Chapter 105: Luoyang

Zheng Sheng rode a horse and arrived quickly, and he arrived as promised.

Sima Xin smiled and nodded to him, and lowered the curtain of the carriage.

Wang Sui flicked his horsewhip and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

Zheng Sheng turned his head, looked at the figure not far away, suppressed his reluctance, and waved at them and shouted: "I'm leaving!" ”

Wanquan Town, near Qingliu Peak.

Wu Yunlu is wielding a hoe to reclaim the land.

On the side, Wen Wei walked over: "Zheng Sheng has already left." However, before leaving, he also sent us some neighbors. ”

Wu Yunlu raised his head, "Neighbor? ”

"Don't do it! Don't do it, Lao Tzu is a military general, but he asked me to farm? Don't do it! Don't do it! A rough voice came deafeningly.

Wu Yunlu looked over: "This is Huang Juan's person?" ”

"Yes, this guy's name is Ji Shenchao. The one that was grabbed by Zheng Sheng himself. ”

"And ...... That regular guest. Wu Yunlu frowned.

Chang Bin ignored Ji Shenchao's noise and walked up to them silently: "You two, we will be neighbors in the future." ”

"Well said, well said." Wu Yunlu arched his hand.

……

Zheng Sheng followed Sima Xin's carriage and walked slowly all the way. When passing through Nanyang, the convoy did not stop, and he did not go into the city to meet with relatives and friends.

Nothing happened all the way.

A few days later, they left Jingzhou and arrived in Xiangcheng County, Yuzhou. On this day, they came to Xiangcheng County, Xiangcheng County.

Zheng Sheng frowned, looking at the endless stream of people on the road, with thin faces and yellow skin.

"This year's harvest is not good." Sima Xin said softly.

Zheng Sheng nodded, his Wanquan Town, the harvest was quite normal. But that's because of the construction of aqueducts and waterwheels. The underground water sources of Wanquan and Negative Wu are also quite sufficient. Although there is a severe drought in summer and autumn, there is river irrigation.

But in many other places, it is completely dependent on the mountains to eat. If it doesn't rain, the people are helpless.

Moreover, "since entering Yuzhou, there have been more and more people famine. Wang Sui said.

"Jingzhou is okay this year, Yuzhou, Sizhou, and Bingzhou, these places don't seem to have rained a single summer this summer." Zheng Sheng recalled the news he had gotten earlier.

"Wang Sui, distribute some dry food to the children and the elderly. You're going to have to watch them finish eating. Don't be robbed. Sima Xin lowered the curtain.

Zheng Sheng sighed in his heart, in the face of natural disasters, the power of one person is too small. In the past few years, he finally built a canal in Wanquan Town that can irrigate the land cultivated by thousands of households. But looking at the whole of China, how small!

The difference between thousands and tens of millions!

The next journey was a journey for them to distribute food and food. Governments along the route also mobilized and began to provide relief to the victims.

Finally, half a month later, in the early part of November, they arrived at Luoyang City, the capital of the Jin Kingdom on the bank of Luoshui.

There is no doubt that this city is one of the few large cities in the world at this time.

The first time he saw it, Zheng Sheng was shocked by it.

From afar, it looks like a giant beast lying prone on the edge of the sky. As we get closer, the shock becomes more and more intense.

Big, it's too big.

Zheng Sheng stood at the bow of the ship and looked northwest, but he couldn't see the end of the city wall to the west.

Sima Xin walked over and said with a smile: "I will be in Taixuejin soon." Let's get off the boat from there and head into town! ”

Wang Sui asked suspiciously: "County magistrate, didn't the officials send someone to pick us up near Yongqiao?" Why do we have to disembark in Taigakutsu. ”

"When I first returned to Luoyang, I was still not so flamboyant and acted as good." Sima Xin said, "When you get off the boat from Yongqiao, you must go to Xuanyang Gate and cross Tongtuo Street. I, the little county magistrate, should go out of the yang gate and enter the city. ”

Wang Sui lowered his head and stopped talking.

