Practice begins with the awakening of the possessed old devil

Gui Shachou was full of complaints, and also complained: "Yeah, this made us unable to turn around for a while, and we couldn't accept it."

"There is a great business in Jiangling Mansion. We have just started. After eating it, we put it down immediately, and suddenly went to the capital to start a new stove..."

"You think I want to?" Ni Qi interrupted the complaints of the two guys.

"It took me a lot of effort and hard work to pull up such a little family property. The emperor issued an imperial decree lightly and skillfully, and deprived me of everything in an instant."

"It was the same with the [-] soldiers I raised at my own expense last time, and it's the same with the ranks and properties of the magistrates and properties in Jiangling City this time."

"It's useless to say anything now, you must go to Beijing by order."

"How dangerous the capital is, I think you all know better than me, and I expect you to accompany me and help me with all your strength."

"Boss has an order, we should follow everything carefully, and hand over the business in Jiangling's mansion to the stingy ghost Lu Laosan, and we will go to Beijing with you to develop," Gui Shachou immediately nodded in agreement.

"I don't have any cronies to take care of my two properties, Xunyue Building and Rugui Inn, so I can only hand them over to these two untrustworthy shopkeepers for the time being."

"In the future, if you subdue your cronies in the capital, you can appoint them to take over these two properties," Ni Qi made up his mind.

This time he didn't deliberately inform Wei Changfeng, knowing that Wei Changfeng was used to being free and unrestrained, and he didn't want to be restrained by himself.

It's fine if you don't forcefully take him to the capital, but let Wei Changfeng keep an eye on Jiangling City, and secretly watch the industry and underground union here for Ni Qi behind the scenes.

So two days later, Ni Qi had officially packed up and set out.

In addition to hiring several carriages, they carried Silverback Vajra Ape, Princess Roxana, Moon in the Water, Yugu, Ghost Mastiff, Duan's three mothers and daughters, and several eagles and birds of prey including Princess Roxana.

In addition, Ghost Shachou and Shapolang organized [-] to [-] elite gangsters to form an accompanying escort team to accompany Ni Qi and his party to the capital to take up their duties.

This road is also mighty, and Ni Qi's lineup is not small.

Fortunately, the distance from Jiangling to Jinling is a waterway all the way. You can take a boat down the river and go straight to Jinling.

And even if it is land, there are wide roads along the way, without any delay in the journey.

Nearly ten days and a half months later, Ni Qi and his entourage arrived outside Jinling City. The stalking ghost Wei Lao Wu, the confidant of the ghost Shachou and Sha Polang, led a large group of local snakes in the capital to welcome them in the city. outside the door.

"Wei Laowu, let's serve the Lord wholeheartedly and lead the way into the city," Gui Shachou didn't say much, but straightforwardly ordered Wei Laowu, the haunting ghost who had just met.

"First settle down our master properly, and the benefits in the future will naturally be indispensable to you."

Wei Laowu didn't dare to say "no" more, and hurriedly led the way.

As soon as they entered the city gate, the city gate guards did not dare to be troublesome and obstructed. Ni Qi was an official appointed by the imperial court, and he was appointed by the emperor to serve in Beijing.

Only after entering the capital, did I realize that the bustling, bustling, rich and dignified city is completely incomparable to Jiangling and Nanyang.

Walking on the central axis of Jinling City after entering the city gate, it is the wide and straight Changning Avenue, which leads directly to the Chengtian Gate of Miyagi City, like a ribbon, connecting the whole city into a whole.

On its upper, lower, left, and right sides, there are also straight and upright streets, making the entire Jinling City look like a huge Go board.

And these "small squares" divided by streets are the places where the people in the city live, and they are called "squares".

There are 14 east-west avenues and 11 north-south avenues, with a total area of ​​110 square meters (squares), with a total area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers.

Each square is surrounded by walls and divided by streets, making Jinling City a well-organized city composed of many squares.

There are princely mansions and common people's mansions in the square, because the layout of official houses and mansions is completely separated, which is superior, orderly, and neat.

A curfew system was enforced on the square, and the bustling capital square during the day fell into silence at night, nurturing more positive forces for a new prosperity tomorrow.

You can see merchants gathering, bustling bazaars, and shops in the city selling a wide variety of commodities, including Chinese and foreign food, daily necessities, clothing, food, housing, transportation, medicinal materials, musical instruments, melons, fruits, poultry, juggling... everything, and even the rudiments of financial institutions.

Compared with the commercial pedestrian streets in our metropolises today, this kind of prosperity may not be too much.

In addition, there are many temples and temples in Jinling City, many landscape gardens, and rivers and canals intersect and surround, forming a "harmonious humanistic picture scroll" with small bridges, flowing water, harmonious people and water, and beautiful ecology.

"The capital is so prosperous, it really opened my eyes."

Seeing such a bustling scene in the capital along the way, Ni Qi couldn't help feeling emotional for a while as he rode beside the carriage where the Persian princess Roxanna and Shuiyue were sitting together.

"It is said that if we develop to the most prosperous and rich places, there will be more opportunities."

"Let's go to Beijing, it seems that it's not as bad as imagined, on the contrary, there may be a lot to do. It really is better to be in the capital!"

Walking through the bustling and bustling streets of Three Streets and Six Markets, he quickly turned into a large mansion behind Xishi Street in the middle of the city, which was still relatively far from the Imperial Palace.

In the middle of the northernmost part of the city are the imperial city and Miyagi, where the emperor usually works and lives.

The so-called emperor faces south from the north, and the south is called Gu.

The symbol of the emperor's imperial power is all based on the north, and it is very particular about facing the south.

Even the layout of the imperial palace and the entire capital is the same, as well as the daily emperor's seat, mausoleum and so on.

The area where the Imperial City and Miyagi are located should now be the center of the entire capital, and these "squares" around the Imperial City and Miyagi are bustling areas.

It is also the most expensive area in the city center, where many dignitaries and dignitaries live.

On the other hand, in the south of the city, that is, those "squares" that are relatively far away from the palace city and the imperial city, in other words, are far away from the city center, so their housing prices are relatively low.

PS:

Note:
The official functions of Taichang Temple, such as the affairs of ritual and music, suburban temples, shrines, altars, and mausoleums, are handled by Shaoqing, and the prime minister participates in them.

There are five names of rites: auspicious rites, guest rites, military rites, honorable rites, and fierce rites.All are in charge of their institutional ceremonies.

There are large temples and small temples for worship.The sacrifices, coins, jade, wine, recommended offerings, and utensils and clothes are all distinguished; the rhythm of the music, music and dance, and music are based on the system of fixed palace frames and special frames, and the sacrifices and enjoyments are divided into music and sequenced.

Fanqin Ancestral Hall and Simeng Yue Dynasty Xianjingling Palace, Suburban Sacrifice and Xiangxiang Taimiao, applauding the festival of the ups and downs of etiquette.

At the age of pilgrimage to the mausoleum, it is given to the temple officials according to the French style.

All ancestral temple affairs, dispatching officials, divination, and fasting are all reported to hear.

If the consul is used at the beginning, the Qing will be the final one, and the Shaoqing will be the second one; the doctor will be the final one;

Mansion: The layout of ancient Chinese buildings always takes a main longitudinal axis as the main axis, with the main buildings arranged on the main axis, and the secondary buildings arranged on both sides in front of the main building, facing each other from east to west.

Its layout form is often north-south, with a square or rectangular courtyard.

This kind of courtyard layout not only meets the living needs of safety, sunshine and protection from wind and cold, but also conforms to the system of patriarchal clan and ethics in ancient Chinese society.

This rigorous layout is not rigid and rigid, but the multi-entry and multi-courtyard spaces are arranged into a changing and personalized space series.

Like the courtyard houses in Beijing, its four-entry courtyards are different.

The first entrance is a horizontally long inverted courtyard, the second entrance is a rectangular triple courtyard, the third entrance is a square quadrangle courtyard, and the fourth entrance is a horizontally long covered courtyard.

The four-entry courtyards have different planes and are matched with different facades of buildings. Flowers and trees are planted in the courtyards, and rock bonsai are placed in the courtyards to make the space environment fresh and lively, quiet and pleasant.

Affected by the concept of feudal hierarchy, most of the houses have no terraces, and there are only two types of roofs: hanging mountains and hard mountains.

But it is also arranged in a courtyard style, the north room is the hall, the east and west rooms and the side rooms are the living rooms, and the east room is the top; in multi-courtyard houses, the upper courtyard on the central axis is the top; living is also arranged according to traditional etiquette.
