Great time travel

Bianliang City, Genyue
For the ancient city of Bianliang with a long history, "Genyue", a vast royal garden, is still a new thing with a short history.

Many people in later generations may not know what Gen Yue is, but as long as they have read the Water Margin, they should remember the Flower and Stone Gang in it.

This is an unknown name, because many people associate it with the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. According to legend, at the beginning of Song Huizong's accession to the throne, he had no heirs. , when you have a lot of men."

Literally speaking, it was enough to build a pagoda or a rockery, but the overjoyed Song Huizong insisted on making a big deal of it, so it was unacceptable-because there are thousands of miles of plains near Bianliang, and there are no high mountains. , less turbulent water, and Huizong believed that neither emperors nor gods could live in form, so he attached great importance to the landscape setting of Genyue.Taking the world's rare and strange spiritual stones, moving the beautiful and rare flowers and trees in the south, setting up carved corridors and curved thresholds, repairing pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and accumulating over a decade, Genyue has been built into the most beautiful entertainment garden in history.

This royal garden is located in Bianliang to the east of Jinglong Gate, to the west of Fengqiu Gate (Anyuan Gate), to the north of Donghua Gate, and to the south of Jinglong River, with a circumference of about 6 miles and an area of ​​about 750 mu.It was built on the basis of Fenghuang Mountain in Zhejiang Province. It artificially piled up soil and mountains, and moved poetic and picturesque feelings into the garden. With the theme of typical and general landscape creation, it adopted the skills of stacking stones and mountains in the garden. It is a masterpiece in the history of Chinese gardens. big milestone.In order to pursue the charm of the fairy family, dozens of large caves were set up in Wansui Mountain (Gen Mountain), the main mountain in the garden. Realgar and Lugan stone are hidden in the cave. Gather clouds and mist, making the air gloomy like deep mountains and valleys.

If that's all, the financial resources of the Northern Song Dynasty can still support it.The problem is that Huizong of Song Dynasty wanted to use Taihu stones to pile up various artificial mountains in Genyue.These Taihu stones were all transported to Kaifeng from Jiangnan thousands of miles away... One can imagine how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources will be consumed!In addition, there are many exotic flowers and herbs also taken from the folks in the south. For this purpose, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty set up an additional Yingfeng Bureau in Suzhou to collect rare items and exotic flowers and stones for the emperor in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Every ten boats for transporting flowers and stones is one gang)...the so-called typical example of playing with things and losing one's mind is this.

At the beginning, the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau paid tribute through the "Hua Shi Gang" and there were not many types of flowers and stones, and the quantity was limited.But the artist Emperor Song Huizong Zhao Ji had a very high aesthetic vision. The stone must be the exquisite Taihu Lake stone, and it must be decorated with countless exotic flowers and plants, so that you can enjoy the dreamlike Jiangnan style without going out of the palace.For this reason, the artist emperor did not hesitate to add officials and ranks to those who paid tribute to outstanding flowers and stones, and gave them great favor.

As a result, these absurd decrees turned into silent orders, which quickly turned into a commotion across the country.

—A book once said that under every sleeper on the American railways lay the dead body of an Irish worker.We also have reasons to believe that every stone on which Genyue was built has a story of blood and tears recorded by the people of the Song Dynasty.

In order to search for the unexpected flowers and rocks, officials from all over the country ran around with soldiers like dogs, and even the high mountains, deep valleys, rapids and dangerous shoals could not stop everyone's infinite enthusiasm for serving the emperor; For fun, if an official comes to the door and puts a royal mark on it, the value of this thing will immediately become a thing for the queen, and the owner must protect it properly; if you are not careful, you will be punished for disrespect.When it's time to ship, the walls are usually demolished, and the house is respectfully invited out.The families whose flowers and stones were confiscated were often bankrupted, and some families sold their children and daughters and fled everywhere-the history books only record that "countless people have lost their homes because of this", without explaining why people went bankrupt.In fact, it is very simple: the secret lies in the charges of "things for the imperial use" and "disrespect".This kind of crime belongs to the "ten evils" crimes, and if it is committed, it will kill people.If you know the current affairs and spend some "small money" to avoid disasters, hello and me for the New Year!If you don't know the current affairs, the officials can destroy your family with a frown, saying that you are disrespectful, and you are not respectful.It's really all-encompassing!

