In recent years, the resources at hand have gradually increased, and the inflow and collection of a large number of classic materials provide three credible basis.

First, it is related to the fact that the core area of the Central Plains is located in the tropics, subtropics, and middle temperatures, and the birthplace of the early civilization of the Central Plains is in the northwest of today's Xianguo, as well as the great plains in the southeast area bordering Changsun. The climate is warm and humid, and the abundant products provide a large amount of land for the breeding population.

At the same time, the Central Plains is dominated by plain forests, and there are large plains between a large area of primeval forests rather than hills, so that migratory populations can develop along the plains, thus skipping the process of clearing mountains and logging and fighting for land.

Another point is that China does not have, the Central Plains rivers and lakes network is extremely developed, roughly forming a pattern of five vertical, four horizontal and nine large rivers, the big rivers are connected to each other by the big river system, and there are large lakes between the water systems and countless water networks and rivers to connect, most of the banks of the big rivers and lakes are fertile vast plains, and the Central Plains people continue to expand outward based on rivers and lakes.

Second, there are few indigenous people on the outside and a long coastline.

The Central Plains civilization originated in Beihai, while the Chinese civilization originated from the inland of the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins, far from the coast, and it was not until the Xia and Shang dynasties that the sphere of influence reached the Shandong Peninsula.

The people of the Central Plains were able to understand the sea earlier, and took advantage of the long coastlines of the North Sea and the West Sea to expand to the east and west. Coupled with God's favor, more than eighty percent of the inland areas of the coastline are warm and humid plains.

In less than three or four hundred years, such an expansion would bring all the land within hundreds of miles of coastline into the sphere of influence, and then advance from the coast to the interior, through the plains and rivers.

In this process, it is inevitable to have conflicts with the local natives, but there are few records of large-scale resistance in the relevant classics, which means that the Central Plains people have been relatively smooth in expanding their territory.

Unlike the beginning of the Xia Dynasty in China, the Baiyue Yi people in the Lingnan region hindered the southward pace of the Central Plains, until Qin Shi Huang sent 500,000 troops to the south to conquer the counties of Lingnan, thus sweeping away the Baiyue, and since then all the south of the Yangtze River has been included in the Chinese territory.

Third, the culture of the Central Plains was inclusive, the productive forces were relatively advanced at that time, the system was perfect, the army was standing up, the organization was regularized, the bow and arrow long-range weapons and horses were domesticated, and the mobile force appeared, and it had an all-round military advantage.

Even if they encounter indigenous tribes, they salute first and then soldiers, and most of them use food and livestock as temptations, and then set up strongholds, and include them in the naturalized people, and those who do not obey will be conscripted by force until they surrender.

After more than 2,000 years of continuous expansion, the ruling power of the Central Plains Dynasty has reached the limit of the feudal system, and even the territory of the feudal country is too strong. In such a reciprocating cycle, and the communication is backward, the Central Plains will never be able to get out of the strange circle of separation.

When the country's strength and elite class were divided into a large number of feudal classes, the country's technological progress was greatly weakened, which is why the early Jin Xuedi people were completely backward in the Central Plains, and then they were able to surpass them in an all-round way. Their territory is relatively small, and the iron ore is extremely rich, and under the superposition of multiple factors, the Central Plains will also lose the upper hand.

It was late September to enter the Liang Kingdom, and it was the second day of October to arrive at the capital Jinye, and the road was two and a half months away, which was still the speed of the regular march on horseback and car, and if the infantry army often marched, it would take more than half a year.

The Liang State started with trade, and the capital city of Jinye was also built on the seaside, and the city model reached an astonishing circumference of sixty miles, and the city was five zhang high, which was comparable to the main city of Qianyue Mountain.

The news of Bailiyan's entry into the central government reached Jinye early in the morning, and the Son of Heaven arranged for Ji Kang, the son of Antai Hou Jitong, and Li Yi, the son of Jing Shanggong, to go out of the city to greet them, and Liu Boxun, the permanent envoy of Xian State to Liang State, went out of the city to greet them.

Although there were preparations, the city of Jinye was very different from that of Chenling, and it was inevitable that there would be some disappointment.

Bai Liyan knew before that Jinye City, which was once prosperous, was now far inferior to Chenling, but when she first entered the city, she didn't think that the gap would be so big.

During the reign of Bailiyan, the municipal construction was drastically standardized, and the city was standardized as much as possible into a block of markets and neighborhoods such as Tang Chang'an City, but it was not closed and forbidden at night. Through measures such as partial demolition, urban merger, and the construction of functional facilities, the roads have been widened, the land use has been standardized, and a good business environment has been created under the premise that the pattern is largely unchanged.

On the other hand, Jinye is at best slightly better than the Chengling 30 years ago, but the main road is still narrow, barely enough to accommodate two ordinary two-wheeled carriages in parallel, or an ordinary four-wheeled chariot, and it is very difficult for the Xianguo four-wheeled carriage to go on the street.

Noisy shops and markets on both sides of the road are opening shops in a disorderly manner, and the explosion of commercial development has crowded out the already small number of people, and dirty and disorderly people can be seen everywhere, and the homeless people are even passing through in groups or even in groups, begging everywhere, and even causing chaos in law and order.

With the rise of commerce in the city, the boundary between the common people and magnates in the west of the city and the east of the city no longer existed, and a large number of commoners in the west of the city either accepted demolition and became employees of employers in the city, or ran small businesses to make a living, and some chose to go to the countryside to work as farmers after being dispatched.

