750, to Luoyang
On the road to Luoyang, there was a carriage walking slowly on the road, apparently not too anxious. And the tall gate of Luoyang City was also erected in the distance, and it was obvious that you could enter Luoyang at any time.
"Twenty days after the flowers bloom and fall, everyone in a city is crazy!"
"Husband, are you reciting poetry again? But why are it just two sentences? Moreover, does this have anything to do with Luoyang? ”
"It's so related, Luoyang is the place where peonies bloom, don't you know? If you don't believe it, ask your parents about Ma Zhou. ”
These people are Jingwen, as well as his concubine Liu Qing, and Cui Ying. This time, Jingwen came to Luoyang to solve this problem about the pilot of commercial tax reform. And the reason why Jingwen brought Liu Qing over this time was because Liu Qing was proficient in accounts and calculations. And Cui Ying is also the actual manager of the bank, so she also has to participate in the loan business to Mengjin County. And Ma Zhou was also in a carriage next to him, obviously following Jingwen over. This time, Ma Zhou is the representative of the debtor, so he also has to work together.
"Marshal, madam, there are many people in Luoyang who plant peonies, but there is no official guidance. Although I have only been in Luoyang for two years, I also know that Luoyang is very suitable for peony growth, and the people here also love peonies very much, so many people plant peonies. Ma Zhou said.
After all, Ma Zhou has been an official in the county seat under Luoyang for two years, and he can be regarded as half a "landlord" in Luoyang, so he took the initiative to explain things about Luoyang. Luoyang's status in China's history is not low, even higher than many so-called historical cities.
Jingwen couldn't help but think of the Luoyang Peony Festival in later generations, which is an intangible cultural heritage. However, now Luoyang has not formed the habit of planting peonies, and there is no official guidance for planting peonies, so it has not formed too much of a flower planting base. And peony will also become a feature of the Tang Dynasty in the future, that is, the Tang Dynasty people love peony. And the peony represents wealth, who in this world does not hesitate to spend wealth? So. Peony has become a feature of the times.
Luoyang is also a famous cultural city, the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties in history, and there are countless scenic spots in it. And the current Chang'an, in fact, is no longer the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an, in fact, it is another city built. And now the history of Chang'an cannot be compared with Luoyang, and the cultural accumulation is not as good as Luoyang.
"Well, I have time, I must come here and have a good time. Usually, it's a good idea to take a break. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful. Compared to Chang'an, I feel a lot better. Jingwen said.
In fact, Chang'an City is still in a large construction site. Chang'an is actually a newly built city, starting from the capital of the Tang Dynasty to build Chang'an City, and then gradually expanding. And Chang'an City is now in the construction stage, so construction is going on everywhere, and the environment in the suburbs is definitely not very good. If it weren't for Jingwen inventing some tools, I'm afraid the construction period of Chang'an City would be even longer, so I'm afraid Jingwen would have to spend his whole life in the process of building construction. And Luoyang has been built, and the environment is also very good. Located in the center of the land of China. It is also accessible in all directions, and is the hub of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty.
And Luoyang, in fact, is more suitable as a national capital at the moment. The transportation here is convenient, and it can communicate the north and south of the motherland. There are great benefits for the central control of the local government. Moreover, according to later history, the Tang Dynasty was actually the de facto capital of Luoyang in the middle and late stages after Tang Gaozong, and the emperor and empress, civil and military officials, were also resident in Luoyang. In fact, it is already a de facto move of the capital, but no one openly admits it. Because, if the capital is moved, the impact will be too great. Therefore, it is only possible to adopt the practice of moving in this way. This Luoyang is actually an advantage that Chang'an does not have, and it is good for a strong country. As a powerful country, it has developed transportation and can deploy troops to support the Quartet at any time. However, if you are a weak country, then I am afraid that the developed transportation will bring disaster to yourself, because the enemy will also take advantage of the convenient transportation to attack your capital. However, after the Tang Dynasty, it became more and more powerful, so Luoyang's traffic problems were not only not dangerous, but a benefit. I have to admit that Emperor Yang of Sui chose to build Luoyang as the capital, which also has its reasons, because when Emperor Yang of Sui first started, in fact, the Sui Dynasty was still very strong.
"It's a pity that Sister Cheng Lin can't come here to see because she is pregnant!" Liu Qing said.
Now Cheng Lin is pregnant, so it is not suitable to travel around Luoyang, so Jingwen also asked Cheng Lin to raise a baby in Chang'an. Moreover, Jingwen also promised to strive to be able to rush back to Chang'an before she gave birth to a child, and this would be done. I hope to be able to establish this new business tax model as much as possible, so that I can return to Chang'an as soon as possible to welcome the birth of my second child. After all, Jingwen doesn't want her husband to be around when her woman gives birth to her own child. And when a woman gives birth, if her husband can be by her side to support her, or even let her know that she is by her side, then she may be able to have a higher success rate. This can allow a woman to have children with peace of mind, so that she will not feel that she is struggling alone, which is not good for the future relationship between husband and wife.
Cui Ying next to her said: "Sister Cheng Lin has already come to Luoyang, and my aunt has brought her here before, so you don't have to worry." ”
"Since Cheng Lin is here, then we can rest assured. However, this time we have a mission, not just for fun! Jingwen said.
"Got it!" Liu Qing said impatiently.
Liu Qing didn't want to take care of any court affairs, but now that Jingwen was in charge, she, as a woman, could only follow her husband. And Cui Ying next to her is also a little complicated, because this time her bank wants to focus on it, mainly to practice using commercial taxes to guarantee the mortgage, and then you can get a loan. This time, it will also come out of a new model, and then bring great help to the bank to the government loan in the future. Even, this can support the government to govern, but the usefulness is very huge.
"Well, we won't stay any longer. Ma Zhou, you hurry up and take us to Mengjin County, and then let's get to work! Our time is very tight, after all, I have to go back and wait for my wife to give birth! Jingwen said.
"Okay, Jieshuai, let's rush to Mengjin County immediately!" Ma Zhou said. (To be continued......)
