Time Bandit

Passing through the city gate, I saw a small official in the gate, with a peaceful expression and a very comfortable look. From that appearance, life was quite nourishing. 26nbsp;

Ji Qing couldn't help but think that Europe at the same time was really in a barbaric era as stated in the book, not to mention that it was not bad to say that it was not bad to drink blood.

Those scenes in the brave heart, I am afraid there is still some truth.At least, life is definitely not good there.Even the life of a king is probably not as good as that of a small official in the Song Dynasty.

But speaking of it, Da Song is really rich.Although due to internal factors, mainly the official system, the external sluggishness of the Great Song Dynasty was caused, it must be said that the Great Song Dynasty was the dynasty with the most prosperous economy, the richest economy, and the best and most comfortable life for the people in all Chinese dynasties.

Later generations have a calculation, the per capita income of the Northern Song Dynasty can catch up with the per capita income of Shanghai in the era of skyrocketing housing prices in later generations.But compared to the low prices, people's lives in the Northern Song Dynasty were more nourishing.Even peasant children rarely wear straw sandals.

The Northern Song Dynasty was also an era when there were very few rebellions.The only few rebellions that were limited to counties and states were not caused by starvation.It can be said that in this era, it is still very easy for ordinary people to eat and drink enough.

Relatively speaking, the seemingly great prosperous Tang Dynasty was actually only a few decades of peaceful times.Most of the remaining years were full of wars, which can be found in history books.There are countless uprisings due to hunger.The last Huangchao uprising ruined Datang even more.

In fact, the demise of Datang was also an internal factor.In the beginning, Emperor Taizong of Tang didn't listen to Wei Zheng's national policy. Instead, he was lenient and gave all the technology to others, insisting on being the khan of that day.This sum planted future troubles for Datang.Secondly, in the later period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the appearance of Jiedushi gave Datang a separatist force, and finally destroyed Datang in one fell swoop.It can be said that Datang was purely played to death by himself.

Of course, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was still the largest in all dynasties.Although this is the inheritance of the Sui Dynasty, it is not easy to keep it and carry it forward.

What impressed Ji Qing the most was the magnificent geographical scope of the Tang Dynasty in the era of Li Zhi in the Japanese textbooks.Not to mention that Turpan is suppressed, the Red Sea and the Arabian region are also a province of the Tang Dynasty, and the vast areas in the north are even the pastures of the Tang Dynasty.This era is the most glorious era of Datang.

Relatively speaking, it is ridiculous for some people in later generations to claim that the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the most extensive.Let them travel to Datang and take a look around, and then they will know what is wide and what is big.

Relatively speaking, although the Great Song Dynasty is elite and rich, its area is very small.In this era, Daliao, north of the Great Song Dynasty, was twice the size of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was the largest country in East Asia.Even Xixia is not small.There are only a few countries that are larger than Xixia's territory.

In the past dynasties, the Northern Song Dynasty was not outstanding in terms of land area.However, as the most prosperous and richest dynasty in history, the Song Dynasty is definitely the first. The only thing that can be compared with the Northern Song Dynasty is the short-lived Sui Dynasty.

As for the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is difficult to compare with the Song Dynasty.As for the prosperity of potatoes and sweet potatoes in the later Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the prosperity of beggars walking everywhere, it is really ridiculous.Fudge, does not represent the truth.Now that Ji Qing thinks about those so-called eulogizing Qing court dramas, he finds it ridiculous and shameless.The heart is not dead.

These clips flashed through his mind, Ji Qing and his party had already entered the city, Bao BuTong was very familiar with this place, and introduced a good restaurant.Ji Qing was not short of money, so he naturally chose the best place to stay.

When I came to Gusu this time, I naturally went to Shenhe Village of Murong's family.The Shenhe Village is located in Yanziwu, which is thirty miles west of Gusu City, not in the city.

