    [1] "Jade House Spring. Chunjing-Shangque" Song Qi. Ci

    Gradually the East City feels better,

    A wrinkled and corrugated welcome flag.

    ? The green poplar smoke is cold and light outside,

    The red apricot branches are full of spring.

    Yougan and Qingwan left Qingshan Hutong, came to Gulou Street [now Anmenwai Street], and walked north along the west bank of Jishuitan [Qianhai].

    Qingwan's mood is getting better and better, the steps under her feet are much lighter in an instant, she seems to see the hope of spring:

    On the crepe-like water waves, the boat is swaying gently, and the wicker is dancing gracefully in the sunlight.  The apricot tree on the shore was dyed red by the setting sun, just like the branches of the apricot tree were full of apricot blossoms, and it was also enchanting in spring.  The peach blossom-like clouds are reflected on the water surface, making the entire Jishuitan a piece of red.

    Qing Wan didn't dare to get too close to You Gan, and always kept a distance of ten feet from him.  Yougan also looked back from time to time, for fear that Qingwan would get lost, and he kept telling him, "Don't keep walking with your head down." Little did he know that Qingwan was admiring the bracelet on his wrist.

    A woman wearing emerald is even more conjectural and memorable.

    Qing Wan, who came into view from the hustle and bustle of the dust, smiled lightly, raised her wrist inadvertently, revealing the jadeite bracelet on her arm, which was crystal clear and full of delicate emerald green.  That Cui'er, with its crystal-clear spirituality, with its vitality in emerald green, and with the beauty of its natural attributes, gave Yu Qingwan a more natural and unique

    Yougan couldn't help but stop, waiting for Qingwan to come, and told her: "When you get home, you can't wear it."

    Qing Wan asked suspiciously: "Why?"

    "You want your third aunt to eat me!"

    Qingwan stomped her foot and said angrily, "Then why did I buy it?"

    "Wouldn't it be more beautiful for you to enjoy it quietly in the room alone!"

    "No, I'm going to wear it!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left.

    "You walk slowlyyou fell again"

    "Don't worry about it!" Qing Wan walked even faster without looking back.

    Yougan hurriedly chased after him, and discussed: "You can also wear it when no one is around."

    Qing Wan stopped in her tracks again, stared at her two big eyes and said: "Isn't wearing jewelry just for others to see? Why do you want to be when no one is around!" After finishing speaking, she left again.

    "Then wear it when your third aunt is not at home."

    "When is she not at home?" Qing Wan rolled her eyes, "Besides, if she's not at home, who would be at home? Show Ji Xu?"

    "He, don't look at him!"

    "It's still!" Qing Wan was still angry, "I don't care anyway, you think about it, I want to wear it every day, when there are many people"

    "Hey, isn't this a trouble to buy a whole body!" You Gan followed closely behind, and suddenly suggested, "Hey, see if this works, just say that this bracelet was bought for you by your father."

    "Can she believe it? You don't know, or I don't know¡ªmy father is so stingy!"

    "I saw that you have quite a lot of jewelry. Didn't your father spend money to buy it for you?"

    "He? Heh!" Qing Wan said, "My little uncle bought them for me."

    "Your little uncle?" You Gan asked in disbelief, "It's not like he doesn't have a daughter, so why would he buy jewelry for someone else's eldest daughter when he has nothing to do?"

    "What kind of jealousy are you eating!" Qing Wan said, "It's because he bought a lot of gifts for his daughter. My little cousin was afraid that I would be greedy, so she asked my little uncle to buy some for me too."

    "Hey, how about we say that your little uncle also bought this bracelet? Anyway, he bought it for you before, so your third aunt has to believe it if you push this on him."

    "But my little uncle went to the south, how could he buy it for me?"

    "Why can't I buy it for you?" You Gan seemed to regain his spirits, "You think, this jadeite must be very cheap in the south. When your little uncle saw that this bracelet was very suitable for you, he took out the money and bought it.  I will send you off"

    "How did you give it to me?" Qing Wan sneered, "I put it on the neck of a wild goose and gave it to me? Even if it is a wild goose, it will have to wait until the spring equinox next year."

    "Why do you have to wait until the vernal equinox We have an urgent delivery [referring to the courier], put it on his neck let's go!" As he said, Yougan took Qingwan's hand and left, "I remember, the one in front  There is an 'Express Delivery Shop [Express Company]' in the distance, let's send it there and ask them to send it home, or else we'll have to."

    Qingwan followed him and asked, "Can I receive it during the Chinese New Year?"

    "Oh, the current 'urgent'The order comes from the morning to the evening, and the sound is heard and heard." It can be seen that the post system in the Yuan Dynasty was also the best dynasty in the construction of the past dynasties.

    In the ninth year of Zhiyuan (1272), someone went to Shangshu and thought that the name "Jidipu" was not pleasant, so it was renamed "Tongyuanpu".  Tongyuanpu is not only a guest house, but also an official post system, where special personnel are set up to deliver documents or military information.  The transmission speed is calculated on the basis of a day and night, 400-500 miles a day and night, and 700-800 miles a day and night when it is urgent.  Only holders of Haiqing Tokens can transfer to Puma in Tongyuanpu, and there is a dedicated post road for quick delivery of official documents or military information.

    (7) The fastest "range limit" of ancient "express delivery" - the stage horse "travels 500 miles a day, 16 stations"

    The Han Dynasty inherited the practice of the Qin Dynasty, "one post for five miles, one pavilion for ten miles".  On the basis of "five miles and one post", a "home" was built every 30 miles on the main traffic road, which is the so-called "change postage to home".

