Chapter 294: A Fantastical and Magical Reality
As we all know, the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty is the universal language of the world in this era, whether it is the upper nobles of the Wa Kingdom or the upper nobles of the Goryeo sticks, or even the upper nobles of Burma and Siam, they can speak fluently in the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty and can write beautiful Chinese characters.
If it weren't for the fact that Shenzhou Lu Shen was overturned after the Jiashen National Disaster, if it wasn't for the fact that the Tartars were too corrupt, it is estimated that there would be nothing to do.
But, that's the problem.
The people of the Great Song Dynasty could send lanterns to the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, and the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty also went shopping in Bianjing City from time to time, and even some emperors went to visit the Qinglou in person and competed with the ministers for jealousy. But those upper-class nobles and ordinary Japanese slaves are two creatures in the two worlds, except for those high-class nobles who want to loot money from ordinary Japanese slaves, there is basically no intersection between the two.
Therefore, there are very few Japanese slaves who can speak the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the eyes of the Qingpi Broken Households of the Great Song Dynasty, this is a typical incomprehension.
Naturally, few of these Japanese laborers who were captured by Liu Ergou could speak human language - Liu Ergou went to the Japanese country a few times, and he also met a Sasaki Yoshihisa who could speak the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty, and the rest were basically barbarians who could only speak the words of birds and beasts in the Japanese country.
That's why it's a headache for the Teaching Division.
Now we need to teach thousands of Japanese women to learn the simple official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty, will it become tens of thousands of Japanese women who need to be taught in the future?
If you want to teach these bullshit widows to speak, you have to make them dress up like a person, and they can do some work on weekdays, which is not a little difficult.
Of course, the biggest advantage of being an official is that officials can turn their own headaches into headaches for others - don't look at the Teaching Workshop Department as just an entertainment organization, but no matter how much it is an entertainment organization, it is also a government-run entertainment organization, and it has an administrative establishment.
Therefore, whether it is Bianjing City or other places, all the Qinglou in various places have invariably received orders from the government, asking each of these Qinglou families to send an old mother to the Bianjing City Teaching Workshop Division to listen to it.
Then, Qiu Ba and the people, who had arrived at the Gansu Political Envoy and the Jiaozhi Political Envoy, were pleasantly surprised to find that the imperial court really gave everyone a concubine!
Of course, it's okay if you don't want a concubine. If you don't want a concubine, you can directly receive a subsidy of five yuan, depending on how the individual chooses.
Moreover, it is very clear in the text issued by the Privy Council and the Ministry of Households, whether it is a married person or not, whether it is a forbidden army, a box army or an ordinary person, what the court is now issuing is only a concubine, and it is strictly forbidden to raise a concubine into a wife.
If you want a wife, you must be a woman in the family of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, whether they are Han women or Miao girls or the like, only these women with household registration in the Great Song Dynasty can become regular wives in the household registration book of the Great Song Dynasty, and the rest can only be concubines! Concubine! Anyone who dares to raise a concubine as a wife, whether he marries a wife or not, will be dealt with as a spoiled concubine and a wife!
How to deal with spoiling concubines and killing wives?
The local government's handling of this kind of thing is generally to make a board and exile and invalidate the wife, but the army does not pay attention to this - the army is generally dealt with by military law, as long as there is a clatter and then hang the head to show the public, all problems will be solved.
Although the writing of the Privy Council and the Ministry of Household is quite a bit of a dog meddled with a mouse, it is not a problem at all for Qiu Ba and the people, and it is always a good thing that the court is willing to send a concubine to the big guy to play-
Who doesn't want to take a concubine if they become married? Those who are not married also want to get a warm quilt first. Even if these concubines are a little stupid and always stumble when they speak, they can talk to people, warm the bed, what kind of bicycle do they need?
What everyone didn't expect was that after the unpleasant fact that the imperial court issued concubines was realized, the phenomenon of stealing boundary monuments appeared more frequently and more rampantly.
What the local government wants is the growth rate of Dingkou and a large number of laborers, and the Qingpi need to arrest a large number of laborers for silver, and the barbarian leading party wants to have the household registration of the Great Song Dynasty, so that a stable iron triangle of interests has been formed between the local government and the Qingpi and the barbarian leading party.
There are even barbarians who willingly get caught as laborers.
That's right, just willingly.
For those barbarians who were close to the Great Song Dynasty, if they couldn't get the household registration of the Great Song Dynasty, it would be better to be arrested as laborers.
When is labor dangerous?
Isn't this nonsense, isn't starvation not death? Isn't it dead to be bullied and exploited by those dignitaries?
Anyway, it's a death, if you can be a laborer, at least you can eat enough. Compared to the days when I didn't know when I would starve to death, being a laborer has become a way out, at least it is much better than continuing to be a barbarian.
Therefore, there have been a large number of cases of barbarians taking the initiative to arrest laborers. These barbarians prepared ropes in advance, and when the green skins who caught the laborers arrived, these barbarians took the initiative to tie their hands and their families, and then happily stood in the middle of the road to stop the green skins.
There are even some barbarians who take the initiative to sell their daughters as slave girls - although they can't be their wives, even if they are concubines for the Song people, they can guarantee to survive, and even live well......
Such a fantastic and magical reality made the entire Great Song Dynasty court drop their jaws from top to bottom.
Then Tobe Shangshu Zhuang Chengyi began to have a headache.
Tobe's budget is spent!
The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites have become the biggest winners of this year's budget approval, and more than half of the entire national treasury budget has been allocated to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites for dredging rivers and building social studies.
In contrast, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council received a little more actual budget than in previous years, but if calculated in proportion to the overall budget of the National Treasury, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council became the biggest losers.
As for the Ministry of Households, it is more difficult - no matter what year it is, the budget of the Ministry of Households itself is relatively small, after all, compared to the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, the Ministry of Household has relatively few places to spend money.
But what no one expected was that the household department would suddenly need to take out money to buy the widows this year and give them to those Qiu Ba and the people as concubines.
Then the household department ran out of money.
"So, you just want to ask me for money? You're a cash machine, aren't you? ”
Zhao Huan had a gloomy face, his nose was not a nose, and he stared at Zhuang Chengyi with a shameless face: "This landlord's family has no surplus grain." ”
"Borrow, the minister is looking for an official to borrow money, not to ask for it."
Zhuang Chengyi said: "The minister will find the official family to borrow one million yuan to deal with the emergency, and then return it to the official family when the autumn tax of Jingkang's four years comes." ”
But Zhao Huan snorted and said, "I've never heard of a Pixiu spitting out things. ”
