Zhao Xing smiled very honestly: "I originally used a boatload of porcelain to exchange with him, but that guy refused, this made me angry, how could my Tang Dynasty things not be in the hands of the Song people - so I decided: pay all the rewards with the knife in my hand." ”

Su Shi's hand trembled, and Qin Guan hurriedly held the Tang Dynasty style mouth bottle with his hand, for fear that Su Shi would miss it and shatter it. Gao Yu was young, he thought deeply of Zhao Xing's words, patted his thigh and said: "That's it, my lord, why should we worry about the people of Mayi, or appreciate this phoenix bottle." ”

There was a faint sound of speech outside the pavilion, and Su Dun ran in with a black leopard cat, which Zhao Xing brought back from Vietnam on this trip, and it is called "black panther" in modern times.

The black panther was dressed in satin-like black fur, running around at night, like a black ghost, Su Dun led it to run excitedly, knocked down a few screens when he came in, and then plunged into Zhao Xing's arms, refusing to get up, the black leopard cat was lying at Zhao Xing's feet, yawning lazily. Zhao Xing picked up Su Dun lovingly and nagged: "Haha, why are you also a night owl!" ”

It was not only Su Dun who was a night owl, but Chen Yiyi could also be seen through the knocked down screen, talking and laughing with Chaoyun all the way here, followed by a team of female envoys, holding a plate of supper, and the castle wall was also a fire, and people everywhere also got up overnight to make a fire to cook.

Sitting under the night sky of the Song Dynasty, eating "Japanese" sashimi, grilling "Korean-style" barbecue on a small charcoal stove, and filling the spring water of the "third spring in the world" in a Song Dynasty thermos bottle. Sitting under the screen with the words "The Third Character in the World", Xie Anlu is pedaling on his feet, that is, Japanese clogs, the teapot is boiling, and everyone enjoys the "Japanese" tea ceremony...... On this day, how comfortable and comfortable it is, a few people in the pavilion are full of oil.

Because it was a family feast, there was no singing or dancing on the scene, but the tranquility still made every pore comfortable.

"I will take office in a few days after leaving people, and I can accumulate a lot of official affairs in the past few days", Su Shi said casually while eating.

Hangzhou is a big state. It has two general judges, one of which is equivalent to the assassination history of the Tang Dynasty, or the prison state of the Ming Dynasty, he is not a director, but only supervises officials at all levels in the state. Now this "Jianzhou" is Yang Zuren, the fifth-generation descendant of the "Yang Family General". And Zhao Xing's appointment has a "official business", which means that he is the judge who officially manages the prison.

Since Su Shi wanted to continue to talk about business, Zhao Xing also took the opportunity to ask about the situation: "How many Xiangjun has the teacher transferred?" ”

Su Shi's answer startled Zhao Xing: "Thirty commanders, full of staff." ”

In the Song Dynasty, a full command of 1,000 people, and a total of 30,000 commanders, including their families. The total number can reach 200,000. This is several times more than all the armies commanded by the Michigan regiment.

It's nice that Asahi has its own fans.

Su Shi obviously had the intention of being a shopkeeper, and he saw Zhao Xing pondering there. immediately added: "More than 300,000 yuan of land were sold." It is far from enough to feed these people, and the dredging of the two rivers of Maoshan and Yanqiao is not enough for them to cultivate, but I heard that there are not many people to cultivate the fields in Mizhou, and you have built a lot of weaving mills and leather mills, and more than 100,000 people have filled them, and the manpower is still not enough. So. I don't think there are many of them...... Hangzhou is a big state, with 200,000 people building roads. Far from enough...... Well, you'll have to figure out a good way to place them. ”

Zhao Xing's gaze fell on the hand of a female envoy, and he replied absentmindedly: "Teacher, don't worry, 200,000 people is still a small number, but I'm afraid that the grain and grass are a little nervous." However, it is easy to get things done with a lot of people, and it is also a good thing to have so many people, and you can get a lot of things done. Relatively speaking, food shortages are only a minor problem. ”

Su Shi noticed that Zhao Xing was staring at the servant woman, he pointed at the servant woman and said, "This...... I saw that your house was empty, and I transferred you a few official slaves, all of whom were women, honest and obedient. Shaoyou also lives here, and you can't always let your people serve. ”

The servant woman saw Zhao Xing staring at her right hand with a finger, trying her best to hide it, she hung her head and didn't dare to raise her eyes. After listening to Su Shi's introduction, Zhao Xing nodded suddenly in realization - the official slave in front of him was a rare thing in the Song Dynasty, and seeing the official slave in the Song Dynasty was as rare as seeing a giant panda with his own eyes and shaking hands with it in modern times.

