"Guanyin, look, this is my Tang Dynasty's Chang'an City!"

Li Er, with the eldest grandson, stood on the wall of Jingfeng Gate with great interest, watching from a distance, the children of the nobles who were competing on the railway, that is, under the compound road, as well as the people on both sides of the railway.

Here, it is considered an aristocratic street, and on both sides of the street live nobles, magnates and other things, but they don't live here, and some of them have changed their homes here.

And the race, what does it mean, that is to say, this railway, in fact, temporarily speaking, is idle, even if it is to transport things, it is not a lot, so, as long as the application is made, and then set up sentry posts at various intersections and at the gate of the market, so that there can be two people at the same time, or three people are engaged in a horse race, and every time there is a race, on both sides, there will be a lot of people watching.

In fact, this can be regarded as a way for some people to vent, something, into the big stadium, or outside the city.

The big stadium, no, let the horses run in it, and it will go straight in circles.

And outside the city, it is inevitable that there will be no unlucky horses, and there is farmland, which disaster, even if it is a hunting ground, in fact, when hunting, there are guards around.

In fact, Li Er was also influenced by Yang Qiao, that is, to make the people physically strong as a work of governing the country, as long as it is a competition that can improve physical fitness, it can be held through a simple application, and there are even guards.

Especially this horse race, Li Er is even more willing, this is the cradle of military generals, this galloping on a horse, and playing on a horse, it is naturally different.

"Second brother, do you want to go to the Vermilion Bird Gate to have a look?"

The eldest grandson asked Li Er very considerately.

"Or don't, at this time, Suzaku Street is the most chaotic time, they are preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve!"

Because this year, Chang'an City built two streets, one is Zhuque Street, the other is the street where they can only see the compound road from afar, that is, on this street, is also preparing some big dramas, the New Year, in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, this street, is really not so convenient, but now, with these two asphalt roads, or even this railway re-track, people feel much more convenient, even heavy snow, will not affect their celebration, at least, it is snowing here, it will soon be able to be cleaned up, but, If you want to clean up the muddy street, you can't do it.

"Guanyin, you say, in the coming year, do you want to pave the north and south streets in Chang'an City with this asphalt road?"

At this time, Li Er was a little inflated, this, who can do it, let the family pay taxes, he did it, this tax, but a lot, especially after the salt was changed to a franchise, this tax is even more, the so-called franchise, in fact, there is no formal way to explain, it is called a franchise.

In other words, Li Er adopted Yang Qiao's opinion on this salt, that is, it was not sold by the imperial court, but the imperial court set a maximum price for merchants to sell, but how could merchants buy this salt.

Buying salt is a common way to buy a braid pilgrimage.

In other words, this salt is sold once a year, and it is said to be for sale, but in fact, it means that the tax has been collected, and the tax is paid first, and then the goods are purchased.

That is to say, this piece of salt leads you to buy salt once or many times within a year, and then, and then go back to sell, naturally, the speed of this sale depends on the price of his salt, because it is limited to the maximum price, so if you sell it, you can't sell it, there will be a lot of sayings.

That is to say, if you can't sell it out this year, and if you don't have salt in the next year, you have salt at home, and you can only eat it yourself, or you can buy salt and sell it again.

In particular, the most important thing is that there is no restriction on who can buy it and who cannot buy it, that is to say, in this village, if you want to eat salt by yourself and don't want to go out to buy it, you can partner to pool money, and then buy a sufficient amount of salt, and then buy salt, and then divide it equally among each household, sell it, in short, this business mode is more flexible.

Thinking of this salt tax, Li Er couldn't help but think of a conversation with Yang Qiao.

"Boy, why did you make this salt?"

"Holy Lord, look at this battle of paper first!"

Yang Qiao heard that Li Er was going to change the sale of this salt, so he came to ask him to make salt and bring a piece of paper with him.

"This, the pattern on this, how did you get it, do you need to be so troublesome to make salt leads?"

"Saint, you don't know, this private salt may need long-distance transportation, but if someone imitates this salt, it is much stronger than selling smuggled salt, so this salt introduction must be specially made, and it cannot be imitated, and when it can be imitated, I estimate that this salt introduction should not be needed."

What does Yang Qiao do this salt lead, what does it look like, naturally, it is not the form of paper money in later generations, but a form similar to a steel seal, which is a special paper, and then through special pressing, that is, the pressing of the combination of press and mold, and then with special ink, the salt lead directly printed is 100 catties, 500 catties, 1,000 catties, and 2,000 catties.

There is also a salt introduction registration system, that is to say, the person who buys the salt introduction will be registered, such as, Zhang San, buy a salt citation, two thousand catties, Zhenguan five years June, Li Si, buy a salt citation, one hundred catties, Zhenguan five years of September.

Naturally, there are also records of their home addresses, sales methods, etc., which can greatly reduce some fraudulent procedures, but this fraud is still unavoidable, and in the end, it is still necessary to avoid large losses.

"Yes, you're thinking about it all, but this salt leads?"

"Shengshang, I think, this, it's better to put it in my place to make it, you know, my defense there, even, if you don't worry, you can add a layer of defense on the periphery, in fact, if the Holy God doesn't add it, I also want it, I'm there, at this time, it's becoming more and more important."

This, in fact, is also one of the most important years of the Yang family this year, that is, the place in the countryside, one, is the summer retreat of the whole family, and the other has become a test base, and this periphery has added a layer of defense set up by Li Er, that is to say, the people outside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out, that is, Yang Qiao's family, if you go back, although you can easily enter and exit, but there is a section of the road, which needs to be walked, that is, I am afraid that some will hide under the carriage or something.

In fact, at this time, Yang Qiao's family rarely goes back to the countryside, everyone has playmates in the city, naturally, they will not go back to the countryside, that place, good is good, but there are too few people who can play together, at this time, the only thing that can be remembered is the hot spring.

However, in the city, Yang Qiao's home, he also designed an artificial hot spring room, or a hot spring room with living water, this, very convenient, with cement, with coal, naturally, the design of this hot spring room, it is not a problem, that is, some are too coal-consuming.

"Let's go, go back, Guanyin, have a good rest, wait for the evening, and then come out to watch, maybe, tonight, is the most lively night since the completion of Chang'an City, or, in the future, this night every year, will be much more lively than this night this year, but, this is a leapfrog New Year!"

This leapfrog New Year, also Yang Qiao said, is leapfrogging, used to say different, different, but, can have this year is different, Yang Qiao found that on Suzaku Street, even, there are several stages, also set up, originally, this is the family stage of some noble families, but it was moved to the street, this is really with the people.

It was the band in Li Er's court, and a prince was also built, and he came outside, Li Er, but he really wanted to have a different New Year, that is, the leapfrog New Year that Yang Qiao said.

Even, the hundreds of firecrackers made by Yang Qiao were also contributed by him, and this year's New Year, Yang Qiao's house can put a few firecrackers, and the rest, even in Li Er's palace, are not there, all let Yang Qiao contribute to this Vermilion Bird Street, naturally, this is also a good advertisement.

In fact, Yang Qiao is also a little helpless, this, in his own home, he is going to establish a new workshop, that is, this firecracker workshop, this, he is not worried about being learned by the people of the Tang Dynasty, but is worried that he will be learned by people outside, then, he will become a sinner, you know, it is at this time, the firecracker medicine made by Yang Qiao has also reached the standard of weapons, although he wants to make this power stronger after the New Year, but at this time, these medicines, as long as the quantity is enough, are also powerful enough, blow up a city gate or something, no problem.
