Happy time always flies very fast, vaguely remember that yesterday was still the Lantern Festival, accompanied by beauties, in the streets and temples, singing, chatting to find rare beauty, and today when I woke up, it was already the middle of February.

The time of the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites is the third day of the first month of March, and at this moment, all the lifters from all over the country have been relieved to the capital city of Lin'an, so that the already densely populated royal street is congested for a while.

Not only is the city blocked, the West Lake next to it is also lined with boats, scared to hide in the grass is hatching the baby of the female duck, dare not stay away from the nest one step, had to work hard next to the male duck, one trip to it to bring small fish and shrimp to eat.

Lin'an, can also be said to be Hangzhou.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, it has the reputation of "the land has beautiful lakes and mountains, the first state in the southeast", so the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was selected here, it is this beautiful scenery, as for the close to the sea, the main reason is that the royal people like to see the sea.

Whether it is facing the sea in the spring, or facing the sea cliff in the east to escape for life, anyway, since the country is set here, a place that was originally only fishing, instantly developed into more than 440 lines, all kinds of markets, the transaction is very prosperous, food and clothing are used by all things, everything is available, Hangzhou in this era, like a lighthouse that emits dazzling light, illuminates the world.

More than 50 countries and regions, such as Japan, Goryeo, Persia, and Dashi, had envoy exchanges and trade relations with them, and the imperial court also set up a special "City Shipping Division" to take charge of its affairs, increasing millions of yuan in taxes for the national treasury every year, all of which originated from the rapid increase in the population of Lin'an Province.

As the saying goes, "labor creates wealth, and there is great strength in many", according to historical records, during the Xianchun period, Lin'an Prefecture and its prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction had a population of more than 1.2 million, and the increase in population created basic conditions for the development of social productive forces and the prosperity of commerce.

At that time, there were many handicraft workshops in Lin'an, and the workers in the factory even implemented the shift rest system, and produced all kinds of exquisite commodities day and night, especially the breakthrough of silk weaving and printing technology, so that the weaving skills were more sophisticated, and many exquisite and precious silk fabrics were produced, which were sold to all over the world through the "horseshoe" of traveling merchants.

Mining, ceramics, papermaking, shipbuilding, tea, sugar, salt, poetry, song and dance culture were all famous in the world at that time.

Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty at that time not only surpassed its predecessors, but even had the prosperity of modernization and reached the state of embryonic capitalism.

Hangzhou's special status naturally attracts a lot of people at home and abroad, enjoy the charming and moving scenery of the West Lake during the day, and at night, go to the "night market" to eat all kinds of delicacies that are stir-fried in an iron pot.

Restaurants, tea houses, art workshops, post hostels and other service industries are vying to come up with their best services and characteristics, so that you can give him a good review after you are satisfied!

Speaking of Lin'an, it is naturally inseparable from the capital.

When I opened the picture to see Lin'an, from the solid city wall, I noticed a majestic feeling coming to my face, and I couldn't help but want to expose my clenched fist arm and compare it with it.

This castle is divided into two parts, the southernmost is Ouchi, where the royal family lived, the northernmost is the residential area where the common people stay, and the places close to Ouchi are the official offices.

Outside the Donghua Gate of the Imperial City, to the north is the noon gate of "launching the noon gate to behead the public", the noon gate continues to the north is the Liubu Bridge, and the west side of the Liubu Bridge is the office of the officials of the three provinces and six ministries known as the "two clouds of purple scarlet".

To the north, there is only next to each other, is all over the state and county yamen, through the official road post station to the imperial court official documents delivered to the "Duting Station", here, the government affairs will be secretaries, people, and other miscellaneous green-robed petty officials, according to the priority, divided into three provinces, six ministries and departments.

Of course, some local secret twists and turns will naturally be sent directly to the palace by the Huangmen chamberlain, who serves as the deputy commander of the house.

Dutingyi to the north is the "Taiyi Bureau", and then to the north is the long Xiaohe Royal Street, the east of the Royal Street is the big river, to the east is the place to play, and the Xiaohe Royal Street to the west, is the dense residential area, like "Taipingfang", "Lirenfang", "Zhonghefang" many square sites, in the middle of the period also mixed with Taichang Temple, Fuxue, Taixue, Guozijian, martial arts, and even the major palaces and temples and Taoist temples.

And the tribute courtyard where the dog is going is in the northwest of the whole city, and the north is the "Dali Temple" in charge of the prison.

After talking about the outer city, we have to talk about the inner city, that is, the imperial city.

Here is divided into two areas, inside and outside, the inside is the courtyard where the emperor's family lives, divided into north and south, the general name is "Da Nei Yuan".

They are divided into the following categories according to the group of residents.

The hall of the residence of the official family, there are "Chongzheng, vertical arch, the dormitory is called Funing Palace, Zichen, Wende, Jiying, Daqing, Wu" and other halls.

Each hall has its own use, such as the Jiying Hall "Linxuan Strategist is Yuyan"; Daqing Hall "Book of Rites and Rites"; Speaking of the martial arts hall, "reading the martial arts is the imperial Yan" and so on.

The place where the emperor's Lao Tzu Niang lives is called "Palace", and the place where he serves his Lao Tzu Father is called "Deshou Palace, Chonghua Palace, Shoukang Palace", his mother, um......

To Our Lady! It is called "Cining Palace, Cifu Palace, Shouci Palace".

