Siwu was so lucky that he followed Pan Qiaolian, and he didn't belong to him and squeezed around among the crowds of Daxiangguo Temple.

More than 900 years ago, Kaifeng Prefecture was the most lively during the New Year's Day festival. The streets and alleys were decorated with lights, and the tiles and tramways were open all day, and food, drink, and fun were not stopped. The market at Daxiangguo Temple also opened from the New Year's Eve, and it was not closed until the 15th day of the first lunar month.

This level of prosperity is no less than that of the metropolis in later generations. It is probably the best in the world, right?

At this time, the Song Dynasty should be the richest country in the world. It is not only rich in GDP, but also in terms of per capita living standards, and is undoubtedly at the peak of the world.

Although this dynasty has existed for more than a hundred years, according to the legendary cycle rate theory, it should be the period of decline that was close to the end of the world. However, Wu Haogu could not feel much of the aura of decline. Although like other Chinese dynasties, the Northern Song Dynasty also faced two major problems: increasing population and increasing concentration of land.

However, the developed industry and commerce and the continuous development of the Yangtze River Basin absorbed wealthy labor and provided sufficient food. Although the civil servant politics in the Song Dynasty caused weak force, they still did a good job in people's livelihood and finance, which was many times better than the later Ming and Qing dynasties.

Now is undoubtedly the most beautiful and wealthiest era in classical China!

Moreover, this is an era of continuous progress, not a stagnant prosperity like the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a period of continuous development and progress in science and technology, culture and economy.

Bi Sheng, Yan Su, Su Song, Shen Kuo, Qian Yi, Li Jie, Tang Shenwei... As Wu Haogu began to lead the compilation of future "university textbooks", the names of great scientists of the Song Dynasty appeared before Wu Haogu.

Among these people, Su Song, Qian Yi, Li Jie and Tang Shenwei are still alive and are considered contemporary scientists. This shows that the Chinese civilization during the Song Dynasty was constantly improving. Oh, it is more accurate. Not only the Song Dynasty, but also the economy, culture and technology of China were constantly improving.

Because of the prosperity of the cultural governance of the Song Dynasty, its achievements in science, culture and economic fields were even more significant, surpassing those of the previous era.

Wu Haogu felt that the era in front of him was generally full of positive motivation, and he did not need to open a golden finger in science and technology at all. He actually didn't know much scientific knowledge. As long as he could overcome the two hurdles of Jingkang National Migration and the Mongolian Iron Cavalry in the future, he could rely on his own development momentum to evolve a modern oriental civilization!

To put it incorrectly, in Wu Haogu's view, the stagnation period of ancient Chinese civilization mostly started with the Mongolian iron cavalry breaking through the Southern Song Dynasty, while the Jurchen iron cavalry breaking through Kaifeng Prefecture is the prelude to the arrival of this era of great stagnation...

The entire Daxiangguo Temple is full of residents who enjoy the prosperous and prosperous Kaifeng City. They are undoubtedly the happiest people in the world in this era. If they have their own houses! In this city with developed industry and commerce, even if they work for others, they can have dozens of tiny items a year, which is enough for the whole family to live a more prosperous life. If they have a skill, hundreds of tiny pieces a year will not be difficult to make.

If this income is placed in the countryside outside Kaifeng Prefecture, it will be almost a big landlord!

Such a good era...it should be possible to maintain! Ma Zhi, who was supposed to have been online with Tong Guan during the Xuanhe period, has now reached the ladder of the sky. Although he still followed Tong Guan's line, the current official family is Zhao Xu, and the cultivator is Zhang Dun. How can these two methods be compared with Zhao Ji and Cai Jing?

The ongoing negotiations with Liao should be different from those in history. Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun now know much about the internal situation of Liao Kingdom than in history.

And this time my mission to go to Liao Kingdom is obviously laying the foundation for the future Northern Expedition...

However, the life of Zhao Xu of the official family is coming to an end, and Zhang Dun will most likely step down at that time, and his role in the political life of the Song Dynasty will become increasingly greater. But what should he do to guide the Song Dynasty to avoid the Jingkang crisis?

Before he knew it, Wu Haogu was taken by Pan Qiaolian to the place behind the Great Buddha Hall near the Zisheng Gate. The stalls here were selling books, antiques and pictures, and there were fewer tourists than elsewhere, and they were all literati and doctors.

Pan Qiaolian met an acquaintance here and suddenly shouted: "Brother Zhao, Sister Li, you are here too!"

When Wu Haogu heard "Brother Zhao", he thought it was Zhao Ji's relative. When he looked up, he saw a pretty handsome scholar with a graceful girl standing beside him. Both of them looked a little familiar, but they couldn't remember who it was?

"Brother Dawu, they are from the staff Zhao Defu and Li Yian. You have seen them in Panjiayuan."

As soon as Pan Qiaolian reminded, Wu Haogu remembered that these two were Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao. They were a famous couple among the talented men and beautiful women in Kaifeng Prefecture, not only because the talented men are worthy of talented women, but also because their families belong to the old and new parties.

