A day in the imperial city was busy and fulfilling. After a long day of busy work, the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty were going to have a meal to replenish the energy lost in their bodies.
As Shangshu Zuopushe, Fang Xuanling not only has to supervise the work of his subordinates during the day, he also has to ensure their diet, ensure that the meals they eat are nutritionally balanced and replenish their energy needs after a day's work.
People know how to use the five flavors to describe life, because understanding the taste is a persistent feeling in everyone's heart. In this era, everyone has experienced too much pain and joy. People of the Tang Dynasty will always hide the bitterness in their hearts and put the bitterness in their hearts. Happiness becomes food and is presented on the table in all seasons.
What Fang Xuanling has to do now is to ensure that the food prepared in the imperial dining room meets the needs of his subordinates. After all, after a busy day of work, a delicious and sumptuous dinner is the best comfort.
While walking, Fang Xuanling exchanged expectations for food with Wei Zheng, the provincial servant beside him...
"I now seriously suspect that His Highness gave us these benefits just to make us work more." Fang Xuanling said helplessly.
"I don't think so. I think it's pretty good. After all, I don't usually get to eat so many delicious foods." Wei Zheng said, stroking his beard.
Fang Xuanling: "..."
"I'm talking about Zheng Guogong, have you been completely bribed by His Highness? How did you supervise His Majesty before? In the future... I mean if His Highness inherits that position in the future, you have to maintain the previous way of supervising His Majesty." Fang Xuanling said.
"I won't do it." Wei Zheng refused without thinking.
"Good guy, are you really bribed by His Highness? I heard that His Highness gave you two shops in Datang Evernight City?" Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment. Good guy, you don't even want to cover up anymore, right? Bar.
"Humph, Duke Liang, I do, but judging from the current progress, I think it is more likely that I will keep an eye on you in the future, if I can survive until then." Wei Zheng added.
"Why can't we survive? I haven't seen how nervous His Highness is about our bodies. We originally had physical examinations once a year, but recently the benefits have been increased. Physical examinations are once every three months and four times a year. We are asked to see a doctor frequently." Fang Xuanling said with a look on her face. Speechless.
"Hahaha, isn't this a good thing? Do you want to die?" Wei Zheng looked at him.
"I don't think so." Fang Xuanling shook his head, "It's just that, hey, you said that His Majesty and His Highness are so willing to believe in us, which should be a good thing, but sometimes I feel that we should stay at home and enjoy family happiness. ."
"Either His Highness is right. People are cheap. They always think that things they don't get are the best. After giving them away, they start pursuing other things." Wei Zheng shook his head.
"You remember His Highness's remarks well enough." Fang Xuanling shook his head.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Work hard, I'm optimistic about you." Wei Zheng reached out and patted Fang Xuanling on the shoulder, "Your position is very important, and you have been doing this for more than ten years. With your ability With your age and body, there should be no problem if you continue to work for another ten or twenty years. You should feel honored that you will be famous throughout the ages after you die."
"Listening to what you said, why do I feel that life is so dark." Fang Xuanling sighed.
…
When Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were on their way to the imperial dining room, Li Ke had already entered Pingkangfang. However, he did not go to Tanchun Building today, but went to several Goulan areas. On both sides were Sichun Courtyard and Yichun Courtyard. By the time the lanterns on the hooks were hung up, although the sky was not completely dark yet, the lanterns were not stingy at all.
There are even some bold ladies outside some hook bars showing off their rich and generous side.
This place is completely different from the brothels next door. From time to time, you can see some customers teasingly hugging the slender waists of some young ladies and walking into the hook bars.
The scene in front of him made Li Ke feel a little dazed. He seemed to be walking on De Wallen Street, the most famous commercial street in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands in later generations. The windows in the street were decorated with pink, orange and various bright colors as well as the people inside. Products are so eye-catching.
When providing services, the red curtains are closed, and when receiving customers, the red curtains are opened.
Tsk tsk, think about the free, democratic, and civilized Western world. After more than a thousand years, isn't it still pretty much the same as the Tang Dynasty?
Although the young ladies of the Tang Dynasty are now standing in two groups on this street, they are still not as open as the Western world more than a thousand years later. After all, in the windows on Dewalen Street, there are both men and women, and they are also related to Internationally bordered, signs have been written in advance in various mainstream languages of the world to receive tourists from all over the world without worrying about not being able to read the words.
There you can become like-minded with all kinds of people from all over the world, and finally get an invoice.
Hey, Li Ke, think about it, how does that city collect taxes? It seems that the transaction tax of 19% is paid first, and then the personal income tax of 33%-52% is paid. Alas, it is indeed a cannibalistic society.
In the midst of his random thoughts, Li Ke walked casually into a goulan restaurant in front of him, and then stepped in without even looking at his name.
When Li Ke came in, the waiter at the door didn't even recognize Li Ke. After all, no one expected that His Highness the King of Qin would come to check the railing. Li Ke did not come here very often. This era is not like the era where photos of later generations are flying all over the sky. If you haven't seen it before, you haven't seen it before. It's not that easy to recognize it.
But after Li Ke entered the hall, there were many people who recognized Li Ke, because there were many businessmen in Goulan.
These businessmen may not know other people, but they must know the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, His Highness the King of Qin.
Although many people recognized him, everyone adjusted their posture to make themselves look less casual, but they did not rush up to say hello.
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Compared with the guests here, the shopkeeper naturally recognized him. As the shopkeepers of these Goulan brothels, they must know the powerful people of the Tang Dynasty. This is not only It’s not only about the guests, but also about how to deal with it immediately if you offend these people. There are different ways to deal with offending different people.
But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in Chang'an. Among the second generation in Chang'an City, tell me loudly, who is the boss?
Oh, that’s not right. Even when His Highness the Crown Prince is here, other places don’t know, but in Pingkangfang, His Highness King Qin is the boss!
"What? I can't come to your place?" Li Ke looked at her.
"That's not possible. Your Highness, what you said is that you coming to me is a blessing that a small shop can't get in eight lifetimes. It's just that I feel that Your Highness should appear in places like Mingyue Tower and Tanchun Tower, which are suitable for Your Highness's status. , the girl here is afraid of tainting your identity, Your Highness."
