The moment Yang Jian was asked by Zhao Ji, he was so confused that he was no longer confused.
He couldn't believe that Zhao Guanjia actually proposed that the important errand for him, Yang Jian, was to make Gen Yue profitable and open up the official Zuozang Treasury - to increase income.
This is really difficult for Yang Jian, even though Yang Jian was able to collect heavy taxes and obtain huge wealth for Zuo Zangku and himself by forcibly leasing wasteland to the people;
However, now that Zhao Guan's family wants him to use Gen Yue to increase income for Zuo Zangku, it is really difficult for Yang Jian to die.
Yang Jian cried sadly and replied: "The official family, I really can't think of how Gen Yue, who keeps putting money in it, can make a profit?
Official sage, please give me a clear message from the official, so that I can complete the errand assigned by the official!"
Zhao Ji smiled deeply and did not directly explain to Yang Jian how he could use Gen Yue to make money for the country and solve the urgent problem that almost all places were in arrears with military pay.
Zhao Jidao: "Master Yang, please accompany me to Genyue for a walk."
"Old slave obeys the order!" Yang Jian immediately replied, "Old slave will go and arrange dragon chariots for the official family!"
"No need!" Zhao Ji stopped him: "I want to walk to Genyue."
"I obey the order," Yang Jian replied. Although he was puzzled, he didn't bother to ask why the officials were walking to Gen Yue today.
Zhao Ji, accompanied by a group of eunuchs and maids, walked to Genyue.
Genyue is a famous palace-style classical garden building built by Song Huizong, the original owner of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Genyue is not just one or two mountains, but a large garden with mountains, water, woods, and rare birds and animals...
Gen, in the Bagua, is the image of a mountain. If used as a direction, it refers to the northeast.
This Mount Gen is located in the northeast corner of the palace city.
The specific location of Gen Yue is east of Jinglong Gate, west of Fengqiu Gate, north of Donghua Gate, and south of Jinglong River in the palace city. It has a circumference of about 6 miles and an area of about 750 acres.<
/p>
Gen Yue broke through the "one pond and three mountains" norm of palace gardens since the Qin and Han Dynasties, moved poetic and picturesque feelings into the garden, and used typical and general landscape creation as the theme, which was a major turning point in the history of oriental gardens.
The skills of stacking stones and cutting mountains in the garden, as well as the aesthetic taste of rocks have been improved. The exotic flowers and stones in the garden are taken from southern folk, and the fleet that transports the flowers and stones is called "Hua Shi Gang".
Zhao Ji knew that because the original owner, Song Huizong, believed that the area surrounding Bianliang was thousands of miles away, with no high mountains and few torrents, and Huizong believed that neither emperors nor gods existed physically or inhabited, he attached great importance to the landscape setting of Shoushan Genyue to capture the wonders of the world.
Use special spiritual stones, move beautiful and rare flowers and trees from the south, collect rare birds and animals from all over the world, set up carved lanterns and curved sills, and build pavilions and pavilions...
When Zhao Ji climbed to the Long Live Mountain in Genyue, he was already exhausted and sweating profusely.
The old eunuch, on the other hand, was so tired that he could only be supported by two young eunuchs and followed behind Zhao Guan's family. If Zhao Guan's family hadn't forced him to visit Gen Yue on foot, Yang Jian would have taken the sedan chair long ago.
When Zhao Ji is resting in the Jimu Pavilion on Wansui Mountain, looking south from the pavilion, he can see all the scenery under the mountain vividly, with the peaks of the south mountain like a screen. Looking north, he can see the long wave of the Long River and the far bank, which spreads for more than ten miles.
To the east, the ridge is as round as a long whale, with a waist diameter of a hundred feet. The peaks are straight and sharp, and the peaks are like shavings. They look like clouds and cranes floating in the sky, high above the city walls...
Even Zhao Ji, a well-informed traveler, not only admired such beautiful scenery in his heart, he had never seen it before. The mountains, water, woods, flowers and plants in Genyue were all moved from all over the south of the Yangtze River.
, it costs a lot of money!
Zhao Ji, a time traveler who is a master of history, knows that this expensive Genyue cannot be more beautiful than seven years ago!
When the Jin army went south to besiege Bianjing City in the Northern Song Dynasty more than sixty years later, when they appointed Li Gang as prime minister to advocate resistance, many strange stones were dismantled from Genyue and used to build the destroyed city walls. During the siege of the Jin Dynasty, they were demolished
There are many precious and rare stones in Genyue, which are used as projectiles for trebuchets.
There were thousands of cranes, white deer, sika deer, wildebeests, rhinos and other rare birds and animals raised in Genyue. Song Qinzong, the son of the original owner Song Huizong, ordered them all to be slaughtered and cooked into delicacies and sent to comfort the city defenders.
Soldiers.
When the Jin army captured the city of Bianliang, they not only burned, killed, looted, raped, and raped the people in the city, but they also attacked Gen Yue and carted away many strange stones...
Zhao Ji also knew that Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the original owner, King Kang, was located in Shangqiu in the first year of Jianyan and was Emperor Gaozong.
Influenced by his father Huizong, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty loved strange stones since he was a child. Later, when Emperor Gaozong moved the capital to Yangzhou and then to Lin'an, he did not forget to transport a small number of fine stones from Genyue to the south with the baggage, and finally placed them in the Lin'an Palace.
In the imperial garden.
Zhao Ji sighed in his heart: When the ‘Jingkang Shame’ comes, no matter how good or beautiful Genyue is, it will not be able to escape the disaster.
Thinking about this, Zhao Ji said to Yang Jian:
"Taifu Yang, look at such a spectacular and huge Genyue, how can I have it all to myself?
I want to open up Genyue, divide officials into different levels according to their wealth, and charge admission fees.
Of course, wealthy businessmen can also be allowed to visit Genyueli as long as they are willing to spend a lot of money!
This event is hosted by Mr. Yang, what do you think?"
As soon as Zhao Ji's words came out, Yang Jian was extremely surprised. After all, he had never heard of an official garden that was open to the public for a fee, and he had never dared to think about it before!
Yang Jian wanted to remonstrate with Zhao Guan's family, but he couldn't do it! However, he still held back.
Yang Jian still raised various difficulties.
Zhao Ji became impatient and scolded:
"Taifu Yang, don't make any excuses
Answer me quickly, what do you think about you being in charge of Genyue’s open charges?"

Li Lian's "Relics of Bianjing" contains a section on "Genyue Shoushan", which records: When the Jin people came again and the siege lasted for a long time, Qin Zong ordered more than 100,000 mountain and water birds to be taken and thrown into the Bian River to let them
As a result, they demolished houses for fuel, chiseled stones for cannons, cut bamboos for fences, and took thousands of large deer, killing them all to eat the guards."
