Chapter 760
The owner of the Shuangyang Shop was stunned when he heard that he wanted many things, and he was also uneasy. You should know that Lin'an has just changed hands and the business is not easy to do. Although Wang Shi had never harassed them in Beijing, many stores opened by Mongolians and Semu people have been confiscated, and rumors began to be reported that people related to the Mongolians will be arrested in the next step. But how could they not deal with them in business in Beijing? So now they are just scrambling to do it every day.
In addition, there were not many things prepared in the store, so it was barely enough for these soldiers to eat. If they left after eating, they would lose money. But if they wanted money, these soldiers smashed their shop on a whim and lost more. They hesitated for a moment and didn't know whether they should take on this business. Seeing that these soldiers were extremely tough, the young general was young and furious, and then he would give him a hat to collude with the enemy and then he would lose nothing.
"Shopkeeper, are you worried that we have no money?" Zhao Bing asked with a smile when he saw his desire to speak.
"No, General, I'm just worried that I'll ask for a lot and I can't finish it, but I'll spend money." The shop owner waved his hand quickly and squeezed out a little and said with a smile.
"Is that something you are worried about? Send it up quickly, otherwise..." Wang De said angrily when he heard it, and said.
"Shut up, go back and receive your own punishment!" Zhao Bing turned around and stood up and bowed to the shop owner, "Don't blame me if I have no choice."
"I don't dare to do it, I don't dare!" the shopkeeper hurriedly returned the courtesy.
"Shopkeeper, you see that we soldiers are all strong men, so we naturally eat more than ordinary people." Zhao Bing pointed to the army in the hall.
"Yes, yes, small eyes are so clumsy!" The shop owner was naturally awake, so he dared not talk nonsense anymore, and he couldn't help but apologize, "There are mutton steamed buns, thousand-layer cakes, Hu cakes, and even meat noodles to satisfy his hunger!"
"Okay, then each person will add another pound of thousand-layer cakes and a large bowl of meat noodles. In addition, prepare ten pounds of soft mutton and ten pounds of big cakes, and they will be repaid together!" Zhao Bing said.
"Okay, okay, go and prepare!" The shop owner wiped his sweat and thought to himself that these people were really starved to death and were reincarnated. They could eat so much, but he still quickly ordered the waiter to prepare.
"Shopkeeper, is your store collecting Zhongtong money, salt tickets, or gold and silver!" As many people urged to prepare meals, the store told the tea to serve the table. Of course, he had to serve the table in person. Zhao Bing took a sip of tea and asked.
"General, these Tartars have been driven to Jiangbei. The Zhongtong Cash has become waste paper, and no one dares to take it anymore." The store owner felt nervous. The store was full of Song Bings. He dared to collect Zhongtong Cash and could not get it well, so he was deducted. But in fact, the same is true. "The general's mutton is 200 cents per pound, 150 cents per plate of dishes, and 20 cents a pound of big cakes, even if the noodles are delivered by the small shop."
"There are 1,800 citations per table, with a total of thirteen tables, a total of 23,040 citations, plus the 2,200 citations taken away, a total of 25,000 citations." The shop owner calculated with his fingers, "If the general pays the bill with silver, it's fine, it's fine if it's 20,000 citations."
"Pay the bill to the store first to avoid being uneasy!" Zhao Bing turned his face and said to Wang De.
"The little one came out in a hurry and didn't bring much!" Wang De said awkwardly.
"This... the store is a small business, and you really can't afford to pay for credit!" The store owner's face changed and said with a bitter face.
"It's better to come down!" Seeing this, Zheng Huchen took out a stack of salt tickets from his sleeve, pointed out a few and handed them to the store owner.
"Oh, this is a red ticket for guests, just 16 guan!" The store owner took it and said in surprise, and quickly returned a few more.
"Haha, the store owner should not suffer any losses?" Zhao Bing knew the difference in the value of salt tickets. There were subsidies for the red tickets, but he did not expect that they were even higher than the value of silver, and asked with a smile.
"General, you don't lose, you don't lose. This red ticket is the most reliable. You may make a small profit for a few days!" The store owner smiled and laughed, and then held a tea ceremony for everyone.
"Shopkeeper, Lin'an also uses salt tickets?" Zhao Bing asked Zheng Huchen, Zhou Mi, Wang De and the two guards to take the seat, and asked the shopkeeper again.
"I'm not hiding the general, the unified banknotes are no longer easy to use, and they can't be exchanged for gold and silver. They are only used to pay taxes when collected. And not only are the salt tickets used privately by Lin'an, but also the whole Jiangdong is like this." The store owner was relieved when he got the money for food and answered questions and questions.
