Finale (Part 1) Refined Edition

"Time Travel Novel Bar" "Time Travel Novel Bar" Station

The fifth year of Yonghe in the Song Dynasty.

After Yang Hao took over the country, after five years of development, Jinling has regained its former prosperity and prosperity, and is even better than before. On both sides of the Qinhuai River, villas and river houses, carved railings and painted thresholds, and pearl curtains are magnificent. At night

At that time, light boats came and went like fire dragons, and silk and bamboo songs were played in the boats. From Jubaomen to Tongjimen Shuiguan, it was noisy.

On the street, weaving satin, damask mounting, silk, crepe, silk cotton, woolen yarn, headscarf, purse, pigment and dyeing shops, shops stand side by side. Often the rise of an upper-end industry will lead to the rise of one-stop industries. Jinling

All industries are prosperous and full of vitality.

Take the famous silk and satin shop in front of us as an example. It has expanded three times in the past five years and is still in short supply. Most of the expensive and gorgeous silks in the silk shop are exported. They are needed by the Northern Dynasty, Dali and Jiaozhi in the south, the largest.

There are two customers, one in the east and one in the west.[

The one to the west is a big businessman surnamed Li from Yanzhou, Hexi Province. Mr. Li has set up shop in Jinling and has been purchasing for many years. The silk and porcelain products that pass through his hands are said to be exported to Tianzhu, Dashi, Daqin and even more distant Western countries.

, his annual purchasing volume alone has reached an astonishing figure.

Another big customer comes from the east, traveling across the ocean from Japan. This big businessman’s surname is Xue, and he speaks with an authentic Bianliang accent, but his true identity is always unclear. Some people

The reason why he is said to be an extremely powerful gangster is that some people have seen the bosses of boat gangs who were eating and drinking on the Yangtze River, Qinhuai and other rivers, and they all treated him with respect like a grandson.

Others say that he is the son-in-law of a big lord in Japan. He uses the emperor to command the princes and has great power in Thao Island. He also monopolizes the purchase and sales of all high-end consumer goods in the country. The reason is that a maritime merchant has seen him in the country.

Japan has a majestic appearance. Some people say that this person is actually a chamberlain of the Song Dynasty royal family. The reason is that this guy does not have a beard, and some people have seen him going in and out of the Song Dynasty imperial city.

There are different opinions, and no one knows who he is. Who cares about him, although this person's origin is unknown, his gold and silver are not fake. As the Song Dynasty has become increasingly prosperous in recent years, the most scarce thing on the market is not materials.

It's currency. Although gold and silver from the Western Regions and Nanyang continue to flow in, it still can't meet the increasingly abundant material circulation needs. And this person has business partners all over the Song Dynasty, and the delivered goods are all gold of excellent quality.

Payment in silver is the most welcome customer of all merchants and local governments.

The silk business is booming, and with it, the entire upstream and downstream industries such as sericulture, weaving and dyeing, embroidery, and garment making have to continue to expand. What's more, the government has listed Hangzhou Bay as one of the five major maritime trade ports. Tang Family Manufacturing

There is an endless stream of ships coming in and out of the big sea every day. Not only silk, porcelain, tea, jewelry, but all kinds of commodities are now in short supply. The number of handicrafts has greatly increased. The Cui family has built several large weaving and dyeing workshops in Jiangnan.

There are already thousands of workers being recruited everywhere.

A group of four people were walking slowly in the most busy chicken coop in Jinling, looking around and looking very leisurely. Judging from their appearance, they were a couple and a pair of servants. Walking in front was a man about three years old.

Xun, a man with a graceful bearing, a face like a crown of jade, and handsome eyebrows. When he looks around, he has the air of having been in a high position for a long time.

Next to him is a beautiful woman wearing a green shirt. She has a long body and a slender waist. This is when a woman's appearance is most mature and beautiful. Although her face is covered with a layer of gauze, she is pretty.

Her facial features are still vaguely visible, making her even more charming and charming.

