In the Ming Dynasty, I passed Xin'andong again, and I met a man who begged for water on the road. My face was mossy, and I was hiding in the blonds.

When asked what kind of hometown was Weng? What happened? Sleeping in the cold weather in the dew? The old man got up and wanted to say goodbye, but sat down on the chin and cried to the sky.

The village garden is located in Dongji County, and the mulberry planting is close to the dian. The annual planting of fertile fields is 200, and the annual household tax is 30 million.

My sister-in-law is used to weaving brown robes, while the middle-aged woman can cook red millet rice. She has thousands of silk boxes, but half of them are left after the Yellow Chamber.

Since the Luoxiatun Army Brigade, soldiers patrolled the village day and night. The water in the box was green snakes drifted, and the wind blew the white tigers on the flag.

Getting off the horse is like a whirlwind, and everything is like a comeback. Since the family wealth is gone, the family will be full of flesh and blood, and today it will be full of suffering.

Why do you sigh in your misery? There are thousands of families in the mountains, looking for pancakes on the hungry mountains, and sleeping at night in the frost!

Excerpt from "The Song of a Qin Woman", Tang Dynasty: Wei Zhuang

——I am the dividing line—

"The governance strategy of our Grand Governor's Office has always been to promote business and agriculture, promote production and breeding. It curbs mergers and tenants to protect people's livelihood and gather people, and conducts industrial and mining construction to promote the flow of goods and make great benefits for the inside and outside. In addition, the Xingye Avenue is where yin and yang benefit the outside and inside.

"Don't you see that the inland rivers and coastal ports under the rule of the Governor's office are all over the country, and eight out of the territory are coming. Just the moon enters and leaves the goods and breeds in Guangzhou alone are millions of dollars, not to mention the grand occasions of Jiaozhou, Leizhou, Hongzhou, Mingzhou and Yuezhou...

"So, unlike those old-style officials and the landlord Dahao, you still have some way out and hope for succession..."

Of course, for Zhou Huaian, who is familiar with the historical experiences and lessons of later generations, there is another connotation. It is that the development of traditional agricultural countries has reached its peak. It is inevitable that the social inversion will be transformed as the population reaches the threshold, and then internal friction will be completed in the fierce turmoil and famine.

However, if you enter the germination of the industrialized commodity economy, it will be completely different; because under the corresponding social structure and productivity level, the upper limit of the population pressure and social problems can be much higher than that of agricultural countries.

On the other hand, like traditional agricultural countries, they have been limited by the load cap of farmable land to feed the population for a long time, and have to stop at the traditional expansion boundary effect of some deserts, grasslands, tropical rainforests and ocean tears.

Because of the natural profit-seeking nature in commercial circulation, after reaching a certain level and scale, it will instinctively cross the limitations of these land and ocean natural boundaries, and find more emerging interest growth points such as the origin, labor and consumer markets.

This is also the vitality and driving position of the history of business roads such as the Silk Road and the Golden Continent Bridge, which have been transformed into several changes, have been reborn and inherited from the modern era.

Even in the modern "Belt and Road" policy, there is also the need to digest and transfer domestic accumulated abundant production capacity and improve the overall economic environment in the country. However, this is not something that the ancients could fully understand. As long as they feel that they can promote profits and avoid disadvantages.

Outside the West Market briefing, Wang Renshou, as one of the members, also unexpectedly met some old acquaintances. Among them were teachers who studied in the past and family friends, but for some reason, he had to hide and protect these merchants.

But after reminiscing about some old words, Wang Renshou couldn't help but have a dispute with him; just because the other party was still holding some unrealistic fantasy and expectation towards the Tang Dynasty, and hoped to impress him and even question his choice, but this touched Wang Renshou's biggest pain point.

"What a joke. How did you fight over the old days? How can you compete?..."

But he said without hesitation:

"Who in the world can compare with the Taiping Army's rule? If you produce a sword and gun, you still have hundreds of times more than your output, and the quality and quality are better than you! Have you seen a few cents of utensils, a farm tool that costs more than ten cents, and a sword that can be bought for dozens of cents? Now, in Liangling, Jinghu, salt is only nine cents, and rice is only fifteen cents."

"Not to mention where this great governor passed by, except for his slightly better desire, he had no money and no luck in taking advantage of his wealth. To this day, there were only a few people in the Jingnan Courtyard that had not been decorated or repaired in the past. How could the king and father, the Supreme Lord, who liked to have extravagant things and fun, and made the inner treasury empty, compare with others... "

"I have come to Chang'an now, but I don't know the use of palaces and treasures, and I have great search books and documents, and I ask about household registration, people's livelihood and all industries, and produce and breed... This is not the atmosphere of the founding master of the new dynasty, and what is it... I have fallen into the old days and cannot extricate myself. Do you still miss the last opportunity to go to the new dynasty now?"

"I naturally know that you are interested in imitating Taishigong's integrity, but at least you should not deliberately hinder your children's future. Can you really sit back and see your own family inheritance and cut off 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 the north. Then, surrounded by the guards and personal troops, as well as specially selected meritorious generals and soldiers, and representatives of the old soldiers, they passed through the Danfeng Gate, which was the lowest terrain and charred from the inner wall, and arrived at the largest Hanyuan Hall Square in the previous dynasty.

