Chapter 294: Whistleblower (8)
With its superior water conservancy and transportation conditions, Daliang initially revealed its important position in history; It became the capital of Wei State, where "the princes were divergent".
After the fall of the Wei State, the chasm was constantly destroyed, and during the Qin and Han dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were rivers with names such as Shashui, Caishui, Bianshui, Guandushui, and Xuandang Canal; Although these rivers are not a riverbed, they all flow from the south or east near Kaifeng, and generally flow southeast into the Huai River.
Kaifeng can be said to be a junction of the two major water systems of the Yellow River and the Huai River.
In the twenty-second year of the reign of King Qin (225 B.C.), Qin sent the general Wang Ben to lead the army to attack Wei, "leading the (Huang) River (Hong) ditch to irrigate the Great Liang", and the Great Liang City was reduced to ruins in the surging yellow water.
After Qin destroyed Wei, Daliang City was destroyed due to flooding and war; The prosperity of the famous city has become desolate, the status of the city has declined sharply, and the Kaifeng area has entered a long-term period of decline.
The revival of Kaifeng began with the opening of the Grand Canal during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui.
After Emperor Yang, the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, he dug the world-famous Grand Canal between 605 and 610 AD, stretching from Zhuojun (now Beijing) in the north to Yuhang (now Hangzhou) in the south, with a total length of more than 4,000 li, becoming the main traffic artery connecting the north and south.
The middle section of the canal is also known as the Bianqu because it is transformed by using the ancient Bianshui, which leads to Heluo in the west and reaches the Jianghuai River in the south, which is the most important section of the canal.
Kaifeng is also known as Bianzhou in the Sui Dynasty, located on the north bank of the Bianhe River, which is the east gate of the Sui Dynasty's eastern capital Luoyang and the western capital Chang'an to communicate with Jianghuai.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Tongji Canal was renamed Guangji Canal, and the Kaifeng area was still called Bianhe; It is a necessary place for merchant ships to travel from the south to the north.
In the second year of the establishment of Tang Dezong (781 AD), Li Mian, who was the assassin of Bianzhou at that time, organized the expansion of Bianzhou City and encircled the Bianhe River into the city, which had epoch-making significance for Kaifeng's economic development and commercial prosperity, and the relationship between the canal and Kaifeng City became closer.
The convenience of the Bianhe River transportation determined that Kaifeng became the first choice for the rulers of the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty to choose the capital.
Since the Bianhe River was encircled into Kaifeng City in the Tang Dynasty, the violent influence of the Bianhe River on Kaifeng City began; With the passage of time, the Bianhe Water Gate, the bank, the bridgehead and other places in Kaifeng City soon became the downtown area of the market trade.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the commercial atmosphere along the Bianhe River in Tokyo was stronger; It is especially intense in the southern half of the capital.
Granaries, wharves, bridge markets, and grass markets abound on the Bianhe River, and many pavilions, teahouses, and wine shops depicted in the "Qingming Riverside Map" are also slowly unfolding along the banks of the Bianhe River.
In Tang Ding's pen, the bridge market is also more noisy than the Tang Dynasty, "the head of the bridge is noisy with cars and horses, and the sails under the bridge see the painted boats." The string pipe is like jade, and the willow is like smoke."
When describing the Tokyo City Market, the "Song Hui Yao Manuscript Food and Goods Journal" also refers to the fact that the markets in the southern part of Tokyo City are mostly concentrated along the Bianhe River.
Later, the city gradually formed a situation in which "most of the shops and sellers on the river bridge were opened, which hindered the passage of people and carriages, and damaged the bridge", so that the imperial court had to take measures to strictly rectify the market.
"The edict is on the bridge of the Jingzhu River, and the people are not allowed to build a fence to occupy the fence, which will hinder the passing of cars and horses."
The emergence of the river market in Tokyo due to the Bianhe River not only broke the traditional barriers of regional markets; And it also breaks through the time constraints of ancient cities.
