Chapter 1 The Haiping Tian Family
The eleventh year of Tiansheng, August.
Dazhou, Qingzhou, Hedong County, and Haiping County.
By the river flowing eastward, a child with beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes stood on the shore, looking at the river about a thousand feet wide and mist everywhere, and could hardly see the river on the other side, and was stunned.
The river is windy and the water flows fast, reaching only a hundred miles eastward, pouring into a vast ocean.
"What a spectacular river, such a grand scene, I should write a poem!"
After saying that, the chief kid took the paper and pen from the side, wielded ink and wrote a poem on the spot:
...
"Linbeijiang"
Thousands of miles of waves come from the sky, flowing to the sea without returning.
There is only a passion in the world, and it will not be in vain for the Beijiang River to flow forever.
...
A lispense poem written on the spot.
As for the artistic nature of this poem... it can only be described as dross.
However, given that this horn child is only six years old, it is very rare to write such a poem.
With the square and elegant calligraphy font on the rice paper, Ruzhen Sibao put away this ink treasure and praised him with a look of praise: "Young Master, your poem is written so well. The master and his wife will be very happy to see it!"
"Young Master, Young Master! The master told you to go back quickly. The wind is strong by the river, be careful of the cold." Not far away, a thin companion hurried over and said.
"I got it, go back now!"
After sorting out his long-sleeved clothes that were blown by the wind, Zhou Ming walked towards the oval fort five miles away under the arch of several companions.
After walking along the way, I saw the plain terrain alluvial from the river, which was a thousand miles apart. It was only three hundred miles away to the west. The gods who were called "Taiyan Mountain" were living in "Taiyan Mountain". In the clear sky, you can see a little ups and downs, with a gray wavy line, and the lower part was dyed with light ink.
As for the altitude, Zhou Ming calculated that it was only about three thousand meters and a height of ten thousand feet. That was an exaggeration to say. It was really that high. He was three hundred miles away and saw nothing of the concept of outline, but a giant.
This world is still different from the world where Zhou Ming lives.
This planet has a slightly larger area than the earth, about 1.3 times larger, with oceans accounting for 60% and land accounting for 40%. The land is composed of four continents divided by the sea. If Zhou Ming’s current location is defined as the East/Northern Hemisphere, then these four continents are one in the East/Northern Hemisphere (the largest area is called the main continent), one in the Western Hemisphere (a striped continent that spans the north and south hemisphere), and the other in the southern hemisphere (similar to the Antarctic).
There is also a smallest continent, floating alone about 5,000 kilometers southwest of the main continent, with an area of about 10 million square kilometers, and a shape a bit like an isosceles trapezoid, which reminded Zhou Ming of the Aopai Kingdom in his world...
There are three moons in the sky, one big and two small, two small, two small during the day, and one big at night, so the sky in this world looks quite interesting. The poems written by poets about the moon are chanting the moon, just look at the title of his poem, indicating whether it is the white moon or the night moon...
The country where Zhou Ming lives, called "Big Zhou", is somewhat similar to the country in his world, but it is also very different.
Similarly, both countries have a "chicken belly"-shaped territory. Under the "chicken belly", there are two islands similar to "chicken feet". The west is a snow-capped desert, the north is a vast grassland, the south is a barbaric land, and the east is a small country in the northeast corner, and the other is a vast ocean.
The overall is a bit similar, but there are still huge differences in specific details.
First of all, the Great Zhou Empire had a larger territory and conservative estimate. Just by establishing prefectures, counties and counties, the central government directly calculated the area under the jurisdiction of 15 million square kilometers (excluding those surrogate states, vassal states, and surrendering to nomadic tribes).
Secondly, there are also big differences in the topography and landforms. There are no Yangtze River and Yellow River here, but there are three long and wider rivers with greater water flow. The three rivers, from north to south, are called Beijiang, Zhongjiang and Nanjiang respectively.
In addition to the big rivers, there are countless mountains with shapes, names, and altitudes... all different from the real world.
For example, in this world, the main mountains that run east-west are Tianzhu Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, Dayin Mountain, and the main mountains that run north-south are Shu Mountain, Wushan Mountain, Yanshan Mountain, and Taiyan Mountain...
Then, based on the main mountains and rivers, such as a chess board, the blocks and areas divided on the map, so that the main body of the Great Zhou Empire can be described in one sentence and eight words:
Three rivers and seven veins, ten states and four domains.
