Of course, Grand Immortal Guo Jingguo's act of vandalism in demolishing the temple did not cause any trouble or criticism.
Now is the time when the war is in danger, and everything must give way to the war.
Even the Taihu Stone in the royal garden of the Song Dynasty was broken into pieces by the city guards and used as stone bullets, loaded with catapults, and used to bombard the Jin people outside the city.
Therefore, Guo Jing just casually said that he had just been practicing " "Maoshan Five Thunder Zhengfa" prepared to bombard the Jin people, but unexpectedly blew up the house accidentally, so everyone dispersed with admiration on their faces.
At this moment, the east is getting white.
Looking up, I can see a row of crystal clear ice hanging under the eaves.
The yard is full of jade trees and Qionghua, pavilions, flowers, trees, pools and rockeries, all evenly covered with a layer of ice.
The thin snow is like a vague fairyland.
Immediately afterwards, as the morning bell of Daxiangguo Temple came slowly, the brilliant and blooming Kaifeng Mansion ushered in another dawn.
Wrapped in silver, this legendary city with a population of one million fully demonstrates its charm to visitors thousands of years later: From Xuandemen to Nanxunmen, there is an imperial street that is ten miles long and 220 paces wide.
Even in the siege, there is still an endless flow of pedestrians, countless merchants, traders, and foot soldiers.
Although the sky has just brightened, it is already crowded and lively.
There are vendors doing business everywhere among the neighbors, and there are restaurants on both sides of the road visited by ordinary people.
Braised pig and sheep heads and roasted chicken and duck are hung on the counters, and there is a large pot for making porridge or soup at the door.
The iron pot gave off strong fumes, smelling of sweat and dust.
Not to mention breakfast, just lunch and dinner, many ordinary residents in Tokyo will also do it outside, cooking without making a fire, which is as convenient as the life of urban office workers in later generations.
At the same time, there was also a shop selling noodle soup and boiling water.
In ancient times, it was inconvenient to light a fire.
Those who were too lazy to light a stove and boil water in the morning would go to these stalls to wash their faces and rinse their mouths.
In short, this was a prosperous society that was highly commercialized and citizen-oriented.
On both sides of the imperial street are two strip rivers five feet wide, with jade-lined banks, shining brightly.
There are also peaches, plums, pears, and apricots planted on both sides of the river.
Although it is the cold winter and the vegetation is withering, you can still imagine the enchanting scene of thousands of flowers, red peach, and white apricots lining the Royal Street in the bright spring.
This is Bianliang, Tokyo in the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Mansion where countless legends and stories were born, and a place where prosperity and splendor gathered in the world.
Standing on the pagoda of Tianqing Temple, overlooking the vibrant Kaifeng of the Song Dynasty, Wang Qiu couldn't help but be fascinated for a moment, as if he had seen the scrolls of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", Bao Qingtian, Water Margin, Guillotine, and Five Rats in Tokyo. , appearing vividly beside him.
However, all this prosperity and prosperity will disappear in just a month or two.
Although he is not a savior, Wang Qiu still doesn't want all this prosperity and civilization to be destroyed by death and barbarism.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of Tianqing Temple.
It turned out to be the servant serving Guo Jing, who had returned from buying breakfast on the street.
I saw them holding hands full of food and carrying large and small lotus leaf bags, and the faint aroma could be smelled from a long distance away.
By the time Wang Qiu walked down from the pagoda and came to the dining hall inside the temple, the table was already filled with steaming assorted chews and fruits.
Doraemon and Nobita Nobita were already sitting at the table unceremoniously, grabbing these fragrant and delicious breakfasts and stuffing them into their mouths.
As for the political commissar Guo Jing, he was sitting next to him with the same smile, eating haise and introducing these Song Dynasty delicacies to the guests: "These are fragrant candies, but there is a little less sugar; and the fried tongs are really good when they are hot."
Eat; this is roasted pork skin, which is quite famous.
In addition, there is also the Granny Cao meat pie, which is a famous product in Bianliang, Tokyo.
People queued up for a long time to buy it."
Seeing them wolfing down the food, Wang Qiu was dumbfounded at first, and then he shouted, "Why don't you leave some for me?"
He quickly rushed over and grabbed those liver-stuffed rice porridge and braised duck eggs. , Sashizi, donkey meat roasted and other breakfast snacks, I started chewing them without hesitation.
After one bite, I realized that it was a pure, natural and pollution-free good thing.
It was much better than the unchanging soy milk and fried dough sticks of later generations. .
In no time, they had finished the table of sumptuous breakfast they had just bought.
Then they wiped their mouths and drank a bowl of pepper soup tea.
It felt slightly similar to the spicy soup of later generations.
