Chapter 79: Xinjiang South City

Zhao Wuxian was puzzled by the change in the attitudes of Wei and Zhang, but when he saw that Le Fuli in black and brocade clothes was left alone, he volunteered: "Zhao Zi is going to Nanshi, and Fuli can lead the way." ”

He looked at Zhao Wuxian's eyes, but there was a kind of excitement that "Jun is a person in my generation".

Zhao Wuxian swallowed his doubts back into his stomach, thinking that before the sun set, he hurried to the city to do business, so he said: "Then there will be a lot of work." ”

Le Fuli's car driving and shirtless parallel, he is very good at talking, and he comes to the old and the new things that have happened recently, and Zhao Guangde, who likes vocal music and food, coincides with Zhao Guangde, who likes vocal music and food, and the two met late, and it was not boring along the way.

After entering the city, I traveled along the north-south avenue for nearly a moment and arrived at the south of Xinjiang. Craftsmen camp country, Miyagi is in the middle of the north, according to the planning of the front and back city, the market is generally set in the south, so I don't think that it should be called the south city, and it is called so by the people of Chengxiang.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the basic structure of the city was a tightly closed block model. The residential area is a square and the commercial area is a city, which is strictly separated and enclosed by walls. This is the traditional market system, which will not be broken until the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The city, which has existed since ancient times, is born along with the demand of the commodity economy, and there is a record in the "Yi Zhi Ci" that Zhao Wuxian read some time ago, "Japan and China are the city, to the people of the world, gather the goods of the world, trade and retreat, and each has its own place".

There is also a city in Chengyi Township, just like the "rush to market" in the countryside in later generations, on a specific day, such as every three and every Saturday, the people of the country and the wild people agree to make a custom, spontaneously gather, buy and sell goods in a fixed place, and communicate with each other. After the slaughter, with his support, Chengyi Township became more and more lively, but the population base was there, and it still couldn't catch up with the prosperity of his three elder brothers.

The lower palace has a city of Yi, which is larger, but it is only small compared to the big city of Xinjiang.

"The market is full of days, and the evening is empty", the market is open during the day, closed at dusk, it is almost evening, there is still an hour before the end of the market trading, but the Xinjiang market is still lively.

Zhao Wuxian looked around, and saw that the place was huge, with walls, shops, warehouses, and special institutions and people to manage it.

The stalls are all small businesses, and the goods on them are very complete; Most of the shops were officials and merchants who ate in the government, and merchants in Zheng Wei and other places needed to rent a place to trade. From time to time, there are black-clad city officials with soldiers who carry Ge, walking in the city to inspect and collect taxes, and everything is in order.

There is an endless stream of people who come to buy things, not only Xinjiang people, but also people from other cities, counties and even abroad. The whole market is full of shouting and shouting, people come and go, and the market road is blocked from time to time. I want to come to the most lively morning and noon, when it is comparable to the "car hub hitting, people rubbing shoulders, even the curtains, lifting the curtain, sweating into the rain" of Linzi.

After entering the city, Le Fuli's car did not stop, but kept driving south, at this time the city was full of people, and he couldn't shout at him, and Zhao Wuxian's car and horse could only follow closely.

The whole market is divided into two halves by the shallow Hun River, and after crossing the stone bridge, the crowded and noisy river bank of the river is suddenly cut off, and the state of the south bank of the river becomes quiet and extravagant.

Ever since he crossed the bridge, Zhao Wuxian felt a little weird, and when he looked at the scene in front of him, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

There are five families in the city as a ratio, five ratios as Lu, five Lu as the inside, and in front of you are one after another low Lu. From time to time, there are all kinds of costumes, smiling men come and go, and the subordinates in soapy clothes stay at the Lumen to receive and collect coins and silks.

And in one of the doorways, shirtless saw a woman with half-exposed white shoulders looking out. After seeing Qingzi's spectacle driving, her eyes lit up, and she shouted in a voice like a yellow warbler, hulala, and a group of women with heavy makeup wearing popular two-color skirts ran out of the Lu to watch.

