The gold market is in Luoyang City. It is located between the Yongmen Gate and the Upper West Gate, and is adjacent to a large area of the city wall.

Luoyang Gold Market is not only about buying gold products. The word "gold" is to describe the prosperity of the market, and the gold is rising day by day. Liu Bei went in and out of the inner city, mostly in the east of the city. Chengxi has only been to the West Garden, where His Majesty sells officials. Or enter from the summer gate in the north of the city. There is a longevity pavilion in front of the summer gate. When His Majesty arrived in Beijing, the Empress Dowager Dou and her entourage were picked up here.

This time, the car still entered the city from the Upper East Gate. Go south to Kaiyangmen Street, then turn to Zhongdongmen Street, go all the way to the west, go down through the north and south palaces on the shelf, and arrive at Luoyang Jinshi.

From Emperor Guangwu's car into the city, to the Empress Dowager Dou Wanshou Pavilion to welcome the new emperor. Luoyang City, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, has been expanding in scale for two hundred years.

Inside and outside the city, the production and life of the people are constantly enriched and refined. Therefore, at the beginning of the construction of Luoyang City, it was divided and managed according to functions. The central axis of the inner city is dominated by the palace area. It is carefully divided around the Three Princes' Mansion, Taicang, the Treasury Office, the business district, and the mansions of the powerful. The north and south of Miyagi are the political centers.

With the 'city' as the main structure, it combines handicraft workshops and a commercial area in Luli, a residential area. It constitutes the well-deserved economic center of Luoyang City.

The gold market bore the brunt. The daily income is not enough to describe the daily trading flow of the gold market and the commercial value created.

How to understand 'city'.

In Liu Bei's opinion. The city, first of all, is an open enclosed space. The city has a city gate. There are also city buildings in the city. Every day, the drum opens and the market closes. There are many shopping streets in the city. On both sides of the commercial street, there are rows of shops. Temporary stalls can also be set up outside the shops for hawkers to sell.

The shop is a courtyard. And most of them are courtyards. The front building, the left and right annexes, and the back building, are connected by walls. The heavy buildings are mostly three-storey, with front and rear flat seats. The front building is used for business, the back building is used for accommodation, and the annexes on both sides are used for servants, helpers, or handicraft workshops, and there are different warehouses for raw materials.

This is the layout of the city's wealthy merchants.

Medium-sized merchants, similar to the miscellaneous courtyards of later generations. On the fourth floor of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the courtyard, each of the four houses has one building. The courtyard gate and wall were demolished. The left and right roads are crossed in the shape of 'well', which can pass through the north and south. The former courtyard was then transformed into a small open square. Each of the four shops in the plaza also occupies a piece of the square and is set up as a temporary paving. People come and go, so it's not lively.

The fourth floor can occupy one building each, which is considered to be middle and upper-class. Each floor occupies half of the left and right, or four, six, three, seven, twenty-eight, or three, four, five, and so on, that is, the middle and lower. Whether it is in the upper middle or lower middle, it is called a business.

There is also a kind of non-fixed business. Most of the facades are leased, and there is no family handicraft, and they travel all over the world, selling cheaply and expensively. This is called a traveling businessman. It can be simply understood as 'wandering merchants'. "Guanzi Seven Ministers and Seven Masters": "There are spring and autumn periods, so there are nobles and lowly in the valley, and the upper ones are not lewd, so the traveling merchants can be Shiboqiben." ”

In addition to the traveling merchants, there are also hawkers. It is a small street vendor who walks the streets and alleys, or sells stalls in the market.

Wealthy merchants, merchants, traveling merchants, hawkers. There are also hundreds of workers and residences, which together constitute the 'city'.

The biggest difference between Luoyang Gold Market and ordinary cities is that this is the Dahan International Trade Center.

More than half of the wealthy businessmen in the city come from foreign countries. All the products sold are famous from all over the world. There are even species from all over the world. Elephants, rhinos, camels...... The Chinese dialect with the accent of various countries, mixed with the rapid tongue curling sound, converged into a roaring sound. The blended aromas released from famous products from all over the world will be smashed head-on.

Liu Bei and his entourage, who had just arrived, were instantly submerged.

All kinds of terroirs, characters, vernaculars, slang, famous products, different costumes, different appearances, and different shouts make people dizzy and dazzled.

