As the capital of Western Qin and the seat of the royal court, Hengluo also has the West City and the East City, both of which cover a large area and have a complete plan, which is a copy of the East and West Cities of Chang'an, but it is more standardized than the East and West Cities of Chang'an. The West Market is a high-quality and inexpensive commodity distribution center, both wholesale and retail, and the commodity trade here is classified and extremely standardized. A wide variety of goods from the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Mobei, Tianzhu, Northern Barbarians, Western Great Eclipse, Eastern Roman Empire, Lombard, Avar Khanate, Frankish Kingdom, Bavarian Duchy, Bulgarian Khanate, Moravia, Bohemia, Vikings, Slavs, Benevento, Stollet, Papal Dominion, Post-Umayyad, Saxon, Baltic, and many more can be found here.

In the east and west cities of Henglus, there are not only trade areas, but also living areas, as well as schools, Taoist temples, temples, restaurants, restaurants, inns, carriage and horse shops, and the government offices that manage the market. Most of the world's ethnic groups can be found here, and people who speak various languages live and do business here.

The daily flow of people in the West Market reaches more than 300,000, and the transaction volume can reach 12 million guan, and the tax revenue in Xiqin is not high, only 10% of the transaction tax, so just one West Market can bring 1.2 million guan of tax revenue to Xiqin every day.

The East Market, a trading area for the wealthy, officials, magnates and royal families, is home to expensive luxury goods from all over the world, such as Western wines, precious stones, the finest furs from the North, and precious Damascus scimitars; local cashmere coats, fur coats, precious blankets, high-purity spirits, and exquisite glassware in Xiqin; There are also Shu brocade from Shu, silk from the south of the Yangtze River, tea, porcelain, paper, and gold and silver jewelry with extremely exquisite production skills.

"Master, you really killed me, if Manager Wang knew that I took my master in and out of the market, he would definitely scold me to death!" The guard Xiao Qin followed Zhao Ziliang and chattered.

Zhao Ziliang looked around on the street and watched casually, listened to the chatter of the guard Xiao Qin, and asked casually, "Why does he want to scold you?" It's not you who instigated me to come out, it's me who wants to come out myself! ”

Xiao Qin muttered: "Chief Manager Wang won't care about these, although the people of my Xiqin live and work in peace and contentment, and the law and order are good, but there are also bad people, in case the master is outside What happened, Chief Manager Wang will definitely blame me for not stopping the master, this month's monthly money is in vain, and the responsibility for poor security is ironclad and cannot be escaped!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "You think too much, just the two of us today, no one knows that we came out quietly, besides, this Henglus City has a population of 1.8 million people, how many people know me?" Who would have thought that I would go out into the market with only one guard? ”

"I can't tell you!" Xiao Qin twisted his head to the side, very unhappy.

"Haha, don't think about it, I'll invite you to eat Jiangnan snacks, let's go!" Zhao Ziliang said and walked into the busy West Market.

The guard Xiao Qin immediately followed, "Really? ”

"Still coaxing you?"

The two of them came to the snack street of the West Market, this snack street is two miles long, there are snack bars on both sides of the street, and all kinds of famous snacks from all over the world can be found, but the taste is not absolutely authentic, then you need to taste them one by one.

"Shopkeeper, here are two small soup dumplings!" Coming to the door of a Yangzhou snack bar, Zhao Ziliang found a table and sat down.

The shopkeeper promised: "Okay! Wait a minute, two guest officers".

Zhao Ziliang beckoned to Xiao Qin: "Xiao Qin, you sit too!" ”

"This can't work, how can I eat and sit with the master? No, no, no! Xiao Qin hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.

"Let you sit, you sit!"

The snack bar is not big, only six small tables can be placed, and there are a few fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-sized children and girls chattering together while eating small soup dumplings, giggling, if these young boys and girls are not wearing robes, if the store is decorated with modern decoration, Zhao Ziliang will really wonder if he has returned to the modern world.

These young boys and girls don't have any defense between men and women, they are like very good friends, and now they are all at the age of the beginning of love, and they have nothing to talk about, complaining for a while that their parents at home have asked them to be matchmakers, and for a while complaining that the gentleman in the school is too strict, and an article is not written well and will be beaten.

Zhao Ziliang really didn't know that the social atmosphere in Western Qin had opened up to such an extent, although the atmosphere in Datang was extremely open, but men and women did not talk about it casually to this extent, which made him extremely surprised. But in general, as long as the younger generation does not mess around, this kind of atmosphere is also good, it has begun to break the shackles of etiquette and religion on people's thoughts, but it has limitations, which is good.

