Chapter 438: The Day of Great Joy
Chinese people have always believed in the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the marriage of the king is a happy event for the people, and a good day should be chosen. Lu Qian's wedding is naturally like this. The grandson of the dragon won the horse, and there was nothing bad about it.
This kind of thing avoids evil and prays for peace, and folk customs cannot simply be attributed to feudal superstition. In Lu Qian's view, this is more of a culture. Although it is said to the younger generation in later generations, it is indeed cumbersome.
The happy day has not yet arrived, and in Yidu City, the streets and alleys are already full of Luoqi, with colorful lights and flowers, so lively.
The haze auspicious clouds are enveloped in the purple pavilion, and the building is covered by the Rongrui gas. That's what I'm talking about.
Fang Tianding came to Yidu for the first time, and since he said goodbye to the year, he was in a panic, but he was already a person. He Fang Tianding is no longer just the son of Fang La, but also the prince of the southern kingdom, and he was named the king of Nan'an.
Fang La, a 'holy duke', named his son as the king, and this "holy duke" is really powerful.
More than a year later, the relationship between the north and the south is still close. For example, at present, Liangshan continues to import iron and leather from the two routes of the open sea and inland rivers to the Fang La army. In exchange for silk grain and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.
Who said that although the land south of the Yangtze River is rich, there is a lack of iron and iron in its territory. The iron ore in the south of the river is more distributed in Lingnan, that is, in Guangdong. It only produced more than 50,000 catties of iron in the Song Dynasty, and by the time of Zhezong, the iron class was close to 3 million catties. That is to say, the amount of iron produced on the surface of Nanguang alone is nearly 15 million catties. Then there is Fujian Road, then Jinghu, and the last is Jiangnan West Road.
In this case, there is an innate complementarity between the two sides.
Lu Qian controlled two of the four major iron prisons of the Northern Song Dynasty, and traded with the Jurchens of Liao, iron and leather were naturally rich, while the south controlled the south of the Yangtze River, and the silk and rice grains were abundant, and because of the sea trade cut off, its only export now is only Lu Qi.
And Lu Qian bartered and collected silk, grain and rice from the south, one of which was used to support the army and the other to support the people.
Since the autumn harvest, when the temperature turns colder, the land of Qilu will use grain, rice and silk silk as a lure to mobilize the enthusiasm of the peasants, repair roads, and dig canals. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji was sluggish, and many of his officials did nothing. Even if the Liangshan army repaired the roads and river embankments with prisoners, how could the huge Qilu be easily completed?
And in a county, the road is put aside first, and the matter of water canals is also the top priority. Ordinary people can not walk, but they cannot go without eating.
Look at how many acres of land are in the land of Qilu, how much water is in it, and how much dry land is there? The latter can only eat every year by looking at God's face.
And if the canal is built, it will be a different look.
Waterwheels, overturns, windmills, and more are means of drawing water.
But the people are disorganized and clueless, and together they are a powerful force, but without a clear guidance. It's a mess.
Lu Qian used silk grain and rice as a lure to guide his generation to work hard.
Because the Song Dynasty was not as good as the Han and Tang Dynasties, the servants at that time did not give food, and the forced labor was heavy, which was a great pressure on the people. And Zhao Kuangyin rebelled against the ancient system of not giving food to the husband, and set up the husband grain system of "one husband gives two liters of rice a day". Since then, the law of husband and wife employment has been the ancestral law of Zhao and Song.
Zhao Da can give it up, why can't Lu Qian? Then set the amount of labor for the old, weak and strong, punish less work, reward more work, and work hard for the people who can be tempted by silk, grain and rice.
And Lu Qian demanded that 'local trade-offs' be made, and the people should be asked to work locally as much as possible, rather than the peasants in Yizhou being transferred to Xiu Huanghe.
In this way, the north and south sides can take what they need. Fang La's armor and leather are used to strengthen the army, and the Liangshan army has silk, money, and grain, which can support the army and the people.
