Chapter Twenty-Four: The Capital City of Chang'an 3
The city covers an area of 100 miles, and there are four flying boat landing fields, and the flying boats that have not been seen in Lingnan for many years can be seen everywhere here, and they almost need to queue up to land.
The city is divided into four ring areas from the inside to the outside, the innermost layer is where the palace is located, covers an area of ten miles, all are gold-topped glazed tiles, the mixed yuan merit monument that represents the luck of the Tang Dynasty stands in the middle of the palace, the naked eye can see the power of merit from all directions; the second ring is divided into two halves, the east is the aristocratic area, the west is the office area, the palace is built around the palace, all are low-rise buildings below three floors, the aristocratic area brings together more than half of the Tang Dynasty's gate valve dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, and the office area lives more than half of the second-class officials; the third ring is the mixed commercial and residential area, most of the business is concentrated in this layer, some small and medium-sized nobles and native Chang'an people also live hereIf it were not for the restrictions of Chang'an Mansion, high-rise buildings of more than 100 meters would abound; the fourth ring is a residential area, and eighty percent of Chang'an's more than 10 million people live in the outer ring.
Even if it is the outermost ring, it is brightly lit at night, people come and go like a weave, and then go down at the flight height of the flying boat, it is the special airway for the flying car, enter the range of Chang'an, and the exclamation in the mouth of the thin monkey who likes the flying car the most has not stopped.
"Look, the latest 'Yuanchi' seven series is said to have improved the propulsion array, and the maximum speed can reach 400 miles per hour. ”
"Oh my gosh, what's that, I read that right! 'Spreading Cloud' Limited Edition!"
“......”
In the past, all kinds of flying cars that had only been seen in fairy shadows and pictorials were everywhere in the outermost layer of the so-called 'slums' of Chang'an, and even the price was no less than that of ordinary flying boats, and more than a dozen thin monkeys were seen in just a few minutes.
The flying boat slowly landed at the private landing ground located in the east of the Fourth Ring Road in Chang'an, and Wu De became a little nervous, and carefully instructed Chen Jiu and them: "The people who come and go here are either rich or expensive, stay and follow me, don't cause trouble." ”
Chen Jiu and the others had just arrived, and since this was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, they didn't want to provoke right and wrong, so they nodded busily when they heard the words.
Wu Decai drove out of the roller coaster from the back cabin, and Chen Jiu drove his "treasure horse", a group of eight people in two cars, and drove towards the exit under the guidance of the sign.
Since Baoju can only fly close to the ground, Wu Decai had no choice but to switch the flying car to ground mode.
Seeing the landing field, a flying car suddenly flew down from above, and a sharp stop landed less than ten meters in front of Wu Decai's flying car, which frightened Wu Decai to turn in a hurry and stopped after a few turns.
The flying car was blue all over, with beautiful lines, and the door was sprayed with a poisonous skeleton beast, and the shape was extremely flamboyant. The door opened, and two young men got out of the car, wearing shorts and shorts, and a pair of black jade glasses at night.
The long-haired one said, "Yo, isn't this Xiao Wuzi?"
Wu Decai saw that these two people turned pale, and they didn't dare to get out of the car and planned to bypass from the side, the two obviously didn't want to let him go easily, and their footsteps moved in front of the flying car, and they were wearing flying shoes.
"What's the matter, old friends haven't seen each other for a long time and let's talk before leaving. The short-haired young man said.
"That is, I heard that you just received a five-grade walking shortage?" said the long-haired man.
"Brother Zhengming, what is that? Is it an official position registered in the imperial court?" asked the short-haired man.
"Even if it is, if you run errands and do chores, it is also an official position. That was called Zhengming's joke.
"Alas, people are more popular than dead people, relying on a shameless sister can also find a tolerance, how easy it is to eat and wait for death, how easy it is to eat and wait for death, how can it be like you and me, as the inspector of the Dongzhou Inspection Department of the Ministry of Households, I have to work hard every day and be tired half to death. ”
"yes, by the way, what kind of products are we?"
"It seems to be four grades. ”
"Pity our dignified fourth-grade commissioner, or go alone, a five-grade walk, followed by seven or eight miscellaneous servants. ”
Wu Decai was so angry that his face was flushed, but he didn't dare to go down after all, these two people are also famous in the circle of Chang'an Gongzi, the long-haired one is called Changsun Zhengming, and the short-haired one is called Li Hexuan, all of which are characters he absolutely can't afford to provoke.
The ancestors of the eldest grandson family are one of the eight heroes of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and after ten thousand years of development and changes, there are still four left, which are the four famous gates, namely the eldest grandson family, the Li family, the Fang family and the Wei Chi family.
The four major gates are deeply rooted in Datang, and the descendants of the family are all over the Datang officialdom, based on all walks of life, and the Datang will tremble when they stomp their feet.
Although the eldest grandson Zhengming is not the leader of the younger generation of the eldest grandson family, he is the descendant of the main family, the lord of Yuguo, the eldest son Jingda is his own grandfather, his father is a high household secretary, and several uncles are also important members of any party in various places, which can be described as a noble.
Li Hexuan is a serious member of the royal family, and his ancestors have produced several princes, although they have gradually declined in recent centuries, they still occupy a place in the aristocratic area of the Second Ring Road.
The Wu family is also a big family of the Tang Dynasty, and the ancestors have had a queen, but thousands of years ago the family began to decline, and the descendants turned to business, and today the Wu family is the top ten super rich businessmen in the entire Tang Dynasty, with industries all over the five continents, but unfortunately the official road has not been smooth, the whole family has not produced a second-class member for hundreds of years, and the head of the family is just an earl, in Chang'an, where the marquis is full of land, and there are many earls like dogs, it is naturally not seen by the gate valve family.
Wu Decai's sister Wu Zhiru was originally a famous beauty in the capital, and was once thought to be able to return to the aristocratic stage through marriage, but she didn't expect that just a year ago, she put down her body and took the initiative to "force marriage" Zhang Junhe, and even did not hesitate to make a side room, shocking the entire Chang'an.
It is said that Zhang Junhe can also be regarded as a celebrity around the prince, he is young and powerful, and his political achievements are outstanding, but in essence, he is a grassroots, from an ordinary background, his ancestors have no titles for three generations, and he has just earned a viscount, and he is not hereditary, where can he enter the eyes of the martial arts.
It is said that after Wu Tonglai, the head of the martial arts family, learned the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
That Li Hexuan was one of Wu Zhiru's suitors, although his branch gradually declined, but it is the orthodoxy of the royal family, the status is respected, if you get the wealth support of the rich warrior country, there is no day when you will be crowned king again;
Although it is the martial arts family that is ashamed, it is Li Hexuan who is the one who is angry, not only for Zhang Junhe, but also for the martial family, so when he saw Wu Decai today, he had the intention of humiliating him.
Wu Decai's personality is already cowardly, and seeing these two people is like a mouse seeing a cat, he only prays that these two people leave quickly, and he doesn't even dare to get out of the car.
He is timid, but that doesn't mean that others don't dare to speak.
Chen Jiu had already seen that these two people were not pleasing to the eye, and inexplicably suddenly forced him to stop, causing him to turn urgently, Xiao Thirteen couldn't react and hit his head on the back of the chair, and immediately became popular.
Thirteen was Chen Jiu's rebellion, and the already suppressed anger finally erupted with the increasingly ugly words of these two people.
"I said, good dogs don't get in the way, what nonsense roll aside and say. ”
