Chapter 95 The Haipingtian Family

In August of the eleventh year of Tiansheng.

Dazhou, Qingzhou, Hedong County, Haiping County.

Along the river flowing eastward, a group of children with horns and beautiful features stood on the bank, looking at the river, which was about 10,000 feet wide, filled with mist, and could barely see the other side. They were in a daze.

The wind in the river is strong and the current is fast. It goes no more than a hundred miles eastward and flows into a vast sea.

"What a magnificent river. Such a magnificent scene deserves a poem!"

After saying that, the child in charge took the paper and pen from the hands of the companion on the side, splashed ink and wrote a poem on the spot:

"Linbeijiang Ji"

Thousands of miles of waves come from the sky and rush to the sea never to return.

As long as there is pride in the world, Beijiang's eternal flow will not be in vain.

A tongue-in-cheek limerick, written on the spot.

As for the artistry of this poem...it can only be described as dross.

However, considering that the chief child is only six years old, it is very rare to be able to write such a poem.

Coupled with the square and square calligraphy fonts on the rice paper, which already have everyone's style, the companion on the side put the calligraphy treasure away like a treasure, and said with praise: "Master, you wrote this poem so well. , the master and his wife will be very happy when they see it!"

"Master, Master! Master tells you to go back quickly. It's windy on the riverside, so be careful of getting cold." Not far away, a thin man came running over in a hurry and said.

"I know, go back now!"

After sorting out his long-sleeved clothes that were messed up by the wind, Zhou Ming walked towards the oval dock five miles away with the support of several companions.

As we walked along, all we could see was the plain land alluvial by the great river. It was like this for thousands of miles around. Only three hundred miles to the west, there was the so-called "Taiyan Mountain" with gods living in it and a clear sky. Under the circumstances, you can see a little undulating outline, the outline is like a gray wavy line, and the lower part is stained with light ink.

As for the altitude, Zhou Ming had calculated that it was only about three thousand meters, which was an exaggeration. It was really that high. Three hundred miles away, what he saw was not an outline at all, but a huge monster. .

There is still a certain difference between this world and the world Zhou Ming lives in.

The area of ​​this planet is slightly larger than that of the earth, about 1.3 times larger. The ocean accounts for 60% and the land accounts for 40%. The land consists of four continents divided by the sea. If Zhou Ming is currently located If the location is defined as the Eastern/Northern Hemisphere, then of these four continents, one is in the Eastern/Northern Hemisphere (the largest area, called the main continent), one is in the Western Hemisphere (it is a strip of continent spanning the Northern and Southern Hemispheres), and one is in the Southern Hemisphere. (Similar to Antarctica).

There is also a continent with the smallest area, floating alone about 5,000 kilometers southwest of the main continent, with an area of ​​about 10 million square kilometers, and its shape is a bit like an isosceles trapezoid, which reminded Zhou Ming of Australia in his world. Bag country...

There are three moons in the sky, one big and two small. Two small ones hang during the day and one big one hangs at night. Therefore, the sky in this world is quite interesting to look at. What are the poems about the moon written by poets about? That moon, just look at the title of his poem, indicates whether it is a white moon or a night moon...

The country called "Great Zhou" where Zhou Ming lives is somewhat similar to Country Z in his world on the [World Map], but it is also quite different.

Similarity is that both countries have a "chicken belly"-shaped territory. Under the "chicken belly", there are two islands similar to "chicken feet". The west is a snow-capped mountain desert, the north is a vast grassland, and the south is a wasteland. In the barbaric land, in the east, apart from the few small countries in the northeast corner, there is the endless ocean.

The overall situation is somewhat similar, but the specific details are still very different.

First of all, the territorial scope of the Great Zhou Empire was even larger. A conservative estimate is that the area directly under the jurisdiction of the central government alone is 15 million square kilometers (excluding those Jisi prefectures, vassal states, and surrendered nomadic tribes). ).

Secondly, there are big differences in topography. There is no Yangtze or Yellow River here, but there are three longer, wider and larger rivers with larger water flows. The three rivers, from north to south, are called Beijiang, Zhongjiang and Nanjiang respectively.

In addition to the big rivers, there are also countless mountain ranges whose shapes, names, altitudes... are all different from the real world.

In this world, the main mountain ranges running east-west are Tianzhu Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, and Dayin Mountain, and the main mountain ranges running north-south are Shu Mountain, Xiaoshan Mountain, Yanshan Mountain, and Taiyan Mountain...

Then based on the major mountains and rivers, like the chessboard grids, and the divided areas on the map, the main body of the Zhou Empire can be described in one sentence and eight words:

Three rivers and seven meridians, ten states and four regions.

