Chapter 205: Ningbo Mansion

Masashi was indeed frightened by the way he suddenly came up with it. After pondering for a while, he felt that this was indeed not the time to discuss this issue, so he turned his head to look at Wang Hai on the side and said, "Brother Wang Hai, do you think you can arrange for this family to come to us?" ”

Anyway, the cottage can accommodate hundreds of families, and it is more than enough to live in this family, and even adding dozens of households is not a problem.

"What does His Highness Masayo mean?" Wang Hai consulted Zhengliang's true intentions with his eyes.

Masara didn't answer, just nodded.

"Well, since it is arranged by His Royal Highness Zhengliang, of course there is no opinion in the Majesty," Wang Hai said briskly. In the future, the cottage will be his lair. But too few residents is not a good thing, and the inclusion of some displaced people just solves the population problem.

So, under Wang Hai's arrangement, one of Wang Hai's subordinates stayed behind to take charge of the arrangements for these homeless people. As for the question of whether or not the displaced people agreed to Zhengliang's arrangement, there is no need to consider it at all. In their current state, even if someone sells them, they don't have a problem. What's more, Zhengliang told them to go to a Zhuangzi to be a farmer, and of course the homeless family happily agreed.

The matter of the displaced people is over for the time being. The convoy took a short break and continued on the road. Along the way, both Zhengliang and Wang Hai began to be busy with their own affairs. Zhengliang was thinking about whether the immigration policy he had just thought of was feasible, while Wang Hai was packing goods and preparing to enter the city. According to Wang Hai, there are less than two hours left to see the city of Ningbo.

The convoy traveled all the way, and encountered several groups of displaced people along the way, and Zhengliang told these displaced people to rush to the tea stall at the entrance of the mountain road as soon as possible, and meet Wang Hai's subordinates who were about to lead the displaced people back to the cottage. Since he can recruit one homeless family, he doesn't care about recruiting several more households, and Wang Hai has no objection to this. The displaced people, who received the information, immediately accelerated their pace of progress.

After two hours, a great city finally appeared in front of me.

Is that Ningbo?

Looking from a distance, I saw a city wall nearly a mile long in front of me, and in the center of the city wall was a large city gate. It was one of the two city gates to the west of Ningbo Province. Wangjing Gate.

"Your Royal Highness Zhengliang, look," Wang Hai beside him pointed to a pavilion not far away, "that is the most famous 'official pavilion' outside Ningbo Mansion." ”

Zhengliang looked in the direction Wang Hai pointed. I saw that there was indeed a lonely pavilion on a small hillside next to the pipe. At this moment, a pair of lovers are falling in love in the gazebo.

"Look there on the right," Wang Hai continued to act as a tour guide.

"Huh? Is that? Masarashi turned his head to see that on a slightly higher hill to the right of the pipe, there was a building that resembled an altar. I couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Hehe, that is the Ningbo Mansion 'Mountain and River Altar', every festival, there will be Taoist priests or monks here to hold sacrificial ceremonies, and there will even be Taoist masters here to teach. And it is also a meeting place for some literati and artists, with His Royal Highness Zhengliang's talent, if the time is right, don't take a trip," Wang Hai said with a smile.

Masara nodded and signaled that he would think about it for a while, but he didn't think so. There is no need for bards, as long as you can get some useful help for the development of the territory here this time.

After introducing Zhengliang, Wang Hai said goodbye and left. He's going to be one step ahead. Get ahead of the convoy and go to the city gate to have some action.

The convoy continued on its way, and soon crossed a wooden bridge in front of the Wangjing Gate. The city gate is very high, and above it, there is a wooden plaque hanging on it, which reads 'Wangjing Gate', and looks at the handwriting. Vigorous and powerful, it seems to be written by a battle-hardened veteran.

The two officials at the gate looked at the people who were good at the city. Then he waved the convoy into the city. Obviously, Wang Hai has done it in advance. With such a lazy style, it is no wonder that when the Japanese invaders come to attack in the future. These officials and messengers hid in the city and could not hide. …,

After passing through the five-meter-wide city gate, you will come to the west city of Ningbo. There are mainly some courtyards here. The most famous is the Tianning Temple, which is located not far from the city gate. Tianning Temple, formerly known as Guoning Temple, was built in the fifth year of Tang Dazhong (851), and was repeatedly damaged by war since then. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1382), it was renamed Tianning Temple. Standing at the city gate, you can see the Xiantong Pagoda of Tianning Temple from afar. Xiantong Pagoda was built in the Xiantong period of the Tang Dynasty and was named after the era. The tower is a square five-story pavilion-shaped brick tower with a height of about 12 meters. The façade of the tower is parabolic, shrinking layer by layer, each layer is stacked with bricks to form the eaves, the shape is different from the northern Tang Tower, there are Buddha shrines on four sides of each layer above the second floor. Xiantong Pagoda is a brick tower of the Tang Dynasty, and it still retains many architectural attractions before the Tang and Song dynasties in the Ming Dynasty.

From the West Gate, head towards the South Gate. Near the south gate of the city, there is a Sun Moon Lake. The Sun Lake is round and slightly smaller, so it is called "Sun Lake"; Moon Lake is elongated and slightly larger in area, so it is called "Moon Lake". The two lakes are connected together like a ring, separated by a, and a small bridge spans it like a link. On the edge of the Rihu Lake, there is the ancestral hall of He Shaojian (He Zhizhang, who has served as an official of the young eunuch). The statue of He Zhizhang is dressed in a wide court robe, and there is no yellow crown (a person wearing a yellow hat, referring to a poet) at all. The ancestral hall is engraved with the poem "Yang Xing" written by Tang Xuanzong for him, indicating his glory. He Zhizhang asked to return to his hometown in Jianhu to retire, and he was already in his eighties at the time. His poem "Homecoming" says: "When the young leave home and the eldest returns, the hometown accent has not changed, and the sideburns have declined." When children and grandchildren don't know each other, they smile and ask where do they come from? "It was not too early to go home at eighty, but at that time, people called him a rapid retreat and passed down from generation to generation. He Zhizhang once visited an old man surnamed Wang who sold medicine, asked for a way to prolong his life, and gave him a pearl. When the old man saw the bread seller passing by, he exchanged pearls for bread and ate it. He Zhizhang was embarrassed to speak, very annoyed and remorseful. The old man said, "If the problem of stinginess has not been removed, where does the method of immortality come from?" So he gave him back the pearl and went away. In this way, He Zhizhang is just a person who pursues wealth and profit. Moon Lake is a mighty lake, bright and shiny, lovely, leading to the south of the city.

The peach and willow trees planted under the castle are densely packed around the lakeshore, and famous flowers and fruit trees are also planted in the middle. In the middle of the lake, there are garden pavilions built by officials, and the towers are now very fresh, and the pine trees and stones are still green and long-lasting. The vines on the stone are as big as buckets, and they have probably lived for more than a hundred years. The official family of the Siming Dynasty, the field house was left to the descendants, and the garden pavilion was enjoyed by itself (meaning to be buried here after death). Fountains, trees, and stones, most of them are in the late Chu Dynasty and Qin Dynasty (often changing styles), so the garden pavilion is also like this, just like the post house yamen. There is only one Suo Luo left in the Tu Chishui Suo Luo Pavilion. The so-called "snow waves" and other stones have been in the garden of one of the houses for a long time. During the Qingming season, there are many cruise ships in the two lakes, but the bridge is too small so the boats are not big. Walking a little farther under the city wall, the peach blossoms are full of willow trees, and according to Wang Hai, usually tourists sit on the ground there, drinking and singing at the same time.
