"I finally understand why you dare to offend Wang Quanbin," Zhao Kuangyin muttered.

"Weichen thinks that His Majesty is a holy monarch, so he has the courage, even if His Majesty is an emperor like Wu Zetian, Weichen will protect himself and not say anything. There is some courage, which is given by His Majesty, not the innate courage of Weichen. ”

"The imperial examination is a name system, you write a note and submit it."

"Whoa."

"And that playground, I heard there was a kind of shoe and skateboard."

"There is such a thing, the shoes are the idea that Weichen came up with temporarily, the skateboard is not the idea of Weichen, Mr. He has been to the north, and some half-fishermen and half-herders in the depths of Liaodong use this kind of skateboard to walk forward in winter, or hunt wrong, it should be more backward."

"Can they be used militarily?"

Song Jiu thought for a while and shook his head and said: "No, it's very rough, if you want to use it in the military, there are several conditions, the first technique can't keep up, it must be a more advanced skateboard, in order to cross the country, fly over obstacles, and advance from the hills on a large slope." Moreover, the soldiers themselves were armoured, armed, and burly, and the army marched for hundreds of miles. If it breaks down in the middle of the way, do you want these soldiers to stay on the snow and wait? You can't bring a ready-to-use skateboard. His Majesty asked, most of it was for the Northern Khitan and Northern Han? ”

"yes."

Even in winter, the snow may not be so thick, and there are many ground rocks exposed outside, which is not conducive to skateboarding. Unless His Majesty has the ability to expedition into the depths of the Khitan. But my dynasty has not yet unified the Central Plains, and that time is too early. So these two exist, so that skateboards can't be put on the military. Just look at the Khitan and you will know the way. They also rarely use troops in the depths of winter, don't they know about this thing? Inconvenience also. Speaking of Khitan, though. Wechen wanted to say something. Weichen dared to say one thing, His Majesty's intention was first in the south and then in the north. Once the world is unified, the strength is strong enough to confront the Khitan. But Weichen was worried about another thing, at this time, the Khitan king was a famous sleeping king, the lord was faint and mediocre, and the soldiers of our dynasty were the time when their combat effectiveness was the highest. If you take the idea of Weichen, it is better to attack the sixteen states of Youyun first, and then the Han will give up, they are just a small country. Barely protect your ears. According to the risk of the sixteen states of Youyun, and then slowly recover the Central Plains. ”

In fact, this is Chai Rong's strategy, but Chai Rong was also forced at that time, there was Li Jing in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was not Li Yu, although Hou Shu was Meng Chang at the time, but he did not become mediocre, both of them were difficult bones, so Chai Rong thought about it repeatedly. Turn the gun to deal with the Khitan. Although the sixteen states of Youyun were not collected, at least the three Guanying states were in their hands, otherwise the situation in the Song Dynasty would be even worse.

"It's not proper, if it's a fierce battle with the Khitan. It would be a long war, unlike Cao Cao's case. My strategy is still the policy of the Tang Dynasty, first the south and then the north. Otherwise, once a stalemate with the Khitan is formed. The best result is Cao Wei at most, and the result of bad is not good. No one could have predicted. ”

Song Jiu scratched his head.

The idea was not something he came up with, but from a previous life. But I believe that those people's military talent is definitely not as good as Zhao Kuangyin. Since Zhao Kuangyin is this strategy of first the south and then the north, it is inconvenient for him to say more. At least the Northern Song Dynasty unified the Central Plains and had a stable state, not as fragmented as before.

"So be it."

"Your Majesty's ......"

"I've made up my mind."

"Your Majesty, although the gentleman said that the horse is difficult to chase, you can know that mistakes can be corrected, and it is very good. Your Majesty, what is wrong among the heinous ones? ”

In ancient times, there were ten cardinal sins, and those sins committed must be unforgivable and unforgivable. Rebellion, rebellion, refers to the intentional destruction of the palace of Zongmiao, the mountain mausoleum, the evil rebellion, beating and murdering parents and grandparents, great disrespect, stealing the emperor's sacrificial supplies and forging imperial medicines, unfilial piety, abusing parents, marrying and having fun when keeping filial piety, and the latter will not be executed in the Song Dynasty, such as the son of the Eight Sages King, not harmonious, murdering the elders of the relatives or the woman beating her husband, but in the Song Dynasty, the woman beating her husband is not considered a ten evil, it can only be said to be a serious family ugliness, there is no way to discipline, and she will be demoted, such as Xia Zhu later. Injustice, officials kill each other, soldiers kill superiors, students kill teachers, and women remarry immediately after their husbands' deaths. Civil strife, adultery and rape between brothers and sisters or similar relatives, but in the Song Dynasty, only brothers and sisters were limited, and others were not counted, such as Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi, who were both suspected of adultery with their younger generations, and were not investigated. There is also the non-morality, murder of three members of a family for non-capital crimes, or dismemberment of people. Li Chuyun is not counted, he is a prisoner of war, and Wang Quanbin is not counted, because prisoners of war cannot be regarded as truly innocent people in this era. However, Wang Jixun's dismemberment of slaves and maids is a real unethical crime! Moreover, injustice is ranked in the top four or five of the heinous, and it is a very serious sin.

