Chapter 1827: Grand Dynasty Palace
Lingxiao Palace has a huge palace. This sentence describes the imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty Shendu City. However, the imperial palace of the Shendu City has not stopped building after it moved to Shendu. This is a huge building complex that surpasses the scale of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Each dynasty has its own main palace, the Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty, the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial palace in the Song Dynasty naturally had a mighty and domineering name, Ziwei Palace.
Ziwei is the name of the Emperor Star. Because of the taboo of the Emperor Star, it has never been used as the name of the main palace in all dynasties, but the Song Dynasty did the opposite, and used this as the name of the imperial palace to demonstrate the power and uniqueness of the Song Dynasty.
Ziwei Palace corresponds to Ziwei Emperor Star. This rockery mountain piled up with various stones is erected on the side of the huge square in front of Ganyu Hall, and the word Ziwei is engraved on the mountain.
This small rockery doesn't seem to be very tall or big, nor does it have any exquisite carvings or flowers that compete for beauty. There are only ordinary stones that cannot be seen anymore, but the mountain of this stone is of extraordinary significance.
Every courtier passing by would bow to it, not because of the word "crape myrtle" on it, but because of the extraordinary origin of this rockery.
Each stone that formed the mountain came from the place where the Song Dynasty fought south and north. Each piece was stained with the blood of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. It was the place where the emperor Zhao Zhen once personally led the army to fight.
This small rockery is the current territory of the Song Dynasty, a microcosm of the prosperous dynasty of the Song Dynasty. It is the peak of the Han Dynasty and a monument built with swords and swords!
It is really suitable to use it to represent the Ziwei Emperor Star in the heart of Chinese civilization and echo it.
Opposite the Ziwei Palace Stone is the largest and most magnificent palace in the Song Dynasty, Ganyu Hall. Although it is just a main hall, after so many years of continuous expansion and transformation, Ganyu Hall has become one of the magnificent architectural wonders that cannot be surpassed in this world.
Ganyu Palace inherited the dignity and majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and adopted the symmetry and grandeur of the palaces of the Han Dynasty. It is completely different from the Ming and Qing architectures in later generations, and is decorated with extremely gorgeous colors. Whether it is the carvings on window edges, the plate patterns on pillars, or even the lifting and flying eaves on tiles, they have been carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen.
Countless auspicious clouds and soldiers were engraved on the foundation of the hall, which highlighted the extraordinary nature of Ganyu Hall, which should belong to the Heavenly Palace.
After the court officials saluted to Ziwei Palace Shi, they began to line up in the square outside the Ganyu Hall according to their positions and identities. The head of the civil servants was not Fan Zhongyan, but the crown prince Zhao Xu. As the crown prince, he now wants to participate in the daily political life of the Song Dynasty.
Every court meeting, every ceremony, every reception, and even every memorial can benefit him. This kid is becoming more and more open-minded as he gets older, and knows his shortcomings and starts to learn wildly.
Zhao Zhen saw this and was happy in his heart. Anyone who had such a sensible son was happy in his heart. News about Zhao Yun continued to come. As the emperor's youngest son, although he could not inherit the throne, Zhao Zhen handed over the development and construction rights of a continent to him.
Moreover, Zhao Yun's love in Zhao Zhen's heart is more than Zhao Xu. Even if Zhao Zhen denies this to the outside world and the harem, he cannot deny it in his heart. It is always difficult for people to achieve equality. Even if it is absolutely fair on the surface, it is difficult for them to deceive themselves in their hearts.
Zhao Zhen’s favorite son is Zhao Yun, and the one he cares most about is also him who is far away from a foreign land overseas.
However, Zhao Yun did not disappoint Zhao Zhen. In recent years, he kept sending various specialties in a variety of ways, especially Kangaroo Peel and Orbo. Not only were the favorites of Shen's harem and the royal family, but also became an important commodity for trading with the Song Dynasty.
Of course, the biggest traders are wool, sheep bones, cow skin, and cow tendons. Fangzhou of the Song Dynasty was also Australia in later generations. After the arrival of the hard-working Song people, it goes without saying that fishing and hunting were their foundation.
After a simple communication with the local natives, Zhao Yun used the simplest and most effective means to make the other party surrender. A race who is unwilling to communicate with you can use war to make them "talk well".
Zhao Yun used the employment situation to reach a deal with the local indigenous leaders. Food and goods became the capital of the Song Dynasty. After experiencing the military conquest of the Song Dynasty, the local indigenous people already knew that the strength of these outsiders was not something they could compete with.
Moreover, this foreign chief has a high status. It is said that he is the son of the Son of the God. He has exquisite goods in his hands, such as porcelain, silk, glass products, tea, sweaters, etc., which are dazzling to the local indigenous people.
Soon they agreed to cooperate with the Song Dynasty to provide them with labor while constantly learning technology from distant civilizations.
After so many years of operation, what Zhao Zhen saw from the memorial was a gradually stronger and prosperous Abbot of Fangzhou, the only land that was enfeoffed by the Song Dynasty, and the future of this land will be better and better.
Now some of the people of the Song Dynasty have begun to take the initiative to go to Fang Abbott. Thanks to the continuous development of navigation technology, crossing the ocean is no longer a dangerous thing.
As long as the experienced captain masters master the time and hydrology and use the advanced seaships and navigation technology of the Song Dynasty, they can safely arrive at Fang Abbott. Of course, the seaship cannot go directly from Quanzhou or Hangzhou to Fang Abbott.
Instead, we have to arrive at Ma Yi first to go to the southeastern Three Buddhas in the South China Sea countries and then head south again so that we can reach Fang Abbott Island. Therefore, the land to Fang Abbott Island did not actually sail too far, and it was a process of constantly moving south along the land of the Song Dynasty.
The understanding of Fang Abbotta is still in a stage of exploration. Until now, the Song Dynasty's fleet has not yet explored this magical land after several years of arrival in Fang Abbotta.
The survey of the map is still continuing. The first thing Zhao Yun did when he arrived at Fang Abbott Island was to make local maps, and he wanted to take the map of the entire Fang Abbott Island into his hands.
Otherwise, if you don’t even know the size of your fiefdom and the situation of mountains, rivers and rivers, how can you manage it?
But with continuous exploration and discovery, Zhao Yun finally realized a problem. His father gave him a fiefdom comparable to most of the territory of the Song Dynasty!
The natural resources here are too rich, and the land is fertile, so you can grow crops even if you put a chopstick in it. The fleet landed on the northernmost side of the Abbot’s continent. Gold mines were discovered within half a year of the fleet landing and beginning to pioneer!
Even if thunderstorms and strong winds often occur, the Song Dynasty's fleets were reluctant to migrate. The temptation of gold mines was greater than anything else. The local natives could hardly mine technology and stored a large amount of gold by picking up.
