Chapter 531: Bribery
In fact, she never realized that Youzhou was the Beijing city of her time, this kind of military priority was not her knowledge reserve, but she was always optimistic, no matter how the situation changed, the sky fell and there was a tall one, and the ground fell and there was a short one, the enemy army was thousands of miles away, so there was no need to worry about it, as long as Kyoto Chang'an was still a school of singing and dancing, she could eat, drink and have fun, so her mind was still focused on preparing for the construction of the striking field, and continue to cultivate feelings with His Royal Highness King Jin.
Of course, the Queen Mother was nervous about the front-line war at this time, and she had to be careful not to leave an impression of being fun, and not forget to talk about the benefits of promoting the horn in front of the Queen Mother.
For example, it is conducive to strengthening the body, waiting for the horn striking field to be completed, only two days in a month to open to the people for free, teaching the skills of horn fighting, encouraging the people to strengthen their bodies, although on the surface it is His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but who in the world does not know His Royal Highness is violent? You must be able to understand that the Queen Mother is sympathetic to the common people. For example, once the striking angle is promoted among the nobles, it can build a lot of striking fields, implement the VIP system, and can also sell the special cane jersey and other things, which is also an income.
Not to mention what the Queen Mother thought, He Ye simply scoffed at Xie Ying's high-sounding statement.
Ordinary people have to work for their livelihoods, how many of them are sunrise and sunset, why do they need to rely on this entertainment to strengthen their health? If you want them to stop their work and play, it is better to directly reward them with money to rest for two days, really to be sympathetic to the people, what is the effect of preparing to build a corner fighting field, but as Xiao Jiulang proposed at that time, the construction of a sick and orphan workshop can really benefit the working people, not to mention that if the horn is promoted, where does the Xianwang clan need to obediently pay money to buy VIPs? Who still lacks a grange, and they are preparing to build it themselves, the so-called cane is also a thing that is clear at a glance, don't say that the aristocracy can imitate it, and many businessmen will also be moved, and you can Xie Liuniang monopolize the market? Earning those small profits is not enough to alleviate the emptiness of the treasury?
As He Zhan and Xue Luli analyzed, the reason why the monarch's finances were stretched thin was because of the extravagance of the royal family, and because the current tax system could no longer adapt to today's national conditions.
Although He Ye didn't think so, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be "happy and convinced", and he looked at Xie Ying's admiration for a living king who was increasing day by day, so he had never liked restraint, and he was suddenly keen to come to the Penglai Hall to say hello during this period of time, and began to teach Xie Ying riding skills - not to mention that the carriage in this era was quite bumpy, and there was no fun of fresh clothes and angry horses when he was always held in the carriage, Xie Ying was still very much looking forward to being proficient in equestrianism, at least in the future, he could ride and hunt with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, right?
Even once in front of the Queen Mother, He Ye also praised Xie Ying: "Liuniang figured out the angle striking technique, it is indeed very interesting, now there are many nobles who are very interested, when the corner striking field is completed, it will inevitably be highly sought after, it was originally an idle grange in the suburbs of Beijing, but it has become a place of profit, and it is also a military fund." ”
Xie Ying was so complacent that she even begged for a reward from King Jin in front of the Queen Mother.
The king of Jin cried and became poor: "Mother's edict, my original fiefdom and food have also been cut, and there are so many mouths waiting to be chewed up and down the mansion, and now I can't even feed a tribute elephant, so I have no choice but to send it back to the palace, and I am waiting for the horn field to be completed to subsidize part of the consumption, how can there be spare money to reward." ”
Xie Ying didn't hear it well, and when King Jin said this, wouldn't he be suspicious of complaining, and hurriedly turned around: "I don't want His Highness's reward of money and silver, look at His Highness's urgency...... I have long heard that the sword dance of the Hu clan is unmatched, but unfortunately I don't have the blessing of my eyes, Your Highness will not reward me with this trick? ”
He Ye: !!
This is what the Hu family looks at? Is she really a quasi-princess? If it is replaced by the rest of the people, for the whole Liu Eleven's plan, the house will be abandoned, this Hu family is the person Liu Shiyi entrusted to take care of, where can it be tortured by Xie Liuniang, wouldn't it be a sheep sent into the tiger's mouth?
The Queen Mother didn't care when she heard these two people coming and going, but she was already frowning secretly when Xie Ying was busy turning around for He Ye, and when she heard that Xie Ying actually opened her mouth to ask for Hu's family, she paid more attention to He Ye's expression.
If you follow the consistent temperament of this evil obstacle, you will immediately turn your face, but at this time she is only quite hesitant, the Queen Mother can't help sneering, it seems that the evil obstacle is really different from usual, even if Eleven Niang, and the Liu family's affection, the evil obstacle treats her just not embarrassed, why is it so generous?
The Queen Mother's mind turned, and He Ye had already spoken: "Liu Niang wants to watch the sword dance, come to my house at any time, and let the Hu dance come to reward...... Otherwise, I'll ask the Hu family to train the Qin family, and when the Qin family completes her studies, can I transfer her to Liuniang? ”
almost didn't choke the queen mother with a sip of tea: "The more you talk about it, the more it doesn't look like it, Ah Ji is your widow, how can you be like a maid and concubine, let you give it away?" ”
The evil obstacle is really ridiculous, but Liuniang really has the means!
- This is the conclusion of the Queen Mother.
