Entering the city and looking at the bustling crowds of people, Yao Pingzhong opened his Taoist robe, wiped a touch of sweat from his forehead, and said bitterly to Yu Yunwen: "It's all over August, and it's still so hot."

Yu Yunwen's face was also hot and red, but not as casual as Yao Pingzhong. Her long hair was still neatly tied, and her robes were also worn tightly.

Hearing Yao Pingzhong complaining, he looked at him with his chest and arms exposed. Yu Yunwen smiled first, and then sighed: "People say that eight rivers surround Chang'an, but now they are like this. We have come all the way, and the ditches are dry. I am afraid that even the Wei River can be leveled."

Although Yao Pingzhong was a military general and needed to be proficient in geography, he was not as good as Yu Yunwen for the environment. Hearing his feelings, he replied casually: "It is not a matter of corruption in Guanzhong. Our Taizu, Taizong, Zhenzong, and three emperors all wanted to move the capital to Guanzhong, but because the grain transportation was not going well, they had to give up. It is not that good to establish the capital of Tokyo, and the capital of the Celestial Empire is incomparable to other countries."

Yu Yunwen glared at him and said, "Why do the emperors want to move the capital? Brother Yao doesn't understand?"

Yao Pingzhong smiled without any worries and replied, "What is the risk of the geographical advantage? If Your Majesty was doing it now, what if the Jurchens crossed the river? There were hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside Tokyo City, afraid of a bird!"

The two of them had a very concealed answer, but they were actually very simple.

Since the founding of the Kingdom of Song, they have faced great difficulties and dilemmas of moving the capital. Today, Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and established himself, Luoyang and Chang'an were destroyed, Guanzhong was exhausted and could not supply the army and the court, so they had to move to Daliang. From then on, all countries in the Five Dynasties began to establish capital in Bianliang.

After the Emperor Taizu of Song usurped Zhou and established the Song Dynasty, he first established the capital in Bianliang and changed it to Tokyo. Then, he began to look for a suitable alternative location soon.

If we provide convenience for the imperial guards, civil and military officials and royal family in the capital, Tokyo is undoubtedly the best place. Countless rivers connect the connection between Tokyo City and Jiangnan, food and the items needed by various cities. They can be transported to Tokyo City at the lowest price. This is why Tokyo City has become the most prosperous and prosperous metropolis in China's history.

Or in terms of urban planning, Tokyo is not as good as Chang'an, but in terms of abundance and ability to radiate the surrounding economy, Tokyo in the Song Dynasty was far superior to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

It has its advantages and disadvantages. Compared with the eight rivers surrounding Chang'an and the dangerous Guanzhong in Tongguan Valley, Tokyo, located in the heart of the Central Plains, is in an extremely weak defense.

Whether from south to north or from north to south, Tokyo is in a state of extreme attack and defense. Since Shi Jingtang presented the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the Khitan and Jurchen in the north can easily go south along the Great Wall, and from the flat Hebei Plain, you can attack the bank of the Yellow River in a very short time. Just cross the Yellow River and you can reach the bottom of Tokyo.

Such a form is obviously a fatal danger to a country's capital.

Therefore, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the capital was moved to Chang'an or Luoyang, it has not stopped.

However, the decline of Guanzhong and the huge cost of canal transportation have made moving the capital increasingly impossible.

Yu Yunwen and Yao Pingzhong traveled to Shaanxi in the south of the Yangtze River, considering the customs and customs along the way. The Jin soldiers were stationed and when they passed by the old capital, although Yao Pingzhong couldn't help but shed a few tears and was in a very exciting mood. Both of them had the same opinion and felt that even if they could defeat the Jin soldiers at a certain stage, it was not a good choice to stay in Tokyo.

When I entered the Guanzhong realm, I looked different.

The earth is dry and cracked, and there are bare yellow mountains and deep valleys everywhere. Due to the continuous drought, large rivers have no water, small rivers have no flow, and no water conservancy projects can be used. The result is large-scale agricultural yield reductions and even no harvest.

The two walked along the way. Although they saw the strict defenses in various places, the government was also doing their best to help the farmers. They did not ignore them. However, the limitations and accumulated problems of the times have been long and cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

Although the emperor was in Chang'an, he tried to be frugal, the supply of the entire Shaanxi was still far beyond the past.

In this way, if we use the power of the whole country to transfusion blood to Guanzhong.

Naturally, they would not know that the severe drought in Guanzhong is clearly recorded in historical books, and it is caused by climate change throughout the continent, not every year.

When he arrived in Chang'an City, with Yao Pingzhong's rich experience and Yu Yunwen's talent, he naturally knew that it was not a problem to stay in Chang'an for the time being. If this continues, it would only drag the strength of the entire country, and the advantage of the geographical advantage retreated second, which would not be enough to bring victory to this battle against the Jin Dynasty.

Yu Yunwen was still young, thinking that man could defeat nature and was greedy for the benefits of Guanzhong. However, Yao Pingzhong was mature or conservative, and he never thought about moving the capital again.

Although the two were white at this time, one was a Song army general and the other was a young hero. As long as one was willing to come out and bow his head to ask the emperor for an official position and the other was willing to take the exam, he would definitely have a bright future.

