Good Life in Qin Dynasty

This is a rare first-hand historical data!

Li Jiyang thought a lot. He wanted to see Xianyang City with his own eyes, a Xianyang City that he could never dream of.

The other is to invite a gentleman back to teach them how to read and write. I am half illiterate, and a group of children at home.

In addition, his income has been getting better and better recently. Apart from real gold, silver and copper coins, there are several boxes of gems, jade, pearls, amber, turquoise, onyx, etc., and they are all high-quality goods!

Li Jiyang saw that there was no shortage of money at home, so he called Manager Li Zhong: "Clean up a yard, and then we will go to Xianyang City together, and invite a gentleman to come back and teach everyone to learn the characters of Qin State. Doesn’t it make people laugh if they don’t even know how to write in their own country?”

"It's been prepared a long time ago!" Butler Li Zhong was very excited when he heard that, "In the past, the yard where the Eldest and Second Young Masters study has been cleaned all the time."

I regretted it a bit after I finished speaking.

There is a place to study at home, and they can afford a husband, but they sent away Fifth Young Master alone back then!

"That's good. Now pack it up and find a place to live for the husband. It can't be too bad. Call four aunts and two servants to take care of it. After a few days, the weather will be better. I will go to Xianyang City with you. Please It would be better for your husband to take care of his family, so as to save trouble." Li Jiyang slowly calculated.

He is only 15 years old after the new year, and he is still a year away from adulthood. He has plenty of time to take his time.

Butler Li Zhong didn't quite understand at first, but later he saw that Li Jiyang asked him to prepare either an elderly aunt or a servant for his husband, and then he realized that the young master meant that he didn't want the servants at home to rely on them.

fair enough.

After a few days, Li Jiyang saw that the weather had improved, and finally thought about going to the city.

Don't look at Gao Zhan and they come here easily, it's because they often go out and run like this, but Li Jiyang has never been out in Lijiazhuang since he was here.

When he went out this time, he entrusted his little nephew to Nanny Lan, and the Li family village was handed over to Butler Li Zhong, who brought Li Fu, Li Ping, Li An, and little loli Chunya.

And Li Fu had already received a list of some things his father asked him to buy. With the money in his pocket, he ordered eight big-bodied servants with firewood knives to follow them, and drove out of Lijiazhuang in a four-two ox cart.

Li Jiyang was of course the first car he took. The bullock cart made for him by Qing Lingzi was of natural wood color, and in his capacity, it was impossible for him to make a luxurious painted car. It was used by nobles. His two small carts look small on the outside, but they actually have quite a lot of space inside.

It's just that the big ones are not so obvious, and the kind that "mortals" won't notice.

The car he was riding in was covered with a thick mattress, on which a sheepskin mattress was spread, and there were shelves with small railings on both sides, on which were placed water bags and Qin bamboo slips.

On the other side is a bronze incubator. If you travel in winter, put a few pieces of charcoal inside to keep the cabin warm.

Originally, he thought he would bring a small thing like a tea stove, to heat it up on the road, but in the end, Chunya, who was sitting behind an ox cart, took all of them, except for the small stove for cooking, and the bronze pot, Casserole and flint and steel etc.

Luggage is placed on the third ox cart, and the fourth ox cart is filled with people.

They have to walk for a day on the road, then stay in an inn outside the city for one night, and then walk for half a day before entering Xianyang City.

This is because Li Jiyang has come to stay at the inn. In the past, housekeeper Li Zhong would at most ask everyone to find a leeward place and use thatch to build a simple thatched shed for the night.

They brought a lot of people, but because they knew they could stay in the inn, they didn't bring any luggage, and all they brought were things for the young master. Chunya was afraid that the young master would dislike the unclean things in the inn.

After a year of getting along, everyone understands a truth: the young master loves to be clean!

It's not the usual cleanliness!

This can be seen from the fact that people in Lijiazhuang take a bath every three to five days, no one can get lice!

Only Li Jiyang and Chunya were alone in the ox cart, and the rest of them were scattered in the third and fourth ox carts.

After leaving Lijiazhuang, bypassing the small river, and passing through a forest, Li Jiyang realized how secret Lijiazhuang was.

If it weren't for this almost invisible path, he couldn't believe that there were people behind that forest!

Because if you look outside, even if there are no leaves in the spring, you can only see the silhouette of the mountain. Ten out of ten people will think that after passing the woods, you will be at the foot of the mountain!

Who would have thought that there was a hidden cave in Lijiazhuang?

And looking at the appearance of the nearby mountains, there may be some large beasts in the mountains!

At this time, Li Jiyang especially admired the old man in Lijiazhuang who was said to be his father, he really knew how to choose a place!

After passing through the woods, they walked for a long time before finding a road. It was a standard dirt road. Not far to the east of the dirt road was the main road.

But that road is not something they can walk, it is for officials, post soldiers, etc., that is, Qin Zhidao of later generations is not called this name now.

After walking all morning, we stopped by the side of the road at noon.

"Young master, get out of the car and take a break!" Although the man jolted a bit in the car, it was effortless, but the old cow couldn't do it. After pulling the car all morning, the animals had to be given a rest.

"Okay!" Li Jiyang got out of the bullock cart very obediently.

The bullock cart is not high, so he can get down by himself without help.

Today he picked a good day, the wind was sunny and not cold, he was wearing thin cotton clothes, standing in a clean place, stretching his waist.

Chunya quickly directed the staff to remove the small stove and boil water, which was requested by Li Jiyang, even if there was no tea, he would not let people drink raw water.

Little Loli set up two stoves, one to boil water, and the other to heat mutton soup. The yellow steamed buns are brought with them. When the mutton soup is hot, sprinkle a handful of dried vegetables in it. After cooking, take it out and share it with In the bowl, drink a bowl of yellow steamed buns, it's lunch.