Behind them are two men and women in Tsing Yi. The man is about twenty, wearing a servant's uniform, carrying a baggage on his shoulder, and his gestures are majestic. The other woman in Tsing Yi also has a veil on her face, walks lightly, and has a graceful figure.

Although she was wearing a double comb, her appearance was more elegant and noble than that of a young lady from a wealthy family.

The people of Jinling have seen many high-ranking officials. One look at the temperament of these four people and they know that they are a very noble family. They have free time and go to the market, so the businessmen who are selling on the street and soliciting customers in front of the shop dare not come forward to disturb them.

, the four of them were walking around on their own, quite at ease.

Walking along the way, I saw a dazzling array of shops of all kinds, such as "Old Velvet Shop", "Yongshen Buzhuang Fadui", "Old Dougu Shop of Grain", "Old Copper and Tin Shop", "Old Comb Grate Shop"

, "Painted Rouge Famous Xianggong Soap", "Old Boots and Shoes Store", "Northwest Liangkou Leather Goods Sale", "Liao Shangjing Bintie Knife Shop", "Daqin Jewelry Shop", etc. can be found everywhere, and there are often

Exotic figures with high noses and blue eyes passed by.

The beauty in green clothes was leaning next to the nobleman who was about thirty years old, with a charming smile and beautiful eyes. She was commenting on the shops along the street: "Since the officials have added engineering and science subjects in the imperial examination, outstanding talents in all industries can also

In the past few years, there have been an endless stream of new gadgets in the Song Dynasty. Officials, you see, the owner of this shop has just developed a colorful damask with extremely fine craftsmanship, and it also has crepe.

Although the price of the silver bar yarn with the pattern is extremely high, the supply exceeds the demand."

The thirty-year-old man smiled and nodded, and the beauty clapped her hands and said with a smile: "It's really nice and magnificent. Although it's not as solemn as Chang'an, it's more prosperous. It has a unique Jiangnan flavor. This trip is worthwhile."

She turned her beautiful eyes and chuckled again: "It's a pity that the most active sister Ziyu is pregnant again. She is still not lucky enough to travel around the world with officials. Hehe, sister Ziyu is really capable of giving birth. She is five years old.

I have three sons, and if I continue to give birth to them, the Zheyang family combined will be incomparable."

The noble man coughed lightly and said with a wry smile: "This... Ziyu... Haha, Ziyu is indeed a bit too childish. That's all. In the future, I should use the method of double cultivation to make love with her. Otherwise, she will not be able to connect with the palace gate in this life."

There’s no need to leave the house.”

The pair of men and women in green clothes behind them also had uncontrollable smiles in their eyes after hearing this. The four people in this group were naturally Yang Hao, Zhu Yun, Mu Yu and Ma E.

Zhu Yun smiled and said: "But the consort gave birth to two daughters in succession, and old man Luo was so worried that he pulled out a lot of his beard. I want to give the concubine a concubine, but I'm afraid you won't be happy when she sees him.

.

Yang Hao smiled and said: "Lao Luo's family is full of descendants. It doesn't matter if he doesn't give birth to a son when he defeats the enemy, right? I don't think Lao Luo is as unbearable as you said. After defeating the enemy, he can stay in Youzhou and take charge of the five Jurchen guards.

It has only been less than three years, and Lao Luo has been whispering to me all day long that he wants Ke Enemy to be transferred back to Chang'an, saying that he misses his little granddaughter by then."

Zhu Chrome hummed: "Old Luo is just telling the truth. By the way..."

She suddenly stopped and looked at Yang Hao with a half-smile: "As far as I know, Princess Yeluya of the Liao Kingdom is still unmarried to Yunying. As soon as the consort arrived in Youzhou, she found an excuse to run away.

The officials are guarding Youzhou with their consorts, but they have other plans?"[

Yang Hao touched his nose and said with a dry smile: "My girl is the eldest princess. Even if the enemy really wants to take a concubine, the status of the other party cannot be too low, right? Well, it depends on fate.

I can't control what happens when you get down there."

Zhu Yun curled her lips and snorted softly. When she saw the crossroads ahead, Zhu Yun paused and said: "Although the officials ordered the ceremonial guard to move behind slowly, it is almost time to arrive now. Let's go to the palace now."

