Yang Jing and others set off from the vast Dongting Lake, and saw all the green mountains and beautiful waters on the waterway, and there was no harassment by thieves and thieves.
After the difficulty of Jingkang, the Song dynasty moved south, and decided to take Hangzhou as the line, and built a ceremonial temple in the city of Hangzhou, dredged the rivers, lakes and waterways, and rebuilt the original Wuyue palace into the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Lin'an south by the Phoenix Mountain, west of the West Lake, the imperial city and the palace are built according to the mountain, located in the south foot of the Phoenix Mountain, the north is the bustling and noisy market town, a royal street runs through the north and south, the south section is the government office, the middle section is the business district, the tiles are everywhere, the city is full of all kinds of shops, teahouses, hotels, luxury mansions of dignitaries and nobles, such as Guozijian, Taixue, Wuxue, etc. are also pedestrians, such as weaving like a tide.
Yang Jing and others have heard that Lin'an is prosperous, and now when they enter the boundary of Hangzhou, they feel the smoke and rain and the breeze, the fragrance of flowers everywhere, and there are sandbar egrets, fishermen throwing, it is really a paradise on earth.
After the big boat entered the waterway of the city, Yang Jing and others changed the boat, because Yang Jing's itinerary was faster, it arrived one day earlier than the agreed day, and the imperial court was not able to contact in time, Yang Jing was also happy to do so, just with Gao Caizhi and others to take a good tour of Hangzhou, take a look at the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, taste the food of Hangzhou, and appreciate the prosperity of the market.
Hu Mingqiao didn't have this idle effort, the ship had just docked, so he made an appointment with Yang Jing, and then couldn't wait to rush back to the palace.
Gao Caizhi saw this great Song Dynasty scenery, and saw a large number of alien people living and doing business in Lin'an, and the accents of Shannan and Haibei were endless, which really included the inner and eye-opening.
After playing this day, although everyone was tired, but they also returned with fun, and they did not notify the imperial court to accompany them at night, so they stayed in an inn in the Wulin Gate, but they did not expect that the night market in Lin'an was also as bright as day, and the red lanterns of the Qinglou tiles covered this night with a layer of ambiguous and charming atmosphere.
Because Yang Jing's team was too large, in addition to those craftsmen, there was also the phantom team of "Flowers", so the entire inn was simply enveloped.
Li Yu and the others are all secret inspectors of the Imperial City Division, as early as when they entered the city, they greeted the Imperial City Division, and someone from the capital came to secretly check the dots, and things went well.
Don't look at Yang Jing's team, the number of people is a bit large, but there are countless caravans in Lin'an City every day, and there are also caravans larger than this, not to mention those who have never heard of names, but they have brought a large team of followers and want to meet the officials of the heavenly kingdom.
These envoys needed to meet the people of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple first, and open up the relationship channels before it was possible to meet the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.
Although the Southern Song Dynasty was in a corner of peace, it was highly developed in terms of humanity and commerce, and Lin'an became the most prosperous metropolis in the world at that time, with a population of tens of millions.
However, Yang Jing didn't want to be too high-profile, after all, he recruited fifty grandmasters and craftsmen privately, plus the flowers, as well as Feng Ruochen and others, I was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble.
So after moving in, Yang Jing asked Li Yu to move around with the secret inspector, and it was necessary to properly place the craftsman group and the phantom group.
The craftsman group is okay to say, after all, there are a large number of handicraft workshops around Wulin Gate, Li Yu said hello to his colleagues in the Imperial City Division, and directly placed it in the secret stronghold of the Imperial City Division.
Because Yang Jing even solved strange cases in Jiangling Mansion, the Imperial City Division also looked good-looking, and whether it was suppressing the Southwest Rebellion or sending an envoy to Dali, the Imperial City Division had a lot of credit, so the people of the Imperial City Division treated Yang Jing very favorably.
If it is replaced by a civil official, it is bound to be suppressed against Yang Jing, who suddenly appeared, but the reputation of the Imperial City Division has never been good, and it is often impeached by civilian officials, and now Dong Songchen is in control of the speed room, and it is too late for the Imperial City Division to be unanimous with the outside world, where can he dare to engage in internal strife, a middle-level official like Yang Jing who is young and promising, and has the favor of the official family, is the talent that the Imperial City Division needs most.
With the help of the Imperial City Division, Li Yu quickly settled Du Kefeng and the others of the Grandmaster Group, but it was "full of flowers", and it would take some time.
It is said that this Lin'an City is full of tiles and fences, and the Phantom Group should be easy to settle down, but this capital is so big, and each area has already been carved up by the powerful people of the DPRK and China.
Many princes and nobles have their own territory in the city, without any background, no one to recommend and guide, and it is really difficult to occupy a place.
And the secret inspectors of the Imperial City Division have informants in each Vasher Hook Column, in order to control the people's feelings in the Imperial City, which is also the main job of these mountain foxes and rats in the Imperial City Division.
The Phantom Human Group looks very ordinary, it is a grass-headed team, but because of this, it makes the people of the Imperial City Division feel a little headache.
The singing troupe in the tile hook column is undoubtedly not handsome men and beautiful women, or a phantom group, and there are not many old people.
But most of the flowers are old people, just a few young people, but all of them are apprentices, and these young people are mediocre, not to mention beautiful, and what they have practiced is all behind-the-scenes manipulation and thread lifting, and they can't be on the stage.
Which tile company recruits such a team is a loss-making business, not to mention that there are more than 30 people in the flowers, and the scale is also very large.