Although the two of them refused to recommend the mutiny in Lin'an, they also knew that their performance in this mutiny was just to Tatianting.

In the past few months, the emperor has been secretly sending people to find them, which is also a clear proof.

This time when I came to Chang'an, Yu Yunwen knew that the Jinshi exam would be resumed this fall. Since he decided to become an official, he naturally had to go to the Grand Prix exam first so that he could be more convenient for his actions.

Yao Pingzhong was irresistible. While hesitating, he was eager to try. He followed this young friend with the reason of accompanying Yu Yunwen.

The two of them accompanied each other along the way, recorded the dangers of mountains and rivers, and observed the people's feelings. The relationship was getting deeper and deeper. Such experiences were rare experiences for both the mature Yao Pingzhong and the young Yu Yunwen.

Although it was hot at this time, even though it was under the feet of the emperor, even though the sun was scorching, it didn't feel very hard.

Yao Pingzhong has been a general for many years and has wealth. Yu Yunwen is also a descendant of the officialdom. Therefore, after a moment of conspiracy, the two decided to find a restaurant first, rest and have dinner, and then look for a place to live.

The popularity of restaurants in the Song Dynasty was not only far beyond the ancients, but also in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, they were also unable to catch up with them.

The Fengle Building in Tokyo is a foundation of more than ten meters high. The three-story restaurant can accommodate hundreds of tables and swords. The highest floor allows you to see the Tokyo Palace.

The royal family rules of the Song Dynasty were not strict. Not only could the emperor and concubines ask food outside to deliver it to the palace, but the royal family could also go out together during the Lantern Festival to taste the delicious food among the people.

Some emperors even went out of the palace in vain just to go to the restaurant to taste the food and look at the various aspects of the world.

As for Zhao Huan's father, Zhao Ji, while tasting delicious food, he also hooked up with the famous Tokyo prostitute Li Shishi, and said something else.

Like the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestor's family rules that he liked to eat more than three chopsticks and would not see when he eats next time was ridiculous and ridiculous, and it was really not worth sprinkling by the Song people.

Because Fengle Tower in the capital is too famous, large, medium and small cities across the country have imitations and imitations. Yao Pingzhong and Yu Yunwen didn’t go far and arrived at the downtown area of ​​Chang’an.

When I saw a long distance away, a towering restaurant was approaching. The huge wine guise clearly stated, but the words "Fengle Tower" were written.

The two looked at each other and smiled, both said, "Let's see how this family is."

When I was about to walk closer, I saw that the restaurant was not built on the street, but was led step by step into the depths of the alley step by step.

After walking around three or five alleys, I gradually heard the noise of diners and the smell of wine.

Better closer, there is a bamboo trellis with peach trees, and the peach forest is full of fields. The groups of birds are obviously raised in restaurants. They are not afraid of people and jump and chirp in the woods.

When Yao and Yu saw it, they felt happy. Yu Yunwen smiled and said, "It's really a fragrant wild flower, and the beautiful wood is beautiful, which is of a unique interest."

Yao Pingzhong also nodded and smiled, "Yes, although it is not as gorgeous as Tokyo, and there is no twig, but it is rare to have wild game in the mountains after all."

The two walked around and arrived outside the restaurant. A waiter had already come up to welcome the guests, and they couldn't help but have the same habit of welcoming skills.

Yao Pingzhong ignored it and said casually: "Is there still a private room?"

The waiter looked from a distance and thought that the two were distinguished guests. When he looked at Yao Yu and his clothes carefully, he felt that the two were not as good as usual, but he could only smile and said, "Two old guests, the private rooms on the second and third floors are full. You might as well go to the first floor and sit down. How about it?"

Yao Pingzhong glared at the sight and was about to have an attack. Yu Yunwen grabbed him and said with a smile: "What kind of private room are two people sitting in? It's so boring, it's better to be lively."

“Well.”

Yao Pingzhong knew that he did not want to cause trouble, so he had to give up in disappointment.

After entering and sitting down, he said to the waiter: "Since your store is Fengle Tower, is Meishou and the meaning of Meishou?"

The two things he mentioned are the famous wines in Fenglelou, Tokyo, and are well-known all over the world. The wines used by more than 3,000 small wine merchants in Tokyo are all purchased from Fenglelou.

"Yes, don't worry, you two, you are sure that you are not worse than Tokyo."

"You shop owners can only talk. Well, just put two pots in first. If it is not good, you can't spare you."

"Haole."

The waiter agreed, and soon after, he delivered the wine and food they ordered.

The Song people's restaurants have the most cups and cups, but it's fine to have a small rural restaurant. A slightly higher-end hotel would be a silver pot and a silver cup for guests. If someone familiar with the hotel would order a few wines and dishes from the restaurant, they would still send them to the restaurant with silver plates and silver cups, and they would not be afraid at all.

This restaurant is obviously also a wealthy place in Chang'an City. Yao and Yu took a quick look and knew that the property in this restaurant was not only made of sterling silver, but also made of fine sculptures, and the value was very valuable.

It's okay, Yao Pingzhong didn't wait for anyone to sift through it. He picked up the wine pot and drank a few big gulps.

This mouthful was like a long whale, and I kept drinking it before I put it down.
Chapter completed!
