Chapter Ninety-Eight: West Market
Although she has already done psychological construction, when it comes time to really leave, Huilan is still quite reluctant. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the air is fresh, and the eyes of people living here are wide.
No wonder those hermit masters live in seclusion and choose famous mountains and rivers, living in those immortal mountain resorts, not immortals but also half-immortals. The so-called mountains don't know how long the years are, and they don't ask about the red dust and the past. Don't seek to be heard, don't admire fame and fortune, only be in the company of mountains and rivers and white clouds, how can you not make people feel relieved and forget their worries.
Along the way, look at the scenery, eat, talk and laugh with the maids, and squint for a while, this not close distance has become much faster. Seeing that she was about to enter the city, Huilan was very excited. I've asked for instructions before, and she's going to go around the West Market before going home. coquettishly played a trick and promised to go back before lunch, and with Mr. He's homework, he finally got his wish. No matter who asks, it is because Mr. has assigned homework that he needs to go to the field to see the field, this is the principle of the main purpose, and you have to believe it if you don't believe it.
It is said that Daqin emphasized agriculture but did not suppress commerce, and commerce was quite developed. All parts of the country go up to the coastal areas of northern Xinjiang and southern barbarian Tubo, and down to the foreign ethnic groups of the Japanese and the Western Regions, and there are all kinds of products in various places. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Daqin vigorously expanded Yanjing, and carefully laid out the inner city according to its functions. In addition to the center of the imperial city, the rest of the government offices, schools, official residences, merchants, hospitals, and market shops have clear divisions. In the west of the city, Yanjing and even the largest commercial district in the north were built, and there were two squares in the early days. After hundreds of years of development, it has expanded several times.
Overlooking from above, the West Market is laid out in a large hollow shape, square. Unified two-story style, one color of red walls and green tiles, the same tall and short, fat and thin door face, unified bluestone steps and bluestone slabs, a black background gold paint plaque, red lanterns and red door panels...... It has to be said that OCD is quite friendly here. If there is no accident, the person who presided over the construction of the West Market must be a person with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. This is closed, and walking inside without looking at the plaque is estimated to feel like wandering in an infinite loop of four-dimensional space.
The main road, which is like a labyrinth clockwise, is not too wide, and can only accommodate two carriages in parallel. The store is three steps above the road, so that it will not directly flood the store when it rains heavily. Of course, this is a joke, but the drainage system in the inner city is quite well-developed. In addition to this main road, there is a two-meter-wide laneway on the steps at the four corners of each hollow to allow pedestrians to turn around, connecting the inside and outside of the city directly. This also ensures that if there is an emergency, it is convenient for people to evacuate.
On the periphery of the formal building, there are many stalls with uniform styles and regulations, neatly arranged. I heard that there are many temporary stalls outside these stalls during the big market. However, there will be a special person to manage them, and they will be placed neatly and will not affect the shop stalls inside. I have to say that the rent of these shops alone should already be a lot of income, plus these fixed stalls must be more.
The court is the owner of these shops, and the buying and selling operations have to pay taxes, and even the fox spirits outside here have to be stripped of several layers of skin! There is a special government management here, which is responsible for maintaining order, planning merchants, supervising operations, collecting taxes, and so on. It is equivalent to the collection of market supervision department + urban management + taxation and so on, and the rights and responsibilities are not small.
In addition to the market and residential area, the West Market is also the location of the Yanjing Red Light District. However, the two places are far apart, so there is no misunderstanding. Of course, it doesn't mean that the whole Yanjing City can only come here to buy things, this market is actually a wholesale market, and there are various shops in the rest of the squares. There is a constant stream of merchants here every day, and there are countless large transactions of buying and selling.
In order to facilitate transactions, there is an independent Daqin Money Village in the West Market, which provides various financial services for merchants. Daqin already has paper money, which is called Zhuang Bill. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the imperial court presided over the establishment of Daqin Qianzhuang, which spread throughout all states and counties across the country. It basically monopolized the country's financial economy and ensured the stability and orderliness of Daqin's financial market. Through the popularity of the banker's bills, it not only effectively curbs the private mining of precious metals such as gold, silver and copper, but also expands the contact and communication of businesses around the country to the greatest extent.
As the capital of Daqin, Yanjing City has a total of five money villages, and the southeast and northwest cities plus the west city are the most money villages in each state. It is not difficult to see the prosperity of the West Market, according to rumors, and then converted by Huilan, the flow of the West Market in one day is not as good as the flow of a second-tier city and the flow of the four major banks.
I have to say that Emperor Taizu has great luck and is full of talents in all aspects. It is said that the person in charge of the Great Qin Qian Zhuang was a supporter of Taizu before the founding of the Emperor before the founding of the country, and was responsible for providing military money and grain, the head of the Yue family, the first wealthy merchant in Great Qin. Yue Xi, who is still a woman, really makes Huilan admire and curious, and can't help but inquire about her deeds.
The Yue family was a famous giant in the late Tang Dynasty, and Yue Xi took over as the head of the family at the age of twenty, leading the family through ups and downs in troubled times. In the end, Emperor Taizu was selected to take refuge, and he gave full support to his family, and he was a great contributor to Taizu's achievements. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, Yuexi immediately divided the family and divided the family property into other branches and moved around. The young widow stayed in the capital with her two daughters and a group of henchmen and presided over the establishment of Daqin Qianzhuang.
It took more than ten years to finally open Daqin Qianzhuang all over the states and counties, and dredged the economic context of Daqin, completely holding the economic lifeline in the hands of the imperial court. After Taizu was called the emperor, he accepted Yuexi as his righteous sister, and was named the lord of the protectorate county, the prince of the same court, and the hereditary replacement.
Just looking at her life deeds, it is not difficult to see her extraordinary wisdom and peerless talent. With her financial resources, wisdom, identity, and means, she did not end up becoming Taizu's harem like the general routine. Instead, it preserved the family bloodline, wealth industry, and achieved such a career. Tut-tut, what a strange woman. Such a legendary life and such a great achievement, how can you not let the younger generations who are also women admire and admire.
It's a pity that she only lived to be fifty years old and went early. left a last word before death, the descendants of the Yue family will not marry with the royal family for generations, and the violators will be removed; The title is passed on to women but not to men, and each generation of successors recruits Lang into the lineage. Her eldest daughter inherited her career and developed Daqin Qianzhuang bigger and stronger.
This is the model of my generation, Hui Lan watched the deeds of the county lord of the country for the first time, and slapped her thigh excitedly. What kind of love is it, it will only affect the speed of drawing the knife and delay the career of a strong woman! Hui Lan introduced her as a lifelong idol, and she couldn't wait to worship her from time to time.
Far away, far away, Hui Lan came here mainly to experience the joy of cloud shopping. It's not yet noon, and there aren't many people on the streets, and the people in the shops are thrilled to see the dazzling array of goods. It's a pity that there is a time limit, otherwise let Huilan finish the entire West Market, it's hard to say anything else, the purse is definitely a big deal.
Huilan walked around for half an hour, and went back step by step. Sure enough, this is common to women in ancient and modern times, and shopping will stimulate potential. Hui Lan decided that next time, she must find a time to bring enough tickets and go shopping happily.
Everyone is embarrassed.,I don't know if it's because of improper operation or what's the reason.,The word of the new code was not saved.,I had to rewrite it again.。 The update is late, forgive me. In addition, thank you to the people who voted for me, thank you
