The third watch is coming~

⌒⌒⌒

Gao Qian's side is now in great need of people who can help, but he felt a little embarrassed when he thought about the people in the car, and finally chose to give up doing so.

Because the reason why Cen Chi left the Prime Minister's Mansion was somewhat special, and it was very different from his previous purpose of leisure, and it was dangerous, so the Prime Minister's Mansion had calculated a set of confidentiality regulations in advance for this trip.

Specifically, in addition to the few people who left the Prime Minister's Mansion, the peers must be in step with each other along the way, and other participants are not allowed to get involved, so even if the high potential Xiangye's subordinates have a certain amount of power, they cannot be used without permission.

Because the personnel did not arrive, the high divers could only wait in place. After the Yan family's convoy all left the city, outside the gate of the car in the inner city, the empty place suddenly seemed very open, and only the three carriages of the Gao Qian group were parked, but they didn't go, which looked really strange.

A soldier guarding the city came to inquire about the situation, and knew that Gao Qian was just waiting for someone, and he didn't care about him, so he quickly returned to his post.

Military orders are like a mountain, even in peacetime, and the soldiers who guard the gates of the capital should do the same. If Gao Qian didn't encounter any difficulties, or if his car was simply parked there, it would hinder the vehicles from leaving the city, and he had to move out of the city for the time being, and the city guards would not be enthusiastic enough to offer help.

The city defenders have their own duties and responsibilities, but they are not idle people. After many years of guarding the city gate, the longer the experience of guarding the city gate, the more negative experience there will be after leaving the gate without permission, causing chaos.

The driver of the third carriage was supposed to drive out of the city in turn, but was rejected by Gao Qian. In the end, the car was carrying a healer, who had no skills other than medical skills. Gao Qian felt that leaving him alone in the carriage was prone to problems if the carriage was left unattended.

At this point in time, it was just in time for the hottest business of various restaurants, and Gao Qian suddenly felt a little regretful. The coachman shouldn't have been allowed to go shopping at this time and have a flattering time.

However, several people in his line were specially selected by the Prime Minister, even if they were coachmen, they were also clever people. Buying food was not a difficult task, Gao Qian only waited in place for a while, and the coachman ran back with the packed food in a sweat.

At the restaurant, if you want speed, you can increase the price. On the way back and forth, the coachman was running. I didn't dare to slack off at all, so I also increased the speed as much as possible.

If it weren't for the Yan family's caravan making trouble, maybe it wouldn't be until the meal was bought. They had to stay where they were, eating and drinking enough to wait for their chance to set out.

The coachman returned to his position, and the three carriages started to leave the city, and the official documents and ministers had all been completed, and the procedures for leaving the city were also very simple and smooth.

After leaving the city. The three carriages soon made their way up the wide, well-paved official road. The carriage wasn't fast, but it wasn't slow. On the official road connecting the Kyoto section, the road condition is excellent, so even to ensure the comfort of the passengers, the horse-drawn carriage can still move at a certain speed rate compared to the country road.

As soon as he was out of the city, Gao Qian saw the Yan family caravan not far away.

At first, Gao Qian thought that something had happened to the Yan family's caravan after leaving the city. That's why they walked for so long first, but they only walked such a short distance. But then, Gao Diver found himself quickly approaching the Yan family's convoy. It's not that they're delayed, it's that they're walking very slowly.

Compared with the usual speed of the cargo caravan, Gao Qian felt that the speed of his three cars was slow enough, but he didn't expect the Yan family caravan to send out today was slower than him. Not only did he quickly catch up with the tail car of the Yan family's caravan. With the speed of his own side, there is also a situation that can surpass the past.

When overtaking in the middle of the road. Gao Qian subconsciously observed, and faintly felt that the overall speed of the Yan family's caravan seemed to be affected by the three caravans that joined later. But no matter what, these are things that have nothing to do with him, Gao Qian kept in mind Xiangye's instructions, led his own line of three cars, took the itinerary as the first task, and quickly copied from the side of the Yan family's convoy to the front.

Although he didn't want to care about the Yan family's side, when the two groups of cars passed by, Gao Qian still found a problem, the young man Guanyu who was driving in the three vans was gone, and his place had been replaced by an ordinary groom.

I guess I got in the car, right? Of course, a person of his status will not always do the business of driving cars.

Gao Qian didn't think too deeply, skipped what he had just seen and discovered, and concentrated on the road.

……

Because Kyoto's horse restriction regulations are extremely strict, and only commercial horse-drawn carriages are exempted, so most of the vehicles entering and leaving the inner city are cargo trucks that abide by the regulations and act more bluntly, so that they can depart together and unload at the same time.

Horse-drawn carriages carrying people generally do not like to go around the inner city, but they also have a place to go in a divided procession.

