The ambassador for purchasing wine and vinegar noodles, it doesn't sound very good
This position itself is not very powerful, because the eunuchs in the inner court do not have a distinction between ranks, and it depends entirely on the position.
The Ambassador for purchasing wine and vinegar noodles is not considered a high position among the inner court positions
If we want to divide it based on the nine-rank system of civil servants
The main manager of the Dawen is a first-class official
The eunuch, the leader of the 12th Inner Court, is equivalent to the nobles of the Inner Court, from the first to the second inner court.
As for the ambassador for buying wine, vinegar noodles, he is a not very famous young official under the name of the eunuch in Shangshenjian.
In terms of seniority, it is equivalent to the size of an eighth-rank official in the inner court.
You think it's big?
Not big, just a job with big sesame and green beans
But this inconspicuous small position can attract countless eunuchs to be like
Even many eunuchs who are higher than this position, if they have the opportunity to be a wine and vinegar noodles purchasing ambassador, they would rather be demoted than to be
The reason is very simple. This position has good fortune and good fortune!
Gutian still remembers that Eunuch Li, who is in his sixties, comes to see Hai Dafu once a month and will give him a lot of filial piety.
And I am the little eunuch who is with Hai Dafu, and I am actually Hai Dafu's adopted son
So Eunuch Li always smiles and gives himself a red envelope
Six years ago, when Gutian was nine years old, he started receiving this red envelope.
At that time, he was considering whether this was good or not. Hai Dafu said: If you ask you to take it, you will take it. This is a common example in the inner court.
So Gutian collected it, the number of red envelopes per month was the same, fifty taels of silver notes
I am just a little eunuch by Hai Dafu, so Eunuch Li is willing to be filial to this way
It is conceivable that the ambassador of buying wine and vinegar noodles is a very good job.
Don’t watch Wei Xiaobao embezzle thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver every time he takes action. That’s because the one who gave him gifts later was a big Yuan, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that he was a local emperor.
In actual life, in the early years of Kangxi, a good paddy field in Jiangnan was only twenty taels of silver
An ordinary field only costs ten taels of silver
Fifty taels of silver are enough for ordinary farmers to work hard for more than ten or twenty years, and there will be no natural disasters and man-made disasters to survive.
Buying five acres of land in Jiangnan is already a luxury for ordinary farmers to live in a luxurious life
Every time Eunuch Li saw Gutian, he would give him two and a half acres of the best paddy fields!
There is no consumption in Gutian in the palace, so the money has been saved as my own private money. Six hundred taels a year, and six years is three thousand six hundred taels of silver.
Good, what kind of purchasing power is 3,600 taels of silver in the early years of Kangxi?
This money is enough for Gutian to buy hundreds of acres of fertile land in Jiangnan, and then build a big house. If you don’t have to work for the rest of your life, you will have no problem as an exploiting landlord. You will have no problem with your wealth.
After six years of sharing money, I was so amazing. You can imagine how much Eunuch Li, who is in charge of the buying ambassador of wine, vinegar and noodles, has made money over the years.
Although everyone in the upper and lower levels has to be divided, Gutian guessed that Eunuch Li had left at least 100,000 taels of silver?
It’s really a hundred thousand chunks of money, riding a crane to Yangzhou Ah!
Eunuch Li has made enough money. Before leaving, he originally wanted to recommend a eunuch who became his godson as his position.
For this reason, he also took three thousand taels of silver to clear Hai Dafu.
But Hai Dafu said: Old Li Ah, don’t think too much about the child’s affairs. Isn’t the little Li Zi on duty in the winery? Now the ambassador of the winery is also missing, so let him make up for it. As for the others, you see, Xiao Guizi, who follows me, is so adult, and is very idle in the palace all day long
If he doesn't find a safe job for him, he really doesn't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.
Come on, Hai Dafu has said this, what else does Eunuch Li not understand?
What is polishing the edges of children is nonsense
The ambassadors went out to buy wine and vinegar noodles. Which of the merchants who supply the inner court did not provide like grandpa.
What is the training of a child? I just let Xiao Guizi go and earn gold ingots while lying down.
Eunuch Li has nothing to say about this. Eunuch Li entered the palace earlier than Hai.
I took care of Hai Dafu a lot in my early years
After Hai Dafu became famous, he also mentioned him, and even made him a wine and vinegar noodles purchasing ambassador six years ago
This is probably six years old!
Even if Eunuch Li had some favors to Hai Dafu, Hai Dafu was over.
