The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 235 Chang'an Becomes Xi'an!
In the evening, after dinner, a group of people sat on the sofa.

"We're going back to our hometown tomorrow. Since you guys don't have ID cards to buy tickets, we can't go back to Datang first. I'll pick you up when I get there."

Xiao Ran realized that this was the only way; without an ID card, he couldn't buy a ticket, which was a real headache.

We need to find a way to get ID cards for Li Shimin's family later.

While things like travel are convenient, being unregistered definitely presents some inconveniences.

"Brother, are you taking the high-speed rail?" Princess Yuzhang knew about this too.

"Airplane, hurry up."

“I also want to try flying a plane. Is it safe?” Li Lizhi chimed in.

“Airplanes are safe. The probability of an accident is the lowest among airplanes. Airplanes generally don’t crash, but if they do, it’s basically a death sentence.” Xiao Ran changed the subject. “Not now. To buy plane tickets, you need to register with your real name. Chang Le, you don’t have ID cards, so you can’t buy tickets. You can only wait until later.”

Xiao Ran needed to find connections and someone to help him register his household registration.

"If airplanes don't work, then trains and high-speed trains won't work either, will they?" Princess Yuzhang wanted to try other options.

"Anyone who bought the ticket with their real name won't be allowed, unless we drive back ourselves, but that's a bit far."

"Alright, let's do it the way the young master says. Is it difficult to get an ID card?" Li Li asked.

Li Lizhi had realized earlier that this problem needed to be solved, as it was very important.

I never imagined that buying tickets would be so indispensable.

"It's not easy to get things done here in the ancient city. Let's see if we can find some connections back in our hometown and get it done." Xiao Ran wasn't quite sure either.

"As long as it's an ID card, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Are there any different levels or anything?" Li Lizhi continued to ask.

"No, I don't have one. The ID cards are all the same." Xiao Ran took out his own.

After Li Lizhi finished reading it, she handed it to Princess Yuzhang. The concept of an ID card has existed for a long time; in the feudal dynasties, it was called household registration.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang could understand.

The others knew what was going on. Xiao Ran glanced at her and said, "Si Zi, Second Mother, go to sleep early. We'll go out and play tomorrow."

"Mmm-hmm~" The little princess came running over, tugging at Xiao Ran, "Little Nang-jun~ Time for bed~"

"Fanyin, Seventeen, let's go too," Xiao Ruoying called out.

The Samoyed seemed to have chosen the little princess and followed her to Xiao Ran's room.

"Sixth Sister, we're going to visit the old man. Shouldn't we prepare some things?"

"Hehe, I've prepared. Sister, you can buy some things while you're there. Buy some food and stuff. I checked online, buying clothes and stuff is also fine, but since this is our first time going, buying food and stuff is enough."

Li Lizhi nodded, "Okay, I understand. Get some rest!"

Princess Yuzhang pulled Li Lizhi along, saying, "Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws, sister, don't be nervous."

"You brat, what are you saying?"

"Hehe, I asked Sister Ruoying before. Back in my hometown, it's just my grandparents. They're both doing very well, so don't overthink it, Sister."

Li Lizhi nodded. "I understand."

Xiao Ran booked a flight early in the morning so he could arrive in the southwest that afternoon. However, his hometown was a bit far from the airport, requiring a four- or five-hour drive.

After breakfast, I said, "I'm driving to Datang later. You guys come with me. The supermarket had some stock, but it might not be enough, so close early."

“Little Nangjun, I’m going too~” The little princess looked at Xiao Ran.

“We’ll go too, but we have to go find Grandpa and Grandma first.”

"Why duck~" The little princess didn't understand and suddenly pulled Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran pondered how to explain the ID card issue to the little princess.

To put it simply, the little princess doesn't understand things like ID card verification.

"Sizi, I went to get my shot early, are you going to get your shot too? If you go later, you won't need a shot!" Princess Yuzhang said with a smile.

The little princess looked wary. "I don't know how it is~" The little princess thought it would be fine to go later.

Li Lizhi and Xiao Ruoying also smiled.

Princess Gaoyang originally wanted to go with Xiao Ran, but when she heard that she needed to get a shot, she kept quiet.

After finishing their meal, the group prepared their belongings, and Xiao Ran drove them to Datang.

Before going, I went to the villa next door to talk to Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu about the situation.

"Grandpa, I have to go back to my hometown for a few days. I might not be at the villa for the next couple of days. Give me a call if you need anything."

Li Yuan wasn't interested in mobile phones; he preferred watching television, probably because he was getting old.

Making phone calls was something Zhang Jieyu had to do. Zhang Jieyu learned how to use a mobile phone from Princess Yuzhang, Li Lizhi.

"Alright, alright, go ahead!" Li Yuan casually asked, "Are the maids coming with you too?"

"Yes, Chang Le Si Zi and the others will all go."

"Ok, I know."

Xiao Ran took the mirror and went to the airport.

Xiao Ran had tried it before; the mirror was very sturdy, probably because it had a special function.

The situation of it breaking is not possible.

Empress Zhangsun, wife of Emperor Taizong of Tang, knew that Xiao Ran was taking several people back to his hometown, but she did not object.

Even Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun wanted to go and see it, but since they were not familiar with the area, it wouldn't be wise to go back rashly.

Empress Zhangsun beckoned to Xiao Ruoying, "Come, Yingniang, sit here."

“Okay, Auntie.” Xiao Ruoying sat down next to Empress Zhangsun.

"How long will it take to get back to my hometown?" Li Shimin asked, picking up his teacup.

"Young master said that the plane takes two hours, and the drive after the plane takes three hours." Li Lizhi had also asked Xiao Ran about this.

Xiao Ruoying picked up her phone and opened the map. "Your Majesty, the ancient city is here, and my hometown is in the mountainous area in the southwest."

Li Shimin leaned closer for a look, "Yelang!"

Li Shimin knew the location of the ancient city, but he did not know Xiao Ran's hometown.

"Yes, that's true, but the administrative divisions are constantly changing, and the names of many places are also changing."

"Has anything changed behind Chang'an?" Li Shimin asked casually.

"It's called Xi'an now."

Li Shimin frowned and muttered to himself, "Xi'an?"

"Does Yingniang think Xi'an or Chang'an is better?" Empress Zhangsun asked with a smile.

“Chang’an feels more atmospheric. I like Chang’an, and many people like it too, because compared to Xi’an, Chang’an has a richer historical heritage. It’s a microcosm of the Tang Dynasty, so its significance is definitely different,” Xiao Ruoying quickly said.

"Haha, very good." Li Shimin was very pleased.

It's true that Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying both really like the Tang Dynasty; even Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, and others could see that.

"Who changed this? Why would they change something perfectly fine?" Princess Yuzhang hadn't investigated this question before.

There is no internet access now, so I can't search online.

"It was changed by Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty, taking the meaning of 'stabilizing the northwest' from Xi'an."

As one of the founders of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was Li Shimin's political center and the core of the Zhenguan era, making it of extraordinary significance to him.

Upon suddenly hearing that his capital had been renamed in later generations, Li Shimin felt a little disappointed.
