Song Shi Mingyue Chapter 4373 of the fourth part of the madness against the sky let the common people enjoy the dividends of conquest

Xing exists. There is a little difference in the original time and space. In the original Song Dynasty, the people could also enjoy all this. But they got it all through trade. In modern times, this is called "economic conquest". And the appearance of Zhao Xing made the conquest of the outside. It is also wrapped in a cloak of conquest by force.

The ancients did not have the concept of economic conquest. Therefore, later readers of the Ming and Qing dynasties called the economic conquest of the Song people "weak Song". But Zhao Xing's existence is in line with their usual worldview: stop fighting for martial arts.

"Shuowen Jie Zi" says that this "stop" means toe. Therefore, the original meaning of the phrase "stop fighting for force" is that the foundation of the state is built on the armed forces. Only conquest by force is the right way.

Zhang Yi explained there. Arab slaves rest for a while. I started talking about a piece of music again. It's a sacred music. That is, hymns often played in Catholic churches. When the organ sound sounds. Anstar had come to the door. Other than that. Some of the Israelites who worked in the citadel also stayed by the door. With tears in my eyes, I listened to the organ playing.

The eunuch did not sing. The performance was clearly not intended by the Arabs. The maid who played was a Persian Zoroastrian. At this time, Zoroastrians did not have clear religious barriers. So I was instructed by Zhao Xing to practice this Christmas music.

Today is the winter solstice. The "Winter Solstice Festival" is a major festival of the imperial court established since the Han Dynasty in China. Meanwhile. In the case of poor information flow in ancient times. Ancestors scattered all over the world. are all celebrating the winter solstice. And according to later research. Jesus Christ was not necessarily born at Christmas. Just after the rise of Christianity. It took advantage of the European custom of celebrating the Winter Solstice Festival. The day was named "Christmas".

The Israelites were no more than Christmas. Because Jesus was betrayed by Jewish sacrifices. But this Christmas song is full of Jerusalem's regional colors. It was also touched by the people who lived in the Song Dynasty.

Now. The customs of the people of Yiqi Joy have changed because of Zhao Xing. Originally, they had been isolated from the world for thousands of years. The news about his hometown is vague. It was Zhao Xing who restored contact with the Holy Land. The newcomers from the Holy Land not only brought them news of their homeland that had been isolated for many years. I also brought some folk songs. So. When this Jewish-style song sounds. The Jews who passed by were immediately knocked down by the music. They hobbled against the wall to the door of the banquet hall. Listen to hymns full of divine sound with tears.

As soon as the music ended. Ansda couldn't wait to say the prayer aloud: "Praise my lord." Glory to the Lord. We are thankful for your glory and let us pray: though I cannot change my countenance. Can show a smile; I can't influence the weather. can change the mood; I can't predict tomorrow. It is possible to grasp today; I can't do everything. You can do your best...... Because we know that God only helps those who help Himself! ”

These words were very much to the taste of the students. These students are young and vigorous. Although many of them are poor. Be a recipient. But they firmly believed. They're funded. It's because they're good. Now. The Nestorian Patriarch Anda was not because of their poverty. They are not discriminated against because they are funded. Instead, they prayed that they could change their fate through their own efforts, at least change their lives in front of them......

Therefore. Wait for Annstar to finish praying. Even those students who did not believe in Nestorian religion nodded slightly. One of the students whispered, "If there really is such a god." If there really is such a paradise. I hope after I die. You can also enter such a paradise. Joy in peace. ”

Ansida clapped his hands: "Okay." Students. The time below is the read time. Taiwei has a lot of books here. Don't miss it. Let's get out of the entertainment here. Let the Captain continue to talk about business. ”

The students obediently reluctantly said goodbye. As soon as these people left. Mei Sanniang flashed out of the screen. The prepared fish trays were served.

Meantime. There was a creaking sound behind the screen on the right. With this sound. A scent of aroma wafted through the nose. Hou Meng looked at it. A woman was found cooking fish on a small alcohol stove behind a screen.

It was the fish that was served. The flesh of this fish is curled and coiled in slices. The whole fish body is like a blooming chrysanthemum. The head is still alive. Mouths one by one. Seems to be struggling to breathe.

