In Jiaozhi, southern China, the tropical rainforest does not matter whether it is cold or hot, spring or autumn. The temperature rises all year round. The growth of non-deciduous evergreen trees is just the amount of rainfall that is a symbol of the annual life cycle.
At this moment, the rainy season is changing to the dry season, and the prosperous fruit trees and crops are trying their best to absorb the last bit of rain and dew to grow, or they also know that the next step will be a dry season.
After the last rain, Jiaonan Port looked brand new and ushered in the clear sky. The old war scars on the city walls were mottled, the ancient stone Hanju buildings in the city were shaded by lush spiritual trees, and the water powder streets were small and beautiful.
Ladies in gorgeous clothes...all bear witness to the conquest, construction, and assimilation of the Han Empire over the centuries.
In the Rubber Exchange House, which supports the economic lifeline of the entire port city, more wealthy businessmen from China spoke Luoyang Mandarin and waved a large number of Yingwu Baobao notes to conduct large transactions: "Ten thousand boxes, one tael per box will be delivered on the spot.
Give money on the spot”
Immediately, someone stepped forward to take Ying Wu's banknotes and took a photo of the storage list in the warehouse: "Goods are over."
The magician at the exchange office took a look at the list and verified that it was correct. The wealthy businessman rushed out and rushed to the port warehouse area to order his entourage: "Let Lao Liu raise the sail, the gantry crane and the porters hurry up -"
"One, two and seven cents"
"Goods finished"
"...one or two and twenty dollars"
Plantation owners from all over the country were blushing and fighting for contracts. In previous years, rubber output and prices were very stable. Seeing the prices rising to irrational levels, a lady was surprised. She was very young. She was only eighteen or nineteen years old. She could not be said to be too young.
The beauty is just Xiaojiabiyu. Looking at her slightly brownish skin, you know that she is another local lady who has been trained by the Book of Songs.
At this time, the lady leaned slightly and asked her husband in a low voice with interest: "Why are you so high?"
"You don't understand. This year's astronomical tides are particularly strong. It has been delayed for several months... Now the inland reserves are almost exhausted, but which workshop's machines do not use rubber? If you win one day early, it will be a silver mountain and a silver sea."
The local plantation owner explained, speaking in Luoyang Mandarin that was not very standard, and the sign he held up to ask for prices was also in clear Chinese. However, he looked of medium height and a little dark, so he was clearly a mixed-race Han Chinese.
Several young magicians who came here to practice looked at the sign and nodded, then looked at the beautiful ladies selected from the savage village, and their hearts were full of pride.
"The Han style will never fade"
"This place can be said to be the essence of Nanyang's wealth. When it comes to money, it may not be as good as Luoyang Steel Exchange and Lingshi Exchange, but it is definitely not inferior to the rice market in Jingzhou, the copper market in Wuyue, and the medicine market in Liaodong, because it is just
Behind this official exchange house, the rubber trade of the entire Southeast Asia is radiated, accounting for 60% of the empire's rubber production and 90% of the overseas colonial production."
Although customs gradually changed in remote overseas areas, Chinese characters have always remained unified along with the imperial examinations. The need for industrial standardization and communication has also made people spontaneously learn the relatively unified accent of the north. Fast steam ships have closely connected them with the economic circle of China and Turkey.
—Or the last point is that women feel more clearly, they can always catch the fashion changes from Luoyang at the first time.
The scream of "two taels" became hoarse, but the doubling of the price made the man jealous, and the atmosphere became more and more heated. If you listened carefully, you could hear the sound of silver coins tilting into piles.
The ladies who accompanied him also looked at him sideways. This exchange hall was filled with a power that made them feel strange, and made their faces blush and their hearts beat faster than the strong body.
The capital operation under the Qing system has been very powerful. Take this rubber exchange house, which was built less than fifty years ago as an example. The first to deliver at low prices are the largest giants, Luo merchants, Shanxi merchants, Hui merchants, Jing merchants,
A small circle such as Wu merchants can even join forces to swallow up 80% of the market. The further the goods are delivered, the less the remaining goods are. However, things are rare and valuable. Everyone knows that the abnormal weather this year has greatly increased demand in the mainland.
Who is the owner of a long-distance sea-going ship who would not prepare to bring some rubber back with his eyes red?
For this reason, they did not hesitate to sell some low-value goods at low prices in the city, and competed to buy rubber. The constant push-up of quotations caused money to flow in and out. This is the characteristic of many large-scale exchanges in the industrial system.
After three years of business opening, many plantation owners brought their women and servants and stayed there for three months, waiting for the rising market to make money and go back to expand their plantations.
Sea-going ships that had escaped the typhoon also began to set sail, carrying rubber, a specialty of southern rubber forests, to the north. They would go up the Yangtze River to transport this important industrial material to major cities along the coast, or arrive directly through the artificial Grand Canal that runs through the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Luoshui River.
Luoyang, the imperial capital.
At the same time, some sea ships returned from overseas, and passengers disembarked one after another. Soon a wave of students with feather fans and silk turbans gathered in the square of the pier. These students had been conducting biological surveys in the dense forests throughout the rainy season and were preparing for the start of the dry season.
