Chapter 2 Wine Tasting (2)
It's not about debunking, if you want people to take a fancy to it, you have to come up with something.
Simon Shi let him reveal his identity, and he didn't want to hide it, and said: "The two are ......"
"In Xia Qingyuan County, Cheng Zhang Shuzhi, he is from Hanoi Xu Yougong." Zhang Shuzhi introduced.
Zhang Shuzhi is very pitiful now, a small official with sesame grains, although Ximen's lion position is not high, but he is a close confidant of the prince, so he speaks very politely. But he is not sad yet, it is Xu Yougong who is sad to urge, and his name is Xu Hongmin. Li Wei's name also has a Hong character, the eldest mother's, dare to use the same word as the emperor as the name? I had to change it and change it to this name.
"I listened to what the two of you said just now, and there is some truth, if you want to write a note, I will go to visit Qiu Shilang immediately, and ask him to present your book to Your Majesty."
At first, he also thought that the emperor's suggestions were very good, short-term, medium-term, long-term, people's, Tibetan's, military, and national finances, but after hearing the two of them discuss, he also felt that it was inappropriate. For example, this law is very difficult to work in the first place.
Like Tang Law, there are all kinds of regulations on marriage, what is seven, what is not married with the same surname, and so on. If you want to investigate, the emperor Tailu married a little mother and came back as a wife, first of all, he had to re-whip dozens of sticks. And then forcibly take a break. But okay?
Another example is the Jacket Cultists, after death, the dog must be allowed to eat the meat on the corpse, and the remaining bones can be buried, and even the marriage is even more chaotic, preferring to marry the mother and sister of their own daughter rather than marry an outsider. How do you use Tang Law to sanction?
He was thinking about his thoughts, but Zhang Shuzhi and Xu Yougong didn't care, they immediately asked the store for paper and pencils, and found a private room, both of them were very talented, and wrote out the thoughts in their hearts, and then said respectfully: "Trouble Taicang Order." ”
"No trouble," Simon said, getting up and leaving.
It was getting dark, and there were few pedestrians on the street.
In the Tang Dynasty, the two capitals imposed a ban on the night, the sunrise beat the drum and the bell, the doors of the fangfang and the city gate were opened, and the sunset struck Yu, and all the people had to go home immediately, wander the streets, and grab the twenty sticks. If it is a woman, it is even more miserable, the women of the Tang Dynasty are more chalky than later, but they can't be chalky enough to let you hang out at night. That's it~
But the law is the law, for example, it is impossible for the people to stay in the house one by one when it is hot, the rich are better, there is a small cottage or something, the poor are also very crowded, and the heat will also heat people to death. I have to come out to enjoy the coolness. So soon after the ban on the night, it became a forbidden main road, and the doors of the workshops were closed, but the small wine shops, snack bars, or small brothels of the workshops were still open. The patrolling guards also turned a blind eye when they saw the people walking around the square. This is not like what most people in the world later thought, when the night came, the two capitals became lifeless.
But there are still many inconveniences, the population decreased sharply in the early days, the housing prices in the two capitals were cheap, and there were more and more people, and Qing officials like Qiu Renjie had to choose a place far away from the imperial city to buy a house. Wait until the sunrise to beat the drum out of the door, and arrive at the Tianjin Bridge to estimate the three poles on the day. Don't go to court, you have already taken off the chicken hat. There is also Xiangping Kangfang, which is the red light district of Chang'an, but in winter, the sun begins to set at four o'clock in the afternoon. Even if you spend the night, you can't go to the prostitute at three o'clock?
Prostitutes are not a reason, but no matter what the officials and the common people are, there will always be old age, sickness, death, marriage, and marriage, and if the officials don't mention it, the people are not allowed to celebrate. If it is a south, a north, an east and a west, and it is spread out until winter, it is not four o'clock out of the workshop, but at four o'clock you have to enter the workshop, it is difficult to disperse the banquet at one o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise there is no carriage, and you will definitely not be able to go back.