The tribute Taihu stones were not small, and not big enough to show the local officials' incomparable admiration for Emperor Huizong.Among them, in the fifth year of Xuanhe, in order to transport a mountain rock several feet high, thousands of people were even used to dig rivers and bridges, destroy weirs and gates, and it took several months to transport it to Bianjing.There are also stones that cannot be lifted by thousands of people, and are so big that the gates of Bianjing must be demolished to be transported in. It is almost as good as a Trojan horse!
Based on the conditions at the time, water transportation was necessary to transport such a huge object, and it was also a great test for the navigation ability of inland river vessels. At the time of Gangzhi, the scene of flying masts on the canal is probably not inferior to the luxurious dragon boats of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. , It is also the same as the scene of various anti-kings in the last years of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

——The Jin Bing in the north and Fang La in the south are considered by historians to be the two major disasters that destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty.

And the direct fuse that induced the outbreak of the Fang La Rebellion was the Huashi Gang, which has caused countless harms.

Therefore, Song Huizong's repair of Genyue, like Emperor Sui Yang's digging of the Grand Canal, has become a typical deed of a super prodigal son in history books.

In fact, in terms of historical merits and demerits, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty may not be as good as Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. Although the excavation of the Grand Canal is laborious and costly, the merits will last for thousands of years. Has it ever been of any benefit to the national economy and the people's livelihood?

Therefore, after Guo Jing Guo Daxian made a request, Song Qinzong, who had just become a superman, quickly wrote down the imperial decree and approved the entire Genyue to be tossed at will - anyway, as long as the golden soldiers break the city, this garden will be the same It will become a horse ranch for the Tartars. If Immortal Guo can save the court from danger, then he can get whatever he wants from the garden by himself.

Although he visited the scenic West Lake, the Suzhou Gardens and the Summer Palace in Beijing, and saw the Taj Mahal and the Palace of Versailles in scenic travel films, when he first stepped into Genyue, Wang Qiu was still fascinated by this Northern Song royal family. I was deeply shocked by the elegance and beauty of the garden.

——Buildings are pavilions, pavilions, halls and halls; mountains are caves, cliffs and cliffs; springs and ponds are rivers, gorge, streams, and waterfalls on islands.There are also lush trees and grass, beasts and birds, whose victories are hard to describe.When you come to the garden and look around in all directions, if you are at the bottom of heavy mountains, deep valleys and deep rocks, you don’t know that Bianliang in Tokyo is an open and flat land, so you forget the colorful world and customs, and you have the ambition to rise to the top of the clouds... Deeply trapped there Unwilling to extricate himself from the fairy-like happiness.

In contrast, the seemingly magnificent Grand View Garden in Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions" seems too narrow and ingenious.

It's a pity that he didn't come here to visit and visit the beautiful scenery of Chinese classical gardens, but to burn pianos and cook cranes, to tear down the garden and collect property to pay off Doraemon's debts... Hey, hey, it feels a bit like a fire British and French bandits in the Old Summer Palace?

In fact, after the outbreak of the Second Tokyo Bianliang Defense War, the current Genyue has been severely damaged-during the siege, the food stockpiled is limited and cannot be wasted.Moreover, the stones, bullets and wood needed for the defense of the city must also be raised on the spot.For this reason, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, who had nothing to do, had to order local materials from Genyue to kill all the mountain birds, waterfowl and sika deer raised to fill the army and save feed by the way.At the same time, those Taihu stones transported from the south of the Yangtze River, which cost tens of thousands of dollars, were transported to the top of the city, polished into stone bullets and thrown on the heads of the golden men...Because of the cold weather and lack of firewood and carbon, the city guards have even demolished houses in Genyue Logging, chopping those fine and rare woods into pieces, and throwing them into the fire to keep warm is extremely wasteful!
Seeing the good mahogany and huanghuali being burnt black, Wang Qiu, Guo Jing and other traversers couldn't help but scolded these imperial army red guys who extorted money... Next, they took advantage of these All the soldiers of the forbidden army drove away, occupied the remaining palaces and pavilions in the garden, and used Doraemon's various future engineering props to demolish and demolish all kinds of scenic spots at an astonishing speed. The carved window frames, beams and columns, tea tables, jade calligraphy and paintings, and art treasures inside are all thrown into Doraemon's automatic pawn machine...

