March in Beijing is already the season when spring flowers are blooming, everything is reviving, and the air is filled with sweet smells.
People who had just passed through the cold winter began to become restless again as the number of warm-weather clothes on their bodies decreased. People were outing and going out with their families everywhere outside the city. The official roads were filled with oxcarts or horse-drawn carriages.
The city is also full of people coming and going, and at noon, almost every tavern and teahouse is full.
At this time, the newspaper sellers rushed out and shouted loudly: "The Beijing News, today's Beijing News, a sign of auspiciousness from heaven!"
These days, news about Liaodong keeps coming, and the people in Jingzhao are excited to read various war reports. As soon as today's newspaper came out, it was immediately scrambled by drinkers and tea drinkers.
The circulation of "Beijing News" in Jingzhao is very high, more than 80,000 copies per day. Of course, not only Jingzhao City, but also the surrounding counties, Guanzhong, Hanzhong and other parts of Guanzhao. But in Jingzhao City alone, the daily circulation is
Up to 30,000 copies.
This is also related to Jingzhao's active promotion of education. Jingzhao has opened hundreds of schools, and most of the children have attended the schools. Every night, children reading to their parents has become a great joy for every household.
Of course, there are still some shortcomings in education. The most prominent one is girls’ education. The government has also opened more than a dozen girls’ schools, but almost no one sends their daughters to study. Rich families hire tutors to teach their daughters to study, and ordinary children are unwilling to do so.
Send girls to school.
But another type of girls' school is very popular, that is, the girls' school, which does not teach reading and literacy, but teaches calligraphy and painting, music and dance, cooking and tea, embroidery and making clothes. Almost middle-class families send their daughters to private schools.
Go to a women's school to study, because after your daughter gets married, she has to support her husband and raise her children. If she doesn't know how to do anything, how can she support her husband and raise her children?
The Imperial College of Yong State simply took advantage of the situation and established a public women's school. The content taught in the private women's school was the same, but with the addition of reading and writing. Because the tuition was cheap, it was also popular among the middle and lower classes. The three government-run women's schools
The hall was full.
With the newspapers adding to the fun, the teahouse suddenly became lively. The content of today's newspapers was quite eye-catching. The god had a dream and the emperor had returned.
More than 300 elderly people over 60 years old in Tongzhou received a dream from the God in Golden Armor at the same time, asking them to go to the Wei River to welcome the return of the emperor.
This kind of dream entrustment seems ridiculous today, but the ancients believed it deeply, otherwise they would not worship their ancestors in every household, because everyone firmly believed that their ancestors would entrust them with dreams.
At the end of the article, the finishing touch is that King Yong is returning triumphantly from Liaodong.
The auspicious sign of spring is such an exciting thing. Every teahouse is like a frying pan, talking about it with great interest.
Supporting King Yong's ascension to the throne has become a consensus between the government and the public. This not only involves the vital interests of Bai Guan and the generals, but is also extremely important to the vast number of people who have become accustomed to living and working in peace and contentment. More importantly, King Yong's accession to the throne is already expected by the public, and then support a fart city.
Who would be convinced if a little ignorant kid became emperor? Not even beggars would be convinced!
An auspicious sign is hope and everyone's yearning for a better life. Of course, people all over the world believe in such auspicious signs.
"In my opinion, this auspicious sign is just the beginning. There will definitely be new auspicious signs. Everyone should pay attention to your surroundings. Maybe there will be auspicious signs like the thousand-year-old iron tree blooming and the dry well springing up with clear springs."
“Is it a good omen that I saw a large flock of magpies?”
Everyone laughed, it’s spring now, and you can see large flocks of birds every day!
"Humph! They are all a bunch of fools. How can a group of old people have the same dream at the same time?"
This is a man who is sober in the world, has an online IQ, but fails in emotional intelligence. Without exception, he has been unanimously criticized by everyone.
"Do you think it's an ancestor's dream? It's only for you. This is a dream from the gods. It's for the old man! Do you understand?"
It is tradition to respect the elderly, but this man actually questioned the old man's forgery and tried to deny everyone's good wishes. Everyone was angry. Under the unanimous condemnation of everyone, the man had to pay for the tea and walked away in despair.

At noon, Zhou Kuan hurried to Jiang Yanxian's official room, where Jiang Yanxian was sitting reading today's newspaper.