No, this analogy is also inappropriate, because the giant panda exists every year, and this group of officials and slaves has been in the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, but this group only exists for more than ten years, and it is unique.

The servant woman had two words tattooed on her right hand: Gyeongju. shows her identity as a Gyeongju lowly official slave.

In the fourth year of Shenzong Xining (1071), after the mutiny in Gyeongju was put down, the families of the rebels were slaves and maids without officials, and they were slaves on Gangnam Road, Liangzhejiang Road, and Fujian Road. This is the only visible record of large-scale prisoners' families in the Song Dynasty who were not slaves.

Zhao Xing knew the origin of these Qingzhou official slaves, and he had to start with the chapter. Last year, Zhang came to Zhao Xing's mansion, and saw Pu Yi'an driving the slaves off the ship on the dock, he showed a thoughtful expression on his face, although Zhang didn't say anything, but Zhao Xing noticed something unusual, he went back and quickly studied the regulations of the Song Dynasty on slave and maid land, and found the order "Tiansheng Order" that was completed in the seventh year of Tiansheng (1029).

The "Heavenly Sacred Decree" announced the abolition of 17 Tang Decrees, of which 12 were about the land of officials and slaves, such as the system of dividing officials and slaves and maids, the system of rewarding officials and slaves as property, the system of verification and declaration after the death of officials and slaves, the system of servitude and supply of officials and slaves. The remaining five are about the reward for capturing fugitive slaves.

Looking at this set of "Heavenly Sacred Order", Zhao Xing felt like he couldn't cry or laugh, isn't this the Song Dynasty version of the "Abolition Order" signed by Lincoln? Ancient China actually had its own "abolition order"?

This is really a special time.

It is special to the entire period of the continuation of the dynasty, the government does not advocate lowly slaves and maids, but implements the system of hired slaves and maids. In ancient China, there were 3,000 years of history, and only the Song Dynasty could not have slaves. Even since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty, many people who had been captured due to defeat and became slaves were also released by the intervention of the "Heavenly Sacred Order".

No wonder the concubine and maid system in the Song Dynasty was so special, it turned out that there were no slaves in the Song Dynasty. There is only a group of wage workers.

Zhao Xing's research found that the "Heavenly Sacred Order" is simply perverted, it does not encourage people to use lowly slaves, but it fully respects private property, and does not completely deprive lowly slaves in a one-size-fits-all way, but only gently asks the master to allow lowly slaves to redeem themselves at any time, so as to become hired slaves. If the master has not given the lowly slave a chance to redeem himself, the Heavenly Decree stipulates that after the slave has served for ten years, he will automatically be free.

After Zhao Xing finished studying the "Heavenly Sacred Order", he deeply suspected that this decree was written by a traverser! Its respect for private property that transcends the times makes him a little uncomfortable for modern people.

Think about it. Zhao Xing wondered again - is it really the history of the Song Dynasty like this? I remember that when I watched the Song Dynasty and the history of the Song Dynasty, I never mentioned that the Song Dynasty was epoch-making and did not allow slavery, so why didn't those who studied history dare to explain this to the people?

Of course, there is another unique case in the history of the Song Dynasty: Gyeongju official slaves. After the Gyeongju Mutiny. The imperial court hated these rebels who were reluctant to go to the front to deal with the "peasant rebel army" and instead dealt with the peasants who did not revolt, and they tattooed words on the hands of men and women, and sent them to the south of Liangzhejiang and Huainan as slaves, so that they could always remember the hundreds of thousands of unjust souls who died under their atrocities.

The two Song Dynasty have a history of hundreds of years. This is the only official slave who has been recorded.

According to the time speculation, if the "Heavenly Sacred Order" also worked on the Gyeongju officials and slaves, these people and their descendants should also automatically become free bodies. But the appearance of this Gyeongju official slave in front of him. It shows that the hatred of the imperial court for them has not been eliminated, and the "Heavenly Sacred Order" does not cover them

Thinking about the ins and outs of the matter, Zhao Xingyi shook his head and said unhappily: "Teacher, how can I let this kind of person enter my house, Brother Shaoyou wants someone to serve, and I will allocate one or twenty young and beautiful widows for him." Don't look at the comfort of serving him. This group of sinners ......"

