Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 4 The determination to change the world

From Liu Tie's mouth, I learned that there are three markets in Luoyang, and commercial trade is concentrated in the three markets of Nanshi, Xishi and Beishi in the city.

Among them, Beishi and Nanshi are the main gathering places of Hu merchants. For the convenience of trade, the whole city is connected with canals and canals everywhere.

Luoshui Street is also called Luoshuifang City. It is located on the bank of the Luohe River and is the largest square city in Nanshi. There are residential areas nearby.

Wang Ping'an thought: "Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, a foolish emperor, did not do any good deeds, but he did some good deeds to benefit future generations."

The two came to Luoshui Street. In fact, Luoshui Jie was very close to the Escort Bureau. They were both in Nanshi, and they arrived within a few streets.Wang Ping'an was dumbfounded. There are many boats and people here, but those who wear silk and satin are all barbarians. The people of Tang Dynasty all wear a linen cloth.

"Uncle Liu, there are many people here, much more than the people at the gate of the city. But I found that Tang Dynasty is so poor, look at how nice the barbarian's clothes are."

"Hey, there is no way. The Tang Dynasty has just ended the war, the country has just stabilized, and the people have just escaped the suffering of the war. It would be nice to have enough food." Liu Tiehan said in a tone.

"So that's how it is, Uncle Liu. When I grow up, I will definitely let the people of Tang Dynasty have food and good clothes." Wang Pingan told Liu Tie his determination in the way of a child.

"Stupid child, this can only be done if you are an official, and you are a high official. But if you want to be an official, you must first be able to read and write." Liu Tie said admiringly, stroking Wang Ping'an's head.

"Reading and literacy, you can think about it, Uncle Liu, please help me introduce the best academy here, I want to study." Wang Pingan thought of future generations, the poor are afraid of the rich, and the rich are afraid of officials. Flow into the pocket.

Wang Pingan never thought about becoming a corrupt official, because this is the Tang Dynasty, a feudal society, and the ranks of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are very strict.You must never be a businessman, otherwise you will be caught in the future.

I can only take the imperial examination, which is my only way out in Datang.

"Okay, as long as you have the heart, uncle, I will help you. Come on, let's go shopping first."

"Okay, let's go shopping." Wang Ping'an clapped his hands and applauded.

As expected, it is the best square market in Nanshi. In addition to the large number of people, there are also many goods, especially these are antiques. Wang Pingan wants to see everything, but the prerequisite is that he can go back.

Looking east and west, Wang Pingan finally stopped at a slave trade.

"This guest, look, this is a dancer from the Western Regions. Do you want to buy one back? It only costs [-] pennies." The slave trader saw that Liu Tie and the others were watching, and immediately advertised for his slaves.

Wang Pingan saw that the slaves were all locked in a cage, shrinking their bodies submissively.

"There are still traffickers here." Wang Ping'an was shocked, this is a crime that the world cannot tolerate.

"Of course it can, but I have to go to the government for filing." Liu Tie replied calmly, taking it for granted.

"The Bian River flows, the Surabaya River flows, and flows to the ancient ferry in Guazhou. Wu Shan is a little bit worried. Thinking, hating, and not resting until the time you return, and the moonlight people leaning on the building." Wang Pingan left quickly after finishing speaking. This is the scene.

"The Bian River flows, the Surabaya River flows, and flows to the ancient ferry in Guazhou. Wu Shan is a little sad. Thinking, hating, and hating will not rest until the time of return. The moonlight people lean on the building." Liu Tie repeated Wang Pingan's poem in a soft voice. Where did such affectionate lines come from? Although he was curious, Liu Tie didn't intend to ask.

Wang Ping'an came to the side of the Hu merchant's boat again, and saw that the Hu merchant was introducing his products to someone, and many Hu merchants placed their products on the ground for people to watch and sell them by the way.

Wang Ping'an was very curious about what the Hu merchants in the Tang Dynasty were selling.Then he walked over: "I didn't expect Hu Shang to have a lot of things. Is this a gemstone? It's so big. It's a spice. Don't you have it in Tang Dynasty? This is ivory, this is precious. Eh, this is glass, so many times, This dagger is not bad, the workmanship on the scabbard is very beautiful..."

Wang Pingan looked at it and muttered, Liu Tie just looked at it from a distance, and didn't go in because he had no money, Hu merchants came here to sell things, can it be cheap?

Wang Ping'an also lost confidence after strolling around, he was very fresh about all the affairs of Datang.Since he has come to Datang, he will integrate into Datang, so he must be familiar with Datang.

To understand Datang, the main thing is to get in touch with the four classes, scholars, peasants, businessmen, and businessmen. Wang Pingan is the most familiar with these four classes.

