Heiankyo still practiced the neighborhood system of the Tang Dynasty, and the two markets, which were specially used as trading places, were opened in turn from noon to evening.

Heiankyo has a large population, about 100,000 people, but the proportion of freemen is very small, and it is a large group of nobles and servants who serve them.

And because there is no record of being threatened by aliens or rebels, Heiankyo, like the previous Narakyo, did not have a castle wall, but only a moat as the outline of the Heiankyo border, and the small flowing bridge of the moat often became a place for the nobles to enjoy the scenery and chant haiku.

Seven years ago, the Imperial Palace was set on fire by wandering samurai who came to rob him, and bandits were not uncommon in Heiankyo.

In fact, if there was no Qi attack that would have changed its history, the burning of the Heiankyo Imperial Palace would have occurred on average once every six years in the next 200 years, and it was common for bankrupt peasants and armed ronins to infiltrate Heiankyo to loot, and many times, such as the destruction of the door by bandits, would have been rumored to be a supernatural event, causing panic everywhere, and thus, in the Heian period, the profession of onmyoji became popular.

In front of Lu Ning, there is now a Dongying official from Yinyangliao, that is, the prototype of the image of the Onmyoji in later generations.

In fact, Yinyangliao was originally similar to the Qin Tianjian in the Central Plains, observing celestial phenomena and promulgating the calendar, but now, it has taken on the heavy responsibility of telling ghost stories to the people of Heianjing, mainly to make up things like the official fabrication of resentful spirits being sealed to eliminate the panic of the people.

This is a manor-like building on the street of Heiankyo Suzaku Street, but outside, the tea banner of the East China Sea is hung, and there is a large Chinese character "Tea House".

This was also the first shop that Qi merchants were able to enter Heiankyo.

At the same time as the opening of this shop, the left minister Fujiwara Minoru relied on the identity of Guan Bai to issue the "Imperial Textbook", officially dismantling the Dongyingfang City system, "Imperial Textbook" probably means that the current land of Middle-earth, has abandoned the relatively backward Fang City system of the previous dynasty, why does Japan still hold on to this incomplete system and not change it?

But in fact, Fujiwara Minori is just a pretext to play, and the meaning of a drunkard is not in wine.

For him, it didn't matter what the content of the "Imperial Decree" was, but what was important was that if the "Imperial Instruction" he issued was executed, it would mean that Sekihaku's "Lower Text" and the Emperor's edict would have the same authoritative status.

Generally speaking, only when the emperor is young, the regent can issue such "imperial books", and when the emperor reaches adulthood, the regent becomes Sekihaku and has to hand over power to the emperor.

The content of the "Imperial Teaching Book" he issued is also very ingenious, it is likely that the trading house of the imperial family of Daqi opened a tea room on the street in Kyoto, and the content of the "Imperial Teaching Book" is to give the green light to the agents of the Qi royal family, if they are fiercely opposed, those people will not be able to get along with the royal family of Qi State.

At this time, the political enemies represented by Yuan Gaoming also wanted to use the strength of the Qi people to compete with him, and most of them had the support of the Qi people in the Mutsu Governor's Palace.

It was Kamiluo's daughter-in-law Fukata, who seemed to be Gen Gaoming and others, who completely destroyed his strategy of sending his son to run Owari, and used his daughter-in-law's ambition to win him over, and because he didn't know how, Fukada even got the same support as the support of the Qi people and the Kanto Imperial Leader Toyoda Nakashi.

Fujiwara Minori immediately launched a counterattack and won over the East China Sea Baixing to endorse him.

It seems that Donghai Baixing is just a private merchant group in Daqi, but there are rumors that in fact, it is one of the huge industries run by the royal family.

Therefore, its influence should be enough to compete with the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Mutsu.

It's just that Fujiwara Minori's intentions, except for those ministers at the top of Kyoto, are afraid that most of the confused nobles don't know what is going on, and even many people have heard about the Qi people not long ago, and I heard that the Central Plains Tang Dynasty has changed its dynasty to become the Great Qi.

And Li Jingyu, the treasurer of Donghai Baixing, who is in charge of trade with Dongying's core area, and Jinsen Xing, who is in charge of eastern trade, do have different goals.

