Since no one is allowed to go, and this royal street leads to the south and north, what should the people do if they want to go from the east of the city to the west of the city? Don't take a detour from outside the city! No, there are five intersections on the Royal Street, and anyone can cross the Royal Street with wooden planks. These things are usually managed by the Metropolitan Water Supervision and Street Division, which is almost the municipal administration of later generations, and they belong to them for road repair, road paving, rain sweeping, and snow shoveling. The official position of the leader of the street division is very unique, so that Hong Tao was happy for a long time, he called "hook official", this word is 100% derogatory in later generations, but in the Song Dynasty, it is an official position.

After the royal street, it is Jiaomu Street and Da Wazi, and the tile is the meaning of the casino, anyway, Hong Tao understands it this way. It is like a Beijing overpass during the Republic of China, with all kinds of storytellers, singers, jugglers, plus the unique Keju and sumo wrestling of the Song Dynasty. This short two-kilometer journey made Hong Tao have a more comprehensive and specific understanding of the Southern Song Dynasty society, such as the mansions of Empress Dowager Meng and Empress Li of Zhaoci Shengxian, and Longxiang Palace are all across the street, which makes the high-ranking royal family and ordinary people close the distance. Regardless of whether you are a high-walled compound or not, anyway, as soon as you go out, it is a downtown of Vasher, no matter why, anyway, the royal family of the Song Dynasty is significantly different from other dynasties, and it is more close to the people.

Sanqiao Street is also very lively, but the most here is not a shop, but a hotel, Luo Youde's shop was formerly a small hotel, although the shop is not too big, but there is no shortage of space in the back, two courtyards, the front yard is the staff and the warehouse, the back yard is Luo Youde's private house. Since he had just come to Lin'an for a short time, he did not have any family members, and only hired two maids and a cook to take care of his daily life. Hong Tao is coming. Naturally, you don't have to go to a hotel. Choose from several rooms.

After arranging Hong Tao's residence, Luo Youde hurriedly went out, he was going to find a familiar official to ask about the sacrifice of horses, although he did not come to Lin'an for a long time, but Hong's Huanqiu lamp oil and two kinds of carved and gold-painted candles have become the purchase goods of Da Nei, and many officials and bachelors also often buy, so he has not a lot of contacts, and he cannot be said to be particularly familiar. How much can I help, at least find someone to ask. For the matter of sacrificing horses, Luo Youde is even more enthusiastic than Hong Tao, no wonder, after all, he is a Song man, and it is already a great thing to be able to give gifts to the emperor, and it is obvious how much benefit this kind of dedication can bring to him and his uncle's family if he can turn this kind of sacrifice into a real long-term offer. Businessmen have never lacked political acumen. No matter which dynasty or generation, merchants and officials united. There is only one consequence, that is, to get rich, to get rich. What happened to Karl and his unlucky cousin emperor will never happen in China, being an emperor is still a poor emperor, poorer than more than half of his ministers, who will believe it.

In terms of ushering in the send-off and asking people to do things, the customs of the Southern Song Dynasty are very similar to those of later generations, first of all, it is to treat a meal together, not to eat at home, and not to go to a small shop, the higher the grade of the restaurant, the more it can reflect your sincerity, if you can have a little entertainment to help the fun, it will be more perfect. Luo Youde went out for an afternoon, in exchange for a banquet, who to invite? It's a big official. How big? Sign the Privy Council! What is a Privy Council Affair? Hong Tao didn't know either, but after Luo Youde's explanation, he realized that this official position is indeed big, so big that it is boundless, and it is similar to the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission!

Luo Youde knows the vice chairman of the Military Commission? It's not that he knows, but his dad knows. Isn't his father demoted from the Central Committee to Qiongzhou, who doesn't have three relatives and six relatives, this vice chairman of the Military Commission is his father's former boss, and his father seems to have helped him carry the black pot before he was demoted. The specific situation Hong Tao is not clear, anyway, I heard Luo Youde say that this matter is very involved, it is a coup d'état, but his father ate melons and became unlucky.

In Luo Youde's introduction, Hong Tao heard a familiar name again, Shi Miyuan! This name Hong Tao can't be said to be familiar, he can only say that he has heard of it, and he doesn't seem to be a good official, but I don't know how bad it is and how bad it is. At present, this Shi Miyuan is the prime minister of Emperor Lizong, and he is still a single minister, and there is no division of power, so isn't it just a monopoly on power. And this vice chairman of the Military Commission named Zheng Qingzhi is Shi Miyuan's cronies.

"Lao Luo, I knew that the water in your house was so deep, so I wouldn't have gone there, or you should go by yourself, I would be embarrassed when I saw too big an official." Hong Tao actually wanted to say that when he saw a big official, his hands were itching, and he wanted to go up and beat him.

