Chapter 317

Yu Wenhua and strength are weaker than Wang Tong, the previous text has been changed

Ancient Luoyang occupies the south bank of the Yellow River, with Mang Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Hulao in the east, Hangu in the west, surrounded by mountains, and the Luoyang Plain in the middle.

The four rivers of Yi, Luo, Yu and Jian flow through it. The situation is dangerous, but also the scenery is beautiful, the soil is fertile, the climate is moderate, and the water transportation is convenient.

Therefore, since ancient times, seven dynasties including Xia, Shang, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, and Northern Wei have established their capitals here.

The so-called Heyang Dingding is located in the central plains and responds to the four directions. Luoyang is the transportation hub of the world and a military fortress.

After Yang Guang came to the throne, due to political needs, he chose another capital in Luoyang and built a new capital.

At the same time, more than one million people in Henan and Huaibei were confiscated to dig the Tongji Canal.

Tongji Canal is more than 24 Zhang (80 meters) wide. It starts from Banzhu in Xingyang in the north, exits from the Yellow River, passes through Honggou, Langdang Canal, and Suishui, and then flows into Hongze Lake in Zhongli County and enters Huai River. The total length is more than 1300 meters. The project was declared completed in less than half a year, during which nearly half of the people died.

In the same year, more than [-] people in Huainan were recruited to dredge the Hangou to connect the Huai River and the Yangtze River.

Hangou starts from Huai'an County, Zhongli County in the north, exits from Huai River, crosses Jin Lake (Gaoyou Lake), crosses Yangzhou, and enters the Yangtze River, with a total length of more than 170 miles.

In the fourth year of the great cause, the infrastructure madman Yang Guang once again conscripted more than a million people in the counties of Hebei to open the Yongji Canal!
Yongji Canal starts from Xingyang County in the west,

Introducing Qinshui, reaching the Yellow River in the south, and connecting Zhuojun in the north, with a total length of more than 2000 li.

Because the canal connects the north and the south, and connects the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River, and the Qiantang River, Luoyang has become the central hub of transportation and commerce in the world.

At this time, Luoyang was located between the King Zhou City and the ancient city of the Han and Wei Dynasties, straddling both sides of the Luoshui River, crossing the Dangshui River in the east, Yishui River in the south, Jianhe River in the west, and Mangshan Mountain in the north, with a city circumference of more than 50 miles.

On this day, although it was past noon, the gates around Luoyang City were still crowded with people.

With a stern face, Huang Lin calmly entered the city through the south gate following the flow of people.

As Dongluo, the scale of Luoyang is not comparable to other cities, and probably only Chang'an can match it in the entire Central Plains.

There are three gates in the south of Luoyang, which are Baihumen, Dingdingmen and Changxiamen from west to east.

Huang Lin walked through the Dingding gate in the middle.

At this time, his eyebrows are thick and long, his eyes are clear and elegant, his nose is straight and his lips are thin, and he looks a little cold, but his slightly upturned mouth makes his whole face gentle, which makes people feel happy at first sight. Good impression.

Her long hair was neatly combed, tied in a bun on the top of her head, and bound by a crown of silver silk beads.

The right hand touched a sandalwood folding fan, the fan bones were closed, and the left hand was beating once and for all.

Dressed in a white brocade robe with cloud patterns, and with his movements of looking around, he looks like a rich and noble son who has just arrived in Luoyang.

After passing through the Wengcheng, before entering the city, Huang Lin was stunned by the scene in front of him.

"Shu~"

The folding fan in his hand unconsciously felt that it was stretched open, and the four characters of "Treading the Moon and Liuxiang" jumped more and more on the fan.

No wonder Huang Lin lost his composure, even though he has traveled through many worlds, he has never seen such a 200-meter-wide sky street!

Yes, the name of this street is Tianjie!

It is connected to the Dingding Gate of Guocheng on the outside, and the Duanmen of the Imperial City on the inside. Unlike the later generations, there are several roads separated by vegetation, so that the street looks extremely wide.

In the center of Tianjie is the royal road for the emperor to go on tour. The stone bricks are of different colors from the two sides to show the difference.Cherries, pomegranates, elms and willows are planted on both sides. It is midsummer, and the grass and forest are luxuriant, and the scenery is picturesque and beautiful.

(The cherry here refers specifically to the cherry tree, the earliest cherry blossom avenue in the world.)
On both sides of the avenue are Ningrenfang and Mingjiaofang. There are many shops along the street. There are roads between the lifangs, intersecting with the cross streets that run through the major city gates, in an orderly manner.

According to the news that Huang Lin heard when he entered the city just now, he walked leisurely all the way to Mingjiaofang, hired a carriage from a carriage and horse shop in the workshop, and began to tour the scenery of Luoyang along Tianjie.

At the end of Tianjie is the imperial city on the north bank of Luoshui. With his eyesight, he can see the majestic palace tower over there from a distance.

The carriage drove to Anyefang, and turned right onto Changle Street, which leads to Yanchun Gate in the east.

All the way through Chongye, Xuanfan, Xiushan and other five workshops, when the carriage arrived at Luoyang Nanshi, it was already the end of the day.

After paying the carriage money, Huang Lin looked up and saw a building at the intersection of Changle Street and Liren Lane on the street facing Nanshi.

"Shu~"

Opening the folding fan, Huang Lin walked forward with a smile on his face. The eyes of Xiaoer at the gate of the building lit up, and he rushed forward two steps ahead.

"My lord, do you want to stay at the top or stay at the hotel?"

"It's not only a top job, but also a hotel! Come to a private courtyard."

After stopping to look at the signboard of Youjianlou, Huang Lin smiled and said.

Xiao Er put the cloth scarf on his shoulders, then stretched out his hand to lead Huang Lin into the building, and sang: "There is a guest~~~, a private~~small~yard~~~~"

This tone sounds very friendly, but it was Huang Lin's suggestion when he mentioned the inn plan to Song Que.

There is a building that takes the middle and low-end route, which is different from Manqingyuan and Dongjia Restaurant.

One is that time is tight and the location is difficult to buy; the other is that it is more difficult to collect information on such high-end places.

There was a floor nearly six feet high, separated from the fifth floor. Huang Lin went all the way to the fourth floor and found a table on the side of Changle Street.

Although it was not a meal, he saw that there were not a few diners on all floors of the building.

After finishing the meal in a leisurely manner and tasting the craftsmanship here, Huang Lin called the waiter, went downstairs to the private courtyard at the back, and asked him to call the shopkeeper.

"My lord, I don't know what to call the old man to order?"

The shopkeeper looked about forty, he didn't seem to have martial arts skills, and he seemed a little cautious after seeing Huang Lin who was making tea.

"What's your name, shopkeeper?" Huang Lin asked softly while making tea.

This tea is his own stock, and it will take some time for the new tea from the Song Clan to be transported to the north.

The shopkeeper arched his hands: "Hey~ Where is the price, the old man's surname is Wen."

"Well, shopkeeper Wen." Huang Lin put down the kettle, took out a wooden token from his pocket, and said, "Can you recognize this thing?"

The word "Wang Hu" is engraved on the front of this token, but it doesn't look like a normal writing style; the back is intersected with swords, and its appearance is a bit like a sky knife and a red phoenix.

Shopkeeper Wen's eyes flickered away, and then he took the token with a suspicious face, flipped through it, and then slowly said: "I don't have much impression of the old man, but the word Wang Hu is a bit like the king of heaven and the tiger of earth."

After speaking, he returned the token with both hands.

Huang Lin took the token casually, and said with a helpless face: "In that case, prepare a chicken stew for me that night."

As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper Wen immediately bowed and cupped his hands, and shouted in a low voice: "Luoyang Master Wen Feng, I have met my lord!"

"Get up." Huang Lin waved his hand: "Is Bai Xiaosheng ready for the master list?"

Because it is the first time wiring, in order to prevent accidents, the incision is a little troublesome, and this place will not recognize the person in the future.

"My lord, the list has been delivered in the middle of this month, and it will be distributed all over the place just waiting for your signature." Shopkeeper Wen replied respectfully.

"I'll take a look at it in a while, and I'm going to prepare it in the next few days."

"Yes!"

Afterwards, Huang Lin asked about the distribution of some buildings in the Central Plains, and after learning about Luoyang's information, he waved for shopkeeper Wen to pick up the list of masters.

It's the end of June now, it's time to release the Jianghu master list!
