The excavation of the Luohuai Canal has made the economy of Daqian more and more active, and a large number of shops have appeared on both sides of the canal. Cities along the canal have also developed rapidly.

In the tenth year of the Mandate of Heaven, Wang Jing ascended the throne for ten years, the Great Cadres became more and more prosperous, and the excavation of the Luohuai Canal made the taxes of the Great Cadres increase greatly.

Among them, the revenue of commercial taxes directly increased fivefold, and the customs duties of the canal also became an important financial revenue of the imperial court.

Wang Jing took his attendants and several close ministers to play in Luoyang City. This is also the micro-service patrol that the emperors of the Wang family have liked to do.

As early as when Zijue established the Huai Kingdom, the successive monarchs of the Huai Kingdom liked to go to the folk parade, and even several monarchs had encountered great talents when they were on the tour, which also made many monarchs envious.

Even though there were many ministers who objected to the Son of Heaven going out privately and paying private visits on the grounds of safety, the monarchs and the Son of Heaven never took these exhortations seriously.

Some kings even ask rhetorically: 'Do you want to prevent the widow from understanding the suffering of the people?' ’

In a word, the minister almost apologized for his crimes.

Zijue never thought that the emperor or monarch could govern the world well by sitting on that palace. History has proven that few emperors who were raised in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women did not become talented.

These emperors did not understand the sufferings of the people, did not understand the hardships of the small people, and did not understand the hardships of farming, so they would only say why not minced meat, and even thought that eggs were a luxury for thirty taels and one piece.

These emperors felt that they would raise taxes for the people, but it was too much, they didn't know that if he added a penny, the officials below would dare to add ten cents and a hundred cents.

Several emperors of Daqian like to travel in micro-clothes, and they will also take the prince with them.

Wang Jing traveled with his servants and close ministers, although it looked like an ordinary rich kid traveling, but there were at least a dozen guards secretly accompanying him, and the number of escorts in farther away was even more.

As for the assassin killing, unless the assassin has the courage of an overlord to have a chance.

The market was full of people, and Wang Jing took everyone to wander around the street with great interest, and even bought some food that looked good.

Outside Luoyang City, tourists are weaving, and there are many places to play near the city, such as the ten-mile peach forest on the bank of Luoshui.

This ten-mile peach forest was planted by people after Wucheng, and now it has become one of the eight views of Luoyang. Every year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, a large number of students from the palace and the country come to play.

Wang Jing led people to the vicinity of the canal wharf outside the city, and to Wang Jing's surprise, it was actually more prosperous. The canal is full of boats and merchants. On both sides of the canal, there are various restaurants and shops.

Wang Jing stood on the highest restaurant on the bank of the canal, looked at the prosperous scene in front of him and sighed: "Such a grand scene, it can be described as a prosperous era, where is the painter?" ”

The court painter hurriedly walked out of the queue, bowed and saluted: "The minister is here!" ”

Wang Jing said with a smile: "Take pen and ink, and draw this prosperous era completely for me, and name it "The Picture of the Great Qiansheng Age"!" ”

His Majesty ordered him to paint such a prosperous picture, then this picture scroll must go down in history, and he, as the author of the scroll, will definitely be written into the history books.

Such a famous thing that has been passed down through the ages, no matter how many people ask for it, he has decided to use his life's work to draw the picture scroll of this prosperous era in front of him.

The ministers next to him also praised one after another, and the painter also unfolded the scroll and began to paint here.

The painter used his pen like a god, quickly sketched, and soon sketched the scene of the canal in front of the window, and he had already made up his mind to paint a painting that had never been seen before, and used his brush to describe the prosperity of this great dry era and the glory of Luoyang, the capital of God.

Wang Jing was very happy to visit Luoyang, and Luoyang City at this time was not the cold words on those songs, but a vibrant picture.

Wang Jing, who was in a happy mood, held a banquet in the Changle Palace, invited the three princes and nine secretaries, as well as the nobles in the capital to attend, and even specially issued an edict to let ten of the most talented scholars in the Guozijian and the Xue Palace come to the banquet.

For a while, Luoyang City was crowded, and countless people wanted to participate in this banquet.

There are not many banquets held by the Daqian royal family, but each time it is extraordinarily grand. There are even rumors that Wang Jing specially invited those talented people from the palace and the national eunuch to participate in the event because he wanted to select the world's talents as husbands for the royal family and nobles.

The spread of this message made the nobles and officials also excited. The Daqian royal family is not keen on marrying nobles and officials, and the queens of Wang Luo and Wang Ke are all low-level nobles or officials, and in the Huai period, there were even commoners.

And the princesses and nobles in the Daqian royal family rarely marry, but every royal noblewoman is a peerless beauty, and she is virtuous and virtuous, and she is the virtuous helper of the family, coupled with the identity of the royal family, it can be said that there are no nobles and officials who do not want to ask to marry, but it is a pity that there are few successful ones.

Therefore, after hearing the news, let alone ordinary people, those noble and wealthy families are also eager to bring all the outstanding children in the family.

So this banquet was held in this situation.

Wang Jing held a banquet and didn't know that so many things were happening in the outside world, but even if he knew, he would push the boat down, if there was really a young talent in this banquet that was pleasing to his eyes, he would naturally not stop it.

Of course, even if he agreed, it would be up to luck to marry the daughter of the Wang family. Zijue was very tolerant of Wang's daughter back then. There were no forced arranged marriages in the Wang family.

In this era that has not been poisoned by feudal etiquette, women can also travel on the street, rather than the so-called ladies who did not go out of the door in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the real history of later generations.

Every year, the Shangyuan Festival, the Qiqiao Festival, and some other festivals, there will be some activities in various parts of Daqian, and many girls are looking for their own wishful husbands through these festivals.

Of course, those wealthy nobles should be more particular about each other, and when the women in the family marry as adults, they will invite other nobles, wealthy families, officials and other families with suitable sons to come to the party. In this way, let the daughter pick the right one.

This banquet was also misunderstood by these people.

At the banquet, the atmosphere was hot, and Wang Jing was also very happy, so he ordered someone to write poems to praise today's banquet and this prosperous era.

Hearing this, everyone who had been eager to try it for a long time volunteered to step forward. There are also people in the main hall who record these poems and songs.

Whenever a good poem or fu appears, everyone in the hall will also cheer in unison.

Wang Jing laughed and said: "The edict will include excellent poems and fu, and it is so prosperous today, and it should be seen in future generations!" ”

"The Prosperous Era of the Great Qian", one of the top ten famous paintings in China. For the Daqian custom painting, the Daqian court painter Zhang Yi only saw the surviving fine works, belongs to the national treasure-level cultural relics, now in the Beijing National Museum, this is another national treasure-level cultural relics donated by the royal family.

"The Prosperous Era of the Great Qian" vividly records the urban appearance of Luoyang, the capital of China's great Qian, in the 8th century, and the living conditions of people from all social strata at that time, which is a witness to the prosperity of Luoyang City in the Great Qian, and is also a portrayal of the economic situation of the Daqian city. - "National Treasure Appreciation"