Three rivers: Beijiang, Zhongjiang, Nanjiang
Seven veins: east-west direction (Tianzhu Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, Dayin Mountain), north-south direction (Shu Mountain, Wushan Mountain, Yanshan Mountain, Taiyan Mountain)
Ten states: Youzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Yangzhou, Jezhou, Shengzhou, Shuzhou, Qianzhou, Zhongzhou, Hongzhou, Yazhou
Four domains: Western Regions, Northern Regions, Barbarian Regions, Penglai Immortal Realm (there are some islands outside the eastern coast. The emperor often sends some fleets to find gods and immortality, so it is called Penglai Immortal Realm)
Zhou Ming’s current location is just a small county near the coastal coast in the northeast corner of Qingzhou. The reason why it is called “Haiping County” is because when the sea water rises, half of this county with a lower terrain will be soaked in the sea water. Therefore, this county is often nicknamed “Haiban County” and “Longwang County”.
After walking for more than half an hour, he saw the docking fort getting closer and closer in front of him, and glanced at the endless fertile farmland around the docking fort. Zhou Ming sighed secretly: This is not a big landlord's house, it is clearly a small independent kingdom.
More than 100,000 mu of fertile land belongs to your own home.
Nearly two thousand households with a population of over 8,000 are tenants or peasants who farm for their own homes.
There are 500 permanent clan soldiers. In an emergency, 2,000 people can be used to guard the fortress, so that their family can withstand countless foreign invasions and internal wars during the 500 years of their establishment.
Haiping Tian Family.
It is the name of the family he was born now.
Tian Jian is the name of his body.
When he walked into the fort, he saw a middle-aged handsome man with gorgeous clothes, handsome eyes and short moustaches on his lips. He walked around the yard. After watching Zhou Ming come over, he quickly walked to him and said very harshly: "I'm so anxious! Jian'er can go to that place with strong wind and dampness. What should I do if I get cold?"
There is deep care in the sound of blame.
After saying that, the middle-aged handsome man pointed at the two companions beside Zhou Ming and said furiously: "It must be you two, you guys who have picked up Jian'er to come out of the fort to see the river... The housekeeper, drag the two of them down and punished them with heavy sticks!"
"Master, please spare me, please spare me!"
"Master, the young man hasn't picked up the young master to go out. Please spare your life!"
The two companions were so scared that they urinated, and they both kowtowed and kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"Father, I want to go out for a break. It has nothing to do with Xiaozhong, Xiaoyong and the others. I will pay attention next time, so you can spare them once."
At the father, Zhou Ming bowed and pleaded for his two companions.
"Hmph! Let's spare them once, and next time I will do such a thing that will hinder the Lord. See if I won't break their legs!"
Seeing that his son was pleading for mercy, the middle-aged handsome man calmed down and let go of two companions.
"Thank you, thank you!"
It seemed as if two companions who had walked before the barrier of life and death kept kowtowing to Zhou Ming.
"Okay, okay, don't kneel down. Take out the poem I just wrote and give it to my father to appreciate it to see if there is anything that needs improvement." Zhou Ming kicked his companion Dangtian Zhong said.
"Jian'er has written a poem again? Come and show it to me!"
The middle-aged handsome man's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously.
He knew this son's intelligence very early: he spoke less than eight months old, walked under one year old, learned to write Script at the age of two, wrote poems and essays at the age of three, and was close to his completion of calligraphy at the age of four. When he was five, he wrote a poem "Poem to wish his parents a long life" that moved him so much that he passed this poem to the famous teachers in the prefectures and counties. After appreciating it, the title of "Filial Son of the Tian Family" and "Haiping Prodigy" made him, the father, feel proud and proud.
The companion, Tian Zhong, quickly handed over the poem.
When he unfolded the poem, the middle-aged handsome man sang and lowered his head and sang.
"Linbeijiang Ji"
"The waves come from the sky~"
"Run to the sea and never return!"
“There is a passion in the world~”
"It's not in vain that the Beijiang River will flow forever!"
"What a saying, 'If there is passion in the world, it will not be in vain for the Beijiang River to flow forever'... What a good poem, what a good poem!"
The middle-aged handsome man kept pondering in his mouth, and fell into the heroic artistic conception of the poem, and could not extricate himself for a while.
"Father, I think the last sentence is not well written. How about changing the 'not in vain' to 'not in vain'? It seems better if the Beijiang River flows forever." Zhou Ming walked up to ask.
The middle-aged handsome man suddenly danced and quickly put away the poem scroll. He walked quickly to a room in the castle, shouting as he walked: "Madam, Madam, Jian'er has written another good poem. Come and take a look!"
