Chapter 4 Enwei and the new way to do not fall into the old men's clothing
On the side of the official road in Qufu, Sanniang's words were well-founded, reasonable and modest, after Chen Dong listened, his face was red, and after a moment of silence, he finally said with a long sigh: "Xuanfu has the emperor's order, and he is loved by the army and the people on the Shandong Road, and he is a model of virtue and ethics in the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Sanniang bowed slightly: "That's very good." Seeing that you are resolute and dare to speak out, I wonder if you would like to come to Jeju to take the exam in the autumn of this year? Chen Dong was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Xiaosheng is willing to go." ”
Only because of this time, Emperor Daojun stopped the imperial examination, and the officials were all selected from the Taixue students, and Chen Dong had been dismissed from the Taixue class, which was regarded as a broken career. And within Taixue, without the imperial examination, how to select talents? Naturally, there is a Taixue sacrificial wine promotion, or it is to defect to a faction and be elected by the courtiers within the faction, and in this way, the students' emergence is no longer a fair exam, but has become a matter of relying on relationships or alliances with the powerful to get ahead.
At this time, in the Great Song Dynasty, only Sanniang opened the town of Shandong Road and held the imperial examination every year, everyone spoke according to their ability, and had attracted a lot of students who failed to enter the Taixue to take the exam, these students were either poor, or arrogant and disdainful of the powerful, so many students came to Shandong Road to take the imperial examination in the town of Fan, and finally they could stay in Shandong Road as an official. In the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing and others controlled the government for decades, and it was precisely because Emperor Daojun was confused that he ordered the imperial examination to be stopped, and Cai Jing and others wantonly wooed students in Taixue, and then became his henchmen, so Cai Jing was safe and sound, the reason is that there are too many henchmen in the court.
As for Chen Dong after he came to Shandong Road, but seeing that the politics here are clear and the people live and work in peace and contentment, he wanted to stay for the imperial examination, and then become an official on Shandong Road and do a career. Just like Chen Dong, honest scholars all go to Shandong Road to take the exam, because Sanniang's side can be said to be the Zhengying Dynasty, and insists on holding the imperial examination every year, which is also a means for Sanniang to take advantage of the incompetence of the Song Dynasty and collect the world's upright scholars for their own use.
Chen Dong made a small disturbance on the side of the official road, and after Sanniang argued skillfully on the spot, a turmoil turned into invisible, so that no one said anything to Sanniang personally to worship Kong Hui, Kong Duanyou and others welcomed Sanniang and others into Qufu City.
On the same day, in the Confucian Mansion, the Confucian family feasted guests, for Sanniang, Lu Junyi and others to pick up the wind and wash the dust, all of them came from all over the famous teachers and Confucians, or the famous gentry and rich Jia on Shandong Road, Sanniang has been a long-term propaganda envoy, leading the heroes, and treating people and things naturally has a prestige, Lu Junyi is also from outside the staff, and has been an official for a long time, and he also has some experience in dealing with famous teachers and Confucians.
During the banquet, Sanniang talked about the matter of the official gentry receiving food in one, and many of the people present had seen the Shandong Road military horse drill, and Sanniang's great military might was still vivid, so naturally they didn't dare to say anything, and they all smiled again and again.
After the banquet, Sanniang invited Kong Duanyou and several famous gentry and businessmen on Shandong Road to discuss a major matter alone. Kong Duanyou gave up the flower hall and asked Sanniang to discuss with everyone. Seeing that everyone was there, Sanniang ordered Lu Junyi to take out a thing, but everyone saw that it was a burden, and there was a bag of things like ash powder inside, only to see Sanniang personally add water, and ordered someone to take sand and mix in, after stirring, ordered someone to find a few bricks, smeared the mixed sand plaster on it, glued a few bricks, and then smeared a layer on the surface of the brick, about a few minutes thick.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, and Sanniang said with a smile: "Since the princes have vigorously supported me in the matter of the officials and gentry paying for food, I, Hu Lan, will naturally not forget the kindness of the princes." Here's a fortune to make a fortune, just for you. ”
As soon as they heard that there was a way to make a fortune, people including Kong Duanyou were all dazzled, although many of them were Confucian students, but within the Song Dynasty, it was not a shame to be a scholar in business, and even great writers such as Cai Jing had many business ventures, so Kong Duanyou and others did not have the kind of fake Qinggao that later scholars.
Sanniang pointed to the plaster and continued: "The name of this thing is cement, which is obtained by calcining lime, clay and other materials, the materials required are simple, and the production is not complicated, but the use is great. This material can be bonded to masonry, and the masonry wall and pavement are extremely hard, which is much cheaper than using glutinous rice and wheat straw to do bonding. I want to hand over this material method to the public, in the future the public can set up more workshops to make cement, in the future I Shandong Road to overhaul the official road, the city wall, the people in the future to build houses to use this thing, this is a financial road. ”
Kong Duanyou and the others were surprised and delighted when they heard this, but they saw that the cement was sticky and not yet dry, and they didn't know what the effect was. Sanniang saw everyone's doubts, so she smiled and said: "You can put these bricks outside the house, and after they dry early tomorrow morning, you can know their effectiveness." ”
That night, Sanniang stayed in the Confucian Mansion and didn't say anything all night. In the early morning of the next day, Kong Duanyou and others couldn't wait to see the bricks, and sure enough, after one night, the bricks and stones were cemented very firmly, and the layer of plaster on the surface was also extremely smooth and flat, and extremely hard.
