C328 Xiao wens instruction (1/2)

Although he thought that, Xiao Wen knew that he did not have the appropriate round collared robe Tang suit.

After all, although the round collar and robe was in his residence, the officials of Tang Kingdom had been preparing it for a long time. But in truth, the officials of the Tang Kingdom did not prepare for it. Strictly speaking, they did not prepare for it.

If he wore the wrong clothes, it would not cause too obvious of an adverse effect, but it would still cause him to lose some dignity.

Xiao Wen was a decent person, with his personality, he wouldn't ignore such small details.

But luckily, although Xiao Wen did not have any decent clothes, he had the ability to pay the bill which could solve all his problems.

He turned towards Shangguan Waner, looked at the little angel and asked: ”Wan'er, do you know which tailor's skills are the best in Luoyang City?”

”Luoyang City?” Wan'er thought about it carefully and said, ”A few years ago, it should have been the East City's Tailor Wang. He helped a lot of nobles make clothes. He also made me clothes when I was young. ”

”Alright.” Xiao Wen nodded.

He knew that the Tang Dynasty's Chang'an City had a population of one million and needed a large amount of commodities.

According to the previous generation's capital city's system of centralizing business shops in a fixed area, the Tang Chang'an City had set up two cities on both sides of the street.

The East City and the west market were the same, they were both business districts of the Tang Chang'an City, and from a functional perspective, the two were no different.

As the largest commercial district of the Tang Chang'an City, it played an important role in foreign trade, as well as in meeting the daily needs of the residents.

The East City and the Western City were placed on the same side of Vermillion Bird Street, symmetrical on the left and right, in the southeast and southwest of the imperial city. The two cities of East and West started to build up the business structure of the Tang Chang'an City.

”There are two hundred and twenty lines of goods in the city, and all four sides have buildings and four sides are filled with precious treasures …” This was the record of the prosperity of Chang'an City Tang from the history books.

In the records, not only were there pen shops, wine houses, iron shops, meat shops, carvings printing shops, but there were also donkeys, violinists, acrobats, lute players, and rich men who embroidered silk …

The East City was one of the central areas for the production and trade of handicrafts in the Chang'an City.

The shops were contiguous, the business was busy, and the business was very prosperous. The shops that produced and sold similar goods in the city were arranged in the same area, called a row.

The inn where the goods were piled was called the residence. The residence not only stored the goods for the merchants, but also handled a large number of wholesale transactions for them.

The businesses in East City were not only categorized, there were also two hundred and twenty lines of them, and each of them had a considerable scale.

According to historical records, in the East City, other than the shops, there was also a management agency and a central posting office.

The law of the Tang Dynasty was strict. In order to control the order of the market, not only did the Central Committee set up a municipal administration in the East City, but it also set up a resident organization such as Chang Ping Cang and Ping Guan Gang.

The Tang Dynasty followed the system of marketplaces. Before the middle Tang Dynasty, the government was not allowed to open shops and workshops outside of the city. Therefore, the East City and the West Market were concentrated business areas in the Tang Dynasty. Tang said that in order to ensure the order of the market and fair trade, the government has a long and peaceful reserve in both the east and west cities. As a price agency, the government controlled the price leverage of the people's livelihood goods in the market, regulated the relations among production, circulation and consumption through government business, promoted the development and prosperity of the ancient society and economy, and played a role that other state institutions could not replace.

The function of Changping is more specific than that of the MPA. Changping is the grain depot used by the state to regulate grain prices. With strong reserves of grain and salt as a backstop, the government will use them at any time to level the price of grain, thereby further stabilizing the market prices and combating the illegal merchants who are hoarding strange goods.

However, although the two markets appeared similar in law, there were still some small differences.
