556 Go into the city to play
"This capital is different, we came all the way from Guanzhou Mansion and passed through many cities, but we don't have half the grandeur of the capital."
Entering from the city gate, there is a street dozens of meters wide, which can be driven by more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages.
At this time, the city was basically square, and various streets and alleys divided the city into several areas.
There are areas where dignitaries and nobles live, areas where merchants and wealthy families live, and naturally there are places where you can eat, drink, and have fun with the small people in the market.
They didn't bring anyone else, only a coachman who drove the carriage, and Li Changhui acted as a guide to introduce Lin He to some general situations in the capital.
Although he has not been in the capital for many years, there will definitely be changes in some small places, but large areas will not change easily.
"The so-called Shinong industry and commerce, even if the businessman is rich, but most people feel that the businessman smells of copper, and they are unwilling to have a deep relationship with him, and even think that they live too close to the businessman, and they also feel unlucky."
"The people of the world respect the north, so the palace and the residences of the imperial officials are in the north of the city."
"In the east, there are many merchants, and in addition to residences, there are also many large merchants, and in the south are people from slightly better families, and in the west, there are mostly poor people."
"Basically, the west of any city can be said to be a slum, and most of the lower-class people will hide in these places."
Li Changhui explained slowly, and Lin He listened with a smack.
"I didn't expect there to be these exquisite, so according to what you said, where should the place for eating, drinking and having fun be?"
Li Changhui smiled: "This is just the general direction, not that there can only be residents, except for the Beicheng side, other places are naturally places to eat, drink and have fun." ”
"The palace is in Beicheng, and the closest to the palace are the three provinces and six departments, and then from the inside to the outside, they are the palaces of the princes and princesses, the princes and princesses, and the mansions of the court officials."
"In these places, there are a large number of officers and soldiers patrolling on weekdays, and idle people are not allowed to enter easily, let alone those things for fun, naturally it is impossible for him."
Lin He nodded as if he didn't understand, anyway, except for the north of the city, you can go anywhere else, right?
"So where are we going now?"
Lin He opened the carriage curtain with his hand and looked out curiously, on the wide street, there were many carriages and people coming and going, and there were even people riding horses directly.
However, you can't run wild on the street on horseback, you can only move forward slowly to avoid accidentally injuring passers-by, and there is a sense of speed limit, which makes Lin He a little surprised.
"Let's go to Qingyu Street first, there are all kinds of gadgets from all over the world, as well as snacks from all over the world, you should be more interested."
Li Changhui is the person who knows Lin He best, so he naturally knows what Lin He likes.
She is generally interested in expensive gold and silver jewelry, lacks interest in elegant qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and jade and porcelain in her eyes, and the only role is to be used as ornaments.
On the contrary, those groceries from all over the world are Lin He's favorite things, just like on the way to the capital, every time he was pulled to the shore to rest, he went straight to the street selling department stores, rummaging through them like treasure hunting.
No, as soon as Li Changhui finished speaking, Lin He's eyes lit up: "Okay, good, I've always heard that there is everything in the capital, and I must take a good look at it this time." ”
All the good things in the world will gather in the imperial city, which is the richest place in the entire Da'an Dynasty.
At a glance, there are a lot of people on the roadside, almost every shop has people in and out, Xiao Er keeps ushering in and going, eating and playing, women's hairpins and rouge, men's clothes, socks, shoes and hats, etc., everything.
There are also some large trees planted on the side of the road, which are not only beautiful, but also shelter from the wind and rain, which is very practical.
If it weren't for the fact that these people were wearing different clothes, Lin He even felt that it would be no different from the street in his previous life.
I knew that I should have come to the city earlier to take a look, the first time I entered the city, the first time I lifted the carriage curtain to take a look, the second time I entered the palace, the street was dark and quiet, and I couldn't see anything.
Li Changhui sat down beside Lin He: "The capital is prosperous, we estimate that we can only take a stroll around this Qingyu Street today, and we will take you to other places next time." ”
Lin He was suddenly curious: "Qingyu Street is so big?" ”
Li Changhui smiled: "Although it is called Qingyu Street, it is not just one street, but a total of six streets, if you can finish shopping in one day today, it will be considered amazing." ”
Lin He exhaled lightly: "It's so big." ”
"Yes, and if I'm not mistaken, there happened to be Hu merchants entering the city recently, and it will be more lively, and the carriage on Qingyu Street can't enter, you can only walk, so I said, it's enough to only go to this Qingyu Street today."
Lin He's eyes were shining: "It sounds so powerful." ”
Li Changhui smiled: "Of course, but you must be careful after entering, there are many people in Qingyu Street, and there will be all kinds of people mixed in, especially some small thieves, who like to go to Qingyu Street to take sheep." ”
As he spoke, he took the money bag from Lin He's waist.
"Put this in your sleeve pocket, hang it around your waist, even I can't guarantee it, when someone takes it away, you will definitely feel it."
Lin He found out that the money bag on Li Changhui's waist was gone, and it seemed that it was also in the sleeve pocket.
"Even if you're so powerful, you can't completely prevent thieves, and those thieves are too powerful, right?"
Lin He didn't make it big, Li Changhui was so careful, she didn't think she could be 100% safe.
Li Changhui was helpless: "Although we have tried our best to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, after all, there are still displaced people, especially some children who have been doing these since they were young, and they have rich experience, even if there are guards patrolling every day, they still can't catch them all." ”
Lin He nodded and touched his chin: "Brother Hui, I was about to tell you recently, I feel that there are not enough people working in the fields, you say, should we directly post notices in the city to recruit people?" ”
In the past, there were more than 1,000 acres of tenants, and there were hundreds of tenants, who planted grain, raised chickens and pigs in a decent way on weekdays.
Almost every season, there will be some vacant land, which can also be used by tenants to take a break and rest.
But now it's different, under Lin He's various arrangements, there is almost no idle space in the field now.
In addition, more than 1,000 acres of land have been added, and some of them have just been bought, so that the existing tenants are somewhat insufficient.
Recruiting people to work is a matter of time or time.
But Li Changhui almost instantly thought of Lin He's meaning, not just recruiting people.
"You want to take some children into the Zhuangzi?"
What he said just now happened to mention that some children learn to be thieves from an early age.
But Li Changhui also knew that Lin He should not just have a good heart.
Or maybe there should be something else in mind. (End of chapter)