After everyone saw it, they were naturally overjoyed, only because of this time to build the city wall, build houses or use clay bonding, and the city wall of large households or important places in the imperial court will use glutinous rice and wheat straw and other mixed bonding materials, clay bonding is not firm, and glutinous rice and other things are extremely expensive, is to have cement and other things, it will definitely replace the traditional bonding materials soon, but I don't know how to make this thing, and it costs geometrically.
At that moment, everyone came to see Sanniang excitedly, Sanniang saw everyone in the flower hall, saw the color on everyone's faces, and already knew that they all understood the benefits of cement, and said with a smile: "This cement production is not complicated, and the cost is not expensive, if it is manufactured, it will be affordable for ordinary people in the future." Everyone was overjoyed, and immediately Sanniang handed over the book made of cement to everyone.
Kong Duanyou and others were overjoyed when they got the cement method, Sanniang looked at the hearts of this group of people and thought: "It is still the Song Dynasty where industry and commerce flourished, and both scholars and businessmen have the concept and mind of doing business, and they have not been brainwashed by the false Taoism of Zhu Xi and others in the Southern Song Dynasty, so it is quite easy for them to change in the direction of capitalists." ”
After explaining the cement matter, Kong Duanyou and others wanted Sanniang or the government to take some shares in this cement business and share the dividends in the future, but Sanniang shook her head and refused, Sanniang said: "This thing is a good thing that benefits the people, if I or the officials of the town guard government participate in it, the dividends will inevitably be increased to the goods, in this way, the price of this cement will increase, this cement is a new thing, which is not conducive to the promotion and use of this thing, so I and the town guard government or local governments will not participate in it, All of them are run by the private sector, and the government only collects commercial taxes according to the quality and price of goods. ”
Hearing that Sanniang was so high-spirited, Kong Duanyou and others were even more five-body to the ground, and at that moment Kong Duanyou invited Sanniang to continue to live in Confucius, and only waited for the day of the sacrifice to Confucius three days later, and then participated in the sacrifice to Kong.
In the seventh year of Xuanhe, on August 27, this day is the day of worshiping Confucius, Sanniang has fasted and bathed in the Confucian Mansion, prepared for three days, got up early in the morning to change clothes, changed into men's Confucian clothes, and did not show people in women's clothes.
Kong Duanyou and others were relieved to see Sanniang showing people in men's Confucian clothes, they were afraid that a group of Confucian scholars who sacrificed Confucius would suddenly have a woman in women's clothes who were too abrupt, and at this moment Sanniang took the initiative to change men's clothes, which also saved a lot of embarrassment.
After all the bunches stopped, Kong Duanyou led everyone to the Confucian Temple to worship Confucius, and when they came to the temple, they saw that thousands of Confucian students had been lined up outside the temple. Seeing the arrival of Sanniang, Kong Duanyou and others, there were already ritual music drummers blowing the sacrificial music, and more than 100 Confucian students in the venue danced the Bayu dance according to the ancient style.
There are a lot of red tape festivals for sacrificing holes, in addition to ceremonial music, singing and dancing, the most important agenda of sacrificing Confucius is three offerings, the chief priest Kong Duanyou will first dress up and wash his hands before going to the Confucius incense case in the Confucian temple to bow to the incense, bowing when the man wants the left hand in front and the right hand in the back, and Sanniang is a woman, so he first sacrificed to Confucius The woman's right hand is in front and the left hand is behind. Since then, women have also participated in the sacrifice hole, and the women's etiquette is based on the etiquette made by Sanniang on the day.
The so-called three offerings are divided into initial offerings, sub-offerings and final offerings. The first offering of the silk jue, the silk is yellow silk, the jue refers to the antique wine glass, by the official will be enshrined to the incense case, the chief priest reads and offers the sacrificial text, and then all the participants bow to the statue of Confucius, and recite the "Confucius praise" together. Both the sub-offering and the final offering are incense offerings and wine, and the sub-dedication officials and the final offering officials respectively offer incense and wine on the incense table, and the procedure is equivalent to the initial offering.
After the final offering, Sanniang recited the sacrificial text written by herself. Everyone was amazed when they heard it, they didn't want this heroine from the green forest to have such a literary talent, but what kind of sacrificial text?
The sacrificial text has clouds: But in the year of Yisi, on the birthday of the ancestor Confucius, I would like to use fragrant flowers, wine and fruits, dance and music, and pay tribute to the spirit of the master and the oath of all saints. His words said: Where did heaven and earth come from? Where do the people live? And the real life, the same is not continued. Yin and yang are intertwined, and the five elements are mixed. All things are alcohol, respectful and disciplined. Tang Wu reform, should be Shun people. Only virtue is supplemented, respect virtue and protect the people. Water can be covered, and the people are noble and light. If you don't have faith, you can't stand, go to eat and go to the soldiers. Towering Confucius, the holy way is clear. Revive the ritual music and turn the tide. He has reached the people, and he has given to the people. But the virtue of the saint is eternal and eternal. The way of heaven is strong, and the way of earth is supple. Humanity, benevolence, and civilization in the world. Astronomical observation, human culture becomes. Sincerity and righteousness, repair Qi Zhiping. Benevolence and love for the people, integrity and justice. Germany and France help each other, and the best is known. Snobbery, not stained and clean. The gentleman has nine virtues, advancing and retreating. Etiquette and righteousness are disciplined, and each is right. After the order of the country, Kunning Qianqing. Heaven and man are beautiful, body and mind are harmonious. Family harmony is prosperous, and country harmony is strong. Heaven and people are happy, and they are happy together. Harmony and harmony, happiness forever. Fu Wei is still feasting!
After reading a sacrificial text, Kong Duanyou and others were secretly praised. After the final sacrifice, Confucian scholars from all over the country stepped forward in turn to worship incense and kowtow, and finally the sacrifice was completed.
