Not far from the place where we had settled was the location of a brightly lit night market, and the arrival of many foreigners obviously attracted countless onlookers to take a look.

After everyone left, after Li Zhicai and Li Tong went to the palace, the relationship between the two was also revealed at this time.

Li Tong belongs to the junior in the Li family, and is called Li Qi and Li He's uncle.

Li Zhi therefore made fun of him, so that the two became acquainted with each other after a while.

On the way, when asked about the old site of the barracks, Li Tong patted his chest and made a guarantee.

Seeing that another way to make money that he came up with on the spot was actually solved so smoothly, Li Yi was very interested for a while.

When asked why Hangzhou's business environment is so strong, you must know that the western capital Chang'an Night Market is also rare, and only the east and west markets are nearby after the market closes at night.

On the other hand, Hangzhou Qiantang City has been traveling all the way, and there are many people in the night market next to the aisle without interruption.

Li Tong explained:

"There is a local saying: open 30,000 rooms. In other words, there are 30,000 households engaged in commercial activities in the city, which is an exaggeration, but it also reflects the prosperity of the commercial economy today. After the economic center of gravity gradually shifted southward, Datang's finances were very dependent on Jiangnan, and Hangzhou, as a famous county in the southeast, had 100,000 merchants and 500,000 taxes, and the taxes of a city accounted for half of the national fiscal revenue. ”

Li Zhixin was shocked, if he said so, so many taxes could be collected in Hangzhou Qiantang City, it can be seen that this city is prosperous, and the people live a rich life.

When the people have money in their hands, the night market will have the necessity to exist.

"How many people are here?"

"Around 500,000, it may be inferior to Chang'an and Luoyang, but it will not be too bad."

"With so many merchants, which one is the main business?"

"Silk weaving industry, it is one of the famous Tugong items in Hangzhou, the production of white woven silk, scarlet silk, yarn and persimmon silk and other silk fabrics, but also the most important commodity for foreign businessmen to buy."

Li Zhi's heart moved, and he also brought a lot of silk fabrics produced in Dongzhushan, but although the kind of high-end goods were rumored to be Tang Jin by foreign businessmen all over the world, he also needed to bring some silk fabrics of slightly worse quality when he traveled west.

You might as well buy some here and take them with you, if the sales are good, it is not a good thing.

The place where Shengjing shipping ships dock is on the Qiantang River, which belongs to the outer city area, not far from Phoenix Mountain, that is, between the Fengshan Gate and the Wangjiang Gate in the inner city.

At this time, it is from the west of Fengshan Gate, and the restaurant for the dinner is located on the shore of West Lake, and the night market is most concentrated along the inner city wall.

That is to say, more than ten miles away, always brightly lit, obviously verifying Li Tong's statement, this is really prosperous, just in this regard, Chang'an, Luoyang are inferior.

Approaching the shore of the West Lake, Qingqi and his entourage got off the car early to look around, the lake is surrounded by Wulin Mountain on three sides, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is pleasant, which attracts a group of people from the Western Regions on her side to marvel.

Although it is already winter and the lake is very cold, there are still many people who are enjoying the mountains and rivers, or enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, or drinking and talking poetry, and paper lanterns hanging from the low treetops can be seen everywhere.

The beautiful sheng song is another great scenery on the edge of the West Lake after dark, and the level varies from the music officials in the court to the folk lovers, all of whom are in a cluster of 30 or 50 people, each with its own appreciation.

There are also young women dancing to the sheng song, and often that place is the most crowded place, and bursts of applause are heard from time to time.

In the evening, there is still a backdrop of boating in the lake in the twilight, and the slight chill is ignored.

The restaurant of the dinner party is called Deyue Building, there are two rows of women in brocade robes lined up in front of the door to welcome, all of them are tall but plump, fat where they should be fat, thin where they should be thin, and the Tang Dynasty advocates women's posture with fat as the beauty, and they get the most perfect display on them.

"There is a lake that is not wide, calm as a mirror; The mountains are not high, and they are winding; The lakes and mountains are close by, natural and harmonious, and they look charming and colorful. These few sentences are the most fitting description of West Lake! ”

After inviting everyone to sit down, Zhang Baoshan said.

"Six hundred years ago, it was once flooded by the sea, and the West Lake and the Qiantang River were connected together, and it was not until the Qin and Han dynasties that the main urban area began to gradually become land. Because of the need to build embankments to protect against seawater, the West Lake was gradually cut off from the Qiantang River and slowly evolved into a freshwater lake. ”

This is Li Tong added on the side.

The two depict from different angles, but both fully reflect their concern and love for this place, because the ostentatious meaning in the two tones is very obvious.

Hisham sighed: "This is winter, and if it is spring, it will be intoxicating and you will not want to return home." ”

Li Zhixin also nodded secretly, no wonder Zhang Baoshan said that the prospective guests would indulge in the lakes and mountains here.

Now it is only a corner of the West Lake at night, which has deeply shocked the people of the Western Regions.

They come from a rare oasis in the desert, the same Arabian robes, high temperatures and very dry air, temperate deserts, vast land areas, far from the sea, which are the daily contact of the people of the Western Regions.

The verdant landscape of the Tang Dynasty alone is enough to make them linger, although there are four distinct seasons here, and the huge changes in temperature will make these people feel a lot of discomfort.