Another example is the refugees in the past few years, in order to let the refugees eat, you have to let a group of refugees into the city, these refugees cannot be put in the workshop casually, and they cannot be driven out of the city at night. And what to do?
There are all kinds of inconveniences in this law, so the ban is getting looser and looser, and after arriving in the Middle and Tang Dynasty, the night ban is basically just a look, and even the east and west markets of the two capitals are like Yangzhou, and the night market is opened.
Therefore, at night, even on the main street, there are still people, but if you have to bring a token or a certificate of identity, and the guards will patrol it, you must find an excuse, and you can't openly say that I am going to prostitute and eat wine, and then I will have to weigh twenty sticks.
However, ordinary people are afraid of many things, and when night comes, at most they walk around the door of their homes, and then go into the house to sleep.
In fact, open cities like Yangzhou and other southern parts of the Yangtze River can't be banned, and they have not been implemented directly, and the city gate has to be closed at night, and in the city, you can do whatever you want.
When he arrived at the gate of the fang, even the Ximen lion had to make up a reason, and the guards opened the corner gate, mounted his horse, and went straight to Qiu Renjie's house.
Qiu Renjie was also eating wine at home.
Although it was drizzling, it was a June day after all, and I was wearing only a single coat, drinking slowly while thinking about my thoughts.
All the things that the emperor said at the court meeting today hit the nail on the head of the country. This is a good thing, but the current court may not necessarily achieve good things. Some people with good intentions, if they are hindered by death, no matter how good things are, they will also do bad things for you.
Even if it is like recruiting talents and frugality, you want to recruit virtuous people, what is virtuous? What is talent? Besides, His Majesty also wants to introduce good people from poor families on a large scale. This has advantages, the first is to use talents in an eclectic manner, so that more useful talents will enter the vision of the imperial court and serve the country. The second uses the cold door to alleviate the crises and contradictions brought about by the gap between the rich and the poor, as well as the dissatisfaction of the lower classes. But if you have the heart, push it, so that Your Majesty's edict can become a dead letter, and if you push it again, you can make many wealthy families think that Your Majesty is dissatisfied with them and stand on the opposite side of Your Majesty.
Thrift is in the palace, the same is not simple, the palace is easy to put away, and the palace is easy to do, but what is the use of thrift? How many chamberlains can best meet the needs of the palace? If you don't do it well, it can make life in the palace extremely miserable, and the servants in the palace complain one by one.
But the emperor's intentions are good, and the approach is also right, he is the emperor, and he is in charge of the general direction, just like fighting with the army, issue an order, how many soldiers will be led to a certain place, and how many soldiers will be led to a certain place, and soldiers will be required for specific operations.
Therefore, the issuance of these ten articles has become the responsibility of Qiu Renjie and Liu Renliang.
When night fell, the old butler came over and said, "Ah Lang, let the servant heat up the dishes." ”
"Good ......" Qiu Renjie replied casually, picked up the small wine glass again, took a sip, and continued to think about his thoughts.
After a while, the dish was hot, Qiu Renjie was still thinking and meditating, His Majesty said too much, and there were too many involved, so he had to think carefully.
At this time, Simon Shimen came to the door and asked to see him.
Qiu Renjie was surprised and said, "Ximenjun, why haven't you left the Eastern Capital yet?" ”
"It just so happened that His Majesty ascended the throne and stayed for a few more days."
"It's not good to do that...... Qiu Renjie shook his head and said, "You, Yao Yuanchong, and Wei Yuanjun are all His Majesty's original henchmen, and sooner or later they will be reused." But at this time, the Emperor and the Queen Mother are still in control, and His Majesty and his own popularity are still slightly inferior in comparison. Therefore, when His Majesty ascended the throne, he only talked about state affairs and did not issue any decrees to remove him. You...... Wait-and-see. ”
It's that you didn't leave in Luoyang, waiting for His Majesty to take the initiative to announce your promotion.
