The man on the other side choked.

He really doesn't deserve to talk to Zhao Xing about the "rules of the rivers and lakes".

The Song Dynasty was the era when the term "Jianghu" was born, but its context was completely different from that of modern times. The "rivers and lakes" referred to by the Song people have two contexts, namely "Zhuangzi said" and "Fan Li said".

The first to use the term "Jianghu" was Zhuangzi, who talked about the concept of "Jianghu" corresponding to "temple", which contains the meaning of "seclusion" and "retreat"; Fan Li said "floating in the rivers and lakes, changing names and surnames, managing property and accumulating residence, chasing with the times without being responsible for others", referring to business. The former are "officials" who have accidentally lost power, and they are qualified to describe themselves as "charlatans" - Fan Zhongyan quoted this statement; The latter is a wealthy "businessman", and they say that the "Jianghu guest" is secretly proud of his "wealth like Fan Li".

Since the Qin Dynasty, China has built a country based on agriculture and agriculture, and has also taken the well-field system as the ideal social paradigm, and designed a complete set of political and management systems centered on this. "Leaving the land" means escaping from the traditional paradigm system. Proceeding from the concept of an agrarian society, these people who have left their hometowns are the most difficult class to manage in the ancient legal system.

In the Song Dynasty, the Song people valued business, and commerce formed a network based on mutual trust, which inevitably produced a "self-organization" system. The two Song Dynasty mainly take the southeast, so "the two capitals rely on the boat traffic", which belongs to the bustling city of "floating on the water". Development of shipping, transportation and trade destinations. Extend the flow of people and goods to the commercial, service and entertainment industries in the city.

This kind of social evolution has contributed to the expansion of the people's activity space, so the word "Jianghu" came into being, and at the same time, "Jianghu Society" and "Jianghu Patriarchy" were born.

There are rules for mixing rivers and lakes - the Song people attached great importance to the patriarchal law of good neighborliness, so the local characteristics of "clan society" inevitably brought into the "Jianghu society", such as brotherhood and mutual assistance in patriarchal law. Projected into the Jianghu society, it has become a common saying such as "relying on parents at home, relying on friends when going out", "worshipping brothers", etc., and the president of the chamber of commerce is also as authoritative as a patriarch and elder, and the chamber of commerce hall is completely modeled after the clan structure.

By the time Zhao Xing came, this kind of Jianghu society had lasted for more than 100 years. Gradually, the "rules of the rivers and lakes" became the "common patriarchy", or "nomadic patriarchy", and further became the "nomadic faith".

Other words. In the Song Dynasty, only retired officials and wealthy businessmen were "Jianghu people" and were qualified to talk about "Jianghu rules".

These people on the other side are called "martial arts heroes" and "Jingshi heroes" to put it mildly, but the Song Dynasty called them pounders, broken households, splashing skins, daytime ghosts, and dry waterlogging men...... And so on, in modern times, earlier they were called "the most determined revolutionaries", and later they were called "hooligans", or "violent elements".

In the Song Dynasty, these people stood at the gate of the "rivers and lakes". People who look up to the society of rivers and lakes with envy. They dare to call themselves "Jianghu Ke", and they have to wait for the Mongols to come and completely destroy the traditional culture - because after the Song Dynasty. The various imperial courts implemented a policy of suppressing business, and the scoundrels were finally qualified to use the term "rivers and lakes" that they had been looking at to drooling over to refer to themselves.

But at that time, the "charlatans" practically ceased to exist, because the "commoner patriarchy" had been destroyed – the phrase "friends are for betrayal" could be used to flaunt one's wisdom. It happens to be a testament to the collapse of the "nomadic faith".

This is called "there is no China after the cliff mountain".

Then. Zhao Xing's official authority really made this group of broken households have nothing to say. They are really not qualified to talk about rivers and lakes.

Originally, they thought that the people who lived in the house were businessmen. Therefore, I am ready to talk to each other more about the "rules of the rivers and lakes" to make the other party submit. But unexpectedly, Zhao Xing put on an official posture, and simply thought that they were not qualified to talk about the word "rules of the rivers and lakes".

At this moment, those people are not easy to speak, they look at each other awkwardly, and some people have regretted being bewitched and running this trip.

Zhao Xing turned to Chen Gongchuan and said calmly, "Are you willing to forgive him?" ”

Chen Gongchuan shook his head weakly, and a person opposite shouted: "Great official, my lord, he is guilty of Jing pleading—he is guilty of Jing pleading, and you still don't forgive him?" ”

"This kid has read too much, and his brain is stupid", Zhao Xing pouted: "If I kidnap your son, insult your wife or daughter-in-law, and then take a fluttering wattle to confess to you, and let you smoke a few times at will - this matter is over?" ”

"How can this be ......?"

