After meeting Chen Ming, Xin Ran and Chen Ming are very congenial because they share the same interests and age. After a few days in E lake, they can't bear to separate and decide to go to Lin'an together.
On their way to Lin'an, they also played together. Although Chen Ming was young, he had more social experience than Xin Ran because he was good at walking outside when he was young. Along the way, he talked about the anecdotes of the world. Xin Ran enjoyed what he saw along the way.
They traveled all the way, but they were not in a hurry. It took them several months to arrive at Lin'an City in the evening.
Chen Ming asked Xin Ran, "brother, have you ever been to Lin'an?"
"Yuxiong had been here when he was young, but my father was busy with business, and he was young at that time, so he was not very familiar with Lin'an City, ”Xinran replied,
Chen Ming said to Xinran, "brother, since my father passed away, Ye Shi, a good friend of my father's, sent a letter to the imperial court, asking for the official post of Chen Wenduan, my elder brother. The imperial court was grateful that my father had been serving the country and the people all his life, so it specially allowed Ye Shi's request to grant my elder brother the post of minister of rites. In Lin'an, my elder brother loved my younger brother very much So he took me to Lin'an to take office, so he is very familiar with Lin'an City. "
After listening to these, Xin Ran said with a smile: "since you are so familiar with my brother, please take my brother around and introduce Lin'an City."
Chen Ming said to Xin Ran, "my younger brother should have worked. Lin'an City was the western government of Wu and Yue before the emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty ruled the country. After the founding of the Song Dynasty, it belonged to Liangzhe road. Hangzhou was the center of the road. Later, when Su Shi and Su Da Ren were officials here, they built water conservancy projects and advised farmers to support mulberry production. Naturally, Hangzhou became more and more prosperous, Later, in the first year of Daguan of Song Dynasty, it was promoted to Shuai Fu, governing nine counties of Qiantang, Renhe, Yuhang, Lin'an, Yuqian, Changhua, Fuyang, Xindeng and Yanguan, with a population of more than 200000 households at that time. It was the most populous Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River and one of the four major commercial ports in Song Dynasty with prosperous overseas trade, Due to the invasion of the Jin Dynasty, the capital of the Song Dynasty, Tokyo, was destroyed by the Jin people. The Emperor Gaozong was ordered to ascend to the throne at Tianfu. Later, he moved south to Hangzhou and promoted it to Lin'an. Since then, because it became the new capital of the Song Dynasty, the Lin'an City has been built and expanded continuously. It is divided into inner city and outer city It starts from fengshanmen in the north, reaches Jianggan in the south, wansongling in the West and houchaomen in the East. In the Imperial City, numerous halls, halls, buildings and pavilions have been built. In addition, there are many palaces and royal gardens. The outer city crosses Wushan in the south, Wulin gate in the north, West Lake on the right and Qiantang River on the left, which is very large in scale.
meanwhile, there are 13 gates for access, and a wide moat is dug outside the city, In order to prevent foreign enemies from attacking;
in addition, there are many outstanding figures in Hangzhou, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River. In the Qing Li period of the Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng, who invented the movable type printing with clay, and Shen Kuo, the author of Mengxi Bi Tan, were all here. "
after listening to this, Xin Ran sighed," Jiangnan is so prosperous and talented. If you can work together, why worry about the kingdom of Jin and Tokyo. "
" the warm air makes Hangzhou bianzhou. I'm afraid these powerful people will not make progress, "Chen Ming continued.
They chatted while walking. Unconsciously, they had visited several prosperous places in Lin'an.
