Chapter 58 The City of Hangzhou
"This is a little bit of a little monk who does not despise the little thing, today I saw the prosperity of Hangzhou City and felt it, so that the Dongpo monks smiled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Saying that, Zhao Mingjian turned his head to look at the city gate of Hangzhou, and began to try his best to change the topic, he didn't want Su Shi to continue to talk about the topic and stay here, otherwise Su Shi would let him have fun at that time, and he wouldn't be able to think of a song.
"Dongpo layman, this is only coming back from outside?"
"Eh, yes, this is going to be the Spring Festival again, but it makes the people miserable! There are many natural disasters and heavy taxes, which makes the people have the atmosphere of the New Year, eh......" Su Shi began to sigh as soon as he talked about his own affairs, as a parent official, he saw that the people of Li were suffering, and they couldn't have a good year for a year, how could they have a good mood.
Zhao Ming couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the flowers in the city of Peizhou, the city, and the desolate scene outside the city.
Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the scene when he met Shushen's mother and daughter: "It's really hard for the people to prosper, and it's hard for the people to die!"
When Su Dongpo next to him heard Zhao Ming's sigh, he suddenly looked at him and said: "The little master has hit the key! At this time, the country is in a state of internal and external troubles, and the wind and rain are shaking, but in the end, it is the people who suffer!" Su Shi couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.
Just when Zhao Ming was about to pick up, Su Shi's face changed and said to Zhao Ming: "Little master, please remember that what you just said is only known between you and me, and you can't write those poems just now in the future, even if you say it, don't record it in words, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
When Zhao Ming saw Su Dongpo's serious expression, his heart immediately tightened, isn't this just like the original literary prison? Isn't this the most likely thing to happen between the change of dynasties?
But then I thought about it, what kind of person is I? Even if I enter the six gates, I am not a person from the court, why should I care about this, the big deal is to take the people I care about to go away when the time comes, although my hometown is in this land, but it is not the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ming's heart for the survival of the Great Song Dynasty naturally does not have the kind of sadness about the destruction of the country and the family.
However, Zhao Ming was still full of gratitude to Su Shi for being able to remind himself in such a situation, after all, the choice made by anyone who encountered this kind of thing when they met for the first time was also wise to protect themselves and not let themselves be implicated.
"The little monks remember the words of the laymen, and these little monks are still saved. ā
Su Shi was very satisfied with Zhao Ming's answer when he heard Zhao Ming's words, after all, the biggest shortcoming of young people is that they are easy to be impulsive, and it is not easy for Zhao Ming to understand and follow the meaning of his words.
"Well, the little master doesn't have to be polite, in fact, this is just worrying about the sky, the current Emperor Zhezong is still clear, and he is in this turbulent era, but I still believe that he can be a master of Zhongxing. ā
Speaking of this, Su Shi's eyes were full of determination.
Zhao Ming couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, Su Shi is not him, Su Shi has feelings for the Great Song Dynasty, and always thinks that the Great Song Dynasty will not change hands so easily, just like Wang Jiantong, the current leader of the beggar gang, who will take the maintenance of the Great Song Dynasty as his own responsibility, but they never thought that this country is already full of holes, and those prosperity are just the appearance.
However, Zhao Ming was fine, and he didn't compete with Su Shi, so he said, "I hope so!"
Su Shi didn't listen to the sigh in Zhao Ming's tone, and said firmly: "It must be." ā
"By the way, the little master must have no place to stay in Hangzhou City for the first time, so it is better to go to my Taishou Mansion to live temporarily!"
Zhao Ming's heart moved when he heard Su Shi's words, but after thinking about it, he shook his head. said: "Don't bother the layman, the little monk will stay in the capital for a while and leave, don't trouble the lord too much." ā
Su Shi saw that Zhao Ming refused and didn't force it anymore, nodded and didn't say anything.
In this way, the two said goodbye, and Su Shi rode a high-headed horse to the city.
