Chapter 1009: The Consequences of Not Learning and Not Knowing

Drink Dongpo at night to wake up and get drunk - this old man did it too?

Zhao Xing's feet were weak and he rolled into the water. Cheng Xun Cheng Xia saw the teacher suddenly fall into the water, and hurriedly jumped into the water to rescue. Huo Xiaoyi didn't care about the boat, jumped into the water, and waited until Zhao Xing was salvaged, and heard him say to himself as if he was stunned: "Oh my God! I have no face to see people - I actually patted Su Dongpo on the shoulder and praised and said, 'Good poetry, good poetry'. ”

It is the Chinese who do not know who Su Dongpo is - the unlucky egg in Chinese politics. An immortal idol of Asia for thousands of years.

A thousand years later, historians of Japan, Korea, and Vietnam wrote with great humility that in the second half of the eleventh century, the whole of Asia was in the era of Su Dongpo.

Such a person, Zhao Xing actually patted the shoulder of the thousand-year-old idol and praised the other party's poetry for being good......

What's going on?!

Perhaps, this moment will also be recorded and become a thousand-year-old joke. And Zhao Xing is the protagonist in the joke.

On the shore, the two widows had already lifted the bamboo basket quickly, and the clogs made a crisp sound, and followed Su Dongpo at a trot.

Zhao Xing walked through the Huangzhou wharf with half shame and half shock, and followed the boat towards the mouth of the lake.

After entering the mouth of the lake, the river suddenly opens up, the sail shadow is dotted, and the white cranes are flying, which is completely a scene of fishing singing at night.

This is the granary of the Great Song Dynasty, and the rice produced here bears more than 50% of the grain output of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, due to excessive reclamation, there were signs of desertification in northern regions, such as Shandong, where the forest coverage rate was 46% in 2700 BC. By the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were nearly 260,000 hectares of cultivated land on Jingdong Road, which meant that the entire Shandong region was completely reclaimed even in the mountainous areas. In many places, there have been bare rocks in Guangshan - Shen Kuo said: "Now the pine forests in Qilu are exhausted, and gradually to Taihang, Jingxi, and Jiangnan, and most of Songshan are children!" ”

It is estimated that in 1700 A.D., the forest coverage rate of Shandong was only 1.3%, which was the lowest in the country.

At the same time, the development of the Poyang Lake area is in the ascendant.

Poyang Lake was known as Pengli Lake in ancient times. In the Tang Dynasty, the lake circumference has reached more than 200 kilometers. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Pengli Lake quickly spread to the east and south, approaching the county seat of Poyang, thus having the name of "Poyang Lake". Compared with Pengli Lake in the Tang and Song dynasties, Poyang Lake in the Yuan Dynasty has expanded into a "vast and vast, boundless with the sky" Poyang South Lake. The plain formed by the alluvium of the Poyang Lake water system is about 20,000 square kilometers.

During the Yuan You period, Dujie wrote "Seven Talks on Poyang", "The benefits of the catfish in the lake, the ointment of 70,000 hectares, and the prosperity of the silkworm cocoon"; "The abundance of trees and plants at the foot of the forest, the derivation of aquatic plants, vegetables and fruits, and the wealth of fish, turtles, poultry and livestock." Hongzhou, Jiangzhou, Raozhou, Nankangjun and other areas in the lake area are all important areas for rice production, "its fields are suitable for Qinxu, and its millet is exported to Beijing, which is the most in the world."

The formation of the grain production base in the Poyang Lake area of the Song Dynasty was mainly the instruction of the war, the Song Dynasty carried out a long-term war with Vietnam at that time, after the victory of the war, the trophy was "Champa rice", this kind of rice with three crops a year entered the Central Plains, greatly increased the grain production, making the Song Dynasty the only dynasty in ancient China that did not ban alcohol, and the main planting area of "Champa rice" was the Pengli Lake area at that time.

The development of Poyang Lake had a far-reaching impact, as the land became the granary of the world, and then began to spread rice cultivation throughout the south, and in the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that "the lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full".

Poyang Lake in the Song Dynasty was the richest area in the entire Great Song Dynasty, from the moral level of the boat operators on the lake, it can be seen that they have sufficient food and clothing satisfaction, the oncoming boats, whether familiar or not, all sing and cheer to each other, the song is long and meaningful, quite like a modern boatman's horn.

Wrong, it should be said that the modern boatman's horn originated from the "fishing boat question and answer" of this era.

Zhao Xing couldn't understand the fishermen's dialect, but he liked the rhyme very much, and the leisurely singing reminded him of a famous advertisement - a hundred years of sesame paste, the old man's vicissitudes of voice echoed in the alleys, through countless times, but also through the history of the entire nation.

The river boat went down the wind and walked very fast, and the ten students in the cabin were busy tying the wooden bows. The Song Dynasty was an era of reverence for literature and military suppression, and at this time, if a literati wore a sword into the market, it would cause great panic and even social unrest. In this case, the imperial court particularly restricted the people from walking with weapons, especially the long-range attack weapon - bows and arrows, which were even more restricted.

It has become a habit for the mountain people of Chengjiaao to walk in the mountains and forests with weapons, and on this long journey, they even brought the best equipment at home with them, but because they had to pass through the Huangzhou checkpoint, the bowstrings of the bows and arrows they carried were loosened and disguised as wooden sticks, hiding the eyes of the officials at the checkpoint. Now entering the vast lake, they secretly wound their bows and arrows and armed themselves in order to deal with possible thieves.

This was also Zhao Xing's idea, he didn't know the situation of Poyang Lake before, thinking that this place was just like the description of martial arts novels, and all dynasties were bandits' dens, so he was so cautious. But when he arrived in the Lake District, he realized that it was completely unnecessary.

Facing a fisherman driving the boat and Zhao Xing's river boat passed by, the fisherman nodded while rushing to the boat on the boat, while sorting out the fishing nets, and singing a fishing song in his mouth, the lyrics of the fishing song were clear, Zhao Xing understood, it was a poem: "Pengli Lake is late, peach blossoms and water are spring." Birds fly thousands of white spots, and the sun is not half a red wheel. Why bother to move guests, no work is sick. But when this hope comes, there are few people who are not worried. ”

This poem is Bai Juyi's "Peng Lihu Late Return", but Zhao Xing does not have a few elegant bones on his body, he thinks that the old man's singing posture is extremely elegant, but he doesn't know that this is not the elegance of a fisherman, but the elegance of Bai Juyi.

"Good poems, good poems, such a masterpiece, it is incredible that a countryman can chant it casually!" Zhao Xing sighed casually.

Cheng Xia, as the son of the patriarch, is qualified to stand behind Zhao Xing, he heard Zhao Xing's emotion, and also said with deep sympathy: "Yes, teacher, when I read this poem before, I just felt that the words were beautiful, and today I am in it, and I only feel like a fairy in this situation." ”

Cheng Xia has read ...... before Zhao Xing immediately closed his mouth.

If you don't learn, you can't do it—he sighed in his heart. This poem even fifteen-year-old Cheng Xia remembers, and he doesn't know who wrote it, it's too embarrassing. It seems that in the future, we will have to be "cautious in our words and deeds".

Jiang Zhou quickly staggered with the old man's fishing boat, the children in the cabin walked up to the cabin with tied bows and arrows, and began to test the bow, there was a roaring bowstring on the deck, and Huo Xiaoyi, the penny master, saw that the children on the boat were so careless, blatantly looking for birds and fish on the deck to shoot, and couldn't help but turn the rudder and sail the boat into the center of the river to avoid interrogation.
