The West Market, like other Lifang in Chang'an, is also closed.
East is expensive and west is rich, Zhuque Street is the central axis of Chang'an, the east of Zhuque Street belongs to Wannian County, and the west belongs to Chang'an County.
The northern part of Dongcheng is the residence of noble bureaucrats.
The West City, especially on the edge of the West Market, is mostly a place where wealthy merchants live.
In the southern part of the east and west cities of Waiguo City, most of them were ordinary people.
Although the west city is not as rich as the east city, it is more lively.
Zhang Chao followed his father around the Chang'an city wall, from the east around the south city to the west city, and entered the city through the south gate of the three gates of the west city, Yanping Gate.
There was a group of soldiers guarding the door standing at the door, and these soldiers were also soldiers of the Fanshang.
For the people who entered the city, it was not very strict.
Most of them are released directly, and only some eye-catching ones will be called aside for questioning.
And those who carry goods must be called aside to inspect and pay taxes.
Zhang Chao and his father only carried a willow basket each, which was not a lot of goods.
But the old man was carrying a horizontal knife, and Zhang Chao's head couldn't hide his short hair.
"Where are the people, what are you doing in the city, what is in the basket on your back" A very young officer, but wearing a mountain armor, stopped the two.
"Is there anything wrong?"
The pass is equivalent to the road guide of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a kind of pass.
Generally, if you are 100 miles away from home, you have to pass by.
"I am a soldier of the Banner Army who went down to the White Deer Che Riding Mansion, and the deputy Zhang Tiegun of the team.
This is my son, Zhang Chao.
"Daddy is neither humble nor arrogant.
As he spoke, Dad took out his official seal.
The bronze official seal is not large, but it has the official position and name of the father on it.
The young officer took it and inspected it carefully, then handed it back, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be our comrade who joined the flag army, good brother." ” "I also joined the flag army, that is, the 10,000-year-old hussar soldier, the current brigade commander, my name is Cui Yan, and my brother can be called me Wulang."
"Hello sir."
Daddy saluted.
The Flag Army is the army of the 10,000-year-old road in the 12 roads of the Tang Guanzhong, and the 12 roads in the Guanzhong are one army for each one.
The army of Wannian Dao is the flag army.
Datang's current soldier and horse system is actually a bit chaotic, and nominally the army system is twelve guards.
But in fact, the Tang Dynasty restored the name of the Twelve Guards at the beginning of the founding of the country, and also appointed many generals as officers of the Twelve Guards.
But in fact, the Tang Twelve Guards and Four Mansions are just an empty name now.
The real army of the Tang Dynasty is actually divided into several parts, the first of which is the Twelve Dao and Twelve Armies.
These 12 provinces are equivalent to dividing the Guanzhong region into 12 military subdivisions, each of which has an army under it, and each has about 120 hussars and chariots.
The biggest difference between the Twelve Guards and the Twelve Guards is that the Twelve Guards of the Sui Dynasty are mixed with each Guard, and in the same area, there may be twenty military offices, but these twenty Guards are not only subordinate to one Guard, but to multiple Guards, and each Wei may have one or two military offices.
Such a practice greatly prevents local generals from supporting their own troops and forming a separatist territory, and can effectively supervise each other.
But now it is the early Tang Dynasty, and it is to fight for the world.
Guanzhong is the core of Datang, and the surrounding area was not peaceful at the beginning.
Therefore, the Guanzhong was divided into 12 provinces and 12 armies.
This allows you to concentrate your forces on defense and is more effective.
The Twelve Dao and Twelve Armies are an important force of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, with more than 200 guards and more than 100,000 nominal soldiers.
But in addition to these twelve armies, Datang also has several important military forces, which are the armies in the hands of Li Yuan's father and son.
After Li Yuan became emperor, he selected 30,000 elite troops to be stationed in Beijing from the army he brought with him back then, and this army was also called the Yuancong Forbidden Army.
The crown prince Li Jiancheng also has his own soldiers and horses in the East Palace, known as the Six Rates of the East Palace, as well as the three guards and five mansions of the East Palace.
The number of soldiers in the East Palace Six Rates and the Wei Mansion is quite large, and it is also an elite force.
