[Ran^文^Library][]. []. In fact, although Wu Zhi and the others saw the city from afar, they were still not close to Bianjing City, which was the same as the illusion of a dead horse running from Wangshan. 【Ran Library (7764)】

Now Wu Zhi and the others are only in Gyeonggi, but along the way, there are houses and farms, chickens and dogs everywhere. And the closer to Bianjing, the wider the road, there are brick and stone drainage ditches on the side of the road, which is planted with lotus lotus, it is the season when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the large pink lotus flowers are swaying with the wind, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

The ditch near the shore is also full of peaches, plums, pears, apricots, and miscellaneous flowers, and the beautiful scenery that looks like embroidery makes Wu Zhi, who was originally riding a horse, can't help but slow down the horse's hooves, and watch it with Bai Sheng and others who are moving in time.

On both sides of the official road, it is a garden, within a hundred miles, there is no idle land, everywhere the pink wall fine willows, the eaves are heavy, there is red makeup according to the happy Baoxie floor, there is a white-faced song near the bridge and flowing water, the scenery is picturesque, and the level is happy...... The entourage guide around him introduced Wu Zhi and others, the common people's homes with pink walls and tiles, the gardens of the gentry and wealthy merchants with high walls and eaves, and the glazed tile roofs like palaces, temples and Taoist temples......

Bai Sheng, Guan Xia and other people who have never been to Bianjing are looking around like a dirt bun, they think that Jeju Qingzhou is already a prosperous big city, but those so-called big cities ...... There seems to be no place where the scenery can match the suburbs of Bianjing.

Wu Zhi is also full of emotion, this pink wall and red tiles, pavilions and pavilions, lush and lush, is the later generations of those film and television cities and tourist attractions can not be imitated at all, even if it is completely copied according to these garden buildings, but the rich heritage of ancient buildings, but there is no trace of it.

This is the essence of the wealthy Great Song Dynasty.

There were people on both sides of the road, and there were many people who should be locals in Bianjing who saw Wu Zhi and others with their necks stretched out, and the corners of their mouths showed a smug smile, which made Wu Zhi's old face red, and immediately reminded Bai Sheng and others next to him to be deep and not to embarrass the people of Shandong.

On the wide official road, it is enough to accommodate twenty horse-drawn carriages running side by side, bustling with many carriages and horses...... There are teams of donkeys carrying round bags of grain, wheelbarrows full of flowers and charcoal, and carts loaded with pigs and sheep.

In addition to these products from the suburbs, there are also cloth and silk tea from Shuzhong, Zhaoguo paper inkstone, wool from the northwest, yellow paste from Luo, and incense medicine......

Not only on this road, but also on the various waterways leading to the thirteen city gates of Bianjing, the same picture is being staged. Like a blood transfusion, ginger and cinnamon grains, silk silk cloth wisps, mackerel whale abalone carp, stuffed salt aldehyde drums, rice and wheat grains, melons, fruits and vegetables will be placed in all directions... There is everything, and it is impossible to enter the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo Bianjing City, the most prosperous city in the world today, there is no one.

It didn't take long for Wu Zhi and others to see a sparkling big lake appear on the left side of the road, with a radius of about ten miles around, weeping willows are widely planted on the lakeside, and the pavilions of the palace towers and ancient pines and strange cypresses, strange stones and bridges complement each other...... The guide told them that this is the famous Jinming Pond, one of the four forbidden gardens of the royal family, and every festival, it will be open to the people, there are countless painting boats and pleasure boats, and there are boat races and water play...... People rushed to watch, and it was absolutely lively.

Just when everyone was itching and yearning, Wu Zhi pointed to the side of the guide again, which was a red palace wall with yellow glazed tiles on the wall, and asked the guide, "What is that place?" ”

"What a gorgeous complex......"

Before the guide could answer, Bai Shengguan, Xia Tanglong and the others looked sideways again.

"This is the legendary Qionglin Garden, it is said that the Qionghua in it is like snow, and it is a beautiful scenery in the world." Shi Qian immediately said to everyone, there was a hint of pride in his tone, as if he was showing off, indeed, this Qionglin Garden is the pride of every Song Dynasty person, and it is also a holy place in the hearts of scholars.

