Over the years, earth-shaking changes have taken place in various parts of Western Qin.
A large number of Han people have moved here, bringing the culture and customs of the Central Plains to various parts of Western Qin.
Zhao Ziliang did not prohibit the customs of the indigenous people in Western Qin, nor did he prohibit them from speaking their own languages. , but the official language of Western Qin is Chinese, Official documents, government notices, commercial transaction documents, and school textbooks are all in Chinese.
Teachers must also teach in Chinese.
People of other ethnic groups who want to work as civil servants must learn Chinese and take exams.
Must be qualified to be hired.
Hengluosi, as the capital of the Western Qin Dynasty and the seat of the royal court, also has the West City and the East City.
Both cover a large area and have complete planning.
This is a replica of the East and West Market in Chang'an, but it is smaller than the East Market in Chang'an.
The east and west cities are more standardized.
West Market is a distribution center for high-quality and low-priced goods, both wholesale and retail.
The commodity trade here is divided into categories and is extremely standardized.
From the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Mobei, Tianzhu, northern barbarians, Western food countries, Eastern Roman Empire, Lombard Kingdom, Avar Khanate, Frankish Kingdom, Principality of Bavaria, Bulgarian Khanate, Moravia, Bohemia A variety of products from Asia, Vikings, Slavs, the Principality of Benevento, the Principality of Stolet, the Holy See, the post-Umayyad Dynasty, the Saxons, the Baltics, etc. can be found here. .
Within the two cities of Hengluosi, there are both trading areas and living areas, as well as schools, Taoist temples, temples, restaurants, restaurants, inns, carriage shops, and government offices that manage the market.
Most ethnic groups in the world can be found here, and people speaking various languages live and do business here every day.
The daily flow of people in the West Market reaches more than 300,000 people, and the transaction volume can reach 12 million yuan.
The tax in West Qin is not high, with only a 10% transaction tax, so just one West Market can do it every day.
Bringing 1.2 million yuan in tax revenue to Western Qin.
The East Market is a commodity trading area for the rich, officials, dignitaries and the royal family.
Here there are expensive luxury goods from all over the world, such as Western collection wines, gems, the best furs from the north, and precious Damascus scimitars; Local cashmere coats, fur coats, precious blankets, high-purity spirits, and exquisite glassware from Western Qin; there are also Shu brocade from Shu, silk, tea, porcelain, paper from the south of the Yangtze River, and gold and silver jewelry with extremely exquisite production techniques.
"Master, you really killed me.
If Mr.
Wang finds out that I take the master to and from the market, he will definitely scold me to death."
Xiao Qin, the guard, followed Zhao Ziliang and kept chattering.
Zhao Ziliang was looking around casually on the street.
After listening to the chatter of the guard Xiao Qin, he casually asked: "Why is he scolding you?
You didn't encourage me to come out.
It was me who wanted to come out."
Xiao Qin grunted: "General Manager Wang will not care about this.
Although the people in Xi Qin live and work in peace and contentment and the public security is good, there are still bad people.
If something happens to the master outside, Manager Wang will definitely blame me for not stopping the master.
It’s a small matter if the monthly payment for this month is wasted, but the responsibility for the poor protection will definitely not be escaped.”
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "You are thinking too much.
It's just the two of us today.
No one knows that we came out quietly.
Besides, Hengluosi City has a population of 1.8 million.
How many people know me?"
I thought I would go out into the market with only one guard."
"I can't speak to you."
Xiao Qin turned his head to the side, very unhappy.
"Haha, don't think about it, I'll treat you to Jiangnan snacks, let's go," Zhao Ziliang said, walking into the bustling West Market with people coming and going.
Guard Xiao Qin immediately followed, "Really" "I still can't coax you."
The two of them came to the snack street in the West City after twists and turns.
This snack street is two miles long.
There are snack bars on both sides of the street.

You can find all kinds of famous snacks from all over the world, but the taste is not guaranteed.
Authentic, then you need to taste them one by one.
"Shopkeeper, here are two cages of small soup dumplings."
Coming to the door of a Yangzhou snack bar, Zhao Ziliang found a table and sat down.
The shopkeeper responded: "Okay, two guests, please wait a moment."
Zhao Ziliang waved to Xiao Qin: "Xiao Qin, sit down too."
"This won't work.
How can I eat and sit with the master?"
Xiao Qin quickly shook his head like a rattle.
"If I tell you to sit down, just sit down."
The snack bar is not big, with only six small tables.
There are a few boys and girls in their fifteenth or sixteenth year old, chatting together and eating small soup dumplings, laughing and joking.
If these boys and girls Instead of wearing robes, if the store was decorated with modern decoration, Zhao Ziliang would really doubt whether he had returned to the modern times.
These boys and girls do not have any distinction between men and women.
They are like very good friends.
Now they are all at the age when they are in love.
They talk about everything.
Sometimes they complain about their parents hiring matchmakers for them, sometimes they complain about the school.
