The officials wanted to entertain Guo Shao, but he refused.
Guo Shao was not keen on those occasions. In the past, he went to local towns just for socializing; but now he doesn't need to give face to the subordinate officials, and can choose his own preferences.
A group of four rode away from Zaojiafang, and soon saw a town without a wall.From a distance, it looks like a tent set up by an army, a large area of simple houses.
But when Guo Shao and others approached, they saw that the dirt road was very lively, with many people selling things, wine shops, and stalls.
There were also people selling art on the street, and a group of people shouted: OK!Good... It's a lot of noisy.
The official officer with a high-top hat and soap boots were also watching. The official shop in Kaifeng Prefecture had already been set up here.
In the farming era, except for cities, there were few cities with concentrated populations, and the population was scattered in various places. Most people make a living by farming.So this kind of place is relatively rare.
Fu Jinzhan looked at the surrounding scene with interest, and seemed very happy at this time.
In Guo Shao's opinion, it is ordinary, but it is very novel and interesting to her. Obviously, people like Fu Jinzhan will not go shopping.
Guo Shao led the horse and walked side by side with her, saying casually: This place turned out to be a wasteland and farmland, and the market suddenly appeared after a few months.There were officials, craftsmen and handymen in Zaojiafang. These people could get money from the court, but they would not farm again; they had to use money to buy food, clothing, housing and transportation, and this was how the market was driven.The money we get back from Shu not only feeds officials and soldiers.If handicrafts and commerce continue to develop, it will bring prosperity to the world.
Fu Jinzhan listened to Guo Shao's description, looked sideways slightly and said softly with a soothing rhythm: In the officials' memorials, they will recommend encouraging farming to reduce hunger.So many people no longer farm, but their food and clothing still depend on farmers to farm.
Guo Shao said: The court officials have different ideas, and they are not wrong to write a book like this.
Ideas…I want to hear your concept.Fu Jinzhan smiled.
Guo Shao thought about it: Unless farming is too short of labor, how many people engage in farming will not affect grain output. The factors that determine grain output are the cultivated land area and yield per mu.No matter what a person is doing, he has to eat, and the weight of the food consumed will not change.
If natural disasters and man-made disasters are not considered, some of them will not affect the hunger and cold of the people; on the contrary, these people engaged in manual commerce will also create value, create tools, better items, and provide convenient services.Better tools and labor methods will feed back the land and produce.
Fu Jinzhan said: Since ancient times, we have always valued agriculture and neglected commerce. Guo... the husband's statement is a bit strange.When she called out the word "Husband", her voice became smaller and her face turned red.
Guo Shao said: If there is not enough food, we should care about what to plant on arable land. Commercial interests may cause problems such as some, such as people use fertile fields for growing grain to plant mulberry trees for silk... Vibrant and promising civilization is expanding. If we do not have enough food, but have advanced force and society, we can expand outward to obtain imports of grain or occupy arable land elsewhere.
He also said: There is no such thing as "the rich people's wine and meat are smelly, and the road is frozen to death." If the rich people's excess grain is not wasted in storage and banquets, and they are traded for other enjoyment, the development of business may also make more efficient use of resources.
Ancient ancestors had coins very early, and they used shells as copper coins at the beginning.It is to trade, exchange what you don’t use for useful things; each takes rich materials to reduce poverty and prosper the economy.
Fu Jinzhan thought to herself and nodded slightly: Husband... His words make sense, think about it, that's what happened.
If I suggest national policies, I will use the policy of valuing business under the interference of the imperial decrees to limit the use of fertile fertile land, expand and open up trading markets.Guo Shao said.
He thought about it and said: I will write a letter, and we must explicitly prohibit practices such as tangling small feet that restrict women's freedom; if a woman can do things, her human resources will increase significantly, replenishing the labor lost due to leaving farming.It is no longer appropriate for men to farm and women to weave. The value of women weaving is too small. It can replace the textile industry with large-scale workshops like Zaojiafang. A few people can satisfy many people's clothes and keep warm.
Fu Jinzhan listened to Guo Shao's remarks patiently. Although he was suspected of being innovative, his explanation was relatively simple and direct, and the simpler it was, the easier it was to accept it.
However, when Guo Shao spoke, he was still paying attention to Fu Jinzhan's reaction, and she covered her forehead with her palms.
Seeing this, Guo Shao looked up and saw that the sun was almost at the height of the sky, so he said: Are you hungry, second sister?Let's find a place to have a meal.
Eat here?Fu Jinzhan looked at the dusty dirt roads and simple houses, frowned slightly, wasn't it clean?
Guo Shao said: Let’s find a more off-the-scene place.
They walked through the streets and alleys between the houses for a while and found that it was not so noisy here, and there were houses of people's homes around them.
Guo Shao saw a snack shop with steamer outside and smiled and said: Just try it here, don’t worry, this kind of store is generally okay.The surrounding residents are relatively fixed and they do business with acquaintances; and they are usually in family shops, where hungry people know how to cherish food, and they will cook with care.
Then give it a try.After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan showed a very novel expression and said softly, "I have never eaten outside."
As soon as I walked in, I saw a little lady by the stove standing there, looking at Fu Jinzhan.The middle-aged man holding the spoon hurriedly shouted: Here is a visitor!
A young man with a sackcloth wiped the table, looking at Guo Shao and others curiously: Sit down, what do you want to eat?Guo Shao took out a small string of copper coins and took a look at me at the horse tied outside.
OK, very stolen!The boy was very happy to see Guo Shao making a move.No one dares to steal that kind of horse, military horse... In the suburbs of Tokyo, stealing military horses will be more destined to die.
It wasn't until noon, and it seemed that the business was not very good at noon, and there were no other customers here.
Lu Chengyong and the other two sat down at a wooden table at the door. They looked a little fierce and not as friendly as Guo Shao and his wife, and the shopkeepers didn't dare to talk to them.
Guo Shao looked around and found that there was no menu item, so it was difficult to say whether the store would write a menu item.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man said: Everyone is here, there are steamed dishes outside, and I often eat at home. I will tell you about it and I will most likely make it.
What is the store’s best signature dish?Guo Shao asked with a smile.
Hun Dun (wonton), soup cake.The man replied.
Guo Shao turned around and asked Fu Jinzhan: How about we eat Hun Dun?Fu Jinzhan nodded gently: OK.
Two bowls of chaos.Guo Shao shouted, he ignored Dong Er and the others, they knew that they were ordered to eat.At this time, three men in linen came and came in and ordered soup cakes.
Guo Shao bowed and whispered to Fu Jinzhan: Do you know Luo Mengzi?My sworn brother.
Fu Jinzhan looked at Guo Shao with a smile: I have heard of it.
Luo Mengzi's wife has a nickname.Guo Shao smiled and called him "Sheng Biao Xi Shi". He had sold soup cakes in Tokyo before.
After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan covered her mouth and started laughing.
Soon, the boy came up with two thick bowls and placed them on the table and said: Eat slowly.
Fu Jinzhan picked up the spoon and stirred it in it.But Guo Shao directly scooped it up and stuffed it into his mouth, saying: Well, it tastes pretty good, there are shrimps, and the filling is mutton.Just a little bit lighter.
The middle-aged man said: Salt is expensive, everyone eats lightly.
Seeing that Guo Shao was chewing with relish, Fu Jinzhan also scooped up one, put it next to his mouth, and took a bite.
The rosy and smooth lips were very beautiful, and the pearl powder on it was still shining. Guo Shao saw it and his appetite increased. He snored and snored.
Fu Jinzhan ran so far with Guo Shao, and maybe she was hungry. She was cautious at first, but later she even ate a lot.
After lunch, Fu Jinzhan took the initiative to say after going out: I want to go to the temple.
The sun was getting stronger and stronger, so Guo Shao went to the market with her and spent two cents to buy a hand-woven straw hat to cover her with the sun.
Fu Jinzhan was very happy, and she looked smiling when she put it on her head.
She looks inappropriate. Although she is wearing a very ordinary lapel robe, she has very fine silk cut, but she is wearing a straw hat on her head.
I think of a place.Guo Shao took her north and returned to Tokyo from the post road.
After entering the city, he did not go to the Daxiangguo Temple, which was most sought after by the nobles, but arrived at a Taoist temple with three words on it: Yuzhenguan.Fu Jinzhan glanced at it and said: This name is just Jing Niang’s Taoist temple?
It turns out that the "second sister" also knows it.Guo Shao was slightly surprised, Fu Jinzhan was still very well-informed.
The main hall of this Taoist temple... is a bit like a Buddhist temple, and the incense is very prosperous. The yard is full of incense ash. Taoist priests also sell incense and candles at high prices.
On the hot afternoon, there were still many pilgrims who were still kneeling and worshiping a statue of god.
All Taoist priests are women, and most of the pilgrims are older women.
Thank you Queen Mother, thank you God, Queen Mother can do everything... A chanting sound came from afar.Fu Jinzhan stared at all this with wide eyes.
Donor, you can ask for good fortune and get it to the Queen Mother for a wish, which is very effective.A female Taoist priest was standing beside her, holding the rituals, maintaining peace and fulfilling her marriage...
Fu Jinzhan said enthusiastically: Just give me one.
The female Taoist priest said: Ten words.
Guo Shao gave the money, Fu Jinzhan held the red triangle bag with red lines tied on it, and looked around.
She looked up at the statue of the god in the hall, and the surrounding cushions were full of people, and the pilgrims were very focused.
Someone is vaguely saying: Bless our whole family to be ordinary and have no illness or pain...
Fu Jinzhan couldn't find a place, so she had to stand there, hold Xiang Fu in her palm, and close her eyes and stand for a long time.On her beautiful face, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, and she prayed silently in devoutly.
Guo Shao saw the Yulian a few years ago, and the one he gave quietly was in the same Taoist temple.She is so pious.
Guo Shao was really moved. Fu Jinzhan saw a little lady standing up in front of the statue of Queen Mother, walking away. Fu Jinzhan quickly walked to the cushion and knelt down, holding Xiang Fu with her delicate jade hands and praying silently.
Guo Shao didn't want to know what Fu Jinzhan prayed to the Queen Mother. He waited until Fu Jinzhan finished praying and said to the female Taoist priest beside him: Madam is tired and needs a room to rest.
The female Taoist priest took Guo Shao to the guest room. Fu Jinzhang, who was following behind, looked red. She did not dare to look at the pilgrims beside her. She felt everyone occasionally cast strange eyes. She lowered her head and followed Guo Shao silently into the guest room.
After Guo Shao waited until the female Taoist priest left, he closed the door, turned around and picked Fu Jinzhan up, and walked towards the bed with Fu Jinzhan's coquettishness...
Guo Shao was not keen on those occasions. In the past, he went to local towns just for socializing; but now he doesn't need to give face to the subordinate officials, and can choose his own preferences.
A group of four rode away from Zaojiafang, and soon saw a town without a wall.From a distance, it looks like a tent set up by an army, a large area of simple houses.
