[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

Fireworks in the Song Dynasty were not as bright as those in the later generations, but Xia Anran hadn’t seen fireworks for decades. The Eastern Han Dynasty hadn’t started using gunpowder, let alone modern times. Fireworks are prohibited in the central city of Beijing, even if the ban is lifted someday. Yes, the Palace Museum is absolutely prohibited, after all, as a wooden structure group, the most feared thing is fire.

On weekdays, you can't see the Forbidden City in the Forbidden City at all, and you have to go to the prescribed place even if you want to eat.

Therefore, although the fireworks are simple, compared to the complex and beautiful fiery trees and silver flowers of later generations, they are more like ordinary sky cannons that explode, and the colors of the fireworks are less, but Xia Anran is still very satisfied watching it.

Since the fireworks exploded, the atmosphere has been unprecedentedly warm. The people cheered and laughed, and the voices of children laughing and screaming merged together. The place where the Bai family is located is a little secluded, but Xia Anran can still feel the joy of the people in Jinhua atmosphere of.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. These few days are the time when the people of the Song Dynasty who have struggled for a year can completely relax. They don't need to work, they don't need to work, they just need to sit around and chat with their favorite family members and eat wine.

Of course, it is inevitable to leave relatives.

Xia Anran was leaning against the tree, holding a cup of hot wine in her hands. The Bai family and his party were well prepared. There was a small charcoal stove on the small table in front of them. The wine cups that were warmed on the charcoal stove because of the heat insulation of the ceramic wall Because of this, there was only a faint smell of alcohol.

He also poured a cup for Bai Yutang, and when he handed it to him, he fished Xia Duoduo back, preventing the unilateral dispute between him and Duoduoying that was initiated by Xia Duoduo.

A good bird, isn't it good to be alive?Why do you have to provoke Bai Sanshao?

This is an era when martial arts people have all kinds of strange skills. If Bai Sanshao is really popular and gives you acupuncture points, Dad can't save you!

Xia Duoduo was forced into Xia Anran's hands, so he could only stare at Bai Yutang from afar with the bird's head and peased eyes that barely protruded from Xia Anran's hands. After Xia Anran pinched the beak by the way, he couldn't even scream I can't scream, I'm just aggrieved.

The latter didn't care about being looked at by him like this, and was happier on the contrary. He took the wine glass handed over by Xia Anran and took a picture of the reflection of the fireworks in the sky, with an infuriatingly leisurely posture.

What the Bai family brought out this time was a porcelain cup, which was shining brightly under the shadowy halo, and the walls of the cup reflected the fireworks blooming in the sky.He filled his glass with wine, his dark eyes were bright, but he was a bit lazy.

Xia Anran looked at Canxing, who was in the same color as the firecrackers in the sky, then at Bai Yutang, whose eyes had narrowed slightly after drinking a few cups, and then at the task bar that did not move at all, blinking, feeling a little puzzled.

The mission requirements should all be met... Even if Bai Yutang is still drunk, he won't be completely motionless.What went wrong...

He carefully read the task description several times, and suddenly his eyes fell on the sword on Bai Yutang's waist, and in the atmosphere, he asked rather abruptly, "Does Zeyan's sword have a name?"

"name?"

Bai Yutang blinked lazily, raised his sword eyebrows with some disapproval, "It's just an ordinary steel sword with a strange name."

Xia Anran looked at him silently, his eyes were dark and dark under the light of the flickering fireworks. This strange look also made Bai Yutang wake up. He suddenly thought that in Xia Anran's novels, every The swords are given names and have detailed descriptions of their shapes.

Cough, this is also one of the reasons why Bai Yutang didn't name his saber, because in a "purple light", "lightning" and "thunderstorm", if he was fighting with others and asked each other about swords, he would say "nameless sword" , why worry about it"... how imposing it is!

