At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted
Chapter 21 Luoyang, the top metropolis
Three days later, the outline of Luoyang City appeared in the eyes of Liu Zhang and others.
Liu Zhang was born in Nanyang, followed Liu Yan to Jizhou, and never came to Luoyang.
As the political and cultural center of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang has reached its peak after more than a hundred years of development.
At that time, looking at the whole world, it was also the top metropolis.
With a population of over one million, there are many powerful families, and high-ranking officials such as the San Gong and Jiu Qing all live here.
Here is the symbol of power and status!
With Luoyang backed by Mount Mang and facing Luoshui, the situation is very dangerous.
Luoyang City is close to four kilometers from east to west, north to south, and covers an area of about 12 square kilometers.
There are twelve gates on the four walls. There are distinct areas in Luoyang City, and each city gate leads to a different area, so you can't walk around at will.
As the political center, Luoyang City has two palaces, the North and the South. There are very prosperous economic activity centers, namely Jinshi, Mashi and Nanshi.
There is also a unique cultural area.
As the political center, the palace occupies the main position in the urban area. It is divided into the South Palace and the North Palace, all of which are located in the central area.
Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu lived in the South Palace, but since Emperor Liuzhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty, the North Palace has been expanding.
After extensive repairs, the palace is majestic, with high gates and magnificent momentum.
Moreover, Beigong occupies the most favorable terrain in Luoyang, and until now, it has been the political center of Luoyang.
The prosperity of Luoyang is even more reflected in the economic zone. Among them, Dashi, also known as Jinshi, is located in the west of the city, next to Beigong, and is the only market in the city.
The horse market is on the main road outside the east gate, forming a symmetry with the gold market.
Nanshi is on the bank of the Luo River in the south of the city.
The three cities all occupy favorable geographical locations and their business is booming.
Luoyang's cultural district is very unique.
It faces the city wall in the north and Luohe River in the south, so the geographical environment is very superior. Taixue, Piyong, and Mingtang are all here.
Luoyang City made full use of the favorable terrain between Mangshan Mountain and Luohe River, and built the imperial palace on the high ground.
The market stands tall, the streets are spacious and straight, the residential areas are orderly, the layout is neat, and it is magnificent.
Ships and vehicles are sold in all directions, and abandoned houses are stored in the capital.
This is Luo Yang!
Although Liu Zhang was outside the city, he had a panoramic view of the outline of the palace, and couldn't help clenching his fists.
Can I sit in that position in my life? Liu Zhang asked himself a question in his heart.
Liu Yan is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and the official occupies a high position in Jiuqing. The mansion is near the upper east gate near the North Palace.
It was Liu Zhang's first visit to Luoyang, and he didn't dare to walk around casually, so the three of them made a detour to the east and entered through the upper east gate.
Luoyang's spacious streets still stunned Liu Zhang and Dian Wei.
The street is about 40 meters wide, and three parallel roads are separated by earthen walls, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Liu Zhang is okay, after all, he came to the next generation, and he was just secretly surprised by the abilities of the ancients.
Dian Wei is a farmer who rarely leaves his one-acre three-point land, and has never seen a city of this size.
Tai Shici once came to Luoyang and gained insight. Looking at the way Liu Zhang and the other have never seen the world, they are a little proud.
When Liu Zhang came to his house, he couldn't help becoming nervous.
"I left home when I was ten years old. I was still in Jizhou. I don't know if my parents are healthy or not!"
"And Yan'er..."
Thinking that he and Cai Yan had been separated for five years, his thoughts suddenly surged.
Standing at the door, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door of his own house.
After all, I am also a second-generation official, and I still have to knock on the door when I get home. Liu Zhang thought a little self-deprecatingly.
After a while, a young servant came out of the door. Seeing Liu Zhang's extraordinary clothes, he asked, "What's the matter, my lord?"
The servants didn't know him, so Liu Zhang shook his head helplessly.
"I'm Liu Zhang, go and report quickly."
The boy nodded and said yes, and hurried back to the house.
After a while, the door opened, and Liu Yan walked quickly, and at the same time, a woman's excited voice came.
"But Zhang'er is back?"
Liu Zhang stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of Liu Yan and his wife, kowtowed and saluted.
"I am not filial to Zizhang. I have not served my parents for many years, which makes my parents worry about me."
His mother Fei quickly helped Liu Zhang up.
"My son needn't be like that. Mother is very well."
Liu Zhang got up and looked around, but he didn't see Cai Yan, so he felt a little worried.
However, he still respectfully shouted to Liu Yan: "Father."
Liu Yan nodded at Liu Zhang, showing a satisfied smile.
"Zhang'er, what is this?"
Liu Yan saw that Liu Zhang was still bringing two people with him, so he asked aloud.
"Father, this is the child's new guard. Tai Shi Ci is Zi Yi, Dian Wei is Evil!"
Liu Zhang introduced the two to Liu Yan respectively, and then introduced his parents to the two.
"Ziyi, evil, these are my parents."
The two bowed their hands together and saluted respectfully.
"Master Liu, Mrs. Liu."
"You don't have to be polite."
"It's evil, it really lives up to its name."
Liu Yan was shocked by Dian Wei's image, and couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of the name.
Liu Zhang nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Dian Wei's character was taken by me!"
"It's exhausting, butler, arrange for the guests to rest."
Liu Yan watched Tai Shici and the two being taken away by the housekeeper, and brought Liu Zhang back to the house.
"Brother Huang has written to me about your situation in Beihai. He is full of praise for you."
Liu Yan was very clear about Liu Zhang's situation in Beihai. Huang Wan was a man of high moral character, and Liu Yan was very happy with his approval.
Liu Zhang didn't look happy, but said neither humble nor overbearing:
"Uncle Huang won the award, and my son just did what he was supposed to do!"
Liu Yan nodded in satisfaction, this son is still so humble and polite!
"Aren't the three brothers here?"
"They are all working in the palace now."
"It's almost time to apply, and it will be back soon."
Mother Fei looked at the sky outside and guessed that they were already on their way home.
Liu Zhang didn't have much contact with his three elder brothers. He made full use of his time since he was a child, and hardly cultivated his relationship.
I gave Cai Yan all the spare time, and then went out to study for five years, and now I mostly don’t recognize him when I see him.
"Mother, where's Yan'er?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Zhang hurriedly asked Cai Yan about his situation. It stands to reason that Cai Yan would definitely come to greet him.
Seeing the tense Liu Zhang, Fei couldn't help shaking his head.
"Yan'er misses you day and night, but I didn't tell him you're back. Go find her yourself."
Liu Zhang let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at Liu Yan.
"Father, Yan'er and I..."
Liu Yan laughed, knowing what Liu Zhang meant.
"Don't worry, I will propose marriage for you when brother Bo Jie comes back to be your father!"
"Thank you father!"
