Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 403 Changes in Chang'an

Under the protection of the mighty army, Qin Hao and the others finally returned to Chang'an City.

The reason why there is a mighty army is because although Liaodong is a small country, there are many. Yuangai Suwen brought [-] horses, Jin Shunde brought [-] horses, and even Emperor Tuigu specially brought [-] horses Together with them, they met the Khitan Khan on the road, together with the army led by Xue Wanche, they suddenly asked them to assemble a large cavalry team.

In a blink of an eye, it has been four years since Qin Hao, and Chang'an City is also changing with each passing day. There are more than 300 million Han and Hu people living in the city. I heard that the real estate market has been so hyped that the imperial court has no choice but to suppress it.

After meeting Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, he first talked about some official affairs in the Liaodong area, and then chatted about their feelings for a while. Qin Hao also hugged Li Chengqian's newborn son. Everything was so harmonious. He followed Qin Hao around Chang'an City, saying that Chang'an had changed too much in the past few years so that he might get lost.

The 40 squares in Chang'an are planned according to the shape of a chessboard. This kind of urban structure will not let go of four years, and there will be no possibility of getting lost after returning for [-] years. But is this also a means for the Crown Prince to win over the ministers?

Generally speaking, it is a flattering thing for the other ministers to accompany the prince to go shopping in person, and this method is indeed quite clever, but for some reason, Qin Hao always feels unhappy.

Because... it's a bit deliberate.

This made Qin Hao feel that the relationship between him and Li Chengqian was more and more like an ordinary relationship between a monarch and his ministers. The brotherhood that used to be, seemed to be getting more and more indifferent with the passage of time.

However, the changes in the Tang Dynasty are indeed quite big. Last year, because the imperial court had too much money, it even paid for it from the treasury for the first time to renovate all the old houses in Chang'an City. What is even more miraculous is that the imperial court He even agreed to the rules of monopoly in the east and west cities and the rules of opening the door on the street.

Originally, Chang'an City was only able to buy things in the east and west cities, but in the past two years, with the increase of maritime trade in Chang'an, even the Silk Road with merchants from the Western Regions has been rolling upwards, so now the West Market Merchants seldom do retail business now. Individual customers are generally unwilling to receive them when they come in, and it is uncomfortable for customers to buy by themselves. Except for Qingbang Supermarket, Chang’an people rarely enter the store. Even the supermarket actually sells three melons. There are not many pure retail dates.

In addition, the new population in Chang'an was too large, so after much deliberation, the imperial court finally decided to cancel the monopoly of the east and west markets. The west market was responsible for wholesale, and the east market had nothing to do with ordinary people.

Then, all kinds of shops appeared on the streets of Chang'an City, whether they sell cloth or fried oil cakes. Sometimes it doesn't feel like traveling in the Tang Dynasty, but like old Beijing. , making him feel fresh in everything he looks at.

Walking on the street, I couldn't help thinking of the time when I first entered Chang'an as a Feng Yanlang, so I sighed: "I don't know what Pingkangfang looks like now."

Li Chengqian also showed a wretched smile and said: "To be honest, I haven't been to that place for many years, and I'm quite curious, how about we..."

Qin Hao shyly said: "This...not good, you are His Royal Highness, and even I am the Duke of the state, so going to that kind of place now, isn't it a little...so what?"

Li Chengqian was also shy, and said: "Isn't this... entertaining an old friend whom I haven't seen for a long time? Don't you know? Ma Zhou has been promoted again, and now he is working in the Ministry of Education. If the leader takes office, there will inevitably be some mistakes, you old leader is concerned about the current situation of the Fengyan Yamen, so go to inspect the work, there is always no problem."

Qin Hao nodded very seriously when he heard the words and said: "So it turns out that this kid, Changsun Chong, has never been as prudent as Ma Zhoulai. The most important thing, why don't you follow me to inspect the work?"

Li Chengqian also said solemnly: "It is the duty of this prince to observe and study politics. Brother Zhenheng, please."

"His Royal Highness, please first."

Then, the two of them swaggered into Pingkangfang.

As soon as I entered Pingkangfang, I found that the appearance of this place has changed a lot. Although there were many bearded women in the past few years, it seems that most of them were Tang women or pretending to be Tang women. Not long after Tang girls came out for sale, you could see skins of various colors and hair of various colors all over the street, and what they could sing and recite were all Tang dialects.

I’m afraid of subdividing things like the market. Once it’s subdivided, what was originally boring becomes interesting. I remember when I came here a few years ago, the women in Pingkangfang were only divided into two types: Hu women and Tang women. Think about which country and race you are from.

It’s different now, the black-haired ones and the yellow-haired ones have begun to be sold separately, and you can hear them shouting on the road.

"Tie Le's Tie Le's, fair skin, beautiful skin and soft waist."

"Sogdi's Sogdian, it's good to play, play, sing and dance~"

"Khitan's Khitan's are wild and have strong legs."

"Goryeo's Goryeo, gentle and virtuous with a soft voice."

"Nanyue's Nanyue's is petite, cute and obedient."

"Kunlun slave, Kunlun slave, uh... It's cheap~"

…………

Not only has the classification of races become more detailed, but even the storefronts seem to have become more charming. Some of them look like tents joined together. Through the sunlight, it seems that the men and women inside can be seen moving. Obviously This is playing the prairie style.

Qin Hao couldn't help complaining: "It's really creative. By the way, His Royal Highness, if you become a saint one day and let all countries send a princess to build such a courtyard of nations in your harem, it must be very interesting to think about it." For fun."

Li Chengqian seemed very tempted, but after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head decisively and said, "No, when a minister like your master comes out, he must be scolded to death."

Simply made a joke, it seems to be a little closer to Li Chengqian, the two just walked and chatted all the way, but they didn't really have sex with any girl. With their identities, they didn't come here to find a woman, mainly because they were really curious Just watch the fun.

As I was walking, I saw a strange-looking courtyard in front of me, with the words "Odd Goods Yard" written on it. The door was not open to welcome customers in broad daylight, and it didn't look like a place to receive customers.

Qin Hao was curious, so he knocked lightly on the door, wanting to ask what the yard was for, when he saw a fat lady opened the door, and it turned out to be a person from Tang Dynasty miraculously.

"Are you two here to buy someone? May I ask which building you are a distinguished guest from?"

In a word, Qin Hao's face turned green immediately.

This yard looks really familiar. There are twenty or thirty large tanks in the yard.
