Hangzhou has a long history, from the Qin county to the Northern Song Dynasty has a thousand years of historical precipitation, the name of Hangzhou appeared for the first time in the ninth year of Sui Kaihuang, Hangzhou at that time under the jurisdiction of Qiantang, Yuhang, Fuyang, Yanguan, Yuqian, Wukang six counties, the beginning of the state in Yuhang, the following year moved to Qiantang.

In the Tang Dynasty, the title Qiantang was changed to Qiantang because it was the same word as the country name.

By the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou was the road of the two Zhejiang roads, and the governance was located in Qiantang, under the jurisdiction of Qiantang, Renhe, Yuhang, Lin'an, Yuqian, Changhua, Fuyang, Xindeng, Yanguan nine counties, with more than 200,000 households, and a population of more than one million, and only Qiantang in Hangzhou had a population of 400,000.

……

In the city of Qiantang, Hangzhou, Zhao Lei's family, who moved with their families on a warship, were strolling through the city and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou.

"The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people! Liu Sanbian is really literary, depicting the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou like this! Bai Xinlan, who was dressed in a green lady's robe, followed behind Zhao Lei in a dignified manner, and when she saw the prosperous scene nearby, she whispered in admiration.

"Hangzhou is a great place! The scenery is picturesque, the folk customs are simple, and the prosperity is no less than that of Bianjing, and it is also a beautiful thing to settle here! Zhao Lei looked at Tian Lan, Bai Xinlan, Xiao Cui, Xiao Ruoruo, and Sophia who were following him. He also sighed and said.

"Settle down! What about the Bianjing pharmacy and the folding fan shop! Hou Shan still stayed in Bianjing to watch those industries for us, doesn't he care! Tian Lan watched one of the guards of the Zhao family buy a large number of sugar gourds and distribute them to the little master and the hostess of the Zhao Mansion, and after taking one, when she heard Zhao Lei's words, she immediately asked in confusion.

"Not bad! Don't forget that the princess of Shengguo and the golden flower girl are waiting for adults in Bianjing! Jinhua is still waiting for the adults to admit her through the door! Yang Wenguang, the brother-in-law, has already agreed to this family business, and when the adults return to Bianjing, they will have a happy event! The adults didn't say a word back. I'm going to let them down! Su Xun, who was following Zhao Lei, immediately quipped when he heard Zhao Lei's words.

"Why didn't Brother Ming Yun help Pang Bai and Ou Xifan handle official business with the transfer envoy Yamen, and follow us around the street, has the transfer made the yamen so idle now!" Zhao Lei looked at Su Xun leisurely, and also joked with a smile.

Zhao Lei has now been in the transfer of the Yamen to serve as the two Zhejiang transfer envoys, the Northern Song Dynasty financial separation, in the three provinces and six departments separated from the three divisions of the three divisions are responsible for taxation, and the transfer of the Yamen is hung under the three divisions of the tax yamen, and the two Xi Road transfer envoys, equivalent to the later generation of a provincial director of the State Taxation Bureau.

The transfer envoy was a very idle yamen, and the three divisions of the Northern Song Dynasty, which were independent outside the military and political system, were even more idle. Zhao Lei's main accusation as a transfer envoy is to concentrate the taxes of the two Zhejiang states and then send them to Bianjing, a little silver, and checking the accounts is Zhao Lei's main job. But it is also not easy to make mistakes, and it is often the most suitable official position to commit official debasement, and the former prime minister Lu Yijian was demoted to the Hebei Road transfer envoy after losing power, which shows the small power of this position.

In addition to checking the accounts of the transfer yamen, the transfer of the transfer from the military and the government made the yamen have no rights. The independent transfer of the Yamen outside the military and political affairs made the Yamen, and in Hangzhou there was nothing else except a small Yamen and dozens of Yamen. After Zhao Lei came to Hangzhou to transfer the yamen, he handed over all the current accounts and other affairs to Su Xun, Pang Bai and Ou Xifan, and took his family to walk the streets and alleys all day long, playing all over Hangzhou.

However, Su Xun, who has been checking the accounts of various places for Zhao Lei these days, also came out with him, which made Zhao Lei a little surprised.

