Chapter 3 The capital city is salty

Xiaodang has lost the hesitation and anxiety when he first woke up, and slowly calmed down.

Besides, the character in the previous life was very stable, and naturally he could quickly adapt to the new environment.

I just feel sad and hesitant that I don't know what happened to my parents.

But he also knew that there was no way to comfort the second elder, so he had to hide his thoughts in the bottom of his heart.

To appease his mother Dou and the prime minister's father, he should be self-contained, and let Mr. Wu Gui, who came to ask for guilt, not have to blame himself, saying that this time it was his lack of experience and had nothing to do with his teaching.

Let all the maids and housekeepers in the family not surround him all day long, he wants to rest quietly for a few days.

But Dou was not at ease, and insisted on leaving the maid Hongyi, who had taken care of him since he was a child, by his side.

Well, Xiaodang asked the maid named Red to follow her and came to the pavilion by the lotus pond in the backyard to read and rest.

He still reads some books of this dynasty, and the more the better.

The lotus flowers are not blooming, and the leaves are plump.

Blowing the slightly cool spring breeze, I tasted the fragrant tea cooked in the red clothes, and instantly spit in the pond with a sigh, and rinsed my mouth with boiled water.

I didn't expect the so-called fragrant tea to be this taste, add some inexplicable ingredients to boil in it, pour it into a cup like paste, and it is unpleasant.

It's really famous that it's better to drink it directly!

Although you can't drink coffee, milk tea, etc., you should be able to drink green tea without condiments, right?

It seems that in ancient times when there was no Internet, telephone, TV and movies, the quality of life still had to find a way to keep up.

When Xiao Dang was secretly thinking about it, Hongyi came over and said, "Lang Jun, Brother Pin, please see you." ”

"Who is he......"

"Your previous companion, he also had to be punished for your fall injury, and he was only allowed to walk around yesterday, and he wanted to come to see you."

Red-clothed was used to things that didn't bother him in his head, and he explained it very clearly.

"Oh, let him in."

"Yes."

Brother Pin is much shorter than Dang Congfei, I heard that his body was quite fat, because he was punished and hungry for a few days before losing weight, but now he looks a lot more capable in a green shirt.

"Lang Jun, the villain is tired of you and injured, and you deserve to die......"

As soon as they met, Brother Pin knelt down and kowtowed.

Seeing this, Xiao Dang hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, but was pulled by the red clothes next to him.

He reacted instantly.

As a person who has come from a previous life, no one has ever kowtowed to himself.

But since he was in ancient times and was still a prime minister, these etiquettes were essential.

I had no choice but to give up.

"Okay, okay, it's none of your business. Hurry up! ”

After he finished kowtowing a few heads, Xiao Dang said.

Brother Pin got up, wiped his eyes that had no tears at all, and then smiled toothily, looked at the faces of the young master and Hongyi, and saw that there was no displeasure, so he reached out and picked up a piece of mung bean cake, and put it in his mouth before saying, "Lang Jun, you have been in a coma for a few days, but do you want to send the horse we lost to others?" ”

"What horse, who did you lose?"

"Young Master Yang, have you forgotten?"

“……”

a loser!

Xiao Dang scolded secretly.

A horse is worth hundreds of thousands in a previous life!

I didn't think I was once a big gambler!

……

At the end of the fifth day of the first month, in the prime minister's house.

Xiaodang shouted to the red clothes to find clothes and prepare to go out.

Since you are here, let's go and meet the unique capital of Qin and the customs and customs of Daxian, which are unique in history.

Hongyi is a poor child found by her mother Dou from her mother's family, and she was in the house when she was a teenager, and later when Cong Fei began to go to school, she was in charge of daily life.

Therefore, among the slaves and maids in the house, only Hongyi and the second son walked the closest.

Men don't have anything to do when they go out, and they don't need to be served by carriages and horses, and they don't need to bring anything.

