Qi Zihuan was confused.

The reason why he said this was because he had taken the time to sleep in a cave with a campfire while he had started running around again to farm monsters and tasks.

Well, of course not and sleeping again.

He went out again to find food for them for the rest of the day.

In short, he closed his eyes in the flickering firelight, and when he opened them again, he was in ancient times again.

He was used to it, so he walked around and found himself in a very prosperous and wealthy capital, and the experience of being almost chased by patrol soldiers at night told him that the system and curfew were strictly enforced.

Prosperous, densely populated, and full of gringos, coupled with the rule that you are not allowed to walk the streets and alleys at night, all kinds of evidence point to the fact that he was in the city of Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty.

This is the reasoning exercise that Qi Zihuan assigned to himself when he was wandering around, in case one day an official named Yuan Fang would come and ask him to go out of the mountain to solve the case.

Tang Chang'an, at this time, is the most prosperous economic and cultural center in the whole world, and it is also a piece of history that Chinese people are proud of, so there are few movies with this background in later generations, which makes Qi Zihuan extremely confused about his mission.

Of course, I also asked people, and the neighbors said that it is now the twenty-first year of Zhenyuan, and the first emperor Dezong has just died in the first month, and now it is the crown prince Li Yu who succeeds to the throne, and the year name has not changed for the time being.

By the way, he also attached a gossip message that had actually spread all over Chang'an City.

The former crown prince and the current emperor have suffered a stroke on the eve of succession, and now they are half paralyzed, unable to speak, and unable to govern the dynasty at all, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the throne will be passed on again.

Qi Zihuan was dizzy after listening to the introduction of the neighborhood, he studied history when he was studying, but to be honest, for the entire Tang Dynasty, he only had some impressions of some emperors in the early stage, such as Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who killed his brother, such as Wu Zetian, the only female emperor who killed his son, and Tang Xuanzong, who killed Wu Zetian's daughter......

Basically, the entire Tang Dynasty is like a complete parabola, the first half of the period is mostly famous emperors and virtuous ministers, and the fortune of the Li family rises step by step, until the Tang Xuanzong period reached its peak.

Have you heard of Kaiyuan Shengshi?

This is the heyday of Tang Xuanzong's hard work and conscientious work as emperor for 29 years.

Then Tang Xuanzong did something.

After he had been a Ming Jun for twenty-nine years, he probably felt a little bored, so he changed the year name with a twitch of his head.

Changed Kaiyuan to Tianbao.

After that, Tang Xuanzong was like Ye Xuan, as if he had been lowered, how could he be stupid and incompetent, pampered the concubine, appointed a traitorous minister, and allowed Hu Ren to serve as a festival envoy.

Soon, he finished playing by himself, and the entire Datang Dynasty has since gone into decline.

In the later period of the Tang Dynasty, the emperors were not one by one, but in piles.

So after Qi Zihuan listened to the current era name, the only thing he could confirm was that Yuan Fang couldn't read it anymore, and he still had no clue about anything else.

But that didn't stop him from finding something to do for himself.

His current identity is the son of a petty official, but his parents are dead, and he only left him a small house and a little family wealth in Chang'an City.

And he himself has already been on the list, but it is the Ming Jing Branch, not the Jin Shi Branch, the gold content is not very high, and he is currently in the election, according to the convention, there will be vacancies in the last three or five or seven years.

In other words, he was a jobless vagrant at this time, a factor of social instability, but unfortunately there was not much money left in the family to let him lose.

A dignified seven-foot man, if you don't have money, then make money!

So the first thing he did after he came here was to pawn the deed.

At this time, the housing prices in Chang'an were inflated, and they could be regarded as a lot of money.

Then he slept until three o'clock in the morning, went to the West Market to drink a bowl of sencha with a complex taste, and after lunch, he began the most serious event of the day.

Visit the kiln!

I finally came to a metropolis like New York in the future, and I wouldn't be panicked if I didn't hurry up to experience the cultural and entertainment life here.

Besides, after careful analysis, he felt that no matter which world he entered, since it was set in Chang'an, there would almost always be a clip of the red light district in this movie.

Maybe when you drink and listen to music one day, you can bump into the protagonist at the next table and trigger a bloody plot.

Therefore, he couldn't move every day, and insisted on hanging around Pingkangfang, the most famous red light district in the Tang Dynasty, from the afternoon, and took turns to patronize the various courtyards in the east and south of Fangdong.

In the meantime, he will also do some wonderful things about copying the public, and he also spread the name of a talented man from Pingkangfang.

It's a pity that the top girls in Pingkang Fang often have fashionable hairstyles, bright clothes, and gorgeous makeup, but that's what they look like...... It really only deserves a "mediocre" evaluation.

Later, after getting acquainted with other talents, I learned that the Tang people at this time often did not pay attention to appearance, but more to talent.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting? Singing and dancing?

That's the basics!

There are two key talents used to rate, one is Xi Jiao, and the other is poetry.

Needless to say, this seat correction refers to the time when everyone drinks and makes a drinking order, whether this wine order is done well or not, whether it needs to be fined three glasses of wine, it has to be judged by a referee, and this referee is called Xi Jiao.

Eh, this is very difficult, whether a guest's wine order is good or not, and where the mistake is wrong, it has to be reasonable, ingenious and funny.

In this case, Qi Zihuan drank and recited poems with the famous actors every day with regret, but he was still as guarded as jade.

In this way, more than ten days have passed, and his "poems" have begun to spread around, but he has never met a character with the halo of the protagonist.

After a long time, he was also a little slack, thinking that he would not go to Pingkangfang to report at all, and go to the West Market for a day off.

Chang'an City is square and Zhouzheng, generally speaking, the east side lives are some dignitaries, and the East Market is also a relatively high-end commercial gathering area, and Qi Zihuan often goes to Pingkangfang is next to the East Market.

The west side of the capital is inhabited by civilians, and the west market is more intimate and lively, in addition to all kinds of stalls and many jugglers, even Hu people and other foreigners are also common here.

Qi Zihuan looked fresh all the way, and when he arrived at a bridgehead in Dexi City, he suddenly found that the crowd gathered in front of a row of bamboo frames tied into squares.

"Eat melons! Eat melons! A man with a cloak next to the bamboo frame was shouting, "A melon can't quench everyone's thirst, and look at me to grow a few trees." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his right hand flat, showed the audience a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and then bent down and sprinkled them in turn in a shallow soil ditch that he had shoveled in advance, and then filled the soil slightly with his feet.

Take a pot and pour the water in the pot through the ditch.

"It's sprouting! Grow up! ”

The man gestured to the ground and shouted like a command.

The ground really began to sprout, and then the melon vines spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye, climbing the bamboo frame.

"It's blooming! It's a melon! ”

The flowers bloom and the melons are ripe.

Everyone applauded, and even Qi Zihuan joined in the excitement and applauded.

Only a monk beside him said softly to a well-dressed man.

"It's an illusion."
