Chapter 30 Ma Qian Street, Master Li
The first time Wang Xiao knew about Bianliang Kaifeng Mansion was through the TV series called Bao Qingtian.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Zhuang Gong built a granary city here, and named it "Kaifeng" with the meaning of opening and expanding the territory.
In the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, because Emperor Jing's name was Liu Qi, in order to avoid secrecy, Qi was renamed Kai.
After the end of the Tang Dynasty, this is the place where soldiers must fight, and the changing king flag on the city wall at two ends in three days. During the Five Dynasties period, the Later Liang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou were all built here.
After Zhao Kuangyin snatched the throne from orphans and widows, it became the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.
One hundred and sixty years later, Wang Xiao came to the most prosperous city in the world.
"This is Bianliang City." Look at the bustling crowd on the street, the rows of houses on both sides. Wang Xiao subconsciously compared it with the world he had been to.
Fuzhou City is not comparable, Yangzhou City is also much worse, and the lifeless capital of the Ming Dynasty is far inferior.
It's not just bustling, it's really vibrant. And not the kind of walking dead life just to survive.
Wang Xiao sighed: "It really deserves to be a civilized era that will be missed thousands of years later." β
"Dutou, this is Bianliang City." Ximenqing looked excited: "After finishing things, let's find a place to have fun." β
For Ximenqing, when he came to the most prosperous place in the world, his instinct drove him to drive impatiently. There's no way around it, he's the kind of person he is.
And Wang Xiao saw this prosperity and wealth, but what he thought in his heart was that a few years later, the northern barbarians would go south and destroy all the prosperity and civilization in front of him in the sea of blood.
"Are you trying to bully men and women here?" Wang Xiao looked at Ximenqing's eyes as if he was watching a shark wither.
Ximenqing grinned, "How is it possible, this is not Yanggu County." β
In Yanggu County, he Ximenqing can still be regarded as a character, but in Bianliang City, he is considered a yarn. In this place, I don't know which lady Yanai will meet on the way, unless he doesn't plan to go back alive.
Wang Xiao looked at him with a smile, "Then the Ximen official means to go to the three tiles and two houses to spend some time in the wind and snow?" β
Ximenqing nodded vigorously, "Little brother is treated, you must enjoy the light." β
Rubbing his chin, Wang Xiao asked softly, "Do you know which one is the most famous in this Bianliang City?" β
Ximenqing looked at him with a look of surprise from his peers, "Haven't asked for advice yet?" β
Wang Xiao laughed, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Maqian Street, Master Li." β
------
For Ximenqing, a person who loves to drive, the top beauty is the limited edition supercar that makes him want to stop.
A beauty of Master Li's level, as long as Ximen Qing sees it, he will definitely try his best to get it.
The soil buns from Yanggu County definitely don't know who Master Li was raised, and only Wang Xiao in this group of people knows that Master Li is a famous skill, but it is a famous skill that must not be touched.
As long as Ximen Qing dares to use means to provoke Master Li, then Wang Xiao dares to guarantee that he will never have a chance to return to Yanggu County alive.
It's the Xuanhe period, not Jingkang.
Wang Xiao took the soldiers to the Yamen to go through the handover procedures, and Ximen Qing was already impatient to find out the location of Maqian Street.
Arrange the van troops in the post station provided by the yamen, Wang Xiao Shi Shiran went to the previously agreed inn and waited for the news of Ximen Qing.
Wang Xiao, who was drinking honey water and enjoying afternoon tea, was looking forward to Ximenqing never coming back, and when he was looking for someone to inquire, he was told that he was arrested by the people of the Imperial City Division and his whereabouts were unknown. In this way, the matter of coming to Bianliang this time will basically be solved.
However, he regretted that Ximenqing came back with a gloomy face at dinner.
"This little girl's skin is quite energetic, and she didn't even let the door in."
Ximenqing came to Wang Xiao and sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.
Wang Xiao picked up the teapot with a smile, "It's normal, the more famous you are, the harder it is to see it." If you come from other places and visit your door, what kind of famous skill is that? β
Ximen Qingxiao lewdly: "It seems that Dutou is also a fellow believer." β
Wang Xiao's eyes were slightly cold, go to your uncle, who is the same person as you!
"Why don't you try another one? There should be more hidden doors in Bianliang City. Wang Xiao deliberately stimulated Ximenqing.
Ximenqing was really stabbed, and slapped the table directly, "Is it useful to find a cover, come to Bianliang City to find it?" Lao Tzu wants to see what this teacher is like! β
"Ambitious, worthy of being an old driver." Wang Xiao clapped his hands and applauded him, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you." β
The next morning, Wang Xiao went out to find a house shop, while Ximenqing went straight to Maqian Street.
Bianliang City is prosperous, and the wealth of Bianliang City is also the most in the world.
Here, a South China Sea walking bead can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, and the newly caught fish in the Bianhe River can also be sold for dozens of dollars in the hands of the fish lady.
The house is easy to say, although it is expensive, whether it is sold or rented, there is always something to talk about. But the shops are exaggerated, Wang Xiao inquired in Yaxing, and there were only three shops for sale in the entire city at this time.
In such a large Bianliang City, there are only three shops for sale, so the price can be imagined.
Not to mention the little bit of tiger reward money left in Wang Xiao's hand, even if he adds Ximenqing's entire net worth, he can't buy a shop, even if it's just the money in the backyard, it's not enough.