Of course this cannot be said.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"No, it's okay." Xia Anran said quietly, he signaled to Bai Yutang that he didn't need to worry about it, he just thought of some unimportant things, and when Bai Yutang was so suspicious that he looked away and continued to watch the fireworks, he just sighed inwardly. Know it's not that easy.

The client of the task is Huaying, and the object of the task is the owner of Huaying. As a famous sword handed down from generation to generation, if it is really in Bai Yutang's hands now, how could it be called the nameless steel sword.

It turns out that the difficulty of this task is far from offering Bai Yutang a drink, but finding out the Shadow Painting Sword and stuffing it into Bai Yutang's hands!

No, it is also possible that the current owner of Huaying is the target of his task. He set the target of the task as Bai Yutang based on the preconceptions of the TV series. Maybe his client is following the history or not the film and television drama.

Tsk, he underestimated the cheating mission system.

This is one of the top ten swords that has not been handed down in later generations. It is only active in various game settings and novels, and there is no real thing in the world. Everyone is not optimistic about the whereabouts of this sword. The current judgment is basically possible. In a certain tomb, even a small number of people have doubts about its existence.

For a moment, Xia Anran felt a burst of pain in his brain. He stared at the wine cup in his hand, but what he actually saw was the little red dot on his wrist.

At this moment, like the protagonists of countless system novels, he just wanted to say something affectionately to the system - if I trust the system again, I am a pig! !

The system gentleman who has been quiet since entering this system: Hehehe, the host should not misunderstand our system. As a young monster cultivation system, we can't just show the little monsters the truth, goodness and beauty!I also have to show you how cruel the world is.

After the fireworks display that night, the next day is the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month. In the Song Dynasty, people's New Year's customs have basically been settled, which is not much different from today.

On the eve of the last day of the twelfth lunar month, children are responsible for changing Spring Festival couplets, posting door gods and spring peaches, older ones remove dust and clean the house, and the head of the family is responsible for offering sacrifices to ancestors.

Although there are three men in the Bai family, they are still a little thinner than ordinary families, so even though Radian Mu is young and strong, he is still very busy.

Xia Anran, who is not from the Bai family, is not good at participating in the family's sacrificial activities, so he said that he is responsible for the logistics for them. He poked around in the kitchen, secretly learning the Bai family's skills in handling ingredients, and at the same time inquiring about the news.

Never underestimate cooks, medicine, cooks, and poisons are not separated at the beginning, and as the saying goes, "craftsmen can't starve to death anywhere." In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Jiajun encountered an extreme when he raided the bandits. Condition.

A famous chef from Luoyang was found in the bandit village. This chef Dong Zhuo escaped from Luoyang before he entered Luoyang. He happened to be a bandit and killed most of his companions. He shouted that he knew how to cook before he was left behind.

Because of his good cooking skills, this person is very easy to get along in the bandit village. Over time, he lived well and inquired a lot of news. When he met Cao Jun, he told Cao Jun what the bandit village had done, and Interceding for the people in the village, because of his confession, this relatively conscientious bandit village was finally spared the scourge of beheading.

The chef of the Bai family also knows how to mix many foods, and the cooking wine that Xia Anran poured before was also well received by the chef, so he was also willing to tell this gentleman some folklore of his hometown.

Xia Anran's identity is transparent in the Bai family, and the cook naturally knows that he is the author of the current serialized article in his newspaper, and all the messy questions Xia Anran asks are taken by him to collect materials. Knowing the secrets of the master's family, there is naturally nothing that cannot be said.

Therefore, Xia Anran learned a lot of cooking methods of wild vegetables from this master, what can temporarily satisfy the hunger during a famine, and even learned some skills on how to really "eat mountains by relying on mountains, and drink water by relying on water".These things Xia Anran couldn't learn in modern times. For example, if the cook hadn't told him, Xia Anran would never have imagined that the roots and stalks of rice and wheat could be eaten.

"It's just to be grated and eaten, and it's easy to be constipated." The cook smiled and told the man with wide-eyed and surprised expression, "This is what the older generation said, but we have never eaten it. The weather is smooth, the occasional minor disaster is treated in time, and we are not suffering to that extent."