Eunuch Li also knows this
That three thousand taels of silver would not be able to come back
It's okay to let Li Zi be an ambassador of the winery, it's much better than being a winery manager.
These three thousand taels are not in vain
As the chief manager of Shangshenjian, Hai Dafu has great power over the hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids under his command.
And this right also extends to merchants outside the Forbidden City
For example, Gutian can feel it when he goes out as a wine and vinegar noodles purchasing ambassador
What is a wine and vinegar noodles purchasing ambassador?
You can probably know the title of this position
This is a position that specializes in food purchasing in the Neijing
In the Forbidden City, there are more than 10,000 people in the palace maids, eunuchs, masters, and imperial guards.
Every day people eat horses and chew a considerable expense
The various grains, vegetables, fruits, meat, etc. consumed by more than 10,000 people every day can get tens of thousands of kilograms a day
Especially the Imperial Guards and the Great Inspectors are both big-bellied men, and they can eat several kilograms of food a day by one person.
This Forbidden City has its own grain warehouse, just outside Beichizi Street
This is also subject to Shangshen supervision. When food is needed, it will be transported from there.
However, this grain warehouse is used to store rice, and other things are not stored.
Because how do you store vegetables?
There is no refrigerator, it will break down after a day or two
There is also meat, and it cannot be overnight
There is also flour, this kind of grain does not require rice, and flour is most likely to get damp and deteriorate.
In addition, the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar needed by the Neijing every day, and the purchase of a batch of new wine every month to supply the expenses in the Neijing.
If you do it, how much does it cost to supply all kinds of main and non-staple foods, wine and so on for more than 10,000 people a month?
It can’t be beaten for 50,000 taels!
In a era of low productivity, food expenses are the most important expenses in almost all households
The same is true for the Emperor's family
The ambassador of the wine and vinegar noodles does this job, selecting the right one from all the vendors in the capital and choosing it as the royal merchant, responsible for supplying various foods consumed every day like water in the Da'ani.
In the early years of Kangxi, the inner court was not as good as the last decades of the late Qing Dynasty. The various departments and government offices were crazily slapping white strips.
In this era, the inner court still cooperated with various shops by checking out on March 1.
And no arrears happened
Of course, the shop must give enough benefits to the wine, vinegar noodles purchase ambassador responsible for this matter, otherwise they will turn their heads and go to another house
Gutian's ex-Eunuch Li is not a brave person. He dare not greed for money directly from the expenses of the inner court. He dare not let the merchant make the difference by making inferior products as good ones.
Because these are all things that require a loss of mind
When the Qing Dynasty was founded, the administration was still clear and clear.
Unlike in the middle of Qianlong period, a wine and vinegar noodles purchasing ambassador could accumulate a million taels of silver in just ten years. It was really terrible.
Most of the ways for Eunuch Li to make money come from filial piety from merchants
After all, the purchase of the inner court is a large-scale transaction
And if you do well, there will be endless streams. Many businesses are willing to give up some of the profits to honor the eunuchs in the inner court.
Gutian just took over the position of Eunuch Li, so it was Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and he also loved money.
But I didn't love Wei Xiaobao as outrageous as
I can't walk when I see the money
And in fact, the merchants have a lot of filial piety.
……
Gutian took an errand to leave the palace this time. Now he has a waist-to-brand purchase of the ambassador's wine and vinegar noodles. He can leave the palace through a small door that specializes in entering and leaving the food and wine.
And there is no limit, just come back before the daily lockdown
Gutian knew that Eunuch Li had just lived outside for the past three or four years.
Only ten days a month to live in the palace
Because the houses in the palace are limited, the level of buying ambassadors for wine and vinegar noodles is not high, and they can't even be divided into an independent yard.
There can only be one independent room
And in Beijing, what kind of money can’t be bought at home if Eunuch Li has?
Why bother to feel wronged yourself?
If you still need to be on duty, I am afraid that Eunuch Li will go back to his big house in Beijing every night to sleep.
The streets of Beijing are not as lively as Gutian imagined
After leaving the Forbidden City, Qianmen Street, Daqianmen, is the most lively place in Beijing.
Gather all the exquisite shops in Beijing
Inline-lifted cloth shoes, Hailong's hat, fur shop sent by Beat Wula
There are also many restaurants that talk about pomp here.
Such as Taibai Tower, Eight Immortals Drunkenness, etc.