My husband is too strict, and even if an article is not written well, he will be slapped.
Zhao Ziliang really didn't know that the social atmosphere in Western Qin was already so open.
Although the atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was extremely open, men and women were not so casual as to talk about anything, which surprised him.
But in general, as long as the younger generation doesn't act recklessly, this kind of culture is good.
It has begun to break the constraints of ethics on people's minds, but it has limits, which is good.
A young man with dark skin and a gold ring hanging from his left ear at one table said, "Have you heard that the king is going to build a military academy?"
A fat man next to me asked: "What is that military academy?"
This new word made several young boys and girls next to them interested.
The young man with a gold ring in his ear said: "The Military Academy is a school dedicated to teaching students to learn military strategy and command troops to fight.
I heard that in the future, all officers and colonels of Western Qin will Lieutenants and generals must be produced there.
If you have not studied in a military academy, you cannot be promoted to an officer.
At most, you can only become a sergeant major."
A girl next to me asked: "What kind of officer is a sergeant major?"
The young man with the gold ring in his ear said: "Oh, this is the newly implemented military rank system.
The sergeant major is equivalent to the team officer.
The team officer is in charge of fifty soldiers.
An ordinary soldier, no matter how brave you are and how many enemies you kill, if If you don't enter the military academy, you can only become a team officer at most.
But if you enter the military academy, you can be promoted to deputy captain or captain after graduating from the military academy.
In the past, our Western Qin Army followed the imperial system.
The military rank system has too many complicated names and is difficult to remember.
It is difficult to distinguish clearly, so the king promulgated new military ranks.
There are five and sixteen ranks in total, which are marshal level, general level, school officer level, lieutenant level and non-commissioned officer level.
For the time being, the marshal level is only the king, and the general level is: general, middle Generals and major generals; colonels are senior colonels, lieutenant colonels and majors respectively; lieutenants are captains, lieutenants and second lieutenants respectively; non-commissioned officers are sergeants major, staff sergeant, sergeant and corporal respectively.
Recruits are all private soldiers and are automatically promoted after one year of joining the army. as a corporal.”
This young man with gold rings in his ears spoke out the latest military rank system promulgated by the Western Qin royal court like a treasure trove, explaining it very clearly and in detail.
Xiao Qin whispered to Zhao Ziliang: "This is Bai Xiaode's youngest son, his name is Bai Zhanpeng."
"Oh, let me tell you how he looks exactly like Bai Xiaode.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
He also has a gold ring hanging from his ear.
It turns out he is really Bai Xiaode's son."
A fat man next to him asked Bai Zhanpeng: "Xiao Bai, why do you know so much about these things?
Do you want to get into the military academy?"
Bai Zhanpeng said: "Yes, I decided to go to the Military Academy.
Think about it, the king himself will be the dean of the academy.
If I graduate from the academy, wouldn't it mean that I would be the king's protégé and who would dare not give me face in the future?"
I beat him until his teeth were all over the floor, but he still didn’t talk to him.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
Go ahead and ask.
How many people in Hengluosi city don't know that you are the youngest son of General Bai of the Second Army?
Who dares not to give you face?
I dare you to take the military academy entrance examination."
In order to bully others, why are you taking the exam?
Can't you just ask your father Bai Xiaode to recommend you to enter the military academy?"
A girl said with disdain.
After hearing this, Bai Zhanpeng lowered his head and said, "Li Jingjing, it turns out you also know about the recommendation."
The girl snorted coldly: "You know something, how could I not know that your father, Bai Xiaode, is the only one qualified to go to court to discuss politics?"
Guard Xiao Qin whispered to Zhao Ziliang: "This is Li Siye's little daughter."
Zhao Ziliang was eating steamed buns.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
These boys and girls were all the children of high-ranking officials and generals in the Western Qin Dynasty.
They were all second-generation officials.
Zhao Ziliang finished eating the buns and was about to get up and leave.
At this time, a group of people were passing by outside.
One person was grabbed by the arm by several servant-like people and escorted away, followed by a large group of people.
What happened?
Bai Xiaode's youngest son, Bai Zhanpeng, turned around and shouted, "Oh, there's a lot of fun here, let's go quickly."
After saying that, he dropped a handful of new Xi Qin coins on the table, got up, and quickly walked out of the door, chasing after him.
The boys and girls also got up and left one after another.
Zhao Ziliang took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then waved his chin to Xiao Qin: "Give me the money, let's go and see the excitement too."
Xiao Qin was very unhappy: "Master, you are too dishonest.
I only have this little monthly payment, and I pay the bill every time I go out.
Didn't you say you would treat me to food?
In the end, I still paid.
I still need to save money to marry my wife.”
Zhao Ziliang said: "Hey, you are so fussy about eating something.
I will find a matchmaker for you and help you find a wife.
How about we settle it down?"
Xiao Qin responded quickly: "A gentleman's words" "It's hard to chase a horse."
Zhao Ziliang smiled, turned and walked out of the door