Obviously, the speed of Doraemon's "relocation by order" was much faster than those officers and soldiers of the imperial army who picked up bits and pieces.

But it's a pity that the cash they got from pawning Gen Yue's property didn't seem to be as much as expected.

"...Persian glass wine glass... only [-] yen? Oh, that's right, the glass in the future is so cheap, and this glass wine glass looks very new, it doesn't seem to be an old antique... Official kiln lotus flower Basin, [-] yen... Engraving book, [-] yen... Silk sachet, [-] yen... Song Huizong Zhao Ji and Cai Jing's autographed copybook, [-] yen... The automatic pawn machine seems to regard it as a fake It's..."

Seeing a lot of odds and ends being thrown into the automatic pawn machine, but only a few yen bills were taken out from it, Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel deeply discouraged.

——The reason why antiques become antiques is fundamentally because they have endured the passage of time and the accumulation of history.At present, the famous "local products" produced in the Song Dynasty, ranging from Song Huizong's handwritten calligraphy and paintings to newly released porcelain from official kilns, no matter how beautiful and ingenious they are, without the baptism of time, they are not at all worthless. Potentially antique...unless artifacts from earlier times can be found...

If it is a pawn shop dealing with modern time and space, Doraemon can also use time furoshiki to fake it—this blue fat man has even done such weird tricks as umbrella fossils—but it is also an automatic pawn that is also a magical prop in the future. Opportunity, this kind of opportunistic approach will not work.

Moreover, in the pawn industry, no matter what era it is, it is very dark to suppress prices for customers... There is no way to do this.

Of course, as the royal garden built by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty with all the power of the world, there are many things that can be worth a lot of money, such as the high-grade wood used to build the hall and furniture, from red sandalwood, huanghuali, mahogany to gold. Silk nanmu, everything that one expects to find.The price of each ton of wood is hundreds of thousands or even millions of RMB.That is, from several million to tens of millions of yen... Especially the rare Hainan huanghuali, although it is not nearly extinct in the 21st century, it is very rare that it can meet the standard of success.Shortly after the founding of New China, private logging was banned, and only small-rooted wood can be used as medicinal materials. As a result, it is naturally very scarce, and occasionally even has no market.

In addition, Wang Qiu and the others also found a batch of more expensive agarwood in the most luxurious pavilions in Genyue Garden.This stuff has been so rare in ancient times that it can hardly be used as wood, but can only be used as medicinal materials and decoration materials.

As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, princes and nobles had already begun to burn agarwood to smoke their clothes to go to court.In the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to pursue the ultimate spiritual life, those extravagant scholar-bureaucrats advocated the four nosy things, namely tasting incense, fighting tea, serving flowers and hanging paintings. This cultural lifestyle combined with wealth and education greatly stimulated The Song Dynasty people's consumption demand for agarwood.Because there are many imitators of the four great things, high-quality agarwood is scarce and hard to find. At that time, there were legends of "one tael of agarwood, one tael of gold" and "Zhancheng agarwood, a piece of gold".In the Ming Dynasty, it became "one inch of agarwood and one inch of gold"... You know, the weight of gold per unit volume is much heavier than that of agarwood, and the weight of gold and agarwood with the same volume is very different. It can be seen that this thing How precious is the child.If it weren't for the royal gardens of the Northern Song Dynasty, it would be impossible to find so many agarwoods!
——Those who have played "Nobunaga's Ambition" and other Japanese Warring States games may know that there is a treasure at Todaiji Temple in Kyoto, Japan. Only a peerless hero like Emperor Meiji can cut a bit from the top to enjoy. Its value is no less than that of the Jiuding in ancient China... But to put it bluntly, this so-called "Lan She Shi" is nothing more than a piece of high-quality agarwood .

