In fact, the shops sent by several other county lords are also not far from the shops sent by Xiang Yixin.

Their families are all in the same group.

It is impossible to divide too much in the same place.

These houses are much more equipped.

Stuff was very clean too.

It can be seen that it has been specially vacated recently.

This is also a high-end business district in the capital, and it is impossible to stay empty for a long time without renting.

The house is pretty much the same style in layout.

It's all a three-way layout.

In the front is a shop, and in the back is a place to stay.

However, Cao Yan has not planned much for what these three shops will be used for the time being.

It can only be used first, and then Lin Yueru, who came over, should be used as a place to stay.

"Auntie, how are you going to decorate these houses and buy something?" Lin Dahei, who was beside him, asked.

"Let's get the bed and stuff in the air first." Cao Yan thought for a moment and replied.

What else to eat, there are many hotels in this neighborhood, as long as there is a place to sleep.

"Or do you want to make bunk beds like in the stockade?"

In Jiangning Mansion, because many of them are children, they are all put in one room, and in order to save space, Cao Yan asked them to make bunk beds.

"I guess it's too late, let's be simple, put the bed up, and take your time for the rest."

"Okay! Auntie, we'll go to the market to buy wood. ”

"I'll go with you." Cao Yan also wants to go and see, what are the things sold in the market here, and what is the price?

……

……

In fact, in the city of Bianliang in Dachu, the planning of the market and buildings has become a bit messy compared to the neatness and uniformity of everything in the previous dynasty.

Not only is the city wall not very upright, a little crooked, but the streets are no longer blindly straight, and the oblique streets and alleys can be seen.

The Bianhe River runs diagonally through the city outline, and with the convenient transportation, goods and people gathered along the river, the area along the river has slowly evolved into one of the most prosperous streets in Bianliang City.

All the street markets look crowded, noisy, noisy, yet full of life.

Outside the city walls, a lively town is also spontaneously formed, which is connected with the city, and the so-called "ring city of the twelve cities, is in full swing".

Such an urban pattern is not so much the result of the "planning" of the administrative power as the "growth" of civil society.

Chang'an in the previous dynasty retained the ancient "fang market system", that is, residential areas were separated from commercial areas, and were separated by fang walls. It is not allowed to set up stalls and shops on the streets, and if you want to do business, you can only go to the east and west cities; And implement a strict system of opening and closing the city, "where the city, with 300 drums in the middle of the day and the crowd will meet." Seven minutes before the sunrise, three hundred cymbals were struck and the crowd dispersed", and the city gate was closed after the market was dispersed;

And in Bianliang of Dachu, the fang wall has been knocked down at some point, the fang market system has collapsed, people set up a market along the river, open shops on the street, and there are prosperous and chaotic commercial streets everywhere.

The government and the people are mixed, the businessmen and the people are mixed, and the "night ban" has also been broken, "the night market will not be reopened until the third watch." If you want to go anywhere, you know it endlessly". A more commercial and civic urban lifestyle is emerging.

There are pros and cons to this.

That is the occupation of the road, which is very serious.

After all, the summer morning is the busiest time of the day, and the afternoon is too hot for people to go shopping under the scorching sun, but like to find a shady riverside to enjoy the shade.

After walking for a while, everyone was forced to get out of the carriage, and the road was blocked.

This reminded Cao Yan of the sadness of getting a carriage when he went out to block the road and rob in the past.

"Auntie, this carriage really can't pass, what should I do?" Lin Dazhuang's voice sounded beside him.

"Send the carriage back, and let the store deliver it directly after you buy it." Cao Yan replied as he jumped out of the carriage, "I'll walk around, you guys can go by yourself." ”

Seeing that the destination had arrived, Cao Yan separated from them.

……

Cao Yan put his hands back behind him,

He didn't ask Ruyi to help him carry his sword, after all, they were also going out to play, and it was inconvenient to carry their own swords.

Cao Yan held the sword in his left hand, and gently tapped the beat on the sword body with his right hand.

Humming a song in his mouth.

The name of the song is My General.

Wander through the streets and alleys of the market.

There are all kinds of people around me.

Coming to the ears is all kinds of cries, and they are endless.

A prosperous scene.

At this time, the prototype of the city's small satellite commercial city had emerged.

After all, at the beginning of the establishment of the kingdom, after the wars of the previous dynasty, the population will be reduced to a very low value.

For example, in the Han Dynasty, it was from more than 65 million at the peak to 15 million at the end of the period.

As a result, cities built at the beginning of the dynasty were far from sufficient by the middle of the dynasty when their populations exploded.

Therefore, for the increasingly crowded old city, its new people will take the initiative to develop the business area to the periphery of the city, and the town market and grass market also appeared at this time.

Some towns and grass markets with better management may even gradually develop into independent small commercial cities.

In the south, due to the superior geographical location and the absence of war, the development of urban commerce is much more favorable than that of the north under the same conditions.

Now due to the development of commerce, there are nearly 2,000 towns and cities in the country, which are basically all over the south, and these emerging commercial towns and cities are not only used for economic purposes, most of them are political and economic double meaning, many citizens for the convenience of transactions, they moved their families to the city's commercial market, and commercial cities with modern rudiments have appeared.

Following the flow of people, Cao Yan walked aimlessly.

Unconsciously, I came, the location painted by the Qingming Shanghe map in the later generations, and the location of the Hongqiao outside the Yangzhou Gate.

This is the main waterway that connects to the Grand Canal, so it's also the busiest place in the morning.

Many of the goods transported through the canal entered the capital from here.

In order to get the best goods first-hand, many merchants are accustomed to the teahouses on both sides of the canal, staring at the surface of the canal.

As soon as what he wanted, he immediately asked his family or shopkeeper to help stop the seller, and then the two negotiated the price in the teahouse.

Therefore, the business of this teahouse along the river is very good all day long.

This also caused many people in Jingshi to like to come to the side of the street and put a straw sign to sell when they want to sell something valuable.

Experienced people know how pitted pawnshops are, and if they are not in a hurry to ask for money, if they want to sell at a price, everyone is used to going to the market to sell their own money and find buyers.

On the streets on both sides of the river, there are now many people holding articles with straw markers, walking back and forth.

Some even shouted twice.

It also includes people with grass stickers on their heads.
