Governor of Water Transport
About This Novel
The plum blossoms are gone in the cold snow, and the spring breeze is coming back from the willow trees. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has thawed and started sailing. Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou, known as the gateway to Beijing and the first pier of the Grand Canal, has once again seen a bustling scene of thousands of sails racing and hundreds of boats competing for the current. When the Yuan Dynasty established its capital in Beijing, grain and rice were sent to the southeast, and grain transportation was a major event for the court. Zhangjiawan is the northernmost water transport terminal of the canal. After Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, became emperor, he moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing and carried out large-scale construction in the fourth year of Yongle (1406). The building materials used to build palaces, mausoleums, government offices, etc. Were all transported to Beijing via the canal waterway via the Zhangjiawan Imperial Wood Factory. No wonder there is a saying among the people that "Zhangjiawan came first, and then Beijing City".
