Chapter 238: Lin'an Customs
went out to play comfortably in the body of a sin, without caring about the consequences, which also had the credit of Zhu Zhao'er's instigation.
It's not that Li Fengwu hasn't thought about this problem.
However, since the official family allows me to travel, and I don't even need to report to the criminal department to play, I obviously don't treat myself as a prisoner, so why can't I go out and have a good time?
It's been a long time since I've been to the Qinglou.
It's been a long time since I've flirted with the pretty shy Jiangnan lady who can't get the cool breeze.
Today's Lin'an, although the prosperous era of Qianchun's rule has not yet opened, but during the later reign of Gaozong, except for the southern invasion of Hailing, there was almost no war in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Today, with the recuperation of civilians, Lin'an is far from being comparable to border cities such as Jiankang, and has become a large city with a population of nearly one million.
During the Xianchun period, it even reached a peak population of 1.24 million.
In ancient times, a large city with a population of one million was already a giant existence, and the heyday of Kaifeng during the Northern Song Dynasty was nothing more than that, Li Fengwu walked out of Wutong Commune, and suddenly gave birth to a feeling of being in the afterlife.
This Nima is really a bit crowded, especially the royal street and a few tiles.
Lin'an leans on Phoenix Mountain in the south, West Lake in the west, plains in the north and east, the city is an irregular rectangle that is long and narrow from north to south, the Inner Palace occupies the Phoenix Mountain in the south, and the whole city block is in the north, forming the pattern of "Nangong North City".
The commercial and handicraft industries throughout the city occupy a large proportion in the city, and the residential area is in the middle of the city, and many mansions of dignitaries and nobles are located on Qingyun Street behind the commercial market next to Yujie.
The cultural area composed of Guozijian, Taixue and Wuxue is located in the Qiantang Gate near the northwest corner of the West Lake, which is dotted with many gardens, and it is a picturesque city.
The royal street is the main road, from the north gate of the palace and the Ning gate to the north of the city Jingling Palace, the total length is about 4500 meters, in addition, there are four north-south roads similar to the direction of the royal street, there are also four east-west arterial roads, all of which are passages between the east and west city gates, and there are several secondary streets, all leading to the central royal street, forming a grid of different sizes.
The southern section of Yujie is the government office area, the middle section is the central comprehensive business district, and there are also some industrial streets and tiles where cultural and entertainment activities are concentrated, and the government business district is on the east side of the southern section of Yujie.
The status of Yujie in Lin'an is like the Nanjing Road in Shanghai in later generations, and Mengliang recorded: "From the outside of the Hening Gate to the bottom of the Guanqiao, there is no one who does not buy and sell."
It can be seen that the prosperity of the Royal Street, especially the upcoming Spring Festival, is really a succession on the Royal Street, and people are like walking ants.
Li Fengwu's itinerary plan today is to Yujie in the morning and tiles in the afternoon.
Because they wanted to go to the Royal Street, there would be a large number of delicious snacks waiting for the three of them, and under the call of Li Fengwu and the response of Zhu Zhaoer and Li Julu, the three of them came to the Royal Street on an empty stomach.
Wutong Commune is located near Zhong'an Bridge, not far from the Royal Street, but under Zhu Zhao'er's coquettish and threatening proposal, the three of them still spared the road and came to the outside of the Hening Gate, preparing to visit this Royal Street today.
I have to say that shopping is really a woman's nature.
The royal street is more than four kilometers long, and Li Fengwu's scalp is numb just thinking about it, but he remembers a sentence: Man, if you enjoy a woman's youth, you have to accept her willfulness.
Today, I will give up my life to accompany my wife.
Li Fengwu is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and he doesn't pay attention to the Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street, Nanjing Road in the magic capital of later generations, and Chunxi Road in Chengdu, and he also went to visit when he was a spare tire, so he was not very surprised.
But Zhu Zhao'er came out of health, how could he have seen such a prosperous scene, and her face was flushed with excitement, like a seven or eight-year-old girl.
But the three of them were grumbling with hunger.
Finally saw a shop that bought porridge and crystal buns, Li Fengwu grabbed Zhu Zhao'er, who was going to the rouge shop opposite, "I'm in a panic, I'll go after eating, I will buy and sell with you today, and the officials still have a little money." ”
Zhu Zhao'er's eyes lit up, and she didn't notice Li Fengwu's words, even if she did, with today's warmth, Zhu Zhao'er probably didn't care.
So, once a woman accepts her fate, she will really be eaten to the bottom.
I have eaten breakfast, visited rouge shops, glass shops, silk villages, embroidered shoe shops...... Li Fengwu is already excited, and Li Julu is miserable, our girl, although I am five big and three coarse, I carry everything alone, which is really tiring.
Zhu Zhao'er was still full of interest, her eyes were sharp, and she found a silk village, "Hey, look at it, isn't that our splendid silk village?" ”
Li Fengwu smiled, "Yes, our family." ”
I like the word "us" very much.
Zhu Zhao'er ran over happily, "You said it was our family, can you be cheap for us." "There is no foot binding, and the wind is fast running with long legs.
Li Fengwu smiled bitterly, since it is all from our family, it still costs a lot of money and hurts peace......
At noon, Li Fengwu finally showed signs of collapse, while Li Julu had already collapsed, and there were many things that Zhu Zhaoer bought, embroidered shoes, skirts, glass toys, porcelain, wooden toys, and a kaleidoscope of things from the Western Regions...... There are even two bandeau bras that Li Fengwu personally selected for Zhu Zhaoer.
finally persuaded Zhu Zhao'er to go to lunch, and Li Fengwu already wanted to go back.
But he was pulled back to Zhong'an Bridge by Zhu Zhao'er.
There are 24 tiles in Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty, among which the north tile of Zhong'an Bridge is the largest.
Wazi flourished in the Song Dynasty, and its appearance marked the completion of a transformation of urban life and urban landscape. Before the Song Dynasty, shops were not allowed to open on the streets of the city, and curfews were imposed on the streets at night. In the Northern Song Dynasty, merchants bought and sold on the street as a fait accompli, and the emperor issued an edict to admit the status quo, so the streets were bustling with shops.
In big cities, a kind of fixed gathering and playing place also appears in a lively place, and this fixed playing place is called "tile".
As the citizen class grew, tiles rose.
The reason why it is called "tile" is because there was no ready-made name at that time, and the Song people found that this kind of funneer gathered and scattered, like bricks and tiles, so they called the place where they gathered and played Washe, tile.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Zimu wrote in "Menglianglu": "Those who are vasher are said to be disintegrated by those who come, and when they go, they are easy to gather and disperse." ”
There are a lot of things to play in the tile, there are groceries and places to sell food and drink, as well as sumo wrestling, shadow plays, miscellaneous plays, puppets, singing to earn, kicking, memorizing business riddles, learning from the countryside and other performances, people will have a lot of fun when they go in, and it will cost a lot of money.
