The population structure of Beiping City is complex. There are original people from Beiping and good people who have moved from other places.
Among the original people in Peiping, there were Han Chinese and survivors of the Wu Dynasty.
Although the imperial court closed the mutual trade with the various ethnic groups in the grassland, private transactions among the people continued. Unlike the Jiangnan region in the north, which produced silk and cotton, the cold winter here relied on various furs, sheepskins, and the woolen weaving industry was relatively developed.
This is a matter related to people's livelihood, and it cannot be blocked across the board to prevent people from living. Therefore, for some private channels where people and foreigners trade with each other privately, the court turned a blind eye.
If you act like this, something will happen.
The emperor's eldest grandson arrived in Peiping. The sky was high and the clouds were wide, like a bird in the forest. He ran around for a few days and was very happy. Unexpectedly, he suddenly disappeared a few days ago.
Emperor Yongkang was furious. He liked his grandson very much.
He probably inherited some of his father's fine traditions.
The great-grandfather was not satisfied with the ailing prince, and refused to pass the throne to his son. Finally, it passed to his grandson.
As for Emperor Yongkang, he didn't like the prince who was chubby, liked literature but not martial arts, and didn't look like him. With his other two sons jumping up and down beside him, he only took his grandson with him.
Now, my grandson is gone. That’s okay.
Emperor Yongkang was so furious that his subordinates ran away and broke their legs. The person who kidnapped the emperor's eldest grandson did not dare to show his face.
"What, the emperor's eldest grandson is missing?"
Huo Xi had a look of astonishment on her face. Looking at Mu Yan, whose eyes were blue and looking tired, she felt a little sorry for him. He probably hadn't slept for several days.
"I heard that the kid named Chu Yi next to you has quite a lot of skills. I'd like to borrow them."
Xian, who had been depressed for a few days, suddenly felt a little relaxed when he arrived at Huo Xi's place. Mu Yan himself felt strange.
Huo Xi nodded: "Use it, use it."
While asking someone to call Ji Chuyi, he frowned, "But it's been a few days, and I'm afraid the smell left in the market has long since dissipated, making it hard to find."
Mu Yan didn't know. They also led hounds to look for the person, but found nothing. They came to look for Huo Xi and wanted to find the person, and they didn't want to let go of the chance.
The first grade of junior high school came soon. When he heard that he was asked to help find the person, he was very excited and patted his chest: "Don't worry, Master. I will smell it carefully, find the person, and repay the master's great kindness."
"You have to search carefully. If you find someone, it will be to your advantage." Huo Xi warned him.
Chu nodded his head and responded repeatedly.
Before leaving, Mu Yan told Huo Xi: "I'm afraid there are many people with ulterior motives hidden in the city these days. You should try to stay at home and don't go out. If you go out, you need to bring more people."
Huo Xi nodded in agreement and watched him leave with Chu Yi.
Thinking that the emperor's eldest grandson could be kidnapped, I was afraid that it was really the remnants of the Wu Dynasty who did it. Emperor Yongkang visited the north and inspected all parts of the border. The warlike emperor was afraid that he wanted to have a big fight with the northern tribes who were causing trouble from time to time.
of.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's eldest grandson was kidnapped before he could take action.
It seemed that there was a trembling wind in the city, so Huo Xi didn't go out. He only drew drawings in the house, thinking about how to build the abandoned street in Peiping and the Tianjin Pier.
After working on the drawings for a day, I sent someone to find Zhu Ji.
Spread the two drawings in front of him.
Zhu Ji looked at it for a long time, exclaiming in his heart that it was wonderful.
But, "My boss, this north pier is extremely desolate, and the shops in the south are still sold cheaply. If we build so many shops and warehouses in the north, can they really be sold?" We also need to build inns and restaurants, who will go north to spend the money?
The boss may have made some money in the past two years, but spending the money like this makes him feel a little sad.
Huo Xi knew it well. Emperor Yongkang was now determined to move the capital. As long as the Wei Dynasty did not fall, no one would be able to stop the emperor's decision.
In the future, when Peking becomes the capital, are you still worried that Tianjin Pier will not be built?
Although Tianjin has only been under construction for less than four years now, it still has great potential.
"It's okay, I know what I have in mind. Go to Tianjin yourself and ask someone to investigate with Shopkeeper Lan to see how much money is needed. Then come back and repay me."
Zhu Ji nodded in agreement and looked at another drawing.
"This abandoned street is not far from Dongzhimen. I plan to build restaurants, restaurants and inns."
"There are restaurants and inns on one street? This street is not small." Zhu Ji was a little surprised by Huo Xi's generosity.
"Yes, just like the cloth and grain stores in Beijing, this street will become the street for eating, drinking and having fun in Beiping City in the future."
It's not all restaurants and restaurants. If you're tired from shopping, you have to have a place to rest, and a few inns should be built for guests to rest.
If you stay in an inn, you may need to buy some daily necessities, and build a few shops to sell groceries, clothing stores, etc. You can eat, drink, and buy useful things, and then open a few perfume halls to freshen up and relax.
.
Perfume halls do not sell perfume. Perfume halls are also called hundangs, which are bathing centers and bathhouses.
After the Ming Dynasty established its capital in Peiping, perfume halls appeared on a large scale and continued to develop until the Qing Dynasty, becoming an important cultural and entertainment activity loved by the people of the capital.
At this time, the population of Peiping has dropped to zero, and the people are still struggling to make a living, and there are no such entertainment activities.
Huo Xi decided to be the first to eat crabs.
In the future, a large number of people will move into Peiping. These people may not necessarily own their own houses, but renting houses. It is not easy to have a decent bathroom and take a quick shower.
If there is a perfume shop that is cheap and can solve problems, the business will definitely be good.
After hearing Huo Xi's plan, Zhu Ji was moved. If this perfume hall was built, he himself would frequent it, not to mention others.
"It's just that there are many people living in shacks on that abandoned street. I wonder if they are local residents. If I start building houses, what should I do if those people refuse to move?"
Zhu Ji was not worried at all.
"It was originally a commercial street selling literary pens and ink. There was no residential area. The people who live there now were built randomly by the migrant workers who repaired the city gate and their families. We have bought that street, and as long as
Just tell the Yamen and they will help evacuate the people."
Huo Xi thought about it. Now the Peking Yamen are waiting for merchants to buy property and develop the economy of Peiping. I am afraid that they will like to hear about the street they want to build. The Yamen will send people to drive away the people, and there should be no people to block the process.
This is naturally good, but if you have to pay for the demolition fees yourself, it will cost a lot of money.
Feeling distressed.
The two discussed the drawings and handed the matter over to Zhuji to find someone to handle it.
Let's see if we can find some craftsmen in Beiping City. If not, we have to look outside. We have to go to other counties and towns in Shuntian Prefecture, or places outside Shuntian Prefecture.
Two more days passed like this, and Huo Xi was a little worried when she didn't see the first day of the new year coming back. It seemed like she hadn't found the person yet.
So, could it be that the emperor's eldest grandson is no longer in the city and has been transported out of the city? Or he is hidden deep in the grassland. How can we find this? It will happen.