Le Fuli and those women laughed loudly, and asked the emperor to park the car under a luxuriously decorated heavy building with ease, and proudly compared here: "Zhao Zi, it's already here, let's go in quickly, this is the best one, let Fu Li be the east today, and entertain Zhao Zi." ”

Zhao Wuxian was dumbfounded, he pointed around and asked, "This is Nanshi?" ”

"Yes, yes." Le Fuli pointed to the market that was split in half by the Huhe River and said: "Xinjiang has a total of seven cities, all sides are 100 steps, six cities are in the north of the Hun River, so it is called the North City, and one city is in the south of the Huhe River, so it is called the South City." The north city is densely covered with all kinds of handicraft workshops, and it is a place where businessmen gather, as for this south market, hehe, also known as the women's market, women's Lu (lv). ”

Le Fuli has a "you know" look.

Zhao Wuxian immediately understood that the female lu, that is, the hall where ** lived, was the brothel of later generations.

The prostitutes who were raised in private homes have existed in ancient times, but it is Guan Zhong, the chief minister of the Duke of Qi Huan, who industrializes this industry, as the so-called "seven cities in the palace of the Duke of Qi Huan, there are seven hundred women".

Guan Zhong's original intention was because Qi was "vulgar and lewd, so the women's market collected men's money to become officials", one was to meet the physiological needs of young men in the country, and the other was to increase urban tax revenue through the government-run women. Although Guan Zhong's practice was criticized by later generations of Taoists, at that time, it was generally welcomed by Qi local scholars and Chinese men, and was soon imitated by other countries.

Zhao Wuxian was wronged in his heart, no wonder Wei Ju and Zhang Mengtan's attitude towards him had obviously changed. It turned out that they thought that Zhao Wuxian had just left the Pan Palace on the first day of entering Xinjiang, so he wanted to come to this "South Market" to try it.

Although Le Fuli is only sixteen or seventeen years old, he can see that he is already a veteran here, a frequent visitor to Nulu, and he is still gushing about which Nulu's sister is the most tender and beautiful.

"There are good and happy women of Zheng and Wei here, who can play the beautiful sound of Pu Shang, Qi Nu is good at singing, Chu Nu is slender and colorful, Qin Nu also has a unique taste, and even tall Xianyu Di Nu is supplied, in short, each has its own wonders."

Zhao Guangde, who was traveling with him, was full of interest, and even Tian Ben, who was following the car, probed his head and wanted to go in and have a look.

Zhao Wuxian waved his wide sleeves solemnly, drove away the women and soap Li who wanted to come up to greet him, turned his head and said: "It's also a mistake without shirts, and I have disturbed the interest of the fun, I'm afraid I can't go in today, Wang Sun, turn the head of the car, we are in the wrong place." ”

How many important things do he have to do, so he doesn't have time to come to this ancient red-light district to wander around, and even if he really has that kind of need, he still has a plain beauty in the house, why bother to go far?

After crossing the bridge, after Wuxian's explanation, Le Fuli knew that there was a misunderstanding, and he was reluctant to give up on the women on the south bank of the river, but he also continued to perform his duties as a guide, taking Zhao Wuxian to the place he really wanted to go.

"Xinjiang North City, a total of three parts, including Su City, Niu Ma City, Lacquer Pottery City, People City, Cloth City, and Miscellaneous City, which place does Zhao Zi want to go?" He was also curious, Zhao Wuxian, as a son, since he didn't come to Nulu to have fun, why did he come?

"Time is limited, in half an hour, the market will be closed, let's go to the lacquer pottery market today." Zhao Wuxian had made plans before he came, but he didn't expect such a small episode.

"Lacquer Pottery City?"

Le Fuli's curiosity was aroused, and he let the emperor drive to lead the way.
