Zhu Yicheng would leave the palace and walk around on weekdays, but compared to when he was in Nanjing, he left the palace much less often after coming to the capital. In addition, even if he left the palace, it was during the day. For example, this was the first time he left the palace until it was dark.

The capital is a large shape with a large character, and the middle is naturally the Forbidden City. A circle outside the Forbidden City is called the Imperial City, which is used as an area to protect the Forbidden City. Outside the Imperial City, it belongs to the inner city.

The pattern of the inner city was formed in the Yuan Dadu era. After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Qing court expelled the Han people living in the inner city and announced that the inner city could only live in Manchus. It was not until Zhu Yicheng's Ming army captured the capital and then changed back and drove away all the Manchus who had lived in the inner city, thus restoring the Han people's right to live in the inner city.

Nowadays, most of the people living in the inner city are the residences of court officials and merchants. They must pass through this area and cannot afford to live in it. They have to be replaced by the existence of the Second Ring Road in the future.

After leaving the inner city, it is the outer city. This is the place where the people in the capital live, including many markets in the capital, which are in the outer city.

In contrast, the outer city is more popular and can better reflect the appearance of the capital. Zhu Yicheng went straight from the imperial city to the inner city, and then went all the way from the inner city. It took him little time to arrive at the outer city.

"It's really lively." Standing at the intersection of the street, Zhu Yicheng looked at the crowds that were no less than during the day, especially the shops decorated with lights and the sounds of hawking.

"When I say goodbye, I abolished the Qing Dynasty curfew in the Ming Dynasty. The night market in the capital has been open since the day I returned to the capital. It has become more and more lively in recent years. There are still many people in some places until the third day of the day." Xiao Jiangzi explained softly, and Zhu Yicheng nodded, feeling quite satisfied.

Speaking of the curfew order, this is a thing issued by the Qing Dynasty. In fact, unless it was during the war or under special circumstances, large cities like the capital or some local governments rarely had curfews directly. Although the night market was not directly under the government's control, it was very lively under control.

After all, the ancients were not like those of later generations. They could go online at home every night, use their mobile phones to watch videos, etc. The ancients did not have much entertainment on weekdays. Apart from eating alcohol and playing cards, it was just ordinary things for men, women, young and old. They had to pass the time in the long night, so they couldn’t always get into bed when it was dark, right? How could they survive if they continued like this?

Therefore, the emergence of night markets is also a place for enriching the daily entertainment of the people. At the same time, night markets can also create a lot of wealth and enhance the vitality of the city. As for safety, the Ming Dynasty was not the Qing Dynasty. According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the night ban in the capital was banned at one o'clock, and after the bell was quiet, before the five o'clock, the 30th, the 3rd, and the 5th, and the 50th, the 5th, and the 50th, the 5th and the 50th were beaten. The towns in other counties were reduced by one level. Due to rapid official duties in the capital, the military and civilians had diseases, production, and mourning, and the ban was not restricted.

In fact, this ban came from the Ming Dynasty law, which was promulgated by Zhu Yuanzhang. However, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, this ban was already in name only because it was too strict. Later, the Qing Dynasty took it directly and wrote it into the so-called Qing Dynasty law, and it was even more effective than the previous Ming Dynasty.

Now, the new Ming Dynasty law has long deleted this article, and only retained the right to have the right to impose a curfew when necessary. The prosperity of the night market is of great benefit to economic development. Moreover, local governments in the Ming Dynasty have done a very good job in public security. If you don’t talk about the others, just talk about the capital. The night market not only has yamen runners patrolling the streets, but also has spies from the Jinyiwei to assist. Not to mention some people who are ill-thinking, even the stealing guys have long been arrested.

Zhu Yicheng walked and watched the bus. The lively night market made him feel much better and he felt much more relaxed.

After walking for a few streets, Zhu Yicheng felt a little hungry. He originally planned to have a meal in the bedroom, but Zhu Yicheng suddenly wanted to go out of the palace and did not eat. He didn't feel that when he smelled the aroma of food, Zhu Yicheng's appetite suddenly rose.

