Entering the inner city of Nanle, compared with the outside, it seems to be more lively, and there is a peaceful scene in the bustling crowd. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoNanle is not a small county, in the record is a county of at least 18,000 households, with a total population of more than 100,000, and among the household registrations near the county seat, there are also thirty or forty thousand, they are on the household registration, it can be said that they are people in the county, but the county is only less than 0.2 square kilometers, and it can't accommodate so many people at all, most of them are people living outside the city.

Fang market is for the citizens and traders from near and far opened, Nanle such a county town by the canal, is also relatively rare, coupled with the commercial flow brought by the canal, Nanle has become the absolute commercial center nearby, this is also one of the roles played by many ancient cities, the merchants from the south to the north, the residents of the city, a prosperous landscape.

This is the Song Dynasty, with a high degree of urbanization and developed commerce, the closer he gets to Fang City, the more he feels that for Zhao Xin, this is the real history that appears in front of him. On both sides of the street, a large courtyard gradually decreased, the roadside shops began to increase, outside the market, specially for the market to open a restaurant one after another, the density of the market is quite high, probably will accommodate thousands of operators, this is the natural industry focus area, when walking to the market, in some streets, also see the traces of foreigners.

There were a lot of foreigners in the Song Dynasty, whether it was recorded or in the travelogue, no less than in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty, foreigners were mostly concentrated in the coastal and capital slightly different, the foreigners of the Song Dynasty, because of the relationship between the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, almost all over the Song Dynasty, the powerful Song Dynasty, like a magnet, attracted the attention of the whole world, a lot of ships, will go upriver from the mouth of the Yangtze River, through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, into Bianliang, and even along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Enter the entire northern region of China. This part of the foreigners, not only from West Asia or Arabia maritime merchants, but also some blacks, of course, whether these blacks from Africa, or from Southeast Asia and other tropical regions, it is difficult to say, they are much darker than the Chinese.

In fact, when the vegetable market is outside, most of the Song people's faces, the kind of pride and self-confidence from the heart, this is not a simple disguise can be disguised, it is from the heart, in the city, it is further, the grassroots above the rich in the Song Dynasty is the highest in all feudal societies, and the social wealth is not deformed concentrated in a small number of the most small number of people, although the top rich and big families still have a lot of right to speak, but the gap between the rich and the poor is not so big, and the people in the city are more energetic, and even to foreigners are holding their heads high.

The heyday of the Song Dynasty has created this glorious prosperous era, the culture of the Song Dynasty has always influenced the surrounding area, the famous writer Su Dongpo has long had a few Japanese concubines and servants, even when he was degraded, it was the same, many of his poems and songs, often first transmitted to Japan, and then to China, similar abound, the circle of Song Dynasty culture, almost all over Southeast Asia, and even many foreigners, even naturalized to China.

History is always scratching the itch of the boots, and truly entering the long river of history, Zhao Xin sees it with relish, history is his favorite, and he personally integrates into it, and he finds that there are deviations. The Song Dynasty was not as weak as written in the history books, if it is said that the people were rich, the people of the Song Dynasty were probably the richest in the whole of China, and it was also the fundamental reason why the Song Dynasty had been stable in the early period.

There are no landlords and bullies in the city to bully the market, and there is no so-called Khitan, Western Xia, arsonist and murderous, those occasional foreigners are not arrogant, but with a little submissive, they open their mouths, not a bird language that no one understands, it is a stammering Chinese, the strong Song Dynasty, has radiated the culture outward, no matter which race it is, when it comes to the Song Dynasty, it has to speak Chinese, the Song people rarely because they want to communicate with foreigners, to learn the words of other countries, when they come to China, they have to speak Chinese, This is the essence of the Song Dynasty.

