The war between Dayan and Nan Chen is still in a stalemate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The two sides fought fiercely for a long time in the two cities south of the capital of Nan Chen, and the Great Yan came from afar, and the soldiers began to be impetuous.
At this time, Xiao Ting returned to Nanchen, took over the command of the prince's front, and personally led his troops out of the city to meet Dayan. Dayan began to mobilize reinforcements from within the country.
By this time, it was past autumn, and the Great Song court finally heeded the pleas of most of the court officials, and for the sake of border tranquility, sent envoys to Dayan and Nanchen respectively to try to promote a truce between the two countries.
When the Song envoys arrived in Dayan, they were just in time for Dayan to increase their troops in the south of Chen, and the Yan lord knew the intention of the Song courtiers, so he was not even allowed to see him.
I didn't think that by the end of the month, the reinforcements sent to Nanchen had not yet reached the boundary of Nanchen, and unfavorable news came from the front line.
It turned out that a few days ago, Wan Yan Tzuna, the commander of the Yan State on the expedition to Nanchen, was killed by an arrow by Xiao Ting, the third prince of Nanchen, when the two armies faced each other, and the morale of the Yan army on the front line was greatly reduced, and several cities were recovered by Nanchen by the trend. Yan Guo began to retreat.
And Nan Chen is actually powerless after a series of victories, and the front line is supported by the passionate passion of the soldiers led by Xiao Ting to protect the family and defend the country. The domestic economy is in recession, the population is withering, and the war cannot be consumed for a long time. Therefore, as soon as the Song envoy arrived, the conservatives led by the crown prince took the initiative to make conditions and asked the Song envoys to convey their intention to make peace to Dayan.
At the end of the year, the two countries held peace talks in Qingzhou, where the three countries meet. In the end, on the condition that Nan Chen handed over 200,000 horses of silk and 100,000 taels of silver to Yan every year, Yan began to collect troops and return part of the invaded cities.
The specific details were signed one by one under the mediation of the Song envoys, and the border was finally peaceful.
Soon after, several major incidents occurred in Nanchen China.
First, the emperor died, and then there was a palace coup - the crown prince, who was originally going to ascend the throne, was imprisoned by the three princes, who themselves ascended the throne as the emperor of Nanchen. The new emperor ascended the throne, and a large number of virtuous strategists gathered around him.
Soon, Nan Chen began a series of recuperation policies. A large number of soldiers were demobilized and returned home to farm, exempted from conscription for several years; Let the fugitives return home to restore their farms, free the slaves for life as freemen, distribute the land, and reduce taxes; On the one hand, vigorously develop agricultural business, encourage farmers to raise silkworms, and only one of the ten taxes is charged to merchants engaged in the production of silk fabrics.
Nanchen was originally a big silk country, and silk silk was sold to neighboring countries, and the supply exceeded demand. In particular, Yunjin is the most famous, and has always earned a lot of tax money for Nan Chen. Therefore, as soon as the policy came out, people celebrated and actively participated in production and entrepreneurship, and Nanchen regained its vitality for a while.
Three years later, Nam Chen's economy began to recover, and the treasury was increasingly full. However, the Great Song Dynasty began to show a scene of decline.
The Song Dynasty was peaceful for a long time, advocating extravagance from top to bottom. Corruption and blasphemy were rampant in the court, and the county officials in remote areas were even more wolf-like and harsh on the people. For a time, bandits broke out all over the country.
From time to time, neighboring countries have invaded the border, and although they are all petty fights, they also make it difficult for people in the DPRK and China who are worried about the country and the people day and night. It is also rumored that Dayan continued to accumulate troops on the border, and the situation in the Song Dynasty became more tense.
However, the people of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty knew very little about the situation between countries, and few of them cared about anything other than their own lives. Their lives are filled with new elements that have recently become popular in Beijing.
The most talked about is that it is now easier to buy silk and satin in the capital than before, and the price is much cheaper than before. Especially Yunjin, which was rarely seen in the people before, I heard that there are also places that are openly auctioned.
The place where the Yunjin is auctioned is called Jinmei Villa, a newly opened garden-style winery. Soon after its opening, its limelight far overshadowed any other teahouse and restaurant in Beijing, and even the business of Taibaiju, which used to be full of dignitaries and nobles, suddenly became cold.
Because there is tea and wine, as well as pavilions, pavilions, flowers, birds, insects and fish to enjoy. There are several kitchens in the park where guests can order food from time to time.
The garden retains the original nine-curved corridor ring, the strange stone rockery green vine green pothos are still there, a green fine vine is everywhere, and a bell is hung on it. As soon as it sounds, a little maid will come out to listen to you.
The little maids are all hired in the Jinmei Garden, serving male and female guests respectively, listening to the bell as soon as it rings, and it will automatically stealth if there is no need. Here, guests can enjoy the garden, enjoy the freshness and elegance, and also enjoy the intimate service of home.
The back garden excavated a large bath on the original spring, the original spring like a hidden dragon spitting water, after Xia Cheng's identification, is a rare boiling spring in the tropics.
With a little reconstruction, a wooden house made of logs was built. The two sides of the wooden house are separated, and there are separate places for men and women, and small wooden houses come out in the middle, which becomes a natural hot spring bath.
At that time, before the Song Dynasty, there were hot spring baths in various places. Before this river left this Jinmei Garden, the people of Beijing only knew that they would go to a valley dozens of miles away from the city to take a hot spring bath, where could they think that a hot spring bath could be built in this Beijing.
In a large deserted garden vacated outside the hot springs, the newly installed barbecue grill attracts many guests. They enjoy the beautiful scenery after soaking in the hot springs here, and roast wild game by the way, and everyone is full of interest.
If there is still any fun, a courtyard was specially carved out in the garden and converted into an atmospheric auditorium, in which a gorgeous stage was set up, and the best female singers were specially invited from Qianqiufang to perform songs and dances on stage. The audience is also separated by a bead curtain for several feet, and the male and female guests only see shadows and shadows through the bead curtain, and they can't see their faces clearly, but they don't hinder watching the performance on the stage.
In addition to performing songs and dances, the stage is also used to display new costumes made of silk and satin, and occasionally cloud brocade will appear.
There is a saying in Beijing that although Yunjin is a luxury in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not an ordinary family that can come to Jinmei Villa. The dignitaries in Beijing are all extravagant, and the more extravagant, the more these people are flocking to it.
A small piece of cloud brocade with a pattern of piercing branches is often auctioned for gold. Because of this rare cloud brocade, Jinmei Villa has not only become a place where dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing often come, but also merchants from other places who come from afar to sell goods also come here to look for business opportunities.
For a time, Jinmei Villa became famous, and the guests came like clouds.
As soon as the business was booming, the Jiang family made a lot of money, which also attracted the attention of many people.
Jiang Rui and Jiang Hao brothers came forward to socialize in the business field. However, Jiang Li was blocked at the door of his house by the people who asked for his relatives because of the expiration of his filial piety, and he did not dare to go out for a long time. (To be continued.) )
