…… The main form of land rent in the Great Song Dynasty is rent in kind, which can be divided into two types: sub-rent and fixed rent. Subletting is the rent that the landlord pays in proportion to the total amount of harvest each year when the landlord leases the land. The more common one was the "split system", in which the landlord received half of the tenants' land products. Su Xun said in the "Jiayou Collection" volume 5 "Tian System" that the landlords and rich people "have a wide land, a wide range of connections, recruit floating customers, divide the cultivation of them, whip and drive slaves, and regard them as slaves...... And where the field enters, he has half of it, and the cultivator gets half of it"......

Hao Kang sat in the school's reading room reading a newspaper. Some people will look at him, and the reason for looking at him is certainly not that he is wearing a school uniform and has short hair like the students of the Great Song Dynasty. Hao Kang is tall, and although his appearance is still in the embarrassing period of boys, he can already see that he is handsome enough. In addition, he quietly looked at the newspaper, and it felt unusual.

In fact, Hao Kang was only educated by his mother, and reading books is a very serious thing. Even if you don't have to sit upright, you should have a stable posture, either you look carefully or you don't look at it. Father Hao Ren reads books like this on weekdays, and his performance is just a doorway. As for the description of the landlord in the "Da Song Daily", Hao Kang himself really has some feelings. When he was a child, he used to follow his father to the manor to collect rent, although he did not know how much rent he collected, the look of the serfs was similar to what was described in the newspaper.

Before going to study in the Great Song Dynasty at the behest of his father, he also attended some Mongolian meetings. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now in retrospect, Hao Kang seems to remember that his father Wang Hao Ren said, "According to the rules of the Song Kingdom, collect 30% of the grain tax." But from this point of view, the land rent of the Song State is obviously not 30%, but 50%.

Even if Hao Kang is a child of a Jin family, he is only a fifteen-year-old child, and he can't straighten out the problem of the system by relying on his thinking. He continued to read on, and soon the new text relieved him. The article in the "Great Song Daily" is not intended to sell knowledge, and the official land rent of the Great Song Dynasty is written at the back of the article. Thirty percent. In addition, the government provided free agricultural tools to the people of the Great Song Dynasty who rented land, and provided services such as improved seeds and agricultural technology.

For Hao Kang, none of this compares. Since it was the newspaper of the imperial court that said so, he could only keep it in his heart. In addition, Hao Kang couldn't help but think of his father and mother, how are they doing now, Hao Kang misses them very much. The Mongol mission sent by Hao Ren transported all kinds of books and newspapers collected to Hao Ren's Yuan Kingdom. I sent it once every two months, and I don't know if the letter written by Hao Kang was received by his parents.

Hao Kang, the son of the royal family of the Mongolian Yuan Kingdom, was immersed in the culture of the Great Song Dynasty at this time, and Wang Zi, the prince of the Three Hans of the Great Song Dynasty, was not so studious. At this time he inspected his grange in the service of his servants. Compared with the grange of the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Zi owned about three counties of land. For a strong dragon like the Great Song Dynasty, the Prime Minister of Sanhan did not dare to confront it, and these lands were not ceded to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty wanted to toss the local Goryeo people, so the Prime Minister of Sanhan pretended not to see it.

The Korean Peninsula is mountainous in the north and relatively flat in the south. In this way, the truly flat land was the Han River Plain, which was also the southernmost land of the four Han counties on the Korean Peninsula. Now Sanhan is the land of Sanhan in the Tang Dynasty, much south of the Han River Plain. The terrain here is hilly, with no particularly tall mountains, but no particularly contiguous flat land.

Prince Wang Zi got off the palanquin beside the field and saw the people harvesting in the winter wheat field. The golden paddy is lined up in patches in the growing area. As for those areas that have been harvested, there are a few cattle in the fields, and many more people are hoeing. The overseers were armed with leather whips, and when they saw that someone dared to slow down, they immediately went up and scolded them.

For such a violent situation, Prince Wang Zi didn't pay attention to it at all. He's just looking at the harvest. For Goryeo, one crop of grain a year has been a tradition for thousands of years. The Great Song gang is not ordinary, they dare to grow two seasons of grain a year. Look at it now, Da Song is playing for real. At this time, it is already May of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are only three or four months left before the cold weather begins, what else can be planted in these three or four months?

