When I woke up in the morning, I opened the door and could already feel the coolness of the morning in the courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, it has entered August.
In Lingnan in August, the weather turns cooler, although it is not as cold as in the north, but in the morning and evening, the coolness is also aggravated.
When he walked into the courtyard, he punched first, and when his body was hot and slightly sweaty, he took off his coat, and picked up a spear from the weapon rack in only a small shirt and began to practice.
At the beginning, he was forced by his father to practice marksmanship, although he didn't have the opportunity to use it on the battlefield, but his body was a lot stronger.
Li Chao also retained this morning exercise habit, basically wind and rain.
After practicing for a while, Cheng Qian also came over with a gun.
"Teacher, early."
Li Chao smiled and stabbed out a shot hard, turned his head to Cheng Qiandao, "Why don't you sleep more?"
"Sleep, I'm already refreshed."
Cheng Qian arrived in Qinzhou yesterday, and although he tried not to stay in the place along the way, he had such a large team with him after all.
In particular, he still has the title of governor of Lingnan, so he can not stay much on the Yangtze River, but after arriving in the southeast, he still frequently meets local officials.
Especially after arriving in Guangdong, he entered Guangzhou and stayed for a period of time, and then changed to the land route, all the way from the prefectures and counties of Guangdong to inspect it.
It wasn't until yesterday that the team entered Qinzhou.
Li Chao took a group of people out of the city twenty miles to greet him and pick up Cheng Qian.
Today's Qinzhou Port has begun to take shape.
Port terminals, warehouse areas, commercial and residential areas, etc. were all built.
Qinzhou City is actually three cities.
Sub-city, East City, West City.
The sub-city is the original planned inner city, the west city is the commercial area, the city is the mixed settlement of the Fan and Han people, and the business district along the Qinjiang River is formed.
The planned facilities of the city are relatively well-developed from the beginning, with a T-shaped street layout and a tic-tac-toe shape in the Dongcheng business district, which is the largest area.
The city has also built a six-vein canal for the city's water supply and drainage system.
There are also Nanhao, Qingshuihao and Neihao that extend into the city, which have the functions of navigation, drainage and fire prevention, and there is also a haven in the eastern suburbs.
The sub-city has four gates, four miles in the ring, and the version builds an earthen wall.
The west city is seven miles around, and the same version is built with an earthen wall, and there are six gates.
And the east city is the largest, with a ring of thirteen miles, and there are nine gates.
These three cities are located on the seashore and close to the Qinjiang River.
From the beginning, the plan was extremely large, but now only the city walls of the middle city have been fully built, and the districts of the east and west cities have made plans, but the city walls have not been built, and many districts have only partially built houses and streets.
But after all, the overall plan has been done, and the follow-up will be slowly built.
In the middle city, the main thing is where the yamen is located, and there are garrisons.
Cheng Qian was also very surprised when he saw this Qinjiang City with such a large plan for the first time.
The total circumference of the three cities is more than 20 miles, which is larger than Guangzhou.
The master and apprentice practiced shooting together in the backyard of the Yamen in Midtown, and then shot arrows.
Li Chao carefully examined Cheng Qian's spear and archery skills, and found that they had regressed.
"With both civil and military skills, these can't be left behind.
Although you won't go to the battlefield in the future, practicing martial arts can strengthen your body.
It is very important to have a strong body.
Every morning after that, 100 shots were given to the spear, a hundred strokes to the bow, and another 100 strokes to the sword.
Li Chao didn't give Cheng Qian any politeness.
Cheng Qian responded with a grin.
"Let's go, go out for breakfast."
"Don't you eat in the house?"
"There's an atmosphere to eat outside."
Li Chaodao.
The two went back to their rooms to change their clothes, and after a while, Li Chao and Cheng Qian each had a set of white shirts.

Out of the Shuaifu, along the street to the east, a while out of the middle city.
The three cities of Qinzhou are slightly zigzag in design, and they are all separated by some distances.
However, only the middle city has been built with a wall, so the east and west cities are like commercial markets outside the sub-city.
Out of the east gate, follow a gravel road all the way east, and after about two miles, there is a neat house.
This row of houses is built on the side of the Qinjiang River, because of the convenience of the river, coupled with the overall planning, it is quite lively.
Now Qinzhou City is still under construction, there are a large number of craftsmen and craftsmen who repair the city, and there are many garrisons, and there are businessmen who come and go, so that today's Qinzhou people come and go.
When there are many people, there are naturally business opportunities.
This riverside commercial street is full of many inns, restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, and even green buildings and gambling houses.
Every morning, on the south side of the street, there will be a long line of food stalls, which basically sell breakfast.
A variety of breakfast and snacks are dazzling and overwhelming.
As soon as you get closer, you can smell the fragrance wafting through the streets.
There are many people who come here for breakfast, merchants who live in the neighborhood, shopkeepers who open shops, families of the garrison, officers and soldiers on leave, and even some slang people who are barefoot and wear homespun cloth.
Most of the people who run breakfast stalls here are the wives of some craftsmen who repair the city here, or the families of the garrison.
For breakfast, rice noodles are mostly sold, and then there are steamed buns, flower rolls, roasted wheat buns, and noodles.
Anyway, there are flavors from the north and south, Kannai and Kanto, and everywhere.
In front of each stall, there are some simple tables and stools, and some will build a simple shed.
In the morning, after the breakfast stalls in this place are collected, it has become a vegetable market for selling vegetables, and all kinds of vegetables, fish and meat are set up here.
In the evening, it became a food seller again.
It is even open until long after dark, forming a night market food street.
The city gates are closed every day when it gets dark, and they don't open until dawn.