It can be seen that agarwood, a top-level luxury, was already priceless in ancient East Asia, and it is even hard to find in modern times.So much so that classmate Wang Qiu couldn't resist the temptation to get rich, and secretly hid a few pieces of agarwood in his personal space.

On the contrary, Political Commissar Guo Jing behaved very morally, facing so many exquisite antiques, he didn't take any of them randomly.

Of course, even in a royal garden like Genyue, except for a few of the most glorious palaces, it is impossible to use huanghuali and golden nanmu to build houses everywhere.But even the relatively cheap ginkgo, paulownia, teak, pine and oak used in those secondary buildings, due to the large number, after dismantling them and stuffing them into Doraemon's automatic pawn machine, The amount of money exchanged is also considerable.

The valuable things that Wang Qiu and others searched out from Gen Yue not only included all kinds of precious wood, but also some Tianhuangshi and chicken blood stones that were not very precious in the Northern Song Dynasty, but have become very valuable in later generations—because they were used by the imperial court. These Tianhuang stones mined from Fujian are almost all the best Tianhuang jelly. It is said that the whole stone is transparent, like solidified honey, and extremely moist.There is also a piece of "Orange Peel Red Field" with a color like orange peel, bright and transparent, tender and moist, slightly transparent, with hidden radish patterns in its texture, which can be called the best of the best...and those bloodstones are also bright red in color, with texture Gorgeous, but it has only one meaning for Doraemon - after throwing it into the automatic pawn machine, more money comes out!

Hey, who made them a bunch of vulgar petty citizens who are basically unrefined? !
In addition, Wang Qiu and the others also found some duan inkstones and rice papers as tributes from the court, as well as some high-quality pens and inks, which can be exchanged for some money after stuffing them into the automatic pawn machine.Finally, thousands of sika deer were originally raised in this garden.Although the venison has already been stewed in a big pot by the imperial guards to reward the Temple of the Five Viscera, the antlers and deerskin are still there, so they can more or less pawn some money.

In addition to the above-mentioned miscellaneous valuables, the more eye-catching gold and silver utensils and pearls and gems are basically hard to find, but Wang Qiu and the others are already quite satisfied-you know, at this time the emperor allocated them Gen Yue, It is not an intact royal garden full of curiosities, but a "crime scene" that has been ransacked.Due to the poor eyesight of the searchers, there are still many good things left in Genyue Yuyuan, but most of them are clumsy household items that are not easy to move and realize. However, it has already been touched by the guy who arrived first, and it is almost impossible to find it now.

In fact, even Guo Jingguo, the real protector of the country, monopolizes Genyue, prohibits soldiers from logging and demolishing houses, and uses it for burning fires and picking treasures. This has aroused public outrage—many things in the Song Dynasty have always been There is no limit to death.Just like when the Jin soldiers besieged the city, the rich and powerful in the city were still busy hoarding and driving up food prices, but they didn't know that they were about to be ransacked by the Jin people and made slaves.Many greedy people in the Bianliang Forbidden Army still regard Gen Yue as their treasure land. Although they have been plundered several times, there should be a lot of money left... But now they are taken over by some real person who protects the country Take it away, not allow others to continue to share the profit, and cut off everyone's way of making extra money... How can this kind of thing happen?

If it weren't for Guo Jing, Guo Dazhen had already shown a few magical powers on Dongshuimen before, first turning the goose feather snow into a thousand li sunny day, and then breaking the golden soldiers with mouth guns (sound coagulant), which shocked some ulterior motives I'm afraid someone has already knocked on the door right now!

Since the martial arts are not good enough, then the text... Therefore, under the clamor and instigation of some colleagues and subordinates, Zhang Shuye, the chief defender of the capital, bit the bullet and came to find the immortal Guo Jing "Ask for an explanation."