At one table, a dark-skinned young man with a gold ring on his left ear said, "Have you heard?" I heard that the king is going to build a military academy! ”

A fat man next to him asked, "Military Academy?" What is that? ”

This fresh word made several young boys and girls next to him interested, and the young man with a gold circle in his ears said: "The military academy is a school that specializes in teaching students to learn the art of war and strategy, and to lead the army to fight. ”

A young girl next to her asked, "What kind of officer is the sergeant major?" ”

The young man with the gold ring in his ear said: "Oh, this is the newly implemented military rank system, the sergeant major is equivalent to the team officer, and the team officer is in charge of fifty soldiers!" An ordinary soldier, no matter how brave you are and how many enemies you kill, if you are not admitted to the military academy to study, you can only be an officer at most, but if you are admitted to the military academy, you can be promoted to the deputy head or the head of the capital after completing the military academy. In the past, our Western Qin army followed the military rank system of the imperial court, and the names were too complicated, difficult to remember and difficult to distinguish, so the king promulgated a new military rank, a total of five levels and sixteen ranks, namely marshal level, general rank, school officer level, lieutenant officer level and non-commissioned officer level, the marshal temporarily only has one king, and the general rank is general, lieutenant general, and major general; The rank of colonel is colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major; The lieutenants are a first lieutenant, a lieutenant, and a second lieutenant; The non-commissioned officers are sergeant major, sergeant, sergeant, and corporal, and the recruits are all privates, and they are automatically promoted to corporal after one year of enlistment."

This young man with a golden ring on his ears said the latest military rank system promulgated by the Western Qin Imperial Court like a number of treasures, and he said it extremely clearly and in detail.

Xiao Qin whispered to Zhao Ziliang: "This is Bai Xiaode's youngest son, called Bai Zhanpeng!" ”

"Oh? I said how he and Bai Xiaode look like they were carved out of a mold, and he also had a gold ring hanging from his ear, so it turned out that he was really Bai Xiaode's son."

A fat man next to him asked Bai Zhanpeng: "Xiaobai, why are you so clear about these, do you want to be admitted to the Military Academy?" ”

Bai Zhanpeng said: "Yes, I decided to go to the military academy, do you think, the king himself is the dean of the academy, if I graduate from the academy, won't I be the king's protégé?" Who else will dare not give me face in the future? I beat him all over the ground looking for teeth, and he hasn't reasoned yet! ”

"Tut-tut・・・・・・ you have to be stricken, you have to be scolded! You run out and ask, how many people in this Henglus City don't know that you are the youngest son of General Bai of the Second Legion? Who would dare not give you face! Dare you to take the military academy just to bully people, so what else do you take the exam? Wouldn't it be better to directly ask your father Bai Xiaode to recommend you to enter the Military Academy? A young girl squeezed with disdain.

When Bai Zhanpeng heard this, he drooped his head and said, "Li Jingjing, it turns out that you also know about the recommendation?" ”

The girl snorted coldly, "What you know, how could I not know? Is it only your father Bai Xiaode who is qualified to go to the court to discuss politics? ”

The guard Xiao Qin whispered to Zhao Ziliang: "This is Li Siye's youngest daughter!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was eating steamed buns, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, daring to love these young men and girls are all the children of high-ranking officials and generals in Western Qin, and they are all the second generation of **** officials!

Zhao Ziliang finished eating the buns and was about to get up and leave, when a group of people walked bustling outside, and one person was grabbed by the arm of several people who looked like a family and escorted away, followed by a large group of people, what happened?

Bai Xiaode's youngest son, Bai Zhanpeng, turned his head and shouted, "Oh, there's a lot of fun, let's go!" After speaking, he dropped a handful of Xiqin's new version of copper coins on the table, got up quickly, walked out of the door and chased after him, and several other boys and girls also got up and left.

Zhao Ziliang took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and waved his chin at Xiao Qin: "Give money, let's go see the excitement too!" ”

Xiao Qin was very unhappy: "Master, you are too inauthentic, I only have such a small amount of monthly money every month, and every time I come out, I pay the bill, didn't you say that you invited me to eat?" In the end, I still have to pay for it, and I have to save money to marry my mother-in-law! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Snort, I eat a little bit of your stuff and care so much!" Yes, I'll tell you a matchmaker and help you find a wife, and we'll settle it out, how about it? ”

Xiao Qin reacted quickly: "A gentleman's word!" ”

"It's hard to chase a horse!" Zhao Ziliang smiled, turned around and walked out the door as he spoke.
