[Group Wearing Song Dynasty] The Glory of the Sky

What Li Luan said was very wild and unconstrained, and he could not fully understand it at the time.

Xin Qiji was used to thinking about problems while doing something, so he tidied up his room, and the quilts were neatly folded.

If you want to be an official in the Song Dynasty, you have to work through your qualifications and try to please the high-level people. If you are lucky, you may be able to get a good position in your thirties like Mr. Lu.

But it is impossible to be an emperor. If you want to be an emperor in the Song Dynasty, the only choice is to lead troops to rebel and kill the king, and you will be cast aside by the people of the world.

The young man rubbed his face, feeling that what Sister Li said was too illusory.

It's like telling someone who just learned how to climb that you can actually fly to the moon.

What's more, he didn't think about where to go to seek long-term development at all, nor did he think about what to do after graduation.

Many concepts, such as free love, such as equality between men and women, such as youth participation in politics, were things that he could not imagine before, but after he really touched them, he would quickly feel a sense of logical acceptance.

Just like the mobile phone, it was like a monster at the beginning, but after a long time of use, I got used to eating with chopsticks every day.

When Liu Xi woke up, dinner was just being served on the table.

Xin Qiji heard the movement, came over and carried him into the wheelchair, and carefully helped him put on his slippers without saying anything.

Liu Xi observed his expression, and felt a little cautious when speaking: "What did Li Luan tell you?"

"She said that you are going to stay in Yangzhou for half a year, and you should say goodbye tonight."

Xin Qiji paused for a moment, and then said again: "Also, she asked me if I wanted to take the CAT to enter the Senate."

Liu Xi took the chopsticks and started to drink the lotus root soup, glanced at him and said, "Are you tempted?"

"No concept," Xin Qiji rubbed his forehead and said, "Many of the concepts here are new to me."

It’s as if other people are familiar with a community, know exactly where their home is, which house to go to when entering the gate, where is the elevator, and how to open the door with fingerprints.

As far as Xin Qiji was concerned, he didn't even know what the community was, and everything—elevators, fingerprint locks, access control systems, and means of transportation downstairs—almost everything he had never touched before.

He also has the ability to walk from the community to his home, but the first step is to know where he is and whether his home is in this area.

Therefore, he had to ponder over many of Li Luan's ideas for a long time before he could gradually determine his choice.

The two sat together and drank a bowl of warm soup, then sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows and chatted while eating pine nuts.

Liu Xi leaned against the big plush bear, licked pine nuts and played with Mo Mo's cat ears, and suddenly asked, "What is your marriage like in the Song Dynasty?"

Xin Qiji thought for a while, and explained according to the concepts in his memory: "It's more like a transaction."

"Deal?" Liu Xi asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"

"In the former dynasty, marriages depended on their family backgrounds. Nobles and commoners could not marry each other, and various etiquette requirements were very strict."

Xin Qiji helped him peel the pine nuts, and explained very seriously: "Now, it has turned into disregarding the family and seeking wealth."

The concept of family status is becoming weaker and weaker. Regardless of the north and the south, regardless of origin, marriage depends on the wealth of the other party, regardless of the status or official position.

"It's not just the gentry, the imperial daughters of the clan will also marry rich people with strong financial resources." Xin Qiji smiled and said: "Although there have been edicts to strictly prohibit this kind of trend, it has been repeatedly prohibited."

"Male fifteen, female thirteen, is the beginning of the transaction."

The married woman has to be accompanied by a generous dowry, and the man has to pay a large amount of dowry, and there are many twists and turns in the wedding.

Due to the excessive vulgar customs, there are even many ordinary people who are burdened with huge usury loans just to allow their children to get married smoothly.

The trend of comparing luxury has developed to the point of anti-humanity in the Southern Song Dynasty, just like the villagers they saw in Pinggong County, even if they can’t eat enough, they still want to wear clothes decorated with emerald jade beads clothes, to show that he is not the shabby outlier among the crowd.

Liu Xun frowned, thinking that it's no wonder that child marriages in Yangzhou City have been banned repeatedly, co-authoring this is all a business.

"What about Linguo?" Xin Qiji asked, "I'm afraid many places are different."

"Well, in Linguo, getting married is more a choice between two people, rather than a transaction between two families."

He put down the pine nuts and began to think about new problems.

No wonder the development of Yangzhou has been in a bottleneck period.

The money is not used for real consumption, and there is no way to stimulate the market. It is all spent on buying land, renting houses and marrying.

At the beginning, they negotiated business with the rich merchants of Jiangyin, trying to expand the industrial chain and consumer market of Yangzhou City, and even moved the agricultural garden to the east of Yangzhou City to reduce transportation and fresh-keeping costs, in order to drive per capita consumption.

But the gap between the rich and the poor is too serious. Even if they think of ways to increase income levels and lower prices, the overall economic situation in Yangzhou City has not improved much.

It turned out that the root was rotten here.

As an ancient person of ordinary origin, no matter what occupation, first of all, if there is an old house in the family, it is already a virtue accumulated by the ancestors.

If you don’t have a house, you have to find a way to spend money to rent a house. There is no possibility of eating meat at ordinary times, and it’s good to be full after a meal.

