Mo Ye couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Could it be that this is what you just said, Master, the privilege granted by the imperial court to the Great Chamber of Commerce that holds the emblem seal?" ”

Lin Shan nodded and said, "Since it is a privilege, it cannot be viewed with conventional eyes, and the 'Tianzheng Gate' will inevitably be closed in Shenshi." However, the imperial court only stipulated that convoys of more than 30 caravans must be subject to this restriction, and the 'Tiger Gate' that was open until the time of the Xushi period was not restricted to small caravans until half an hour after the gate was closed. ”

Mo Ye thought for a moment and then asked, "These two gates are very finely divided, so how is the third gate divided?" ”

Although Lin Shan didn't sleep all night last night, since the carriage left Xingjia Village, he has been taking the time to lie on the pile of books in the car to sleep lightly, and he is almost rested at this time. Therefore, for Mo Ye, who had been bored in the carriage for a long time, and was full of curiosity at this time, he was very patient to answer questions. Anyway, it's okay to be idle along the way, since Mo Ye has this heart of inquiry, he will use it as a chat by the way.

"The third smallest gate is called 'Fish Gate', which actually means 'remaining'." Lin Shan smiled and said, "The 'Fish Gate' is dedicated to the common people and wandering in and out of the industrial capital during the day, and it is the last of the three city gates to be closed. And at night, if there is an urgent need, it can also be temporarily opened for the convenience of the people. ”

Mo Ye raised her eyebrows slightly, and silently analyzed Lin Shan's explanation of the city gate just now in her heart, and then she smiled and said: "'Tianzheng Gate' is famous for its heroic and righteous spirit, and it is worthy of being called the gate of Kyoto in the past. The 'Tiger Gate' has the meaning of 'auxiliary gate', which is second to the main gate, but in the scope of ability, it is actually no less than the main gate, and even undertook most of the work of the main gate in the Taiping period. And the "fish gate" has the meaning of "surplus", and does not forget to make up for the shortcomings in the overall atmosphere of the city tower. There are three doors in the industry, and the significance is extraordinary! ”

"Listen to what you mean. It seems that a great deal of interest in the city is beginning to develop. Lin Shan looked at the excited look in Mo Ye's eyes, smiled for a moment, and directly dispelled the curiosity in her heart with a sentence: "But although we are going to stay here tonight, we don't have much time to wander around this largest city in the Middle Continent." ”

When Mo Ye heard this, her eyes naturally showed a hint of disappointment, but this unpleasant mood only hovered in her heart for a short time before dissipating. She knew that this was not the time for fun, and she was not in a leisurely mood from the beginning. So it's time to put away the fun and have fun.

She grinned at Lin Shan. said: "With such a large commercial capital, you have to have fun if you want to play, but if you want to have fun, it is estimated that you can't play enough in one night." Case. Don't waste time and worry, it's never too late to come back and have fun when we have time. ”

Lin Shan said happily: "I am very relieved that you can think so. ”

The large caravan in front of it faded away. After that, there really was no caravan of similar strength coming up from behind. Along the way, there were some small caravans, but most of them were only the size of three or five wagons, or they galloped away at a faster speed. Either they were thrown behind by Ma An with a whip to overtake. After about half an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the west of the capital of the city.

According to Lin Shan's plan, they arrived at Yangjun at about noon, and at that hour, even if Ma An drove the car fast, it would be impossible to reach Yedu Hou from Yangjun in one afternoon. After passing through this large city, it is directly connected to E-gun, between Yeto and Kyoto, as an overnight stay. However, from the county seat of the beginning to Yang County and then to Yedu, this section of the road will take a lot of time to spare. So when the carriage came to the gate of the city. Seeing that there were long queues in front of the three city gates, the three people in the carriage were not in a hurry.

When he was bored, Mo Ye pulled the curtain of the car door and glanced outside, and then said to Lin Shan casually: "Yedu is really a big city, and the three city gates classify the people entering the city into three teams, and it is still inevitable that there will be congestion." Now that I think about it, if His Majesty the Emperor hadn't put so much thought into this seemingly rigid city gate, once the merchants and people mixed and caused chaos, it would really be difficult to control it. ”

"In fact, the previous dynasty did not vigorously develop commercial activities as much as it does now, and the negative results of today's positive support for commercial activities are also obvious, so His Majesty must pay more attention to this matter."

