The Ming Dynasty passed Xin Andong again, and there was a man who was begging for money on the road. Cangcang's face is moss-colored, hidden in the middle of the canopy.
Ask Weng Ben is He Xiangqu? What's the matter cold days and frost sleeping? The old man wanted to make a statement for a while, but sat on his feet and cried.
The township garden runs through Dongji County, and the mulberry is near the land year by year. The annual household tax is RMB 30 million and the annual household tax is RMB 200 million.
My sister-in-law is used to weaving brown robes, and Chinese women can cook red millet rice. Thousands of warehouses are filled with thousands of silk boxes, and the yellow nest is still half decayed after the yellow nest.
Since the Luoxia Tun Division Brigade, day and night patrols have entered the village. In the mid-autumn festival, the green snake is drawn by the water, and the white tiger is blown by the high wind on the flag.
The entrance is like a whirlwind, and the room is full of money. The family wealth is gone, and today is suffering.
Why are you so bitter? There are thousands of families in the mountains, looking for tentacles on the hungry mountains, and staying overnight in the frosty flowers!
Excerpts from "Qin Fu Yin", Tang: Wei Zhuang
—I am the dividing line —
"Therefore, the governance strategy of our Metropolitan Government has always been to promote business, protect agriculture, and promote production and reproduction. Consolidation and re-tenancy are suppressed to maintain the livelihood of the people, and the construction of industry and mines is carried out to promote the circulation of goods to benefit internally and externally... In addition. Yin and Yang are mutually beneficial and prosperous avenues..."
"Don’t you see, the inland rivers and coastal ports under the governing government’s administration spread all over the country and the other places outside the territory. The monthly entry and exit of goods in Guangfu alone is worth millions, not to mention Jiaozhou, Leizhou, and Hong Kong. State, Mingzhou, and Yuezhou are flourishing..."
"Therefore, unlike those old-style officials and landlords, you still have a way out and hope for continuity..."
Of course, for Zhou Huaian, who is familiar with the historical experience and lessons of later generations, there is another connotation. It is the peak of the development of traditional agricultural countries, and it is inevitable that as the population reaches the threshold, the society will be involuted, and then in the fierce movement and famine, the internal consumption will complete the cycle of the rise and fall of the chaos.
But if it enters the industrialization-based commodity economy, it will be completely different; because under the corresponding social structure and productivity level, the upper limit of accommodating population pressure and social problems is much higher than that of agricultural countries.
On the other hand, unlike traditional agricultural countries, which have long been limited by the upper limit of arable land to feed the population, they have to stop at the traditional expansion boundary effect of some deserts, grasslands, tropical rain forests and tears of the sea.
Because of the natural profit-seeking nature of commercial circulation, after reaching a certain level and scale, it will instinctively cross the limits of these natural boundaries of land and sea, and seek more emerging interest growth points such as production areas, labor and consumer markets. .
This is also the vitality and driving position of those commercial roads called the Silk Road and the Golden Land Bridge in history, although they have undergone several changes, they have been able to endure for a long time, and have been able to break out of the old and bring the new to the modern age.
Even the modern “One Belt, One Road” policy also has the need to digest and transfer excess domestic production capacity and improve the overall domestic and surrounding economic environment. However, this is not something that these ancients can fully understand, as long as they feel that they can benefit from the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages.
On the sidelines of this briefing in the West Market, Wang Renshou, as one of the attachés, also unexpectedly encountered some old acquaintances. Among them are teachers who studied in the past, as well as family acquaintances, but at this time for some reason, they had to take shelter and shelter with these merchants.
Only after recounting some old words, Wang Renshou inevitably quarreled with him; just because the other party was still holding some unrealistic illusions and expectations towards the Tang Dynasty, and hoped to impress him and even question him. Choice, but this touched Wang Renshou's biggest pain point.
"It's a joke, how did the old dynasty fight and compare?..."
I saw him speak unceremoniously:
"Just the production of salt and ironware, who can compare to the rule of the Taiping Army in this world? The skill you produce a knife and gun is still hundreds of times more than your output, quality and quality. The color is better than you! Have you ever seen utensils for a few cents, farm tools with a dozen cents, and swords that can be bought in dozens of cents? Now in the land of Liangling and Jinghu, the salt is not enough. Jiuwen, Doumi is only fifteen dollars."
"Not to mention what the chief governor has gone through, apart from a little better appetite, there is no money to get, and the woman has no luck. So far, there are only a few people in the back house, all living in the old house that has not been decorated and repaired. In the Southern Festival of the Sun, how can the monarch and holy lord supreme in the Tang Dynasty who love extravagant things and make the inner treasury empty, compare with others..."
"Now that Chang'an comes to Chang'an, I don’t hear about palace utensils and treasures, and ask for books, books, and books, and then ask about household registration, people’s livelihood, and production of goods... This is not the atmosphere of the master of the new dynasty. What is it... You have already fallen into the old time and can't extricate themselves from it. Are you still missing the last opportunity to move towards the new dynasty..."
"Naturally, I know that you all intend to imitate Taishi Gong's manner of integrity, but at the very least, don't deliberately hinder the future of your children; can you really sit back and watch the inheritance of your own family and cut off your relationship with the new dynasty? . At least my family can’t do it.”
—I am the dividing line —
At the same time, Zhou Huaian also came to the Daming Palace in Bei Nei. Then, surrounded by the guards who called forward and embraced them, as well as the specially selected meritorious generals, sergeants, and veteran representatives, they passed through the lowest level of the Danfeng Gate, which was blackened from the inner wall, and came to the front dynasty. The largest Hanyuan Palace is on the square.
