Section 229 is a frenzied traitor
The bandit-like army in the interior killed and beat people in the extermination of the Buddha, and the murder finally vented the evil fire that had accumulated in the chest. The local government and the army made money to raid the temple.
The gold, silver and copper coins hidden in the temple kiln were dug out after the officers and soldiers brutally interrogated the abbot and other elders, and the jewels inlaid in the relief of the Buddha statue were cut off, and the Buddha statue was carved in stone and painted, including the temple, there was no benefit, the bandit officers and soldiers were too lazy to smash it, and threw it aside a few times, if it was cast in copper or mud tire gold and silver plated was all smashed, dismembered or dissolved in the water to take away the copper or dissolved in the muddy gold and silver foam, as for the temple in the bronze gold bell stupa silver wind chime or something will not let go, The valuable ones were completely looted, and the less valuable ones, such as pots and cloth covers, were also looted, in short, there was no room for the temple to continue to live conveniently.
This is the need to destroy the Buddha. If the temple was not destroyed, it was already the laziness and disloyalty of the officers and soldiers that they did not thoroughly carry out the will of the imperial court.
The temples in the vicinity of the Western Army and Gyeonggi were not directly impacted by the frenzy of immigration, and they were located in the northwest or prosperous and developed areas of the Great Song Dynasty, where there were many people and few temples, and it was convenient for them to cooperate with the enemy to smuggle and collect money. Elsewhere it's a lot worse. The officers and soldiers who raided the temple were not satisfied with the harvest, and even the monks' clothes were not spared, not to mention the luxurious robes that wore gold and silver threads, and the relatively new gray cloth monks' robes of ordinary monks were also snatched and divided. Other useful things are even more reluctant to let go.
This phenomenon is not only the dissatisfaction and ruthlessness of the copyist, but also the main reason for the embarrassing and strange social status quo of the Great Song Dynasty.
In the summer national disaster, the huge number of people lost in the overwhelming wave after wave of defections, along the way looted almost all useful things except for the inconvenient to carry the grain and piles of tattered copper coins dug out of the kiln, pots, kitchen knives, exquisite tea sets, plates, iron farming tools, cloth, good clothes and shoes, and bedding...... All snatched away, chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and pigs and other livestock were eaten and taken almost empty, cattle and horses are pulled from the Cangzhao family to promote the rise of the convenience of transporting crops almost every family has the power of the trailer, need to vigorously load the fruitful results of robbery and inconvenient long-distance travel of the old and weak women and children, naturally will not let go.
This is a great sweep and looting of material wealth.
People didn't let go of this either.
Under the deliberate guidance, instruction and control of a large number of spies and other personnel sent by the pirate state to encourage defection and mix with defectors, innocent women and children other than the old, weak, sick and disabled, inconvenient to defect and not live for a few years are also trying to sweep away and forcibly take them away.
The pirate state is preparing in advance for the catastrophe of the Jin army to destroy the Song.
Damn the men and vicious women with broken brains who should be taught a cruel lesson, let them endure countless tortures, tragic punishments and tests in the catastrophe of alien annihilation, touch the soul to know that they are wrong, know that they take the initiative to repent spiritually from the three views, and those who are lucky enough to survive until the light comes will be saved, but they are strictly bound by feudal etiquette and poison innocent women and children who can't be their own masters, and the pirates can't let them suffer too, let alone allow the Jin army and beasts to wantonly slaughter and enjoy these innocent women and children.
Nowadays, the Great Song Dynasty not only has a shortage of almost everything except food and tattered copper coins, but even the women who weave cloth are pitiful.
The Song Dynasty, which was patriarchal and the ratio of men and women was already very imbalanced, except for the anti-thief areas such as the Northwest, Gyeonggi and Tianhu, the men and women were more completely out of balance, and there were unscrupulous and corrupt or selfish, numb and stupid singles everywhere, women, especially the young and capable of working, became a rare breed similar to the giant panda, and the little girls were even rarer, and there were strangely not many people who needed women to do the work and social responsibilities, which directly caused the cloth and other materials that had been looted extremely badly, and even the follow-up production to make up for it became a serious problem. If this dynasty wants to run for a long time, if it continues to only care about stealing peace and pleasure, and does not have the courage and ability to rob foreign women of different races, those arrogant and mean noble ladies who are high in the sky are afraid that they will have to honestly pick up needlework and thread, set up looms, pick mulberry and raise silkworms. At least they have to worry about what they wear. Because no matter how rich and powerful you are, it is useless, and the Great Song Society will not have enough cloth to buy or forcibly expropriate it with power.