Hou Meng salivated and raised his chopsticks. said with emotion: "Po Xian once said: After Sanniang leaves. There is no capital in the capital. Leave people. That's all I'm going to say. Your penchant for collecting good stuff is terrifying. Liao: That's the case. It's like that. Even Mei Sanniang was collected in the house. It's so inauthentic. ”

Shuai Fan sandwiched a chopsticks of fish meat. Carefully dipped in mustard and spices. Then put the trolls in your mouth. Close your eyes and enjoy. Zhao Xing's side. I glanced at the autumn day with a sigh of interest. On the other hand, he kept making fish sauce for Zhao Xing. On the one hand, he was humble: "Hou Zhizhou has won the award." How can the little woman be compared to everyone in Liao. ”

Hou Meng finished eating the fish tart. Feel the tenderness of the fish that melts in your mouth. Then he widened his eyes and said, "Speaking of which." On the same day, he was in Yangzhou City. Miss Song only performed one zhangqing. But he didn't finish the point. Why did he run into Zhao's house. Even my local magistrate doesn't know how you communicate. ”

Hou Meng said Diandan. It was a custom in the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, there were many female actors who would perform a single danqing. Of course. The most outstanding of them is Song Xinxin. The so-called "one zhang danqing". It was Song Xinxin who drew a picture. This is "a piece of green".

Guests are invited to stay overnight. He presented the painting to a person. Guests are asked to render the colors on the dragon eye. This is called "eye-catching". Or "Diandan".

Until the guest finishes the finishing touch. This is the complete "one zhang danqing". Otherwise, it can only be "a piece of green".

Song Xinxin was slightly shy. She glared at Hou Meng with disgust. Attacking instead of defending: "Lord Hou went to the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. I don't know which leader I've been obsessed with lately? ”

Hou Meng let out a sigh of relief. The topic finally turned back to the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. He said in a relaxed tone: "Mizhou scenery." Which is better than Yangzhou Hangzhou...... Messire. This ordnance thing. What else to say? ”

Xing nodded: "The ordnance matter." We have already finished discussing: 300 "Xuanhe-style fast guns". I don't have anything else. However, there is no limit to the number of fast guns. As long as you procure gunboats. Seven guns must have been installed on the ship. ”

Shuai Fan added: "You can buy old rifles. There is no limit to the quantity. ”

Hou Meng pondered for a moment. Reluctantly nodded: "That's it!" It's just that 300 strokes is not enough. Can I list General Koishi separately? He may have another way. I can get extra rations from you. ”

Shuai Fan replied: "He got fifty strokes himself." But. Xiaoshi, the kid, also thinks that this is enough. Grab this thing, it's a beast eater. A soldier has to shoot at least two thousand rounds. in order to train the feeling of shooting. Copper bullets are worth a lot of money. It is estimated that he is also worried about the cost of ammunition. So I'm only going to take fifty strokes. ”

Hou Meng immediately put the topic aside. Concentrate on enjoying the fish tart.

Soon. The eel was also served. This is a dish served according to the "food sharing system" in the Song Dynasty. According to etiquette, let Zhao Xing evaluate first. Eat under this system. It's very similar to modern Japanese cuisine: a whole eel serves three plates. The plates are huge. There are few dishes. Place a small pinch of eel segments in the center of each plate. It is garnished with a little fruit spice on the side.

When the fish is served. Mei Sanniang, who was supposed to retire, came up and thanked her: "Thank you Lord Hou for your compliment." It's just that "the capital has no money" is not worth worrying. The slave family is afraid that there is nothing in the world. ”

Hou Mengshang did not answer. Shuai Fan interjected first: "What." Xiao Feng, that kid doesn't allow you to open a store? ”

Mei Sanniang bowed in front of Zhao Xing: "Xianggong." Dalang. The five generations of the slave family passed on Mei Sanniang's skills. Since the slave family got married. The title of "Mei Sanniang" was extinct because of the slave family. The slave family was ashamed of their ancestors. Please also take a look at it. Persuade the husband of the family. ”

Mei Sanniang's husband Xiao Feng has the status of Zhao Xing's slave. But Mei Sanniang begged Zhao Xing not to kneel. This is not because of disrespect for Zhao Xing. Rather, the Song Dynasty was the only "standing dynasty" in Chinese history.

From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. Because the Han people changed the custom of sitting on the ground. Cause a change in etiquette. It is generally a bow. With a fork hand and a chant. The volume of "Shilin Guangji" has the etiquette of "Fork Technique" and "Gifa".

In the Song Dynasty, there is also a joke recorded in the volume 5 of "Yijian Zhiding" and "Li Jinren's Sample". Said that Li was the county order. Visit Cizhou State. "Chushang. Take a bow. Loud and slammed. Guarded by surprise. to retreat for it". That is, the cross-handed salute is always too loud. frightened Shangguan.