"I heard that this stuff can also be kneaded into noodles after being ground, and it can be steamed or boiled to fill the stomach. Although the taste is a little bit worse, it can still last."

Xia Anran nodded, seeing that the cook didn't continue, he didn't ask any more questions.To be able to know that the roots and stems of rice are edible must be due to the fact that their ancestors experienced unbearable hunger.

He searched the ruined land decades ago in his memory, and he knew it more or less. The two chatted with each other with a smile, and occasionally a small slave who helped in the kitchen participated in it. The atmosphere is naturally hot.

After a while, a small head came in from the door. It was the two little milk dogs who found here following the smell. They barked at Xia Anran with a milky voice, wagging their tails while barking.

This is inviting Xia Anran to play together.

The puppy has not been completely weaned, but can already eat complementary food, this is the most mischievous time.

That is the so-called - the age that dogs hate.

The fine dog mother is also very disturbed. Immediately after feeding the baby, she left the child and ran out for a walk. The unaccompanied little milk dog followed the unaccompanied little milk leopard, taking advantage of the absence of the elders. The Bai Mansion was full of fun, but obviously they felt bored after playing for a long time, so they came to find Xia Anran.

Seeing that Xia Anran just glanced at them and was not interested in participating in the game, No. [-] little milk Wang took a small ball made of linen from a blind corner of the door that Xia Anran had not seen before, "Wang woo Woo~"

"Wow~"

"Aww~~~"

Hearing the miserable barking of a dog outside, Xia Anran felt very disturbed, but this group of puppies knew very well that the stove was a place they could not enter, because the boss here was the source of their meat, and it was only in the The screams at the door are getting louder and louder, and they are about to return to their ancestors and evolve into wolf howls. The hearing is very good, so Xia Anran, who has encountered an unprecedented mental attack, can only bid farewell to the uncle chef who is playing on the flat ground with two puppies up.

The puppies’ favorite game right now is to grab the ball, that is, Xia Anran throws a ball, and the two puppies fight each other to get there, and after a lot of “fighting” they grab the ball to Xia Anran, whoever gets there first There are small snacks - a small piece of chicken breast stewed in chicken soup, delicious and delicious!

Picking up a ball is the pre-training for a flying saucer. Yes, it is not an instinct for a dog to catch a flying saucer. Dogs are not animals that cast their gaze into the air, nor are they good at jumping. It is only a step-by-step training for a dog to catch a flying saucer. .

For example, first train the dogs to have the habit of picking up the thrown things and handing them back to the owner, and secondly, let them get close to the flying saucer.And the easiest way to get dogs close to something is to put food in it.

So Xia Anran went back to the room and brought a flying saucer as a small plate for snacks, and played with the two puppies for an afternoon. After stuffing the puppies who were satisfied with sleeping and replenishing their energy back to the kennel, he washed his hands face, changed into a set of clothes, and ran to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

Duoduo did not come back early this morning, probably to follow Bai Jinxi to work. Xia Anran just walked out the door when she heard footsteps behind her. When she turned her head, she saw the fine dog mother following behind. The little milk leopard, obviously, these two are shrewd, knowing that there will be delicious food on New Year's Eve, so they slept all afternoon, and didn't come over until dinner time.

As for the two little puppies who have been lying down... naturally there is nothing left.

Xia Anran didn't mind having these two little followers, and when he walked slowly to the dining room, he found that the inside was covered with window grilles.

The three brothers of the Bai family have already changed into a set of clothes. Needless to say, the three of them must have been exhausted during the day, but how can anyone not be ashamed when cleaning up?When the eyes of several people met, they were full of understanding invisibly.

Xia Anran didn't dare to say that he changed his body because he sweated from playing with the dog and was covered in dog hair. It was definitely different from their situation. He turned his eyes away with guilt in front of the three hard-working Bai family brothers. .