Although there is a lot of slander in Shandong Shilin, they think that Lu Qian governs the people, blindly drives them to profit, and is strict with art, and has no moral education. But a group of powerless scum can't be stirred up by public opinion, so they can only be used to make noise. And it must also be someone with longer ears like Lu Qian.
Fang Tianding and Gao Yu entered the city first, and did not go to the empty shell-like Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites, but walked in Yidu City first, and went to see and appreciate. Turning the city gate, I saw the wine shop and tea shop, countless people, people in brocade clothes and hats, one after another.
The city also deliberately demarcated a gallop road for carriages and horses to walk, still one left and one right, a horse team is walking on it, and all the healthy horses are burdened.
Yidu is located on land, and there is no river to cross, so you can't see the arch bridges in Hangzhou, and you can't see the boats. All you can see are the horses and carts.
The city is much more lively than Hangzhou City, the hotel teahouses are lined up one after another, there are countless shops of all kinds, and all kinds of cars, sedans, mules and horses are busy. There is an oil shop on the left hand, the customers in front of the door are bustling, there are many customers inside, the sales situation is very good, and there are cars and horses to and fro. Seeing the word "whale" hanging on the store's banner, Fang Tianding knew that this was whale oil.
He also got it in Jiangnan, and there were a batch of fine candles, all of which came from whales. When I first heard about it, I once felt that Liang Shanjun was so bold and reckless that he took the initiative to provoke such a behemoth at sea. I heard that there were many people who capsized and fell into the sea during the period, but the hunting trip still did not stop.
With Fang Tianding's knowledge, how do you know how much benefit a whale can contribute? But if you eat well, even if you stop teaching, you will probably have resentment.
"It's so prosperous. I don't know when Hangzhou will have a grand scene elsewhere. This is still before the Manichaean army denied the "holy treasury", so that the city of Hangzhou did not completely lose the economy. However, the Manichaean invasion of Hangzhou was too ferocious, so that the rich merchants and magnates in the market were exterminated, and the official eunuchs were eradicated.
In this way, the two of them only walked around the city until dusk, and then went to meet their relatives outside the south gate, and the little whirlwind Chai Jin had been waiting there for a long time.
After urging makeup, sending makeup, and laying the house, Lu Qian's wedding day finally arrived.
Early in the morning, Lu Qian, who was dressed in red, took a jade chariot to greet him.
Welcoming is one of the six ancient rites. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the crown prince's wedding was not welcomed, but after the Tang Dynasty, the crown prince began to welcome, and the prince's wedding would follow the six ceremonies.
Rituals such as urging makeup, giving makeup, and making a room are all etiquette that evolved from the Song Dynasty, and Lu Qian also accepted it. According to the etiquette at this time, three days before the greeting, the male family sent the makeup flower bun, gold hijab, flower fan and other things to the woman's house, and the female family agreed to win the royal gold and silver, Luo Huapu head, green robe, boots and other things. And a few days before the wedding, send someone to deliver the dowry to the man's house. The same is true of the bunk house, and the day before the wedding, the woman sends someone to the new house to lay the curtains, bedding, and other utensils in the house, and prepares gifts to warm the house. Then they guarded the house with a woman of their cronies or from a bride-maid, and no outsiders were allowed to enter, so that the newlyweds could be treated. The shopkeeper must be a "good wife" with good fortune and longevity and a wealthy family in order to be auspicious. Even in later generations, this custom was still popular in some places. Although here in Lu Qian, this can't be. Coke and his people can't check the dowry openly, they have to carry the people of the southern country, and the latter also knows it.
The man was dressed in red and came out to 'swagger through the market', but Lu Qian had developed a cheeky face, and he was really a little ashamed in his heart.
Therefore, it is better for a man to get married in the Qin and Han dynasties, he is dressed in black, he still welcomes his relatives at dusk, and when he gets home and drinks the wedding wine, he can enter the cave room. There are no complicated things such as the complicated hijab and the haunted cave room in later generations.
But this rule has long changed, Li Tang has become a morning greeting, and it is also a classic color scheme of male green and female red. In this way, a red suit in the Song Dynasty is stronger than a big green.