Qianmen Street is the most lively place in Beijing. Qianmen Street goes east to Dashilan and Hufang Bridge
Compared with the grandeur and prosperity of Qianmen Street, it is much more deserted here.
Qianmen Street faces mainly noble officials and wealthy businessmen in Sijiu City
Dashilan faces most middle and lower Beijing residents.
The first stop to Gutian is Liu Lingzui from the Liangshi Hutong, who just happened to be plugged into Dashilan.
Although Gutian had never left the palace gate, he did not take him away.
Because Gutian in his previous life lived in Beijing
In fact, the inner city of Beijing has not changed much until later generations.
The imperial city has a square structure. As long as you can tell the difference between the east, west, south and north, you won’t get lost in this city at all.
In addition, many place names have not changed even after hundreds of years.
So Gutian chose to travel for the first time he left the palace
He is now the ambassador for buying wine and vinegar noodles. He can bring four servants or eunuchs to buy when he goes out according to the rules.
But Gutian understood that if he had set up such a big scene after going out, then Beijing would not be able to visit
I'm afraid that ordinary people will hide aside when they see themselves
Previously, Eunuch Li would hire a sedan chair every time he left the palace.
But Gutian is not as old as Eunuch Li, and his body is not as expensive as that
After leaving the palace, Gutian was wearing a short-dressed outfit, and Beijing was already very hot in June.
It's not a pleasure to wear a long gown at this time.
Along the way, I saw the prosperity of Qianmen Street. Although it was not as busy as the later generations, it also had a unique flavor.
People who come and go are all dressed in decent clothes. Silk and cotton clothes may not be designed as luxurious, but they are also decent.
Walking in the middle, listening to the Beijing-sounding hawking of merchants on both sides, I really feel happy
But after moving to Dashilan, Gutian had lost his good mood because he left the palace and visited the capital.
The reason is that the big fence is broken
Dashilan is not as good as Dashilan, which became a commercial street hundreds of years later
Although there are many shops in Dashilan now, most of them have small doors.
All sold are daily necessities, such as bamboo furniture, pottery crock pots, and some small grain shops.
Erhushu's restaurant is a very particular restaurant here
(Note: Erhu Shop is a shop selling pork and mutton in ancient times. Most restaurants did not always have pork and mutton meat dishes.) Compared with the decent people coming and going on Qianmen Street, the civilians who make a living in Dashilan seem more humble.
It's already good if there are no patches on the clothes. Most people have several patches on their clothes.
It is already the norm for residents here to have dishes
A few half-year-old boys guarded the door of Erhunpu restaurant. As soon as they saw guests entering and leaving, they immediately knelt in front of them.
Nothing said, just kowtowed hard
The forehead was almost bleeding. If you encounter a kind-hearted person, you might be able to give two copper coins, or share the food you hadn't finished eating and packed to these little guys.
If you encounter someone who is not kind, you will get bleeding and you are too lazy to pay attention to you
Boss, come half a pound of stick noodles, half a pound of millet noodles, three ounces of white noodles. Gutian walked on the street in Dashilan and heard the sound of an old woman coming from the shop next door.
Then there was the voice of a middle-aged man, which sounded like the owner of the store: Why did Aunt An buy so much food today? She also bought white flour, which is not cheap
Hi my little boy came back from the south today. When I got home, I was clamoring to eat dumplings, so I went to cut two taels of meat and chose a cabbage to make him cabbage pork dumplings tonight. Aunt An's voice revealed a sense of joy.
The owner of the grain store said: Then your family will celebrate the New Year!
Gutian listened to the conversation between the grain shop owner and Aunt An, and he noticed that a person passing by in front of him also heard the conversation between the two.
And he tried hard to swallow
It seems that just because I heard the conversation between the two, I thought of the deliciousness of dumplings.
Looking at the messy surroundings and seemingly dirty and worn-out fences, there are also residents coming and going
In fact, these talents are the most common people in Beijing.
Most of the coarse grains mixed with a little fine grain and then made into dumplings are amazing food for most people.
Even if you can eat it during the Chinese New Year
Gutian suddenly thought of the saying that he had heard: Kangxi, Kangxi, eat bran and drink thin
In fact, how many of the Kanggan prosperous times were fabricated by shameless literati whitewashing the peace?
Gutian is unknown because he can't do anything about it.
I am just an ordinary eunuch now. Although I am a little favored, I can't turn these things around.
Perhaps the poverty of this country will last for hundreds of years?
Even in later generations, there may not be much improvement, and they are still suppressed by other powerful countries in the world.
