Chapter 47 I don't think so
Li Mu's confusion stems from his lack of understanding of the background and purpose of the construction of Chang'an City.
The current Chang'an City is no longer the same as the Chang'an City in the past ten dynasties such as the Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty.
In the early Sui Dynasty, the original Chang'an City was already dilapidated and the groundwater was severely polluted. It was called "Fat Water" at that time and was no longer suitable for drinking, and Chang'an was not suitable for being a capital.
Instead of repairing and repairing the original foundation, it is better to choose a new location and build a new city.
So on the Longshouyuan in the south of the original Han Chang'an City, the new Chang'an City was re-planned and built.
This city was basically completed in the Sui Dynasty. When the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty were alternating, it was basically not destroyed and was preserved intact. The Li family asked to pick up a ready-made one.
Therefore, there has always been a saying that "the Yang family built a city and lived in a Li family". It is considered that the Yang family planted trees and the Li family enjoyed the cool air.
Many other urban structures are formed by natural development and expansion.
Chang'an City is different. It is built by artificial planning.
The original design concept first considered not the question of whether the residents' lives are convenient, but the question of military defense and ruling order.
The tall and thick city walls are designed for military defense.
The lifang closure and curfew system in the city are management measures taken to maintain the ruling order.
As for the convenience of residents' lives and activity spaces, the prosperity and convenience of business are not a priority at all.
It is more appropriate to say that this is a large military fortress than to say that it is a city.
Finally, the drums rang, the gates opened, and the crowd began to pour into the East City.
The structure of the East City is roughly the same as that of the West City. It has two vertical and two horizontal main roads, dividing the entire market into nine major districts. Within the nine major districts, each with a cross street, and dividing each major district into four communities.
Various stores are also distributed according to industry.
The difference between the two is that the West City is the end of the Silk Road, with more international trade components there and greater proportion of domestic trade in the East City.
Entering from the south gate, the Pace Office first came.
"The Pingju Office is an official and businessman. Anything that is not used in the government, the property of a criminal or the things confiscated by the government, will be sold by the Pingju Office."
Yang Hong began to introduce Li Mu.
Most of the staff of the Pingju Office are officials, orders, chiefs, supervisors, and other matters.
In addition to some residential and commercial banks on the right, the main feature is the entertainment area, where some artists perform here.
There are many people watching the pipa playing, the jealous drums, dance, acrobatics and hundreds of plays, as well as those who dance Hu Xuan, sell various musical instruments, monkeys, etc.
On the left is the beautiful silk shop, one by one, densely packed.
Next is the East Municipal Bureau, which is the market management agency.
There are evil spirits, pen walks, iron walks, etc. on the right, and there are donkey rentals, that is, donkey rentals,
It is equivalent to a taxi in the Tang Dynasty.
On the left are Diao Family Printing, Li Family Printing Store, etc., which is the publishing industry.
Going further forward is the Changping position, and the most conspicuous one on the right is the release pond.
"Some people are determined to release animals and accumulate virtue. If they buy live fish, turtles and other living things in the market, they will go to the release pond to release animals."
On the left are meat shops, wine shops, Biluo shops, food shops, Hu Ji Restaurants and other shops
This Biluo is quite interesting. It is quite popular in the east, west, south, and south of the Tang Dynasty. It is a famous snack.
There are roughly two forms, one is like pilaf rice, and the other is a pasta with stuffing. It can be eaten by steaming or baking. It is a bit like buns, but it is not buns.
It is said that it was originally transmitted from Persia.
There are many kinds of pasta Biluo. Just here, there are cherry Biluo, smallpox Biluo, crab roe Biluo, meat Biluo, etc.
This area is basically a diet area. It sells various ingredients, and also opens various shops and restaurants.
"There are many people here, so you need to open a restaurant, which is the most suitable place."
Yang Hong is right, this is also Li Mu's goal.
"I came to see it yesterday. I thought it was good. Sir."
The first one is between two Biluo stores, which is small. Li Mu took a look and denied it.
The second store is between two meat shops. Not to mention anything else, the taste and blood stains on the ground and the flying flies make people persuade them to retreat.
"Where is the other one?"
"This house is a little remote. It has not been rented out in the woods over there for several years. I think it's not possible."
"Go and take a look."
Following a forest path, Li Mu followed Yang Hong to a quiet place, a separate courtyard, presenting it in front of him.
Li Mu couldn't help but lit up.
This is where I'm looking for.
A buffet restaurant with women as its main customer base needs such a quiet and relatively isolated place.
Facing north and south, the house is roughly divided into three parts: East Hall, Middle Hall, West Hall. There are three slightly smaller ear rooms to the west.
"There are two houses at the back. Although this place is spacious, it is remote and rarely visited. So it has been idle. The rent is much cheaper."
“How much is the rent?”
"Twenty-four trump cards a year."
Two chunks a month, two thousand cents a day, and an average of about seventy cents a day is not much, it is very cheap.
"It's here. Go and find the East City Bureau and rent it down."
"This... sir, can this work? Will you discuss it with your wife before talking about it?"
"This place is difficult to find. If someone rents it first, it will be difficult to find such a suitable place in the future."
"Don't worry about this, people from the East City Bureau said that no one has come to rent here for several years."
"Okay, go back and discuss with your wife before talking."
If it were Li Mu's own business, he would rent it now. Now he is partnering with Mrs. Yang, and Yang Hong is representing Mrs. Yang. If he has objections, Li Mu will not be able to make decisions.
"You go and find someone from the East City Bureau, let's go in and take a closer look."
Not long after, Yang Hong found someone from the East Municipal Bureau to come. Li Mu went in and checked each room one by one, and became more determined to rent the place.
After returning home, I immediately went to Mrs. Yang's place.
Li Mu told Mrs. Yang what he thought, and Yang Hong also expressed his opinions. The two naturally had different views.
Mrs. Yang pondered for a long time.
"Sir, I think what Yang Hong said makes sense. It's too remote and no one goes there. I think the buffet you mentioned and the exquisite women's affairs are a bit whimsical. I'd better change the place."
Mrs. Yang disagreed with her plan, and Li Mu was not surprised.
After all, my creativity is a bit shocking and even a little crazy in this era.
However, if you want to make a lot of money in the shortest time, you cannot go the ordinary path.
"I don't force my wife to say this. But I must do this. In this way, I will do this buffet by myself and I will pay the capital myself. If I lose money in the future, it has nothing to do with my wife."
"The restaurant business is as we said, just do it like this. I don't work with my wife. It's the wife's own business. Don't worry, I won't stand by and watch, and I will still help the wife get it done."
"How can you be so embarrassed?"
"Madam helps me again and again, it's okay to put some effort into it."
"Okay, sir, it's really a demeanor. It's just a matter of fan..."
"Madam, don't worry, we are still in partnership with the folding fan business, just like the previous agreement."
"Okay, refreshing and decent, I'm just going to settle it. However, I still advise you to consider the buffet you mentioned carefully."
Chapter completed!
