back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 763 What a fan tower

Lu Chengqi noticed that what he was selling were some gadgets, equivalent to ancient toys.For example, rattle drums, Kong Mingsuo, paper harriers, bird whistles (a kind of whistle), clay figures, stuffed dolls, diabolos, hanging tigers, big lions (and hanging tigers are both types of masks), jumping white ropes ( Jumping rope), playing chicken (shuttlecock), nine chains, backgammon... Lu Chengqi thought that he would soon become a father, and asked, "Brother, do you need to pay for setting up a stall here?"

"Yes, why not? One is the stall in Dazhuangyan Temple, and you have to pay for renting it; the other is commercial tax, which is collected by the household department officials..." The hawker knew everything, and Lu Chengqi nodded, knowing that the household department was still very happy. Dutiful.

"Then is there anyone who dares to bully the market?"

The peddler said with a smile: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, who has the guts of a bear and a leopard to dare to act so recklessly? Even those officials have a lot of rules."

"Then the Ministry of Household Affairs doesn't know how much you sold, how can there be a tax collection law?" Lu Chengqi was very puzzled.

"The officials don't know that, just like booth fees, this business tax is also fixed. For good booths, you have to pay more; for inside booths, you pay less."

Lu Chengqi nodded, and it would be better to charge according to the booth, so as to save trouble: "How much money do you have to pay in total?"

"Not much, not much, it's about a hundred or ten coins. In a day, you can earn two or three pennies. After removing these, you can still earn a lot, and you can support your family..."

Lu Chengqi nodded, this tax rate can be regarded as humane.He picked up a Kongming lock with great interest, looked at it, and said, "Brother, my son and daughter are about to be born, so I can help you. Gao Hao, buy each of these things!"

The peddler was overjoyed: "Thank you, officer!"

Originally, the peddler didn't intend to solicit business, he just thought that if someone came up to chat, he would be happy to deal with it.After all, it’s almost noon, and the adults who take their children out to play all go home to light the fire, or eat at the foot shop, so why would they go to the temple fair?When the temple fair is really lively, it is at night when the lights are brightly lit.After a day's work, the adults are happy to take the children out to play.Most of the people in Chang'an are relatively well-off, and some small toys are still willing to buy for children.

But the peddler never thought that this luxuriously dressed young master would have a child. Although he was still in the womb, this also made the peddler who had always had a vicious eye go wrong.However, he accidentally achieved a business by inserting a willow, so naturally he would not push the God of Wealth outside.Enthusiastically packed the cloth bag for Lu Chengqi, and put all these gadgets in it.After the goods and money were settled, the peddler sent Lu Chengqi and his party away with a smile on his face, and then happily returned to the stall, thinking about how much money he had just made.

The business just now has already made three rounds of money. If such big customers come to help every day, wouldn't it be possible to buy a shop in Chang'an City soon?The peddler shook his head, knowing that he was daydreaming, how nervous the bunks in Chang'an City are!Not to mention buying it, even renting it, the rent is too much to bear!

Lu Chengqi didn't want to squeeze in either, the most exotic gadgets at the temple fair were always near the temple entrance.Although it was near noon, the number of people at the temple fair had dropped a lot, but it was still crowded with people.It's cool, it's already summer, you must be sweating profusely when you squeeze in, it's not worth it!
"Young master, it's noon, do you want to go back?"

Wang Yanchen kept frowning, nervously watching the crowd coming and going, as if everyone he saw looked like an assassin.Lu Chengqi couldn't stop thinking about it, he finally got lazy, how could he be willing to go back to the palace so soon?He's not Zhu Yuanzhang, he's like a model worker who "punches to work" on time every day.Even if you are an iron man, you have to rest and relax, right?
"What's the hurry, it's still early!"

Lu Chengqi spread out the folding fan in his hand, only to feel a bit of coolness: "It's too hot here, it's time to have lunch, so let's find a restaurant to eat!"

The emperor has a decree, how dare these people defy it?Gao Hao asked cautiously: "I don't know which restaurant the young master wants to go to?"

"I often hear that Chang'an Fanlou is famous in the capital, so I want to taste it. Is it an exaggeration..." The implication is that we are going to Fanlou for lunch.Gao Hao was also clever and quickly led the way.This is also the reason why Lu Chengqi didn't want to replace Gao Hao. This little eunuch has a quick mind and is a very good helper.

Fan Lou is quite far from here, Lu Chengqi and his party waited for the public carriage beside the "station", and after throwing a few copper coins, they found a seat and sat down.There are quite a few passengers in the long carriage pulled by two horses.But when they saw the imperial guards with simple knives, many people consciously stood up and gave way.Lu Chengqi frowned, and said loudly: "Sit down, don't give up your seats!"

Seeing that this "yamen" does not seem to be a vicious person, some old people dare to sit down.And those young passengers refused to sit down even if they said nothing.

Lu Chengqi thought helplessly: "If you want to truly experience the feelings of the people, you still have to leave these imperial guards behind." But he had experienced an assassination, so he didn't dare to make such a big deal.There is no one in the world, not to mention that there are many scissors and thieves in this era. If he is murdered and stolen, wouldn't he die in vain?
After finally arriving at their destination, Lu Chengqi and his party got out of the car, and when they looked up, they saw a magnificent restaurant.What is different is that this restaurant occupies a very large area, and there is a courtyard in front of the gate. Listen to the sound of books and write heart-warming qin language; on the crescent moon of the small building, look at the smoke cage tower courtyard and Biying pavilion." The fifth floor faces each other, each with a flying bridge sill, and the light and dark communicate.

"Good word!"

Lu Chengqi secretly applauded, such a "Fan Lou" can be regarded as matching the Fan Lou in his mind, and it really deserves its reputation!No wonder literati and poets often linger here, this garden-like restaurant is probably the only one in Chang'an!
"Singing and dancing in Liang Yuan is full of romance, wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow. Recalling Taiping is a lot of fun, and lights are on Fanlou late at night. It really lives up to its reputation!" Lu Chengqi first sighed that the owner of Fanlou is really rich, and in this inch of land In Jin's Chang'an city, there is such a large piece of land to build a high-rise courtyard, and it is just a restaurant, which shows its courage.But as far as Lu Chengqi knew, this fan tower was passed down from his ancestors, and it existed in the previous dynasty.

Feelings are emotions, the temple of the five internal organs is about to rebel.Lu Chengqi didn't linger too long, and walked directly into the courtyard.

"Guest officer, please come inside, do you still want to eat?"

A mistress ran out to greet Lu Chengqi graciously, because Lu Chengqi was dressed luxuriously.This little boy's eyes are also vicious, and he can tell that Lu Chengqi is a rich man.Indeed, Lu Chengqi is sitting in Huangzhuang, if you want to talk about the richest person in the world, he is none other than him.

"At this time, can you be top?" Lu Chengqi was in a good mood, and said jokingly.
