Datang romantic little landlord

In the public carriage, Bai Mobi was listening to everyone's conversation with relish.After leaving Chang'an City for more than half a year, he felt that this city, number one in the world, suddenly became a little strange to him...

656 Grandma Liu first entered the Grand View Garden

Fortunately, Bai Mobi had never watched "A Dream of Red Mansions", otherwise he must have felt like that grandma Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden and was curious about everything she saw.

Bai Mobi found it very interesting to hear the people in a carriage chatting lively about the batting competition of the previous two days, and discussing how to buy lottery tickets for the next competition day.

After the public carriage arrived in West Market, he was again fascinated by the drink vending machines selling boiled water in front of those boiled water shops.

From Bai Mobi's point of view, this machine is like a fairy weapon. Putting in copper coins, it can automatically flow out warm boiled water drinks, which is simply unimaginable.

Bai Mobi even wondered if there was a buddy hidden in the wooden cabinet for selling boiled water.Otherwise, how can this dead thing tell how many copper coins he invested?

He even couldn't understand why these Shushui shops were so grandiosely placed in front of the shop for such a precious treasure. Aren't they afraid of being stolen?

Bai Mobi even wanted to buy one of these familiar vending machines and transport it back to the country of Kucha. It would definitely cause a sensation.

He inquired with the shopkeeper of the Shushui shop and found out that the Huxian Bo had created these miraculous mechanisms.

This was the third time he had heard the earl's name today.

Holding the bamboo tube full of boiled water, after thanking the shopkeeper, Bai Mobi sat on his own monkey on his shoulders, followed by servants, walking in the West Market.

After walking a few steps, I saw someone beating gongs and drums in front of me, which was very lively.

Bai Mobi squeezed into the crowd curiously to have a look, but there was a lot of people gathered in front of a shop with a "Datang Lottery" hanging on it.He looked carefully, but did not find any goods in the shop.

As for what a lottery ticket is, Bai Mobi naturally doesn't understand, is it something like a lottery brocade?

"Excuse me, may I ask what this shop sells?" Bai Mobi curiously asked passers-by.

"This shop that sells lottery tickets naturally sells lottery tickets." Passers-by looked at him suspiciously, then looked at his attire, and suddenly realized: "Your husband's is only in Chang'an? Hehe, this lottery ticket is also a kind of gambling. You only need two copper coins to bet, and bet on a set of numbers. If you hit all of them after the lottery, you can win up to 200 taels of gold. If you are interested, you can buy a few lottery tickets to try your luck."

Hearing that it is possible to win a prize of 200 taels of gold for only two pennies, even a big businessman like Bai Mobi couldn't help but jump in his heart.

Is there such a good thing in the world?

When he was wondering, he saw in front of the shop selling lottery tickets, an official wearing a Datang official uniform shouted loudly to the surrounding people: "Datang Lottery, No. Prize winners will each win 15 taels of gold!"

This official was the official in charge of supervising lottery issuance from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. As he finished speaking, there was another round of envious discussions around him.

"Everyone, just like Huxian Bo said at the beginning, this lottery ticket should be bought as much as possible, and you will forget to win sooner or later! Datang Lottery No. 16 is already on sale, and you can come in and buy it."

The living example of a lottery winner naturally attracted these common people and merchants in the West Market to pour into the lottery shop one after another, and took out a few copper coins to buy lottery tickets.

After asking passers-by for clarification, Bai Mobi naturally followed the crowd into the lottery shop. After queuing for half a day, he bought five lottery tickets with ten cents.

Walking out of the lottery shop, Bai Mobi looked at the beautifully printed lottery ticket in his hand, and couldn't help shaking his head again.This Tang people is really extravagant, to print such beautiful pieces of paper, and it is only used for gambling.

And this lottery ticket was made by the Earl of Hu County... This is the fourth time he has heard of this name today.

After seeing the excitement and trying to buy a lottery ticket, Bai Mobi continued to wander in the West Market to see what new products were available in various shops, which were worth selling to the Kingdom of Kucha.

After drinking the boiled water in the bamboo tube in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little urgent to urinate, so he turned around and walked towards an alley in the West City, planning to find a convenient corner.

Unexpectedly, before Bai Mobi untied the belt on his robe, he was caught by Marquis Wu who was patrolling the street.

"Hey, that Hu businessman, be strict about defecating everywhere! Otherwise, you will be punished by the cane! Don't blame me for not notifying you in advance."