At present, in the Lin'an Wazi Gou Column, they are mainly singing and geisha, and there are also artists such as storytelling and singing, kicking flower balls, etc., who simply play illusions, except for those people in the Western Regions, who know how to use exotic beauties, and sell their performances and bodies, the traditional ancient color tricks actually do not have much of a market, and most of them are either performing in the open air on the streets, or which one has a church meeting or a hundred opera collections, and they are invited to participate in the performance.
Therefore, if you want to properly place the flowers, it is a little troublesome, at least in a short period of time.
Yang Jing had to go to the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial City Division on the second day to report on his work, and he needed to prepare to enter the palace to face the saint, and he also wanted to deal with this matter as soon as possible.
At the beginning of this lantern, Yang Jing wanted to go to see the tile goulan in person, and also wanted to see the ancient literary and entertainment nightlife, and by the way, he looked for an opportunity to sell the flowers.
Thinking like this, Yang Jing asked Li Yu and a Beijing errand officer of the Imperial City Division to lead the way, bringing Guan Yulong and a pair of talented young apprentices, Feng Ruochen and Gao Caizhi dressed up as men, Liu Hanchao acted as the dean's entourage, and the group went to the tile workshop.
This tile can be different from the Qinglou, although there are also artists and bodies, but the most important thing is to enjoy literature and art, of course, there are also some rich and powerful masters, when they see young and beautiful corners, they want to take it for themselves, in short, this kind of pickled thing is not strange.
Of course, the women only have the share of singing, dancing and drinking, but the ones who perform on stage are all handsome young brothers.
The men who come here for recreation are not so much looking for women, but rather looking for men, looking for women, just go directly to the Qinglou, and want to change their tastes, so they naturally come to the tile to find these handsome little brothers.
In fact, the ancient atmosphere is not as old-fashioned as imagined, and the preference for male style is also a common thing in ancient times, many dynasties have taken raising male pets as an elegant thing, and they are also very open to the matter of Longyang's broken sleeves, and even some male pets and the hostess are jealous of the romance and romance of the wind and the heroine are said to be a good story.
However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, science began to rise and developed rapidly, and this kind of thing, which was considered to be harmful to heaven and human morality, did not dare to pursue and advocate anymore, and could only secretly continue this "fine tradition".
The guide who accompanied Yang Jing on the tour was the official of the Imperial City Division, named Chen Mi, whose official rank was not low, and he was cautious, but he was personally appointed by the official affairs of the Imperial City Division, which shows that the Imperial City Division attaches great importance to Yang Jing, a rising star.
Chen Mi is very familiar with Lin'an City, and took Yang Jing and others to several houses, all of which are well-known in Lin'an City, and many of them are run by officials themselves.
The Southern Song Dynasty did not allow officials to do business, but there was no explicit provision that the family members of officials could not do business, so these relatives of the official family started all kinds of business in an open and honest manner, using the power of officials, power and money to live together, and accumulating family wealth like a snowball.
It is precisely because of this that the mountain foxes and rats of the Imperial City Division infiltrated into the tiles of various green buildings to monitor the business transactions of the families of these officials, so as to prevent the officials from forming parties for personal gain and plotting against them.
This is to say that men who understand talent are sometimes really more attractive than women, Yang Jing has gone to these houses, and those men are dressed up and stopped, singing and playing like this on stage, which is really heart-wrenching.
Human beings tend to be very curious about sick things, and even many times do not like to stick to the rules, but are extremely interested in things that are beyond the scope of ordinary people's morality.
This is also the reason why men feel that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, and it is not as exciting to prostitute as to steal.
Basically, the men who come to Vasher, except for a small group of people who really appreciate art, the rest are all with a curious mentality, some people spend a lot of money to sleep with a little brother, and they can boast to others for ten days and half a month.
Although Feng Ruochen and Gao Caizhi have cheerful and lively personalities, they are quite ashamed to see these men dressed up in women's clothes, eyebrows and eyebrows with those men, and even intimate in public.
Seeing that it was about to turn to the next family, Yang Jing heard the melodious sound of the piano, coming out of a courtyard, the sound of the piano was as crisp as a mountain spring, it was simply a clear stream in the complicated world, mixed with the noisy market, and it hit the soul!
Yang Jing couldn't help but stop at this courtyard, and asked Chen Mi: "This ordinary person actually has such a natural sound, Lin'anguo is the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon..."
Chen Mi couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, pointed to the red lanterns hanging on both sides of the courtyard gate, and explained to Yang Jing: "Lord Yang doesn't know, here... This is a kiln, and this piano is good, but unfortunately it's just a secret prostitute..."
Yang Jing saw the red lantern, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, he had also seen this scene in Baling, but he didn't expect Lin'an to have it, and when he looked into the alley, there were many similar secret prostitution kilns.
This brothel also has the number of brothels, the big one is called the Qinglou, the spiritual enjoyment is greater than the physical pleasure, the small is the kiln, as long as you enjoy the pleasure of the flesh, many of the secret prostitutes are widows and aunts or old ladies who can't marry out but have a return to the family, there is no way to be good, and the Qinglou is not accepted, so they have to start a business in their own home.
Not everyone is a literati, nor is it a high-ranking official, and the kiln can be regarded as a good place for civilian consumption, imperial enjoyment, and promotion of neighborhood feelings.
Although Feng Ruochen and Gao Caizhi showed disgusted expressions, Yang Jing still wanted to go in and have a look, and was about to say to Chen Mi, but a team of people came bustling and shouted, saying to Yang Jing and the others: "If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"
