Chapter 9 Going to the Market
Chapter 9 Visiting the Market
Jixing didn't care too much about what he did in Qifang Pavilion that night. However, Jixing was a little curious about Qiu Xuan's identity. It is said that this woman is from Jinling and has also been in Xingwang Mansion for a while.
Ji Xing naturally would not believe that she would come to Lingnan for no reason, an area that is considered to be a place outside the world. However, Ji Xing did not worry too much, but instead paid attention to it and returned to the royal palace to have a good sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, Chen Yanshou came to serve early. Ji Xing saw that he was this confidant and caring for him. He was in a good mood and quickly waved his hand to signal Chen Yanshou, and then said, "I want to go out for a walk, how,,,,,,!"
"Your Highness, I'm afraid that someone who is interested will impeach Your Highness when I'm at Qifang Pavilion last night will be heard by Li Changshi!" Chen Yanshou remained silent.
"Don't worry, I just want to go to the east and west yards to inspect the people's conditions in the city, so there is no need to be nervous!" Ji Xing shook his head.
Seeing that Ji Xing didn't seem to be lying to him, and the people following him were far away, Chen Yanshou hesitated, but still asked with caution: "Your Highness, don't lie to me!"
"Don't worry, I'm in a good mood at this time!" He reached out and put his hand on Chen Yanshou's shoulder, but he couldn't prevent Chen Yanshou from shaking all over, so he said, "You go and prepare the car first,,,,,,!"
"Stopping, Fucheng,,,,,?" I originally wanted to persuade Jixing, but I didn't expect Jixing to have already been calculating, so Chen Yanshou naturally held his face and felt a little embarrassed.
He had to hesitate. Although he was in charge of the inner palace of the King of Qi, the words and deeds of the King of Qi were completely under the jurisdiction of Li Changshi Li Yu. Li Yu was not here today, but Chen Yanshou still had a headache when he thought that Li Yu could write a letter to the emperor.
Thinking of King Qi's past eccentricity and his previous opinion, even if he hesitated a little, he naturally did not dare to disobey. He then summoned the person who served far behind him, came over and gave a few words in person, and ordered him to go over and prepare a carriage for Jixing immediately.
Seeing that Chen Yanshou understood him, Ji Xing didn't say anything nonsense. With his companionship, he came straight to the gate of the Qi Prince's Mansion! Qi Chang Mansion is located in the mountainous area, but as the capital of the Han Kingdom, the gate of the Qi Prince's Mansion really looks imposing!
Thinking that he could whip the horse, Ji Xing still looked forward with some hope, but when he saw the carriage parked at the door again, he immediately pulled his face down. King Qi might not care about it, but in Ji Xing's eyes, the big boxes in front of him were obviously a little shabby.
King Liu Jixing of Qi was obviously the biggest lord in Qichang Mansion. The posture and scale of this carriage were not too luxurious, but in Jixing's opinion, his huge body obviously seemed a little small when he sat in it!
Emperor Liu Sheng was not short of money, but was surprisingly stingy. Even the son of King Qi was a little tightly restricted. The finances that King Qi could control were not much in the Qi Palace! As a fiefdom, King Qi was a little unqualified and knew that the jurisdiction of his fief was only Xingning County.
Xingning County is relatively vast, including all areas of Xingning and Wuhua, and also includes some Zijin, Longchuan, and even Pingyuan areas! Lingnan is full of mountains and vastness and freedom. The Governor's Office of the King of Qi is in Qichang, and the surrounding counties are actually not small!
In the eyes of people of this era, the most common one here is mountain. Compared with his younger brother Baoxing, he is considered a poor household!
What Lingjixing is depressed is that none of the counties under his jurisdiction is rich! According to the division of various prefectures in the Han Dynasty, Xingwangfu naturally belongs to Shangzhou, Qinzhou, Zhenzhou and Shaozhou at least Zhongzhou, which is the small Guizhou Prefecture, which is actually better than Qichang Prefecture!
At this time, King Zhen Baoxing was still in the Xingwang Mansion, and Zhenzhou Mansion had not yet set up the royal mansion. Theoretically, the Qichang Mansion was indeed a bit too far from these prefectures.
