Chapter 1558: Sleepless Night
"Whew--- it's so comfortable. I didn't expect the food here to be so delicious. β
Wei Ji came to the room that had just been booked and lay directly on the bed, his expression was really indescribable.
Also following in were Du Shaoyun and Liu Mo, who were also red-faced, with round stomachs, and they couldn't sit down.
"Wei Da, don't fall asleep, we have to go to the Grand Theater to watch the garden nightmare later." Liu Mo kindly reminded.
Du Shaoyun said: "Just sleep, when I paid the bill, the shopkeeper told me that someone would come to remind us later, let's just take the carriage over." β
"It's so convenient to live here." Liu Mo said excitedly.
Wei Ji sat up suddenly.
Liu Mo and Du Shaoyun looked at Wei Ji in surprise.
"Wei Da, what's the matter?"
Wei Ji grabbed the futon and said curiously: "What is this futon made of, it's not hemp, it's not silk." β
Du Shaoyun said: "This is the cotton transported from the south of the Yangtze River, and the beauty of freedom makes it into a quilt." β
"Cotton? I remember. β
Liu Mo also walked over as he spoke, touching the quilt, "It's still not as good as silk." β
Wei Ji nodded and said, "Guanzhong Hotel, it looks magnificent from the outside, and silk should be prepared for us." β
Du Shaoyun smiled and said, "That's the case, we live in it now, it's called ---, the standard room, and the deluxe room is silk." β
Vetti wondered, "Why don't you book a deluxe room?" β
Du Shaoyun said: "Let He Ruohan and Yuwen Xiumi order it, we are lucky, if it is a little later, we can only live in an ordinary room." β
Wei Ji snorted: "Recently, He Ruohan and they have been in the limelight. β
Du Shaoyun sighed and said: "We really can't compare with them now, the luxury room is not cheap, if we want to play here for a few more days, we have to save a little use, the price of this standard room is quite suitable for us." β
Wei Ji said angrily: "When will he He Ruo's family be able to ride on the head of my Wei family." β
Liu Mo said: "Wei Da, I think Brother Du is reasonable, their family is not as good as your Wei family, but the two of them have already come out to do business, what they have in their hands is money, we still have to take it from home, this is too much, and our parents will scold, now we really can't compare with them!" β
Du Shaoyun nodded with deep feelings, "We should also come out to do business and make some money, there are many places to use money now, and it is not a matter to always take it from home." β
Wei Ji said: "You are really promising, and you want to be a businessman?" In the future, we will become officials, and we will have a salary every month, are you still afraid that we will have no money? β
Liu Mo said: "You can't say that, we have just joined the office, and at most we can mix up a loose official from the fifth grade, how much money can we have, you look at Brother Shanxing, the money that people earn in a day is the money that many officials earn for a year." β
Du Shaoyun said: "In the past, businessmen were humble, but now everyone is competing to do business, you look at the Shandong Group, isn't it the four families of Cui Lu Zheng Wang, they say every day that businessmen are humble, no treachery and no business, but they themselves run to do business, now the north-south trade is smooth, this back and forth, they don't know how much money they can make, they are really shrewd enough." β
Speaking of this, he glanced at Wei Ji and said, "Aren't there people in your Jingzhao Wei clan who do business, but your family doesn't do it." β
Liu Mo said: "Either a few of us can make a deal to do, it's a big deal that we don't come forward." β
"It's doable." Du Shaoyun said: "But we haven't done a deal, and we don't know what to do?" β
Liu Mo smiled and said, "Now that the Grand Theater is so popular, we can also try it, after all, the three of us have been in Pingkang since childhood, and we are still familiar with this aspect." β
Du Shaoyun and Wei Ji suddenly heard it with their eyes flashing.
Like them, it is already very common, because the aristocracy is still based on farming, how much money is earned every year, at the beginning of the year can be seen at the end of the year, the increase is almost negligible, with the more tricks and more goods, their expenses have gradually increased a lot, which means that they are their property began to shrink, especially the sons and brothers, they are taking the family's money, for them, on the one hand, their needs have increased, but their financial resources have not increased, so there is a bit of an imbalance in income and expenditure.
And the advantages of the new nobles who followed Han Yi to take the business path at the beginning have gradually been revealed, they are now working hard and enjoying the changes that have occurred, after all, the nobles have a unique advantage, this foundation is thick, and they have a reputation, they want to do business, and the success rate is very high.
......
After a morning of desertion, from noon onwards, the new market began to become more and more popular, to what extent, all the hotels in this new market were already overcrowded.
More than 100 four-wheeled carriages are running all afternoon, because if you play, it is still a playground and a grand theater to play, and there are not many projects to play in the new market, generally it is a chess club, a tea club, or a painting and writing, because the new market does not need too many projects, you can get some indoor projects, anyway, the grand theater and the playground are on the side, so everyone also goes there to play, and then in the evening, take the carriage directly to the new market, and do not return to the city.
Because everyone has noticed that the biggest charm of this new market is not in the daytime, this day is just for everyone to get familiar with the new market, don't get lost, the night of the new market is the most attractive.
Because of the curfew in the city, although it has been opened somewhat, but the architectural design is based on the curfew system, first of all, there is a lack of lighting system, so even if it is open every five days and one night, but if you want to go out to play, you will still encounter a lot of trouble, the pattern is like this, this is a big project to change, and the court has no intention of changing. The design of the new market has already taken into account the operation of the night, including the lighting design. For example, in the middle of the square in later generations, there was either a fountain or a pool, and in the middle of the square of the new market was a very large fire lighting device.
