While these smugglers were busy with their friends, the common people of the Great Song Dynasty were living a good life of the year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

From the beginning of the lunar month to the Chinese New Year's Eve, the people of the Great Song Dynasty have two festivals to celebrate, the first of which is the "Wax Day" on the eighth day of the lunar month.

On this day, the monasteries of Lin'an City should use small ingredients such as walnuts, pine nuts, milk mushrooms, persimmon chestnuts, etc., cook them into "Laba porridge" and give them to the donor's house. The pharmacy will put Chinese medicinal materials such as Hutou Dan, Bashen and Tusu into a small cloth bag, called "wax medicine", and give it to everyone for the health care of Layue.

Ordinary people also make "Laba porridge", and neighbors also give gifts to each other.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, it is the "handover year" on the calendar of the Great Song Dynasty, every household regardless of rich or poor, must prepare vegetable food and bean sacrifice stove, ask the monk to read the scriptures at night, prepare wine and fruit to send to God, so the neighborhood market is full of noise during the day, and there is the sound of selling "five-color rice food, flowers and fruits, gum tooth dumplings, beans" and other sacrificial stove supplies everywhere.

In the market, there is also a procession of worshipping the gods of "Yingwu", beating gongs and drums, and "begging for the benefit of the market" to each household.

It's a bit like the god of wealth that is often given to the store in that world.

For large families and middle-class families, it is naturally not a problem to buy New Year's goods, but for poor families living at the bottom of the city, it will cost a lot of money, and I am afraid they will not be able to cope with the expenses of the New Year.

However, the poor also have the methods of the poor: after entering the wax moon, the poor families in the market, three or five people as a team, pretending to be gods, ghosts, judges, Zhong Kui, Xiaomei, etc., beating gongs and drums, begging for money along the door, commonly known as beating night beard, also the meaning of driving away.

This is an interesting practice, and the "expulsion" is only a form and an additional function of this custom, and the more important function is that it gives the urban poor a chance to obtain relief without losing dignity.

Many big households have given a reward to get a year's good luck.

In this way, many poor people will always have some extra income to celebrate the New Year, which can be regarded as a self-equilibrium in wealth.

After a few days of chaos, everyone finally settled down and lived a leisurely life for a few days, waiting for the New Year.

In the past few days, this small team that has just been formed has been integrating little by little.

Fortunately, there have been no violent conflicts so far.

Tomorrow is the New Year, and now Wu Dapeng, Song Ziqiang and Wang Defa are playing the leaf cards of this time and space, and the gameplay is very simple.

Wu Dapeng said: "This is an era when the poor also pay attention to decency, and it is an era when the poor do not hate the rich too much, because they also have the opportunity to succeed......

Song Ziqiang said indifferently: "Which time and space is different?" If you don't work hard, you can't do it. ”

Wang Defa saw that they were about to clash again, and immediately said: "That Guo Beyu beat the student again......"

Everyone was quiet for a while, and sure enough, when they heard Guo Beyu's scream coming from the side room, he got angry again, this kid, teaching is not patient at all!

Wang Defa threw the cards in his hand and said, "I'll go and see it and help him ......."

As soon as Wang Defa left, only Wu Dapeng and Song Ziqiang were left, and the two of them stared at each other and had nothing to say.

Early this morning, Wanshida took Bao Wei in a four-wheeled/big donkey cart and left, and they just went to buy some New Year's goods.

In fact, two days ago, Liu Qian had already sent them a lot of New Year's goods, but they still wanted to buy some vegetables.

Liu Qian not only sent a lot of bacon and bacon, but also camel meat!

In this way, two live fat sheep are nothing, and a few live chickens are nothing.

There was also a cook with him at that time, and he said that he would lead people to cook New Year's Eve dinner for the big merchants tomorrow New Year's Eve.

Liu Qian Xingshou thought really thoughtfully, they originally wanted to do it themselves, but this time it will save trouble.

At that time, Wu Dapeng ordered twenty dishes, and everyone agreed that these dishes were quite delicious.

They ordered crab stuffed oranges, wine snails, fried eel, two-cooked fish, mustard shrimp, crystal tuli, shrimp yuanzi, lotus fish buns, steamed stone heads in wine, smeared meat shoots, roasted bones, lychee white kidneys, steamed chicken, honey-roasted quails, fried chicken mushrooms, winter melon and bream, lettuce soup, Jiangyao clear soup, fish spicy soup, steamed mutton with turtles, and ......

The cook took out a pencil and wrote it down in a small notebook.

At that time, everyone was stunned, wouldn't it, the pencils they made in Lin'an County were so widely circulated?!

The cook saw that they were curious, so he explained: "A certain is the kitchen of Guangyuan Building, not a doctor of tea and wine, and often can't remember the dishes ordered by the guests......

Everyone is convinced, this Da Song is really different.

During the Boxer Rebellion, if there was a pencil at home, the whole family would be stoned to death, which is good, the people of the Great Song Dynasty only need to be useful to me, no matter what their origins are, they can use them.

Then the people at the bottom are so open, and there is no problem with their middle and high levels.

Therefore, our preliminary preparation seems to be too cautious, and the steps are too small.

The cook said: "Liu Xingshou also said that all the ingredients must be prepared somewhere, so there is no need for the big businessmen to worry about the New Year's dinner...... Even the gluttony eaten by the next people will be prepared. ”

There are dumplings in this time and space, but the name is Jiaozi, and the dumplings are a bit shabby, because they have no filling, only noodles.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty celebrated the Spring Festival, and the organs also gave five days off, and the shops were closed for three days off, and everyone went to the street to play and go home to gamble, and the imperial court also allowed three days of public gambling on the street.

