As the capital of the Great Performance, Changdu is naturally the largest and most prosperous city in the whole Great Performance, and there are 38 main streets in the Changdu City, the widest of which can reach 150 meters; The thirty-eight main streets divide the capital into one hundred and ten residential areas, which are called "fangs", and the squares are separated by square doors; There are sixteen outer gates in the Changdu City alone.

Matching the large area of the Changdu City is the population of the Changdu City. The population of Changdu City is also the largest in the whole country, and because the palace is in the north of Changdu City, the houses closer to the palace are more expensive, and most of them are the locations of high-ranking officials and officials, so the population of Changdu is mainly distributed in the north of the city, and the population in the south of the city is relatively sparse.

Because of the large population, in order to facilitate management, a curfew was imposed after sunset in the capital city, and all 38 main roads were not allowed to pass through people. After the curfew, all the gates were closed, and it was not until the next day, when the bells and drums of the city were announced, that the gates were opened, and you could start moving.

Every square in the city has a Wuhou shop, that is, a sergeant station to maintain the security of this square; Stalls are not allowed on both sides of the main road in the city, and ordinary people's doors are not allowed to open the main road. All the shops are concentrated in the East and West Markets. The so-called East and West Markets start from the Suzaku Gate, which is directly south of the Imperial Palace, and follow the east-west street, with three squares to the east and three squares to the west to the west.

In both cities, there is a "municipal office", that is, a department that manages the market, and the municipal office opens the market every day with drums and beats gongs to close the market.

Of course. It is naturally impossible for such a large capital city to have only two cities, east and west, where you can go shopping and watch the excitement. In fact, there are shops and bustling markets in each workshop, such as cloth villages, rouge shops, restaurants, restaurants, etc., and some Fengyue Fields that are still open after the curfew. These shops also make life easier for the residents in the area. And the residents of the neighborhood can also come out and walk around the neighborhood after the curfew. Usually the people of Wuhou Shop just turn a blind eye.

The will of the imperial merchants that Qi Fenggu asked for for Shu Jin was also a timely meeting, because this was the time when the imperial merchants entered Beijing to worship. Every year, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the candidates for the imperial merchants are determined, although Shu Jin has not participated in the competition of the imperial merchants, but the time is just in time to enter Beijing with all the imperial merchants to worship.

At the same time, this is also the time when envoys from various countries, especially the subject countries of the Great Performance, enter Beijing to worship. Arguably. This is the time of year when the capital city meets.

After Shu Jin and the others arrived in Changdu, they lived in a post house called Xianfeng in Chongrenfang, northwest of Dongshi.

On the west side of Chongrenfang is the Imperial City, which can be said to be a concentration of hostels. Most of the scholars who came to Chang'an from other places to elect officials and participate in the imperial examinations lived here. But it is also a concentration of rich and powerful people, so those who do not have a certain value cannot afford to live here.

Shu Jin and the others checked in before the curfew. In the lobby of the post house, many people are chatting in twos and threes. Although the arrival of Shu Jin and his party did not cause any big sensation. But it also aroused the idea of many people.

A few people are dusty and ordinary, but they can afford to live in such a post house. Many of the businessmen who sat around and chatted began to secretly evaluate their origins.

Most of the people living in this Xianfeng inn are imperial merchants, but there are others. The guests in the post house didn't see what goods Shu Jin was carrying, so they couldn't guess their details. However, they all paid attention to Shu Jin and the others.

On the first night when Shu Jin and the others arrived in Changdu, they all went back to their rooms to rest, and dinner was also solved in their own rooms. So I didn't have any contact with these imperial merchants. And so the night passed.

Early the next morning, when the sky was faintly bright. Shu Jin and the others all woke up to the sound of dawn drums. First of all, the first drum sounded on the tower of Chengtianmen, the main gate of the Taiji Palace in the imperial city, and then, on the streets running north and south, the drums were beaten one after another. The gates of the palace and the gates of the squares opened one after another.

Along with the sound of the dawn drum, there are also some bells, the two sounds are intertwined, and the whole Changdu slowly wakes up in this sound, and the people of Changdu start a new day's life.

Shu Jin and his party cleaned up in the room, then walked out of the room, and after everyone met in the corridor, everyone walked down from the upper floor together, planning to go to the lobby for some breakfast.

There was breakfast in the post house, and Shu Jin and others ordered a few things at random. The freshly baked sesame cakes are golden and crispy, crispy and delicious; The steamed cake with the filling takes a bite and the mouth is full of oil; Served with dumpling soup, a soup made of soft noodles, can be adjusted to a sour and spicy taste, and the body is warmed all over the body after drinking.

Although everyone is used to Shu Jin's craftsmanship and is not picky, such a breakfast still makes everyone very full and satisfied.

Although Shu Jin came to Changdu to receive the decree and thank him, after all, this matter has not yet arrived, so everyone discussed it and planned to take a casual visit to Changdu today.

What the? Why don't you go and see King Yong?

Who is King Yong? The iron hat king above 10,000 people under one person, his old man lives in the imperial city at the moment, if you want to visit him, you must have the qualifications to enter the imperial city first, right? In a place like the palace, how can you trespass on non-summons? Therefore, everyone should still do what they should do, and when Yong Lao comes and tells them to go, they will go again.

The most prosperous shops in the Changdu City are in the East and West Markets, but the East and West Markets are officially open after noon, but they are located in Chongren Fang, which is full of shops and is very lively, and there are many good places to go:

Such as silk shops, coat and hat shops, jewelry shops, rouge gouache shops, Roman shops, knife and gun shops, saddle shop, as well as pawn shops, money shops, and even pen and ink bookstores. Moreover, there are many places to buy food here, such as dim sum shops, dried fruit and fruit shops, restaurants and so on.

Basically, there are as many stores as you want, so it's a question of where to go first and then where to go.

Everyone was studying the place in the lobby, the voice was not high, but it was not deliberately lowered, and the people next to them listened to a few ears, and they could roughly hear that these people were coming to Changdu for the first time. So, some curious people couldn't help but come forward and talk to Shu Jin and others.

It was a middle-aged man with a rich figure and a kind face, wearing a long robe and a big hat, but from the gold ring on his hand, the jade belt around his waist, and the brocade lines on his clothes, he knew that this man was not weak. He didn't know who Shu Jin and the others were, so he bowed his hand and made a round of salutes. Then he asked:

"Everyone, be polite. In Xiaquan Jiayou, from Ansu Prefecture. Dare to ask, where do you come from? But the first time you came to Changdu? (To be continued......)
