Chapter 0254 Dazzled Tian Yu, Gongsun Xu, Zhao Yun!!!
Half a day’s time.
Tian Yu, Gongsun Xu, Zhao Yun and others finally arrived at the foot of Chang’an City on horseback.
Everything they saw along the way.
Let them have a certain expectation of the prosperity of Chang’an City.
But seeing it with their own eyes, they still couldn’t help being shocked.
There was a constant stream of traffic at the city gate, and a bustling crowd of people.
Caravans, travelers, civilians…all kinds of people gathered here, waiting to enter this great city.
There were also some vendors providing food.
They were shouting their own food, and the sound came one after another, forming a unique symphony.
Travelers from afar couldn’t help drooling when they saw these foods.
They bought them one after another.
Let these small vendors smile.
Teams of caravans loaded with spices, jewelry, furs, etc. slowly moved forward.
The camel bells swayed gently with their steps, making a crisp sound.
On both sides of the city gate, soldiers dressed in neat armor, holding spears, and maintaining order with solemn expressions.
Tian Yu, Gongsun Xu, and Zhao Yun all looked at the scene in front of them, as if they were in a dream.
They looked at the prosperous scene in front of them, and they couldn’t help but feel a strong shock in their hearts.
Is this really the Chang’an in their memory?
The Chang’an that was once dilapidated due to the unstable political situation of the court, the separatism of the princes, and the warlords?
The city that suffered from wars.
“”Is this… is this Chang’an City?”
Tian Yu murmured to himself, his face full of disbelief.
Gongsun Xu was also amazed:”I can’t believe that Chang’an City is so prosperous!”
“Yes, I never thought that one day I would be able to see such a prosperous capital city of Chang’an in this chaotic world!”
Zhao Yun took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement.
“I don’t know what the situation is like in the city, I’m afraid it will be even more prosperous!”
Gongsun Xu continued to speak.
Tian Yu watched all this silently.
There was a complex light flashing in his eyes.
He knew that all this prosperity came from the decision to reopen the Silk Road. The prosperity of trade not only attracted more and more caravans to Chang’an, but also gave this ancient city a new vitality.
The three of them stopped and watched not far from the city gate.
Because they were all riding war horses, wearing simple leather armor and holding weapons, they soon attracted the attention of the guards at the city gate.
A team of soldiers quickly walked towards them.
After a brief inquiry, the soldiers carefully checked their identification and the items they carried, and then gave them directly A fast lane was opened.
They were envoys sent by Gongsun Zan. They didn’t have to line up here with others.
However, these soldiers asked them to wrap up all their weapons and hang them on the saddles, and not to hold them in their hands.
Faced with this request, Zhao Yun and the other two quickly agreed.
After all, holding weapons in their hands may cause unnecessary danger to the city. Follow the official passage reserved here at the city gate.
Tian Yu, Gongsun Xu, Zhao Yun and others rode their horses through the gate of Chang’an City.
They seemed to have entered a whole new world.
Their eyes were soon attracted by the prosperity of the city.
The streets were bustling with people coming and going, and the traffic was busy.
Compared with the outside of the city, the scene inside Chang’an City is even more dazzling.
“”The city of Chang’an is unexpectedly even more prosperous!”
Tian Yu exclaimed.
His eyes wandered around the streets, trying to take in all this beauty.
Gongsun Xu also echoed:”There are many shops and people flowing around. This scene is really breathtaking!”
Zhao Yun smiled and said:”It is already expected. Just look at the crowds waiting to enter the city outside and you can guess it!”
Although the three of them were riding on horses, they were not in a hurry to go to the Weiwei Office to register.
They planned to take a good look around the city of Chang’an.
Since riding a horse was not very convenient, the three of them dismounted and handed the horses to the guards below.
They asked them to go to the Weiwei Office first and wait.
The whole Chang’an City was crowded with people and looked very safe.
Their guards did not insist and left first with the horses.
The three of them strolled on the street, attracted by various things from time to time.
They observed everything around them and felt the unique atmosphere of the city.
Tian Yu, Gongsun Xu, and Zhao Yun soon discovered that in Chang’an City, it was difficult to judge a person’s identity based on temperament.
They noticed that the people here did not seem to have a strict hierarchy.
The boundary between scholars and ordinary people did not seem to be so obvious.
When facing ordinary people, the scholars always had a humble smile on their faces.
And the people did not have that kind of humility and awe towards the scholars from the bottom of their hearts. This harmonious atmosphere made them feel a little uncomfortable.
“This Chang’an City is really unique!”
Zhao Yun secretly admired in his heart.
Tian Yu and Gongsun Xu were a little uncomfortable with it.
“Here, the relationship between scholars and common people seems really surprising!”
Tian Yu frowned slightly and said.
Gongsun Xu nodded:”Yes, there is always an insurmountable gap between scholars and common people!”
“But here, the scholars all look very humble!”
Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said,”This is probably the general’s way!”
“He probably hopes that everyone can find their own place, regardless of their status!”
Tian Yu shook his head in disapproval, but he didn’t say anything else.
The three of them talked as they walked, admiring the prosperous scene of Chang’an 2.6 City along the way.
The shops on both sides of the street were crowded with people, and all kinds of goods were on display.
The hawking and bargaining sounds came one after another, forming a vivid market picture.
Not only that.
There are also many mobile vendors hawking everywhere.
Some of them sell art, some sell snacks, and some sell handicrafts.
There are all kinds of stalls, which are dazzling.
“Look over there, those Hu merchants are really interesting!”
Gongsun Xu pointed to a group of Western Hu merchants not far away. Their skin color, clothing color, and appearance were very different from those of the Central Plains people. Some of them had high noses and deep eyes, some had curly hair and brown skin, and they wore all kinds of exotic clothes, which made them particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
