I saw the official who came to report the news, after stumbling through several corridors and halls, he was disgraced and in tears. He knelt down at the foot of the innermost building and shouted in despair:
"What's gone, how could it be gone!"
Guo Chongtao, who came out disheveled and without shoes, shouted sharply:
"I just sent someone to find out who was so bold! Where did it happen!"
"It's Baqiao City..."
The soap official seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He raised his head and shouted one last time, then collapsed and passed out:
Upon hearing this name, Guo Chongtao's expression suddenly became more gloomy.
Outside Chang'an City, due to the years of peace, those water and land strategic points and Guanjing Bridges surrounding the east, west and south sides of the city have gradually formed large areas of city squares due to the prosperity of commerce and workshops, which are the real harbors of filth and evil.
The place is dark under the lamp.
As for the rest of the north direction of the city, I'm sorry, it's the Daming Palace located on Longshou Hill, and right under the Xuanwu Gate of the West Neiyuan; in theory, it extends north to Xianyang, Jingyang, and both sides of the Wei River in Xinfeng County.
It was the outer garden where the emperor used to go on hunting trips.
Although it occupies an extremely large area, it is inevitable that many refugee groups and gangsters will be mixed into the dens; but like weeds that cannot be burned away by wildfires every year, the iron fist of the feudal monarchy and dictatorship of the Nanyabei Army will be harvested and harvested regularly.
Clean up the last handful.
As for those who want to set up public activities in Fang District, is it because the swords and guns of the left and right Shence Army guarding Beiyuan are not sharp enough? Or is it that the firearms of the Shenji Army lack targets? Or that the horseshoes of the Six Stable Flying Dragon Envoys lack lubrication?
Therefore, it is inevitable that there are too many people of all kinds who are not included in the official household registration. In particular, most of them are descendants of all kinds of people and Hunu who are engaged in low-level and low-level industries; secondly, they leave their hometowns and come to Beijing every year to seek life, but they are unable to live in the city.
The poor people everywhere who have a foothold.
Their existence and developed trade routes have further promoted underground transactions of varying scales. Among the four major ghost markets that once existed underground in Chang'an, the largest and most recently active one is located in the western suburbs of Chengxiafang.
near Baqiao.
Therefore, compared to the important relationship between that woman and Wude Si, Guo Chongtao's investigation of another one, suspected to be related to the Five Immortals Sect, was actually a secondary move; but he did not expect that a big problem would arise.
.
You must know that he deliberately avoided Wudesi and Jingzhao counties; he also arranged for six children who were affiliated with one of the six envoys of Jinwu and four senior cadres who were servants of Yushi Palace to co-organize the event;
In addition, a trainee Li Xing and a patrol officer were seconded from the Yushitai Procuratorate and the Hedong Qing Li Department, which supervise the local area, to lead the team.
All of a sudden, during an ordinary investigation outside the city, everything disappeared. This was unprecedented and shocking for the place in Shangjing, which had been at peace for many years! Therefore, Guo Chongtao dressed up without hesitation and took all the certificates of representative status and authority.
After reading the flag and sealing the letter, he ran to the nearest Yanping Gate to the west without hesitation.
However, when he quickly and slowly rushed out of the Yanping Gate on his strong horse, and passed along the Ba River through the Chengxiafang, which was shrouded in darkness and scattered lights, and looked like a group of demons dancing wildly, the sky gradually turned white.
;
But at the moment when Guo Chongtao and his party were about to arrive at Baqiao in a hurry, those flags suddenly appeared in front of them, which made his mind suddenly sink.
At the same time, in Youtufang, Jiang Tian was taking a bath in the renovated house.
This small building is neither big nor small; starting from the first floor, there are only two rooms inside and outside, the front shop and the back building. It is no more than ten feet wide and no more than eight feet long, with a wooden ladder in the middle as a partition.
Therefore, after arranging the third floor and opening it into one residence, and leaving the outer room on the second floor to Fan Shishi, there is nothing more pleasant and comfortable than taking a hot bath in Mei Mei.
Naturally, the emperor and his civil and military officials had special bathing places represented by Lishan Garden and Huaqing Palace, which had been rich in hot springs since ancient times. It was also a palace building built in the past dynasties with complete functions and was like a small city.
