Li Jing disagreed with the reason given by Fang Jun. How free do you have to be to think about leading the aesthetic trend of the Tang Dynasty?
With his military qualities, he would be a little frightened if he thought about it a little deeper.
The academy has gathered almost the best group of young people in the world today. Not only are these people literate and intelligent, but they are also young and powerful. As long as they train hard with strict military methods, it won't take long for them to become an army.
A powerful and invincible team.
If it can be equipped with firearms developed and improved by the Foundry Bureau...
Li Jing swallowed hard, his heart pounding, but he resisted not asking questions on the spot, but planned to ask them in private later.
There's no way this kid can have breakfast...
Afterwards, they discussed the teaching, logistics and other issues of the academy. Fang Jun even reviewed some documents and files accumulated during this period and solved various problems in the academy. It was already evening in a daze.
Fortunately, the curfew system in Chang'an is now in name only. There is no need to worry about the city gates being locked after sunset. Fang Jun ordered someone to brew a pot of strong tea and asked the canteen to prepare a few side dishes. He planned to stay up late tonight to compile these accumulated documents.
All the items have been disposed of so as not to affect the operation of the college.
Unexpectedly, I had just finished drinking a cup of tea, put down the cup and picked up my pen, when a soldier came in to inform me that the Second Young Master from England had sent someone to invite me to the banquet.
Isn't that Li Siwen?
Fang Jun asked: "Do you know who else is attending the meeting?"
The soldier did not answer, but presented the invitation with both hands.
Fang Jun finally found out that it was indeed Li Siwen who had invited Cheng Chubi, Qu Tuquan, Zhang Xiangxiang and others to return to the capital in order to worship their ancestors during the Chinese New Year. He invited Fang Jun to Wenhua Building for a gathering.
.
Fang Junzheng wanted to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to gather a group of friends together to discuss the future, and now it is just what he wants.
It’s just that this Wenhua Building...
Although the name is elegant and grand, it is a famous brothel in Pingkangfang. It is only one level lower than Zuixian Tower and can be regarded as a first-class brothel in Chang'an City.
Fang Jun looked at this place and felt a little worried.
There is no way, since I traveled through time, I have also had the desire to have fun like ordinary men, hugging each other, and enjoying the time-honored Pingkangfang Shengsing, singing and dancing is naturally human nature. But unfortunately, almost every time I go there
There is nothing good going on in places like that. I have no idea what it is like to be a charming female prostitute. Instead, she often gets into fights. Either he offends others or others offend him.
This has almost become a psychological shadow for Fang Jun...
But my friends are taking advantage of the rare opportunity to get together during the Chinese New Year. Is it possible that they can go to an ordinary restaurant and drink like a bunch of idiots?
Too boring.
After all, I can't be the one who doesn't fit in, right? So I thought about it, thinking that I will never live in a brothel for the rest of my life. Now that I have risen to a high position, maybe the time will come...
Immediately, he packed up the documents and said goodbye to Xu Jingzong and Chu Suiliang. Surrounded by his troops, he quickly returned to Chang'an.
When we entered the city through Mingde Gate, it was already completely dark, and the lights in the city were first lit, making it a brilliant sight.
Although the imperial court has never had a policy to cancel the curfew, there is no order requiring a curfew. The gates of the square are open all night, allowing people to come and go. The east and west cities, which have been basically completed, are open all night, which leads to everywhere in the city in the middle of the night.
Vendors gathered together and it was bustling. The Jingzhao Mansion did not care about the vendors everywhere. As long as they did not affect public health, they left it alone. They also ordered the yamen servants and officials in the yamen not to charge management fees in any form, which made this kind of No. 1 in the world more and more popular.
The capital became a prosperous city that never sleeps.
In the second half of the night, Pingkangfang, located near Dongdong City in the east of the city, was decorated with lights and colorful carnival all night long.
The glorious age, the city that never sleeps.
…
A group of cavalry entered from the south of the city, marching along the brightly lit long street at neither fast nor slow speed. On the way, they happened to encounter Marquis Wu who was patrolling the city for inspection. They wanted to step forward to stop them, but when they saw a group of soldiers surrounded by Jin Jin, they
The heroic young man in a mink hat quickly stood still with his neck hunched, and even showed a smile on his face and performed a military salute when the cavalry passed by.
Now, in both the government and the public, who dares to provoke this gentleman?
