"Wow...my god...!"

Although Li You was a modern person who traveled to the Tang Dynasty, Li You stood on the Zhuque Street in Chang'an at this time and couldn't help but make a marvelous sound.

And what you only see is the main road of Chang'an. If you want to walk on the road, you can't see the situation in the shop. This is the restraint of Chang'an City, but just this Zhuque Street, the entire street is ten miles long, running through the north and south, and has a width of 150 meters. According to the current conversion, it is equivalent to thirty or forty lanes.

It was so spectacular that Li You couldn't help but make a marveling sound.

If you want to see the prosperity of Chang'an, you must enter the yard.

There are 108 Lifangs in Datang, each of which is like today's residential communities. It is arranged neatly, with uniform rules and very orderly. These communities are all rectangular, but because the width and narrowness of each street are different, the size of each community is not completely the same.

The outer periphery of Lifang is surrounded by tall walls. The foundation of the wall is made of rammed earth slabs, with a thickness ranging from 2.3 meters to 3 meters.

Generally, cross streets between east, west, south and north are opened in each yard, with one gate on each side. Only the 36 yards in the south of the Imperial City only open east, west and east gates, and do not open north and south streets and north and south gates. It is said in history that "I do not want to open north streets to deflate, so as to rush the city gates."

The Lifang system in the early Tang Dynasty stipulated that the Fangmen opened at sunrise and closed at sunset, and there was a curfew in the city. When night came, people could not stroll on the main street outside the house. Only when the whole city was lifted from the 15th day of the first lunar month, can the people travel to the yard with lanterns.

But there is an interesting thing here, although visits to the yard are not allowed... but the people in Chang'an do not have any entertainment at all at night, because the yard is surrounded by high walls, so at night, those who do not want to go home can stay in the yard, continue to raise their glasses and drink and have fun.

As long as it does not disturb the people, people can stay away from sleep all night.

For example, Pingkangfang... You should know that Pingkangfang has no night, and it is even more crowded at night.

Li You walked out of Zhuque Street and followed him to Xishi. Why did you go to Xishi? It was because Li You heard that East City and West City were not only the economic activity center of Tang Chang'an City, but also the center of industrial and commercial trade at that time, and an important place for economic exchanges between China and foreign countries. Here, there were many merchants, many residences, a wide range of goods, and extremely prosperous trade.

Li You wanted to see how prosperous it was.

What surprised Li You was that Li You originally thought he was going to West City, but before Li You had taken two steps, a donkey cart driver walked to Li You with a smile and asked Li You if he wanted to take the bus.

Li You asked how much it would cost to go to the West City, and the donkey carriage driver told Li You that it only costs two big money.

Li You laughed and found that there was a taxi service, so he gave the donkey cart driver two big money without hesitation. He followed him on the donkey cart and was taken to the west market by the driver. However, the donkey cart was too shaky, and the donkey cart carried by the cart driver was a little too fast, almost spitting out Li You's overnight meal.

Suddenly Li You remembered his carriage. Although his carriage was broken, it was stable. The donkey carriage really had almost no stability. What's more annoying is that the donkey carriage also had an unpleasant smell.

Li You seriously suspected that the car was actually a cargo transporter. The donkey carriage driver in front of him was just a carriage. He cheated himself of two copper coins. The people in Chang'an are really business-minded.

"Young Master, we are here in the West City..."

In less than a quarter of an hour, the West Market arrived. With the help of the donkey cart driver, Li You jumped out of the donkey cart. As soon as he jumped down, he almost met someone. The man cursed: "Be careful..." and then dusted his clothes and left in anger.

"This...this...this...this is too many people?"

After Li You stood up, he was really shocked to see the scene in front of the West City. The scene here is very similar to a promotion in a large shopping mall, which attracted a lot of people at once, crowded and relying on people.

"Young Master... You must be careful of money in the West City. If there is anything, remember to find Wuhou...!"

Regarding the donkey carriage driver's reminder, Li You clasped his fists and said thank you, and followed the donkey carriage driver to drive the carriage away again.

Li You walked into Xishi. Why did Li You come to Xishi... Because compared with Dongshi, Xishi is a market for civilians. Dongshi is located near the three major cities (Daming Palace in the East, Tai Chi Palace in the West, Xingqing Palace in the South), and is a gathering place for dignitaries and nobles, so most of the market-operated goods are luxury goods.

Li You has less than fifty dollars on him. What do you think he is going to Dongshi to do?

The West City is far away from the three major areas, and is surrounded by civilian housing. The business of goods is mainly for residents' daily life. Due to the large population in the Tang Dynasty, the West City became the main industrial and commercial district and commodity trading market in Chang'an City, and is called "Jin City".

At the same time, Xishi is close to Kaiyuanmen, the starting point of the Tang Silk Road, and is a gathering place for many foreign merchants. There are merchants from Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, as well as Goryeo, Silla, Japan and other places, especially "Hu merchants" from Central Asia, Persia, South Vietnam and other ethnic minorities. There are also shops opened by Hu merchants in Xishishi, and young people often visit them in Huji wine shops.

"Hehe...!" Shortly after Li You entered the West Market, he saw a wine shop in front of him. In front of the wine shop, two high-nose, blue-eyed beards stood outside and exposed their snake-like waists, constantly squirming.

The civilian teenagers who had walked along the way had never seen such a situation. They looked at each other, wanting to see but not daring to see. Following the accidentally, one fell in front of them, and the ones behind them all fell in sequence one by one.

Two beards covered their mouths and chuckled. The fallen teenagers quickly got up, their faces blushed, and they fled wildly.

"Okay..." Just as Li You was chuckling, there were loud applause in a place where people gathered in front of him.

Li You also walked quickly to take a look.

After crowded into the crowd of applause, Li You realized that he was juggling, and the people who just applauded were a group of Persian merchants. Because of the open policy of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Hu people from the Western Regions attracted a large number of Hu people from the Western Regions to visit Chang'an, including India or Persians. These foreign friends who came from afar naturally also needed a place to settle down. Therefore, a large number of inns or Hu houses, as well as buildings with special functions, came into being in the West City, such as the famous "Persian Mansion".

Li You walked forward and saw pen stores, wine shops, iron shops, meat shops, woodblock printing shops, etc., as well as donkey rentals, buyers of huqins, miscellaneous operas, famous pipas, and rich and wealthy people...

Of course, the most common things are clothing, candles, cakes, medicines and other daily necessities that civilians can access.

In addition, there are many people, especially Hu merchants from all over the world... camels led by camels, and slaves brought by slaves. However, unlike now, in the Tang Dynasty, these Hu merchants walked in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty and were polite when they saw the people of Chang'an and did not dare to act rashly at all.

People in Chang'an also have a sense of superiority when they see these Hu merchants. They think they are the country above the heavens, and no Hu merchant dares to act rashly. This is a bit different from now, and foreigners now have a sense of superiority.

I went directly to the West Market and was almost noon. Li You wanted to find a small shop to sit down and have a meal. Anyone who has watched "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" knows that this basin of mutton is a unique basin of Chang'an.

Li You was about to eat it at noon. Just when Li You found a shop selling mutton, the shop came out to welcome the girl. When this shop came out, she frowned and looked reluctant to welcome the girl. Li You suddenly shouted in surprise: "Chongtianyan..."
