Kaiyuan Merry

12. Chang'an

() Wang Wei and Cui Yingluo, who left one step ahead, rode side by side on the official road. At this time, they gradually saw the majestic and thick city walls of the prosperous ancient capital. The style of the most prosperous capital city.

Cui Yingluo couldn't help asking the question that had been on her mind for a long time: "Why did you save that person, but didn't accept the other's repayment?"

Wang Wei had a charming smile on his face, which always gave people a warm and comfortable feeling like jade. He said perfunctorily: "Of course it's because that Obasan is too ugly, so it makes people who want to be a hero to save the beauty I am disappointed……"

Cui Yingluo wrapped her hair around her fingertips helplessly, and said angrily, "Obasang? This is a Japanese dialect. I didn't expect you to know a lot."

Wang Wei was taken aback. Just now he casually spoke a relatively modern vocabulary, and Cui Yingluo could understand it. He could only be a little puzzled and said, "Riben? Shouldn't it be called Fusang or Dongying? ?"

Cui Yingluo explained casually: "During the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, the Japanese came to court and named it Riben, which means the place where the sun rises."

Wang Wei secretly admired Cui Yingluo's erudition, and couldn't help but praise: "You really know everything."

Cui Yingluo blinked her beautiful eyes, played with her hair, and smiled, "I just know what I know."

Wang Wei felt that Cui Yingluo's appearance was extremely beautiful at this time, and undoubtedly only he could appreciate such a beautiful scenery. But more are those beautiful but unknown women, just scattered in the long river of history.

Cui Yingluo stroked her forehead suddenly, and said depressedly: "Awei, why is the topic so far away? Don't think I will believe your nonsense just now! Although that Ouba...ah bah, the woman doesn't look very good, but It is obvious that the person standing behind her is quite powerful, isn't that what you expected, but you have wasted the opportunity for others to repay you."

But Wang Wei asked back: "You don't think I'm a real chivalrous man who saves people without expecting anything in return? The so-called 'flick off your clothes when things happen, hide your achievements and fame'..."

Cui Yingluo suddenly heard the phrase "It's all about brushing away, and the merits and fame are hidden", and couldn't help but praise: "Hey, this poem is very good, when did you go to the heroic style again... Ah, again I was interrupted, Awei, can't you just stop being tricky?" Of course, she wouldn't believe that Wang Wei was sincere and didn't want to reciprocate, this was not what he said before saving people.

Cui Yingluo is a bit coquettish, biting her plump cherry lips, her red lips and white teeth have a seductive beauty, and the natural intimacy with Wang Wei is also revealed at any time, which can make a man feel quite fulfilled.

"I really can't do anything about you." Wang Wei smiled calmly, as if everything was under control, "How can you not see through such a simple game of trying to get caught? You are so impressive now, if you want a taller image, how can you not put on a show?"

I'm just a politician, Wang Wei said silently to himself.

Although Cui Yingluo is obsessed with arithmetic, but she was born in a wealthy family, she is also exquisite in mind, and she can almost see through it. She suddenly said: "So, I didn't expect that, Awei, you would suddenly become enlightened after you fell ill. How can you have so many twists and turns..."

Seeing that Wang Wei's expression was a little unnatural after hearing her words, Cui Yingluo gently grabbed Wang Wei's hand and said softly: "I like this kind of Awei more. You were too gentle and weak in the past. Just like a little rabbit, it can't give people a sense of security at all, but now it's different, you give me the feeling, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity."

Being held by Cui Yingluo's soft and boneless hands, Wang Wei enjoyed it very much. He also understood Cui Yingluo's words quite well. Being in a wealthy family, although he enjoys the glory and wealth, the competition among them is really fierce. If he is too cowardly, he will obviously be bullied. Moreover, Wang Weizhi is in the officialdom. The so-called officialdom is dangerous. People who are too simple will always be a stepping stone for the superiors after entering.

"However, why didn't you even leave your name?" Cui Yingluo was a little unwilling after all. As a woman, she was still a little small. She felt that Wang Wei had spent so much effort to save others, and left like this, which was a bit of a loss.

Only then did Wang Wei patiently explain: "It's okay, if that person doesn't even have the ability to find out my name, then I don't think the reward will matter, besides...I'm still there, and I met someone I know, I think I don’t need to leave my name, someone will help me.”

"Is that the one who stayed in the carriage behind the convoy? Who is it?" Cui Yingluo asked curiously, but she admired Wang Wei's thoughtfulness very much in her heart, and Wang Wei's naked profit-oriented style really made her She feels pleasure.

"Siming madman He Zhizhang, a seventh-rank Doctor Taichang, is more prestigious than Guozi Jijiu, but this old guy has always been informal, drinking and having fun all day long. Although he admires me, he probably can't understand me. That cautious and courteous look makes me think that although I come from a wealthy family, I really have no interest." Wang Wei answered Cui Yingluo's question based on the memory in his body.

In fact, he himself admires such an unrestrained romantic person like He Zhizhang. After all, this great poet who has moved the world is also well-known in history. Even though he is only a doctor now, he will have a prosperous official career in the future. Obviously, making friends with this great poet will be very helpful to Wang Wei's career.

Cui Yingluo laughed and said, "Awei, you really had no interest in the past, you only knew how to bury your head in Buddhist scriptures. It seems that the biggest harvest you have saved this time is this Dr. He. As long as he praises you Second, fame in Chang'an can be expected."

