On the wide official road, a group of people were talking and laughing happily.
Among them are Lu Bu and Ren Hongchang who are going out to make up for their honeymoon, Xie Ying and Lou Gui who have an excuse to have a little love with their little lover, and of course Wang Rong and Gongsun Ying who want to enjoy the sweet time. At the same time, there are also some who have serious thoughts
, but apparently also began to enjoy the thank you letter of life.
No matter what little thoughts everyone had, at least they were chatting and the atmosphere was good at this moment.
At the beginning, everyone was also discussing where to go. Anyway, there were talks from east, west, north, south, China or abroad, and a small debate was held for this purpose.
In the end, Xie Xin decided directly: "The closest to Nanyang is Luoyang. Although it is dilapidated, it is still the old capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is good to go and have a look!"
The one who called the shots had spoken out, and naturally the other followers had no opinions. So the goal was set, and everyone headed north, straight to Luoyang.
"Speaking of which, isn't Nanyang a little too prosperous?" Along the way north, seeing the constant flow of merchants, Lu Bu couldn't help but become curious.
"Nanyang has undergone several transformations. Not only have farmers' lives become much better, but the industry and commerce have also developed more or less due to repeated encouragement. It's not surprising," Xie Xin answered casually.
"Is this also called more or less? I always feel that today's Nanyang is much more prosperous than Chang'an and Luoyang before!" Lu Bu said with emotion.
"The main reason is that Nanyang has a good geographical location. It leads to Jingbei and Runan to the south; to the west, you can go to Yizhou on the Shangyong side; to the north, you can reach Luoyang; and to the east, you can reach Xudu and Yanzhou.
As an important commercial and military hub, Nanyang naturally occupies a vital position in this well-connected place.
Thinking about it, if it weren't for the strong soldiers and horses under Brother Huang, and the behemoth Xie Bian behind him, the most important thing is that the other princes are powerless, otherwise I am afraid that Nanyang would have been in constant war." Xie Xin also looked at the scenery on both sides.
Said with emotion.
"Haha, we are all outsiders, so why are we talking about the secular world again?" Xie Ying laughed.
"It's nothing surprising. Your father is not the dean of Huaxia Academy yet?" Lu Bu pointed at the thank you letter and said.
Then he turned around and asked Xie Xin: "Speaking of the leader, you are obviously the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, the largest sect in the world of Chinese cultivation. Why are you wasting your time and doing a job in the secular world?"
"If I say that my official position is the dean of the academy and my deputy position is a monk, would you believe it?" Xie Xin asked.
"Stop joking, okay?" Lu Bu obviously didn't believe it.
"So, I won't waste any time talking to you." Xie Xin smiled and turned his head.
"No, is it true?" Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but secretly doubt it.
No matter what, the group spent three or four days talking and laughing and successfully arrived in Luoyang, the former capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At this moment, Luoyang has gone through a fire caused by Dong Zhuo, and the city has long been turned into ruins. Only the slightly blackened city walls can explain what a majestic city it was before.
Speaking of this, I have to mention Zhong Yao, who served under Cao Cao.
Since he became the governor, this man has spent a lot of effort in rebuilding Luoyang.
It took him three months to clean up the ruins; and then it took him more than half a year to accommodate more than 3,000 refugees to settle here; after completing the infrastructure construction, he took advantage of Luoyang's geographical location to learn
Three giant comprehensive markets have been built in Nanyang, which are much larger than those in Wancheng.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Luoyang has initially regained its popularity thanks to the method of reassuring the people through industry and commerce. There are more than 30,000 officially settled residents and more than 20,000 floating households. Restaurants, markets, theaters, schools and other facilities have also been improved.
.
As for the palace, it was not completely destroyed. After several years of repairs, it has restored a bit of its former grandeur. This guy also has a good business acumen. He opened the palace to the public, and of course he charged admission.
At the same time, he also threatened that half of the income would be used as repair money to repair and maintain the palace. As for the other half, it would be sent to Xudu and handed over to Emperor Xian Liu Xie as internal funds. Of course, after it was collected, Liu Xie
It is not clear whether the money that is collected with or without cooperation will go into Cao Cao's pocket.
"To be honest, I actually like this feeling very much..." Xie Xin said while looking around.
"How does it feel?" Wang Rong asked with a smile.
"For example, if you are given a piece of open land and you build on this basis, it will feel like building a huge city from scratch." Xie Xin thought for a while and said.
"Haha, no wonder you, Xinlang, chose to be the dean of the academy. From private school to school, and from school to academy, step by step, you turned what was once a small private school into the largest academy in Han Dynasty." Gongsun Ying said with a smile.
"Although there are other purposes, what you mentioned is also the main reason." Xie Xin said sheepishly.
"Huh? The former Imperial Palace of the Han Dynasty is actually open to the public! One hundred coins per person? So expensive!" Wang Rong suddenly shouted.
Her cry also attracted everyone's attention, so they all looked over.
No, a lot of people lined up to enter the palace. Although the words are ambiguous, the scene of entering the palace is indeed very powerful.
"One hundred coins, for a group of twelve of us, don't we have to pay 0,200 coins? It's too expensive!" Gongsun Ying complained.
"It's not expensive. After all, it's the place where the Emperor of the Han Dynasty lived. If it's cheaper, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the Han royal family? According to me, five hundred coins per person is enough." Xie Xin said with a smile.
.
"That's right!" Gongsun Ying nodded blankly.
"Go in and take a look?" Xie Ying asked excitedly.
"My good daughter has spoken, let's go in and have a look!" Xie Xin didn't feel bad. Anyway, money and other things were no longer something they needed to feel bad about.
After paying the money at the gate, everyone walked in directly.
"Yes, Luoyang has recovered quite well since the fire burned down." Xie Xin looked around and said.
"Has father been here before?" Xie Ying asked curiously.
"Well, I've been here a few times before. Of course, I always don't go through the main entrance!" Xie Xin whispered.
It turned out that he came to Luoyang Palace to be a thief...
Everyone who understood the meaning of this sentence complained in their hearts.
In a blink of an eye, the group of people arrived at the main hall, which was once the place where Emperor Ling and his ministers discussed politics.
Probably because of the greater significance, the restoration was more serious and faster. Although it cannot completely restore the majesty and majesty of the time, it has been restored to a good extent.
"In the past, Emperor Ling was here to listen to the performance of his ministers!" Cao Lingtian came to the superior's side without fear and looked at the corpse on the ground.
There was no such thing as a dragon chair at this time, and even the emperor had to sit upright. So the report was a bit long, which was a complete punishment.
It’s no wonder that these days, emperors must be concise when listening to memorials, and the reporting time cannot be too long. At the same time, why are there a large number of emperors who don’t want to go to court anymore...
Looking at the happy faces of the few girls admiring them everywhere, Xie Xin couldn't help but secretly regret it. It would have been nice if he had a camera to take pictures and souvenirs.
In the blink of an eye, the group of people moved to the harem.
At this moment, Xie Xin felt a hint of momentum that surprised him.
Dragon energy? Yes, this is indeed dragon energy!
The Han Dynasty has been weakened to this point, but there is still dragon energy in Luoyang Palace?
Xie Xin slowly realized the vague aura, and couldn't help but murmur secretly in his heart.
Could it be that God did not intend for the Han Dynasty to perish?
