1.52 Luoyang Golden City

Jin City is located in Luoyang City. It is located between Yongmen and Shangximen, close to a large area of ​​the city wall.

Luoyang Jinshi does not only buy gold products. The word "gold" refers to the prosperity of the market and the daily struggle of gold. Liu Bei mostly moved in and out of the inner city to move in the east of the city. He only went to the west garden where His Majesty sold his official positions in the west of the city. He also entered from the Xiamen Gate in the north of the city. There was a Wanshou Pavilion in front of the Xiamen Gate. When His Majesty arrived in the capital, Empress Dowager Dou and his party took over here.

This time, the car drove from Shangdongmen to enter the city. Go south to Kaiyangmen Street, then turn to Zhongdongmen Street, heading west, crossing the two palaces in the north and south to cover the road, and arrive at Jinshi, Luoyang.

From Emperor Guangwu’s carriage to Empress Dowager Dou’s Wanshou Pavilion to welcome the new emperor. Luoyang City, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, has been in Luoyang with all the powerful people in the world. The scale of the city has been expanding for two hundred years.

Inside and outside the city, the production and life of the people are also constantly enriched and refined. Therefore, when Luoyang City was first built, it was divided into functional areas and managed. The central axis of the inner city was mainly palace areas. It was divided into detailed around the Sangong Mansion, Taicang, the treasury, the commercial area, the mansion of the powerful, etc. The north and south palace cities should be the political center.

The main structure of "city" and combined with handicraft workshops and commercial districts of residents form the well-deserved economic center of Luoyang City.

The gold market is the first to be hit. The daily trading volume of gold is not enough to describe the daily trading volume of gold market and the commercial value it creates.

How to understand the ‘city’.

In Liu Bei's view, the city is first of all, an open and closed space. The city has a gate and a city building. Every day, the drums are beating and gold is closed. There are shopping streets in the city. On both sides of the shopping street, shopping malls are built. Temporary stalls can be set up outside the shopping malls for hawkers to sell.

The shop is a courtyard, and most of them are one-entry courtyards. The front building, the left, the right annex, and the back building are connected by walls. The heavy building is mostly three floors, with front and back flat seats. The front building is used for business, the back building is used for accommodation, and the annex on both sides is servants, servants, or handicraft workshops, and the raw material warehouses are different.

This is the layout of the wealthy merchants in the city.

Medium-sized businesses are similar to the slums in later generations. The four floors in the middle, south, west and north of the courtyard, each with one building. The gate of the courtyard and the walls are all demolished. The left and right roads are crossed and can pass through the north and south. The former courtyard immediately became an open small square. The four shopping malls in the square also occupied one piece and built into temporary pavings. People came and went, and it was very lively.

The fourth floor can occupy one building, which is considered to be a middle-class level. Each floor occupies half of each floor, either four, six, three, seven, two, eight, or three, four, five, and so on, it is a middle-class level. Whether it is middle-class or middle-class, it is called a merchant.

There is another type, there is no fixed business store. Most of the storefronts are rented and there is no home-born craftsmanship. They often travel around the country and sell at a low price. This type is called a traveling merchant. It can be simply understood as a "traveling merchant". "Guanzi·Seven Ministers and Seven Lords": "There were spring and autumn, so the valley was rich and humble, but the upper level was not lewd, so the traveling merchant was able to rely on its roots."

In addition to traveling merchants, there are also hawkers, which are mobile small vendors who walk around the streets or set up stalls in every market.

The rich merchants, merchants, travelers, hawkers, and hundreds of workers' residences have worked together to form the "city".

The biggest difference between Luoyang Jinshi and ordinary cities is that this is the Dahan International Trade Center.

Most of the rich merchants in the city come from foreign countries. They are sold from famous products from all over the world. There are even species from all over the world. Elephants, rhinos, camels... with the accents of various countries, mixed with the rushing tongue sound, gathering into a roaring sound. The mixed aroma released by famous products from all over the world is smashing towards them.

The new arrival Liu Bei and his party were instantly submerged.

Various turbulent places, characters, local accents, slang, famous products, famous products, different outfits, different appearances, and different shouts are dazzling.