After being reminded. Lee: "Tomorrow will be again. But bow your head and bow down. and not (dare) to speak out". Zhizhou was "furious" again.

Lee was furious, too. Immediately ask Zhizhou in the form of an official document. He said, "You can't come high." Low is impossible. The beggar descended to the same one. to be carried out in accordance with the obedience. "When I salute, you feel your voice be too high. Even if it's low, it's not successful. That's fine. You sing me a model for me. I play by your standards.

This move became an official joke at the time.

And the third fold of "Cui Yingying Listening to the Piano at Night" is also recorded. Zhang Heng saw the matchmaker. Called "Worship Little Lady". The matchmaker sang, "I saw him forked his hands and hurriedly greeted him." I'm here "Hail Blessed." Mr! "It shows that the Song people at that time. Even servants and masters do not have to bow down to each other.

However, the Khitans, the party members, the Jurchens, and the Mongols had different meeting gifts. "Jin History" volume 35 "Rite Chronicles" says: "The worship system of gold. Stand by for now. Lean over slightly. Slightly more and more. Kneel on your left knee. Shake your elbows from side to side. If dancing. Where to kneel. Shake. Lower flick your knees. Upper to the left and right shoulders. Fan IV. And so he knelt on four knees. Then press your hand on your right knee. Bow on one left knee. But there are accounts of kneeling on the right knee. Squat on your left knee. The left and right knees are in the opposite position. The Mongols originally knelt on their left knee. Later, it was changed to kneeling.

As for how kneeling later became a "Chinese tradition". Wen Tianxiang has a record. The Complete Works of Mr. Wenshan, volume 7, records that he himself was captured in the capital of Yuan. Prime Minister Boluo summoned him. Wen Tianxiang "long". The general (translator) ordered him to "kneel." Wen Tianxiang said: "Nanzhiyi. That is, the kneeling of the north. Wunan people. The south salute is finished. Can you kneel down? ”

Wen Tianxiang said this to the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty. To describe these words in the simplest words: Song people do not kneel.

According to his old man's meaning. Even if the Song people met the emperor. There is also no habit of kneeling (at least rarely prostrate). And it depicts the Song people kneeling. That must be a person who traveled through the Ming and Qing dynasties. They mistakenly moved the habits of the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Song Dynasty.

Wen Tianxiang's statement is recorded in the "Yuan History". It shows that the Mongols recognized Wen Tianxiang's statement. It is reflected in the dramas written by the Yuan Dynasty that reflect the life of the Song people. This also proves. Depicting the Song people kneeling. It can never be a person from the Yuan Dynasty.

Xing put down his chopsticks. Ask: "How?" Not long ago, I heard from Inspector Shuai

|Intended to open a store in Hangzhou. In order to inherit the reputation of Mei Sanniang. How. Xiao Fengna||Allow? ”

Mei Sanniang said again: "Da Lang said that he is an official now." Slaves are not allowed to show their heads. The slave family repeatedly persuaded him. Da Lang is still stubborn. Please be the master and slave, but the original matchmaker is the husband. You can't just leave it alone. ”

The two brothers Xiao Daxiao are now in charge of the security of Zhaoxing Manor. also hung up the official position of the head of the horse army in Hangzhou. His subordinates commanded a hundred cavalry. This is the official body that Xiao Feng said in his mouth.

Hou Meng fanned the flames, intentionally or unintentionally. He said idly: "There is no such thing as a big crime in the world." ”

Xing smiled: "The Xiao family brothers' big-eyed officials." Dare to say that the official body?! You go back and tell him. Several wives and concubines in my family still show up to take care of the housework. This is the Great Song. Let him talk less about Liaoguo. It is necessary to have the consciousness of a Song official. ”

Now. Even Qian Wan'er, the girl who made the eel, jumped out to thank Zhao Xing: "The slave sisters must tell Xiao Daxiao Er that they are not convinced." Let them come to the captain to beg for a beating. ”

Wait for Mei Sanniang to retreat. Hou Meng asked idly: "Tai Lieutenant." The Iron Cavalry is coming. You've got your horses ready. I have a lot of horses in Michigan right now. Do you want to support one or two? ”

Xing picked up the interrupted thoughts. Concerned inquiry: "What is the current income and expenditure of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau?" ”

Hou Meng shook his head: "It's far inferior to the Nanyang Affairs Bureau. Today, only Japanese trade remains in the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. And Goryeo only went through the war. Trade earnings can't go up...... Count it out. Our Beiyang Affairs Bureau only has 3 million yuan of income this year. Except for the two million guan handed over to the imperial court. The remainder is less than a million.

