Jiankang is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, of course there is a ferry, and there is not only one ferry, there are more than 20 places, the three largest ferries are on the side of the city wall on the north side of Jiankang City.
The Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Basin have always been relatively densely populated areas in the Central Plains Dynasty, mainly because of the abundance of water sources, which is related to farming, and having enough water sources means that the irrigation system is developed, and with more output, of course, it can feed more people.
The reason why Jiankang has developed to a population of more than 2 million is that it is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, in addition to the abundance of water resources, it is also the application of the Yangtze River water transport after years of development.
In fact, Jiankang was the first city in the world with a population of more than one million, and if history had not been changed by Liu Yan, it had grown to 2.3 million inhabitants, more than the population of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty, and Bianjing in the Song Dynasty.
The total official population of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was close to five million, and Jiankang alone had a population of nearly two million, which was an exaggeration.
And according to the official household registration statistics of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the population of Yangzhou, which is not counting Jiankang residents, is nearly 2 million, and it is conceivable that the rest of the territory should be so vast and sparsely populated.
A considerable part of Yangzhou's population migrated from the north of the Yangtze River, and more than one million people went south just by "crossing the south in clothes", and then fled a lot south one after another, which also made Yangzhou the most problematic area, and the conflict between the so-called "northerners" and "southerners" has never stopped.
Kyoguchi was a large port that was once used as a fleet base, but was later converted to civilian use.
Because of the port's geographical location near the mouth of the Yangtze River, the inland waterways and sea shipping of the Han Kingdom were well developed, and Jingkou gradually showed its commercial role, and it became extremely prosperous in just seven months.
Liu Yan stepped on the land south of the Yangtze River, and when he came to Jingkou, the first thing he saw was rows of shops, but because of the clearance, he couldn't see the crowds that the market should have.
Cai Xian, the urging officer of the "people" Jingkou, was asked where the people were arranged, and he hesitated and said: "There are shops and warehouses, and most of them are temporarily invited to the open space in the wild. ” The so-called urging officer is actually the manager of the market, who is responsible for counting the types and quantities of goods and supervising the flow of goods.
Jingkou is not a county, there is no so-called county order, it is independent outside Dantu County, urging officials is the largest official position, below there are Jicheng, Jiwei, Liucao and many small officials.
Speaking of warehouses, the fleet can see a large neat area of warehouses on the Yangtze River, which are located at the foot of a hill on the southeast side of Jingkou.
Jingkou changed to civilian, from the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River down the ships will basically be temporarily docked before going to sea, many caravans are valued by the geographical location of Jingkou, which makes Jingkou a very important cargo transit station, that is, of course, the existence of a warehouse.
Liu Yan didn't have much feeling about his arrival, he knew that it was part of the majesty of the king, as a king really had to be close to the people without a bottom line, it would not be good for himself or the country, especially under the premise that there was only Liu Shen and only two men in the royal family.
No joke, a king is really stupid to put himself in danger and not take his own safety seriously.
If there is really an assassination, the country will inevitably fall into turmoil if it dies, and if it is not dead, it will cause a political earthquake, anyway, as long as there is an accident, it is definitely the majority of people who are unlucky, and it is definitely not the king alone who has an impact.
So, don't talk about the good things about how kings treat their subjects, that they don't do bad things, and so on.
It is the right thing to do with the utmost caution to ensure safety, let alone why you should do the kind of "self-isolation from the people", especially in ancient times.
Liu Yan walked around in person, and could notice that there were quite a lot of people behind the door panels of each store, and some of the larger door panels could see a pair of curious and awe-inspiring eyes.
"It seems that Kyoguchi is really developing well."
Liu Yan happily pointed to various signboards on the street: "Food, drink, clothing and shelter are all available." ” Cai seemed fortunate to be able to hang behind Liu Yan, and under Cai You's gaze, he almost said with a flattering face: "It's all the work of the king's instructions." ” Then it is not wrong to say that the conversion of Jingkou to civilian use is an instruction from Liu Yan, considering that there is really a need for a cargo transfer station on the edge of the Yangtze River estuary, but Liu Yan has not paid attention to the follow-up development.
At least two or more sergeants stood guard near each shop, which was a necessary kind of guard.
The sergeant in one of the rooms slapped the door panel at Liu Yan's signal and shouted to the people inside to put away the door panel.