Su Xun looked at the flow of people coming and going on the streets of Hangzhou, and said to Zhao Lei with a smile: "I have been in Hangzhou for several days, and I have been busy checking the local accounts, and now the accounts have been checked clearly." After waiting for the cashier every month, it is said that the transfer makes the yamen really leisurely, and now you have time to see the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou, don't you want to go to the West Lake! It just so happened that I was also preparing for the beautiful scenery of West Lake, so I came along. ”

"Yes! If you don't come to Hangzhou to see Qiantang Chao and West Lake, it's really in vain! However, the West Lake is only a few miles away from the Yamen, and the walk is only a time to inject incense. Just pass by the way. Tian Lan said with a light smile when he heard Su Xun's words.

"Not so! In order to prepare for the tour of the West Lake, I also made a special trip to find the West Lake record, the original West Lake turned out to be an artificial lake, Qin Shi was still a beach, to the Eastern Han Dynasty to build a sea pond before there was the West Lake, but at that time it was called Wulin water, to the Sui Dynasty to dig the Grand Canal, from Zhenjiang to Hangzhou 800 miles of canal to achieve the famous city of Hangzhou, so that the West Lake is known to the world, the Tang Dynasty Bai Ju Yi repaired the West Lake white causeway, after rebuilding the six wells, the name of the West Lake is only known in the world, to my big Song Liu three changes to one "Wanghai Tide", Hangzhou's West Lake is famous all over the world! Su Xun recalled the information he found these days, and explained to Zhao Lei and others in a deep voice.

"It turns out that the West Lake still has such a history, but it's a pity, the last time I went to the West Lake, I didn't know the origin of the West Lake, it seems that I really need to make a special trip to visit the West Lake, in order to taste the real taste of the West Lake!" Xiao Ruoruo heard Su Xun's words, recalled it, and there was no impression of West Lake in his mind, and then whispered with emotion.

"Good! Then, let's make a special trip to West Lake now! Zhao Lei didn't know in advance that there was such a saying about tourism, think carefully about Su Xun's words are very correct, although Zhao Lei has run a lot of places over the years, but most of them are just looking at the flowers, now in addition to saying that he has been to those places, he can't even remember the characteristics and customs and history of those places, thinking about such a trip is really a little regretful Zhao Lei immediately proposed a plan to revisit the West Lake.

……

In the cold weather of November, although the sun is warm, the biting wind still makes the West Lake sparsely populated.

A lone painting boat is leisurely moored in the middle of the West Lake, letting the cold wind blow and drift with the current.

"It's still the same scene, we should come back in midsummer after the Mid-Autumn Festival. In that way, you can see what Liu Yong said, 'three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus', and now the West Lake, except for the cold, there is no other feeling. Sitting next to the coal stove of the painting boat, Sophia, whose pretty face was slightly red by the cold wind, said to the people around her with a frustrated Qianqianyu hand.

Madame's words let the real tourists hear it, and they must be reprimanded, you must know that the cold and summer are the West Lake, and the beauty of the summer is the real West Lake. The cold winter is also the real West Lake, we taste, not only the three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus, but also the desolation and indifference of the cold winter. Life is what tourists pursue, and the pursuit of beauty is always those butterflies! Su Xun said indifferently to Sophia with a philosophical tone.

"The water is shining and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy. If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup is always appropriate. Su Xun's words made Zhao Lei think of Su Shi's "Drinking the Lake After the Rain", and involuntarily said with a smile.

"Good poetry! That's a good point. Visitors can enjoy a unique taste from rain or shine, spring and summer, day and night. This is the real traveler, think about it, although we came to the West Lake in the cold winter, but also on the West Lake, the beauty of the three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus flowers has appeared in front of our eyes, what we need is just our thoughts! Su Xun said in amazement at Zhao Lei's plagiarized poems.

Su Xun's words made Zhao Lei feel particularly awkward, and plagiarized Su Shi's poems in front of Su Shi's father. Of course, this kind of thing feels very empty.

"After all, in the middle of June, the scenery of West Lake is not the same as the four seasons. The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red. Zhao Lei suddenly thought of a poem that was very suitable for Su Xun to say, and immediately read it out.