A million sounds like a lot. But this money is both to feed the army. There are also expenses to be addressed. It's really stretched. Fortunately, the High War that has just ended. Let's have a little bit of land gains. The land was auctioned off to the wealthy owner of Jingdong East Road. It's a little bit of an increase. Otherwise. We're going to die poor this year. ”

Xing immediately asked again: "How is the trade of Liao?" …… Oh. Shuai Jian Si has just returned from Tianjin. I also know some of the situation in Liao. Tell me? ”

Hou Meng is currently the Duzhi Langzhong of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. In the Beiyang Affairs Bureau, it is equivalent to the role of Wan Qianyong. He sighed. Answer: "Liao's trade is not easy to talk about openly. After all, that's smuggling. But they suffered from famine year after year. So far, the vitality has not recovered.

I've heard again that this winter has been exceptionally cold. Countless livestock have frozen to death...... Now the poor of Liao have nothing to trade. Even some military horses were resold to us. The price of horses has fallen sharply in the business of Liao. I can't make any money. ”

Shuai Fan then added: "According to my observation post in Tianjin City. The people of Liao are now living a very difficult life. The influx of our large amount of cloth has made it impossible for the Liao Weaver to make a living. Furthermore. Tea, silk, and salt imports. It also made the Liao State miserable. Something produced by a big machine and a big workshop. The price is so low that the Liao people can't believe it.

The most powerful is the iron smelting industry. We exported agricultural iron tools to Liao in unlimited quantities. Liao originally had iron mining. But now. Iron ore owners feel that the cost of smelting iron ore is high. I just like to go to Tianjin City to buy ready-made farm tools. Go home and smelt it directly into ordnance......

In a word. The people of Liao. Now it can be described as dire water. However, a small number of Khitan nobles still relied on animal husbandry to maintain a luxurious life. At present, there is a huge gap between the common people and the officials. In my opinion. The Liao State has been slackened and in danger. Only one flame is owed. ”

Shuai Fan is talking about Liao. But Hou Meng always felt that he was talking about the Great Song Dynasty under the rule of Song Huizong.

"Peasants. The peasants of the Liao State have not yet gone bankrupt. And here we are. With the highways of the states clear. In addition, water conservancy facilities have been thrown at any cost to create an irrigation system that guarantees income during droughts and floods. Make it now. Our food prices have also fallen terribly." Zhao Xing said thoughtfully.

Shuai Fan hurriedly added: "That's right. Our reclamation sites in Sri Lanka have had a bumper harvest this year. Plus double cropping rice harvested from Cochin Guangzhou...... Food prices are falling sharply right now. Who will return the land to the peasants? ”

Hou Meng sighed: "The grain hurts the peasants......"

Xing picked up his chopsticks. I fiddled with the fish with my chopsticks. But they didn't have the heart to eat fish. He groaned: "I am ready to use the emergency fund this year. The government could not buy grain from the peasants at a protective price, but it was impossible for the government to add money for nothing. This money must be rolled over to earn interest...... It's better for us to sell to Liao. The interest came out of the hands of the people of the country. It's better to earn it from the people of Liao. ”

Shuai Fan was not intimidated by Zhao Xing's proposal. According to the Song law. It is forbidden to sell grain to the Liao people. Zhao Xing had also been trying to control the outflow of grain. But now he wants to fully lift the food ban.

Shuai Fan squinted his eyes and nodded. Hou Meng's eyes lit up. immediately interjected: "I heard that there is also a bumper harvest of grain in the Wa Kingdom...... Well. I don't have much money to spare in the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. Only five warships could be taken out. 200,000 guan. Do you want me to be involved in this business? ”

He said excitedly: "You just said that the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants. The Nanyang Affairs Bureau and the Beiyang Affairs Bureau jointly purchased the surplus grain in the hands of the peasants at a protective price. This is an act of mercy on the part of the peasants. It is to cherish the people's power. It's gentleman's politics. So. Naturally, the more participants the merrier. ”

Hou Meng asked tentatively: "...... of the ban of the imperial court?"

Shuai Fan waved his hand: "Leave it alone!" (To be continued.) If you want to know what will happen next. Please log in. More chapters. Support the author. In the tank! )
