"Dude, you're mixed up here, aren't you? But you're terrible at drawing this thing, is this a cat or a tiger? If it was a cat, I would have planted it today, because I am afraid of cats with this thing. If it's a tiger, hey, I'm not convinced, have you ever heard of a tiger catching a mouse to eat? "Hong Tao, the big man, stood in front of the two people, and his momentum was not weak at all, in terms of the style of this street, Hong Tao was much stronger than the two of them. Hug your arms, stagger your feet one after the other, inhale and straighten your chest, raise your chin slightly, and face the side to the sky. But you can't also turn your eyes to the sky, you have to tilt down obliquely, and look at people with the corners of your eyes, which is the standard street bastard look. But these two couldn't put on this pose, because they were much shorter than Hong Tao, and their eyes not only couldn't be slanted downward, but also had to turn upward. As soon as the person rolled his eyes, his mouth opened involuntarily, holding his arms, rolling his eyes, and opening his mouth, the standard silly boy shape has no momentum at all.

"Which one is your brother? Hugh wanted to scream nonsense...... "These two people didn't expect that Hong Tao was not only not afraid, but was happier than them, as for buddies and planting these words, they could understand them, but they didn't understand the meaning, and they were a little confused for a while.

"You see, this place is not far from the city gate, and if there is a fight, the police guarding the city will definitely not arrest me. I'm a foreigner who came here to pay tribute to your officials, and they won't arrest me, so they have to arrest you. So, let's be civilized today, and we want to fight civilly, not martial. Seeing that you are also a master of chasing art, simply, let's compare tattoos, whoever looks good wins. But there is a premise, you are not allowed to touch it, and whoever touches me will beat whom. Older ones. Take a look! Hong Tao doesn't care if they understand it or not. The more you don't understand it, the better it will be. Everything that is unknown is fear. Taking advantage of the heat, he unbuttoned his shirt and turned around one hundred and eighty degrees, and at the same time, his shirt fell off, and he took on a bodybuilder's pose, leaving his back exposed in broad daylight. As the muscles on his back shook back and forth, the big rat's head looked like it was alive. Squeezing eyebrows, this trick is used by Hong Tao to coax children to play, and now take it out and try it to use.

"Good...... Wang Er, you better withdraw, compare with others, you are a cat, shame! "This is a downtown area, and these two people are not new faces, they estimate that they take advantage of foreign merchants and tourists in this area every day. As soon as he appeared, people in the neighborhood gathered in a circle to watch the excitement. People who didn't want to be blackmailed are now anti-customer-oriented, not only did they not show weakness. also got into the ring with these two ground-sitting cannons. This play is simply so good-looking, the Song people made another mistake when they saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, and they began to applaud and coax, and there were also people who made remarks, for fear that the two sides would not be angry.

"I ...... We recognized the wrong person, and we shouldn't have hit someone...... Walk! "The momentum is coming out of the bones, a murderous Hong Tao stands here, whether he laughs or cries, that energy is not comparable to two little ruffians. Coupled with his height and back muscles, he saw that the two guys were dizzy, and he knew that this deal was planted, and he couldn't fight with people because of this little thing, and he was not sure if he really fought hard, so he had to find an excuse and pull the little lady away from the crowd.

"Sun thief! Don't go, you guys, fool me with Nima's broken glass, and I'll pinch out the urine of a few of you! At this time, Hong Tao didn't do it, because he finally saw the little lady's face clearly, and he almost didn't vomit. The guy wasn't a little lady at all, but a thin man in a woman's clothes and heavy makeup, with his beard unshaven. Originally, Hong Tao wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at the people's parents, but now he felt that he had been greatly insulted, so he had to catch up and cross the three immoral and smoking things one by one. You can't do this if you don't have a business, so why don't you get a real lady!

"You can't chase it, you can't chase it, these people are witch leaders, and they are quite powerful in this area, so it's okay to retreat them." Luo Youde didn't quite understand why Hong Tao was so light and calm just now, why he was suddenly anxious, so he had to hold Hong Tao and not let him chase him.

"This thing is organized, too?" As soon as Hong Tao heard Luo Youde's words, he immediately stopped rushing forward.

"It's not worth mentioning, Splash Ear...... Walk around, go into the city, go into the city. Luo Youde was disgusted with saying that these people were dirty, so he urged Hong Tao to get on the horse and continue to walk towards the city gate.

Passing through a commercial street with grain stores on both sides, the two men and two horses finally entered Lin'an City from Chongxin Gate, this city gate still has an urn city, but the urn city is full of barracks, and no stalls or shops are allowed. Hong Tao also deliberately looked at the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers guarding the city, and although he didn't have any bright armor and only wore a leather armor, he was relatively strong, and his height was obviously half a head taller than ordinary people. Unlike in the movie novel, the soldiers defending the city are the same as those who ask for food, and it seems that those literary works are not credible.

