Chapter 12 Qin law is so strict?(1/2)
Hanyang City·Qin King Palace
"Your Highness, is this really good?"
In the palace where His Seventh Princess was sitting, the maid Lian'er looked at His Highness, who was dressed up in disguise, and couldn't help but whisper in a low voice.
"What? I want to explore the sufferings of the people...but is there anything wrong with it?" The fastest update on computer::/
Zhao Yun skillfully changed into black clothes, and said casually without blushing.
Yes, her purpose is to explore the real life of the people of Qin, not to wear men's uniforms!
"But... why do you hide it from His Highness Qin?"
Lian'er handed the belt for His Royal Highness the Princess, and said in confusion.
"The emperor's brother is busy with all kinds of things every day... Do you have to bother him with this little thing?"
Zhao Yun was stunned when she heard this, then covered her mouth and chuckled, indicating why bother the emperor's brother in this small matter?
If he knew that he had disguised himself as a man and left the palace, he would not have to spank himself?
"What if... what if... the King of Qin came to find His Highness?"
Lian'er is well-behaved by nature and is afraid that the story will be revealed. What should he do if His Highness the King of Qin knows about this?
"What's the problem? If the emperor really comes to find me... you just stop outside the door and say I'm resting?"
Zhao Yun's eyes rolled and she had a plan right now.
"Ah? Your Highness, do you mean...being ready to leave the palace alone?!"
Lian'er was shocked when she heard this. Then she realized that Your Highness had no intention of taking her, but was preparing to go out of the palace alone!
You should know that as the personal maid of His Highness Seventh Princess, she has always been with her wherever Her Highness goes!
"Look at what you said, who will cover this princess with you?"
Zhao Yun said that, she was already dressed in her clothes, and then nodded as expected, and immediately stepped out.
"Your Highness! But..."
Lian'er looked at His Highness who was walking fast and subconsciously shouted out.
But he saw that His Highness the Princess had already stepped on the tree skillfully, then jumped, and easily pulled out the already low palace wall...
"Your Highness! This..."
Lian'er looked at the free and relaxed figure and disappeared. She couldn't help but swallow the words she had never finished and couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion.
"Your Highness the Princess's martial arts... are getting more and more superb!"
...
"Is this Hanyang New City..."
Walking alone in Hanyang City, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh and sighed at the bustling and crowded Hanyang New City.
I think when she first came to Hanyang City with her brother, as the county seat of the entire Qinchuan County, Hanyang City seemed so poor. Not to mention that she was comparable to the capital Xijing City, she was far inferior to the slightly larger cities in Shenwei County.
As for the commercial economy, I can’t bear to look at it directly and fall behind.
However, just after less than ten years since the emperor's brother entered Qinchuan, a new Hanyang New City, which is more than ten times the size, was built outside the original Hanyang City!
This new Hanyang city is closely adjacent to the old city, and directly includes the ferry crossing of the western commercial port of the Qin King Grand Canal. It can directly communicate with the waterways of Xijing City, which are thousands of miles away, and trade exchanges are extremely developed!
Therefore, the huge Hanyang New City is not far away from the scale of the capital Xijing City!
Zhao Yun had reason to suspect that if she hadn't been worried about exceeding the rules, she would probably have to be built even larger in scale!
But even so, the commercial atmosphere of the entire Hanyang New City is much more lively than that of the capital Xijing City.
After all, Hulao Trading, created by the emperor's brother, has now become a world-famous business hub, not only controlling the Western Regions spices such as the Chicken Pepper and Ku Ming that have been popular in Jiuzhou in recent years.
It also monopolizes the extremely low price, but the heat is no less than the charcoal heating magical coal stone!
And the great invention of jute paper, which spread throughout the world due to its high quality and low price, gradually replacing heavy bamboo slips!
In addition, we borrowed Hulao to Hanyang, from Hanyang waterway to Xijing, from Hanyang official road to Zezhou Tongzhuang Port, and then used sea transportation to reach the Daxing Dynasty!
In this way, the entire Qin State completely became the core trade hub of the three countries of Jiuzhou!
And Hanyang New City naturally took advantage of this east wind and became one of the most prosperous cities in China!
However, in the recent Hanyang City, due to the order of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, a little nervous and solemn feeling suddenly became more nervous and solemn.
