Qianci expressed loyalty and left the West Lake with a passion, turning it into a jade three banks.

There was a period of melee between the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, which was called "Five Dynasties and Ten Countries" in history. At that time, Zhejiang and Fuzhou were occupied by a small country called Wu Yueguo. Wu Yueguo was founded by Qian Liu, a warlord at the end of the Tang Dynasty (then called the secretariat). At that time, the central government's dominance over local governments declined in the Tang Dynasty, so powerful warlords all over the country set up their own businesses, and Qian Liu was just one of them.

Qian Liu was born in the late Tang Dynasty. At that time, there were frequent wars and famines, and the north was empty. "Great plague in eastern Zhejiang, most of the dead", "Great drought in the south of the Yangtze River, hungry people eat each other". Qian Liu grew up in the countryside and began to study literature at the age of seven. In order to make a living and support his relatives, he once sold salt to make a living and knew the hardships in the countryside. He witnessed the troubled times and knew that martial arts was the only way out. Besides selling salt, he also practiced crossbows and halberds and read the art of war. On the way to selling salt, he was familiar with the people's feelings and terrain, and prepared favorable conditions for future marching operations. At the age of twenty-one, he joined the ranks, and he won the world at once with "extreme courage". After hundreds of battles, he became king from vice history. Qian Liu's strategy of "serving the Central Plains without losing the minister's day" forced neighboring countries to dare not rashly attack wuyue, thus realizing the leap-forward development of wuyue's economy.

During the more than 80 years from the establishment of Wu Yueguo to its demise, "protecting the environment and protecting the people" has always been his concept of governing the country. This not only ensured the economic prosperity and people's recuperation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but also doomed the fact that it was eventually annexed.

Qian Liu's "protecting the environment and protecting the people" is a far-sighted strategy, which is his genius. "Protecting the environment and protecting the people" does not rely on simple and passive defense of military strength and political power, let alone closed division, but achieves its goal by actively and flexibly using political, economic and diplomatic strategies. Qian Liu created Wu Yueguo. He was far-sighted, took care of the overall situation, took advantage of Wu Yueguo's advantages in weather, geography and people, seized the favorable opportunity, enjoyed the people and actively developed Wu Yueguo's economy and culture. He regards relaxing economy and prospering economy as the basis of urban development and is the pioneer of urban revolution. During the period of Wu Yueguo, the expansion of cities, the increase of immigrants, the convenience of transportation, the convenience of communication and the extensive commodity trading directly promoted the development of urbanization. According to historical records, the registered population in Hangzhou was only 15380 in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. At the peak of the Five Dynasties, the population of wuyue surged to 100,000 and 500,000, which was faster than other nine countries.

At this time, because of the policy of "protecting the environment and protecting the people", the economy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has developed rapidly and become a "land of plenty". Because of "returning farmland to Song Dynasty", it was not looted by war. It has preserved decades of development achievements. This solid economic foundation indirectly contributed to the "Song Dynasty's southward migration" and set Hangzhou as its capital, all of which could not be separated from the unremitting efforts of Wu Yueguo III and the Five Kings. During the reign of Qian Hongchu, the fifth king of wuyue, the situation in China changed greatly. After the famous "Chen Qiao mutiny" was launched, the northern people became yellow robes, seized the regime of the Hou Zhou Dynasty, and became king on their own. During the reign of Zhao Kuangyin, he gradually eliminated several small countries in the north and joined two small warlords in the south, namely Houshu and Nanhan.

In 960 AD, Yue Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, replacing the later Zhou Dynasty and destroying the eight southern countries by force.

In 974, Zhao Kuangyin prepared to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was founded by the famous poet Li Yu. Li Yu is determined to resist the army of the Song Dynasty. Qian Hongchu, King of Wu Yue, received two letters at the same time. Li Yu wrote a letter to him, hoping that he would join hands to resist the Song Dynasty. Another letter was written by Zhao Kuangyin, hoping that he could unite the Song Dynasty to destroy the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Qian Hongchu has two choices, but either choice will affect the course of history.

If we successfully unite the Southern Tang Dynasty against the Northern Song Dynasty, we will copy the "Battle of Red Cliffs" in the Sun-Liu Alliance of the Three Kingdoms. Since then, we have divided the world into three parts and achieved a monopoly. If we successfully unite the Northern Song Dynasty to destroy the Tang Dynasty, Wu Yueguo, whose family has worked hard for decades, will also be lost, and the taste of being a prisoner of war will be unpleasant, but Zhao Kuangyin may be able to spare himself because of his "loyalty" in helping the Northern Song Dynasty destroy the Tang Dynasty.

After much consideration, Qian Hongchu finally decided to destroy the Tang Dynasty one after another. Facing the powerful forces of Zhao and Song Dynasties, Qian Honghu, the grandson of Qian Liu and the fifth king of China, made painful and wise choices, such as "being kind to China" and "joining as early as possible in case of God's will", and took the initiative to write that "the land should be returned to Song Dynasty". In the third year of Song Taizong's peaceful rejuvenation (978), 550,000 soldiers from 13 states, 86 counties and115,000 troops all surrendered to the Beizong Dynasty, which became the only "peaceful transition" among the ten countries without resorting to war, so that the people once again avoided a war and became the first example of China's peaceful reunification. Facts have proved that Li Yu is not Sun Quan and Qian Hongchu is not Liu Bei. The Southern Tang Dynasty was captured by the Northern Song Dynasty under attack from both sides. Two months later, Wu Yueguo returned to the Song Dynasty. Since then, the whole of China has been basically unified by Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin, and Qian Hongchu was made King Deng for helping the Northern Song Dynasty, and married his children.

The spirit that money reflects the people's wishes and conforms to the historical trend is immortal. Qian Wang was good at the Central Plains, protected the environment, protected the people, followed the trend, and returned to the Song Dynasty, which was affirmed by historians and still has great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance. Money benefits the Central Plains, protects the environment and people, conforms to the trend and maintains unity, which is a huge and precious legacy of our Chinese nation and is worth inheriting and carrying forward.

Ode to the king of money

Draw people's attention

On the one hand, the stone is cold and ruthless, and public morality is engraved;

Leave the West Lake full of blood and turn it into a jade dike.

Kick off the gems of half the mountain and shoot through Qiantang seawater city;

Don't protect the world with self-interest, and make a living with land to Song Ji. When Su Dongpo was the magistrate in Hangzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, he asked the court to build the "Qianwang Memorial Hall". And personally wrote "Biao Zhongming". Among the hundreds of surnames founded in the Northern Song Dynasty, "Qian" ranked second. This is enough to show the high status of the Qian family at that time.

In Zi Tong Zhi Jian, Sima Guang spoke highly of Qian Liu's national policy of doing good to the Central Plains: "Qian Liu's family instructions, and even his last will, never forget to do good to China, and never change his surname to abolish the ceremony of great events." Wuyue is rich in the southeast, and Qian Liu has indeed made great contributions to the governance of Hangzhou. In the Qing dynasty, Qianlong wrote an inscription for the king of money: "The book of scholarly gold is guaranteed when borrowing soil; Industry cornerstone mirror, build a pond to celebrate An Lan ",unanimously affirmed Qian Liu's historical contribution.