Daesong assured Samhan that if Samhan could satisfy Daesong, Daesong would restore the name of Goryeo. The way to satisfy the Great Song is to be able to produce grain and sell it to the Great Song Dynasty. The purpose of buying grain in the Great Song Dynasty was not that he lacked food, but that the transportation cost was relatively high, and he hoped to be able to buy grain directly from Sanhan and transport it to the island of Shikoku in the Wa Kingdom.

This year's new wheat has been dried and sent to Jeju Island in Daesong to be ground into flour using the power of windmills. The flour ribbons were not packed in sacks, but in specially woven cloth bags.

The steamship first transported about 1,000 tons of flour to Shikoku Island and anchored at the Takamatsu Castle Pier, the new base of the Iyo Naval Army. At noon the next day, the entire Iyo Navy headquarters ate meat buns. In this era, meat was not a food that could be eaten every day, not only because meat was produced relatively little, but also because meat was difficult to preserve. Fresh meat can easily spoil and develop an off-flavor. If the cooking skills are not good, if the seasoning is not good, the cooked meat food will not be delicious.

After the Iyo naval army occupied Takamatsu Castle, the commander of the naval army was located in the mansion where the guards used to live. At this time, there were several guests from Kyoto in the mansion. None of them wore official uniforms, but wore the clothes worn by the nobles of the Japanese kingdom in their daily lives, that is, the more delicate linen clothes.

After entering Takamatsu Castle, I saw that thousands of local Iyo sailors had linen clothes to wear, and when they entered the headquarters of the Iyo Navy, the leaders of the Iyo Navy's army were all flying fish suits. The flying fish suit is very good-looking, especially the color scheme of black on the outside and red on the inside, which is both solemn and oppressive. The hat on the top of the head is low in the front and high in the back, and in the summer, it is a hollow summer type made of thin bamboo strips, and the bun can be put into the higher back half. Comfortable and dignified at the same time.

Although the people from Kyoto looked down on the Iyo Navy as a pirate from the bottom of their hearts, these nobles had to admit that these clothes were really beautiful. Before meeting Zhao Naruto, the commander of the Iyo Naval Army, these people couldn't help but exchange in a low voice. They all thought that the rumors were correct, and that Zhao Naruto should indeed be a subordinate of the Great Song Emperor.

Recently, the name of the Iyo Naval Forces has spread throughout the three islands of Wakoku, and even in Okuriku there are people talking about the wealth that these pirates possess. Pearls are a very precious treasure in the Wa Kingdom, and a few months ago, Shikaku, a traitor to the Iyo Naval Army, killed the guards, cut open more than 100 pearl oysters, stole the pearls inside, and fled to the shogunate.

Those pearl oysters are not ready to take the beads, and the particles are generally smaller. Even so, more than a hundred horse beads have successfully aroused the greed of the Kamakura shogunate. Through its own news channels, the Imperial Court of the Wa Kingdom also heard the news. The shogunate took a crusade against the Iyo naval army, and the Heiankyo court in Kyoto had a different view. Officials felt that the Kamakura shogunate's crusade was an unseemly nonsense, and that they were completely blinded by interests.

As pirates, the Iyo Navy was a sea people, and did not belong to the people who were officially recognized by the Wa Kingdom. As a countryman, you must at least be a farmer who farms the land in the manor. Theoretically, if the shogunate executed a countryman, even the lowest-ranking peasant, it would have to give a reason. You can't just kill it. But if you kill mountain people or sea people in various places, you don't need any explanation or reason at all. Because the mountain people and the sea people do not pay taxes, do not bear any obligations, and therefore have no status. Kill them and kill them.

The crusade against the Iyo naval army was tantamount to an open crusade against a group of monkeys, and the shogunate lowered its status to the level of non-nationals.

In addition to the fact that they are willing to fall, these sailors are now operating the property handed over to them by the Great Song Dynasty officials. The Heiankyo court believed that the Kamakura shogunate was greedy and went to rob the empire of the Great Song Dynasty. This is foolishness. As the noblest and wisest court of the Japanese Dynasty, they were also attracted to pearls. Therefore, an envoy was sent to the headquarters of the Iyo Navy in a private capacity. Seeing the grandeur of the headquarters proved Heiankyo's judgment of the Iyo Naval Army, which made those officials even more relieved.

The door to the living room was pulled open, and a maid in a beautiful floral dress entered, with dark hair and an ankle-high chintz garment. Just such a costume, these Heiankyo officials instinctively stood in awe, and the maids in the palace of the Wa Kingdom were at most such a costume. It wasn't until the maid said in a backcountry accent, 'The chief invites you to dinner,' that the Heiankyo officials were finally able to develop some contempt for the villagers.

