Chapter 17 Opportunity Comes
Zhou Yafu had made up his mind and said more. Zhou Yang sighed and said goodbye. Walking on Chang'an Street, Zhou Yang was unhappy. It seemed that if he wanted to change his fate of destroying his family and dying, he was not as simple as he imagined. He had a long way to go. This matter could only be done one step at a time.
"Young Master, why don't you go to Yangyue Tower to have fun?" Liu Tie reminded Zhou Yang, who was in a depressed mood.
Yangyue Tower is the largest gold-selling cave in Chang'an. It has the best food, the most mellow wine, the most beautiful singing and dancing, the most beautiful women, and the place where princes and nobles, wealthy businessmen and tycoons often go. Zhou Yang was also a frequent visitor here, and he was fascinated by the singer-songwriter here, and he wanted to support him at the cross-mountain for five.
"If you don't go, go to the East City." Zhou Yang doesn't like this kind of place of romance. He slapped his hand in his palm and patted it lightly, and the appearance of a common man in the civilian was really like that.
"Don't go?" Liu Tie was a little surprised.
"There are nine cities in Chang'an and six cities in the west, and merchants gather in the three east cities. Let's go and see if you can buy some treasures." Zhou Yang had long heard that the three east cities were a gathering place for merchants, Chang'an, and the most prosperous trading place in the Han Dynasty. Now he is in a bad mood, so he is just going to relax.
Zhou Yang walked in his head, and Liu Tie followed closely. Zhou Yang packed up his worries and admired the charm of Chang'an in Han Dynasty. Chang'an was founded in the reign of Emperor Gaozu, and it has only been decades since its creation. Although it is far from reaching the level of prosperity and liveliness of Chang'an in Tang Dynasty, it should not be underestimated.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, shouting and hawking, people coming and going, and traffic is crowded, and it is a lively scene. Zhou Yang seems to have returned to the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, and he is full of praise.
Walk east along Shangguan Back Street, and soon we arrived at Dongcheng City. There are three cities in the East City, distributed on both sides of Shangguan Back Street, covering a very wide area. From a distance, you can see people rushing and bustling. I don’t know how many of them are, even the large markets in modern society are just like this.
More than two thousand years ago, there was such a developed trade in Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, which was really well-deserved! If it weren't for personal experience, Zhou Yang would have thought that historical books were exaggerated.
"The Han Dynasty is far from reaching its peak. In the next Hanwu era, the Han Dynasty's civil and military achievements will reach its peak. How prosperous will the Hanwu era be? If I inject vitality into it, what level will the Hanwu era reach?" Zhou Yang's heart flew up, and the blood on his body tended to boil.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! This person is mine!"
"You are two thousand stones, and I am two thousand stones too. Why give it to you?"
A fierce quarrel woke Zhou Yang up from his thoughts. When he looked closely, he found that two rich children were competing for parking spaces. There was a parking lot in the east city with a large area, and the vehicles were already full. At first glance, there were all kinds of vehicles, which could be called the Han Dynasty auto show.
"Swish!" The slightly taller aristocratic family sneered and pointed at the car of another aristocratic family: "You only have a red banner, and you still have two thousand stones, aren't you afraid of losing people? I think you are not even a thousand stones, at most 600 stones. Come on, tow his car away. If you don't allow it, you will smash it!"
"No!" A group of servants responded with a loud bang, pulled out their weapons, and were about to smash the car.
"You dare!" The former family of the aristocratic family was angry: "Come on, smash his car."
Another group of servants agreed with a loud voice, holding weapons in their hands, and the two sides confronted each other, and no one was willing to give in.
The struggles between children from aristocratic families are common in Chang'an, so they gathered around to watch the excitement and guided them. Zhou Yang was not interested in this kind of struggle between children from aristocratic families and was about to enter the market area to take a walk. He heard a loud neighing sound and a four-horse cart rushed towards him quickly.
