Suburban sacrifice, the ritual of the suburb is the most solemn festival of the Zhou Dynasty, it originally belonged to a kind of nature worship, but by the time of Xia Yin, the "sky" has been changed from the natural attribute of the day, to the natural attribute and the social attribute of the unity of the "day", the sky is not only the "supreme god" of the society, but also the source of the legitimacy of the Zhou people's royal power.

Zhao Song is not right, and he has always been the most important of this.

Even if he is a good emperor like Song Renzong, he has also done bad things on this. The Great Song suburban festival is a big event, the emperor wants to personally go to the southern suburbs to worship the heaven and earth, and the inexplicable Marshal Zhao Gong!

Marshal Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, was formerly known as Zhao Jianping. In Chinese folklore, the god of wealth is in charge of financial resources, and the god of wealth is mainly divided into two categories: one is Taoist conferral, and the other is Chinese folk belief. Taoism confers the title of Tianguan God, and Chinese folk belief is Tianguan Tianxian.

Because of the Taoist mythology of the Marshal of the Xuantan, it is also known as Zhao Xuantan. Its name was first seen in Jin Ganbao's "Sou Shen Ji" and Liang Tao Hongjing's "True Message", which was originally the god of the five directions, and later it was said that he could protect himself from illness and disaster, preside over justice, and make profits from trading, and became the god of wealth.

Later, Chinese folk believed that Zhao Gongming's subordinates were in charge of four small gods related to wealth, namely Zhaobao, Nazhen, Zhaocai and Lishi, so they became the gods of wealth. The God of Wealth pours out the simple emotions of the Chinese working people, and entrusts the good wishes of living and working in peace and contentment.

(What few people in later generations know is that this is actually a Taoist god born by the royal family of the Song Dynasty, claiming to be the ancestor of the Zhao family, although the emperors of all dynasties have to put gold on their ancestors, but the Song Dynasty is high enough to upgrade the ancestors to immortals).

But think about the Song Dynasty is the richest dynasty in China among all dynasties, it seems that people pretend to be like this, and they have passed.

However, in the late Song Dynasty, this pretending ratio came at a price.

Treat the ancestors as immortals, but it costs money. The cost is naturally indispensable, and the rest will be rewarded lavishly, and all clans and civil and military officials and civil servants have a share, which is just somewhat different.

At most, the Renzong Dynasty spent more than 20 million or 30 million yuan on a suburban sacrifice, and indirectly raised the salaries of all officials, so no one objected. Oh, as for the people of the Song Dynasty, hehe, it's useless for you to object.

After the Zhenzong Dynasty sealed Mount Tai, this sacrifice cost more and more, which is considered to be the peak of the precedent.

As soon as Zhenzong thought of the Yuanyuan Alliance, he felt deeply ashamed. He may also think of the world's slander of his father's legitimacy on the throne, his father's criticism of his father's pursuit of the throne for their brother, and his own belief that he would replace his brother Motozo to inherit the throne, all of which were his heart problems. The old disease has not been removed, and the new shame has been added, and the heart is like eating a fly. The close minister Wang Qinruo guessed the heart of the true sect, and tried his best to encourage the true sect to have the act of sealing Zen. Zhenzong made up his mind to seal Zen.

The Zhenzong Dynasty is a farce, and the monarchs and ministers of a country are like crazy, and there are few sober people. But the money spent and the precedent set are real losses!

Therefore, after that, all the emperors of the Song Dynasty couldn't bear it, so they changed from a sacrifice every year to a sacrifice every three years, and the standard of rewards also decreased year by year. Even with this drop, the finances are still tight.

When Ben came to the previous emperor, he was already much better, but it was the turn of the Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji to get on the horse, and he didn't care so much. Slapping a swollen face and becoming fat is his favorite thing to do.

No, this year is the year of the suburbs, and the autumn suburbs will have to be sealed, and Cai Jing is in charge of the government, so this matter must naturally be taken to heart.

