Chivalry Cultivation System

Chapter 718

Fuzhou has always been the capital city of Fujian.

Xiao Xiaomo was barely a well-educated person before the end of the time-traveling hero star.Among the records about Fuzhou, the ones that impressed him most were "Fuzhou Poems" written by Song Dynasty poet Qian Gongpu and "Matteo Ricci's Notes on China" written by Matteo Ricci.

His poem says:
In the southeast of Qimintian, the number of mountains is endless.

Among them, Changle County is more beautiful than Wu Yue.

The sunrise can be climbed, and the ground is warm and there is no snow in winter.

And "Matteo Ricci's Notes on China" has a lot of descriptions of Fuzhou, as follows:
This city is the most affluent and best supplied in the country, being the capital of the province, it is very prosperous and prosperous.

There are many villages and towns under it, only eight columns away from the sea.

Fuzhou is the largest and most populous city in the province, said to have 30 households, and there is another larger city in the country called Nanjing.

The Portuguese have written much about it, but certainly much has been written about the city's grandeur.

I myself have heard and confirmed that it is true according to authoritative persons, Jesuits who have been to Guangdong City (Guangzhou), and these people should be trustworthy.

In this great country the people are rich in food, well-clothed, and richly furnished in their homes, and above all, they work hard and are great merchants and merchants; richest country.

Sugar is plentiful all over the country, which is why it is so cheap.

...there's plenty of honey, because they love to keep bees, and even the wax is so cheap—in such abundance that you can ship it, or even fleet it.

They produce a great quantity of silk, of excellent quality and perfect colour, far surpassing that of Granada, and one of the greatest trades in that country."

It is amazing how cheap the velvet, silk, satin and other fabrics produced there are.

Especially compared to known Spanish and Italian prices.

There they do not sell silk, nor any other fabric, even linen, by size, but by weight, so there is no fraud.

There are many rivers in the country and people grow rice which is common food and grain for the people of the whole country. ...they harvested so much that at the time when rice was at its highest, you could buy a fara for a riyal.
There are plenty of pine trees in the uncultivable mountain country, and the nuts are bigger and tastier than you usually find in Spain.

Between these trees, they grow corn, the common food of the Mexican and Peruvian Indians.Anyway they don't leave a foot of land unplanted, .

All the fields are beautiful and fragrant, because there are many kinds of fragrant flowers, and it is also dotted with green villages planted on the banks of rivers and streams, where there are many rivers.

Orchards and gardens were planted there, and there was a gay feast, where they often went to rest and escape their troubles of mind.

The gentlemen, that is, the gentlemen, often plant large forests and dense forests, in which they raise wild boars, sheep, hares, rabbits, and various other wild animals, and use their skins to make fine furs.

There are a lot of cattle, the price is so cheap that you can buy a good one with 8 riyal coins, and you can buy beef at half the price; a whole deer sells for 2 riyals: a lot of pigs, pork is the same as lamb in Ala Spain Good and wholesome.

Then there are an insane amount of sheep and other edible animals, which is why they are not worth much.There are so many birds raised on the banks of the lake that a small village in the country consumes thousands of birds every day, and the most are ducks.

. . . They are sold by weight, as well as capons and chickens, and are cheap, and two pounds of plucked meat are usually worth two cents, which is a coin equivalent to Spanish quarters; A pound is 2 malawad.

As to the fish they have, both water-swimming and crustacean, it is astonishing, not only along the coast, but also in remote parts of the country.

Some of their villages are so large that they lack the name of a state.

Most of their cities are built on the banks of the river, which are navigable. There are moats at the four corners of the city, which makes the city very strong. Not only the city, but even the town are surrounded by high and solid stone walls, one foot high, and the rest of the walls are made of bricks. But it is so solid that it is difficult to break it with a pick.

Some cities have wide walls on which private persons and six men can walk abreast, with many bastions and towers, not far from each other, with battlements and broad galleries, before their governors many times canceled, to enjoy the view of mountains and rivers and Fragrant fields.

There is also a wide distance between their walls and trenches, and six cavalry can gallop at the same time, and there is the same distance between the walls and houses in the city, so they can pass without hindrance.

Because of the proper care, their walls look like they were newly built.

Their food is good and abundant, and they eat a great deal of pork, which is as good and nutritious as the Spanish mutton.

Some of the fruits that Allah saw were like those produced by Allah in Spain, and others that Allah had never seen, but they were very sweet and delicious.

The streets passing by are full of people. If a grain of wheat falls, it will hardly fall to the ground.

The governor entertained the people of Allah in his own house for two days, and at this second banquet, as the previous day, they had a lot of music, and a lot of comedy, and a lot of funny burlesque, and there was a somersault of……

Today, the Fuzhou Governor's Mansion is hosting a banquet for an Arabian monk. The banquet starts with singing and dancing, followed by a performance of a local drama...

Yu Tianyou, governor of Fuzhou, and more than a dozen respectable gentry accompanied this ascetic big-headed monk, watching the play with relish.

But in the middle of watching the play, Yu Tianyou, who was originally happy, gradually lost his smile, and instead had a lot of gloom on his face.

Because the play is about real people and real events in Wu Town under their jurisdiction in Fuzhou, the play is called "Wenting Lost Officials and Lost Fate".

The organizations involved in the play are Wuzhen Government Office, Mojiao, Yihemen, Triad Society, Paijiao, Fuzhou Government Office, Weifeng Escort and so on.

The people involved in the play include: Wang Lun, Wen Ting, Yu Tianyou, Guilu, Shui Jianying and so on.

The content of the play is to express how Wen Ting corrupted the law, how he robbed the women of the people, and how he covered the big...

It is exactly the same as Xiao Xiaomo's ruined temple.

And what made Yu Tianyou restless the most was the ascetic monk's proficiency in eight languages, and Daming dialect was one of them.

It is obvious that the ascetic head monk definitely has a thorough understanding of the content of the drama that was staged just now.

This ascetic big-headed monk likes to travel around the world. Once the news of Wen Ting's lawlessness is spread, what will be the dignity of Ming Dynasty?

This play was clearly trying to attract Yu Tianyou's attention.

As soon as Yu Tianyou tapped the chopping board, his beard trembled, and he shouted: "Butler Yu, what did the people from the Red Flower Troupe do? Didn't they say that they were performing "Hai Rui Fighting Yan Song"? Why did it change to this one?"

Butler Yu ran in from outside the hall - the play was staged in the hall of Yu Mansion.

Butler Yu looked puzzled, and hurriedly said: "Returning to the master, it was indeed agreed to stage the play "Hai Rui Fighting Yan Song". I don't know why it happened like this?"

Yu Tianyou said: "There is something strange, you should go and ask their class leader to find out what's going on?"

Not long after Steward Yu left, he came back and said, "Gu Hong, the leader of the Honghua Opera Troupe, begged the master to stay away before she would reveal the details."
