1. Li Shimin replied after thinking about it: "I don't know, but when the firewood horse said that he wanted to go back to Chang'an a year ago, he didn't rush back before the New Year." I heard that there is heavy snow in Yanzhou, and the snow in the mountains is close to a zhang, or the road is difficult. ”

Liu Mu asked again: "Second brother, is this a snow disaster?" ”

Liu Mu asked if it was a snow disaster, and Li Shimin shook his head.

"No, Ruixue." Li Shimin explained to Liu Mu: "The documents from various prefectures and counties have been reported in Shangshu Province. Several carboniferous mines have been found in various parts of Yanzhou, and the price of the new twelve-hole charcoal cake is much lower than the price of charcoal, so the winter is not cold, and the people also have enough food. ”

"The clan land of the Taiyuan Wang clan, the carboniferous mine is a mountain and a mountain, but they don't know it. What is even more a pity is that even if there are carboniferous mines, countless carboniferous mines, they are useless. ”

Li Shimin did not know the situation of the Taiyuan Wang family.

So Li Shimin didn't mention the Taiyuan Wang family at all, but said: "There are several counties in Yanzhou that have reported two cases of the death of the whole household, as well as the case of three people and one crazy person who died in one household. ”

Willow asked, "Charcoal turbidity?" ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry have jointly issued a document requiring all state capitals to use the charcoal stove, as well as the necessary stove chimney in the winter heating house, and at least open the window for a quarter of an hour every day, etc., all townships, li, and villages must send someone to inform them, and the village chief must be familiar with the specifications for the use of the charcoal stove." ”

"Second brother, since I started using charcoal, I'm afraid there are nearly 100 people who have died from charcoal turbidity."

"It has nothing to do with charcoal, when charcoal was used before, there were also accidents and deaths reported in various states and counties every year."

While Li Shimin was talking to Liu Mu, the four guards were scattered around, not only for safety, but also to prevent anyone from overhearing the conversation between them.

While chatting, the two soon arrived at the street between Shengpingfang and Yongchongfang.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is a day of reunion and celebration for all families.

On the east side of Yongchongfang, the door is half-closed, and there are not many people in and out of the square. On the side of Shengping Fang, the door of the workshop was wide open, and I didn't see many people wearing new clothes, most of them were wearing gray linen clothes.

Li Shimin rode on the horse and did not get closer, looking at the busy crowd in front of him from a distance.

These people are very commanding and busy.

Someone is replacing the broken bricks on the drain, and someone is repairing the damaged tiles on the roof of the mill wall.

The wall of the Tang Dynasty is not high, only six feet, that is, about one meter five, which is about the height of an adult's shoulder, which is just a symbolic wall with limitations.

At this time, another team came out of the square and began to press a deep pit with a diameter of one foot and a half along the wall of the square every three steps, and then there were three rows of ten bowl-sized squares in each row.

Li Shimin asked a janissary to approach: "You go and inquire, what are they doing?" ”

"If you go back to the saints, I have a cousin who lives in this fang, and they reported to Chang'an Mansion as early as last year, planning to pool money from all households in the fang to repair the wall of the workshop. They thought that the wall of the workshop was not comparable with the inside of the workshop, and the difference was too far away, so it should be repaired. I heard that a total of 70 yuan was collected, and several large households made up to 100 yuan. ”

Hearing the wall of the workshop, Li Shimin understood.

Many of the walls of Chang'an North City are beautifully repaired, and there is a circle of trees outside the wall.

Li Shimin pointed to the door: "Go in and have a look." ”

Horseback riding is prohibited in the workshop, and Li Shimin does not intend to violate this regulation.

In fact, Shengpingfang Liumu is also the first time to enter, although this is where he planned it.

Shengpingfang needs a medium square, and the size of Pingkang Fang is the same, according to the modern length unit, that is, 1,125 meters from east to west, 833 meters from north to south. This includes drains, green areas, and walls.

Small workshops, such as the newly built Wutong Fang, are only half of Shengping Fang.

The largest Yongxing Fang outside the Yanxi Gate is four times the area of Wutong Fang.

Li Shimin and Liu Mu walked into Shengping Fang, which is still according to the Tang style building rules, with two roads in the north and south and one in the east and west. There are six square gates, and the road is five zhang wide, that is, fifteen meters in later generations.

After Li Shimin entered Shengpingfang, his eyes lit up.

This was completely different from the fang he had seen before, with a large tree every five steps on both sides of the street, all of which were locust trees. Then there are two long stone benches under each big tree, and then there is a rattan box under the tree, which is a bin.

Behind the tree, the width of the original street in Datang has been increased by about three steps.

The main road is paved with large blue bricks, but the two sides are paved with red bricks. Then there are almost exactly the same door, the front of the street store, but each store has the same sign hanging at the door, written about the same, all of them are New Year's celebrations, closed for three days, five days, seven days.

Behind this row of shops, there are all four-storey buildings, and the distance between each building is about 10 zhang.

Between the shops there is a single gate, the first district of Shangshu Shengpingfang, and the fifth district written across the road, the same gate.

Li Shimin was going to go out to have a look, and a person with a broken arm wearing a uniform with the word "security guard" on his body stretched out his hand and was about to stop, but before the forbidden army stepped forward, Liu Mu took out his token and shook it, and the one immediately stepped aside.

Li Shimin didn't go inside again and asked, "This door, don't you allow idle people to wait inside?" ”

"We all know the people who live here, or if they come to the house, they have to register with the fang official and have a temporary pass card. People outside the market can be free to go to the market, but they are not allowed to enter the residential area. Unless there is a pass token for the Officer. Speaking of this, the security guard with the broken arm glanced at Liu Mu and said, "Or the token of the chief boss." ”

"Oh? Why is it the token of the general company? ”

"Shengpingfang was built by the General Shipping Division, and the General Shipping Division often comes to inspect hygiene, flower planting, drainage, fire prevention and other matters, so we know the token of the General Shipping Division."

Li Shimin asked again: "Or what about the forbidden army token?" ”

After the one-armed security guard was stunned for a moment, he scratched his scalp with his hand and thought for a while: "I guess no, the regulations only write the pass card given by the fang official, the commander of the general ship, and I haven't heard of the forbidden army token." ”

Li Shimin laughed: "It's good, it's good." Where did you lose your arm? ”

When it came to his arms, the security guard's chest was puffed up, and he was very proud: "Follow the general and fight the Turks, and behead twelve in ten years in the army." ”

"How are the days going, and you still haven't rested during the New Year?"

"You're a big shot, it's not the New Year. The four brothers looked like they were good in the army, and they didn't stop. I'm on duty, giving out ten more dollars a day, and each person has ten days off in the twenty days of the New Year, which is worth ten days, and then three catties of high-quality pork belly, and there must be someone on duty. ”

spoke very straight and simple, and Li Shimin felt comfortable listening to it.