But thinking of this, Gutian smiled: Why do I still want to do so far in a small character like me? Now I can’t care about my life for a hundred years, so I should take care of myself first and live happily. If I become a world-class person like Wei Xiaobao in the future, then I can buy some porridge shops myself
Just starve to death when young people are young, and don’t want to become a great charity who has been famous throughout the ages, but at least you have to be worthy of your conscience. Gutian thought of this and thought of it.
Not much can be done by myself
The ancients said: If you are prosperous, you will benefit the world; if you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself.
Gutian is not the kind of good person who does charity by losing his family, nor is it the kind of bad person who sees someone on the roadside starving to death and is unwilling to extend his hand to help.
The most important thing for a person is to be worthy of his true heart
Gutian does not deny his lustfulness, especially in this special world, which makes his lustfulness mentality even more amplified.
But this did not affect Gutian's other thoughts in his heart
If Gutian wants to make an evaluation of himself, he will definitely say: I am a lewd and good person
That's basically it
It was all the way to Gutian and the Grain Hutong. After meeting Boss Zhang, I
He just put away his kindness of compassion just now.
Say a thousand and tell ten thousand, that kind of emotion is useless
Unless one day I can become the priest of the current dynasty, I will think about it all by myself
It is more important to do what you have to do first
The use of wine in the palace is a considerable consumption. In addition to the tribute wine offered in various places, it also requires a large amount of ordinary good wine and ordinary water wine.
Most of these come from private procurement
Liu Ling Zuijiu Building has contracted all the expenses in the palace for 20 years.
Gutian followed Hai Dafu but knew that just drinking has always been the case, Liu Ling Zui's house can get 50,000 taels of silver from the palace every year.
It's really a big deal!
Drinks have always been expensive trading items. If you leave it alone, Liu Lingzui can earn at least 20,000 taels of silver every year. The net profit this year is enough for the restaurant boss Zhang to buy 1,000 acres of good paddy fields in Jiangnan.
At the same time, because the income in this palace accounts for most of Liu Ling’s Zuiju House, Boss Zhang is extremely concerned about Gutian’s arrival
Because Eunuch Li had already greeted Boss Zhang before, a new eunuch would take over his position
Boss Zhang has been ready
After Gutian revealed his identity and purpose, Boss Zhang respectfully invited Gutian to the inner room for a talk
And he sent two red envelopes respectfully
One is a common silver, the other is a congratulations to Gutian as the ambassador of wine and vinegar noodles
Boss Zhang is really a good person
Gutian was disrespectful to this, and then it was almost noon. Boss Zhang invited Gutian to have lunch while walking.
Gutian didn't refuse, because he was really hungry
Boss Zhang arranged a good location for Gutian on the second floor of the hotel, and served him with four bowls and eight plates.
Looking at the table full of more than a dozen dishes, Gutian couldn't help but shake his head and smiled.
I used to sigh on the street that people's livelihood is not easy
But when I turned around, I was actually the biggest exploiting class in this society, and I was really a bit hypocritical
Forget it, I can't think about it so much, I'd better fill my stomach first
Gutian didn't think so much, but instead threw away his stomach and started eating lunch
Liu Lingzui's chef is not as good as the imperial kitchen, but he still has specialty dishes.
His stew is very good, Gutian likes to eat it very much
When I was half full in Gutian, a noise suddenly came from the first floor.
Gutian looked at the lobby on the first floor with curious eyes from the patio on the second floor.
Only a group of wrestlers in Buku uniforms were fighting with them
There are only two types of people wearing orthodox Buku uniforms on the streets of the capital. One is a wrestler who is a captive in a noble family.
The other is from Shanpu Camp in Beijing
The two people who fought with the wrestler were one big and one small
One is a man with a seven-foot-foot man with a beard like steel
There is also someone who looks relatively thin and about fourteen years old, hiding around the crowd.
While drinking low-alcohol rice wine, Gutian looked at the battlefield downstairs and shook his head.
Gutian is now a good player in the world
Although the group of people downstairs beat him up, they were not as good as his eyes.
He originally planned to wait until the two gangs were tired of fighting before taking action.
But just as he was planning so, a scream downstairs forced him to take action
I heard a wrestler shouting: What a thief! I recognize you, you are Mao Shiba, a thief who has taken the sea captain document from Jiangnan!
When Gutian heard this, he was shocked. If that big man was Mao Shiba, then who else could the little man who followed Mao Shiba?
