The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter One Thousand and One Finale

At dawn the next day, when the sun was rising, the big ship came to the port to unload. Thousands of people busily unloaded the supplies and daily necessities carried by the ship, and piled them up in different categories under Li Chong's auspices.

Su Jin, Yan Shu, Xia Song, Pan Jiang, Jingtai and others walked on a large flat area to plan the city pattern; with the experience of building the Pearl City, Su Jin naturally chose a point to defend the middle ring road. After the location of the middle box is lowered, the rest of the houses and streets can radiate and spread with the middle box as the center.

Since there were only more than [-] people who followed, the initial size of the city did not need to be too large, and the materials on hand were limited, so we had to adapt to local conditions; first cut down trees to build simple houses to store materials and temporarily live in, and after a few days, the accompanying people chose a place The kiln mouth was dug and bricks were fired, and the vigorous urban construction began.

It was the end of June, and the farming season had not yet passed, and the food he carried with him might not be able to meet this time next year, so Li Chong proposed to send hundreds of people to open up fields on the fertile soil of the river to try to grow crops. Corn is enough. Corn has a high survival rate on the west coast, and rice and other crops are sown in March and April. It is too late to sow at this time, so it is better not to take risks.

Wild animals are rampant in the barren land, including bison, antelope, tigers and leopards. While building the city, Su Jin ordered the dynasty to bring a hundred musket battalion soldiers to clean up the wild animals within a hundred miles around. It also ensures the safety of the people.

A month later, Luoshan Jicheng began to take shape. A ring line with a four-story high-rise in the middle compartment as the axis built thousands of houses, enough for people to live and store supplies. Pan Jiang suggested building walls to form a city. Su Jin Considering the next step, the construction of the city wall was superfluous, but for the sake of safety, it was still agreed to use logs to build a fence around the Luoshan Chicken City, and set up six gates to facilitate entry and exit and garrison.

The so-called safety issue is not limited to wild animals such as wolves, tigers and leopards. What Su Jin is most worried about is another thing, that is the local indigenous Indian tribes. When Wang Chao led his troops to hunt, he also found naked natives in the dense forests and mountains, and Su Jin had to think about how to deal with it.

Worrying is not superfluous. In September, Luoshan Chicken City was attacked by thousands of Indians. They thought that Su Jin and others had invaded their territory and hunted their prey, so they attacked Luoshan in one night. Pheasant City.

Due to the language barrier, and Su Jin didn't intend to reason with them at all, there was almost no room for maneuver. The two parties fought in Luoshan Chicken City. As you can imagine, under the ravages of firecrackers and grenades, The Indian tribe suffered heavy casualties. When Su Jin flew over the crowd of Indian tribes in a hot air balloon, an unexpected scene happened. The Indians even regarded Su Jin as a god, throwing away their weapons and knelt down to worship.

After the war, Su Jin gathered more than a dozen Indian tribe leaders here, and after a few days of gesticulating, both sides finally understood each other's meaning. In fact, Su Jin's meaning was also very simple, either obey or kill them all. If you obey, you will be blessed by yourself.

Su Jin specially spent a day, inviting these chiefs with cockscombs on their upper body to tour Luoshan Chicken City, looking at the spacious and tall houses, drinking fragrant and intoxicating wine, and tasting fragrant and fragrant food with all seasonings. Looking at the dishes, looking at the tall horses coming and going on the bluestone streets in the city, the assortment of exquisite wine utensils and porcelain, the mouths of these chiefs have not closed for a day.

Looking back, I think that I live in a low straw hut, eat food like sticky shit, and run around in the mountains every day in the wind and rain. Compared with this group of strangers, I am undoubtedly living in hell. The leaders of the leaders were moved. They hoped to gain territory in Luoshanji City and enjoy things that they had never enjoyed before. Take it away from your hands, and at the same time take away the privileges in your own hands.

Naturally, Su Jin would understand this. He has no liking for these natives, but since he wanted to take root in this land, he had to use these Indian tribes for his own use in the early days. The help of these people was indispensable in wars, construction, mining, and road paving. , So Su Jin promised not to deprive them of their power, as long as he is loyal to himself, he can help them build a permanent residence in Luoshanji Outer City, and can buy and sell the exquisite things they need. A batch of porcelain and jewelry were given to these guys. When the jewelry replaced the shell and fishbone necklace in their necks, these guys were happy.

For the diehards, Su Jin was also merciless. Soldiers from the Huobaoying Battalion wiped out three tribes that were still making trouble one after another, killing hundreds of people, leaving no way out. Accepting Su Jin's conditions; at first they were forced, but later they were voluntary. When they lived in a spacious wooden building, slept on a large wooden bed, covered with soft quilts, and ate delicious food, they again I don't regret my decision either.

A year later, Luoshan Chicken City began to take shape. The first ring road was the center, and more than a dozen areas were divided into east, west, north, south, and north. Under the unified plan, the Indians lived and worked in peace. The climate here is almost the same as that of the Song Dynasty, and all kinds of seeds are also available. Growing and sowing, the Indians are very smart. They quickly learned to sow crops and gradually integrated with the Han people. Luoshan Chicken City grew five or six times larger, and its population surged to more than 6.