Li Jingyu would not pay attention to the others, and Fujiwara Minori took the initiative to provide a manor in the aristocratic district as a shop, so that Tokai Baixing could enter Kyoto, and of course Li Jingyu would not refuse.

In the past, the king of Baoning, the great emperor of Qi was a friend when he was a courtier of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Yu's little uncle.

After handling the case of the Ge family in Jiangnan for the Emperor of Qi, he wrote to ask for his resignation, saying that he only wanted to return to his hometown to farm.

Lu Ning personally repaired the book and asked him if he wanted to go overseas to see the countries in the world?

It was also mentioned that in the past, he had promised him to go to the Khitan tent in Shangjing to drink, although now he went to Beijing and Liaobei, and was still in the hands of the Yelubei tribe, but the east, middle and Nanjing of the Khitan have all changed banners, and they have returned to my Han Court, and the grand wish of my brother is just around the corner.

It is said that when Li Jingyu saw this handwritten letter from the emperor, he burst into tears with excitement.

As a result, Li Jingqi joined the East China Sea Baixing and became one of the overseas shopkeepers.

Although the power core composed of the thirteen big treasurers of the East China Sea Baixing has been expanded to twenty-one people, it is obviously not something that Li Jingxiao can enter as soon as he joins.

Under 21 people, there are hundreds of shopkeepers from all walks of life, and they are also the backbone of Donghai Baixing's operation.

Li Jingyu is one of them.

As for the small shopkeepers who are in charge of a particular regional shop, or a certain place of trade, there are countless of them.

As for the operators and shopkeepers who are specific to a single store, they are not even the nodes in the power structure of the East China Sea, but the most basic executors.

The land industry of the imperial family, such as Huangzhuang and mining, belongs to a parallel line with the Baixing of the East China Sea, and cooperates with each other, but they are all directly managed by the internal government.

Occasionally, there are crossovers, such as overseas mines, such as the Goryeo Copper Mine, nominally, it is Donghai Baixing who obtains its mining rights, but the actual management is still Huangzhuang and the mining management system, and it is not handed over to Donghai Baixing to take care of.

Another example is Donghai City, where all the land belongs to the Huangzhuang Line, and the shops are managed by Donghai Baixing, and they also have to pay rent, which is not bad at the market price.

In short, Lu Ning has a headache when he thinks about these things, the industry is too big, and in order to effectively supervise, various management lines will inevitably be staggered.

Fortunately, now I only look at the overall situation, and the specific affairs have been greatly dissolved.

The battle behind this tea room, Lu Ningdong watched the fire, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Speaking of which, starting from the best interests of Daqi, powerful people who didn't want to let the hands of Kyoto appear in the first place, whether it was the mentally ill Emperor Ryozumi, or Fujiwara Minori, or Minamoto Takaaki, they could coexist in some way to be in the interests of Daqi, even if Gen Takaming was originally an anti-Qi faction.

However, this teahouse is bound to make a lot of money from the booming business, and even a year's profit can be worth all the trade income in other Dongying areas.

The tea ceremony is obviously very suitable for the lifestyle of today's Kyoto aristocracy, and this tea house was originally a powerful manor, and the tea rooms are particularly quiet and quiet, coupled with the brand and word-of-mouth strategy that was packaged as "the highest grade tribute tea imported from Daqi" in later generations, it will make the nobles and nobles of Kyoto flock to it, and treat the tea they originally drank as garbage, even if it is just a psychological feeling.

And the ministers of Kyoto, so to speak, gathered the wealth of the world and traded with them with luxury goods that did not cost much, not to mention the profits.

Especially tea, one transportation can transport a lot of people.

Yes, Lu Ning was excited to lead the two little girls of Jizi and Zizi to see his cash cow, but the leader of the Jiahe crowd, Koga Taiichiro, wanted to follow to join in the fun, obviously this old man with white hair wanted to have a good relationship with Lu Ning, the head of the Falcon Tuantuan, and the guy who was an authentic Qi person in the Central Plains.

It's just that I didn't expect that maybe because Koga is less than 100 miles away from Kyoto, Koga Taiichiro is obviously ambitious, and he will inevitably come to the capital occasionally to try his luck and want to "sell martial arts to the emperor's family", yes, I bumped into an acquaintance here.

