Chapter 44: The Tea House

Li Gefei has a good impression there, Li Qingzhao must have attracted enough attention, things are not too smooth, the only pity is that she can't be asked out, which is really helpless, I can only take my time, I can't visit every day, that's too attentive.

But in addition to learning the reading task assigned by Li Gefei, Zhou Shaoyu is also very idle, and he can only go out to wander around when he has nothing to do.

The first time I crossed over to the Tang Dynasty, but after a little look, I kept digging tunnels. The second time I went back to the Three Kingdoms, but I fought a war for many years, the economy was depressed, and there was actually nothing to visit.

It is still a good commercial Song Dynasty, the crowds are lively, all kinds of selling are endless, if it is prosperous, it is naturally the part of Zhouqiao. There are many shops, dizzying, the only pity is that there are basically women on the street, and most of them wear scarves, covering their faces, and they can't see anything.

Why don't you go up to the Qinglou to take a look? Zhou Shaoyu was a little moved, the Qinglou of the Song Dynasty was famous for its high quality, and everyone liked to go to all kinds of celebrities, and even talented women and prostitutes emerged in endlessly, such as Yan Rui, Le Wan, Cui Nianyue, Wang Youyu, etc., all of which left their names in history.

If you are not curious about this aspect, it is false, but at the moment Zhou Shaoyu seems to be shopping, in fact, he is thinking about the merits of the Song Dynasty, there is no doubt that no matter how the military and diplomatic affairs of the Song Dynasty are criticized, the Song Dynasty is definitely the richest dynasty of all dynasties.

In later generations, the well-known big cities in Western Europe, such as Paris, Venice, and London, may not be more than 10,000 people now, but Bianliang, the eastern capital of the Song Dynasty, is a super city with a population of one million, and it is also the largest and most prosperous city in the world at this moment.

The annual tax revenue of the Song Dynasty was hundreds of millions of yuan, and hundreds of years later, the so-called Qing Dynasty obviously had nearly three times the population of the Song Dynasty, but the tax revenue was only 30 million or 40 million taels of silver.

Speaking of freedom, in the Song Dynasty, you can feel free to tell your opinions on national affairs, even if the emperor is fine, you can try to change to another dynasty?

And the Tang Dynasty in the hearts of later generations, 'buy slaves and maids, horses, cows, galloping mules, donkeys, etc., and set up market coupons according to orders'! For slaves and maids, it is 'law than animal production', which is no different from an animal, and will never turn over for a day. What about the Song Dynasty? That's the employment of good people, more of an employment relationship, hard work and luck, and it is still very possible to become a big landlord and a rich man.

Of course, this does not mean that the Song Dynasty was very good, after all, there were many shortcomings, and no matter how it was, it was still a feudal society after all. For Zhou Shaoyu, who has the intention to develop and grow on the other side, it is more of a reference.

Zhou Shaoyu didn't think about developing capitalism or communism in the past, science and technology, knowledge, productive forces, and the quality of the whole people could not keep up, and no matter how good the policy was, it would be in vain. Think about Wang Mang, who is most like crossing in history, his series of policies are more like later generations, but what? Almost everyone was against it.

Well, when you leave, you have to take a copy of the laws of the Song Dynasty or something. Zhou Shaoyu thought in his heart, he would collect more information in this area in the future, now the cottage is still small, how to manage it, once it develops big but there is no preparation, it will be troublesome.

Unconsciously walked for a long time, and now I have arrived at the south of Zhouqiao Bridge, I feel a little tired, and I happened to find that there is a Wanji teahouse next to it, so I decided to go in and drink a cup of tea to rest.

The decoration of the teahouse is quite elegant, the guests inside are all some young scholars, and behind the counter is a middle-aged woman who still has charm, it is not difficult to imagine that she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young, and she is now facing the abacus crackling account book.

In the Song Dynasty, it was not uncommon for women to show up from business. I asked for a pot of ordinary tea, sat in the corner and drank it slowly.

At this time, I saw some scholars whispering, and then one of them got up and said: "Shopkeeper Wan, I have been waiting here for a long time, why haven't I seen the little lady come out?" ”

Zhou Shaoyu was stunned when he heard this, isn't this a teahouse? How come there are still women who come out to greet guests?

"Noise!" The woman who was called the treasurer did not raise her head, and continued to snap and plan to plate. "It's you scholars who think the most, my little lady is a serious girl who hasn't left the cabinet, how can she easily let people look at it?"

This made Zhou Shaoyu even more surprised, this 10,000 shopkeeper is really unkind to speak, no matter how developed the commerce of the Song Dynasty was, a businessman was a businessman, and his status was never high, and on the other end was a scholar who was 'only high in reading', but those scholars were stunned and had no temper at all.

I saw that the scholar said with a bitter face: "Who made the little lady of the shopkeeper of Wan so beautiful, let me admire it, and besides, I also found a matchmaker to come to the door to negotiate, but the shopkeeper Wan did not allow it, so what can I do?" ”

The shopkeeper Wan rolled his eyes and said, "Just your little scholar and vainly trying to take my little lady as a concubine?" It's good not to kick the matchmaker out. ”

So this girl is still a beauty? No wonder it attracted so many young scholars to come, the Song Dynasty, who didn't know that the scholars at this time were the most popular and flowing. As for not marrying a wife but taking a concubine, it's too simple, the daughter of a merchant, marrying a wife has a bad reputation, and these scholars are still thinking about becoming officials in the future.

The scholars sighed, thinking that they would not be able to see the beautiful little lady today, but unexpectedly, the curtain behind the door was lifted, and a pretty girl in pink clothes walked out, and the whole teahouse was quiet for a while, and they basically stared intently.

The girl was obviously used to such a gaze, ignored it, took out an account book and said softly: "Mother, the account book has been calculated, and let's see if it's right." ”

"Oh, what are you doing out of here?" As he spoke, the shopkeeper was about to push the girl in, and said loudly: "What do you see, and you are not afraid of being blind." ”

It's really, pretty! Zhou Shaoyu was also a little stunned, and he didn't mention anything else, mainly because of the just right melon seed face, which fits Zhou Shaoyu's appetite, according to the score of the system, Zhou Shaoyu estimates that it can be seventy points.

"System! Come out, has this beauty been included in the system? "Zhou Shaoyu is very curious about calling the system, and he also said at the beginning that the system is 'a famous beauty in history', but there are so many famous beauties, maybe there is such a one?

"Yes!" The system is not salty and does not lightly answer.

"Really!?" Zhou Shaoyu's eyes bulged and he was shocked. Can the daughter of a tea shop owner also leave a name? It's an exaggeration, could it be that what kind of celebrity will you marry in the future? So he immediately asked tentatively: "Can you read the information?" ”

The "......" system is silent.

"Don't be stingy, can't I be curious? No matter what, it's impossible to be Samsung. Zhou Shaoyu began to persuade. Don't you see that I haven't read Li Qingzhao's information until now, can it be regarded as compensation? ”

That's right, Zhou Shaoyu really didn't look at Li Qingzhao's attribute information, and looked at Gu Ran to have a more intuitive understanding, but there was no surprise, Li Qingzhao is famous because of her talent, and the appearance is rumored to be average, not very beautiful, in case you see a low value, then the sense of expectation is gone?

Of course, this is also Zhou Shaoyu's understanding of Li Qingzhao's past, if he doesn't know, he must read the information quickly, otherwise how to decide how to hook up.