Zhao Xing immediately planned the other party's words: "Yes, how can this be reasonable!" How is it that I have done this to you? If you do this to me, and do not forgive him, how can this be justified...... That's it, the splash is really the splash, I talk to the splash, the fool is not you, it's me - too lazy to pay attention! ”

In the distance, Cheng Wang had already run towards the gate of the courtyard with several officials. The group of people on the opposite side saw that the officials were coming, and one of them moved, perhaps he wanted to explain something, but suddenly an arrow shot from the courtyard and pierced his shrugging shoulder—and then an earth-shattering scream echoed throughout the street.

This group of "martial arts heroes" has already understood, Zhao Xing is not going to let anyone go, their faces changed, Bu Qing has already done a backflip, jumping from a kneeling position to the crowd, he took the thorn, put on a defensive posture, and shouted: "What are you going to do before you want to let me go?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled coldly: "Everyone needs to take responsibility for their own actions, so every time you make a move, you have to think about it: are you ready to take responsibility!" What are the rules of the rivers and lakes: When a person does the first year of junior high school, he needs to think of the fifteenth year to repay his debts; If you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to return the land......

Are you here to pay off your debts? It's to force me to accept what you think is the cost. But I don't like the price you pay, for example, take that stick, I don't like it, I really have the heart to plead guilty, I should use my stick - come to someone, take a few sticks, let him choose. ”

A few slick fuchsia sticks were taken out. Stick it in the ground. These sticks are two meters long and look thin. The stick has been polished at both ends, slightly thicker in the middle, like a flat handshake.

Bu Qing saw that Zhao Xing was holding a short wooden staff in his hand, but he made a strange posture of drawing his knife, as if his hand was moving at any time. He would pull out a sharp knife from the wooden staff, so he didn't dare to come to him, so he only picked a stick at random from a distance: "Big official, if you can't get angry, use that stick to whip me a few times, let out your anger." ”

Then. The officials had already gathered around, Cheng Wang saw a stick stuck in the ground, smiled slightly, and he paused. Wait for Zhao Xing's execution to be completed.

Cheng Wang knew that those sticks were actually bow arms, bow arms made by Ma Yi Dragon's Blood Tree, and it was a strong bow when hung up. This kind of stick is both hard and tough, and with this kind of stick, with Zhao Xingdi's strength, no one can survive five sticks alive...... Zhao Xing only used one stick to roll Bu Qing's volley into the air. When the stick was finished, he abandoned it and raised his chin at the officer. Ordered: "Arrest it!" ”

Zhao Xing didn't mean to catch Bu Qing, because Bu Qing was already finished. The stick was pumped to the opponent's waist, and Zhao Xing had already heard the sound of bones shattering. Feel the brittle bones in your hands. Now Bu Qing is worse than dead. But for Bu Qing's group of people, Zhao Xing didn't intend to let go of any of them.

The way of forgiveness is for friends, not enemies!

The officials were quick and immediately locked up the group. Someone shouted unwillingly: "Great official." You hit and you were punished. Why don't you want to take a break? I'm just here to make peace, what are we doing locking us! ”

Zhao Xing grinned and smiled brightly: "I'm a law-abiding person!" And I always like to be obedient - Bu Qing makes me angry, I am angry; Kaifeng Mansion asked me to vote, and I voted; Now, the matter is not in my hands, and the legal process that should be gone is over. As soon as the paper enters the public gate, how can it be withdrawn if you want to?

As for you, gathering crowds to make trouble, blocking the doors of officials' houses, roaring and threatening, that's a different story......"

A servant said flatteringly while doing his hand: "Don't worry, my lord, Bu Qing's guy is desperate, no one dares to take him in tonight, he was bombarded out of several places even when he went to several places, so he pawned all of them and hooked these people to come out and beg for mercy." Today, thanks to Master Di Gong, we have made a great contribution, just to wipe out all his henchmen...... Haha, wait for the notice posted in Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow, adults wait, the complaint against them will be like snowflakes. ”

Henchmen, this word made the group of people on the other side regret not falling, and they desperately explained to the officials. At this time, the neighbors who had just visited ran out of the door, and when they heard the screams just now, they were all filled with righteous indignation and expressed their willingness to testify...... That night, Bu Qing took his last breath in prison. After hearing the fall of Bu Qing, they all paid money to beat the jailers and tortured them in prison, and the people who replaced Bu Qing's rise were also worried that these people would help Bu Qingyu to retaliate after they were released from prison, so they used various means to end them up in prison one by one.