As a historian, Zhao Xin of course knows that this is probably only the relationship between the county seat, the foreign envoys in the capital have a lot of dominance, and even there are records in the history books, the Song Dynasty still gave the Western Xia and the Liao State the year coin, not lightly starting the war, it is the established national policy of the Song Dynasty, this is not only known to the officials of the Song Dynasty, but also to the Liao State and the Western Xia, they are aware of this, maybe it will be a little more domineering.

But this kind of domineering, only in the capital, to other places, really taken, as long as it does not make a big fuss, they will definitely suffer in front of them, the Song Dynasty will not offend foreigners, and do something to officials, this, so the war caused by it does not matter, let alone just threat.

There are nearly a thousand harvests outside the city, which also makes Zhao Xin excited, on the road, most of the people who walked by were scanned by him, and some novel things will also be scanned, for example, some fruits, handicrafts, and even clothes that you carry with you, these are also a big item, the materials used in the clothes are different, some simple styles are different, and a new card will be lit up, which greatly increases the efficiency, and also greatly increases Zhao Xin's interest, maybe in this city, you can really get more cards.

The market, the market of Nanle is not big, about 150 meters long, 200 meters wide of the market, almost occupies one-fifth of the area of the entire city, this is also the source of tax in the city, the commercial tax of the Song Dynasty is not low, which is also the fundamental reason for the high income of the Song Dynasty, but this high is relatively speaking, on the basis of the prosperity of commerce, the tax is only a small part of the net income, so many merchants are still operating, connecting the merchants of the north and the south, or earn a huge amount of wealth, relative to handing over, they have more in their handsUnder the protection of the government, they can get more legal benefits.

Fang market was formed in the Tang Dynasty, which strictly separated the residential area (fang) from the trading area (city), and used laws and systems to strictly control the time and place of transactions. During the Tang Dynasty, the city implemented a strict fang-shi system, separating the commercial area from the residential area, and prohibiting business in the residential area. The Song Dynasty gradually broke the pattern of the fang market, allowing merchants to do business, and shops can be opened everywhere on the street, but the largest wholesale and sales place is still in the fang market, the fang city of Nanle is called Yong'an, Yong'an Fang is divided by a street, a small house like a pigeon cage, at least thousands of large and small shops are concentrated, mostly up and down two floors, selling goods below, as a warehouse above, from the south to the north, most of the things, can be found here.

From the beginning of entering the market, the flow of people began to be dense, this is the largest distribution center of goods around, and also shoulders the surrounding wholesale business, Sun Ji They contracted the circle, two small guys, intentionally or unintentionally guarding Zhao Xin's side, Zhao Xin didn't care about this, he almost entered every store that could enter, almost every store can get more than a dozen, or even more harvests, kept flashing red words, telling him, how much he gained, which is unimaginable outside the city, far higher than he imagined.

From food, to goods, to handicrafts, raw materials, if there are thousands of merchants in this market, maybe here, you can light up all the first-level cards, this is a rare opportunity. Perhaps, when he goes to the Daimyo's Mansion, the materials will be more prosperous than here, and that is also maybe, knowing that it is impossible, he will not go to the Daimyo's Mansion, it is too dangerous, but it is better here, when the total amount reaches a certain level, it will become difficult to increase a little more. You can take a little risk for safety, but you can't really be in danger, don't take a huge risk, light up more and hundreds in time, if you lay a good foundation in Nanle, it is really a few hundred or thousand, and you can make up for it by other methods.

Zhao Xin is four years old, such a young age, in the market, it is not abrupt, but it is not realistic to rely on his little short legs to go through the market.

Such a little young master, in the Fang City, can not be regarded as rare, but it is not uncommon, in the Fang City, every once in a while, there are similar rural young masters to visit, they have not seen the world, I don't know that there is a place like Nanle Fang City, for everything is curious.

Of course, four or five years old is so young, it is really rare, the busy market, everyone is quite busy, no one will care about a four or five-year-old child, at most is to enter the store to take a few looks, but after going out, will not follow along, at most as a simple conversation.
