Yang Ling sent an empty favor, but in fact, he didn't need to ask for it, let alone a few princesses to name and buy. Gu Dayong was originally a waiter in the palace. He didn't remember all these princesses well.
Gu Dayong bought more than ten carts of things earlier, and each box and cage was marked as belonging to the emperor, queen mother, empress, concubine and princess. Even the wives of Wei Guogong Yang Ling's family were very careful. One of them prepared an expensive gift.
Emperor Zhengde lived in Suzhou for more than ten days. It is estimated that the generals who were dispatched in advance are almost in place now. They only need to give them a little more time to control the army and deploy good manpower according to the plan. Zhengde can return to Beijing immediately and start a nationwide campaign. The political and military leaders have changed their defenses to completely eliminate all hidden dangers, so the trip to Hangzhou is still calm.
The people of Archbishop Ramario have witnessed the beauty and richness and strong economic strength of Jinling and Gusu, and they have been completely convinced by it. In the past, Marco Polo's travel notes to the East were ridiculed by people in the West, because they did not believe that such a place existed in the world.
Although some western adventurers have come to the East in recent years and witnessed what Marco Polo said, in the eyes of most people, they still think that they are exaggerating in order to lobby the nobles and obtain enough offshore sponsorship, but they have witnessed it with their own eyes. The richness and beauty here, they have to believe this fact.
Jinling City is rich and powerful, hundreds of times stronger than their emperors, Suzhou's municipal administration is a hundred years more advanced than their cities, and their largest city has a population of only a hundred thousand people, but here, they often see millions of people. In a luxurious metropolis with a large population, it is really dizzying for rural people to enter the city.
Now, they headed for Hangzhou City with great interest. And, of course, the innumerable fine gifts they had acquired, for kings and queens; for other nobles; for wives and lovers, and so on.
They have already decided to set up a commercial bureau in this coastal metropolis. Although they have not seen the beauty and richness here, but after seeing Jinling and Suzhou, they no longer have any possible doubts about Hangzhou.
Hangzhou does not have a long history like Suzhou. After Qin unified the six kingdoms, Qiantang County was established at the foot of Lingyin Mountain, which is now Hangzhou City. At that time, it was a beach that came and went with the tide, and the West Lake had not yet come out. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a seawall was built from Baoshi Mountain to Wansongling, and the West Lake began to be cut off from the sea before it became an inner lake.
It was not until the Sui and Tang Dynasties that Hangzhou, as the starting and ending point of the Grand Canal, established its status as a shipping center and trade center, becoming a well-known commercial city and an important trading port in the country. At that time, the tax accounted for 5% of Datang's national fiscal revenue.
By the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou was already known as "the first state in the southeast". At that time, Hangzhou ranked the first in terms of business tax and liquor tax in the country, followed by the capital Bianliang. When the Southern Song Dynasty established its capital in Hangzhou, chariots and hubs were stationed there, clothes and hats gathered together, and people's belongings and vassals were not what they used to be. Hangzhou became the center of the country. Although the Southern Song Dynasty was very weak militarily, in terms of prosperity, Hangzhou was already the largest metropolis in the world.
This situation did not change in the Yuan Dynasty. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the sea ban was implemented and the Japanese pirates harassed it every year, so that Hangzhou declined. However, after all, this situation has only lasted for more than a hundred years, and its status as a prosperous and rich metropolis has gone through hundreds of years. At this time, the residents of Hangzhou have not lost their due momentum in their bones.
Now that the sea has been reopened, Hangzhou has become the first port of foreign trade, and Yan Song, a young and capable magistrate, is guarding here. In addition, it has not lost its vitality and has a profound heritage. What does Hangzhou look like at this time? ?
The emperor entered the city of Hangzhou through the Yuhang Gate and stayed in the temporary palace at the foot of the lonely mountain. Yan Song, the magistrate, officials of all sizes in Hangzhou, and guarding eunuchs all came to meet him, and held a banquet in the outer building of the West Lake Building to meet the wind. There was a lot of noise until night.
The next day, Yan Song came to see him again, waiting for the emperor's inquiries about Hangzhou's governance. Yan Song's preparations were far more thorough than Gu Dayong's, his answers were fluent, and his conversation was extraordinary. Emperor Zhengde was overjoyed when he heard the words, and couldn't help but give Yang Ling a look of admiration.
Gu Dayong, Yan Song, civil servants in charge of taxation, commerce, local politics and economics, and credible generals such as Xu Tai, Li Sen, Bai Chongzan, Xu Tai, etc., were all recommended by Yang Ling. Now it seems that Yang Ling Sure enough, there are people who know people, and what these people do is really impressive.
After hearing Yan Song's statement, Emperor Zhengde laughed and said, "Come on, show Yan Aiqing a seat."
Yan Song was so flattered that he didn't even dare to say anything, Yang Ling smiled and said: "The emperor gave you a seat, how can you refuse, you just sit."
"Yes!" Yan Song bowed and thanked him for sitting down, and then he owed his assWith a flick, he stood proudly in front of the corridor and said: "Although the poor Taoist dare not say that he has known five hundred years at the top and five hundred years at the bottom, but with my way of doing things, it is difficult to seek good luck, avoid evil, and turn danger into safety."
Just as she finished speaking, there was a "wow", and a splash of water fell from the sky, drenching her like a drenched chicken.
Everyone was dumbfounded, but Yang Ling couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Fubao saw Yang Ling laughing at her, and for some reason, a wave of anger surged into her heart. She jumped away, clenched her fists in embarrassment, and shouted upstairs: "Which bastard threw water on me?"
