Historical evolution

background

In 1293, the Tonghui river was excavated and completed, which further reduced the difficulty of land transportation, and military service, heding, servicemen and merchants swarmed to the river. During this period (1302 years ago), the rich people in the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers continued to encroach on their farmland, causing a large number of farmers to migrate to other places. At the same time, the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers increased their transportation and entered wanhufu by sea ships. They were transported completely by sea, from Baihe River to Zhangjiawan by sea. Zhang Yu, who was good at sea transportation, recruited a large number of Cao Ding people and so on. He traveled between the north and South ports, and merchants also went north one after another. The number of Hui households in Zhangjiawan and TongZhou increased accordingly. Then came the mosque.
