In August of the second year of Jiayou, Song Renzong ordered a ban on the opening of the Heshi market in the border area of Shaanxi, and redetermined the checkpoints and outposts for inspection. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The privy envoy Han Qi suggested that the imperial court stop selling the property of the households in various places, recruit peasant tenants, and use the annual summer tax paid by the peasant households to provide for the old, infirm or unsupported orphans in the city, and the government set up special warehouses to store the tax income of the households' landless properties, which are called Guanghui warehouses.

At the end of each year, the income and expenses of Guanghuicang should be reported to the three divisions, and it was stipulated that 10,000 stone should be kept in areas with more than 100,000 households, 8,000 stone for more than 70,000 households, 6,000 stone for more than 50,000 households, 4,000 stone for more than 3,000 households, 3,000 stone for more than 20,000 households, 1,000 stone for more than 10,000 households, and 1,000 stone for areas with less than 10,000 households.

In November, the Song Dynasty issued a ban on private markets in the eastern part of the Song-Xia region, and strictly forbade any Western Xia people who drove horses and cattle to the Song-Xia border areas to exchange grain and other goods. At that time, some Western Xia people continued to go to the Song-Xia border for private trade, and after being caught by the Song Dynasty soldiers, they immediately ordered to be beheaded for public display, and from then on, the people of the Song and Xia sides did not dare to conduct private trade again.

After Su Lin learned the news, she entered the palace to find Zhao Zhen.

"Father, don't you have any ideas about killing the merchants who go to the border?"

When Zhao Zhen heard Su Lin's question, he put down the fold in his hand and looked up at Su Lin.

"The Western Xia Kingdom provoked our country for no reason and invaded our territory, I just killed a few Western Xia merchants, what else do you say?"

Su Lin was also a little helpless when she heard this, a weak country has no diplomacy, and now although the imperial court is in a bad situation, the army is not strong, and it will still be bullied. Only those with big fists have the right to speak, and this has been the case since ancient times.

"Father, the two countries are at war, that is the business of the superiors, and it has nothing to do with the people. The imperial army is not strong, a large part of the reason is because of the lack of war horses, the land of Western Xia is vast and vast, very suitable for raising horses, if you make good use of it, our army's war horses can be replenished, if you completely cut off contacts, then with the ability of our country alone, I am afraid you will not be able to get enough war horses. ”

After Su Lin finished speaking, Zhao Zhen pondered for a long time.

"What Lin'er said, I also understand that the border people have been abused, and the court has lost the war, so there is no way to make this decision. The court also had no choice, for the safety of the people, it had to be like this. ”

Su Lin listened to Zhao Zhen's words, and really wanted to lead an army to fight with Western Xia. However, she is now a woman, and the court will not allow her to lead troops at all, so Su Lin can only slowly figure it out.

"Father, why don't you let Lin'er go to the border, I can disguise myself as a merchant and sell horses for the imperial court, if there is any movement in Western Xia, I can also take some action."

Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard this.

"Lin'er, you said you were going to the border?"

Su Lin nodded.

"You have a daughter's house, go to that cold place on the border, if there is anything wrong, you let me ......"

"Father doesn't have to worry, Lin'er doesn't care, Lin'er went south and north with her master when she was a child, and she has suffered everything, and for the country and the people, although Lin'er is a woman, it is also incumbent on her, so my father will let Lin'er go......"

"This, okay, but now it's about to start the year, wait for New Year's Day, the weather is warmer, you set off again, you must accompany your father and your queen mother more during this time, it's really difficult for you."

Su Lin agreed to Zhao Zhen's arrangement, and when she returned to the house, Su Lin also ushered in her seventh year in the Great Song Dynasty.

It's another year of the New Year, the palace gives silver flags, the New Year worships to the third day of the new year, and the silver flags in the Ouchi give hundreds of officials. The two sleeves are full of fragrance, and the hat ornament attracts laughter.

The "New Year's Day" of this period is equivalent to the current Spring Festival, when the "holiday office" of the imperial court issued a notice to give "office workers" a seven-day holiday. At that time, New Year's Day was the first day of the first lunar month, and this day was called New Year's Day, also known as Yuan Day, New Year's Day, Yuan Zheng, Year Dynasty, New Year's Day, etc.

The official and private state uses the winter solstice, Yuanzheng (New Year's Day), and cold food...... For the big festival, seven days off. On New Year's Day, in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, a large-scale court meeting was held in the court, and the emperor was congratulated by hundreds of officials.

Tokyo Bianliang, the Great Liao ambassador crowns the golden crown, the tip of the back eaves is long, such as a large lotus leaf, a purple narrow robe, and a golden robe; The deputy envoy is wrapped in a gold belt, such as a Hanfu. The ambassador bows with his left foot, kneels with his right foot, and bows with both hands on his right shoulder. The deputy envoy worships Hanyi.

The Hui are all long bearded and high-nosed, wrapped around their heads with silk, and scattered in their clothes. In Khotan, they all wore small golden felt hats, golden silk robes, and belts, and their wives and men came together, riding camels, and paying tribute with felt and bronze dolls. Among them, the Liao envoys are finished, and the next day they will go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense, and the next day they will shoot arrows in the South Imperial Garden, and the court will choose to shoot good martial arts to accompany them. Accompanied by the victory, Jingshi Jinger blocked the road and offered slogans, and the audience was blocked.

In the early morning of New Year's Day, every household in the capital should get up early, freshen up, put on new clothes, visit relatives and friends, bless each other, and celebrate each other with wine. Starting on New Year's Day, the government allowed people to participate in the game for three days.

The so-called "Guan Pounce" is a game with a gambling nature, the two parties involved in the game agree on the price, throw copper coins in the clay pot or on the ground, and determine the winner or loser according to the amount of the subtitle of the money, the winner can fold the money to take the items that are pounced, and the loser has to pay. Guan Pu can gamble very much, and cars, horses, houses, singers, and dancing girls can all be used as gambling funds.

"Guan Pu" was concise and clear, and it was very popular among the people at that time. However, only on a big festival like New Year's Day, the government allows the "Guan Pu" to be opened, and it is generally gambled on food, daily utensils, fruits, charcoal, etc. On the night of New Year's Day, the women of wealthy families either enter the restaurant to watch the gambling or enter the store to drink and feast, "Tokyo Menghualu" said that this kind of thing is "habitual and unsmiling".

On this day, Su Lin also went out of the mansion and prepared to go out for a walk. Many bustling streets in the capital have to build colorful sheds, placing hats, combs, pearls, jewelry, clothing, flowers, collar wipes, boots and shoes, toys and other goods, as well as dance halls and song halls, cars and horses, endlessly.

At the same time, there were many dietary customs at that time, for example, most families had to eat vegetarian cakes. Su Lin, on the other hand, plans to buy some ingredients and prepare to go back to make dumplings.

Su Lin stayed in Su's house for six years, Xiaoqing already knew what Su Lin meant, and made some dumplings with Su Lin, and then Su Lin took them into the palace, first accompanied Zhao Zhen and Queen Cao for a meal, and then went home to reunite with his family.

The atmosphere in the palace, Su Lin didn't like it. Su Xun's family was invited to the house by Su Lin, and only when she saw them did Su Lin feel at home.