The Song Dynasty also had the habit of keeping the New Year's Eve. Of course, it was different from modern New Year's keeping. At this time, most of the family kept keeping the New Year's Eve together, so the dinner started later, so as not to prevent the main family from being hungry at night. Wouldn't that mean New Year's Eve? It is too unlucky to go hungry on the first day of the new year, so the dinner is all arranged according to the abundance.

The cooks of the Bai family are very skilled, and this year they can use several times more ingredients, whether it is lotus root from Hangzhou, or Songjiang dried fish, smoked fish, cured chicken and duck brought back by Bai Yutang, It's a delicious dish that you can't usually eat at this time of year.

Even the cats and dogs at home got a special meal for cats and dogs, and Duo Duoying also got a lot of snacks made of nuts. Everyone exchanged cups and exchanged cups to wish each other a new year. The atmosphere was very lively.

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, a few people received the banquet, and they sat at a table with preserved and dried fruits... playing mahjong.

Strictly speaking, this is not mahjong, it is a similar Jinhua local card game, the method is a little complicated, but Xia Anran has a good brain, and the other three people know it well. After playing two or three games with him, he quickly got used to it up.This beating took more than an hour.

Several people were excited to play, time passed quickly, and the sleepiness disappeared, until the insider of the Bai family interrupted them, saying that the time was coming, the four men hurriedly put away the toys and picked them up again. Calligraphy and painting, abacus, sugar water and other things.

There is such a reaction because according to the old saying, the first day of the new year is the beginning of the year, so ordinary people should do good deeds on the first day of the new year.

For example, reading books, eating sugar water, etc., such things as playing games and mahjong are absolutely not allowed.

If there are elders in the Bai family, it's definitely not allowed to hit the palm of your hand.

This was Xia Anran's first year in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was a little excited to look around. His students told him that there was an unwritten rule in Jinhua, that is, firecrackers and fireworks would be set off on the first day of the new year. , and whoever's first explosion can be combined with the Dageng sound will have good luck for a year.

Therefore, some families who are not short of money will put a number of firecrackers in the yard, and watch the time and light them in order. After a series of firecrackers are lit, there will always be one that can get stuck, and more cleverly made a series of lead wires. Firecrackers, once lit, can crackle non-stop.

Of course, every new year is the busiest time for the fire brigade. The fire brigade in the Northern Song Dynasty was called "Jun Xunpu", which was the first fire brigade in the world. There is a painful lesson.

In April of the eighth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, a fire broke out in the palace of Rong Wang Zhao Yuanyan, the prototype of the Eight Kings. The most serious thing about the medicine storehouse was that it burned Chongwenyuan and Mige three halls, and burned more than [-] orphan books and collections that had been saved since the war in the Northern Song Dynasty. The engraving was burned together.

This fire directly caused a cultural gap in the history before the Northern Song Dynasty, and also burned most of the ransom money that Song Taizu had hidden to buy Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and it was also the military expenditure for raising troops if he could not buy it.

Therefore, following this lesson, after Renzong ascended the throne, he built a "fire brigade" in Bianjing City. This organization was quickly laid out, but naturally the fire brigade in Bianjing City is the most professional and responsible. After all, they need protection. It was the trade center of the world at that time, and also the heart of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is also the city with the densest wooden structure houses in the world.

Although he couldn't see the outside, Xia Anran knew without thinking that, like the people who watched the year, the soldiers of Jinhua's patrol shop must have been fully prepared to control the fire the moment it started.

But it is also because of the existence of the "fire station" that these Song people play with fire so happily.

It was almost time, and the servants of the Bai family had already picked up the incense sticks to prepare the fire. Everyone waited with bated breath. Amidst the crackling fireworks, there was the sound of the watchman knocking almost at the same time.

Immediately everyone shouted happily, and then the attendants present congratulated the Bai family brothers, and the Bai brothers naturally threw out a lot of red see packets.