The onmyoji Fujiwara Mitsuo of Yinyangliao, this guy has a small official position, from the seventh grade, but he is obviously very famous, and his ancestors have also been prominent, and he is known for his extensive travel, and he is also the most important person Koga Taiichiro has ever met, after all, it is impossible for him to get to know the real big man.

However, Fujiwara Mitsuo can enter this East China Sea Tea House, which itself proves that his economic strength is not quite in line with his official rank, after all, those who can come here to taste tea are all ministers and palaces, that is, those who are above the five grades of the official position.

There are a total of thirteen teahouses, of course, this also ensures that this manor teahouse is as comfortable as in their own homes, and even more comfortable than their own homes.

Even, the tea house has Qi people tea lady, with slender snow-white jade hands to brew tea tea, this kind of service, it is even more heart-to-heart has a huge sense of satisfaction, after all, faintly, from the bottom of the heart, Qi people are higher than the locals.

In fact, these tea ladies are Qi people, but most of them are from poor tribes and local people, and after strict training, many times overseas, they can make the powerful lose their bottoms and show their wealth in front of them.

This is not the first overseas tea house, in Goryeo and Champong, there are tea houses in the East China Sea, which is simply a weapon to loot the wealth of local elites.

At the same time, it is also a good place for intelligence gathering.

Tea lady is absolutely clean, if you do something that violates the rules of the tea room, they all know the cruel consequences to face, in South Goryeo, not long ago there was an elopement between the tea lady and the prince, the result was both arrested, the tea lady was executed, and the prince of South Korea was demoted to a commoner.

Lu Ning also heard about this kind of thing, after all, it was not a big deal, and it was impossible to appear on the note that was reported to him.

In terms of practical later generations, the two seem to be truly in love, the prince of Goryeo is unmarried, and the tea lady is unmarried.

In later generations, if this incident is recorded, it may be a very poignant love story.

Lu Ning felt that if he was there, he would be able to fulfill them, but since he didn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't interfere in these things.

Can't you make an edict yourself, and ask the operators of the tea houses to keep their eyes open to distinguish the motives of the tea girls?

And now indoors, there is a tea lady, the service price is still very expensive, half an hour, only need the additional cost of the tea lady to make tea, it will cost five yuan, big Qi Tong treasure banknotes, and silver dollars can be.

Speaking of which, the ministers of Kyoto are indeed rich, not only do they not blink an eye at a little money, but they usually pay a hard-earned salary, which in later generations is a tip.

In fact, no matter how much tip the tea lady receives, her own income will not increase, which also prevents individual tea girls from scratching their heads and destroying the overall image of the tea lady as a high-minded and icy jade for the sake of tips.

After all, the more it looks like an iceberg, the more it will be fanatically pursued by the ministers.

The tea ladies all sign a three-year contract, and after three years, they can receive a large sum of money and return to their hometown to enjoy happiness.

Moreover, these tea ladies are naturally delicate in appearance and dignified.

The incomparably intricate updos, wearing the orthodox skirts of the Central Plains, and the skirts cut by the finest silk and satin embroidered are gorgeous and extraordinary, adding a bit of nobility to them.

The tea lady in Lu Ning's tea room, named "Green Pearl", needless to say, is also a pseudonym, her skirt, the main tone is blue and green, and she is very bright.

Looking at her serving a few Dongying people, the kind of arrogance that is faintly revealed, you are all inferior.

For a moment, rubbing the Dongying clothes and ornaments he wore when he was a native of the country, Lu Ning smiled bitterly, as if he was proud of being born as a Qi person because of this little girl.

Of course, the more this is the case, the more popular it is.

Lu Ning was chatting with the onmyoji in front of him, when he heard the voice of a Central Plains woman outside, "Luzhu, do you ask a few guests if they still add tea?" Senator Oe Shigemitsu, I've been waiting for you for a while. ”

It turned out that unconsciously, half an hour had passed, and the green beads also happened to lead the tea, boil the tea, and divide the tea A complicated process has been completed.

Without waiting for Lu Zhu to speak, Lu Ning smiled at her: "Go ahead, we don't care here." ”

Lu Ning entered the tea room, and for the first time he said the words of the Central Plains, Lu Zhu was stunned, looked at Lu Ning in surprise, and then gently bent his knees to confess and came out.

