Chapter 226: The Trafficker
In our Great Song Dynasty, there was an innovative move, which was indeed unprecedented.
That's the inner planning of the state capital...... Before that, the outside of the city was built without care, but the interior was mostly the same, and the whole city was divided into small blocks, some as dwellings and some as trading areas, one of which was called 'li' and the other was called 'city', and both 'li' and 'city' were surrounded by high walls, each with a gate, which was governed by officials, and the whole city was curfew.
Needless to say, the benefits of the fang system here are naturally easy to manage, the whole city is like a chessboard, is divided into a grid, in Liu Bang's words, it is the same as managing cattle and horses, cattle live in the cattle pen, horses live in the stable, people, live in the palace.
"Warring States Policy" says: 'The city of thousands of zhang, the city of ten thousand families faces each other', which means that it is the workshop here.
This Great Song Dynasty is different, after the Tang Dynasty years of war, few monarchs have the money to build a city wall in the city, to the Great Song Dynasty, it completely canceled the city wall, so that the neighborhood is completely facing the street, and no longer divide the area so strictly, along the street to do business, along the street to live people, are okay.
At this point, most of the cities under heaven turned to the street system that began with the Song Dynasty.
The section from the outer city to the inner city is where the forbidden army is stationed, the goods are transported, the tile shop is hooked, and the state warehouse is located. The section from the inner city to the imperial city is where the yamen, the merchants, the temples and Taoist temples, and the residences of the dignitaries are located, and the Yongfeng warehouse where the father and son of the Wang family are located is in the southeast corner of the outer city.
Although the prosperity is no longer what it used to be, this good habit of not having a curfew has been preserved in Kaifeng...... Everyone's life is hard enough, if they are restrained from begging for a living, I don't know how many people will be hungry, and when it comes to this livelihood, Kaifeng really does everything.
Seeing that although Wang De was ugly, but he came out of the Qian family's warehouse, people naturally regarded him as a member of the Qian family, and the people of the Qian family were all nobles and the God of Wealth.
Yaksha was startled, thinking that his whereabouts were exposed, and after seeing these people clearly as soldiers, he thought that they were scoundrels who came to take advantage, and he was about to open his mouth to shout, but he heard what was said from the mouths of this group of rogues, and he was patient.
Someone shouted: "Does my husband want to be a prostitute?" Qinhuaihe, Lin'anfu, the Jurchens of the party, and the Kunlun Nu Semu people, all of them! ”
Business is really hard to do these days, it's not that Wang De subconsciously favors him, but he shouts the loudest and most enthusiastic...... Such an attitude can't help but remind him of those flower boats on the West Lake in Lin'an, compared with this Kaifeng Mansion, those girls are simply damned, one by one, I can't wait to put my nostrils to the sky, people arrive, it seems that they are not going to have fun, but to be blinded!
Wang Yasha cleared his throat: "There is something to do, let's talk about it later." ”
After thinking about it, he stuffed another hanger of money to this person: "You come back to look for me in two days, I will be there ......"
With a finger of his hand, he pointed to Yongfeng Cang behind him.
This turtle prince responded again and again, and thanked Dade for going, he was really happy, I don't know how long I haven't met such a bold benefactor.
Wang De threw a bunch of money out for no reason, which made the group of people around him more enthusiastic:
"Do you listen to the drama outside the staff? A book that has just been written seriously, "Qin Hui" that many nobles like to read! ”
Wang Yasha waved his hand: "If you can't listen to the play, get away." ”
Someone else shouted: "Officials want to fish? ”
Can you sell it for money if you catch a fish? Wang De looked at him suspiciously, and the man said in a low voice:
"Jinming Pond and Qionglin Garden outside the West City, the real Zhao Family Garden, as long as you have a few dollars at will, you can go in and fish."
"Let's have an emperor's day, isn't it!"
The second half of this sentence was spoken close to Wang Yasha's ear, and Rao was like this, but he still broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly pushed and beat him, driving this disobedient person away.
This group of people has everything, some come from restaurants, some sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even sell their own daughters...... Anyway, after listening to it, there are only unthinkables, and there is really no one who these people can't sell.
In the past, when Kaifeng was still there, Wang Yasha was just a small soldier on the side, and he had only heard of this city, but now Kaifeng is no longer Kaifeng, but other strange things have appeared, but he has also opened the world.
On the contrary, there was a person who had not intervened all along, and it seemed a little abrupt among these people, so that Wang Yasha only had one eye left, and he also noticed him.
Signaled to Wang Qi and a few people, and everyone quickly drove away this group of traffickers, so Wang Defang saw the whole picture, this kid looked twelve or thirteen years old, in tatters, not like a businessman, but like a person who came to ask for food.
"Hey!" Yaksha frowned, this is the scary appearance he specially pretended, "Everyone sells it, do you have one?" ”
The little beggar hesitated: "Yes...... No! ”
As he spoke, he wanted to run when he turned around, but Wang De grabbed his collar: "Isn't the dog a thief who thinks about Lao Tzu?" So abnormal! ”
The little beggar hurriedly begged for mercy: "The official spares me, the official spares me!" ”
"I have what I sell, and I have what I sell!"
Wang De threw him to the ground: "Earlier, the old man has his own discernment!" If you're a deceitful, I'm going to make you eat some fists! ”
The little beggar was frightened and frightened, and barely squeezed out a smile:
"At first glance, the official is from other places, and he is not very familiar with this Kaifeng."
"How can you tell? I'll tell you, I'm a regular visitor! Seven or eight times a year! ”
The little beggar poked his head over and looked at him from the bottom up:
"The official doesn't have to lie to me, the string of money you threw out is enough to buy an innocent girl!"
Hearing this, Wang De's heart couldn't help but ache, and he heard this humanity again:
"You look like you're from the south, and only the girls from the south are so valuable."
Wang De was seen through by him, and was a little impatient: "You say that what you sell is, where I came from has nothing to do with you!" ”
"I'm selling cheap."
"Cheap?"
The little beggar was not so scared at this time: "Eat and sleep, play fun and do things, but whatever you can do with a tael of silver in accordance with the rules, find me, only five hundred coppers are enough!" ”
Wang De stared at him for a while, and was about to scare him again, but heard Wang Qi say:
"You're so good? I want to walk around the city, do you know the way? ”
The little beggar was even more proud: "You report to the ground, and I can take you there with my eyes closed!" ”
Wang Qi nodded towards Wang Jungong, pulled the little beggar over, and spit out two words in a low voice:
"The Imperial Palace."