Here, a dragon-shou canal flowing down from east to west, divided the huge brick-paved square that accommodates tens of thousands of people to review into two parts; there are only three crossing channels on the canal, facing the distance, and going straight to the wooden bridge on the railings of the Longwei Ramp of the Hanyuan Palace High Platform.

When you stand here and look back suddenly; you can cross the towering city wall to see the outer land of Chang'an, take it in the poem more than 100 yards, like vegetable beds and chess boards, and the lower terrain of the Da Nei Tai Chi Palace Palace.

However, these "vegetable beds" squares look serious in color, with traces of black and mottled (the ruins after being overfired), and the more they extend to the south, it becomes more obvious. The palace communities in the inner direction also look full of messy traces.

That was the trace left by a large number of government troops and their affiliated populations after the defeat. In contrast, the buildings in the Ming Palace must be preserved more intact; thanks to the heavy rain before the official army's plan to set fire before retreating became a bubble.

On the other hand, compared to the former site of Daxing City of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial city, which seemed low-lying and humid in summer, was built on the platform of Longshouyuan by Emperor Taizong of the Daming Palace. The predecessor of the Daming Palace was the Sui Palace built by Emperor Taizong of Tang on the platform of Longshouyuan in order to fulfill his filial piety.

In addition, after expansion, it has only reached a corresponding scale and pattern, and has become the main place for Emperors of the Tang Dynasty to investigate politics and live in all dynasties. On the contrary, the original imperial city left more routine ritual functions such as the New Year and Days.

Nowadays, it is the Polo emperor who likes to play and play. He hates being close to the government offices of hundreds of officials and is only interested in playing in the harem, so he simply stays in the north for a long time. Therefore, in the order of priority repair and maintenance of buildings, the imperial city is even more abandoned.

As he stepped on the first floor of Longwei Ramp, Zhou Huaian suddenly understood why he wanted to build it. Because the scenery of the city and most of the buildings were almost visible in this condescending terrain, it was easy to have a sense of pride and conquest of "Zhongnan is like a hand, and the market can be seen."

As the minister slowly climbed up the two sides of this tall and long dragon tail ramp, through the corresponding angle of looking up, he felt the huge contrast between the magnificent buildings formed by the towering towers and the palaces above and the lonely individuals.

When you go down the steps, you can feel another kind of self-satisfaction and heroism that is beyond the vast number of people. It is said that in ordinary situations, various flags, horses, and guards can extend from the high platform of Hanyuan Hall and the long steps to the main square.

When Zhou Huaian led a long line through the Jinwu Staff Courtyard distributed on all levels of long platforms, he climbed the annexed buildings such as the Wen Gu, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Lung Stone, the East and West Court Hall, and warmed up to reach the high platform in front of the hall at the end of the long steps, but he saw a magnificent and solemnity that suddenly became enlightened and hit his face.

The single floor is several feet high. The corridor columns alone have two people holding each other and sitting in the middle of the 13-gadge hall of Hanyuan Hall, which is wide on the three-story stone-masoned platform; and there are suspended flying corridors on the east and west sides, standing like birds spreading their wings, and the two pavilions of Xiangluan and Qifeng stand quietly in the entire field of view.

Just like Li Hua of the Middle Tang Dynasty, the "Hanyuan Palace Fu" describes: "Flying on the left and phoenixes on the right, raising the two tiles and forming wings, surrounding the pavilion with Zhou tiles, which are like dragons moving straight and straight." And behind Zhou Huaian was also filled with breath and silences of exclamation.

"Motherland..."

"Good..."

"Uh my mom..."

"Oh my husband..."

Although Zhou Huaian has become accustomed to the various restoration pictures and corresponding 3D models in later generations, after seeing the details on the real thing with his own eyes, people still unconsciously calm down, and cannot use words to describe the shock and touch of "like rising sun" and "like in the sky".

But it reminds people of the momentary grand occasion in Tang poetry, "Thousands of officials look to Chang'an, and thousands of countries worship Hanyuan" and "The palace is opened in the nine heavens, and all countries worship crowns and slaughter". This is the last symbol and remains left by the most powerful country in this era.

Even in the subtle places, the traces of the beams and pillars being chopped back and forth by swords and axes splashed and soaked in large pieces of blood on the walls, and the black doors and arches burned by fireworks, did not damage the vastness of its own atmosphere.

Come here to see it with your own eyes. This is 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 official troops in the first offensive and defensive battle after Huang Chao occupied Chang'an.

Then, after Cao Cao defeated Li Maozhen, who was hostage to rebel, he also decided to move the emperor to Luoyang, the eastern capital that he could control. Therefore, the remaining palace part, together with a large number of buildings in Chang'an City, was demolished into flat ground and drifted downstream to the Yellow River for repairing Luoyang.

Therefore, the once majestic and vast head of the Three Inners, together with the city walls of Chang'an in Xijing, was lost in the dust of history. However, all this has obviously changed because of itself, and by chance it has become the treasure of the Taiping Army.

"Now it's mine." Zhou Huaian walked forward silently in his heart. Then, some left-behind soldiers came forward and greeted him eagerly, and then opened the three-level black palace gate, and respectfully bowed and retreated with swords and guns, half-kneeled on the edge of the corridor, making a guard.

"See the Grand Governor..."