The young students who went back to school to write their papers looked tanned and had bright eyes. They were all talking about today's economic fluctuations when they learned about it.
The same costumes in this play attracted many local people's attention and commented: "New school uniforms? Why do they look like the costumes of Prime Minister Zhuge in the romance drama?"
Those students' ears were very sensitive. At this time, a student, about twenty years old, with a slightly slender figure and a flat robe, looked back with a smile and said: "This is a new initiative from Luoyang Taixue Taoist College.
, Jinling Women’s College is also competing for the new school uniform to commemorate the 300th birthday of Chief Dean Zhuge Kongming. They say that this feather fan scarf is the symbol of Governor Zhou..."
"After coordination, the subordinate branches of our counties all followed the instructions. Only those who have passed the five items of internal affairs, military, astronomy, geography, Taoism, and formation, and are both civil and military can receive it. There is also a special requirement...possessing the red soul of my great Han.
"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Nowadays, common knowledge about spiritual practice has spread all over the world. Although most people are not qualified enough, they understand the meaning to some extent - this requirement is very high. It can be said that it is only one out of ten thousand.
Xinhan encourages appropriate diversified development to grow into a towering tree. Anyone who can grow a root system or a bud for it will receive aura feedback.
Every generation has many efforts towards this.
Or the kind of natural pride that condenses the destiny of heaven and earth. In recent years, there have been more and more of them, which means that the fundamentals are improving, and the overall life form is improving. It seems that people in the past were generally shorter, but now they are better nourished and have better blood.
Just higher.
Or it may be that one has reached the level of a real person through practice, and the gods are self-born and never fall.
Or maybe the elites in the industry have concentrated their minds, and this is exactly what it means to be the number one scholar in the 360 professions.
Or ordinary people who have practiced the unity of knowledge and action for a lifetime. The last report mentioned that there was an old man in the Western Regions who had been planting trees in the desert for fifty years. He did not want to make money, but just wanted to fulfill his childhood wish...
…
The most eye-catching ones are the second and third generations who inherit the family's luck, but those are the efforts of several generations or even more than a dozen generations. It would be unreasonable to cancel them all.
The most typical example is His Majesty the current emperor. He has a golden soul since he was born as a prince. How can this be enviable?
The square at this wharf is densely packed with shops, and many shopping residents don't care about the Dahan Red Soul Selection. It's too far away from them, but many anecdotes about the men's and women's colleges competing for the naming rights have aroused their hearts for gossip and they are talking about it.
Until someone said softly: "The magicians in our neighborhood came here yesterday to conduct a census. I heard from the gossip from the pavilion chief and the third elder that they also asked for the detection of the red soul of the big man. I don't know why..."
The three elders were the basic rural control unit of the Han Dynasty. This arrangement continues in cities now. A young female worker passing by was stunned and whispered: "We are also identifying and registering names in our textile workshop. It seems that we are selected... It turns out that
I thought the emperor was conducting a nationwide draft, but it doesn’t look like it?”
Hearing that this female worker was working in the textile mill immediately attracted the envious eyes of many men, because in the frontier it was the same royal vertical economic system as the land reclamation army. The income was not subject to local audit, but was directly included in the imperial village. It can be said that the treatment was generous.
"Why can't I get in even if I'm a strong man? What kind of job can this girl get? Don't use your body to bribe the manager of the palace..." Some men thought bitterly in their hearts, but did not say anything.
The Han people in this dynasty still inherited the legacy of the two Han dynasties. They recognized the existence of classes and the overall social climate was positive. They hoped to become the first generation in the expansion. The so-called enthusiasm and confidence of searching for a feudal lord for thousands of miles can only be found at this time.
Mo, the young Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu, and Ban Chao's thirty-six-man mission conquered the fifty kingdoms of the Western Regions. These are not comparable to the collapse and depression.
And now more special women are officially listed in the population level. Originally, women were not restricted much in the Han Dynasty, and there were no restrictions on publicity. Due to the need for labor in industry, not only did the Zhou Dynasty continue the abolition of the aristocratic domestic slave system, but also the status of women
Recovered due to their increased economic capabilities - even accelerated by spiritual practice and political background.
Many real monks emerged in Yingwu Kaiji International to stabilize the current situation and fight against the disciples of the Three Saints. Some female real monks are still alive because their life span has not expired for 300 years. They once served Taizu and Xiaomi
The qualification of a queen is that even the emperor must respect them. No one dares to mention that it is a virtue for a woman to have no talent while they are still alive.
Maybe in a few years, the first generation of real people will pass away, and the National Games of the Han Dynasty will usher in a turmoil, but now women can still hold up half of the sky. When the female workers discussed politics just now, no one thought that she could not speak.
But the local citizens are even more confused. Since the vertical system of Huangzhuang is independent, they don't want to do this. It seems to be a large-scale population-level survey?
"Definitely not. The maids-in-waiting are just a selection process for the palace. Different from the channels for selecting concubines, the selection process is now published in newspapers, and only the daughters of three generations of Chinese people are accepted in the first round. It is really discriminatory." There was a person with a bit of exotic style.
The beauty was very angry. She reasoned that her father's lineage was only two generations of Chinese, so she just didn't qualify.
