Chapter 103 New Yanjing City
"Dad, is Yanjing City ahead?"
On a spacious and smooth pipe, cars came and went, and a woman's face popped out from the window of one of the carriages. She looked at the tall and brand new city wall in front of her and spoke to the people in the car.
There was also a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman in the carriage.
The convoy following them is also their family.
This family’s surname is Tang, and they are a businessman. They are now in contact with the voices of Erlongshan.
Their family was originally in Kaifeng Prefecture (Bianjing City), but now they have moved to Yanjing.
Because the Daliang Republic has moved its capital to Yanjing City, the government has introduced a policy to encourage its relocation to Yanjing.
The Tang family saw the business opportunity, so they responded to the government's call and moved to Yanjing.
"That's right, this is Yanjing City!"
The middle-aged man Tang Xinzhong in the carriage said to Tang Jiayu, who was looking out of the carriage: "A few years ago, Yanjing City was still an ordinary old city. It became even more dilapidated after the war, but now it has been rebuilt and has been completely renewed, just like this new dynasty."
The Tang family came to Yanjing to do business. Later, years of wars between Jin and Liao, Jin and Song, and Erlongshan made the Tang family not come to Yanjing for a long time. However, Tang Xinzhong visited when Erlongshan defeated the Jin soldiers and rebuilt the Yanjing city.
Tang Jiayu asked: "Dad, you said that Yanjing used to be the land of China, but after the demise of the Tang Dynasty, it was ceded to foreign tribes by other dynasties. The Song Dynasty has not taken it back. It has been more than a hundred years. Now, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, including Yanjing, have returned to our Chinese people. Daliang is really amazing. It has done something that no one has done for more than a hundred years..."
"Yes, I look down on you!" Tang Xinzhong nodded and said, "Daliang not only recaptured the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but also destroyed the Xixia and Jin Kingdoms, occupying their territory. Now the territory of Daliang is much larger than that of the Song Dynasty."
Tang Jiayu said: "I know, because the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was incompetent and the treacherous ministers were in trouble, and the literature was strong and the martial arts were weak, so they could not defeat foreign enemies."
This shows that Tang Jiayu has read a lot of books, and is talented, able to think and have opinions.
Tang Xinzhong said: "Yes, the Song Dynasty is very rich, but it can't defeat foreign enemies. It's not that we can't really defeat it, it's because the court is incompetent!"
Tang Jiayu also said: "A dynasty, the emperor controls life and death alone, and the foolish monarch may destroy the country. I think the Daliang Republic is very good. Without the emperor, it may be possible to create a new era."
In order to promote and gradually liberate the people's thoughts, the Daliang Republic has planned newspapers this year and distributed them all over the country.
After reading the newspaper, Tang Jiayu learned a lot from it and learned a lot of things, especially new knowledge. She agreed with this new system of the Daliang Republic.
"Maybe."
Tang Xinzhong didn’t know whether this national system was good or bad, so he could only wait for time to prove it: “But now there are many people who are critical and not optimistic.”
"The people who criticize are harming their interests. As the Daliang newspaper said, the establishment of a new dynasty will inevitably harm the interests of some old forces, and it is normal for them to criticize."
Tang Jiayu said: "Anyway, my daughter thinks it's good. Maybe her daughter can become an official in the future, just like Sun Erniang, Gu Dasao, Hu Sanniang and Li Shishi in Erlongshan.
Especially Li Shishi, the disappearance in Kaifeng Prefecture caused a lot of sensation. It turned out that she left with the person she loved. Their story was reported by Daliang newspaper, which was very touching. There are also stories about the leopard head Lin Chong and Lin Niangzi, and the tiger-beating hero Wu Song and Hu Sanniang, which are all very touching!"
Zhang Hao deliberately used the Daliangbao to promote the past stories of many leaders in Erlongshan. Of course, he had a lot of literary colors to process and exaggerate the stories, making them into the image of chivalrous justice, grievances, love and hatred, and ultimately the greatest hero is to serve the country and the people.
At the same time, the story also criticized the corruption of the Song Dynasty court and the people's miserable life, which made many heroes be forced to endure the enemy's worries.
Although they had no choice, these people remained unchanged in their original aspirations and did many things to do to be chivalrous and uphold justice. They also cared about the people of the world. Seeing that the Song Dynasty court was incompetent, they could not bear it anymore, and finally took the initiative to fight against the Jin Dynasty!
In short, it is to build Erlong Mountain into a holy land, which is a place where righteous men in the world gather, and what they do will be in line with the heavens and serve the country and the people!
"Erlongshan has many heroes and heroes." Tang Xinzhong said: "Our family has business dealings with Erlongshan. For my father, I have contacted some of them. They are all outstanding people. No wonder they can achieve a new dynasty!
Although Erlongshan has established the Daliang Republic, Erlongshan still exists. There are still many people who like to be a hero and righteous person, as well as many of their businesses, and we will have more and more businesses with Erlongshan in the future."
Although most of the people in Erlongshan are already government officials or generals, they have not dissipated and still exist, but they are now controlled by Jing Ke.
Some of Jing Jie's spies have established a good intelligence network in various places in the caravans in Erlong Mountain, among the chivalrous and righteous people, and under the cover of Erlong Mountain.
The Tang family convoy slowly entered Yanjing city through inspection outside the city.
"Dad, mom, look at it. The streets here and the houses here are very different!"
Tang Jiayu said in surprise.
Entry into the city is enough. The street is covered with cement roads, the streets are covered with tiles and trees are planted, which is completely different from the streets in the past.
Also, most of the houses on both sides of the street are new, and they are made of cement, red bricks, etc., with ceramic tiles on the surface, which looks very bright and beautiful!
In addition to the preserved buildings, Yanjing City has built new houses in the rebuilt and newly planned areas.
Every time I see it for the first time, I will be surprised and feel a bit luxurious because the tiled walls look very expensive.
"I've never seen a house like this!"
Tang Xinzhong said: "I came to my father more than a year ago. At that time, there were no such houses. It should be a new style created by the court. Perhaps it is to show that the Daliang Republic is different from the past. It is a brand new court, just like these new streets and houses!"
Tang Jiayu thought about it and thought it made sense, and said, "Dad, mom, if you can buy such a house, how about buying one to live in?"
curious!
Tang Xinzhong was also curious, so he made an intention and just needed to buy a house: "We just need to buy a house, so we'll give it a try."
There are some palace buildings in Yanjing City, where the leaders, cabinets, Liudu and others of the Daliang Republic work, and their families live in the imperial city.
Compared with the Forbidden City in the capital during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the current imperial palace is much smaller, but it is enough to be used for office work after reconstruction.
The office locations of the Parliament, Military Affairs Office, Judicial Office, Supervision Office, etc. are no longer imperial palaces, but are converted from other large mansions or built new ones.
