Datang romantic little landlord

Yu Shinan nodded in satisfaction, and was supported by the old servant Yu Da to board the bullock cart and return to Chang'an.

Li Wangyou, who was secretly plotted by Yu Shinan's master and apprentice, knew nothing about it. He went to the county government stable to borrow horses, and led the three horses out of the county government office, which made the eyes of the two Niu brothers shine.

"Dalang, Erlang, you know how to ride a horse?"

Li Wangyou didn't get any answer to his question, but Niu Yong and Niu Wu brothers each chose a horse, stretched out their hands to stroke the horse's neck a few times, and then jumped on the horse's back gracefully.

Even Niu Yong, who had only one arm, didn't hesitate. With one arm lightly supported on the saddle, he sat firmly on the horse's back.

"Xiao Lang, you were still breastfeeding when our brothers charged into battle on horseback, haha." Niu Wu said with a big grin.

Li Wangyou looked at the extremely skilled movements of the two brothers, and secretly scolded himself for talking too much.These two turned out to be the special forces of the king of soldiers, members of the white army, they must be skilled in bow and horse.

On the contrary, he himself was a white-collar worker in his previous life and had never ridden a horse before.However, the original owner of the body can ride horses, horseback riding, archery and sword dancing, which are all necessary skills for nobles and literati in this era.

This is why he dared to ask Yang Zuan to borrow a horse.

However, when he actually stepped on the stirrups, Li Wangyou realized that riding a horse was not as simple as he thought!

According to the method in memory, stand in front of the left shoulder of the horse, hold the rein in your left hand, and raise your left foot to put on the stirrup...

But he didn't want the horse to struggle uncomfortably, almost knocking Li Wangyou to the ground, making him very embarrassed.

Seeing him, the Niu family brothers sitting on horseback couldn't help laughing.Niu Wu got off his horse and walked to Li Wangyou's side.

"Grab the rein and the mane with your left hand, so that the horse's body can be fixed so that it does not move around. Jump with your right foot on the ground, and at the same time hold the stirrup with your left leg, and turn around to get on the horse..."

After some guidance from Niu Wu, Li Wangyou finally sat on the saddle.

"Haha, Xiao Lang, you need to practice more on your horse riding skills." Niu Yong laughed.

Li Wangyou was ashamed and did not defend himself, the three rode out of the city slowly and trotted towards Chang'an City.

On the way, Niu Wu rode his horse and galloped several times, running back and forth on the road from Hu County to Chang'an several times.When the horses under his crotch were sweating, he took the reins and came back at a canter.

"Haha, have fun! I haven't ridden a horse for many years."

Li Wangyou could tell that the Niu family brothers were also horse lovers, and they probably would rarely have the opportunity to ride their horses like this after returning to the fields.

In that Dingzhou village, there were no bad horses pulling carts, and only old cattle plowing the land in the village.

Elites like the Niu family brothers have not had the opportunity to ride horses for more than ten years, and I am afraid that they are really aggrieved.Just like the racing drivers of later generations have no chance to touch the steering wheel of a car, it is a very painful thing.

After all, Niu Yong had a broken arm, and Niu Wu was one or two years older, so he had a much calmer temperament, but the horse steed followed Li Wangyou leisurely.

After a short walk, Chang'an City is already in sight.

In his memory, the former owner of his body had been to Chang'an, but when Li Wangyou saw this fantasy capital, the most powerful city in the world, the shock still left him speechless for a long time.

The 12-meter-high city wall can't see the edge at all, like a barrier that can never be captured.

Chang'an City, composed of Outer Guocheng, Palace City and Imperial City, covers an area of ​​about 87 square kilometers, which is roughly half the size of the third ring road of Xi'an in later generations.

The width of Waiguo City from east to west is about twenty miles, which is equivalent to Li Wangyou walking from Dingzhou Village to Huxian County.It is about seventy miles long from north to south, which is basically the distance from Huxian County to Chang'an City.

There are more than 100 million people living in this majestic city.