It must be Wei Xiaobao Ah, the son of the plane of this world!
Ah, who will kill Xiao Guizi and Hai Dafu in the future!
Gutian felt that he could not wait, otherwise something would happen
This position itself is not very powerful, because the eunuchs in the inner court do not have a distinction between ranks, and it depends entirely on the position.
The Ambassador for purchasing wine and vinegar noodles is not considered a high position among the inner court positions
If we want to divide it based on the nine-rank system of civil servants
The main manager of the Dawen is a first-class official
The eunuch, the leader of the 12th Inner Court, is equivalent to the nobles of the Inner Court, from the first to the second inner court.
As for the ambassador for buying wine, vinegar noodles, he is a not very famous young official under the name of the eunuch in Shangshenjian.
In terms of seniority, it is equivalent to the size of an eighth-rank official in the inner court.
You think it's big?
Not big, just a job with big sesame and green beans
But this inconspicuous small position can attract countless eunuchs to be like
Even many eunuchs who are higher than this position, if they have the opportunity to be a wine and vinegar noodles purchasing ambassador, they would rather be demoted than to be
The reason is very simple. This position has good fortune and good fortune!
Gutian still remembers that Eunuch Li, who is in his sixties, comes to see Hai Dafu once a month and will give him a lot of filial piety.
And I am the little eunuch who is with Hai Dafu, and I am actually Hai Dafu's adopted son
So Eunuch Li always smiles and gives himself a red envelope
Six years ago, when Gutian was nine years old, he started receiving this red envelope.
At that time, he was considering whether this was good or not. Hai Dafu said: If you ask you to take it, you will take it. This is a common example in the inner court.
So Gutian collected it, the number of red envelopes per month was the same, fifty taels of silver notes
I am just a little eunuch by Hai Dafu, so Eunuch Li is willing to be filial to this way
It is conceivable that the ambassador of buying wine and vinegar noodles is a very good job.
Don’t watch Wei Xiaobao embezzle thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver every time he takes action. That’s because the one who gave him gifts later was a big Yuan, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that he was a local emperor.
In actual life, in the early years of Kangxi, a good paddy field in Jiangnan was only twenty taels of silver
An ordinary field only costs ten taels of silver
Fifty taels of silver are enough for ordinary farmers to work hard for more than ten or twenty years, and there will be no natural disasters and man-made disasters to survive.
Buying five acres of land in Jiangnan is already a luxury for ordinary farmers to live in a luxurious life
Every time Eunuch Li saw Gutian, he would give him two and a half acres of the best paddy fields!
There is no consumption in Gutian in the palace, so the money has been saved as my own private money. Six hundred taels a year, and six years is three thousand six hundred taels of silver.
Good, what kind of purchasing power is 3,600 taels of silver in the early years of Kangxi?
This money is enough for Gutian to buy hundreds of acres of fertile land in Jiangnan, and then build a big house. If you don’t have to work for the rest of your life, you will have no problem as an exploiting landlord. You will have no problem with your wealth.
After six years of sharing money, I was so amazing. You can imagine how much Eunuch Li, who is in charge of the buying ambassador of wine, vinegar and noodles, has made money over the years.
Although everyone in the upper and lower levels has to be divided, Gutian guessed that Eunuch Li had left at least 100,000 taels of silver?
It’s really a hundred thousand chunks of money, riding a crane to Yangzhou Ah!
Eunuch Li has made enough money. Before leaving, he originally wanted to recommend a eunuch who became his godson as his position.
For this reason, he also took three thousand taels of silver to clear Hai Dafu.
But Hai Dafu said: Old Li Ah, don’t think too much about the child’s affairs. Isn’t the little Li Zi on duty in the winery? Now the ambassador of the winery is also missing, so let him make up for it. As for the others, you see, Xiao Guizi, who follows me, is so adult, and is very idle in the palace all day long
If he doesn't find a safe job for him, he really doesn't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.
Come on, Hai Dafu has said this, what else does Eunuch Li not understand?
What is polishing the edges of children is nonsense
The ambassadors went out to buy wine and vinegar noodles. Which of the merchants who supply the inner court did not provide like grandpa.
What is the training of a child? I just let Xiao Guizi go and earn gold ingots while lying down.
Eunuch Li has nothing to say about this. Eunuch Li entered the palace earlier than Hai.
I took care of Hai Dafu a lot in my early years
After Hai Dafu became famous, he also mentioned him, and even made him a wine and vinegar noodles purchasing ambassador six years ago
This is probably six years old!
