Qujiang River is located in the southeast of Chang'an City, and there are old ponds in the Qin and Han dynasties. Therefore, in the Sui period, Yu Wenkai was ordered to supervise the construction of Daxing City, and dug the Yellow Canal into the Qujiang River in Zhongnan Mountain, taking the theory that "the land is not enough in the southeast, and the sea is the pool", which makes the scale of the pond water even larger.

Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian was disgusted with the word "song", so he was also known as Furong Pond.

Qujiang in the narrow sense is located in the east of the city between the Leyouyuan and Shaoling Plains. As for the Qujiang River in a broader sense, it is a large scenic spot in the southeast of Chang'an City centered on Qujiang Pond, including Qujiang Pond, Huangyuan Furong Garden, Xijing Daci'en Temple, Tongshanfang Apricot Garden, Chengdong Leyouyuan and a series of scenic spots.

Early in the morning, Yang Li asked the doorman to prepare the car, and after leaving Pingkangfang, she went straight south along the long street of Qixiamen East in the east of the fang, and arrived at Jinchangfang in the south of the city. After getting off the car, you can see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda towering in the middle of the workshop.

The layout of residential buildings in Chang'an City has its own law of being expensive in the east and cheap in the west, and virtual in the south and real in the north. Generally, the mansions of the powerful are often concentrated in the Zhufang District around Dongshi, which is prosperous and convenient to meet all kinds of life needs. However, the southeast Zhufang, which is close to Qujiang Pond, is also quite popular because of its beautiful scenery and suitable for living.

Pingkangfang residence is only Yang Li's short-term residence, her real residence in Chang'an City is still located near Jinchangfang Ci'en Temple, close to the east theater of Ci'en Temple, and the scale is more than double that of Pingkangfang residence.

The theater covers an area of seven or eight acres, surrounded by a fence, and there is only one shed built of bamboo and wood in the middle of the building.

There are only a few people in the audience on the stage, and most of them are still reluctant to buy a copper coin, but just gather around the stage and sit on the ground.

But at the moment, the people around the stage are not interested in preaching the scriptures on the stage at all, and there are many people who make noise, "Don't listen to the scriptures, you have to listen to the teasing of Pingkangfang!" ”

There were many believing Buddhists present who were disgusted with these noisy people, and couldn't help but scold, "Listen to the voices of those prostitutes, get out of the theater and go to Pingkangfang to find it!" Those lowly prostitutes are just flesh and skin, and they will be like the virtuous laymen on the stage who give you lectures and accumulate blessings? Born with a dry appearance, there is no Kaiyuan in his life, don't say playing with skin and flesh, I'm afraid it smells bad! ”

Chang'an city money, Wude Kaiyuan Tongbao is the most precious, Gaozong Qianfeng cast Qianfeng Quanbao new money to replace the old money, but because the quality of the new money is too simple and rough, only in Chang'an trial for one year to stop. The quality of money is related to people's livelihood, and it is a metaphor for life, which is the difference between high and low.

The noisy person was ridiculed for his poor life, so he was naturally embarrassed, but after a while, he sneered and said, "Next month, there will be nobles in Beijing, and they will be teased in Qujiang, and the people of Xijing will be invited to play and have fun. The old slave carries a clay sculpture and stone carving, eager to live in the future, if he sees you at the meeting, knock down your minions! ”

The noisy people scolded and left, and there were many people who didn't know what was going on next to them who were curious when they heard the words, and they chased after them to ask what was going on, and for a while the stage was already more than half empty. The blessings of the next life are still not as good as the current drama after all.

Yang Li stood in front of the mansion, listening to the noise of the theater next door, and couldn't help but sigh, "A word from a famous king, all people follow the law." But only one night later, Xijing Shishu has already discussed this matter, but imagine what kind of noise it is to join the club in May! ”

"Salty and light, it's not a scene of your ambassador's wealth laying lady!"

The servant girl Ah Gui said with a smile after hearing this.

"Don't be unreasonable to your master!"

Out of the door came a burly man, with dark spots on his cheeks, and his beard was unkempt, which was the custom of cutting off the hair of the servants.

This strong man is the father of the servant girl Ah Gui, and he is also the leader of Yang Li's guards in Xijing, he stepped forward and did not salute, but said, "Fourth lady, the two mansions in Dongshi have been reloaded, and the property has been transported back to this house." ”

Yang Li sighed again in her heart after hearing this, the opponents in the township were too fierce, and they directly connected with the official power of Xijing to suppress her family's mansions in the two cities of Xijing, Beijing, and Beijing. The old business partners in Xijing City also took advantage of the fire to loot and wanted to lower the price of goods, so that although her family had a wild cargo route, there was nowhere to sell it.

"Dongshi Mansion Shop Deed, did you send it to Danyang Gong's house?"

Walking into the house, Yang Li asked again.

"I sent it, his family hated me and my slave was ugly, and he didn't even let the door in."

The guard Ah Jiang said in a loud voice, not ashamed of being looked down upon, but frowned and said worriedly, "Now that another one has been sent, we only have three mansions left in the East Market." In another month, another batch of goods will arrive in Beijing, and none of them will accept the goods, and they will sell ...... market."

