After the carriage that came to pick him up slowly drove out of this large villa, Jiang Tian looked back at the door. There were no floral decorations or patterns on it, only the words "Qingqiguan" in a rather simple font.
Author: Is this where I have been staying during this time?
And when the carriage drove out of the winding streets lined with high walls and green screens, the pedestrians and vendors gradually became denser from sparse, and the atmosphere of home life in various markets suddenly appeared on the river.
In front of Tie's eyes, although the predecessor had long been accustomed to it.
But for Jiang Tian, who has been through too many things at the moment and has almost never stopped fighting and killing, it is a rare scene of peace of mind and relaxation. And in the distance where a large river meanders, you can even see something like a palace wall.
Words such as "Qujiang Villa" and "Furong Garden" suddenly came to his mind.
And the "Qingqi Pavilion" where I am located also has a good background, and it can actually occupy a large space near the Qujiang Palace. However, behind this prosperous and prosperous scene, there is something hidden.
How much darkness and filth is there? Thinking of this, Jiang Tian said to Meng Cong Guo Feng who was driving:
"Do you mind if you delay me for a moment while I'm on the way?"
"But please do it yourself."
However, after being slightly surprised, Guo Feng also showed an understanding expression and said: At the same time, he took out a money bag from his sleeve very considerately. Only then did Jiang Tian realize that he was in the other garden.
There is no need to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, so I no longer have the habit of carrying money when I go out.
Therefore, when Jiang Tian's carriage finally arrived at the newly established place where Xiuzhengfang is located in the southeast corner of Chang'an, he could see the landmark building in the distance - the Daci'en Temple located in Changguofang, even in the
The location of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which will become famous in later generations:
The Daci'en Temple was specially built by Emperor Taizong in memory of his biological mother, Mrs. Dou (some say it was his aunt Mrs. Xiao Dou who raised his brothers). The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built by Emperor Taizong in memory of his biological mother, Mrs. Dou.
Master Xuanzang, who pioneered the Duhu Mansion, was the place where he once translated scriptures and taught Dharma.
It’s just that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of this era is completely different from the tourist attraction that was rebuilt many times in later generations. This is because after the earthquake more than a hundred years ago, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was renovated. Therefore, today’s Big Wild Goose Pagoda is not only reinforced inside
The exterior was plastered with gypsum (cement).
On the four-sided tower surface, waterproof and wear-resistant paint is used to depict the colorful images of the four guardian kings; therefore, no matter which direction you are in the southeast city square, as long as you can see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, you will be able to see it.
You can determine your approximate location based on the portrait of the King of Heaven facing you.
At the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is a rotating timing mechanism similar to an armillary sphere. Therefore, at half past midnight and noon, the bells in the tower will naturally start to ring; this is necessary to tell the time at a fixed point. Therefore,
It has also become one of the "New Thirty-six Scenic Spots" under the jurisdiction of Wannian County in Chang'an City.
The new place led by Guo Chongtao is located on the South Street part of Simen Cross Street in Xiuzhengfang, close to Zuo Street near Nanfang Gate. Diagonally opposite is the former residence of Zhang Jiuling, the famous Kaiyuan Prime Minister. Today, it contains the Shangshu Provincial Pavilion and
The pavilion of Zongzheng Temple; "The Record of the Year under the Chariot" records that the peony banquet of new Jinshi may be located here.
Of course, Guo Chongtao's reputation is not that great. Therefore, what he currently occupies is a wealthy businessman's mansion that was confiscated by the public, and was transformed into a medium-sized courtyard with three spans and two entrances. Therefore, as long as he stands in the pavilion of the inner courtyard
When you go up, you can see the sparkling Qujiang Lake behind the southeast wall.
In front of Wutou Gate, which represents identity, Shuangma Stone, Hengju and Barriers have also been re-erected; wooden signs and lanterns with the words Jinwu Street Ambassador have been hung. It can be regarded as being low-key and inconspicuous, but it has a hint of officialdom.
.After Jiang Tian got out of the car again, there were already a lot of leftover sticks, cattail leaves, and wrapping paper piled up around him.
In a sense, it is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective way to understand the current basic situation related to people's livelihood in a short period of time; starting with those mobile vendors who have a wide range of activities and are most sensitive to price changes.
The prices of daily staple foods such as cakes, soup and rice can project a lot of information.
For example, in Chang'an today, the most expensive staple foods are chestnut (millet) and rice (big yellow rice), which cost 45 yuan per dou (ten liters/about 12 kilograms); followed by (wheat) wheat, which costs 30 yuan per dou.
