Chapter 1420: Orthodoxy
This time, the emperor invited the two queens to come to Mount Tai to participate in the ceremony, not only the descendants of the royal family of the Sui and Zhou dynasties, but directly invited the descendants of the emperors of the northern and southern dynasties, and each of them was crowned a marquis.
Northern Wei Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty, Eastern Wei Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, Southern Qi Dynasty, Southern Liang Dynasty, Southern Chen Dynasty, Southern Four Dynasties, plus Sui Dynasty, unified Northern and Southern Dynasties, ten emperors and descendants of the previous dynasties, Luo Cheng selected one person to be awarded the title of Marquis, and let them climb Mount Tai to watch the ceremony.
This time it can be regarded as a verdict for those officials and historians in the National History Bureau who have been arguing endlessly for the orthodoxy between the north and the south.
"The previous dynasties were just making an appearance to the two queens, but the saint was posthumously crowned after the first ten dynasties at one time, and they were all marquis, which is really unprecedented."
"It's just an empty marquis, and it's not worth much, and I've listened to them fight for too long, such a north-south orthodox dispute, continuing to fight is actually not good for the court and the world. No matter how the north and the south were divided, they are still reunited after all, and all of them are the sons and daughters of China on this land of China. ”
"The sage is right."
Luo Cheng asked the palace people to help him change into a light and casual outfit and sit down.
"Freshly brewed tea."
"It's good to have wine." Wei Zheng said with a smile.
"Okay." Luo Cheng asked people to take wine, "Although the emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Western Wei and Eastern Wei were Xianbei people, after all, after unifying the north, they actively Sinicized and implemented a policy of integration, rather than a barbaric policy like the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms. Therefore, I have never counted these Wuhu and Sixteen into the orthodoxy of the Central Plains. ”
Wuhu went south and successively established more than 20 countries, of which 16 were relatively strong, although Zhao Yanqin and other countries were strong, but they only put themselves above the Han people in the north.
After the Northern Wei Dynasty unified the north, it soon began to actively sinicize, accept Han culture, they are the Xianbei people of Sinicization, although the emperor and the upper class are mainly Xianbei, but they have not excluded the Han people, but they have taken the initiative to integrate, this kind of policy is actually very common, such as what Turkic Mongols are common in later generations, etc., Sinicized Mongolia and so on.
The history of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms has been characterized by Emperor Luo Cheng as Hu Lu's invasion of China, which is aggression. So these people can only be regarded as the history of aggression, not the history of the Han family itself.
During this period, only the Jin was orthodox in the history of the Han family.
The wine is coming.
Wei Zheng poured a cup for the emperor first, and then poured himself a cup as well.
The nose sucked.
"Good wine."
"This is a new white sheep wine, also known as lamb wine, which is made from tender lamb, millet and koji."
"Do you have millet to be obtained?"
"Do you want to steal the secret recipe again? Your Wei's home-brewed wine is one of the top ten famous wines in my Daqin today, famous all over the world, and you are still not satisfied? ”
The name of Wei Zheng's wine is simple, just four words of Wei's home-brewed, but this wine has a unique taste, and it has long made a reputation, and now it has become a good wine with a good reputation and is extremely popular. Wei Zheng's family relied on this wine to open wineries and restaurants in various places, and they didn't know how much they had to earn in a year.
"People who are good wines, when they see good wine, they can't help but want to ask."
"Haha, in fact, this wine can be used with millet rice, glutinous rice is also OK, the key is to take the fat and tender lamb in the wax moon, bring the bones, add water to the pot and boil, so that it is very soft and rotten, wet out of the bones, break it with silk, keep the meat sweat, and use it when cooking wine and rice. Finally, the gravy, rice and koji are brewed in an urn and it is ready in a few days. This wine has a unique flavor and belongs to high-end wine, which is very popular with dignitaries. ”
"It seems that there is no shortage of mutton, and the estimated cost is quite high, no wonder it is so expensive." Wei Zhengdao.
