The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 9 Li An enters Chang'an

"Mr. Li is really thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, why would Huatian Village not know how many people would have been injured.!"

In a grain drying ground in Huatian Village, torches illuminated the grain drying ground. There were six corpses placed on the grain drying ground. Among these six corpses, the horse bandit boss was worth 25 guan, and the other five horse bandit corpses were worth [-] guan. .

I will go to Chang'an City tomorrow and deliver it to the Chang'an County Government Office. The money will be distributed soon.

Liu Xiatian knew that it was Li An who turned the tide and killed the horse bandit boss directly, and then prevented a big battle from starting. No one in Huatian Village was injured, which made Liu Xiatian very grateful to Li An.

At this time, Li An smiled and said to Liu Xiatian: "Uncle Liu, this is just a small effort for me. You don't have to do this. If Huatian Village hadn't taken me in this time, I wouldn't have known where to spend the night, and brother Fang Zi also agreed. I took me to Chang'an East City. To be honest, I am grateful. If there is anything I can do for Huatian Village, I will definitely do it."

"Dad!" After Li An finished speaking, Liu Fangzi came over and said excitedly: "You were not in front of me just now. Mr. Li is really awesome. Standing in front of the horse bandit, all he heard was 'pop'... There were six sounds of ''pop'' pop''''pop'', followed by six hidden weapons, and Mr. Li shot them out.

Immediately, the leader of the horse bandits and his five horse bandits fell off the horse. Mr. Li really didn't show his true identity! "

"Okay...!" Liu Xiatian was pleasantly surprised when he saw his son's words of praise for Li An. Afterwards, everyone talked for a while and then began to go back to their homes. However, in order to prevent the horse bandits from killing him again, they arranged People are on night watch.

Just a whole night without words,
Waiting for the next morning, the horse bandits last night did not fight back. It seemed that they were really frightened and ran away. Liu Fangzi got up early and started to hitch the carriage. It turned out that Liu Fangzi was the one today. One person accompanied Li An into Chang'an City, but because they had to deliver the bodies of the horse bandits, about twenty men from Huatian Village had to go to Chang'an City early in the morning.

With so many people coming together, Li An felt a lot more relieved.

After getting up in the morning, the Liu family made a meal of noodles for Li An. This was already the best food for the Liu family. Li An did not refuse because Li An knew that this was a way of thanking him. If he did not eat it, he would be disappointed. It will break the other person's heart.

However, Li An didn't eat everything. He only ate half of the bowl and then poured the remaining half of the bowl into Huzi's bowl. Huzi, who still had a fever yesterday, was fine today after taking Li An's medicine. He got out of bed and no longer had a fever. Children in the countryside are resilient. Seeing that Hu Zi was well, the Liu family was very grateful to Li An.

Seeing Li An treat his children like this, the Liu family felt even more grateful.

"Mr. Li, you can rest assured. I will definitely send you to the Persian mansion in Dongshi. After dinner, let's take a break and then enter Chang'an City." Liu Fangzi looked at Li An and smiled.

Li An also nodded here.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Li An got on Liu Fangzi's carriage, and the group began to travel to Chang'an City.

The official roads in Chang'an City were quite good along the way, without any bumps. During the Tang Dynasty, the social economy was relatively developed, and Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty was an international metropolis, with roads extending in all directions to various regions. .At that time, roads in the Tang Dynasty were divided into two categories: official roads and private roads.

In terms of construction, the quality of the official road is very guaranteed. There will be no traffic jams and few traffic accidents. The pavement of this kind of road is usually paved with bluestone slabs or cobblestones, and the road is very smooth.Because the main functions of official roads were to transport food, march, and deliver documents, the official roads of the Tang Dynasty were somewhat similar to modern national roads.

If you do anything wrong, you will be punished. Other private roads are much worse. Most of these roads are built by local officials. The better ones are paved with stone slabs and worse. Like the naturally formed road, it was trampled by people and is a kind of dirt road.

Li An and his party had a smooth journey and arrived in front of Chang'an City about half an hour later.

Li An looked up, and what he saw was not the long-dead Chang'an City. Chang'an City was now full of vitality. The towering city walls stood majestically in front of Li An. The bustling crowds on both sides of the city gate were entering. There are those who live in Chang'an City and those who leave Chang'an City.

Among them were people from the Tang Dynasty, and even more barbarians and foreigners. These people crowded together and walked shoulder to shoulder. Those barbarians and foreigners were obviously a head shorter than the people from the Tang Dynasty, because you can tell by looking at people walking. Every Tang Dynasty person walks with his or her head held high, while barbarians and foreigners, on the other hand, keep their heads lowered.

This should be the pride of the Tang Dynasty people.

Entering Chang'an City, there are no sellers on the avenues of Chang'an City. Basically, there are people coming and going, and there is no excitement. If you want to experience the excitement of Chang'an City, then you must enter the square. , you can’t see the excitement outside.

As soon as you enter the square, you can see a different kind of excitement. There are a total of 108 squares in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty. Each of these 108 squares has its own characteristics. For example, Banzheng Square, there are many temples and temples in this square. At that time, it was a pure place for imperial examination candidates to study. Many scholars and students often came here to study and discuss academic matters.

There is also Changlefang. This Changlefang is a place that people in Chang'an like to go to. There are many shops in the place, and the most famous one in the place is the Pear Blossom Honey Shop.

Needless to say, Pingkangfang is a gathering place for candidates, candidates, officials stationed in Beijing from other provinces, and people from all over the country. It is also a famous gathering place for brothels.

Kaimingfang, there is a large bamboo forest in this square. The bamboo forest in the Tang Dynasty is not only an excellent landscape decorative plant, but also can be used to observe the wind direction.

The people from Huatian Village were separated from Li An and Liu Fangzi in front of the city gate. Liu Fangzi and Li An were going to Dongshi, while the other people from Huatian Village were going to Chang'an County Government, and they had no luck on the way, so they had to separate.

Li An said early on that this time, all the bounty money from the horse bandit leader and the horse bandits was bought into meat, vegetables and rice for 120 five guans, and Li An’s security department donated it to the elderly in Huatian Village. To be honest, Li An There is no use in asking for this money. If you take these copper coins from the Tang Dynasty back, they are actually not worth anything. The most valuable thing is Jin Kaiyuan.

Li An never thought that he would come to Datang again. This time he came to Datang purely to make money for his daughter. Once he has earned enough money, Li An will not come again, so these copper coins are better given to the people of Huatian Village. , and the people of Huatian Village also contributed to the killing of the horse bandits last night. Without them to control the situation, Li An could not do anything on his own.

So Li An finally decided to give all the money to the old people in Huatian Village. This actually made the people in Huatian Village have a high impression of Li An.

Li An would never have dreamed that he would have to come to Datang to settle down in the future. With the carriages parked in front of Dongshi, Li An felt the prosperity of Dongshi for the first time. When entering Dongshi, Li An even showed a surprised look.
