Standing on the ba, you can look at Chang'an from afar.
However, Wangshan ran a dead horse, and the thirty-mile journey relied on a pair of feet, but Zhang Chao was really tired enough.
Especially the willow basket that still carried more than 200 buns, and the weight of nearly 30 catties for a long time, made Zhang Chao's rest time more and more frequent.
But Dad didn't help him carry it, in Daddy's words, this is also a kind of exercise, and Zhang Chao is lacking in practice.
The most important ability of an excellent and qualified soldier is not how good the spear is or how powerful the knife is, or how accurate the bow is, but the most basic ability should be to be able to walk and run.
Only by being able to run well can keep up with the rapid team, can surprise or outflank the enemy, or can quickly leave the battlefield when encountering a headwind.
If you can't even run, then if you can fight, you will be the first to be eliminated on the battlefield.
Zhang Chao has also traveled back and forth a few times before, but he either came by car or by bicycle.
More than 30 miles away, very easy.
But this time, I walked 30 miles with my feet and carried 30 pounds, which was really tiring.
The towering Chang'an City is gradually approaching.
On the official road leading to Chang'an City, there are more and more pedestrians.
People of all colors, even of all skin tones.
The Chang'an City, which was built by the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty at a cost of many manpower and financial resources, was presided over by Yu Wenkai, the world's first architect, although the name was changed, from Daxing City to Chang'an City, and it also experienced several years of war in the middle.
However, Li Tang has been in charge of Guanzhong for several years, and this majestic city has gradually regained a lot of prosperity and atmosphere.
Sui Chao Tang Xing, Chang'an City was also the first to recover.
The palace was opened in nine days, and all the nations were crowned with crowns.
Looking at the tall city wall and the atmospheric city gate tower, Zhang Chao felt an indescribable sense of excitement in his heart.
The Tang Dynasty, the most respected dynasty in Chinese history, strengthened the Han and the Tang Dynasty, and the Han and Tang Dynasty were the proudest times for the Chinese.
Tang may not be the richest, and perhaps he has won the most foreign wars, but when it comes to Tang, no one is proud of it, and even yearns for it.
Why, because Tang has a spirit, an indomitable spirit, Tang is also the most confident dynasty of ancient Chinese people.
Even if the Tang Dynasty was only strong for a hundred years, it still made the Tang Dynasty the most popular dynasty in ancient China.
On the faces of those pedestrians who entered and exited Chang'an City and walked on the official road, Zhang Chao could already see the strong self-confidence of the Tang people.
In the fourth year of Wude, this was an important year for the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin won the Battle of the Central Plains, defeating Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, while Li Jing defeated Jiangling Xiao Mo in the southern expedition, and successfully marched to Lingnan, and the Baiyue slang people surrendered.
After more than ten years of war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people of Guanzhong once again saw the hope of peace in the world.
"If only there was a shuttle."
Zhang Chao rubbed his sore legs and said to his father.
"What a shuttle" "It is a fixed ox cart and carriage between Chang'an and Ba to load passengers."
Originally, Zhang Chao thought that his idea was very forward-looking, but when his father heard it, he just snorted and said disapprerovingly, "The shuttle you said has to be paid to get on it."
"Of course, you have to pay for it, but it's also a good deal to pay a little money and get in the car."
"It's a good deal, it's only twenty or thirty miles, what else can you do with walking.
Where there is so much money, what is the foot used for when you don't walk, unless you are carrying a lot of things, you use oxen and horses to cart.
Otherwise, who has to pay for a car, it's not sick" Daddy is not hedonism, but simplicity.
In his opinion, even if there is money, it should not be wasted like this.
If you can't die when you walk, why spend more money.
After saying something, Zhang Chao was speechless.
In fact, Daddy's idea is the common idea of people in this era, the idea of a small farmer, self-sufficiency.
Their greatest wish in life is to have some of their own fields, and then work hard, no disasters or disasters, save some money, build a new cave, and then marry an aunt, have a bunch of children, and then save money, and when the children are older, they will repair the cave for the children, and marry a daughter-in-law for the children They generally don't leave the township, let alone the county.
Even if it is only thirty miles away from Chang'an, if it is not for military service, it may not be there once in a few years.