Three rivers: Beijiang, Zhongjiang, and Nanjiang

Seven veins: running east-west (Tianzhu Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, Dayin Mountain), north-south (Shu Mountain, Xiaoshan Mountain, Yanshan Mountain, Taiyan Mountain)

Ten states: Youzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Yangzhou, Jezhou, Shengzhou, Shuzhou, Qianzhou, Zhongzhou, Hongzhou, Yazhou

Four regions: Western Region, Northern Region, Barbarian Region, Penglai Immortal Region (there are some islands in the eastern sea, and the emperor often sent fleets there to search for gods and elixirs, so they are called Penglai Immortal Region)

The location where Zhou Ming is now is just a small county near the coast in the northeast corner of Qingzhou. It is called "Haiping County" because when the sea tide rises, half of this low-lying county will be soaked. It is in the sea, so this county is often nicknamed "Haiban County" and "Dragon King County".

After walking for more than half an hour with short legs, he saw Wubao getting closer and closer in front of him, and glanced at the endless fertile farmland around Wubao. Zhou Ming secretly sighed: This is not the home of a big landlord. It is a small independent kingdom.

More than 100,000 mu of fertile land belongs to their own family.

Nearly 2,000 households with a population of more than 8,000 are tenant farmers or clan farmers who farm for their own families.

There are 500 standing soldiers, and in an emergency, 2,000 people can be mobilized to guard Wubao. This allowed the family to withstand countless foreign invasions and dynasty changes during the five hundred years that it took root here. period of internal strife.

The Haipingtian family.

It is the name of the family into which he is now born.

Tian Jian is the name of his body.

When I walked into Wubao, I saw a handsome middle-aged man in rich clothes, handsome eyebrows, and a short mustache walking around the yard. After seeing Zhou Ming approaching, he quickly walked up to him. In front of him, he said extremely severely: "I'm so anxious! Jian'er Encore went to that windy and damp place. What should I do if I get caught in the wind and cold?"

There was deep concern in the voice of reproach.

After saying that, the handsome middle-aged man pointed at the two companions around Zhou Ming and said angrily: "It must be you two. Jian'er, who is tidying up, came out of the castle to look at the river... Steward, drag them down and punish them heavily with the cane!" "

"Master, have mercy on me, have mercy on me!"

"Master, the little one didn't pick up the young master to go out, please forgive me, master!"

The two companions were terrified, they knelt down together and kowtowed like garlic.

"Father, it's me who wants to go out to relax. It has nothing to do with Xiaozhong and Xiaoyong. I will pay attention to it next time. Just let them go."

Facing his father, Zhou Ming cupped his hands and made a bow, begging for the two companions.

"Hmph! Let's spare them for now. Next time they do something like this that disturbs the Lord, see if I don't break their legs!"

For the sake of his son's pleading, the handsome middle-aged man calmed down and let go of his two companions.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"

The two companions, who seemed to have walked through a life-and-death situation, kept kowtowing to Zhou Ming.

"Okay, okay, don't kneel down. Take out the poem I just wrote and give it to Father to taste it and see if there is anything that needs improvement." Zhou Ming kicked his companion Tian Zhongdao.

"Jian'er has written poetry again? Come and show it to me!"

The handsome middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly.

He knew this son's intelligence very early: he could speak before he was eight months old, he could walk when he was one year old, he could practice Chinese calligraphy and hyphenation at two years old, he could write poems and rhymes at three years old, his calligraphy was close to perfection at four years old, , he wrote a poem "Poem to wish parents a long life and a hundred years", which moved me even more. After passing this poem to various famous teachers in the prefecture and county for tasting, he was awarded the title of "filial son of Tian family" and "Haiping prodigy". , which makes him, as a father, feel proud and proud.

Bandang Tian Zhong quickly handed over the poem scroll.

Unrolling the poem, the handsome middle-aged man began to sing with his head down and ups and downs.

"The Story of Linbei River"

"Thousands of miles of waves coming from the sky~"

"Run to the sea and never return!"

"There is pride in this world~"

"Beijiang's eternal flow is not in vain!"

"What a line, 'As long as there is pride in the world, it will not be in vain for the eternal flow of Beijiang'... What a poem, what a poem!"

The middle-aged handsome man kept murmuring, falling into the heroic and heroic artistic conception of the poem, and he couldn't extricate himself for a while.

"Father, I think the last sentence is not very well written. How about changing the word 'not in vain' to 'no expense'? It seems better to change the word 'not in vain' to 'no expense'." Zhou Ming stepped forward and asked.

But the middle-aged handsome man suddenly danced, quickly put away the poem, and walked quickly towards a room in the castle. As he walked, he shouted: "Madam, madam, Jian'er has written another good poem. Come and take a look." look!"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly.