You must know that it was in the Tang Dynasty. More than 1000 years ago, there was no more majestic city in the world than Chang'an.Chang'an is seven times larger than Constantinople at the same time, and even the most famous ancient Roman city is only one-fifth of its size.

In Chang'an City, there are fourteen avenues from east to west, and eleven avenues from north to south, which divide the whole city into [-] lifangs of different sizes.The entire Chang'an City is horizontal and vertical, just like a chessboard.

Li Wangyou was stupefied for a moment, and a voice echoed in his mind for a long time - dreaming back to Chang'an!

I also traveled to Xi'an in my previous life, but Chang'an at this time is not comparable to Xi'an in later generations.

The outer city wall of Chang'an is divided into four directions: east, west, north, and south. There are three gates in each direction, and there are twelve gates in total.They came to Chang'an from Hu County, and they went through the Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City.

Mingde Gate is also the gate of Chang'an City. Other city gates have three gates, while Mingde Gate has five gates.

The so-called doorway is the doorway opened on the city wall, and a thick city gate is installed.Although Mingde Gate has five doorways, only the small ones on the left and right sides are passable.

They set off from Dingzhou Village early in the morning and arrived in Chang'an at noon, and there was already a long queue waiting to enter the city for inspection at the gate of the city.

Li Wangyou looked curiously at the queues, including caravans composed of mules and horses, and even Western Regions caravans riding camels.Li Wangyou was dazzled by the fair-skinned, yellow-haired, blue-eyed Hu merchants and the hot Persian singers.

After queuing for a long time, the city guards inspected the public inspections of the three of them, and finally entered Chang'an City.

"Xiao Lang, where are we going now?" Niu Wu asked, they didn't know exactly what Li Wangyou had come to Chang'an City.

"Go to Chongrenfang, first find a place to live."

Entering the city from Mingde Gate is the Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an City.

The Zhuque Avenue running from north to south is a standard central axis of Chang'an City. It connects the Chengtian Gate of the Palace City, the Zhuque Gate of the Imperial City and the Mingde Gate of the Outer City, and divides Chang'an City into two parts that are symmetrical from east to west. Nian County and Chang'an County in the west.

The pavement of the street is paved with blue bricks, and there are three or four meter deep drainage ditches and street trees on both sides of the road.

This avenue that runs through Chang'an City made Li Wangyou dumbfounded, it's so fucking wide!

Are you sure this Nima is the main street of Chang'an, not the airstrip?

The 150-meter-wide Suzaku Street is beyond Li Wangyou's cognition.A driveway on a modern road is three meters wide, and 150 meters is equivalent to a fifty-lane road in later generations, which can be called terrifying.

The Zhuque Avenue in Chang’an City is the widest, followed by the streets corresponding to other city gates. The standard width is 120 meters, and the ordinary street is also 80 meters wide. It can be described as spectacular and imposing.

Zhuque Avenue is different from other streets. There is a road with a width of tens of meters raised in the middle of the road.

This Tang Dynasty is actually the same as the later generations, the traffic rule is to pass on the right side. Volume [-] of "Tang Yulin" says: "Humanity respects the right, and the right is respected." Although the wide streets are full of traffic, they appear to be orderly.

On the wide Suzaku Avenue, there is a turmoil of people, and there is an endless stream of missions and caravans from various countries;

For a moment, Li Wangyou was bewildered.

When entering Chang'an City, there was a drizzle in the sky, Li Wangyou looked at everything in front of him, and a poem popped up in his mind.

The rain on the Tianjie Street is as crisp as the grass, but the grass color is far away but not close.

The most important thing is the one-year spring benefits.

Han Yu's "Early Spring Shows One of the Eighteen Members of the Ministry of Water" describes the beautiful scenery of Chang'an City in the early spring light rain.The Tianjie in the poem is just another name for Zhuque Street.

Riding on horseback, Li Wangyou lost his mind for a moment, murmured the poem, but heard a man's voice beside him.

"Good poetry, what a little rain on Tianjie is as moist as crisp! This gentleman has a good literary talent!"

Li Wangyou turned around in astonishment, but saw beside him at some point a young man in a fine attire riding a fine horse, with a sword on his waist, looking at him excitedly.
