Yilan Pavilion is really not an ordinary brothel. This is something that Gu Tan and Zhuge Ke feel when they enter the brothel.

There are no erotic words and erotic words. On the contrary, the entire Yilan Pavilion is very elegant. The women in the pavilion are a bit literary. As for the women who are on stage to perform their skills in Yilan Pavilion, there is no need to mention. Even some women from aristocratic families in Jiangdong feel that they are not as good as those here in terms of temperament or aura.

Zhao Guang really brought them to welcome them. First, he took a bath in the bathhouse. After coming out of the bath area, he felt that he couldn't express his refreshing body. Then he sat in the attic to watch various technical performances, some singing and dancing, some storytelling and other things. In addition, there are more violent programs such as women's Cuju, wrestling competitions, fighting, etc., which are appreciated by both the elite and the masses, but not abruptly. The entire Yilan Pavilion is divided into four floors, forming a large spiral corridor with the stage at the center, and the lowest level is ordinary people. Of course, if rich and high-ranking officials are interested or are unwilling to spend money, they can also go in.

The second floor is the area of ​​wealthy households and officials. As long as you are willing to spend money or have an official in Chang'an, you can usually bring eight people in one seat, but few of them are full.

The third level must have a certain status. You can use high-ranking officials and master craftsmen, saying that they are famous all over the world. These people are usually free. Of course, if you want other services, you have to calculate it separately.

As for the highest fourth floor, it is usually empty, where you can not only see the performances in the venue, but also see the entire Chang'an outside the window. The most important thing is that this fourth floor can be rotated, and can be rotated in one hour, and you can see the scenery of half of the Chang'an City.

There were not many people in the entire Han Dynasty who could sit here, but even if there was no one, the place would not be open to others, and no one dared to ask for the fourth floor.

The great man also has his own level, and the most distinctive thing here is that the great man has clear channels for growth, either benefiting the officials or going to the battlefield to kill enemies and make achievements, and there is always a chance to make a comeback.

"I'm a little late today." Zhao Guang said regretfully: "There are several talented women in Yilan Pavilion who sing and dance. If you can stay in Chang'an for a longer time, you will see it next month."

"The performance here is different every day?" Gu Tan said curiously.

"Of course, if it is repeated every day, what's the point?" Zhao Guang said with a smile.

"Yes." Gu Tan shook his head with some sigh. He originally thought that Jianye was also prosperous, but compared with Chang'an in front of him, there is no comparison in terms of prosperity or entertainment. As for things that are deeper, they can't see them even when they first come.

"It's not too late, I'll send you two back to Sihai Pavilion. Although Yilan Pavilion has accommodation, the cost is quite high, and Sihai Pavilion is not bad." Zhao Guang smiled at the two of them.

"I'm here to help Dingguo brother." The two of them stood up and left Yilan Pavilion under the leadership of Zhao Guang.

On the street, you can see a strange pavilion at every intersection. Zhuge Ke said in confusion: "Brother Dingguo, since he entered Chang'an, he has seen several such buildings. I wonder what it is for?"

"That, the branch yamen and the yamen guards are stationed. There are fifty-six such branch yamen in Chang'an City, and there is one at each street intersection." Zhao Guang glanced at him and smiled.

"Yiawei?" Gu Tan and Zhuge Ke looked at Zhao Guang with some confusion. This was another strange word. There was no such one among the officials of the Han Dynasty.

"Those who are responsible for Chang'an's public security and mediate disputes in the city are under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Order. Twenty yamen guards in each yamen, patrolling the city back and forth, but they are all slightly trained people, usually eliminated from the recruit camp." Zhao Guang said with a smile.

In other words, there are 1,120 people in the entire Chang'an City who are responsible for inspecting public security alone!?

Gu Tan and Zhuge Ke calculated silently in their hearts, a little shocked. Generally, there are not so many garrisons in remote counties, right?

And... the Han Dynasty is probably the only country today that kicks people out of the army.

In recent years, everyone has understood the military system of the Han Dynasty. Although it is a conscription system, the benefits are different. The soldiers can use their merits to let their children study. In addition, they will also be divided into some land for rent for the land. They will also be scrubbed in the Han Dynasty when they die in battle. This also makes the Han army enthusiastic and everyone strives for the first place. The Han army on the battlefield even cut people desperately, which is quite effective in imitating the pre-Qin meaning, but it is not exactly the same.

Such a conscription system, coupled with the advantages of the Han army's equipment, has also led to the combat effectiveness of the Han army's army in recent years.

It is also because the Han Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. Wei and Wu have been seeking changes and breakthroughs in recent years. However, the Han Dynasty has the confidence to do this and has great power. There is Liu Yi behind the scenes that continue to promote the continuous prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang and others are constantly improving the laws and regulations in the court. In this regard, neither the Wei Dynasty nor the Eastern Wu can follow.