In short, there are almost no civilian shantytowns in the current tomb, and instead of buildings and shops, they have become assets for the nouveau riche and the rich to compete for profit.

Jinye is also regarded as the leading large-scale commercial city in the Central Plains Continent, and it is not difficult to hear from Ji Kang's mouth that Liang Guo has also continued to follow the example of Xianguo and encourage the development of private commerce over the years, and the overall effect has been somewhat effective.

In Ran Bailiyan's view, the commercial development of the Liang State was still metaphysical in nature, and it still did not get rid of the basic monopoly of the aristocracy on the market and resources.

It is not possible to gradually carry out political reforms, open up the middle and lower reaches of market resources, mobilize the enthusiasm of the market and people, and rationally allocate resources through the state's macroeconomic regulation and control and free market mechanism. Therefore, the prosperity of the Liang State was superficial prosperity, and there was no substantial change in the fundamental economic structure and deep-seated contradictions.

In addition, the conservative management and administrative measures have missed the use of its apparent prosperity to feed back agriculture and deepen the development of cropping to high-efficiency aquaculture, but on the contrary, the benefits brought by the superficial prosperity have gone into the pockets of the elite class, and they have gradually lost their enthusiasm for continuing to expand, and the people have not benefited much from it.

It was already afternoon when he entered the city, and according to the official arrangement, Bai Liyan should stay at the Xianguo Legation that had been opened earlier. Bailiyan only took the entourage and money to the legation, looked at it, and took her family to see her sister Bailiyan.

Jinye is the capital of the Son of Heaven, so there is a very peculiar place, the capitals and cities of various countries are laid out in the north and facing south, only the capital of the Liang State is sitting in the south and facing the north, so the residence of the magnates and the heavenly palace are in the south of the city, which is roughly a consideration for the Chinese emperor to sit in the north and face the south.

The Central Plains is located in the southern hemisphere, the sun is in the north in winter, the sun crosses the equator line in summer and moves southward, the northern hemisphere sits in the north and faces south, and the corresponding in the southern hemisphere should sit in the south and face north, with the spirit of the emperor.

And the southern hemisphere sits in the north and faces south, there is a big trouble, the winter carries the sun, and the summer faces the sun, so the winter is cold to death, and the summer is hot to death, so the folk craftsmen invented the double-layer tile.

Using the phenomenon of air convection generated by the pores between the two layers of tiles, a layer of double-layer tiles is laid on the roof, and when the temperature of the lower layer of the tiles is low and the temperature outside the world is high, the convection begins to produce the effect of air supply.

Knowing of Bailiyan's arrival, her sister Bailijuan was extremely happy and prepared a small banquet to entertain her younger brother who came from afar.

Li Dai and Bai Lijuan married after the husband and wife are in love, Li Dai never married a concubine for life, the two gave birth to a son, a daughter and two children, the eldest son Li Yi, the second daughter Li Xuan, the two married and beautiful, in the Liang country as a good story.

"Jing Shanggong" was knighted after Li Kuo, the last Xiangguo of the Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 600 years. The Liang Dynasty was extinguished, and Li Kuoli of the Xiangguo Dynasty overrode the public opinion, surrendered the Liang Dynasty on half of the river, and was later sealed in Jingshang City by the founding son of the Liang Dynasty, and was given the title of duke, which is the longest known title.

In the past dynasties, Jing Shanggong rarely participated in politics, but there was no shortage of talents, and his children also joined the army. Although he does not participate in politics, he is also a powerful person close to the core ruling class, and he is also a nobleman who can speak well in Liang.

Bai Liyan vigorously promoted reform in Xianguo, Li Dai because of Bai Lijuan's sister and brother, Jing Shanggong's status has been far better than in the past, and the weight of his speech is naturally different.

However, Li Dai is more honest, and Li Yi's generation is even worse, with unique administrative and economic resources, but there is no decent interest group in operation over the years, and he still runs his own business, and he does not know how to fight for survival space, so he is content with the status quo, but it makes the Son of Heaven Ji very relieved.

The next day, Bailiyan brought the book of the Xian Kingdom to meet the new Son of Heaven Ji Tao with Liu Boxun, and mourned the tomb of the Son of Heaven, and presented the "Golden Seal Tuo" of the Xian Kingdom.

"Golden Seal Tuo" is the rubbing of the jade seal of the princes, a square gold plate carved with gold, but whenever the Son of Heaven dies, the vassal states will offer the gold seal to show their submission.

Unlike ancient China, the ancient Chinese dynasties took the confiscation of the jade seal as the final symbol of the overthrow of the previous dynasty, and now the golden seal of the previous dynasty symbolizes the end of a dynasty.

The coffin of the Son of Heaven was buried 40 days ago, and the envoys of the princes did not have time to mourn those who could pay homage to the mound to express their sorrow.

However, most of them are formal, and the real highlight is the new monarch's accession to the throne after the death of the Son of Heaven. Ji Tao has nominally officially taken over the power of governance, but has not yet held an enthronement ceremony.

First, the mourning period of the Son of Heaven lasts for three months, and only after the mourning period can he choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne. So the new monarch ascended the throne, and all the countries came to the court, and it was inevitable to congratulate the new monarch on his accession to the throne, and then there was a large amount of "money" expenditure.

Of course, it can not be released, but the consequences are obviously not too good, not to give face to the first emperor, but also to embarrass the new emperor, since ancient times, few princes have dared to do this, even if they want to rebel tomorrow, they have to pretend to be grandsons today. For this reason, King Xian prepared a sum of money and treasures, saying that more is not much, and saying less is enough to town.