Even if they go to a township or county, they will carry dry food on their backs.
If you want to buy some salt needlework or something, you must carry some eggs, chickens or grain from home to the market to change.
An old soldier like Dad, who has fought in the south and the north, and fought in the east and west, can be regarded as a relatively small number of people who have seen the world.
"Chang'an is still not as lively as it used to be."
Dad is talking about the Sui Kai Empress period and the early period of the Great Cause, that time was the real most prosperous and lively time in Chang'an City, many ordinary people and merchants from all over the world, as well as Hu merchants from all over the Western Regions, gathered in Chang'an.
"Chang'an will definitely become more and more lively in the future."

Zhang Chao looked at the majestic Chang'an Road.
The city of Chang'an in the Sui and Tang dynasties and the Bianjing of the Northern Song Dynasty in later generations were also very prosperous and huge.
But there is a big difference, for example, Tokyo in the Qingming Riverside Map, there are many merchants everywhere, and there are many stalls along the streets and rivers and even on the bridges.
However, this situation is relatively rare in Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, because the planning of Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties has a military concept.
The whole Chang'an City has the palace city, the imperial city and the outer Guo city.
The outer city is composed of one hundred and eight squares, and the outer city not only has a tall city wall, but also the various square areas in the city, which are also relatively independent, and there are one after another square walls separated from the square gates.
In addition, the shops in the Sui and Tang dynasties were not set up along the streets, on the contrary, it was strictly forbidden to open shops on both sides of the streets.
Especially in Chang'an's Royal Street Suzaku Street, not to mention that you can't open shops, even the houses on both sides of the street can't open the doors and windows of the Royal Street, only those important ministers and nobles of high grade are qualified to open a window.
The shops in Chang'an City are concentrated in a special market.
There are two commercial market areas in the East Market and the West Market, so Chang'an people's shopping is also called buying east and west, referred to as buying things.
This is where the purchases of later generations come from.
Except for the two cities of East and West, these two specialized business districts, there are at most some small lifestyle shops in the other squares.
Only in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Tang Chang'an City will slowly change, at that time, there began to be a large number of shops in each square area, and even slowly formed a variety of very distinctive square shops, such as Pingkang Fang in the adjacent East City, which is the famous entertainment center of the Honglan District of the Tang Dynasty.
Some other workshops have also formed special business areas such as blacksmith processing.
However, in the early Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City still almost followed the planning of Sui Daxing City.
Each square area is like a watertight cabin on a large ship, which is strictly separated.
This has the advantage of being easy to manage, and China had never had such a large capital before the construction of Daxing City.
At the beginning of the construction and design of Daxing City, it was to prepare to move those noble families of the previous dynasties from all over the world to Daxing to enrich the capital after pacifying the world, and at the same time to weaken the local forces in various places to strengthen the rule of the new dynasty.
Therefore, at the beginning of the design of Daxing City, it was aimed at being able to accommodate a million people, and in case of war, even if the city gate was broken, one hundred and eight squares, each of which could become an isolation cabin, greatly enhancing the defense and making Chang'an City have stronger combat effectiveness.
At night, not only Chang'an City has to have a curfew and close the city gates, but also all the square gates.
Therefore, at night, in fact, all the residents of Chang'an City were locked in pigeon cages.
If you dare to wander the street in the middle of the night for no reason, you have to eat a board, and if you can't get cut down by a sergeant patrolling the street, you won't be wronged.
The current Chang'an City has not yet built the Daming Palace in the north of the city, so the whole Chang'an City is still a huge square.
The most lively in Chang'an City is the East and West Cities, and the Middle East City is surrounded by square districts where dignitaries and royal relatives live, but the East City is not as lively as the West Market.
Because of the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court regarded merchants as "cheap categories", and regarded industry and commerce as unprofitable, and strictly forbade hundreds of officials to enter the market.
The West Market is far away from Ouchi, and there are many ordinary people's houses around, and most of the goods sold in the market are clothes, candles, cakes, medicines and other daily necessities.
Because the west market is prosperous, it is also known as the gold market.
There are 220 lines of goods and wealth in the west market, and there are mansions on all sides.
The catering industry in the West Market is the most prosperous, so Zhang Chao and their line of work is for the purpose of the West Market. t1706231537:
