you want." I have nothing to do on weekdays to clean up this yard by myself, just to save myself from being bored and bored. ā
For the elders who were used to living a simple life, Chen Yi could only smile helplessly, and asked about Chen Bao's situation.
Zhang said with a happy face: "The wine made by your method is really popular in Luoyang, and every time a new wine comes out of the cellar, it is bought clean by several famous restaurants in less than a day and a half." According to your uncle, many restaurant owners have long urged him to expand production, but he kept in mind your advice and always maintained the current output, and did not sell much in a jar. ā
Chen Yi nodded and said, "That's right." That wine is a very profitable thing, and naturally it is easy to attract the covetousness of others. Until we don't have enough strength to keep this financial resource, we should not make too much noise. ā
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door in front of me. Zhang said to Chen Xi: "Xizi go open the door, it should be your father who is back." ā
Chen Xi happily ran out of the door, and after a while, he was turned back by his father Chen Bao.
That night, Zhang's set out a table for everyone that was not sumptuous but full of family atmosphere, and including Chen Xing, the family did not distinguish between the young and the old, the noble and the low, and sat around, talking and laughing while eating.
During the banquet, Chen Bao also talked about many restaurant owners urging him to expand production, Chen Yi pondered and said: "The little nephew is going to meet someone in a few days, and he will solve this problem by the way." If things go well, you'll be busy soon, uncle. ā
After the banquet, Zhang went to clean up the cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks, Chen Xing went to settle the luggage and clean up the room, and Chen Xi went to the courtyard to move his fists, leaving only Chen Yi and Chen Bao in the room.
Chen Bao asked Chen Yi to wait for a while, then turned around and went to the inner room, and then walked out with a thick book.
"Uncle, what are you ......" Chen Yi asked a little puzzled as he watched Chen Bao put the book on the table and pushed it in front of him.
Chen Baozheng said: "Xiaoyi, this is the detailed account of my liquor and wine sales in Luoyang in the past five months, every expenditure and income is clearly recorded, you can check the accounts." ā
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Uncle, you should know what the little nephew came to Luoyang for this time." It won't be long before the little nephew is a monk, so how can he still use these things outside his body. The reason why I taught my uncle this recipe was because I wanted to make life better for my relatives around me. ā
Chen Bao was stunned for a long time, and asked tentatively: "Uncle knows that you are very assertive at a young age, but do you want to think about this matter of becoming a monk again?" With Xiaoyi's talent and intelligence, revitalize our Chen family, and the glorious lintel is just around the corner. ā
Chen Yi suddenly smiled and said: "I said that my uncle suddenly thought of asking me to check the accounts, it must be that the second brother asked you to be a lobbyist to persuade me to change my mind." I've made up my mind on this matter, so don't talk about it, uncle. I would like to ask my uncle to send a letter to my second brother tomorrow, saying that I have arrived in Luoyang to see when it is convenient for him to arrange for me to visit the Zen master Huijing. If the little nephew is really unbearable and has no relationship with the Pure Land Temple, it is not too late to say anything about revitalizing the family at that time. ā
