Tang Dynasty

Chapter 4
With Liu Li's talent, becoming a scribe is a certainty, but at this time, Liu Li is still unavoidably happy when he succeeds.

"Hehe." Liu Li smiled heartily and began to test his combat power.

With a thought, there was a sudden change in the ten-foot radius, the mist surged, and various animals and birds appeared.Don't underestimate these transformed animals and birds, this is Liu Li's fighting method.

The greatest advantage of a scribe is that he can mobilize the power of heaven and earth to fight against people, but he himself hides far away and is difficult to be found.As for military commanders, they focus on personal combat power. Their own physical fitness is excellent and their combat power is amazing, but they can't even be discovered by others, so what else can they fight?

Is Chu Overlord enough to defy the sky?This is the reason why he was ambushed to death when he met Han Xin.

Ten feet, good, very good, Liu Li is very satisfied.

The induction between heaven and man focuses on the word "induction".Liu Li's sensing range is ten miles around, but he can only sense it, not be able to control the ten miles around.Liu Li was able to make dragons and tigers look different during the induction between heaven and man, and he was able to make a big disturbance in the Hongcui Building. It was because he was against the sky.

The strength of a literati depends on the size of the range that can be controlled. The larger the range of control, the more power of heaven and earth can be mobilized, and the stronger the strength.

Being a scribe can control a radius of ten feet, which is already against the sky, Liu Li is very satisfied.

In the end, a bald-headed and vicious naked man was brought out. The club in front of him was enough to kill people. Liu Li said wretchedly: "From now on, if anyone doesn't like it, I will come to 'God's Friends'. It must be fun."

One sheet, one relaxation, the way of civil and martial arts. I have been concentrating on cultivation these days without rest. Now that I have become a scribe, it is time to rest.Liu Li decided to go out for a walk and take a good look around Chang'an.After coming to this world, it is a pity that I haven't visited the famous ancient city of Chang'an.

Zheng Qianqian knew that Liu Li had become a scribe, so she couldn't close her mouth with a smile. She responded to Liu Li's request without saying a word, and forced a stack of bank notes to Liu Li, saying: "Li'er, you see the one you like?" Just buy it, don’t be afraid to spend money.”

Looking at Liu Li with a smile, the more he looked at him, the happier he became. This precious son is too upbeat.

Liu Li bid farewell to Zheng Qianqian, took Liu Shuo and Liu Zhuang, two confidants, left Liu's mansion, and started to visit Chang'an.

As soon as you come to the street, you can only see people coming and going, like a shuttle, very lively, even an international metropolis in modern society is nothing more than this.

It is indeed a famous ancient capital in Chinese history, so amazing!

This world is bigger than the earth. The territory of the Sui Dynasty is more than ten times that of China on the earth, and the population under its rule is as high as several billion. This is the reason why Chang'an is so lively.

Chang'an was built by the famous prime minister Xiao He in the Han Dynasty.Liu Bang worshiped Han Xin as a general, adopted Han Xin's strategy, and secretly went out of Chencang on Mingxiu Plank Road, and suddenly sent troops to Guanzhong. After taking the Guanzhong land, he used the Guanzhong land as a base to accumulate strength and compete with Xiang Yu for hegemony in the world.Xiao He, the famous general manager, was ordered to manage the rear, recruit soldiers for Liu Bang, and transport grain and grass, so that Liu Bang had no worries and tried his best to compete with Xiang Yu for hegemony.

In addition to this, Xiao He also did one thing, which was to build Chang'an, and built many magnificent palaces.After Liu Bang came back from the front line, he was very unhappy and summoned Xiao He to scold him. The world is not in peace, the people don’t have enough food and clothing, and you still build such a magnificent palace. How can you make me feel at ease?
Xiao He replied: It is precisely because the world is not safe that we can take the opportunity to build such a magnificent city and such a magnificent palace.Otherwise, once the world is stable and the people think of peace, if you want to repair it, the world will be full of chaos, and you will be called a tyrant.

When Liu Bang thought about it, it made sense, his anger dissipated, and he was very happy, so he lived in the palace happily.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an was destroyed by war.After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty won the world, he rebuilt Chang'an on the site of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, and Chang'an, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, was born.

Chang'an in the Sui Dynasty was not called Chang'an, but "Daxing City". After careful consideration, it was decided to use the well-known "Chang'an".

Because people in this world can cultivate, their physical fitness is much higher than that of the people on Earth, and their strength is greater. It is not difficult to build a city. Therefore, Chang'an City is particularly tall and majestic, and it is even more expansive. The entire Chang'an is close to [-] square kilometers.

With a permanent population of more than [-] million, Chang'an was the largest city at that time and the political and economic center of the Sui Dynasty.

There are three most famous places in Chang'an, the Imperial City, Dongshi, and Xishi.

Needless to say, the imperial city was where the emperor lived and where the top officials of the empire worked.

The East Market and the West Market are the two largest trading centers in Chang'an. The East Market is close to the imperial city, surrounded by many relatives of the emperor, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and what they sell are mainly luxury goods.The West Market is in the southwest, surrounded by many common people, and it is the best place for common people to trade and shop, and most of the items they sell are cheap.

Liu Li is going to the East Market, firstly to check the market and prepare for doing business.

Cultivation requires the assistance of treasures. With the current financial resources of the Liu family, it is impossible to buy the treasures that Liu Li needs. This matter has to fall on Liu Li. He is a doctor of economics, and making money is what he is best at. What about?
Liu Li wants to take the upper-level route, because he knows that the special products on the earth are novelties in this world, and they will sell for a lot of money, which is not something ordinary people can afford.

Therefore, it is inevitable to come to Dongshi to understand the market.

The second is that Liu Li wants to take a look at the treasure by the way.Although there is understanding in this area, I have not seen the real thing.

The architectural layout of cities in the Sui Dynasty was not the street system that we are familiar with, but the Lifang system.The so-called Lifang system is to divide the urban area into square areas like tofu blocks, almost one square kilometer is one square.Dongshi occupies nearly [-] squares, which is very large.

Even though it is so huge, when Liu Li came here and took a look around, his jaw almost dropped in shock, there are so many people.

Looking at it from the front, it is a person, from the back, it is a person, from the left, it is a person, from the right, shoulder to shoulder, heel to heel, even Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is inferior to it.

The resident population of Chang'an exceeds tens of millions, plus the number of businessmen and tourists who come to do business, there are tens of millions.

It took a lot of effort to enter the East Market, and there were shops everywhere, eating, drinking, having fun, gold, silver, and pearl treasures, there were so many of them, Liu Li's eyes almost dazzled.

"It's amazing!" Even though Liu Li came from modern times and was used to the hustle and bustle of the modern city, he couldn't help admiring it.

"Master, where are we going?" Liu Shuo led the way for Liu Li, gasping for breath.

Liu Zhuang blocked the flow of people behind Liu Li, and he was also very tired, so he hurriedly said, "Master, let's find a place with few people."

There are so many people here, one can imagine the pressure of crowding around, although the two of them are strong, they can't bear it.

"Go there, Wanbaofang." Liu Li saw that Wanbaofang was not far away.

Wanbaofang, as the name suggests, is a place where treasures are sold.The treasures sold here include treasures for cultivation and ornamental treasures, all of which are high-quality goods.

There are fewer people here in Wanbaofang, and it is a relief to squeeze here.However, the people who come in and out of here are either rich or noble, everyone is wearing silk and satin, and they are all rich and noble.

Dongshi is the essence of Chang'an, and Wanbaofang is the essence of Dongshi. There is an iconic store in every direction.To the east is the Wanbaozhai of the Cui family in Qinghe, to the east is the Pinbao Pavilion of the Li family in Longxi, to the south is the Qionglou of the Xiao family of Lanling, and to the north is the Lingxiao Pavilion of the Pei family.

The Sui Dynasty was the heyday of the aristocrats, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was able to become emperor because he had the support of the aristocrats.The Cui family in Qinghe, the Li family in Longxi, the Xiao family in Lanling, and the Pei family in Guanzhong were all super powerful families at that time.

