Section 567 The Question of Ritual Music (Page 1/1)

Two days later, Empress Dowager Yan, escorted by Bai Ping, crossed the Wa Inland Sea and came to Wajing.

There are already small complexes of small buildings.

As long as there are people, the market must be indispensable, and the market in Wajing is more important, the grain production here is too low, and ninety percent of the grain comes from the Central Plains.

In the food, fish, pickled vegetables and salt are locally sourced.

If the Qin State had not been vigorously built water conservancy, arranged composting, improved farm tools, and carefully selected grain varieties in Bashu, Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Yiyang, Hexi, Hedong, etc., it would really not have been able to support the huge grain consumption here in Wadao.

If you talk about the prosperity of the Japanese capital, of course, it is not as good as the capital of Yanguo, which has a long history.

But when Empress Dowager Yan got off the boat, it was only a hundred steps from the dock to the carriage park, and the Empress Dowager Yan, who had read and been educated, understood for the first time why the Qin State was strong.

In these 100 steps, Empress Dowager Yan walked for about 50 breaths, and according to the time, it took about three minutes.

In the fifty breaths of time, Empress Dowager Yan saw three things happening on this dock, which were very ordinary, and it could be said that countless small things happened every day.

The first little thing was that there were about two berths from the ship that the Empress Dowager Yan was riding, and a large ship was entering the port, and the Empress Dowager Yan saw the well-trained personnel on the dock, as well as the neat Japanese slaves who rushed from the rest place to the dock and then stood in formation, and there was the speed of loading and unloading that was almost uncommanded, fast and fast.

The second little thing, which happens every day, but no one cares.

Because everyone thinks this thing is normal, a trivial thing in the ordinary.

Empress Dowager Yan knew that the dried dates that Yan Guo bought from Han and Wei were mostly packed in wooden barrels, why?

Because it is packed in a sack, it may be shipped back and gone.

In the process of transportation, some people steal food, and in the process of coming back to carry it, some people will secretly load a little for themselves, and at the worst time, a bag of 100 catties of jujubes was transported from South Korea to the capital of Yan Kingdom, and it may not even be able to keep 30 catties, so it was changed to a wooden barrel and iron bar sealing.

And here, sacks are used.

The sack is filled with dates, and a boatload of dried dates can fall all over the ground in a short time.

But the Empress Dowager Yan didn't see anyone stealing food, she didn't see anyone stealing, there were a few Japanese slave children, pulling the basket and running fast, reminding the person with a big hole in the bag to pick up the fall on the ground with the basket.

And these children, not a single date was stolen, not a single one.

As for whether there will be rewards for these children of Japanese slaves, Empress Dowager Yan no longer knows.

The third thing, for Empress Dowager Yan, is a humiliating thing.

When she was about to reach the carriage, the female official of the Qin Palace, who was in charge of guiding the way for the Empress Dowager Yan, suddenly stopped, and then all the maids and guards of the Qin State also stopped.

I saw that the female official of the Qin Palace whispered to the Empress Dowager Yan: "Empress Dowager, there are people waiting for you on the side of the road to return the salute." ”

Roadside?

Empress Dowager Yan was a little confused, she turned her head and saw a woman wearing gray and white linen cloth with a huge word printed on her back bowing slightly to face her.

This is a very common weekly etiquette, mostly when there is a VIP entrance, the host's door to welcome the guest etiquette.

According to the weekly etiquette, the guests should nod slightly, or raise their fists and hands to show that they have accepted this respect, and some will give some money.

But that was 300 years ago.

At the moment, who else and that nobleman would care about a mere disciple.

Even if you care?

A lowly slave is also worthy of returning the gift from this palace!

Empress Dowager Yan snorted coldly, and was about to raise her feet to leave, but heard someone speak: "It turns out that Yan Guogui is the queen mother, and he is not as good as a slave in my Qin State who understands etiquette, and who doesn't even understand etiquette, is also worthy of being greeted?" ”

Empress Dowager Yan didn't see who was talking at all, only heard that the voice was a woman.

After this voice ended, Empress Dowager Yan saw that the female official of the Qin State who was leading the way for her bowed to the slave, and then left with everyone, leaving Empress Dowager Yan on the spot.

Mo said that it was the Empress Dowager Yan, that is, Su Dai, who escaped with his life, and his brother Su Li were stunned on the spot.

The people of the Qin State just put the Empress Dowager Yan here?

Could it be that Qin Guo spent so much money and effort to rescue Empress Dowager Yan, and helped Empress Dowager Yan build a group of people, but he was impulsive at that time?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Su Li opened his mouth and asked, "Who is the woman who was in charge just now?" ”

"Yes, who is that woman?"

"Enough!" Empress Dowager Yan suddenly snorted, and then asked, "What should I do now?" ”

What should I do?

It was obviously impossible to return to the ship, there was no guidance from the officials of the Qin State, there was no welcoming ceremony, Su Dai was lucky, and there were guards to lead the two Yan people over.

"Who are you?"

The two Yan people gave a salute, but the Empress Dowager Yan asked in a cold tone, and the two Yan people straightened up, turned around and left.

Su Dai had no idea what was going on, so he hurried to stop it.

The two said: "No matter what kind of big man you are, if you don't get out of the way, we will shout, there is a rule for everything on this dock, if you intercept us for no reason, there will be someone on the dock to take care of it." ”

Su Dai hurriedly asked, "No, it's not so. I just don't understand, what's the offense? ”

One of them said: "We came here only to welcome my king on behalf of the Yan people here in the capital, my king is young, but such a queen mother is not worthy of our service." ”

"Why?" Su Dai didn't understand what was going on, could it be that this Qin State deliberately arranged it to make trouble for them.

The Yan man said: "The chaos in the world comes from the collapse of etiquette. Qin Dahejun said it well, when today's morality is degraded, benevolence and righteousness are lost. The dock cleaner of a pariah and a slave knows the etiquette, but my Empress Dowager Yan Guo doesn't know, and I wait for the Yan people to know the etiquette, but the Empress Dowager of Yan Guo ignores it, just that, just that. Yan has such a king, and there is such a queen mother, which is our sorrow. ”

After the two finished speaking, they no longer ignored Su Dai's obstruction and left directly.

In the distance, what happened here has reached the Empress Dowager Xuan.

Empress Dowager Xuan asked Ji Ling: "Did you arrange this?" ”

"Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with me, no one has arranged it. It can only be said that the people of Yan Guo take themselves too seriously and do not put others in their eyes. I, the King of Qin, the strongest king in the world, have a waiter who clears the fallen leaves in the Qin Palace to make way for him, and he has to nod his head to show his thanks, just a Queen Mother Yan. ”

Ji Ling already looked down on Empress Dowager Yan, and at this time she despised it even more.

Empress Dowager Xuan shook her head: "If the world is rude, the world will lose benevolence." Xun Kuang, Qu Yuan and Zhuang Zhougong all believe that the benevolence of the world is first in the courtesy, and they also think that our king's courtesy to the servants is benevolence and courtesy. Wantonly beating and scolding domestic servants and abusing slaves are unkind and unwise. ”