Zheng Sheng didn't care, originally his main purpose in coming to Luoyang was to take refuge, but the "enemy" Shi Chong also arrived in Luoyang.

Not surprisingly, he will encounter a lot of trouble in Luoyang City again. However, Zheng Sheng didn't have to be afraid that Shi Chong would send someone to arrest him again, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Shi Chong should not have so much courage.

Thinking about it, the ship stopped at a crowded dock.

"This is Taixuejin?" Zheng Sheng followed and got off the boat, looking at the wide, generally neat street, the neat rows of houses, shopfronts, and the endless crowd of people.

"This pier is called Taixuejin? Is it because Taixue is nearby? Zheng Sheng asked.

Sima Xin nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Taixue is in the place north of Taixuejin. We have to go from the street west of Taixue to Kaiyangmen. ”

Zheng Sheng looked at the city wall in the distance, "Taixue is actually outside the city!" ”

Sima Xin said: "Since the former Han Dynasty, the site of Taixue has always been here, but since our dynasty, there are two national studies: Guozixue and Taixue. Taixue is here, and Guozi is on the copper camel street in the inner city. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, he was also very clear about the two Chinese schools in the Western Jin Dynasty. Taixue is a national school where the children of officials below the sixth rank can be enrolled, and Guozijian is a school where the children of officials above the fifth grade can be enrolled.

Zheng Sheng still rode on horseback. Soon arrived at the location where Taixue was.

Zheng Sheng looked over curiously, but he could only see a high wall outside, and on the wall were dead trees with green tiles and leaves, which looked quiet and elegant.

This road is also extremely wide, twenty or thirty meters wide, and divided into three roads on the left, middle and right, the left and right roads are about six or seven meters wide, and the official road in the middle is even wider.

They took the right side of the road, while those who went south took the other side. Between and on both sides of the three roads, there are willows, locusts and other trees.

Zheng Sheng was a little surprised. Because he had never seen such a rule of entry into the city before. In Jiangling, Xiangyang, and Wancheng, people passed through the city gate at will, and at most they were inspected by the county soldiers.

The capital of the Son of Heaven is just different!

Zheng Sheng looked around as he walked.

"Zheng Shizi, this is Biyong." Wang Sui approached and introduced him.

"Biyong?" Zheng Sheng was a little puzzled, he didn't have a stored memory of this word in his mind. Zheng Sheng looked back at the courtyard wall, feeling that this Biyong seemed to be the same place as Taixue.

"Oh, now this Biyong is actually a place for the crown ceremony for the weak-crowned youth, as well as some Confucian ceremonies."

"Oh." Zheng Sheng nodded and didn't say anything more.

Wang Sui scratched his head a little distressed, he felt that Zheng Sheng, as a scholar who could write the Peach Blossom Spring, should be very interested in this Biyong!

But Zheng Sheng is obviously not!

"Zheng Shizi, are you not interested in Biyong? Then on the left side of the road is the Ming Hall, where the Son of Heaven worships the heavens every year. ”

"Is that the place where the emperor worships originally been?" Zheng Sheng looked over with interest. However, all you can see is a wall, and layers of buildings.

He couldn't help but be a little disappointed. But Zheng Sheng's eyes looked into the distance a little, but he unexpectedly found another high-rise building not far away.

Zheng Sheng pointed there and asked, "What kind of place is that?" ”

"There? It should be the Lingtai. It is a spiritual platform under the rule of Tai Shi Ling, which is used to observe celestial phenomena. Wang Sui said casually.

"A celestial altar?" It's the observatory of the Western Jin Dynasty! Zheng Sheng was a little curious, but from a distance, he could only vaguely see the general appearance of the high platform.

"When you have a chance in the future, you can go over there." Zheng Sheng thought to himself.
