[The third update, ask for red tickets, collect]

The wedding team walked in front of him, and Han Gang looked at it and wondered in his heart.

But whenever a rich and noble family marries a daughter and gives a dowry, it is also a custom at this time to walk around the street with thirty-six large boxes and show off. But he looked at the boxes all dangling, and the men carrying the boxes were also relaxed, obviously all empty. The county lord marries a daughter, so a county lord, why is this dowry so shabby?

The marriage habits of the Northern Song Dynasty were different from those of later generations of China, and it can also be said to be similar to that of later generations of India, basically the women paid money, and the man's dowry was far less than the dowry. People who have a little bit of property don't dare to treat their daughters badly, for fear of marrying and suffering losses, and the dowry will be like flowing water.

When I was still in Qinzhou, the people who wanted Han Gang to come to propose marriage listed the dowry list one by one, and asked the matchmaker to hand it over with the famous post. As Han Gang heard Wang Hou say that day, Feng Jingfeng, who once earned the name of a golden retriever in Shaanxi, was born, and after he was admitted to the top prize, a relative wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, so he invited him to his home and put hundreds of thousands of dowry boxes in front of him one by one.

On the other hand, if a family marries a daughter and does not give a full dowry, the in-laws will never have a good face, beating and scolding is light, and it is common to take a break directly. Nowadays, if any family has more daughters, parents will wait to cry! Seeing that the daughter who was born was drowned directly in the basin is not surprising, especially in Jiangnan, the folk customs are extravagant, and the cost of weddings and funerals is particularly high, because I don't want to bankrupt the daughter's dowry more than ten years later, how many parents throw them into the water after giving birth to a baby girl.

Therefore, Han Gang felt strange when he looked at this dowry team, could it be that the county lord could put such a big score? Leave an empty box out and walk? He casually asked a man beside him whose face was longer than a horse: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, is it the dowry in the box?" Why do I look at more than 30 boxes, and none of them seem to be heavy!? ”

Lu Ming pulled Han Gang's cuffs hard from behind, Han Gang's eyes were good, but it was embarrassing to ask.

Sure enough, the horse-faced man looked at Han Gang, completely seeing the expression of the country bun, with a look of disdain: "It's good to show that the daughter of someone else's family is a money-loser, but the daughter of this clan family can collect money!" ”

If you don't understand, just ask, even if he is despised, Han Gang doesn't feel any shame, his self-esteem is not so fragile. He smiled slightly and nodded, which was regarded as thanking, but the horse-faced man looked stunned.

Lu Ming squeezed to Han Gang's side and explained to him: "Xuanzu gave birth to three brothers, Taizu, Taizong, and King Wei, who had something bad. According to Taizu's original will, their descendants are all imperial relatives. The Taizong Dynasty and the Zhenzong Dynasty were fine, but after arriving in the Renzong Dynasty, there were more and more clans, and they became poorer and poorer, and those who did not succeed paid attention to marrying their daughters. Marrying a clan relative, a sanitation official is indispensable [Note 1], and there are many people who are willing to pay for an official body. ”

He turned his head again and asked the horse-faced man: "Brother Tai, what is the price of a county lord's dowry now?" Is it still 10,000? ”

The horse-faced man laughed: "What year is that old yellow calendar?" 10,000 is the price code when the emperor blesses! It's not that valuable anymore, but now it's 5,000 and you still have to find it. Zongnu is cheaper, and she can take it home for a thousand. ”

The wedding procession walked to the gate of the city, did not go out of the city, turned to the north, a gong and drum sounded, the bridegroom rode a horse, protected a sedan chair with red decorations, and walked in front of everyone. Han Gang looked at the groom's official, looking left and right, how could he think that this groom, who had a little gray beard, should be more than forty years old, to say the least. But Wang Sunchen's example was placed in front, so that Han Gang didn't dare to guess, maybe it was a young man.

"It turned out to be Xiao Crude Medicine!" The horse-faced man recognized the appearance of the groom's official, and immediately spat indignantly: "That bird is forty-eight years old, and he dares to marry a seventeen or eighteen, and he doesn't see when his things under him have worked!" ”

Turning around, with a lewd smile on his face, he said to Han Gang again: "Xiao Bailang's family has been a eunuch since he was a child, and in order to facilitate self-government, he opened a crude medicine shop, but it was useless. On weekdays, in order to cover up, he often comes and goes to Little Sweet Water Lane, and he doesn't forget to carry a few horns in his sleeves. He thought he was covering it up well, and he bragged everywhere that he didn't stop all night, but he didn't want his bottom line to be spread all over by the bitches in Sweetwater Lane. Hey...... Tonight, in the cave room, Xiao Crude Medicine will probably use the antlers that have not been cut in his store in order to show his strength! ”

Ridicule is ridicule, but Han Gang looked at the horse-faced man's expression with envy. He asked, "Xiao Bailang should be a businessman who deals in crude drugs, right?" Doesn't the clan even care if the in-laws are merchants? ”

"What do you care about? Isn't it enough to have money? The horse-faced man sneered: "Jinshi refuses to marry the clan, for fear of delaying the future, and the officials of Yin Bu also refuse to marry the clan, they are also afraid of delaying the future-their own father." That is, some businessmen are willing to marry a family and become an official. The official has to pay money, and he has to pay money to marry the clan, and he has to pay money on the left and right, of course, choose the one with the head. ”

Is this addition a married Hun family, or does it refer to an official body? Han Gang sneered, most likely the former.

"It's like a vat of Zhang's family, right?" Lu Ming said.

