Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 150 The Queen Comes
The end of the new year is approaching, and the weather in Chang'an is getting colder and colder than before.

From the beginning of winter to the present, there has only been a light snowfall, and the amount of snowfall is almost negligible. The snow stopped even before the surface was soaked.

The folks are full of resentment, and the grain merchants also saw the opportunity to make a fortune, and they have rare goods to live in. They only sell a limited amount of grain every day, and the price is getting higher every day, but even so, there are still a large number of people who cannot buy grain. .

These days, ordinary people will not have food stored in their homes. Those who can save more than a month's food in their homes are basically considered well-off families. If they have half a year's food stored in their homes, they can basically be called a wealthy family.

There are more and more pedestrians on the streets of Chang'an. They are full of nearby people who have come to the city to seek a way to survive. It is best to make money. For those who cannot make money, there are many people who are scrambling for food and clothing. And the saved food, This will allow your family to live longer during disaster years.

Irrigation, which was fantasized a few months ago, has now become a dream. It is not that hand-pressed wells cannot be used for irrigation, but the efficiency is too slow. The successive signs of drought forced the court to change the original well-drilling plan. Now, we are drilling according to the configuration of one well for each Qingtian.

As for the efficiency of hand-pressed wells, a well supporting a hundred acres of fields is simply a dream.

Villages that have already laid wells have abandoned the idea of ​​irrigation and continued to use the previous irrigation methods. Fortunately, the wells are not far from the fields, but the people are worried about whether the water will be enough to irrigate so much land, so they are also fighting for it. Work on the ground.

This kind of situation will happen more and more, the number of people in Chang'an City is also increasing, and Chang'an County and Wannian County are also very busy, but the number of people in the city has increased sharply, and a large number of cases are still being banned repeatedly. The entire court hall was full of moans and sighs, but there was nothing to do.

Jinguang Gate, Chunming Gate, and Mingde Gate are the three gates in Chang'an that have the largest flow of people, and are also the two sides of the city gate where the world's richest merchants and wealthy merchants enter Chang'an. Half a month ago, there was a huge difference from the past.

On both sides of the city gate, on the originally bare city wall, there are two huge colorful patterns hanging today.

However, looking at the propaganda model on the high school, there are really not many people who can read and write these days, so most people can only look at the few canvases of different styles, grin their mouths and slap their butts thing.

'Buying new year's goods, going to Yong'an Square, basic necessities of life, one-stop service, what are you waiting for? '

'Create a new life! '

'Buy all you need in one moment and see the world in one day! '

All kinds of promotional slogans appeared on the three city gates, and the huge colorful pictures became the most eye-catching places. Under the interpretation of some literate people, the common people also understood the content on the posters.

A group of carriages stopped slowly, and the door curtain of a carriage was lifted.

The old man in the carriage looked at the huge poster and couldn't help frowning: "The imperial court has opened a southern city outside the eastern and western cities?"

Yong'an Square is located in the south of Chang'an, which belongs to the boundary of Chang'an County. Its scale is not as large as the East and West cities. As far as Chang'an is concerned, the East and West cities, plus the shops in each workshop are basically enough for the needs of the people of Chang'an.The old man was a little confused why the imperial court opened a Nanshi in Yong'an Square?Is there no one in Wannian County to make any comments?

"My lord, this was not initiated by the imperial court, but it has something to do with the imperial court." Said a little maid beside her.

"Oh? It wasn't opened by the imperial court, but it can be promoted at Chunming Gate? What is the background of this person? I really want to talk to him." The old man squinted his eyes slightly. Qian has developed into a wealthy family today, but he has never thought of this kind of publicity method that can be called a few days.

"My lord, I heard that almost half of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty participated in it, and the leader was a young man. I don't know what they are called slaves, but it seems that he invented the well that was drilled in our village, and he is also in it. Jingyang fought a war, with hundreds of people resisting the attack of thousands of Turks." The little maid continued.

"If it's him, it wouldn't be surprising." The old man nodded, and a person's name came to mind. If the information the little maid said was correct, it should be the person he was thinking of.

"Master, do you know who it is?" The little maid was slightly taken aback.

"If you're not mistaken, this person should be Qin Chao, and the gray wine we sell belongs to him." The old man squinted his eyes.

Gray Wine's investment promotion conference was a bit weird, and the model was novel, but in the end it gave people a feeling of anticlimactic.

Qin Chao, who originally planned to host the investment promotion conference, was called into Chang'an because of the imperial decree, and in the end only Qu Tuquan, the son of Qu Tutong, could be in charge.

Qu Tuquan didn't have such a great talent, so he could only announce the requirements set by Qin Chao. If you can agree, everyone will sign a contract. If you don't agree, you can go back wherever you came from.

During this period of time, the gray wine has been purchased from Luoyang, and everyone knows about Qin Chao's situation, but everyone related to him.

"Come on, let's go to Yong'an Square and have a look, and see what strange things Qin Chao has come up with." If you don't go today, you will regret it for a lifetime in the future.

……

Yonganfang, from the outside, Yonganfang is still the same as before, and there is nothing special about it, but the walls of the workshop are covered with various canvases, including the schematic diagram of the layout of the workshop and the order of the workshop.

There were a large number of people surrounding the four gates. Some entered without hesitation, while others stood there hesitantly, not knowing whether they should enter or not.

The bustling crowd suddenly fell silent, and subconsciously retreated to both sides of the road, looking around curiously, wanting to find out, but no one dared to take a step forward.

A carriage representing the royal family, escorted by the guards, followed by a large number of carriages of princes and county governments from all over the world, a group of people drove into Yong'an Square in a mighty manner.

"Your Majesty, Qin Chao, welcome the Queen!" Qin Chao said respectfully as he stood in front of Queen Sun's carriage, the head of the parking area.

"This is not a palace, so there is no need to be polite." Queen Changsun replied with a kind face, as if she were a mother to the world. The group of ladies behind her were chattering non-stop, and everything was fresh.

The two-story house is not made of civil structures, and it looks tall and grand, and their vanity is instantly satisfied here.

Yesterday, Qin Chao entrusted Changsun Wuji to give Empress Changsun a thousand guan vouchers, and Empress Changsun knew the truth, so today she brought a lot of ladies to join her.

Of course, what Qin Chao didn't know was that there was also Li Shimin's meaning in it. Although Empress Changsun accepted the voucher, she didn't intend to spend it. Anyway, it was not cash. If he didn't spend it, Qin Chao and the others would not lose money.

However, after Empress Changsun told Li Shimin about this matter, Li Shimin suggested that Empress Changsun go to Yong'anfang today to find out what happened. To put it bluntly, the court spent so much effort just to find peace of mind. No one can do it better than Empress Changsun. Let Li Shimin feel relieved.
