Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty, Nanjing in the Liao Dynasty, the Central Capital in the Jin Dynasty, and then the Dadu in front of us now, plus the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Beiping in the Republic of China, and the imperial capital of New China.

It is rare for such a huge city to have a different name in almost every era, and Liu Yu feels that he is stepping into history

Entering from the Shuncheng Gate, Liu Yu saw the old Ding who led the team smiling and greeting to a row of single-door houses on the side of the road, which looked like a tax collection place.

The entrance was full of people dressed as merchants, many of whom were of different races. In fact, Liu Yu feels like a foreign race here.

In this horse team composed of all Northland Han people, except for the somewhat weird but basically intelligible Northland Han sound, I can't see the appearance of the ancient Han people in later TV dramas.

Messy hair, short robe on the right side.

Liu Yu looked at the straight-embellished kaftan he bought from a Hanfu store in a certain treasure, and the kind of crowned headgear he wore on his head for filming in a regular manner, and a huge sense of disobedience came to his face.

"Depressed, the play has been played!"

"Little brother, we are going to deliver goods to the owner's leather goods shop, if there is a place to go, let's dispose of it here." Lao Ding, who had paid the tax for entering the city, said to Liu Yu while gesturing to the team to move forward

"Don't dare to bother, I don't know where your owner's shop is, how far away is Haizi City?" Liu Yu has actually seen most of the plans of the capital on the x degree, so he just wants to go with someone he knows relatively well, what if he runs into trouble or something?

"We are going to Haizi, and it is cheap to catch the little brother." In the same car with Liu Yu was a rough man surnamed Zhang, and Liu Yu's shameless questioning along the way made the man feel very impressed.

Lao Ding turned his head to look at him and said nothing.

"If it's troublesome, don't dare to work hard." Liu Yu saw Lao Ding's behavior and knew that he was a little reluctant,

Although I don't know the reason, but I still understand to retreat, it's really not good, just walk by yourself, it's not bad to look slowly, but this day seems to be going to fall, I don't know if there is a curfew or something in Yuanshi, or, find an inn to live in?

"It's very troublesome, so let's go with us if you don't like pickles." Lao Ding was a little reluctant, but he didn't refuse.

In the final analysis, although Lao Ding has a good impression of Liu Yu, a person who dresses as a southerner but speaks a strange northern Chinese accent, he is not without doubts.

The Yuan people are still very tolerant of merchants, even if they are southern merchants. But for Lao Ding, not wanting to cause trouble is a deep obsession, anyway, it will only come in a moment and a half, and then they will break up.

The convoy walked slowly on the street, the flow of people was a little large, but fortunately there was no pause, along the way, there were all kinds of livestock fences on the left and right, and behind the fences were wide tents,

Cows, horses, sheep, camels, and even Liu Yu saw two elephants, and the air was impurized with the fishy smell of various animal feces.

Although he was not used to it, Liu Yu still looked left and right with great interest, listening to all kinds of strange and completely unfamiliar languages, until there was a large three-story platform,

Because it was very conspicuous, Liu Yu took a few more looks, but what stood on it was the goods that made Liu Yu very uncomfortable, and this kind of goods was people.

That's right, it's people, there are all kinds of people, there are many men and women who are obviously dressed as Han Chinese, and there are also Westerners with deep eyes and high noses.

Liu Yu couldn't tell whether he was an Arab or a Central Asian, there was no old or weak, all of them were young and middle-aged, and a fat man shouted something, which was very much like an auction in later generations.

In fact, he was mentally prepared before he came over, but when he really saw the live people clearly marking the price in this livestock market, Liu Yu still had an obvious psychological reaction. Commonly known as diaphragm, it is very uncomfortable, of course, it can only be uncomfortable, he knows that he can't do anything.

Even Lao Zhang, who was in the same car, told Liu Yu with great interest that he must come to buy a daughter-in-law when he earns money in the future. Liu Yu echoed the coarse face of anticipation, and praised the other party's ideal for being great by the way.

This is an era when people can be sold as goods, and Liu Yu reminded himself in his heart that if he doesn't want to fall into that situation, he must be careful everywhere.

The traverser has no aura, so no one will see you bowing your head and crying and shouting for devotion and loyalty. Liu Yu knows that at least he doesn't, otherwise he will be questioned by Lao Ding if he wants to take a ride, what a tragic protagonist this must be!

Haizi, later generations were called Jishui Tan. There is also the famous Houhai Sea in the imperial capital, which is also part of it. In more than ten years, there will be a man named Guo Shoujing, who presided over the construction of a canal from Tongzhou to here.

This artificial canal, named Tonghui River, connects the north-south Grand Canal, so that the southern grain ships can directly reach the wharf in Dadu.

At the same time, it also greatly promoted the development of commerce and trade, and most of them became a prosperous commercial city, far more than any other place in the world at the same time.

Liu Yu estimated that it took almost two hours to walk from Shunchengmen to here, which is less than an hour according to here. There was noticeably more foot traffic here, and it was noticeably cleaner, with the wide road being dominated by overlapping crowds.

Looking at the clothes and accessories, you can know that most of them are wealthy families, that is, the legendary middle class, and there are also people who are either rich or noble.

There was very little room for carriages to pass, and the coachmen were careful to avoid the crowds, as if they were to be in big trouble. Seeing this scene, Liu Yu decided to say goodbye to Lao Ding, after all, there was a lot of trouble for others.

