Chapter 5 Luoyang, Kyoto
Volume 2
The capital Luoyang existed in the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Jianwu period of Emperor Guangwu, new city walls and city gates were built. From a distance, the length and width were not very regular. Each city wall was several thousand meters long, five to seven meters high, about ten to twenty meters thick, and there were twelve city gates on it: three in the east and west, two in the north, and four in the south.
In short, compared with other cities that Ye Xiaoyi and others have seen, Luoyang City is quite majestic.
"It's so good. There are so many city gates, if they open them together..." How convenient would it be to escape.
Ye Xiaoyi and others checked their identities and entered the city, and found that the city was also very prosperous and the streets were very wide. After careful observation, it was estimated that it was more than 20 meters, or even 30 to 40 meters. Such a wide street was as rare as a panda for modern cities.
The old man said back then that there are two palaces in Luoyang City: Nangong and Beigong. They were built during the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Ming Dynasty, and are connected to the north and south. The east and west of the Beigong are Yongle Palace and the garden of the emperor’s old man. To the east of the city is Taicang and the arsenal of the aristocratic people, and they are also the residences of princes and nobles. There are Taixue, Mingtang, Biyong, and Lingtai in the south of the city. There are Baima Temple in the west of the city. The merchant market is mainly distributed in the eastern suburbs, and the southern suburbs and the north of the Nangong.
What Ye Xiaoyi and others are going to is the commercial area north of Nangong.
Bronze ware, silk fabric, wood, weapons, vegetables, fruits, poultry, seafood...
Looking at the bustling market, Ye Xiaoyi could clearly hear Hua Tuo's saliva.
"Balanced diet, balanced diet." Ye Xiaoyi shook his head helplessly and asked his men to buy walnuts, hawthorns, chestnuts, and Yellow River carp that Hua Tuo likes...
"Xiaoyi, you're the best for me." Hua Tuo stroked the carp's back with his white hands, and the light that only appeared when the surgery was injected appeared in his eyes.
Yes, who made me owe you in my previous life?
Ye Xiaoyi rolled his eyes and directed the servants to unload the goods at the door of the brigade.
This house called Bafangke is of medium size. The house is old but it is still strong. The environment in the courtyard is also good, so Ye Xuan and Ye Wu packed it all. Count it carefully and found that it was just enough for the people of the Ye Mansion to live in. The wealthy part could also be placed on the road by the Ye Mansion people.
"Not bad, the place is clean." Ye Xiaoyi patted Ye Xuan and Ye Wu's shoulder with a smile, praising them. She didn't ask how to make a point and eat along the way. She threw everything to her relatives. Even if the money was spent too much, it didn't matter. Anyway, it was just a training fee. Let go of what should be, and what should be seized. This is the secret of management. Looking at the towering ancient tree, Ye Xiaoyi felt that he seemed to have grown a lot along the way.
"Young Master, we want to live here forever. Do we want to rent a larger place?" Ye Long felt that living in Nilu is quite expensive. If you live for a permanent residence or use it for business, it is best to buy a place by yourself.
"No hurry." Ye Xiaoyi sat on the bamboo mat spread under the tree and said to everyone in front of him: "I'll give you five days off each person, each person's five hangouts. Whether you are alone or together, you can go out for a walk every day, and then repay all the fun, beautiful, delicious, and fun things in Luoyang City. The money must be spent, and I don't spend it all, I'm sure you haven't experienced it... Of course, this money should be enough. If you go to Fengyue Land, just pay it out of your own pocket. Master, I won't pay the bill. Hehe. Have you heard it clearly?"
"I heard it clearly." The servants were stunned for a moment and cheered. Although they also gave rewards on weekdays, it was the first time they forced to spend money. They heard that they could wander around the capital and enjoy it. They were so happy that they wanted to get the money and go out immediately.
"If you hear it clearly, go out for a walk by yourself. Remember, no one is allowed to make trouble. This is not Jiuyuan. If you cause trouble, I can't protect you." Ye Xiaoyi smiled and asked Ye Hu to send money to everyone, so that his men who worked hard with him would have fun.
"Where are me, where are me?" Hua Tuo was a hedonist in his previous life. When he saw Ye Xiaoyi spreading money like a flower, he also stretched out his claws to ask for it. Since he learned that both of them were traveling through time, he no longer had the attitude of treating his life savior at the beginning, especially when he knew that Ye Xiaoyi was the protagonist after the scene of his death that day, the grief in the corners of his eyes became even deeper.
"What are you? You don't have your share." Ye Xiaoyi looked at Hua Tuo and glared at him: "Boss, I just paid your wages in advance yesterday, okay?"
Hua Tuo shook his head and said to Ye Xiaoyi: "I don't care. Anyway, they have it, I have it. I die because of you, you have to be responsible. You have to be responsible, you must be responsible, responsible, responsible, responsible..."