The so-called door panels are long but not wide wooden panels, which are stuck in a kind of card slot.
At this time, the store basically uses the door panel, that is because the store needs to have a relatively wide façade to open the door to do business, and then the hinge has not yet been invented, the traditional door occupies a large space, and it is undoubtedly the most suitable to use the door panel to disassemble and assemble.
When the people inside closed the door panel, more than a dozen sergeants came to guard it, and the door panel was slightly retracted, and the people inside could already be seen, which was a crowded scene.
The people who were huddled together, when they were gradually put away in the door panel, most of them were already sweating, and almost everyone looked like they wanted to see Liu Yan but didn't dare to look at it.
"The villain meets the king" "The Little Knock to the King" People went out of the store under the urging of the urging official, and knelt on the ground one by one on the street, and the words shouted out of their mouths were uneven, some were kneeling with sacrifices, and some were directly throwing themselves to the ground, and the scene was a little messy.
"The Han family did not kneel except for sacrifices and criminals."
Liu Yan said the truth, and his voice sounded very gentle: "Get up." ” Whether it is the first Han Dynasty or the current Han Kingdom, they do not advocate kneeling on the ground, and the people see the officials that they bow down and salute, and the officials only need to bow down when they see the king, and only when they are sacrificed, they will kneel and salute, and the other is that the criminals lose the right not to kneel.
So even when the people see the king, they really just need to bow down and turn around, and don't be stupid and keep staring.
It is not to say that the reasons for worrying about kneeling and bowing will lose their backbone if they become a habit, it is probably a kind of respect for the people under the rule of people, and it was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties that officials must kneel to form a rule.
Liu Yan just wanted to see what kind of cloth was sold in this cloth shop, first a sergeant went in for a detailed inspection, and then went in to see that most of the shelves were silk and Shu brocade, on the contrary, there was very little linen, so he summoned the shopkeeper of the store.
The shopkeeper was a fat man who looked a little pampered, and he could see that he was in absolute tension, as if his body would fall to the ground at any moment.
Liu Yan is a king, whether he wants to put some music or not, Xun Xian will ask some questions instead.
"Most of the silk is native to Yangzhou, and Shu brocade is purchased from Shu by using the Yangtze River."
The shopkeeper didn't speak well, stumbling as if he had a stutter, and wiped his sweat while talking: "The small one is not retail, but the samples are placed on the container, and after the customer places an order, it is shipped from the warehouse." ” It can be seen that there are many samples in the store, a variety of colors of silk, Shu brocade, and numb forest.
There are also a lot of ready-to-wear clothes, which are basically embroidered with some gorgeous and intricate patterns or patterns, and you can even see embroidered dragon-shaped patterns.
Now the dragon does not refer to the Son of Heaven, and there is no such thing as the so-called taking care of the dragon body, and the dragon does not only have one appearance, the more common one is the dragon that soars through the clouds.
Jin and Wei demeanor, how to come without a spectrum, there are a lot of imaginary ideas, the dragon is in the Wei and Jin dynasties only appeared with clouds and fog accompanied by color, giving the dragon a flight design.
The dragons of the pre-Qin period were either simple and cute, or they were like big snakes.
The dragons of the Han Dynasty are more powerful and majestic.
By the way, many people may not believe it, but there are really not many dynasties that have lifted the dragon to an unprecedented height, and there are few dynasties that have used the dragon as a totem, on the contrary, the bird totem is more popular.
The dragon was officially certified until the Ming Dynasty, and it was not until the Manchu Dynasty that it was stamped with an exclusive brand by the emperor.

I really don't know how the modern legend of the dragon appeared, anyway, in the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if you dare to say that you are the descendant of the dragon, you will definitely be pulled to the vegetable market and wipe off your head.
"The people walking here are all merchants."
Cai You must have gone to understand the situation in Xiangxi, and said to Liu Yan as he walked: "In addition to eating, drinking and lodging, they are all big deals. ” Liu Yan has discovered that although Jingkou is a ferry, the scope of the area is really large, which is wider than that of some counties, and the land used to build warehouses alone is very large.
In fact, Jingkou is now used as a north-south trade center, whether it is north or south of the Yangtze River, including Bashu and other places of goods are transported here as much as possible, and then purchased by merchants from all over the country for diversion.
