"Jin Yiwei" genuine reading address

The capital division where the Ming court lived, bordered Liaojie in the east, Taihang in the west, Shuodesert in the north, the military capital in the back, and the Central Plains in the south, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty ordered a generation of grandmasters Liu Bingzhong and Guo Shoujing to build the capital and set the capital with this, and Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, made the monk Daoyan re-plan and design with the method of counting and manipulating, the weather of this imperial capital is becoming more and more majestic, there are both the red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City, and the gold powder buildings of the dignitaries of the east and west cities, and there are countless courtyards of the common people living in the south city.

The tall and majestic city wall guards the heart of the empire, and every cornerstone and city brick records the vicissitudes of the years, witnessing the great hustle and bustle of the Mongol Empire, the conqueror of the world, and also witnessing the heroic posture of the Ming army singing the triumphant song of the north and chasing the Mongolian Yuan out of the desert more than 200 years ago.

Sitting in the north and facing the south of the city wall of the capital division, the Yongding Gate that was built in the Jiajing period is the key to the Xiongguan in the south of it, and the thoroughfare to enter and exit the capital from the south, because the geographical location of the Beijing division is almost in the northernmost part of the entire empire, so whether it is the students who rush to take the examination or the officials who are waiting, they often enter the Beijing division through this city gate, and they also decide the fate of their lives here......

"In the Beijing of later generations, you can't see such an original city tower!" A young traveler let out a sigh that no one could understand.

He looked at the city tower that was built in the Jiajing period with great interest: its shape is a pavilion-style building with three drops of water in the heavy eaves of the mountain, the ash tube tile green glazed tile cuts the edge of the top, the face is five wide, the width is eight zhang, the depth is three, the depth is three zhang and two feet, the building is more than eight zhang high, and the weather is very majestic.

The officers and soldiers guarding the gate were all mandarin duck battle jackets and rotten silver armor, and they were more elite than other places, and when they saw that the young traveler could not move around, they shouted sharply: "This is the thoroughfare of the capital division, who is blocking the road?" Duh, go away! ”

The fat man beside the young traveler was about to argue, but he waved his hand to stop it, and then arched his hand at the officers and soldiers, and stood on the edge of the cave at the city gate and waited.

"Why don't you know what to do?" Among the officers and soldiers, a city gatekeeper headed by the general was angry, "What are you doing here?" Later, there will be a big official passing by, and you won't have time to avoid it! ”

"The lower official has some salutes in the back, so I'll wait here for a while, and I'll be able to pass the test later," the young man explained very kindly.

At this time, the four seas were peaceful, and only entered the outer city after the Yongding Gate, as well as the heavy guards of the inner city, the imperial city, and the Forbidden City, so there was no really strict inspection at the Yongding Gate, and the vast majority of passers-by passed directly, and the soldiers guarding the city did not care.

But those who salute too much, and pull goods with carts, have to inspect and pay taxes, and officials are exempt from taxes as usual, so what the young traveler said makes sense.

The city gate always saw that this young man was dressed and did not look like a dignitary, and he looked similar to the teachings and learnings of other provinces, so he didn't care much, shook his head and walked away slowly, and sighed angrily: "Alas~ Now what sesame mung bean big officials rely on the official to pass the customs, we can't collect a copper all day long, why is the court still collecting taxes at the city gate?" Just skip this, and we'll be happy to be quiet. ”

As soon as the fat man heard this, he immediately jumped to his feet, and waited to fight: "An official with a sesame mung bean? So that you know that our chief Qin is ......"

Needless to say, the young traveler was Qin Lin, who had just rushed to Beijing from Nanjing, and he glanced at Lu Fatzi, telling him not to make a noise, and he walked up to talk to the general manager, first arched his hand, and asked with a smile: "This chief is invited, you just said that you can't receive a single copper at the city gate, but why?" ”

The general is not a bad person, at this time the status of the reader is very high, Qin Lin Si Wenwen is like a well-educated man, this politeness, he is embarrassed, he wanted to learn from Qin Lin as a fool, and in the chaos he was like a fist in the army, and he saluted nondescriptly: "Mr. please, I don't know where you are an official from the province, and it's hard to say anything else, anyway, you can stand here and look at it, you will know, as long as you bring goods into the city, it is not a family slave of which house, or the current official, the day before yesterday, someone took a car of red paint toilets into the city, I have a piece of money for the old man in my hand - you say, we can't collect this tax? ”

Qin Lin smiled and shook his head, Zhang Juzheng's new policy is to open the source and rule the officials, but the gate of the capital division at the foot of the Son of Heaven is still like this, and the officials take the lead in not paying taxes according to the regulations, and the resistance of this new policy to be promoted in the local area can be imagined. ,

Therefore, most of the reform measures will die after his death, so he did not have the power to turn the tide, when the temporary glory brought by the ten years of New Deal faded with time, and the entire empire also collapsed under the blow of internal and external troubles, the heavens and the earth were overturned, and the land of China sank......

"It's time for me to do something," Qin Lin touched his chin and thought, what he saw and heard in Qizhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and all parts of Beijing, combined with the lessons from later generations, a plan that was destined to break the earth and stir up the smoke and clouds of Jinghua gradually took shape in his mind.

Finally, five carts full of horses loaded with salutes marched to the outside of the city gate, escorted by Niu Dali and ten personal soldiers, and the sound of the young maid was heard in the carriage.

Although the pro-soldiers did not wear flying fish suits but wore dark color suits to avoid attracting eyes, they knew which dignitary's mansion must have come from the embroidered spring knives that were openly hung on their waists and the fierce colors on the faces of the strong men.

The city guard has long lost hope, and lazily dragged his voice and asked, "Which house is it?" It's a bright sequin, we don't bother to check it. ”

Qin Lin smiled and handed him the driving sticker.

"Yours?" The general manager was taken aback, and he couldn't believe that this young man, who looked like a poor scholar, would have such an elite escort and so many soft salutes.

Looking at the official title on the driving sticker, the two legs of the defender of the city were weak, and he knelt down involuntarily: "Standard, under the standard, see General Qin!" There are no eyes under the mark......"

Qin Lin smiled indifferently, and took back the driving sticker from the general manager's hand, in fact, this general manager was quite passable, and Qin Lin even admired him a little.

"Maybe you will receive a lot of taxes in the future," Qin Lin patted the general on the back, and said with a straight face: "Don't be corrupt at that time!" ”

Yes, yes, I nodded vigorously, but I didn't believe it in my heart.

"He, who is he?" When Qin Lin and his party walked away, several soldiers defending the city asked their commanders in surprise.

"The new commander of the Jinyi Guard, the assistant commander of the Nanzhen Fu Division, and the commander of the Mingwei General Qin Lin!" After finishing speaking, several soldiers stuck out their tongues: My mother!

Qin Lin escorted the convoy into the city on foot, Niu Dali and Han Feilian looked around curiously, and Xu Wenchang had a special taste in his heart, and bowed his head and said:

"Go with the waves to the ends of the earth,

There are a few more in the west.

But when he went to the imperial capital, he was rich and rich,

Please don't forget the waves. ”

Big waves? Qin Lin smiled slightly, and began to see gold after scouring all the sand and gravel!