In June of that year, the Luoshanji City Lord's Mansion promulgated the "Indian Management Act", which clarified the rights and obligations of the indigenous people, and restrained and managed the Indians. At the same time, the Indians were also officially allowed to be promoted to low-level officials. , to assist the Han people in managing their rights, and with this law as a blueprint, the Indians officially became legally equal human beings.

Two years later, Su Jin organized an army of more than [-] people and began to explore the inland. In three years, he went through more than a thousand battles and traveled tens of thousands of miles. After tens of thousands of Indians surrendered, they built cities in suitable places circled by Su Jin. Panjiang, Jingtai, Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and dozens of capable generals around Su Jin were all recruited. Appointed as city lords to manage these cities, almost every Han Chinese who came from Su Jin held important positions. Fortunately, these people were carefully selected, and they could do it with the assistance of the promoted Indians Dutifully.

Six years after arriving on the American continent, 23 new cities were built on the American continent, and each city became a prosperous center of a region, so as to establish 23 provinces, unified under the leadership of Luoshanji City.

In the past six years, the registered population of the country has reached 56 households, with a population of nearly 300 million. More than ten iron ore, gold, and coal mines have been discovered in succession and put into mining; More than a dozen foreign countries in the west also sent fleets to trade. After they returned home and described this vibrant new country in the New World, many European white adventurers came to look for opportunities to make a fortune. Su Jin never refused. As long as you follow the management and obey the laws and regulations, you will be granted household registration.

In the past six years, the structure of the entire New Deal has begun to take shape. Under the urging of everyone, on the first day of the sixth year, Su Jinxuan took office as the President, named the country the United States, and named it Jinxiu. At the same time, it was announced that the rule of hereditary being emperor was abolished, and the House of Representatives election system was established instead. At the same time, it was announced that all citizens of the country have the opportunity to become the president, and everyone was speechless for a while.

Su Jin has been the president for 30 years. During the 30 years, the new country in this barren land has changed rapidly. After he left office, the population has exceeded 10 million. There are three large cities with a population of one million and more than [-] towns with more than [-] people. At the seat, the main road of transportation, towns and cities have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and many people from other countries have succeeded here, so much so that they call this country the country of heaven.

A few major events recorded in later national history are as follows:

In the autumn of the second year of Jinxiu, ten national highways were completed, and the President personally cut the ribbon. He boasted that within ten years, the roads in the country would be as smooth as a net, and that the borderlands could be reached within a few days. Everyone deeply believed it...

In the fifth year of Jinxiu in the east, three ports in the east were opened. The president went to one port in person and planted willows in memory. Forget about the past.The port was named Liuyue Port (New York Port o(n_n)o haha~).

In February of the tenth year of Jinxiu, because of business affairs between Britain and my country, Britain and the country threatened to attack with troops. The president was furious when he heard about it. In April, he sent iron ships across the ocean to preemptively destroy three ports and bombed There are more than ten cities in it, and the British feudal lord pleaded guilty. The president warned: "Peaceful coexistence is what I want, but anyone who dares to covet and threaten will be punished even if he is far away."

……

In the summer of Jinxiu 15, the King and his wife of Denmark visited, and the princess Caitlin with them saw the majesty of the President and admired her unceasingly. Pan Heng did not return for several months, and the mother of the country, Yan Shi, made the decision and allowed the President to accept her as a concubine, which was the first for the President A concubine of a foreign country, this move greatly inspired the hearts of the people of the world. Prime Minister Li Chong said: This is a major event in the great integration of the nation. The new "Marriage Law" has been promulgated, allowing non-same marriages, which is a major event for the country.

……

In the summer of Jinxiu 17, the President summoned skilled craftsmen to give lectures on the theory of using steam to drive machinery. It took half a year to create something that uses coal as fuel to drive machinery. The President called it a steam engine and said that it has a bright future.

……

There are no less than ten thousand things recorded in the history of the country, so I won’t go into details here. Su Jin has been in power for 30 years, and at the age of 66, he announced that he would no longer be the president. The President abdicates to become an official, and elects the President's eldest son, Su Qin, to succeed him. At this time, Su Qin is the lord of Luoshan Jicheng, the capital of the country.

After Su Jin abdicated, his body was still as healthy as a boy. The steam engine was made by him and skilled craftsmen ten years ago. In the spare time, Su Jin devoted himself to improving it, and finally reduced the size and energy consumption, and created a steam engine that can be equipped on vehicles. Since then, Su Jin has traveled all over the country by car. One day, when he was playing in the Rocky Mountains, he did not return for more than ten days. The local officials sent a large number of people to search for it, but there was no trace.

In the next few years, the state continued to send people to search for Su Jin, but nothing was found. In desperation, the day of Su Jin's disappearance was regarded as the anniversary of Su Jin's death. National mourning activities were carried out, and many statues and memorial halls were established as a commemoration.

Decades later, someone saw an old man with white hair and a childlike face appearing on the top of the Rocky Mountain. He looked like Su Jin, but it was fleeting and disappeared. A generation of legendary people came and went without a trace, leaving only thousands of The deeds spread on the earth and were widely praised.