This fragrance is clearly the fragrance of duck. Zhu Yicheng was familiar with it. He originally thought it was the roast duck from Bianyifang. Bianyifang is a famous roast duck restaurant in the capital. It was found in the 14th year of Yongli and has a history of more than 300 years.

But after careful identification, I felt that it was different. After looking for the fragrance and walking for a while, Zhu Yicheng was surprised to find that the fragrance came from a store in front, and this store actually had the sign of the old Cao family store.

Zhu Yicheng visited the old Cao family store a lot when he was in Nanjing. Moreover, when Cao Xiaoer went to Shanghai to open a store, Zhu Yicheng wrote a sub-word for him, which was the signature of the old Cao family.

And now, aren’t the four words written by the old Cao family store hanging there? Zhu Yicheng didn’t expect that this old Cao family store would actually be opened to the capital in a few years, which is surprising and surprising.

Since he saw it, Zhu Yicheng, whose index finger was moving, naturally had to go and visit him, so he immediately walked over.

When I got closer, I saw that the Cao family’s old store had slightly different sizes and structures, but the interior decoration and display were similar to that of the old store in Nanjing. When I saw this familiar scene, Zhu Yicheng suddenly seemed to have returned to when he was in Nanjing.

"Several people, please come inside." The waiter at the door saw Zhu Yicheng and others walking towards their own store, and hurried forward enthusiastically to greet him.

Zhu Yicheng took a few oops and stepped into the store, but after entering the store, there were not many people in the store. Compared with the old stores in Nanjing, the business of the old stores in Cao's family in the capital did not seem to be very good.

"Come two salted ducks, and then four bowls of duck blood soup. I can just do some other staple foods." Zhu Yicheng didn't go upstairs to the elegant seat, so he found a seat inside in the store and sat down, and then said to the waiter.

"Master, are you an old customer?" the waiter responded and asked enthusiastically.

"Oh, why do you ask that?" Zhu Yicheng asked with a smile.

"Look at what you ordered, you won't be so if you are not an old customer. In addition, your official words sound clearly from Jinling." The waiter said with a smile.

"Hahaha, it's so good, and I'm good at buying and selling." Zhu Yicheng immediately laughed, then nodded and said, "I did come from Jinling. When I was in Jinling, I often visited Lao Cao's store. I have not had time to go back to Jinling in the north for many years. I didn't expect that this old store has been opened to the capital now."

"No wonder." The waiter suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Again my words, this store opened last month. Although our store is not very famous in the capital, the old Cao family store in the south is a golden signboard. Did you see the plaque hanging outside? That is the emperor's imperial pen!"

"Haha, why is this business not so good?" Zhu Yicheng looked around and asked with a smile.

The waiter sighed and shook his head and said, "Isn't this the people in the capital who can't eat it? Except for the guests from the south, the locals all like to eat ducks from Bianqifang. But you are the old owner. You know best how the ducks in our Lao Cao family are comparable to those roast ducks that fool people? This is not the taste at all."

"Each person has his own preferences, and this cannot be all-encompassed." Zhu Yicheng smiled and said, "Bianyifang has the specialty of Bianyifang. Lao Cao's family has the best skills. Everyone has different hobbies and tastes. This is natural. As long as the things are good, the wine is fragrant and the alley is deep."

The waiter smiled awkwardly, then sued him. After a while, things came up one after another. Zhu Yicheng asked Xiao Jiangzi and the two guards who were sitting next to him to avoid being restrained, and then picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in his mouth.

Although it has been many years since, the duck still tasted the same as before. Zhu Yicheng felt a little moved and tasted it carefully.

Take a bite of duck meat, then drink a bite of duck blood soup, and roasted fragrant wheat cakes. These are not bad compared to the meals in the palace, and are more in line with Zhu Yicheng's taste.