Not to mention the major social issue of marrying and reproducing, where can a wife marry a wife when there is an extreme shortage of young women? It's just that Da Song can't care about this at the moment.
The local bureaucrats understood the situation, and they were already complaining about the embarrassing living situation, and they had a premonition that the end of the Great Song Dynasty was not far away, and instead of cheering up their spirits and making great efforts to govern the country, they became more and more greedy and shameless, and ran rampant and lawless, desperately searching for money in preparation for the terrible years of the Great Song Dynasty's collapse or even annihilation. The officers and soldiers robbed the temple to loot so cleanly, even if the monks wore the coarse cloth robes that were still very new. Take it back and dye it and change it to be a good dress for yourself.
This is all subconsciously preparing for the inevitable extraordinary shortage and difficult life in the future. It is an instinctive act of survival.
At the moment, in addition to the lack of food, and there is too much planting but less, I am afraid that the autumn harvest of eighty percent of the population that no one harvests will arrive soon, and there will be a large amount of grain in hand, and almost everything else is lacking, and everything is high and valuable. Almost all of the things that the officers and soldiers looted were worth a lot of money, and they could not be let go if they had the opportunity to rob them.
However, the dignitaries and nobles in the capital did not understand the situation, or did not believe that the complaints and worries reported sporadically below would be so serious.
Because the Gyeonggi area was not looted by the crazy onslaught. The social conditions that the nobles themselves saw and learned about were terrible, but they were not so terrible.
Even if it is really so bad, the nobles are confident that their status and power are in their hands, and they have to give priority to the benefits of the whole country, and no one can suffer if they suffer.
Knowledgeable dignitaries are definitely talented, and they are worried about it when they realize that they are powerful, but it is impossible to say that worry becomes anxiety or even panic day and night.
They all have thoroughly realized from history that no matter how bad the society is, it is always the people at the bottom who are unlucky and suffering. These social elites will not bear the painful and tormented price of national danger and national crisis. Whoever is the ruler cannot do without them to govern the people on their behalf, and to serve and gain wealth from them.
What about the demise of the strong Han and the Tang Dynasty?
What about Wuhu Chaohua?
Without delaying at all, the elite of Han society like them still sing and dance, and live a rich, decent, and happy life.
If the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee say that they are most worried, or have to worry about them, only a very small number of powerful ministers in Bai Shizhong are the middle. Because they're in that position, and they have to face this.
As for the emperor Zhao Ji in the deep palace, he didn't know how powerful.
Because Gyeonggi is also turbulent and unsafe, he doesn't even dare to sneak out of the palace to find excitement and actually understand some social realities by the way, hiding in the deep palace, everything he wants to know depends on what his subordinates are willing to let him see and understand something. What can he know about the incompetence of the people below to disguise the incompetence of governing the country and not report him for his bad points?
He only knew that the catastrophe had a heavy loss of people, which hurt the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and the throne of the country was not so stable, so he was frightened, but he was not a positive idea, rectify the rule of officials, eliminate the malpractices, reward the virtuous, and be able to govern the country diligently, and strive to reverse the crisis situation and rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty, but shrank his head, the more enthusiastic he was, the more enthusiastic he was to cultivate immortals, and strive to protect himself and liberate himself from the mundane world in time.
This is due to his arrogant but cowardly and extremely vain and selfish nature. He was never a responsible emperor, nor did he have the ambition and ability to change anything.
When everything went well, he felt that he was the natural boss of the two ancestors of God, Taoism, and Buddha. Everybody has to follow him and let him. Everyone has to do their best to make him happy and satisfied. As soon as he encountered the disaster that the violence of the regime in his hands could not resist, he became a different look, reluctantly retreating, and took the initiative to bow his head and admit that he was small.
Zhao Ji is still trying to pursue a luxurious life of drunken dreams and death, and is annoyed that his subordinates are not loyal and do not serve him wholeheartedly, but he doesn't know that if it weren't for the fact that the Gyeonggi area was less affected, and there were some poultry and other wealth, although he was an emperor, he was afraid that it would be extremely difficult and extravagant to eat an egg.
If it is in other parts of the Great Song Dynasty, in many places, there is not a single chicken left, extinct, this species does not exist at all, and they have all been plundered to the pirate country to breed and breed new species, if you want to eat chickens, where can you get it? No matter how loyal Zhao Ji's palace purchasing team is, no matter how hard he tries to find chickens and search for chickens, it is also in vain to satisfy the emperor's master.