Originally there was no food for lunch, but Li Jiyang asked to bring it, and housekeeper Li Zhong gave it.

He was also afraid that if the young master went out, he would be hungry or something.

Li Jiyang ate a yellow bun and stopped eating. He drank a bowl of soup, which warmed his body, and shared the rest with the people who came with him.

After resting for a while, they put on the ox cart again, and everyone started on their way again.

Li Jiyang's ox cart is very stable, even if he walks on the dirt road with large and small bumps, he can't feel the bumps, which Li Jiyang is very satisfied with.

In the ancient times when there were no rubber and shock absorbing springs, and the wooden wheels were not so very round, could this car not be bumpy!

Lying bored in the car, he fell asleep. When he woke up, the car was still swaying. They didn't arrive at a place until sunset. There were no walls around the place. It was just a whole street with shops on both sides. , there are the most restaurants and inns, and there are seven or eight houses with lanterns hanging, and women in thin clothes standing at the door. Those are prostitution inns, big and small. Li Jiyang picked the biggest one to stay in. Tall and tall, the inside is not bad, it is clean, and the waiter in the shop looks enthusiastic.

"How many guests are you?" Li Jiyang got out of the car and took the lead to go in, followed by Chunya little loli, and the rest were at the door.

Li Jiyang raised his head and glanced at the inn. It was in the shape of a two-story building, and the stairs were made of earthen cushions. It looked quite solid: "Sixteen people, we need seven upper rooms!"

Because when he looked towards the second floor, he found that there were seven guest rooms on the front of the second floor.

"I'm sorry for this guest, but there are only five rooms left vacant." The boss came out of the room himself, and smiled at Li Jiyang.

Their inn doesn't look like it's open and has a constant flow of passengers, but how many people can actually afford a room?

The single room that he usually lives in, Datongpu's is always tight and not enough, and he plans to build a few more Datongpu rooms.

"That's five upper rooms. If it's not enough, I need a few single rooms. Now, take me to Datongpu to see." Li Jiyang was curious about what the upper rooms in this era are like, and how the single rooms are. Datongpu also wanted to go and see.

The smile on the innkeeper's face could hardly be maintained: "What did you say?"

"I want to go and see Datong shop. I haven't seen anything like it yet!" Li Jiyang was very excited.

"Little Six! Little Six!" The innkeeper shouted loudly, "Take this young master to the Datong Shop at the back!"

Datongpu's room is very big, and there are big windows, but now the windows are hung with a dusty cloth curtain, so you can't see inside.

Xiaoliuzi is the waiter in the store, commonly known as the "waiter".

The house of Datongpu is built in the yard behind the inn, and many mulberry trees are planted in the yard, so that some silkworms can be raised, or the mulberry leaves can be picked for sale.

Little Six led him to the door. Li Jiyang took a closer look at the exterior, and felt that it was similar to the building at home, except that it was raised a little higher, probably because this was an inn, while his was a farm.

Before the little six opened the door, he held his breath secretly. As soon as the door opened, Li Jiyang stretched his neck in, and glanced at it. It's such a big shop!

Then a very indescribable smell rushed out!

In the memory of that glance, there were at least thirty or forty people lying on the kang, all men with bare feet, and some people were urinating in the corner, that bucket of urine was huge!

Li Jiyang turned around and hugged the tree trunk next to him and spat on it!

The hygienic conditions inside were beyond Li Jiyang's imagination!

Little Six didn't expect this young master to react so strongly!

The guest who had the biggest reaction he had ever seen just went to the private room with a disgusted expression on his nose!

Most people's reaction is just to frown!

Who doesn't have such a day in this year and month?Maybe there is no Chase paved at home yet!

Of course, seeing this young master has never suffered a lot. Although he looks simple, his demeanor and what he wears are not what ordinary people can have.

"Master, are you alright?" Little Six even leaned forward, looking at him worriedly.

"It's okay, let's go, take me to the private room!" Li Jiyang wiped his mouth, and he couldn't live in this place for change!

"Hey, then go this way!" Seeing that he was fine, Little Six insisted on seeing the private room, so he showed him the relatively clean private room on the east side.

The single room is nice, with windows facing the sun, and beige cloth curtains are hung, and the bedding inside is all newly purchased. Li Jiyang even touched it, and the starched bedding is very clean.

There is a Gong bucket in the room, but the room is too small. If it is a large size, it will definitely stink, and Li Jiyang doesn't like it very much. "Let's live in the room and take me to see it." Li Jiyang waved his hand.

Little Six had no choice but to take him up to the second floor. There were five upper rooms in a row, all of the same layout. There were inner and outer rooms, and the inner room was made of wood, covered with thick quilts. Case and so on.

The wall between the inside and the outside is a wall of fire, which becomes hot when the fire is lit in winter.

The outer room is for receiving guests. There is a table covered with fine straw mats, a table, and two large "deng" lamps, the kind used for lighting.

There was also a faint fragrance in the room, the smell of grass, not flowers, if it was flowers, Li Jiyang would not want to live in the house.

The inside and the outside are separated by light silk curtains. At this time, they are tied to the pillars, but they all look clean.

The ground was very flat, and there were straw mats on the floor. Li Jiyang came in, took off his shoes and went inside to touch the bedding. They were all new!

Because it can be seen that even if it is used once, there will be creases.

"I've got all five rooms, stay for one night." Li Jiyang finally nodded, and settled here by the way: "How much is the price for one night?"

Dear ones, because the Spring Festival is in January, there are some things at home in Jianghu, so the first and second changes of this month are at noon and evening respectively.
