Fengcheng old events

Chapter 485 Shangqiu
From Yuncheng, the bus has to cross Xiaoshan Mountain.

When the bus climbed to the top of the mountain, looking down at the little lights of SMX City below, it is really hard to express in words the scene that is not immersive.

SMX is named after Dayu's control of the water, where he split the people's gate, God's gate, and ghost gate's three canyons. .

It is the Hangu Pass in Taoism where Lao Tzu rode a bull from the west to Ziqi from the east.The ruling territory of the Xia and Shang Dynasties was the hinterland of the Central Plains. In this part of Henan, if you leave the Hangu Pass and cross the Qinling Mountains, you will go to foreign domains.

It is said that when Lao Tzu left the customs, he was invited by Guan Ling Yin Xi to write down the Tao Te Ching, and then threw his pen to the west, leisurely becoming a fairy.

In fact, no one knew what was going on. People at that time always liked to tell a story about something, and it had to be a godsend story in order to promote it.

This also involves the dispute between the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, so let's not talk too much, so as not to put the outline on the line.

However, those who are interested can find that in the legend, the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are actually intertwined in many places. I have you in me and you have me in you.

In fact, it’s all stories for the sake of stories. Anyway, they are all written by later generations based on their needs and imagination, which is similar to today’s web articles, and has the same nature.It is said that the brains of the ancients are much stronger than ours.

……

Zhang Xinglong came to Zhengzhou to visit Shangqiu.

There is a liquor factory in Shangqiu, and I have been contacting him during this time, wanting him to help with ideas about marketing.

Anyway, there was nothing else to do, so Zhang Xinglong came over to take a look.

It was almost midnight when we arrived in Zhengzhou, and the bus tossed for nearly six hours.

Zhengzhou is located in a plain area, and the wind is a bit strong. When I got out of the car, the cold wind suddenly blew on my face and body, and I felt a little hard to open my eyes.

He randomly found a small hotel to stay, and the next day Zhang Xinglong took the bus to Shangqiu again.

Although Shangqiu is a prefecture-level city, the urban area is not very big. It is still in the development stage and there are almost no high-rise buildings, but it has a long history. It can be said that it is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation.

From the beginning of the history of writing, this is an important stroke. Civilization can be traced back to ancient times.

This is the original settlement of the Shang tribe, the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty, the birthplace of merchant commodity commerce, and the birthplace of Shang civilization.Merchant, originally meant to refer to the Han nationality in Shangqiu area.

In the center of the city stands a tall Shang Ding, which is impressive and unforgettable.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, following the old system of the Five Dynasties, there were four capitals in the southeast and northwest, Bianliang in Tokyo, Kaifeng, Daming House in BJ, Daming House in Hebei, Henan House in Xijing, and Luoyang.

Shangqiu is Yingtianfu, which is Nanjing.

Kaifeng in Tokyo is the national capital and the center of politics and culture, BJ’s Daming Mansion is the military mansion, and it governs Khitan, and Luoyang in Xijing is the vice capital and a place for the royal family to relax.Yingtianfu in Nanjing and the two capitals of Tokyo stand side by side, because this is the place where Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty, started his family.

In the sixth year of Xiande in the later Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin served as the inspector in front of the palace at that time, and also served as the Jiedu envoy of the German army in Songzhou. , so from Huode, the Northern Song Dynasty is also called Huo Song.

In the third year of Song Zhenzong Jingde, Songzhou was promoted to Yingtianfu, a capital system was established, Guide Hall was built, and the capital and palace city were planned.

It can be said that this is the starting point of the Great Song Dynasty.

When Zhang Xinglong arrived in Shangqiu, the sky began to snow, and the goose feather and heavy snow covered the world one after another, it was a unique scene.

After calling to ask for the address, Zhang Xinglong took a taxi and rushed over.

The winery is located in Suiyang District, and it feels like it has already left the city. A straight road stretches into the vast snow, with no end in sight.

From a distance, I saw a four-story building. Director Yang stood at the gate and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, old Zhang, thank you, I made a trip all the way."

"Hello, hello, you're welcome. I may not be able to help you. I'm fine and I'll take a run to see the customs of ancient Shangqiu."

"Haha, okay, when the weather clears, I'll show you around. Shangqiu City is not big, so you probably won't be interested in it. Let's go upstairs."

This building is a new office building built by their company. The second and third floors are hotels, and they plan to open a hotel in the future.

After Zhang Xinglong arranged a room and settled down, the cafeteria prepared a reception banquet, and it was quite formal, which made Zhang Xinglong feel a little embarrassed.

He really didn't think about what he could do to help, so he just came over to take a look when he had nothing to do.

After dinner, Mr. Yang asked Zhang Xinglong to have a good rest. If he had something to say, he would talk about it tomorrow. Zhang Xinglong went back to his room to sleep.I'm really tired. I haven't had time to rest after the bumpy trip from Yuncheng, and my whole body is sore.

After sleeping until almost noon the next day, Zhang Xinglong got up, washed up and went downstairs to the office.

"Have you rested?"

"Okay, I took the bus from Yuncheng to Zhengzhou, and then I took the bus to Shangqiu. I'm really tired from this journey. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. After lunch, I'll take you for a walk and help me figure out what to do. Our wine is still good, with a mellow taste. You can try it later."

"Let me try it. I don't drink, I'm a little allergic. But I can still tell the difference between good wine and wine."

"Haha, with your big body, it's a pity not to drink." Mr. Yang smiled and patted Zhang Xinglong.

Lunch was still in the cafeteria. Zhang Xinglong drank some white wine from the factory. The taste was okay, not too strong, and the aftertaste was long.

Although Zhang Xinglong doesn't drink now, it turned out that he drank a lot in the technical school, and he can still tell whether the wine is good or bad.

"Corn wine?"

"Hey, is this corn or sweet potato?" Mr. Yang asked the people next to him.

"This is corn. The sweet potatoes will come out tomorrow afternoon."

"It's ok, brother, Zhong, and you still say you don't want to drink, how do you want to drink?"

"I don't usually drink alcohol. I won't lie to you. I drank it for a while when I was a child, but I quit it later. I was allergic and uncomfortable. Look at me after drinking this for a while, my face flushed and my heart beat, and I had red spots on my body."

"In that case, I won't let you. You traveled all over the country and figured out how to sell it. The competition in the baijiu market is very fierce now. We sent invitations to all provinces in the country to sell liquor, but not many came."

"I can imagine that you are a new brand and you are not well-known. If you come up and find big sellers in various places, they will definitely ignore you. There are too many famous wines in our country. You can't count the ones that rely on history or advertising."

"Yes, that's the reason. Right now, it's just a headache. Wine is good wine. It's made of pure grain. Now that the products are out, sales have become a problem. It's not easy to do business. It's a headache."

"Have you tried advertising? Advertising has become popular in recent years. Look at the house wine, and the pool wine. They all explode in one go."
