Chapter 991: Spotted-winged Partridge
Li An took a group of people to Shaolingyuan first, so that they could enjoy the scenery of Shaolingyuan, but these bear children were all thinking about the local chicken soup, and after playing for a long time, they shouted that they wanted to go to Lishan to catch pheasants, as for Shenheyuan, they unanimously said that they didn't want to go.
To say that the scenery of Shaolingyuan is not bad at all, the scenery of Shenheyuan next door is better, however, due to the increase in the resident population here day by day, the restaurants in the capital are in urgent need of all kinds of game, so, the wild animals of this generation of Shaolingyuan and Shenheyuan have suffered a catastrophe, and it is more and more difficult to catch pheasants here, and even, many people think that the pheasants of Shaolingyuan have become extinct.
The distant location of Lishan is different, after all, it is a big mountain, the terrain is relatively undulating, there are many horns and horns that are difficult for humans to find, and these hidden places have become the last living space for all kinds of wild animals, at least, they can be hunted by humans, so that they will not be extinct.
However, no matter how complex the topography of Lishan is, as long as human activities continue to increase and the imperial court does not have corresponding protection measures, then the extinction of Lishan's wildlife will be a matter of time.
"Hey, it's really a group of little gluttonous cats, I originally planned to take them out to see the plants, but look at these children, they are all thinking about local chicken soup?"
Li An said helplessly, and gently threw the swirling flower in his hand on the ground.
This can't be blamed on these children, they are young, and they really don't have too much interest in many inconspicuous plants and plants, and Li An's explanation is also relatively boring, so they are even more reluctant to listen, and the taste of local chicken soup is so good that Li Shi and Tang Er said, they naturally want to taste it in person, and they really want to taste it immediately, under the effect of this eagerness, they don't have much interest in going to see those flowers and plants, and these children are not stupid, They still think that the environment in Lishan is better, and they still have to dig angelica themselves, and then, stew pheasant meat together?
"In the end, they are all children, as soon as they heard that there was something delicious, they forgot everything, and they forgot the original intention of this trip, so what does Li Shilang think should be, whether to leave immediately to go to Lishan, or continue to see flowers and plants here."
Li Yu asked.
Li An looked at the time and said, "Okay, since these children are all clamoring to go to Lishan, then let's go!" If you can really catch a pheasant, you will have to drink the chicken soup, and the king of Guangping is afraid that he has not tasted the taste of this chicken soup! Ha ha! ”
Although Lishan is far away from Shaolingyuan, the road network near the capital is now in place, and the speed of vehicles has been repeatedly increased, so it will not take too long to get to Lishan from the land under your feet.
"Catch pheasants, catch pheasants, catch pheasants......"
After getting on the car, the emperors and grandchildren have not been quiet, and have been talking about how to catch pheasants, it seems that their main mission this time is to catch pheasants, as for learning plant knowledge, they have long been thrown out of the clouds.
The speed of the vehicle is very fast, and it arrived at the foot of Lishan before noon, because there is the Huaqing Palace of the imperial family near Lishan, so there is a certain degree of control over the vehicles entering the vicinity of Lishan, and not everyone can drive to the depths of Lishan at will.
Of course, the team led by Li An is relatively special, and naturally has the privilege of entering the depths of Lishan Mountain, so they don't have to work hard to climb up step by step from the foot of the mountain, they only need to take the car to go up, and because many places have already built roads, in this way, you can get on the car at any time, and then get out of the car to enjoy the scenery when you need to stop, and the time can be greatly reduced.
"Big mountain, what a big mountain!"
Among all the imperial grandchildren, some imperial grandchildren have never had the opportunity to leave the palace since they were born, and all they can see is the rockery and micro-terrain in the palace.
"The scenery of Lishan is getting better and better, since the hard road has been built, it is too convenient to come here to play, the imperial court has to allocate a lot of money every year to maintain all parts of Lishan, and there are no less than 30 pavilions alone, so that people who come to play do not have to worry about having no place to hide from the rain."