Not everyone is a strong commander, everyone is a strong-willed censor...
This team of cavalry arrived in front of the gate of Pingkangfang, and then slowed down and stood still. The soldiers walked out quickly from the gate. When they saw Fang Jun among them, they quickly put on a smile, nodded and bowed and said: "It turns out that it is the Duke of Yue.
, are you planning to go to the banquet?"
Fang Jun nodded slightly, and the servant of the workshop had already called for someone to open the door of the workshop: "Quickly clear, please hurry up, I don't dare to delay your efforts."
It stands to reason that people who enter the house at night must go through a body search. This was the rule of the curfew in the past, but now even the curfew is described as ineffective. Who cares about these rules?
What's more, I don't dare to apply these rules to Fang Jun. Even though he is not senior and young, he is still a real official. Who dares to search for people like Xiao Yu, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Ji?
body?
Fang Jun didn't say anything, reined in his horse, and the horse moved forward and entered the square gate.
Wei Ying, who was behind him, followed closely. When he entered the square gate, he took out a bunch of copper coins from his bag, threw it to the square soldier, and said: "The Duke of Yue will reward the brothers with wine!"
With the sound of hoofbeats, a group of people had already entered the workshop.
The soldier collected the copper coins and said in a loud voice: "Thank you Duke Yue for the reward!" Then he stretched his neck and looked at the backs of these people.
The soldiers around him looked at the copper coins in his hand with a smile, and said happily: "I have wine after I get off duty in the evening. The Duke of Yue is really a particular person!"
"Yes, there are very few discerning people like Duke Yue who don't dislike our big-headed soldiers."
The slave looked away, sighed, and then said: "Hurry up and see which brothel Duke Yue is going to, and then rush to Jingzhao Mansion to report the news and let them prepare."
The soldier was confused and confused: "Well... they just go to a brothel to drink wine, what does it have to do with us?"
The soldier put the copper coins into his arms, gave the blind man a hard slap on the head, and yelled: "Are you stupid? He went to a brothel to drink wine, and the king of heaven and I couldn't care less.
But this guy has a bad temper and makes trouble every time he comes to Pingkangfang. He doesn't let the big men of Jingzhao Mansion prepare themselves. Is it possible that we will be responsible for it when something happens?"
Only then did the soldier cover his head and suddenly realized, and chased after him with numbness on his feet: "Don't worry, brother, I'll catch up with you, little one!"
Seeing the soldiers walking away, the soldier shook his head and turned back to the duty room behind the door.
The Duke of Yue was indeed extremely popular, but his bad temper was unbearable. Every time he brought Pingkangfang into chaos, the leader of the Wannian County Yamen where Pingkangfang was located ended up suffering. Not only
To bear the responsibilities above, we must also accept His Majesty the Emperor's orders...
How can we, a small worker, take on such a responsibility?
As long as the news is spread and Wannian County and Jingzhao Prefecture are given enough warning time, then even if Fang Erlang demolishes Pingkangfang, it will have nothing to do with us.
…
Wenhua Building can be regarded as the premier place in Pingkangfang. Its reputation is only slightly inferior to the first-class brothels such as Zuixian Building. However, it is also the place where princes and princes come and go and merchants gather. At this moment, each floor of the three-story building has hangings
The colorful lanterns were lit, and the colorful lanterns emitted dazzling light, illuminating the square in front of the building as bright as day.
Guests were coming in and out, and the waiters and stewards of Wenhua Building were greeting them. There was a lot of traffic in front of the door.
Until a group of cavalry with helmets and armor suddenly appeared, and the rumble of horse hooves shattered the bustling scene.
Who knows what this team of cavalry is here for? Anyone who dares to gallop through the city of Chang'an with his own troops or generals, no one is easy to get along with, either he is a powerful court boss, or
He is an arrogant and domineering dandy. No matter what kind of person he is, he is definitely not someone that others dare to mess with or want to mess with.
The originally noisy scene suddenly fell silent. The guests who were about to leave got on the carriages and left in a hurry to avoid getting into trouble. The guests who had just arrived stopped to watch curiously.
A group of cavalry came to the gate of Wenhua Tower and all reined in. The war horse "Herod" neighed and stood firmly. The cavalry on horseback turned over and dismounted uniformly, surrounded Fang Jun and walked towards
Go to the door.
When the nearby guests who were still watching saw Fang Jun, some of them turned around and left without saying a word...
