Self-cultivation migrant workers

After leaving the convenience, Ye Feng personally ordered some steamed buns and pickles for Xiao Ke'er, and sent her back to the carriage, while he graciously sat down with He Side and Kong Xiaolian, and started to gobble it up. .

Anyway, Ye Feng has a special status to Longhu Village at this time. On the surface, "Yan Xiaoliu" is just a low-level bandit, but in fact it is a secret mission planned by Emperor Qingzong, that is, to go to The special envoy from Miss Xiao's family in Chang'an will have to follow him everywhere in the future, so He and Kong didn't dare to show any disagreement, and they even poured wine for him and raised their glasses to each other.

The wine in the restaurants in this small town tastes a bit astringent and yellow in color, and the utensils used to hold the wine are all big green bowls. Although the alcohol content is not high in one bowl, if you drink it bowl after bowl, you don’t have a certain amount of alcohol. , I'm afraid I can't stand it.Even if Ye Feng didn't use his true energy to hangover, he could drink quite well, so when he drank with He and Kong, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage in the slightest.

"You, drink less, to avoid trouble on the road." Kong Xiaolian still didn't say much, but his meaning was very clear. He didn't let Ye Feng drink more, because he was afraid that he would pee more often on the road and cause trouble.

Ye Feng ignored him, and when the jar of wine was finished, he asked the boss to bring another jar, tore off the seal, and simply lifted the jar to drink.

Kong Xiaolian's eyes widened, and he seemed to get angry when he got up, but He Side next to him pressed him down, and said with a smile: "Master Kong, this kid is very angry with me when it comes to drinking, so let him go, he is drunk Now, we are more at ease."

After dinner, I continued on my way, stopping and stopping all the way without needing to watch carefully. After another two days, in the afternoon of the third day, I finally arrived at Chang'an, the capital of the Zhengtang Kingdom.

Looking at the majestic city walls around Chang'an City, Ye Feng was full of emotion. This is the appearance of the ancient capital city in history. It really is bold enough. This scene is like a dream, and it feels ethereal like the wind, but it is A real presence.

Chang'an City, its status is equivalent to the capital of Huaguo, but it is obvious that this ancient metropolis full of ancient style makes Ye Feng full of novelty and interest. Specialized stores for daily use, commercial use and home use abound. Ye Feng and his carriage enter the main street behind Chang'an City. At a glance, there are two rows of green, gray, brown and purple buildings in a row, which is hard to see. In the end, from five or six-story pavilion-style restaurants to small brick-and-tile wine shops and rice shops facing the street, business is booming and a thriving and lively scene.

Twenty-eight girls are not allowed to leave the house without authorization when they are waiting to get married. This traditional ancient thinking is completely untenable under the reality in front of Ye Fengyang. Look at the streets, alleys, and in front of the vendors. There are men, women, and children everywhere. Food, jugglers, and drivers; shouts, sales, and greetings, one after another, just like a realistic version of the Qingming Riverside Picture, those young girls, blue silk plain clothes, silk flower brocade handkerchiefs, laughing and laughing , those handsome young men, those simple peasants, or civilian clothes, or sons and farmers, or folding fans and hoes, or black-faced oily heads, their status may be different, but blending with the world, it is the most realistic scene portrayal of life.

This is a strange world, but it is also a real world. For Ye Feng, this is an ancient world that can only appear in imagination, TV, and novels. But for people in this world, This is reality, this is life.

After chatting with Xiao Ke'er for a few more words, Ye Feng learned that Chang'an City is not only the capital of the Zhengtang Kingdom, but also a major commercial city, so the customs clearance procedures are not very strict. Merchants from Da Zhou and Daliao can come and go freely. Han people accounted for [-]% of the population. Although the proportion of the population is large, most of them are ordinary laborers. Except for the royal family of Li, most of the real powerful and wealthy people in the city are from heaven. The outer sect forces stationed in Chang'an Caicheng by Xuanzong.