"That's the mood! Your Excellency, you are already a qualified tourist. Su Xun heard Zhao Lei make two poems about the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in a row, and immediately praised it and said loudly.

"After listening to the two poems of the official, the concubine really thinks about the beautiful scenery of the lotus flowers in midsummer on this lake!" When Bai Xinlan heard Zhao Lei's words, she smiled lightly and said softly to Zhao Lei.

"In that case, let's take a good look at the three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus flowers in the West Lake in the cold winter!" Zhao Lei smiled heartily and said loudly to the people around him.

……

After all, the transfer made the yamen store the taxes paid on the entire Liangzhejiang Road, and the taxes on the Liangzhejiang Road, which has always been prosperous, accounted for more than one-tenth of the total tax income of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and the annual tax of one or two million taels of silver was very important to the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, its officials are all sent by the Hangzhou government or the Hangzhou army to assist in the transfer of personnel who make the yamen pay taxes.

The yamen was not very large, except for a treasury where taxes were stored, and the other buildings were very small compared to the yamen of Hangzhou.

In an inconspicuous study room in the Yamen, Zhao Lei and the three staff members around him, Su Xun, Pang Bai and Ou Xifan, were sitting in the study drinking tea and chatting, talking and laughing.

"Brother Mingyun's words on the West Lake today seem to mean something else!" Zhao Lei looked at Su Xun, who was sitting there drinking tea, and said to him with a light smile.

"My lord, those two poems today seem to mean something else!" Su Xun also looked at Zhao Lei with a light smile and said.

"Brother Mingyun's words, I'm afraid that the two of you, Pang Bai and Xi Fan, also have a share!" Zhao Lei turned his head to look at Pang Bai and Ou Xifan and asked with a light smile.

Pang Bai, who was determined to stay by Zhao Lei's side, and Ou Xifan, who was indifferent, smiled slightly when they heard Zhao Lei's inquiry, nodded and acquiesced.

"Do you think that after I came to Hangzhou, I played every day and ignored government affairs because I was tired of officialdom?" Zhao Lei raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.

"I have this concern, after all, after the adults came to Hangzhou, except for the first day when they met their colleagues in the yamen, they were playing around the rest of the time, so we asked Brother Ming Yun to come forward to wake up the adults!" Ou Xifan replied to Zhao Lei indifferently.

No wonder Su Xun spoke so profoundly today, what a cold winter beauty, it turned out that he was really taking the opportunity to point me! It turns out that the three of them really thought that I had seen through the darkness of officialdom and sunk! It's really confusing! Zhao Lei shook his head in his heart and thought with a secret smile.

"I don't pay attention to government affairs, because the transfer envoy Yamen really has nothing to deal with government affairs, even if I want to change this situation, I can't do anything, the only thing I can do now is to wait quietly for the next opportunity, not what you think!" Zhao Lei carefully explained to the three staff members around him.

"Next chance! The northwest is still a household department! Ou Xifan hurriedly asked.

"The northwest is still a household, haha! It looks like you're all waiting for this opportunity, just like I thought! Yes, I am just waiting for one of these two opportunities, it is estimated that the opportunity in the northwest will come faster, after all, we have all seen Yuan Hao's ambition, even if we are not in a hurry, isn't Yuan Hao in a hurry! It is estimated that by one year at the latest, the Northwest opportunity will come! Zhao Lei laughed and said to the three of them.

"Northwest! Are adults sure? When Pang Bai heard Zhao Lei's words, his eyes lit up, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Yuan Hao has been preparing for so long, everything is ready, what do you have to wait for! And the Northwest Great Song Army, it's not that I belittle them, and the all-out defense will not let Yuan Hao take much advantage, if he takes the initiative to attack, the only end is probably only defeat. Zhao Lei pursed his lips and said with a sneer.

"Then we just have to wait! No wonder adults are so relaxed! Ou Xifan put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile.

Not bad! Let's just wait hard, a year at most, Yuan Hao! Don't let me down! Zhao Lei looked in the direction of the northwest and thought with a sneer in his heart.
