Their four-wheeled/big donkey carts made their trip comfortable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two students who were driving the bus were chatting on Twitter, although they claimed to be familiar with Lin'an City, but it was the first time they had gone in this way.

The four professors in the carriage also lifted the bamboo curtain from time to time to look outside, and the scenery along the way was not bad.

The road was still a little bumpy, but their speed was slow, so it wasn't too bumpy overall.

Wu Dapeng said: "The people on the road didn't care too much about our ......"

Song Ziqiang said proudly: "How did they know about this steering technology?!" ”

Wu Dapeng said: "It's better that no one cares about us ...... forever"

But it backfired.

Bowie stopped the four-wheeled/big donkey cart.

What's wrong?

Bao Wei pulled down the hand brake, jumped out of the car quickly, and said, "The barricades that I mentioned earlier are here." ”

Wu Dapeng pushed the car door and leaned in to look.

He saw seven or eight men standing at the junction, five strong men, and two women.

Wu Dapeng saw that two of these people were holding bows and arrows, and two were holding spears.

One of them was waving at them.

These are the barricades?!

As mentioned earlier, the Great Song Dynasty was also a period of many taxes.

Moreover, their tax collectors are still relatively miscellaneous, such as the profession of "barricade", for a long time after the founding of the Song Dynasty, "barricade" is just a person who is engaged in miscellaneous labor in the commercial tax institute, and his status is low.

However, as their exposure to taxation deepened, they became more and more valued by the government.

During this period, they were also paid, and they were paid five or six times a month, which was not low.

But in the Southern Song Dynasty, I don't know what to think, maybe because the brain was broken, they were allowed to use tax commissions as wages...... That's a bad thing.

The situation of the Song Dynasty is recorded in the "Song Hui Yao Manuscript" and the Song people's notes and novels, but the historical facts reflected are: from the available data, the records of the "blockade" collecting taxes and invading the people are more after the Zhen and Ren dynasties, which coincides with the active period of the development of the commodity economy in the Song Dynasty at that time.

After the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the number of "barrages" not only increased, but also the activities were frequent.

Their footprints began to go out of the county to collect taxes, and most of them were active in the traffic channels and riverbanks that merchants had to pass.

Their original public duty of intercepting merchants and collecting taxes has gradually turned into illegal acts that disrupt the country's economic order and people's lives

By the Southern Song Dynasty, they were becoming more and more rampant, and even women were on the scene.

The increase in the number of barrages, of course, reflects from a certain angle that the "township" level market in the Southern Song Dynasty developed along with social and economic development, and the speed of this development, especially from the perspective of the increase in the number of township primary markets, the Southern Song Dynasty greatly surpassed the Northern Song Dynasty.

Everyone studied these materials in advance and said, "I really didn't expect that there were so many private checkpoints and arbitrary tax collection during the Great Song Dynasty......

At that time, Wu Dapeng said happily: "Let's have fun...... This also just shows that the Great Song Dynasty can let you do business at will, let you move at will, and in the Ming Dynasty, you can't go anywhere without a road guide. We are willing to trade money for freedom.

In short, there is an evil nature in the development of this history, probably learned from Yuan Meng? ”

Well, in the worse in history, everyone can only think that this Great Song Dynasty is still good, and it's better not to ask for other people's freedom if you ask for money.

Among those barricades were female barsmen, and they were prepared to search for the female traders, and behold, these people are really greedy.

The leaders walked up, and one of them was wearing a kind of head similar to a Jiewei and Song-style scarf, this one was called a curved wing head, which was the Great Song version of the big cap, and he was wearing a round-necked soap suit.

If his body is washed a little cleaner and there are fewer nails, it will still be a little majestic, but its dirt and shabby are really intimidating.

The man shouted as he walked: "There is no fire mark on this car, it must be a tax evasion." Bribery is exempt. ”

Damn, if you want to fine or collect taxes, you should be tactful, and you can find fault first.

Don't you understand me? I'm not a truck, what kind of trafficking fire stamp money do I pay?

After the person arrived in front of him, Wu Dapeng looked down at him, but he was about 1.634 meters, not very strong, but he looked like he was standing tall and raising his belly, and at first glance, he was used to eating his mouth, fearless, and very confident.

