The Han River is the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, which flows into the Yangtze River from Hankou in Wuhan. From Xiangyang south to Lin'an, from Hanshui to the Yangtze River, all the way along the water, the wind direction is good, the boat is very fast. Although he traveled day and night every day, it only took five days to arrive at Zhenjiang.

This day is noon to Zhenjiang, to Zhenjiang did not delay much after arriving at Zhenjiang, from Zhenjiang to the Yangtze River and Qiantang River Jiangnan Canal, but about two hours, has arrived at the Southern Song Dynasty capital Lin'an Mansion, that is, Hangzhou.

In fact, the nominal capital of the Great Song Dynasty is still Tokyo Bianliang, and Lin'an is only the capital of Xing, also known as Xingzai. The name Lin'an also means "temporary peace". But this is actually just a cover-up of face, Bianliang has been in the hands of foreign races for more than a hundred years, first Jin, and now Mongolia. The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty also shouted the slogan of recovering the old capital for more than 100 years, but it has never been realized.

From the eighth year of Shaoxing, after Zhao Gou moved the capital to Hangzhou and changed his name to Lin'an, although it has always existed as a line, it has actually been the de facto capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. After moving south, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were not as good as the next generation, just like an ostrich and seemed to bury their heads and wanted to be in a corner of peace, and there were few people who really made a difference.

However, the advantage of the southward migration of the Song dynasty was that it brought great development and construction to the south. Especially the current capital Lin'an Mansion is even more prosperous, far more prosperous than all the cities of this era that Yin Zhiping had seen before.

During the Yuanfeng period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the population of Hangzhou, including the surrounding counties, was only hundreds of thousands. By the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou's population remained at this level. But from Gaozong to the south, Lin'an was built to follow. The number of people has skyrocketed until now. There are already more than a million people. In that year, there were more than 100,000 subjects who moved south with Gaozong, and the people of all directions. Gathering two Zhejiang 100 times more than usual.

A city with a population of more than one million is really nothing in the world of Yin Zhiping's previous life. In his previous life, there were too many cities with a population of more than one million to count, even some prosperous counties, and there were also some that could exceed one million. Not to mention the kind of international metropolis, the population is already in the tens of millions. But in this era, there are very few cities with a population of more than one million. This population base alone shows its prosperity and scale.

Yin Zhiping has crossed over. This is also the first time to come to Lin'an. When he went down the mountain to walk the rivers and lakes three years ago, he originally had the idea of going to Lin'an after going south. But because it was not easy to go to Dali with him, he gave up.

The boat went straight into Lin'an City from the North Water Gate, and Yin Zhiping sat in his cabin, looking out the window and watching the scene on the bank of the river entering the city. However, there are many shops along the riverbank, and people come and go, which is very prosperous.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cabin door, and they approached from far and near. Yin Zhiping, but when he heard the footsteps, he could already tell that it was Li Zhichang. Sure enough, the next moment when the footsteps were approaching, there was a knock on the door, and Li Zhichang's voice sounded outside the door: "Senior brother." ”

Yin Zhiping got up and went over to open the door, and welcomed Li Zhichang in with a smile.

Li Zhichang looked out the window. Said: "It's already in Lin'an." ”

Yin Zhiping said: "Later, the boat will dock at the dock, and after going ashore, you will take them to the inn to stay in first." I have already entrusted the beggars to help the disciples in Xiangyang to send a message to Bai Yuchan. The letter should have been delivered by now. He preached in Wuyi Mountain, mostly for six or seven days. In four or five days, they will join us in Lin'an. ”

He was also the person appointed by the emperor to summon. Therefore, after arriving in Lin'an, he will live with Lu Wende in the pavilion set up by the imperial court, so that the emperor can summon him at any time. However, Yang Guo, Guo Fu, Li Zhichang and others were not summoned by the emperor, so they could not live in the post house at will. Lu Wende is an official, and he can arrange for the entourage and guards who followed him into Beijing this time to live in the post house together. But if he is not an official, he does not have this special right.