"The big bucket Zhang family has already been defeated...... "The horse-faced man's eyes also fell on Lu Ming's head when he looked at the soil buns, and the corners of his mouth were crooked as if he was mocking, "But his family has married many county lords." During the time of Renzong, a large family married more than 30 county lords in total, Xiao Zhang County Ma, died two county lords Hun family, and the third time he married a county lord. Although it is now defeated, there is still a large bucket of Zhang Mansion in the south of Mahang Street, and the seventy-two main stores are in the top 20. ”

"Can this be lost?" Lu Ming shook his head and sighed a few times, and then asked, "Which family has more county lords now?" ”

"Hat Tian family! It is said that he married more than a dozen county lords! Zhengdan worships the ancestors, and under the god of the ancestors of the Tian family, he knelt down on a county horse. ”

"Why are they all county horses?" Liu Zhongwu listened in the back, and also heard interest, and squeezed forward to ask.

The horse-faced man looked back at Liu Zhongwu, looking like Han Gang and his gang, and explained to him: "The princess and the county master are few, and they are close to the palace, the empress dowager and the empress dowager are all watching, and the businessmen must have no share, they are all married to the Xungui family, and all the people who can be bought with money are the county lords and clan daughters." ”

"Those who sell vats and hats can become married to the heavenly family." Liu Zhongwu shook his head, the emperor was a god-like figure in the sky in the eyes of remote ministers like them. Thinking that the emperor's relatives were all married to merchants, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"The big bucket and the hat are all things that happened when the Zhang family and the Tian family got home in the early days. Later, when he made a fortune, which of the two will still make the old business his main business? ”

"So what are they going to do now? Open a restaurant? Han Gang still remembered that the horse-faced man said that the big barrel Zhang Zhai Restaurant could be ranked among the seventy-two main stores in Beijing, and it was ranked in the top 20 and placed in the future generations. Five-star can't run, and it goes without saying that the daily progress is gold.

The horse-faced man compared his little thumb, "That's a small head!" You can also earn a little bit from the old business! There is also a share of buying land and collecting rent in the sixteen counties of Kaifeng Prefecture. But it's more about lending and earning interest! ”

Han Gang was stunned: "Lending?!" ”

The horse-faced man glanced at Han Gang very strangely, no matter how dirty the bun is, he shouldn't even know about it, every military state in the world should be the same, "Which one does business now and doesn't lend?" How can you get someone else's land and property without lending him money? The horse-faced man looked left and right, turned his head sideways, and said in a mysterious low voice: "The clan family does not dare to come out to do business, for fear of losing the face of the heavenly family." But the in-laws are fine. The rest of the prince's family is now handed over to their in-laws to release the account. And relatives, too. Cao and Gao, which one is not like this?! ”

Hearing this, Han Gang became more and more optimistic about Wang Anshi's results. Look at who Wang Anshi wants to steal money from?! The clan, relatives, and the mother and grandmother of the Son of Heaven Zhao Ji! Just one seedling loan has offended such a group of people, and it is strange if the law change does not fail!

Of course, the emperor wanted to enrich the country and strengthen the army, because the Great Song Dynasty was his foundation. But the relatives and courtiers around him didn't want to watch the money that originally belonged to him flow into the treasury, and Han Gang didn't think they would have the consciousness of ruining the family and relieving the need. The Great Song Dynasty is an official family, and the copper coins are their own, and such an idea is the norm.

That's right! Han Gang suddenly remembered that in addition to the Qingmiao Method, the even-loss method was actually a little related to the wealthy businessmen in Tokyo, although he didn't have a chance to understand the specific interests in depth, but a 'move is expensive, and use the near and far', which is to stabilize prices and rob merchants of the opportunity to make money. And what about the clan relatives behind the merchants, what will they think about this?

The marriage between a wealthy merchant and a clan is definitely not a good thing, especially for the Fa-Changers! The most taboo thing about change is the turmoil in the capital, the capital is the center of gravity of the country, and once the capital is in turmoil, the whole country will not be stable. If the ruling class cannot suppress the civil strife, it is inevitable to sacrifice the initiators. With internal and external wind and rain, can this green seedling loan Wang Anshi still persevere? ! Han Gang didn't know if Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi had taken so much into account when they implemented the Qingmiao Loan, but he knew that it was not easy to deal with it at all.

Although from the memories brought by later generations, Han Gang knew that the cause of the Dao reform would not fail so quickly, as long as Wang Anshi could not kill the Quartet and eliminate all the opponents physically, and when the reform failed, the opposition that was now suppressed would fight back more violently. Shang Ying did it ruthlessly enough, killing the prince's master to sacrifice the flag, and the worst ending was the car cracking!

Han Gang is not optimistic about Wang Anshi's ending at all, even if he doesn't have the vague memories brought by his previous life, he can make a judgment based on the information he has learned now. Although the car will not crack, it is inevitable to lose his job, and at that time, it may be that the tree will fall and scatter. As far as Han Gang knew, Wang Shao's heart was already turning to wait until he triumphed from Hehuang, and then he was scheming with the Fa Changer.

The procession for marriage has all passed, and the royal street is once again filled with pedestrians. Han Gang said goodbye to the horse-faced man, and was about to go to the post station, when an excited voice came from out of nowhere in the crowd: "Have you heard!" I haven't heard of it! Wang Da invited the county! ”

Note 1: It is not the sanitation of the sanitation center, but the sanitation officers who surround and defend the Son of Heaven. In the old days, it was for the Son of Heaven to be guarded, and later it gradually became a false official position for the children of the clan and Qili.