Nowadays, merchants also know how to gather together to keep warm. Every shopping street sells a certain product. Its functions are similar, but the differences in texture, decoration, and style. All Han and Hu are there. Hu clothes and Han robes are intertwined, simple and luxurious. Silk shoes and leather boots are intertwined, and leather hats and crowns are rubbed.

The dark eyeballs meet the colorful pupils.

Three strands of beards faced with two curly beards.

The buildings on both sides are very different, but they are extremely harmoniously unified under the imperial capital Luoyang.

Liu Bei came here just to stroll around. He asked about the news of deer skin bags and sprinkled gold powder, and a hero secretly carried out the news.

There are also Hu Ji’s wine shops in Jinshi. Unlike Hu Ji, who are all sabbaths. Hu Ji in Jinshi wine shops mostly come from the Western Regions. Yesterday, I made an appointment with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others to meet here. I didn’t like to associate with the sons of Yuan Shao and other aristocratic families, so my two brothers went to play. The elegant seat upstairs, under the protection of Shi Huan, a team of embroidered officials, Liu Bei found a place to face the street and sat down.

Today is just a break.

Cao Cao did not need court discussions and had free time all day.

The reason why it is so urgent is to strike while the iron is hot. Whether it is the soil of the stolen hole or the Tuyuan Quhe, which has only become lighter recently, it shows that Liangji Jinshan has only been stolen recently.

Just imagine why an old case twenty years ago has been quelled for many years, but it has been dug up recently? The precise site selection and the secret methods must be prepared. As you can see in the cave, the entire cave top is full of rocks. It is almost impossible to break from above. The mountain is steep and there is no place to settle down. It is difficult to dig from the middle of the mountain, but it is difficult to work. Only digging from the foot of the mountain to the inside of the mountain is the best choice.

The question is, how can the thief accurately find the cave in the stretching mountains of nineteen miles?

There is only one possibility. This person must have a deep connection with the late General Liang Ji. Otherwise, it would be impossible to know such secrets.

In order to preserve the secret of Jinshan, Liang Ji did not hesitate to kill more than ten people including Hu Shang and a group of people. He was so strict that such secrets were not known to his closest relatives.

Could it be that Liang Ji still has descendants?

This guess is one of them.

Why choose to rob the tomb at this time? It is the second reason. Such a huge mountain of gold is transported by gods and ghosts. It must be a theft gang with clear division of labor. Similar to a gang committing crimes and exposing the law, there are roughly two possible ways to commit crimes.

Uneven distribution of the stolen goods, careless sales of the stolen goods.

If the money is not revealed, it will be easy to be exposed if you take out the stolen money and spend it.

Uneven distribution of spoils, even internal strife in gangs, chaotic deaths and injuries are likely to leak news.

In fact, in Liu Bei's opinion, burying the news and watching the changes is the best strategy. But for some reason, Yuan Shao, especially Cao Cao, was so urgent.

Is it just because of the feelings of youth?

Although Yuan Shao and others are people with temperament, they are not so innocent.

Just like Da Changqiu and the Minister of Shangshu Ling Cao Jie, it is hidden and unpredictable. Liu Bei felt that Cao Mengde also had a secret related to Liangji Jinshan. Compared with the whereabouts of Jinshan, Liu Bei wanted to know more about Cao Mengde's obsession came from.

"June." He was secretly ecstatic when he suddenly heard someone greeting in front of him.

When I looked up, I looked up. I was slowly leaning back from behind my long sleeves. I was Dr. Li Ru, who had not seen for many days.

"It turned out to be Dr. Li. I haven't seen each other for many days, but everything is fine?"

"If you have any trouble, the king will worry about it. Everything is the same as before, and nothing is different." Li Ru bowed and replied.

"Please sit down quickly." Liu Bei stood up to greet him.

"Thank you." After Li Ru bowed, he took off his shoes and took his seat.

It is different from the elegant seat improved by Liu Bei.

At this time, the two of them sat opposite each other. There was no case in between.

There is a vertical screen behind the couch, and the case is placed in front of the couch. The lacquer plate, ear cup, wine spoon and other items are placed on the case. A lacquer bottle is placed in front of the case. If you are at home, there will be seven young ladies holding spoons in jade, scooping wine from the bottle and serving diligently. In the Hu Ji wine shop, you can only pour and drink by yourself, or the lower ones will do it for you.
