Chang'an City after New Year's Day, in the snow, is very lively. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info After a year of hard work, I finally got a good harvest, even if it wasn't a farming family, I was infected by the joy of this Ruixue Mega Year.

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks rise into the sky every night. Hook the fence tiles, all kinds of plays are staged. The restaurant teahouse is a celebratory scene.

Chang'an is prosperous, ten miles long street, fire trees and silver flowers, Xingqiao iron locks, BMW incense cars, and flower markets are like day. Lu Chengqi also made an appearance and enjoyed with the people.

After the Yuan Xi Festival, the center of the imperial court began to operate, and this almost crazy excitement gradually calmed down. But the prosperity of Chang'an has been carved into the bone marrow, hidden in the bazaar, how can it be dissipated by the passing of the solar terms? On weekdays, every five watches, there will be watchmen outside the door, knocking on iron cards, and calling the people of Chang'an from door to door. After getting up early, the people of Chang'an will go to the early shop to buy porridge, or fill the lungs and fry the lungs. Even the noodle soup (face wash) is sold at this breakfast shop.

Stalls of sencha soup and decoction also appeared. Then there are slaughterhouses, where the cattle are slaughtered on the street and sold wholesale. Fruit and flour are still in bundles and bags at this time. They are bought as ingredients and served as a delicacy at lunch and dinner tables. The last supper on the stage is also made of these raw materials.

If you have time, you can also go to the "perfume shop" early in the morning and bathe there. Of course, more people will choose to go to a teahouse or restaurant, order a pot of tea and a pot of wine, and start chatting about the world and discussing current affairs. This is also a change that only took place after Lu Chengqi took power. In the past, if you dared to discuss the government and politics, you would definitely be dragged to the yamen, no matter whether it was right or wrong, I would beat you ten boards first.

Of course, few people will choose to go to the restaurant in the morning, usually in the afternoon, the number of drinkers in the restaurant gradually increases. Among the drinkers, there are also those who go back to drink and drink themselves, but more often call a few friends and go into the restaurant for a drink. After all, if you only drink alcohol and eat some side dishes, the cost is not very large. Some merchants, even brokers, tooth men, and even hired workers, can afford to consume. This is also the reason why Chang'an City Restaurant Teahouse is so popular, the cost is not large, but you can enjoy the most "top" service.

There is a flying bridge railing, light and shade are connected, and the bead curtain is embroidered in the Fan Building, some regular customers slowly walked in, and the shopkeeper greeted him warmly, and the bartender, Xiao Er, and the hot woman (the woman who scalded the wine) all used their means to win over customers. After summoning the food and drinks, they began to talk.

"Have you heard, at this year's court meeting, the saint was angry on the spot."

"Hey, it's all over the city, how can I not know?"

"What's going on?"

"That small country in Jiaozhi, neglecting the saint, bluntly said that we are not good, and he was so angry that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty criticized him and almost didn't lift the Jinluan Palace. The Holy Lord asked the imperial guards to drive the Jiaozhi envoys out of the palace, and they were not even allowed to live in the post house......"

"That's a bit excessive, isn't it?"

"Where is it excessive, don't you know how arrogant the Jiaozhi envoy is, and really deceive me Dashun and no one? also threatened to hit Chang'an, the saint's blood is strong, where can he bear it? didn't take him down, and it was considered a favor to cut him directly. This kind of villainous country is really unbelievably thick! ”

"Is that so?"

"Hehe, you shouldn't be busy and dizzy, haven't you heard of this?"

"Haha, who's to say it's not? As you know, during the Chinese New Year, firecrackers and fireworks are the best to sell, and I look at the shop every day, all night long, and I dare not close the door. More than 20 days have passed, and I can't even read the newspaper, do you say you're busy? ”

"Also, it's time to punish you with a glass and make as much money as you can."

After the three of them clinked glasses, a middle-aged businessman smiled and said: "The envoy of the Jiaozhi State made a fool of himself, and the envoy of the Zhu Kingdom was not much better that day......"

"What's going on?"

"Hey, he actually asked the saint at the court meeting, why is there no one in Chang'an City?"

"Hahahaha......"

"These barbarians, are we really a small country in the Central Plains, and there are thatched houses everywhere?"

And they have a good reason to say this. Public toilets are widely built in Chang'an, and the government attaches great importance to the proper disposal of municipal waste and feces. Every year in the Spring Festival, the government sends people to dredge ditches from house to house, and there are boats to transport the mud from the roads to the countryside. Every day, people clean up the garbage on the streets, and the residents are paid a certain amount. Some peasant households, after the autumn harvest is busy, cannot be idle, so they naturally go to the city to work. This dredges the ditches, but they can add fertilizer to the fields, and they don't have to pay for it, they just need to make some effort, and they are happy to do it. The people of Jingzhao Mansion can exchange some money and silver for a comfortable environment, why not?

Besides, there is a night fragrance lang in every city, and this public toilet is also to pour night incense, where is it like other countries, there is a peculiar smell everywhere, and I want to be disgusted?

After they told some interesting stories about the court meeting, one of them said worriedly: "The new policy of the Holy Lord, let my tenants go to seven or eight out of ten, and the hundred acres of land in my family are about to be abandoned." The land price is low today, do you think you should sell it? ”

The other two were silent, picked up their wine glasses, took a sip of wine absentmindedly, and then said tentatively: "What is the price of this field?" ”

"Alas, it is getting lower and lower, and now it is thirty guan and one acre, this is still a fertile field, if it is a thin field, it will be ten times less...... Sell it, it's too much of a loss, and you can't even keep it; If you don't sell it, the court will have to tax it again. There is no grain in this field, and you still have to pay a 10% tax, which is a 'vacant field tax', which is not fatal! ”

"Shhh...... How so? ”

"Alas, although Jingzhao Mansion is good, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is free, and those tenants, who have no land and no land, and are short-term rentals, how can they stay with you? The Qi family brought the mouth, and they all went to the south of the Yangtze River. They also asked someone to bring words, saying that Jiangnan is really a paradise, isn't this demagogic? ”

"Shhh You don't want to die, although the Holy One is not limited to discussing the government, but if you slander the New Deal like this, and those who have ears through the wall, if it reaches the Supervision Department and then reaches the ears of the Holy God, how can this be good? ”

"Well, I'm not bothered!"

"If you want me to say, your family's land is not far from Chang'an, why don't you open your own workshop?"

"Yes, now that business is becoming a trend, even if you are in any industry, you can also make a lot of money. I have a distant relative who opened a kiln to burn porcelain in Quanzhou, and he can get 500,000 yuan a year. If you buy another sail and sell it to big food, it's even more unbelievable. It's a pity that I waited in Chang'an, even if I burned porcelain, I couldn't make much money. ”

"Eh, some time ago, didn't the imperial court publish in the "Dashun Minbao" how to grow cotton, this cotton does not need many people to take care of it, as long as there are more people at the time of harvest. Moreover, if you go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, you can get seeds for free, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry will also come to teach you how to plant ......."

"What is this cotton?"

"It is rumored that this year's palace is also wearing clothes made of cotton. Do you think, it's been so cold in winter all these years, if cotton is grown and made into cotton clothes, how good should it be? Not only can you grow cotton, but you can also make clothes into a workshop......"

The man was moved by what he said, and he pondered for a while before he said slowly: "In that case, after you are full of wine and food, go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to have a look......" (To be continued.) )