"Why did she leave? Not coming back? After a while, Onmyoji Fujiwara Mitsuo didn't see her come back, and seemed to react.

"I'm not without silver!" Fujiwara Mio snorted coldly, and took out a few large Qi silver dollars from his arms.

Lu Ning smiled: "When we talk about things, there are outsiders, but it is not beautiful." ”

Fujiwara Mitsuo looked at Jizi and Zizi, who were chatting secretly and boredly behind Lu Ning, and pouted, "The two of them, although they are more beautiful than Fang Cai Cha Niang when they grow up, they don't have that taste." However, they know the way of tea? ”

Jizi and Zizi, who were left behind by Lu Ning, were bored, listening to Fujiwara Mitsuo's words, they were immediately a little excited, and chirped: "Yes, I'm quite good at making tea!" "yes, we're better than her!"

Obviously, the two little girls are like a blank slate, and they can't hear the meaning of Fujiwara Mio's words, but they are happy to find a place to use, and they may be a little jealous of the tea lady, who is simple in nature, and brags.

Lu Ning was speechless, these two guys have been free for nearly a year, and their temperaments have changed, so they won't ruin them, right? The two aristocratic girls and the prince who were originally quiet can see the scenery for a day, but now there is a trend of a little eight women?

Fujiwara Sanxiong hadn't spoken yet, Lu Ning had already waved his hand, "They are quite capable, but just make tea, Brother Sanxiong, I mean, I have something to talk about with Uncle Taiichiro." ”

The tea room here needs to be booked, and Lu Ning also booked it a few days in advance, but it happened that Taiichiro saw Fujiwara Mitsuo, who came here but had no free tea room, so he invited him to join him.

It's just that Lu Ning feels that with the other party, the words are not speculative, and he can't hear any valuable information from his mouth, so he is too lazy to entangle with him.

Fujiwara Mio bowed his head, and he wanted to say something, but suddenly, his face changed, and he understood the meaning of Lu Ning's words.

Koga Taiichiro looked embarrassed, originally with good intentions, but he also felt that this Mr. Onmyoji really regarded himself as an outsider who could catch ghosts, and he was extremely arrogant, and he didn't feel it when he posed like this with himself before, but the same was true for "Ban-sama", which couldn't help but make people feel a little too much.

This Qi people's regimental leader, although he is only a mercenary, is a celebrity around Shentian Palace, and it is likely that he is also a military staff officer stationed by Qi people around Shentian Palace, but he has never been able to figure out what the relationship between him and Shentian Hall is.

Although, in the past, Fukada Hall was a local hero, no matter how powerful the place was, it was not worth mentioning in Kyoto, but now the situation is different, the heroes are rising, Kyoto's drunken and dreaming of death, these moths raised by the power of the whole country, but there is no spectrum in their hearts, which is really ridiculous and sad.

At this time, Fujiwara Mitsuo had already stood up with hatred, "Do you think I am rare in this position?" You invited me! He glared at Koga Taiichiro with hatred, turned around and pulled the door out.

"Ban-sama, please forgive me for my negligence, I shouldn't have invited him." Koga Taiichiro bowed slightly, although Fujiwara Mitsuo's eyes made him slightly cold, but at this moment, he could only choose to offend one.

Lu Ning smiled, "I also wanted to meet different people in Kyoto, but it was nothing to talk to him. ”

Koga Taiichiro nodded yes, thought about it, and lowered his voice and said: "Lord Ban, this Fujiwara Mitsuo, I know some of his details, he once colluded with the ronin to pretend to be a ghost, he came to expel him, in order to gain fame, I even suspect that some bandit cases, I don't know if he did the internal involvement, so that the rich family in Kyoto, the robber selection is so accurate, he spends a lot of money, and the origin of the money is also very suspicious." But don't worry, with me, he can't plan against Ban. ”

Lu Ning looked at him and smiled: "That's fine." ”

looked back at Jizi and Zizi, and said with a smile: "Come, the tea here is good, you two, also sit down and taste it, while it's hot." ”

The tea divided by green beads has not moved yet.

Jizi and Zizi immediately sat around happily.

Lu Ning glanced at Koga Taiichiro again, "Sanxiong, you don't have to pay attention to it." ”

Koga Taiichiro hurriedly bowed slightly and said yes, but he looked more and more like Lu Ning's subordinates.