"Yes, it seems that our salary is not worried about spending money!" Zhao Bing looked at Zheng Huchen and smiled. It is an indelible contribution to the salt tickets that can pass through Jiangnan!
"The general has salt tickets, so he comes to the small shop to use them. The young one will definitely take good care of you." The store owner said with his eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Aren't you afraid of salt tickets and Zhongtong's money being smashed into your hands?" Zhao Bing teased.
"The general may not know that the salt ticket can be exchanged for salt, and Qiongzhou salt is the most in short supply, the price and supply are the most stable, so there is no need to worry about not having to spend it." The store owner did not hear Zhao Bing's joke and explained attentively.
"This is the best. Have you ever been harassed by officials and soldiers when you open a shop here?" Zhao Bing asked with a sip of tea.
"No, no, after the Wang Army entered Beijing, only officials came to inspect and register, and there was no harassment. The soldiers were even more disciplined and never got out of the way!" The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Now he was just worried about being charged with collusion with the enemy. Lin'an was occupied by the Tartars. How could we avoid doing business when we open the door to do business?"
"I heard that the court will only investigate and deal with officials who surrender to the enemy and those evil businessmen who relied on the Tartar power to fish and meat, and will not affect you businesses, and even if there are some minor mistakes, they will not pursue them. As long as they do not violate the law, they can do business with peace of mind." Zhao Bing smiled.
"If you have a general, you will feel relieved if you are young!" the store owner said happily.
It is easy to talk about money. It takes less time to eat, but the waiters shout and chewing the meal in the store, and there is no noise. But when he looked carefully, his scalp was numb. He saw the soldiers spread a cake with meat and bite it. He was surprised that the little emperor was the same, and he didn't need Wang De to serve him, eating meat and noodles, without any kind of politeness. He had not finished his own cake, and had already eaten two of them. When he looked at the other people on the table, he was not humble and just ate his own.
"Mr. Zhou, eat quickly, otherwise you will have to have a stomachache!" Wang De looked at Zhou Mi in a daze and whispered.
"I can't eat anymore. Is this the same thing about His Majesty's meal?" Zhou Mi frowned and smiled bitterly.
"Sir, the appetite is too small. Your Majesty often walks in the army. If you catch up with the urgent war, you will eat empty-handedly. You often don't know when the next meal will be used, so you should be quick." Wang De said without hesitation, "Oh, by the way, Your Majesty is the most annoying to those who don't cherish food. That bowl of noodles must be eaten clean."
"This... how can I eat this!" Zhou Mi frowned and muttered as she looked at a large bowl of mutton noodles.
"Are you full? You can add more if you don't have enough!" Zhao Bing had few people on the table, but he had eaten a lot. The other tables had eaten completely like wind and clouds. He asked loudly.
"Add two more pounds of cake and one pound of meat!"
"Add another kilogram of meat, two bowls of noodles!"...
"Please ask the store to add more and calculate the money together." Almost every table asked for more food, Zhao Bing told the store.
"Yes, general!" The shopkeeper looked at the group of people and shook his head, sighing inwardly that he was so edible, but with a precedent, he was not afraid of not giving money and hurriedly gave instructions.
"Can they still eat?" Zhou Mi said in surprise.
"Sir, since the day of the army, Your Majesty has set rules that you can make up for food if you don't have enough food. If you ruin it, you will be punished." Fa Zheng smiled and rolled all the remaining meat on the table into the middle of the cake. "I saw that I didn't. He was the first Jinshi in the court. He turned out to be a wise man. But after entering the army, he ate more than anyone else."
"Oh..." Zhou Mi gritted her teeth and picked up a few noodles and put them in her mouth. She chewed them a few times before swallowing them.
A quarter of an hour after the food was served, all the tables were plated and bowls were clean, and even the little emperor was no exception. After paying the meal, the whole team went out. Zhou Mi saw that the little emperor was still reminding Wang De to return the money when he went back. He burped and couldn't help but sigh that there was a lord like this. With this tiger and wolf soldier, why worry about not restoring the Central Plains and returning to the old capital...
When Zhao Bing and others returned to Deshou Palace, Chen Dun had already returned. Lin'an Mansion had sent a judge to open the door and unlock it. As soon as he entered the door, he frowned and saw a plaque of Zongyang Palace hanging above the head of the door. After walking a few steps, he saw a plaque of Kaiming Gate hanging on the middle door. Through the middle door, it was the main hall, and the Wuji Miaodao Hall was written on it. The guards in front had opened the door and checked it. However, there were the Taoist Three Pure Lands. This was where Zhao Gou met with his ministers and drank banquets.