Responsible? Take responsibility for you? Why should I be responsible? Meow, you joined the fun and ended up being hit by a car. What's the matter with me? I was already dead at that time, okay?
Seeing the followers looking at each other, while Hua Tuo leaned lazily on the tree trunk, Ye Xiaoyi was very urged to go wild. She didn't understand why she had met such a deadly guy, and could not beat, scold, or kill.
Mourning the Queen's life as she left, Ye Xiaoyi said with a drooping ear: "Didn't you see that the six of them are not leaving? Tomorrow, they will go shopping with me, so will you. I probably have enough money on hand."
"Oh, Xiaoyi, you have a keen eye for talent. Then let's do it. I'll go to sleep and take care of my skin. You can call me after you finish the meal. It's so tired, so tired." After Hua Tuo "instructed", he stretched his waist and yawned to go to the room to rest.
"…Young Master…he dares to treat you like this…”
Although I don’t know why Hua Tuo is so arrogant and still claims that Ye Xiaoyi died, Ye Hu and others still can’t stand it. They whispered to each other, pushed Ye Wu forward, and whispered to Ye Xiaoyi: “Or...small..."
"Don't think about it all. Protect him well."
Seeing Ye Wu and others beheading their heads, Ye Xiaoyi was almost fainting and found that these six people were even more useless than he thought.
"Yes..." Everyone nodded and asked in confusion: "Young Master, is he really reliable?"
"It should be right." At least for Hua Tuo, the only person who can say what he says and remembers his past life is himself. Should he be betrayed? Ye Xiaoyi thought about it and felt that the answer was yes for the time being.
"Since that's the case, I'll send someone to secretly monitor his behavior. Although the young master is relieved, he is not an old man from our Jiuyuan Ye Mansion after all." Ye Xuan saw that Ye Xiaoyi was not fully affirmative, so he nodded and agreed, preparing to leave a backup plan for Ye Xiaoyi.
"Oh, do whatever you want." Ye Xiaoyi looked at Ye Que and nodded in agreement when he saw him. Then he felt relieved and felt that his relatives were still loyal to him.
But when I saw these six people, I couldn't help but think of Ye Qing, Ye Bai and the other two. The two were taken away by Guo Jia, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
I don’t know how the three of them live. When they settle down, should they send someone out to find them? After all, Guo Jia is not as good as Lu Bu and the others, and they are still so powerful... How is Lu Bu doing now? Did Ding Yuan introduce him to a woman? What expression did he have when he saw the letter? Will he miss himself?
How could I think of these things? Did something remain in my heart when I was saved by Lu Bu?
Ye Xiaoyi sighed, looked at the messy goods piled up in the yard, and said sadly: "How great would it be if Wei Xu were there?"
"Young Master." When the six people heard this, their eyes dimmed. They looked at Ye Xiaoyi taking out the bloody little cloth bag and sighed softly.
"Forget it, I don't miss him anymore." Ye Xiaoyi didn't want his emotions to infect others. She put away the cloth bag and asked the six people with a smile: "What do you six have any ideas? You have also watched the way into Luoyang, and just glanced at the market. If you want to develop here, what do you think you should do?"
"Young master, I think I should do my job... I mean opening a restaurant. After all, there are no dishes in Luoyang that the young master has invented."
"Well, the ceramic business cannot be lost. Young Master, when you settle down, send someone back to Bingzhou and let them transport some special products... I don't know if those people protect the Jiuyuan Guild Hall and will the Wang family take revenge."
"With the eldest and the third young masters here, there should be no problem. After all, they are from the Jiuyuan Guild Hall, so they will not sit idly by and watch the young master be destroyed by others."
"If Luoyang is good, can you put all your business in Luoyang? The transportation here is convenient, the waterway is developed, and it is easy to transport goods."
...
"Well, yes, you continue to talk." Seeing everyone expressing their opinions, Ye Xiaoyi was very happy. Although he felt that their ideas did not have much innovation, they were at least successful. Regarding the development in Luoyang, she made plans on the road, planned to first imitate the Bingzhou pattern, buy cheap land to build a guild hall, and then purchase the residential houses and other places next to it, build large comprehensive entertainment venues, and then rent some of the shops, collect rents per week to speed up the circulation of money.
"Young master, don't just let the young people say it. You can also say it." Seeing Ye Xiaoyi closing his eyes and smiling, Ye Long stopped discussing with everyone.
"Me? I don't actually have a new idea, but I plan to build a Ye family comprehensive guild hall first. It combines food, drink, play, and fun, and combines pits, confusions, and cheats to maximize the money of the wealthy Luoyang residents." Ye Xiaoyi recalls modern entertainment facilities and store management, and thinks that Hua Tuo is very useful...
