Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 770
Yuan Gai Suwen wanted to go out to have a look and inquire.

Yuan Taiyu nodded: "En."

Yuan Gai Suwen changed into a Tang-style gown, and even the hair accessories and accessories were changed into Tang-style.

After going out the door, Yuan Gai Suwen walked across two streets, saw a few people dressed like the Khitan clan from a distance, and walked up a few steps to meet them: "Everyone, I'm a businessman and I want to buy some horses. Good horse, I heard you have one."

These people are indeed Khitan people. After looking up and down Yuan Gai Suwen, one of them said: "Goguryeo, you don't buy horses in Liaodong, but you come to Chang'an. People like you are very dangerous, you don't seem to be a decent person, don't Talk to us."

After finishing speaking, these people left straight away, no matter what Yuan Gai Suwen called, no one paid attention to him.

Yuan Gai Suwen looked at himself up and down, his attire was that of a rich businessman in the Tang Dynasty, which was absolutely correct, and his accent was almost the same as that of ordinary people in Chang'an City, how could these people see that he was Goguryeo people.

Yuan Gai Su Wen wandered around like a headless fly for a long time, and finally saw a clue in Pingkangfang.

There is a sign in front of a courtyard in Pingkangfang, which says Dashiwei Guild Hall.Yuan Gai Su Wen stepped forward, but was blocked before reaching the door: "People stop here, but friends."

"No." Yuan Gai Suwen shook his head.

"Do you have an invitation letter?"

"No!"

"Then please leave, ordinary guests are not accepted here." When the man was speaking, two guards with short sticks came over. It was obvious that if Yuan Gai Suwen didn't leave, then they would resort to violence.

Yuan Gai Suwen took out a piece of silver: "May I ask a few questions."

That person first signaled the two guards to retreat, and then refused Yuan Gai Suwen's money.At the same time, he said: "We have rules, and we don't accept rewards from outsiders. Besides, there are rules in Chang'an City, gold and silver are not allowed to be traded, unless it is custom-made gold and silver coins. It is harming me to accept this small piece of silver from you."

Yuan Gai Suwen wanted to say something more, but that person had already signaled him to leave.

In any case, he is also the eldest son of the largest family in Goguryeo, and Yuan Gai Suwen can't be shameless to post it when others have already driven him away.

But what he didn't expect was that after going through several houses, none of them let him in.

An idea appeared in Yuan Gai Suwen's head, and this could not have been arranged by Tang Ren.

At the end of the street, finally a person in front of a family was willing to talk to him.

The name of Wuzhou Guild Hall is written on the door of this family.

Compared with other guild halls, this family seemed a bit deserted. The people at the door were sitting on the steps basking in the sun. Yuan Gai Suwen approached and asked, "Brother, can we have a chat?"

"Goguryeo people, come sit and bask in the sun and I'll get you a cup of hot tea."

The most incomprehensible thing for Yuangai Suwen is why he can tell at a glance that he is from Goguryeo.After he brought the tea in his hand, he asked this question.

"In Chang'an City, only the Goguryeo people don't wear pants. There are very few Baekje people in Chang'an, and even if there are, they are considered Goguryeo people. The Silla people in Chang'an wear another kind of half-Tang and half-Silla clothes. The rest All ethnic groups have their own national costumes, and some Tang people also like Turkic riding clothes. But they all have pants.”

"I..." Yuan Gai Suwen was about to pull up his long coat to show that he was wearing pants.

But the person in front of the door pointed at himself, and Yuan Gai Suwen stopped.Because his pants don't have a crotch, they are still open, and they need to be blocked by a skirt.

The boy in front of the door said again: "Also, in Chang'an, apart from Goguryeo, all the surrounding ethnic groups have their own guild halls. We don't have any people here because the wool season is here, and the first batch of people who will send wool over in a few days I will live in, and I want to chat with you, but I don’t have time.”

"Hall?"

"Yes, the guild hall. There are specially formulated laws in Chang'an City. The guild halls are built according to the folk customs of various ethnic groups. The folk customs in the guild halls are greater than the law. Except for the ten evils, everything that happens in the guild halls first follows the folk customs and then the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, each guild hall usually I also don’t like other ethnic groups to come to my guild hall, except for those who have good friends.”

Yuan Gai Suwen understood, and immediately asked: "Then is there a Silla Hall?"

"Yes, but the Silla Hall has been closed for renovations these days. I heard that there was a disturbance in Silla, and some people rebelled, so the Silla Hall closed the door under the pretext of renovation. The real Silla people came in through the back door, no Receive the Silla people in the rebel area. Silla merchants are the big business district in Guiguan Street."

Yuan Gai Suwen immediately asked: "Then what about our Goguryeo merchants?"

"You can see that this is the first time you have come to Chang'an. There are no Goguryeo merchants in Chang'an City. Even if there are, they are just a few small merchants, with a business of up to [-] yuan a year. They are called merchants, not merchants. Several of the merchants in Silla A top businessman, together, a million pieces of goods are handed over a year."

After asking, the boy in front of the door asked again: "What business do you want to do when you come to Chang'an?"

"I am a medicinal material." Yuan Gai Suwen made up one casually.

"Medical materials, this is a big business. But I heard that all the medicinal materials in Goguryeo are bought by Mohe people, and then sold to Tang Dynasty. You plan to come here and sell them yourself, which is very good."

The more Yuan Gai Su Wen chatted, the more shocked he became.

Because he found that the Tang Dynasty in his memory was completely different from the present, and the Tang Dynasty at this time was a completely strange country.

Not only are the various rules different, but also the clothing of the Tang people has undergone earth-shaking changes. When did nobles start to wear short clothes, and when did ordinary people ask about the regime.

What's even more astonishing is that there is at least 300 million medicinal materials traded in Chang'an City every year, which are bought by Mohe and Khitan people from Goguryeo, and then trafficked to Chang'an, and the income is more than twice that of Goguryeo people.

Yuan Gai Suwen asked again: "Then why doesn't our Goguryeo have a guild hall?"

"Then I have to ask you Goguryeo's short-witted officials and kings who don't have any brains. Last year in the Tang Dynasty, when Pingkang Square was remodeled, Liu Fuma proposed the idea of ​​the guild hall. Our prince, the governor of Wuzhou, was the first to snatch it for our Turkic people. When we arrive at this place, this is the most central street corner of Pingkangfang.”

"What about Goguryeo?"

"Everyone in the guild hall knows about this. A small official in Goguryeo went to the Ministry of Rites and asked for a plot of land for them free of charge. The people in the Ministry of Rituals didn't know about the guild hall, so they would tell the official in Goguryeo after asking. No way. "

The boy in front of the door laughed when he said this: "That stupid official, everyone bought the land by himself. He thought that the Tang Dynasty was the former Sui Dynasty, and the treasury was empty and he wanted to fill up the scene. He gave away everything for nothing. This is what you bought. Well, I bought the land and built it myself, and the courtyard is just like my own home.”

"He didn't buy it?"