Lin Shan leaned on the side panel of the carriage and said lightly: "After His Majesty the Emperor promulgated the new commercial policy, there has been an increase in business travel in all major cities and counties, and the industry is the most. And if there are too many things, it is easy to mess up. Just a few years ago, there was a mess in front of the gate of the capital city, because the speed of entering the city was too slow, the people and the business travelers had disputes, and the matter finally evolved into a vicious incident of beating people and robbing goods. Since then, His Majesty the Emperor has put a lot of thought into the control of order in this area. ”

Mo Ye couldn't help but admire: "There is nothing in the world that can be done without hard work, and the industry can be managed so standardly, it seems that it is the result of the emperor's own efforts." As the king of a country with all kinds of opportunities, it is really tiring to be able to think about such a trivial matter. ”

After Lin Shan heard what Mo Ye said, a somewhat strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he waved his sleeves and said, "Who told him to suddenly like doing business?" Kyoto's overseas business is under his nose, and he must pay close attention to it, and of course he will not relax the business of the largest shopping mall in the interior. ”

Mo Ye heard some changes in Lin Shan's title when she said this, and her eyes naturally revealed a hint of cunning, and said with a smile: "Master, could it be that you are very familiar with the emperor?" ”

As early as a few months ago, Lin Shan had revealed in front of Mo Ye that he had a relationship with the current imperial court that could not be underestimated, and Mo Ye had not asked in detail about it. At this time, her question actually didn't contain much seriousness, it was just a joke for most of the sentences, and it was an idea that wanted to liven up the atmosphere without warning.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shan gradually put away his smile, and then said calmly: "Jokes should be stopped in moderation, and the most unfunny joke in the world is on the head of the Son of Heaven." ”

Mo Ye knew that this topic was indeed not suitable for further extension, so she had to tease half of Lin Shan's eyebrows and didn't say anything more.

At the three city gates to the west of the Yedu City Tower, the queue in front of the Tianzheng Gate was long, Mo Ye quietly glanced at it, and immediately found that this column of more than a dozen carriages was the large caravan that had just overtaken his own carriage. They should have arrived much earlier on their own, but it seemed that they were only halfway through the city, and the vehicles exposed outside the city were still entering the city at a slow pace.

When Mo Ye saw this scene, he couldn't help but smack his tongue and said secretly: This charter for entering the city really has some doorways, if there is no restriction on the time for a large caravan to enter the city, and at this time, if such a group of caravans comes, won't the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate be so tired that their eyes are full of gold stars and their scalps are numb? But...... This is really too strict!

Mo Ye can't say whether it is strict or not, but from the point of view of speed, the march is so slow, if it is not strictly investigated, could it be that the officers and soldiers defending the city are chatting with the caravan coachman?

However, although the caravan was large, the goods carried by the caravan were basically the same, so the inspection work of the 'Tianzheng Gate' into the city was actually simpler than the inspection work of the 'Humen' in some respects.

There are also many small business travelers among the people who enter the city in the 'Tiger Gate', and in addition, most of the people who enter the city go to the 'Yumen'. However, some of the servant convoys composed of large families from other places also chose to enter the city at the 'Tiger Gate', which was more or less due to the psychological reason of being poor.

However, Humen did not strictly prohibit the people from passing through guò, so in the crowd of people entering the city in Humen, there were also some people who entered the city alone. This makes the crowd in front of the Tiger Gate the most complex of the three gates, and the inspection work of the gate guards is more complicated and strict.

When Lin Shan and his entourage arrived at the Yedu City Tower, the queue in front of the three city gates, except for the Tianzheng Gate at the entrance of the large caravan, the length of the people gathered in front of the other two city gates was almost equal, so Ma An chose the team in front of the Tiger Gate in the middle to park the car with more horses and fewer hikers.

But after waiting for about Mo Cha Kung Fu, there was a noticeable difference in the length of the three teams.

Because the inspection procedures are monotonous, the process is stable, and there are no new carriages and horses entering the city, so the fastest entry into the city is the big caravan. The second is the procession in front of Yumen, which is mainly scattered people on foot, which may be related to the fact that there are many local residents in the procession. In contrast to the left and right, the team in front of the Tiger Gate in the middle has become the slowest to enter the city.

When the hour goes into dusk, it gets dark quickly, and today in the afternoon, the climate has changed, and the clouds in the sky have a tendency to pile up, so although it is not yet the hour when the sun is completely sinking in the west, the sky is darkened in advance, making it difficult to sit in the car and even want to read a book.

After sitting in the car bored for a while, Mo Ye couldn't help but approach the door of the car, lifted the curtain and looked around. Unexpectedly, Lin Shan, who closed his eyes at this time, seemed to be about to fall asleep again, suddenly said in a deep voice: "People and horses outside the car come from all directions, and they don't know the roots, so don't pay attention to provoke, and sit in the car obediently." ”

Mo Ye hurriedly responded and sat back in the car. She could understand the concerns contained in Lin Shan's words, it was her first time to see the city, and she couldn't suppress her excitement in her heart, and she forgot about it for a while. So now, after Lin Shan's reminder, Mo Ye immediately realized this problem that he had to pay attention to when he was in the field.

It's just that it's really boring to sit in the car!

So after reluctantly sitting quietly in the car for a while, Mo Ye leaned on the pile of books beside her, and as she exhaled a long breath, her body collapsed.

At this time, Lin Shan opened his eyes, and after he glanced at Mo Ye, he seemed to think of something. After a moment's hesitation, he pulled the long, flat and narrow wooden box he had brought with him and opened the lid.

Hearing the sound, Mo Ye looked sideways and saw Lin Shan pulling something out of the box.

As soon as Lin Shan raised his head, he saw Mo Ye's gaze, so he simply threw the thing at Mo Ye. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Biquge www.biquge.info to vote for recommendations and monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation
