Chapter 095 Folklore, Economic Vitality
Along the Seoul River radius of dozens of miles, is more than ten times the ordinary residential square, all walks of life, two or three thousand to build a shop, neatly planned, horizontal and vertical as one, elm and willow shade, through the canal note.
Pawn shops, jewelry shops, jewelry shops, rouge houses, oil shops, salt shops, clothing cloth shops, etc., are dazzling.
They're just wandering around, mainly to see the excitement.
On the Seoul River, hundreds of nearly 1,000 boats are moored, and their white sails are like clouds, almost filling the river road, which is too spectacular.
Flying boats, lake boats, foothead boats, large beach cargo ships, boat boats and other boats, all kinds of boats, each with its own function.
At a glance, there is a sea of people.
Here gather a lot of business travelers from Tiannan and Haibei and Fanbang, all of whom come to rub the heat of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chang'an City.
It is said that the time limit of the ancient festival is half a month long before and after.
In ancient times, labor productivity was low, except for low-class people, servants and coolies, and generally wealthy families, most of them were bored and had nothing to do every day.
That's why this kind of hot scene is promoted.
Here, Hu merchants gathered, and people wearing exotic clothes could be seen everywhere, and most of them were accustomed to going back and forth here.
After all, over the years, the Empire of the Final Jin Dynasty has been in full swing, deterring Fanbang, and in the entire Eastern World, there is no country that can compete with it.
Emperor Qiye created a new situation, and after Emperor Jiye ascended the throne, he further relaxed the conditions for foreign business travel in Fanbang and came to the Central Plains to do business.
It embraces a wide range of cultural differences.
Confucianism, Dharma, Taoism and Fengtianism do not conflict here, and even Roman missionaries have many people living here.
It can really be called a hundred flowers blooming and coexisting.
At this time, there were many types of Hu merchants, including a few tribes in the Mobei grassland, such as Turkic, Hui, Tiele and others.
There are also Persian, Great Eclipse, Tianzhu, Roman, Sogdian and other races from the Western Regions.
Spices and curiosities are sold here, as well as silk, tea and other goods.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhi sighed greatly:
"If you don't come out for a walk, you don't know the reality, this is too lively, and there can be tens of thousands of people walking around!"
Cao Feilan is a beautiful girl, she has seen this meeting many times, and she has heard of some common sense.
She explained them one by one to the crown prince.
Here dignitaries, children of wealthy families, ladies and beauties, daughters, geisha in Qinglou, orchid girls, ordinary Chinese, peddlers and pawns, uneven.
The Final Jin Dynasty was similar to the Tang Dynasty, unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties, which had strict defenses for men and women.
Therefore, it is more common for women to go shopping here. Most women's dressing, like in film and television dramas, is an open-necked skirt with a half-breasted open neck.
Open-chested clothing was officially popular in the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, it's not something that everyone can wear.
One is a noble woman and a daughter of a famous family.
The other is a kahime maiko, which is dressed like in a brothel in a green house and welcomes customers.
Of course, the woman who went out to play followed the mansion and dressed a little restrained.
Most of the clothes worn when going out are short skirts with high waists, and the chest is also tighter, and men can't see anything famous if they want to peek at it.
Yuan Ze and they wandered along the banks of the Seoul River, and due to the large number of people, they were dizzying, and they stopped and stopped, and the speed was very slow.
It's late to go out, and it's noon in a blink of an eye, and it's time for lunch.
"Childe, there is palace food and drink on the back frame, is it?" Ding Jiu whispered in the prince's ear.
"No, let's find an exotic wine shop and enjoy it, since we come out to play, we have to play like a game."
The prince was in high spirits.
There is certainly nothing decent along the banks of the Seoul River, and there is one in the western side of the deep zone.
The people got into the carriage and went.
Ji Yi chose a wine shop with carved railings on the façade, which was a bit of an exotic setting.
This liquor store does not have a large number of customers, and it is relatively quiet and independent, which is convenient for the surrounding vigilance.
When the six of them entered the wine shop, they saw many young and beautiful, scantily clad and bewitching women of different races, interspersed between the wine tables, pouring wine and serving.
"This is a wine shop opened by Hu Ren, there are so many orchids who serve wine!" Luan Feng sighed.
"I've long heard that the restaurant opened by the Hu people can be served with wine and fun."
Yuan Zhi looked at Concubine Lan and the three of them, grinning evilly.
He learned in the book that during the Tang Dynasty, Guotai Min'an, and Hu people's business had formed a scale and characteristics, and the most opened were jewelry stores and wine stores.
Unexpectedly, in reality, this is really the case, and there are more than that.
In the Hu Ren wine shop, the orchid accompanies the wine, sings and dances, and afterwards, he will be rewarded with some money.
It means the same thing as tipping in later generations.
There are many tricks to accompany the wine here, it is very open, and the guests can touch it casually, just like the escort lady in the nightclub in later generations.
Of course, they also look at the object, like Yuan Zhi, they are three men and three women, and they are assigned in place, so there is no Hu Ji to tease, so as not to waste their expressions and be bored with themselves.
The wine and food here, accompanied by exotic red-sleeved beauties, will naturally attract drinkers.
Therefore, the special liquor shops of Hu Shang are getting bigger and bigger, and the grade is getting higher and higher, and it has gradually become one of the places for dignitaries and dignitaries and giant businessmen to have fun.
But in the restaurants and wine shops opened by these Hu merchants, Yuan Zhi gradually discovered a characteristic, that is, he could not see the men and women of the Han family, who worked as waiters and servants here.
Why is that?
Ji Yi, as a secret guard, is of course familiar with the reason.
After his explanation, Yuan Zhi knew that for thousands of years, Han culture and racial discrimination were vividly manifested here.
The Han family was the poorest, begging along the streets, and they were not allowed to work as servants or maids in the Hu merchants.
Otherwise, this Han Chinese and his family will be pierced through the backbone by their neighbors, or they will be inexplicably beaten to death in the street.
As for the Hu merchants, they didn't dare to accept Han people to come to the store or family as servants, otherwise, he would not be able to stay in Chang'an immediately, or he would be burned to the bottom inexplicably.
The six of them were in the Hushang Wine Shop, had a meal and drank at noon, and also watched the exotic songs and dances in the building, which was very enjoyable.
They ordered a number of kinds of drinks here to taste, but all the signature dishes of the wine shop came up.
There were also fruits etc, which were very comfortable to eat.
After a meal, Yuan Zhi left a gold baht and left.
In the afternoon, they walked to an open meadow at the east end of the Seoul River, where the scene of a mid-autumn night bonfire was set up by the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
During the day, the place is already covered with all kinds of self-built platforms.
They are all major businesses in the capital, and they were invited by the yamen to bring them in.
The goods coming from the south to the north will make the usually leisurely wilderness prosperous and chaotic.
Yuan Zhi was a little curious, Concubine Lan was well-informed, and she was a guide and commentator.
"Every year in the Mid-Autumn Gathering, the imperial court takes money to do it, but in recent years, Jingzhao Yin Mansion wants to let these big merchants pay for it to buy stalls and build a platform, which saves the court costs."
The buying position and setting up the platform that Concubine Lan said is exactly the same as the market economy of later generations.
I don't know which one Jing Zhaoyin came up with a brilliant idea, and he should enjoy a special reward for his advanced consciousness.
This is a talent who revitalizes the country's economy, and he is quite good at doing business.
Yuan Zhi slandered, and then called Ji Yi and asked him to turn around and tell Ji Hong which Jing Zhaoyin took the lead in this play, as well as the details of this person.
As a top priority, it is imperative that there are few talented people who can invigorate the economy.
