Early the next morning, after breakfast in the stone garden, everyone was going to greet Shi Diwen together, but the housekeeper Mo Yuan told them that Shi Diwen had gone out to the south bank of the Qiantang River to handle affairs and was expected to come back in the afternoon. Let them make their own arrangements.
Although the environment in Shiyuan is good, everyone has their own missions in Hangzhou, so it is not good to waste time here. After some discussion, they decided to split up and deal with the work at hand, and then return to the east of the city in the evening Meet at the inn.
The housekeeper, Mo Yuan, had already prepared several carriages for them in advance, and sent them to their respective destinations.
Ha Jianyi originally planned to follow Wang Anguo's suggestion yesterday to inspect the Marine Corps camp of the East China Sea Fleet near the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, but Wang Anguo changed his mind and came up with another idea: "Brother Ha, this Marine Corps station is really nothing to see. Yes, they only have one company stationed here, and there are only seven or eight small boats left and right. In my opinion, we might as well go directly to Zhoushan, where the main force of the East China Sea Fleet is, and visit the Zhoushan Shipyard by the way. See how the East China Sea Fleet builds warships."
Ha Jianyi hesitated and said, "I've only been in Hangzhou for two days, and then I turned back to Zhoushan. This won't cause any misunderstanding, right?"
Wang Anguo said: "You have official duties, so why misunderstanding? Besides, don't you want to see the true colors of the Glory-class warships?"
When Ha Jianyi's mind was neutral, when he left Zhoushan Dinghai Port a few days ago, he had glimpsed the glory-class warship at sea.It’s just that we were far away on the sea and we were walking towards each other, so we couldn’t see it very clearly. If we had the opportunity to board a boat to visit, then of course we could satisfy our curiosity to the greatest extent.
Ha Jianyi said: "But if you want to leave Hangzhou, you have to say hello to them first."
Wang Anguo said: "Just leave a letter at the inn. After arriving in Zhoushan, you can contact Hangzhou by telegram, and you won't lose contact."
Ha Jianyi thought about it, and it was true, so he nodded and said, "That's okay, then I'll go back to the inn first and get some belongings."
Wang Anguo said: "I'll prepare a boat first, and we'll meet at the canal pier later."
Ha Jianyi returned to the inn by carriage, and just as he got off the carriage, Ning Zijing also arrived on the back.
Ha Jianyi wondered, "Why did you go back to the inn?"
Ning Zijing smiled and said, "My errands are simple, and I don't need to run around like you. Just look at the accounts here and find out about the progress of Qiong Lianfa's business. Besides, the person in charge here is still working in other places and hasn't come back yet." , some things can’t be done, so I can only wait for now!”
Ha Jianyi said: "In that case, I'll find something for you. Wang Anguo and I are going to Zhoushan. If you have nothing to do, why don't you pack your things and go with us?"
Ning Zijing waved his hands and said, "You must have official business in Zhoushan, and you will disappear as soon as you go to the barracks, and I have nothing to do there... If I don't go or go, I'll just stay in Hangzhou There are countless scenic spots and historic sites nearby, isn't it good for me to visit the mountains and rivers every day?"
Ha Jianyi still refused to give up, and continued to persuade: "How about going to Zhoushan to visit the shipyard that can manufacture Glory-class warships?"
Ning Zijing remained unmoved: "I'm a layman, and it's useless to read it. Let you professionals complete this task!"
Seeing that Ning Zijing was firm, Ha Jianyi had no choice but to give up the idea of taking him with him, went back to his room to collect his belongings and a change of clothes, and left the inn with his entourage.But before he left, he still specially told Ning Zijing to keep the place where he lived for the time being, and he would probably continue to live here when he came back from Zhoushan after finishing his work.After all, inns with such a good environment and service cannot be found everywhere.
Ning Zijing was obviously more interested in visiting Hangzhou than going back to Zhoushan to visit the warship.Although he just took a stroll around Hangzhou city yesterday, he has already realized that the prosperity of this city is no less than that of the big cities on Hainan Island.
Ning Zijing had only been to the coastal areas of Guangdong as far as he traveled before, and he was also very interested in studying the local customs and customs of the areas under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. How does a large regional city like Hangzhou, which was ruled by the Ming Dynasty for a long time, have any relationship with the cities under the rule of Haihan? The similarities and differences, in Ning Zijing's opinion, are much more interesting than visiting the shipyard.
Ning Zijing did not intend to repeat Tao Hongfang's itinerary and visit the Hangzhou Office of the Ministry of Commerce.He was going to walk around Hangzhou City on his own to see the true appearance of the city.
Ning Zijing changed his outfit and took two followers with him, then went lightly and entered Hangzhou City again.
The ancients said, "The southeast is well-shaped, the three Wu cities are metropolises, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times." This "Qiantang" is the old name of Hangzhou.In the Tang Dynasty, Hangzhou, together with Guangzhou and Yangzhou, was listed as the three major trading ports at that time.During the Five Dynasties and the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou, as the capital of the country, naturally became a regional trade center.
After the Ming Dynasty, although Hangzhou no longer enjoyed the treatment of Kyoto, its economic and trade activities were more prosperous than before.According to historical records, "Entering the border of Qiantang, there are several forty miles inside and outside the city, and there is nothing close to it. If the sky is exhausted, there is everything... five directions converge, and there is nothing for sale." This shows that Hangzhou was inside and outside the city at that time. degree of prosperity.
Ning Zijing had already inquired about Yang Ji, the steward of Qiong Lianfa, and after entering the city, he went straight to Shou'anfang City, which is also known as Guanxiangkou, and is said to be the most prosperous market in the city.
The transactions here are mainly carried out through the retail of small shops and small shops, and there are many street stalls.The common commodities on the market include all kinds of cloth, clothing, livestock, utensils, food, medicinal materials, etc. It is said that it is the only place in Hangzhou that has a night market.
Ning Zijing walked and watched, stopping from time to time to chat with the seller.When encountering things that fit the eyes, they will also spend money to buy them and let the followers hold them.
Ning Zijing soon noticed that many of the daily necessities sold in the market were industrial products made in Haihan, such as matches, soap, oil lamps, kitchen knives, glasses and so on.Although these commodities arrived at the Hangzhou market after long-distance shipping, the prices were not as expensive as expected, at best, they were only [-] to [-] percent higher than those in the southern Guangzhou area.Judging from the consumption level in Hangzhou, it is still within the range that ordinary people can afford.
And the sellers who sold these products also did not shy away from promoting their place of origin, saying that these products were the first-class goods produced in the capital of Haihan.Of course, this kind of argument is good for coaxing the uninformed local people, but it is useless for Ning Zijing.