The guide then introduced: "Qionglin Garden is also one of the four forbidden gardens of the royal family, but it will not be open to idlers. ”

Wu Zhi was stunned, it turned out that this place was the venue for the Qionglin banquet sung in the Huangmei Opera in later generations, and all the people who could enter the banquet were all big bulls who won the Jinshi! Pity...... Wu Zhi has never had the opportunity to go inside for a meal in his life.

Wu Zhi looked at the red-walled gold-tiled building complex obsessively, and suddenly had a strong yearning in his heart, although he was a little bastard in his previous life, and he was also a profiteer in this life, but deep in his heart he also had the kind of desire for the title of the gold list inherited by every Chinese for thousands of years, and the desire to hit the horse and the royal street, as soon as he entered the Qionglin banquet, he was the protégé of the Son of Heaven from then on, or pointed out the rivers and mountains in the temple, or the local government, the book business was angry, and he scolded Fang Qiu, the vast earth, and my lord was up and down!

"It would be nice if I could be the champion!"

Wu Zhi muttered, he knew that even if he worked hard to study now, he didn't have that ability, so he still honestly became his own profiteer......

But this Qionglin feast, I must go to eat a few meals in the future!

- Wu Zhi secretly swore to the red wall of the Qionglin Garden.

"Bianjing City, it's here!"

After being reminded by the guide, Wu Zhi retracted his thoughts, looked up, and saw that in the afterglow of the setting sun, the dark blue city wall of Bianjing City was in front of him, as if towering into the clouds!

Next to the moat around the city wall are weeping willows that can't be seen at a glance, a gust of wind blows, weeping willows fluttering, Wu Zhi is also relaxed, take a deep breath, Wu Zhi and the others slowly enter the city gate.

They entered the city from the first city gate in the south-west of the outer city of Bianjing, Shuntian Gate, commonly known as Xinzheng Gate.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the picturesque garden scenery disappears, replaced by a rich breath of life

The houses on both sides of the street are lined with various types of shops.

Such as needle shop, color shop, tooth comb shop, head and face shop, tooth brushing shop, bandana shop, medicine shop, Qibao shop, white clothes shop, belt shop, velvet shop, crown shop, pouring tin shop, light pai shop, cloud ladder silk shoe shop, silk knot shop, flower shop, folding fan shop, green caster fan shop...... Almost every type of commodity, there is a franchise, a wide variety, you can choose.

In addition, there are medical outpatient clinics, Damu repairs, fortune telling, face trimming and plastic surgery, all walks of life, all-inclusive. At the head of the large store, there are also two or three storey high-building Cai Lou Huan Door, and the brightly colored and gorgeous market banners are hung to attract people's attention and attract business.

In the market, the pedestrians under Huanmen are shoulder to shoulder, and the river is endless, including merchants from the Western Regions leading camels, merry scholars shaking folding fans, gentry watching the street scene, officials riding horses, hawkers, family members riding sedan chairs, monks carrying baskets, tourists from other places asking for directions, children from the streets and alleys listening to stories, children of wealthy families drinking in restaurants, and disabled elderly people begging on the edge of the city......

Men, women and children, Shinong, industry and commerce, three religions and nine streams, all gathered on the streets of Kaifeng City, jointly deducing a prosperous picture of a peaceful and prosperous era.

Wu Zhi was secretly speechless, the situation in front of him was not the realistic version of the Qingming Riverside map, Wu Zhi inexplicably had some tears in his eyes, came, saw, felt, and felt that this life was worthwhile.

Wu Zhi and others easily heard the news of the proud building from passers-by, and it seems that the proud building is doing a good job in Bianjing's advertising, and everyone knows it so quickly.

There are two proud buildings in Bianjing City, there is one in the south and north of the city, all of them are created by Brother Yun, according to passers-by, the proud building in the north is close to the palace, it was originally the largest and tallest Fan Lou in Bianjing, and it was bought by the wealthy proud building shopkeeper, and then changed to hang the signboard of the proud building.