    Home, that is, "post home", also known as "pass home".  It was used to deliver emergency documents. At that time, the post office already had special vehicles, which were called "transmission vehicles".  At that time, express delivery by car was called "Chuan", and express delivery by horse was called "Yi".

    Horses must be much faster than horses pulling carts.  Therefore, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, vehicles were gradually eliminated, and horses became the main means of transportation for express delivery. This was called "horse delivery".  In the delivery process, it is generally "changing horses but not people", and the deliveryman usually runs the entire distance.

    Ancient express delivery has specific regulations on mileage and speed, which is called "range limit".

    ? During the Qin and Han Dynasties, express delivery was generally short-distance, with an average journey of 10 miles per hour. This is the requirement for ordinary mail, and it will be delivered on the same day.  If you use a transfer car, you usually have to travel 70 miles a day, and at most two to three hundred miles a day.  When riding a horse, the speed requirement is "four hundred miles a day", which was the speed limit at that time, which is what the ancients called "the highest speed".

    During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was such a limit on the speed of land roads: 4 stations per day for passing horses, 6 stations per day for riding on stage horses, calculated as one station per 30 miles, 120 to 180 miles per day.  If it is urgent, it is required to run 10 stations a day, which is equivalent to running 300 miles.  If it is more urgent, if you send a letter of pardon, you will travel 500 miles a day, about 16 stations a day.

    The express delivery "Ji foot delivery" in the Song Dynasty was created on the basis of step delivery and horse delivery. The earliest record appeared in the second year of Song Zhenzong Jingde (AD 1005).  Urgent foot delivery is not manpower walking, but also a kind of horse delivery, which requires a daily travel of four hundred miles.

    ?The urgent courier shop, the water horse post, and the courier office are collectively known as the three major institutions of the post post in the Ming Dynasty.  The related construction of the courier shop basically follows the Yuan Dynasty, from the construction of the shop, the internal manager, the inspection of official documents, packaging, and handover procedures, to the method of courier delivery and the specific requirements for the shop, it seems to come from the same model.  The mileage of the water horse post in the Ming Dynasty was "sixty or eighty miles from the land station"; the water station is generally longer than the land station.  In the Ming Dynasty, there were post-transmissions from the capital to the four directions, and the post-transmissions in various places also spread to the four directions around the county town, forming a complete and rigorous system of post transmissions throughout the country.  Has an indelible and inestimable contribution.

    (8) Leakage of express delivery information will be severely punished

    During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the first special postal regulations appeared in China, that is, the "Post Post Order" formulated by Chen Qun and others in Wei State, which is a milestone in the history of China's postal services.

    ?Because the ancient express delivery was mostly government orders and military affairs, if the express delivery becomes slow delivery, or the mail is delivered wrongly or lost, etc., it will be severely punished.

    The Qin Dynasty also had a clear statement on the requirements for mail delivery.  The "Law of Running Script" stipulates that "those who are in a hurry to execute orders and book offices, do it; those who are not in a hurry, after the end of the day, don't dare to keep it, and those who stay will issue a legal discussion."  This sentence means that the mail (document) with the word "urgent" should be delivered immediately, without a moment's delay. Ordinary mail can be sent on the same day, and there should be no backlog.  If it is not delivered in time, it will be punished according to law.

    ?The Qin Dynasty stipulated that if a document was dismantled or forged, but failed to detect it, a penalty of two grades would be imposed, which is the so-called "issue a fake document, don't know, and pay two grades" in "Legal Questions and Answers."

    "Tang Law Shuyi" stipulates that "all documents should be sent to the post and not to the post, and anyone who should not be sent to the post will be given a hundred sticks." Hitting the board is the lightest punishment.

    In the Tang Dynasty, if the courier was delivered late, or if it did not follow the post road (wrong way), it would also be punished, and the most severe punishment was execution.  If there is a delay in the delivery process, corresponding penalties will be imposed according to the length of time, the nature of the official document, and the consequences caused.

    The so-called "missing time" means delaying the express delivery.  The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulated that "all post envoys who check the journey will have eighty rods a day, and one class will be added every two days, and the crime will be punished for two years."  If it is military affairs, "the third class should be added quickly, and those who have abolished the que will violate the one-day increase in service flow, and those who are trapped in the hukou army and guarded in the city will be hanged."

    The Tang Dynasty also had corresponding punishment regulations for confidentiality or private dismantling, damage, and loss of mail.  At that time, "leakage", "suspension", "lostness" and "forgetting mistakes" were banned, and the punishment for leaking secrets was the most severe. "Tang Law Shuyi" (Volume 9) stipulated that "those who should keep secrets for major leaks will be hanged;  Those who respond to secrets for non-major events will be punished for a year and a half."

    For those who open mail privately, the "Laws of the Tang Dynasty" stipulates that "privately issuing official seals, the person who inspects the book will get 60 sticks, and the book maker will get 80 sticks.  Those who don't see each other will be reduced by two grades, and those who don't look at it will not sit."

    Since then, the penalties for postal violations in various dynasties are similar to those in the Tang Dynasty.

    The last thing to mention is that the official couriers in ancient times all held tokens such as tokens, that is, Chiyi certificates that are equivalent to passports. One pass can greatly reduce human delays in the express delivery process.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)?Those who respond to secrets on important matters will be twisted; those who respond to secrets on non-major matters will be punished for one and a half years.  "