Not to mention whether there is money or not, the King of Qi has to face another problem, that is, the border territory, and the entanglement between Fujian and Southern Tang occupied by Wu and Yue. Those two places are also very remote, and there are conflicts between soldiers and soldiers on the border every year! Not only do you have to be a human being with your tails, but you also have to be a human being with your pockets!
If King Qi had not been naughty at a young age, he had taken a lot of valuable things in the palace. After he arrived in Qichang Mansion, Mrs. Ya knew about his situation and brought a lot of money to Qingzhu and Zixiao. Otherwise, with the character of King Qi Liu Jixing, he would have been drinking the northwest wind in the King Qi Mansion!
How can I get through the past two years? Perhaps only Li Yu, who is the chief minister, and Chen Yanshou, who is the manager of the royal palace, understands and conspires. Jixing wants to go to the streets of Qichangfucheng, so Chen Yanshou can only prepare the frame and then slowly walk forward along the street in front of the royal palace.
It was raining at this time, and the streets seemed fresh. The carriage was walking along the way, and the lucky star sitting in the carriage naturally had thoughts in his heart. This was his fiefdom and the starting point for him to enter Beijing!
The Han Dynasty is in charge of the capital, and the Qichang Mansion is actually quite large. It was originally a fief of Emperor Gaozu to his beloved son! In the memory of King Qi, Qichang Mansion has four city gates, and many arch areas are divided into the city, including two large markets in the east and west, which is also considered to be of ordinary cost!
When I really saw these fang districts in Fucheng, I couldn't help but sigh. These fang districts are similar to later communities, with various walls that enclose the residential areas. For the sake of easy management, the fang districts in Fucheng are almost the same in scale and shape.
With the same scope, circle the houses and put them in this frame, the lucky star will naturally not care about these things, but rather want to see the difference between the people in this era and the people's living and living in their own eras in the future.
This time I drove slowly, because I told me not to harass me, so the state of what I saw was enough to make the Ringji Star sigh. It seems that film and television mislead people a lot. In this era, there were not many people living in the mountains and fields, and there were actually quite a few people living in the city.
People along the way still hid in the carriage, which made Ji Xing a little depressed! Seeing this posture, even when he was sitting in the carriage, Ji Xing felt his face lost. The King of Qi was not welcomed, so he had to instruct someone to drive the carriage into the alley!
Maybe he saw that there were no people on the carriage, Ji Xing saw through the car window. After the hidden object, someone secretly looked at this side! Ji Xing was not worried about safety, but he also understood that this was a sin committed by King Qi!
It’s not that King Qi has a bad reputation, these people will not escape. The lucky star can naturally see that the people wearing patches and even some ragged clothes are all miserable residents in the city!
Jixing’s idea is that people who live in the mansion are relatively stable and can barely live, but they are afraid that their living conditions will not be very good. The climate in Lingnan is very good, and the clothes they wear do not need to be too much or complicated. Even so, it looks miserable!
"Your Highness, where are you going?" Chen Yanshou was cautious. In his eyes, the safety of King Qi was the most important. While looking at those people, he was cautious and asked Ji Xing!
",,,,,,,,,, West Market, at this time, someone should go and take a look!" With a little thought, Ji Xing thought for a moment, and said lightly!
Chen Yanshou did not hesitate and signaled the coachman to drive to the west market! When he arrived at the bustling West Market, Jixing did not get off the car immediately, but asked someone to drive the car aside and walked into the west market under the custody of Chen Yanshou.
Jixing came here just to see what the market in this era looked like. After entering the western market, Jixing kept nodding, which was similar to what he imagined.
The state of the West Market is similar to that of the later market. Many people who set up stalls are shouting. When they see someone coming, the sound will naturally be louder. As you can see the lucky star, there are very few common supplies in later generations here, and there are almost no varieties.
I was a little curious, and a little sighed! Located in the mountainous area of Lingnan, the most common here is a variety of fruits. Of course, there are also a small amount of dried fish and grain, basically all of which are bean products and ware such as tiles.
It is not a big deal about mountain goods and bamboo utensils in this mountainous area! The cloth and wheat that Jixing imagines are just one or two stores.
In the memory of King Qi, there are a wide variety of goods and various materials in King Xing’s mansion, which are a world of difference here.
