Chapter 169: Heading South

Fang Jing took the little girl and raised her legs to Yangzhou City, walking through all kinds of passers-by, all kinds of shelves of oxen and carriages, all kinds of porters to help merchants transport goods, such a scene, Zhan Xian indicates the prosperity of Yangzhou City in the future, if there is no flow of people from all kinds of merchants, he will not be able to see his status in the future.

With the slow flow of people into the city, Fang Jing knew why Yangzhou City would be prosperous in the future, Yangzhou City was better than Danyang City's planning, streets, houses, waterways, rivers, basically carried out in the best planning, at least to achieve the perfect situation of the current state.

"Brother, there, there, there's food." Fang Yuan followed behind Fang Jing, his eyes were very thief, and he saw a food shop not far away.

Fang Jing took the little girl to the door of the store, the store was not big, there were not many people, there were few tables, chairs and stools, mainly selling some bread and meat.

"Shopkeeper, bring four breads for our brother and sister, two plates of mutton, and two bowls of soup if there is soup." Fang Jing shouted towards the shopkeeper.

"This guest officer, please sit inside, eat immediately, sit down and rest." The shopkeeper saw Fang Jing's brother and sister coming over to ask for some food, and welcomed them into the store.

Fang Jing took the little girl and sat on the table and chair by the door casually, waiting for the food from the store to come up, sitting at the door, and looking at the pedestrians on the street, it can be regarded as a kind of leisure and leisurely enjoyment.

"Guest officer, the food is here, please use it slowly, and please call me if you have something." The shopkeeper sent the cake mutton and two bowls of soup, and said to Fang Jing with a bow.

"Thank you, I'll call you if there's something." Fang Jing said to the shopkeeper.

"Brother, this bread is okay to eat, the taste of mutton is not as delicious as that made by my brother." Fang Yuan took a bite of the bread and mutton, and said his opinion to Fang Jing.

"Well, this bread is not bad, the taste of this mutton has not been completely removed, and it has a slight fishy smell, but it is okay to eat occasionally." Fang Jing also took the bread and mutton and tasted it.

In fact, the mutton at the moment, in addition to being roasted and eaten, is cooked and eaten, and when cooking, it is definitely impossible to get a lot of spices and seasonings into it like Fang Jing, and it must not be able to completely remove the fishy smell, and it can only be suitable for the taste of the Tang people.

"Brother, let's raise more sheep, right? In the past, after the family's mountain breeding was killed, there were no sheep left. Fang Yuan bit the mutton and looked at Fang Jing with wide eyes and said.

"Okay, when we go back, we will raise a few more sheep, and then you have to feed the sheep well, otherwise if no one cares, my brother will not raise them." Fang Jing felt that it was still good to raise some sheep at home, at least she could eat some mutton every year, as for whether she would raise them when she got home, or whether she could raise them, I don't know.

"Brother, don't worry, Xiaocao and I will feed the sheep well, and we will definitely raise them and grow fat." The little girl looked excited and assured Fang Jing.

"Eat first, and then we'll have a good look around the new city, maybe we won't have a chance to come later." Fang Jing said to the little girl.

After the brother and sister finished eating, they left after paying for the meal, and began to wander along the main street, the construction of the new city was very fast, there were originally many houses here, but it did not form a city scale, and now the relocation of the office brought the construction of the new city, all kinds of materials, all kinds of people and all kinds of materials are in the emergency transfer.

"Brother, it's a mess here, there are so many things, so many people." Fang Yuan looked at the items and materials everywhere, as well as all kinds of workers, and complained to Fang Jing.

"Little sister, this is a new city under construction, you see that this new city should be almost built in a while, there must be a lot of things and people here, then let's get out of here first, let's go to the canal to have a look." Fang Jing also felt that there were too many people and things, and there were often all kinds of cows, horses and donkey frames passing by, and if they were not careful, they would be easily hit.

The brother and sister walked along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and when they came to the edge of the canal, they realized how wrong Fang Jing's decision was, at this time, there were more people on the side of the Grand Canal than in the city, and there were too many ships to transport him, and the ships were loaded with all kinds of materials.

"Brother, there are more people and things here." Fang Yuan pouted and said to Fang Jing.

"Alas, it's my brother's fault, my brother didn't expect that there were more people here, and there were more things than in the city, so let's get out of here quickly." Fang Jing was helpless in her heart, thinking that it would be good to take a stroll along the canal, but she didn't think that it would be this kind of scene.

Fang Jing took the little girl's hand and walked towards the north of the city, away from this current chaotic and crowded new city, away from the future first city of the canal.

The brother and sister then went out of the city and came outside the city, Fang Jing remembered that in his previous life, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had been buried in Jiangdu, and Fang Jing wanted to see the emperor of the Sui Dynasty who was rated as nothing in history.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, his father Yang Jian, his real name was Yang Ying, and later changed his name to Yang Guang, taking the position of the prince of his brother, after the history records that he forced his father Yang Jian to succeed to the throne, respected the name of the great cause, after his reign, built the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, destroyed Chen, conquered Tuguhun in the west, went to Gaomingli in the east, and opened the scientific examination to obtain scholars, which is the source of the imperial examination system for future generations, died in the Jiangdu mutiny, buried in Wugongtai, Jiangdu, after Zhenguan for five years, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was buried in Leitang with the imperial rite system.

Fang Jing was not allowed to comment on this Emperor Yang of Sui, who was rated as having nothing to do in the history books, at least Fang Jing thought that Yang Guang led the army to destroy the Chen Dynasty at the age of 20, ending the century-old division of China and realizing the unification of China, which is not something that can only be done by a mediocre person.