After this incident, through the word of mouth of the officials, Zhao Xing's appearance of wearing iron armor and vicious appearance was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which made Ma Mengde's business in the capital like a smooth sail......

Zhao Xing didn't bother to care about the rest of the matter. After the incident that night, Zhao Xing had completely forgotten who Bu Qing was.

Early the next morning, the people in the house were beaming. Because yesterday Zhao Xing made a beautiful scenery in the world, everyone likes beautiful things, and the servants feel that the master has a head and knows how to enjoy, and it is not a loss to keep up with such a person, so they are excited.

Cheng Azhudi's action added a festive moment to the house. Early in the morning, she cut and pasted countless window flowers, decorated every door and window in the house, and began to discuss with the group of widows to make new clothes...... The people in the house are a little puzzled by this, and it's not a marriage, what are you doing with window grilles everywhere?

Cheng Azhu was busy, Zhao Xing didn't have to accompany her, he hugged Su Dun and fulfilled the promise he had already made: take him on horseback.

In broad daylight, there were no outsiders in the house, and a few servants were tidying up the pond that day, and the pond took a few new truckloads of soil, which enlarged the area a lot, but the shore looked messy and needed to be repaired. So, Zhao Xing held Su Dun in his arms, rode a horse around the small lake, and instructed and supervised the work of the servants by the way, while Chen followed him on another horse.

After reuniting with his son. After chatting for a few days, Chen was very satisfied with his son's growth, so today he completely let go of his hands and let his son mix with the children of the Cheng family.

Zhao Xing has always liked to be paid according to work, and his students follow him and never do free labor. Chen Buqun went to Nanyang with Zhao Xing, and also accumulated a huge amount of money, after getting the money handed over by his son, Chen was very happy recently, he followed behind Zhao Xing with a relaxed expression, and let the horse run with small steps. And immediately sighed: "Ah, it's been a long time since I've ridden so freely!" After this heavy snowfall, it is time for the trees to turn green and the grass to grow eagle enclaves. It's perfect for horseback riding. ”

Zhao Xing hugged Su Dun, and said without looking back while manipulating the horse: "If you like it, take one away - I still have a few horses in the yard in Hangzhou, there are many horses, and it costs forage, you help me raise it, it's just right." ”

Chen sighed: "No! Whoever can afford to raise a horse of yours eats all millet, eggs, and the one you mentioned - carrots. That's right, clove radish...... I can't afford it. ”

Chen could afford to feed it, and the furniture his son handed over was enough for Chen to go straight to the wealthy class. And when Wang Anshi implemented the "Horse Protection Law". Asking 3,000 people to raise a horse for the army, it is estimated that ten horses are enough to raise Chen.

Chen ran for a while and sighed. Q: "How?" How could your horse be so obedient? Running steps...... It's beautiful, like stepping into a cloud. It's very gentle, the body doesn't shake at all, and I'll ride your horse too, how about it? ”

"Didn't you find my costume?" Zhao Xing said smugly: "I am wearing a knight's costume, which is a special costume worn by Westerners when riding horses...... You can't ride this horse, it's the same, my riding posture is specially learned from a knight in the West, it's called dressage. It's to put on such a riding costume and walk the horse.

Lo and behold, when the horse raises its front hooves, its body is tilted, and it leans back a little, and you have to match its pace, lean back a little, and then wait for it to lift its hind hooves, and then you lean forward. In this position, the horse does not get tired at all, because the man and horse are coordinated, and in addition, because your body is constantly swaying with the fluctuations of the horse, from the ground, your body is very straight, and it is really majestic and comfortable......

Boating, have you ever learned it? The body should be like rowing, or like lying on a rocking chair, shaking and shaking until you want to doze off...... That's right, just dangling back and forth. ”

Chen Zhao Zhao Xing's guidance rode for a while, and praised: "Sure enough, it is comfortable and comfortable." ”

A group of widows were carrying baskets to the lake to wash their clothes—the new material had to be washed to soften so that it would not shrink. Seeing the two riding horses around the lake, they let out a deafening scream, like fans who meet idols in modern times. And mighty! Handsome again! Good people, good horses - the first in the world", the widows shouted presumptuously, and they didn't know who of the two they were talking about. A widow still shouted in a bright voice: "Master, my door is not locked every night, you come to my bed and shake it, I like it!" ”

Laughter erupted, and Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly urged his horse to flee.

This guy fled first without righteousness, and Zhao Xing didn't have the courage to continue to wander among the chattering comments of more than a dozen women, and seeing that the time was almost up, he hugged Su Dun and urged the horse to the mansion.