Luo Youde's shop is on Sanqiao Street, located in the west of the city, and Chongxinmen is the east city gate, and after entering, it is along the stone road to the west. In fact, Luo Youde wanted to set up the shop in Chongxinmen, but there was no suitable house to rent and buy, either it was too expensive or there was no vacancy at all. The streets inside Chongxinmen are full of shops on both sides, selling everything, and there is really no empty house to use all the way. The house on Sanqiao Street was still obtained by Luo Youde who gritted his teeth and was slaughtered by the tooth man with a small knife, and it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land in Lin'an City is expensive, as long as it is a place where stalls are allowed, there is no idleness.

After walking half a mile, Hong Tao found another interesting thing, there are always two big flagpoles standing on the street. At the beginning, Hong Tao thought it was a flagpole, but every street has it, and it is still a pair, and it is set up at the street entrance, which makes Hong Tao very puzzled, and he doesn't need so many flagpoles, why is it used? Let's ask, the answer is that it has nothing to do with the flagpole, it's called Cousin. What does that mean? The meaning is very simple, the surface wood is connected with the surface wood, and the stall is allowed on the outside of the line, and whoever sets up the stall on the inside of the line will be punished. This thing should be regarded as a traffic sign, which not only takes care of the interests of hawkers, but also prevents too many stalls from obstructing traffic. Hong Tao also paid special attention to it, indeed, there were no hawkers to set up stalls in the table, whether it was the urban management of Lin'an City that was particularly powerful, it was unknown.

Chengguan Hong Tao didn't see it, but he saw a lot of soldiers wearing red shoulders, every half a mile, there was a small room on the side of the street, on which was written the military patrol shop, and there would be at least one soldier standing at the door of the house, Hong Tao pondered that it should be a public security department such as the police, urban management or armed police. As a result, he guessed wrong, the military patrol shop is not a police station, nor a joint defense brigade or a city management team, but a fire brigade. Every 300 steps set up a shop, a shop five shop soldiers, day and night patrol, once the fire is found, draw water to extinguish, do not work the people, this is the professional firefighters of the Great Song Dynasty. It is indeed professional, because the Song Dynasty was not a compulsory military system, its soldiers were all professional soldiers, and being a soldier was to go to work, so these firefighters were not temporary settings, nor were they spontaneous, let alone temporary workers.

Gu Luo Youde said that in each residential area, there is also an institution called Huoyu. They would build a 40-foot-high lookout and send people to look out on it day and night, and if there was a fire on either side, they would ring the alarm bell and notify the nearby military patrol shop to put out the fire. There will also be a variety of fire-fighting equipment in the courtyard of the fire, such as ladders, pumps, water bladders, water bags and other equipment, which looks a bit like the fire squadron of later generations, and the Song people call them hidden fire soldiers, which is quite appropriate.

What makes Hong Tao feel most reasonable is that when fighting fires, if the water used by the fire fighters is not enough, they must buy it from the shops, and they are not allowed to pay a penny, let alone requisition for free. Generally, this kind of service is provided by a specialized commercial guild, called the water store, they have a professional water transporter, water storage truck, once the fire alarm sounds, the first to arrive at the scene is not necessarily the fire submariner, it is likely to be the water truck of the water line. This is Hong Tao's own guess, because divers are just a profession, and it is inevitable to slack off after working for a long time, but the water industry is a commercial guild, it is to make money, the motivation between the two is different, and the effect is definitely different.

Professional firefighting team, this thing is a public welfare organization that only loses money and does not make money, China's first firefighter was established in the Song Dynasty, what about the second one? In 1902, Yuan Shikai established it in Tianjin. Didn't these dynasties in the middle ever be established? It has been established, but it is all for the imperial palace, and none of it is for the common people. From this point of view, the ruling class of the Song Dynasty was stronger, at least they knew that after collecting taxes, they had to take out a part of it to provide services to the people, not to deal with it. Whether a society is civilized or not should not only look at whether it is brave and expanding, but also from all aspects of comprehensive analysis, the more inconspicuous details, sometimes the more can reflect the essence of things. Insufficient is insufficient, good is good, can not be generalized by points, let alone from personal preferences.

After passing through a large commercial area, the front suddenly opened up, giving Hong Tao the feeling that he had come to Chang'an Street! Indeed, it is Chang'an Street, no, it is Royal Street, also called Ten Mile Forbidden Street. It is the north-south central axis of Lin'an City, the south side leads to the Forbidden City, in the Great Song Dynasty called Da Nei, and the north side goes all the way to the north city wall. Luo Youde said that there is also a royal street in Bianliang, which is 200 steps wide, almost 300 meters, and Lin'an City is much smaller than Bianliang City, so the royal street can't be so wide, but Hong Tao thinks it's not narrow, at least 100 meters.

Different from Chang'an Street, there is a royal road on this royal street, that is, there is a road paved with white stone strips in the middle of the street, and there are ditches on both sides, and lotus flowers are planted in the ditch, which is separated from the streets on both sides. This road is not taken most of the time, only when the emperor travels, it is usually so empty, he does not go up to anyone. What about the common people? The common people were not allowed to cross the ditch on both sides, and for this reason there were wooden dwarf horses placed there next to the ditch, only more than a foot high, which was a reminder.
