Days are everlasting

Chapter 36 Moving the Capital

In the spring of the third year of Xuanhou, Ji Bofu married Deng Jun's daughter.

After getting married, Ji Bofu is an adult—although the territory of Xuanguo is in the southern border of Zongzhou, it takes more than half of the territory of Zongzhou to go to Haojing, the capital of the kingdom. In operation, it can also be changed to once every three years.

In order to see his son more often, Ji Gongyan actually thought of moving the capital.

In fact, moving the capital is also beneficial. After all, without the help of the troops of the princes, the declining Zong Zhou might be invaded by the Rong people into the king's capital at some point.

The Rong people don't know what morality and etiquette are. In history, the death of King You and many courtiers, and the looting of Haojing and Fengjing are good proofs.

In addition to Feng and Hao Erjing, Dazhou had another capital, Chengzhou, also called Luoyi, which was later named Luoyang.

During the time of King Wu, this was the capital for a short time, but later moved back to Haojing.

Chengzhou was much closer to Xuanguo, not only to Xuanguo, but also to Jin, Wei and other vassal states.

Because of the increase in the number of feudal princes and the tireless expansion of the princes of the past dynasties, Zong Zhou's geographical location cannot be called "China" now, but it seems a bit remote.

Later generations entrusted Qin, the original land of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was despised by other vassal states as a barbarian. Even in the Warring States period, among the seven heroes of the Warring States period, they were still despised by the vassals of Guanzhong, just because Qin was one of the few who did not have a "place" "Central Plains" vassal states.

In the Zong Zhou era, the Qin State was responsible for fighting against Xi Rong. Although their territory expanded, a comparison with a map shows that their territory had the highest overlap rate with Zong Zhou's land in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The territory of Zong Zhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty was mainly occupied by Qin, Han, and Wei during the Warring States Period, and the important areas of Zong Zhou were of course Feng, Hao Erjing and its surrounding areas, which belonged to Qin during the Warring States Period.

Qin's rejection is somewhat similar to the slightly embarrassing situation of Nian Zongzhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

For the royal family of this era, the princes were too big-hearted to manage it. Moving to Chengzhou, which was hidden in the "Central Plains" of the world, also announced to the princes that the central position of the Great Zhou was unshakable.

Ji Gongzhen chose to move the capital, and the princes who served in the capital thought about it for a while, and they all found the benefits of doing so, so they naturally gave their full support.

Another reason is that Cheng Zhou was positioned as a place to frighten the princes of the world in the Zhou Gongdan era. It used to be the capital of the Great Zhou. If the capital was moved, it would be feasible in terms of etiquette.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ji Gongyu is a stubborn master. As long as he has made up his mind, others cannot easily make him change his mind.

In order to take care of the newborn baby in the palace—Baosi gave birth to his younger brother, Prince Yi two months before Ji Bofu got married—at the same time, he did repair work on Cheng Zhou before moving the capital. It is scheduled for the 20th year of King Zhou, that is, three years later.

With the youngest son, Ji Gongyan at least had someone to rely on when he wanted Ji Bofu, and in the past three years, Ji Bofu could at least go to Haojing once or twice, which was enough.

Among them, the family letters between Ji Bofu and Ji Gongyan are indispensable.

For his father's ability to cause trouble, Ji Bofu is really convinced.

His younger brother was originally not called Ji Yi, but Ji Yuan or Ji Yi.

The word "Bo" in Ji Bofu's name, which symbolizes the first place in the ranking of heirs, is already hated by people. Unexpectedly, the name Ji Gongzhen gave his youngest son is even more outrageous.

As the saying goes, "one yuan starts again, everything renews", "one" and "yuan", these two characters representing the beginning, are used as personal names. This effect is similar to that of "Bo" in Ji Bofu's name. The famous saying of the later Emperor Shunzhi【No! 】It is "my first son"!

Ji Bofu tried his best to talk about it, and finally managed to get a relatively normal name for his younger brother. He believed that Ji Yi would thank him in the future.

Ji Bofu, who is committed to building the Xuan Kingdom, actually doesn't have that much energy to manage what happened in Zong Zhou's royal capital.

Because distance produces beauty, Ji Gongyan's love for Ji Bofu is not only not less, but also increasing day by day, and Ji Bofu is also skillful in speaking. His mouth has always been very sweet. When he was not in the country, he was called "No. Little Sweet Mouth" [Dark Fog], so Ji Gongyan could more or less listen to what he said.

As for Xuan Guo, Ji Bofu was mainly in charge of the less important aspects. After all, he had to take his time, and if he took too many steps, he would get hurt.

Ji Bofu set up a market in Kaiyi for people to trade, and the stalls closed when it was getting late. There is no night market, but it is enough in this era.

This idea originally originated from Ji Bofu's collection of grease for his wedding.

In fact, there are institutions that specialize in raising these "chickens, pigs, dogs and pigs", but Ji Bofu feels that this is not only a waste of money, but also a waste of an opportunity to lead Li Shu to make money.

During the slack season, farmers may become hunters and go hunting in the mountains, or some people have always lived as hunters.