Even if Eunuch Li had some favors to Hai Dafu, Hai Dafu was over.
Eunuch Li also knows this
That three thousand taels of silver would not be able to come back
It's okay to let Li Zi be an ambassador of the winery, it's much better than being a winery manager.
These three thousand taels are not in vain
As the chief manager of Shangshenjian, Hai Dafu has great power over the hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids under his command.
And this right also extends to merchants outside the Forbidden City
For example, Gutian can feel it when he goes out as a wine and vinegar noodles purchasing ambassador
What is a wine and vinegar noodles purchasing ambassador?
You can probably know the title of this position
This is a position that specializes in food purchasing in the Neijing
In the Forbidden City, there are more than 10,000 people in the palace maids, eunuchs, masters, and imperial guards.
Every day people eat horses and chew a considerable expense
The various grains, vegetables, fruits, meat, etc. consumed by more than 10,000 people every day can get tens of thousands of kilograms a day
Especially the Imperial Guards and the Great Inspectors are both big-bellied men, and they can eat several kilograms of food a day by one person.
This Forbidden City has its own grain warehouse, just outside Beichizi Street
This is also subject to Shangshen supervision. When food is needed, it will be transported from there.
However, this grain warehouse is used to store rice, and other things are not stored.
Because how do you store vegetables?
There is no refrigerator, it will break down after a day or two
There is also meat, and it cannot be overnight
There is also flour, this kind of grain does not require rice, and flour is most likely to get damp and deteriorate.
In addition, the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar needed by the Neijing every day, and the purchase of a batch of new wine every month to supply the expenses in the Neijing.
If you do it, how much does it cost to supply all kinds of main and non-staple foods, wine and so on for more than 10,000 people a month?
It can’t be beaten for 50,000 taels!
In a era of low productivity, food expenses are the most important expenses in almost all households
The same is true for the Emperor's family
The ambassador of the wine and vinegar noodles does this job, selecting the right one from all the vendors in the capital and choosing it as the royal merchant, responsible for supplying various foods consumed every day like water in the Da'ani.
In the early years of Kangxi, the inner court was not as good as the last decades of the late Qing Dynasty. The various departments and government offices were crazily slapping white strips.
In this era, the inner court still cooperated with various shops by checking out on March 1.
And no arrears happened
Of course, the shop must give enough benefits to the wine, vinegar noodles purchase ambassador responsible for this matter, otherwise they will turn their heads and go to another house
Gutian's ex-Eunuch Li is not a brave person. He dare not greed for money directly from the expenses of the inner court. He dare not let the merchant make the difference by making inferior products as good ones.
Because these are all things that require a loss of mind
When the Qing Dynasty was founded, the administration was still clear and clear.
Unlike in the middle of Qianlong period, a wine and vinegar noodles purchasing ambassador could accumulate a million taels of silver in just ten years. It was really terrible.
Most of the ways for Eunuch Li to make money come from filial piety from merchants
After all, the purchase of the inner court is a large-scale transaction
And if you do well, there will be endless streams. Many businesses are willing to give up some of the profits to honor the eunuchs in the inner court.
Gutian just took over the position of Eunuch Li, so it was Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and he also loved money.
But I didn't love Wei Xiaobao as outrageous as
I can't walk when I see the money
And in fact, the merchants have a lot of filial piety.
……
Gutian took an errand to leave the palace this time. Now he has a waist-to-brand purchase of the ambassador's wine and vinegar noodles. He can leave the palace through a small door that specializes in entering and leaving the food and wine.
And there is no limit, just come back before the daily lockdown
Gutian knew that Eunuch Li had just lived outside for the past three or four years.
Only ten days a month to live in the palace
Because the houses in the palace are limited, the level of buying ambassadors for wine and vinegar noodles is not high, and they can't even be divided into an independent yard.
There can only be one independent room
And in Beijing, what kind of money can’t be bought at home if Eunuch Li has?
Why bother to feel wronged yourself?
If you still need to be on duty, I am afraid that Eunuch Li will go back to his big house in Beijing every night to sleep.
The streets of Beijing are not as lively as Gutian imagined
After leaving the Forbidden City, Qianmen Street, Daqianmen, is the most lively place in Beijing.
Gather all the exquisite shops in Beijing
Inline-lifted cloth shoes, Hailong's hat, fur shop sent by Beat Wula
There are also many restaurants that talk about pomp here.