Zhao Ji is lucky enough to have chickens to eat.
Nowadays, poultry and everything are rare and sky-high. Many rich and corrupt officials cannot afford or even eat at all. The people are not stupid, they hold on to it and wait for a higher price. Zhao Ji punished his subordinates for abusing him, and his subordinates said that they were really wronged, but the emperor didn't believe it, how could the big empire not even be able to supply my living needs......
It is said that what makes the magistrate the most happy is the good things other than the gold and silver coins copied from the temple.
Buddha relics, famous calligraphy and painting ancient books...... These historical objects have been seriously lost and damaged in the wars of the past dynasties, and what can be handed down are rare treasures.
But in the secular family, whether it is a former royal family, or a folk rich family, it is difficult to keep the ancient books of calligraphy, painting and calligraphy of famous historical artists, and it is difficult to survive in difficult times, and a coarse grain cake mixed with sand that is difficult to swallow is also countless times more important and precious than these treasures that can only be seen and cannot be used. And these objects collected in the temple that have been inherited endlessly are in the hands of the elders, only a very few people know, and when there is a war, they will be buried in the secret place of the temple, and the monks will automatically disperse, and they will go to their own future to find a way to live.
Now, the local government has confiscated some of these treasures, but it is forbidden to stain the Buddhism, and it is easy to get into trouble if there is no market and no value in the Song Kingdom, but the pirate country does not have this taboo, and is willing to buy these things at a high price, so they secretly sell them to pirates in exchange for profits when reselling grain copper (money).
Copper coins because of too many kilns hidden out of circulation, materials are highly scarce, money can not be bought, copper money purchasing power plummeted, for example, in the past a copper plate can be exchanged for a bunch of eggs, now, the money has always been able to buy a fresh chicken feathers. Similarly, copper is now worthless. If the copper obtained from the confiscation of the temple is cast into copper coins to increase the money, it will definitely be lost and cry to death. As in the past, the classical and refined copper tripods were used in exchange for gold and silver for collection, and no one is rare in the Great Song Dynasty now. The gold and silver, which had been robbed by pirate defectors and became extremely scarce, were on the contrary expensive. Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times, this is another ancient precept. Troubled times, but I'm afraid it's coming soon. Getting enough gold and silver for the needs of troubled times is the urgent focus and convenience of being an official and a master. The pirate's silver coin was indeed exquisitely minted, and it is not known how the eagle and other delicate patterns on it could be minted in such a vivid and large quantities. Various reasons prompted all parts of the Great Song Dynasty to frantically resell grain and copper in exchange for pirate silver dollars. The bronze Buddha copper tripod obtained from the temple....... Because it is difficult to use, it is easy to be lost, and it is difficult to find craftsmen by pirates, and the gold and silver foam that cannot be turned into large pieces are also exchanged for pirate currency.
It is also the most cost-effective not to exchange for pirate currency, but also for pirate goods.
First of all, if you don't eat salt for three days, you will be weak and weak. The salt is completely in the hands of the pirates, and I am afraid that it will be out of stock at any time, so it must be purchased and stored in large quantities.
Secondly, it is also necessary to buy back some of the countless cloths and so on that the pirates robbed, and they need to use it at home, and it is also a scarce sky-high commodity to sell, and it will obviously become more and more scarce and expensive in the future, countless people will rush to ask for it, people want face, and they can't go out naked.
The gold and silver foam were traded with the Buddha's relics, famous calligraphy and paintings, ancient books and pirates, and at a deep level, there was also a tactful gesture of favor to the obviously powerful pirates to prepare for the future.
You have to have long front and back eyes. Don't just focus on the immediate benefits.
The Great Song Dynasty is afraid that it will be finished, and it will not exist for too long if it is not finished. What if the terrible chaotic day suddenly comes? Money alone is not enough. It is also necessary to have a strong force to rely on. Otherwise, you can't save your life, what's the use of having money? In troubled times, it is easier to die if you have more money. How can you not make a retreat in advance now.
When it comes to the future fate of themselves and their families, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are all shrewd and far-reaching.
The vast majority of them are smart people who have rushed out of the imperial examination, and they do not lack brains or knowledge, and they are not comparable to those ignorant and ignorant unscrupulous people who only care about the little profits in front of them and the robbers, anti-thieves, and grass cowards who only care about the happiness in front of them.
This is the advantage of a reader, who knows when and what is most important, knows how to strategize and think long-term, and knows how to deal with the turbulent times of dynasty change.
