Under the background of anti-urbanization, the population of the capital is increasing instead of decreasing, and the business is booming. The core of the capital, North China economy, is taking shape.
This fully shows that Su Yonglin’s management of the capital city has equal vitality.
Such a huge population certainly needs a huge city.
As far as the eyes are concerned, the actual population size of Lin’ an city in the Southern Song Dynasty is not worse than that of Zhongdu City, but more than that of Zhongdu City, and some businesses are quite prosperous, but the whole city theory can see the beauty of prosperity from any angle.
Zhongducheng can see not only the beauty of prosperity but also the beauty of solemnity and majesty.
Yu Yunwen had a little military thinking and vision, and he soon developed a sense of extreme disloyalty.
Zhongducheng not only gives people a sense of prosperity, but also gives people a sense of solemnity, majesty and untouchables. If you feel a little disrespectful, you will be severely punished, thus consciously making outsiders timid and law-abiding.
However, Lin ‘an City in the Southern Song Dynasty gives people the feeling that it is more prosperous than solemn, and it gives people the feeling that this prosperity can also belong to me, so people want to touch their hands and have a great chance of success. Once they succeed, they will make a profit.
This strange sense of sight made Yu Yunwen very uncomfortable
He doesn’t know what Chen Kangbo and Lu You think, but he is very uncomfortable anyway.
Chen Kangbo and Lu You didn’t make any comments, nor did the entire Southern Song Dynasty diplomatic corps. Perhaps they felt ashamed or unbearable. They bowed their heads and followed Wang Qi honestly forward.
Chen Guangyuan, the secretary of the great crack temple outside Zhongdu City, led the crack temple officials who were waiting to meet Chen Kangbo and others, and after a brief greeting, they were brought into Zhongdu City from Chengxuanmen, which is due south of Zhongdu City.
When they entered the city, some ordinary people and business travelers were being inspected by the gate guards and entered Zhongdu City in turn.
The diplomatic envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty Ambassadors can be inspected from the special passage and quickly pass the inspection of their accompanying belongings. Lu You has always observed a series of processes in which people from normal countries enter Zhongdu City.
He found that the procedure for these people to enter Zhongdu City was simple.
If it is an ordinary person, he will hand the gate guard a piece of paper, the gate guard will look at the paper, then record a few strokes and return the paper to this person, who can enter Zhongdu City after cleaning it up.
If it is a business trip, carriage or ox cart, you need a car to be inspected. If you bring goods, you should also be inspected to ensure that there is no problem with the goods and that they are not prohibited. You should also hand a piece of paper to the gate guards for record, and then you can pack up and enter Zhongdu City.
The gate is very big and high, and there are many people entering Zhongdu City. More than 20 inspection channels are set at the gate of the city to ensure that people can enter Zhongdu at a faster speed.
To Lu you’s surprise, he didn’t see anyone pay the gate guards, as if there was no such link, and the paper was obviously not property, otherwise it wouldn’t be returned.
Lu You looked at the envoys for inspection. For a while, Chen Kangbo and Yu Yunwen both stared at the gifts brought by the envoys to Su Yonglin and quietly approached by Chen Guangyuan to replace Wang Qi.
"Don’t you need to pay the city gate tax when Wang is in charge of Daming’s entry into Zhongdu?"
Chapter 96 So can the Southern Song Dynasty really defeat the country?
Heard Lu You ask Wang Qi turned his head and looked at Lu You and nodded his head.
"Bi Hongwu abolished the city gate tax in two years. Since then, the people have entered the city without paying the city gate tax and are free to enter and leave."
Lu You had some accidents.
"That’s a big tax. Don’t say don’t? The country is really rich! "
"There is no shortage of this little tax. There are more legitimate ways to collect taxes, and this part of the tax is abolished without the need for the people to bear it."
Wang Qi smiled and said, "It’s true to abolish a lot of exorbitant taxes and levies. It’s not false. It’s not just talk to pity the people and love the people."
Lu You was silent for a moment and nodded without saying anything.
He can reasonably doubt that he has not seen it with his own eyes after all, but there is no need to doubt this kind of seeing things with his own eyes.
Lu you unconsciously sighed and looked up only to see Yu Yunwen looking at herself strangely.
A tight face in his heart unconsciously showed a stiff smile and nodded to Yu Yunwen.