In the cold weather, Drinking it in the cold winter makes you sweat and feel refreshed.
It is a great pleasure.

After a sumptuous breakfast, Tianqing Temple gradually became noisy.
People from the market came one after another to sign up for Guo Jing's "Liujia Regular Soldiers", and there were also several documents sent by the government to recruit "Liujia Soldiers" who had already enlisted in the army.
Wang Qiu, Doraemon and others couldn't get involved in these chores, and Guo Jing was also not interested in it, so he had someone hitch a carriage and go to the most lively Prime Minister's Kingdom in Tokyo.
A visit to the temple.
Although this Daxiangguo Temple is called a temple, it is actually divided into eight branches, each with its own abbot.
Two Chanyuan and Liuluyuan.
It occupies a very large area, spanning several streets and several miles on one side.
In Xiangguo Temple, the 300-foot Paiyun Pavilion towers into the clouds, and Wu Daozi's murals and Yang Huiwen's statues are dazzling.
There is also a stone with the names of Jinshi, and rows of stone tablets with the names of Jinshi, which have been arranged since the time of Taizu to the present.
The market in front of the Daxiangguo Temple is the most famous commercial street in Bianliang, Tokyo, just like Nanjing Road in Shanghai in later generations.
The Wangfujing market in Beijing is generally open five times a month.
No collection; rare things from all over the world are gathered here."
"All business and travel transactions are gathered here.
Those who come to the capital from all over the world to sell goods and resell other things must be because of this."
Daxiangguo Temple was the distribution center for the national commodity trade at that time, and its prosperous situation was specially recorded in the "Trading of Ten Thousand Surnames in Xiangguo Temple" in Tokyo Menghualu.
Although the capital is currently under martial law and war is in danger, and most of the shops have to close down, you can still feel the bustling and prosperous scene there.
Even the few shops that are still open sell almost everything from cloth and silk, jade jewelry, pastries and meals to groceries from the north and south.
The shops and streets are also quite clean and orderly, almost the same as the shopping streets in small cities in later generations.
There were even many immigrants from places such as Northern Liao, Xixia, Tianzhu and even Dashi who moved to Bianliang.
Most of them made a living as merchants in the city, bringing colorful foreign customs to the Song people, which made Bianliang a political and political center in China at that time.
The economic and cultural center has suddenly become a prominent international metropolis.
Of course, the traces of the war on this city are also unusually obvious.
On the street corners covered with snow, refugees who died of cold and starvation can be seen everywhere, and every corpse is turned blue by the cold.
There are more people living on the streets, struggling in the cold and hunger.
Although they risked their lives to escape into Kaifeng City and temporarily avoided the butcher's knife of the Jin soldiers, after all their belongings were exhausted, they were still suffering from hunger and cold.
They fell to death one after another.
Even the old residents of Kaifeng are living a very difficult life right now, because as the Jin soldiers besiege the city, land and water transportation is cut off, industry and commerce come to a standstill, and countless citizens are unemployed and have no income, while prices in the city are soaring: a bucket of rice costs 800 wen.
A bushel of wheat costs 700 cents, a pound of donkey meat costs 1,300 cents, a pound of mutton costs 1,200 cents, and a pound of pork costs 1,100 cents.
It can be said that there is no most expensive, only more expensive; there is no most outrageous, only more outrageous.
What's even more terrible is that, as if God was going to destroy the Song Dynasty, this year the Central Plains actually encountered severe cold weather that had never been seen in a century.
As the Jin soldiers besieged the city for a long time, the millions of residents in the city not only lacked food, but also lacked firewood and coal for heating.
Right now in Bianliang City, at least hundreds of people are dying of cold and starvation every day.
Although the imperial court provided some relief, it was a drop in the bucket.
"Nowadays, all industries in the city are dying, but prices are soaring every day.
The breakfast we just spent was enough to host the best banquet in normal times."
Looking at those half-buried in the snow, Now a down and out man with little chance of survival, Guo Jing couldn't help but sigh and said, "The reason why my more than 7,000 Liujia magic soldiers were so easy to recruit is because everyone is living a hard life and are anxious to get a ration of military rations."
"In this case, should I find a way to raise a batch of grain and sell it?
Not only can I make huge profits several times, but I can also gain the gratitude of the soldiers and civilians."
After Wang Qiu thought about it, he suddenly had an idea to make a fortune, "Besieged the city.
Among them, food should be the most popular commodity.”
However, Guo Jing expressed disapproval of this suggestion: "I advise you not to do this, as you will offend a lot of people to your death."
"How is it possible that Kaifeng, which is besieged by Jin soldiers, is unwilling to bring food in from the outside?"
Wang Qiu exclaimed in surprise.
"How do you put this?
Do you think there is really a shortage of food in this city?"