Chaoyun arrived at Zhao Xing's house. Much bolder, she now dares to speak loudly. Without waiting for Zhao Xing to finish speaking, she snorted softly: "Uncle Zhao, how can you say that, Uncle Qin's family is here." If you send a widow to serve, isn't that a troublemaker? ”

Speaking of Qin Shaoyou's family, Zhao Xing couldn't help but think of an anecdote, it is said that Qin Shaoyou's son-in-law is also a celebrity, but unfortunately he is wooden by nature, once at a banquet, his son-in-law wrote poems very well, others hurriedly asked him who he was, and the son-in-law replied: "I am the mountain wiping the clouds, the sky is even declining grass, and the sound of the horn is broken by his son-in-law." ”

Qin Shaoyou is now in his forties, and his daughters have given birth, but he still looks like a child who doesn't grow up, probably he is romantic by nature, this kind of person lives forever in youth.

However, his wife's family is here, and it is not good to serve him and the widow, Qin Shaoyou is a merry man who can't move his legs when he sees a beautiful woman, plus he originally had a leg with a widow...... Well, indeed, he needs such a stupid sinner to serve, and Su Shi's arrangement is just right.

Zhao Xing patted his leg and laughed, Qin Shaoyou didn't understand why Zhao Xing was smiling so happily at first, but when he changed his mind and recalled, he immediately glared at Zhao Xing with dissatisfaction: "It's not kind to leave people, how can you make fun of this group of poor people at will, people are already ashamed and humiliated when they are committed to slavery...... By the way, why don't you see your group of kabuki? ”

Zhao Xing laughed: "They are pitiful, so the 100,000 Qingzhou people who were slaughtered by them are not pitiful?" Who will be pitiful? Brother Qin, you have too much mercy! ”

Qin Guan's question caused another laugh, because it proved that he really had a thief's heart and did not die. Well, since the "Bi Tao" incident, Qin Guan is notorious on this, no matter who he goes to to invite to dinner, the master refuses to take out his kaki to see him, since then, Qin Guan has been holding back for a long time, and only here in Zhao Xing can he be free to wander.

Why is Zhao Xing's kabuki gone? Since he knew about the "Heavenly Sacred Order", Zhao Xing had already hurriedly married his orchids and sent them away, leaving Kasli alone. This girl is a natural language expert, and she is reluctant to give it to others and keeps it for her own use. As for the group of widows, Zhao Xing also changed their treatment, began to be treated according to the land of hired slaves and maids, formally signed an employment contract, and filed it with the government...... Of course, he also registered the name of a widow, and then more than a dozen widows shared a Song name to fool the government.

The treatment of widows has changed, and many things cannot be forced. Let them volunteer. For example, it is late at night, and most of them, except for some people on duty, are allowed to rest on their own......

Speaking of the group of kabuki, Qin Guan thought of the widow Cuiyi, she showed a look of remembrance on her face, and asked Zhao Xing: "Leaving people, is there any news of Cuiyi?" ”

When Qin Guan said this, Su Shi remembered another thing, he quickly interjected to interrupt Qin Guan's question, and hurriedly said, "Leave people." Do you remember Xu Zhizhou's Katsuyuki? The last time I saw him, he said he had an agreement with you, let me ask you, do you remember that agreement? ”

The last thing Zhao Xing wanted to mention was this matter. And he didn't want to mention it in front of Yiyi, because Chen Yiyi's performance sometimes was as fierce as the Hedong lion in Chen Jichang's house. Zhao Xing frequently glanced at Su Shi here, but what was angry was that Su Shi was a person who couldn't hold back his words, no matter how Zhao Xing made his eyes. He just continued the topic just now: "By the way, she asked me to give you an embroidered handkerchief last time, and the embroidered handkerchief is embroidered with a two-color thread with a seal heart. I'll flip it over. ...... you"

"It's burned", Su Shi's words really caught Chen Yiyi's attention, and she interjected sharply: "Teacher, don't pay attention to her, just burn it, this girl has been sent for two years, what do you say about the old agreement." ”

Zhao Xing picked up the teacup. Bring it to your lips. Smiled bitterly: "Yiyi is right. Things are not people, and what do you say about the old days. When the teacher left Beijing. I received news from her that I had sent her 500 yuan, but I didn't know that she had also sent a pair of embroidered handkerchiefs...... But this is nothing, she has not replied to me since I sent the money, it seems that she has given up the agreement. ”

It was a moment of soft-heartedness in the immature period of youth, and Zhao Xing is willing to look back now, but he doesn't want to forget the past, but if he wants him to fulfill his promise, he feels sorry for his family.