The Qinghe Cui family has the reputation of being the number one powerful family in the world, the Longxi Li family is Li Er's family, the Lanling Xiao family is the descendant family, and the Pei family is one of the four great powerful families in Guanzhong.

The place where Liu Li was located was in the north, which happened to be where Pei's Lingxiao Pavilion was located. Liu Li decided to go in and have a look.

The Ling Xiao Pavilion occupies a large area, which is composed of three five-story abodes, tall and majestic, very grand.The guards at the door are four military generals who have perfected the Qi refining state. Look at their demeanor, they are very impressive.

"Guest officer, we are very honored to have you here. However, we are not waiting for idlers to enter here." A guard on duty smiled and greeted Liu Li and his party very politely, but what he said meant something else .

Liu Li knew their rules, and anyone who wanted to enter had to be wealthy enough.You don't need to buy anything, but if you don't have enough wealth, you are not eligible to enter.

Hearing this, Liu Shuo and Liu Zhuang were very upset. They gave the guard a hard look, but they didn't dare to fart.

Although Liu Yu was a high-ranking official of the third rank in the current dynasty and the top leader of Yushitai, compared with the super powerful Pei Shi, he was no fart, so he had to endure his displeasure.

Liu Li didn't talk nonsense, and took out the silver ticket Zheng Qianqian gave him: "Is it all right?"

"My son, please." Zheng Qianqian felt sorry for her son, and gave her a lot of bank notes. When she put them down thickly, the guards knew a lot at a glance, which fully met their entry conditions.

Liu Li is very ordinary. In another time and space, this kind of occasion is equivalent to a "club". If you don't have enough wealth and status, you don't want to go in. Liu Li has seen a lot and can accept it.

Liu Shuo and Liu Zhuang snorted softly, and entered with their heads held high, as if it was an honor.

"Your Majesty's presence is our honor. I wonder if I have the honor to serve you?" A young and beautiful maid floated over like a fairy, walking briskly, with a smile on her face, well-dressed, making people feel very comfortable.

Liu Li noticed for a moment that the maid's walking pace was not much different, and she had a sense of rhythm, which must have been strictly trained.

"I want to see it before I talk about it. I wonder if you can introduce it to me." Liu Li took out a five tael bank note and handed it over.

The maid bowed deeply to Liu Li, took it with a smile, and said, "Thank you for the reward, my lord! Please, my lord."

The maid let Liu Li to the front, and she herself was a step behind Liu Li, and introduced to Liu Li: "The first floor is an ordinary treasure, worth about a thousand taels of silver. The second floor is a treasure, worth several thousand taels to ten thousand taels of silver." No. The third floor is a rare treasure, worth 10 taels to [-] taels of silver. The fourth floor is a rare treasure in the world, and all of them are priceless treasures. The value is incalculable. If necessary, the price must be negotiated face to face."

"What about the fifth floor?" Liu Li asked.

"The fifth floor is the meeting place. If you have a big deal, you can go to the fifth floor to discuss." The maid answered patiently.

Accompanied by the maid, Liu Li took a look at the merchandise on the first floor. Just as the maid said, although it is a treasure, it is also ordinary, and the value is about a thousand taels.

The only thing that stands out is that some treasures come from Persia, Korea, and Tianzhu, mostly jewelry.

Going to the second floor, the treasures here are better and more expensive, often tens of thousands of taels of silver, Liu Li can only look at them, but don't want to buy them.

When he arrived at the third floor, Liu Li's eyes lit up, and he saw the incense sticks, each inch long, placed on the counter.Accumulating incense wood is one of the best auxiliary treasures for scribes to cultivate, especially suitable for Liu Li.If there is incense wood, Liu Li's cultivation speed will be very fast.

However, when Liu Li saw the price, he immediately withered, it was 10 taels of silver.

10 taels. With Liu Yu's salary, it would take four to fifty years to save enough without eating or drinking. Liu Li could only live off his eye addiction.

"Hey. It's ridiculous to come here without money to embarrass yourself!" A mocking voice came from behind.

Liu Li turned his head to look, and a sternness flashed in his eyes.