At the gate of the mansion, Mrs. Wang was tidying up the carriage, and Chaoyun was also waiting for Su to come. When the two men came, they were empty-handed, and when they walked on the ground, Su Dun's pet was loaded into a carriage, and the rest of the toys and belongings continued to fill three carts.

Zhao Xing jumped off the horse, hugged Su Dun and gave it to Chaoyun, and said goodbye to Mrs. Wang with Cheng Azhu. Before leaving, Zhao Xing suddenly remembered something, and he asked Chaoyun in a low voice: Which store did Su Shi's family's boots be customized.

Chaoyun hurriedly told Zhao Xing the name of the store and boarded the bus to leave. Taking advantage of the spring light, Zhao Xing was interested, he asked someone to bring another horse, took two servants, and rushed to the boot shop with Cheng Azhu.

Boots are in full swing. Before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the custom of wearing boots was not common among the Han people. In the Tang Dynasty, Ma Zhou underwent a transformation and quickly became a popular fashion, and hundreds of officials followed suit, so it became a regular wear. Boots were no longer a "rare thing" in the Northern Song Dynasty, they became a must-have thing to replace clogs in winter, and they were also popular in summer.

The boot shop of the Song Dynasty is similar to the modern British and Italian shoe stores, the store has the shape of the shoe of the old customers, and has a special "sitting book", whether it is customized in the official's house, or the boots taken away by the customer, there is a statement in the sitting book, "so-and-so, this year and a month in the house to do a certain custom manufacturing". And the lining of the leather boots should be sandwiched with a piece of leather paper, which reads, "Made by a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day."

The leather boots of the Song Dynasty were not the same as those used in Peking Opera, they were thick boots with wooden soles. The technique of thick boots with wooden soles was due to the technical regression that occurred after the arrival of the Mongols. Zhao Xing once occasionally saw a sample of wooden shoes from the Song Dynasty unearthed in an exploration program, and the wooden soles of the boots were very special, with a thin carved bottom. The specifications are very fashionable. It should be sewn leather, but because the leather has been carbonized, it is not clear to see the specific style.

Zhao Xing carried a few pieces of Mayi Dragon's Blood Tree floor planks with him, and what he asked for was a pair of high heels. Foot wrapping was popular in the Song Dynasty, and the kind of shoes that were "wrong to the end" were actually old-fashioned high heels, and since then. Due to the regression of shoe-making technology, people made a fuss about their feet, and the "foot wrapping" in the Northern Song Dynasty became a blind pursuit of "foot wrapping" with broken foot fingers in Laos...... A word difference. From aesthetic pursuits to torture.

The sole of the "wrong to the end" is a whole wooden plank, and the front is low and the back is high to make an "integrated high heel". Zhao Xing asked for a wooden sole and a metal heel. Wood is fine, but it has to be carved separately and put back together. The resulting shoes are much lighter, and the heel can be made into a variety of shapes. There are no technical difficulties with such shoes, but

The boss watched Zhao Xing hand over a few dragon blood tree boards, he knocked on the board, frowned and said, "Guest officer, this plank is too hard." If you want to carve the shape of your feet, I'm afraid it will take more than ten days. ”

Zhao Xing pulled out a lead strip from his body—a leftover from yesterday's riveting lantern—and he used the lead strip to draw the shape of a high-heeled shoe on paper. Then he drew a horizontal line on the heel of the shoe, and pointed to it and said, "The sole of the shoe shall be carved in such a way that the heel of the shoe shall be divided into two parts, and then riveted to each other with iron nails, and the bottom shall be nailed." The sole cannot be a bare plate. To carve non-slip teeth. I'll give you the metal spikes that hold the heel in place...... How many days can it be? ”

The boss looked closely at the shoe. I closed my eyes and imagined the pattern of the finished product in my mind, then opened my eyes and replied, "What a strange shoe." When taking a foot sample, the foot should be upright, not flat...... The fine hair requested by the guest officer will take at least a month. ”

"Ten times the price, one day to complete", Zhao Xing simply smashed the other party with money.

The boss was a little embarrassed: "This wood is too hard, it takes a lot of effort, I'm afraid it ......"

"Stupid, I'll tell you to split the sole of your shoe into two parts from the heel, and you can have two people carve the heel of the sole of your shoe separately and put it together...... Twenty times the price, one day! ”

The boss was shocked: "Since the guest officer is in a hurry, I will recruit more people to rush."