In the blink of an eye, in the second year of Chengde, although there is still no news of the war on the front line, but for the Great Zhou court, there is no bad news is good news, which shows that the reed Zeguan is not lost, Jinshuo is still safe, and as long as Jinshuo is not lost, Kyoto is not urgent, so the people are also temporarily relieved, ready for the upcoming New Year, between the city, the east and west two cities, gradually have a festive atmosphere, although some of the world's families are still worried about the war situation, but the New Year still has to celebrate, otherwise the disaster has not come, just make a situation like mourning, also unlucky.
Although the Queen Mother issued an order to be frugal, a New Year, a Lantern Festival but also exempt from a banquet, especially the Lantern Festival, must be held as usual, one is to avoid the panic of the people of Kyoto, and the more important thing is that every New Year, all countries must send envoys to Zhou Chao to congratulate, not because of the civil war will lose the system of a great country, otherwise will not let foreign countries misunderstand the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger?
That's even more detrimental to society!
What made the Queen Mother feel a little relieved was that Xie Raoping's secret performance had been sent to her desk, Wu Weihou had successfully handed over to Yao Qian, and there was no mutiny between them, and Yao Qian, the general of the defeated army, was also on his way back to Beijing.
Wu Weihou has just taken over the Weize Pass, even if he is brave, it is impossible to defeat the rebels immediately, but as long as he guards the pass steadily, and wait to assemble the soldiers and guards of the Hedong provinces to take advantage of the advantages of the terrain and resist the courage of the rebels, at least they can suspend the urgency of the troops at the pass.
Since the Queen Mother has settled down, Xie Ying is even more "distracted", and tries her best to build a corner strike field in these three or two months, although the weather is cold at this time, she also goes to the corner striking field every three or five times, and strives to make this corner striking field an instant hit when she returns to the earth in the spring of March next year.
On this day, Xie Ying heard that the hundred rockeries she had carefully purchased had been arranged, and she couldn't wait to go to the corner field to take a look, but He Ye went to Pingkangfang to spend all day drinking, and could not accompany her. ”
The words of the envoy of Dongying...... Isn't that Japanese?
Xie Ying immediately became interested, she didn't worship Japan before, but because she liked the island country film and television animation, she was even interested in the country of Japan, flew to play a few times, and also took Japanese in college, I couldn't help but wonder if the Japanese dress and language at this time would be the same as in the future, because she had traveled over for a short time, her contact with things was limited, and she didn't even know that there were Japanese students in the Zhou envoys, and she didn't know that the so-called Silla at this time was the country of the future long-legged male gods, and she had asked her brothers about Korea, of course, there was no result.
It is not like the Wa Kingdom, which already calls itself "Japan" at this time, but the Zhou people are still habitually called Dongying and Fuso.
As for the tribes that are now collectively referred to as the "Hu people", Xie Ying is even more unable to distinguish which countries are in later generations, and the English she learned in later generations is of course useless.
Because of curiosity, Xie Ying immediately invited someone to meet, but at first sight, the Japanese envoy whose full name is Tsumori Chodan, not only has a hairstyle and dress that is no different from that of the Zhou people, but also has a mouth, and the official language is called fluent.
However, with the Zhou envoy Kurita Mayang who came to Jinshou, he thought that Xie Ying was just a beautiful woman, maybe she didn't know the official language, and translated it again in Chang'an dialect......
It turned out that at this time, the official dialect of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not Chang'an dialect, tracing back to the source, or because of the disaster of the "Five Hu Chaohua" during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which once caused language confusion, after the Guang Dynasty of this time and space unified the world, it was believed that the Xianbei Northern language could no longer be used, so some scholars established the Yayun according to the ancient rhyme is the later official rhyme - the local dialects are quite different, do not say that the ancestral hometowns of the civil and military officials are different, which will inevitably cause communication barriers.
So the official rhyme has become a compulsory course for scholars and officials, but it is impossible to use the crepe language in daily communication, of course, Chang'an people also have their own dialects, and the people who have no hope of a career in the official career, as well as women, naturally do not know official language, even many ladies, such as Liu Jiuniang, have never liked poetry and songs, "Cut Rhyme" has never been learned well, and it is not official language, of course, even so, Liu Jiuniang will not be laughed at for not learning and not knowing, because the official rhyme is only a compulsory course for scholars.
Of course, Xie Ying's previous life could not understand the official rhyme of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but her "original body" was keen on poetry since she was a child, although Xie Ying did not inherit the poetry talent of the "original body", the official rhyme could still be understood, so she glanced at the nosy Awata Mayang, and communicated warmly with the envoys of Dongying with official rhyme.
After the cold noise, I didn't expect Tsumori Nagadan to present a big box of gold ingots!
Da Zhou does not use gold and silver as the currency in circulation, of course, this does not mean that gold and silver are not valuable, for example, you go to a restaurant to eat a bowl of cold tao, throwing off a piece of gold ingot will not work, unless you are generous and can not make up for it, that is two words. At this time, gold and silver were mostly used by the local government to pay taxes to the imperial court, or to buy and sell in large quantities - for example, Hu Shang, their original kingdom could not have the currency of the Great Zhou, and in addition to bartering for commercial transactions, they had to use gold and silver to offset it.
However, the envoy of Dongying obviously wanted to bribe Xie Ying, so that he could avoid this exchange link.
Even though Xie Ying was a prominent lady, she was dazzled by a box full of gold ingots at this time, and it was easy to hold back the surging mood, and she was very decent: "No merit is not rewarded, I don't know what Jin Shoujun wants?" ”
