The four of them looked at each other and nodded.

After a period of silence, Wang Bin took a sip of tea, put down the teacup slowly, glanced at Zhu Zhantan and said, "It's not difficult to let the prince come to Hangzhou?"

"Oh, could it be that Lord Wang has a way?" Zhu Zhantan's eyes lit up, and he stared at Wang Bin and asked.

Wang Bin's eyes flashed with an imperceptible smile, and he nodded at Zhu Zhantan and said, "Didn't the little prince just say that the saint doesn't like Beijing today, and intends to move the capital, so he let the prince inspect Nanjing?"

Zhu Zhantan couldn't figure out what Wang Bin meant, so he just nodded and responded: "Not bad!"

Wang Bin said: "The transportation of goods from Beijing to Jinling is indispensable, hehe, in this way, Caoyun has become the primary consideration of moving the capital, just do something on this, it will inevitably attract the attention of the prince!"

As soon as Wang Bin's voice fell, Zhu Zhantan's eyes lit up, and this was indeed the best place to attract Zhu Zhanji: "Yes, as long as the Cao Yun is chaotic, it will definitely attract Zhu Zhanji's attention?

Wang Bin smiled faintly and said, "The little prince is extremely smart, why did he forget the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and that river can attract the prince's attention more than this river?"

After the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui in the early seventh century, the capital was moved to Luoyang. In order to control the vast area south of the Yangtze River and transport the abundant materials from the Yangtze River Delta to Luoyang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered the excavation of the "Yongji Canal" about 1,000 kilometers long from Luoyang through Linqing in Shandong to Zhuojun in Hebei Province (now southwest of Beijing) in 603 AD, and ordered the excavation of the "Tongji Canal" about 1,000 kilometers long from Luoyang to Qingjiang (now Huai'an City) in Jiangsu Province in the first year of the Great Cause In three years, the Yongji Canal was dug to Zhuo County in the north, and together with the Guangtong Canal dug in 584 AD, a multi-branched canal system was formed. In 610 AD, the "Jiangnan Canal" with a length of about 400 kilometers from Zhenjiang in Jiangsu Province to Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province (then a foreign trade port) was dug and the ditch was renovated at the same time. In this way, the river channel between Luoyang and Hangzhou is more than 1,700 kilometers long, can be directly connected to the ship, and then the successive dynasties have built more, after the Yuan Dynasty fixed the capital of Beijing, in order to connect the north and south, no longer detour to Luoyang, it is necessary to dig a canal to transport grain from the south to the north. For this reason, three sections of the river have been dug successively, the original Sui Dynasty horizontal canal centered on Luoyang, built into a longitudinal Grand Canal with Dadu as the center, south to Hangzhou, from the south to Yuhang (now Hangzhou), north to Zhuo County (now Beijing), through the present Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei provinces and Tianjin, Beijing two cities, through the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River, The Qiantang River has five major water systems, and Hangzhou has become a north-south transportation hub.

To say that the most influential on the West Lake in the past dynasties is the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which is the extremely prominent Wu Yue Kingdom in the history of Hangzhou's development.

Wu Yue Kingdom, with Hangzhou as its capital, promoted transportation with coastal areas and traded with Japan, Korea and other countries. At the same time, because the kings of Wuyue Kingdom worshiped Buddhism, built a large number of temples, pagodas, prayer buildings and grottoes around the West Lake, expanded Lingyin Temple, created Zhaoqing Temple, Jingci Temple, Li'an Temple, Liutong Temple and Taoguang Nunnery, etc., built Baochu Pagoda, Liuhe Pagoda, Leifeng Pagoda and White Pagoda, and was called the Buddha country for a while. Lingyin Temple, Tianzhu and other temples and the Qiantang River tide view were tourist attractions at that time. Due to the geological reasons of the West Lake, the silt accumulation speed is fast, and the dredging of the West Lake has become a daily maintenance work, so the king of Wuyue Qian Biao in the second year of Baozheng placed thousands of soldiers in the lake, and dredged the spring with grass to ensure the preservation of the water body of the West Lake. Since then, after the continuous construction of successive dynasties, the beautiful scenery of today's West Lake has been ensured.

Walk ten miles near the east side of the West Lake, there will be a forest, the ancient trees are towering, lush, there is a small mountain village behind the woods, several houses in the village are scattered on a hill, because it is close to the West Lake, so this village has a nice name, West Lake Village.

The village is not big, less than 20 households, relying on the West Lake for food, supporting boats, fishing and there is no third way to go.

Fortunately, the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, reducing all kinds of taxes in the West Lake, and the life of every household was much better, the days were better, and the life was better, and there was more laughter and laughter.

There is nothing particularly conspicuous in the whole village, if there is any, it can only be regarded as the big mansion at the head of the village, the whole house is quite large, almost occupying dozens of acres, carved beams and painted buildings, the golden splendor and the surrounding of the courtyard seem so incompatible.

This mansion was built here five years ago, more than 300 migrant workers knocked and beat here, built for more than two years, until the third year before people moved in one after another, the village people were originally worried that this is the court official living here, for fear of offending the official, and later found that only a few women, everyone dressed in white, giggling and laughing is not lively, the people in the village are relieved a lot.
