Chapter 485: Jicheng
Jicheng, which is the current name of Yanjing City. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoInfluenced by Qian Rujun, the students in the school are accustomed to using the names of their descendants.
For them, Yanjing is also very understandable.
Jicheng was once the capital of the Yan Kingdom.
Even though the Yan Kingdom has become a thing of the past, the older generation of people once had the rule of the Yan Kingdom. For Yan Guo, they also have a little nostalgia.
Even the remnants of the Yan Kingdom still have a foothold in Weiman Korea, wanting to restore the glory of Great Yan.
Who is right and wrong, in fact, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain.
If you succeed, everyone is true and right.
Failure, no matter how correct it may have been, will be discredited to the point of no name.
Educational brainwashing is terrible, even if you don't want to admit it. When you all have the same idea around you, you often don't dare to think about another thought.
Earlier, Jicheng was located, and it was even the capital of the ancient country of Jiguo. In other words, there has been activity in this vicinity.
Think about it too, as opposed to the swampy terrain to the east, the saline zone. The accumulation fan here is already solid.
The sediment content and soil and water conservation were not as bad as those of later generations, and although there was a lack of water conservancy facilities, the flooding was not as serious as that of later generations.
The severity of the floods probably began when the Yellow River became the Yellow River. Until then, the place was suitable for people.
At least, the fact that the ancient city has not been washed away and remains as it is speaks for itself.
Before the Wuding River became the Yongding River, this place was considered safe.
Because of this era, the climatic phenomena of future generations are also different. In this era, heavy rains are rare. The total rainfall is a little more, averaging to more than a hundred rainy days.
Unlike later generations, it often rains for a year in two or three days.
Without torrential rains, there would be no disasters caused by torrential rains.
Most of the floods and droughts that occurred in various parts of this era will not actually occur in future generations.
The population has increased to a point where human beings have the ability to balance with nature.
It's the same land, but it feels so different.
Perhaps, it is because people's clothes are different, or perhaps, their ideas are very different from those of future generations.
It's a weird idea. It seems to be controllable, but it seems to be difficult to control.
For example, the idea of patriarchy, thousands of years later, still remains in the minds of most people. Qian Rujun was extremely resentful of this.
She believes that the value of a woman is not built to lose to a man.
Qian Rujun walked into Jicheng. Very disappointed at first sight.
When she smelled the city, she was sick and wanted to vomit.
She had almost forgotten the taste.
It's impossible for Golden Wheat City to emit this smell. This is the smell left behind by the feces that have not been properly disposed of. Qian Rujun is very clear.
In Chang'an City, under the persuasion of Qian Rujun, Emperor Liu Heng finally discussed with Prime Minister Zhang Cang to improve the sanitation of the city.
The septic tank and sewer that Qian Rujun said are impossible to build.
It is impossible for the dignitaries and nobles of Chang'an City to agree to dig three feet into the ground.
However, it is possible to get the manure out of the city and clean it frequently.
Moreover, feces are no longer a thing of nothing. Farmers near Chang'an City already knew that this thing could increase the fertility of the soil.
In Qian Rujun's farm, they can't understand other things, but they can understand how to irrigate and fertilize. So they imitated and learned.
The manure could not be used directly, so they learned from the Qian family's farm, piled up towers, and then transported them to the fields to burn them for use.
The next year, sure enough, the production in the field increased.
Coupled with the start of winter wheat planting, people began to grow twice a year. For yeoman farmers and tenant farmers, their lives have become happier.
At least, the landlords, who did not care about the land, did not have time to change the rent, and the imperial court did not have time to increase taxes.
It's a pro-rata tax, but it's impossible for them to know how much you're planting.
It's just that according to the yield per mu of the upper field, the middle field, and the lower field, and then convert how much grain should be collected.
So before, they suffered a lot. Even in a famine year, they had to pay so much grain.
But in the first year of growing new crops and increasing production, this grain went into their pockets.
It was a good year for them, because everyone had enough to eat, and there was even surplus food to sell.
What is odious is the grain merchant, who says that the grain is abundant and refuses to give high prices.
Obviously, there are still so many people in so many places who are hungry. The news from afar is vaguely told like this.
Fortunately, the Qian family grain merchant came and was willing to give them a fair price. so that they can get food and tear a few pieces of cloth. They can even directly exchange cloth with the Qian family grain merchants, and they don't need to go through the merchants again and be exploited once.
This year, more little ladies are getting married in a beautiful way. The birth rate of the Han has increased a lot. The mortality rate has dropped somewhat.
I feel like it's a lot more popular. But many people are worried, can this land feed so many people? They never imagined that future generations could use the same amount of land to produce 30 times as much food.
Jicheng should not be compared with Jinmai City and Chang'an City.
is very different from Chen Liubi, who stayed twice with Qian Rujun.
After living in Jinmai City for a long time, I almost forgot that almost all the cities of Dahan have a special taste, which is always so sour.
"It stinks, can't they make a gutter?"
Qian Rujun suddenly realized at this time.
Dahan city compared to other regions. It is already a representative of the advanced civilization.
Well, the cities of Dahan are so stinky, what should cities outside of Dahan say?
It's impossible to think about it, how can a rich person put up with such a stinky home.
At least in Chang'an City. Weiyang Palace can't smell this smell.
The latrine was far away from where the emperor lived.
Of course, when the emperor wanted to go to the toilet, he was more miserable, and he went to the toilet in a distant place.
Qian Rujun estimated that the emperor probably held his urine very seriously, I don't know if the people who lived in big houses during this period had cystitis?
But even if she can come and not go shopping, she is also a little sorry for herself, and how can she lose to others in business, especially compared to students.
So Qian Rujun also bought ginseng in the city.
Although it is not the main place of trading. But Qian Rujun found that there was still a large amount of ginseng trade in the city.
Many businessmen did not have the courage to go out of the Seybeans, but started their business in the Seybeans. On the other hand, there are also people who specialize in running outside the plug to the line of Jicheng.
Think about it, there is so much transportation time, if you run so far, it is also very uneconomical for people who do business.
For them, the cost of transportation is not only one or two times higher than that of being out of town for long periods of time. There is no way to get acquainted with a place, and it can even increase the danger index by a hundred times.
It's just that at this time, ginseng has not yet occupied the main position, and fur and other medicinal materials are the main thing.