"This wine is newly developed by the Royal Wine Workshop of the Inner Servant Province, and the method is actually an improved folk recipe. They set up wineries in the northern coastal areas, purchased the lambs of the Hu people from Saibei and Guanwai, rushed to the sea in Guannei in winter, and then slaughtered them on the spot, obtained fresh mutton, and took the Zhancheng glutinous land of Lingnan and other real estate transported from the sea ship, made into lamb wine, and then shipped south, transported to the interior through the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and sold everywhere. ”
Wei Zheng was a shrewd person, and he immediately understood that the emperor's wine shop could greatly reduce costs by doing this. The sheep outside the Saiwai and Guanwai are transported to the coastal areas of Hebei or the seaports of Liaoxi and Lushun, the distance is much shorter, and the transportation is also convenient. In the same way, transporting glutinous rice from Lingnan Zhancheng, which has high grain production and low price, to the northern coast, although it is farther away, can be directly unloaded at the port, which can still save time and transportation costs.
Even after the sake is brewed, it can be directly put on the ship and leave the port.
"When it's cold, it's comfortable to drink hot and hot." Wei Zhengmi took two bites.
The royal industry, what to do to make money, Wei Zheng envies, but there is nothing to be jealous of, their Wei family brewing, has already had a large number of loyal customers.
"There are many cattle and sheep in Saibei and outside the Guan, but it is not easy for the herdsmen's cattle and sheep to be transported to the Guannei, the road is far away, and the loss on the road is too great, so the price of the cattle and sheep outside the Guanxi is not cheap after entering the Guan. I thought about finding a way to solve this problem, not only to let the herdsmen's cattle and sheep have a way out, but also to let the people of the Central Plains eat cheaper beef and mutton outside the Guanwai. ”
Now Luo Cheng has set up many border markets in the frontier, purchased a large number of cattle and sheep from the Hu people, and even went deep into the grassland pastoral areas, directly hired the Hu people in the local area to establish a slaughterhouse, and directly slaughtered the purchased cattle and sheep for processing.
In addition to meat products, it will also purchase shepherd's ghee, cow and goat milk, etc., and will be processed into milk tablets and cheese and other goods that are easy to store and transport.
After slaughtering cattle and sheep, their skin and wool can also be processed for easy transportation back to the Central Plains.
A large number of dairy and meat products were processed into military rations, which were purchased by the military department, and many were also shipped back to the Central Plains and put on the market, enriching the people's demand for non-staple food.
A big cow was transported to Luoyang and lived for 5,000 yuan. And on the grassland, such a cow may be worth a thousand or more.
Nowadays, the imperial court has a good relationship with the Hu people outside the Guan, and the merchants can rest assured that they can trade boldly in the past, and now the number of live cattle and sheep every year, or the frozen beef and mutton in winter is not reduced, and a large number of new meat jerky and dried milk have been added, and the number of fur imports has also increased greatly.
In the end, these things are still in the hands of the people, so that the people can dress warmer and eat better.
Of course, the emperor who led these did not make any less.
Just like the Champa rice in Lingnan, especially in Guangnan, it can be harvested three times a year, and the yield is high, but the taste is not very good, and the local production is surplus, and it is sold to other places, and the transportation cost is quite high, so the grain there is cheap to death, and the people's enthusiasm for planting rice is not high.
The Inner Service Province transported Champa rice to the north and combined it with sheep outside the Guanxi to make a popular lamb wine, which not only attracted a lot of sheep and Champa rice outside the Guan, but also made the price of the two things increase greatly after the combination, and the income was very high.
The imperial court also earned a large amount of liquor taxes.
It's a win-win situation.
"Sage, the minister has something to do, and the queen of the Japanese sent a letter to ask for sin, but this time they offered to offer to sacrifice the Besko copper mine on Iyo Island to the sage as reparation." Wei Zheng smiled and said something else.