It was also at this moment that Xia Anran made a decision.He is going to Jiangzhou De'an.

This is the information that Lu Xiaofeng found out for him when he was on the boat before. Lu Xiaofeng said that the Xia clan over there might be related to Xia Anran.

Originally, Xia Anran didn't really have much interest in checking his own life experience. In his opinion, this is not a big problem, especially when he knew that he had infiltrated the mission target, but the situation is different now.

The location of Huaying Sword is unknown, and there are almost no legends about this sword in the Jianghu, but Xia Anran is also very clear, but it is absolutely impossible for any mission system to issue seemingly unsolvable missions.

That is to say, whether it is the task object or the task props, it must be in a place that he unconsciously ignores.

What Xia Anran ignored intentionally or unintentionally after arriving in this world was his background.

And Lu Xiaofeng, as one of the protagonists in this world, has good luck, even if the answer he gave is not 100% correct, it must be close to the answer.

If you don't look for it, you won't get the answer, so Xia Anran plans to go to Jiangzhou to visit the heir of Xia Chenghao, Duke of Wei.

Xia Anran was not very familiar with the courtiers of the Song Dynasty, it was because there were so many famous officials in the Song Dynasty, they covered up the brilliance of others invisibly.

The deeds of Wei Guogong were only inquired after he arrived in Jinhua. This Duke of Wei died fighting Khitan. However, here is Jinhua, which is far away, and there is not much information spread.

But his son is quite famous.

This person is very good at poetry, and he entered Taoism with words. When he moved to Dengzhou, he encountered a famine, so he tried to get the local rich to distribute two grains, and more than [-] people survived the disaster.

In ancient times, this number was considered astonishing, so after Renzong came to the throne, he made him a household doctor.

But contrary to his political achievements, this person is extremely extravagant, and his flamboyant style has been spread to Jinhua.Among the small and fresh ministers of Song Dynasty, this one was particularly uncoordinated like a big cosmos inserted into a small daisy.

Xia Anran couldn't help having a toothache after hearing all kinds of interesting things about this man, but after he compared his age, he felt relieved. This man is only in his 30s this year, so it seems impossible to be his real father.

But in any case, this is a direction, and this Wei Guogong is a general, although his son is a civil servant, but if he is of the same clan, Xia Anran has a body of internal strength, which is justified.

He planned to leave after the Ching Ming Festival.

"Brother Bai, don't worry," Xia Anran said to Bai Jintang, who was showing a surprised expression, "I have promised to be Mr. Sanlang, so I won't leave without authorization." You set off together, Jinhua and Jiangzhou are on the same Jiangnan East Road, and have the same water network, next time you go back and forth, if it goes well, you can return in more than a month."

"At that time, I will go north to look for you. Brother Bai doesn't have to wait for me. I will settle in Bianjing when the spring is warm. Then you can come and look for me when you go north again."

He spoke easily, but the expressions of the two who listened were blank.

When Lu Xiaofeng talked about it that day, both of them were present, but they heard about it at the time but did not leave a trace, because the two had already confirmed that Xia Anran's identity was different. It was investigated by someone.

Otherwise, Lu Xiaofeng would only know that Xia Anran had lost his memory after boarding the boat, and Xia Anran had been cut off from the boat, so how could Lu Xiaofeng get a message?

At this time, the only remote communication tool is flying pigeons. However, the method of flying pigeons is one-way communication. The pigeons are used to remember the location of the nest, and the method of taking the pigeons out of the nest and returning them. Pigeons do not have the ability to find people, especially in the vast river. , The ability to find a small phoenix among many merchant ships.

Xia Anran's so-called identity was a temptation that Bai Jinxi revealed through Lu Xiaofeng's mouth.

But later, as the investigation deepened step by step, in fact, everyone had already set their sights on Pingnan Palace.

Their tendency is that Xia Anran is the son of Prince Pingnan, or the twins.That's why someone sneaked into the Pingnan Palace to spy before, and that's why Lu Xiaofeng came to report that the Pingnan Palace was stolen again.