As for the East Palace where the crown prince lived, because Zhao Gou had no children, in the second year of Shaoxing, he adopted Zhao Yan, the seventh grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, when he was only six years old, and he was exactly twenty-two years old this year.

In the palace, the most important thing is the residence of these three people, as for the others, it is better to introduce the pavilions and pavilions in the Great Inner Garden, such as the loss of the south of the house, Guantang, Rongrong Pavilion, Cuihan Hall, Qinghua Pavilion, Wat Mu Hall, Yinxiu, Chengbi, Yigui, Yinxiu, Bilin Hall.

and the Internet celebrity check-in place "Big Pool" in the North Inner Garden, which are all interesting places to play.

Draw down the water of the West Lake, stack the stone on the mountain, look at the flying peak from afar, and see the strange lake stone closely.

In addition to the big pond, there is also a famous building called Juyuan Building in Beiyuan.

Just divide the North Inner Garden into four places,

In the east, Xiangyuan, Qingyan, Qingshen, Meipo, Songju Sanjing, Qingxin, Platform, and Furong Gang.

In the south, Zaixin, Qingkuang, Shooting Hall, Xinxin, Canjin, Zhile, Yuanbi, Linfu, and Banzhanghong.

Xitou Huanxi, Wenxing Pavilion, Cold Spring, Jingle.

In the north, Pansong, Jianghua, Spring Peach, Dry Boat, and Tuocui.

There are many places to play and amusement, so that everyone in the palace can play "happy".

The dog and his party came to Dadu at the end of February, and Lin'an at this time was full of people wearing shizi shirts and scarves for the examination, so the "Zhihu also" floating in the air replaced the shouting of "delicious chewing", which was also a matter of course, so although everyone was a little dissatisfied with the price of 200 yuan a room for the fat store, it was acceptable, after all, people's signboard was "Although there has been no champion, but each subject will be in the jinshi".

Champion or something, ordinary candidates don't dare to ask for luxury, so the fame of this "Jinshi" is the most real expectation of the big guy, after all, it took more than half a year to come here, and it was troublesome to get a name for Sun Shan's results.

I found a place to live, quickly packed up and settled, took the file that proved that I was myself, went to the official office in charge of registering the candidates, and was busy with the examination for three consecutive days.

There are officials to participate in the imperial examination, which is more cumbersome than ordinary candidates, and the triumph of the Gongyuan, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials runs at three ends, and it is not easy to finish this day and it is also the beginning of March.

At this time, the whole city has a sense of tension, part of which is made by the candidates themselves, and the other point is that the government is purging the young people and escorting the provincial test.

"Dog, I heard that there was a homicide in the 'Wujinshi' inn yesterday, saying that it was a person from Jingnan Road and a candidate from Guangnan East Road, and the two of them fought out of anger in order to compare who was stronger, and ended up with a result of both defeats, I never thought that a dark arrow suddenly flew out of the crowd of onlookers, and the candidates on Guangnan East Road were gone!"

"Ah, Brother Pang, can the government catch the murderer?"

Yang Xiaoxiu, who was sharpening the ink for the dog, exclaimed in surprise and looked up and asked the huge Lang Dao who was squatting at the door of the house and sharpening the knife.

Hearing the question, Da Da Lang shook his head and said, "What are you going to catch, so many people were around to watch the excitement at that time, who do you want the yamen to arrest?" So it's all put. ”

"The official here has a good temper, as long as there is a case in us, the people around us, whether you are passing by or living at home, will all be arrested and interrogated!"

The dog made a question, and happened to hear Yang Xiaoxiu say this, so he explained to him with a smile: "This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and they can't be allowed to arrest people casually, and the murder happened in the inn at that time, and the people around must have been guests in the store, well, the 'Wujinshi' shop, I passed by the day before yesterday, and I saw that the people living in this store were all people who came to take the martial arts exam!" ”

Panglang nodded and said, "Yes, this store is full of candidates who come to take the martial arts exam!" ”

"That's right!"

The dog put down the brush, reached out and picked up the linen cloth next to him while wiping his hands and said: "I think the onlookers are all candidates, and the exam will start in three days. ”

"Isn't it!" Da Da Lang finally sharpened his waist knife, held it in one hand, put the fist-sized whetstone in his bag with the other, and sighed heavily: "Those errand soldiers just went through the motions, and they recorded the onlookers roughly and shouted to let them go, and the candidate's body was also collected by the government, and only the candidates on Jingnan Road who fought with him were shackled, and said that he would be sentenced, and it is estimated that there is no way to participate in this martial arts!" ”

During the special period, the special treatment cannot be regarded as improper handling by the government, so it can only be a candidate who has been wrongfully brawled.

"I didn't expect the people who participated in the martial arts department to be so cruel! This despicable means of killing two birds with one stone has been used! ”

Dang Lang stretched out his hand to take the tea bowl handed by the dog, took a sip, and said viciously: "The fame obtained by such despicable means is also worthy of the official clothes rewarded by the official family?" ”

The dog looked at him with an indignant face, sighed and comforted: "Alas, we can't control this kind of thing!" ”

The three of them were silent for a while, and Yang Xiaoxiu next to him suddenly spoke:

"Fortunately, Brother Wang Hou and Brother Fourteen didn't come here, otherwise it would be bad if they were poisoned!"