But the emotion of the exotic scenery was soon broken by the delicious and fragrant dishes served one after another.

Guests are also rapidly changing from tourists to diners, and the rich and diverse food culture of Toto is just as important to them as the natural scenery.

During the banquet, the aroma of food and wine overflowed, and everyone was also open to talk.

During the exchange, Li Zhi was very relieved, Zhang Baoshan was still very careful, and sent food to nearly 1,000 people on the three boats.

There are so many people, it is natural to talk about abundance, two dishes for one person, and a bowl of soup must be guaranteed, and this cost alone will be a huge amount.

Of course, Li Zhi would not be stingy, and announced on the spot that he would leave enough rice paper and small notes for the Governor's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion.

The value of paper is only high or low, and he knows in his heart that the local government is doing so hard will definitely be a huge expense.

If Zhang Baoshan and others want to sit in their official positions for a long time, they must not be criticized by others in the palace because of this.

This kind of feedback is essential, otherwise it may bring some hidden dangers to others.

For those people from the Western Regions, what impressed them the most about this trip was the luxury of the imperial court's reception, which could be seen from the envious eyes that occasionally flashed in them.

After three days in Hangzhou, we set off again on the fourth day.

The next stop is Yangzhou, from Yangzhou to Mingzhou, and then it is about to enter the East China Sea.

On the second day of Panhuan in Yangzhou, he went east along the river and arrived in Mingzhou in one day and one night.

Mingzhou is a city built along the Sun Lake and the Moon Lake, because of this

There are two lakes in it, one is called Sun Lake, the other is called Moon Lake, and the sun and moon just make up a Ming character, which is where the title of Mingzhou comes from.

The day lake is biased to the south of the city, and two rivers are drawn out from the day lake, one is the east river of Tianfeng Tower, and the other is the west river of Tianfeng Tower, all of which are connected with the river in front of the county.

Moon Lake is located in the southwest corner of the city, widely build pavilions and pavilions, plant flowers and trees all over the four seasons, the lake surface is round like the full moon, and the curved place is like the eyebrow moon.

Because of the beautiful scenery and quiet environment of the two lakes of Sun and Moon, it attracted many official eunuchs, and literati and artists settled here.

Mingzhou Port has become the largest port in Datang, in addition to its own geographical location, it has a huge relationship with Rihu Lake, Moon Lake, Tianfeng Tadong River, Tianfeng Taxi River, and Xianqian River.

Along with the increasing prosperity of the port, the foreign exchange and trade of Meinesu also flourished, and it had trade links with Goryeo, Ryukyu Island, Southeast Asia, and the Arab world.

Mingzhou Fuzhou County Administration Office for the Guanting Sanjiang Estuary, Yuyao River, Fenghua River and Yongjiang River of the three rivers confluence, because of the high terrain, is also called the Sanjiang Heights, the later generations of Ningbo City, the Sanjiang Heights is its predecessor.

Among the many miles in the Sanjiang Heights, there is a city center bridge official market, which is the place where Mingzhou shops are everywhere, and the center of domestic trade and foreign trade transactions.

The reason why Li Zhi deliberately came here was that he wanted to make a living from the official city of Xinqiao, and he mentioned this matter in his letter to Gaozong, so as to carry out a follow-up investigation of Mingzhou.

And the names he borrowed were these people from the Western Regions with royal status.

Therefore, after the ship arrived in Mingzhou, under the pretext of a long journey, he left time for everyone to rest, and took advantage of this opportunity, he only fooled the princes of Mahdi, Adan, Mehammad, and Mansur to come.

He was accompanied by Hisham, Aimar, and Nasir, and was guarded by Rahman, Nasser, and Fuchen.

Since he wanted to make trouble, he naturally couldn't let more ordinary people put themselves in danger, but he covered it up very well, and even Fu Chen didn't know the purpose of this trip.

Guy Li Teng once told him that the official city of Xinqiao is a semi-black market, and the smuggled goods operated by the local forces led by Wu Sibao, a member of the Wu family, are concentrated here.

Li Zhi had been misled before, and the official document of the imperial court would be issued a day after the arrival of their group, so there would be no Mingzhou Assassin Mansion to greet them.

The official city of the city is very prosperous, there are more than 100 lines of goods and wealth in the city, all of which are surrounded by the courtyard wall of the four-sided mansion, and the curiosities of the four directions are accumulated, and the rice rows, silk rows, iron rows and other rows can also be seen everywhere.

Li Zhi led everyone to find a place to sell foreign goods, and a group of people from the Western Regions were also interested in looking for hometown specialties that appeared in other places.

As a result, the ships of the Outer Domains were visible almost every day, and their appearance in the Western Regions was not much conspicuous in the market.

In a certain shop, feeling the existence of cultivators inside, Li Zhixin secretly rejoiced.

It's easy to deliberately stir up disputes, and picking and choosing a certain item will smoothly cause the impatience of the guys in the store.

As a result, the quarrel occurred, and Li Yifang showed a tough attitude again, so he quickly brought out the two cultivators.

One of the third-level hunters had the most hot temper, and he slapped Li Zhi on the head.

Li Zhi flipped his hand and grabbed the man's palm and pinched it, and at the moment of contact, he removed his arm.

Then kicked it out of the store, and another first-level master screamed, that is, he jumped straight up, and his fist led to a sharp knife cut!