At night, the whole new market is lit up.
For example, the oil lamp has been gradually eliminated, because after several years of development, the candle industry has been greatly promoted, mainly the Yuan family, Han Yi told the Yuan family to breed ash worms to produce candles, and now the Yuan family's ash worm breeding scale has been very large, not only that, the Yuan family is also looking for raw materials to make candles, such as animal fat, beeswax, and so on.
Nowadays, the candles of the entire new market are all provided by the Yuan family, which shows how large its scale is, but compared to the investment of the Yuan family, this is nothing.
And the outside of the house is not only wood, but also oil, but now it is not called oil, it is called "fertilizer". It is said that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the local people are using this thing to burn the fire, which has been maintained for hundreds of years, and no one has paid attention to it, let alone used it as a commodity, until the rise of this commercial civilization in the Guanzhong region, last year a gentleman surnamed Li in Gaonu County monopolized the land, and this year the oil was made into a commodity, which was sold to Chang'an and Luoyang, and it was a lot of money in a year.
Oil should be in business, this is not Han Yi's idea, this transaction is Sang Mu talked about, he also lived here not long ago, only to find that the original new market has used oil, he was shocked, Han Yi has not thought about oil, because oil is too advanced, there is not enough technology to mine and refine, with the current technology, can develop coal, then he has to burn high incense, he doesn't know where there will be oil overflow, no need to use in vain.
This is the advantage of commercial civilization, because wealth will induce people to constantly innovate and find better things, rather than settle for the status quo, which is one of the most fundamental differences from the small-scale peasant economy.
In the brightly lit new market, there are people shaking everywhere, and compared to the daytime, there are many more women, these gentlemen are some old drivers, after booking the room at noon, they will send someone to take their concubines in the afternoon, if this kind of scene is not accompanied by beautiful women, it is really ashamed of Han Yi's thoughts!
Moreover, prostitutes were prevalent in the Tang Dynasty, and they also played exchanges, this kind of scene where everyone got together with their concubines is not unique today.
But in this way, the atmosphere of freedom is even stronger.
Winter doesn't seem to exist, and under normal circumstances, who would want to go out on such a cold day, but if you're in a new market, you won't feel the winter atmosphere at all.
Han Yi and Xiao Wuyi also came outside, this freedom is too tempting, Xiao Wuyi has just experienced the pleasure of this freedom, she enjoys it very much, and she is also very happy, and she is even more indescribably satisfied with the day that Han Yi arranged for her.
"Xia Guan has seen Han Shangshu and Mrs. Han."
When the two young men in uniform saw Han Ye, they immediately saluted.
Before Han Yi could speak, Xiao Wuyi said, "It turned out to be a fat sheep and a little sound!" β
These two are Zheng Xiang and Yang Sen.
The two looked at Xiao Wuyi and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, we are all royal police, you still call it that, is it appropriate? But the other party is Xiao Wuyi, so forget it after thinking about it.
Han Yi couldn't hold back a smile and said, "How does it feel to be here?" β
"It's good--- good." Yang Sen smiled, but when he thought of Xiao Wuyi's presence again, he couldn't help but quickly hold back his smile, he and Xiao Xiao were small, they were both Jiangzuo nobles, and he was also afraid of Xiao Wuyi.
This royal police patrol in other places, that is the office space provided by the government, and it is very broken for a long time, after all, many county officials do not like the royal police, the environment must be like that, but come here, the office space is provided by the new market, although the temple is small, but it is complete, and it also provides delicious supper, you can meet two acquaintances after walking two steps, and chat a few words, this can not be called patrolling, this is to vacation.
Han Yi saw that they were full of excitement, so he said: "You have to remember your identity at all times, you are not here to play, there are a lot of people here, pay attention to one point, don't be lazy and lazy, if something goes wrong, people will investigate it." β
"Yes, the lower official knows."
"Go get busy."
"Whoa!"
The two saluted again, and then left.
Xiao Wuyi pursed her lips and smiled: "Husband, I didn't expect them to be afraid of you." β
Han Yi sighed and said, "What are you afraid of, I'm just a fox and a fake tiger." β
Xiao Wuyi glared at him angrily, and said, "By the way, this is about to celebrate the New Year, will Xiao Xiao come back for the New Year?" β
Han Yi thought for a while and said: "If there is nothing to do, they should all have a few days off, but they are released in turn, and I don't know how the Civil Security Bureau arranges Xiao Xiao's vacation, and when I go back to the Civil Security Bureau next time, I will ask by the way." β
Xiao Wuyi nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "This royal policeman sounds majestic, but it's really not an easy job. β
Han Yi smiled: "If it's easy, then what else do I need to do in the training camp." β
This is a sleepless night, because everyone is very excited, after the second watch, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, although everyone went back to the house, but there is no sleepiness, this room scurry, that room scurry, drinking and fart, so unhappy.
This new market was an instant hit, and it can be expected that it will only get better and better in the future, because it is the only one, just this entertainment market that can be used every night, and many famous prostitutes do not return to the city, they come to live here, they live for free, the new market and Pingkangli are contracted, and some small courtyards are reserved for them, because they come here, it will only attract more people to come, why not.