In addition, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Jiancheng, the king of Qi, also each have their own royal palaces and horses, called the left and right six military palaces, as well as the family affairs and the tent mansions, and the number is also tens of thousands.
Of course, those clans of the Li family still have more or less soldiers and horses in their hands, such as Li Xiaogong of the Zhengnan Expedition, as well as Li Shentong and others, and even Princess Changping's concubine Chai Shao also holds an army in his hands.

In addition, many of the anti-kings of the late Sui Dynasty who were attached to Li Tang were also on the side of the army, such as Li Yi, the king of Yan, and Du Fuwei, the king of Wu.
Nominally, all the armies of the Tang Dynasty are subordinate to the Twelve Guards, but specifically, they are still divided into several mountains.
The Twelfth Army, which is nominally under the control of the imperial court, is more neutral than the armies of the crown prince and the second king.
Joining the Flag Army is subordinate to Wannian Dao, and several counties such as Wannian and Bashang in Guanzhong belong to Wannian Dao, and all provinces are under the command of the Banner Army.
Daddy's Bailu Mansion is also under the Flag Army, and this Cui Yan is obviously also under the Flag Army.
However, the father is in his fifties and is only a team vice-in-command, and he looks less than thirty, but he is already a brigade commander.
However, when Zhang Chao heard the other party's surname Cui, he felt that it was nothing.
Cui's family, one of the top wealthy families in the Sui and Tang dynasties, is known as the Cui family with five surnames and seven high families, but it accounts for two cases in it.
Boling Cui's family, Qinghe Cui's family, no matter which Cui family, are all amazing.
Among the seven sects, there are also two Li clans, the Li clan of Longxi, the Li clan of Zhaojun, and the Tang royal family is a branch of the Li clan of Longxi.
Cui Yan didn't have the arrogance of those second generations, and he was also very polite to his father, who was just a deputy of the team, and chatted a few more words.
"It turns out that you are the iron spear general who rushed into the Hebei army with an iron gun in the last battle of the Tiger Prison and won the vanguard merit, and you have been famous for a long time."
Cui Yan seems to be a young man who admires warriors, and after knowing that his father is the person who made meritorious service in this army last time, he became even more enthusiastic.
"So-and-so is just an old pawn, and he doesn't dare to be a general."
Daddy said politely.
"Brother is too modest, what is my brother doing in Chang'an?"
"Nothing, do some business."
Daddy didn't say much in front of his admirers.
However, Zhang Chao saw that this Cui Lvshuai was rich and handsome, young and golden, and his personality was also very cool.
At the moment, he said on the side, "Our two masters made some yellow steamed buns to sell in Chang'an, this steamed bun is delicious, not sour but sweet, and it can satisfy hunger the most."
Brother Gorou is hungry when he works here, so it's better to take two of them and eat. ” While saying that, Zhang Chao had already directly opened the willow basket and took out two yellow steamed buns that were still hot from it.
"Oh, it smells so good."
Cui Yan couldn't help but praise, "Isn't this a steamed cake, how do you call it a yellow bun?"
"Brother Wulang, this is not an ordinary steamed cake, you see our yellow steamed buns, as soon as you take them out, there is a fragrance from afar.
And you see, this bun is not so big, you look at this cracked opening, and the red bean and jujube paste inside are exposed.
And when you hold it in your hand and pinch it, you will know how soft this bun is. ” Cui Yan originally saw that it was a yellow steamed cake, but he knew that it was made of millet seeds, so he didn't have much appetite.
Usually he eats white flour steamed cakes, and the fillings in them are mutton.
However, the yellow bun was stuffed into his hand, and as soon as he pressed his hand, he found that it was really soft, and it was not like words.
"Brother Wulang, you eat one and try it, you eat one and think two, you scold me if it's not delicious."
"I'd like to see if it's really that good."
When Cui Yan heard Zhang Chao say this, he couldn't excuse himself, so he picked up one and took a bite.
He originally thought that if it didn't taste good, he would stop eating it immediately.
You can go down in one bite.
Wow, it's so fluffy, and, why isn't this steamed cake sour It's fluffy and soft, not only is it not sour, but it also seems to have a sweet taste.