Such a situation will occur, naturally with the Han Kingdom's effective use of inland waterways and sea navigation, taking inland waterways and sea transportation is far more convenient than land, and it can also save more costs.
Liu Yan recalled for a moment and asked: "If the widow is not mistaken, Penglai in Qingzhou and Panyu in Guang 1 Prefecture are the other two big urges."
Cai You's management is resource allocation, and business is also within the scope of his authority, affirming Liu Yan's questioning.
Penglai is in Dongmu County, which is not far from the mouth of the Yellow River, which can not only connect the Liaodong Peninsula, but also quickly enter the Yellow River waterway, which is indeed suitable as a cargo transfer station.
Panyu is actually the modern Kan 1 River, it is actually to connect the Indian subcontinent over there, and there are not many commodities transported over, mainly to receive the resources of the Indian subcontinent and some sea islands, mainly jadeite, tortoiseshell, spices and precious wood.
Concentrated capture of slaves is also one of its functions.
After inspecting Jingkou, Liu Yan set off again, and the people who were cleared after they left returned, talking about what had just happened.
The shop where Liu Yan personally walked in to watch it was crowded with people for a while, basically being asked about some inexplicable things, some merchants who were not originally engaged in cloth trading actually bought it, and those cloths that were personally touched by Liu Yan were even bought by businessmen at sky-high prices.
Yangzhou has a large population and a high degree of development, not only in agriculture, but also in infrastructure, and the roads extend in all directions.
There is an excavation canal in Jingkou, the name is Pogangdu, which is the water network used to connect the Qinhuai River and Taihu Lake during the Three Kingdoms period, and can also lead to Jianye, which can be regarded as the transportation trunk line of Yangzhou.
Thanks to the existence of Pogangdu, there are also two large water pools in the surrounding area, Lianhu Lake and Chishan Pond, and the construction of irrigation system has also laid the foundation, resulting in the extremely developed agriculture and mulberry industry.
Liu Yan's team walked along the south bank of the Yangtze River not far away, and would first go to Gaoli Mountain to climb high and look into the distance.
"With at least two or three hundred thousand acres of farmland, it's no wonder that Jiankang has so many people."
Tian Shuo, the servant, usually rarely speaks, but now he is looking at the endless farmland with bright eyes, and he doesn't know what he found but he began to frown: "Why didn't you plant trees so that the wind wouldn't blow down the stalks?"
The planting of trees at intervals between farmlands has only been advocated in recent years, especially in the south, because of the experience of hurricanes and typhoons that often occur in coastal areas.
This side is on the edge of the Yangtze River, the wind is not small, it is conceivable that the closer to the Yangtze River, the worse the harvest will be, Tian Shuo really doesn't understand that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is not good at fighting, how can even the farmers and mulberries come like this, at least more trees should be planted on the banks of the Yangtze River.
Tian Shuo's trip to the south was not simply to accompany Liu Yan to inspect, most of his time would be used to see agriculture in various places, waiting for Liu Yan to enter Jiankang, that is, when he was running around.
By the way, rice is not grown on a large scale in the south now, except for wheat, millet is the most cultivated, and the other is millet, chestnut, millet, and soybean, which is now the staple food on the Indian subcontinent.
The Han State regained Cochin, in addition to constantly invading Linyi and Funan for robbery, it was doing the business of selecting rice seeds, and had already carried out cultivation and improvement experiments in Guang 1 Prefecture, waiting for rice seeds to pass for several generations, and would slowly go north to cultivate and improve again and again, anyway, it was by no means directly promoted.
To say that if you get grain anywhere and immediately plant it on a large scale all over the country, that is really something that only people who don't understand agriculture can do.
For example, if you get excellent rice seeds from South Asia, you can get them to plant them in the north, because rice seeds are not adapted to the relationship between climate and water and soil, and it is by no means an uncommon and exaggerated thing that there is no harvest of grains, and it really needs to have a slow cultivation and improvement process.
Root foods like potatoes and potatoes are not picky about the climate and soil quality.
Liu Yan took advantage of the fact that the Bering Strait could go directly to North America by land, and sent a team to try it, risking his life in order to find more species.
He also constantly asked the South 1st Sea Fleet to find the New World, and he also wanted to get more species, especially potatoes
