Chapter 5: The Leap of the Golden Mountain

With all kinds of doubts, Wu Yuanqing looked at this young city with a scrutinizing gaze that he had never seen before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This new city is very different from Chang'an and other cities in the Central Plains, and even every brick and tile reveals all kinds of differences, which is a city that is completely different from all the cities I have seen before.

This can be seen from the tallest building here. The tallest building here is a building, different from other places octagonal, eaves and arches of the building, this thing is a boxy tube building, the light reflected on the wall makes Wu Yuanqing a little afraid to look directly, because the wall of the building is pasted with a layer of tiles.

This is not the residence of the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson will not be able to live in such a house. It is a theater and a landmark of Jinshan City.

Thanks to the large-scale use of coal, this red brick and glazed tile has begun to spread, but it is definitely a new attempt to attach tiles to the wall.

For this alone, Changsun Tang understood the difference between Jinshan and Chang'an City.

As the imperial capital and a fortified city to resist the attacks of nomads, Chang'an must be rigid and rigorous, so rigorous that the street drum will be beaten by mistake, and the tallest building in the city is unsurprisingly the palace where the emperor lives, which is the most basic principle.

And when it comes to Jinshan, it is different, the style revealed by Jinshan is the same as that of Changsun Tang, and there is some looseness - this can be seen from the twists and turns of the road; There are also some surprises - like the tiled theater; There are also some surprises.

A city is actually very similar to a person, which can only show that Changsun Tang has a great influence in this city, basically as long as Changsun Tang does not rebel, the city belongs to him, even if the court appoints another official.

After two years of large-scale construction, Jinshan is still a huge construction site. Thanks to the high profits brought by the spice trade, it can be said that the last thing Changsun Tang lacks now is money. The trade with Datang will more or less converge by one or two, the price is slightly lower, and the tax is more; But I don't have to worry about it with the big cannibals, it's all a matter of paying money with one hand and delivering it with the other.

Therefore, as long as the high-end building materials that can be seen in the Tang Dynasty, they are all transported to Dadao and Jinshan. Although Changsun Tang did not study economics, at least he knew that the liquid money was money.

That's why the characteristics of this place have come together here. Wu Yuanqing was even surprised to find that a section of the main street actually erected a high pole, and a huge horse lantern was hung on the pole. Don't think about it, this must be a street lamp. I saw it in the house of the eldest grandson last year. I just don't know what the fuel is for this night.

Jinshan is a port city by the mountains and the sea, and this road is naturally bent with the bend, which was criticized by Wu Yuanqing and not atmospheric enough. But even so, Wu Yuanqing has to admit that the road in Jinshan is easier to walk than in Chang'an, and the isolation belt is designed on both sides of the cement road and planted with flowers and plants.

All of this made Wu Yuanqing feel that he had not been away for a year, but that he had never been here at all.

A nearby shop has opened, which is a street-facing shop. Unlike Chang'an, all transactions are limited to the east and west cities, as long as you think it is appropriate, you can trade anywhere, provided that you pay taxes in full, but the taxes here are limited to a few needs such as spices, and other tax rates are all set at zero.

It was a fruit shop, apparently owned by a family member who worked here, and the proprietress looked like a tall girl from the north.

Fruit has always been a luxury in ancient times, and it takes a lot of money to be able to sell fruit, but it is not a problem here, and fruits are available all year round.

The yellow is the banana, when I went back last year, the gift of the eldest grandson to the emperor was that, the green banana was covered in a thick oilcloth, and I went all the way to Chang'an on the Guangzhou horse, and it was not broken.

That huge guy is a durian, and it's the eldest grandson's favorite thing. But Wu Yuanqing really can't stand this smell, once the eldest grandson starts to eat, Wu Yuanqing will definitely run away.

But today, Wu Yuanqing seemed to try.

"Boss, bring me a durian, how do you sell it?" Wu Yuanqing asked.

"That's what you're talking about? Twenty cents a piece. The proprietress pointed to the durian that was bigger than a cow's head. This accent is really from the land of Yan Zhao.

"Is it so expensive?" Wu Yuanqing asked, thanks to the subsidy of Changsun Tang, the price of grain here is slightly lower than that of Chang'an, and 20 yuan can basically buy about 20 catties of rice.

"Big brother, I heard that your accent is from Chang'an, right? As long as you are willing to work hard, it is not a problem to earn 200 wen a day, there is work everywhere, and this durian is enough for a family to eat for several days. And it's picked from the forest in the south, so the cost of coming and going is not low. "There is no Chang'an businessman's posture of watching people eat.

"Then bring me one and I'll try it, but why does this one stink? Is it broken? Wu Yuanqing planned to test it again.

"Oh, this big brother can't talk nonsense, this durian smells bad and tastes good." These words are very familiar, and they are obviously spread from the eldest grandson.

"Then you peel it off for me and show me." Wu Yuanqing had seen the eldest grandson eat this.

"Yo, today's old lady is out of sight, I didn't expect the son to be an expert." The proprietress smiled, but didn't say much. It's just a huge durian, but there is really not much flesh in it......

Wu Yuanqing came out of this shop, but when it was time for dinner, this huge carriage shuttled through every part of this small city. The carriage of each carriage is painted with a large white letter, this one "3". Wu Yuanqing didn't know what was going on.

But along the way, the surprises brought to him by this strange and familiar city reveal the thriving side of the city, which is a vibrant city. This is the conclusion given by Wu Yuanqing.

Now Wu Yuanqing is anxious to find Changsun Tang, and he wants to understand all aspects of the city from the absolute perspective of the top. For so many years, Wu Yuanqing has long been accustomed to the habit of investigating first and then speaking.

It seems that Changsun Tang has not only affected the city, but also everyone in the city, including Wu Yuanqing, of course. (To be continued.) )
