Yuangai Suwen wanted to go out and have a look, and inquire.

Yuan Taiyu nodded: "Yes." ”

Yuangai Suwen changed into a Tang-style robe, and even his hair accessories and accessories were changed to Tang-style.

Out of the door, Yuangai Suwen walked through the two street corners, looked at a few people dressed like the Khitan clan from a distance, and walked a few steps to greet him: "Everyone, I am a businessman, I want to buy a few good horses, I heard that you have them." ”

These people are indeed Khitans, and after looking Yuangai Suwen up and down, one of them spoke: "Goguryeo, you didn't buy horses in Liaodong but ran to Chang'an." People like you are dangerous, not like a serious person, don't talk to us. ”

After saying that, these people left directly, no matter what Yuan Gai Suwen called, no one paid attention to him.

Yuangai Suwen looked himself up and down, his dress was the dress of a wealthy businessman in the Tang Dynasty, which was not wrong at all, and his accent was almost no different from that of ordinary people in Chang'an City, how could these people see that they were Goguryeo.

Yuangai Su Wen was like a headless fly spinning around for a long time, and finally saw a clue in Pingkangfang.

There is a sign hanging in front of the door of one of the courtyards in the Heikang Workshop, and the sign reads the words Omuro Wei Kaikan. Yuangai Suwen stepped forward, but was stopped by someone before he reached the door: "Someone stopped, but it was a friend." ”

"Nope." Yuangai Suwen shook his head.

"Do you have an invitation?"

"No!"

"Then please leave, this place does not accept ordinary guests." As the man spoke, two more guards with short sticks came over, and it was clear that if Yuangai Suwen did not leave, then they would use violent means.

Yuangai Suwen took out a piece of silver: "May I ask a few questions?" ”

The one motioned for the two guards to retreat, and then rejected the silver from Yuangai Suwen. At the same time, he said: "We have rules, and we are not rewarded by outsiders." Besides, Chang'an City has rules that do not allow gold and silver to be traded, unless it is a customized gold and silver coin, and it is harmful to me to accept this small piece of silver from you. ”

Yuangai Suwen wanted to say something more, but he had already signaled him to leave.

In any case, he is also the eldest son of the first clan of Goguryeo, and Yuangai Suwen can't be cheeky enough to stick to it when others have already driven him away.

But what he didn't expect was that after leaving several houses, none of them let him in.

A thought appeared in Yuan Gai Suwen's head, this was not arranged by the Tang people.

At the end of the street, at last there was a person in front of the house who was willing to say a few words to him.

On the door of this house is the word Wushu Guild Hall.

Compared with other halls, this one seemed a little deserted, the people at the door were sitting on the steps basking in the sun, and Yuan Gai Suwen approached and asked, "This brother, can you have a conversation?" ”

"Goguryeo, come and sit in the sun and I'll get you a cup of hot tea."

The most incomprehensible thing for Yuangai Suwen is why he can tell at a glance that he is a Goguryeo. When he brought the tea in his hand, he asked this question.

"In Chang'an City, only Goguryeo people don't wear pants. There are very few Baekje people in Chang'an, and even if there are, they are considered Goguryeo, and the Silla people in Chang'an wear another kind of half-Tang and semi-Silla style of clothing. The rest of the ethnic groups have their own national costumes, and some Tang people also like Turkic riding costumes. But there are pants. ”

"I'm ......," said Yuan Gai Suwen, who was about to pull up his long coat, indicating that he was wearing pants.

But the one in front of the door pointed to himself, and Yuangai Suwen stopped. Because his pants don't have a crotch, they still have an open crotch, and they need to be blocked by a skirt.

The little guy in front of the door said: "Also, in Chang'an, in addition to Goguryeo, all the surrounding ethnic groups have their own guilds, and we don't have anyone here because the wool season is coming, and the first batch of people who send wool over will live in a few days, and I want to chat with you when the time comes, and I am not available." ”

"Guild Hall?"

"Yes, Guild Hall. There are specially formulated laws in Chang'an City, the hall is built according to the folk customs of various ethnic groups, the folk customs in the hall are greater than the law, except for the ten evils, everything that happens in the hall is the folk customs first and then the Tang law. Therefore, each clan usually does not like other ethnic groups to come to their own clan, except for the people who are good friends. ”

Yuan Gai Suwen understood, and immediately asked, "Then is there a Silla Guild Hall?" ”

"Yes, but the Silla Hall has been closed for renovation in the past few days, and I heard that there was a mess on the Silla side, and some people rebelled, so the Silla Hall closed the door on the pretext of renovation, and the real Silla people came to enter through the back door, and did not accept the Silla people in the rebel area. Silla merchants are a big business district in this guild street. ”

Yuangai Suwen immediately asked, "What about us Goguryeo merchants?" ”

"You look at it as the first time you came to Chang'an, and there are no Goguryeo merchants in Chang'an City. Even if there is, it is only a few small traders, and the business of up to 18,000 yuan a year is called a dealer, not a businessman. Several of the top merchants of Silla merchants combined to sell millions of goods a year. ”

After asking, the little guy in front of the door asked again: "What business do you want to do in Chang'an?" ”

"I'm a medicinal herb." Yuangai Suwen casually made up one.

"Medicinal herbs, this is big business. But how did I hear that all the medicinal materials of Goguryeo were purchased by the Yan people and then sold to the Tang Dynasty, you plan to come and sell them yourself, which is very good. ”

The more Yuan Gai Suwen talked, the more surprised he became.

Because he found that the Tang Dynasty in his memory was completely different from the present, and the Tang Dynasty at this time was a completely unfamiliar country.

Not only are the rules different, but the dress of the Tang people has changed dramatically, when did the nobles start wearing short clothes, and when even the common people asked the regime.

What's even more amazing is that there are at least more than 3 million yuan of medicinal materials in Chang'an City every year, which are purchased by the Jin and Khitan people from Goguryeo, and then trafficked to Chang'an, and the income is more than twice that of the Goguryeo people.

Yuangai Suwen asked again: "Then why don't we have a guild hall in Goguryeo?" ”

"Then I have to ask you short-witted officials in Goguryeo, and there are also brainless kings. Last year, when Datang renovated Pingkangfang, Liu Juma proposed the idea of the guild hall. Our prince Wuzhou Governor was the first to grab this place for our Turkic people, and this is the most central street corner location in Pingkangfang. ”

"What about Goguryeo?"

"There is nothing that the people of the guild hall don't know about this matter, a small official in Goguryeo ran to the Ministry of Rites and asked for a piece of land for them, and the people of the Ministry of Rites don't know about this hall, so they will tell the official in Goguryeo when they ask clearly, no."

The little guy in front of the door laughed when he said this: "That stupid official, everyone's land was bought by himself, he still thought that the Tang Dynasty was the former Sui, and the treasury was empty and had to fill the scene, and everything was given away in vain." This is a good purchase, and the land bought is built by yourself, and this courtyard is the same as your own home. ”

"He didn't buy it?"