But these people are officials after all, and the minimum politeness can be maintained. So he got up and followed the maid to the leader of the Iyo naval army. The Wa Kingdom is very poor, and in poor places, 'waste' can be said to be a sin, but it can also be said to be a status symbol. For example, the maid in front of her had a backcountry accent, but her clothes were long enough to drag on the wooden floor. The hem of her sleeves was wide enough to easily extend over the waist. The wide towing of these useless positions is undoubtedly proof that the Iyo Naval Army is rich.

Walking behind the maid, the officials of Heiankyo could still smell the perfume emanating from the maid. If it's just a normal floral scent or a scent of flower dew, then the aroma is something completely different. It was the smell that the officials had never smelled before, and they were a little distracted. Some officials even have a sudden urge to do something.

Passing through a cloister, the style in front of it becomes extremely prosperous. In general, no walls were built, and all walls were made of paper glued to wooden frames. The wallpaper posted on the wall where the commander of the Iyo Navy is located is a dark gilt type, which is the favorite of the nouveau riche of the Great Song Dynasty. It also made the officials of Heiankyo can't help but admire in their hearts. Cranes, peonies, bamboos, orchids, chrysanthemums, plums, all kinds of shapes are dark bronzing, elegant and show a kind of fat luxury. Even the wooden floor under your feet feels very different when you step on it.

followed the maid to the door, but saw two women in short clothes kneeling at the door, although their clothes were also up to the ankles, the quality was obviously inferior to the one who led the official. What's more, the sleeves of the two women only extend beyond their elbows, and their upper arms are exposed. This is the level that a rich maid should have.

The maid stood up and opened the paper door, and the maid in front walked in with the official. The décor of this room doesn't look particularly out of the ordinary. However, as soon as you enter the door, you will feel that the tatami mats under your feet feel completely different. Tatami has a term in China called Xiju, and after Yao Shun, Xiju (tatami) was the main way of life. The Han Dynasty was the pinnacle of the development of tatami mats. During the 400 years from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, stools and high beds were popular, and Xiju gradually declined in China. Although it is not quite certain when the Xiju was introduced to the Wa Kingdom, it did become a way of life for the Wa Kingdom.

Officials from Heiankyo only stepped on it with their feet, and they knew that the tatami mats under their feet were a variety they had never seen before, and it was also a comfort they had never seen before. It was indescribably dry, and it was extremely rare for the Wa country during the rainy season.

After introducing Zhao Naruto and the two important leaders to the personnel of Heiankyo, the Chinese maiden introduced herself, "I am the commander of the Iyo naval army, and my name is Sakura. ”

Only then did the official understand why this person was wearing a little arrogant. It turned out to be a female pirate leader.

Naruto had lived in the Great Song Dynasty for decades, and he was no longer used to kneeling, so he chose to sit cross-legged on the mat. Heiankyo officials were also divided into several mats. As soon as he touched the mat, the officials were shocked. It's not that they haven't made silk mats, but they don't know what is padded in this mat, which is soft and thick. After sitting cross-legged, it was extremely comfortable.

When you touch the tatami mat with your hand, you will know that the surface material is indeed fresh. The material of the Wakoku tatami mat mat is divided into rush and paper mat surface, and this feels like a slightly rough cloth. Tatami mats were made of cloth, and the kings of the Wa Kingdom were not so extravagant.

A maid came in and poured tea for the official in a transparent glass. The glass is no longer an unseen cargo on the upper floor of the Japanese country. It's just that this kind of glass has an inner liner, which cleverly separates the tea from the tea, which is very interesting to watch.

When the black tea was entered, the officials immediately felt that the living standards of these pirates were too high. The officials as high as Heiankyo felt a little ashamed. One of them couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency Zhao, is this tea from the Song Kingdom?" ”

"Hmm. I wonder if you've ever heard of the Sinhalese Lion Country. It's right next to Tianzhu. Zhao Naruto asked. He drank Sinhalese black tea, which had become popular in the Great Song Dynasty, and stood with green tea and white tea, firmly occupying a large market share.

"I think I've heard of it. Isn't that thousands of miles away? ”

"Hmm. You are drinking last year's Sinhalese black tea. Zhao Naruto replied. After finishing speaking, he was afraid that people would ridicule him and say that it was old tea, so he couldn't help but add, "This year's new tea hasn't come down yet." ”
