Chengdu benefited from his hinterland in the Chengdu Plain, otherwise it would not have developed into a large city in the west-

The origin of the word Chengdu is also very interesting, and there is evidence to be checked.

Chengdu is based on the historical process of the Western Zhou Dynasty to build the capital, "one year and the residence into a gathering, two years into a city, three years into Chengdu" and the name of Shudu.

The pronunciation of the word "Chengdu" in Shu language is Shudu. "'Cheng' is 'Bi Ye' and 'Final'", the meaning of Chengdu is "the 'final capital' of Shu, or 'the last capital'."

It can be seen that the word Chengdu did not come casually, nor did it come up casually by someone, but also has a history.

"What is the largest city in the southwest like in this era?"

Zhao Xu walked on the streets of Chengdu while thinking about everything in this big city, you must know that in later generations, this is an important town in the southwest of China.

The history here is not short, there was a city here in the early days, and it was the jurisdiction of the ancient Shu Kingdom during the period of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.

Later, during the Warring States period, the Qin State used its powerful forces to annex the Ba State and the Shu State, and merged the two places into Shu County and established a large city.

There are many kinds of names for this Chengdu city, in the Han Dynasty in the past, people called it Jinguancheng, even in the Tang Dynasty there are 'flowers' heavy Jinguancheng poems.

This Jinguan City also has a history, because the Han Dynasty has an official name called Jinguan, in the Han Dynasty here the brocade industry is developed, so the special 'door' and even the Jinguan management, so people call it Jinguancheng to the extent of this title.

In the Five Dynasties, it was also called Furong City, and the name sounded relatively beautiful, yes, you guessed it, at that time, there were many hibiscus here, so it was also called "Furong City". （）

To say that the real development of this place is because it was once the capital of Shu Han. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have been operating here for many years, and with this, the weak Shu Kingdom has become a foot in the Three Kingdoms.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the royal family of the Han Dynasty was no longer able to control the overall situation, and the world was disturbed and chaotic, and these warlords continued to fight to unify the world.

Liu Bei, a relative of the Han family, rose to prominence in the warlord 'melee' war. In the 200 years AD, Cao Pi, the son of Cao 'Cao', usurped the Han Dynasty, and the following year, Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor in Shu and Shu as a relative of the Han family, and was known as Shu Han in history.

Zhao Xu thought in his heart that although Liu Bei's Shu Han relied on Chengdu to achieve the imperial cause, he had to admit that the capital of Shu Han also made Chengdu continue to develop here, and also established Chengdu's status as a big city.

"Hehe, how much history has been buried here, how much has the hegemony of the king been ruined, there is still a bit of imperial gas here, even in the face of Fusang's invasion in later generations of China, the government at that time also moved the capital to the land of Sichuan and Shu, Chengdu was also a big city at that time;."

Zhao Xu sighed while walking, this is also a city with a deep historical background, and it can be said that the historical and cultural atmosphere is quite strong.

In the Tang Dynasty, the status of Chengdu was constantly rising, the economy was very prosperous, and there was a Yang Yi Yi Yi, which refers to their commercial status.

The benefit here is Yizhou, which is also Chengdu here, which shows what the status of Chengdu is, although the status has risen, but it is not comparable with Chang'an Luoyang.

After the 'chaos' of Anshi, Chengdu was finally upgraded to Chengdu Mansion, because Tang Xuanzong once took refuge here and preserved the national glory of the Tang Dynasty, so it was upgraded.

When Zhao Xu thought of this, the corners of his mouth kept smiling, not for anything else, just because this Tang Xuanzong took refuge here.

Tang Xuanzong couldn't imagine that his descendants would also follow in the footsteps of his imperial grandfather and take refuge in Shudi, and they were really a family.

However, what Tang Xizong encountered was the uprising of Huangchao, and it was at this time that the Tang Dynasty was completely decayed.

This shows that although Chengdu is in the southwest, it is also related to some major events in history.

Both sides of this street are full of businessmen, and it looks quite prosperous, Zhao Xu didn't think about it, and went directly into a teahouse.

Zhao Xu, who had just eaten, wanted to drink a cup of tea to moisten his throat, but what surprised him was that there didn't seem to be many people here.

Except for the boss and Xiao Er inside, who was just a guest of him, Zhao Xu didn't think about it, and just didn't walk in.

Xiao Er, who was dozing off, saw the guests coming, and immediately became enthusiastic and greeted him directly.

Although Zhao Xu doesn't know much about tea, he also knows that this tea is good, because after drinking it, it is really a red box with a fragrance, no wonder it can become one of the four major drinks in later generations!

"I said little second brother, this time should be the time for everyone to drink tea, why do I see so few people, what's going on?"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but ask, this is indeed a bit strange, looking at why this street is so lively, why is it so deserted here.

By the way, Zhao Xu also noticed that it was the liveliness of the merchants, but he didn't see the guests so lively.

"Don't mention Keguan, there are really not many people who can have the heart to come here to drink tea first, and they are not in the mood to come here, alas, the government doesn't care if we live or die!"

The shopkeeper sighed helplessly and shook his head as he spoke, as if something important had happened to cause this strange phenomenon to appear here.

"What's the matter, oh, according to the second brother, it's because this wasn't the case here before, right?" Zhao Xu sniffed the tea fiercely with his nose.

"Don't hide it from the guest officer, we were very prosperous here in the previous stage, and we have only been like this recently, and I don't know what the court thinks, why the tax will be raised, this kid in addition to increasing the burden on the people, alas!"

Wait for the court of Shu to increase taxes, and now there is no war to fight, why should taxes be raised!

"Is it recently, there was no before, I mean the imperial court suddenly raised taxes?" Zhao Xu said unconfirmed.

"Yes, half a month ago, it suddenly appeared that it was going to collect taxes, and it was to increase the tax by one percent, and now everyone's life is not easy, alas!"

Tax?

Now why is there a tax increase in Houshu, it is generally only a country that suffers a catastrophe, for example, if there is a war, it will only raise taxes if it needs money.

There is nothing going on in Shu now, why would the tax be raised, and Meng Chang would not make the decision to raise the tax for no reason.

You must know that the rash tax increase will cause uneasiness, and the general court will never make such a hasty decision, the people may be puzzled and can only complain, but in Zhao Xu's opinion, there must be something major happening.

For Zhao Xu, drinking tea this time was really effective, but I didn't expect the court of Shu to actually increase taxes at this time.

Zhao Xu felt that it might be some new action in Shu, and the tax increase might be a signal, so go back and check it out