What?"

Yang Hao shook his head slightly, stood still for a moment and said, "You go to the palace first. I haven't set foot in Jinling for many years. I want to visit the old place again. I want to walk alone."

Zhuyun responded and turned around. The crowd had already welcomed a group of guards dressed as ordinary scholars, literati, and traffickers. They drove another carriage. Zhuyun got on the carriage. As soon as he got into the carriage and sat down, another lift suddenly appeared.

He peeked through the curtain of the sedan chair and said with a narrow smile: "Officer, Aguli will come to Jinling to pay her respects in the near future. What are you going to do with her..."

Yang Hao looked a little weird, he touched his nose and said, "What should I do?"

Zhu Yun snorted softly and said: "A blind person can see what people are thinking about you. Don't you think we know? I helped you consolidate Longyou and stabilize Ganzhou. Now that your merits have been fulfilled, you have handed over the power again.

Let you appoint officials. How much youth can a daughter's family have to draw on? Dong'er, Ziyu, and Yanyan agreed. If you, Yang Daguan, are really hard-hearted, then just think that I don't have a heart.

It’s agreed.”

Zhuyun lowered the curtain of the sedan chair, and a group of guards escorted the carriage away. Yang Hao shook his head and smiled, then turned to Mu Yu and asked in a deep voice: "How did you do what I told you to do?"

Mu Yu hurriedly took a step forward and said: "As the official family ordered me, I followed the prince and the tutor to Youzhou first. The prince liked it very much. Before leaving Guanzhong, the prince cried all day long, saying

I miss the official family and the empress. She is much better now. She can eat and sleep well. The prince consort gave the prince a pony. Although the prince is young, he is very capable of bending a bow and shooting.

Yang Hao smiled happily: "It's very good. After reading thousands of books, you still have to travel thousands of miles. We must not let the prince grow up in the palace and develop an emperor like Emperor Hui of Jin who is not an idiot but is better than an idiot. Why not eat meat?"

Here comes the porridge joke. Princes, please follow this example from now on. Every year, every Taifu will bring a prince, who will live in the palace for half the year and travel outside for the other half of the year. This should be made a regular practice."

Mu Yu said: "Yes, I went to the capital later and handed over Guohe's private message to Empress Xiao as ordered by the officials. However, I only completed half of the instructions given by the officials."

Yang Hao frowned and said in surprise: "It's half done, what can I say?"

Mu Gong smiled bitterly and said: "The officials asked Empress Xiao to meet to discuss further opening up border markets between the two countries and drafting detailed trade laws. Empress Xiao agreed. However... the officials gave Empress Xiao the

Your Majesty only accepted half of the things."

"Oh another half"

As Mu Yu spoke, he took off his bag and took out a brocade box. Yang Hao took it in his hand, opened it and looked at it, then thought about it carefully, and gradually showed a knowing smile, and said confidently: "You

Put the brocade box away and be sure to bring it with you when I meet Empress Liao."

In the past few years, the Song State has completely opened up its market and border markets, and has no longer set up obstacles to the import and export of various commodities. As the running-in period has passed, the border trade between the two countries has become increasingly prosperous. In the total trade volume of the Song State,

Already accounted for one-fifth, and on the Liao side it even reached one-half.

The flow of tea, iron pots, cloth and other supplies was smooth, and tariffs were very low. Not to mention, Yang Hao also vigorously supported the development of agriculture and handicrafts in the Northern Dynasties. In the second year of Yonghe, the imperial court sent troops to Jiaozhi. The war lasted for eight months and destroyed the country.

They rebelled against the small imperial court and set up prefectures to be governed by officials. They also brought the high-yield grains in the area back to the north. After cross-breeding and adapting to the northern climate, they were also provided to the Northern Dynasty without reservation. Although the exchange price was that the Northern Dynasty had to pay

The Song State provided a certain number of horses, cattle and sheep for ten years, but it was obvious which party would benefit more.

Jiuzhou, behind the mountains of the Liao Kingdom, was an area inhabited by Han people and the largest farming area in the Liao Dynasty. They were the biggest beneficiaries of fine grain seeds and their cultivation techniques. At the same time, they were also the group of people who benefited the most from the increasingly prosperous border trade.

. Over the past few years, the Han people and other ethnic groups in the Northern Dynasties, whose living environment had greatly improved, felt much closer to the Song Dynasty and were no longer so indifferent or even hostile. Although the two countries were life-and-death enemies before, this situation will be different from that of later generations.

The relationship between the United States and Japan is quite similar.

Yang Hao's purpose is very simple. If I want to live, I must also let others live. Otherwise, everyone will be unhappy.

Live in peace.

There is no country in the world like the Song Dynasty, with such a vast and huge grassland around it, and such a powerful grassland nation. With an outstanding leader who emerges from the Central Plains only once every 500 years, he devotes all his strength to the Central Plains to defend the famous generals of the ages.

They cannot be killed or exterminated, making the northern wolf a lingering nightmare in the Central Plains.

Yang Hao knew that the motivations of the northern grassland peoples' indomitable invasion southward were very different from the colonial invasion of small European countries. The residents on the grasslands had a harsh living environment and could only turn inedible weeds into animal "dairy" and meat.

To meet their survival needs, they can only drive their herds in search of natural vegetation on the desolate grasslands during different festivals.

They conquered the natural environment and at the same time became slaves of the natural environment. When the natural environment was so bad that it was difficult to survive, they could only plunder through war. So where could they plunder? The poorer and more desolate Arctic? Naturally, they would use their troops.

Going south, objectively speaking, the grassland peoples have been invading southward since the beginning of history. The main determining factor is not the personal ambition of the ruler, but the decision of God.[

Therefore, they are more warlike and able to fight than the Central Plains people, and they care less about the cost of war than the Central Plains people. What cost is more important than survival?

Yang Hao hoped that cultural assimilation, economic penetration, and the spread of farming technology would prevent the living environment of the Northern Dynasties from being so bad that it would be more tragic than the cost of war. Since there is no way to eliminate wolves, then turn wolves into sheep and fight against them.

I hope that problems that cannot be solved by peace and suppression can be solved by other means, which will at least greatly reduce the frequency of northerners invading the south. If one day future generations are really corrupt, the imperial court will only know how to devour.

If the people are a sucker for the people, then they will be replaced by a group of civilized people, instead of letting a group of barbarians lead the entire country to retreat.

Of course, occupying the seven prefectures in the mountains, controlling strategic areas, and double "invasion" and assimilation of economy and culture is because "it is difficult to rely on physical victory, but not on morality" is completely a fool's nonsense, but internally

There is no doubt that construction is more important than external conditions.

A large amount of daily necessities were imported into the Northern Dynasties, which improved their living environment. Every time a new gadget emerged in the Central Plains, it would soon become popular throughout the Northern Dynasties. Cultural recognition and economic improvements were gradually changing the people of the Northern Dynasties. x customs, customs and character. At the same time, the Song Dynasty reformed the official administration, the imperial examination, the jun system, opened up sea trade, and traveled to all countries. In a subtle way, the negative and conservative elements in the traditional culture were eliminated bit by bit. dross.

This is a long-term project that may require the efforts of several generations, but its role is huge. With the ingenuity and wisdom of the Chinese people, future Chinese people will be able to develop a more active, enlightened, and advanced society. The way continues. Even if one day he is gone, even if one day his descendants lose their country due to their unworthy conduct, it is only his family and surname that will be ruined. This nation will only become stronger and stronger, and will never become a A closed-door country with pride and complacency made future generations spend countless years of hard work before they were willing to face themselves and introduce living water under the heavy blow of the barbarians' powerful ships and cannons.

Although the Liao Kingdom lost its seven piedmont states, the internal environment of the country was more than twice as good as before. The changes in the past few years were so obvious that everyone could feel it, even the most ordinary herdsmen. With the great changes since the alliance with the Central Plains, they no longer have to be so pitiful as to regard a cracked iron pot as a family heirloom and the most precious dowry.

