Chapter 89: Pingkangfang

Shortly after Xi Yunfei left, Butler Yu took a cart of fragrant paper and ink ingots and happily returned to Yu's mansion.

He did not doubt Zhen Youcai's rhetoric, after all, Yu Xianglan has indeed indirectly advertised a lot of advertisements for the Shuofang Chamber of Commerce.

In this era, pen, ink, paper and inkstone were basically monopolized.

When Shuofang Chamber of Commerce first launched incense stickers and ink ingots, the response on the market was not very good.

It is true that the paper and ink of Shuofang Chamber of Commerce have a special fragrance, but calligraphy and painting are all in line with the crowd.

Those scholars and officials said that ordinary paper and ink were more self-cultivating, but some people believed it.

Therefore, the incense paper and ink ingots of Shuofang Chamber of Commerce were instead criticized for being extravagant and extremely evil.

It was not until Yu Xianglan returned to Chang'an that at an accidental poetry meeting, Xi Yunfei's poem "Taohua Temple" was displayed to everyone.

The paper and ink she used were incense paper and ink ingots launched by the Shuofang Chamber of Commerce.

As a result, many wealthy families in Chang'an who took her as an example became the first group of followers.

Then, these graceful ladies led the young master who pursued them.

In less than a month, the incense sticks and ink ingots that were ignored by Shuofang Chamber of Commerce were sold out directly.

Nowadays, it has become a hot luxury product with a shortage of supply.

Butler Yu, who knows the process well, and the maids of the Yu family, have always felt that the Chamber of Commerce owes Yu Xianglan a favor.

Now, I can be considered a return today.

Butler Yu happily sent a cart of fragrant paper ink ingots and a box of extra rouge and water powder Zhen Youcai gave back to his house.

He did not unbox the box and checked it, so he asked the maid to send it directly to the backyard.

What he didn't expect was that this box of things was just turned away by the servant who was guarding the door three days ago.

In the box, there was also a post written by Xi Yunfei to Yu Shinan, which was stuffed into by Wang Dachui...

On the other side.

After Xi Yunfei returned to the princess's mansion, he had lunch briefly and before he could have time to take a break, someone came to visit.

The visitor has a great status. In the dynasty, Du Duan and Du Ruhui, who are known as Du Duan, are known as Du Duan.

In the reception room of the Princess's Mansion.

Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning briefly greeted Du Ruhui, then said goodbye with Mu Ziyi and left.

Leaving Xi Yunfei and Du Ruhui were sitting opposite each other.

Du Ruhui took a drawing from his entourage, and after spreading it out, it was the layout drawing of Pingkangfang purchased by Xi Yunfei.

"Mr. Lang, this is the artwork you asked for before. I asked someone to search the old books of the previous dynasty and finally found it."

Xi Yunfei looked over and looked at him. What a guy, it was indeed a bit old. The beginning of the drawings also read the words "Da Sui Dynasty and Daxing City".

In fact, he just said casually at that time, even if there were no drawings, he could turn around and survey and map the airship at high altitude.

However, with drawings, it is better to make it easier for you to make more systematic transformations in the original layout.

Du Ruhui saw Xi Yunfei leaning his head and said with a smile: "Langjun, please see, except for these two Taoist temples, other places can be demolished and rebuilt. Although Pingkangfang is not the largest market, it is the flattest terrain and the difficulty of transformation is the least."

Xi Yunfei didn't notice that there were two Taoist temples in the drawings at first. Hearing this, he lowered his head and frowned slightly.

"These two Taoist temples are quite large in size, why can't they be demolished?"

"……this."

Du Ruhui was stunned when he heard this. What could this be the reason? Li Shimin respected Laozi as the saint and called him "Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan". He was the first branch of the imperial family. It is no secret that the entire Tang Dynasty has promoted Taoism.

Seeing that he wanted to speak, Xi Yunfei said curiously: "What, is there any hidden secrets?"

Du Ruhui didn't expect that Xi Yunfei was really stupid. After a while, he thought about it and explained: "These two Taoist temples were just built at the beginning of the year. Isn't it a pity to demolish them now? Moreover, the incense of the Taoist temple is good, and you can...you know the income."

When Xi Yunfei heard this, he didn't say anything else. In fact, he still has a good impression of Taoism, at least not like Buddhism. There is a saying that it is closed in troubled times to avoid goods. Of course, there is no meaning of belittlement here. Many temples still have real Buddhas.

However, in comparison, the character of Taoism that retired in prosperous times and came out to save the world in troubled times was even more recognized by Xi Yunfei.

(Sensitive topics are no longer discussed, and everyone who knows them understands them.)

"If you don't demolish it, don't demolish it, but please ask me if the two Taoist temples can be integrated into one, and I can help them expand it for free."

"This should be fine... Or, let's go to Pingkangfang together in the afternoon?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Yunfei took out his cell phone and looked at the time, nodded with depression. It seemed that he couldn't sleep at noon.

Chang'an City and Pingkangfang are located in the northwest corner of the East City. Relying on the prosperous trade in the East City, most of the people living here are mainly foreign vendors. Over time, they have gradually become places for market vendors to hoard goods or conduct illegal transactions.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the supervision of Chang'an increased by several levels. One of them stipulates that all bulk trade must be carried out under the supervision of the government and cannot be separated from the east and west markets.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Pingkangfang is at the foot of the imperial city. How can you peddlers live here?

It’s all caused by class. Those who are officials just don’t want to be neighbors with these people, so one word is to be demolished!

Of course, there is no subsidy for demolition in this era, otherwise Xi Yunfei's money for buying land would have to be several times higher.

When Xi Yunfei's electric car stopped at the entrance of the shop, he could also see the scene of moving indignantly with vendors.

Qianniuwei, wearing gold and armor, would not be polite to them. If anyone was a little slow, he would raise his whip and wave it over.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are still missing two classes.

Many vendors with family members look like they are losing their parents. The children in their arms are crying and their backs are about to be crushed by the goods on their backs, but they cannot leave anything behind, because whether it is children or goods, they are their lifeblood.

Xi Yunfei couldn't bear to look at him, and his eyebrows slightly frowned.

Du Ruhui, who was originally admiring the interior of an electric car, probably saw it, and smiled and said, "Don't you think it's too ruthless for us to do this?"

Xi Yunfei was slightly stunned, withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and said, "Mr. Du is thinking too much. I am not a saint. I just feel that... they have moved away, so there is no need to urge me like this."

Du Ruhui's lips raised slightly and said with a smile: "Do you know, how long has the public announcement of the demolition and renovation of Pingkangfang been posted?"

Xi Yunfei smiled loudly, okay, nail owners do have them in any era.

Du Ruhui saw Xi Yunfei smiling but said nothing, and then explained: "Since the beginning of the year, Your Majesty issued an order to let me govern the inner city. Pingkangfang notice was posted three months ago. Moreover, I had prepared a new home for them in Yongpingfang, south of the city. However, these people ignored it and continued to manage their lives every day..."

Xi Yunfei turned his gaze outside the car window and looked at the team moving towards the south of the city like a tide. Regarding Du Ruhui's complaints, he just went in his left ear and out his right ear, and put himself in his shoes. In fact, each has its own difficulties.

Pingkangfang is next to the East City, Yongpingfang is in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, and there are several buildings separated from the nearest West City. The value of the two places is incomparable. To be honest, if it were me, I would probably not move so early.

I don’t know how long it took, but the number of people walking out of the gate of the house gradually became rare. Xi Yunfei continued to listen to Du Ruhui’s complaints, and his eyes signaled Wang Dachui to drive in and take a look.