As soon as he entered the periphery of Chang'an City and saw the bustling crowd outside through the window of the carriage carriage, Ye Feng couldn't help sighing: This is a big city, and the population size alone is beyond the reach of those small counties and towns on the road. Comparable.

In the street outside, besides pedestrians, there were many sedan chairs and carriages, some with two bearers, and some with four bearers, and the size and appearance of the sedan chairs were also different.The size, shape, and scale of the carriages are also different. Judging from the situation, it seems that the carriages are like modern cars, and they are exclusive to those who have some money and status.

Ye Feng made some conclusions based on his limited historical knowledge. In ancient times, ordinary rich people, even county magistrates, could not afford a carriage. Sometimes magistrates needed to go to special places for renting horses and carriages when they went out for business. It costs a lot of money to take a taxi. If a horse is sick and has a convulsion or something, it is a one-way car with no return. If you want to come back, unless you can take a taxi or horse again, you can only walk. Most officials and lords in China like to take a sedan chair, and rent a few bearers temporarily, which is safe and saves money. Over time, sedan chairs become more popular than horse-drawn carriages.

Of course, the above are just some historical knowledge that Ye Feng acquired by accident in his familiar time and space, and it was the situation in the early Sui and Tang Dynasties. The official road is convenient for carriage and horses to travel.But this is a country of different planes after all. Not only the big families are equipped with many luxuriously furnished carriages, but even ordinary small families can raise their own horses and carriages.

That's why when Ye Feng entered Chang'an, he would see this kind of bustling scenes of people riding in cars.

Everything in front of me is enough to prove that maybe this land has had wars and turmoil before, or there may still be a day when there will be wars as long as there are human beings and interests, but at least for now, no matter whether this era is In the era he was familiar with, the city of Chang'an displayed in front of Ye Qingyu's eyes was a scene of peace and prosperity. The people here were essentially the same as the modern people of Huaguo he was familiar with. Fall and rest, how to live, how to live.

"Xiao's shop, we're here, get out of the car." While Ye Feng was still feeling emotional, Kong Xiaolian's voice came from outside the carriage.

Kong Xiaolian seems to be a man of few words, but he is actually very shrewd. He made all the itineraries on the road. He arrived at Chang'an City in the shortest time by taking the shortest route, and he was able to find Xiao Ke'er without Xiao Ke'er leading the way. The location of the shop is really smart enough.

After getting off the carriage, seeing Xiao Ke'er's body trembling, Ye Feng also understood her mood.The so-called Xiao's family's An Fen shop is actually not a simple shop, but looks more like the mansion of a wealthy family. The Xiao family's mansion is indeed quite imposing, occupying a huge area, with a tall The cyan wall stretches and stretches, enclosing the entire Xiao mansion, and the location of the mansion is quite good, that is, it is not in the downtown area, but it is also close to the downtown area. From the four directions of Xiao's house, you can walk into a busy place , the end is the best location.

As a businessman of the Great Liao Kingdom, being able to own such a large mansion in the Zhengtang Kingdom shows how powerful the Yelang and Xiao family's connections and financial resources are.

But what Ye Feng didn't know was that the Xiao family's mansion was not the city center he imagined, but the suburbs. The status of businessmen is relatively low these days. The Liao Kingdom now also attaches great importance to commercial development, but traditionally the status of merchants is still inferior to the official family, not to mention that this is a world dominated by cultivation sects and practitioners, whether it is officials, merchants or the army, their social status cannot be compared Various factions of comprehension.

Ye Feng is not very good at appreciating ancient buildings. The four corners of the walls of commercial houses are actually round and have no edges and corners. This is the biggest difference from official houses. Courtyards are not even comparable to the height of the doorsteps of ordinary people's homes, let alone compared with official residences. This is the characteristic of commercial residences.

Ye Feng doesn't understand these things, he just thinks that the Xiao family is really majestic. The most distinctive thing is that the Xiao family built the mansion beside an inland river in Chang'an City, leading the river into the house, watering the flowers and grass, and the gurgling water. There is a home in the river, and there is a river in the home. It is indeed a wonderful match.
