Chapter 4 Divorce? No problem
As the saying goes: no one can see if you don't read for a day, if you don't read for a week, you will become coarse when you speak, and if you don't read for a month, your IQ will lose to a pig. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Meng Jiucheng's initial idea is to draw strength from books, after all, in later generations, he also graduated from college and did idle work, but he also read books on the Internet, and he dabbled in a wide range of fields.
Now, inheriting the memory of the deity, although he is a loser, he has also received seven or eight years of education in the Song Dynasty, and he is considered a scholar with a cultural foundation, and it seems more reasonable to take the road of becoming an official in the imperial examination.
Moreover, through Jin Xiao's relay and the attitude of the county magistrate, Meng Jiucheng felt that if he changed his career, he was afraid that he would disappoint his parents and officials. Connections, this is also the thinking that Meng Jiucheng brought from later generations.
Don't look at it as just a magistrate, as the saying goes, the seven-grade sesame official, but the county order and the magistrate of the Song Dynasty are not the same concept. In order to strengthen the control of local political power, starting from the first year of Qiande, the emperor directly appointed the Beijing official to take his own official to take charge of the administration of a county, that is, the so-called county governor.
Generally speaking, the magistrate is generally a big man who is gilded or degraded from above, and there is usually a title in front of him that determines his grade, such as (Dali Temple Commentator knows a certain county matter). Such a magistrate is at least a second-class jinshi, and Gen Hongmiaozheng is from a background, and he may be transferred back to the central government or promoted to an official position at any time, and he has a great future.
Although the current Baoxing Zhixian Jia She, he has gone through several twists and turns, and he is an official who has been made up for the shadow, and he is not generally comparable to the officials who entered the imperial examination. However, the times created heroes, the Mongol invasion of the south, the decline of the Jin Dynasty, and the turbulent situation in the Huaihai region of Shandong.
In the future, he may show off to others with his chest puffed up: "There are people above us!" Meng Jiucheng thinks like this, no matter whether you can use it in the future or not, leave a good impression first, don't offend.
Considering this, Meng Jiucheng looked at the "Book of Shang", "Notes on the Collection of Four Books" and "Mengxi Writings" that he had just bought. At that time, Shi Miyuan abused his power, and for the sake of political needs, he wantonly improved the status of science, and the imperial examination questions also began to revolve around science, and Meng Jiucheng naturally wanted to conduct targeted review.
Blame me? After just reading it for a long time, Meng Jiucheng felt impatient and threw the book aside.
Classical Chinese, vertical typesetting, and no punctuation marks, is really not used to it, and it is exhausting. Otherwise, the popularity of ancient culture is not high, there is no sentence reading ability of "deviating from the scriptures" taught by Mr., and lack of common sense in ancient astronomy and geography rules and regulations, it is inevitable that there will be ambiguity when reading books, and it is strange that you don't read it!
In the final analysis, it is still the living habits of later generations that dominate, and although it is integrated with the memories of the master, there are still some things that need to be adapted. Well? Could it be that when we should struggle, Ya's procrastination has been committed again?
The sun is warm and very comfortable to shine on. The smell of food wafted from the stove room, and Liuqiao had already eaten it with the rice bowl in his hand. Meng Jiucheng also seemed to have forgotten his ambition to pursue a career in the imperial examination, and moved his chair to the courtyard, bathed in the sunlight filtered by the full ozone layer.
Anyway, with more than a dozen pieces of money, according to the cross-era exchange rate, it is worth thousands of dollars, and just eating and drinking is enough for a few months! It was miserable when I first crossed, and everything I wanted to buy was called the same name - I couldn't afford it.
Half-asleep and half-awake, the knock on the door woke Meng Jiucheng up again. Damn*, what day is it that someone always disturbs his dreams?
When he opened the courtyard door, Meng Jiucheng saw the person who came, and he knew what was going on.
"Zhou Chaofeng, Fourth Brother Ma, please come in, please come in." Meng Jiucheng said kind words and let the person into the house.
When Meng Jiucheng was fourteen years old, his parents set him a family affair, and he was the daughter of the local Xu family. Both were young, and they only exchanged marriage letters and tokens, but did not agree on a date for marriage. Meng Jiucheng's parents died, and he didn't study well, so the Xu family regretted it. When Meng Jiucheng ruined the family business, the Xu family took the divorce seriously.
A few days ago, Xu Yuanwai entrusted this Zhou Chaofeng to find Meng Jiucheng. I didn't want Meng Jiucheng to scold him, but he only said that the Yue family hated the poor and loved the rich, so they would not let him get his wish, and drove Zhou Chaofeng out.
This time, Zhou Chaofeng came to persuade again, but he also used some money, and brought Ma Si, an idle man with a big waist and a round waist, who was quite threatening, probably because he was afraid that Meng Jiucheng would push him away again.
It's just that this time, to Zhou Chaofeng's surprise, Meng Jiucheng was polite, neither scolding the street nor doing anything.
Entering the house and sitting down, Zhou Chaofeng explained his intention again, Meng Jiucheng's expression did not change much, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Since Xu Yuanwai is worried that his daughter will suffer hardships and suffer from marriage and be intolerant of poverty, then Li is reluctant to get married, and it is not harmonious in the end." ”
"Brother He is right." Zhou Chaofeng saw that Meng Jiucheng's words were loose, and he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and persuaded him: "As the saying goes: a twisted melon is not sweet. If Brother He agrees to withdraw from the marriage, so as not to be affected, the bride price can be doubled! ”
In ancient times, it was illegal to withdraw from marriage, and if Meng Jiucheng insisted on refusing, then Xu Yuan had no other way than to go through the lawsuit by the official. Once the official is passed, it is unknown how the verdict will be made, but the reputation of this Miss Wu family is not good.
Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "The original bride price was one hundred yuan, and the double refund was two hundred yuan. It stands to reason that this is also kind. Well, I agreed to withdraw from the marriage, and the reason for the relationship was also written according to what Xu Yuanwai said. It's just that if I use a meeting, I'll have to add another fifty times. ”
In the Southern Song Dynasty, ordinary people have always had money on them, which has always been a limit. First, the government does not allow it, and second, think about what it is like to have a thousand one-dollar coins on you. The government stipulates that more than the usual buying and selling, you have to use "huizi", which is considered a less thorough banknote, which may be better called a credit coupon, and the denomination on it varies.
As precious metals, gold and silver are not circulated among the people. If the common people want to spend silver, they must first go to a certain "gold and silver exchange shop" (exchange it for copper coins. According to historical records, there were more than 100 such shops in Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. If you take the silver to the countryside and there is no place to exchange it, it will be like going to a rural farmhouse with a bank card in the future, and you can't buy a bowl of noodles to eat if you have money.
Although the Southern Song Dynasty government stipulated that "huizi" and copper coins could be used together, the printing volume of "huizi" gradually increased, and depreciation was naturally an economic law. For example, four or five years ago, the "Huizi" could be exchanged for about 760 copper coins per penny; Now, each of them can only be exchanged for 700 copper coins.
Zhou Chaofeng ran a shop, and he immediately understood the truth of what Meng Jiucheng said, and couldn't help but be a little surprised by Meng Jiucheng's shrewdness and insight, but soon nodded and agreed: "But I have to withdraw from the marriage, how can Xu Yuanwai care about these dozens of money!" Okay, okay, I'll go and talk to Xu Yuan here, Brother He'er don't regret and resent! ”