But for the eastern and western cities, it is forbidden to walk at night.
There will be sentry boxes on each road in the two cities, in which soldiers will stand guard.
There are also patrols patrolling the night, so as long as you don't get into fights, you can enjoy the unique nightlife here.
"What to eat" Cheng Qian stood there, looking at the bustle and cries on the street, a little dazed.
He's never had breakfast in such a busy place.
"Do you go to the store over there to eat?"
these breakfast stalls are next to them, and some of those restaurants and restaurants also sell breakfast, the environment is better, not so noisy, but the things sold are more expensive.
"Let's eat outside, it's more lively."
Cheng Qian said with a smile.
"Where do you want to eat Guanzhong, Hanjing, or Qinzhou here" "Local."
"Seafood porridge and screw noodles are good, there are also beef noodles, and wonton is also quite distinctive."
The two found a stall selling rice noodles and sat down at an empty table.
The stall owner was not surprised to see Li Chao and the guards behind him.
Everyone knows that the king of Yue prefers to come here for breakfast, and sometimes he also comes here for supper, the people are very good, and he will not only pay for it after eating every time, but even give a little extra reward.
"Something to eat today" It was a woman, about thirty or forty years old, wearing an apron skirt and a cloth towel on her head, very simple.
Her official language is average, mixed with some dialects of Lingnan.
"Shopkeeper, here are two bowls of screw noodles, two pieces of nubuck, well, two stacks of kimchi."
The woman responded with a smile and quickly scalded her hands and feet. , a girl of about eight or nine years old, quickly arranged two large black pottery bowls, and the woman scalded them and put them into the pottery bowls.
The little girl tacitly picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup from a large bucket and added it to the bowl.
The woman took two slices of gloss from another basin and into each bowl.
"Rice noodles are here, use them slowly."
The woman brought the powder, and the bowl was very large, and there was a lot of powder in it, and it was very large.
White rice noodles are soaked in the base broth, which is topped with two pieces of beef jerky.
It is also sprinkled with some chopped green onions, which is very beautiful.
"Such a big bowl."

Cheng Qian looked at this pottery bowl like a small basin and said.
"Most of the people who come here to eat are pot-bellied men, military men, craftsmen and people, such a bowl, they are not enough to eat.
But don't look at this quantity, but it's very cheap.
There are only six copper plates in a bowl. ” "With the addition of beef, it's only six copper plates for a bowl," Cheng Qian was surprised.
"Yes, I added two slices of beef jerky and a plate of kimchi."
Beef in Guangxi is not expensive, and buffalo is produced in this place.
Both the slang fangs and the Han people who moved in earlier had the habit of raising cattle.
There are many cattle here, but the farming tools and technology are relatively backward, but the conditions in this place are better, even if there are more mountains and less land in Guangxi, but it is better than the Central Plains where there are more people and less land.
Cheng Qian picked up the chopsticks and followed Li Chao's example, copied the rice noodles a few times, and then picked up a pair of chopsticks.
"Well, it tastes good."
There is still a big difference in taste between Qinzhou rice noodles and Guanzhong noodles, but Chengqian does not feel uncomfortable eating them.
"Sit down and eat."
Cheng Qian saw his guards standing on the side like stakes, and hurriedly greeted.
An official of the East Palace watched the prince sit on such a simple stall and eat, his eyes twitched, this is not clean, it is not safe.
He wanted to say, but Li Chao, the king of Yue, also ate a lot and couldn't speak.
Li Chao enjoys eating at such an early stall, and he doesn't like to put on a show.
In fact, Li Chao's pro-people actions have won him a lot of praise.
"Don't worry, it's clean.
You see, their dishes and chopsticks are all boiled in boiling water and scalded.
The tables and chairs are also wiped frequently, and these rice noodles and dishes are very hygienic. ” Qinzhou City gathered a large number of workers, businessmen and soldiers, so Li Chao paid great attention to hygiene and epidemic prevention, built many toilets here, and strictly prohibited open defecation, and severely punished if caught.
Even cattle and horses entering the city had to bring their own dung pockets, or they had to buy them, and if they pulled the dung into the city, they were also punished.
There are also a lot of bathhouses and bathrooms in the city, which are free of charge to the public, just like the toilets.
Washing hands before meals is often promoted.
The yamen has specially sent people to inspect it, and great efforts have been made to prevent the epidemic.
Because of this, there is such a clean situation today, countless people have gathered here, and there has never been any epidemic or infectious disease.
The rice noodles are spicy, the beef is very chewy, the kimchi is sour, and several flavors burst out in the mouth, and Cheng Qian feels that it is particularly appetizing.
Originally, he thought that he would definitely not be able to finish this big bowl, but the rice noodles were eaten dry, and he picked up the bowl and drank the soup like Li Chao.
Looking at the empty large pottery bowl, he couldn't believe it.
"It's a good thing to be able to eat, usually exercise more, and be healthy to eat and sleep."
Li Chao said with a smile.
Cheng Qian sat there, looking at the lively morning market, "Teacher, do these people have to pay taxes?"
"Of course, running a breakfast stall here is not something that can be sold casually.
Each stall is charged a monthly fee, and a public security management and sanitation fee is also paid.
In addition to the booth money and the sanitation fee, there is also a monthly tax, because it is a small business, so it is a monthly tax package.
It is equivalent to the sales tax of the storefront, but the tax amount is less.
In general, although they have to pay taxes and fees, they can still make money, and they can make a lot of money, otherwise this morning market would not be so lively. ” Cheng Qian exclaimed, "It's as lively as Hanjing, but it's a completely different feeling, it's really amazing."
"You just arrived, and there are more surprises than you noticed."
Li Chao said with a smile. t1706231537:
