Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 79: New Jiangnan City

Zhao Wuxi was puzzled by the change in the attitudes of Wei and Zhang, but seeing that Le Fuli in black clothes and brocade was left alone, he volunteered and said, "Zhao Zi is going to Nanshi, and Fuli can lead the way. "

He looked at Zhao Wuxi, but it was a kind of excitement of "You are the man of my generation".

Zhao Wuxi swallowed the doubts back into his stomach, thinking that before the sun sets, he hurried to the city to do some serious business, so he said, "Then it will be fun."

Le Fuli's car driving and Wu Xie go side by side. He is very good at talking. He comes to the new Jiang, the old and the recent new things one by one. It coincides with Zhao Guangde, who likes vocal music, wine and food. Not boring either.

After entering the city, we walked along the North-South Avenue for about a moment, and then we arrived at the south of Xinjiang City. Craftsmen run the country, and Miyagi is located in the middle and north. According to the planning of the former dynasty and the future market, the market is generally set up in the south, so Wu Xie thought that it should be called Nanshi, and Chengxiangguorenmen is also called this way.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the basic structure of a city was a tightly closed block pattern. The residential area is the square, and the commercial area is the city, which are strictly separated and enclosed by walls. This is the traditional market system, which will not be broken until the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The market has existed since ancient times, and it was produced with the demand of the commodity economy. In the "Easy Xie Xie" that Zhao Wuxi read some time ago, there is "Japan and China are the market, to the people of the world, and to gather the goods of the world. , the transaction retreats, and each gets his own place” records.

Chengyi Township also has a market, just like the "marketing" in the countryside in later generations. On certain days, such as every three and six, the people of the country and the wild gather by convention and spontaneously gather to buy and sell goods in a fixed place, and exchange what they have. After Wu Xie was slaughtered, with his support, Chengyi township became more and more lively, but the population base was there, and it still couldn't keep up with the prosperity of his three brothers' townships and cities.

In the lower palace, there is the city of Yi, which is larger, but compared to the big city of Xinjiang, it is only small shrimps.

"The market is full in the morning, and empty in the evening." The market is open during the day and closed at dusk. It is almost evening, and there is still an hour before the end of the market transaction, but the Xinjiang market is still very lively.

Zhao Wuxi looked around and saw that the place was huge, with walls, shops, warehouses, and specialized agencies and people to manage it.

The stalls are all small businesses, and the goods on them are very complete; the ones with shops are mostly official businessmen who eat from the government, while the traders in Zhengwei and other places need to rent space for trade. From time to time, there are city officials in black clothes and small crowns with soldiers holding daggers, walking around the city to inspect and collect taxes, and everything is in order.

There is an endless stream of people who come to buy things, not only from Xinjiang, but also from other cities, counties and even from abroad. The whole market was full of clamor, people coming and going, making noises, and the market road would be blocked from time to time. I want to come to the most lively morning and noon, when it is comparable to "the hub of the car hits, the shoulders are rubbed, the curtains are formed, the robes are raised into a curtain, and the sweat turns into rain" in Linzi of Qi State.

After entering the city, Le Fuli's car did not stop, but kept going south. At this time, the city was full of people, and they couldn't even shout for him. Zhao Wuxi's car and horse could only follow closely.

The whole market is divided into two halves by the shallow Hui River. After crossing the stone bridge, the crowded and noisy north bank of the river is immediately cut off, and the state of the south bank of the river becomes quiet and extravagant.

Ever since he crossed the bridge, Zhao Wuxi felt a little weird, and when he looked at the scene in front of him, he felt more and more wrong.

In the city, the five houses are the ratios, the five ratios are the Lu, and the five are the li, and in front of you is one low lilu one after another. From time to time, there are men in various costumes and smiling men coming and going, and the servants in soapy clothes are waiting at Lumen to receive coins and silks.

And in a door, Wu Xie also saw a woman with half-exposed greasy shoulders looking out. When she saw Qingzi's size horse riding the hull, her eyes lit up, and she shouted with a voice like an oriole, hula la, and a group of women with heavy makeup wearing popular two-color skirts ran out of the hut to watch.

Le Fuli and the women laughed loudly, and asked the charioteer to park the car in a luxuriously decorated building downstairs, triumphantly compared to it: "Zhao Zi, it's already here, let's go in quickly, this is It is the best family, let Fu Li be the host today and entertain Zhao Zi."

Zhao Wuxi was dumbfounded. He pointed around and asked, "This is Nanshi?"

"Of course." Le Fuli pointed to the market that was split in half by the Shu River: "There are seven cities in Xinjiang, each with a hundred paces. South of the Hui River, it is called the South City. The North City is densely populated with various handicraft workshops, and it is a place where merchants gather.

Le Fuli had a "you know" look.

Zhao Wuxi immediately understood that Nülu was the place where the ** lived, and also the brothel of later generations.

Household prostitutes raised in private households have existed since ancient times, but it was Guan Zhong, a minister of Duke Huan of Qi who made this industry industrialized.

Guan Zhong's original intention was because the state of Qi "was vulgar and prostitute, so the women's market was set up to collect men's money in order to enter the officialdom". One was to meet the physiological needs of young men in the country, and the other was to increase the city's tax revenue through the official-run women. Although Guan Zhong's practice was criticized by later Taoists, at that time, it was widely welcomed by taxis and men in Qi, and was soon followed by other countries.

Zhao Wuxi kept complaining in his heart that he was wronged. No wonder Wei Ju and Zhang Mengtan's attitude towards him has obviously changed. It turned out that they thought that Zhao Wuxi had just left the Pan Palace on the first day of entering Xinjiang, and eagerly wanted to come to this "Nanshi" to have a taste. interest?

Although Le Fuli was only 16 or 17 years old, he could see that he was already a veteran among them and a regular customer of female lures. He was still eloquently introducing which female female lus had the most tender and beautiful girls here.

"There are good and happy women of Zheng and Wei here~www.wuxiahere.com~ can play the splendid voice of Pu Shang, Qi women are good at singing, Chu women are slender and beautiful, Qin women have a unique taste, and there are even tall women. Xianyu Di Nu supplies, in short, each has its own advantages."

Zhao Guangde, who was traveling with him, was very interested in what he said, and even Tian Ben, who was following behind the car, also poked his head and wanted to go in and have a look.

Zhao Wu Xie waved his wide sleeves in a serious manner, driving away the women and Zaoli who wanted to come up to meet him, and turned his head and said, "It was also a slip of the tongue, which disturbed the joy of the music. I'm afraid I won't be able to go in today, Wang Sun, turn around. Driver, we've come to the wrong place."

He still has many important things to do, so he doesn't have time to wander around in this ancient red light district, and even if there is a real need for that, there is still a beauty in plain clothes in his house, why should he go far?

After crossing the bridge, after Wu Xie's explanation, Le Fuli realized that there was a misunderstanding. He was reluctant to part with the women on the south bank of the river, but he continued to perform his duty as a guide and took Zhao Wu Xie to his real place. place that I want to go.

"Xinjiangbei City is divided into six markets: Su City, Niuma City, Lacquer and Pottery City, Ren City, Cloth City, and Miscellaneous City. Where would Zhao Zi want to go?" He was also curious, as Zhao Wuxi was a Qingzi, Since they didn't come here to have fun, why did they come?

"The time is limited. After half an hour, the market will be closed. Let's go to the lacquered pottery market today." Zhao Wuxi had made a plan before he came, but he didn't expect such a small episode.

"The lacquered pottery city?"

Le Fuli became curious and asked the charioteer to lead the way.