However, only a handful of people from the middle and upper classes of the court were able to enjoy the baths and even have their own private baths and annexes. Others were more of the ceremonial guards and service personnel who followed.
Therefore, as early as the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the rivers and other places around the Guannai Road were likely to be the location of natural hot springs. They had long been used by various villas and villas built by various princes, nobles, and wealthy families, and they were exposed.
Fully occupied.
Only a handful of them are open to the public. For example, the Daxing Tangyuan in Lantian Valley in Lantian County is a rare public hot spring resort open to officials and people. However, there are certain thresholds for the so-called officials and people.
Therefore, if the vast majority of ordinary people want to clean their bodies on a daily basis, they can only go down to the river to bathe and purify themselves during the warm or hot seasons; and corresponding customs have been formed.
This is also one of the origins of the custom of bathing in water on March 3 since ancient times, which is believed to ward off diseases. Because after March 3 when spring flowers bloom, ordinary families have the conditions for open-air bathing.
But in the cold autumn and winter, there is no other way; men who are in good health can directly flush the well water, or use the top layer of freshly fallen snow to wipe their bodies; but women and children can only hide in the house and get some hot water to wipe their bodies.
One or two.
However, Gyeonggi Province, where Chang'an is located, is a metropolis that gathers the best of the world. It is also the best place in the world for the development of various industries and the abundance of materials. Therefore, there is no shortage of various government and private businesses in the streets and alleys of the city.
The Tangchi Pavilion.
In addition, the Liang Gong sent people to discover a large-scale open-pit carboniferous deposit in Yanzhou Xiangshuichuan (Ordos) in the northern part of Guannai Road. With the continuous flow of Jingshui River southward and the supply of cheap coal;
It will soon replace the original firewood-based fuel needs.
Therefore, in the firewood market outside Chunming Gate in the east of Chang'an City, the largest supply comes from the so-called Xishan coal that comes from the border of Qinzhou on Hedong Road and is transported along the Yellow River to the Wei River and transported to Chang'an.
As for the original charcoal-making and selling business in Bai Letian's masterpiece "The Charcoal Seller" who "cut firewood and burned charcoal in the southern mountains", it has directly become a high-end product exclusively for the middle and upper classes, in order to satisfy those who dislike the smell of soot.
Required for a large and wealthy family.
Therefore, in this apprenticeship, there are naturally more than ten soup courts and soup houses of corresponding sizes. They not only provide bathing and bathing needs for the residents, but also sell prepared hot soup, or provide home-made soup and
Equipment rental services.
At this moment, Jiang Tian just spent a piece of white money worth fifty to directly rent a large soup bucket, as well as ready-made stoves for heating hot water and keeping warm. As long as he waited for a few hours, he would be ready.
Enjoy ready-made directly in the room.
Of course, this is a rather particular approach like Jiang Tian's. It only costs a few pennies to go directly to the hot spring pool to wash your hair all over, and you can also interact with the neighbors who can be honest with each other.
We talked happily and worked hard on the crotch;
The second and third hot spring pools are even cheaper, and the prices are also decreasing in sequence; there are even people who specialize in washing the tail soup, which costs only a penny a time. There are also small private rooms for individuals, and it is said that there are popular services.
?
While Jiang Tian was soaking in the soup, someone knocked on the door and delivered a food box that could be easily placed on the soup bucket; it was a large bowl of thick soup with minced meat, bean soup and roasted skin; although it was not as good as Wan
Nianxianxianzhengfang, Xiaojia wontons is called Chaosqu, but it can be regarded as a vegetable and meat dish full of sincerity.
After Jiang Tian finished taking a bath, someone came in to tidy up. There were also door-to-door barbers with carriages, taking advantage of the time when his body was warm and his skin was soft and soft, to provide haircuts and shaves. Then there were barbers with equipment.
The tailor comes to your door and takes a measure to measure...
Just like what Xiao Ao said, all the daily necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation for ordinary people can be met in a few streets nearby without going too far. Even if you are a regular visitor, you can still get it.
Account on credit or pending account.
Of course, it is easy and fun to spend money, but it is not so good to sit back and have nothing. Next, Jiang Tian will consider exploring and solving tasks, improving his abilities, and planning to find a daily routine for himself after leaving his apprenticeship.
