This is not the Datang I am familiar with

During the Three Kingdoms period, the world was divided into three parts, and the Shu Han and Eastern Wu were united, and they were almost destroyed by the Northern Wei Dynasty. It can also be seen that the population, economy, and military strength of the North are far superior to those of the South at this time.

Chapter 360 Picking a Maid

This pattern did not change until the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties. The north was at war for a long time, and a large number of people migrated to the south. By the Sui Dynasty, the south was already more prosperous than the north, and Jiangnan was the most prosperous.

When the Sui Dynasty destroyed Nanchen, Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty asked people to demolish the inner and outer city walls of Nanchen, which was healthy at that time, which was later known as the Jinling City Wall. Symbolism and deterrence.At this time, the population and economy of the South has surpassed that of the North.

The completion of the Grand Canal is to connect the north and the south, and connect the fertile land of the south, especially the Yangtze River Delta region of later generations.Let the products of Suzhou and Hangzhou, a rich land, reach Luoyang directly.

The second purpose of building the Grand Canal is related to the powerful system of the Sui Dynasty.

At that time, the north and the south were united, but the southern gentry was so powerful that it was almost so powerful that it could threaten the royal family.

At this time, it is necessary to communicate between the north and the south and control the south of the Yangtze River. In this era of inconvenient transportation, it is obvious that waterways can better achieve the purpose of communicating between the north and the south.

In fact, the construction of the Grand Canal was not started in the Sui Dynasty. The earliest construction of the Grand Canal began in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it took a long time, thousands of years, to connect the north-south waterways in the Sui Dynasty.

The Grand Canal was first built, but it was a section of Xuxi. According to legend, it was built by Wu Zixu, a doctor of the State of Wu, and it was named after him.

But at this time, Xuxi was built for military purposes.

The most important section of the Grand Canal, Hangou, was also built by the State of Wu to attack Qi from the north and compete for hegemony in the Central Plains. It is also an artificial waterway for military purposes.

Hangou communicates with the Huaihe River from Yangzhou to Huai'an, but in fact it communicates with the waters of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River.

The Grand Canal built in the Sui Dynasty is actually divided into four sections, Yongji Canal, Tongji Canal, Hangou, and Jiangnan River.

The northernmost point went to Zhuojun at that time, which was later the southwest of the capital of the Celestial Dynasty, and the southernmost point went to Hangzhou.

The Grand Canal connects the five major water systems, from north to south, the five major water systems are the Hai River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River, and the Qiantang River.

From Zhuojun at that time to Hangzhou, ships could go directly to Luoyang, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, through the Grand Canal.

At this time, the capital of the Tang Dynasty was in Chang'an, and it was very convenient to travel from Luoyang to Chang'an by water and land.

The Yellow River and the Weihe River can go straight to Chang'an, and the road between Chang'an and Luoyang has always been the most important official road in the Tang Dynasty.

The batch of weavers and embroiderers will arrive at the Tang workshop in early July, and they should have arrived in Luoyang by this time.

"Did Meng Fei send someone to clean the house?"

"It's already dispatched. Director Meng is doing things, so you can rest assured!"

"Well, with her, I can rest assured!"

At this moment, Tao Hong was hugged, Yin Ye was hugging Chen Fang tightly, and it was raining over their heads, but the three of them looked at the lotus pond and saw it was dark.

Only then did Chen Fang lose his interest, and returned to the courtyard with two maids.

Yiyang obviously got the news there too, seeing Chen Fang coming back at this time, he took Chen Fang's hand.

"My son-in-law, I heard that the group of weavers and embroiderers from the south of the Yangtze River will arrive at the Tang Workshop soon."

"Your Highness has also heard that it should be here in a few days."

"Then pick a few lovely ones and make them maids for the son-in-law. The maids who have heard of Jiangnan Tao are all juicy, especially the maids from Suzhou and Hangzhou are even more lovely."

Chen Fang looked at Yiyang. Doesn't his wife know how to be jealous?

