After Becoming a Taoist

   Chapter 363 Versailles Literature

   "It's not too good!" Yaya sat on the ox cart and looked at the surrounding houses. In fact, apart from the imperial palace, it should be a low house or a low house, and it should be an earthen house or an earthen house.

  Not all the people living and working in peace and contentment at the foot of the capital, especially now that there are many wastes waiting to be rebuilt, although under the governance of Prince Jiancheng, the people's hearts are attached, but to say that the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, it was really not this time.

   "Where do we live?" Li Dandao asked the old man Xiang: "Isn't Kunlun Nu Songyan learning etiquette here a few years ago?"

   "Don't worry! I won't tell you to sleep on the street." The old man skillfully turned the carriage to a poor alley.

  Chang'an City was divided into residential areas by squares. Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty followed Qin Shi Huang's example to build the Efang Palace to flood the nobles of the six countries and built Daxing City. Of course, Chang'an City sounds better, after all, it has been the capital since Qin and Han Dynasties.

   It is called Xi'an now, and I still don't feel very good.

  Chang'an in the Sui and Tang Dynasties has an area of ​​84 square kilometers, which is 2.4 times that of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty. The palaces, streets, and workshops have their own plans. They follow the feng shui layout of the law, the heaven and the earth, the emperor is respected, and the hundred officers are in the service.

   It can be said to be the first giant city in ancient times.

   Among them, there are thousands of households and a lot of traffic.

  Unfortunately, Sui, like Qin, died in the second generation.

  Chang'an City has 11 streets from north to south and 14 streets from east to west. The residential area is divided into 110 squares, some say one hundred and eight squares, and its shape is similar to a chess board.

   Therefore, after Li Dandao entered from the north gate, he saw Daxing Palace, and he basically couldn't recognize the way. Of course, it was his first time here.

   "The person who planned the city is a master." Li Dandao muttered.

  I don't know where the old man is going to drive the car.

  Li Dandao took the opportunity to ask Xiang Li Fude, "When is your Taixue tutoring, uncle?"

   "It should be the next few days. Some of my classmates have already set off a few days ago." Li Fude pondered.

  Li Dandao took out the fox fur blanket with the true shape of the Five Sacred Mountains: "I heard that there are many evil characters in the exams. I'm jealous of you literary students. During the exam, you often move your hands and feet, and the bad guys get results."

"This blanket is the hair that fell off from my virtuous fox friend. In addition, my mother found an exquisite female worker to arrange the spinning thread bit by bit and weave it. There is also a real figure of the Five Sacred Mountains on it, which is blessed with divine power and can be protected. You are still warm."

  Li Fude knew that Li Dandao had prepared such a gift for him.

   sighed: "A fox fur is worth thousands of gold, and it is a piece of fur. I never thought I would have the opportunity to enjoy such a treatment."

Li Qishi looked at the sky and was about to ask the old man when he saw an old man coming up to him: "Old coffin! I'll be waiting for you in the morning! It's only here! If you're in the army, don't you? Hit you with a dozen military sticks!"

  The old man smiled: "Not only did I bring my son here, but my grandson and daughter-in-law all wanted to come to the capital to see it, so I brought more things with me."

   said to several people: "I have seen you Uncle Chu."

  Li Dandao saluted again and again.

   This person is called Chu Tianxing. He was a colleague of the old man, a friend in the army, and a soldier on the stove.

   The last time the old man brought his uncle to Beijing, he was staying at his house.

  The old man of Chu, and the old man were originally soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, but they were released later. When they were recruited at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they were recruited again, and they came under the name of Li Jing.

  Because he was too old, he did not meet the requirements of running the army, and the older he got, the more slippery he became. He just wanted to save his life, and fighting was still a burden. In addition, the old man injured his lungs, so he did not go back for a long time.

   Grandpa Chu went back with the old man in the same batch, but the old man was a veteran, and he was even more of a veteran. He was injured in a handful of times in battles, mixed with collective skills, earned his seniority, and became a centurion.

   After he came out, he started a small business and gradually made a fortune. He took care of his brothers' widows and children. He was a kind person.

   "Good! Good! The descendants are prosperous!" When the old man Chu saw Li Dan, Li Yaya liked it very much: "It looks really iconic, and it looks like an old coffin when you were young."

   While chatting, the two old people drove the carts, horses and cattle into a yard: "Your children and grandchildren are also good, but they are not as good as mine."

  Li Dan said listening, he felt laughing, the older he got, the younger he got, this damned desire to compare.

   "Yes, yes, the old coffin is all powerful in your family."

After finishing speaking, he showed off: "The previous owner of this yard went south to do business, so I took the opportunity to sell it. It was originally purchased by the butler of the nobles of the Sui Dynasty. Tim,"

   "In addition, the yard is more than three acres and nearly four acres. Guess how much I paid for it?"

  Li Dandao also pricked up his ears to listen, the housing prices in Beijing will definitely get higher and higher, the sooner you buy, the sooner you get promoted.

  The old man's eyelids drooped: "500,000."

"That's right!" Old Man Chu said, "It's not too bad, I'll get 485,000 yuan." Old Man Tian smiled and said, "After two years, I won't sell it if I don't have one million, I'll give it to you first. , you see, old man, I'm not funny enough."

   When I entered the yard, I realized how big it was. Although some of them were not taken care of, the grass grew out in the spring, and there was a cold and desolate feeling, but it was really good.

   Mr. Chu led a few people to the inner room, which was similar to a courtyard house, in the shape of a zigzag, with seventeen or eight living quarters.

  The old man asked someone to clean up the two rooms, without the ones brought by Li Qishi, and also boiled hot water.

   Li Dan whispered to Li Fude: "Grandpa, this old comrade-in-arms is definitely not just as simple as going to the battlefield. I suspect that they have visited prostitutes together. Otherwise, it is impossible to have such a good relationship and live in a big villa for us."

   Li Fude didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and ignored Li Dan.

   "It's still less popular." The old man said, "Aren't you going to find some people to come and live?"

   "They are all used to living in a large courtyard. They are neighbors to each other. They cook and eat together. They can't even be called. My house is just next door, with a large courtyard of more than ten acres, so I can't live here."

   Good guy, Li Dandao, listen, he feels like Versailles, he is so rich, and he has a lot of money for several suites in the capital.

  Li Qishi observed: "This yard is good, and I can usually grow and eat a la carte."

"Don't talk about growing vegetables, I still have a few acres of land in my yard, chickens, ducks, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and I eat fresh every year, so I don't have to go out to buy! Home doesn't matter much."

   "Originally, those grains were only used to make wine, but later they were not allowed to make wine, so they kept it. How could you think that the price of food would be so expensive in the future? Instead, they asked us to eat enough."

The old man Chu complained: "There was an earthquake a few days ago, and there was a panic. I haven't been out for a month. If it wasn't for the old coffin, I would feed the chickens, feed the ducks, and walk around the yard a few times. It's been that way."
