Chapter 52: The Upgraded Lottery
Chang'an Chengfang City is neatly planned and has a strict system. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The "Fangli" in the INFO Castle is formed by the intersection of 14 east-west streets and 11 north-south streets in the outer Guo Castle, with a total of 108 squares. But there are not many that future generations can be familiar with, and Pingkangfang is one of them.
With Suzaku Street, which runs through the north and south, as the central axis, it is divided into two districts: east and west. The eastern district is occupied by the powerful, and the western district is mostly occupied by the wealthy. Pingkangfang is located in the fifth square of the third street of the eastern district, adjacent to Dongshi in the east, adjacent to Chongrenfang across Chunming Avenue in the north, and Xuanyangfang in the south.
Because the Shangshu Provincial Government Office is located in the east of the imperial city, the nearby Zhufang has become a gathering place for the lifters, candidates and officials from other provinces in Beijing and people from all over the country who enter Beijing, and Pingkangfang is one of them.
In the Tang Dynasty, the local town offices in Beijing were called Jinjuyuan, and there were 25 Jinjuyuan in Chongrenfang, and 15 in Pingkangfang, which shows how popular this place is, especially during the imperial examination every year.
Pingkangfang and Chongrenfang are sandwiched between the north and south, and the candidates and candidates are as few as thousands to tens of thousands every year, gathering in the capital to participate in the election. The above two squares "because it is a street of convergence, then the two cities, day and night noisy, the lights are endless, the squares in Beijing, Mo and the other."
According to the second volume of "Kaiyuan Tianbao Relics": "Chang'an has Pingkangfang, the place where ** lives, Kyoto is a few chivalrous, and it is gathered here." …… At the time, people called this workshop a merry Yazawa. ”
Well, you will know it when you see the old drivers here. Like DG, this Pingkangfang is a well-known red* light district. It's just that Datang's Pingkangfang never checks the night, and it won't invite you to tea. Moreover, the literati and the sons of high-ranking officials are proud to go to this place.
The prostitutes of Pingkangfang belong to the teaching workshop and have received relatively strict training in singing and dancing, poetry, and musical instruments since childhood. The objects of worship and service are mainly royal bureaucrats and aristocratic scholars who like to chant poetry and literature, and they often have to be called to worship and serve banquets.
Therefore, the cultural literacy and taste of the girls here are also relatively high, and there are many talented women. There is also a big difference between the girls here and the girls in DG, if you really want to divide the high and low, it is roughly that the girls here can compare with those female stars in the future.
DG's girls are expected to be disgusted when they make maids for them, because DG's girls can't do anything other than undress, a one-stop package of ice and fire, or a waterbed bobo ball. The two are not at the same level at all, and there is not much comparison.
Therefore, if the children who go to Beijing to take the exam happen to visit Pingkangfang, once they find a bosom friend in the gentle township, they will sprout sincere love. The heroines in the Tang legend "The Biography of Li Wa" and "The Biography of Huo Xiaoyu" are from here, and the story of the scholar and the beauty also comes from this.
This is the prosperity of Pingkangfang during the Kaiyuan Tianbao, which was known as the Kaiyuan prosperous era at that time. Although it is not as good as when it is chastized, it is not far behind.
If you want to make a restaurant in Ping'anfang, the price is much more expensive than that of Xishi, and Li Hao's money must be calculated carefully, otherwise it is not enough. But with a branch here, the benefits are obvious.
This is the place where the dignitaries and nobles are most concentrated, and as long as the fame is released, the whole world will know about it in the future. In Pingkangfang, Chang'an, Kyoto, Datang, there is a great natural restaurant, and the food there is a must.
There is no need for Li Hao to spend his own money on advertising, those dignitaries and scholars who come to socialize and play can help Li Hao promote it for free. Therefore, the restaurant selected in this place must be big, the decoration must be luxurious, and it must be magnificent.
Before the task of the junior gourmets was completed, Li Hao and Uncle Zhong left the restaurant and went to their own farm outside the city. The place where honeycomb coal and white-cut chicken and roast duck are made is watching here, and there are more than a dozen teenagers, so don't worry about what problems there will be.
However, in the future, it will be necessary to repair the wall, send more men, and hire some guards. Otherwise, Li Hao was really worried that someone would come here to rob his things, and wealth would be charming.
"Can these things be grown in our fields?" Pumpkin seeds and pepper seeds were brought over by Li Hao, as well as hundreds of catties of sweet potatoes. Uncle Zhong sat on the carriage, looked at these things and asked Li Hao.
"Of course you can!" Li Hao replied with a smile after hearing this, but because the carriage driver was there, Li Hao didn't say what these things did. Who knows if the groom will tell him about these things when he goes back.
And because these will start to prepare seeds after the New Year, Li Hao will naturally not keep them in his own house, so he is ready to hand these things over to the head of the village on the side of the mountain.
Although the people on the other side of the plain have the same surname as Li Hao, he is not very at ease with the people over there now. Some things have betrayed the first time, and there is a good chance that there will be a second time.
And these things in their hands are real valuables at this time, who knows if those people will betray again. The farmers in the mountain side village are different, they are their own father's subordinates.
After arriving at the place, Li took a good look at his family's farmland. The planned canal has been repaired, and several large water wheels are constantly turning, carrying the water to the diversion ditch on one side.
At this time, the farmers on the plains and the side of the mountains came to grind wheat and other things that they needed to grind. The stone mill driven by this waterwheel is much more trouble-free than their manual work, and it can be grinding day and night.
The children in the two villages also like to run this way, watching the waterwheels laugh silly on the side, leaving strings of laughter.
With these things, the villagers of the two villages do not have to grind things by themselves, and they do not have to worry about the water in the cultivated land. This thing brings so much convenience that people in both villages will praise their watermills from time to time.
After Li Hao looked at the few leaders here, he turned to the pools used to store water. These ponds are used to store water during droughts and to raise fish during normal times.
Li Hao's fish head hot pot is also famous now, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to meet his needs in the future by relying on the fish caught by those fishermen around Chang'an City.
There are not many fish farmers in the north of Datang, most of them are in the south. But the fish over there had to be transported here, and the cost was too great, so Li Hao tried to start raising fish in his own farm, so as to solve the needs of his restaurant.
What's more, you don't need carp for your own fish head hot pot, grass carp and bighead carp are fine. So there is no such thing as a taboo, but those who fish are different, and they are very likely to get the carp up.
In fact, if it is really allowed to eat carp, the Yellow River carp at this time is a very good fish. In later generations, the wild Yellow River carp was sold very expensive, and it was not used at this time, but no one dared to catch it.
It's not a big problem to catch and eat secretly and not be discovered, but once it is discovered, it will be troublesome. This is a royal taboo, and you have to be punished.