The firecrackers "crackled" and shook the sky. In the sound of firecrackers, real firecrackers, joyful music, and red luan sedan chairs slowly walked towards the Qi Wangfu in a boiling and celebratory atmosphere. Since today, this palace has finally had a real hostess.
Fang Jinzhi, who was wearing a wedding dress and a big red hijab on his head, looked shy, with expectations, and a little nervous. The person he married is an extraordinary person, but a hero who disturbs the world.
Just looking at the achievements, even the father who has the backing of Manichaeism's century-old business is far inferior.
Moreover, the Liangshan army is sharp and daring to fight, and the king of Qi has a long-term vision and ambition, and he doesn't know how many times he has heard it from his brothers.
Not to mention the future of the north and the south, if the Zhao family really overturns, I am afraid that there will be a big war between the north and the south in the future. Fang Jinzhi holds a treasure vase, which is a token of Manichaeism for many years. This means that one is peace, and the other is peace.
Although she is a weak woman, she bears heavy responsibilities.
And the biggest reason for this is that the Manichaeans have no confidence in the defeat of the Liangshan army. And they are already satisfied with this southern land.
Before the vase in his hand was hot, it was replaced with a piece of red silk. Although he couldn't see it, Fang Jinzhi knew that the end of the red silk was Lu Qian. Since then, the fate of the two has been tied together, but unfortunately the internal affairs are complicated, but it is difficult to say that they will share honor and disgrace, life and death.
His eyes were hot, and tears were dripping down, but he held back again.
Before she could clean up her mood, the voice of the salute had already sounded. This is not a folk worship of heaven and earth, but a union with the prison. During the period, the etiquette process was followed, and the two sides had already made a decision, and Fang Jinzhi also knew it by heart.
Again, enter the inner chamber and stand in the middle of the court, on the north side. Take the jade treasure in the palm of your hand, south-facing. That is, she was canonized as a queen and took the queen's seal. ascended to the throne, took over the palace officials, and the four ladies also came, all descended to the court, re-marched to the north, and made a big salute. If so, lower the seat and enter the inner room. Wash and eat. Her business was over.
And Lu Qian's place, naturally, drank again and again, such a good day, wouldn't it be refreshing not to drink it?
And the reason why Liangshan Army is so rooted is that Lu Qian is congenitally called in the eyes of a military general, with less majesty and more family affection. Just like the Ruan brothers, such as Li Kui and Liu Tang, then dare to take the opportunity to ruthlessly irrigate Lu Qian. Could it be that Lu Qian could still pretend to be majestic to deter them?
"That black guy is so vulgar, and the king is too indulgent to him." Wen Huanzhang frowned and said.
With the establishment of the Qi State and the improvement of various rules and regulations, the people of the old days were somewhat divided. Lin Chong is one, and Wen Huanzhang is also one. It's just that Lin Chong is more important to his heart, and on the bright side, Lu Qian privately calls him a brother, and he can be at ease; However, Wen Huanzhang returned more to the traditional scholars and doctors.
Zhao Mingcheng smiled in his heart when he heard this, this Wen Huanzhang felt more and more like his deceased father.
"Right phase and stop. Today is the day of great joy of the king. Zhao Mingcheng couldn't help but say, today he is a singing official.
Wen Huanzhang's brows furrowed, "Defu is also a person who reads poetry and books, why do you say such a fallacy?" Don't you hear the word "Gangchang". ”
Zhao Mingcheng was annoyed when he landed, could it be that he didn't know the outline? "Go to Hugh, go Hugh." Such people are born to be disliked. So what's wrong with the king being like this? Don't you hear that when the fake is true, the truth is also false, and the word 'love and righteousness' has been carried for a long time, but it will ride on the back of the tiger, and it will be rare. But isn't this also a great deal for the civil and military ministers below?
Don't you hear that Fan Zhongyan's Sacred Heart understands the meaning of the law?
How is Li Kui vulgar? In the eyes of the king, this custody is true temperament. He Zhao Mingcheng didn't have that affection, otherwise he would have gone to get drunk with the king.