Except for foreign businessmen from Dali who have been subjected to strict inspections, the entire Hanyang City and the entire Qin State have entered a state of strict preparation for war!
In addition to the sudden strict restrictions on strategic materials including grain, iron, salt, horses, etc., the major workshops directly under the Ministry of Industry of Qin also canceled all rest and began to produce and process day and night to prepare for military supplies!
It was under such strict combat readiness control that merchants of all sizes and large areas in Qin could not help but smell an unusual smell.
...
In Hanyang New City, a handsome guy in black clothes suddenly walked into a restaurant.
"Shop! Come on the good meat and good dishes quickly! I'll give me some good wine to serve!"
Zhao Yun followed the appearance of those scholars, swaggered into the restaurant and shouted deliberately!
"Oh, this man!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were said, everyone in the house looked at her in unison. As for the shopkeeper standing at the counter, his face changed so much that he quickly reminded him!
"You are afraid that you are not a new business traveler from another place? You dare not speak so much... Be careful that disaster comes from your mouth!"
"What? I'll come to your restaurant to spend money on wine... but it can still cause trouble?"
Zhao Yun was suddenly confused.
Could it be that I look like the kind of villain who eats a tycoon meal?
"This...uh, young master, you don't know anything. The shop is not a restaurant, it's just a restaurant..."
The shopkeeper looked up and saw a strange look, but immediately changed his mouth and said.
"It's really boring! Then tell me... where is the largest winery in Hanyang City?"
When Zhao Yun heard this, she rolled her eyes and asked on the spot.
This time she sneaked out of her clothes, just to experience the happy life of the scholar-in-law who wandered around the country and was a hero!
If you can’t eat meat in big mouthfuls and drink alcohol with great pleasure... wouldn’t it be less fun!
"Ah? This..."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper showed a strange look on his face. After carefully looking at the "Young Master", he shook his head and said.
"I'm afraid the young master can't find a restaurant in the entire Hanyang City, or even the entire Qin State!"
"What? How could this be?!"
Zhao Yun immediately widened her eyes, as if she couldn't believe her ears!
"I had heard about the wealth of Qin, so I came here to do business... but I didn't know that there was even a restaurant in Qin?!"
This is really unimaginable. In such a huge Qin State, there is no way to find a tavern?
Zhao Yun was lost for a moment, but she really couldn't figure it out.
"Huh? When the young master passed the pass... Could it be that the Qin officials had not informed me that the Qin State prohibited the wine shops?"
Who knew that as soon as this statement came out, the shopkeeper became even more strange.
After all, the Qin State prohibits alcohol, which is a law that any foreign businessman will be clearly informed when clearing the clearance!
Since the Prime Minister Wei Yang presided over the reform, Qin State forbidden the wine shops and allowed them to drink during the Spring Festival.
On weekdays, the huge Qin State can never be found except for the Qin King’s Mansion, and even a bucket of wine cannot be bought!
If you dare to violate it, you will be punished by Qin Law!
"Ah? This... I might have been tragically tragically in the natural danger of the Huzhuo and had never heard of this clearly..."
Zhao Yun was lost in her heart and quickly found an excuse to coax her over, but she never mentioned drinking again. She immediately walked into the hall and found a free seat to sit down.
She was taking a tower boat from Xijing City and then taken back to the Qin King's Mansion by the emperor's brother, but how could she know these things?
However, she was still a little confused about this matter.
When the shopkeeper came forward to order food, he ordered a few side dishes at will and started chatting with the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, why do you think the Qin State prohibits alcohol? Besides, the wine... can be resisted?"
Zhao Yun was really surprised. After all, the countries of Jiuzhou have never heard of any country with such strict alcohol bans.
"I don't know why Qin banned alcohol, but I see that you are here alone, and it seems that you are not yet able to understand the laws and regulations of Qin, so I kindly say a few more words to you."
The shopkeeper seemed to be a kind-hearted and enthusiastic person in ancient times. Seeing that the store was not busy, he immediately sat aside and started chatting with the strange-behaved merchant.
"Our Qin State not only prohibits alcohol, but also prohibits drinking in groups! If you sell alcohol privately, once you find out, you will be punished as a Chengdan pound (hōng) with varying years!"
When Zhao Yun heard this, she was shocked!
It was just because she understood that Chengdan and Chong were both very popular punishments in various countries in Jiuzhou.