Nowadays, businessmen also know how to stay warm. Every shopping street sells a certain kind of goods. The function is similar, but it is different in texture, decoration, and style. There are all kinds of Han and Hu. Hufu and Han robes are intertwined, elegant and luxurious. Silk leather boots are staggered, and leather hats and hair crowns rub together.

Black eyes stared at the multicolored pupils.

Three strands of sideburns matched two curly beards.

The buildings on both sides are very different. But it is incomparably harmonious and unified under the imperial capital Luoyang.

Liu Bei is just hanging out. Inquiring about the news of deerskin bags and sprinkling gold dust, there are heroes who secretly carry it out.

There are also orchid restaurants in the gold market. Unlike the Mahichi orchid, which is full of Sabbaths. Most of the orchids in the Jinshi wine shop come from the countries of the Western Regions. Yesterday, I met with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others here. I don't like to associate with Yuan Shao and other sons of the family, and the two righteous brothers go to play. Upstairs in the elegant seat, under the protection of a team of embroiderers led by Shi Lian, Liu Bei found a location facing the street and sat down.

Today is a good day for Mu Xiu.

Cao Cao didn't need to discuss with the court, and he had free time all day.

The reason why it is so urgent is that I want to strike while the iron is hot. Whether it is from the soil color of the robbery cave, or the Quhe River of Suyuan that has only become shallow recently, it is explained. Liang Ji Jinshan was only recently stolen and excavated.

Just think, why is an old case 20 years ago, and the rumors have long been subsided for many years. But someone recently dug it up? The accuracy of the site selection and the secrecy of the means. Be prepared. As seen inside the cave. The entire cave roof is covered with rocks. It is almost impossible to break it from above. The mountain is steep and there is nowhere to stay. If you want to dig from the middle of the mountain, it will not work. The best choice is to dig from the bottom of the mountain to the interior of the mountain.

The question is, how can thieves accurately find the location of the cave in the stretching mountain of ten miles and nine mountains?

There is only one possibility. This person must have a deep relationship with the late general Liang Ji. Otherwise, it would be impossible to know such secrets.

In order to keep the secret of Jinshan, Liang Ji did not hesitate to kill more than a dozen people, including Hu Shang and a cadre. is so strictly guarded, such a secret, it is impossible to know unless you are close to you.

Could it be that Liang Ji still has descendants?

This speculation is one of them.

Why did you choose to rob the tomb at this time, is the second. Such a huge mountain of gold can be carried out without knowing it. It must be a theft gang with a clear division of labor. Similar to a gang committing a crime, there are only two possibilities.

The account is unevenly divided, and the sale of stolen goods is not careful.

Money is not exposed. Taking out the stolen goods for spending is naturally easy to expose.

Uneven account distribution, even gang infighting, chaotic casualties are also easy to leak news.

In fact, in Liu Bei's opinion. Burying the news and waiting to see what happens is the best policy. But I don't know why Yuan Shao, especially Cao Cao, is so urgent.

Is it just because of the feelings of youth?

Although Yuan Shao and others are temperamental, they are not innocent to such an extent.

Just like the great Changqiu and Shangshu Ling Cao Jie, it is hidden and unpredictable. Liu Bei felt that Cao Mengde also had a secret related to Liangji Jinshan in his heart. Compared with the whereabouts of Jinshan, Liu Bei wanted to know where the obsession in Cao Mengde's heart came from.

"Prince." was secretly distracted, and suddenly heard someone in front of him greeting.

Look up. Slowly leaning back from behind the long sleeves is none other than Dr. Li Ru, who has not been seen for many days.

"It turned out to be Dr. Lee. I haven't seen you for many days, but everything is okay? ”

"There is Lao Junhou worried. Confucianism is the same as before, nothing different. Li Ru bowed and replied.

"Please take a seat." Liu Bei stood up to greet him.

"Thank you." After Li Ru saluted, he took off his shoes and took a seat.

It is different from Liu Bei's improved seat.

At this time, the two sat opposite each other. There are no cases in between.

The vertical screen behind the couch and the case in front of the couch. Put lacquer plates, ear cups, wine spoons and other things on the table. A lacquer bottle is placed in front of the case. If you are at home, there are seven young ladies holding spoons, scooping wine from the bottle and adding glasses, and serving diligently. And in the orchid shop. You can only pour your own drink, or have your subordinates do it for you.

For example, at this time, it was Li Ru who held the spoon and added wine to Liu Bei.