Wang Wei also didn't mind the ridicule in Cui Yingluo's words. Compared with He Zhizhang, he looked forward to the unknown woman more, probably because He Zhizhang, as a Taichang doctor, could contact him at any time as a Taichang student. Not good at communication, talented but not good at hyping up his reputation, but now Wang Wei is different. As a college student from the information age, how to attract people's attention is too simple.

The unnamed heroic act after saving people would surely spread to the onlookers after being seen by those onlookers, and with the proof of being a celebrity like He Zhizhang who controlled public opinion, it would be hard for Wang Wei not to be famous.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the city of Chang'an. Wang Wei looked at the majestic Chang'an city with some excitement. The sense of time and space disorder made him feel very strange. He was witnessing history and also creating history.

Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty, called Daxing City in Sui Dynasty, was built in Sui Dynasty, and changed its name to Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty. It was the capital of Sui and Tang Dynasties. City.It was the most magnificent capital in ancient China established by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and his ministers, reflecting the grandeur of the unified dynasty.In order to reflect the desire to unify the world and achieve long-term peace and stability, the city embraced the idea of ​​the unity of man and nature in the planning process - "the law of the sky and the earth", the emperor is respected, and all officials serve.

The planning of all the squares and cities in Chang'an City is extremely neat, and it is more appropriate to use "a hundred thousand houses are like a chess game, and the twelve streets are like vegetable beds". <Ming Gate, the north and south are Yanxing Gate and Tonghua Gate respectively; the west center is Jinguang Gate, and the north and south are respectively Yanping Gate and Kaiyuan Gate.

Wang Wei and Cui Yingluo luckily rushed to the city of Chang'an before closing the door. Unlike Wang Wei's imagination of a street with various vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the costume TV series, the roads in the city seemed quite smooth and There are no vendors setting up stalls or the like.

According to his memory, he knew that it was illegal to set up stalls on official roads, and there would be squares, the so-called urban management inspections. The places where commodities were traded were basically concentrated in Lifangs, and the most prosperous places for commodity transactions should be regarded as East Market and West Market.

The East Market and the West Market were the economic activity centers of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, and they were also the national industrial and commercial trade centers at that time, and they were also important places for economic exchanges between China and foreign countries.Merchants gather here, there are many mansions and shops, there are a variety of items, and the trade is extremely prosperous.

The area of ​​Dongshi, according to literature records: "the north and the south live in two squares".According to archaeological measurements: Dongshi is more than 1000 meters long from north to south, 24 meters wide from east to west, and covers an area of ​​0.92 square kilometers.Around the city, there are two gates on each side, a total of eight gates.The north side of the street at the wall around the city (that is, Chunmingmen Street) is 120 meters wide, and the east, south and west sides are each 122 meters wide.The effect of this wide street is to facilitate commercial transportation and the stopping of horses and horses before citizens enter the market.

Because Dongshi is close to the three inner palaces (West Inner Taiji Palace, East Inner Daming Palace, and South Inner Xingqing Palace), and there are many residences of royal families, aristocrats and high-ranking officials in the surrounding squares, "treasures from all directions are accumulated in the city" ( "Chang'an Chronicle East City"), the commodities in the market are mostly high-end luxury goods to meet the needs of the royal family and dignitaries.

It can be said that people with status are proud of being able to live in the surrounding squares of Dongshi.

As the most important market in Chang'an City and even the whole country, the West Market conducts closed centralized transactions, that is, it gathers several similar commodities together, and uses 'si' (or equivalent 'line', 'store') as the center The city has a special management agency - the Municipal Bureau and the Bureau of Leveling.The trading area is also concentrated in a relatively closed place with walls on all sides and a market gate.Because the West Market is far away from Sannei, there are many common people's houses around, and the products sold in the market are mostly daily necessities such as clothes, candles, cakes, and medicines.

However, the business of the West Market is more prosperous than that of the East City, and it is the main industrial and commercial area and economic activity center of Chang'an City, so it is also called the "Golden City".

The reason is that the West Market is relatively close to Kaiyuanmen, the starting point of the Tang Chang'an Silk Road, and there are many foreign businessmen living in the surrounding squares, thus becoming an international trade market.There are businessmen from Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Korea, Baekje, Silla, Japan and other countries and regions. Among them, there are the most "Hu merchants" in Central Asia, Persia, and Dashi. Most of them live in Xishi Or some squares near West Market.These foreign merchants sold the spices and medicines they brought to the Tang Dynasty, and then bought jewelry, silk and porcelain from the Tang Dynasty.Therefore, there are many shops opened by foreign businessmen in the West Market, such as Persian mansions, jewelry stores, warehouses, wine shops and so on.Among them, many orchid restaurants where girls from the Western Regions sang, sang, danced and served wine were frequented by teenagers from time to time.

In Li Bai's "Youth Journey", there are poems such as "Wuling boy Jin Shidong" and "Laughing into the Orchid's wine shop".

The Tang Dynasty implemented a strict system of fixed-time trade and night ban on the Chang'an city market, especially the east and west cities.The gates of the two cities also implemented a system of opening and closing together with the city gates, street gates, and square gates of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty in the morning and evening, and there were special gatekeepers.

Except for the east market and the west market, there will be fixed shops in every square city for people to live in, so as to facilitate people's life.
