I will return to Huai'an tomorrow, so Cai Xu proposed to take her to visit Dongzhou, a few markets, and a few flower-filled streets and alleys.

In Huai'an City, the street that has been repaired on the ground is just Xuefu Road, where the government is located, and Chunsen Road, where Jinmanlou and other taverns and restaurants gather, and the other streets are all flat muddy ground stepped out of "step by step".

Her foot hit the ground a few times.

Cai Xu asked her, "What?" ”

"Feel the wealth of Dongzhou."

"It's not Dongzhou who is rich." Cai Xu booed and said, "It's the Liu family." ”

"The Liu family?"

"Dongzhou Liu family, you still don't know?"

"I've heard a little, but it's too far away from me, too far away, too far away, and I haven't inquired much."

"You come with me, it's over there, there's a fenced place, it's the mansion of Liufu."

Cai Xu pointed to a corner, and when he looked out from there, there was a corner not far away—that was what Liufu was talking about.

Went a little further.

She noticed several places, all of them with halberd stands.

Behind them were soldiers in armor.

"Halberd?"

Cai Xu asked her not to stay, and said as she walked: "I don't know about halberd stands, that's a common thing, there are few people in the south of the Yangtze River, except in the barracks, like in the north, especially in Chang'an, every household used to have halberd stands, I'm talking about the princes and nobles and officials above the third grade in front of the house." ”

Earlier, on Chang'an Street, it was not the kind you watched in the TV series, the middle was the street, on one side was a shop or a common person's house, and on the other side was a certain prince's mansion or something.

The street is a loess street, on one side is a line of standardized green plants, not elm trees, or locust trees, behind the tree is a drainage ditch, which is not only ordinary domestic sewage, but also includes the sewer system, and on the other side, that is the prince's mansion.

Anyone who can open the door directly on the wall of the square is either rich or expensive.

There is a whole row of halberd racks at the door, which is the kind in the ancient war TV series, the wooden shelves with spikes placed at the entrance of the barracks, in addition, there are also shelves for weapons, halberds (ji three sounds) = Ge + spear.

On the side of the halberd, there was naturally a slave in armor.

“…… In addition, ordinary people can only open the door to the square. ”

"Where's the bazaar?"

"Where else could it be? East-West City. ”

Insert a sentence -

Shopping.

Shopping.

Shopping.

Any idea how it came about?

Huh! That's right! That's where it comes from - East Market, West Market, buying goods, that is, buying things.

As the country, yes, the largest bazaar in the country, no matter what you want to buy, there will be it in the east and west markets.

It is said that it takes a whole day to walk from the East Market to the West Market.

"Our municipal bureau is modeled after the municipal office of Chang'an."

After talking for a while, he walked from one corner of Liufu to another.

Unexpectedly.

Liufu is so big.

After a little more glance at the main entrance, I won't go into detail about how it is magnificent.

After walking through Liufu, Cai Xu talked about the "Liufu": "Have you heard of the marriage of the Yuan Niang of the Liu family?" ”

"Yuan Niang?"

"It's the lady of the Liu family who married Chang'an last year." 101 Chinese Net

"Like...... It seems that something happened to the Liu family? ”

"Liu Gong sent the girl to the north, taking the river, I never thought that the water bandits were so rampant, overnight, two or three hundred people, alas, Liu Gong was injured and fell into the water, and soon died."

"Have the bandits been exterminated?"

Cai Xu said "hehe" and continued: "The matter here is too complicated, I can't tell you clearly, but I'll tell you an interesting story." ”

"What?"

"Liu Nu is sixteen this year, and she was originally scheduled to marry that person this year." Cai Xuze's finger pointed to the sky, and then said: "I was frightened at that time, Mrs. Liu asked for a one-year postponement, and it was promised over there, but it will be this year in a blink of an eye?" And guess what? ”

"Is it possible...... Postponed again? ”

"Another two years. Wait for Liu Nu to be eighteen, and then go to Chang'an. ”

"Uh...... Is that okay? That one, it seems to be a few years older, right? ”

"Last year's trip to the north, the outside was on the side of the Liu family, and the other families couldn't wait to go later."

"It's only the groom's grievance."

Cai Xu looked at her and laughed: "You are too funny." ”

She didn't understand why Cai Xu said that, but she didn't want to know more, so she changed the topic and asked, "How is this year's spring?" ”

"This year is different from previous years. This year, Chang'an held a large-scale examination to provide students with free accommodation in March, and many children from poor families went to Chang'an to catch the exam. ”

"Three months?"

"There are gains and losses, compared to talents, those are just small money."

She hurriedly gave a thumbs up: "What Brother Cai said is unique. ”

"Hehe, where and where, I also listen to others. We went to Huai'an for dozens of candidates, of course, if you want to live for three months in vain, it is not easy, you have to get a letter of recommendation from Gu Gong, and you have to go to Zhuque Street for an assessment. Not to mention, there are seven or eight candidates who pass the assessment in one go, and ...... There is a candidate named Wang Zijing, who is even optimistic about Gu Gong. ”

"Wang Zijing, have you been hit?"

"I don't know where I know, I hope he can pass it smoothly."

In the blink of an eye, it was time for dinner.

I went to a more famous tavern, and I came to some delicious and delicious drinks.

After tasting it, she put down her chopsticks: "Poor children, you need to vigorously select and appoint more, otherwise you will ......"

"Gu Gong was poor in his early years, but fortunately he met a nobleman, so he had the opportunity to enter the official career, after coming to Huai'an, he also hoped to give more poor students some opportunities to build academies and encourage them to study."

"Huai'an's literary atmosphere is also stronger than other places."

"Yes, there is also Gu Gong's credit in this."

"But ......"

"But?" Cai Xu filled her with wine: "You and I are not outsiders, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly." ”

"Reading is hard. The poorer the children, the more they cannot afford to read. Breaking down the barriers of class levels and selecting people from nobles to poor students is already a major breakthrough, but this is not enough. ”

Cai Xu was stunned for a while before continuing to ask, "What do you think?" ”

"I'm a businessman, so I naturally look at the market, for example, in the cultural industry, from study utensils, paper, ink, pen and inkstone, to scroll books, there are too many contents in it."

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"One, paper, two, book."

briefly said some opinions, Cai Xu asked one after another, but she didn't say anything.

Instead, he asked another thing: "Brother Cai may give you some advice about the kiln?" ”

"Moss, you ask?"

"Exactly."

"Do you know Liu Wanjin? Moss is where Liu Wanjin started, and it is too difficult to go there to set up a kiln. Why do you have to set up a kiln, what do you need, it's not good to fire it directly there? ”

"It's not that I have to put it down, it's just very important, if I don't get someone else, I will secretly sell my good method, at that time, I called the sky should not be, and the earth is not spiritual."

"Hahaha? Where is it so serious. Cai Xu smiled, and suddenly said: "By the way, Gu Gong is in Moss Town and knows a lot of people." ”