Bai Mobi was taken aback by Marquis Wu's words. It's not like he hasn't stayed in Chang'an City before. He would live in Chang'an City for two or three months every year. When did Chang'an City have such a regulation?

But after Marquis Wu reminded him, Bai Mobi suddenly realized that after entering the city today, he had never seen those yellow and white things on the street.

He didn't dare to argue, but hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "Several Marquis Wu officials have come to Chang'an City for a long time, and they just entered the city today. I really don't know, and I hope to forgive my sin. It's just that this person has three urgencies, but he doesn't know..."

Bai Mobi was also a little depressed. It's not allowed to defecate anywhere, so does it have to be suffocated?

Marquis Wu looked at each other and laughed again.

"If you see that the house is not there, it is the road toilet. This was funded by Huxian Bo and built for the common people, in order to prevent the filth and evil people from everywhere in Chang'an City. If you need convenience, go directly to the road toilet That's it. Remember, defecation is not allowed anywhere in Chang'an City, otherwise you will have to hit the board. There are road toilets everywhere in Chang'an City, just ask about it when you need it."

"Yes, yes, I remembered." Bai Mobi hurriedly bowed and saluted, and hurriedly led the servants to the toilet.

After relaxing, Bai Mobi couldn't help shaking his head again.He almost lost face again today, if he were to be caught and beaten with a board for defecating everywhere, his face would be completely humiliated.

It's the Earl of Nahu County again...

Bai Mobi really didn't know how to evaluate this earl. He only felt that after entering Chang'an City today, everything he heard in his ears seemed to be related to this earl.

And he has lived in Chang'an City for a long time, but he has never heard of the existence of this mysterious earl before, which makes him very curious about this earl of Hu County.

If Bai Mobi hadn't known that his identity was so different from that earl, he would have wanted to pay a visit to this miraculous Tang nobleman.Even though he is also a member of the royal family of the Kucha Kingdom, in front of the extremely powerful Tang Dynasty, with his status as the royal family of Kucha, I am afraid that even an official of the eighth or ninth rank in Chang'an City would not look at him directly.

Bai Mobi already knew this point in his many years of business experience.

The huge empire of the Tang Dynasty really makes people feel awe.

Thinking of this, Bai Mobi couldn't help shaking his head with a wry smile, and walked into a bookstore.Every time he came to Chang'an City, he would definitely come to these bookstores to see if there were any new scrolls for sale.

The various books of the Central Plains are what Bai Mobi feels must be worshipped. These Central Plains cultures are really attractive to him.He even often thinks that after he no longer needs to run around in business, he will live in Chang'an City for a long time, and spend the rest of his life studying those poems and prose theories, laws and regulations, scriptures and ink meanings, that is the life he wants to live the most.

Stepping into the bookstore, Bai Mobi couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, why are the copied and sold books in the bookstore gone, replaced by stacks of boxy books bound into volumes.

"Shopkeeper, why aren't the scrolls for sale?" Bai Mobi asked curiously.

"Haha, the guest officer just came to Chang'an City? You don't know that the bookstores in Chang'an City no longer sell the original hand-copied scrolls." The shopkeeper of the bookstore laughed.

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Uncle Huxian. He invented the craft of engraving and printing books. Now these books are all engraved and then bound into books. Not only is it convenient, but the price is much cheaper. Guest officer, you To read "The Analects of Confucius", originally it cost two copper coins, but now it only needs five hundred coins."

Bai Mobi was taken aback, there is such a good thing?

But before he could reply, someone from the side said: "Haha, Uncle Hu County is just a fluke..."

657 Young and Frivolous

In this bookstore in West Market, apart from Bai Mobi and the shopkeeper, there are also several scholars who are buying books.

When the crowd heard that someone was speaking outrageously, saying that Uncle Hu County was just a fluke, they couldn't help but look angry, and turned their heads to look for his reputation, wanting to see what kind of arrogant person is able to say such words.

But the person who spoke was a young man in white, and beside him was a stunning beauty and a blond orchid.

Although Bai Mobi didn't know the earl with the title of Hu County, but what he saw after entering Chang'an City today made him yearn for and admire this earl.

Hearing that someone belittled that miraculous Earl, Bai Mobi couldn't help showing displeasure.But after all, he is only a businessman from the Kucha Kingdom, so it is inconvenient to speak at this moment.

But the shopkeeper and the few scholars in the bookstore didn't have such scruples, and they all opened their mouths to refute.