Even if you give you a method clearly, you can't imitate it. Even if everyone can see the reason why the great man is becoming stronger and stronger now, you want to imitate the great man and kill those aristocratic families first. If you really do this, the great man will not give you any breathing room. So even though you know that the gap will only grow bigger and bigger, you can only constantly seek balance in the middle. Although it is getting stronger, its speed cannot keep up with the great man.

"Of course, the branch yamen is only trial in Chang'an and Luoyang. There are not many soldiers eliminated in the army now, and these yamen must also receive training. They can also make contributions to solving major cases or capturing thieves. They also have the right to enroll in the school, but their treatment is not as good as soldiers in the army." Zhao Guang laughed and said, "If the world is peaceful in the future, the army may be reduced. At that time, the soldiers who came from the army will be assigned to various places as yamen, and specific formulations will be made at that time."

Gu Tan and Zhuge Ke did not respond, and their hearts were a little heavy.

While the Eastern Wu was still working hard to govern, thinking about how to strengthen the army and how to exploit interests from the people, the Han Dynasty has now begun to plan things to consider for the people. From a development perspective, the Han Dynasty has undoubtedly surpassed Cao Wei and Dongwu many, many.

It also proved from the indirect evidence that the Han Dynasty was strong. Both Gu Tan and Zhuge Ke were a little sad. This time they came to report to the court that the Eastern Wu discovered an island overseas, named Yizhou by Sun Quan. However, Sun Quan abolished the throne and was currently the King of Wu, and was not qualified to make this decision. If this is not done well, the Han Dynasty had every reason to go to war with Sun Quan. So the two of them came here this time, one was to hope that the Han Dynasty could recognize that Yizhou belonged to the Eastern Wu, and the other was to hope that the Han Dynasty could provide some financial or material assistance. After all, the Eastern Wu was defeated in the previous years, which made the Eastern Wu unable to breathe. A few years ago, it even regressed to bartering. It was not until the last two years that it began to ease.

Sun Quan regarded Yizhou as his retreat, so he hoped to manage it well. If things really didn't work in the future, he would lead the Sun family to Yizhou.

Now that they saw the scene in Chang'an and what they saw along the way, a sudden wave of their hearts arose. Perhaps the King of Wu was right to choose this retreat.

Sihai Pavilion is actually a posthouse with a new name. However, as the inn in Chang'an, it is naturally different from other places. The white jade pillars with more than three feet apart are somewhat different from the Han Dynasty, but they also secretly conform to the architectural style of the Han Dynasty culture. In the spacious and atmospheric main hall, people with high noses and deep eyes can be seen everywhere.

"These are all envoys from the Western Regions. The envoys from the Kingdom of Anxu. The one who walked with him was the female prime minister of the Kushan Kingdom, and some small countries. The bearded man over there was General Luthor from the Great Qin Kingdom. He brought their prince to the Han Dynasty for asylum. The eleven-year-old prince was blinded by his brother and fled with eight hundred remaining troops. He heard that Luthor was still a sword god of the Great Qin Kingdom. His swordsmanship was quite powerful. He defeated more than a dozen swordsmen in Chang'an. Moreover, their tactics were quite distinctive. Now Luthor has agreed to join us as a general, responsible for helping to train the new army and integrate the leaders of the two families. Now he is learning what we are doing, and we don't understand what they say."

Zhuge Ke looked at him curiously. He had seen people from the Western Regions, but this was the first time he had seen someone like this: "Sword God? Is it very powerful?"

"There are few opponents, but last month my father saw it when he returned to the court. He was defeated. He could fight Lily with my father fiercely. Looking at the Central Plains, there were probably not many people who were their opponents." Zhao Guang nodded and smiled. When he talked about his father, he obviously felt a little proud.

Zhao Yun is now the governor of Xiliang and the governor of the Xiliang army. In terms of official positions, he is no match for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but in terms of martial arts, he is no less than two. He can compete with Zhao Yun with Lily. Such a person is indeed a powerful general.

"Hi, Guang!" Luther saw Zhao Guang and approached him kindly and greeted Zhao Guang.

"General Luther, I haven't seen you for a few days. Has the prince's health improved?" Zhao Guang nodded slightly.

"It's much better. The doctor of the great man is really amazing. The prince's eyes can already see some blurry things. Please thank Your Majesty for me." Luther nodded and smiled.

"My man respects loyal and righteous people the most. I am very sympathetic to the prince's experience." Zhao Guang nodded with a smile.

After a few more greetings, Luther said goodbye and left, and Zhao Guang took Zhuge Ke and Gu Tan to the courtyard they distributed and said, "Let's stay here these days. There are banquets here every night. If you two have the heart, you can attend. These Western Regions people are quite enthusiastic, and there are also many delicious foods sent from the Western Regions that cannot be eaten in the Central Plains."