Although the results of the investigation have not yet been announced, Bai Jinxi has his own guesses in his heart. Fortunately, Xia Anran decided to leave for a while, and there is still time to arrange one or two things.

Xia Anran just said something in advance, and didn't pay attention to the reactions of several people. He is making an appointment with Bai Jintang for a space on a ship going north, and he plans to bring his pet toys there!

Soon the two were arguing over whether to give money.

Bai Yutang, who didn't know anything, heard about Xia Anran's amnesia for the first time, so he asked what was going on out of curiosity, and he said that he had sworn obeisance to several brothers from the Songjiang Mansion during this trip, and after Xia Anran woke up, Since I was in Songjiang at that time, I might be able to find something locally.

After staying for a few days, he wrote to the brothers in Songjiang Mansion to check Xia Anran's situation, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

For the kindness of the students, Xia Anran naturally complied, and the teachers and students enjoyed it for a while.

He didn't know that several carrier pigeons were released that night, and only two carrier pigeons were lucky enough to escape the frequent firecrackers these days and arrived in Bianjing, and Bai Jinxi's secret language was quickly translated It was sent to Renzong's desk.

The young emperor was silent for a long time after seeing this message. He thought about the time for a stick of incense, and the room was also silent for a stick of incense. Finally, he said, "Chuan Zhao,"

He was dressed in Chinese clothes. At this time, he was going to Chonghua Gate to participate in this year's Lantern Festival to enjoy with the people, but before he left, he suddenly got this letter. He got up and turned his back to the courtiers, while thinking about the door and walking , so that people can't see clearly the emperor's mind at this moment, "Zhaoxia enters Beijing immediately."

The messenger angel arrived in Jinhua half a month later, Xia Anran received the first imperial decree in his life with a confused face, because Renzong's name was Immediately, Xia Anran only had one night to prepare his luggage, and he was caught off guard. On the contrary, the three brothers of the Bai family quickly prepared the carriage for him and sent him to the carriage. Because they were worried about him, Second Young Master Bai simply changed his plan to accompany him to Beijing ahead of schedule.

He was on his way this trip, and it was mid-winter season. Originally, Xia Anran wanted to send Duoduo to Bai's house temporarily, and bring him with him when Bai Jintang went to Beijing, but Xia Duoduo's little paws insisted on pulling his hair and did not want to be left behind. So he had no choice but to take it with him, but the little milk leopard would definitely not be able to take it with him.

Xia Anran didn't plan to take it with him at all, he agreed with Bai Jintang to wait until the beginning of spring, and while releasing the cub, he also wrote down the instructions for the release that he knew, and kept the little milk leopard's food money, and returned the cub. He said that he still has some things to pay attention to. He will write them when he is on his way, and then send them back through the post station, and he will bother Brother Bai.

Brother Bai pushed him into the carriage, saying that he knew everything about you and he was safe.

In a hurry, Xia Anran only had time to take a look at Third Young Master Bai and Mother Xinggou who were standing at the door seeing him off, before being dragged away.

It was only three months since I left Bianjing last time, when I set foot here again, Xia Anran was almost frozen like a dog.

cold, really cold.

The section of the Bianhe River has been frozen, and the only way to go north is to take a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage is not sealed enough, and even if a charcoal basin is burned inside, the cold wind will still blow in.

Fortunately, all the way to the north is an official road, and the road is fairly even. Although the speed is slightly faster, it is not very bumpy.

...At least this level is the level that can be tolerated by lying on the mat after being fully armed.

But the cold was unbearable.

It took one and a half months to go south, and less than half a month to go north. During this half month, Xia Anran was glued to Bai Jinxi's body.

He often said to Bai Jinxi with tears in his eyes, "Zezhen, without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come here!"