An accompanying official spoke.
The scenery of Lishan has been very good since ancient times, there are a lot of wild animals, it is a good place to enjoy the scenery, the most famous Huaqing Palace in the Tang Dynasty, is in this Lishan, in addition, the Afang Palace that has been burned down by Xiang Yu is said to be near Lishan, which is enough to show how good the scenery of Lishan is.
Of course, the territory of the Chinese Empire is so vast, in fact, there are still many places with better scenery than Lishan, but the location of Lishan is relatively special, he is near Chang'an City, and the capital of many dynasties is Chang'an, so the fame will naturally follow.
The imperial court spent money to maintain and build Lishan, in order to further improve the environment of Lishan, build Lishan a better place, and improve the image of the Tang capital.
After guests from afar arrive in Chang'an City, in addition to experiencing the bustling urban scenery in the city, they can also go to the suburbs to feel the style of Lishan and other scenic spots, so that the Datang Capital City is more full, which is of great benefit to improving the overall image of Chang'an City.
In addition to the guests who come from thousands of miles away, they will choose to enjoy the scenery in Lishan, and many literati in Datang will also choose to come to Lishan to play, and take a look at the scenery in the mountain, and their hearts will be very different.
If Lishan is not close to Chang'an City, then, he will never have such a big reputation, many people like lively, like tall buildings, but at the same time will also like quiet, like thatched houses, this seems to be contradictory, but in fact it is not contradictory, because people will have a variety of different needs.
When you are lonely, you can go to the downtown area of Chang'an City to see the endless flow of people, feel the prosperity of the city, and stay in the city for too long, the relief feels tired and bored, and you want to be quiet, look at the mountains, rivers, flowers and trees, so that you can go to Lishan outside the city to relax, and even, you can build a small shed in the mountains, and it is not a big problem to stay for a few days.
If you are lonely, you can go to Chang'an City to live, and if you want to be quiet, you can go to Lishan and other scenic spots outside the city, which is undoubtedly very pleasant, and it can also improve the living comfort of Chang'an City and increase the charm of the city, so as to attract more and more talented people to join the city.
In fact, since ancient times, the various imperial courts have moderately suppressed the mobility of the common people, in order to let most of the people live in their hometowns with peace of mind, and not run around, otherwise, if they live according to their personal wishes, it will cause too many people in some places, and too little population in some places, and private fights will occur in places with many people because of the competition for land, and there will be a lot of land barren in places with few people, resulting in great waste.
However, people love their hometown, as long as they can't live, many people are unwilling to leave their hometown, and in the case of being able to support themselves, some people will leave their hometown, that is because they have a better living environment in the field where they leave their hometown, and can make themselves live better and more decently, so that some people are naturally unwilling to return to their hometown, but are willing to live in a place with better living conditions.
And the place with better living conditions generally refers to the more affluent place, the people in the countryside will gather in the town, and the people in the town will consider entering the city, and the people in the city will choose to enter the big city, and the people in the big city will choose the capital, so that the population will gather from the countryside step by step to the capital, thus driving the prosperity of the big city, and the countryside will become more and more decaying in the process, and finally gradually become barren.
Of course, some people are willing to move to more affluent places, and there will be a precondition for this, that is, they must be able to support themselves in a rich place, otherwise, they will not be able to survive in this rich place, and they can only choose to flee and return to the poor mountain villages.
In ancient dynasties, the imperial court will adjust the population of various places according to the actual situation, and under normal circumstances, ordinary people are not allowed to leave their hometowns at will, but if the population of the hometown is too large, the land can no longer be carried, and the country has many places with sparse population, then the imperial court is likely to carry out a planned migration of population from a place with a large population to a place with a small population, and do a good job of registration.
In addition, when many dynasties were just established, due to the sharp decline in the population caused by the war, the capital did not have much population, and it seemed quite desolate, in order to change the current situation of the desolate capital, the founding emperor would ask the nearby villages to move into the capital to live, and the original villages were abandoned, so that the population of the capital could be greatly increased in a short period of time, and all walks of life would be easier to develop, the capital would appear to be very prosperous, and foreign envoys could also support the court when they came.