Although Yang Guang was in power, there was indeed tyranny, labor and money, but at least the merit outweighed the demerit, not only to achieve the unification of China, the construction of the Grand Canal, has brought endless blessings to later dynasties and generations, of course, these also made many people overthrow Yang Guang's cause.

Fang Jing took Fang Yuan's little hand and slowly marched to the mausoleum of Emperor Yang of Sui in Wugongtai, but it was obvious that there were already sergeants guarding it, Fang Jing didn't know why? Could it be that Li Shimin is still worried about the old ministers of the Sui Dynasty? Or are you still worried about something you shouldn't be worried about?

Fang Jing didn't know, and he didn't want to know, Fang Jing just felt that he should respect these ancient emperors, even if Li Shimin died in the future, Fang Jing would go to the mausoleum to see, Fang Jing has never belittled any ancient emperor, no matter how many years of reign every emperor is worthy of respect, even if he reigns for one day, he was once the king of Huaxia and the son of heaven of Huaxia.

"Little sister, let's go, don't let you go over to see here." Fang Jing shouted at Fang Yuan with some lack of interest, it was not that Fang Jing was unhappy, but that he felt a little depressed.

Then Fang Jing took Fang Yuan and walked to the northwest, only there were trees there, and the east and northeast directions were basically rivers and some thatch.

Fang Jing led Fang Yuan into a small forest, ran into the sky, and headed south, in the past two days, he had already seen the ancient city of Danyang, and also seen Yangzhou City, although it was a new city that was about to be built, but it could be regarded as having seen these ancient famous cities, not to mention that he had also seen Yueyang Tower and Yellow Crane Tower.

The speed of the brother and sister can be said to be very slow, not as fast as the speed of Fang Jing's plane in his previous life, so they headed in the direction of Suzhou City.

Suzhou, called Wu in ancient times, also known as Gusu, Pingjiang, called Wu County during the period of the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was changed back to Suzhou by Li Yuan during the Wude period, belongs to Jiangnan Province, Suzhou has the reputation of "garden in the world", and also has the reputation of "Oriental Water Capital", there have been many celebrities in history, such as the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Xun of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Xu of the Tang Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tang Bohu of the Ming Dynasty, all belong to the people of Suzhou, Suzhou can be said to play an indispensable role in the history of the place of outstanding people.

"Little sister, look below, there is Gusu City, also called Suzhou City, that lake is called Taihu Lake, also called Wuhu or Zhenze, the most delicious thing in this lake is Sanbai." Fang Jing pointed to the city and Taihu Lake in the distance under his feet and said to Fang Yuan.

"Brother, what is Sanbai?" Fang Yuan asked.

"Sanbai, it is the three kinds of white fish and shrimp produced in Taihu Lake, whitebait, white fish, and white shrimp." Fang Jing replied to the little girl.

"Brother, do you want to go down and catch and eat?" Fang Yuan asked curiously, hoping that Fang Jing would take her down to catch some to eat.

"No, let's just take a look and let you know the situation, and there are pearls in this Taihu Lake." Fang Jing didn't want to go on, mainly just to introduce some specific things and some things she knew to the little girl, at least to increase the little girl's knowledge.

"Okay, brother, are we going to fly all the way there?" Fang Yuan pointed to the direction further south and asked, Fang Yuan didn't care if he ate fish or not, after all, it was only fish and shrimp, and Fangjia Village also had a small river, so naturally he often ate fish.

"Well, we will go to Hangzhou City in a while, and we will live in Hangzhou City today, which is also a very famous big city, and Gu said that there is a lot of food there." Fang Jing explained to the little girl.

"Okay, brother, let's go quickly." The little girl heard Fang Jing say that she had a lot to eat, so she immediately urged Fang Jing to speed up.

"Little sister, don't worry, you won't run away after eating." Fang Jing didn't want to be too fast, anyway, there was time, so why bother with some time.

A quarter of an hour or two later, Fang Jing's brother and sister appeared in Hangzhou, Fang Jing took the little girl's hand and walked on the streets of Hangzhou step by step.

Hangzhou, in ancient times called Wulin, Yuhang, Qiantang, Song called Lin'an Xing, built along the Qiantang River, the most famous should be the West Lake and Leifeng Tower, after all, the legend of the new white lady is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although the first tower is not used to suppress the white lady, Leifeng Pagoda was built in 977 AD, used to worship the Buddha snail hair relics, the governance of Hangzhou City is located in Qiantang, of course, it is also because of the name of the Qiantang River, however, the Tang Dynasty was called Qian Tang, in order not to be the same word as the name of the Tang Dynasty, changed Qian Tang to Qiantang, And the southernmost point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is Hangzhou.

"Brother, what's that? Can you eat it? Fang Yuan pointed to a food shop outside a shop and asked Fang Jing.

"Little sister, let's go, let's go over and have a look." Fang Jing didn't know what she was selling, but when she smelled it, she knew that it must be food.

"Shopkeeper, what are you? Can you eat it? Is it delicious? Fang Jing asked the shopkeeper.

"This guest officer, of course I can eat this, you must not have eaten, this is the most famous food in our Qiantang, merchants from the north come to our Qiantang, they will definitely eat some, my steamed cake is not owned by other places." The shopkeeper said loudly to Fang Jing.

"Then bring us two siblings." Fang Jing looked at the fact that there were only about ten yuan in this steamer, it shouldn't be very expensive, try the taste first.

"Okay, please sit down inside the two guest officers, and the steamed cake will come soon." The shopkeeper welcomed Fang Jing's brothers and sisters into the store and sat down, and gave Fang Jing's brothers and sisters a drawer of so-called steamed cakes.