Yu Yunwen looked at him for a while without moving, then withdrew his sight and continued to look at the inspection of the entourage of the Southern Song Dynasty envoys by the guards at the city gate.
After checking about two wick incense, everything is normal and passable.
Guang-yuan Chen smiled and handed over, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for cooperating with everything and going to town."
Chen Kangbo smiled faintly. "We understand the rules that hinder the country."
Chen Guangyuan ha ha a smile inadvertently led Chen Kangbo and others into Zhongdu City and arranged for them to live in the Sihai Pavilion, the official diplomatic post of Zhongdu City, which was managed by Crack Temple.
Sihai Pavilion is located next to the southeast business district of Zhongdu City, near the southeast business district of Zhongdu City. It is a large building with three floors and covers a large area. There are more than 300 rooms, one person, one person, one person, two people and five or six people. There is no effort to arrange the Southern Song Dynasty envoys.
Chen Guangyuan found Chen Kangbo after arranging the staff of Sihai Pavilion to handle the check-in of the Southern Song Dynasty envoys.
He told Chen Kangbo that Su Yonglin would meet them in three days. During these three days, the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty could have a good rest and wash away their fatigue. If they have any needs, they can talk to Wang Qi, the principal of the crack hon temple.
He and all the pavilion workers accompanied the members of the Southern Song Dynasty diplomatic corps to the places where Zhongdu City was open to the outside world, and there were no restrictions and no taboos.
He also specially introduced the commercial street near Sihai Pavilion.
"Xin Qiji, the chief of the General Staff College, has been obsessed with the bustling street of Lin’ an City since he went to Lin’ an City in the Southern Dynasties until this street flourished. He said that this street has quite a scene of Lin’ an City in the Southern Dynasties. If you are interested, you can go to play. It is best to be lively at night."
Chen Kangbo nodded his head to express his gratitude.
Chen Guangyuan ordered Wang Qi to do some things and went to the palace to report to me. Wang Qi stayed and continued to deal with the check-in of the Southern Song Dynasty envoys.
After a whole day’s hard work, the envoys were already hungry and exhausted at sunset. Wang Qi quickly arranged their dinner and bathing. After dinner, the group took a shower and went back to their room to sleep.
Even if you want to go out for a trip, you can have a good time. Anyway, there are still many things. It is better to go to sleep first today.
Chen Kangbo’s mind is very heavy, but he is 67 years old. After this trip, he couldn’t support his tired body and lay down in bed and fell asleep.
Yu Yunwen’s mind is also very heavy, but he is 54 years old, and his energy is not as tired as it was then. It is also a legal support to continue to calculate that he can lie in bed and fall asleep soon.
Only Lu You, who is less than forty years old, can still eat, take a shower and eat some fruit for them when he returns to his room, so he opens the Hongwu Political Theory and continues to study, thinking about everything he saw along the way.
Looking at his heart and feeling something, he took out his own paper and began to write some experiences.
He wrote about everything he saw along the way and compared what he knew about the Southern Song Dynasty and what happened in China. Finally, he came to some conclusions that made him very nai.
It may not be an accidental phenomenon that the Southern Song Dynasty could not defeat the country, and it was not just the strong army and the weak Song Jun.
Perhaps there are deeper reasons in the school.
For example, national unity and so on …
Lu You kept writing and writing until he felt sleepy late at night before he stopped writing and came to bed to rest.
Before closing his eyes, he thought, if everything happened in the country is the same as what was said in Hongwu Political Theory, can the Southern Song Dynasty really defeat the country?
Can a government that has no exploitation and oppression, enjoys the heartfelt support of the people and does not make big mistakes itself really be defeated?
There is no organized armed forces to supervise the workers in the huge construction site, and people can still eat meat. People can easily enter the city without paying the gate tax, and there is no difficulty …
Can such politics really be defeated?
Is it really possible to realize the Central Plains Raiders of the radical war faction?
Lu You fell asleep with such doubts.
It was a very peaceful night, and the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty slept soundly and soundly.
In the middle of the night, Wang Qi was called into the palace to see Su Yonglin.
When Wang Qi came to Su Yonglin’s room, Su Yonglin was still dealing with the king’s prayer room, and waited for a while until Su Yonglin completed the request for support from a group of experienced grassroots instructors in the middle area.