In many historical materials, when it is recorded that King You of Zhou died because of Baosi, the origin of Baosi's "magic" is always mentioned. The palace maid gave birth to a baby girl because of the dragon saliva left over from the Xia Dynasty. The old couple adopted something, and this must be traced back to the period of King Xuan of Zhou.

At the time of King Xuan, there were nursery rhymes, and the clothes were worn by the hob, which actually perished in the state of Zhou.

檿, that is, mulberry, is a mulberry tree with tough wood that can be used as a bow.

To explain it in vernacular, the meaning of this sentence is that those who sell bows and arrows made of mulberry wood will be the ones who will destroy the state of Zhou in the future.

Therefore, King Xuan hunted down the people who sold bows and arrows made of mulberry wood all over the country—that is, in the territory of Zongzhou. An old couple from Baoguo also made a living by this. Baby, that is Bao Si in the future.

Regardless of how fantastic the main plot of this story is, people can't help shouting "this is not scientific at all, and it does not conform to socialist values", just look at the story, there are so many people who sell bows and arrows in Zongzhou, you know , At this time, hunting is not a high-end skill, as long as you buy a bow on the side of the road, you can start your own business.

Ji Bofu set up a market, and then asked people to buy the prey hunted by hunters in the market - part of it can be used to refine oil, and the other part can be directly cooked as raw materials for banquets - not only in Miyagi It has been circulated with the common people, and has provided a channel for trading the prey hunted by hunters for a long time.

The function of the market is to trade, and it is not just game that is traded.

The time has come to the late Western Zhou Dynasty, and the coins used by each princely state are also different from those of Zong Zhou.

As for the coins, Ji Bofu only had an impression of the coins of several countries in the late Warring States period, such as knife coins and the like. The five baht coin was a product of the Han Dynasty, and it gradually stabilized after a long period of adjustment.

Qin Shihuang unified the weights and measures, and also unified the currency, because the currency of the Warring States period was heavier than that of later generations-Ji Bofu really came to the second generation, and he still remembers the appearance of those pre-Qin coins he saw on TV at that time , compared to Brother Kong Fang, who is small and light, with a round sky and a round sky, coins such as knife coins and half taels are really heavy.

Ji Bofu thought about it carefully, if he pushed out the five baht coins now, what would the other princes do.

According to the different coins minted by various countries, the prices of circulation among them are also different. Maybe one Jin coin needs three or even five Xuan coins. It doesn't seem very good that Bofu is so independent.

Of course, after thinking about it in the end, Ji Bofu came up with a compromise.

There are two types of Xuan coins, one is twelve coins and the other is six coins.

In the fifth year of Xuanhou, the son gave birth to a son, and Ji Bofu named the eldest son Qi, which symbolized a new beginning.

Originally, he wanted to name his son Shidaidaidaishi. According to the custom of this era, he could add a father after it, which is the father of the world. But unfortunately, if Ji Bofu named his son like this, he would be Will collide with his eldest nephew.

Ji Yijiu named his eldest son Xiefu, and Ji Bofu made a high-quality imitation of his name.

In the 20th year of King Zhou and the sixth year of Marquis Xuan, Ji Gongyan, the king of Zhou, officially moved the capital to Luoyi.

When the king of Zhou moved his capital, it was a major event to change the center of Zong Zhou. In addition, after the capital was moved, the distance between the vassal states and the capital of Zhou changed, so almost all the vassals had to go to Luo for a pilgrimage.

Because the date of moving the capital has been set long ago, the princes who are farther away start their journey early, and the princes who are closer can take their time. Anyway, the arrival time will not be too far behind.

Ji Bo served Luoyi a little earlier than other princes. His younger brother has already been enlightened. Compared with him, Ji Yi, who is a pure and original ancient man, is of course not so "monstrous". He can learn everything, but he is also a smart baby. .

Moreover, in the youngest son, Ji Gongyu enjoyed another sense of accomplishment in teaching his son.

Ah, it feels so good to be looked at by my precious son with "Father is awesome" eyes!I feel like I have regained the feeling of my youth!

When Ji was young, she just couldn't stand Ji Gongyan's longing eyes, so she occasionally gave her father Wang Shun Shun Mao's bofu: MDZZ.

Because of the existence of his son, Ji Yijiu, his status in front of his father has improved. After all, there is of course a difference between a cute little grandson and a disobedient son with a paralyzed face.

Ji Gongzhen's current interests and hobbies can be summed up simply and crudely as "wife and children are hot on the kang". His hobbies are simple and crude, and his only wish is to live longer and see his youngest son also be enshrined in the country.

Ji Bofu: Daddy, you have finally grown up!

In general, Ji Gongzhen is still a person who loves waves, that is to say, he is not particularly loyal to his own job-king of Zhou.

This is actually a good thing, because people who love waves without harming their bodies can always live longer.

In the history of Zong Zhou, isn't King Mu the one who enjoys the country the longest, who loves to travel around the world and even met the Queen Mother of the West?

The author has something to say: the 窿船皮装, the real death of the state of Zhou, is the prophecy of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Of course, it may also be the Orz who was deliberately attached to it by later generations.

檿yǎn: [檿桑], a kind of mulberry tree.Deciduous tree with alternate leaves, the inner bark can be used to make paper, and the tough wood can be used to make bows and cart shafts.

Arc hú: here refers to the wooden bow
