"Big vat?"
"We're eating. Let's talk after eating."
"Oh! Well, let's eat. "
"See, in a few days, I'm sure someone will buy a bicycle to ride."
"There are many rich people in Chang 'an after all. The money we earn in our lifetime is not enough to buy a bicycle. Others will buy one and ride it for fun."
"Why can't we buy one in our lifetime? Li Dongzhu has been thinking of ways to make us earn money. Maybe one day, I'll be rich too."
"You eat a bowl of wonton and you have to take a spoonful of sauce. How can you be rich? Don't you think it's salty? "
"It's heavy. Unfortunately, it's vegetable sauce. I'm not allowed to take egg sauce or meat sauce."
"It's free now. Why don't you eat with all your might?"
The people were not idle while eating. They were arguing and bragging.
Now, it was indeed free in the capital government. As long as you set up a stall, you would be allowed to eat as much as you want. Salt was even cheaper.
Last year, the salt merchants in Shu sent a large batch of salt over, plus Li Longji's salt.
Now, 500 grams of salt was five coins. It was not rice, so the people bought a lot of salt to make pickles.
Now, every family had a lot of salt. When the vegetables were collected in autumn, they began to make pickles and pickles.
There were also fresh fish that they bought. They quickly cleaned it up, smeared it with salt, and hung it up to dry.
Flies would sting it, and it would be processed when eating.
If you ate too much pickles, you would still eat salt. Pickles were different. Pickles were not salty.
In the past, there were few people who made pickles because they lacked utensils.
As life became better, they bought big vats to make.
The big vats they talked about when eating were not the ones bought by the imperial court.
They were used as toilets. One after another, each square had dug out the original manure pits and installed big vats.
In order to avoid soil pollution, some people even jumped down to scrape the soil from the manure pits. They scraped it down and carried it away, filling it with new soil for free.
After these people collected the soil that had been soaked in dirty things and fermented it a little, it became good soil.
After soaking the saline-alkali soil with water, it was covered with half a foot of soil. The low-grade field directly became a high-grade field.
It was better than the desilted field. Crops grew crazily after planting.
In the East Market, a group of people strolled.
Li Longji came out, and Empress Wang pushed the stroller. The little guy wanted to come out and walk by himself several times, but he was pushed back by Empress Wang.
Other children liked to be carried. They didn't want to sit in the car and insisted on being carried by adults.
That was not the case for the little guy. As long as he had the chance, he would run away on his own.
Li Longji came over to take a look at his daughter's shop. It was now called Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion. Princess Yongmu had changed the name and brought Xiao Lan along.
Xiao Lan was a maidservant that she had played with since she was a child. There were quite a few maidservants who played with her. Later on, she was gradually sent away because of her bad intentions.
The so-called heart meant that when she was in danger, she would instinctively block in front of her, and Xiaolan did it.
Guo Ziyi followed beside him. He was wearing a windbreaker. The windbreaker was open, revealing the gun hanging in front of his chest.
He switched to a new gun that Li Yi had given him. It was an assault rifle, not a sniper rifle. He also carried the sniper rifle on his shoulder.
The difference between the two guns was that one was a long-range weapon while the other was a burst weapon.
He didn't need a pistol. He had a three-edged flying knife on his waist. It was faster than a pistol within 20 meters.
He put both hands on the assault rifle. One of his hands was on the safety, while the other hand's index finger was stretched out beside the trigger.
The sniper rifle on his shoulder was loaded and the safety was off. When necessary, he shrugged his shoulder and pulled the trigger while releasing the safety. It was like an instant sniper.
"I wonder if Tubo and Tujue have such prosperity?" Li Longji looked at the lively scene and was a little proud.
"I think the people there can't casually go out to buy food." Empress Wang was also willing to belittle the foreigners.
Tujue was a mess. Tubo had a slave system.
There were also slaves in the Tang dynasty. Slaves were a minority. Most of them were ordinary people.
Last year, there were no more people who went to Chang 'an to sell themselves as slaves.
Those who couldn't survive in other places avoided the checkpoints and entered the capital government. They wanted to sell themselves, but they suddenly found that they didn't need to. There was work to do.
Those who wanted to sell their children could go to Sorrowful Field Square to find food first. Then, they would find work waiting for them. There was no shortage of people, but there was no shortage of work.
If they still wanted to sell their daughters, Pyong Kang Square would look at them first. They would look at their faces, listen to their voices, and the appearance and figure of their parents.
If they were lucky, some organization in Pyong Kang Square would buy them.
If Pyong Kang Square didn't buy them, other people would look at them.
Under normal circumstances, as long as there was a way to make a living, no one would be willing to sell themselves and their children.
As for selling their wives, sorry, they couldn't sell their wives unless they were bought concubines or maids, which were transferable.
Li Longji and Empress Wang didn't have the concept of equality for the common people, but they wanted to see the lively scene of the common people in the Tang dynasty.
After walking through a road with food and drink stalls, they saw the shops in the East Market.
Compared to the noisy and messy smells in other places, this place was much more orderly.
Most of the shops were two-story. Most of them were one-story shops.
The four-story shop in front was the most conspicuous. The group walked over.
Next to the four-story building, the house had been demolished. The foundation was being laid and it was going to be rebuilt.
The people next to them thought, "You built four stories and no one cares. The yamen didn't say anything. I'll follow you and build three stories."
Some of them went to Wannian County's yamen to report that there were four stories and each story was so high. The first story was almost twice the height of others.
Wannian County's yamen's answer was, "After investigation, this shop belongs to a new category of goods. It's a symbolic business project and the embodiment of the architectural beauty."
It meant that there was no problem. When other people saw it, there was no problem, right? I also marked it once.
The key was that the person who repaired the new building told everyone that they could repair it. Since that was the case, why not?
When the renovation was almost done, everyone finally understood. The background …
Every story was made of glass. The big glass on the first floor was thick, big, and bright.
Who was behind it? If you don't know, don't ask. If you ask, you don't know.
Build, they said to build.
"It's all big glass. Uncle put a lot of effort into it."
Empress Wang was a little jealous. She didn't even have such big glass in her palace.
"I'll ask him for more later." Li Longji liked floor-to-ceiling windows and revolving glass doors.
He could guess that this glass was different from the commonly used glass. There was something added to it.
This meant that Li Yi had better technology and had not released it.
Empress Wang nodded. "An ordinary family can match the princess's status with this building."
"Dream on. You want to marry a princess with a broken house? Even a thousand houses are not enough. This thing isn't worth much. Didn't he make float glass? "
Li Longji admitted that the buildings were beautiful, but Li Yi didn't pay much.
A thousand beautiful buildings could be exchanged for Li Yi's hospital?
People who had never been to that hospital would never know that some things in the world couldn't be measured by money.
"The buildings are taller, and you can see further. It's dangerous to walk beside them."
Guo Ziyi held the assault rifle and looked around with the scope.
He didn't like to walk near tall buildings. He didn't even like to walk beside buildings.
"Allow the shops facing the street to open windows." Li Longji was a little nervous. Then, he said his decision.
