Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 493
Luo Cheng couldn't figure out for a moment the purpose of changing the title of the Duke of Qi to the Duke of Chu, but Siye said that the emperor meant to enter the Duke of Chu, and the word "Jin" meant the meaning of reward.

Not thinking about the meaning of it for the time being, Luo Cheng said with a smile, "Since you have become a subordinate, third brother, then take your brothers to visit Luoyang City. Now you are the landlord of Luoyang."

"As a landlord, I can't compare to you. I only have a small house in Luoyang City, so I can't compare to you."

Siye laughed.

"I, I have never been to Luoyang, not even a tile."

Siye just smiled, but didn't say much.He rode a horse with his brothers and headed for Luoyang City.

Luoyang, the eastern capital in front of us, was a newly built capital after the capital was moved to Luoyang in the first year of Daye.

In the same year, Luozhou was changed to Yuzhou, and in the third year of Daye, it was changed to Henan County, under the jurisdiction of [-] counties including Henan and Luoyang.

The new Luoyang City was designed and presided over by Yu Wenkai, the master architect who designed and built Daxing City. The planning concept of harmony between man and nature.

Luoyang is mainly divided into Miyagi City, which is Ziwei City, Huangcheng City, also known as Taiwei City, and Waiguo City.

However, the location of the Luoyang Palace is different from that of the Daxing Palace. The Daxing Palace is in the north of Daxing City, while Luoyang Ziwei Palace is in the northwest corner.

"This Luoyang city is very prosperous. The most famous are the seven buildings, namely Tianque, Tianjie, Tianmen, Tianjin Bridge, Tianshu, Tiangong and Tiantang. Shocking." Siye introduced.

Luoyang City is no longer a left-right symmetrical layout like Daxing. Yu Wenkai connected all parts of Luoyang with the Son of Heaven, diverted Luoshui to run through the whole city, compared Luoyang to the Tianhan Milky Way in the sky, and regarded Miyagi as a It is Ziwei Palace, the residence of the Emperor of Heaven, and even the largest bridge over Luoshui is also called Tianjin Bridge.

Tianjin, which means the port of the heavenly border, stops and departs here for the bridge to the Milky Way.

And Jianguomen Street in Luoyang, the imperial road connecting the main gate of Miyagi and the main south gate of Guocheng, Jianguomen, is more than [-] feet wide, known as Tianjie.

Everywhere in Luoyang City is showing the great cause of Yang Guang, the emperor of heaven.

A group of people rode forward and finally approached Luoyang City.

You can see the outer city of Luoyang from a distance.

"Waiguo City is wide in the south and narrow in the north, and is slightly square. The city walls are all built with rammed earth. The base is seven feet wide. There are sewers made of stone slabs under the city wall."

There are eight gates in the outer city of Luoyang. There are no gates on the west wall, and three gates are opened on the south wall. From east to west, they are Changxia Gate, Jianguo Gate, and Baihu Gate. Shangchunmen.

The two gates on the north wall are Xining Gate and Hui'an Gate.

"There are a total of 81 squares plus three cities in the whole city. There are 28 squares plus Xishi and Nanshi to the south of Luohe River, and [-] squares plus Beishi to the north of Luohe."

There are only two cities in Daxing City, East and West, and all the people in Daxing City like to call them shopping.

But there are three markets in Luoyang City, West Market, South Market and North Market, so Luoyang people sometimes prefer to call it Buying North and South.

There are many small cities around Luoyang City, such as Yaoyi City and Yuanbi City in the north of the palace. Jiacang City has [-] grain cellars with [-] shi of grain each.

"I am now stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate at the main entrance of the palace city, but every month, we will switch defenses, and the Nanya Forbidden Army and the Beiya Forbidden Army will take over alternately."

The gate in the middle of the three gates in the South City is Jianguomen, but the location of Jianguomen is not in the center, but on the west side. After entering Jianguomen, there is Tianjie.

This street is more than 100 meters wide, a little wider than the Zhuque Street in Daxing City.

Tianjie goes straight forward, facing the palace.

A Luoshui River separates the Imperial Palace from Guocheng and is connected by the Tianjin Bridge.

Siye directly brought Luo Cheng and his party to Shangshanfang in the south of Tianjin Bridge.

