Anqing Mansion, located in the southwest of Jingguo, was once used as the capital of Jingguo, the capital city is extremely prosperous, and it is the second largest capital city in Jingguo in addition to Jingdu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, on an official road leading to the southwest gate of Anqing Mansion City, several horses with shiny coats and sturdy bodies galloped over, and a woman in a white suit pulled the reins, and the horse let out a long neigh, raised the horse's hooves high, and stopped when there was still some distance from the city gate.

"Phew!"

Several voices came one after another, and several sturdy men skillfully turned over and dismounted, and the horses' hooves trampled on the ground chaotically, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Uncle, Fucheng has arrived!" The big man surnamed Fang grabbed Li Yi's arm and jumped off the horse.

Li Yi looked up at the city wall several feet high, and there was no end in sight on both sides, and he couldn't help but feel that his legs were weak, and his eyes were dizzy.

"Gross!"

Holding on to a willow tree on the edge of the moat and vomiting for a while, the feeling of extreme discomfort subsided slightly.

Of course, he didn't feel a sense of admiration for the mountains because he saw the city wall more than ten meters high, and he used this behavior to express the shock in his heart.

For a person who has never ridden a horse, he was forcibly pressed on a horse and bumped on a mountain road for more than ten miles, and he can still stand here at this moment, which already shows that Li Yi's physical fitness is very good.

The first trip to the city was not as perfect as Li Yi imagined, and before entering the city gate, he felt like he was in prostration.

"Uncle, your body is too weak, you have to practice hard!" The big man surnamed Fang looked at Li Yi's uncomfortable appearance and couldn't help but say.

The horse that has only been riding for a while vomits like this, this new aunt is good at everything, but his body is too weak, and he doesn't look like a man......

Li Yi glared at the big man fiercely, didn't bother to talk to him, turned his head, and looked at this bustling city with a relatively formal gaze for the first time.

The pedestrians in and out of the city gate are endless, the goods carts and horses are mixed in, it looks crowded, but it is orderly, the line of sight looks inside the city gate, it is crowded, the streets on both sides are full of various stalls, the shouting of the vendors can be heard outside the city gate, Li Yi followed Liu Ruyi and others to lead the horse into the city gate, and finally felt the prosperity of the city.

The streets under his feet are all paved with square bluestones, the eaves of the buildings on both sides of the street are rolled up, the carved railings are painted with phoenixes, full of antiquity, and passers-by in ancient costumes walk by, so that Li Yi once again realizes what kind of world he is in now.

Of course, the horse led by the big man surnamed Fang is not the property of Liuyezhai, Jingguo is very short of horses, to a large extent, it has to rely on imports from other countries to meet normal needs, the price of a horse on the market is about seventy or eighty taels of silver, at this time one or two silver is about equivalent to a thousand copper coins, Li Yi roughly estimated the price of this era, a copper coin is roughly equivalent to five dimes in later generations, so calculated, a horse converted into RMB, it should be ------ anyway, it is a lot of money.

If every family in Liuye Village has a horse, then there is no need to eat bran vegetables, and the average living standard is definitely above the well-off, and it is striding into the middle class.

This is exactly in line with the old saying, the one who rides a handsome horse is not necessarily a prince, but also may be a ------ who raises horses!

That's right, raising horses is a sideline for some people in Liuye Village, including the surname Dahan.

Most of these people's parents are from bandits, with pure bandit blood, the bandit who can't raise horses is not a good bandit, and fortunately they have inherited these excellent genes from their parents, although they all seem to be rough men, but equestrianism is very comparable, with this skill usually earn some extra money, but also subsidize the family.

However, since ancient times, most of the coolies who sold could only be mixed with food and clothing, and the exploitation of feudal society was even more serious, and the wages they received could only ensure that the family would not starve to death.

Every month, Dahan and others surnamed Fang would take these horses down the mountain for an inspection, and by the way, they would receive their wages for the previous month.

On the way here, Li Yi asked him, the monthly salary for raising horses is 100 Wen, the salary is really low, and it is just a few catties of rice, and there are only about four months of raising horses every year, and they have to last a whole year for these hundreds of Wen.

made an appointment to meet when they went back, Fang surnamed Dahan and others led the horses away, Li Yi worked hard in a blink of an eye, and Liu Ruyi disappeared, leaving him alone.

This made Li Yi puzzled in his heart, they weren't afraid that they would take the opportunity to run away?

Thinking of the neurotic old man who wanted to catch himself, he couldn't go back to his previous home, and after checking his money bag, Li Yi suddenly felt that it was good to stay in Liuye Village......

I spent four pennies to buy two steamed buns on the street, and after taking a bite, the skin was thin and filling, and after eating the two buns, the hunger in my stomach suddenly disappeared.

Li Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the buns he bought outside before, he couldn't see the filling when he took a bite, and those guys who only had money in their eyes couldn't wait to sell the steamed buns as buns......

One hundred and twenty-eight wen has already spent four wen, originally Li Yi still wanted to rely on this money to have a good time, but the reality is cruel, after walking around the street, Li Yi found that he seemed to be able to only ...... Eat steamed buns.

Whether in modern or ancient times, he was a poor man, which made Li Yi feel an inexplicable sourness in his heart.

Especially after seeing the prosperity of Anqing Mansion, Li Yi has already made up his mind in his heart, and he will immediately consider ways to make money after he goes back.

Modern people have the pride of modern people, not to mention that he also brought a cheat that can be called against the sky, if he still lives a life of eating bran all day long, it is too embarrassing to cross the face of the person.

In the process of strolling, I bought some vegetable seeds at a roadside stall, and happened to see hawthorn sold at the stall next to me, and I also bought a few catties.

The white sugar that was deducted last time was useless, and I haven't tasted the taste of rock sugar gourd for a long time.

Even in the entire Jingguo, Anqing Mansion can be regarded as a top and prosperous city, with Goolan Tile House, restaurants and brothels lined up, but unfortunately Li Yi can only walk around at the door in these places.

After walking around the street, I was a little tired from walking, so I simply found a corner to rest.

This is a street corner with a slightly less pedestrian flow, not far from Li Yi's side, there is a table and a chair, there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and there are some paper tubes on one side, a young scholar is sitting there, holding a thread-bound book in his hand and reading it intently.

In these years, scholars are short of money, and it is a very common thing to set up a table to sell paintings and characters on the street, Li Yi was thinking about whether he should follow suit when he has no money in the future, when suddenly a man in coarse cloth clothes ran over from a distance, ran to the scholar, and left after panting and saying a few words.

After the man left, the scholar's face immediately became a little anxious and nervous, and he suddenly looked up at Li Yi who was standing under the tree next to him, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he walked over quickly.