Zhao Ming looked at Su Shi's departing back, looked at his silver hair, and couldn't help sighing.
"Sure enough, there is the kind of 'old man talking about juvenile madness' in the words. ā
Zhao Ming waited until Su Shi entered the city before driving his horse to the city gate.
The city gate guards also saw that Zhao Ming and Taishou had a very happy conversation, and no one dared to come up to collect Zhao Ming's entrance fee, so Zhao Ming drove straight into the city.
"Hey, it seems that the prosperity of Hangzhou City is not accidental, there is no entrance fee, it seems that it is really different from other cities!" Zhao Ming thought about it, and no matter why those people stared at him, he forgot and went directly into the city.
If those guards knew that because they confiscated Zhao Ming's entrance fee, they would probably have to cry if they let him have another opinion about Hangzhou City.
"Are we not willing to take it? You and Taishou are chatting at the gate of the city, when we are all fools......
Zhao Ming entered the city, but saw a prosperous scene completely different from the capital.
Behind the prosperity of the capital is its own irreplaceable order, and it must be in this context under the supervision of the six doors to present such prosperity. But the city of Hangzhou is completely different, the prosperity of Hangzhou lies in its environment, its geographical location is on a commercial artery, can bring economic income to the people here, just like the economic development of the city in the previous life.
Zhao Ming walked on the streets of Hangzhou, looking at the shopkeepers on both sides and the roadside stalls, which was a scene that could not be seen in the capital.
Zhao Ming led the horse and interspersed in the crowd, filled with the sound of laughter, Zhao Ming was not in a hurry, just walked all the way and watched.
Zhao Ming saw the inn after walking for nearly half an hour, not that there were few inns here, but that the front was crowded with people, it was noon at this time, and it was the New Year, the pedestrians and shops in Hangzhou City, the original businessmen were so many, and the people near the city gate looked full.
Zhao Ming looked at the environment of this store, it was not bad, but the geographical location was a little remote, so the business was average, but Zhao Ming didn't care, he wasn't in a hurry to leave, since he was going to stay here for a few days, of course he wouldn't care about this.
When Zhao Ming first arrived at the door of the inn, the shopkeeper was waiting at the door, but Zhao Ming didn't go in for a long time.
Just as Zhao Ming was leaving, the shopkeeper ran over and grabbed the reins in Zhao Ming's hand and led the horse to the stable.
Zhao Ming didn't care, he just saved his own business.
Zhao Ming lifted his feet and walked in, and a person inside saw Zhao Ming coming in and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The guest officer is please, I don't know if the guest officer is sharp or staying in the hotel?"
Zhao Ming looked at this person's dress and knew that this must not be the shopkeeper.
"You're the shopkeeper?"
The man was stunned when he heard Zhao Ming's words, and quickly reacted and said, "Exactly, the small one is the owner of this shop." ā
"Why did the shopkeeper come out to pick up customers, isn't there a shopkeeper?" Zhao Ming looked at this person suspiciously.
I saw the boss sigh.
"The second shop is a dog, the little master doesn't know, this shop is located in a remote area, and the business is not very good. ā
Seeing Zhao Ming's puzzled eyes, the man hurriedly continued: "If this is said to be in the countryside in other cities, but where is this? This is Hangzhou City, the prices here are not comparable to other places, and if you want to maintain here, you must always store some valuable ingredients, although those merchants have no status, but they are the richest, their mouths are very mouthful, if there are no dishes that they feel good, they will not come to you, so my small shop has gradually become what it is today." Speaking of this, the boss couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Ming saw that although the boss was clean and neat, there were indeed only a few guests, and they were all ordinary regulars, so he knew at a glance that it should be a resident of this neighborhood.
Zhao Ming looked at it and shook his head.
"If it's so hard to make ends meet, why don't you move out?"
"How can you turn it, this is a small family ancestral shop, originally this place was also very prosperous, but who knew that in my generation it would decline, eh......"
Zhao Ming looked at the boss and couldn't help but sigh with regret.
