Chapter 243: The capital is prosperous

After a person and a cat disguised themselves, they all made a big change to themselves.

"Let's go, Ah Xuan."

Manager Shang put his hand on Li Xuan, and Li Xuan also jumped on Manager Shang's shoulder unceremoniously.

They left the room and went straight out the back door of the Ping An Trading House.

No one stopped them along the way, and no one looked at them more.

It seems that this Ping An firm has its own rules, and everyone walks with their heads down and focuses on their own things.

No one cast a strange look at this strange pair that suddenly appeared in Ping An Firm.

Coming out of a back door of the Ping An Trading House, there was already a carriage ready here.

This carriage was different from what they had driven from the palace, it was more austere, more like the kind of carriage and horse that it had borrowed at random.

There was a groom sitting in the car waiting, looking forty or fifty years old, with a sallow complexion, a thin body, and rough skin, and he looked like he was often begging for a living in the wind and rain.

Mr. Shang silently took Li Xuan into the carriage, and then the carriage began to start slowly.

The carriage was empty, there was nothing.

And as the wheels rolled, the interior of the car also bumped, which was not comfortable at all.

But Mr. Shang sat in the carriage with the old god in his presence and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Li Xuan naturally couldn't hold back, jumped down and ran to the window, and the person stood up, pulled the car curtain, and looked outside.

After all, it is the first time to go out of the palace and look at this huge capital.

Li Xuan is now looking at the stone bricks on the ground and feels a burst of rarity.

The back door of the Ping An Trading House was a silent alley, but in a short time, the carriage carried them to the lively street.

"That's a lot of people!"

Seeing the crowd of people outside the carriage, Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.

The roads in the capital are very wide, with shops and stalls on both sides, and pedestrians on both sides.

In the middle of the road, it is given to cars and horses, and there are even rules for passing on the right side, and you can't make a U-turn halfway, only at a wider intersection.

This makes it even more obvious that the traffic on this road is orderly.

Li Xuan also saw many fang markets along the way, all of which were surrounded by walls, but he could still see the buildings inside.

There are four square gates in the east, west, north and south, which are very conspicuous.

Some markets occupy a larger area, while others are smaller.

But it seems to be very lively inside, and there are some buildings that are different from the streets on both sides of the street, but I don't know what they do.

It can be clearly seen that the Fang Market is more lively than the street, and there are temples and Taoist temples in some Fang Markets.

You can see those special buildings from afar.

It's just that after observing along the way, Li Xuan found that there are many Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the capital, and even some Hu temples that can be seen from the architectural style.

"Daxing is very open in this regard."

It was the first time Li Xuan had seen these special buildings, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

The kitten's curious eyes peeked all the way behind the curtain.

The people I saw today alone probably exceeded the total number of people Li Xuan had seen in the palace before.

There is no way, there are too many pedestrians in the capital.

In addition, the sun is shining today, the sky is beautiful, and the capital is even more lively.

Looking at the scene in the capital, Li Xuan felt that Daxing's economy should not be much worse.

"With such a prosperous scene, it seems that Emperor Yongyuan still has two brushes."

The capital is full of people, and the shops on the side of the streets are dazzling, gathering products from all over Daxing, and commerce and trade are prosperous.

The streets are noisy with cars and horses, and from time to time people in rich clothes come and go.

This is only in the morning, and what kind of scene it will be at night, Li Xuan can't even think about it.

Just watched along the way, and the carriage soon drove to Boryeongfang.

When he arrived at Boryeongfang, Li Xuan felt the difference between Fang City and Fang City.

The previous Ping An Trading House was located in Guangdefang, very close to the western market of the capital.

The floor of Guangdefang is very neat, and the pavement paved with stone bricks is so flat that you don't feel any bumps in the carriage driving on it.

Moreover, the shops in Guangdefang are also decorated in style, so that people can know that this is the capital at a glance.

But this Boryeong Fang is a little different.

The ground is muddy, and the store is a broken storefront.

Even the air was filled with a foul smell.

It's hard to tell if it's the smell of feces or sweat.

When he came here, Li Xuan couldn't help frowning.

Unlike the polite merchants I saw in Guangdefang, Boryeongfang seems to be full of peddlers and pawns from all over the world, speaking difficult dialects from all over the world, and their gestures are full of roughness and arrogance.

There is a huge difference in the style of painting, but Li Xuan happened to see a merchant who had been seen in Guangdefang before, and they had almost arrived here.

Although it was the same person and wearing the same clothes, when he arrived here, he could obviously notice that this person's style of acting had changed greatly, and he naturally integrated into Boryeongfang, completely lacking the gentleness and elegance he had when he was in Guangdefang before.

"Interesting."

When Li Xuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but glance at the merchant more, but at this time, the man had already walked into a tavern with a few companions.