This autumn's suburban festival will cost about 58 million yuan, but last year's disaster, all parts of the country were busy with relief, and the official family wanted to build a Ming Hall.

There was a severe drought last year, and this year, there was no new grain harvest until the summer harvest. But now, in order to recover the lost land, it is necessary to spend more money, and this residual gap is just nerve-wracking.

Zhu Zilong is willing to pay this money for his senior brother, which is equivalent to spending money to buy officials. It is too much to say that it is necessary to upgrade three levels in a row, and it is okay to add one or two levels. After all, hundreds of officials can and will get kickbacks!

Money can communicate with the gods, and it can also communicate with people and ghosts!

However, in Zhu Zilong's heart, it is also the place of flowers, rather than being a miser and finally letting people be killed as fat pigs, it is better to be like the 2017 New Year in later generations. Jack Ma, Alipay has sent billions of red envelopes to everyone.

It should be given to hundreds of officials to collect five blessings, and dedication and blessings are enough!

-

As expected, the money was spent, and it was time for the household department. The will of the reward also came down directly!

After the battle of Zhu Zilong's doppelganger was settled, he was ordered to enter Beijing. This return to Beijing is different from the previous one, it is the official return of one of the parents to Beijing to report on his work, and he will be transferred to the post of one of the four capitals in Beijing. It is equivalent to taking over Liang Zimei as the current position.

Among the magistrates of the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to Kaifeng Mansion, the status of the left-behind division in Sanjing is the most respected, in today's words, it is like the mayor of a municipality directly under the central government!

Zhu Zilong's doppelganger is only in his early twenties, even if he has miraculous skills to protect his body, plus banknotes to open the way. can be so old and suddenly ascend to this high position, although there is no official palace newspaper, the people and some officials at the foot of the capital are already boiling like boiling water.

Some people even said that this person is so young that he can stay in Beijing, and in two years, he is afraid that he will be renamed He Xianggong (the special title of the prime minister)! So, it was amazing!

Of course, there are laymen who watch the excitement, and naturally there are insiders who watch the doorway. There is a lot of gossip, and there are actually a lot of people who remain neutral or agree.

After all, counting with your fingers, this Zhu Zilong's doppelganger has made a contribution. At his age, looking at the founding of the Great Song Dynasty so far, it seems that there are really few young people who can compare with it, to put it mildly, even the founding emperor has not been able to do this.

Although he said that he moved to Beijing for more than a year, he can be regarded as the first person in this dynasty. This reward is definitely generous enough, but it seems to be in the past in the current situation. Especially with the support of Cai Jing and the second prince, and Tong Guan and the family members of the Western Army, as well as many officials in the DPRK and China voted in favor.

The opposition was clearly not in the majority, and the Emperor was intoxicated by the large number of banknotes and the joy of victory, which could not be done.

-

"These stupid people know that they are in opposition, there are too many first people in the Huizong Dynasty, and the time Wang Fu was promoted to prime minister, he jumped eight levels in a row! Lao Tzu's doppelganger has made great contributions, and he spends money on treats, and there are people in the court who are good officials, and they will be promoted by four or five levels in a year, and they will be called a fart. It's so tight! ”

Holding the chapter table in his hand, Zhu Zilong's body had a cynical expression, and he rolled his eyes at a crow flying in the sky.

When the news reached the border pass, countless people were waiting for the moment when the pioneers returned to Zhuozhou.

At this moment, whether it is a child or a farmer, the arrogance when he entered the city does not know where he flew. The two people, if there were still some complaints, are now quiet and honest.

After all, at the moment, the people who have come back are only afraid that they are all promoted to the rhythm of senior officials, and they are even more coaches. At this time, it is the mainstream to show goodwill, and it used to be said that people should hug their thighs, but now look at it, maybe people themselves are about to become thighs, so it is best to form an alliance.