This Fan Lou can be very famous, even if Wu Zhi has heard its name in Qingzhou, the legend Fan Lou is the most luxurious restaurant in Bianjing, because of its proximity to the palace, when Emperor Renzong reigned before, he was noisy every night by the singing and dancing music in the Fan Tower, and some ministers suggested closing the Fan Tower, but Emperor Renzong stopped by Emperor Renzong, who loved the people like a son.

Renzong said that the people sang and danced every night to promote peace, which shows that the people live a rich and happy life, and the people are living well, and I am naturally happier as the emperor. In this way, don't disturb the people for fun, the palace is so big, I'll sleep in a different place.

Since then, Fan Lou has been used by the people of the Great Song Dynasty as a tourist attraction to commemorate Emperor Renzong's love for the people has been prosperous to this day, no matter who opens a restaurant in Fan Lou, the big plaque of Fan Lou must be hung on the plaque of the restaurant, and it can never be taken off.

Wu Zhi is also very appreciative of Brother Yun's ability to win Fan Lou, and it seems that Brother Yun has implemented Wu Zhi's sentence "to open the proud building into the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Bianjing" very thoroughly.

After inquiring about the road of Fan Lou, Wu Zhi and the others went directly there, Bianjing City is very large, Wu Zhi estimated that he was afraid that it would be dark when he arrived at Fan Lou, but this happened to be just right, Wu Zhi was reluctant to make a noise about this trip.

The street is very wide, very clean, although there are many shops on both sides, people come and go, but the greening is also very complementary, every turn of a street, there are rows of various landscape trees on both sides of the leafy branches, these trees are some years, the most impressive thing for Wu Zhi is a street with two rows of thick plane trees, the plane leaves are large, the street is dense and opaque, and walking in is like walking into a tunnel.

However, there are all kinds of trees planted on both sides of the streets in the city, but there are no willow trees, which is also related to the ancients who believed that planting willows in front of the door is not good for feng shui.

At intervals on the street, there is a "manhole cover" on the ground, yes, this is really a manhole cover for sewers, but it is hewn out of a single stone slab. The sewers of Bianjing City are famous in later generations, and even Wu Zhi has heard of it, but now people don't call it a sewer, but a ditch.

Speaking of the underground ditches in Bianjing, that's really ...... It's spectacular.

This is also to blame Zhao Guangyi, who did not let his brother move the capital back then, and as a result, Kaifeng City, a broken place with gentle terrain, has no danger to defend during wartime, not to mention, as long as it rains in peacetime, there will be waterlogging. Because of this, the builders of the past generations have tried their best to build underground drainage facilities for Bianjing.

There is a saying that sewers are the conscience of a city, and some urban surface projects in later generations are very beautiful, a scene of a modern developed city, but when it comes to heavy rain, it is exposed, and there is waterlogging everywhere......

The drainage system of Bianjing City is not inferior to the first-tier cities in later generations, after more than 100 years of construction, several feet underground in Bianjing City, has formed a spider web-like underground waterway. The main roads of these waterways are generally as high as one zhang and one zhang wide, and at some hubs, there are even two or three zhang high, the size of a football field.

Not only can you walk, but you can also run horses, and you can also hold boats in the rainy season.

This is not an exaggeration, the Song Dynasty urban drainage technology was very developed, and Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province was still using the sewer system built by the Song Dynasty even a thousand years later, and the city of Ganzhou in the Song Dynasty was placed in Bianliang, which was almost equivalent to the small county town of Beijing in later generations......

It was this superb sewerage technology that enabled China to have cities with a population of more than one million in the Song Dynasty, and until 700 years later, the twin cities lit up by the so-called light of civilization - Paris and London, were still filthy like large toilets, with dung and water flowing everywhere, stinking and stinking, not to mention the sewers and even thatched pits, and people would quietly find a corner to solve when they were in a hurry......

But we are not qualified to laugh at others, because at that time, even the people under the roots of the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty were also a virtue.

However, with the influence of the industrial revolution in the West, urban infrastructure developed rapidly, but the Qing Dynasty was ......
