As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing is naturally extremely prosperous.
The current Emperor Hongzhi is also a wise king. He has always cared about the people and has always been light on corvee and low on taxes.
This time can be regarded as the most beautiful period of the Ming Dynasty.
As the capital city, Beijing originally had a population of one million. Now due to the rise of briquettes and the current prosperity of cement factories, there are a large number of cement factories in all directions outside the capital.
The cement factory is a labor-intensive industry. Especially in this era when there are no various kinds of machinery in later generations, a cement factory requires a lot of manpower.
The establishment of cement plants can also lead to the development of many other industries. The number of people working outside the capital alone has now exceeded 500,000, and it is almost possible to catch up with the population living in the capital.
On the bustling streets of the capital city, there is a constant flow of people, busy traffic, stalls and vendors, restaurants and teahouses, casinos, brothels, all walks of life are doing very brisk business, and all kinds of hawking sounds are noisy and harsh.
"Go and see, come and see, a big whale has been transported from Tianjin, it is as big as a house."
I don¡¯t know who started the news. In the streets and alleys of the capital, more and more people are discussing the matter of the whale. Some people are running quickly to tell their relatives and friends about the news. Invite some people to watch the fun together.
For whales, young and old men here in Beijing are naturally very unfamiliar, although the matter of whales has been spread from Tianjin to Beijing.
Some businessmen and restaurants even bought some whale meat from Tianjin, allowing the wealthy people in the capital to taste the taste of Kunpeng in the sea in advance.
"Big whale?"
¡°A whale the size of a house?¡±
"Is it true that there is such a big fish in the world?"
Now that I heard that a whale as big as a house was about to be transported to the capital, everyone who knew the news was skeptical at first. Everyone has seen all kinds of sea fish. There are already fixed sea fish stalls here in the capital, specializing in sea fish. Selling a variety of seafood shipped from Tianjin.
In order to attract customers, some restaurants will even buy some big fish and put them in front of their stores to attract customers and make their business more popular.
??Everyone has seen these hundreds or thousands of catties of sea fish, and many people have even tasted the deliciousness of various seafood.
¡°But no one has heard of a big fish the size of a house, let alone seen it.
"Of course it's true. I just came back from Tianjin. I saw it on the road, so I hurried back and told everyone to go and have a look."
"Let's go, let's go and have a look together. It is said that this whale is the Kunpeng in the sea. This whale is full of treasures and has many incredible and powerful effects."
The person in charge of delivering the message naturally replied swornly, telling vividly about the whales he had seen. Of course, some of them must have never seen it and were just hearing about it.
These three people have become tigers, and the big whale has not yet entered the capital. Various legends about the big whale have begun to spread throughout the capital, both inside and outside the capital.
Legend has it that this whale is the Kunpeng in the sea, a mythical beast. The skin of this mythical beast can make people sleep more soundly. If it is made into a cushion, it can make people fly ninety thousand miles like a Kunpeng, whether it is business or business. No matter if you are an official, you must have such a whale skin mat to have a prosperous official career and a lot of money.
¡°Some people say that the meat of this whale has the effect of nourishing yin and yin, making women more beautiful and men becoming more powerful, domineering and virile.
There is even a legendary saying that it is magical.
It is said that this whale's treasure can bring the father-in-law in the palace back to life. As for ordinary people, just eating a little bit can make them powerful and gallop on the battlefield.
Some people also say that the bones of this whale are sacred bones, whether they are used to make things to ward off evil spirits, or used to make fortune-telling things, or used to make daily necessities, etc. It can have many miraculous effects.
In short, there are many different opinions, many of which are miraculous and real. Some people who do good things don¡¯t even know what whales are, so they talk about whales in a garish manner.
With the news about whales coming to BeijingThe capital side is blocked on the main street. There are too many people leaving the city in front, and more people are pouring out from alleys and alleys, heading out of the city.
Now almost everyone in the capital knows that a big whale is about to enter the city. This whale is as big as a house and weighs more than 100,000 kilograms. It is a divine creature in the sea, a Kunpeng.
¡°As long as they have nothing to do, or people who have nothing important to do, almost all of them are walking towards the outside of the city, wanting to see if this whale is as huge as the legend says.
People love to join in the fun, especially when there is little information in ancient times. Something new is enough to arouse everyone's curiosity. A few squatting on the ground looking at ants can attract a group of people to watch, let alone this huge one. Big whale.
The streets are empty, and the capital city at this moment has never been so lively even during the triennial imperial examination and when the top scholar is parading through the streets. Some vendors heard the news and even walked out with their own stalls.
While joining in the fun, you might be able to do business. What's more, there are no people in the capital now. You can't do business if you stay here. It's better to go out together.
"what happened?"
"Why is this road blocked?"
Hongzhi looked at the crowded road ahead and couldn't help but ask Xiao Jing.
"Master, everyone is very curious about the whale in the sea entering Beijing. Now they are rushing outside the capital to see what this whale looks like."
Xiao Jing asked someone to inquire about it, and he replied quickly.
"That's true. Although I have read the memorial about this whale, I really need to see it in person to know whether it is really what the memorial says."
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to ask someone to clear a way?"
Xiao Jing looked at the crowded crowd in front, thought for a while and asked.
"No need, just wait, not to mention that the whale won't be able to leave for a while, so we have plenty of time."
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said, and then waited very patiently.
After waiting for half an hour, Emperor Hongzhi, Xiao Jing and his party finally walked out of Dongzhimen. Dongzhimen is the end point of the Beijing-Tianjin cement road. There is a huge open space at the entrance of Xizhimen. When the cement road was built, it was also used. Then this huge open space was hardened with cement.
Therefore, this huge open space has gradually become an extremely important point in the direction from the capital to Tianjin. Basically, the carriages coming and going gather here.
This has also become an important distribution center outside the capital. Many people will agree to meet here when they come to the capital. There are also many vendors who take a fancy to the huge flow of people here, so they come here to do business and buy and sell.
At this time, the place was already crowded with people. At a glance, there were people everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, crowded together, and even some of the surrounding big trees were covered with people. Further away, there were cement roads leading to Tianjin. There are also huge crowds of people on both sides, forming two huge human walls that extend to the end of the field of vision.
There were so many people, it seemed like people from the entire capital had gathered here. There were vendors selling snacks, snacks, candied haws, children's toys, and all kinds of small business people. He kept shouting, and business was surprisingly good.
¡°There are so many people!¡±
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the sea of ??people in front of him and couldn't help but said that it was the first time for him as an emperor to see so many people gathered together. Looking at this bustling scene, his whole mood suddenly improved. a lot of.
"Yeah, it's really lively, and it's nothing more than a crowd of people."
Xiao Jing smiled, nodded and replied.
At this moment, someone started cheering on the cement road.
"Coming~coming~"
¡°What a big whale, what a big whale~¡±
People who have seen the big whale in front are constantly exclaiming, which makes the people behind who have not seen the whale even more restless, and some people can't help but keep moving forward, wanting to see what this big whale is in advance.
