Thinking back to the era of Huangzhushan, Li Xuan was eager to go to the Qinhuai River to have a look and appreciate the cultural holy place that brought together the essence of China for thousands of years.

Among the many beliefs that supported Li Xuan to lead the army to fight and work tirelessly to personally conquer, there was the idea of going to the Qinhuai River to take a walk and take a look.

Qin Huaihe, this is an obsession of Li Xuan!

But as the emperor of the Tang Empire, Li Xuan, the son of heaven, has been busy with business since he moved the capital to Jinling City, and he doesn't have much time to go out, and he needs to do other things in his limited free time.

In addition, it is also necessary to make various arrangements for going out for inspections, regardless of whether it is a public inspection or a private visit by Weifu, Li Xuan will never joke about his own life, let alone political influence, so all kinds of preparations are quite troublesome.

Therefore, the matter of inspecting the Qinhuai River has been delayed.

But today, in the eighth year of Xuanping, Li Xuan finally squeezed out the time, and made preparations in advance, he was going to inspect the Qinhuai River.

And in order to ensure that you can see the most authentic and quintessential scenery of the Qinhuai River, Li Xuan chose a private visit to Weifu, and did not choose to inspect it openly, of course, even if it is a private visit to Weifu, but the necessary security measures will not be less.

On the surface, there are more than a dozen personal guards in plain clothes, and there are hundreds of people secretly protecting them.

Although Jinling City is now the base camp of the Tang Empire, the continuous rectification in the past few years has cleaned up many remnants of the former Ming Dynasty, and the unstable elements of public security have also been cleaned up one by one.

Its public security situation should be regarded as the best in the entire Tang Empire at present.

But even so, there is no guarantee that there will be some accidents, and these guards are actually to prevent accidents from happening.

After Li Xuan set off with a dozen entourages, he got into a carriage and marched along the streets and alleys, and there were more than a dozen entourages around, and they were also retinues carrying swords, so that others knew at a glance that the people in this carriage were either rich or expensive, and no one with a little knowledge would come up to find trouble.

So unfortunately, along the way, Li Xuan didn't encounter any opportunities to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and he didn't know if there were not enough fools in this world, so he didn't come over to trouble Li Xuan, which made Li Xuan quite disappointed.

Could it be that in this case, shouldn't there be a rich boy brother who came over very much, saying what my son is, and then let Li Xuan get out, and then the guards around him also didn't make a move in order to control the influence, and waited until the rich boy brother finished pretending, this is the identity of the frightened person, or what court official accidentally recognized Li Xuan and made a big reversal?

Li Xuan remembered that a lot of the things he had read before were written like this.

But I've walked so many streets through a private interview, why haven't I met this kind of villain?

What a disappointment!

Li Xuan, who thought so, didn't look at it, the dozen or so guards around him were all carrying swords, and they looked like they were not close, everyone knew that the owner of the carriage was not easy to mess with, and the villains also had brains, why should people who were obviously not easy to provoke be provoked, it hurt to be idle, and it was so cool for me to bully and bully the children of the poor family when I had this time.

Walking along the streets, Li Xuan also had the opportunity to really observe Jinling City, his capital!

In the past, Li Xuan's travel was all fanfare, and the streets along the way were basically not original, most of the time they were blocked in advance, and the streets were emptied, so that they could not see such a lively street at all.

Now, for the first time, he has seen the untouched bustling streets of our time.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and although most of the things sold in the shops are still traditional goods, there are also new-age goods, such as soaps, perfumes, etc., and a very small number of shops have glass windows in order to show their strength!

Although the Tang Dynasty has developed glass and can carry out large-scale industrial production, the price of glass products is still relatively high, and palm-sized mirrors are not cheap, let alone large glass windows.

But even if the price of glass is expensive, some powerful businessmen are still willing to use glass windows, if nothing else, just to show their strength, especially some luxury jewelry shops that specialize in high-end customers.

This is the royal glass window, and the glass window used in the palace is the same, just such a small window costs dozens of taels of silver, you see, how awesome our shop is!

However, Li Xuan sat in the carriage, although he saw the original ecology on the street, but after all, he didn't get out of the carriage to contact it personally, so he could only see a rough idea.

However, even so, it still made Li Xuan feel very curious!

No way, although it has been many years since he came to this time and space, Li Xuan really hasn't tried this thing of micro-service private interview, and he hasn't gone to the market to take a look in person.

Looking at more cold data, and looking at the data, it is not as intuitive as directly looking at the situation on the market, it is simple.

When Li Xuan looked at it, he was all with a curious look.

But even if he was curious, he wouldn't get out of the carriage, because this was not his destination, his destination was the Qinhuai River.

After a long time of crossing the bustling streets, and then all the way on, the carriage stopped.

