Chapter 760 - Not Bad
The owner of Shuangyang Shop was stunned when he heard that he wanted a lot of things, and he was also uneasy in his heart, knowing that Lin'an had just changed hands, and business was not easy to do. Although Wang Shi did not harass them when he entered Beijing, many shops opened by Mongols and Semu people have been confiscated, and rumors have begun to circulate that the next step will be to arrest people related to the Mongols, but how can they not deal with them when they do business in Beijing, so now it is just a day of chaos.
In addition, there are not many things prepared in the store, which is barely enough for these soldiers to eat, if they finish eating and wipe their mouths and leave, they don't want money is equivalent to a big loss; But asking for money, these soldiers smashed their shop on a whim, and lost even more. After a moment of hesitation, he didn't know whether he should take this business or not, and seeing that these soldiers were all fierce and abnormal, and the little general was young, and if he was in a hurry, he would have nothing to do with the enemy's hat.
"Shopkeeper, are you worried that we don't have any money?" Zhao Hao looked at his desire to speak and stopped, and asked with a smile.
"The general is not, the little one is just worried that he can't eat a lot, but it costs money." The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand and squeezed out a little smile.
"Is that something you're worried about? Send it up quickly, otherwise it will ......" Wang De not only said angrily when he heard that it was prevarication.
"Shut up, go back and get punished!" Zhao Yu turned around, stood up again, and said to the shopkeeper, "There is no way under the lower bundle, don't blame it." ”
"The little ones don't dare, they don't dare!" The shopkeeper hurriedly returned the salute.
"Shopkeeper, you see that our soldiers are all strong men, and we naturally eat more than ordinary people." Zhao Yu pointed to the military roads in the hall.
"Yes, yes, little clumsy!" The shopkeeper is naturally sober, how dare he talk nonsense, and he can't help but apologize, "There are mutton steamed buns, mille-feuille cakes, Hu cakes in the small shop, and there are also meat noodles to satisfy hunger!" ”
"Okay, then add another pound of mille-feuille cakes per person and a big bowl of meat noodles. In addition, prepare ten catties of soft mutton and ten catties of flatbread, and count them together! Zhao Yu said.
"Okay, okay, go get ready!" The shopkeeper wiped his sweat, and secretly said in his heart that these people were really hungry ghosts and reincarnated, and they could eat so many things, but they still hurriedly ordered Xiao Er to prepare.
"Shopkeeper, do you collect Zhongtong banknotes, salt stamps, or gold and silver in this store!" So many people are urging the preparation of the meal, and at the same time ordering tea, of course they have to serve this table in person, Zhao Yu took a sip of tea and asked.
"General, this Tartar has been driven to Jiangbei, and the Zhongtong banknotes have become waste paper, and no one dares to collect them anymore." The shopkeeper's heart tightened, there were all Song soldiers in this shop, and he dared to accept the Zhongtong banknotes and make it difficult to cooperate with the enemy, but in fact, it was also the case, "The general's mutton is 200 wen per catty, 150 wen per dish, and 20 wen per catty of flatbread, even if the noodles are sent by the small shop." ”
"This table is 1,800 wen, a total of thirteen tables, a total of 23,040 wen, plus the 2,200 wen taken away, a total of 25 and 600 wen." The shopkeeper counted with his fingers and said, "If the general pays the bill in silver, it will cost eighteen taels, and if it is a salt ticket of twenty thousand wen, it will be fine." ”
"Pay the bill for the store first, so as not to make them feel uneasy!" Zhao Yu twisted his face and said to Wang De.
"The little ones came out in a hurry, and they didn't bring a lot!" Wang De said embarrassedly.
"This ...... The small shop is a small business, and I really can't afford it! The shopkeeper's face changed when he heard this, and he said with a bitter face.
"Let's belong to it!" Seeing this, Zheng Huchen took out a stack of salt tickets from his sleeve, counted out a few and handed them to the store.
"Yo, guest officer, this is a red ticket, sixteen times is enough!" The shopkeeper took the surprise and hurriedly returned a few more tickets.
"Hehe, don't the store suffer?" Of course, Zhao Yu knew the difference in the value of the salt ticket, and there was a subsidy for this red ticket, but he didn't expect it to be higher than the value of silver, and asked with a smile.
"General, don't lose, don't lose, this red ticket is the most secure, maybe the small one will be earned in a few days!" The shopkeeper got the money and smiled and blossomed, and continued the tea ceremony for everyone.
"Shopkeeper, this Lin'an also uses salt tickets?" Zhao Yu asked Zheng Huchen, Zhou Mi, Wang De and the two guards to take their seats, and asked the shopkeeper again.
"Don't hide it from the general, this Zhongtong banknote has long been useless, and it can't be exchanged for gold and silver, and it is only used to pay taxes. And the salt ticket is not only used for trading in Lin'an privately, but also in the entire Jiangdong. "The store got the money for the meal, and they were relieved and answered all questions.
"Yes, it seems that our salaries will not be spent!" Zhao Yu looked at Zheng Huchen and smiled, the salt ticket can pass through the south of the Yangtze River, and its contribution is indispensable!
"If the general has a salt ticket, even if he comes to the small shop to use it, the small one will definitely take care of you." The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Aren't you afraid that salt stamps and Zhongtong banknotes will be smashed in your hands?" Zhao Hao teased.
"The general may not know that this salt ticket can be exchanged for salt, and Qiongzhou salt is the most sought-after, and the price and supply are also the most stable, so you don't have to worry about spending it." The shopkeeper didn't hear Zhao Hao's joke, and explained diligently.
"That's the best, have you ever been harassed by officials and soldiers when you set up shop here?" Zhao Hao asked with a sip of tea.
"No, no, after Wang Shi entered Beijing, only officials came to inspect and register, and there was no harassment, and the soldiers were very well-behaved and never trespassed!" The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Now I'm just worried about being accused of collaborating with the enemy, this Lin'an is occupied by the Tartars, how can we avoid opening the door to do business." ”
"I heard that the imperial court will only investigate and deal with the officials who defected to the enemy and those evil businessmen who rely on the Tartar power to prey on the common people, and will not affect you merchants, even if there are some minor mistakes, they will not be investigated, as long as they do not violate the law in the future, they can do business with peace of mind." Zhao Hao smiled.
"If the general's words are there, the little ones will rest assured!" The shopkeeper said happily.
It's easy to talk if you have money, and the food will be delivered like a horse after a short time, but the store only hears the shouts of the little two and the chewing sound of eating, and there is no other noise. And Zhou Mi looked at it but his scalp was numb, only to see the soldiers spread out a cake wrapped in meat and bite, three bites and two mouthfuls of a cake into the stomach, to his surprise that the little emperor was the same, and he did not need Wang De's service, he devoured meat and noodles, and did not speak Sven at all. He has not finished eating one piece of bread, he has already eaten two of them, and the others at the table are not humble, they just eat their own.
"Mr. Zhou, eat quickly, otherwise you will have a stomach!" Wang De looked at Zhou Mi in a daze and whispered.
"I can't eat anymore, is it the same for Your Majesty's meal?" Zhou Mi frowned and smiled bitterly.
"Sir's meal is too small, Your Majesty often walks in the army, if you catch up with the urgency of the war, the meals are all empty, and you often don't know when the next meal will be eaten, so be fast." Wang Dezui didn't like it either, "Oh, by the way, Your Majesty is the most annoying person who doesn't cherish food, that bowl of noodles must be eaten clean." ”
"This ...... How to eat this! Zhou Mi frowned and muttered as he looked at a large bowl of mutton noodles.
"Have you eaten enough? Not enough can be added! There were few people at the Zhao Yu table, but they had also eaten a lot, and the other tables had already been eaten cleanly, he asked loudly.
"Add two more pounds of bread, one pound of meat!"
"Add another pound of meat, two bowls of noodles!" ……
"Trouble the store to add it to them, and count the money together." Almost every table asked for extra rice, Zhao Yu said to the store.
"Yes, General!" The shopkeeper looked at the group of people and shook his head, secretly sighing that he could eat too much, but there was a precedent, and he was not afraid to hurry up without giving money.
"What else can they eat?" Zhou Mi said in surprise.
"Sir, since the day you formed the army, Your Majesty has made a rule, if you don't have enough to eat, you can add it, and if you waste it, you will be punished." Fa Zheng pouted and smiled, rolled all the remaining meat on the table into the cake and said, "I saw that one, that is the first branch of the Xingchao Jinshi, it turns out that he is also a Sven, but after joining the army, he eats more than anyone else." ”
"Oh......" Zhou Mi listened and gritted his teeth, picked up a few noodles and put them in his mouth, chewed them twice, and swallowed them.
A quarter of an hour after the meal was served, all the tables had been drained, even the little emperor was no exception, and the whole team went out after settling the meal money, but Zhou Mi saw that the little emperor was still telling Wang De to return the money when he went back. He burped, and couldn't help but sigh that there is a gentleman like this, with this tiger and wolf soldier, why not restore the Central Plains and return to the old capital......
When Zhao Yu and others returned to Deshou Palace, Chen Dun had already returned, and Lin'an Mansion had already sent judges to open and unlock the door. As soon as he entered the door, he frowned, and saw the plaque of the Zongyang Palace hanging on the head of the door, and after walking a few steps, he saw that the plaque of the Enlightened Gate was also hung on the middle door. Passing through the middle gate is the main hall, the hall of the book is not extremely wonderful, the guards in front have opened the door to test, but the inside is dedicated to the Taoist Sanqing, and here used to be the place where Zhao Gou received the ministers and drank the feast.
