Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 136
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Ping left Luoyang with Liu Honglei, Tie Ping, and Zhao Hao, and headed for Chang'an. Fang Zhixian, Liu Tie, Gongshujia, Mobei, and all the farmers in Wangjiazhuang came to see him off. The scene was very lively.

In particular, all the farmers knelt on one knee, clasped their fists with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the young master for a smooth trip to Chang'an, and congratulations for the young master's title on the gold list."

Hundreds of people said in unison, the sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, naturally there was a lot of excitement at the scene.

It is already summer at this time, and the cicadas on both sides of the official road resound throughout the world, coupled with other insects and birds, it is a unique natural sound, which adds a lot of color to the boring journey.

Midsummer is naturally hard work, but fortunately there is plenty of time, driving hundreds of miles every day, getting up late and resting early, slowly heading towards Chang'an, but within ten days, he arrived at Chang'an, the head of the four ancient capitals.

The current Chang'an is not the same city as Chang'an in the Western Han Dynasty, but during the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty developed Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty. Next to the city, a new capital city was ordered to be built and planned by Yu Wenkai, named Daxing City.

After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Tang Gaozu still used Daxing City as the capital, but changed the name to Chang'an.Since then, it has been further built and improved.During the reigns of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, palaces such as Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace were successively built.

Moreover, the current Chang'an area is very large, about ten times larger than the ancient city of Xi'an in later generations, and about twice that of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.It is about [-]% larger than Beijing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the near future, Chang'an will become the center of the world, synonymous with the city of gold!
There are twelve city gates in Chang'an City, Mingde Gate in the middle of the south, Qixia Gate and Anhua Gate in the east and west; Chunming Gate in the middle of the east, Yanxing Gate and Tonghua Gate in the north and south; Jinguang Gate in the center of the west. , the north and south are Yanping Gate and Kaiyuan Gate respectively; the middle and east sections of the north coincide with the north wall of Miyagi and the south wall of Daming Palace respectively, the middle section of the west is Jingyao Gate, and the east and west are respectively Fanglin Gate and Gwanghwa Gate.

Wang Ping'an and others came from the east, so they naturally had to go through the east gate, so they chose Yanxing Gate.

Now Wang Ping'an finally saw the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. He saw that the avenues were flat, with countless horses and carriages, and there were so many merchants speaking accents from various places that they could not be counted.In particular, Hu people can be seen everywhere, Turkic people, Tibetan people, Korean people, etc., there are businessmen, there are also envoys from various parties, and some of them come here to study.

Near Chang'an, he saw three or four large caravans with more than 500 people, and even saw one of the super large caravans with more than [-] people. The commercial prosperity is so prosperous, if he didn't see it with his own eyes Of course, he couldn't believe it. He finally knew why Chang'an could become the center of the world, the city of gold.

"As expected of Chang'an, there are so many people!" Zhao Hao exclaimed.

"That's right, it's more than a hundred times more prosperous than Luoyang." Tie Ping helped out.

Wang Pingan rolled his eyes at him and thought, "What a fuss."

But Liu Honglei said: "You two are rare and strange, don't lose Ping An's face, look how calm Ping An is."

This can't be blamed on Tie Ping and Zhao Hao. They are both natives of Luoyang. It is normal for them to be surprised by the prosperity of Chang'an. Liu Honglei is a dart runner. He has never seen any scenes. Besides, it is not wrong for him to come to Chang'an. Once or twice.As for Wang Ping'an, needless to say, later generations have experienced scenes even bigger than this one.

In Wang Pingan's eyes, those caravans are just small scenes, and he can do it anytime he wants.

Wang Pingan said to Liu Honglei: "Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Master, this is the first time I have come to Chang'an, there are many things I don't know much about Chang'an, please explain it to me in detail. "

Liu Honglei said: "Of course we should, but should we advance into the city? After several months of development, Wangji Winery has already established a reputation in Chang'an. Many high-ranking officials drink the wine we brew, and there are many nightclubs. The disciples sneaked into the wine shop at night, but they were all sent away by the brothers."