The reason why I went to the city to find a restaurant to stay in was because everyone had been on the road for a few days, so naturally they wanted to take a good rest before going to Yanziwu.It's because that Yanziwu is Murong's family, so it's not suitable to go there directly, and it's better to stay there for one night.

The horse was taken away by the servant and ordered to take good care of it. Ji Qing and his group went straight into the restaurant, and went up to the private room on the second floor amidst the warm reception by several waiters.

After being seated, I ordered the special dishes and fine wine here, and tipped the waiter. After thanking the waiter repeatedly, he went down with a smile on his face.

Tasting dried fruits and tea, not long after, all kinds of exquisite dishes were served on the table one after another, and several tables were quickly filled.Everyone toasted each other, sat down, and started today's dinner.

At this time, the sun was setting, the moon had already revealed a corner, and the sky was dimming.But outside the window, on the side of the street, there are people coming and going, it is still lively, the lanterns are hung high, and it is brilliant.Inside Gusu City, there was a bustling scene.

This is still Gusu City, so bustling and prosperous, then Tokyo is probably even more prosperous and magnificent.Although Ji Qing had seen the intoxicating scenery of Tokyo in the time and space at the end of the Song Dynasty, but at this moment, he couldn't help but yearn for it. What's the matter, this time, he will live in Tokyo for a while.However, at this time, at least those things should be done.

I told my family about my plan to travel to Tokyo, and my family was very excited and looking forward to it, but they had never been to Tokyo, so they were looking forward to it even more.

Qiao Feng had been to Tokyo, and when he heard Ji Qing talking about Tokyo, he also looked fascinated.With the simple and unpretentious words in Qiao Feng's mouth, all the beautiful things in Tokyo were revealed little by little before everyone's eyes.From time to time, Bao Bu and other people who have been to Tokyo made additions to make the picture of Tokyo even more perfect and magnificent.In Ji Qing's mind, this picture scroll is definitely much better than the Qingming Riverside Picture, more vivid, vivid and intoxicating.

On the second day, everyone left the restaurant, rode their horses, left the city, and rushed to Yanziwu.

Soon, a boundless lake appeared in front of everyone, with rippling green waves, and the breeze was blowing, bringing a little water vapor, accompanied by bursts of lotus leaf fragrance.

At this time, the lotus flowers are withered, but the lotus pods and lotus roots have matured, and it is already the harvest season amidst the greenery.

There were people from Murong's family on the shore of the lake, so they were very happy to see them, especially A'Zhu, Abi, Bao BuTong, Murong Fu and others.

Of course, when they saw Ji Qing and Qiao Feng, their faces changed. Obviously, the servants of Murong's family also knew a lot of things.

Under their arrangement, Ji Qing and his entourage took several boats and headed towards Shenhe Village amidst the rippling water with the boatman's oars.

Along the way, they passed green lotus flowers, and Azhu and Abi picked a lot of lotus roots to distribute to everyone. Of course, those who were not on the same boat had to pick them by themselves. The speed of the boat was not fast, so it was very easy to pick.

The lotus seeds are just ripe, very tender, with a hint of bitterness in the pleasant fragrance, but it is even sweeter, this taste is really good.

Looking at Azhu and Abi who were eating lotus seeds and smiling brightly, one could tell how happy they were.The daughter who grew up in the water village still prefers life here.

Fortunately, Qiao Feng will not return to live in the north for the time being, and he will probably live in the south in the future. Azhu will not have to endure the severe cold and harsh living environment in the north after marrying and following her husband.

In this era, it is too cold in the north.Not to mention that Jizhou is also the location of the later Beijing, even Tokyo, and even the cities south of the Yangtze River, often snow, but the severe cold is always there.From this, one can imagine how cold it is in the north, not to mention the Northeast China and Mongolia in later generations.

In this era, although cotton has become popular, it has not been widely spread in the past few years in Shenzong.Therefore, people living in the north, especially in the Daliao area, did not have good protection against the cold, and there were mainly animal fur.

Thinking about such a life, I'm afraid that even if A'Zhu could bear it, it would definitely be difficult.