It's really not his exaggeration, but this body... really frighteningly afraid of the cold.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xia Anran was in Xiaobinghe. At that time, Xia Anran felt that winter had never been so cold. This body was so weak that Xia Anran felt that all the muscles in her body were white. Not only the muscles, but also the fat. Straight to the bone!

Even Xia Duoduo, a tropical bird, was not as afraid of the cold as he was.

Bai Jinxi has long been used to his behavior, but the escort's little official is not!

The little official heard this sentence eight times if not ten times. From the initial disbelief to the present indifference, I don't know how much torture he has experienced.His personal feeling, his state of mind, is about to transcend everything.

Let's not mention these for now, after all, Xia Anran's biggest trouble is - for some reason, he is going to face the saint suddenly.

He thought about the reason why the emperor summoned him for a long time...Could it be, is it another follower?

Is writing in Song Dynasty so risky?

The author has something to say: change a BUG!There is no moon at the end of the twelfth lunar month (cover your face)

Finally wrote here! !Has anyone discovered the author's tiankeng? Hahahahahaha

What Bai Wuye took is not Huaying~.

The original book was a steel knife, and it was cut off by Zhan Zhao's sword. Bai Wuye practiced both swords and swords, so the film and television dramas used swords instead.

There seems to be no small TIPS today.

Ah, by the way, there is one thing about the bail money prepared by Song Taizu in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

It was said to be a lot of money, a lot of money, a lot of money.

It's a pity that part of it was burned, and part of it was used up when Mount Tai offered sacrifices to heaven, so Renzong didn't have much money in his hands.

Why was the royal family of the Song Dynasty so rich? It was because of taxation.

In fact, there is a folk saying that is not entirely true, saying that the Song Dynasty hid wealth from the people.

In fact, no, the Song Dynasty inherited the Tang system, and because of its peaceful evolution, for the common people, the Song Dynasty was not so much a new dynasty as a continuation of numbness.When the Song Dynasty founded the country, the taxation law during the war was adopted (of course it was not called this name), so the taxation in the early Song Dynasty was very heavy.

Although the Song emperors of all dynasties have been reducing, but when Wang Anshi reformed, he still said that these taxes are enough to overwhelm the common people, and what is even more frightening is that in addition to taxes, there are labors.

It was said before that when the Bianhe River was closed, 30 people would be sent through the Bianhe River.

30 people are just a city in Bianjing. Digging a river every year is a labor labor, but it is impossible to have only this time in a year.Generally, a commoner will be sent to corvee more than 2 to 3 times a year.

Therefore, usury appeared among the people in the Song Dynasty.The people have no choice but to borrow usury and drink poison to quench their thirst.In the end, if it is a good year, it can be repaid. If it is a poor year, then the land has to be redeemed, and the final result is land annexation.

So at that time, Wang Anshi thought of a way-official borrowing, the government will give you money when the people have not collected the grain, and you can return the money to the government after collecting the grain. It seems to be a good way, but it was taken advantage of later.

Moreover, the scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty had a characteristic. They paid attention to integrity, and some went to extremes, either black or white.

That's why they talk too much about things, and they talk about people very harshly.Especially in the Southern Song Dynasty where the Jin and Yuan oppressed, this kind of atmosphere was even more exaggerated, and they only talked about right and wrong, not talking about interests.

For example, you said that I had several seaports at that time, and I was the emperor's official export of some goods in exchange for a small amount of money to subsidize the family, right?No, that is competing with the people for profit and cannot be done.

But the treasury is out of money, I'll find a way to earn some pocket money...

That doesn't work either, it just doesn't work anyway.

It is indeed a good thing to rather be broken than broken, but in terms of national affairs, it is really not so clear.

For example, in our country's diplomacy, we have always done more and said less.

It seems to be a protest against the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but in fact, throwing starfish and water plants in a certain area, you dig out the front foot and I will throw mud on the back foot, these things, cough.It is estimated that young people now know about the war.

Only older people know these things~ (touching his beard)

Shh, these things must be fake, because we are peace-loving rabbits.