"I will send someone to keep an eye on Wang Jixun, don't mention this matter again." Zhao Kuangyin walked out of the city depressedly, originally wanted to teach this kid a lesson, but he didn't admit that he wanted to teach this kid a lesson in turn. Moreover, Song Jiu moved out of the heinous heinous, and Zhao Kuangyin couldn't distinguish it if he wanted to. Depressed, he sent someone to call Wang Jixun and knelt in front of his sister's portrait for an hour, you were all born to the same parents, why are there so many differences in the character of the two!

Chu Zhaofu said: "Okay, Song Jiu, you are the real gentleman." ”

Lao Chu was convinced.

"Envoy Chu, do you think I look like a gentleman? The gentleman is not touched, but he has a little bit of a relationship with the courtiers, I don't even dare to be a good person, what about the gentleman, Chu Si Envoy, don't scare me. ”

Chu Zhaofu thought about it, in the eyes of the world, a gentleman is always a square image, such as Lu Yuqing, such as Liu Wensuo, Song Jiu can't touch the edge, but thinking about it like this, Lao Chu is also sad, so is Liu Wensuo a gentleman? So who can be considered a true gentleman?

But he still whispered: "Your Majesty doesn't care about you, you don't want to mention this matter in the future." ”

"So what's the matter, it's a big deal that I don't want to be this judge, won't Your Majesty let me teach the house? Now it has not become the court, but it has become the court, can it leave me? And Hezhou, the imperial court doesn't need my taxes, doesn't it need my skills? However, Song Jiu really didn't want to mention it again, didn't mention it, but he could do it, and when he returned home, he called Guo and asked, "How are Qi Shaochun and Huang Qing temperamental?" Can I believe it? ”

"It is believed that the two of them are brave and enthusiastic."

"Guo Da, I want them to do something for me."

"Kuro. What's up. ”

"Have you heard of Wang Jixun's slave cut?"

"I heard."

"You let them stare at Wang Jixun, specifically at him. I don't know if they have the guts. ”

"Jiulang, Your Majesty doesn't want to deal with it. What's the use of you letting them stare at Wang Jixun? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, just keep an eye on it, if there is something special to report to me, they don't know if Lu Dao has the guts."

"It's just that you don't dare to mark people, but Jiuro ......"

"I know that things are important, just like I said a few words, but I didn't write a recital." Song Jiu said that this person was still alive. is still in the capital, I'm afraid that I will eat human flesh in the future, once the truth of eating human flesh is revealed, see how Zhao Kuangyin protects it.

A few days later, the Pan siblings arrived together.

When they met, Pan Weide smiled bitterly: "Brother-in-law, you are so bold." ”

Pan Li'er pinched Pan Weide desperately.

Song Jiu was stunned and asked, "What brother-in-law?" ”

"Mother will return to the capital the day after tomorrow, and send a messenger to let the domestic servants come back on horseback, let me inform you. Tomorrow will send a matchmaker to my house to pick up the grass post. ”

This is the official marriage proposal, but there are many things, and in this era of male power, the woman must send the straw post to the man first. The content of the grass post will indicate the names of the great-grandfathers, grandfathers, and fathers, family positions, and family property. and the name and date of birth. Hand it to the man for the man to ask for divination and prayer, and asking for divination is to calculate whether the two people are compatible. If the marriage still does not come to fruition, then pray and draw lots to ask for good luck, if it is a lot of bad luck, it will not work. Everything is good, even if it is improvised, the man sends the straw post to the woman, for the woman to ask for a prayer sign, to see if it is a woman's life. In fact, this is mostly a formality.

The following is important, the next detailed post, the situation of the family in more detail, including property, how much property, how much land, how much livestock, together to write out. Then write down the amount of the fixed bridal gift, the dowry price, and the financial gift. The bigger the family, the more particular it is.

If the woman has no objections, she will also reply to the post, indicating the situation at home and the dowry. If the man can't spend 100 yuan to marry a daughter-in-law, and the woman only accompanies 10 yuan in dowry, the man will not be happy.

Just like Pan Mei wanted to save face this time and wantonly asked for a dowry, the Song family agreed, if only a few thousand yuan of dowry came over at that time, Song Jiu would not speak, and Yuping would gossip. This is very important, and there are many family affairs that are ruined on this dowry and dowry.

After discussion, men and women meet, this article has absolutely no problem for Song Jiu and Pan Li'er.

In fact, there is no problem with the fine post, Pan Mei is really greedy for dowry? Now this is a precious daughter, can be greedy or not. Therefore, Pan Weide simply called his brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, don't pinch me, it hurts, Jiulang, you really can't ask Uncle Guo."

"Jiulang is a good person, but he is not like you."