Selling steamed buns can be sold on the street, and there are no stalls along the street in Bianliang City that will drive them away. But the question is, where can you find a big man with a table to join the stock market without a shop?
Bianliang City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, where countless imperial relatives, dignitaries, forbidden army generals, and officials of all sizes in the court, their families, relatives and even servants gathered.
Those who sell steamed buns from Yanggu County, even if the business is not good, people will come to the door to ask for benefits. If the business is good, the hands stretched out from all directions can tear Wu Dalang into pieces.
Therefore, a strong enough backer is a necessity.
is like in film and television dramas and novels, there is no such thing as making a lot of money directly by selling good things, but there is no such thing in reality.
Wang Xiao, who had been busy all day but had no results, returned to the inn depressed.
Ximenqing, who had been waiting here for a long time, saw him and pounced directly, "Dutou, help me." β
Wang Xiao was secretly happy in his heart, could it be that this guy was targeted by the people of the Imperial City Division.
"I've stuffed the door with several red envelopes, but I can't even get in." Ximen Qing complained heartily, "I'm really out of tricks, how about Dutou go with me tomorrow?" β
Wang Xiao wanted to press Ximenqing into the water tank, but now the lid of the water tank has not been opened. Of course, this situation can't be done, so he immediately nodded, "No problem." β
The next morning, Wang Xiao and Ximenqing came all the way to Maqian Street, in front of Master Li's courtyard.
The environment here is nice, and the streets are lined with weeping willows. You can see the blooming pear blossoms through the courtyard wall, and it is indeed an elegant place.
"Yo~~~ The Ximen official is here again."
The gatekeeper obviously recognized Ximenqing, and he was already greeted warmly before he arrived.
Ximenqing took out a few taels of silver and was about to hand it over as a red envelope, but Wang Xiao grabbed his wrist.
Facing the puzzled Ximenqing, Wang Xiao smiled, "Do you want to see Master Li today?" β
If it was still dispensable before, then Ximenqing, who had been closed for two days in a row, was already really on fire at this moment." β
"Take a hundred Jiaozi out."
Wang Xiao's words made Ximen Qing dumbfounded, in order to see what Master Li had to pay for the entrance fee?!
Although Jiaozi has depreciated sharply, as long as it is not a four-year period, it is worth at least forty yuan. Such a huge sum of money that is enough for a family of three to spend a year is just an entrance fee in Wang Xiao's mouth. Ximenqing's heart suddenly had the feeling of being on a thief ship.
Wang Xiao waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up." β
Ximen Qing shuddered and took out a few handovers, but before he could count them, he was snatched away by Wang Xiao.
The gatekeeper's eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand to think about next, but Wang Xiaoyi grabbed his wrist.
"We can give you money, but we are not wronged. If you can't see the teacher today, I hope you still have the life to spend this money. β
Wang Xiao's momentum is strong enough, which brings a strong sense of oppression to Menzi. Let him believe that Wang Xiao is not just talking casually.
Menzi gritted his teeth and took the handover, looked at it carefully, and stuffed it into his sleeve, "Don't worry, two masters, everything is wrapped in the little one." β
Seeing Menzi running into the courtyard, Ximenqing felt that his heart was dripping blood. Such a large sum of money is enough to buy a beautiful little lady in the famine year, but in this Bianliang City, it is only the entrance fee. It's fucking infuriating!
Wang Xiao's face was indifferent, and he was not worried at all, because he believed in the use of money.
Of course, there is also the reason that it is not his money either.
After a lot of effort, Menzi ran back and bowed with a smile, "Two officials, please come in." β
The person who can be a protΓ©gΓ© must have his own way, although I don't know how he persuaded Master Li to agree to meet, but as long as there is a result, it will be fine.
Wang Xiao made a successful gesture towards Ximenqing, but Ximenqing was very sad. I will also use the money to smash this trick!
The yard is not large, and there is a pear tree with two people hugging each other. At this time, the pear blossoms are in full bloom, and the pear blossoms as white as snow hang all over the treetops.
When Wang Xiao passed by the pear tree, he raised his leg and kicked the pear tree, and the petals flying in the sky fell down with the morning dew, and the flowers were very beautiful.
Facing Ximenqing's incomprehensible gaze, Wang Xiao smiled, "Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom." Isn't this colorful thing very meaningful? β
"It really makes sense." A neutral voice came from behind Wang Xiao, "It's just that this is someone else's house, don't you think it's rude?" β
The person who came was about forty years old, with a handsome demeanor and a handsome face. In a nutshell, he is an old handsome guy.
Wang Xiao's heart moved slightly, this time, place, and bearing are still so stylish, it shouldn't be Zhao Ji's loser.
As soon as this idea arose, Wang Xiao vetoed it.
The reason is very simple, if it is really Zhao Ji who stays here overnight, then even if the door is crazy, it is impossible for the guards lurking around to allow Wang Xiao and them to come in.
"I'm sorry." Wang Xiao bowed his hand and saluted, "It's in Xia Menglang, dare to ask Your Excellency ......"
The handsome old guy was quite satisfied with Wang Xiao's attitude.
The Great Song Dynasty is an era of real face-seeking. is as handsome as Wang Xiao, and his aura will be looked down upon. If it were Wu Dalang to do this, it is estimated that the handsome old guy would have called someone to throw it out directly.
"Old man Li Bangyan."
