Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 3

"Bring out your entry voucher."

Chang'an City, in front of Mingde Gate.

A prison guard checked the wooden household registration tag Li Huaian carried and let him go.

During the whole process, Li Huaian was not asked to produce other documents for entering the city, such as road guides, but road guides should only appear in the Ming Dynasty. As an official travel pass, in the Tang Dynasty the travel pass should be called a pass, and Public verification, waiting for some passes issued according to different identities.

The reason why the prison gate did not check Li Huaian's other documents besides his household registration.

This starts from when you first get your household registration certificate.

After Li Huaian came down from the mountain, he found Li Zheng in the village and got the household registration certificate he was longing for. He then proposed to Li Zheng the idea of ​​going to Chang'an City to have a look, and wanted Li Zheng to help him with the travel documents.

When I was in the main world, I checked relevant information on the Internet. It was a very troublesome thing for ancient people to travel far away. The place of residence required a joint guarantee for those who wanted to travel far away, and they needed to issue valid travel documents. , you can only leave the jurisdiction of the state capital where you live after obtaining the documents.

Without a document issued by the local state capital, ancient people could not travel far away at will.

However, the answer that Li Huaian didn't expect was that he didn't need paperwork to enter Chang'an City.

According to Li Zheng's explanation.

As the territory under the jurisdiction of Chang'an City, people under the jurisdiction of various counties do not need travel documents if they want to enter Chang'an City. They can enter Chang'an City as long as they carry their household registration certificate with them.

Only those people who are outside the boundaries of Chang'an City and under the jurisdiction of other state capitals will need to issue a travel document for inspection purposes when entering Chang'an City.

In addition, when foreigners came to the Tang Dynasty, they also needed another kind of document to enter the Tang Dynasty.

In the same way, if people under the jurisdiction of Chang'an want to go to other state capitals, they also need a travel document issued by the local government so that people under the control of Chang'an City can go to other state capitals.

In general, as long as you are traveling within the boundaries of Chang'an City, you only need a household registration certificate and do not need a travel document from the government. Unless you want to go to other state capitals, you need to apply for a travel document from the government.

The same reason.

If someone runs out of the jurisdiction of their household registration without travel documents and is caught in another state capital, they will be severely punished and may also affect their family members.

Pass through the Mingde Gate.

It was the first time I walked into Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty, the first time I was in the ancient Chang'an City, and the first time I personally experienced the giant oriental city more than 1000 years ago.

His eyes were filled with worship of his ancestors.

One hundred and eight squares correspond to one hundred and eight stars.

Li Huaian recalled in his mind some information about Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty that he had found in the main world, and kept sightseeing in the streets between various cities.

Until tired of walking.

I also had a preliminary glimpse of the scale of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty.

have to say.

Only when you come to Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty world can you realize that there is a big difference between the imitated Tang Dynasty buildings in the main world and the real Tang Dynasty buildings. Many of them have lost the charm of the Tang Dynasty buildings and have lost a lot. smell.

In particular, those who say that if you want to see the architecture of the Tang Dynasty go to Washima, they are simply farting.

The charm of Tang Dynasty architecture cannot be imitated by Wadao.

Tucao finished.

Li Huaian thought of business.

Start looking for a pawn shop or something like that.

"Shop, let's see how much I can pawn this item for."

In a mortgage (pawn shop).

Li Huaian placed a small cloth bag that looked like a money bag on the counter of the pawn shop and looked at the clerk at the counter. The bag contained a glass bead with a diameter of two centimeters.

As for other glass products, they are still placed in the system warehouse and have not been taken out.

It was my first time pawning something, and I was still a little unsure deep down.

Li Huaian planned to use a glass bead to test the water in the Tang Dynasty world.

"Later, guest, I will ask someone to inspect the goods for you." After a while.

An old man came to the counter, glanced at the bag on the counter, and judged from the shape of the bag that it was a bead. Then he looked at Li Huaian outside the counter and said slowly: "The customer wants to pledge this bead."

"Of course." Li Huaian nodded, who would come to the pawn shop without a mortgage.

"Please wait for me to take a look."

The old man picked up the cloth bag on the counter, first weighed it in his hand, and then tried the feel through the cloth bag, then found a tray from the side and poured out the beads in the bag.

As soon as the glass beads were poured out of the bag, they began to roll back and forth in the tray.

"Walk."

The old man, who was originally calm, immediately enlarged his eyes after seeing the beads. He stared at the beads in the tray and subconsciously exclaimed.

Fortunately, the old man had decades of experience. He had seen and handled many good things, so he suppressed the shock in his heart, blurted out only one word, and swallowed all the words that followed. .

After relaxing for a while.

The old man picked up the beads and looked at them carefully, murmuring in his heart.

"It is rare in the world to be so round and round. I'm afraid I can't find another one in Chang'an City. Looking at the quality of this bead, it is still a glass bead. What's even more rare is that it is so big without a trace of impurities. It can be called The most precious treasure of Buddhism.”

"If this can be accepted, the head of the family will definitely be happy."

While thinking about it, his eyes occasionally glanced at Li Huaian outside the counter.

He looked carefully at the beads in his hands.

The old man took a piece of silk handkerchief and put it on the tray, and then carefully placed the beads on the tray covered with silk handkerchief. After doing all this, he looked at Li Huaian with a kind face.

"Guest, the beads are good beads. They are rare to see in Chang'an City. This old man is also eye-opening."

"As long as they are good beads, please give me an estimate at the counter."

Li Huaian didn't care whether this glass bead was rare in Chang'an City. He only cared about how much money he could use as a mortgage for this glass bead in the pawn shop in the Tang Dynasty, so that he could have money to move around Chang'an City.

Anyway, to him, this glass bead only cost one or two yuan, and it would probably be cheaper wholesale.

"The price is easy to say. My pawn shop is the one with the most fair prices in Chang'an City. Naturally, I won't owe you the guest. I just want to ask, can you tell me the origin of the guest guest's object?"

The old man asked the question he was most concerned about. Such a pearl could not be owned by ordinary people. As far as he knew, not even the royal family of the Tang Dynasty might have collected glazed beads of this kind. I am afraid that only those famous families with thousands of years of history could collect them. Only noble families have collections.

If the glass bead in front of you comes from the wrong way, you may get into some trouble if you put it away.

Although these troubles are nothing to the background of Dianpu.

But it’s a good reason to lower the price, isn’t it?

"Why, the pawnshop of yours won't accept it if it comes from a bad origin?" Li Huaian asked back.

The old man smiled and said: "That's not the case. Let me ask you, sir, don't worry. I can't worry too, right?"

Li Huaian nodded and said: "This bead comes from overseas. I got it from a Persian businessman. I heard that the Persian businessman said that it was bought with a lot of money from a place in the far west called Venice."

This reason was also thought out in advance.

In ancient times, most of the glazed products in the Central Plains Dynasty seemed to come from overseas.

So he told half truths and half lies about the origin of the glass beads.

As for believe it or not.

Li Huaian could not force the other party to believe in the origin of the glass bead.

If there is an accident.

Big deal.

Just treat this move into Chang'an City as a failed attempt.

Return directly to the main world
"I wonder what kind of pledge method the guest officer wants?"

　What is the name of the pawnshop inspection in the Tang Dynasty? I can't find it. Chaofeng is from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Can anyone tell me?