The original Shunfu Hall was dedicated to the Emperor Yuan's Yuan's order. The Sanqing Hall was the hall of Xuhuang. There was a gate straight to the north. The plaque read the Zhenying Gate, and a Yurui Hall was built to worship the Emperor Gansheng. Later, the Yuan's order was dedicated to the Shenyou Hall, and the Tongzhi Hall was dedicated to Yousheng. In addition, there were Yulai Tower, Jingwei Hall, and Shouyuan Hall. On the right were Luan Jian Tower, Qiongzhang Baoshu, Beichen Hall, etc.
"A prodigal son!" Zhao Bing became more and more angry. In addition to the Sanqing, he knew every other god worshipped here, and he also needed to rely on Journey to the West in his previous life. The palace is now in a mess, but it is done by his mentally retarded father, and the gods inside have not made him smarter. However, this is a coincidence. If it weren't for the transformation of this place into a Taoist temple, I'm afraid that this palace would not be able to be preserved, and it would have been destroyed by the Yuan army or turned into a temple.
"Your Majesty, although some buildings were built after the old palace was changed into a Taoist temple, the overall layout has not been changed. As long as it is reorganized, it can be restored to its original state. The garden was occupied by the Yuan Dynasty's canal transportation yamen and was basically preserved. As long as the road that was opened was re-enclosed." Zhou Mi saw the little emperor turn around, his face was gloomy and his eyebrows had never been opened. Knowing that he was not satisfied, he explained.
"Official family, Mr. Zhou said it well. Although it was changed to a Taoist temple, it was still a blessed land. There were royal residences built around it to benefit from blessings!" Wang De also said hurriedly.
After hearing the two of them, Zhao Bing continued to walk back. From the past, he knew that the total size of Deshou Palace was not smaller than that of Nangong. It had more than ten halls, more than 200 houses and granaries. It still adopted the traditional pattern of front dynasties and back bedrooms, and built a back garden. The main one that was changed to a Taoist temple was the palace area.
After entering the back garden, Zhao Bing felt his eyes lit up. Although it was closed for a long time, it was difficult to change the meaning of freshness and elegance. However, with his personality, he felt that his ancestors were really brave enough to create it! From his perspective, it was possible to build such buildings and landscapes in this limited place back then, and it made people feel harmonious. The designer really took the effort.
The back garden is centered on Longchi, with more than ten acres of wide range. It is said that Emperor Gaozong loved West Lake very much. In order to prevent frequent travel and disturbing the people, he built a "Little West Lake" in this palace and imitated it according to the West Lake landscape. The entire back garden is divided into four scenic spots by the lake area. The east area enjoys famous flowers, with more vegetation and rich terrain changes. The west area enjoys landscape scenery, the south area is mainly a place for entertainment and banquets, and the north area has pavilions and pavilions standing in green.
However, due to the limited area, the buildings in the garden are dense and small in size. However, the combination of Feilai Peaks, corridors, steps, terraces, halls and other buildings built with terrain and terrain makes people not feel narrow. At the same time, plants and flowers and plants are planted around the building, either in the form of solitary or opposite plants, or in small clusters, or in combination with soil and rocks to form a multifunctional and open space. The spare parts are also covered with modern lawns, or simply empty, forming different paths and walking at will, allowing people to gain some free space in this strict and solemn place.
Due to the plant resources, climatic conditions and cultivation and protection technology in the south of the Yangtze River, the plant varieties in the palace are rich and diverse, including moss plums with very thick moss like green silk, and lotus flowers with the same poles, which also show obvious changes in the four seasons and excessive seasons. Among them, the east is mainly hibiscus that blooms in autumn, and chrysanthemums and osmanthus as transitional flowers; the west is mainly vermicelli, peony, crabapple and other plants that bloom in spring; the south is mainly erotic plants that bloom in summer, and the north is mainly winter plants.
However, Zhao Bing's favorite thing is that he likes this lake the most, just like Zhao Gou. Not only are there corridors and pavilions built around the lake, but there are also bridges spanning the upper and four halls built in the middle. It is said that this is where Emperor Gaozong drank and listened to silk and bamboo and watched dance again, but he felt that this place was a place for fishing and reading, which was pure and comfortable, and was the most suitable for him to be idle.
