Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Anyway, from head to toe, this guy has no talent or qualifications at all. How could he be admitted into the Qianniu Guard, a government agency that provides close protection to the emperor?

Lanlingfang is located right next to Zhuque Avenue and has an excellent geographical location. It is also under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, so it is naturally very lively.

Steamed buns will swell, and fish sashimi will not be fresh after being eaten for a long time. The brother and sister went their separate ways. Jiang Wangri took the initiative to buy steamed buns. He liked to add a lot of vinegar and a spoonful of chili peppers, which made it sour and spicy. He was worried about letting others do this operation, so he had to watch it himself.

Jiang Shangxian didn't bother to pay attention to him. He turned around and went into the restaurant to order. People at that time loved to eat fish sashimi, even more than modern people. In the middle of the restaurant, the chef's knife was dancing with afterimages, but it still couldn't keep up with the speed of placing orders.

This restaurant was doing very good business. She looked around for a long time before she found a seat in the corner to sit and wait. It wasn't that she was tired, but it was just a bit awkward to stand.

The lives of the Tang people are actually very similar to those of modern people in some aspects. Modern people like to read and chat about gossip online, while the Tang people love to spread rumors and are keen on gossip. Whether it is a restaurant, a bookstore, a grain store...anywhere where you can see people, you can see them enthusiastically chatting about gossip.

"Have you heard? Things are not peaceful in Chang'an City lately."

"What's going on? I just came from Suzaku Avenue and saw the senior officers of the Qianniu Guard riding past. I was very surprised."

"It would be strange if the Qianniu Guards went there! In Chang'an City, the most common ones coming and going are the Jinwu Guards. The Qianniu Guards are very rare. What do you think they do? They rushed back from outside the city in broad daylight. How could they be safe?"

"So many young ladies have been murdered, and we still haven't found a clue. I heard that under pressure from Chang'an County, the case has been transferred to the Dali Temple."

"Dali Temple? Which official in the Dali Temple took over? Dali Temple Minister Guo Bingzhi is a slippery and ruthless person, so he definitely wouldn't take such a difficult case."

"Who else could it be? Cui Shaoqing answered it!"

"Oh, Mr. Cui is truly a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers..."

"What do you know? Shaoqing Cui is from the Qinghe Cui clan. What kind of status does that hold? How can you, a jealous person, comment on that?"

Jiang Shangxian listened to them talking about endless gossip with his ears half-hearted. Although a team of Qianniu Guards was not common, it was not uncommon. This little thing could be extended to talk about for an hour or two. Their lives were really too idle.

However, this serial murder case is somewhat worrying. She did not learn her professional courses well, and Di Renjie should still be a boy about the same age as Jiang Wangri. She didn't know whether this young man from the Qinghe Cui family could solve the case as soon as possible.

When she walked out of the restaurant carrying the fish sashimi, the topic inside had jumped to the fact that the saint had once fallen in love with a beautiful woman outside the city of Chang'an. After returning to the palace, he thought about her day and night and ordered the Qianniu Guards to bring her back to the palace.

Come on, the Qianniu Guards aren't pimps. Even if Li Shimin liked a beautiful woman, couldn't he just issue an imperial decree? There were so many harems in the Tang Dynasty, how could they not fit someone in?

Of course, the most important thing is that the male protagonist of the gossip is not in Chang'an now, so this is simply an extremely outrageous rumor.

Sure enough, someone inside had already started cursing: "What a peasant slave, full of nonsense!"

"How dare you, a poor fellow, challenge me?!"

Look, the people of the Tang Dynasty were not rude at all when they cursed, compared with modern people who claim to be civilized and progressive.

They don't greet each other's female relatives, nor do they ask about each other's organs. Is this considered a swear word?

The more ordinary life is, the more time slips by like sand falling through your fingers.

By mid-May, Jiang Shangxian still hadn't found a suitable shop in Xishi, but a mysterious letter arrived.

It appeared out of nowhere at the same time and in the same way as the first time, hitting her in the face.

This time, Jiang Shangxian stared with her almond-shaped eyes and looked carefully. This thing really did suddenly appear in her room, above where she was lying.

For some reason, Jiang Shangxian breathed a sigh of relief before even opening the letter.

It was still an ordinary A4 paper, and the ink on it was very fresh. She sat up and moved to the window, her heart beating uncontrollably faster.

"If you want to return to the era you lived in, please complete the task and collect 1080 Buddhist beads."

'Mission: Become famous in Chang'an.'

'Quest reward: 20 Buddhist beads.'

Jiang Shangxian turned the paper over and over, squinted his eyes and read it carefully. After making sure that there was nothing more, he fell silent. It turned out that there was no free lunch in the world. Even the time travel that she didn't need at all had performance indicators. It was really fucked up.

Moreover, it is too general. What does it mean to become famous?

If she stripped naked in broad daylight and ran out of Yong'anfang, running around the three avenues of Chang'an, it would surely cause a sensation in the entire Chang'an city and she would be caught by the Jinwu Guards. On that day, Li Shimin in the Daming Palace would also know that such a slut had appeared in the great Tang Dynasty under the feet of the emperor.

Jiang Shangxian silently complained in his heart, folded up this piece of paper, put it together with the previous one, and lay back on the bed with his eyes closed, thinking.

If I can really go back, then what is the purpose behind the person who brought me here?

She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out even with the moon at its zenith. She shook her head and decided not to think about the puzzle for the time being, but to think about how to complete the task first.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

The Jiang family has no achievements, and their official status is even more ridiculous. The only thing they can boast of is that they are locals.

It is now the Zhenguan period. If she wants to enter the officialdom as a woman, she can only start from the six bureaus and twenty-four departments. The highest rank of female officials is only the fifth rank, and the affairs they are in charge of are not related to the court.

Agriculture was even more nonsense. She knew nothing about it and had no way of researching some earth-shattering high-yield crops to feed the people of the world.

The status of a craftsman is not high, and she doesn't earn much money. Most importantly, she really doesn't understand manufacturing.

Thinking of this, she felt a little melancholy. Could it be that those time-traveling women in novels were all all-round cutting-edge talents in modern times, and they traveled to ancient times to make various inventions and accelerate the progress of civilization?

Wouldn't that mean she is a hindrance?

Jiang Shangxian smiled self-deprecatingly and continued to calculate with his white and tender fingers: Shang.

From the Zhou Dynasty until the Republic of China, with the liberation of thought, the status of merchants improved. She usually sold some homemade mutton, which was not considered a merchant. Just like the south of Chang'an City, where there were fewer people and more land, people there would take their vegetables to the West Market to exchange for money, which was not considered a merchant.

She originally thought of opening a small shop. Although opening a shop would be considered a business, at least her life would be better. But now she was afraid that it was no longer possible.

The status of merchants at that time was too low, and everyone looked down on them. Even if they had a fortune, they would probably not be able to become famous.

In fact, there were tens of thousands of people seeking fame in Chang'an and even in the whole world;

Another shortcut is to steal poems that have not yet appeared, which will ensure that you can gain a reputation as a talented woman.

However, a gentleman has his or her own ways and his or her own refrains. For the time being, she is not capable of plagiarism...

Of course, she couldn't guarantee that when she was at her wit's end, she wouldn't break the bottom line. After all, human beings themselves were complex and despicable creatures.
