In the Tang Dynasty, Hangzhou, also known as Hangyu, had a great economic development, and there was a night market in the city, which began to appear from this era.

There are many factors related to the development of the commercial economy in and out of the city, among which its geographical location is very important.

Hangzhou's geographical location is unique, the water and land transportation is convenient, and the two important waterways, the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty and the Qiantang River, have played a vital role in the economic development of the place.

The Qiantang River is an important channel for Hangzhou's overseas trade.

There is a ferry at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain in the city, namely Liupudu, which is the necessary place for merchant ships at home and abroad to enter Hangzhou from the Qiantang River.

Foreign businessmen can smoothly go along the Qiantang River to Hangzhou, and if the river tide is silted up due to the surging tide, they can reach Liupudu in Mingzhou via the Zhedong Canal through Xilingdu.

Through the introduction of the local soldiers who took care of the ship, Li Zhi had a whim, and the Grand Canal here could go directly to Yangzhou, Changzhou, Luoyang and other places, and the southern end point was the Qiantang River.

The northern end of the canal is Youzhou, and the two waterways in the north and south pass through 18 major areas, and the North Canal and the South Canal meet in Yuyang, and here they are sent into the Bohai Bay by the Haihe River.

Yangzhou, which is only 600 miles away, is the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, if it can win the entire canal shipping business, it will be beneficial to the future Shengjing shipping.

At this time, Hangzhou Assassin Shi led people to hurry over, Hangzhou in the Tang Dynasty was not Hangzhou City in later generations, but Hangzhou County with jurisdiction over Qiantang, Yanguan, Fuyang, Xincheng, Yuhang, Lin'an, Yuqian, and Tangshan counties.

The place where Li Zhi is located is Qiantang, where the county seat of Hangzhou County is located, and it was changed to Qiantang because of the avoidance of the country.

Hangzhou Assassin is known as Zhang Baoshan, obviously familiar with Li Zhihe and other figures, after exchanging greetings, he mentioned Guan Lugong, it turned out that this person had served as the governor of Changshu County, Zhang Xu's current position of the first few terms.

Guan Lugong's hometown is in Tang City, the ancient town of Changshu, so he is extremely influential in that area, Zhang Baoshan and Zhang Xu are the official positions placed through Guan Lugong.

Li Zhizhi is secretly happy, he can come whatever he wants, this person is also a native of Tang City, the ancient town, called Guan Lugong and uncle, his father and his cousin who did not come out of the five suits.

The original surname of the Guan family is Zhang, and the surname Guan was changed later, and many generals or officials in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties changed their surnames due to the secrecy of their identities during the war.

Hearing Li Zhi's thoughts, Zhang Baoshan smiled and said: "Brother Caiwen is the Shangshu Order of Shangshu Province, and the Ministry of Industry is under his control, and it is easier for the Ministry of Water to ask for a proper transportation route!" ”

The Caiwen brothers are Guan Ming, the elder brother of Princess Yiyi.

Seeing that the distinguished guests from the Western Regions were stranded on the ship, Li Zhi had the opportunity to have a deep conversation with him: "These state guests of the Arab Empire, you Hangzhou County must do your best!" ”

"No problem!" Zhang Baoshan belongs to that kind of straightforward character, "Hangzhou has beautiful scenery since ancient times, toppling the southeast, and it is also an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. When the distinguished guests come to Hangzhou, they will be expected to immerse themselves in the lakes and mountains here. As early as yesterday, I received a special delivery of 800 miles from the imperial court, and the Hangzhou Thorn History Mansion felt deeply responsible and would take care of it! ”

Li Zhi smiled and nodded, "I'm relieved!" Shengjing Shipping of Zhengqing Wenqitang, if you set up a transfer station on your site, can you have a suitable terminal and warehouse? ”

Zhang Baoshan pointed to the stops of Shengjing No. 1 and No. 2: "Mr. Li, this is in line." It was originally a camp of the navy, due to military needs, it has been moved to Liupudu in the middle of the year, and it has not had time to requisition here, just suitable for Shengjing shipping! ”

Li Zhi leaned in the direction of his finger,

In the huge courtyard behind a row of barracks in the twilight, there was a storehouse covering several acres, which was suitable for storing goods.

"As far as you know, can the Grand Canal waterway accommodate such a huge ship?" Li Zhi asked.

Zhang Baoshan replied with a smile: "The widest water surface is enough for two boats to run in parallel, that is, at some ferry ports or checkpoints, there will be a period of channel blockage, but most of the time is enough to ensure unimpeded!" ”

"How much silver will I need if I buy this pier and the land behind it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Baoshan was not hypocritical, knowing that the Li family had a great cause, and he would earn 10,000 silver every day, and he would have enough silver taels at hand.

So he immediately beckoned to a person behind him: "Master Wang, you immediately calculate, how much silver is needed for the former site of the third division of the original water army?" And get in touch with Li Dudu as soon as possible! ”

The master nodded and bowed, turned around and beckoned another person, and the general discussed together for a while, and then came back and said:

"Mr. Hui Li, Lord Thorn Shi, including the area of the dedicated water area and the former site of the military residence in the southeast corner, the entire factory area needs 34,523 taels of silver, but the relevant title deed is in the Governor's Mansion, and our Thorn Shi Mansion has no right to use the military land!"