At the age of marriage, parents must spend a lot of blood to buy all kinds of dowry gifts that can support the appearance. Pearl green tea cakes and satin horses are indispensable, and four or eight gold bottles and wine bottles must be matched. few.

After this marriage, half of the income of the whole family will be paid for, and they may have to borrow usury loans for the rest of their lives.

The Senate did not take care of these things before, because there are too many things to care about, and it will not be able to take care of it for a while.

The second page is indeed because they can't imagine that someone would put up their life savings in order to get married, or even borrow usury to get married.

It is understandable for those who broke their fortunes to buy a house. After all, what they are buying is permanent real estate, but why spend money on these things and buy these wedding utensils that basically will not be resold.

——What is this poor man trying to figure out?

To save face.

Other families marry like this, and everyone in the city like this, and your family is the only one who has frugal marriage customs, isn't it that you don't even care about the etiquette of your ancestors?

It is also because of this that the production lines and various markets that the Senate has spent a lot of effort on have indeed made the people of Yangzhou City slowly start to have money in their pockets, and they can finally eat meat on weekdays.

But everyone is still poor and clean, all the money is spent on gold and silver ritual vessels, and they can't afford the glass and other products in the factory.

Hot eyes will still be hot eyes, so it is inevitable that the thugs in the market will go to the gate of the Senate to yell and argue, and then they will be blasted out by pepper spray.

If this continues, the factory will never be able to pay back its capital, and the consumer market will never be opened.

Even if the price of the product can be suppressed to an outrageous level, the money of ordinary people will be spent on the marriages of their own generation and their children and grandchildren, and they will not have any willingness to consume at all, and their living level will not be improved.

In the end, those nobles were still lying on the pile of money and watching money make money, and only those aristocratic families could participate in new investment and factory construction. Others didn't have much savings at all, and it was difficult for banks and the like to play their full role.

The only thing that can drive it is probably the usury that has been repeatedly banned...

It's really a legacy of bad customs that kills people.

Liu Yuanshou kowtowed the sunflower seeds for an hour, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter could not be easily ignored, so he called a car back to the Senate Council that night to convene a meeting.

After listening to the analysis, the senior officials of the Senate were stunned, speechless by the manipulation of these ancient people.

...Do you need to work so hard to get married?

"Thanks to Yangzhou City, it is strictly forbidden to marry a concubine," Liu Zi rubbed his head and said, "The ancient people here said that the recruiter is a wife and the buyer is a concubine. Anyway, all kinds of human transactions are also disasters."

"Then..." Sun Ci whispered, "Strictly prohibit their marriage customs?"

"It's better to keep it away than to block it. If you want to make them look good, and don't feel conflicted with the people in the Senate, there is only one way - to create a set of rules."

Liu Xi signaled Hu Fei to push some blackboards over, and the white deer next to him was already drinking coffee and looking up literature.

"Tonight, I will also compile a wedding system."

Since they live in an illusory world created by a sense of superiority, let something more superior control them.

In fact, not only there are rumors from the Song State, but even the Jin State has begun to spread various rumors that the Lin State is the land of Yi and Di.

It's just that it's not shameful enough to attack Linguo people, women don't have any shame in dressing indecently, and dare to show their heads openly and hug them.

Then they attack Linguo people for not reading the books of sages and sages, and for not reading the Four Books and Five Classics. They are all men and women who are robbers.

This kind of public opinion attack is still very useful.

Life in ancient times was simple, and people couldn't listen to the news. Only such rumors spread very quickly, and once a prototype was formed, it would continue to expand like a sponge absorbing water.

At the beginning, because of the fire hydrant, more and more rumors spread to Fujian, Zhejiang and Huguang, saying that there was a saint in Yangzhou city who could control the dragon to spray water.

Not to mention the Song Kingdom, a group of people in the Jin Kingdom ran desperately to Yangzhou City because of these rumors, and they all fled in this direction even if they were fleeing.

There were a lot of issues within the Kingdom of Jin that hadn't been resolved, so of course these gossips couldn't be taken into account, but the Kingdom of Song was too close to the neighboring country, so naturally it couldn't be ignored.

If they don't care about it, maybe a group of important officials in the court will go on a pilgrimage-if there is a dragon, how can those people come back? Do you want Zhao Gou's throne? !

It is also because of this that several high-ranking officials gathered together and began to seditiously use poison to fight poison, causing new news to spread in the market, saying that Linguo's origin is unknown, he has no king and no father, and they are all morally bankrupt rats.

Probably there were too many similar remarks, and everyone believed them in the end. Later, when Song officials went to Yangzhou City for inspection, they would show disdainful smiles when they saw those women with bare arms and legs.

At least they occupy the high ground in terms of superiority.

The Senate House was brightly lit all night, just like making up a novel to create a new set of rules.

Now that I have decided to start taking care of this mess and reforming these messy customs, the whole system has to be rounded up, and it is best to let the people from the Ministry of Culture go back and make micro-film tours.

Besides, they still have young people here who can do special effects and editing, so adding some magical special effects to the promotion of these new customs is quite useful.

Whether it's child marriage, wealth marriage, or those things that men are superior to women, they will all be blasted out of Yangzhou City, and no one will protect them.

How to say, also want to win this round.