Liu Yu left an ingots of ten taels of silver as a reward, and Lao Ding did not refuse, and enthusiastically pointed out to Liu Yu the direction of the owner's leather goods. and informed him of the name of the auxiliary son "Mao Yuanxiang", and the name of the owner should be written on the top and down.

Liu Yu said goodbye and wrote these down in his heart, thinking that he could also have a good relationship if he visited in the future, and it seemed that the Ding family was still good.

The inn introduced by Lao Ding was on the left side of an intersection, and Liu Yu followed the flow of people and found it without much effort.

The two-storey wooden building has a thick cloth signboard that reads "Sunrise Inn" in traditional Chinese. Maybe it's because it's not dinner time yet, and there are not many people in the inn, so I can't see Xiao Er running up and down with a cloth brush.

Liu Yu stood at the door for a while, but no one stepped forward to ask him, "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”

The first floor looks like a restaurant, and the counter in the back is estimated to be selling alcohol, and a person who looks like a tent room is looking down and turning over something.

Liu Yu had no choice but to walk over and ask, "Is there a guest room?" Stay. ”

The tent raised his head, squinted his eyes, and then smiled all over his face, "I'm slacking off the official, do you want to go to the room or?"

"An upper room, quiet, the best on the street, how much does the house cost, do you need to pledge?" Liu Yu interrupted him impatiently.

Official, Liu Yu thought of the famous Ximen official, and there was a chill.

"If an official forgives his sins, that is, he is facing the street, so how can he be quiet?

One hundred and seventy for one day and one night on the house, settled at noon, no delay, no arrears, no pledge, you see "the service attitude of the account is still very commendable."

"It's so expensive, it's not a bully, it wasn't this price the year before last." Counter-offer is the most practical life skill Liu Yu has learned in the four years since graduation.

Looking at the furnishings on the counter at random, several fat stoneware jars were covered with red paper, and a few words were written on the paper on the altar and I couldn't read it clearly.

"Huh? The officials didn't know. The tent looked at Liu Yu in surprise.

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Yu spread his hands very innocently, how could my brother know?

"The official is dressed like this, isn't it to hit the south? I don't know that the Great Khan has already issued a requisition order. ”

"But so-and-so didn't come from the south to ask for something that was covered by Lingsha? Who to conscript. Liu Yu felt that something seemed familiar, but he couldn't grasp it.

"If it weren't for the southerners, it wouldn't matter, didn't the officials know that the Great Khan had issued an edict to conquer the Song Dynasty in June? As a result, everything rose, and the housing prices of small shops naturally rose with it. ”

"Then open the room facing the street, and write down the money first, and if the house is not clean, then take care of it." Liu Yu casually slapped a silver ingot of ten taels and went over.

Zheng Song, what is it, Liu Yu doesn't care, it has nothing to do with him.

The tent hurriedly took a look, full of snowflake silver, shining with painful eyes, where did he dare to say more, took a wooden card, and handed it to Liu Yu.

"Where does the official say, if you don't like it, even if you look for a little old man, it's not a little old man who boasts, the entire Xiejie, no, the entire Haizi City, you can't find a cleaner guest room."

Liu Yu followed a little second who led the way to the second floor, and his Tianzi No. C room was in the third room on the second floor.

Push it open and see, a very large living room, behind the half shelf wall is the bedroom, there is no smell in the room, and the furnishings are simple.

Liu Yu was very satisfied, and threw a tael of silver to the little boy and asked him to treat some wine and food. It didn't take long for Xiao Er to bring a few people up, and after being busy for a while, he saw that a small table was full of dishes.

Liu Yu took a look, the portions were quite a lot, a plate that should be mutton was piled up, and a pot of wine was at least half a catty,

Xiao Er looked at Liu Yu's satisfied appearance on the side, and said carefully, "Are the officials still satisfied?" There are fifty or so left."

"Yes, those reward you!" Finally, the local tyrant took a hand, and Liu Yu was very generous.

"So the official please use it slowly, the little one will go down first, and if there is something to call, there is" Xiao Er wanted to speak and stopped

"How, just say it." Liu Yu is very strange.

"The newcomers may not know that there is a curfew in this capital, and the officials must not go out to avoid causing trouble." Xiao Er kindly reminded.

Damn, Liu Yu feels that there are 10,000 grass and mud horses running through in his heart, and in this evil feudal society, the nightlife is not for people to live.

Fortunately, although the taste is not very good, and there is a lack of various seasonings, the pure green pollution-free food still makes Liu Yu very proud.

As for the wine, the degree is a bit low, only a little bit of wine, it should be some kind of home-brewed fruit wine mixed with milk or goat's milk. There is a feeling of fruit milk in the future, that is, it has a bit of a fishy smell, but it is acceptable.

The most important thing is that this meal cost Liu Yu a total of one or two pieces of silver, and these two silvers are worth more than 120 RMB, and in later generations, a few people will have a barbecue.

So, I ate and drank enough and took a hot bath, and then changed my clothes by the way. Liu Yu had no choice but to count the things he brought by the dancing candlelight.

Look at how the first pot of gold should be earned, how to try to keep a low profile and not leave trouble, this is a technical job. Liu Yu picked his teeth and thought nonsense, and slowly fell asleep