Here is a Longshou Canal that flows diagonally from east to west, and it has a width of 10 feet down. The large paved square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people is divided into two parts, the north and the south. There are only three across the canal and directly face each other. In the distance, go straight to the lean wooden bridge of the Longwei ramp of the Hanyuan Hall Gaotai.
Standing here, suddenly looking back; you can cross the towering city to see the Chang'an Outer Guo, the more than one hundred square districts neatly arranged in the poems like vegetable borders and chessboards, and the lower terrain of the Taiji Palace in the inner palace. .
It's just that these "caiqi" squares look serious in different tones, and there are black mottled marks (the ruins after the fire), and the more they extend to the south, the more obvious they become. The palace complex in the direction of Ouchi also seemed to be full of messy traces.
That is the trace left by a large number of officers and soldiers and the attached population after the defeat. In contrast, the building conditions in the Daming Palace should be preserved more intact; thanks to the heavy rain before, the plan to set fire to the officers and soldiers before they were defeated was in vain.
On the other hand, compared to the old site of Daxing City in the former Sui Dynasty, it was rebuilt, but in the summer it appeared low-lying and damp. The predecessor of Daming Palace was Emperor Taizong Li Yuan, who was retired by Emperor Taizong in order to fulfill his filial piety. The summer palace built on the terrace of Longshouyuan.
In addition, after the expansion, it has the corresponding scale and structure, and it has become the main place for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to inquire about politics and live. On the contrary, what is left in the original imperial city is more of the routine etiquette functions such as the showang dynasty. Up.
And now, it is the polo emperor who likes to play and play, and hates being close to the Hundred Officials' Office, and is determined to only play in the harem, so he simply stays in the north side for a long time, so the building is given priority. In the order of repairs and maintenance, the imperial city's inner part is even more desolate.
And when he stepped onto the long platform on the first floor of the Longwei ramp, Zhou Huaian suddenly understood why he wanted to build it. Because the scenery of the whole city and most of the buildings are almost completely unobstructed in this condescending terrain, it is easy to produce a kind of pride and sense of conquest of "knowing the south and peeking into the city".
As a courtier, as he walked slowly up the two sides of this tall and long Longwei ramp, he felt that the two sides of the tower and the palace above were formed by the corresponding specific looking up perspective. The magnificent building is insignificant and helpless in contrast to the lonely individual.
But when he stepped down, he could feel another kind of self-satisfaction and heroic detachment from the masses of beings. It is said that in ordinary scenes, various flag flags, horses, and guards of ceremonial guards can extend from the high platform and long steps of the Hanyuan Hall to the large square.
When Zhou Huaian led a long line through the left and right Jinwuzhangyuan, Dengwen Drum and Bell Drum Tower, Lung Stone, Dongxi Chaotang and other auxiliary buildings distributed on the long platforms on each floor, they warmed up slightly and reached the end of the long stairs. On the high platform in front of the temple, he saw a magnificent and solemnity suddenly enlightened.
It's only a single storey but it's quite a few feet high. There are two people hugging each other thickly on the pillars alone, sitting in the 13-wide main hall of Hanyuan Hall above the triple stone masonry platform in the middle; and there are hanging flying corridors on the east and west sides. The two pavilions of Xiangluan and Qifeng, which were like flying birds spread their wings, stood quietly in clusters in the entire field of vision.
It's like the description of Li Hua's "Han Yuan Palace Fu" in the middle Tang Dynasty: "Left Xiang and right dwelling phoenix, and the two sides of the wing are winged, and the circle of the A Pavilion is shaped like a dragon, and the curve is straight like a dragon." And Zhou Huai'an is also a piece behind. Excited gasp and exclamation of the silent movement.
"Motherland..."
"Goodbye..."
"Er Di Niang..."
"Ouch..."
Although Zhou Huaian has been accustomed to seeing various restoration drawings and corresponding 3D modeling for later generations, after seeing the details of the real object, he still inevitably makes people unconsciously silent, and cannot use words to describe "like the sun." The shock and moving of "Ascend" and "As in Xiao Han" are also the same.
But it also reminds people of the momentary grand occasions of the so-called "Thousands of officials look forward to Chang'an, all nations worship Hanyuan", "Nine days to close the palace, all nations worship Mianqi". This is the last symbol and remains of the most powerful country in this era.
Even the subtleties are still ubiquitous, the traces of the beams and columns being chopped back and forth by a knife and axe, a large amount of blood that has soaked the wall, and the black door and hanging arches burned by fireworks, it does not damage much of its own atmosphere. Pang Ran.
Coming here to see it with your own eyes, this can be regarded as one of Zhou Huaian's many wishes and obsessions after he came to this era. Because on another trajectory in history, these magnificent palaces will be set on fire by the defeated and fled officers in the first offensive and defensive battle after Huang Chao occupied Chang'an.
Then after the living Cao Cao defeated Li Maozhen, who was holding the emperor into trouble, he also decided to move the emperor to Luoyang, the eastern capital of his own control, so he demolished the rest of the palace, together with the large number of buildings in Chang'an City, into the Yellow River. Drifting downstream to repair Luoyang.
Therefore, the once majestic and magnificent head of the Three Neighbourhoods, together with the Xijing Chang'an fortress, are now in the dust of history. However, all of this has obviously been changed because of himself, and by accident, it has become the possession of the Taiping Army.
"Now it's mine..." Zhou Huaian walked forward silently in his heart. Immediately there were soldiers who stayed behind to greet them with an eager salute, and suddenly opened the door of the three-fold black temple at Zhanggao, and bowed respectfully and retreated to kneel on the edge of the corridor with swords and guns, acting as an arch guard.
"See the chief governor..."
"Respectfully welcome the general governor..." (End of this chapter)