Zhao Mingcheng's father Zhao Tingzhi was a general of the new party and Zhang Dun's confidant. He was appointed as the minister of the clerk of the clerk of the clerk of the clerk of the clerk of the clerk of the clerk of the clerk of the clerk of the clerk of the Su family. Li Qingzhao's father Li Gefei was the fourth scholar of the post-Suzu family and a corporal of the clerk of Han Qi. He was an elite of the old party and now he was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The two old ones are old enemies in the officialdom and they are having a lot of fun fighting, but the two young ones are in love and fall in love, which is even more eye-catching.

On weekdays, Li Qingzhao must have been a "translator-in-law", but according to the customs of the Song Dynasty, in the days after the Yuan Dynasty, women from the literati and official families could indulge in the market.

Wu Haogu hurriedly went up to salute: "It turned out to be Brother Defu and Niangzi Li."

Li Qingzhao returned a blessing gift and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, your half of "Moyuer" is really well written. I wonder if there is a final film?"

When Li Qingzhao asked, Wu Haogu's cheeks were slightly hot. He had a talent for his poetry and prose... Even if he only left half of the lyrics of "Moyuer"!

After all, half of the lyrics that can be passed down from generation to generation are better than a lot of bad lyrics, so after Pan Qiaolian spread the half of Wu Haogu's (is it Wu Haogu's?) "What is Love" (because there is no last film, so it is not "Yanqiu Ci"), Wu Haogu barely joined the ranks of talented men.

The talented man from Wuda blushed and said, "The talent is limited, and he can only make a first film. It really makes Miss Li laugh."

Li Qingzhao smiled and said, "A first film is enough to be passed down from generation to generation. How dare I laugh at me?"

Zhao Mingcheng also said: "I heard that Brother Chongdao is sorting out Mengxi's father-in-law's "Mengxi Bitan" recently?"

"This is indeed the case." Wu Haogu said with a wry smile, "But when he started to sort out, he realized that Mengxi's father-in-law had a wide range of knowledge, which was completely beyond ordinary people's imagination... He was very unfamiliar with his knowledge, and he didn't know when he could sort out Mengxi's father-in-law's knowledge and compile it into a book. If more scholars could participate, the world would see the classified book "Mengxi Bitan" as soon as possible."

In fact, Wu Haogu's knowledge is enough to complete the classification and sorting of "Mengxi Bitan", but he still thought of seducing more talented men and celebrities from the Song Dynasty to participate in the editing of "university textbooks".

After all, in the future, universities cannot only have textbooks, and there are still a large number of professors. Wu Haogu himself has no time to become a professor, and Zhao Ji and Mi Youren must be very busy. Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao in front of him seem to be quite leisurely...

"Defu," Li Qingzhao became interested and said to Zhao Mingcheng, "Defu, why don't we borrow a few volumes of "Dream Xi Bi Tan" to read, maybe we can help Brother Wu sort it out."

"This..." Zhao Liangcheng was a little hesitant. He was a student of the Imperial College and wanted to show off his skills in the spring exam competition in the third year of Yuanfu, but he didn't have so much effort to use it in miscellaneous studies.

"Let's go and have a look," Li Qingzhao obviously made up his mind, "Mengxi father-in-law is the most knowledgeable person in my dynasty, and he often involves practical knowledge. If you become an official in the future, you can also use the knowledge in "Mengxi Bitan"."

After Li Qingzhao said this, Zhao Liangcheng was indeed moved and bowed to Wu Haogu Gong and said, "I have long heard of the knowledge of "Mengxi Father-in-Law". If I can learn one or two, I will be lucky in my life."

"Okay," Wu Haogu nodded, "It's better to have a day than to choose a day. Why not go to Christie's main store together today, and the thirty volumes of "Dream Creek Bitan" are now there."

"Okay," Zhao Mingcheng nodded and smiled, "Anyway, I have to spare a break today, so let's go and have a look together."

His father and Li Qingzhao's father are now busy "congratulating the New Year" and even when he returns to the mansion, he has to rest. Tomorrow is the time for such officials to pay New Year's greetings to each other. Therefore, Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao have free time today.

...

Wu Haogu and Zhao Mingcheng, two talented men, brought Pan Qiaolian, Li Qingzhao, Pan Ying'er and Jin Ping'er, out of the Daxiangguo Temple. As soon as they left the mountain gate, they saw a more surging crowd.

The heavy snow that started to fall in the early morning had not stopped, and layers of white snow were covered with trees and roofs. Fireworks were set off everywhere, and a little bit of meteor was soaring into the sky, exploded with a bang, splashing countless stars.

Looking at Pan Qiaolian beside her, the 18-year-old girl is the most beautiful just like this era.

There may be better years, waiting for myself in the future, Pan Qiaolian and the entire China.

Under the snowflakes and sparks, a man walked into a car and slowly walked towards Wu Haogu, who had just walked out of Daxiangguo Temple: "Brother Wu, it's really you. I haven't seen you for many days. Do you still remember Ximen Xiaoyi?"