For the manned vans that are flexible in mobility, they generally prefer to park in the inns established on the outskirts of the city, and the biggest difference between this kind of inn and the inner city inn lies in the construction of transportation.

Horse-drawn carriages were stocked in suburban inns, and a fixed number of grooms were hired for travelers. Half of the operating profits of this type of inn come from the income from renting horse-drawn carriages, which is an area where it is difficult for inner-city inns to be constrained by the rules of horses.

Gao Qian led his three carriages out of the North City Gate and headed north. Half an hour later, they came to the Dengfeng Inn in the northern suburbs.

The operation of inns in the suburbs of the city, after several years of training and changes, has now formed a relatively fixed system. Kyoto Koyo is close to the East China Sea, and only the south, west, and north suburbs have this type of inn. The three representative inns are actually all industries under the name of the same big businessman, and Dengfeng Inn is one of the top three.

Most travelers traveling north of the city, or coming from the north, choose to pause here. Sometimes travelers who entered the city before the gates closed would return to the inn for a night's rest. The business of the Dengfeng Inn has been very prosperous, and the inn itself has not been deceived because of this, the shopkeeper is very smart, but he uses this brain to do business honestly.

In order for business to be prosperous and long-lasting, the persistence of credibility is very important.

In addition, because it is close to the center of national power, and today is a person who cares about business very much, in addition to giving businessmen a variety of support in national policies, the control of business actions is also very clear. Influenced by this spirit, in addition to the major commercial houses in the inner city to strictly suppress the business house atmosphere, the same is true of the commercial houses in the surrounding area.

The big boss behind the Dengfeng Inn is really one of the Beijing businessmen, and he has done an excellent job of self-discipline in this regard.

Because Gao Diver just wanted to pass by here, he stopped for the time being, so he was beckoned by the inn guy to rest in the shed area outside the store. The three carriages did not drive into the grass hut behind the inn and parked, but leaned against the edge of the official road outside the shed as they were, so as to facilitate the immediate departure of the inn.

The main building of the inn is not high, but it occupies a large area, and there are about 100 rooms inside, but in general, it is enough for guests who do not need to stay in the hotel to rest in the shed area outside. The inn has two sheds, the back of which is equivalent to a stable, and the shed that is built facing the official road has a very different meaning.

It is said that it is a shed area, only because there is no closed wall in this area, only a flat roof supported by hundreds of stout wooden pillars to protect from the sun and rain. This flat roof is not made of thatch, but is evenly paved with a layer of gray tiles, and the bottom of the tiled roof is neatly cleaned, and the tables and chairs are complete, no less than the indoor hall.

When this shed was first built, the person in charge was carefully observed and considered, and such a strange architectural feature was also imperceptibly formed by the characteristics of travelers.

Gao Qian sat at a table under the shed with a coachman, sipping hot tea while looking around aimlessly. Perhaps because it was lunch time and because the sea on the east coast of Kyoto was approaching, the number of tourists who came to watch the ceremony increased, and the seating rate of the more than 100 tables arranged under the tiled tent has increased by 60% or 70%.

Most of these guests are with baggage or some goods. A few big men sitting at a table on the periphery threw a few pheasants, a few smoked animal legs, and a deerskin at their feet, and it seemed that they were going to take them to Kyoto and exchange them for some quick money in a crowded place. Fortunately, the shed area is wide, and they will not affect others to walk in such a casual way.

At a table farther away, several of the guests who were eating appeared to be non-nationals.

The people at this table were dressed differently from the locals, and although there were men and women, they were stained with strange-smelling spices. Under the tiled shed with excellent air circulation without a wall, this smell can stay without knowing whether it is fragrant or smelly.

Among the other diners who are a little further away, there are also frequent eyebrows, and not everyone can accept this spice. Fortunately, the Outlanders did not sit indoors, otherwise the smell of the spice would have been even more pungent.

In addition to this oddity, there was not a single vegetable on the plate on their dinner table, and the meat was whole roast chicken and whole leg of lamb, and even the braised beef was a sturdy piece, which was served without cutting. This feeding structure makes it easy for onlookers to associate them with some tribe of madmen who are rumored to live in the Far North.

They don't use chopsticks, they just pinch the pieces of meat with their hands and bite and eat, just eat heartily, regardless of the gravy and oil splashing all over the table. There were no guests sitting around them, so it must be because everyone was aware of it and was a little wary of taking care of these people.

Gao Qian retracted his gaze, the people and things around him already had a general outline in his eyes, of course, he observed these, not with the mentality of appreciating the characteristics of people's livelihood in various places, he was just very concerned about whether there would be zài risk factors among these people, and the result of observation was negative.
