The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 454
The first thing I saw from the history books is that in the second year of Emperor Xiaowu Yongxi of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan was about to enter Luoyang. In order to avoid Gao Huan, Emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty approached He Basheng, the governor of Jingzhou, and considered moving the capital to Rangcheng, Dengzhou. However, Liu Qing, the servant of Sanqi, persuaded Emperor Wu to move the capital to Chang'an. After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Xiaowu finally decided to move the capital to Chang'an.In the following year, Gao Huan entered Luoyang, and later established the Eastern Wei Dynasty in Ye.

The second interesting thing is the story that happened to the person who is now lying half dead in the Da'an Palace.

In the autumn of the seventh year of Wude, Turkic Jieli and Tuli Khan invaded the north of the Wei River from Guyuan, Ningxia. The ministers of the court believed that the reason why the Turks coveted Guanzhong was because Guanzhong was too rich, and suggested moving the capital to other places, such as Xiang and Deng.Li Yuan agreed to the minister's suggestion, but was dissuaded by His Majesty Li Er, who was still the king of Qin at that time, and finally failed to make the trip.

From these two incidents, it can be seen how important the status of Dengzhou is in the eyes of the court ministers.

But no matter how important it is, it is not enough to compare with Chang'an and Luoyang. As the capital of a country, the background is also very important. All of them, many of them.

When he had nothing to do, Xuan Shijing also read "Book of Changes", and he could get a general understanding of the dragon veins of the entire Central Plains, and the Qinling Mountains is one of them.

For these, Xuan Shijing thinks it is credible or not, but what he cares most about is the emperors of the past dynasties. Why are some ministers opposed when they propose relocation?I am afraid that the reason for the location of the dragon vein is indispensable.

Three days later, Xuan Shijing and his party arrived in Rangcheng smoothly, which is where the seat of Dengzhou is located.

Riding on horseback, Xuan Shijing began to look around the scene in Rangcheng after entering Rangcheng. It really was the Tianfu of the Central Plains. People came and went on the street, and it was very lively. Walking on the street, there were shouts and bargaining sounds. There are all kinds of peddlers on the street, salesmen walking around the streets, rich men in fresh clothes and angry horses, cheerful women and gentle girls. Compared with Chang'an, although it is not as prosperous as it is, it is still there. It's a lot more breath of life than that.

This Rang city is said to be an important place for military strategists, but no army will be stationed in the city.

"Long'er, before you know it, it's already the eighth day of the lunar new year. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City." Xuan Shijing sighed helplessly.

It’s hard to come back, and I have been with my mother for a year, but just after the new year, I was sent out by His Majesty Li Er to kiss my mother and leave without saying goodbye. Now, I can’t even have a lantern festival The son accompanied his mother to the streets.

"That's not necessarily true. It's mainly because we were on the way here, because things in Shangzhou City were delayed, and when we came from Shangzhou to Rangcheng, we were not in a hurry on the way. We waited about two days later to meet Gao Big Brother Yuan meets, and we head towards Chang'an at full speed, taking a shortcut instead of taking the official road, which can save more than two days. From Rangcheng to Chang'an, it only takes five days, hurry up, it's enough. "Long'er said.

"Yes, Lord Hou, there are only two or three days a year in Chang'an City where there is no curfew. It is very lively. If we miss it, it would be a pity. Therefore, Lord Hou, there is no need to worry. The day after tomorrow morning at the latest, we can start our journey Back to Chang'an." Gao Jun also echoed.

"That's good, everyone has worked hard these few days, so let's have a good rest and have fun in this city, all the money will be paid by the family!" Xuan Shijing said, after so many days of traveling, it should be given to the subordinates The people have paid benefits.

Xuan Shijing now feels that Qiandui has done a good job in the past few years, at least whenever he goes to a place, Xuan Shijing does not worry about where to stay.

"Master Hou, this Rang City is one of the major strongholds of the Chamber of Commerce in the Hou Mansion. There are restaurants, inns, post stations, a brothel and two cloth workshops in our mansion in the city." Gao Jun explained to Xuan Shijing: "This is one of our important contact points in the south. The Feige transmission in Shangzhou was transferred from here to the Jingxiang area. Are you going to visit these places in the past two days? "

"It's good to have nothing to do when you're free." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Eating, drinking, playing, basic necessities, housing and transportation, in this Rang city, the chamber of commerce in the mansion is fully occupied, I really don't know how the money pile is made.Xuan Shijing thought in his heart.

According to the map of Rangcheng given by Qiandui before leaving, Xuan Shijing and others went to the restaurant of the mansion in Rangcheng.

"Master Hou, when you arrive in Dengzhou, look at the most prosperous street there, the tallest building is the restaurant in our mansion, then you can live there directly, the owner of the restaurant The third floor is the guest room, which is much more comfortable than the inn where we are, and the shopkeeper over there will arrange it for you." This is what Qiandui told Xuan Shijing in Xuanwulou before leaving.

On the bustling street, the tallest building, there is a tall archway at the entrance of the restaurant, and a pair of stone lions in front of the gate, which looks very majestic and magnificent.

The whole street is very spacious, at the entrance of the archway, Xuan Shijing looked up, and there were three large characters on the archway: Yuelai Tower.

Come on, this is also a chain business of martial arts together with Yuelai Inn, Xuan Shijing smiled on his face, and joked: "Who gave the name of this restaurant?"

Gao Jun, who was at the side, was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said: "I heard that the industries of the chamber of commerce in our house are related. Basically, the local parents and officials named the inscriptions."

When Xuan Shijing heard this, the pile of money was really clever. The local parent official wrote the inscription. The name is one thing, but the meaning here is another thing.

"Master Hou is not satisfied with this name? It's okay, just say hello to the shopkeeper, let's just change it." Gao Jun said.

"Hehe, no need, I just think that the parent officer here is a wonderful person, hahahahaha." As he spoke, Xuan Shijing laughed: "Let's go, settle down first, it's still early, brothers You can even go out for a walk.”

"Master Hou, you might as well go in first, and the subordinates go directly to the backyard." Chang Le said.

Obviously, it is impossible for horses and carriages to stop at this gate.

"No need, let's go in from the backyard together." Xuan Shijing said: "Let's not be too ostentatious, Gao Jun, you go in, let the shopkeeper wait for us in the backyard."

"Yes, Master Hou." After speaking, Gao Jun got off his horse, handed the horse's reins to a guard next to him, and walked into Yuelai Building by himself.

Xuan Shijing rode around to the backyard with a group of guards.

When Xuan Shijing and others arrived at the backyard, the door of the backyard was already wide open, and Gao Jun and a middle-aged man in his 40s were waiting at the door.

"My subordinate Zhang Fushun, shopkeeper of Yuelai Building in Rangcheng, pays homage to Lord Hou."

"The shopkeeper doesn't need to be too polite. The shopkeeper has been working hard to guard the family's property in this town for so many years. It's hard work." Xuan Shijing stepped forward and helped Zhang Fushun who was bowing.

"Serve Lord Hou, you should!" Zhang Fushun replied with a slightly excited face: "Master Hou, brothers, please come inside." Zhang Fushun quickly invited Xuan Shijing and others into the backyard, and then let the guys Go to the third floor to tidy up the guest room.

Xuan Shijing and others followed the shopkeeper into the backyard, and then started to do their own things in an orderly manner, led the horses to the stables, poured the fodder, parked the carriage in the corner of the yard, and moved the things from the carriage. The replacement of the replacement, the supplement of the supplement.

Xuan Shijing and Long'er, Gaojun, Shihu and Changle entered the lobby of Yuelai Building, and followed the shopkeeper to the private room on the second floor.