Seven qian, after being ground into flour, is 63 qian per dou; the cheapest is rice, which is only 30 qian per dou.
Among rice, except for some special varieties such as fragrant rice, long eye rice, chicken blood rice, Binuo stem, red lotus rice, etc. that are exclusively for the upper class, the most valuable ones are Zhejiang rice and Jiannan rice from Jiangdong Province.
Xichuan rice from Lingnan Road, Zhu rice from Lingnan East Road, Xiangshui rice from Andong Duhufu, and Songjian rice from Jinghu South Road.
The cheapest and cheapest ones are cicada rice and rat tooth rice from Annan, Yizhou, Linyi, Shuilu Zhenla and other places. Because they are early-maturing and fast-growing varieties with poor taste, they are used as sea canals to send tribute northward.
Ship ballast. Therefore, at the lowest, a dou of rice only costs fifteen qian, and if it is rice released by the government to help the poor, it only costs 9 qian.
However, the most common ones on the market in Chang'an are Changgu rice, Yiluomi, etc., which are widely grown on Guannai Road and adjacent Shannan East Road and Henan Road. Therefore, the low-cost food security sent to Beijing in these parties
Understand, even if you are just a peddler and a pawn, there is no big problem just to fill your stomach.
But if you want to further improve the quality of life, you can only use the names of the Bai Juyi brothers to describe it. At that time, their father Bai Jigeng, a strange man of the generation, named the brothers Lotte/Juyi, and the other named
Traveling simply/knowing how to retire shows that life in the capital is particularly difficult.
Especially since the great opening up of the sea and land more than a hundred years ago, many domestic and overseas princes have divided themselves into vassals, and vassal kings have been subordinated to them; there are also thirty-two state capitals in the world, and more than a dozen of the six major guardianships.
Large and small governor's mansions, various palaces and feudal residences, and noble families successively purchased properties in Beijing. The result was that the land price in Chang'an became even higher.
Just like the predecessor of Jiang Tian, he still relied on the relationship guaranteed by Donghaishe to rent a residence in Wenxin Lane, Guangdeli, Wannian County at a relatively cheap price of 450 yuan every six months. But there are
More and more scholars and common people who came to Beijing to seek life could not afford to live in the city at all and could only settle down in many city squares.
Therefore, the current Chang'an City has natural differences from south to north; the farther north the city is, the more sparse the household registrations are, the area is vast, and the more low, flat and deep houses and compounds are; and the farther south it is, the more densely populated it is.
The floors are getting higher and higher, and the distance between the buildings in the square is becoming more chaotic and dense.
Among the east-west city squares, the west side is where many merchants from all over the world gather; and the east side is where noble families gather, and various mansions, villas, gardens and mansions abound, so it is called the west rich and the east noble.
pattern. Of course, specific to a certain city, each has different characteristics.
And a large number of civilians and poor scholars live in snail houses among the old, dilapidated and chaotic, often six or seven-story tube towers and stacked houses. Among the houses at the south end of the city, there is one called "Ant House"
It is quite a unique scenery. It is also the place where Jiang Tian’s predecessor liked to hang out when he was collecting materials.
Because, compared to those of emperors, generals, princes and ladies, almost all of them have become routine and over-familiar stories; the joys and sorrows and the joys and sorrows of the world that happened here are undoubtedly more real and down-to-earth. Therefore, even if it is written in the end
There is no need to show off the content, and you can still get corresponding benefits.
There was even a period of time in which he lived in one of the tube towers in order to observe a certain subject up close. He often had interactions with all kinds of people living in the noisy city and living nearby. The so-called tube tower
The building is one of the products of the capital reconstruction project that Liang Gong presided over as a stayer after he recovered Chang'an more than a hundred years ago.
Therefore, when it comes to each tube tower, care is taken in the materials and planning. Even after more than a hundred years of use, it can still accommodate hundreds of families or hundreds of people; and in terms of appearance,
Even though it is mottled and cracked, the basic living function inside is maintained. But stacked houses cannot do that.
The stacked house is a product of folk imitation of the shape of the tube tower and continuous stacking and self-construction. However, because the foundation is often not laid well, several floors are blindly built; the foundation continues to settle, so that one day, there is no
The sign suddenly collapsed. However, the rent of a stacked house that cannot stand is even cheaper than that of a tower, so there are always people flocking to it.
Therefore, in the absence of Guo Chongtao, this unknown courtyard was actually quite deserted; only a few left-behind officials were seen. So, after the ordinary registration of identity badges and leaving handwriting,
Jiang Tian took advantage of the situation and took the initiative to make a request to go to the scene and take a look.