However, if he asked Lu Wende, it would not be difficult to arrange for Yang Guo, Guo Fu, Li Zhichang and others to live in the post house together. It's just that he doesn't want to do this, and it's more convenient to live in an inn outside, and Yang Guo and Guo Fu don't want to live in a post house.

Before the merger of the two factions, Bai Yuchan had been preaching and teaching disciples in Wuyi Mountain. He has been in Wuyi Mountain for many years, so this time he led the Quanzhen disciples south, and he still started from the foundation of his business for many years.

Since the Tiantai sect was patriarch Zhang Ziyang, it has never had a fixed sect dojo. The Tiantai faction got its name only because Zhang Ziyang was a native of Tiantai County. Although Zhang Ziyang also lived in seclusion in his hometown Tiantai Mountain, he did not set up a sect dojo, and did not even officially establish a sect.

Shi Tai, the successor after Zhang Ziyang, and Xue Daoguang, the successor of Shi Tai, are all wandering the world and have no fixed residence. It was not until the fourth generation of Chen Nan that he returned to Luofu Mountain in his later years, began to collect disciples to preach, and set up a dojo in Luofu Mountain, and began to consciously preach, wanting to carry forward their faction.

When he went to Baiyu Toad, he went to Wuyi Mountain to set up a dojo to preach. Therefore, several Taoist temples under the jurisdiction of the Tiantai faction are all in the vicinity of Luofu Mountain and Wuyi Mountain. The Taoist inheritance of their faction is also in the surrounding areas of these two famous mountains. Luofu Mountain is in Guangdong, and Wuyi Mountain is in Fujian, both of which are coastal areas, which are also the corner areas where the Zhengyi sect of Taoism in the south is less powerful.

Guangdong and Fujian, in later generations, were developed coastal areas, with many special economic zones and were very prosperous. But in this ancient period, it was a land of smoke and miasma in the south, a remote area that few people were willing to go. This was after the Song dynasty moved south, and the situation improved. Because the capital moved to the south, the land in the north was occupied by foreign races, so it naturally focused on the development of the south, and there was some development and construction in these two places. Over the past 100 years, the population has also increased considerably.

Previously, both of these places were outlying places for the exile of prisoners. Even now, and still in exile. If someone in the DPRK and China is sent to these places to become officials, it is regarded as a derogatory. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi was demoted to Qiongzhou as an official. In later generations, Qiongzhou was a beautiful tourist mecca of Hainan Island, and people in later generations flocked to it.

Bai Yuchan also committed a lawsuit because of Ren Xia's murder back then, so he died in Wuyi. The prisoners themselves have fled to exile, and generally speaking, the government does not give up on it. After Bai Yuchan fled to Wuyi. He traveled in Fujian and Guangdong, and then met his teacher Chen Nan in Huizhou, Guangdong. Then he became a monk and learned the Tao.

Bai Yuchan is very familiar with Wuyi because of his early experience of dying in Wuyi. He was in the fifteenth year of Song Ningzong Jiading. After Lin'an Fuque wrote that the world was frustrated, he was discouraged and returned to Wuyi to live in seclusion and preach.

The decision Yin Zhiping said had also been discussed before. At this time, he was also about to get off the boat, and he gave one more advice. Li Zhichang nodded in agreement, then looked at the bustling scene on the coastal street outside the window, and pointed out to chat with Yin Zhiping. Li Zhichang is the same as him, but it is also the first time to come to Lin'an.

In fact, the original Yin Zhiping had been to Lin'an. Back then, Yin Zhiping went to Niujia Village to find Guo Jing, which was a village near Lin'an. Yin Zhiping once went to Lin'an to increase his knowledge.

