Chapter 117 Chang'an City (seeking a monthly ticket)

"Hahaha~~~ I have you provided the explosives/pharmacy. With a bang, Li Gui was scared to death. This guy surrendered honestly." Li Xueyi walked over with a laugh and said with an excited look on his face.

Li Yu quickly corrected: "How could it be provided by me? It was provided by the old man with white beard!"

"Yes! Yes! It's the white-bearded old man, and it has nothing to do with you, Li Yu."

After Li Xueyi finished speaking, he said with a sad look again, "But Li Yu, His Majesty sent people to ask where the explosives/drugs came from, and now I'm almost annoying to me."

After hearing this, Li Yu suddenly became furious.

"If they ask you again in the future, you will say that if you dare to ask for something that does not belong to you, if the explosives suddenly explode in the palace, don't blame others." Li Yu's tone became colder. When he heard Li Xueyi's words, he knew that they wanted to make the explosives/pharmaceutical formula, and they were simply ungrateful.

When Li Xueyi heard Li Yu's words about bombing the palace, he was immediately scared. Today he finally saw what it means to be brave. He was so scared that he said in a hurry: "No! No! My God, if those bombs and medicines exploded in the palace, how many people would be killed or injured?"

"Hmph! Don't think it's an emperor or a prince. It feels very awesome. I'm unhappy, so I'll blow up all the palaces for them so that they don't even have a palace. In the future, I will tell them to ask about the bombs and medicine again and you will be responsible for the consequences." Li Yu warned without hesitation.

"Okay! My grandfather, I will tell them from now on that the old man with white beard said that he would dare to inquire about the explosives and throw them into the palace." Li Xueyi said quickly after hearing Li Yu's words. He would never dare to mention the explosives and medicine again.

In fact, the explosives/pharmaceutical formula was given to them. According to the current technology and production equipment of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty could not produce it within a hundred years. Even if they knew that they could not produce it, Li Yu had no intention of being abusive to them and had any plans to compromise with them.

What's more, do you need to compromise with them?

Li Xueyi did not dare to mention explosives anymore, but said happily: "This time I made great contributions, and was appointed as the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and promoted the title of Duke. All of these were for me. Let's go to Chang'an and I'll invite you to drink."

"General Zuo Xiaogu!"

Li Yu knew that the Tang Dynasty used the system of government troops, and the General of the Sixteen Guards led the government troops from all over the world, combining the government troops with the imperial guards into one. When there was no war, General Zuo Xiaogu could manage the three thousand troops to guard the capital. If there was any war, Li Xueyi needed to use the identity of General Zuo Xiaogu, he could completely sit in the position of commander, gather the troops of the Chongzhe Mansion under his command, and lead a large army of a legion, and also fight alone.

This is a position that truly holds great power and possesses real power. People who hold such positions in the Tang Dynasty were generally held by ministers trusted by the emperor. It was quite difficult for a child to achieve such a high position. However, after thinking about it, I realized that Li Xueyi, as a slave of the Li family, must be loyal, and it is normal to promote it with credit.

Li Yu thought about Li Xueyi's latest official position and asked casually: "Then can you lead as many soldiers as the princess now?"

Li Xueyi shook his head quickly and said, "I am a false position. Now I am still the focus of being a deputy to the princess in the Detachment of Women."

After hearing this, Li Yu was very happy for Li Xueyi, he smiled and said, "I said why are you so generous today? It turns out that you have been promoted and made a fortune. You must treat you!"

Li Xueyi patted his chest and said without hesitation: "Chang'an Zuixianju, how about the Western Region grape brewing? I know you don't like drinking the white wine here. I've asked some time ago where there are Western Region grape brewing."

"Okay! Wait for me, I'll go back and explain to Fei'er." Li Yu said and headed towards the direction of his home.

When Li Yu returned home, he told Li Fei'er about going to Chang'an, and handed over the two medium-sized storage bags to Li Fei'er and Li Chun. Regardless of their exclamation and joy, he came out to go to Chang'an with Li Xueyi.

