I am Da Song

Chapter 17
Seeing the official family looking at the shops on both sides of the imperial street without blinking, Wang Zongmian brought the imperial equipment to Zhao Huan and asked, "The official family is hungry and thirsty? Do you need me to go and buy some food?"

Zhao Huan had a good impression of this imperial weapon, and his trust was not weaker than that of Zhang Shuye.

This was the first soldier who obeyed and supported him in the chaotic and dark environment last night.It was precisely because of his support that he was able to follow the law, execute He Li, the prime minister of the dynasty, and quickly set his position for the main battle.

When people of later generations read history books, they would always feel that a majestic emperor would not have one or two loyal people around him.

Zhao Huan felt that Wang Zongmian was the loyal minister beside Song Qinzong.If Song Qinzong also hanged on the crooked neck tree, then Wang Zongmian was Wang Chengen who could accompany Song Qinzong to die.

On this point, Zhao Huan was really right, although Wang Zongmian's reputation in the history books is not obvious.But after Song Qinzong entered the camp, he was the closest person he brought with him.He was also the one who conveyed Song Qinzhi's intentions to the city of Tokyo.Therefore, after Song Qinzong was imprisoned, when Wang Zongmian delivered the decree, he talked and wept.Everyone was surprised, and it was said that the official family had not been able to eat for three days in the Jin army.

Looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going on the side of the road, Zhao Huan smiled, which showed the benefits of the inner city being protected by the city wall.Compared with the dark and cold outer city, the inner city was less affected by the war and remained bustling and bustling.

Zhao Huan was in a good mood, so he replied, "That's good too. Let's take a look at the folk scenery by the way."

Wang Zongmian replied: "I am the most familiar with this Tokyo city. After the duty is over, I often meet with three or five shifts to come for a drink. To the south of Zhouqiao, there are century-old shops everywhere. In front of the official's house is Zhang. Next door is Wangloushandong Plum Blossom Steamed Bun, Lijiaxiang Shop, Granny Cao Meat Cake Shop, and Lisi Restaurant."

"Not far to the west is Quyuan Street. The Yuye liquor brewed by Yuxian Zhengdian on the street is a Tokyo specialty. There are also Xuejia Restaurant, Yangfan shop, and cooked mutton shop on the north side of the street..."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Huan raised his hand to stop this cold-faced and warm-hearted confidant, and said, "I've heard of all these shops, and I think you have the time to introduce them, why don't you go and buy some hot food?" return."

It can be seen that Wang Zongmian and Song Qinzong have a very close relationship at ordinary times, and they are not restrained. He said to Zhao Huan with a smile: "The minister must not know about the official family when he introduces them to the official family. The area to the west of these shops is full of prostitutes. Harmony) Courtyard, so people in Beijing call this place Courtyard Street.”

"Ahem, hurry up and buy food, don't talk nonsense." Zhao Huan glanced around pretending to be serious, I am an innocent boy, how can I humbly ask for advice on such a thing in public?

When the night is dark and the wind is high, take me directly!This Qingguan Huakui, which traverser does not have one or two as standard?
Wang Zongmian took two colleagues in front of the palace and rushed to the roadside shop, while Zhao Huan slowly put away the smile on his face.

The vulgar joke of the two men also showed the huge gap in realm.The so-called peerless beauty is nothing but a pink skull.What can really pass through the ages and shine a long history is that brilliant civilization.

The most popular beauty in the courtyard street, no one cares about it a hundred years later.And every shop mentioned by Wang Zongmian and the prosperous civilization of Tokyo in the Song Dynasty, after thousands of years, future generations will still be fascinated by the history books.

Not far from the brigade, Wang Zongmian rushed up from behind.Among the three, one carried leg of lamb, roast chicken, pancakes, and steamed buns packed in oiled paper, and the other carried an exquisite food box, which contained soup, golden silk party plum, lotus duck sticks, wine-roasted tripe, etc. There is a perilla fish.Wang Zongmian held a pot of Yuye wine in his left hand and a box of exquisite wine vessels in his right hand.

Zhao Huan asked in surprise, "Why did Qing bring the wine vessel back?"

Wang Zongmian was taken aback, obviously accustomed to this, and said: "In the capital, all the people who sell food and beverages in the capital store fresh and clean dishes and containers. He is a hotel owner, and he dares to sell three to five hundred yuan worth of wine when he sees people buying wine three or two times. The wine utensils of two silver coins are borrowed. I am a regular customer of Yuxian Zhengdian, even if I drank heavily all night, it’s okay if I can’t return the wine utensils on the same day, and the store will send someone to take them back the next day.”

Then Wang Zongmian winked at Zhao Huan and said, "The guests of the brothel (harmonious) house sent people to the hotel to ask for wine, and the hotel still sent them in expensive wine vessels."

Zhao Huan unwrapped the greased paper, picked up a piece of fat mutton and put it in his mouth. The gravy was fresh and tender, fat but not greasy. No wonder the scholars and bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty were obsessed with their tongues, and used most of the horse pastures to raise sheep. Leading to the desolation of horse administration.

After filling his stomach and alleviating his hunger, Zhao Huan thought about what Wang Zongmian said. He had long heard that there were takeaways in the city of Tokyo in the Song Dynasty, with an advanced civilization and a prosperous economy.Finally got to know it today.

It's just a trick of good fortune, Zhao Huan didn't expect that it was himself, a descendant, who was about to end this prosperous economy.

When the carriage arrived at Xuande Gate, Zhao Huan ordered Wang Zongmian: "Go and summon the left-behind prime minister and Yushi Zhongcheng to discuss matters in Mingtang."

The inside of the Song Dynasty was very extensive, not only the emperor's bedroom, but also the administrative center of the entire court. Almost all high-ranking institutions in the Song Dynasty had their offices here.

There are three gates on the south wall of the palace city, the Xuande Gate is in the middle, and the Mingtang is the most solemn building built by the feudal emperors on the left side of the Xuande Gate.It is self-evident that Zhao Huan chose to discuss matters here, which is to use the hands of the prime minister to issue government orders.

Enter from Yemen on the right side of Xuande Gate, and to the east are rows of central institutions of the Song Dynasty, first the Privy Council, and then the Zhongshu Sheng.These two institutions are close at hand, adjacent to the east and west, which is the most important east and west prefectures in the system of two prefectures and three divisions in the Song Dynasty.

After the Zhongshu Province is the Cidutang, where the prime minister governs affairs after he retires.Finally, it is the province under the door.Of course, these are just the contents of one direction. On the west side, there are also the Six Shang Bureau of Dianzhong Province, the Academy of Sciences, the Tongjin Division, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs (there is no mistake, it is called this strange name), Nei Zangku, Nei Gong There are dozens of institutions such as swords, guns, armors and armories.

After entering Xuande Gate, everyone split up and went in different directions.Zhao Huan went directly through the Xuande Gate and went to the Liushang Bureau of Dianzhong Province.Wang Zongmian went east from Youyemen, and went to Zhongshu Province, Cidutang and other yamen to look for the prime minister.

Wu Ge took a team of guards and went straight to the inner bow, sword, spear, armor and armory.How much leftover materials can be collected in the treasury will greatly affect the direction of the next battle to defend the city.

Putting aside the redundant bureaucracy of the Great Song Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty advanced in three directions. Some people were in charge of logistics, some were in charge of administration, and some were in charge of military affairs.
