Chapter 119 Royal Street Tour Ask for collections, ask for recommendations

Speaking of the most densely populated city in this era, there is no one more than the Great Song Dynasty in Lin'an. In a city that is not very spacious, the household registration in Qiantang and Renhe counties (within the city walls) alone is close to 200,000! According to the calculation of 5 people in a household, it is a full 1 million people, and if you consider the large number of floating people who are not registered, the whole city is about 1.4 million people. At this time, Europe is almost a country that is not too small.

With so many people gathered in one place, this Lin'an City is naturally where every inch of land is valuable. And the people at the foot of the Great Song Dynasty were also fortunate to be bathed in the sunshine of high land prices hundreds of years in advance! And the high land price in Lin'an has made high-rise buildings rise from the ground.

Lin'an turned out to be a metropolis with many high-rise buildings! The two sides of the most prosperous and certainly the most expensive land in Lin'an are all "high-rise buildings" next to each other.

“…… If a wooden house can be built as high, isn't it afraid of collapsing? "It's not the first time Chen Dexing has come to Yujie, but the last two times he came were in a hurry, and he didn't have time to appreciate the prosperity and wealth of Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty. As for the early ...... It belongs to another soul.

"How could it collapse?" The little princess raised her neck, looked at the tall Chen Dexing, and said with a grin, "It's easy to walk the water, fortunately, the rivers in Lin'an City are all over the place, and it is easy to save even if you go out of the water, but in the early years, there were still several fires that burned a lot of people." ”

"Oh, I know that." Chen Dexing nodded, he had the Lin'an fire in his memory, and his household registration also fell in Lin'an Mansion in this life. Knowing that fires often occur in Lin'an, in order to prevent fires, there is even a professional fire brigade called the Hidden Fire Division.

In addition, more than a million people gather in a large city, and the amount of waste water and household waste generated every day is also astronomical! Walking on Lin'an Royal Street, you can't smell the stench, and you can't see the accumulated sewage. The city, like most large and medium-sized cities in the Southern Song Dynasty at this time, had a well-developed drainage system and special personnel to dispose of garbage.

In addition to fire prevention, sewage and garbage disposal, there are many more important things about a city of one million people. For example, what more than a million people depend on to feed and the source of the city's daily necessities......

Unlike Beijing, the capital of the later Manchu Empire, with a population of only 780,000 (Beijing's population only began to grow greatly in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China), Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty was not a simple consumer city, but a commercial city that developed by relying on handicrafts and commerce!

Most of the more than one million citizens are producers, and the city's handicraft industry is quite developed, and the government-run handicraft workshops are mostly concentrated in the Wulinfang and Zhaoxianfang areas in the north of the city. The official kiln of porcelain is under the Phoenix Mountain in the south of the city, called the inner kiln. Private handicrafts spread throughout the city, the largest of which were silk spinning and printing. At this time, Lin'an silk was the world's most high-end textile, and it was sold to the entire civilized world through the Southern Song Dynasty and the Great Food Maritime Merchants - unlike the maritime trade model of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the later generations, the maritime trade of the Southern Song Dynasty was not to wait for foreign merchants to come to the door, but to take the initiative to build ships and go to sea! The merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty were all over the South Seas and Japan at this time.

The four major metropolises of the Southern Song Dynasty, such as Lin'an, Mingzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou, are also international ports where merchants from all over the world gather. On the Royal Street of Lin'an, there are not only yellow-faced, black-haired Orientals, but also many white-skinned and blonde merchants, and even some graceful, gorgeous, blond-haired, and exotic orchids soliciting customers in front of the luxuriously decorated restaurants.

"What? Is this orchid beautiful? found that his sweetheart was staring at a curvaceous bearded girl, and the little princess of Shengguo pursed her mouth slightly, revealing an angry expression, but she was cute again, so that Chen Dexing couldn't help but want to tease this little girl again.

It's not that Chen Dexing hasn't seen a woman wearing men's clothes, and he walked around half of the royal street with the little princess, and he couldn't see that she was a little girl, so he was really a nerd.

"Jia Geer, life is a lifetime, but in just ten spring and autumn, you can't just serve the country and the people, you can't let go of the happiness you should enjoy. The taste of this orchid...... You'll know it's ecstasy after you've used it. It's better to be a foolish brother, please go to the best Qinglou in Lin'an, where the orchids are as enthusiastic as fire and graceful as a demon! ”

As soon as she heard that Chen Dexing was going to take her own kiln, the little princess was startled like a rabbit with an arrow, clenched her little pink fist tightly, looked at Chen Dexing nervously, and suddenly mustered up her courage and stammered: "You...... You're really, aren't you? ”

"Huh?"

Chen Dexing really didn't expect this little girl to throw such a question, which made him a little unable to react - is he? It doesn't seem to be very sexy, although there is a little demon girl in the bubble, there is a little Lori at home, and there is a pretty girl who looks pleasing to the eye, and now she is traveling in Lin'an with a little beauty.

But it is undeniable that it has been three or four months since his soul was possessed, and this is not bad, and the golden body has not been broken!

The little princess lowered her head with a swollen face, and said with a smile: "I know that men are like this, the more capable men are, the more lustful they are, I, I am ...... Allow you to be, it really doesn't matter, you are and I like ...... too"

After the little princess finished speaking, she didn't dare to look up at Chen Dexing, but just looked at the bluestone slab under her feet.

"Uh......"

It's really gentle and skillful, this is probably the superiority of the feudal marriage system, right? I don't know if there are many feudal thoughts in the mind of Li Cuixian's little demon girl?

The little princess lowered her head, looked at the ground nervously for a long time, and couldn't hear any movement, so she quietly raised her eyes, and her eyes just touched Chen Dexing, which made her heart jump again. "Chen Lang, I have something to give you."

And gifts? Chen Dexing now believes that he is really a woman in this life...... In his previous life, he spent money to buy gifts for girls and was often dumped by girls. And in this life, it seems that all the girls are sticking upside down.

"Here's for you." The little princess took out something wrapped in embroidered ropa from her arms and handed it to Chen Dexing with her own hands.

"This is ......," Chen Dexing took and looked, and Luo Pa was wrapped in two white crystals with excellent transparency - if not glass sheets.

"This is a crystal?"

"Well, I'll make you a telescope." The little princess whispered. "Is that enough? Not enough for me to have at home. ”

"Enough, enough!" Chen Dexing's face also flashed with a hint of surprise, the crystal is not a rare treasure, but the white crystal with high clarity and transparency is not easy to obtain, and it is not a question of whether there is money or not...... This kind of natural thing, no stock is no stock. He had already asked Guo Fu'er to think of a way, but the crystals Guo Fu'er got were always very blurry, and if they were made into a telescope, they would definitely be blurry and not be able to see clearly.

"It's good to be enough, by the way, the best water mirror master in Lin'an (a craftsman who makes glasses) is called Shui Jingqu, and he opened a shop on the side of the shed bridge, and I will take you there tomorrow."

As she spoke, the little princess made a gesture to her deaf and dumb attendant, and then turned around and left with a shy face, and without taking a few steps, she heard Chen Dexing shouting behind her back.

"Little lady, can you tell Fang's name?"

The little princess was stunned, nodded and said, "Zhao Lin'er, my name is Zhao Lin'er." ”