Wang Pingan laughed and said, "It's conceivable that Chang'an Automobile Wine Industry probably hates us now."

"Haha, it's true, many people who have drank our wine don't drink their wine anymore." Liu Honglei laughed loudly.

Wang Ping'an also laughed loudly and said, "Haha... let's go into the city."

When everyone walked to Yanxing Gate, they saw a lot of people coming and going at the gate of the city. After passing the suspension bridge, someone suddenly shouted: "Chang'an, I'm in Chang'an! Chang'an, I'm coming!"

Someone also shouted: "This autumn exam, I will go to high school."

Wang Pingan looked around and saw a group of people dressed as scholars, some holding a few books in their hands, some carrying a bamboo basket used by scholars' villages, and some holding umbrellas to block the sun, dancing at the gate of the city, shouted loudly.

Liu Honglei laughed loudly, and said: "These people must be coming back to Chang'an for the first time, so they are so excited, but they are shouting at the gate of the city, I think they are going to be unlucky, haha!"

Wang Pingan didn't believe it, but the reality quickly convinced him. It was really just like what Liu Honglei said. A guard at the gate of the city was furious, so he shouted loudly: "In the past, there would only be a yelling every few days. Yes, there are now every day, and they are all scholars, I said you scholars are not ashamed to show yourself!"

Several soldiers and guards became angry, so they rushed up, intending to drive the group of scholars away and let them stay cool. .

After being reprimanded by the guards, this group of scholars blushed and showed a very regretful expression. Presumably they are usually very self-disciplined, and they rarely act frivolously like this.It may be that after coming to Chang'an, I was excited for a while, or it may be because the pressure of the scientific examination was too great, so I couldn't help shouting to express my passion and pressure.

But the soldiers guarding the city gate don't care what you look like normally and what you look like now. They are the city guards of Chang'an, and they see many people coming and going every day. Shouting, until it finally turned into a noise, is only during every scientific examination.

But even so, none of them will take it to heart, and when it is time to repair, they will repair it severely, and no one can expect them to be merciful!

Several tall and three rough soldiers swarmed up, grabbing out the noisy scholars one by one. Wang Pingan glanced at them. There were five or six scholars in total. After they were pulled aside, they were kicked and kicked by the soldiers guarding the city gate. , said at the same time: "The important place in the capital, the city gate fortress, how can you allow all of you who have no strength to restrain the chickens to shout!"

Another soldier shouted: "Grandpa saw your appearance and knew that you are all weak. If you don't exercise well, even if you are admitted to the first prize in the future, you will not have a good body to serve the country."

"Aiyo, aiyo..."

"Ah~~"

Wang Pingan saw it and said to himself, "It's true that scholars meet soldiers. It's justified. Even if six scholars meet four soldiers, it's the same, let alone four unreasonable big soldiers."

Those six scholars were bruised and swollen by four or five soldiers, but none of them were seriously injured, and it was obvious that the soldiers had acted inappropriately.

Wang Pingan rode his horse to the gate of the city, and couldn't help shouting: "Brother soldiers, please stop for a while, they are just shouting, expressing their inner passion at the moment, admiring the magnificence of Chang'an City, you have fought before, can you let go?" lost them?"

A soldier stopped beating, put his hands on his hips, folded his chest, turned around and said: "Where is that wild boy, how dare you prevent the guards of the city gate from punishing the villains."

When the speaking soldier saw a ten-year-old boy riding a fine horse, and there were three bodyguards behind him, he could tell at a glance that the three bodyguards behind him were all powerful characters. In Chang'an City, I haven't heard of such a person, so it's local.

He thought to himself: "Even if you are really the son of some high official, but this is Chang'an, a single brick can kill a large number of people."