Feeling the charming scenery of Jiangnan, everyone was intoxicated unconsciously.

Not long after, Shenhezhuang arrived, and the boats that everyone took stopped at the simple wooden pier.

Everyone went ashore together, and under the guidance of Bao Dongtong, they entered a garden.

It is said that the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are the best in the world, and the gardens in Suzhou are the best in the south of the Yangtze River.Just looking at this Shenhe Village, it will make people's eyes bright. Every place is exquisite and elegant, showing the beauty of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River.Coupled with the fact that the Murong family has been built and perfected for more than a hundred years, one can imagine how beautiful it is here.

At this moment, Ji Qing wanted to rob this place, this Yanziwu, Shenhezhuang in the lake, is really a good house.

For future generations, no matter how many billions of dollars they spent, they might not be able to buy such a house.Even in this era, it is probably a top-notch house.

However, after thinking about it, Ji Qing felt that it was better to forget it.It's agreed, it's not Ji Qing's style to change his mind again.At the same time, Ji Qing still felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have asked for 20 taels, and should have asked the Murong family to raise [-] taels of gold. Then, the Yanziwu and Shenhezhuang would belong to him.

Murong Fu's mother passed away a long time ago, it is said that it was because of missing Murong Bo.If she knew that Murong Bo was alive and well not long ago, she might turn into a ghost and come out to take revenge.

However, Murong Bo has more than one wife and many wives and concubines.At this time, in the courtyard of the owner of the Canhe Village, a middle-aged woman was welcoming Ji Qing and his party.She is not Murong Fu's mother, but Murong Fu's aunt.

Seeing Murong Fu come back, although her expression was gloomy, but she was fine, the middle-aged woman felt relieved.It's not difficult for Ji Qing to spot her like this.

He also knew that this woman was pretty good, at least she could give up some money in exchange for Murong Fu.Of course, this probably also has something to do with the Murong family. Although the Murong family has a big business, but there is no male, I'm afraid it can't be justified.The most important thing is, if the Murong family doesn't have the man Murong Fu, the Murong family might also be disbanded.I am afraid that these old and young people will not benefit.

Without Ji Qing asking, Bao BuTong told the woman about the situation.However, whether it is Murong Bo or Murong Fu's situation, this woman does not have much emotion.It turned out that she already knew everything, cried and complained, but what else could she do.

Ji Qing and the others didn't leave quickly, the news had already reached Shenhe Village one step earlier, and the Murong family's reputation had been ruined by now.The only thing this woman hopes for is for Murong to come back, at least, the Murong family will not end their descendants.

So, after seeing Murong Fu, he breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether Murong Fu is deposed or not, this is the last hope of the Murong family.

The woman ordered to go on, and the servants quickly lifted up many large boxes. When they opened it, they found that there were large ingots and large ingots of golden ingots, which were neatly stacked, and there was a dazzling golden light, which almost disappeared. Dazzled everyone's eyes.

Everyone at the scene, except Ji Qing's family, had some changes in their complexions.After all, it was probably the first time for everyone present to see so much gold.Even the woman showed a trace of reluctance on her face, but she had to give up.

Afterwards, the lid of the box was closed, and the dazzling golden light disappeared, but the shock left to everyone still echoed in everyone's minds.

At this time, a servant brought a small box. After opening it, he found that there were some land deeds and shop deeds inside.Just now it was 5 taels of gold in cash. The land deeds and shop contracts here seem to be very few, and they are all paper, but they are actually worth 5 taels of gold.

Because of Ji Qing's reminder in Xingzilin, the Murong family didn't dare to tamper with it. The total value of the land deed and the shop's contract actually exceeded 5 taels of gold.

The land deeds and shops are mainly located in the south of the Yangtze River, with Suzhou and Hangzhou as the core distribution. There are also some shops in big cities such as Tokyo.It can be said that the Murong family abandoned their business network.However, there was no way to do this, Ji Qing asked for money too harshly.