Wu Dapeng didn't want to do much, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I don't know how much?" ”

"Do you have tea in the car? Is there a tea lead? "The man is not in a hurry to ask for money again, and seems to want to ask for more.

"Absolutely nothing! This car is a passenger car, not for transporting goods, it is all luggage......"

"Luggage, you have to pay taxes!"

Wu Dapeng said nonchalantly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" ”

The man waved his hand behind him.

Two men with guns and two men pretending to draw bows put the guy in their hands down.

The man said, "Do you have a female family member in the car?" Or can I have the female stop head check ......"

"No ......"

The man stepped forward directly, looked at the door of the car, sniffed with his nose, and didn't pay attention to the other people in the car, or he was confident.

After he smelled it, he turned his head and said, "Fortunately, if you don't have tea to attract tea, then you are selling smuggled tea...... To know ......"

Wu Dapeng continued: "Corrupt officials in the Great Song Dynasty will not be guilty of capital crimes, but they will die if they smuggle 20 catties of tea......

The man suddenly smiled happily, showed a mouthful of rotten teeth, and said, "Extremely, extremely...... You're an interesting talker, and that's what I thought of...... Hahaha. ”

In the end, I didn't know what the name of the money was after counting their 200 yuan, so I don't want to know it.

Of course, no receipts will be given.

The man smiled and said: "Look at your little coachman, you know that you are from overseas, you are all good men, but you speak very pleasantly, ten miles ahead, there are a few blockades, but you can turn right, you can also go to the ...... of Lin'an City"

Wu Dapeng almost wanted to pat him on the shoulder, it's not about money, it's easy to get along with such people.

One money, one wine and meat, he can help you do anything.

However, presumably this kind of body language is not popular at this time, and the two said goodbye happily.

Song Ziqiang didn't pull the roof cover up until he got into the car, and buckled the micro-flush safety in the big sleeve.

If there was any change just now, he dared to guarantee that none of those guys would be able to escape.

Everyone is back on the road.

Guo Beyu whispered: "Old Bao, I found a secret...... The professors must have great guys in their hands......"

Bao Wei drove the donkey cart seriously and said, "Don't speak, Professor Wu has said, don't call them professors outside, call the master's house...... The guy in their hands must be extremely powerful, and if they don't let me touch it, they must be afraid that my love will hurt ......"

In the carriage, everyone admired Wu Dapeng's proper response, Song Ziqiang said: "It has to be the director of the big bird, if it's me, look at his forced appearance, either I won't speak, or I will directly break them out!" ”

Wu Dapeng said: "To be honest, what I'm most afraid of is that you suddenly become impulsive, if this person has been honest for a long time, if he suddenly has the ability, he is particularly impulsive...... I say seriously, Qiangzi, next time you won't be the first to do it, unless we all do...... We are looking for money, not for trouble. ”

Song Ziqiang agreed with a smile, and no one else had snatched him and leaned out just now.

They listened to the words of the previous stopper, turned to the right, and ran to Lin'an City from another road.

Fortunately, Bao Wei and Guo Beyu are both knowledgeable about the road, and the roads and stone bridges here began to be dense.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, it was the peak period of the development of "town and township" level areas, and there was a phenomenon that some villages slowly began to merge with each other, and the development from villages to the administrative level of towns and townships continued to appear.

This can also be supported by the collection of commercial tax.

For example, there are two places in She County, Huizhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yan Temple and Xinguan, which were not officially established before the fifth year of Shaoxing (1135).

However, because they had "business gatherings", the government sent officials to "collect taxes".

In the third year of Shaoxing (1133), the commercial tax income of the rock temple has reached more than 6,300 yuan, and the commercial tax income of the new museum has reached more than 2,100 yuan.

Because of the good economic benefits of these two places, the local officials applied to the imperial court to upgrade the two places to towns.

Before the establishment of the town, the two places of Rock Temple and Xinguan were obviously lower than the village level of the town.

If it were not for the bizarre rise of the Yuan and Mongolian dynasties, and then interrupted their development, even if it was only one or two hundred years later, in the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, not counting the coastal and riverside areas, even if it was inland, I am afraid that several huge urban agglomerations would naturally form...... But do they have that chance?

After passing through Yuhang County, they were about to arrive at Lin'an City, and they found that the towns they passed through began to have the appearance of satellite cities, which proved from another angle that this was the peak of rural townshipization.

The four-wheeled/donkey cart began to slow down, and there were more and more people outside the car.

The people in the carriage kept lifting the bamboo curtain to look out, this is still a place far away from Lin'an City, which is obviously more lively than Lin'an County.

Wang Defa said: "This is like Buji Town in Shenzhen......

Everyone agrees.

They ate in a restaurant and drank two corners of wine; Their donkeys also ate and drank water with a few camels.

Amazingly, they were able to meet camels, not horses, and of course donkeys.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When the Song dynasty moved south, it was set in Hangzhou in 1138 A.D. and renamed Lin'an.

The real people of the Great Song Dynasty, no one calls this the national capital, they think that the national capital of the Great Song Dynasty is still in Tokyo, and it is just here.

After that, they expanded the original Wuyue Palace, added the ceremonial altar temple, they dredged rivers and lakes, increased roads, improved transportation, developed commerce, handicrafts, and made it the political, economic, and cultural center of the country.

Until the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty in 1276 AD, a total of 138 years.

It is divided into an inner city and an outer city.

The inner city, namely the city of Gaozong of the Emperor Song Dynasty, is nine miles in radius, surrounds the Phoenix Mountain, starts from the Fengshan Gate in the north, reaches the Jianggan in the south, reaches Wansongling in the west, arrives at the tide gate in the east, in the imperial city, builds the palace, the hall, the building, the pavilion, and there are many palaces and imperial gardens.

The outer city crosses Wu Mountain in the south, intercepts the Wulin Gate in the north, connects the West Lake on the right, and leans on the Qiantang River on the left, which is magnificent.

There are 13 gates outside the city wall, and there is a moat outside the city.

Due to the migration of many people from the north to the south with the imperial court, the population of Lin'an Province has surged, and to the present, the entire surrounding area has a population of 1.5 million.

However, if the political and life center of Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty was still expanded in the order of Miyagi-Rie-Outer City-Suburbs, then Lin'an City in the Southern Song Dynasty has formed a polycentric structure.

A number of large-scale wholesale markets for daily necessities were formed outside the gates of their outer cities, mainly including grain, vegetables, fruits, aquatic products, meat products, etc.

The West Lake is along the shore of another central area, the buildings stand along the lake, the gardens are gorgeous, the temple has many spectators, the so-called "one color of the building is thirty miles, I don't know where to find the lonely mountain", it is like a prosperous area integrating residence, entertainment, culture and commerce, due to various reasons, the West Lake District has not been included in the Lin'an City Circle.

However, West Lake, although outside the city walls, has become an integral part of Hangzhou. Those dignitaries and nobles who enjoy the lights and singing here at night do not think that they have become countrymen by living outside the city.

The increase in the population of West Lake has created conditions for the development of social productive forces and the prosperity of commerce.

The prosperity of the urban economy of the Southern Song Dynasty not only surpassed the previous generation, showing the prosperity of modernization, but also ranked among the top in the world.

At that time, there were many handicraft workshops in Lin'an, producing all kinds of daily commodities, especially the silk weaving industry's excellent weaving skills, which could produce many exquisite and precious silk fabrics, which enjoyed a good reputation in the country.

According to the records of "Wulin Old Things" and other books, there were 440 lines of commerce in Hangzhou during the Southern Song Dynasty, and all kinds of transactions were very prosperous.

Foreign trade is quite developed, with more than 50 countries and regions such as Japan, Goryeo, Persia, and Dashi having envoy exchanges and trade relations.

The West Lake Scenic Area has been renovated to become more charming and moving, attracting many Chinese and foreign tourists; Service industries such as wine shops, tea houses, art fields, education workshops, post houses, and night markets are also thriving.

When Wu Dapeng and their four-wheeled/big donkey cart entered the Yuhang City Gate in the northwest of Lin'an City, their hearts jumped for a moment, as if they felt something.

The water under the Yuhang Bridge is flowing unhurriedly......
