Spring Festival is a noun that appeared until the Republic of China, and the previous New Year's Day refers to the Spring Festival. When the Republic of China adopted the Western calendar, the first day of January in the West was regarded as New Year's Day, and the New Year's Day of the lunar calendar was called the Spring Festival.

On the New Year's Day of the Song calendar, the streets of Hangzhou are very lively. The city of a million people is completely in festive mode. The streets were crowded with people, and all the citizens wore the best clothes and appeared on the streets of Hangzhou.

In the previous system, on this day, the officials had to pay New Year's greetings to the officials, and the officials gave the officials various rewards. Before, when Zhao Guanjia was a lieutenant, he only went to the imperial city and did not go to the palace. Now that the Zhao official family has ascended the throne, he has accepted the congratulations of the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace of the Imperial City.

The Great Song Dynasty did not engage in three bows and nine bows, which later became the official etiquette of China from the Great Yuan onwards, and Kublai Khan, who was of Mongolian origin, and the Mongol nobles liked to use this discriminatory etiquette to prove their superiority over the conquered.

In the Great Song Dynasty, everyone bowed down to the official family. The angle of the bow does not exceed 45 degrees, which is purely a gesture. Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guan's family will not be the slightest dissatisfied, if his subordinates all bow to the mountain three times and knock on the mountain to shout long live, he will probably feel disappointed.

Official rewards have been issued in advance, so the New Year's Day festival is very brief. After that, it will be the New Year's holiday.

When this kind of reunion-like court meeting was over, Zhao Jiaren told everyone that he would hold a large dance party in the imperial city on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, inviting officials who were eligible to participate in the court meeting, as well as some officials who were not qualified to participate in the court meeting. Zhao Guanjia said to everyone: "We do not provide dance partners here, I hope you can bring your family members here." ”

Hearing this request, the officials who had worked in Song Lizong's time, or who knew about Song Lizong's anecdotes, couldn't help but smile. The traditional pleasure of the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty was to go to the painting boat and have fun with the courtesans and the papers. Although the status of the Great Song Dynasty officials was higher than that of these scholars, they could not enjoy the same treatment as the scholars. There are clear records of sleeping singers, including Song Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty and Song Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Now this kind of dance party held by Zhao Guan's family is much higher than that of the painting boat in terms of intimacy. It's just that this kind of dance presents a completely open mode, so many people say at most that the dance is not sunny and snowy, but the lower riba people. For such a form of entertainment, there is not so much opposition to it.

The invitation of the Zhao official family was not simply verbal, and the guards divided the invitations to the people who participated in the court meeting. The guards also reminded the officials, "Please keep these invitations safe. When you come to the ball, you can't enter without an invitation. ”

The officials left the imperial city, and the Zhao official family did not return to the imperial palace, but prepared to leave the imperial city. Chinese imperial palaces were built using a lot of materials that would seem terrible in the 21st century. These materials include mercury compounds, lead compounds, and building materials containing arsenic. This is no longer a problem of formaldehyde, but a real poison.

The thought of living in such a palace full of poison, Zhao Jiaren felt that it was painful to kill him with a knife. If you kill it with a knife, you can at least have a good time. Being exposed to this poison environment does not kill you immediately, but directly affects intelligence and fertility. The child is prone to miscarriage, and the emperor is prone to dementia. Just thinking about it makes Zhao Jiaren creepy. Therefore, after ascending the throne, the Zhao official family did not move into the palace to live, but regarded the back garden opposite the imperial city as a palace.

There are no wooden buildings in the park, and most of the buildings are framed with iron-reinforced cement frames and iron-reinforced prefabricated panels. Pollution-free materials are used, and the walls are painted with white plaster. It may not look so beautiful, but it can guarantee health.

For Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guanjia, this kind of architecture gives him a strong sense of familiarity, and familiarity can easily bring a sense of psychological stability. In addition, the maintenance cost of this kind of building itself is much lower than that of wooden buildings, because in addition to the high cost of transportation and processing, there is also a problem of maintenance troubles. The initial treatment of wood often takes a year and a half, and after processing, it also needs frequent maintenance, otherwise it is easy to crack. Materials such as cement do not have this disadvantage at all.

Of course, Zhao Guan's family did not want to return to their warm home, but went straight to the Lin'an Public Security Bureau. Other units can take holidays, but the public security bureau not only cannot take holidays, but also needs to send additional manpower. In this kind of time when a large number of people travel, the number of various crime cases has skyrocketed, and the number of various public security incidents is even greater. The public security comrades are working very hard.

