travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 7 Going through the back door

After dressing up in disguise, Zhao Fei led Chu Xuan out of the palace gate and walked all the way to the bustling market in the imperial capital.

With Chu Xuan's loyal and courageous appearance, he naturally refused to let the emperor leave the palace, but Zhao Fei showed the majesty of the ninety-five emperor, and Chu Xuan immediately knelt down.

Zhao Fei now has some good experience with the profession of the emperor. In fact, he doesn't need to know anything, as long as he gets angry at critical moments, or laughs a few times.

The so-called unfathomable!

He didn't say any nonsense, didn't do any action, just looked at the other party quietly, under the gaze of the emperor, the other party couldn't help feeling panic, and didn't tell himself.

The emperor of the Great Song Kingdom has a very good name called Chang'an, which means long-term peace and order, and the capital of the Great Song Dynasty is positioned as Chang'an. Please forgive the bad taste of the main god of the system in this book.

Chang'an is indeed Chang'an. Even if the frontiers are unstable and the world is unstable, the people of Chang'an City are still carrying cages and riding horses, in small groups, and they are very idle.

If it weren't for the little stool to tell the truth after drinking, anyone can only say that the world is peaceful and the scene of a prosperous age based on the peaceful scene in Chang'an City.

"Chu Xuan, let me ask you, how many people are there in this city of Chang'an?" Zhao Fei looked around the market, then turned around and asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chang'an City has a total permanent population of 80, plus the daily floating population, there are as many as one million people. There is an acropolis in the east and west of Chang'an City, and the population of the two Acropolis is about 50. Chang'an City has a radius of one hundred thousand. Li is the most densely populated place in the world, and there are millions of people, so the total population of Chang'an City and its vicinity is about 250 million."

Chu Xuan answered very carefully, not only reporting how many people were in Chang'an City, but also how many people were outside Chang'an City.

The population base of more than 200 million really surprised Zhao Fei. Even in the era of population explosion, there are still very few cities in the world with a population of more than 200 million.

As for the ancient times, with the medical conditions and grain growing technology of this era, Zhao Fei did not think that his Great Song State had a population of over one billion.

"I heard from Xiaosengzi that the grain production in the northern part of the empire has decreased, and many places have no crops. With such a large population in Chang'an City, can the grain meet the demand?"

"Report to Your Majesty..."

"Chu Xuan, we are outside the palace now, don't always call me Your Majesty, so you can call me Mr. Long from now on."

"Your Majesty, how can this be done? The courtesy of a monarch and his ministers cannot be discarded..."

"What makes it impossible? You are my personal bodyguard. My personal safety should be the most important thing. You always call me Your Majesty. Isn't this telling others my identity? Now that the empire is in an unstable situation, there must be various intentions. If people are inquiring about information in Chang'an City, if the spies from Daqing Kingdom in the north find out my identity, wouldn't they put me in great danger? So from now on, just call me Mr. Long, and I'll call you Old Chu .”

"But……"

"This is an order!" Zhao Fei glanced at Chu Xuan coldly, and Chu Xuan immediately fell silent.

Small sample, toast do not eat fine wine!

Although it has not been a long time since I came to ancient times, and it took me a short while to become an emperor, Zhao Fei has already discovered the advantages of being an emperor, that is, someone listens to his speech. If the person is disobedient, look at him coldly. At a glance, he was immediately honest.

"Old Chu, I'm a little hungry, is there anything delicious around here?" Zhao Fei asked.

"Your Majesty..."

"Ok?"

"Yes, son, tofu is the most famous thing around here."

"Tofu?"

"Yes, my lord, there is a tofu shop near here, which has tofu residue, fermented bean curd, soy milk, tofu brain, bean cake, dried tofu, tofu juice, tofu soup, spicy tofu, fried tofu, fried tofu, deep-fried tofu... ?”

"Can this tofu be fried?" Zhao Fei felt the corners of his mouth twitching.

In the past, hitting tofu to death was a very strange way to die. Everyone knows that tofu is very tender and tender. If you can hit your head on tofu and die, it is definitely the king of hell who made you die in the third watch.

Tofu is such a tender thing, if you touch it with your hands, it will be broken with a little force, but it can be fried in oil, which is simply ruining the three views.

However, this also aroused Zhao Fei's curiosity, and without waiting for Chu Xuan's explanation, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, lead the way, I want to see how this tofu is fried."

"Yes." Chu Xuan nodded, accompanied Zhao Fei, and soon came to a secluded place.

The trees are shady, the scenery is pleasant, and it is a good place to go.

But as the saying goes, winding paths lead to secluded places, before Zhao Fei had time to feel the rare tranquility, a burst of noise came into Zhao Fei's ears.

Zhao Fei couldn't help feeling agitated, and when he looked up, there was a crowd of people, three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded a room, and they didn't know what they were watching.

As a native of China, Zhao Fei has the same bad taste as his colleagues, which is the so-called insensitive onlooker spirit described by a certain gentleman.

Basing his own happiness on the pain of others, Zhao Fei was a little irritable because of this inexplicable time travel, and now he needs a crowd-watching action to relieve the pressure and adjust his mood.

Seeing so many people crowded into such a quiet place to watch, Zhao Fei couldn't help thinking that there must be something exciting in the crowd.

Zhao Fei raised his footsteps, looking excited, and was about to step forward, but was suddenly pulled by his sleeves, couldn't help but look angry, turned around, and saw Chu Xuan looking at him nervously.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Fei's tone was a little cold, and the onlookers were technical and physical.

What the technology says is that you have to seize the powerful terrain so that you can have a wider field of vision. At the same time, you must also ensure your own safety and not become the object of others' onlookers.As for physical strength?Uh, there are a lot of onlookers. Didn’t you see that the front is surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside? If you want to see the things inside, you must not only be able to squeeze the crowd, but also have the spirit of queuing patiently. Whether it is crowding or queuing, it is pure physical work.

But now, due to Chu Xuan's pulling, a powerful terrain that Zhao Fei had been interested in has been seized at this moment, and the crowd has thickened by a layer, which undoubtedly increased the technical difficulty and physical exertion of Zhao Fei's onlookers.

"Your Majesty, no, my lord, can we go through the back door?" Chu Xuan whispered.

"What? The back door?" Zhao Fei couldn't help but widen his eyes, and there was talk of going through the back door while watching?Is this time too ahead of its time, or am I too special?
"Yes, young master, I am familiar with the boss here, and I can go in through the back door every time." Chu Xuan nodded and said as a matter of course.

"Boss?" Zhao Fei was confused, and said, "Wait, what place is this?"

"A tofu shop for Tofu Xishi?" Chu Xuan asked.
