Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

"It's nearly time. Is it ready for you, counsellor Xue?"

Qian Jiulong asked at the door. Xue Lang Lang said in a voice: "we are ready. Thank you. General Qian is waiting. Xue Lang is coming."

Xue Lang promised, turned his head and looked at Ru GUI, bowing and saluting: "thank you so much, I'm going now!"

Ru GUI smiles and replies: "Ru GUI is here to wish Xue Zi all the best and the future looks bright."

Xue Lang smiles, nods and strides out -

What Xue Lang is wearing today is a large sleeve dress for civil servants. The costumes of officials in Tang Dynasty can be divided into regular clothes and formal clothes. When sacrificing or having important political activities, the court clearly stipulates that they must wear formal clothes. For the rest of the time, you can wear regular clothes, that is, round necked robes.

This is Xue Lang's first time wearing a dress. In the past, the round necked robe was worn, and the short brown was worn, but this kind of dress with wide robe and large sleeves was not worn. Not only Hexiang started, even Rugui helped him put on the dress. That is to say, wearing such a suit, Xue Lang understood why Ru GUI only let him eat a steamed bread to satisfy his hunger and drink less water.

Qian Jiulong was a military officer. He was just worth it. Naturally, he couldn't change his dress. He still had armor on his body. To Xue Lang arch hand way: "Xue consultation please, Li Shangshu has been waiting outside the door."

"Thank you, General Qian."

Xue Lang bowed his hands, swaggered, raised his head and walked out --

out of the door, Li Gang was already waiting there. Seeing Xue Lang's dress, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with a smile, "Youyang is so elegant and elegant that his demeanor is more than ever before!"

Xue Lang saluted: "I've met Mr. Li. I'm flattered."

Li Gang nodded with a smile: "very good, very good!"

Looking at Xue Lang, Li Gang said, "the sage has spread his auspicious deeds to the whole world in a few days, allowing people to watch today's grand event. You Yang's elegant demeanor will not disappoint the people who are watching."

How do you answer that? Can't you boast yourself handsome? Xue Lang looks at Li Gang in silence.

Li Gang's face was silent, and he said in a loud voice, "the sage has ordered me to meet you now. Please advise me, please!"

"Li Gong, please!"

Xue Lang stepped on the prepared tall horse, and Changjian dressed in a new dress to lead the horse in front of him. The group of people marched towards the city gate of Chang'an -

all the sweet potatoes were uncovered and exposed to the eyes of the world. Sweet potato carriage with red cloth on its head. In front of them, there are officials from the Ministry of rites to lead the way. The guards of honor and flags are all up. Two yamen servants in public clothes and with big red flowers on their chest. Each carries a gong in his hand. He beats the gong and opens the way!

On the way out of the post house, there are soldiers on guard. Behind the soldiers, there are people and people swarming. Compared with the scene in Puzhou, the scene is much more lively -

"Oh, this good-looking husband who presents good fortune

It's a female voice who said this, but it's a pity that Xue Lang can't look around. Otherwise, we can see whether such a talented woman is a beautiful woman. We can appreciate each other.

"Is that the grain yield of twenty stones per mu? It's red. If it's really a good fortune from heaven, fortunately for the Tang Dynasty, long live the sage! "

Xue Lang Khan, red. It's natural. It has nothing to do with auspiciousness, brother. However, this association ability is also talent!

"I don't know what it's called?"

"The sage's edict said, called sweet potato!"

"I don't know when the sage decreed to promote sweet potato? Will it be promoted in Guanzhong now? "

"Guanzhong is a grain producing area, and it will be promoted, but I don't know when to promote it! We have to urge the village to pay more attention to it. "

"Yes, yes! Only in this way can it be planted in the promotion of the edict of saints. I don't know how many grains can be made per mu. "

"It's said that more than 20 stones have been hit per mu."

"Wow ——

The crowd burst into a roar, and all of them were in disbelief. After a quiet moment, their voices were noisy and they talked in succession. They could not believe that there was such a high yield of grain in the world. The muddleheaded one is still counting the output with his fingers, and the one who is proficient in numeracy has already been full of joy and rushed to tell the truth.

The authority of the government is very useful. Although the crowd is excited, no one dares to block the way. In the open road of officials, the team passes through orderly. The crowd of onlookers did not disperse. Instead, they followed the procession and rushed all the way to Chang'an -

Xue Lang rode on his horse and looked ahead. The towering city wall was from far to near. Above the gate, the two characters of Chang'an were simple and solemn. Xue Lang looked at it, but his mood was complex and hard to say.

The team enters from the South Gate of Mingde gate, and the main gate of Mingde gate opens to welcome the procession of presenting auspicious omens into the imperial capital Chang'an --

"Dalang, it's in the city!"

Let's remind you of the long-term frugality that leads the horse. Xue Lang gathered up his complicated thoughts, nodded his head, and regained the posture of looking ahead. He sat on his horse with his head held high, and went into the city with the officials who were leading the way.

The spacious Zhuque street was decorated with lights and decorations. The houses on both sides of the street and the houses on the street were full of people, competing to watch the procession of auspicious deeds.

There were so many people in the crowd. The street was too wide. Xue Lang, sitting on his horse, couldn't hear the people on both sides of the street. On the contrary, he let his tension dissipate a lot——Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, is here at last! As a fan's mood, no one can share it with him at this moment.

In order to avoid the lack of solemnity, Xue Lang only looked at the scenery in his sight with his eyes open, which is the only way to enter the inner city. According to modern textual research, the street, which divides Chang'an city into two, is about 150 meters wide and more than 5000 meters long, that is, about ten miles.

If you have a chance to climb a long distance in an orderly house, you may be able to appreciate the scene of Bai Juyi's poem "a hundred thousand families are like a chess game, and twelve streets are like a vegetable bed".

It's still the early Tang Dynasty. Xue Lang can't help but imagine that when the Tang Dynasty is in its heyday, Chang'an city must be more prosperous. Unfortunately, there was no Zhang Zeduan in the Tang Dynasty, and no one drew a picture like the painting of the river at Qingming Festival. He couldn't live that time!

As a fan, Xue Lang has been restraining himself from looking around all the way! Now is not the time to see the scenery, not the time, not the time! Important things are to be repeated for 3 times!

After walking for nearly half an hour on the ten mile road, messengers rushed into the palace to report the positions of the troops to the saints and ministers in the palace.

Through the Zhuque street, you can get to the gate of ZhuQueMen. You can enter the inner city. The administrative departments of the imperial court are mostly here, such as Taichang temple and Honglu temple.

Through the Zhuque gate, to Chengtian gate, is the scope of the imperial city. The guard general stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "get off the horse bridge, the military officer will dismount, and the civil officer will get off the sedan chair!"

Xue Lang got off the horse with the help of Changjian. He was not nervous. Instead, he felt relieved. It was not a comfortable thing to ride a horse, even if he was just riding slowly. Chang'an city is so big that Xue Lang's tension is gone!

The sweet potato convoy can only come here. Li Gang got out of the sedan chair and came to Xue Lang and said, "counsellor Xue, please follow me to meet the sage."

"Here it is

It's not easy. It's time to face the saint!
