Out of the main hall, Bai Qi, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Su Mushi went to the palace to meet the eldest grandson queen, and Bai Qi was trampled by the eldest grandson with words and was powerless, and finally had to flee from the inside, seeing that Su Mushi was teasing the white chess.

Walk along the Jotenmon Gate to the Suzaku Gate, and after passing through the Suzaku Gate, you will see the wide Suzaku Street. The streets have been turned to concrete pavement, and the plums, elms, and other trees on both sides are growing luxuriantly, and the summer sun is dappled through the dense foliage on both sides of the street. From time to time, people went to the side of those small windows, chatted with the people inside, and then handed in a few copper coins, and a drink or a small bag of food wrapped in yellow paper stretched out from inside.

Wu Hou, who was patrolling the streets, also became accustomed to these things, and instead of stepping forward to stop them, a few Wu Hou, who were really thirsty or hungry, even stepped forward to buy a drink or a steaming bun, and then patrolled while eating.

Inside, the pagodas with their spires peeking out of the pagoda glowed golden in the sunlight, and it was the gold leaf embedded in them that glowed. Walking to the front of a fang, Bai Qi and Li Chengqian thought of a look, the two smiled and looked inside, only to see that there were still many people in the Buddhist temple inside to worship the Buddha devoutly, but there were no so many young monks in the temple, and the remaining monks did not have the usual scenery on their faces, but seemed to be covered with a layer of dark clouds.

"After the last incident, my father began to order a strict investigation of the number of monks in various temples in the Tang Dynasty, and all those who did not have the official government to distribute the degree plates were forcibly returned to the world. Soon after the order, the number of young workers in the national population increased by hundreds of thousands. Li Chengqian said beside him: "You were right before, there are indeed a lot of problems in Buddhism, and we urgently need to rectify them!" ”

"There is no need to be in a hurry, the food must be eaten one bite at a time, things must be done step by step, the number of monks must be controlled first, and then the land problem will be solved."

Li Chengqian nodded: "The number of land and population in various regions has begun to be counted near Chang'an, as well as the property of the temple, and the household department is calculating, but the numbers that have just begun to be calculated have already given the Fang Xiang a headache!" ”

Bai Qi raised his hand to stop what Li Chengqian was about to say, and directly ignored the other party's resentful eyes. You can still do things that offend one or two people, and offend most people - many of them are guys who can almost cover the sky with one hand, just leave this kind of thing to the Li family to do, they are the real Buddhas of the Tang Dynasty, and the little flesh on their small arms is not enough for others to stuff their teeth.

Pen shops, wine shops, iron shops, meat shops, engraving and printing shops, as well as donkey renters, huqin buyers, acrobats, pipa masters, and people with splendid goods and wealth, all gather in the East Market. The shops here are adjacent, the merchants gather, the line is a residence, and the carriages and wagons for transporting goods are endless. Outside the gate of the Gongqing's house on the east side of Suzaku Street, the high-spirited family members shouted loudly to the low-eyed and bent vendors who came to deliver the goods, and then watched them send today's food into the house one by one.

In the central area of the East Market, this is the place with the highest concentration of people, and the surrounding shops are basically the largest, and transactions take place here all the time. In the center of this area, there is a very special building, it is five stories high, covering an area more than twice the size of the shop next to it, "Tianzhi Pavilion" three golden characters written on the huge plaque hanging on the door of nearly three meters high, the sun shines, shining, reflecting people's eyes can not open.

Situ Hao was already waiting in front of the door, and when he saw the white chess pieces coming, he immediately greeted them.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, Princess Shuli and the Hou Ye, Ziping has been waiting for a long time!" Situ Hao smiled and saluted the four of them, and then stretched out his hand to invite the four of them to enter the Tianweaving Pavilion.

Passing through the hall full of fabrics, passing through a long corridor, Situ Hao led everyone to the front of a room, pushed open the door, inside was a set of exquisite sofas and chairs, on a low table made of stone, there was a set of antique tea sets, and in the small red clay stove next to it, a few pieces of red charcoal "crackled", and a few sparks popped out from time to time, and the stove on top of it continued to spew out water vapor.

Everyone sat down, Situ Hao carefully brewed tea for everyone next to him, took out a few pieces of tea from the tea tube with a bamboo tong, put them into the cup, and then poured boiling water, the tea leaves floated and sank in the clear water, and a fragrance suddenly lingered in everyone's nose.

"Ziping, your tea-making skills are getting better and better!" Bai Qi first praised Situ Hao, and then continued to ask, "Have you now given up your Situ family's business and are in charge of the management of the Inner Mansion and the Tianweaving Pavilion?" ”

Situ Hao nodded, handed tea to everyone present, and then sat down on the lower seat, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, thanks to the love of the princess and the two highnesses, Ziping is now fully responsible for the affairs of the Inner Mansion Industry and Tianzhi Pavilion!" ”

Bai Qi blew away the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip of tea slowly, then put the teacup down, and said to Situ Hao: "You take out the account books of these industries and show them to the two highnesses, by the way, in a few days, the imperial court will review our property, you can prepare the information in advance!" ”

Li Chengqian was looking at the thick ledgers carefully, and when he didn't understand, he asked Su Mushi, who was sitting leisurely next to him. Li Tai crossed Erlang's legs idly, looked around the layout of the room, and saw some crystal clear glass utensils on the shelves around him, so he thought it was very novel, so he ran over there and took them down and studied them slowly.

Seeing that Situ Hao was looking at him with some incomprehension, Bai Qi nodded in confirmation. If Li Shimin wants to put a rope around the neck of the merchant and change the method of taxation, then he will definitely first understand the situation of the merchants in Chang'an City, for example, the detailed data of those industries related to the inner government today are quite representative.

"Master Hou, every input and output in our accounts is clearly written, and there is no need to prepare any materials at all, just check it out from the household department!" Situ Hao patted his chest and shouted, shouting confidently.

Su Mushi, who was whispering to Li Chengqian about the specific situation of several numbers in the account book, raised her head, glared at Bai Qi, and was a little displeased: "These industries are all taken care of by me personally, what are you worried about!" ”

Bai Qi smiled slightly, did not speak, picked up the cup in front of him, leaned back on the soft sofa, closed his eyes and enjoyed the taste of the fragrance of tea lingering in his mouth. (To be continued.) )
