Vol 2 Chapter 612: Soochow Envoy

"This ... is Chang'an City?" Outside Chang'an City, a team of people stopped here, staring at the magnificent city wall in amazement. Although they had also seen Yuehan, Jiangling, and Xiangyang City in Jingzhou, but Compared to Chang'an, those cities are also rare hard cities, but compared with Chang'an City in front of them, they are a bit less bold.
The young people who led the team looked at the magnificent city in a complicated way.
Inside the spacious city gates, there is a lot of traffic, a team of business travelers either go south, or come into the city from the south, farther away, where the rails converge, a series of dozens of rail cars either drive in, or fast go awap.
In recent years, Emperor Liu Chan of Han Dynasty did not use sword soldiers anymore, but began to vigorously develop the Han economy. Shuzhong and Yizhou have been harvesting year after year. This way, along the way, the sight of the city is full of prosperity, and people are unconsciously yearning for it. In comparison, Dongwu today feels like a remote village.
It is said that the big Hans have been operating the Western Regions in recent years. Even if they are in Jingzhou, they can see that the people of the Western Regions with high noses are doing business everywhere. The fluent Mandarin can at least allow people to communicate.
Just about to travel, I saw a team of horses in the distance, the first general, the white horse and white robe, the waist rod sitting on the horse's back was straight, but just walking here, it gave people an unspeakable voice. Oppression.
"Last general Zhao Guang, but in front of Soochow's envoys?" The comer Cema came to the front of the team, turned over and dismounted, and joined hands with a loud voice.
"Exactly, under Gu Tan!" The young man turned and dismounted, bowed to Zhao Guang with a bow and said: "Jiu Wen General Name!"
Zhao Guang served as General Annan a few years ago, defending the Lujiang River, and fought several battles with Cao Wei. He won many defeats but was quite famous in Dongwu.
"Zi Mo's name, I have heard of it for a long time." Zhao Guang nodded and said with a smile: "The end will be ordered to meet you, please follow me."
"General Labor!" Although it represents Dong Wu, in front of Zhao Guang and other leading figures in the strong generation of the great Han, Gu Tanke did not dare to ask him, and after bowing down to pay the ceremony, he took the horse to the city.
"He has not yet been introduced to the general. This is the son of Ziyu Gong, Zhuge Ke." Gu Tan introduced Zhao Guang to the slightly fat young man beside him, laughing.
The relationship between Zhuge Jin and Dahan is quite deep, not only the brother of Zhu Xiangliang, but also the biological father of Zhuge Qiao.
Zhuge Qiao has also established a firm foothold in Dahan in recent years. Now he is Ting Weicheng and is in charge of prison. The most important thing is that Zhuge Qiao is the son-in-law of Liu Yi, the Han Dynasty. Obviously kind.
There was a sentry at the gate of the city. Looking at the famous tiger-backed soldiers lined up in two lines, the queue was uniform, and Gu Tan couldn't help but praise: "True ... Tiger Tiger Wolf too!"
"They?" Zhao Guang glanced at the defenders and smiled without answering.
Seeing this, Gu Tan was a little surprised: "The general seems to disagree?"
"Now the Han military system is different. After the soldiers become soldiers, they will be sent to the north or northwest. After experiencing the battlefield, they are eligible to be called the tiger and wolf division. Having been on the battlefield, I am not qualified to call it elite, not to mention the Tiger Wolf? They are not worthy. "Zhao Guang said with a strong confidence in his words.
After several years of development, the Han Dynasty ’s military system has become more and more perfect. Although it is still a military recruitment system, it is based on academy, so it is mainly voluntary, and it will not compulsorily recruit troops. , Children can go to the academy to study, there are pensions after the war, even if there is no money, there are still many people who are willing to join the army. Tens of thousands.
The recruits will be sent to the front to take over the veterans after they have patrolled the cities and patrolled for a period of time, and they will be baptized on the battlefield. The Hans have been fighting Xianbei every year for many years.
As a general of the Dahan, there is such a strong country behind him, and this country is growing stronger step by step in their hands. Zhao Guang has reasons to be confident.
Gu Tan nodded. Soochow actually had a similar policy. In recent years, in order to supplement the population and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, he fought against Shanyue every year. During these years, Sun Quan has been committed to southward development and achieved good results, but compared with As far as the big man is concerned, there are some little witch who see the big witch.
A group of people entered the city, and the prosperity of Chang'an City shocked Gu Tan and Zhu Geke.
The wide and flat roads are lined with bustling shops on both sides. They are basically two-storey rows of neat shops. The street is enough to accommodate eight cars in parallel. Behind the shops, there are tall buildings. The five-story building is in this era. It is indeed a tall building. The whole Changan feels very neat. Most buildings, whether paving or residential buildings, are of uniform specifications. There is a striking building at every street junction. There are blue buildings, there are Restaurants, inns and teahouses that have only emerged in recent years.