There is no reason for the Zhao official family to bring a kind of official to condole, and he himself has every reason to come to condole.

"Happy New Year, comrades."

"Comrades have worked hard."

"Have you received your New Year's allowance?"

After Zhao Guanjia's own content reached an unprecedented height, he no longer felt that the leaders' inspection was very hypocritical. Hypocrisy is for those who have no interests, for Zhao Guan's family, the army, the public security system, and the judiciary are the most important pillars in his hands. If you can't express the maximum support for the pillar, you are weakening the Zhao Guanjia's content.

The facts were the same as what Zhao Guan's family thought, and when they saw that the official family really came to offer condolences in person, comrades at all levels in the public security system were very moved. When Zhao Guanjia shook hands with the surrounding public security comrades in a very natural manner, everyone trembled a little in awe at first. Seeing that the official family had such a cordial attitude, many people were moved to tears.

After the condolences to the public security, the fire was followed. Most of the big cities in the Great Song Dynasty had thatched roofs, and the houses used a lot of wooden materials. Coupled with the huge population density, there is a big fire every few years. This is not only the case in Hangzhou, but also in Gusu, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Qingyuanfu and other places. The fires in Yangzhou more than ten years ago burned three-quarters of the city to the ground.

During the New Year's Day, all firefighters were on duty and ready to be dispatched at any time. The group of people who couldn't go home were naturally extremely moved when they saw Zhao Guan's family coming to offer condolences with condolences.

Talking about the recent situation, the comrade of the fire department said: "Official, now our manpower is mainly placed in the old city. The house over there can easily catch fire. The new urban areas are made of concrete bricks, and the sparks outside will not cause the houses to catch fire. Even the fire is also a problem inside. In addition, the streets of the new town are wide, and there is running water. Firefighting is very easy. If the entire city of Hangzhou can be built into a new city, we can guarantee that the fire will not become a large-scale disaster. ”

For such an incorrect answer, Zhao Jiaren was actually very dissatisfied in his heart. He came to condolence because he wanted to hear how the firefighters responded to the fire, rather than letting the gang direct others to go to the bottom of the kettle to solve the fire. But these are not the days of the fall. Zhao Guanjia just smiled, but didn't say anything.

After the condolences were over, Zhao Guan's family went to the army to offer condolences again. Originally, there were no troops stationed in Hangzhou, only a 300-man Imperial Forest Army. Now the Imperial Guards are still there, but the 300 uncles have all retired. Now a division of troops has been mobilized as a combat unit of the Hangzhou Military Region.

When the army saw their leader, Zhao Guanjia, appear, their emotions were naturally extremely high. Many of the commanders and fighters were new recruits, and many of them were soldiers who had participated in the Battle of the Yellow River. That battle was over, and it was still the most frequently discussed content in the army. This is a war that goes beyond the purely military field, and it is also a war that gives the Song army a new understanding of the military field.

The Zhao family educated the Song army into an army with a lot of knowledge, and the Battle of the Yellow River proved what kind of combat effectiveness the Song army with knowledge could burst out. The more the Battle of the Yellow River was discussed, the more confident everyone was in defeating the Mongol army, and it also made everyone's admiration for Zhao Guanjia stronger and stronger.

The military is so direct. A commander who can lead them to victory, especially at the lowest cost, is very popular with the military.

After inspecting the army. Zhao Guan's family went to another unit that was not ostentatious, the Great Song Dynasty Anti-Rape Committee. While the unit does not attempt to assert itself, the significance of the unit's existence is significant. The army and public security are the weapons of Zhao Guan's family, and the anti-traitor committee is the sword in Zhao Guan's sleeve.

The Anti-Rape Committee also did not celebrate the Spring Festival, and their work was also very busy during the Spring Festival. It is not an efficient means to hastily deal with all potential enemies, for example, when the Zhao Guanjia solved the True God Cult in Fuzhou in one fell swoop, it was when the True God Sect participated in the opportunity of the Mongolian theft of granular gunpowder technology, and justifiably carried out a great purge. The subsequent anti-rape activities were all to lure the snakes out of the hole and annihilate them in batches.

Such a cruel action eradicated not only the Song traitor, but also the soil that produced the Song traitor. Those Song traitor families who had the opportunity to defect to Mongolia were uprooted with those channels, completely destroying the channels for Mongolia to infiltrate the Great Song Dynasty.