For example, at the night of the Shubashi River, which is located on the bank of the Bianhe River in the center of Tokyo, the city "goes south from the Shubashi Bridge and serves rice, pork, and dried food on the street...... Until the Longjin Bridge has to be brainy, it is called miscellaneous chewing, until the third watch".
The "curfew" system in ancient cities under the traditional fang city system has disappeared, and Kaifeng, Tokyo during the Northern Song Dynasty, became a famous city that never sleeps in world history.
Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty first took the canal bridge city as the center, forming a commercial street parallel to the city and the river, and stretched along both sides of the canal; The canal and the parallel streets form a new axis of growth for the city.
With the development of the "street market" and the development of commercial transactions in the alleys, the transportation network of streets and alleys has gradually formed; As a result, the structure of the streets and alleys replaced the structure of the "neighborhoods" of the past.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the closed square city structure system formed by Luoyang and Chang'an during the Sui and Tang dynasties with smooth rules and rigorous structure continued to Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was gradually washed away by a Bianhe River.
From the day when the Bianhe River was encircled into the city of Bianzhou, the characteristics of the Bianhe River directly restricted the direction of the main streets in the city; The location of some important city gates was defined, which affected the structural layout and direction of Bianzhou City.
The Bianhe River is the main traffic artery connecting the north and the south, and it is comparable to the landscape river of the general city; When the Tang Dynasty expanded the city of Bianzhou, the Bianhe River began to cover the city, and the construction of the city would inevitably be restricted by the Bianhe River.
The streets on both sides of the Bianhe River are parallel to the canal, and the direction of the city, especially the direction of the north and south city walls, is consistent with the direction of the canal, so the layout structure is more reasonable.
Since then, the Kaifeng City or the use of Bianzhou City directly transformed into the successive dynasties; Or part of the wall is expanded outward, or it is expanded on its periphery, which can be said to be in the same vein, and it has been inherited for thousands of years.
The prosperity of the Bianhe River made He Huanhuan forgetful, and he snatched the horsewhip from the driver's hand to get away with it.
As everyone knows, the whip in the driver's hand is generally thrown out in the air, and the horse will speed up when it hears the sound of the whip.
But He Huanhuan, the second hammer, snatched the whip and whipped it the horse's back, and the three horses were frightened; Run wild; He Huanhuan was on the carriage with one leg, and the other leg fell to the ground and was crushed by the hub wheel.
The driver sitting in the car saw that the hub wheel had crushed He Huanhuan's leg, and he was so frightened that he shouted and screamed and whipped and beat the horse; The three horses galloped wildly towards the Bianhe, crashed over the fence on the embankment and rushed directly into the Bianhe.
The people standing on the river bank shouted and shouted, and Huang Qianpei, Luo Shuqing, and Meng Liuhe, who were sitting in the two cars behind, hurried up, and saw that the first car with He Huanhuan and the driver had all three horses into the Bianhe River.
Huang Qianpei was so frightened that he stood on the shore and shouted, fortunately, there were salvage boats on the Bianhe River; Huang Qianpei begged the salvage boat to salvage it quickly, and paid the honorarium after fishing up the people and cars.
The salvage boat is to fish for people and livestock on the Bianhe River to make money, see Huang Qianpei say so; Several small boats quickly rushed past.
Several salvage boats quickly salvaged people, carts, horses, and 20 sacks of coins.
After all, the people of the Song Dynasty had some quality, and the boatmen of the salvage ship did not steal a single one when they salvaged 20 sacks of coins.
He Huanhuan, this Laoshzi, is really fateful, and he didn't die after breaking a leg by a hub wheel; He was salvaged and still alive, but the salvage ship cost 100 yuan.
Huang Qianpei, Luo Shuqing, and Meng Liuhe said that they let people go to 70.
This is another time for a dog, Huang Qianpei and the three wanted to embezzle a little land, but they didn't expect to catch He Huanhuan's leg without saying anything, and gave the greedy 70 yuan to the salvage boat intact.
He Huanhuan was urgently sent to the Tang Family Pharmacy, and Huang Qianpei and Luo Shuqing knew that they had missed their official duties, so they asked Meng Liuhe to send another carriage to pull back the horses, carts, and coins that fell into the water.
In this way, 100 sacks paid 7 sacks to the salvage fleet, and Meng Liuhe's freight was 3 sacks; There were 10 sacks left on the first two carts.
Huang Qianpei was ruthless and asked Meng Liuhe to pull all the remaining 10 sacks and 100 yuan of money from the first car back to the prosperous carriage and horse company.
In this way, five cars become four, and 100 sacks and 1,000 yuan become 80 sacks and 800 yuan.
Huang Qianpei and Luo Shuqing escorted four carriages, 80 sacks, and 800 yuan to the big tent of the Imperial City Division of the Chinese Army on Quyuan Street.
After Huang Qianpei, He Huanhuan, and Luo Shuqing left, Wei Xu, Changzhou, Jiang Qing, Shen Yang, Han Fei, and Yang Guang have been grinding their teeth.
Wei Xu's guy is really Wang Ba's iron heart, no matter how Jiang Qing and the four of them enlighten him, he just doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.
A few people were grinding in the big tent of the Chinese army, but they heard the doorman shouting: "General, Huang Qianpei, they are back!" ”
Jiang Qing and the others hurriedly ran out of the Chinese army's tent when they heard this, only to see Huang Qianpei and Luo Shuqing standing at the gate with 4 carriages; All four horses were full of sacks.
When Huang Qianpei saw Jiang Qing, Shen Yang, Han Fei, and Yang Guang coming out of the big tent of the Chinese army, they were followed by Wei Xu and Changzhou.
When Huang Qianpei saw Wei Xu and Changzhou, he rushed forward and "crackled" and slapped the two of them a few times.
Wei Xu and Changzhou were slapped by Huang Qianpei several times, and the second monk was confused, covering the face of the hot spur with his hand, staring at Huang Qianpei in a daze, not knowing what to do!
Jiang Qing and Huang Qianpei slapped Wei Xu and Changzhou without saying a word, and felt very relieved in his heart; But it doesn't make sense.
Wei Xu and Changzhou are really not things, Jiang Qing has long wanted to cut these two birds with a knife; Huang Qianpei slapped Jiang Qing and relieved their hatred.
But Jiang Qing didn't know why Huang Qianpei did this, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Huang Jiangshi, what's going on!" ”
"General Chiang! It took a lot of effort to pull Qianguan back from the Hongyun Pawnshop on Bianhe Street all the way! Huang Qianpei said gloomily and sadly: "He Huanhuan was crushed by the hub wheel and his leg was sent to the Tang family pharmacy by the villain, and it is still unknown whether that leg can be saved!" ”
Jiang Qing was dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "He Huanhuan's leg was broken by the hub wheel? ”
"Yes General!" Luo Shuqing continued: "The person with a broken leg is still sober, we used 200 yuan to pay for the medical expenses and transportation expenses, and only brought back 800 yuan!" "Luo Shuqing, this guy is really the king of change, fooling Jiang Qing and they didn't discuss.
When Jiang Qing heard Luo Shuqing say this, he couldn't help but have an idea, looked at Wei Xu and said, "Wei Xu, did you hear it, in order to transport the coins back for you; One of our brothers broke his leg by a hub wheel! ”
Jiang Qing said, with a stern expression: "Now there are only 800 pieces left, see if you want it?" Don't forget it! ”。
Wei Xu didn't expect the 1,000 guan indicated on the notice to become 800 guan in the blink of an eye, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
But 800 is better than nothing! It would be a bit fucking if I didn't change the carrot gold bar again......
