There are more than 30 miles from Yuelong Village to Splendid City, and it is 1,380 kilometers from Splendid City to Kaifeng Mansion.

From Splendid City to Kaifeng Mansion, you have to pass through a city, which is now the famous Jingdezhen.

Jingde is the era name of the third emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong, who was emperor for twenty-six years. It can be regarded as doing a few things that have an impact on the Dao, such as the famous alliance of the Abyss in history, which was signed during the Zhenzong period.

Song Zhenzong also performed the last canonization in the history of the Chinese Empire, and established the Jade Emperor as the supreme god above the heavenly court.

It is a large-scale ceremony for the ancient emperors to worship heaven and earth in the peaceful and prosperous times or when the heavens descend auspiciously. In ancient times, the third dynasty of Xia Shang had the legend of sealing Zen.

The ancients believed that Mount Tai is the highest among the mountains, and it is "the first mountain in the world", so the emperor of the world should go to the highest Mount Tai to worship the emperor of heaven, so as to be ordered by the sky.

Build soil on Mount Tai as an altar to sacrifice to the sky, repay the merits of the sky, and call it sealed;

Under Mount Tai Liang Father or Yunyun and other hills to set up a sacrifice to the ground, repay the work of the land, called Zen.

This is the highest ceremony of the ancient emperors, and only when the dynasty changes, the country changes hands, or after a long period of turmoil, resulting in peace in the world, can the world be sealed, report to the heaven and earth to reorganize the great feat, and at the same time express the acceptance of the mandate of heaven and govern the world.

All the way to Jingdezhen, so I took a short rest in Jingdezhen.

It is a city named after the emperor's year, and it is also the only city in the entire history of China to be named after the emperor's year.

Jingdezhen began to burn porcelain from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Jingdezhen in history was not only an official kiln, but also an imperial kiln.

Jingdezhen kiln has fired celadon since the Tang Dynasty, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was mainly fired celadon. Its porcelain glaze is white and slightly green, this kind of white in the blue, green in the white color glaze, for the new creation of Jingdezhen kiln, its tone gives people a fresh and refreshing feeling. Qingbai porcelain is mostly light, and there are also carved flowers.

Some knowledge can be seen from books, while there is some knowledge that is not available in books. When Mei Xiaohan really entered this ancient city, he found that there were many things he didn't understand.

That's about the difficulty of the porcelain firing process, because even the best master who burns porcelain with firewood has a yield of only 20 to 50 percent.

This means that at least half of all porcelain will eventually end up firing in failure.

At the door of a porcelain shop, a porcelain seller saw Mei Xiaohan's extraordinary momentum, so he whispered in his ear: "This guest officer, I have porcelain fired for the emperor here!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "A small porcelain shop actually has such a big breath!" ”

In fact, ten or more pieces of porcelain were burned for the emperor at a time, and it was hoped that one piece would be sent to the imperial palace. However, the royal porcelain could not flow to the people, and could only be broken on the spot.

Even if it is broken, there are rules, you must first poke a hole in the bottom with a sharp object, and then use a blunt object to break it.

After so many procedures, it is very rare to be able to survive and enter the people.

Mei Xiaohan was just passing through Jingdezhen and didn't think about stopping longer, so she decided to continue on her way.

The shopkeeper saw that Mei Xiaohan had no intention of buying porcelain, so he said, "Childe, don't you believe what I said?" ”

Ordinary people can't use it casually, there will be a fatal disaster, Mei Xiaohan doesn't want to cause trouble because of this.

In addition to wanting to go to the bustling Kaifeng Mansion to have a look, the other purpose of this trip is to sell the things he brought.

However, life is full of accidents, and not all of them are smooth sailing.

When Mei Xiaohan arrived outside Kaifeng, it was dawn, the streets were a little deserted, and the night market had already ended.

It's a pity that I didn't experience Kaifeng's night market, but it didn't matter much, because Mei Xiaohan planned to stay in Kaifeng for a few more days!

At this moment, not far from his eyes is the most prosperous metropolis in this country, Kaifeng!

As soon as Mei Xiaohan entered Kaifeng Mansion, the first thing she did was to find a first-class inn.

"Liansheng Inn!"

The person who lived in this inn with Mei Xiaohan was a fat man, to be exact, a fat man who came to Beijing from other places.

Like Mei Xiaohan, this fat man also came to Kaifeng for the first time.

The two met in the restaurant of the inn, greeted each other politely, and after saying hello, the two went back to their rooms.

However, the next day, something happened.

It turned out that this fat man came to Kaifeng to participate in the selection of officials, and to participate in the selection of officials, he must first submit his personal resume and application registration form to the Ministry of Officials.

Whether it is an official or a civilian, the first time they came to Kaifeng, they had the same experience, that is, they didn't know anything about everything.

The same is true of this alternate officer, who happened the night he stayed at the inn.

This fat man had been looking and wandering in front of Shangshu Province before, looking stupid.

The guys at the Liansheng Inn had already noticed him, so they decided to blackmail the fat man hard.

On the second day, when Mei Xiaohan woke up, she found a fat man lying naked on the ground, and she was very surprised.

However, this fat man was really fatal, and he had already fainted with a rope, but he did not die.

When he woke up, he rushed out of the door like a madman, running and jumping, although he knew that he had been hacked, but now it was most important to run for his life.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it should be peaceful and prosperous, but there are murderous people hiding in the world, which is really incredible!

The metropolis of the Song Dynasty has begun to take shape, especially Kaifeng Mansion!

To a large extent, the physique of the Song Dynasty was based on the Song and Tang dynasties, but this does not mean that their urban planning was exactly the same.

The fat man's affair made Mei Xiao feel cold, and he really couldn't imagine what accidents would happen to sleeping in a hacker stack.

After a false alarm, Kaifeng Mansion sent someone to investigate the inn.

The items brought by Mei Xiaohan were well preserved, and they were not discovered by the ill-intentioned black shop guys. Otherwise, the next day, there could be a pile of meat lying there!

After a simple meal, Mei Xiaohan was going to find a market to sell the items he brought, but the scene that happened in the black shop made him decide not to stay longer.

At the door of a store, Mei Xiaohan said hello to the boss, took out a tael of silver, and said with a smile: "I am a merchant from other places, and I don't know the rules very well!" So I'd like to ask you a few questions! ”

When he saw the silver, the boss naturally greeted him with a smile and said, "Little brother, you don't have to be polite, it's not easy to go out!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "I came from a small place, and I am not very familiar with Kaifeng Mansion, because I am in urgent need of silver, so I want to find a market to sell some of my own items!" ”

The boss said: "You are asking the right person, if you want to sell something, you must be right to find me!" ”