Another person stepped forward to report: "The Governor's Mansion will arrive in a short time, and they have received the same order as us!" ”

Zhang Baoshan waved his hand and the other two left, turned around and whispered:

"The Governor's Mansion is the Jiangnan Provincial Government Office, and Li Tong and Li Yingsan are members of the royal family surnamed Li, and they belong to the four kings of Nanjiang!"

Li Zhi smiled and said: "There are no outsiders, I am an old friend with the two sons!" ”

"And such a coincidence?" Zhang Baoshan said in surprise.

Li Zhi didn't care about this person's deliberate behavior, so he didn't believe this person, and he didn't have an in-depth understanding of his contacts in Chang'an City.

Even if there is no such relationship, with his identity relationship with the King of Nanjiang, as long as it is not the Wu family, he is sure that it will be successfully purchased.

"Li Tong is the blood of the royal family, and the Shang Fang Sword in my hand is in charge of the royal family!" Li Zhi joked lightly.

"That is, Mr. Li also has a royal honorific title, and people surnamed Li will be afraid of three points!"

"Princess Yiyi is also here, does Zhang Tingshi know about my relationship with her?"

"Only people who are close to other places know about it, and as far as I know, there are not many people who know about it outside the families in Chang'an City."

"Because of this, Guan Lugong was very angry with me for a while, but now he is very satisfied, and he goes to my winery every once in a while to ask for some good wine and tea!"

This is a fact, before going to Huaqing Palace, Guan Lugong suddenly appeared, restored his previous happy appearance, and when he arrived at the wine shop, he shouted at Lao Liu Tou, and the name of the old man's pole changed quickly.

"It's mainly the old man, who has always attached great importance to Princess Yiyi's second-grade title, and she didn't let her enjoy the big wedding Ming Media is marrying, and she can't accept it psychologically for a while!"

Seeing Li Zhiken talking to himself about housework, Zhang Baoshan was of course happy to do so, so his tone instantly responded, and only similar intimate exchanges could shorten the distance between the two as soon as possible.

Li Zhi's idea is that for the sake of Shengjing shipping, with Zhang Baoshan's care on other people's one-third of an acre of land, he will save a lot of thought.

"I can't come here often in the future, the future Shengjing Shipping, with your Zhang family, needs to be taken care of by Lord Thorn Shi

Make move! ”

Seeing that Zhang Baoshan was so good, Li Zhicai said what he wanted to do.

Zhang Baoshan was taken aback and hurriedly refused:

"I and Mr. Li are also relatives who have turned a corner, it is my duty to help you take care of it, I will never let Mr. be so highly paid, which day I will come and bring me some good wine and tea that my uncle likes!"

He didn't dare to take over this component, except for his own official position, but he knew that just a docked big ship would have a huge amount of shipping interests.

If he had a few more similar ships, it would be an astonishing astronomical amount, and he didn't have the courage to earn so much silver on Li Zhi.

Li Zhi smiled:

"I'll tell you the truth, all of us in our family are cultivators, and our ambitions don't lie in the world. Zhengqing Wenqitang or Shengjing Shipping, I will give it to the people around me in another twenty or thirty years, maybe the future of Shengjing Shipping is the Guan family, you as a relative of the Guan family, occupy a share, it is also a matter of time! ”

"That's not going to happen, it's another thing for my uncle to give me in the future, at least the current situation doesn't allow me to have this thought!"

Li Zhi is happy, he can't help him at this time, he just needs to pass the word to him through Guan Lugong, and it makes no sense to entangle it at this time.

Besides, Zhang Baoshan's influence on Shengjing Shipping is self-evident, and it is not too much to exchange a component for a worry-free effort.

As he spoke, Mahdi, Hisham and the others stepped off the ship, followed by Aimar and Nasir, and of course they saw the arrival of the magistrates on the boat.

At this moment, Li Tong and Li Yingsan, the envoys of Jiangnan Province, also rushed to the scene.

After introducing each other, Zhang Baoshan smiled:

"Mr. Special Envoy, Hangzhou Thorn Mansion is the largest restaurant here, and a welcome banquet was put on for the distinguished guests, so that the gentlemen can taste the local authentic Hangzhou cuisine, the vinegar fish of the West Lake is a local must, out of our boundary, and the side can no longer make the most refined taste!"

After coming to Datang, Mahdi and his entourage already liked the hospitality situation with Eastern characteristics, and they had already been mentally prepared.

So he laughed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but this wine should be drunk a little less, in Ezhou City, but it was poured down twice by your people!" ”

Hangzhou cuisine is an important part of Han food culture and belongs to one of the important genres of Zhejiang cuisine.

In some aspects, whether it is in terms of work or color and fragrance, it surpasses traditional Zhejiang cuisine, which Li Zhi has also admired for a long time.

Li Tong also responded enthusiastically: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, all the wine is neatly arranged, and you will not pay attention to those guests, everything is transferred by the will of the adults!" ”

Everyone greeted each other eagerly for a while, and the other guests on the ship, especially the female dependents, also changed their clothes and rushed over.

Zhang Baoshan and Li Tong rushed forward first and met everyone one by one.

Especially Zhang Baoshan, who was very enthusiastic when he saw Princess Yiyi, Yiyi was also familiar with this person, so he had another heated discussion.

Li Zhi said happily: "I said that let's not keep standing by this river and chattering, since the master is hospitable, we will gladly go?" ”

After a while, the chariots and horses came to the front, and arranged their seats one by one, and Rahman shouted to the ship's guard, but there was no one to pull down, and then waved his hand and let him go. (https:)