After stopping, Li Xuan saw a river, which was not big, but there were many classical and elegant buildings on both sides of the river, and there were many painting boats floating on the river.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuan, who had never been to the Qinhuai River, could guess that this should be the famous Qinhuai River.

At this time, Yu De, the director of the secretariat on the side, stepped forward, opened the door of the carriage, and then said to Li Xuan: "Childe, it's already here!" ”

Since it is a private visit to Weifu, it is naturally impossible to say what is your majesty, my emperor or something, how nice a son is.

To be honest, Li Xuan likes this title very much, it sounds like he is a merry and talented person!

Li Xuan said: "Since you have arrived, let's go down and take a walk!" ”

I immediately got off the carriage and looked around, and I saw a huge painting boat not far away, but the painting boat was still against the shore, and the gate was closed, and I knew that it was not open to business hours.

Li Xuan: They went out in the morning, and at this moment, it was naturally early for Qinhuaihe, and many painting boats had not yet begun to open their doors to welcome guests.

However, Li Xuan is not in a hurry, today he is here to inspect the customs of Qinhuai River, and he doesn't have to go to the painting boat at night!

During the day, you can go too!

Of course, you can't be too anxious now, just after I came, I went directly to the painting boat, which seemed too unstylish, which did not conform to Li Xuan's consistent positioning of himself.

He is dressed like this, with more than a dozen entourages, from head to toe, he is a powerful child, how can he not have style.

So he directly asked his entourage to go over to inquire about the situation first, and he decided to check the situation of the big painting boat in front of him, see if there were any violations, and indirectly supervise the work of the relevant officials in Jinling City.

Well, last year, the imperial court made relevant regulations for the cultural and entertainment industry, requiring employees to register before they can engage in related work, and requiring regular health inspections, requiring the payment of taxes, and strictly prohibiting human trafficking and other activities, prohibiting managers from imprisoning and persecuting employees, etc.

In order to achieve voluntary registration, voluntary employment, and withdrawal at any time, the operator of the establishment must not use coercive means to control, otherwise, he will be fined until he goes bankrupt.

Seeing that Li Xuan asked his entourage to go to the big painting boat in front of him to inquire about the situation, Yu De, the director of the Secretariat on the side, had a normal face and did not change in the slightest, and immediately said: "Yes, son, the little ones will go to investigate the situation!" ”

The Son of Heaven wants to make an unannounced visit to inspect and see if the local officials have implemented the relevant policies of the empire, and as an official of the secretariat, he naturally needs to arrange it.

So Yu De quickly stepped aside and instructed a secretary under his hand, the secretaries who could come with him on a special occasion like today, they were all smart people, and when he heard this, he immediately lowered his voice and said: "Don't worry, director, I'll go over and do it now!" ”

Soon, the young secretary was gone, and Li Xuan himself was wandering on the riverbank embankment.

Now it is the early spring, the willow trees by the river have just begun to sprout green buds, the verdant willow branches hang down from the branches, until the river, with the spring breeze gently fluttering, there are a few willow branches still hang directly to the river surface, driven by the light breeze, back and forth gently paddling the water on the river surface, waving round and round ripples.

Stopping, Li Xuan closed his eyes slightly, felt the spring breeze Buddha face, and listened to the crisp birdsong, this feeling is very good!

At the same time, the young secretary of the secretariat had already walked quickly to the painting boat not far away, for this kind of painting boat, he was very familiar with this kind of painting boat, in the past, he had not yet entered the Jinshi career, he often came to these places with a group of friends.

Before taking the examination the year before last, he had been playing on the Qinhuai River for several months, and he was quite familiar with every painting boat and every Oiran on the Qinhuai River.

In the words of later generations, that is the old driver, who is very familiar with the road, and even stops the carriage here, that is the advice he gave, why? Because the big painting boat in front of it is one of the most famous painting boats on the Qinhuai River recently, the appearance of several girls in it is needless to say, the girls who can work in this kind of tall painting boat are all superior.

And he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and when it comes to poetry, he is estimated to be better than many so-called talents.

Well, the point is that this painting boat is a high-end brand and a special one, in order to maintain its value, it is all under the banner of selling art and not selling oneself, and all of them are still yellow flower girls. The main business is to do everything possible to seduce you, but just won't let you go.

Well, don't say it, literati and writers, powerful people are good at this.

Of course, even if you are a high-end brand, it will inevitably be tried on and get a big vote, but after trying it on, it will naturally not be in the painting boat, and most of them will be directly brought back to the private house for placement.

He didn't have the courage to take the Son of Heaven to meet those Oirans with a pair of jade arms and pillows, and a little red lips, in case the Son of Heaven was going to come back from an illness, not to mention the Son of Heaven, the ladies in the harem would have to tear him up.