Sergeant, I am still too young to contact.

Workers, you can know without touching them, they are craftsmen, and you will definitely need them in the future, so basically you don't need to know them this way.

Peasants are the current rulers of this world, the real wealth, and the class with the largest population ratio. It is easy to contact, but it is very difficult to understand deeply.

Seeing that Wang Pingan didn't buy anything, Liu Tie hissed. In fact, it wasn't that Wang Pingan didn't want to buy it, but that he didn't want to waste the money for the time being. It would be of great use to keep the money.

Wang Ping'an walked around Luoshui Street for a long time, and got a general idea of ​​it.Copper coins are mainly circulated in the market, one thousand copper coins are consistent, and silver can also be used to replace copper coins, depending on the quality, the ratio is also different, generally one thousand copper coins is one tael, but there are also five hundred for one of.

"It's almost dinner time, let's go to Juxianglou." Liu Tie said looking at the sky.

"Well, I happen to be hungry." Wang Pingan said while rubbing his stomach.

Juxianglou is one of the best restaurants in Nanshi, he is on Luoshui Street, Wang Ping'an and the others have almost arrived.It's just that Liu Tie mentioned it.

The two entered the restaurant, and when they arrived at the restaurant, the business of the restaurant was quite good, the waiter was busy coming in and out, and the guests were also coming in and out.

"Business here is good, do we still have seats?" Wang Pingan asked looking at the endless stream of people.

"Of course, the owner has already reserved a seat in advance, and that is the exclusive seat of our Zhenyuan Escort Bureau." Liu Tie said, pointing upstairs.

When the two came to the second floor, there was a waiter waiting at the stairs, specially to inform the shopkeeper downstairs that there were distinguished guests upstairs. At that time, the shopkeeper would come to police for a glass of wine to show his support for the shop.

When they came to the private room, someone had already arrived earlier, and that was Liu Han, who was also the old man's own son and the owner's uncle, so he called Liu Tie the eldest brother.

"Brother, safe, you are here, sit down quickly, the owner and everyone will be there soon." Liu Han stood up and said.

"Well, you can sit down too, have you ordered any food or drinks?" Liu Tie asked.

"Order, and serve when everyone is ready."

"Ah."

Wang Pingan looked at the busy downstairs from the second floor, and felt very novel. There were no delicious dishes on their tables, they were all steamed and grilled, and they were all big meat, but there was a jug of wine on the table.

"The food is not good, and I don't know how the wine tastes like." Wang Pingan secretly said.

"The owner and the others are here." Wang Pingan shouted.

Hearing Wang Ping'an's words, both Liu Tie and Liu Han stood up, waiting for Liu Honglei's arrival.

"Uncle Liu, Second Uncle, you are here early. Please sit down quickly, and everyone should sit down quickly." Liu Honglei called everyone to sit down.

"Xiao Er serves the food." Liu Han shouted loudly.

In less than a while, the food and wine came to the table one after another. Liu Honglei said to eat, and everyone ate without regard to their image, because they were all out in the rivers and lakes, so they had no image at all.

It's completely incomparable with the gentleness shown on TV. They gorge on food and drink, and don't even look at their chopsticks.All are torn and grasped by hand, without considering whether their hands are dirty or not, and whether they wash their hands after defecation.

Wang Pingan, seeing such a scene for the first time, he also wanted to participate in it, but when he saw their greasy hands, he immediately extinguished that momentum.

Wang Pingan could only pick up the wine glass and drink silently.

"puff……"

A mouthful of water sprayed from Wang Ping'an's mouth. His reaction caused the crowd who were robbing the food to burst into laughter. The food in their mouths fell on the table. Wang Ping'an was extremely disgusted.

"Nimma, what kind of wine is this? It's so bad, very irritable, and has a lot of impurities. It's not as good as the Erguotou of later generations, let alone the national wine." Wang Pingan cursed psychologically.

"It's all to blame for the wine. It's not good at all. It's better to brew it myself." Wang Ping'an didn't blush or breathe, and blamed all the faults on the wine.

"Ping An, do you know how to make wine?" Liu Tie's eyes lit up when he heard about it. He not only likes weapons, but also good wine.

"A little bit, Uncle Liu, you like to drink, I'll make it for you, but you need to prepare the tools first."

"Whatever you want, I can help you find it."

"There are not many things, just wooden barrels and a few hollow bamboo tubes..." Wang Pingan told Liu Tie what he needed for distillation.

Except for Liu Tie who listened more carefully, Liu Honglei and Liu Han also listened very carefully.Their vision is different from those of those bodyguards