Such as Taibai Tower, Eight Immortals Drunkenness, etc.
Qianmen Street is the most lively place in Beijing. Qianmen Street goes east to Dashilan and Hufang Bridge
Compared with the grandeur and prosperity of Qianmen Street, it is much more deserted here.
Qianmen Street faces mainly noble officials and wealthy businessmen in Sijiu City
Dashilan faces most middle and lower Beijing residents.
The first stop to Gutian is Liu Lingzui from the Liangshi Hutong, who just happened to be plugged into Dashilan.
Although Gutian had never left the palace gate, he did not take him away.
Because Gutian in his previous life lived in Beijing
In fact, the inner city of Beijing has not changed much until later generations.
The imperial city has a square structure. As long as you can tell the difference between the east, west, south and north, you won’t get lost in this city at all.
In addition, many place names have not changed even after hundreds of years.
So Gutian chose to travel for the first time he left the palace
He is now the ambassador for buying wine and vinegar noodles. He can bring four servants or eunuchs to buy when he goes out according to the rules.
But Gutian understood that if he had set up such a big scene after going out, then Beijing would not be able to visit
I'm afraid that ordinary people will hide aside when they see themselves
Previously, Eunuch Li would hire a sedan chair every time he left the palace.

People who come and go are all dressed in decent clothes. Silk and cotton clothes may not be designed as luxurious, but they are also decent.
Walking in the middle, listening to the Beijing-sounding hawking of merchants on both sides, I really feel happy
But after moving to Dashilan, Gutian had lost his good mood because he left the palace and visited the capital.
The reason is that the big fence is broken
Dashilan is not as good as Dashilan, which became a commercial street hundreds of years later
Although there are many shops in Dashilan now, most of them have small doors.
All sold are daily necessities, such as bamboo furniture, pottery crock pots, and some small grain shops.
Erhushu's restaurant is a very particular restaurant here
(Note: Erhu Shop is a shop selling pork and mutton in ancient times. Most restaurants did not always have pork and mutton meat dishes.) Compared with the decent people coming and going on Qianmen Street, the civilians who make a living in Dashilan seem more humble.
It's already good if there are no patches on the clothes. Most people have several patches on their clothes.
It is already the norm for residents here to have dishes
A few half-year-old boys guarded the door of Erhunpu restaurant. As soon as they saw guests entering and leaving, they immediately knelt in front of them.
Nothing said, just kowtowed hard
The forehead was almost bleeding. If you encounter a kind-hearted person, you might be able to give two copper coins, or share the food you hadn't finished eating and packed to these little guys.
If you encounter someone who is not kind, you will get bleeding and you are too lazy to pay attention to you
Boss, come half a pound of stick noodles, half a pound of millet noodles, three ounces of white noodles. Gutian walked on the street in Dashilan and heard the sound of an old woman coming from the shop next door.
Then there was the voice of a middle-aged man, which sounded like the owner of the store: Why did Aunt An buy so much food today? She also bought white flour, which is not cheap
Hi my little boy came back from the south today. When I got home, I was clamoring to eat dumplings, so I went to cut two taels of meat and chose a cabbage to make him cabbage pork dumplings tonight. Aunt An's voice revealed a sense of joy.
The owner of the grain store said: Then your family will celebrate the New Year!
Gutian listened to the conversation between the grain shop owner and Aunt An, and he noticed that a person passing by in front of him also heard the conversation between the two.
And he tried hard to swallow
It seems that just because I heard the conversation between the two, I thought of the deliciousness of dumplings.
Looking at the messy surroundings and seemingly dirty and worn-out fences, there are also residents coming and going
In fact, these talents are the most common people in Beijing.
Most of the coarse grains mixed with a little fine grain and then made into dumplings are amazing food for most people.
Even if you can eat it during the Chinese New Year
Gutian suddenly thought of the saying that he had heard: Kangxi, Kangxi, eat bran and drink thin
In fact, how many of the Kanggan prosperous times were fabricated by shameless literati whitewashing the peace?
Gutian is unknown because he can't do anything about it.
I am just an ordinary eunuch now. Although I am a little favored, I can't turn these things around.
Perhaps the poverty of this country will last for hundreds of years?
Even in later generations, there may not be much improvement, and they are still suppressed by other powerful countries in the world.