Yang Guo and Guo Fu have also been to Lin'an, Yang Guo's mother Mu Nianci returned to Niujia Village alone after the death of his father Yang Kang, and gave birth to Yang Guo here, and the two orphans and widows lived in Niujia Village. Because of its proximity to Lin'an, Mu Nianci also took Yang Guo to Lin'an. It's just that Yang Guo was too young at that time, but he couldn't remember it clearly. After Mu Nianci's death, Yang Guocai went to Jiaxing alone.

As for Guo Fu, Peach Blossom Island is located in the East China Sea after the Qiantang River goes to sea. It is not very far from Lin'an. When Guo Jing and Huang Rong lived in seclusion on Peach Blossom Island, they often took their daughters to Lin'an to play. Among Yin Zhiping and his party, Guo Fu is the most familiar with Lin'an. Although the original Yin Zhiping also came to Lin'an, it was also in his early years. And I've only been there once, and I haven't stayed in Lin'an.

In a short time, the boat was docked at the pier. Lu Wende sent someone to ask Yin Zhiping to get off the ship. Li Zhichang took his leave first and went to summon Yang Guo, Guo Fu and the thirteen Quanzhen disciples to go out of the cabin and gather together.

Out of the cabin. When he arrived at the deck, he saw a team of people waiting for Lu Wende at the dock. Lu Wende's official residence pacified the envoy. This position is actually not low, it can be said that he is a feudal official, and he has been to Lin'an many times, and he has faced the saint a lot of times, so there are many of his relatives and friends in Beijing.

The administrative region of the Song Dynasty was divided into three levels: road, prefecture and county, with the road being the largest administrative regional unit, followed by the prefecture, and there were parallel prefectures and prisons at this level, and the county was the lowest. As for towns and villages, Lijia, etc., these are not counted.

The Song Dynasty was to prevent the disaster of the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, so the real power of the feudal towns was removed, and the official positions of the Jiedu envoys only existed in the empty name, without real power.

There is no supreme official of the consul general in each road, but there are three divisions, namely, the transfer envoy, the prison envoy, and the pacification envoy. The transport envoy is referred to as the Cao Division, who is in charge of the gold grain, money, grain, and taxation of the road he leads; the criminal envoy is referred to as the Xian Division, who is in charge of the judicial, supervision, and criminal litigation affairs along the way; and the pacification envoy is referred to as the Shuai Division, who is in charge of the border defense and military affairs along the way, and presides over the military affairs along the way.

The three divisions have their own functions, and there is no question of who is big and who is small, and they are all at the same level, so that the power of finance, law, and military power will not make one of the envoys dominate, causing the harm of controlling the localities and actually separating them.

Where Xiangyang is located is Jinghu North Road, and Lu Wende is the pacification envoy of this road, in charge of the military along the way, and he is a powerful official. This kind of big official, and Lu Wende is also a person who is good at drilling, so there are a lot of relations between the DPRK and China. Those who came to greet Lu Wende on the dock were also quite a few high-ranking officials in the court.

It's just that Yin Zhiping doesn't know any of these people, and he doesn't know much about this period of history during the Southern Song Dynasty. There are very few people in history who are famous in history during this period.

On the way, he asked Lu Wende a lot about the situation in the court and the current Emperor Lizong's preferences. In order to facilitate his play in the face of the saint, as well as to open up the situation in the court.

He remembered that Jia Nidao, the famous cricket prime minister in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, was a figure in this period, but when he inquired with Lu Wende, he learned that Jia Nidao had not yet become the prime minister at this time.

Jia Rudao is the son of Jia She, the younger brother of Jia Guifei, who is favored by today's official family. He is now twenty-eight years old, and in the first year of Duanping, he took his father's shadow as the Jiaxing Sicang and Tian Ling. In the second year of Jiaxi, that is, two years ago, he ascended to the rank of Jinshi, and now he is a fourth-grade military supervisor, which is inferior to Lu Wende's official position. The one who is now in charge is Shi Songzhi, the nephew of Shi Miyuan, the minister of power at the time of Ning Zong. (To be continued......)