Those onlookers dodged one after another, and they were knocked to the ground if they dodged slowly. The carriage had no intention of staying, and rushed all the way. Behind the carriage, a group of servants holding Han swords were surrounded by them. The Han swords in their hands smashed in a burst, and the crowd screamed.
"What a strait!" Zhou Yang's memory has the memory of Zhou Yang bullying others by virtue of his power, but it is much worse than the situation in front of him.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, a human head was hung on the window: "Did you get out of the way, or did I ask someone to smash it?"
"So it's Brother Li!" The two children of the aristocratic families who were still fighting immediately changed their smiles, came up, and said respectfully: "Of course it's Brother Li!"
"Hurry up, give up the seat!" The two of them roared at the servants at the same time. The servants rushed to the side and gave up the parking space.
The man who is called Brother Li is about sixteen or seventeen years old. He looks good, has bright eyes, looks like pink, wears a Jinxian crown, wears a gorgeous deep clothes, and always has a corner of his mouth. You can tell at a glance that he is a child of a noble family.
"Brother Dou, Brother Han, I'm not polite!" Brother Li waved his hand and the carriage slave drove over.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Brother Li walked out. Brother Han and Brother Dou reached out to support him. They ignored their identities and started to do a servant.
Brother Dou jumped down with the help of the two, glanced around, stopped his eyes on Zhou Yang, and his lips curled up higher: "A white Ding!"
Liu Tie was about to step forward to argue, but stopped Zhou Yang. When the children of aristocratic families met, they liked to compete. Whoever had a higher official position, whoever had a larger salary, whoever had a strong carriage, and whoever had a grand style... and so on, it was common. If they were angry with them, the dead would be angry and they would not be angry.
If it were in the past, if the person surnamed Li said this, Zhou Yang would have long sacrificed the prime minister's reputation and ate him tightly. Zhou Yang ignored him. Liu Tie was a little surprised and had a little more praise in his eyes. People who only know how to compete all day long will not be able to do anything!
"Brother Han, Brother Dou, accompany me to visit. Today's expenses are mine." Brother Li was very hospitable, and a hint of cunning flashed across his face.
Brother Han and Brother Dou looked bitter: "Brother Li, we have urgent matters, we have to go back first and choose a date to accompany Brother Li."
"Hmph!" Brother Li snorted coldly, and the two of them shuddered: "You really have something to do?"
"Yes...no, it's okay!" The two of them quickly changed their words.
"That's good. Go with me and you will be invincible for the benefits." Brother Li said a lot and was about to enter the market surrounded by the two of them.
"Stop!" Several stout Youzi quickly walked over and stopped them. Youzizi was an official in charge of public security in the Han Dynasty, equivalent to the current patrol police.
"Did you call me?" The child surnamed Li was very arrogant: "You don't even ask who I am, and you dare to block my way!"
"No matter who you are, if you hit someone, you have to go back with us." Yu Zi, the leader, was not polite.
"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Xing. If you have any questions, go to Daxing's mansion and say it." Li Xing's arrogance has not diminished but increased: "If I am not in the mansion, I will study with the prince in the palace. You can come to the palace to find me."
He whispered the prince at once, and pretended to be powerful. He was not only shameless, but also arrogant and outrageous.
No matter how courageous You were, he didn't dare to provoke the prince. His face turned blue and his voice trembled: "Young Master Li, these people are injured..."
"How did they hurt? I beat them?" Li Xing played a scoundrel.
You Zi wanted to speak but couldn't speak, so he was stunned for a moment. Zhou Yang saw it and sighed inwardly. If Zhidu knew about this, I wonder what he thought?
"I'm going my way, who told them not to be blind and blocked me? I didn't settle the score with them, it was a bargain." Li Xing turned his back on the raid.
Those injured dare not speak out, but only think that they are unlucky.
Birds of birds gather together, and birds are divided into groups. Although Zhou Yang had never seen Prince Liu Rong's face, just from Li Xing's actions, he knew that Liu Rong was not a good bird and could not become a good person. Unfortunately, Zhou Yafu was determined to protect the prince and even took over the Zhou family.