At this time, I thought about how Yiyang was tossed by him at night, and there were two scenes where he couldn't help kicking himself out of bed.

Chen Fang hooked Gou Yiyang's upturned chin.

"Your Majesty sent them to the Tang Workshop to spin and weave clothes, not to serve me. I don't want them. Besides, it's enough to have a few Taohongs to serve, so what maids are there?"

"Just pick a few!"

Yi Yang shook Chen Fang's arm and acted coquettishly, but Chen Fang didn't know what to say when he wanted to refuse.

"My son-in-law, anyway, there are many weavers and embroiderers who will be sent to the Tang workshop this time. If you choose a few to be maids, your father will not say anything."

"Well, your highness can pick a few if you want, but you won't be my maid, but only two highnesses."

Yi Yang looked at Chen Fang, and wanted to persuade him at first, but seeing his persistence, he just gave up.

Be your own maid, be your own maid, and there will be plenty of ways to stuff it in your arms.

The dinner was simple, and after eating, Chen Fang pulled Yiyang to do big things, big things to create people.

In fact, the man-making project has been going on for almost half a month, but Chen Fang didn't know if Yi Yang was pregnant, so he could only continue to work hard.

Work hard at night and enjoy the comfort and happiness of farming.

On the second day, Chen Fang called Xueli to come to her. The girl didn't know what Chen Fang wanted her to do, and she hadn't finished practicing her handwriting yet!This is a daily homework, and the son-in-law asked himself to finish it.

Chen Fang took a bag of things to Xueli, Xueli took it, and opened it, but it was a bag of tea.

"Take the workshop carriage and bring it to Zheng Meiren from Qiuyue Xiaoju."

"Oh, Xueli is going now! Does the son-in-law have anything else to say?"

Chen Fang shook his head, and Xue Li left.

Looking at Xue Li's back, this girl is also well-behaved and sensible, she doesn't ask what she knows shouldn't be asked, and doesn't care about what she shouldn't.

There are many people who just don't know how to measure, and they are always annoying.But these girls are sensible.

At this time, Tang Gongfang's carriages can pass freely in the palace, but it is a natural pass.

As for whether people from Tang Gongfang would be suspicious if they went to Qiuyue Xiaoju, with Yiyang helping to cover it, there was really no need to be afraid of it.At that time, Yiyang said that he sent someone there, so who can say anything.

At this moment in Qiuyue Xiaoju, Zheng Meiren is sitting and tasting tea, which is also Longjing tea, a new product this year.

Xiyue was fine, she sat aside, propped her chin with her hands, and looked at her young lady quietly.

"Miss, I heard that the long corridor of the Tang workshop has been repaired, and the prisoner has withdrawn from the workshop."

"Oh, you care about that!"

"Miss, let's go to Tang Gongfang to play tomorrow, shall we?"

"Why do you think I don't know?"

Zheng Meiren poked Xiyue's forehead with her finger, and Xiyue hugged her young lady's hand.

"Are you going, miss?"

"No, it's raining these days, what are you going to do in Tang Workshop?"

"Hey!"

Xiyue sighed and looked outside, it was raining, but she didn't know when it would rain.

Think about it, it is really not suitable to go to Tang Gongfang on a rainy day, and you can only sit and sigh at this time.

Then secretly look at his own lady.

At this time, she couldn't see that her young lady was happy or angry, but Xiyue knew that her young lady must be very bitter in her heart.I must really want to go to Tang Workshop.

However, sometimes the word love is really difficult to understand.

Miss wanted to go to Tang Workshop, but she didn't go to Tang Workshop. Why, she was still thinking about that person.

Sighing again at this time, Xiyue stood up and went to the outside courtyard to breathe.

Suddenly the courtyard door rang, is it another beauty or talented person who came to talk to my young lady!

Chapter 361 The Sweetheart

This deep palace is lonely, but beauties from other courtyards often come to gossip with my young lady, and occasionally a certain empress comes.

Xiyue walked to the gate of the courtyard and opened the door, but it was a half-life face.