"Mr. Jiang!"
Zhou Kuan walked into the official room and said, "Have you read today's newspaper?"
Jiang Yanxian raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "Reading now!"
Zhou Kuan sat down and said, "I was thinking just now, are we doing something too obvious? As soon as His Highness King Yong arrived in Tongzhou, the old man appeared. It's such a coincidence that His Highness King Yong might not believe it."
Jiang Yanxian smiled and said: "Even if it is not a coincidence, he will not believe it. Your Highness knows it well. We are not doing it for him to see, but for the world to see. As long as everyone believes it, that's all."
Zhou Kuan nodded, "You are right, this newspaper is so colorful and confusing, I don't know who wrote it?"
Jiang Yanxian smiled slightly and said, "Thanks for the compliment!"
Zhou Kuan opened his mouth wide and said for a long time: "Did you write it? No wonder the writing is so powerful."
"I felt that the report they originally wrote was too monotonous and could not arouse people's sense of consensus, so I wrote an article on their behalf. The purpose was to make everyone believe that the old people could not lie and must be true.
Enlightenment."
"Then shall we continue our efforts and strike while the iron is hot?"
Jiang Yanxian pondered for a moment and said: "I think we should be steady and not be so hasty. Haste makes waste. When everyone is about to forget this auspicious sign, a new and bigger auspicious sign comes out, which reminds everyone all of a sudden.
Only then will everyone realize that what happened before was God's will, and only then will the effect be good."
"Then when?"
"I think about three months is more suitable!"
Zhou Kuan nodded, "Okay, I'll continue to prepare!"
Chen Qing returned to Jingzhao. He entered the Yongwang Palace directly from the Xuanwu Gate in the north without crossing the street. However, the flagpole in front of the Chongwu Gate of the Taiji Palace raised a red-bottomed black dragon flag with a gold edge. This meant that
, His Highness King Yong is back.
The increasingly severe epidemic forced the Jin Dynasty court to leave Shangjing and move its capital.
In less than a month, nearly half of the people in Shangjing died of illness. More than 200 officials in the imperial court died of illness, and more than 80 people died. Even more common people died. There were less than 200,000 people left in Shangjing with a population of more than 300,000.
Many families died of illness, and 40% of the maids and eunuchs in the palace also died of illness, and 30% of the concubines died.
Even Wanyan Wushu's eldest son Wanyan Heng died of illness, and his two grandsons could not escape the disease.
The army is the hardest hit area. Only 130,000 people are left in the 250,000-strong army, and only 30,000 people are left in the 100,000-year-old Korean army. This is normal. The Korean soldiers have no medicine and are not isolated. There are not enough tents for them to isolate.
Even if the soldiers switched to drinking boiled water, it would be of no use.
This kind of cholera virus is actually spread through aerosols. The soldiers had no time to run to the toilet or the strength to get up, so they had diarrhea in the big tent. No one in the big tent could escape the infection.
Because the groundwater was seriously polluted, after repeated advice from doctors, Wanyan Wushu finally decided to leave for Beijing. Of course, it was not to move the capital, but to go on a patrol as the emperor.
He did not dare to go south. There were 100,000 Western troops to the south and 200,000 Western troops on the Yanshan Road. To go south would be to destroy the country. To the north was the vast forest, which was unrealistic. There was no place to go east.
Wanyan Wushu thought a lot and consulted the nobles for their opinions. Everyone was unanimous in their opinions and headed west to Linhuang Mansion, which was originally the central capital of the Liao Kingdom and had enough pastures and cities.
Although it has been captured by the Western Army, it is said that the Western Army does not have many troops and can capture it.
Wanyan Wushu issued an order to supervise the country and inspect Linhuang Mansion.
However, not everyone can leave, only healthy people can leave, and those who are sick will continue to stay in Beijing.
The Jin soldiers used hundreds of thousands of carts to take away all the wealth in the warehouse. The ministers and nobles also took away all the wealth. The wealth that could not be taken away was dug in pits and buried, such as large porcelain and bronze large
Buddha statues, precious wood, etc.
One night in late March, 170,000 people and hundreds of thousands of troops left Shangjing City and marched toward Linhuang Mansion, leaving behind a devastated Shangjing City where patients could not be treated and could only die in despair.