"It's not because of the family, if I come here empty-handed, he won't see me, my father came to Qiongzhou, and the reason why he was able to judge the magistrate was because he took care of him, and he didn't owe it. It was only with lamp oil and candles, and the palace purchase, that everyone moved around again. He also heard about the horse sacrifice this time, and went to the dock to see it himself, and was very interested. My brother and I don't know anything about raising horses, if Brother Hong doesn't go, how can we answer the boss's question? Luo Youde thought that Hong Tao was afraid of seeing the big officials, so he was busy clearing himself up, and by the way, he also gave Hong Tao a little, this plan was all Hong Tao's idea, who will grasp the direction if you don't go.

"Yes, it's still important to raise horses, I don't care if he's a traitor!" Hong Tao thought about it, he was drilling the horns again, who is a traitor and who is a loyal minister, there is basically no difference to himself, because after a few years, whether it is a traitor or a loyal minister, it is estimated that he will not treat himself too much, but maybe the more loyal the minister, the more he hates himself, and even curses himself to death every day. Therefore, these Southern Song Dynasty officials are a tool and a springboard for themselves, and their comments are useless to themselves.

Luo Youde's hospitality was very quiet, and soon five or six people were called to the courtyard by the guys, and Luo Youde discussed with Luo Youde what kind of guests came to this dinner, which restaurant to put in, what kind of official prostitutes to invite, what kind of dishes to serve, and even the tableware, furniture, environment, seats, and invitations were carefully arranged, and then the hula was dispersed, leaving only Luo Youde, the host of the treat, still chatting with Hong Tao leisurely in the courtyard.

"They're your friends?" Hong Tao's curiosity came again, these people were old and young, dressed differently, and their accents were different, so they didn't look like Luo Youde's acquaintances, nor did they look like his employees.

"Director and Director, you have to have their help in the banquet, and if you are not familiar with your brother's life, you can't do without them." Luo Youde's answer was light and light, as if it was a trivial matter.

"Ahh Lao Luo, you and I are honest, are your family relatives of the emperor? The director and the director are here to help you prepare the banquet! Hong Tao's little heart couldn't bear it, first invited a vice chairman of the Military Commission to eat, and now he brought in a group of directors and directors to be the envoys, what a big foundation this Nima has!

"If the director and the director don't come to prepare the banquet, what is the use of them?" Luo Youde's forced pretense is too big, and there is no sign of the end.

"Yes, you can tell me first what kind of directors and directors they are, I think it's a misunderstanding again, no matter how you look at it, you don't have that ability." The more arrogant Luo Youde said, the more suspicious Hong Tao felt, drawing on the countless misunderstandings caused by different daily words before, he felt that this time it was likely to be wrong again.

"The Fruit Bureau, the Candied Fruit Bureau, the Arrangement Bureau, the Oil Candle Bureau, the Aroma Medicine Bureau, the Vegetable Bureau, as well as the Kitchen Division, the Tea and Wine Division, the Accounting Division, and the Tableplate Division. Our family treats guests in the restaurant, and the vegetable bureau, fruit bureau, candied fruit bureau, kitchen department, account department, and table plate department are all exempted, but other things can't be saved, it's better than cooking for my brother. Sure enough, what Luo Youde said was different from the official position that Hong Tao imagined.

"Hahahaha...... In the younger brother's hometown, the director and director are both senior officials...... Hahaha, okay, okay, Brother Luo is preparing at home tomorrow, I'll go out for a walk by myself, I don't have to follow, I can't lose it. Hong Tao was about to laugh, this Nima Song Dynasty people are too capable, isn't it a set of teams that specialize in arranging family banquets for people in later generations, and they have become directors and directors here. Hong Tao decided to go for more walks, and he had to turn around by himself, and it was fun to have misunderstandings, which was also a kind of fun of travel. As for whether it will cause trouble, Hong Tao feels that he can handle it, and this confidence mainly comes from the relaxed state of society. In this state, Hong Tao felt that there would not be anything too dangerous, everyone was quite relaxed, even if there was a misunderstanding, they would laugh it off, especially if he was a foreigner in name, he could have a reason to make a mistake.

Dinner was not eaten in Luo Youde's yard, it was not because he came, Luo Youde specially wanted to entertain, he didn't cook much when he lived here, and he usually went to eat in a restaurant outside. I have to say that the reason why the catering industry in the Song Dynasty was so developed and that there was food 24 hours a day in big cities was because the people of the Song Dynasty were lazy and had higher requirements for life. It's a bit like those white-collar workers in later generations, not only don't they want to be tired, but they also require good food and drink, plus there is no curfew in the big cities of the Song Dynasty, so many people like to eat out. From this point of view, the urban residents of the Song Dynasty were indeed relatively wealthy, otherwise they would not have the money to go to the restaurant every day.

Lin'an people not only like to go down to the restaurant, but also like to order takeout, Hong Tao has seen it more than once on the street, there are restaurants in the running hall dragging trays or carrying food boxes through the market quickly, except for not wearing work clothes with store signs, riding an electric car, and the later generations of takeaway is no different. At this time, Hong Tao also saw a scene in the golden bottle of Meili, which was a little lady on the second floor of her house, opened a window, went down a hanging basket, lifted the takeaway, and then put the copper coins in the basket and sent them down. (To be continued.) )