"Little sister, don't defend him, I'm doing this for your good. Jiulang, do you know Lu Dao, yesterday Uncle Guo didn't know where Lu Dao heard that you impeached him, and he wanted to bring someone to settle accounts with you. Pulled by the soldiers. ”

"Then he'll come." Song Jiu said lightly. Wang Jixun didn't come, just find an excuse for himself, and then kick out his deed shares with the crime of unrighteousness, so as to save the time to look uncomfortable.

Pan Weide looked at his sister, and Pan Li'er also said: "Jiulang, what the eldest brother said is not unreasonable, your family business is not trivial now, so many students rely on you, and so many Yanai also rely on you, the money and silk that the people of Lianghe saved are also invested in the Hezhou industry, you can't have an accident." ”

"It's still my little sister who can talk."

"I know."

The Pan siblings left, and Yuping said, "It's finally done." ”

"Yuping, it's you who are the most disadvantaged."

"With Jiulang's words, what is the disadvantage of the slave family? Besides, you can't even stand the torture and killing of slaves and maids by your uncle, and the slave family will follow you in the future, and you can still treat the slave family badly. You say that the world is difficult to complete, and people cannot be greedy. It's like Jiulang, you are a high-ranking official, but you are related in your heart, because the wealth is too complete. ”

"These are all self-comforting words, it's better to do this, let's test the birth date first, and pray for a look." As he spoke, he ran to the library to find fortune-telling and divination books, many of which were donated by some wealthy people, including many fortune-telling books. Find out them and compare them with them, and the two of them measure the eight-character prayer sign, what to do, it can be regarded as a small compensation for Yuping, so that she can take the lead. Test the eight characters first, the two of them are very compatible, not a good luck, but also an auspicious. Pray again, draw the lot after praying, and when Jade Ping looks up, her face changes, it is actually a bumpy lot.

Needless to say, Song Jiu said, "Don't worry. ”

I thought to myself, wouldn't I be troubled, and then opened the signing book, and there was a line on it, the rain and snow were full of mud, the transaction was impassable, the disease was difficult to treat, the marriage was slow, and it was difficult to seek wealth. That is, this visa is drawn to ask for travel, it is not passable, and you can't travel. Ask if the disease is incurable and cannot be cured. I asked for money, but I couldn't ask for it. Asking for things can't be done. It's a first-class bad lot. But asking about marriage doesn't seem to be so evil, that is, marriage is a little slower, and it can be done, but there are many difficulties in the middle.

Then Song Jiu put down the sign holder and said, "I really can't believe it." ”

Yuping couldn't help laughing, if it was possible to say that their marriage was unhappy together, it was absolutely impossible to believe that their marriage was slow. In fact, this is Yuping's insistence, and it is also taking into account the feelings of the Pan family, otherwise Song Jiu can include Yuping in his door at any time. Besides, Zhao Kuangyin is as good as the word Mrs.

Song Jiudao: "Fortunately, whether you can believe it or not, it's not too evil, or you let Mother Li post it." ”

"Is there a rule?" Jade asked suspiciously. In the Song Dynasty, there was still a kind of rental system of concubines, giving a little money, in fact, it was sold to the man, and the man could also set up a banquet, but it was not as grand as a formal marriage, which was to be drawn. A few tables of private banquets, but also weddings, women must wear pink wedding makeup, if they wear red wedding makeup, they have to find a smoke. After five years, the contract expires and the woman can return to her parents' home. Even daughters who have been concubines are often more popular to remarry. After all, she doesn't attach so much importance to chastity, but a woman who is a concubine not only understands etiquette, but also manages housework and property. The people of the Song Dynasty are more realistic, such a woman will get it back, and the life of the young couple will be on the right track immediately, and even the training process will be omitted, why not? But Zhao Kuangyin said that if she is like a lady, Yuping will not have a contract period in her life.

What are the etiquettes of other concubines, there are really no relevant regulations, Song Jiu said: "Whatever, you just let Mother Li make a grass post, and we will do it together." ”

"You're messing around," Yuping said, but she pursed her lips and ran out of the city to find Li's mother, who laughed and scolded her for her nonsense, and happily wrote a post. In order to satisfy Yuping, they came nonsense, but instead of asking the matchmaker to have three media and six certificates, no one would impeach them. It's not the main thing, it's mostly the next day.

At dawn the next day, the Pan family's matchmaker came over.

This is also Tian's idea, in case the eight characters do not match, she does not need to come forward, and this family affair will fail. If it is a meeting, she will come to the capital herself to discuss it. And then I have to hire an intermediary matchmaker, that's still early. The matchmaker handed Pan Li'er's grass post, and Song Jiu invited Mr. Divination. Afraid that he would talk nonsense, Song Jiu gave him a big piece of silver, and then handed over his eight characters. When he received the money, he knew it. Everything is good and good......

God knows where the Dao Daji is, and a series of Ji made Song Jiu dizzy, but the Pan family's matchmaker was used to seeing it and didn't take it seriously. When the matchmaker goes back, it is the turn of the matchmaker of the Song family to appear, and she also has to send a grass post to the Pan family. It's not good here, but it's not good here...... (To be continued......)