It has been more than 100 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and with the great development of industrialization promoted by Li An, there has been a surplus labor force in the countryside everywhere, and there is a large shortage of people in the city and workshops in the city.
Although the capital already has a huge population, but because the R&D center and many high-tech workshops are here, there are more supporting workshops and residential areas, so the requirements for manpower are very high, the original million population is far from meeting the demand, the policy of the imperial court will naturally change, and ordinary people from the countryside and other places should be allowed to enter the capital to make a living, so as to promote the great development of the capital.
In addition, with the increase of population, it is difficult to meet the demand for housing in the city, even if it is difficult to meet the growing demand for living even if it is built with a height of five or six storeys, so that the land outside the city must be used as soon as possible, and some more high-rise houses can be built outside the city to meet the living needs of many people.
The more people who live, the higher the requirements for leisure, in addition to the entertainment items such as green buildings and restaurants, it is also an indispensable item to go outside the city to see the scenery, so that the imperial court is naturally willing to spend some money to improve the necessary facilities of scenic spots such as Lishan in order to make high-level talents comfortable in the capital.
"The road in Lishan is very well designed, the narrowest part can accommodate two cars side by side, and the widest main road can accommodate four cars in parallel, so you don't have to worry about traffic jams."
Another attendant spoke.
Along the way, I met a lot of pedestrians, some were medicine farmers collecting medicine, some were scholars who came to see the scenery, and foreigners from the West, all of whom could only walk up the mountain, and their vehicles were parked in several large parking lots at the bottom of the mountain.
Li An's group has a vehicle to sit on, the speed of travel is much faster, and it is more labor-saving, through the window, you can clearly see the scenery outside the window, and you can see wild animals from time to time, which makes many emperors and grandsons who have never seen wild animals very excited.
"Pheasant, I see pheasant."
I don't know which emperor shouted, so everyone in the car looked over.
"It's not a pheasant, it's a spotted-winged partridge, it's a wild bird, haha!"
When Li An heard this, he opened his mouth to explain.
"It's the spotted-winged partridge, the spotted-winged partridge, the spotted-winged partridge."
Li An saw that everyone in the car didn't hear clearly, so he opened his mouth and said it three times in a row.
"Yes! The pheasant is much more beautiful than this bald bird, and the spot-winged partridge, Li Shilang knows a lot. ”
Li Yu looked at Li An enviously, although he couldn't name the wild bird, but at least he could be sure that what he saw was not a pheasant, because any kind of pheasant was more beautiful than the bird in front of him.
"Sir, are spotted-winged partridges delicious? Is there a pheasant to eat? ”
Li Shi looked at Li An with a curious expression and asked.
Li An had never eaten this kind of bird, and he didn't know what the taste of this bird was, so he thought for a while and said: "There is nothing bad about Shanzhen, and the taste is estimated to be similar to that of pheasant!" ”
"Then let's go back and catch this spot-winged partridge! Drink the stew later. ”
Li Shi looked at the wild birds that were gradually falling out of sight and spoke.
Li An naturally couldn't stop the vehicle because of this trivial matter, and refused: "Don't worry, Shi'er, we will encounter more delicious game later, just let the spotted-winged partridge go just now!" ”
"Alright! So when are we going to catch pheasants? ”
Li Shi asked.
"Soon, soon we'll be there, wait a minute."
Li An said and looked at the leader of the guards in the car, and ordered: "After the park is stopped, half of the guards are responsible for protecting the emperor's grandson, and the other half will go to the nearby to hunt some game and come back, it is better to catch them alive." ”
"Yes, the Admiral understands."
"Sir, are we going to catch pheasants too?"
Li Shi demanded.
Li An frowned and said: "The pheasant runs so fast, you are so small, where can you catch it, you have more important tasks to complete." ”