Take another bite, bite into the red bean paste inside, the sand filling made by steaming red beans and jujubes, with bean aroma and jujube sweetness, brings a very rare taste to this yellow steamed cake.
"It's delicious."
After saying something delicious, Cui Yan couldn't help but eat it again, a yellow steamed bun is just over a hundred grams, and it looks like more than two taels in the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang people generally eat a large amount of food, and men can eat almost ten.
Cui Yan actually ate the yellow bun with more than two taels, and he couldn't help but eat the second one as well.
When he found that both of them were down, he smiled at Zhang Chao and his son with some embarrassment.
"Let the two of you laugh, I'm really hungry today.
But this yellow steamed bun is really delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious steamed cake. ” "Brother Cui is hungry, so eat a few more."
Cui Yan smiled, "Did you make this bun yourself, how many did you bring to sell?"
"Five hundred."
"In this way, I have all five hundred, just ask the brothers on duty to fill their stomachs, and let them pay for such delicious steamed cakes."

"It's Huang Bao."
Zhang Chao corrected.
"Yes, Huang Bao Bao, it's so delicious that it's much better than those steamed cakes, and it's better than the mutton and white flour steamed cakes.
How much do you sell for one?"
"Five Wen one."
Zhang Chao didn't ask for a price.
"Ah, it's so delicious that it sells for five yuan, and ordinary steamed cakes are sold for five yuan, but the white noodles with meat filling are sold for ten yuan."
Zhang Chao smiled and reiterated once again the five texts.
Steamed rice cakes of the same size are also sold for Wuwen, but the yellow steamed buns are very fluffy and lighter than ordinary ones, so the ingredients are saved a lot.
Besides, there are a lot of cheaper red bean pastes in this yellow bun.
Ordinary steamed cakes sell for five cents, and steamed meat-filled cakes sell for ten cents, and the profit is far less than that of yellow buns with five cents.
Five texts for one, and five hundred for two thousand five hundred texts.
Although Cui Yan is rich and handsome, he can't carry more than a dozen catties of copper coins with him.
However, the rich and handsome family naturally does not bring copper coins, he pays silver.
A small silver bar, just two or two.
One tael of silver is one thousand six copper coins, and two taels are three thousand two.
Dad was about to cut a little with a knife and find Cui Yan, but Cui Yan waved his hand and said, "Brother, this steamed cake" "Yellow Bun."
Zhang Chao corrected again on the side.
So Cui Yan smiled and continued, "Yes, brother, this yellow bun is so delicious, and Wuwen is really cheap."
Don't look for these two taels of silver bars, what are you doing so politely. ” Dad insisted on looking for it, Zhang Chao just looked at it and didn't speak, but in the end, Dad still didn't find it, people were rich and capricious, and Dad had to accept it.
Cui Yan took two baskets of yellow steamed buns, and immediately called two of his subordinates and asked them to call their subordinates to come over and share the steamed buns.
Although 500 buns are a lot, Cui Yan's brigade has two teams of 100 people, and each person has five, and they are only half-full.
They are all young and strong soldiers, five big and three coarse, which one is not allowed to use a basin for dinner.
While eating, these government soldiers praised the deliciousness, attracting pedestrians who came and went at the city gate to frequently look sideways.
"This steamed cake is so delicious."
"Brother, do you want to bring me two more steamed cakes."
"Give me two too."
In the end, some lucky passers-by received a little compensation from the sergeant guarding the gate and participating in the flag, and after eating, they all applauded loudly.
"I'm sorry everyone, today's yellow buns are all sold out, there are only so many, I'm really sorry.
If you think it's delicious, go back and help us publicize it, we are yellow steamed buns, Bashang Bailu Township Zhangjiagou Zhang Tiegun family yellow steamed buns, unique, not sour but sweet, fluffy and soft The most delicious yellow buns, each is only five cents, and the price of ordinary steamed cakes is a price, but it is better than the steamed cakes with meat filling. ” "This little brother, tomorrow I will pass here every morning, leave me some tomorrow and I want fifty."
"I'll have fifty too."
"I want a hundred" t1706231537:
