Great time travel

As a matter of course, the destructive behavior of Guo Jing Guo Daxian who demolished the temple did not cause any trouble or accusation.

——At the moment when the soldiers are in danger and the war is fierce, everything must make way for the war.Even the Taihu stones in the royal gardens of the Song Dynasty were smashed by the city guards and used as stone bombs, and they were loaded with catapults to bombard the golden men outside the city... Therefore, Guo Jing just casually said that he was just here. Practicing the "Maoshan Five Thunder Rectification" and preparing to bombard the Jinren, who knows that they accidentally blow up the house, so everyone dispersed with admiration.

At this moment, the east is getting whiter. Looking up, I can see a row of crystal clear icicles hanging under the eaves. The yard is full of eucalyptus and viburnum, pavilions, trees, pools and rockeries, all covered evenly with a layer of ice. The thin snow is like a vague fairyland.

Immediately afterwards, as the morning bell of Daxiangguo Temple came leisurely, another dawn was ushered in the brilliant and blooming Kaifeng Mansion.

Wrapped in a piece of silver, this legendary city with a population of one million fully demonstrates its charm to visitors after a thousand years:
From Xuande Gate to Nanxun Gate, there is an imperial street ten miles long and 220 steps wide. Even in the besieged city, there is still an endless stream of pedestrians, countless merchants and merchants, and traffickers and pawns.Even though the sky had only just brightened, it was already full of crowds and bustling.

In the neighborhood, there are vendors doing business everywhere, and on both sides of the road are restaurants patronized by various ordinary people. On the counters are stewed pig and sheep heads, roast chicken and roast ducks, and large porridge or soup stews are placed at the door. The iron pan exudes a strong oily smoke, with the smell of sweat and dust.Not to mention breakfast, but for lunch and dinner, many ordinary residents of Tokyo City will also settle outside. They don’t cook by themselves, which is almost as convenient as the life of urban office workers in later generations.At the same time, there is also a shop selling noodle soup-that is, selling boiled water.In ancient times, it was inconvenient to make a fire, and those who were too lazy to light a stove to boil water in the morning would go to these stalls to wash their faces and rinse their mouths... In short, this is a prosperous society with a high degree of commercialization and citizenization.

On both sides of the Royal Street are two belt-shaped rivers with a width of five feet, and the banks are built of jade, shining brightly.There are also peaches, plums, pears and apricots planted on both sides of the river. Although it is the cold winter and the vegetation is withered, you can still imagine the enchanting scene of thousands of flowers, pink and apricot white on both sides of the Royal Street in the beautiful spring.

This is the Tokyo Bianliang of the Song Dynasty, the Kaifeng Mansion where countless legends were born, and the prosperous and magnificent place where the convergence of the world gathers.

Standing on the pagoda of Tianqing Temple, overlooking the vibrant Kaifeng of the Song Dynasty, Wang Qiu couldn't help being fascinated for a moment, as if he saw the picture scroll of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", "Bao Qingtian", "Water Margin", "The Case of Guillotine Beauty" ", "Five Rats in Tokyo" stories, vividly appearing around me.

However, all the prosperity and prosperity will disappear in just one or two months!

...Although he is not a savior, Wang Qiu still doesn't want all the prosperity and civilization to be destroyed by death and barbarism.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the gate of Tianqing Temple. It turned out that it was a servant serving Guo Jing, who bought something early from the street and came back.

I saw them eating with their hands full, and carrying large and small lotus leaf bags, and they could smell the faint fragrance from a long distance.When Wang Qiu stepped down from the pagoda and came to the Zhaitang in the temple, the table was already filled with steaming various kinds of miscellaneous chews and fruits.And Doraemon and Nobi Nobita were already sitting at the table very unceremoniously, grabbed these delicious breakfasts, and stuffed them into their mouths!
As for Guo Jing’s political commissar, he also sat beside him with a smile on his face, and while he was eating Haisai, he introduced the food of the Song Dynasty to the guests: “…This is Xiangtangzi… It’s a pity that there is less sugar; there are fried clips… ...It really is still hot and delicious; this is roasted pork skin, which is quite famous... In addition, there is this Granny Cao meatloaf, which is a famous product in Bianliang, Tokyo. People waited in a long line to buy it ..."

Seeing them gobbling it up, Wang Qiu was dumbfounded at first, and then he yelled "Why don't you save some for me?" , Sazi, donkey meat fire and other breakfasts, I chewed it unceremoniously according to the case. After one bite, it really is a pure natural and pollution-free good thing. .

In a short time, the few of them ate up the sumptuous breakfast they had just bought, and then wiped their mouths and drank a bowl of pepper soup tea—it felt slightly similar to the spicy pepper soup of later generations. It is really a great pleasure to drink it in the cold winter. It really sweats and refreshes.

After the sumptuous breakfast, Tianqing Temple gradually became noisy, and more and more idlers from the market came to sign up for Guo Jing's "Liujia Zhengbing", and there were also a few documents sent by the government to give to the "Liujia Zhengbing" who had already enlisted in the army. Liujia Zhengbing" registration resume... For these trivial matters, Wang Qiu, Doraemon and others couldn't get involved, and Guo Jing was not interested in it, so he asked someone to hire a car and horse, and went to the most lively place in Tokyo. A visit to Daxiangguo Temple.

Although the Daxiangguo Temple is named as one temple, it is actually divided into eight branches, and each branch has its own abbot.Two Buddhist Temples and Six Law Courts.It occupies a very wide area, spanning several streets and several miles on one side.In Xiangguo Temple, the [-]-foot Paiyun Pavilion soars into the clouds, and the murals of Wu Daozi and the statue of Yang Huiwen are dazzling.There is also a stone inscribed by a Jinshi, and rows of stone tablets engraved with the names of Jinshi have been arranged since the time of Taizu to the present.

The market in front of Daxiangguo Temple is the most famous commercial street in Bianliang, Tokyo, just like Nanjing Road in Shanghai and Wangfujing in Beijing... This market is usually open five times a month. There is no collection; rare things from all directions are gathered among them", "all business and travel transactions are gathered among them, and those who come to the capital from all over the world to sell their goods and resell them must be because of this."Daxiangguo Temple was a distribution center for commodity trade across the country at that time, and its prosperity was recorded in the "Trade of Wan Surnames in Xiangguo Temple" in "Tokyo Menghualu".

Although most of the shops have to close their doors due to the martial law in the capital and the danger of war, but you can still feel the bustling and prosperous scene when you are in it.Even in the few shops that are still open, the goods sold are almost everything from cloth and silk, jade jewelry, pastries and meals to North and South groceries.The shops and streets are also quite clean and tidy, almost not much different from the shopping streets of small cities in later generations.Even many immigrants from places such as Beiliao, Xixia, Tianzhu and even Dashi moved to Bianliang, and most of them made a living as merchants in the city. The economic and cultural center has become a prominent international metropolis in the world.

Of course, the traces of the war on the city are also unusually obvious - on the corners of the streets covered with snow, refugees who died of cold and starvation can be seen everywhere, and every corpse is blue from the cold.There are more people living on the streets, struggling with hunger and cold... Although they fled into Kaifeng city with their lives and temporarily avoided the butcher's knife of Jin Bing, they were still starving after their belongings were exhausted. They fell to death one after another in the severe cold.

Even the old residents of Kaifeng are facing a very difficult life right now, because with the siege of the Jin soldiers, water and land transportation has been cut off, industry and commerce have come to a standstill, countless citizens have lost their jobs and lost their income, while prices in the city are soaring rapidly: a bucket of rice is [-] renminbi, A bucket of wheat is [-] Wen, donkey meat is [-] Wen per catty, mutton is [-] Wen per catty, pork is [-] Wen per catty... It can be said that there is no most expensive, only more expensive; there is no most outrageous, only Even more outrageous!

What's more terrible is that it seems that the heavens are about to destroy the Great Song Dynasty. This year's Central Plains has encountered a severe cold weather that has not been seen in a century.

As the Jin soldiers besieged the city for a long time, the millions of residents in the city not only lacked food to feed their stomachs, but also lacked firewood and coal for heating...

Right now, in this Bianliang city, at least hundreds of people die of freezing and starvation every day.Although the imperial court gave some relief, it was a drop in the bucket.

"...Right now, all businesses in the city are dying, but the price of goods is soaring every day. The cost of the breakfast we just had is enough to hold the best banquet in normal times!" Looking at those half-buried in the snow Among them, the poor man with little chance of survival, Guo Jing couldn't help sighing and said, "...the reason why my more than 7000 Liujia soldiers can be recruited so easily is because everyone is having a hard time and is eager to get a share of the army rations." Because of..."

"...Since this is the case, should I find a way to raise a batch of grain and sell it? Not only can I earn several times the huge profits, but I can also gain the gratitude of the army and the people!" After thinking about it for a while, Wang Qiu suddenly had an idea to make a fortune. , "... During the siege, food should be the most popular commodity!"

However, Guo Jing expressed disapproval of this suggestion: "...I advise you not to do this, it will offend a lot of people to death."

"...What? Kaifeng, which is besieged by golden soldiers, is unwilling to bring in food from the outside world? How is this possible?" Wang Qiu exclaimed in surprise.

"...how... how do you say this? Do you think that there is really a shortage of food in this city?" Guo Jing blinked meaningfully.