Their carriage passed the tavern, then made another turn in front of it before stopping in front of an inn.

【Boryeong Inn】

"The name of this inn is the same name as Fang Shi, but it is simple and straightforward."

Li Xuan knew that they should have arrived at the place.

Sure enough, Manager Shang took Li Xuan out of the carriage.

Xiao Er in front of the inn immediately greeted him with a look in his eyes, and hurriedly greeted:

"Master, slow down."

Xiao Er stepped forward to hold the hand of Mr. Shang, invited him out of the carriage, and then led him into the store while respectfully asking:

"Master, are you staying in a hotel or are you going to be sharp?"

After getting out of the carriage, he looked at the storefront of the Boryeong Inn, then nodded with satisfaction, and then threw a silver ingot to the coachman.

The coachman took the money, and quickly thanked him with a happy face:

"Thank you for the reward, if there is still a place to use the car, even send someone to send a message to the car and horse shop to find my old Song."

"I'll be there for you!"

The shopkeeper of the inn couldn't help but light up when he saw that Manager Shang was generous, and the smile on his face became even more flattering.

"Open a room for me, get me some food, and bring it to my room."

"Okay, sir, come with me."

The shopkeeper of the inn happily led them in, and Li Xuan obediently nested in the burden on the back of Manager Shang.

A merchant with a cat was a little conspicuous, so Li Xuan hid for the time being.

As soon as he entered the inn, the shopkeeper carried Mr. Shang on his back and squeezed his eyebrows at the shopkeeper behind the counter, obviously signaling.

The shopkeeper looked at him like this, and he didn't know that there was a high roller, so he hurriedly came out from behind the counter and greeted:

"Distinguished guests come to the door, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of ......"

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man who looked very shrewd, and he was very polite to Mr. Shang.

"Shopkeeper, this old man wants an upper room, you hurry up and arrange it."

"Good, good."

The shopkeeper said yes, and then hurriedly went around behind the counter and took the key to the No. 1 room in Tianzi.

"Hurry up and take the master to the No. 1 room of Tianzi."

The shopkeeper handed the key to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper immediately sang:

"Shopkeeper, please."

Under the warm hospitality of the shopkeeper, Mr. Shang soon came to the so-called Tianzi No. 1 room.

After Mr. Shang sent away the shopkeeper with a grain of broken silver, he released Li Xuan.

When Li Xuan came out to look at the No. 1 room of Tianzi, he couldn't help but tilt his head, full of confusion.

"That's it?"

"What else is the No. 1 room in Tianzi?"

The simple room is furnished with simple furniture, including a bed, a table and chairs, and a small wardrobe.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

Originally, Li Xuan thought that the Jingyang Palace they lived in was broken enough, but he didn't expect it to be really luxurious compared to here.

When Mr. Shang saw Li Xuan's disappointed expression, he knew what was going on.

"Ah Xuan, this Baoningfang is also a slum in the capital, and this inn is already good."

"You can't compare it with the conditions in the palace."

Although Li Xuan was a little disappointed, he couldn't say anything.

Anyway, they're here today for a task, not to enjoy it.

Moreover, when he came to Boryeongfang just now, he saw that this place was very close to the city wall, and it seemed that the slum of Mr. Shang should be true.

Manager Shang came to the window, pushed the window open, and then said to Li Xuan:

"Ah Xuan, let's take a look."

"Our goal is over there."

When Li Xuan heard this, he hurriedly climbed up to the window and followed Manager Shang's gaze.

They were on the second floor of the inn at this time, and there happened to be a grain store not far away, and the business was quite good, and there was a long queue in front of the door in the morning.

Look at the signboard again, it is the Siyun Grain Shop.

Li Xuan squinted his eyes and estimated that the distance between the Siyun grain shop and the inn where they lived was only about thirty or forty zhang in a straight line.

In this direction, there is the backyard of the inn, followed by some shops and houses.

If Li Xuan passed over from the eaves, it would be very convenient.

It seems that Mr. Shang has made sufficient preparations in advance and deliberately chose to settle down in this inn.

"Ah Xuan, let's step on it well during the day, and then start after it's late at night."

"If there is any situation, I can help you at any time at this distance."

With Mr. Shang as a backup, Li Xuan naturally has a lot of confidence.

He meowed to Mr. Shang, planning to go to the vicinity of the Siyun Grain Store now.

Manager Shang also immediately understood what Li Xuan meant, but he did not stop him, but instructed:

"Remember to stay away, there should be a master in the Siyun grain shop, as long as you don't take the initiative to show your strength, the other party shouldn't notice your existence."

Li Xuan was instructed, jumped out of the window, and walked along the eaves in the direction of the four grain shops.