Zhao Xing nodded, and immediately said: "The upper should not be straight, I want you to make holes in the leather, rivet the eye holes with copper rivets, and then use a leather rope to bundle - wouldn't it be better for the shoes to be tightened by yourself." ”

The boss's eyes widened suddenly.

Zhao Xing's words pushed open a door and window for him, allowing him to discover a new world. In this way, the shoes will definitely surpass other shoe stores in terms of comfort...... It's a way to make money.

"Xiao Lao'er promises that it will be fine today, where is the guest's mansion, tonight at sunset, Xiao Lao'er will definitely send his boots to the mansion", the shopkeeper has tried his best to keep Zhao Xing, the guest. Because if Zhao Xing goes to another store and tells others about this shoe-making method, then the craftsmanship obtained by the boss will not be exclusive.

Zhao Xing instructed the servant to hand over the address of his mansion, and woke up the boss again: "Wait for the edict, you haven't thought that the shoes with wooden soles are directly sewn into the leather, I'm afraid it is not reliable - how hard the wood is, the needle and thread only occupy one side seam, and after a long time, the wood will fall off when it is broken." ”

The boss's eyes were as bright as light bulbs - of course, there were no light bulbs at that time, and he waved his hand and called out to the man: "Come on, serve tea, serve fragrant tea." ”

Then, he accompanied him and asked carefully: "Guest officer, what can you do?" ”

"Didn't I just tell you about nails, use nails - lay a sole-shaped copper plate on the wooden bottom, cover the copper plate with another layer of leather, and then punch holes in the copper plate, sew the wooden bottom, the copper plate, and the leather bottom together. In this way, the pinholes will not strain the plank......"

The boss had already understood, and he asked carefully: "Guest officer, where are these shoe spikes sold?" ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "I don't know, it's probably sold in Quanzhou, Hangzhou, and I also bought a bag of shoe spikes by chance, and heard people talk about this way of making shoes...... Shoe spikes, you go back to my house to get them. I heard that you also made shoes for Mr. Su's family. I've got some good pieces of land and I'm planning to make them all into shoes.

You make a pair for my widow first, and if you do it well, you can use those skins to give it to Master Su and our family, and do it all - wait for the edict, this is a big business, don't miss the time. ”

"Don't worry!" The boss's two eyes are like light bulbs, very energetic, he asked Zhao Xing in detail about the requirements for shoes, and when Zhao Xing left, he was like a treasure, and solemnly collected a few patterns drawn by Zhao Xing on the paper with lead bars, and shouted loudly to a few sons to go out and hire helpers.

The boot shop owner learned at least six things from Zhao Xing's mouth this time: a new boot style; division of labor and cooperation; Assemble; the innovation of boot soles; new accessories for shoe spikes and copper rivets; Use of shoelaces...... Maybe new materials will have to be added, because Zhao Xing promised him that when he finishes on schedule, he will place a new order with new materials.

As long as there is an innovation in a product, it can already make it surpass similar products, and it is difficult to make a fortune with so many new technologies to make a boot pattern.

The most important thing is that Zhao Xing helped him open a window at this time, so that the boot boss could see a new world: for example, after adding copper plates to the soles of the boots, the fixing ability has increased, and the choice of boot upper materials has been wider. Bulky and sturdy cowhide can be discarded in favor of softer, more colorful satins and fabrics......

"In the end, this pair of boots can be as famous as the wrong one, it will definitely replace the wrong one to become the new love of my Song lady, God of Wealth, the God of Wealth is coming to my store today", the owner of the boot shop just wanted to shout excitedly.

Zhao Xing, the owner of the boot shop called "God of Wealth, is riding back to the mansion, along the way, his strong and elegant riding posture has attracted countless people to applaud, Cheng Azhu has also gained a lot of jealous white eyes in the back, but this white eyes make her very proud, very happy, and very intoxicated. overflowing with happiness, she even forgot to condemn Zhao Xing for teaching technology to outsiders.

There are still a few idlers snooping at the gate of the mansion, the door is blocking them, Zhao Xing did not pause at the door, he urged the horse to rush into the mansion, and saw the new geographical ghost at a glance.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Xing asked while dismounting: "By the way, how is the business in Fuzhou recently?" ”

"Brother Xing, I'm not here for Fuzhou this time", Jiao Yan replied: "Nagato Busi made a detour from Goryeo and sent me an urgent letter, saying that the name of the Japanese warrior who planned to come to the Great Song Dynasty was Yuan Yeping, and he said: You will know what it is when you mention this name." That guy is going to come and fight with you, he can't stop it now, it is estimated that Yuan Yeping should get on the boat when the letter arrives, I hope you will prepare early. ”
