Chapter 379 Yique Town

Yique is located in the south of Luoyang and on the banks of Yishui. It was originally a county, but in the fifth year of Xining, the county was abolished and established a town. It was fifty miles north of Longmen Town, Nandamen, Luoyang, and other places. It was the only place to pass into Luoyang. After Wang Xiaoli defeated Wushu here, he built a new city and strangled the road to the south of Luoyang.

Yique was the outpost where Wang Xiaoli confronted Meng Bangxiong's forces, and there were 3,000 heavy troops stationed. While blocking Meng Bangxiong's forces from moving south, it also guarded the door for Zhai Xing. Now, all south of Yique are owned by Zhai Xing, giving him a chance to breathe.

When he arrived in front of Yique City, Zhang Jun said to Yu Nu: "Although this place is small, it is now a confrontation outpost, which is not ordinary. Along the banks of the Yi River, there is a military city first, and the people are not allowed to enter. After passing the military city in the north, they enter Yique Town. You must be careful these days and do not cause any trouble. The military control here is, if you really cause trouble, I have no choice."

Yu Nu sneered, "What trouble will we make for? Take care of yourself!"

Zhang Jun shook his head, without saying much, and led everyone into Yique Town.

Although Yique was still a town, the city wall was built at this time, which was larger than many county towns. The town was on the west bank of the Yi River. The north wall was ten feet away from the wall of the military city, and the city gate was not opened to the north. Guests from the north had to pass under the wall of the military city and enter the town from the east gate or the west gate. After entering the town, there were first two watchtowers on both sides of the road, and fifty soldiers were stationed on each watchtower. After walking dozens of steps, there were shops.

Walking on the road, Yu Nu looked at both sides and said, "Oh my God, I have walked through many places and haven't seen such a strong guard."

Zhang Jun said: "You believe it now? Let me tell you that in addition to our people, there are also people from Zhai Zhenfu. There are endless business trips, as well as the fine works of Meng Bangxiong in the north, and even the fine works of Liu Yu and the Jin people. The dragon and snake are mixed, and they are not comparable to other places."

Yu Nu said, "Why are you constantly traveling in business? No one comes from the north, how can you come in with a quick work?"

Zhang Jun laughed when he heard this: "It's really a woman's opinion! If you cut off your business trip, where can you make money? As long as you are careful, why not be afraid of doing it in detail! I don't know how many elite soldiers and generals are afraid of in this Yique Town!"

In terms of status, Yique is actually somewhat similar to Xiangcheng, which trades in the west. However, Zhaixing is on the south and Dongxian is on the west. There are mountains on both sides of the Yi River, and the situation is much more complicated than Xiangcheng. The business trips passing here are not as good as Xiangcheng, but there are countless detailed works.

After walking dozens of steps, the front suddenly became clear. There were shops on both sides of the street, and there were many pedestrians on the street. Some vendors were carrying baskets, while others were pushing cars, selling goods among the crowd. It looked like this, it was as lively as in Xiangyang City.

Yu Nu looked around and said strangely: "The way he just entered the city is just two different worlds! How could it be so clear in the same city? I don't look panicked when I look at the streets."

Zhang Jun said: "The front is solemn, preparing for war. The noise inside is a normal market. I will get used to it after living for a long time."

In the past two years, Zhang Jun has become accustomed to this kind of life. He led the way and walked forward. When he arrived at Longmen Inn, Zhang Jun said: "We stayed in this inn during our days in Yique Town. Don't go far, just remember to return to the inn, and there will be no peace."

Yu Nu looked at the inn and was very clean and the storefront was not small. However, there was no servant in front of the door, and it looked a little deserted. He said, "There are not small but no servants to greet each other. The door was not gorgeous, and it didn't look like a businessman."

Zhang Jun smiled, ignored her, and walked straight in.

The name of Longmen Inn was taken by Wang Xiao. It is not because Longmen Town is not far ahead, but because of movies I watched in my previous life. In areas near the border, there are Longmen Inns. Unlike other inns, these Longmen Inns are under the jurisdiction of Wang Ruohai’s Jiyi Hall. Generally, it is required not to show off the mountains and not to show off, mainly to provide residence and information for the personnel under their jurisdiction, and not to make money as the main purpose.

After entering the inn, there were more than 20 tables in the lobby below, and there were only three tables of guests. At the counter, two servants sat together, talking and laughing, not knowing what they were talking about.

Zhang Jun coughed, and a servant hurriedly got up and ran over quickly.

Zhang Jun said: "It is best for us to have three clients connected together, not to separate them."

The servant said, "Just relax, please feel free. In Yique Town, we have a number of inns and there are enough rooms."

While talking, Zhang Jun and others were asked to register at the counter.

In this era, staying in a hotel is the same as in later generations. You have to register your name at the counter, where you are from, the reasons for coming here, and how many days you have to stay. The registered account books must be submitted to the government for inspection regularly.

Zhang Jun and his friends had already thought of pseudonyms and the like, and registered them one by one, and led them to the backyard by the servant.

Pointing to the three wing rooms connected by the pomegranate tree, the servant said, "Call, the three houses are just connected by the same place, so how about living here? It's close to the front, so you can greet me if you have something to do."

Zhang Jun looked around and saw that there was nothing special, so he nodded in agreement.

Zhang Jun and Wang Gan, Lu Cheng and Liu Jing, Yu Nu naturally had a room with Pingping. After the house was divided, the servant fought with hot water. He pointed out the location of the woodshed and the kitchen to Zhang Jun, and said goodbye and left.

At this time, inns must have wood, stoves and stables for raising livestock. Many guests bring their own rice to cook, and there must be wood and stoves in the inns. Needless to say, the stables are the same as the parking lots in later generations.

The servant left, and Zhang Jun went to the Yunu's house. He called out Yunu and said, "I'm going to see a friend tonight. Liu Jing is in the inn. He either cooks by himself or goes out to eat, you guys. Just remember, don't cause any trouble."

Pingping said: "I see this town is very lively. Let's go out to eat and see what's delicious here."

Yu Nu said, "You love to play! We are serious about it, why are you wandering around?"

Just seeing my sister's pitiful look, I had to agree.

Zhang Jun ignored them, took Wang Gan and Lu Cheng out of the inn, and went straight to Wutong Inn not far away. After entering the inn, he gave the servant five copper coins and asked him to call Yu Huan who lived here.

This was all agreed upon. It took not much time for Yu Huan to come out in a hurry and said, "Brother, I'm walking very slowly on the road, so let me wait!"

After saying that, he pulled Zhang Jun out of the inn. Seeing that it was getting late, he went to the Chunfenglou Restaurant next to him.

The two entered the pavilion and asked Wang Gan and Lu Cheng and Yu Huan's entourage to sit down. Soon, the servant came to drink and drink.