Since the land of Hexi and the seven prefectures in the mountains are in hand, the horses, cattle and sheep of the Liao State are no longer the things that the Song State desires, so they can be imported at an affordable price. A large number of healthy cattle, mules and horses are used to supplement the shortage of water transportation, Chang'an The prosperity of Guanzhong began to reappear. In addition, as the imperial capital, the local economy and culture also developed vigorously. Guanzhong also began to reappear the prosperity of Qinchuan, which is 800 miles away.

This is a matter of peace for both sides. Yang Hao believes that with Xiao Chuo's intelligence, he can understand the pros and cons of war and peace, understand his painstaking efforts, meet him and let go of grudges with a smile, and even..., ahem ..., I brought back half of this jewelry. Does she want me to wear it for her with my own hands?

The brocade drapery is first flushed, the fragrance of musk is constant, the courtyard is red and green, and the green shade is open. The night is full of joy, the moon moves the shadow of the flowers, the waist of the flower is tied with gold, the face is smooth with jade, the beauty is carefree and strong, the young lady is dependent on each other, facing the mirror, combing lazily Clothing and makeup

Thinking of the beautiful scene, Yang Hao couldn't help but feel distraught.

Mu Gong coughed, glanced at Yang Hao's expression, and said: "On the way back, I went to Chongxiao Nunnery and secretly met with His Highness Yongqing who was practicing Jingxiu in Hou'an..."

Yang Hao suddenly showed concern and quickly asked: "What did she say?"

Mu Yu said: "In accordance with the instructions of the Guan family, I tried hard to persuade Your Highness to grow your hair and return to secular life, but... But His Highness refused. His Highness said that she only wanted the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng to live in this life to atone for her own mistakes and to pray for the world. She also said... The emperor of the official family has done a very good job, which is a blessing to all the people in the world. His Highness said that she is living a good life now and is in a peaceful state of mind. Princess Yongqing is arrogant. She was rewarded, and she was really dead the day she abdicated. Now she is just a bhikshuni who devotes herself to meditation. She asked the Guan family not to send anyone to disturb her meditation in the future.

Yang Hao stood there for a long time, only letting out a faint sigh.

After walking again and again, we came to Jiangnan Academy. Today is the opening period of this year's spring reading. The exams are held in the five capitals at the same time, which avoids the hardship of the world's scholars traveling long distances to Chang'an. Even so, Jinling is the only place in the world.

The taxis and scholars were also crowded with each other and waving their sleeves.

Seeing this grand occasion, Yang Hao couldn't help but smile with joy.

He suddenly remembered that when he first arrived in Bianliang, he met Cui Dalang at the gate of Gongyuan. "That interesting scene is unforgettable to this day.

Now, after the Cui family's overt and covert struggle with the Zheng family, almost all of the Cui family's latent power has been exposed. After Feiyu's secret investigation, coupled with the exposure of the Tang family and the Li family, the Cui family's latent power has been exposed.

Can't wait for any trouble to come. Yang Hao did not suppress the Cui family. Some of the ideas he had in the past will be revised and changed when he really stands at a higher point and sees a broader view. "Destroy the Cen family's economic power.

Complementing the national affairs, when the country is strong, it is the driving force for the development of the country. When the country dies, even without its dissociation, the country can escape the fate of demise7

The Tang family, the Li family, the Cui family, and even the already weak ones among the seven sects and five surnames of the "Ji Si Tang" are now on the table and have become leaders in the industry and commerce of the Song Dynasty. Their business has even reached overseas, through policy guidance

, Yang Hao has successfully turned these conspirators into entrepreneurs. Most of them own huge factories and workshops. Perhaps one day, they will become the big multinational corporations of the Song Dynasty, just like the ones that constitute the Song Dynasty.

There are 5.5 million companies in the U.S. economy, politics, and culture. Yang Hao looks forward to their vigorous growth and subsequent transformation.

Among the scholars, family members, servants, and small merchants and hawkers, who were whispering to each other and feeling sad or happy, there was a hunchbacked beggar who was paying attention to the expressions of the scholars. With such a dejected and sad face, he would naturally not go up.