"What are you doing here? We still want to go shopping in the market." The fourth child muttered.

"Luoyang City only has three cities, West, South, and North. There is no East City. The West Market is in the southwest corner of Waiguo City. The West Market is just inside the Baihumen Gate. It's very lively there, but I'll take you there later. Today, I will go to Shang City. Shanfang."

"Is there anything to do?" asked the fourth child.

"Go in and you'll know."

Shangshanfang is located in the sixth square from south to north on Jianguomen East First Street. It is across the street from Jishanfang. The square is connected to Luohe Tianjin Bridge in the north and Longmen Yique in the south. The buildings are linked together and the scenery is unique.

There are also official government offices such as the Taishijian, Chongxian Hall, Zongzheng Temple, and the Internal Servant Bureau in the square. In addition, it is also the square of many nobles.

"In Shangshanfang, there are the most princesses."

In a word, the fourth child came alive.

It's just that after the fourth brother entered the workshop, he didn't go to any princess's mansion, but took Luo Cheng to the northwest corner.

A huge house in front occupies a quarter of Shang Shan Fang, completely occupying the northwest corner.

"It's a nice house."

Siye said with a smile, "Fifth Brother, what do you think of this house?"

"That's right, I'm afraid it's some prince's mansion?"

Luo Cheng looked at this mansion really magnificent, but the plaque on the door was lifted up.

"Like it?"

"Like is also someone else's."

"Just tell me if you like it or not."

"That's for sure."

Siye laughed, "As long as you like it, this is your mansion. It turned out to be the house of Situ and Yang Su, Duke of Chu. It was given by the emperor. After his death, Yang Xuangan naturally inherited it. It's just that Yang Xuangan conspired against him. Now He was beheaded and pacified by you, the fifth younger brother, so His Majesty decided to enter you as Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Chu Guogong, and give you five thousand households in Shiyi, and five hundred households in real seals. I will grant you the title of General Zuo Tunwei, and give you all the mansions, wealth and slaves of the Yang Ni family."

Quiet.

Very quiet.

A large number of Shandong generals and men are too quiet at this time.

After a long time, Du Fuwei touched the saliva from the corner of his mouth, "Third brother, is what you said true?"

"Well, this is the decree issued by the emperor earlier in the morning. It is estimated that the official imperial decree is still signed with the seals of the three provinces, but it will definitely be delivered to the fifth brother today at the latest."

"I am grass."

The fourth child finally woke up and was amazed again and again.

"Giving all of the Yang family's property to the fifth child, isn't that a reward?"

"It doesn't mean all the property, it's just the money and silk servants of the mansion. The Yang family's land was confiscated. The Yang family has a lot of land, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land in various places."

"Thousands of hectares?" The fourth child swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.One hectare, one hundred mu, these thousands of hectares, isn't that hundreds of thousands of mu of land? "Grass, this Yang Xuangan has hundreds of thousands of acres of land, how the hell is he still rebelling?"

Siye chuckled, "You have to know that Yang Su was originally from the Hongnong Yang family, which is already a top-notch noble family. In addition, he was the chancellor of the two dynasties, and he was extremely favored. He has put down rebellions many times. He has to be rewarded heavily every time, and sometimes the emperor rewards him with tens of hectares or even hundreds of hectares of fertile land at a time, what do you think.”

And Yang Su was the prime minister during the two dynasties. His younger brother Yang Yue and uncle Yang Wensi also served as prime ministers. His uncle Yang Wenji and patriarch Yang Yi also served as ministers. Even brothers like Yang Xuangan, who had nothing to do, went to the Zhu Kingdom and the governor early.

There are thousands of servants in the Yang family, and thousands of happy prostitutes and concubines in the backyard.

The mansion is gorgeous and luxurious, and its scale can even imitate the imperial palace.

When Yang Su was alive, the housekeepers, stewards and other domestic slaves in his mansion were all famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. Yang Su's internal and external relatives and many former subordinate officials all held important positions because of him. .

In terms of dignitaries, it can be said that there is no one in the Sui Dynasty that can compare with him.

"The Yang's house in Shangshanfang is not bad, but the Yang's house in Daxing City is more luxurious and gorgeous."