The original Shunfu Hall is dedicated to the Emperor Yuanming, after the Sanqing Palace, there is a door to the north, the plaque says the door of the true response, and there is the palace of Yurui to worship the Emperor of Sensheng, and then it is the Shenyou Hall to worship the Yuan Ming, and the Tongzhi Hall is dedicated to the Holy Blessing. In addition, there are the building of jade, the palace of warp and weft, and the hall of longevity on the left side of the middle gate; On the right, there are Luan Jian's Building, Qiongzhang Treasure Book, Beichen Palace, and so on.
"What a loser!" The more Zhao Yu looked at it, the more angry he became, except for the immortals enshrined here, he still knew about the immortals enshrined here, and every one of the rest was known, which needed to be given by the Journey to the West in the previous life. Now the mess of the palace is all done by his mentally handicapped father, and the gods inside have not been able to make him smarter. However, this can be regarded as a crooked fight, if this place is not changed to a Taoist temple, I am afraid that this palace will not be able to be saved, and it will also be destroyed or changed into a temple by the Yuan army.
"Your Majesty, although some buildings have been added to the old palace after it was changed to a Taoist temple, the overall pattern has not changed, and it can be restored to its original state as long as it is reorganized. The Houyuan was occupied by the Yuan Dynasty Caoyun Yamen, and it was basically well preserved, as long as the road that was opened at the beginning was re-closed. Zhou Mi saw that the little emperor turned around, his face was gloomy, and his brows had not been opened, knowing that he was not satisfied in his heart, he explained.
"Official, what Mr. Zhou said is right, although this place has been changed to a Taoist temple, it is still a blessed land, and a royal residence has been built around it, and I want to be blessed!" Wang De also hurriedly spoke.
Zhao Yu listened to the words of the two and continued to walk back, from the careful mouth he knew that the overall volume of Deokshou Palace was not smaller than that of Nangong, with more than ten halls, more than 200 houses, and warehouses. It still adopts the traditional pattern of facing the front and sleeping in the back, and has a back garden, which has been changed to a Taoist temple is mainly a palace area.
After entering the back garden, Zhao Yu felt that his eyes lit up, although it was closed for a long time, it was difficult to change the meaning of freshness and elegance, but with his temperament, he felt that his ancestors really dared to make it! From his point of view, it took a lot of effort for the designer to build such a building and landscape in such a limited place and make people feel harmonious.
Houyuan takes the dragon pond as the center, its width has more than ten acres, from the West Lake drinking water into the pool, it is said that Emperor Gaozong loved the West Lake very much, in order to prevent frequent travel to disturb the people, then built the 'small West Lake' in this palace, according to the West Lake landscape imitation. The whole back garden is divided into four scenic spots by the lake area, the east area appreciates the famous flowers, the vegetation is more and the terrain changes are rich, the west area enjoys the landscape landscape, the south area is dominated by entertainment and sports banquet places, and the north area is the pavilion and pavilion standing in the verdant.
However, due to the limited area, the building density in the garden is high and the volume is not large, and the combination of buildings such as Feilai Peak, corridor, staircase, platform, and hall built in combination with the topography and topography does not make people feel cramped. At the same time, plants and flowers are widely planted around the building, or in the form of solitary plants or opposite plants, or small clusters of plants, or with soil and stones, to form a multi-functional and open space, and the vacant places are also paved with lawns similar to modern times, or simply empty, forming different paths, which can be walked at will, so that people can obtain some free space in this place of strict rules and solemnity.
Due to the plant resources, climatic conditions and cultivation and maintenance technology in the south of the Yangtze River, the plant varieties in the palace are rich and diverse, including moss and plum with very thick moss and moss like green silk, and lotus flowers with five flowers on the same pole, which also show obvious changes in the four seasons and seasonal transitions. Among them, the eastern part is dominated by hibiscus flowering in autumn, and chrysanthemums and osmanthus are used as transitional flowers; In the west, spring flowering plants such as apricots, peonies, and begonias are dominant; In the south, it is dominated by summer-flowering plants, while in the north, winter-flowering plants are the main ones.
But Zhao Hao's favorite is the same as Zhao Gou's favorite is this altar of lake water, not only the lake is surrounded by corridors and pavilions, but also the bridge spans the top, and there are four halls in the middle. It is said that this is the place where Gaozong once again drank and listened to the silk and bamboo, and watched the dance, but he felt that this place was a place for fishing and reading, and it was clean and comfortable, and it was the most suitable for himself to be in a daze.
After seeing this back garden, Zhao Yu inevitably fell in love with this place, even if the front hall didn't have to be cleaned up and vacated, the houses here were enough to house the inner palace, enough to toss by himself. And the Queen Mother can also live here after returning to the north, of course, the cost performance is also the highest, the cost of repairing the North Palace is much lower than rebuilding the South Palace, and it will not take much time to move in. And it is not far from the six departments and various yamen, and the surrounding mansions can also house the important ministers and subordinates of the court, so that everyone is also convenient......