Xiyue knew that she was from Tang Gongfang, but she didn't know who she was. She went to Tang Gongfang to meet her.Isn't Tang Gongfang usually coming to Taohong, but today it is not Taohong.

"Did the consort or His Royal Highness send you here?"

"My son-in-law asked me to give this tea bag to Zheng Meiren."

Xiyue took the tea bag.

"What else did the son-in-law say?"

Xueli shook her head, Xiyue felt a little lost.

"The things have been delivered, and Xueli has returned."

"Well, I made a note, your name is Xueli, a nice name."

"It was changed by the son-in-law. It used to be called Yali."

Xiyue couldn't help smiling.

"My son-in-law really knows how to change his name. Xueli sounds really nice. My name is Xiyue."

"Well, I also wrote it down, Xiyue is also nice, Xueli is gone, remember to give this bag of tea to Zheng Meiren."

"Yeah! Go back and help Meiren Zheng, thank you son-in-law."

"must!"

The two maids looked at each other and smiled, Xueli took the Tang Workshop carriage and left.

At this time Xueli left, Xiyue sighed while hugging the bag of tea, but looked at the bag of tea, but hugged her tightly.

Although the son-in-law didn't let me tell you anything, but after all, I gave you something, the young lady should like it very much, and the young lady also likes to drink tea.

In the past, I always thought that the son-in-law would forget the old one when he got a new love, but when he always thought this way, he would be slapped in the face immediately, and the slap in the face hurts every time.

At this time, Xiyue also understood that the son-in-law is by no means the kind of person who forgets the old one when he has a new one, he always remembers his young lady.

At this moment, I hugged the tea bag tightly and went to the lady's room.

"Miss, who do you think is here?"

"Who's here?"

"Miss is like this again, I don't guess every time. The person who came was Xueli, the maid of Tang Gongfang. Miss, look, the son-in-law asked her to hand it to the lady."

Xiyue handed the bag of tea to her young lady. At this time, Zheng Meiren took it and opened it carefully. This is a good bag of West Lake Longjing.

"Xiyue, take a glass bottle."

Xiyue fetched it, Zheng Meiren carefully poured the tea into the glass bottle, for fear of spilling a piece.

At this time, I was about to throw away the paper bag, but suddenly I saw a few words on the paper bag of tea.

"I heard that the most famous tea by the West Lake is Ruqian Longjing, so I asked Sister Zheng for the taste of this tea."

Xiyue also saw those words over there, but she didn't know them, and she didn't know them.

"Miss, what did the son-in-law write?"

"Let you learn to write with me. If you don't learn, Miss Ben won't tell you."

"Miss, please, tell Xiyue! Xiyue will warm your bed tonight!"

"Who told you to warm the bed!"

Zheng Meiren lay next to Xiyue's ear, and said a few words lightly.

"My son-in-law is really bad, so I asked the young lady to make tea for him."

"He wants to smell me all the time! Isn't it good?"

"Then the tea is covered, let's send it to Tang Gongfang."

"It's okay if you think carefully, we will send it to Tang Gongfang tomorrow, and I will cover it all night tonight."

"Miss cares most about the son-in-law's affairs. Would you like Xiyue to help cover it?"

"No, I care about him because he is my sweetheart."

The master and servant were chatting there, Xiyue could clearly feel that her young lady was in a much better mood at this moment.

Although the young lady talked and laughed with herself and other talented and beauties on weekdays, there was always a lingering sorrow in her heart, and now the sorrow obviously faded away.

When I go to Tang Gongfang tomorrow, this sorrow should dissipate.

At this moment in the Tang Workshop, Chen Fang took Yiyang to inspect the cleaned courtyards. This time there were tens of thousands of embroidered women and weaver girls from the south of the Yangtze River. These people lived in the Tang Workshop. She suddenly became nervous.

Fortunately, these weaving girls and embroiderers are all daughters. If there are both men and women, it will be more difficult to arrange.

At this time, the personnel of Tang Workshop can be roughly divided into several categories.