"Qiu Shilang, I don't have it."
"It's not you who say it, it's some people who say it."
"Yes, I did something wrong, I will go out of the city and return to Qinzhou early tomorrow morning."
"Since you're here, accompany me to a glass of water bar."
"Dare not obey fate"...... Ximen Shi didn't see Li Wei, he heard a lot of rumors, he didn't know how credible, and he didn't know the situation in the court very well, so he just stayed and took out the news from Qiu Renjie's mouth. After eating a glass of wine, he asked, "Why did the Emperor Tailu issue an edict?" ”
"It's not your business, it's too late, you don't need to mention it. But let me tell you, this is the result of compromise. ”
"Nine"
"See how the state is selling food this year?"
"It's gone, a bucket of millet is only ten wen, a bucket of wheat is only thirteen wen, and a bucket of rice is only twenty wen. However, it is still a bit expensive, Qinghai will have a bumper harvest this year, therefore, I came to the imperial court mainly to dispatch and write books, and there is no need to save much grain at this price in the national warehouse, so as not to produce unnecessary waste and raise the price of grain. ”
"yes, okay." The price of grain is cheap, and it is not good for the income of the peasants, but a dozen wen is the most suitable price, and the people will not starve to death if they cultivate a little harvest. But he thought of one more thing and said: "That's not necessarily, since you mentioned this matter in the book, then you don't have to leave tomorrow, and I will take you to Zhongshu." ”
"Autumn Squire ......"
"I thought of one thing just now, the normal price of grain cannot reserve grain, but Your Majesty said something in the court today, not only the Western Turks, but also the Eastern Turks may also have signs of treachery. I haven't heard of the specific news, but you know that His Majesty has never been untargeted. Once there is a change in the Turks on both sides, the country will use a large number of troops against the north and the west, and if there is no grain in several reserve granaries, the price of grain will be even higher at that time. ”
"How do they teach me to ...... new victory?"
"There is nothing to dare to, because Li Jingxuan misled the country, although he won, it was also a tragic victory. In addition, there were two years of early love, the loss of troops, and the empty treasury. In this group of Hu people, there are always some who are determined to change. ”
"Oh, by the way, I met two people today." As he spoke, he handed the sparse music written by Zhang Shuzhi and Xu Yougong to Qiu Renjie.
looked at it and snorted coldly: "Broad view." ”
With the Tao and chalk virtue as the mainstay, supplemented by the law, doesn't Your Majesty know? What about executable people? This requires that every official be a man of morality. Is it impossible to expect every official not to be corrupt, not to be corrupt, not to take bribes, to be fair, and to have a clean and high style? Hope for the sun to come out of the west!
As for Zhang Shuzhi's book, he didn't pay attention to it. His Majesty did this to give the Hu people a grain and fruit to eat, and finally all of them were integrated, or let the Han people account for more than 80 percent, and the border was peaceful. This is Your Majesty's ambition, to turn it into chalky morality, Your Majesty has not said it? It sounds better than what Zhang Shuzhi wrote, but that's saying, you can't really do it. See, how long did the Turks turn it into a chalky man? Otherwise, when Taizong was in power, he would have let them exterminate the clan a long time ago.
This breathing, the population has increased over the years, and it has begun to be restless again.
was about to throw away the fold, but suddenly remembered, and said: "Ximen Jun, do you mean that Your Majesty is recruiting talents, and these two people are a small county inheritance, one is cloth clothes, which is used as a wood for commercial shoes legislation?" ”
"Nine"
"Let's go over and have a look." It's a standing wood, at least to have a medium or above level of learning, otherwise you can't just recruit a person to reuse, and then say to the world, to start reusing talents.
The housekeeper said, "Ah Lang, you haven't eaten dinner yet." ”
"Come back to eat ......" After speaking, the two got on their horses and disappeared into the night. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