………

Speaking of which, Li Yu has been traveling to this era for several years, and he lives near Chang'an City, but this is his first time to come to Chang'an City. Therefore, he also has great expectations for this legendary historical capital. Now they went to the legendary Zhuque Street first. As a result, when they saw this street about dozens of feet wide in ancient times, Li Yu was shocked. Although it was impossible to compare with the city in the cultivation world, it was quite difficult to see such a wide street in the secular world.

This should be the widest road in this era!

It's almost noon now, and Zhuque Street is already very lively, and there are endless pedestrians coming and going. Unfortunately, there are no shops on both sides of the street. Li Xueyi introduced the structure of Chang'an City. Business can only be done in the shop or in other fixed areas. Business is not allowed in other places.

After listening to Li Xueyi's introduction, Li Yu nodded slightly and said, "A city should be planned and arranged in this way, otherwise it would appear that a city would be messy."

I rode my horse along Zhuque Street to Leyefang, then turned west and walked for a while, and finally came to the legendary West City. Chang'an City has two professional commercial workshop areas, namely East City and West City. Most of the people living near East City are powerful families, so they mainly deal with various luxury goods, most of which are jewelry, calligraphy and painting and other shops.

Soon after, Li Xueyi accompanied Li Yu to Xishi, known as Jinshi. This was also a huge and closed market. Xishi, like Dongshi, is located a little north of the center of Chang'an City, and the two cities cover a roughly the same area, but in terms of traffic flow, the Eastshi is still far from comparable to Xishi.

Xishi, which occupied the two yards, has thick rammed trunk walls. The trunk walls are 1 meter thick, with more than two miles from north to south. The entire western city covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 acres. In the late Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty and the early days of Daye, it was the most prosperous time in the West City. At that time, there were more than 220 industries in Xishi, and it was said that there were more than 40,000 fixed shops.

Now this place is not only the most prosperous commercial district in Chang'an, but also the largest commercial center in the world.

As soon as I entered the commercial street in West City, I saw people flowing on the streets, and there were all kinds of shops and restaurants.

Li Yu smelled the strong aroma of wine on the street, and the smell was very familiar.

Li Yu sniffed it carefully for a while and immediately knew that this was the special smell of distilled liquor. He looked at Li Xueyi and smiled and said, "How can you be familiar with the smell of Xueyi? It seems to be the smell of distilled liquor?"

After hearing this, Li Xueyi looked at Li Yu in surprise for a while and said, "You are amazing! You can know what kind of wine it is based on the smell of wine. This is a small portion of the wine brewed by the Princess Mansion for sale. Otherwise, the money will always be a little nervous when such a large Princess Mansion and the other courtyard."

As he spoke, Li Yu saw a striking tall building in front of him, with a wide foyer and luxurious decoration. It seemed to be a restaurant.

Even on this bustling street, this restaurant is very outstanding and eye-catching.

There is a plaque "Zuixianju" hanging on the main entrance of the restaurant, which is quite interesting. It turns out to be the same as the restaurant he has been to in Qingzhou. Li Yu doubts whether it is a chain hotel.

The restaurant is in a very good location. It is noon now and it is the time to eat, but the business is good. There are more than a dozen people gathered at the same table in groups of three or five.

"Customer, please come in!" The waiter saw Li Yu and Ma Sanbao coming in, and quickly welcomed him enthusiastically.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the two went to the lobby on the second floor. The layout here was quite exquisite. The table was screened and the potted plants were separated. It was very quiet, and there were actually many private rooms.

The waiter followed the two of them and asked quickly: "Do you want a private room or a lobby?"

"Let's go to the hall!" Li Yu said without waiting for Li Xueyi to speak. He also wanted to see how the lifestyles of the people in Chang'an are different from those in the future.

After hearing what Li Yu said to the waiter, Li Xueyi asked: "Why should we go to the private room to eat? The private room looks quiet, right?"

Li Yu immediately said, "No! The private room is too boring, I don't like it, let's have a meal in the hall!"

"Okay! You are a guest today, I will listen to you."

"A bucket of grape brew from the Western Regions, is it a dish? Follow the best one in your store." After the two sat down, Li Xueyi directly ordered.

After a while, a table of exquisite wine and dishes and a bucket of Western Region grape red wine were served.

Li Xueyi gave a string of copper coins casually and asked him to leave.
