The prosperity of Chaisang was beyond the expectations of Zhuge and his son, and there were teahouses, restaurants, Yahang inns, workshops, brothels, and merchants. The market is crowded with people, and it is rare to see such a dense population in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhuge and his son wandered above the market under the protection of the soldiers. There is a lot of people coming and going. There are many hawkers on both sides of the street. Hawkers in this era were unmanaged, and even if they put their stalls on the streets, most of the time they were morally condemned at best. Coupled with the dense population, the streets of Chaisan are a bit chaotic and crowded overall.

Zhuge father and son really couldn't stand this crowded and noisy environment. I found a large liquor store on the edge of the market and sat down. The soldiers who came out with Zhuge father and son were actually four people. Father Zhuge opened a table for them. The restaurant is divided into two floors, and the entire house is made of wood. There were not many houses of earth and stone in this era, because the forest cover in ancient times was much higher than now. Out of the outskirts of the city, there is an endless forest. Farmland only surrounds the city and occupies a small area. Most of the other places are no-man's land, where tigers and leopards are rampant. According to the records of the Three Kingdoms, when the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Wu, the actual population of the Eastern Wu recorded in the household registration atlas handed in by the Eastern Wu was only about 2.3 million. It is important to know that the territory of Dongwu is north to the Yangtze River, south to Taiwan, east to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and west to Liangchuan. It is unthinkable that there are only 2.3 million people in such a vast territory. The barren mountains, dense forests, and uninhabited areas within his territory can be imagined.

At this time, it was extremely convenient to obtain timber in Jiangnan, and the price of timber was extremely low. Scarcity is expensive, and if there are more things, the price will be cheap, in fact, this is also very normal! Therefore, before the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of the houses in the south of the Yangtze River were wooden structures, and the earth and stone structures were very rare. Of course, there is an exception for important defensive structures with special requirements, such as city walls. Most of the wood-and-stone gardens in Suzhou that we see now are built after the Song and Yuan dynasties.

Downstairs is the lobby, which is for general guests. Most of the private rooms on the second floor are partitioned, and the price is more expensive, so it is for people with status. These ** don't care about spending more money, they prefer this relatively elegant environment and spend money to enjoy it. Daddy Zhuge is such a person. Before Daddy Zhuge went to Jiangdong, Liu Bei prepared a very generous amount of travel expenses for Daddy Zhuge . Don't look at Liu Bei since his debut, wandering around. But as a prince of one side, the leader of tens of thousands of people, this guy is rich! What's more, Daddy Zhuge went to Jiangdong on business this time, and there was no reason for Daddy Zhuge to pay out of his own pocket. If Liu Bei was so picky, it is estimated that no one would have followed him a long time ago! Liu Bei's ancestor, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's greatest successful experience was not actually "the world of those who win the hearts of the people", but to learn to share the benefits equally with his subordinates. For example, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were fighting for the world, whenever he captured a piece of territory, he had to open the treasury, take out the money, and distribute it to the meritorious soldiers. If you get a city, you must also take it out and give it to some of your subordinates as fiefs. Therefore, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the territory actually controlled by the central government accounted for only one-third of the entire territory of the Han Dynasty. The others were all taken out by Liu Bang, a loser, and distributed to his subordinates and nephews. So, stingy people can't do big things. Learn to share the benefits with others! Those who try to monopolize everything will inevitably end up with nothing.

Father Zhuge who has a lot of money and is quite petty bourgeoisie has no reason to crowd the lobby with the poor men downstairs. took Young Master Zhuge and the soldiers directly to the second floor. The second floor is divided into a number of enclosed cubicles. Use the bead curtain as a door to block the view from the outside. Zhuge father and son entered a private room called "Qiuyue Pavilion". In the "Dongmei Pavilion" on the edge of the entrance of the building, a separate room was opened for the four soldier brothers. "Dongmei Pavilion" is some distance from Qiuyue Pavilion. The reason for this arrangement is mainly because the rooms in this era are separated by thick wooden boards, and the sound insulation effect is too poor. If Zhuge and his son want to talk about some confidential things after a while, it will be difficult to do the confidentiality work.

The furnishings in the Autumn Moon Pavilion are quite elegant. The Han Dynasty did not have such tall furniture as chairs and tables. It was transmitted from India during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Therefore, the furnishings here are quite similar to the current Japanese home. But there's nothing surprising about that! Those grandsons began to study China in the Han Dynasty for thousands of years, and the so-called "Japanese culture" is actually the abnormal development of Han culture in the Japanese slave country.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor in Nanjing, and the envoys of the Japanese slave state came to the Celestial Dynasty to meet him. Zhu Hongwu asked them, what is the customs of your country? These grandsons didn't know what to say, "The country is better than the Central Plains, and the people are the same as the ancients." The well-dressed Tang system, the courtesy of the Han monarchs. The silver urn stores new wine, and the golden knife is full of brocade scales. In February and March every year, peach and plum are generally spring. "Make Zhu Yuanzhang angry, you are too arrogant. Isn't this contempt for me, and the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty is not as pure as your group of dwarf winter melons? Directly beat the messy stick out.

But in fact, the Japanese envoy was not wrong in answering. It is true that many Japanese customs and etiquette have preserved the customs of ancient China. This is indeed worthy of reflection and introspection by those of us who are descendants of Chinese orthodoxy today, when our national culture is losing day by day.

After coming to the Three Kingdoms for so long, Young Master Zhuge has long been accustomed to the lifestyle of eating on his knees. Father and son sit opposite each other, and the waitress of the wine shop waits upstairs with the wine, which is a special service for this high-end wine store to attract customers. But they are only responsible for pouring wine and singing. The rest of the work will not cooperate! Father Zhuge waved his hand and motioned for her to go down. The maid was very deferential, without the slightest intention of disobedience, and bowed her waist and slowly retreated.

Young Master Zhuge was already hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of meat that had been cut into shreds and put it in his mouth and chewed it, it was chicken. When Young Master Zhuge came to ancient times, the most he ate was chicken. In this era, beef was forbidden to protect farming cattle. All cattle are registered with the government. If you slaughter without permission, you will be sentenced, and it will be very severe. Therefore, you basically can't see beef in the market. Mutton and pork were not mastered by the breeders because of some special skills, and the mutton and pork of this era always had a foul or unpleasant smell. Not liked by the people of this era. Therefore, pork and lamb on the table are also very rare. That's why chicken and duck meat are all the rage. But this is Gangnam, and since it is Gangnam, fish and meat are naturally indispensable. For example, the plate of fish in front of Young Master Zhuge is really good in cooking. Young Master Zhuge sighed while eating.

"Daddy! This Chaisang City is very prosperous! Young Master Zhuge pushed open the window, and it happened to be a street market outside.

"Yes! It's rare to see such a bustling and lively place these days! ”
