The horse hooves of Yan Xingde and others hit the soft land, making a silent sound.

It has been raining one after another in the past few months. Therefore, the court had previously exempted Sikong Liu Hong from the position of the third minister, and several people in these three ministers had changed. However, the natural disaster of long-term rain and flooding still did not disappear. A few months ago, the river broke the ridge and caused a heavy flood, and the people of Guizhou around the ridge suffered a disaster.

There is Beimang Mountain in the north of Luoyang as a natural embankment barrier, and there are Luoshui River in the south of the city. The two rivers of Yishui River provide flood discharge. In addition, they are at the foot of the emperor, and the river channel is unblocked and the maintenance of the embankment has not yet fallen. This long-term rainy weather has not brought much disaster to the dense people living around Luoyang.

On this Luoshui River, which has increased due to the long rainy weather, the water volume has increased, that is, the southern suburbs of the Kyoto Luoyang, in addition to the construction of important cultural and ritual places such as the Taixue, Mingtang, Lingtai, Soochow, and the country, there is also a Hongde Garden and a large city in Luoyang's southern city.

The land near the south suburbs of the city is close to Luoyang, Kyoto, with convenient transportation and water sources, which is conducive to farming and irrigation. Therefore, the population is denser than the western part of the city where the royal gardens are dense. Along the way, scholars with high clothes and high crowns, nobles with bright clothes, farmers with coarse cloth and short clothes, wealthy merchants with silk and satin may be furious, or squeezing deer carts, or walking with heavy loads, and constantly coming and going. When they were close to Nanshi, the bustling and dense scene of the capital with a striking cart and shoulders was fully visible.

Ma Lin rode on the horse and straightened his burly body. Whenever there was a fragrant cart passing by, he would shout loudly and look at himself. Ganling and Yan Xing also looked envious of these wealthy scenes. Zhou Liang came here once or twice after coming to Luoyang. In addition, due to his literati, he was calm. However, whenever there was a fragrant cart from a powerful family passed by, he couldn't help but look at the slim figure in the curtain like Ma Lin, which triggered many reverie.

Yan Xing could understand the performance of these subordinates around him. They were either native people from the border or poor men who were poor. In the past, they naturally had infinite imaginations of Luoyang Kyoto in the heart of the Central Plains. Now they have seen the legendary wealth and honor of the capital with their own eyes, and naturally they have envy and amazement in their hearts.

For example, Ma Lin is aggressive and likes to show his mighty martial arts in front of others. Zhou is good-looking and has many imaginations about the female family members of those powerful families. Although Gan Ling and Yan Xing are not like Ma Lin and Zhou Liang, when they see the prosperity of the powerful and powerful in the world, they still feel ashamed of themselves while feeling shocked.

The Silk Road opened by Zhang Qian has been silent nowadays. There are wars and natural disasters in Hexi, Longyou, Sanfu and other places to varying degrees. After his rebirth, Yan Xing naturally did not see much about the prosperity of this era. This is also the first time he has experienced the prosperity of the Central Plains in this era. Fortunately, he has an eye from later generations. When Yan Xing saw all this, he did not lose his composure like others.

I just thought about what I thought and saw when I looked down on the palace on Beim Mountain. What emerged in my mind for a moment were war and civilization, power and wealth, destruction, rebirth and reality, and the disappearance of heroes and romantic people.

Recently, everyone was moved by each other and finally came to the middle of Nanshi City in Luoyang. As a big city, Nanshi has a special city office in charge, and a group of officials including mayor, city chief, city fox, city sect, etc. have also set up a group of officials in charge of the affairs of Nanshi City. The gate of Nanshi City, the city building with bells and drums are also stationed in important places such as city guards.

After Yan Xing and others entered Nanshi one after another, they asked Zhou Liang, who had been here once or twice, to lead the way in the front. They were quite familiar with each other and rushed to the largest tavern in the city.

The city is divided into multiple trade zones, with many merchants, and shops covered with black tiles on both sides of the road are divided into categories, such as mulberry, hemp, silk, cloth, etc., fish, salt, fruits, fruits, etc., and horns, fur, feathers, etc., and other poultry, livestock, lacquerware, bamboo and wood, etc., and bulk such as jade, tortoiseshell, jewelry, copper and tin, etc., are arranged and arranged in a place, and birds of birds gather together, giving people a sense of orderly planning.

Of course, this is just that the shops are neat and orderly. On the road, there are mostly bustling crowds, and the noises are generated by the crowds. Among the shops, merchants and customers who come to buy goods are vying for price, open-air stalls, and the shouts of the merchants sitting on the ground are noisy and loud, and the sounds are buzzing.

Yan Xing and others' horse speed became slower and slower. Later, they simply got off the horse and led the horse. After passing through the most lively and noisy crowd, they took a turn and came to a wine shop in the south of the city, which was swaying and crowded with wine shops.

After the people tied the horses to the horse-tie stake outside, they entered one after another.

At this time, the morning markets such as fish, salt, fruits, fruits, etc. in the market have begun to dissipate and gradually calm down. However, the bustling place of the lunch market like the wine shop is just right. Many huge merchants who have made a fortune spend a lot of money here, just seeking to get drunk, or the heroes who are angry at the Lilu call friends and drink with each other here. Of course, there are also some students who are studying in the capital, officials who take leave and rest, soldiers, and powerful and wealthy people who are on vacation and outings come here to drink.

After Yan Xing and others entered the restaurant, the soap-clothed bartender who was moving forward to receive the reception. With a smile, he took Yan Xing and others to a couch in the lobby. After smiling and giving hot soup to these guests, he began to quickly introduce the wine and food Jiarou in the store.

Yan Xing and others were all fighting men in the army. Although Zhou Liang was a scholar, he was not a family of scholars and officials. Naturally, he did not have the temperament of "eating fine food and fine meat". What's more, Yan Xing and others walked around half of Luoyang City, and their stomachs were hungry. So Ma Lin, Ganling, Yan Xing and others ordered many meat and Xinfeng wine. Zhou Liang originally wanted to order fish sashimi, but thought that most of the martial artists here were good wine and meat, and such exquisite dishes were a bit unsightly. So he hesitated for a while but pretended to be reserved and did not speak. At the end, Yan Xing saw that Ma Lin and others had already ordered many meats in a hurry. After he smiled and ordered some seasonal fruits and vegetables, he asked the bartender standing beside him to leave.

After a while, wine, meat, fruits and vegetables were on the table one after another. Yan Xing sat on the table and looked at the interior of the wine shop. The interior layout of the wine shop was also quite exquisite, with colorful patterns on the pillars of the hall, and the wine shops in the front hall were also decorated with colorful patterns. Each table was neatly arranged, separated by exquisite screens, and even the mats on the couch were gorgeously decorated. In contact with this wine shop in a densely populated area in the downtown area, it occupied a wide area. Combined with many factors, it can be imagined that this place is like a wine shop home with a lot of gold every day and a deep backstage.

Since the Salt and Iron Conference in the former Han Dynasty, the economic policies of the official business of wine and salt and iron were relaxed. In this dynasty, the trade of wine and salt and iron was completely relaxed, allowing private trade and trafficking, and the state used it to collect taxes. Although the dynasty had a "ban on drinking in groups", due to frequent natural disasters and poor food, the Han Dynasty once banned alcohol in many places, but the drinking style was still popular. From high-ranking officials to peddlers and barracks, all liked to drink. And this kind of wine shop with a good geographical advantage can be crowded, and behind it is naturally the background of human harmony. Only powerful families of powerful families are striking for it in the dark, such wine shops that make money every day can survive in the downtown Luoyang.
