Chapter 286: Hometown
Sichuan to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the implementation of the imperial examination system, Shu has become a major center of Chinese culture at that time, there is a saying at that time: "nesting in the Kuimen is a worm, rushing out of the Kuimen is the dragon." As a result, Shu exported a large number of administrative talents to the central government on a large scale for the first time, such as Chen Ziang, a famous official of the Tang Dynasty, and so on; At the same time, on the other hand, there are also many officials from other places who have been transferred in, including Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhi and other literati officials, who can also uphold the integrity of Shu and are loved by the people.
After the Anshi Rebellion of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Shu became the rear of the Tang Dynasty's strategy, and the emperor also entered Shu many times to avoid chaos, and its status was also greatly improved. For example, in the late Tang Dynasty, among the ninety-three people who served as the envoys of the Jiannan Festival, more than 40 people successively entered the court as ministers, and the officials of Shu had both ability and political integrity to be appreciated by the imperial court.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi, Su Zhe and other Sichuan clean and honest officials rose rapidly and became a fresh force in the Northern Song Dynasty, and from the Northern Song Dynasty, the Qing officials in Shu also emerged in endlessly.
So why does Sichuan produce more Qing officials? In addition to the abundant material living standards in ancient times, some people believe that this is because of the water and soil to nurture the people, or the accumulation of long-term cultural heritage, and they have a strong personality; At the same time, the officials of Shu did not have a strong party in the court for a long time, and they could not form a circle, which objectively also helped them to retain their maverick nature, treat people with leniency, and serve the public wholeheartedly, so as to be more clean officials and less traitorous ministers.
Wan Qianyang has a very thorough understanding of the history of his hometown, and it is particularly worth noting that in the next ten years, that is, during the Chongzhen period, the peasant uprisings in Sichuan are frequent, and the most noteworthy thing is that the population of Sichuan has decreased sharply in the past 20 years, especially Zhang Xianzhong has been in Sichuan for more than ten years, whether it is Zhang Xianzhong who slaughtered the Sichuan people or the Qing army entered Sichuan to kill, it will be a nightmare for the Sichuan people, so Wan Qianyang returned to his hometown this time, then he had to completely eliminate the life of these things. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of yourself to go to the Ming Dynasty.
Wan Qianyang is standing on the boat at the moment, this time the group includes Wan Qianyang's two fiancées plus Xiaocui and Xiaomei, Song Changqing and Yilin, Wei San and Li Chang and Zhuang Ming and his brothers, although there are only a dozen people in total, but they still chartered a bird boat, this ship still only has two sails but three masts, it can be seen that this ship dares to be able to go to sea, maybe because of the livelihood will come to the river to solicit business, Wan Qianyang thought of encountering the ship can not go forward after they will transfer to other ships!
Wan Qiyang knew that the Yangtze River in later generations because of the construction of reservoirs and dams, so there are many places that are different from now, but the main cities through which the Yangtze River flows he still knows, and now they are going upstream, so after getting on the boat from Jiujiang, it should first pass through Hubei, then pass through Hunan for a short time and then return to Hubei, and finally pass through Yichang is about 1,000 kilometers directly to Chongqing, and after Chongqing, it will enter the territory of Luzhou, Sichuan. But this section of the road is not clear about the current depth of the water, so these problems can only be left to the boatman to consider, after all, this requires professional experience to judge.
Wan Qiyang has just entered Hubei, and has to pass through Huangshi County, Wuchang Mansion (Ezhou), Huanggang County, then Wuhan and then to Yueyang (Hunan), and then return to Shi, Jingzhou and finally Yichang in Hubei, which is the last stop in Hubei.
There are very famous places in history along the way, and there are many historical allusions since the Xia Shang Zhou, and there will be historical allusions along the way, which is also very interesting for historical students like Wan Qiyang.
"Brother, this time we go to Sichuan, where is the destination?" Song Changqing has also been following Wan Qianyang's side, and there is Zhuang Ming next to him, he is not afraid of water at all, he has been in contact with water since he was a child, and his water nature is also very good.
"We are going to Chengdu Fucheng in Sichuan, so this time we are going home, Sichuan is my hometown, and Beijing is my second hometown." What Wan Qianyang said was very reasonable, and it also made Song Changqing very clear where the focus of Wan Qianyang's words was.
"Oh! I wonder how long it will take? Song Changqing also asked casually.
"I don't know, anyway, on the way, you really need to pass through a lot of ethnic minority territory, and I really don't know the specific situation! By the way, you don't have to wear so much when it's so hot! Don't get heatstroke, just dress like those sailors. "Wan Qiyang himself is also a single shirt with wide pants, which can still be regarded as cool, unlike Song Changqing and Li Chang, who still wear at least two layers of clothes.
"Huh? Like them? That's not going to work, they're boatmen, and besides, we're going to have weapons around! "No matter how Song Changqing says, he is also a native of the Ming Dynasty, and some of these etiquettes will be retained.
"Then it's up to you! Hehe, Zhuang Ming, let the brothers rest when they should rest. Anyway, the boatman said that we would get off the ship and rest for supplies, but we all had to be together, because if we wanted to get off the ship together, we had to get on the boat together. We are a family, don't see too much, when we return to Chengdu, we will quickly integrate into Sichuan, and we will definitely have a new home for everyone! Wan Qianyang's words made Zhuang Ming and the people around him look very happy, very happy that he was with a master, and that was really when they were brothers, they were very generous and polite to them.
"Hahaha, did you hear Li Chang, Brother Wei San and Little Brother Zhuang Ming? A good day awaits us in the future, we are really very lucky, and we are glad that we talked to the big guy, right? Song Changqing is also cheering everyone up in a timely manner, and at the same time, it is also to improve the image and momentum of Wan Qiyang Gongzi in their hearts, so that everyone is more loyal to him, which is also one of the most basic means that a left arm and right arm should have.
"Rest assured, everyone! Hahaha. I'll go to the cabin to see if they're used to taking a boat! "The reason why Wan Qiyang chose a large bird boat is also because the larger the hull, the faster and more stable it is when sailing. After all, the sails are much bigger, and the comfort is much better.
He entered the cabin and saw that Xiaomei was a little uncomfortable.
"Xiaomei, are you seasick?" Wan Qiyang looked at Xiaomei and asked Xiang Xing'er a little sluggish.
"Husband, she said she was a little disgusting and dizzy!" Apricot replied.
"That's a little seasickness, this is only the future, the next stop to the dock to buy some fruits, now it seems to produce watermelon, peaches and other fruits! Also, you should wear less clothes, and don't really get heat stroke. Tell me something directly, and I'll figure it out. Wan Qiyang was still a little worried that these women would be really troublesome if they got sick, so it really made him very nervous.
"Well, husband, don't worry, we will take care of Xiaomei, will we take a boat to Sichuan this time?" Xiaoqian also doesn't like to take a boat.
"I don't know, anyway, where to go, don't worry about the number of us, you also have to take care of yourself, you must remember that you have to tell me in advance if you feel uncomfortable, you can't hold back and not say it! Avoid knowing that you are seriously ill, then it will be difficult to heal! Xiaomei, come here, I'll dispel your suitability for you! Wan Qiyang sat on the floor of the room and motioned for Xiaomei to sit in front of him as well.
"Sit cross-legged like this, relax your whole body, and give me your hand!" In fact, this is the principle of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, there are some functional disorders in some organs of the body, that is, the veins are not smooth as often as Chinese medicine says, "if it is not painful, if it is painful, it will not be clear".