However, Xiaodang listened to Hongyi's suggestion, and still asked Brother Pin to bring a few strings of yellow copper coins to prevent buying something, and then to eat.

He himself chose a set of short-sleeved shirts with narrow sleeves, but at the insistence of the stubborn red clothes, he put on a sleeveless soap robe outside.

I took a folding fan in the movie again, and it looked elegant and elegant.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in Xingningfang on the edge of the southern city, occupying half of the area.

There are not only dozens of large and small main house living rooms, slaves and maids and soldiers living in the wing room, carriage and horse farming forage room, kitchen sundries ice cellar and so on.

There is also a small school field with a wide area and a back garden pool with many pavilions.

It can be said that the scale of the Prime Minister's Mansion is one of the best in Daxian, the capital of Qin, and no one can compare.

Although the streets outside the house are wide and clean, it is still a little far from the east and west markets and the inner city of the palace, and every time Xiangye and Gongzi go out, they will ride horses or drive.

The three of them went out and headed south, and soon they saw the gate of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city saw that when they saw the son, they all bowed their hands to greet him.

Hongyi and Brother Pin accompanied the son to walk slowly, and when they met him they were curious, they bought and ate fresh snacks, and when they saw things they didn't understand, they talked to him about them, and they also took the initiative to talk about some customs and personnel to help the son, who was still a little hysterical, to recall the past.

Xiaodang prefers to inquire about the affairs of the government and the opposition, but with the knowledge and cultivation of the two of them, they will naturally answer if they know, and they dare not talk nonsense if they don't know or can't express it.

After the three of them went out of the city gate, they circled around the city wall, and then returned to the Wei River in front of the south gate to look at the scenery on both sides.

The sails in the river are full of shadows, the cars and horses on the bridge are sparkling, the soldiers at the city gate check and pay taxes, and the pedestrians are bustling, a stable and prosperous scene.

Xiao Jing silently estimated in his heart.

Although the historical results in his previous life were not particularly good, he was at least passing, so after he learned about the layout of Daxian City, he felt very shocked in his heart.

At present, the capital of the Qin State is Daxian, which is divided into two parts, the southern city and the northern city, and the scale is extremely grand.

Daxian originally did not have a city wall, more than 200 years after the founding of the country, due to the frequent southern invasion of the Hu nationality led by the Northern Xiongnu, the most serious time was less than 100 miles away from Daxian, the imperial court realized the necessity of defense, so it built the current city wall as high as three zhang.

After the construction of the city wall, in order to facilitate the management of the subjects and the people, and prevent spies from getting in, the imperial court divided a number of private squares in the city and set up workshops for management.

There are three gates in the east, west and south of Daxian City, and one in the north.

Thirty zhang outside the south gate is the Wei River, when the city wall is built, it is also the digging and diversion canal that costs the people and money, but because the terrain of the imperial city in the north of Daxian is gradually rising, it is extremely difficult to dig outside the north wall.

As a result, only three sides had a moat, and the Yulin Army was stationed in the north.

Later, after hundreds of years of development and the gradual increase in population, the city of Daxian was overwhelmed with congestion, and more and more people had to live outside the east and west moats and on the south bank of the Wei River.

Later, when the scattered squares and villages around the cattle and horses on the south bank became more and more dense, the imperial court widened and expanded the straight bridge over the Wei River, standardized the neighborhoods on the south bank, and divided many new residential areas, and moved all the residents outside the east and west moats to the south city.

So far, although there is no city wall in the southern city, the combined area of the north and south cities has long exceeded the area of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty in history, and it is close to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the wealthier and more powerful dignitaries basically lived in the northern city, which was protected by the city walls.

The entire Nancheng area is a residential area for ordinary people living at the bottom, or petty officials.

As a result, Daxian formed a pattern in which the Wei River passed through the city and was divided into rich in the north and poor in the south.

At the same time, Nancheng has also become a good place for the young masters and daughters of Beicheng to have fun and show off when they are bored.
