Chapter 960: Wine hurts the most

Living between the two great powers, the Western Xia Kingdom, the lord Li Qianshun was ambitious, always wanted to expand the territory, so that the country was among the powerful countries, how could it be that its land area was small, the population was only more than two million, and the foundation was insufficient, so he could only survive in the cracks.

As for Goryeo, the island countries and other island countries, they have all been attached to the Chinese Empire, and although the overall strength of the Tibetan tribes is very strong, each tribe is fighting its own war, and any tribe is attacked by the Western Xia army, it is a disaster to exterminate the tribe and remove the name.

There are many nobles and monks of the Tibetan tribes in Tibet who can see the general trend of the day, but many of them are unwilling to admit that it is the general trend to submit to the empire.

Now seeing that the emperor was preparing to leave, the Sakya Dharma King could no longer care about his face, and hurriedly asked to meet with Li Nan again to discuss the affairs of the Tibetan and Tibetan tribes.

What is called a smart person is to make a quick and decisive choice between having nothing and being able to have some benefits.

His Holiness was a wise man with foresight and determination, and in the end he accepted the terms offered by Li Nan, renounced his secular rights, and on behalf of the entire Sakya sect and the Kun family, he immediately began to cooperate with the empire in carrying out pre-dispatch propaganda, trumpeting the benefits of the empire.

The Jurchens liked to drink, and there are many records in historical books.

For example, the "Three Dynasties and Northern Alliances" records the Jurchens' food customs of entertaining guests with wine and indulging in alcohol, "Drinking and feasting guests, bringing relatives and friends to come." and the homes of the near, not all are called. The guests sit and eat, and the host waits for them. At the end of the meal, the guests invited the host to sit down. There is no calculation of alcohol, drunkenness and escape. ”

There are also many specific facts of large-scale banquets and drinking among the Jurchens in the "History of Jin", and there are many records of alcoholism, alcoholism, and drunkenness. The earliest record of Jurchen drinking in the Liaojin period can be traced back to the Wugunai period of Jin Jingzu before the establishment of the Jin state.

If you want to make wine in this era, you need a lot of grain, because of the backwardness of technology, so it has not reached the point where three catties of grain produce one catty of wine in later generations.

The Jurchens were originally a fishing and hunting people, and hunting was the main means of livelihood for this people, and after the destruction of the Liao State, they had a stable source of food.

The original Liao people died after several wars, and those who fled, the number of people dropped sharply, and the grain output became lower and lower.

During the reign of Jin Taizong, for fear of losing domestic grain, he once ordered a ban on folk winemaking, but such an edict was not taken seriously by the Jurchen nobles who occupied a large area of land.

When it comes to wine, Chinese people have the most right to speak, because this is the hometown of wine, the birthplace of wine culture, and one of the earliest countries in the world to make wine.

The brewing of liquor, since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, has a long history in China. In the thousands of years of Chinese civilization history, the development of wine and culture has basically gone hand in hand.

So far, all countries have brewed fermented wine, with a maximum degree of less than 20 degrees, and most of them are rice wine below 10 degrees, which is filtered after fermentation; Therefore, there are poems such as "Li Baidou (10 liters) wine poems" and "green ant new wine".

It is recorded in the "Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicle": one brew uses coarse rice and two Hu, and one Hu is curd, and it becomes six Hu and six buckets of wine. In fact, the wine made from tillers is called "liquor", which is a sweet wine, and the alcohol content is very low, so the ancients said that "the friend of the villain is sweet", and the wine made with koji is the real wine, and the alcohol is heavier, about 10% to 18%.

And just recently, Jin Taizong Wan Yan Sheng died of illness, although the Chinese Empire and the Jin State are actually enemy countries, but the etiquette should still be indispensable, the imperial envoys came to the Jin Kingdom with a large number of gifts, including a thousand jars of wine.

Originally, the people of the Jin Kingdom didn't take these wines seriously, but when they tasted this kind of wine from the empire, they immediately felt that all they had drunk before was sugar water.

Whether it is the Khitan people of the original Liao State or the Jurchens of the Jin State now, because their ancestors have lived in the northern region for generations, because of the cold climate and harsh environment, one of the purposes of their drinking is to keep warm, which also makes this spicy and bitter high wine produced by the empire quickly conquer these people.

After the distilled high-grade liquor entered the Jin Kingdom, it quickly became the most popular liquor, and the Jin people, who could not make this liquor, could only rely on trade with the empire to obtain this goods.

The two countries have now signed an armistice, so there are three places in Zhongdu, Ulju and Datong Province.

Sooner or later, the Jin Kingdom and the Empire, which will go to war, naturally do not sell some strategic materials as goods, so generally speaking, there are not many types of goods in these three fields.

Since the advent of highly distilled liquor, it has quickly become popular throughout the Jin country, and the merchants of the Jin country in the field naturally began to buy this liquor.

The merchants of the empire were very cooperative in transporting this high-grade liquor to the Rongchang and sending a large amount of fine wine to the Jin Kingdom at a relatively low price.

Wine can be said to have all kinds of harm but no benefit, but people in the world like that kind of drunken state, and they like the effect that it can make you forget your troubles for a while.

Jin Xizong, the newly enthroned emperor of the Jin Kingdom, is young, but he has a lot of troubles, and the few Yanqing heroes who supported his succession in the court are nominally to help him manage domestic affairs, but in fact he is empty, so this little emperor can only relieve his worries with wine.

As a Jurchen who is a good drinker, such a thing as Wanyan drinking and having fun without restraint is very common and no one cares about it at all.

Wanyan Zonghan and others, who controlled the power of the court, preferred to see this situation, so they also deliberately bought more fine wine from the empire to find more beauties for Jin Xizong, so that he could enjoy himself wantonly.

Uncontrolled excessive drinking is not a good thing, it is called alcoholism in later generations, in addition to harming various organs of the human body, it will also cause great damage to the head and nerves, especially when Jin Xizong is still a minor, alcoholism will hurt him even more.

It is said that after Jin Xizong got drunk, he often did some incomprehensible things, and things that hurt people and killed people gradually appeared, but no one paid attention to such trivial things as the emperor of a country killing several slaves.

Wanyan Zonghan and other founding heroes controlled the government, Jin Xizong Wanyan was powerless to resist, and could only be a puppet drunk and dreaming of death, but his queen Pei Manshi had a pungent personality, and she didn't want the husband and wife to live aggrieved like this.

This queen Pei Manshi married Wan Yan early, and this woman is not small.

Pei Man's great-grandfather was Wan Yan Gao, the fifth son of Jin Shizu Wan Yan Impeachment, and the younger brother of Jin Taizu and Jin Taizong.

Wan Yan Gao once served as the country of Jin on Hao Bo Ji Lie, the State on Hu Lu Bo Ji Lie, and the Emperor Taizong's younger brother Tan Ban Bo Ji Lie, that is, he died early, otherwise according to the Jurchen inheritance tradition, he is also the heir to the throne at the top of the sequence.

Not only that, but even when the Jin State and the Song State went to war, this Wan Yan Gao was also the nominal commander-in-chief of the Jin State during the Song Dynasty, and he sent his nephew Wan Yan Zongwang and his cousin Wan Yan Zonghan to besiege Tokyo City, and kidnapped Zhao Huan and others of Qinzong, which can be called the boss of the Jurchen military.

Although Pei Man's grandfather died, his grandfather Husha and his father Kuda were still alive, both of whom were ministers of the Jin State and controlled the military power of their own tribe.
