I heard that the petty officials from Goguryeo wanted to take a look at Chang'an.

Cui Donglin agreed without saying a word: "Okay, I'll show you today." ”

In fact, Cui Donglin was waiting for these people in the hall for a while, and he planned to take these petty officials from Goguryeo to see Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty.

Someone said with disdain: "Knowledge, what is better in the Tang Dynasty than our Great Goguryeo, my Great Goguryeo Royal City has newly built a high-rise building with a height of seven zhang." ”

"Qizhang, it's so tall!" Cui Donglin just smiled.

The petty officials from Goguryeo have been telling about the changes in the royal city of Goguryeo in the past two years.

Cui Donglin just listened, then smiled back, and also signaled the others on his side not to speak.

After coming out of the State Guest House, Cui Donglin walked east.

Qian Hengjun, the petty official who spoke just now, said again: "Don't you even have a carriage to live in Chang'an?" ”

"The carriage is there, take you in a better carriage. It's only on the street over there, but not here. ”

"Car, what car?"

The State Guest House came out and walked a street corner, Chang'an City has completed the two horizontal and two vertical layout of the ground light rail, it can be said that the public transportation in Chang'an City has been ahead of the Mediterranean Sea for a thousand years.

Bell, bell...... Woo......

A small locomotive with six carriages slowly stopped in front of the station platform at the street entrance.

"The small fire dragon car, dragged by the front of the small fire dragon made of stainless steel, can drag up to forty-five carriages, but in Chang'an City, it is generally three, there are festivals, or six carriages are dragged during the morning, noon and evening rush hours."

Cui Donglin introduced while guiding these petty officials who came to Goguryeo Wangcheng to get on the bus in turn.

The person behind Cui Donglin took out a banknote and a few copper coins and handed them to the staff on the platform.

"This is an aristocratic carriage, two copper coins at a time, and the cheapest common people's cheap carriage only needs three steels."

The aristocratic carriages were all double-decker, with rows of backrest benches on the upper deck, fences made of stainless steel on both sides, and a roof made of waterproof lacquered cloth, which was rolled up in good weather to allow people to see the sky and the surrounding scenery.

"When people outside Chang'an come to Chang'an, they will spend money to buy tickets for double-decker carriages, just to see the scenery of Chang'an City on the second floor."

When Cui Donglin introduced, the car had already passed another stop, and it happened to pass the intersection of the south corner of Dongshi and Qinrenfang.

In the southwest corner of the East Market, there is a 17-storey building with a roof banquet hall in the Tang Dynasty, which is designed by willow wood and is a treasure building integrating shopping, food and entertainment in later generations.

Cui Donglin didn't mention how high this building was, but said to the petty officials from Goguryeo: "This building is called Dongshi Stargazing Building, the higher the floor, the higher the price of goods, the restaurant on the top floor operates the world's rare food, and an ordinary meal without wine also needs at least two hundred yuan." ”

"This ......" The petty officials from the royal city of Goguryeo were stunned.

This is the real reinforced concrete building, with an all-glass façade, which is a miracle building that the Goguryeo people cannot believe.

"This, is this the tallest building in Datang?"

"No, the tallest in Datang is the Yingling Pagoda, which is in the original Great Ci'en Temple, the base of the tower covers an area of eighteen temples, the pedestal is three stories high, and there are one hundred and eight rooms inside. The tower is eighteen stories high, and each floor is one zhang high. This tower is used to worship the meritorious ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and the higher it is, the more noble the status of the people enshrined. ”

After Cui Donglin finished speaking, another petty official added: "Listening to the Chang'an Order, the Tang Emperor issued a holy decree that the height of any building in Chang'an City shall not be higher than that of Yingling Tower, and no building is allowed to build more than eighteen floors, so the seventeenth floor of the building in Chang'an City is the highest ceiling, and it doesn't matter outside the city." ”

"How is it possible, how can someone build a huge building more than eighteen stories high outside the city?" Qian Hengjun felt that his mind could no longer turn, the city was a prosperous place, and the outside of the city should be farmland.

In all the news he heard about the Tang people, the Tang people could not even afford to use pottery and porcelain, and relied on a little silk income every year to exchange porcelain in Goguryeo, otherwise the Tang farmers would not even have bowls to eat.

Cui Donglin stopped the people around him from explaining to Qian Hengjun.

Construction has already begun on that building, which is known as the first building in the world.

The use of the building is not for the people, nor for the nobles, the building is built in the west of Longshouyuan, I heard that the new palace with the Tang Dynasty is one is north of the city to the west, and one is in the north of the city to the east.

There are countless classics collected by Datang in the building, and every one of them who is qualified to enter the building to discuss knowledge is placed in all parts of Datang, and they are all famous teachers respected by people all over the world. Around the building, a garden covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres will be built, this garden is the top school in Datang, a hundred homes in Datang, Datang wants to reproduce the prosperity of the hundred schools of thought in the past, and the ghost workers, heavenly masters, and teachers in the garden are innumerable.

Cui Donglin did not intend to talk about these to the petty officials from Goguryeo, because it was not directly related to their plans.

The light rail arrives at the station at the intersection of Qinglongfang and Quchifang Street in the south of the city, which is not the terminal station, and the end point is in front of the new city gate.

Cui Donglin motioned for everyone to get out of the car.

Outside the station, there are many neatly lined rickshaws waiting.

Cui Donglin motioned to his subordinates to call a car, pay them one by one, and then ordered: "Qujiangchi Yanbo Island Lotus Pavilion, don't change boats, go directly." ”

"You're in the car and sit down." The handlebar symbolically wiped the seat twice, and then rode the tricycle and began to walk towards Qujiang Pond, Cui Donglin's position at this time was in the west of Qujiang Pond, and he needed to go around the entire Qujiang Pond to the east, and then there was a bridge to the island, and after crossing the bridge, the wooden corridor that also walked all the way to the Lotus Pavilion.

In front of the wooden corridor, Cui Donglin said to everyone: "Today, I invite you to eat here, and I will pay for the rest of the consumption if it is an ordinary expense, and I will take care of the big expenses." The minimum consumption of each person to eat here is the same money, and there is no item less than 30 yuan here, if it is late, the night stay on Yanbo Island is at least the same amount of money per person. ”

"Good, so expensive."

How much purchasing power does the Tang people's consistent money have, that is, the educated Tang Dynasty is like a village, and the royal city of Goguryeo is a prosperous place, Qian Hengjun was shocked.

The money in the Goguryeo royal city has always allowed ordinary people to live for at least a month, and if they are to feed slaves, they can feed ten to fifteen slaves for a month.

There are people checking in front of the wooden corridor, and no one is allowed to bring weapons inside. Unless there is a token on the body that the Tang Palace allows to carry weapons, even the high-ranking nobles must leave their weapons outside.

Entering the Lotus Pavilion, before Qian Hengjun could feel the luxury here, he was attracted by a figure.

Willow wood, Tang Changping horse willow wood.

Qian Hengjun had seen Liu Mu once from afar behind Yuangai Suwen.
