Chapter Thirteen The Times
Shenshangzhuang, a typical wechat town.
In the morning, the cool wind blew.
People who get up early have already selected shopping at the market.
The vegetables, fruits and melons were piled on the ox cart, tied with straw ropes, and with dew, you could vaguely see the soil. It was obviously just harvested and very fresh.
This is not a small market.
Because of the famous Mo Ran Shrine and the powerful magical art of the Mo Ran clan, there are few monsters nearby causing trouble. Over the past few hundred years, this place has become a rare humanistic paradise in the township.
Here, it gradually became prosperous.
Not only the nearby villages, but also the villages hundreds of miles away, rushed to this bustling market.
Although it is prosperous, it is only relative to this era.
In such an era, even the extremely prosperous Heianjing was just the level of an ordinary small city on modern earth, which was not worth mentioning to Lin Zhengyang.
Disguised himself, changed into another outfit, put on a tall black hat, and a pure white Onmyoji uniform. He appeared here openly in the name of the official Onmyoji of the Huakaiyuan clan.
Huakaiyuan, when I heard this, I felt poetic surname, coupled with the outstanding appearance, exquisite silk sleeves, and the etiquette of the ministers and ministers who had not been practiced since childhood... Who would doubt his identity?
Even if there are people who have been to Heian Kyo, they will not doubt his identity. They will only feel that they are ignorant and have never heard of the name of the Huakaiyuan House.
"I didn't expect that I still have time to wear this outfit..."
I sighed in my heart, Lin Zhengyang, no, freshly released, Xiuyuan, Huakaiyuan, was savoring sake gracefully in an izakaya.
The owner of the izakaya personally delivered sake and left the private room respectfully.
Before leaving, I was still nervous.
"The adults from Mo Ran's family don't have this kind of nobleness, they are so scary that I feel like I've seen a god..."
The older boss lady unconsciously compared the figure inside that she was drinking and drinking with the adults from the Moran Shrine that she had seen in the past. She suddenly felt that the former was like the clouds in the sky, and the latter was simply demoted to the mud.
"Probably, this is the demeanor of a great noble..."
Behind the screen, in the narrow private room, Lin Zhengyang ignored all this.
In terms of etiquette, in terms of time period, after six hundred years or more, the flower blossoming courtyard home has naturally a complete flower blossoming courtyard etiquette.
The Huakaiyuan clan has passed down the family through Yin-Yang Tao for generations. Whether it is the master or the division, they are all famous for their good at various Yin-Yang techniques. They have cultivated many excellent Onmyoji and become disciples of great nobles such as the Emperor.
Over the past six hundred years, the inheritance of Yin-Yang Technique may have declined, but various etiquettes have become more complex and perfect.
At this moment, even if you are drinking or distracted, Lin Zhengyang still has his shoulders and spine straight, and he is always embodying "elegance" and "demeanor".
Any qualified Onmyoji is a nobleman.
This sentence is not just a saying.
You should know that the original Onmyoji, the Onmyoji who was born in Onmyoji, was actually a doctor trained by the official and a veritable mastery of knowledge.
In this era, those who master knowledge are by no means civilians.
The growth of every Onmyoji requires unimaginable fees. It is hard to imagine that it cannot afford a whole Onmyoji without the power of the country.
The so-called Yin-Yang Lao is actually just a school.
Onmyoji is a class that specializes in providing services to the royal family, similar to the "scholar" in ancient China.
Onmyoji must master a series of noble communication hobbies, including divination, astronomy, geography, history, tea ceremony, Go, poetry appreciation, etc.
Lin Zhengyang naturally learned everything.
I dare not say that I am proficient, at least I must understand and have the ability to appreciate.
Because the Onmyoji in ancient times often went to and from noble families to deal with nobles, he could not even understand the entertainment games between nobles.
In this era, the classes were more distinct, and an Onmyoji was equated with a noble... Even the small nobles in ordinary places were not as good as the Onmyoji Kiyoji in Kyoto.
On the table in front of Lin Zhengyang, there was a small plate of pickled radish, a small bowl of white rice, a plate of boiled fish, and a plate of pickled vegetables... This is the lunch that suits a nobleman.
Ahem, don't think it's not rich enough.
The ordinary nobles of this era are at this level.
Ordinary island countries use millet rice... Although the island countries produce rice a lot, white rice is a luxury, and only nobles are willing to eat it every day. Even the down-and-out warriors often drool over a bowl of white rice.
The island country is not rich in resources, let alone in this era when wars often occur.
It's already great to have pickled radishes.
"This era is still in the stage of bartering, at least most people in the people are like this."
I recalled the scene I saw in the market just now, wearing simple clothes, picking up and picking up the vegetable stalls, and finally leaving a jar of honey or a piece of cloth, and no one used copper coins at all...
There are only a few transactions, such as too many, and a few big merchants used copper coins from Huaxia next door.
The copper coins of the Ming Dynasty were hard currency here.
As for the coins in the island country... Sorry, because the names of the locals are minting coins, the quality of these privately minted coins is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty's copper coins, so there is still the copper coins from the Ming Dynasty that can be recognized by more people.
It is normal for commodities to use Chinese copper coins, and commodities to barter them. This is the norm... In this era, civilians rarely have copper coins or even silver in their families, let alone gold, and they may not have seen them in their lifetime.
As for Lin Zhengyang, he is an Onmyoji with an identity, so he can naturally afford copper coins.
"Rich, willful..."
In his space belt, there are special reserve coins and precious metal parts, and most of the time, there is no money to use.
Even if he encounters special circumstances, he can exchange artificial pearls and gemstones and even artificial night pearls for general equivalents of this era.
"A preliminary judgment is that this is an overhaul era with obvious backgrounds in the island country. Judging from the conversations between merchants in the cafe, there are few monsters in the vicinity of this hundred miles, and even the war has not affected this place. It is one of the few places where you can settle in a corner in a chaotic world."
"In Heian Kyo, I heard that the great Onmyoji Abe Haruma is still alive, but the twelve gods have not heard of it. It is said that he lives in Tuyu Gate and suppresses the Ghost Gate in Kyoto. He is close friends with Genhi Hoya and has not yet become the leader of Onmyo Gate."