But thinking of this, Gutian smiled: Why do I still want to do so far in a small character like me? Now I can’t care about my life for a hundred years, so I should take care of myself first and live happily. If I become a world-class person like Wei Xiaobao in the future, then I can buy some porridge shops myself
Just starve to death when young people are young, and don’t want to become a great charity who has been famous throughout the ages, but at least you have to be worthy of your conscience. Gutian thought of this and thought of it.
Not much can be done by myself
The ancients said: If you are prosperous, you will benefit the world; if you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself.
Gutian is not the kind of good person who does charity by losing his family, nor is it the kind of bad person who sees someone on the roadside starving to death and is unwilling to extend his hand to help.
The most important thing for a person is to be worthy of his true heart
Gutian does not deny his lustfulness, especially in this special world, which makes his lustfulness mentality even more amplified.
But this did not affect Gutian's other thoughts in his heart
If Gutian wants to make an evaluation of himself, he will definitely say: I am a lewd and good person
That's basically it
It was all the way to Gutian and the Grain Hutong. After meeting Boss Zhang, I
He just put away his kindness of compassion just now.
Say a thousand and tell ten thousand, that kind of emotion is useless
Unless one day I can become the priest of the current dynasty, I will think about it all by myself
It is more important to do what you have to do first
The use of wine in the palace is a considerable consumption. In addition to the tribute wine offered in various places, it also requires a large amount of ordinary good wine and ordinary water wine.
Most of these come from private procurement
Liu Ling Zuijiu Building has contracted all the expenses in the palace for 20 years.
Gutian followed Hai Dafu but knew that just drinking has always been the case, Liu Ling Zui's house can get 50,000 taels of silver from the palace every year.
It's really a big deal!
Drinks have always been expensive trading items. If you leave it alone, Liu Lingzui can earn at least 20,000 taels of silver every year. The net profit this year is enough for the restaurant boss Zhang to buy 1,000 acres of good paddy fields in Jiangnan.
At the same time, because the income in this palace accounts for most of Liu Ling’s Zuiju House, Boss Zhang is extremely concerned about Gutian’s arrival
Because Eunuch Li had already greeted Boss Zhang before, a new eunuch would take over his position
Boss Zhang has been ready
After Gutian revealed his identity and purpose, Boss Zhang respectfully invited Gutian to the inner room for a talk
And he sent two red envelopes respectfully
One is a common silver, the other is a congratulations to Gutian as the ambassador of wine and vinegar noodles
Boss Zhang is really a good person
Gutian was disrespectful to this, and then it was almost noon. Boss Zhang invited Gutian to have lunch while walking.
Gutian didn't refuse, because he was really hungry
Boss Zhang arranged a good location for Gutian on the second floor of the hotel, and served him with four bowls and eight plates.
Looking at the table full of more than a dozen dishes, Gutian couldn't help but shake his head and smiled.
I used to sigh on the street that people's livelihood is not easy
But when I turned around, I was actually the biggest exploiting class in this society, and I was really a bit hypocritical
Forget it, I can't think about it so much, I'd better fill my stomach first
Gutian didn't think so much, but instead threw away his stomach and started eating lunch
Liu Lingzui's chef is not as good as the imperial kitchen, but he still has specialty dishes.
His stew is very good, Gutian likes to eat it very much
When I was half full in Gutian, a noise suddenly came from the first floor.
Gutian looked at the lobby on the first floor with curious eyes from the patio on the second floor.
Only a group of wrestlers in Buku uniforms were fighting with them
There are only two types of people wearing orthodox Buku uniforms on the streets of the capital. One is a wrestler who is a captive in a noble family.
The other is from Shanpu Camp in Beijing
The two people who fought with the wrestler were one big and one small
One is a man with a seven-foot-foot man with a beard like steel
There is also someone who looks relatively thin and about fourteen years old, hiding around the crowd.
While drinking low-alcohol rice wine, Gutian looked at the battlefield downstairs and shook his head.
Gutian is now a good player in the world
Although the group of people downstairs beat him up, they were not as good as his eyes.
He originally planned to wait until the two gangs were tired of fighting before taking action.
But just as he was planning so, a scream downstairs forced him to take action
I heard a wrestler shouting: What a thief! I recognize you, you are Mao Shiba, a thief who has taken the sea captain document from Jiangnan!
When Gutian heard this, he was shocked. If that big man was Mao Shiba, then who else could the little man who followed Mao Shiba?
It must be Wei Xiaobao Ah, the son of the plane of this world!
Ah, who will kill Xiao Guizi and Hai Dafu in the future!
Gutian felt that he could not wait, otherwise something would happen
