Chapter 374: Tokyo is expensive
After a few days of turbulence, on this day, they passed through a big river, mighty and muddy, and it was the Yellow River that "jumped into the Yellow River and could not be washed". Yunxi cheered, thinking that it was coming soon, the Yellow River flows through Zhengzhou Kaifeng, and it has reached the Yellow River, will Kaifeng be far away?
In fact, it is indeed not far away, but at this time the Yellow River does not flow through Kaifeng, but there is still a little wrong distance, the distance is about more than 100 kilometers, Yunxi They crossed the Yellow River, and ran for three hours to see Kaifeng City.
Yunxi is not too surprised, the course of the Yellow River in history, especially in the Song Dynasty, the number of changes and rerouting is particularly large, this year is here, next year when the flood comes, maybe it will not be this. However, history belongs to history, and history is also written by people, Yunxi saw that the embankment of the Yellow River has been reinforced with cement, and there are shelter forests along the riverbank, and it is estimated that it is not so easy to break the embankment.
I just don't know which crossing emperor has strengthened the vegetation construction of the Loess Plateau, Yunxi should be, but it is a crossing person, how to do it without a little advanced consciousness.
Kaifeng is flat and mountainless, and there is no danger to defend, which is not very ideal as the capital, because it is not easy to garrison heavy troops. But it also has its advantages, that is, it has the convenience of Cao Yun, because Guanzhong, Henan, Hebei region after war, economic recession, and the southeast region of the economy continues to develop, the country's economic center of gravity gradually moved south, a large number of Cao Yun goods transport Kaifeng easy, Luoyang, Chang'an difficult. Therefore, it can only be opened in Luoyang.
"Oh my God!" The probe looked out with round eyes, mouth wide open, unable to close for a long time.
Already there? Yunxi also poked his head out and looked forward, sure enough, Kaifeng City had arrived, and the city wall was high enough! Rao is Yunxi boasted that he had seen the world, and he was also shocked. Xu is because there is no danger to defend, and the city wall of Kaifeng seems to be built a little higher and thicker.
The closer you get to the city gate, the slower the speed of the carriage, and in the end it is almost the same as moving, no way, even in ancient times, when there were many people, it was inevitable that there would be such a phenomenon as traffic jams.
In this way, sitting in the carriage seemed extremely boring, and after enduring a few endurances, Yunxi finally couldn't help it, jumped out of the carriage, and walked with Ye Yuan. Yun Jin was a step late, and was stopped by the Lin family, so angry that she only bared her teeth towards Yunxi.
Yunxi estimated that the city wall must be at least five zhang high, and when she passed from the bottom of the city, she took a big step and counted, and it took 52 steps to walk through the city gate, and it should be 25 meters if you don't count the error. Judging from the slope of the city walls, it is not a problem to run four carriages for the width of the top of the city.
If you want to enter the city gate, you need to go through the moat suspension bridge, pass through the gate tower, arrow tower, urn city, and put it into the official city tower gate. Needless to say, it is heavily guarded, and you have to go through the security check when you enter the city, thanks to the general's blessing, Yunxi and others are exempt from inspection, and they enter the city gate smoothly.
After entering the city gate, after a slight greeting, the Ye family said goodbye to the generals and gentlemen, and the people naturally went back to their own homes, but the rest of the Yunxi people were rushing to the inn. Originally, Ye Lu was sent to come over to rent a house in advance, but unexpectedly, the rent in Tokyo City was extremely high, and the courtyard was not very large, so Ye Lu was difficult to choose, so he had to rent the inn first, and wait for Ye Yuan and Ye Fu to come and then discuss.
When you enter the city, it is even more lively, the criss-crossing streets are full of people, and the shouts of the vendors come and go, and there is an endless stream, which attracts several people in the car to be ape, and they can't wait to jump down and go shopping. However, this time, the Lin clan had already taken precautions and reprimanded them early.
"Don't you see people wearing hats and fences? Are you embarrassed to run with a straight face? β
"Mother, why do you pay attention to so much, look at what you can't miss, isn't it, Yunxi?" Yun Jindao, she was more depressed, because she was in time, Yunxi was still young, and she and the Lin family were the ones who could use the things of Dai Na Laoshi, so she was very dissatisfied.
Yunxi smiled embarrassedly: "Eldest sister, follow the customs of the locals, and it doesn't hurt to wear it." β
In fact, she also felt that there was no need for that, although there were many people wearing hats on the street, but there were even more who didn't wear them! And they are civilized in the north, where do they need to use this? However, Yunxi does not intend to challenge the authority of the Lin family, although the hat is a bit redundant, but it still looks good-looking, and it looks particularly hazy and mysterious. Even if it is an ordinary-looking one, under the looming gauze hat, it also adds a strong mysterious beauty. From a psychological point of view, this looming hazy beauty is actually the most arousing people's desire for prying eyes and imagination! So Yunxi thinks that he might as well give it a try.
Two to one, Yunjin loses! So she had to reluctantly agree: "Okay, listen to you, buy one!" β
There are a lot of people selling this on the street, and after a while, Ye Yuan informed them that there was a shop in front of them that specialized in selling this, Yunxi hurriedly got out of the car, and called Li Sijie in the car behind, and she also happily got out of the car when she said that she was buying a hat.
The shop is not big, only one counter, but the goods are hung on three walls, various styles, all of them are fine, covering the face with tulle fine silk bead curtains of various materials, and there are different lengths, some only to the neck, and some are hanging down to the calves. The top of the hat is also round and square, with different heights, and the colors are even more diverse.
After some try-on, Lin chose a lilac tulle, Li Sijie chose a light green tulle, Yunjin chose a light blue, Qiulan, Chunlan, and Yuanyuan also chose one each, and even Yunxi couldn't help but choose a bead curtain, so there are not many opportunities to choose to wear it, and it's not bad to take it back and see it!
I was very happy when I chose, but it wasn't so pleasant when I checked out, a tulle hat was priced at 100 Wen, and the bead curtain selected by Yunxi was as high as 2 taels of silver, Yunxi didn't say it, although the pearl was a little smaller, the shape was irregular, and it was genuine non-plastic and non-glass, and it was worth the money, but there were too many of that kind of tulle, and a piece of tulle was only 300 Wen, and it was more than ten or twenty to be able to make this hat.
Seeing that the faces of Lin and the others were different, the store owner hurriedly said: "The price of goods in Tokyo is high, and the one in my store is actually not expensive,......
I talked a lot about it, and my attitude was pretty good, and I didn't mean to despise it. However, the Lin family still felt embarrassed, and hurriedly paid the bill, and even Yunxi's expensive goods didn't think of letting her pay for it herself.
"It's not a loss to the capital, everything is expensive." Just walked out of the store, Lin sighed, "No wonder your Uncle Lu didn't rent a house, presumably this rent is several times more expensive than ours." β
But when they arrived at the inn, they realized that it was not only several times more expensive, but also more than ten times.
In Youzhou City, they rent a shop with a faΓ§ade for only 300 yuan a month, but in Tokyo, they can't even rent a room, let alone a courtyard.
"I've inquired about it, the official rental house here is 400 to 500 yuan a month, and the private rental house is about the same price, but it is difficult to guarantee safety." Ye Lu smiled bitterly, "Considering that there are many of us, I still looked at a few courtyards, all of which were more than five taels, so I really can't decide." β
Yunxi and the others were dumbfounded, five taels were the annual rent in Youzhou, but it was only one month here, which was too outrageous.