Dahan ’s fried tea is favored by celebrities no matter in the Wei Dynasty or Dongwu, but it is generally collected in Dongwu. It ’s like Chang’an. It ’s almost impossible to imagine in Dongwu. In Dongwu, it is calculated on the basis of two, even if it is a big family, not much can drink every day.
"Brother Ding Guo, this ... how come there are so many people in the teahouse?" When passing the teahouse, Gu Tan couldn't help but ask, what was precious, how could anyone feel like drinking it?
"Recently there are special tea fields in Jingzhou, Yunnan and other places. This thing may be precious outside, but in Changan, it is really not a rare thing. It is worse, and ordinary people can drink it. Of course, the top grade is very good. Expensive, ordinary, you can buy a catty for a hundred dollars. "Zhao Guang thought about it.
A hundred dollars, a catty! ?
Gu Tan and Zhu Geke's eyes widened and they looked at Zhao Guang inconceivably. Are they really talking about the same thing?
"This thing is very expensive in Dongwu?" Zhao Guang looked at the two people puzzled. He was not too good at the economy, and these things were also resold by the merchants themselves. The court only collected taxes, but not too much for these consumer goods. More interference, but the technology is strictly confidential.
Gu Tan and Zhu Geke met each other and smiled bitterly. Gu Tan thought to Zhao Guangdao: "It is tomorrow to call the emperor. Can I wait in the teahouse first?"
"Since this is the case, I will accompany the two." Zhao Guang nodded. This time he was responsible for receiving Soochow's envoys. Since the other party wanted to go shopping, he would not refuse.
He ordered the two men to take them to rest, and Zhao Guang took them to the teahouse first.
"General Zhao, it's been a long time in the future." The owner of the tea house saw Zhao Guang coming in and smiled and ushered the three in.
"A pot of ... good tea, and then some pastries, to find a quiet place for us." Zhao Guang laughed, he didn't like tea very much on weekdays, his father liked it, but he and his elder brother didn't care about it So passionate, not too particular about tea.
"Okay! Please follow me, three." The other party nodded and greeted the three on the second floor.
The design of the tea house is quite elegant, with a cloister style structure. No matter where you sit, you can have a panoramic view of the entire tea house. There are dedicated musicians playing musical instruments. The melodious music flows like gurgling water in the entire tea house. The location of the window, looking at the traffic on the spacious street outside the window, made people feel like a world away. The whole person's spirit seemed to be washed again. The two people who were originally servant in the wind and dust now had a new feeling.
And sitting in the teahouse and looking out, the scenery is different from what you see on the street, it is another feeling, people have to lament the ingenuity of the designers of Changan City.
Looking at the street scene outside the window, Zhuge Ke shook his head and sighed. At that time, Liu Bei was beaten by Cao Cao. There was no place to stand, and he was like a dog for the family. Now that it has developed into such a behemoth, Soochow can only rely on his breath. He understands why Sun Quan was so deliberately wanting to capture Jingzhou. Nowadays, Dahan can no longer be threatened by Soochow.
"Brother Ding Guo ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Gu Tan looked at Zhao Guangdao:" But I don't know, who designed and built this Chang'an City? "
Nowadays, the whole world is quite popular with craftsmen. Sun Quan has assembled capable craftsmen in these years, whether it is shipbuilding, architecture, or weapons. Because there are templates of Tiangongfang and research on Tiangong Kaiwu, progress in these areas has not been small.
"Naturally is Sikong." Zhao Guang looked at the two with some doubt: "Two don't know?"
"Naturally is known." Gu Tan nodded bitterly with a smile, and now Liu Yi is not a nameless pawn, even regarded by many craftsmen as the ancestor-like figure: "Just not thought that this city was designed by one person. "
"The disciples of Si Kong also participated." Zhao Guang thought for a moment.
"Disciple?" Gu Tan's eyes lit up, looking at Zhao Guangdao: "Sikong also has disciples?"
"Naturally, there are disciples in all counties now mostly disciples of Sikong." Zhao Guang nodded, and disciples of Liu Yi's affairs were no secret. What's more, what could be said, given the prosperity and living conditions of today's great Hans , A few are willing to give up the great living conditions of the big man and go to Wei or Wu?
In these years, I have only seen famous craftsmen from all over the world come here. I have n’t seen any one of Dahan ’s artisans run away, let alone Liu Yi ’s disciples. As long as they are Liu Yi ’s disciples, they are basically the characters who are fighting for each other.
"The two went to Sihai Pavilion for a while and took two to Yilan Pavilion at the end of the evening." Looking at the refreshment, Zhao Guang smiled at them.
"Yilan Pavilion?" Gu Tan frowned: "Qinglou?"
His tutor cautioned that although this year's Yueqinglou was not too unbearable, or even a place where many scholars were vassal, he rarely went.
"This is not an ordinary blue building, and you will know when you arrive. Come to Chang'an. If you don't go to the Yilan Pavilion once, it will be considered white." Zhao Guang laughed.