"Money is a small matter, it is important to redeem those shop workers first, and if you keep money, you will be empty, and people can still make plans later."

Yang Li sighed and said that many of the shop workers in the two cities were imprisoned on charges of dominating the market, and most of these shop workers have been walking in Xijing for more than ten years, and the experience they have accumulated in the market is not something that money can measure.

Although the shops in the two cities are also precious, if you can invite those nobles to send a message to rescue people and keep the family talents, it is useless to feel distressed.

She came to Xijing this time to be a money-free boy. People are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, I just hope that these people in Xijing don't have too big an appetite and want to squeeze her family to death.

However, she is not a passive character, she has been thinking hard all night from last night to now, and then she muttered again, "I will check the gifts later, and I will visit these people's houses again." Yesterday's cross-street farce, finally some hard work, I hope to be able to go straight to the noble people today. Qujiang will make a grand drama, and when the time comes, it will be indispensable for the nobles to gather, and all the goods in the southern regions can also take advantage of this to prevail in the city, and they will only make it difficult for my family, so that they will not have a grudge against the financial benefits that will be entered. ”

It didn't make sense for her to think so, but she still underestimated the greed of those nobles.

It's not quite accurate to say this, because when I visited a few houses, I basically couldn't see the masters who were in charge, and I was directly stopped by the slaves who welcomed them. When Yang Li talked about rescuing the shopkeeper, he often talked about him, and when it came to the next time to receive the goods, it was the lion who opened his mouth.

After a visit, Yang Li couldn't help but be frustrated, and after boarding the car at the side door of a family, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "These slaves really want to peel me off my skin and bones." My family is full of goods, and the price is secretly one percent lower than that of others, and this benefit is that they hide themselves and do not serve the master's house, and now they want to win another three points, which is really hateful! ”

"Can't the lady directly expose their corruption to those masters?"

The maidservant Ah Gui asked curiously.

Yang Li smiled bitterly when she heard this, pointed to the pawn outside the car and said, "Do you think I believe you or those gangsters on the street?" How can those slaves, who are in charge of the master's finances, be used by ordinary slaves? What's more, how can I, a businessman, be in the master's hall ordinarily? ”

After hearing this, the servant girl Ah Gui nodded seriously and said, "This is also the truth, that emperor is so poor that he wants to eat Taicang old rice, and he still doesn't look down on his wife." After leaving last night, he also looked for Aye, saying that as long as Aya could move the lady to serve him outside the house, he would help Aya seek a background. ”

When Yang Li heard this, her face turned cold again, and after a moment of silence, she said, "After he leaves Beijing, he still sends two people to break his leg on the way, don't do anything in Xijing City, otherwise you will have to visit." I was afraid that I couldn't help it, and I was going to cut him. ”

Sitting in the car in silence for a long time, Yang Li waved her hand again and said, "Don't go home first, go to Quchifang to have a look, and see if you can find an opportunity to restrain the slaves." ”

Quchifang has been located at the southern edge of the city, half water and half ridge in the square, and many other businesses in the garden. Across the vast Qujiang Pond, opposite is the Imperial Garden Hibiscus Garden. Therefore, there are many soldiers and slaves patrolling around here, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach in ordinary times.

Yang Li and his entourage came here, although they were also interrogated along the way, but they were not stopped. This is because in the old years, in order to travel the southern regions conveniently, his father donated Su Jixun to obtain a military protection officer, although it is actually not very useful, but the car dealership still has some effect on dealing with the inventory.

Quchifang is not different from the other squares in the city, there are no horizontal and vertical square streets in the square area, and most of them are gardens built along the Piling River Pond. At the turn of spring and summer, the flowers and trees in the workshop are flourishing, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Yang Li's car traveled so far, and before she had gone far, someone on the road stepped forward and stretched out her arms to block it, and shouted to the driver, "Dare to ask your lord what his family is?" Is the host available in the car? A person entrusted by a nobleman in Duyi to visit here to buy a garden business, if the owner has the intention of pawning and selling, can he stop and give a short sentence? ”

Before Yang Li in the car could respond, several other people on the side had already rushed up, all of whom were also wandering among the previous brokers, looking for a garden business, and they had already clashed with each other, and the taste of competition was very strong.

Seeing this scene, Yang Li no longer had the courage to say, "Quit, these people are really as agile as jackals." ”

When she entered this workshop, she also wanted to choose to buy some garden business, but it was already full of buyers. Regardless of the price, the key is that she knows that she has limited connections in Xijing City, and she is afraid that the real good location is difficult to buy with money.

When the disputed buyers saw the group withdrawing, many people chased after them with a reluctant face, and shouted, "The master is still going to compare the price and sell it?" It's not an alarmist threat, it's better to let go as soon as possible, and getting started with money is the plan! Can you see Chixi Dou's garden? It has changed hands this morning, and the Dou family is one of the two countries, from Xijing to Guimenting, but still can't protect their own homeland, and they are bought by the left-behind government officials......"

As the carriage drifted away, Yang Li vaguely heard the shouting of the person behind her, her face suddenly changed, and she slapped her forehead and sighed, "It's a loss, it's a loss!" That Dou family is really disgusting, and they had to cheat me about the generous gifts just now! ”
