I was bored in the palace, so I went to Jiangnan to get some air, see if there were any Jiangnan beauties, and took one home. In Princess Zhu Huan 3, Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River and met Xia Yingying, a beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, but I still feel sorry for her.
Anyway, when watching TV series, I think going to Jiangnan is the most pleasant thing, but he is a generation of emperors. Just for sightseeing? Of course not. The emperor has splendid scenery, but you can't let yourself squander it.
In ancient times, a form of Qianlong's going to the south of the Yangtze River was also known as "hunting and traveling". For example, Qin Shihuang's worship of Mount Tai is actually a new form of hunting tourism. The emperor's trip to Beijing to inspect local affairs was a kind of hunting trip, which was later called hunting tour, cruising and cruising.
The earliest record of ancient emperors' hunting trips can be found in Records of the Five Emperors, in which the Yellow Emperor "crossed the sea eastward, climbed Maruyama Mountain and took the place of ancestors. As for Kong Tong in the west, it's a chicken head. As for the south river, climb Xiongxiang. The north is porridge, in Busan, and the city is in the land of Zhuolu. "
It can be seen from this record that the ancient emperors patrolled hunting, or patrolling transportation.
Jiangnan was a rich place in the Qing Dynasty, and its status at that time was as important as that of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which are now open to the outside world.
It is for these reasons that it is completely understandable to go to Jiangnan. The emperor came down to look at the GDP in the south of the Yangtze River, inspect the capabilities of enterprises and institutions, and understand the general situation of people's livelihood. This is an interactive exchange between the country and the ecology of the south of the Yangtze River.
Relying only on the reports of local officials, there is likely to be some false information. There was no big data development at that time. Gan Long has a personal understanding of this and a systematic understanding of the economy and people's livelihood in the south of the Yangtze River.
From the many southern tours of Emperor Kang and Emperor Gan, we can see what this rich land in the south of the Yangtze River meant to the Qing Dynasty at that time.
"Fazu saves the province" is the slogan that Emperor Qianlong shouted when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River. As can be seen from this slogan, Emperor Qianlong came out to cruise under the banner of obeying the law.
During his six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, he followed the example of Kangxi and wooed scholars from all over the south of the Yangtze River, trying to participate in the cultural construction suitable for the Qing government.
Jiangnan is not only rich in products, but also littered with literati, talented people, beautiful women and handsome men. Ganlong has formulated a set of methods to attract talents from the south of the Yangtze River, such as increasing the number of study places in tourist spots; Encourage scholars to offer poems and take exams; Preferential treatment for civil servants in Jiangnan area and so on.
With this series of preferential policies, among these subtle influences, Jiangnan scholars have been greatly attracted, and some of them are even extremely significant.
There are many literati in Jiangnan. If we use Huairou's policy to win over these literati, it will greatly control the culture and make Jiangnan win over by this kind of warmth.
In terms of attracting scholars, Gan Long also followed the old system of Kangxi and expanded the number of students. However, he introduced a new way of selecting talents, that is, offering poems and fu, and the emperor himself gave questions and the selected scholars answered them, so that outstanding people stood out and did not have to take the imperial examination.
Why do you write poems everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River? In addition to calling himself a "poet", it is to win over those prestigious social classes.
This is completely understandable. The emperor always gives something to the people or subordinates when he is out on patrol, so the boss thinks it seems that my handwriting is good, so he gives him a painting and calligraphy.
What an honor it is for the emperor to give gifts with his royal pen. Subordinates or people dare not neglect, so they respectfully mount this painting or word. They won't touch it except for special things, because it is too precious.
When Qianlong made a southern tour, it was also the right medicine. Who's right and who's wrong, and how to reward them, we all know it. For example, for those officials, what kind of reward is better for "doing a good job"? This Mo Bao has been blowing for several lifetimes; Forgive those who have been punished and give them another chance to "turn over a new leaf"; For those who retire, give them a false name, just like the "honorary chairman" now.
In short, for different people, Qianlong will draw in different ways.
On the one hand, some researchers believe that the southern tour of Qianlong has played an outstanding role in consolidating unity, netting the Han people, harnessing rivers and repairing seawalls, and strengthening military equipment, which is conducive to maintaining national stability and prospering culture and economy.
Critics believe that Ganlong's southern tour is nominally to control rivers and build seawalls, but most of it is for pleasure, wasting people's money, ruining official governance and folk customs, and causing heavy burdens to the people.
Of course, this is a saying, and different people have different opinions. The purpose of Ganlong's southern tour is good, but it is impossible to lead the people under him to deceive his superiors and delude his subordinates, or even to please Gan Long.
It is no exaggeration to interpret the grand occasion of Qianlong's trip to the south of the Yangtze River in TV dramas. It is not impossible to meet Xia Yingying, a famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River, because the following people are always speculating about your heart. There is a TV series that interprets Queen Urnala's broken invention and becomes an eternal mystery. Maybe this mystery really has something to do with the flattery of those officials?
Some descendants think that the southern tour of Qianlong is more extravagant and ineffective than Kangxi. Kangxi's southern tour visited the river workers many times, and finally ensured that the Yellow River was safe and sound for decades. It cost millions of dollars to harness the river, but the Yellow River flooded more and more seriously.
Of course, it's not just for a confidante in film and television dramas. His six southern tours have certain positive significance, but there are also some controversial points. The loveliness of history is that it always appears in a hazy face, and it is difficult for people to see through the truth in one sentence.