But the average small family has no savings, so they can only eat gluttony.

Therefore, it is okay for ordinary large families to give this to their subordinates during the New Year.

Wu Dapeng smiled and said: "Our customs are not the same as those of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone has to eat together during the New Year......

Wang Defa nodded and said, "You can bring more than a dozen cold dishes from your hotel, slots, we will pack them ourselves." ”

Wang Defa is from Guangdong, but there is such a group of friends from the north, for more than 20 years, everyone has often gathered, and he has also learned to pack this.

The cook was speechless, he had never seen such a big merchant house, not to mention living in such a shabby house, he could actually eat with his subordinates.

Yes, if he could come and see them eating while they were eating, he would have been happy to die.

They ate together at a large long table, with all the big and small people served.

To be honest, they really can't stand the practice of eating well by themselves, and then letting others eat badly, and eating is uncomfortable.

The New Year's Eve dinner was settled, and they still wanted to buy some fresh vegetables, so Wanshida rushed to go.

Lin'an City has the rumor of East Cuisine, West Water, South Firewood, North Rice since ancient times, and it is a place to grow vegetables outside Dongqing Gate, so it forms a vegetable market in the east of the bridge, so it also has the name of this bridge.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty like to use the names of local markets to make up place names:

For example, the place where the thin bamboo of weaving hedges and flower arrangements is called Bamboo Pole Lane, the horse market street sells livestock, and the leather market lane sells fur.

Powe was now driving the donkey cart with interest, and Van Shida was sitting next to him.

Today's weather is particularly good, the sun is warm, and it is very comfortable to shine on people's bodies.

Bao Wei raised the donkey whip and said: "Wan Zhu's family, in the past, every time the cold food festival was swept, there were many young women with tears and plain clothes, carrying their children, wine pots and delicacies, and going out of the Dongqingmen to swim in a posture, and it would be very lively at that time......

Wanshida leaned against the car board at this time, and his body shook with the shaking of the car body.

He smiled and said, "What? Do you miss your sister? ”

“……”

"What's not to say about that? Being able to think of the future now means that your kid has a long-term vision, but this world is very big, don't look at this place in front of you......"

Bao Wei rolled his eyes and thought to himself, where did you think about a girl?!

But when it comes to the world being big, he likes to hear it.

"Wan Zhu's family, I have heard the king's family and Zhang's family say that the world is so big, can you really come back from the west by taking a boat to the east? I can't believe that this earth is a sphere......"

"Boy, don't believe it, when the time comes, you can walk around in person, won't you understand?"

"A certain one sat on a river boat, but the sea boat never sat on ......"

"Boy, you will sit down, everything will be experienced, don't worry."

When they arrived near the vegetable market, horse-drawn carts and donkey carts began to increase, and their four-wheeled big donkey carts turned around in many vehicles, appearing to be extremely flexible, and there was no such thing as a Taiping cart, and the personnel moved the tail of the cart at all.

In the praise of many "drivers", Bao Wei held his head high, like a broad boy driving a BMW, and made a trick with the donkey whip in the air.

In the end, this attracted the attention of a Ministry of Industry that made imperial weapons.

The main feature of the political system in the Great Song Dynasty was the strengthening of centralized power, and in the system of incumbent officials, centralized power, scattered power of hundreds of officials, and emphasis on literature over military force.

The absolutist centralization of power in the Song Dynasty reached an unprecedented level, essentially eliminating the factors that caused feudal secession and threatened imperial power.

In order to prevent the dictatorship of six types of people, including civil ministers, military generals, empresses, relatives, clansmen, and eunuchs, the Song court formulated a set of various systems such as centralized power, military power, financial power, and judicial power.

It can be said that the strengthening of absolutist centralization was gradually developed from the Song dynasty.

Their official organs are based on a system of three provinces and six ministries.

Not to mention the rest, they have always been less serious about the Ministry of Industry.

During the Southern Song Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty, the Military Weapons Supervisor and the Capital Water Supervisor were merged into the Ministry of Industry, and the authority of the Ministry of Industry was expanded.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry is also in charge of the Ordnance Institute and the Wensi Institute; During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, he also set up a manufacturing institute for the manufacture of imperial weapons, and appointed two officials and several officials to supervise and supervise the manufacture of weapons. Wensi Yuan is responsible for the manufacture of gold, silver, rhino jade and other utensils, and has one magistrate and three supervisors.

In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the affairs of the ordnance supervisor were sparse and simple, and it became a place to store talents.

The place where the talent is stored is actually the place where the idle officials are placed, and the jurisdiction here is just the seventh grade, but there is actually nothing to do.

Think about it, what are their capabilities to develop new types of weapons? This is a society where poetry prevails.

It is a fact that the salaries of officials in the Great Song Dynasty are high, but some idle officials are miserable, especially those in Lin'an City.

They don't earn more than fifteen yuan a month, and if they are county officials in other places, they can also do it, because they have official land subsidies, and some small coffers, and they can even invest in some merchants, the reason, you know.

However, if you are in Lin'an City, it will be very tight.

The manufacture of imperial weapons can be given jurisdiction over such a role.

Once, his wife wanted to eat mutton.

He smiled bitterly and wrote a poem: A pound of mutton costs 900 yuan, and it is difficult for you and me to be idle in Lin'an. If you can put it out one day, you will definitely let the mouth and stomach be fresh all the time!

The meaning of this is very clear, if you want to eat mutton, wait for it to be released.

On this day, he also wanted to buy some vegetables at the vegetable market, after all, this is a wholesale market, which is a little cheaper than the vegetable market at his doorstep......

At this time, he saw a four-wheeled donkey cart turning lightly in the traffic, and it was not difficult to do so!

His eyes are straightened!