He was asking for trouble in the past, but if he wanted to see someone happy and smiling, he would immediately come up to him. He would congratulate the high school and flatter them a few times. When the people were overjoyed, no one would let him go home empty-handed. Most of them would give some money as charity.

, thus benefiting a lot.

Suddenly he turned around and saw Yang Hao grinning. The beggar's eyes lit up and he hurriedly stumbled forward. He was still eight feet away, so he knelt down and said loudly: "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir."

, won the gold medal, and the fish jumped over the dragon gate."

Mu Yu was angry and funny. He took a step forward and scolded: "You blind thing, my family"

"Whoosh, that's it." Yang Hao opened Mu Yu and saw that the beggar had unkempt hair, tattered clothes, and a high bulge on his back. He seemed to have a deformed spine, shaped like a twisted hill. Even when he was standing, he seemed to be bowing to him all the time.

As if, he was lying on the ground with a respectful expression. The back of his hand was like the bark of an ancient tree, and the long nails on his fingers were covered with dirt. They looked really pitiful. He took out a sling of money from his arms, handed it over and said: "

Take it."

When the man looked up and saw a whole bunch of golden Yonghe Tongbao, he couldn't help but be ecstatic, kowtowed and said: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, I wish you the best..."

While saying compliments, he stretched out his hand to take the money, and suddenly saw Yang Hao's face clearly. His expression changed drastically, and he crawled backwards a few steps as if he had seen a ghost, and started to run away with a strange scream.

He had a strange look on his face, and the shadow guards in the crowd had already been alerted. As soon as he moved, several big men in civilian clothes immediately appeared from the crowd and surrounded him tightly in the center. Yang Hao's hand holding the money was frozen in the air, his eyes staring straight into the air.

He stared at the beggar with his head lowered and his eyes evasive, his expression gradually becoming serious.

He straightened up, walked slowly to the beggar, and said in a deep voice: "Raise your head."

The man was trembling, and his chin had been raised to his chest. Because of his hunched back, his body was already curved, and he looked like a question mark that was not very standard.

Yang Hao shouted sharply: "Raise your head."

The man's body slumped, his knees went weak, he knelt on the ground with a bang, and his head hit the bluestone floor with a thumping sound: "Uncle Ding Yang, please forgive me, please forgive me. Seeing that I have ended up like this, you noble man is so proud."

Hand, please spare my life as a dog. I kowtow to you. I kowtow to you. I’m sorry...I’m sorry. It was my fault. I have already received retribution. Please spare my life, sir.”

The man cried bitterly and knocked his forehead until blood dripped from his forehead. He did not dare to stop. The scholars around him looked pale in horror. They wondered who this beggar was and what he had to do with this young master who seemed to have extraordinary magnanimity.

.

"look up!"

The beggar didn't dare to disobey him anymore and raised his head. Yang Hao stared at it for a long time before he sighed softly and slowly took two steps forward. The man shrank like a dog and said, "But he didn't dare to do it anymore."

Retreat. Yang Hao gently put the ruthenium on his shoulder and said calmly: "The person you are most sorry for is actually not me, but Yan Jiu..."

Yang Hao turned around and walked away. The dumbfounded scholars hurriedly opened a path for him. Only after Yang Hao and his party left did the man who was huddled on the ground slowly raise his head.

After a long time, he stood up unsteadily, his waist hunched and his expression a little dazed.

His face is full of dirt, vicissitudes of life, and thin. If someone he knows very well looks at it and already knows his true identity, he may still be able to vaguely see a bit of the romantic and suave Ding Jia Ding Chengye Ding of Bazhou.

The appearance of the second young master.

"Yanjiu"

It took a lot of effort for his already rigid mind to slowly remember the dog slave who accompanied Shao Duan in the days when he was domineering: "Yan Jiu? Why am I sorry for Yan Jiu?"

Jinling was covered with flowers, and the newlyweds stood alone and haggard, standing with feather sleeves and silk scarf, among the scholars. For a long time, Ding Chengye suddenly felt a sore nose and shed tears in the wind...