After Zhao Xing said this, Chen Yiyi calmed down, silently leaned on his shoulder, and muttered: "Very good, my family official is very good!" ”

At this time, the night is as cool as water, and the air is filled with the fragrance of jasmine.

After a year, Zhao Xing made great efforts to renovate and renovate, this jasmine garden has been repaired almost perfectly, the jasmine that blooms in all seasons makes the courtyard always shrouded in a faint jasmine fragrance, in addition, there are brilliant cherry blossoms.

September is supposed to be the day when the cherry blossoms bloom, and it's only a few days when they bloom. On the night of the cherry blossom fairground, a party on a snowy night ended in a faint warmth. Su Shi and Zhao Xing had a tiring journey, and after eating, he said goodbye......

A few days later, Cheng Azhu gave birth as scheduled and gave birth to a big fat boy, Zhao Xing was busy, and the joy of winning Lin'er in this era made him a little carried away, he couldn't even tell where he was, and in a trance, he completely forgot about business. It wasn't until a few days later, when Yang Zuren visited, that he remembered his new identity.

Although Yang Zuren's family has been a civil official for two generations, from what he said, it shows that the family still maintains close ties with Jiangmen: "My lord, Zhang Yong Zhang Mizhou once wrote to me that Brother Liren was bold and righteous, and he had visited the house many times in Xia, but Brother Liren was always absent. ”

Zhao Xing has been busy changing diapers for children in the past few days, and is still preparing for the washing ceremony, when he saw Yang Zuren, there was still a large ball of urine in front of his lichen, but he was also like Wang Anshi, he didn't care about the stains on his body at all, so he was dressed to meet guests, and he didn't feel twisted at all: "Lord Yang is polite, his wife gave birth, he was happy to give birth, and he was happy these days, and he completely forgot to visit his colleagues, and he laughed and laughed!" ”

After the greetings, Yang Zuren revealed a piece of news: "Duke Su made Hangzhou free of hunger this year, but not long ago, officials from the imperial court who came to inspect reported back to the court, saying that the people of Hangzhou hated Su Dongpo to the bone and wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. Question: To what extent, let's be specific. The ministers replied: The meat they eat is called Dongpo meat, and the fish they eat is called Dongpo fish, as well as Dongpo elbows, Dongpo tofu, and Dongpo soup...... It can be seen how much the people of Hangzhou hate Su Dongpo? ”

"Clever!" Zhao Xing made a scene.

The Song Dynasty generally did not eat pork, while the people of Hangzhou loved to eat pork, which is a fact; It is also true that they call their favorite dish "Dongpo meat"; It's also true that they like to eat Dongpo meat the most!

However, part of the truth is not the truth, and the truth of the excerpt is not the truth.

This official consciously excerpts part of the facts, so as to draw a conclusion diametrically opposed to the truth, this kind of propaganda is almost like the modern official who has been cultivated through theorization and systematization, and his wisdom spans 900 years, which is simply amazing.

Of all the facts, the only part that is omitted is that "Dongpo meat" is a well-known cooking method, and the meat produced in this way is delicious.

Why did he omit this fact - he deliberately did it, since he knew the name "Dongpo meat", he must have known the taste of Dongpo meat, but in order to attack others, he deliberately omitted this part of the fact, thus deriving a conclusion diametrically opposed to the truth. Such propaganda skills can only be mastered through professional training, but in the Song Dynasty, since the guy had no teacher and "creatively invented" this skill, Zhao Xing heard this, and he simply worshipped the other party with burning yellow paper.

"Who is this, what is the position first, and who is the surname? How many acres of land and how many cows are there at home, who is the mother of the cows? What's the last name? Zhao Xing spoke incoherently excitedly and asked repeatedly.

Yang Zuren rolled his eyes, picked up the teacup, and covered his face with the teacup.

He came to Zhao Xing's mansion to tell Zhao Xing about this, purely because he was entrusted by Zhang Yong to take extra care of Zhao Xing. According to the regulations, such an impeachment is anonymous, and even he doesn't know who said it, how can he tell Zhao Xing - not to mention that Zhao Xing is already rude to ask such a question.

Yang Zuren's attitude made Zhao Xing understand that he was too distracted, and only noticed the details of the side branches, he took a quick breath, and hurriedly returned to the topic: "How to answer?" ”