These comrades of the Anti-Rape Committee were also very moved when they saw Zhao Guan's family come to offer condolences on New Year's Day. Ding Fei of the Anti-Rape Committee reported the latest situation.

"Official, there are some Mongolian spies among the prisoners who have been exchanged. What we can be sure of is that these spies have not yet established an effective intelligence channel. ”

"Why? It's been two years, right? ”

"The sea route is completely in our hands. On the land route, Henan did not leave them a chance, and only the Han people were left in Shandong, and the spies had no way to get through. So I think it's better to close the Internet café, and if I wait any longer, I'm afraid that there will be many dreams at night. ”

"Well, you guys write a report." Zhao Jiaren did not agree immediately, this kind of head-to-head thing is a big deal. If Ding Fei's intelligence is completely fine, Zhao Jiaren can also consider the option of plotting against the Mongolian spies. There's no need to catch them all and kill them all.

"Official, there is nothing disgruntled in Hangzhou now. However, our comrades in Jiangxi and Lianghuai think that there seems to be some problems in the locality. ”

"There's no rush for that. Jiangxi and Lianghuai are both areas that are preparing for land reform, and the locals may not be so happy when they think about it. ”

"We'll step up."

"You should consider transferring to the judiciary."

"What?" Ding Fei was surprised.

"The judicial system needs a lot of personnel, and Sima will retire after a few years. You young people need to go now. Zhao Jiaren explained. These are all obvious reasons, but the deeper reason is that the Anti-Traitor Committee itself also needs personnel adjustments, and it is also very dangerous for such a powerful unit to be controlled by a small number of people for a long time.

It's not that there are problems with the personnel of the powerful units, but that the personnel of the powerful units are too single, which in itself can cause all kinds of problems.

“…… Official, I don't really want to go to justice, I want to go to the school. Ding Fei replied.

"Yes." Zhao Jiaren agreed. Ding Fei's work has always been no problem, whether it is a school or a judiciary, such talents are needed. "Also, there is a dance party on the fifth day of the new year, have you received the news?"

"Please rest assured, we will definitely do a good job of the security review of the prom." Ding Fei replied very firmly.

There are a lot of toxic substances in the palace itself, and an occasional visit or two is not a problem. Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty is suitable for holding a large-scale ball, that is, the main hall of the imperial palace.

On the fifth day of the new year, the officials who received the invitation arrived at the palace with their families. Even if someone confessed, some of these people still forgot to take the invitation. The officials waited at the door, and the entourage hurried home. Of course, these are all in the minority. Most of the officials took the invitations, registered their families, and were led by the guards into the passage to the ball.

The inside of the main hall, which was used as the ball venue, has been set up, with a red carpet and a flat floor. Everyone was led into the rest room, which was divided into men and women, and only the children were allowed to run back and forth in the different rest rooms. Moreover, the families of officials are very strict in discipline, and the number of such children is also very small.

Naturally, the officials took the opportunity to chat. Qi Rong and Qi Ye were both among the invitees at this time, and Qi Rong couldn't help but sigh to his cousin: "I really didn't expect that I would be here one day." ”

Qi Ye didn't say anything. He had heard his cousin sigh several times. Qi Ye also did not expect that he would one day become an important official of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was also an official of the newly established money system. Zhao Guanjia has a unique view of Qianzhuang, and after he came to power, there was a general Qianzhuang of the Great Song Dynasty. This general bank does not carry out the actual business, but carries out the work of issuing money.

And Qi Ye served in the Great Song Dynasty General Money Village. Qi Ye's cousin Qi Rong is a money bank under the Great Song Dynasty General Bank, and he runs a lot of business, including storing and handing money. These banks are private, and of course they don't want to lose anything. So Qi Ye couldn't help but tell Qi Rong: "Brother." If you see an official, don't say anything about the fake payment. ”

"We can't let the officials keep the officials in the dark about such a major event." Qi Rong used a very nice statement.

"Today is not a good day to let the officials know the news. As long as the New Year's Day holiday is over, you can talk about it casually. If you talk about it today, it will only ruin the mood of the officials. The official family is in a bad mood, and many people around him will be affected. Do you think you can stand those people who just use a little stumbling block on you? ”

Hearing his cousin say this, Qi Rong said with some grievances: "Got it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the guards enter the lounge. After the roll call, the guard said, "Everyone, you can enter the arena." ”
