Song Beiyun

And the Grand Court Meeting officially kicked off half an hour after they left. This unprecedented grand court meeting, because it is related to the issue of changing the year name, so we have to go to the newly built Temple of Heaven next to the unfinished New Palace Sacrifice.

Xiao Song likes this show the most. The Nuo dance performed by thousands of people, accompanied by the drums and the knocking of wooden sticks used as spears, is of extraordinary momentum.

This is an amazing traditional culture, and sacrifices should have the appearance of sacrifices, which is much more powerful than the kind of dance in Japan later on.Front and back, the forbidden army cleared the way, and there were five thousand dancers, plus 99 tribute cars at the rear, it really has the texture of the heaven and the kingdom.

There is a new rule this year, that is, the tributes are distributed to the poor people on the spot after the sacrifice, so there are a lot of things, there are more than a dozen carts for three animals, big and small. There are 49 carts of wheat and bean, and the rest is all kinds of food from various places.

"This is Shang Guo..."

AhZi stood at the window and watched the parade pass by, sighing in her heart.No matter how exaggerated the description in the hometown picture scroll is, it is still not one ten-thousandth of this shocking scene.

How to describe it... joy.

Yes, it is joy.That kind of joy from top to bottom, young children can cheer and follow the solemn convoy forward, and what the soldiers maintain is not order but the majesty of the dancers.

The kind of confidence and joy revealed everywhere is not seen in other places. She has traveled with her family since she was a child and has seen countless places, but none of them can have such a hustle and bustle.

"I'm so envious." Ah Zi leaned against the window and said to herself, "It would be great if I was born here."

Chapter 662: On January 1st, Five Years, Sunny was appointed Marquis by Jun Mo's words

After the sacrificial ceremony, the entire court meeting entered a formal process. First, the wise and powerful Zhao Xing gave a speech. This speech was his solo, but Zhao Xing, who had undergone intensive training, was already familiar with this situation. A lot of inspiring speeches came out of his mouth continuously.

If you say that he paints cakes, he actually paints, but because most of the cakes he painted in previous years have been cashed in, his words are extremely weighty now.

His speech was co-authored by Song Beiyun and Yan Shu. It sorted out the internal and external affairs respectively, and established various goals for the new year and the assessment plan standards for the whole year.

After these important speeches, he also proposed the latest support system for the first time, and then continued to expand the thinking and vision of officials at all levels with the central idea of ​​getting rid of old poverty and improving farmers' well-being.

At the same time as Xiao Song was speaking, the newspapers at all levels in the city, which were basically indifferent to each other, were surprisingly unified today. They began to issue additional issues and reported Zhao Xing's important speech in the form of large-scale, front-page headlines.

In teahouses, wineries, river embankments, and even in brothels, many people can be seen carefully reading newspapers that have just been printed and still smell of ink.

If it is on the street, there will usually be a storyteller holding an oil-paper umbrella, surrounded by a few or even a dozen illiterate people, explaining to them.

"What are these three sticks and one support?"

"Support agriculture, support education, support border poverty." Someone next to him replied immediately: "It means to let scholars go to the countryside to become teachers, teach us to farm and study, and lead us to make money."

"They also know how to farm?"

"Well, no matter what, the officials are thinking of us."

There are endless discussions on the street, among which the most discussed are not these new national policies but the benefits behind the national policies. The most eye-catching thing is that after three years of going to the countryside, you can become an official. Lack of alternate officers.

This should be put in the usual way, it is the treatment that only the master Juren can afford, but now he was brought up like this unexpectedly.

Is there any objection?Of course there are people who object, but the current opposition can no longer cause much trouble, because the time when the new national policy was launched happened to be the time when the Song Dynasty completed the first round of official system reform. Power is still concentrated in the hands of the imperial court, and because of multiple regulatory mechanisms, it is very difficult to obey the law and violate the law.

Moreover, the joint recommendation system is not only a guarantor system, but also closely related to the local gentry and powerful people. Everyone has to weigh this new policy plan now.

In addition to these contents, more, such as the Chang'an Imperial Examination New Deal as a pilot, is also eye-catching.

The local imperial examination system in Chang'an is applicable to officials of the seventh rank and below in Yongzhou. The imperial examination there is set every year in late spring and early summer. This is the first time since the establishment of the imperial examination system that there have been divisions.

The so-called sub-subjects are divided into science and engineering. Science still maintains the original subjects, with a slight increase.However, engineering is almost completely new, and the word "work" is divided into twelve major items, including basic necessities, food, housing and transportation.

Moreover, if the students in Chang'an successfully pass the imperial examination there, they will not become officials directly, because they will go to a new school to study intensively for three years.

This is actually subversive. Although it is actually more powerful than the previous basic national policy, it is really because the applicability is not high, and only people with local household registration in Yongzhou can adopt it, so everyone is discussing it. Fan turned around and gave up.

There are some opponents, but now Zhao Xing is firmly established in the sea of ​​the people. The turbulent public opinion makes the passengers on the flat boat of the court dare not make big moves. Si's all-pervasive posture, it's not easy to be an official now...

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to this. The disadvantage is that as long as Zhao Xing’s butt is still sitting on the side of the crowd, he must constantly modify the existing problems, and every modification will cause people’s cakes to be touched. Come to the hatred of some people in the court.

This is a time bomb that will explode at some point, and everyone has to wait in fear.

"It's not over yet?"

Song Beiyun stood in the third row, and deliberately chose a position next to the pillars, because he really didn't have a good rest last night, and he had already started to doze off there when he came to the stage to give a speech. talking about...

"If you don't eat, you can't sleep well." Xiao Song whispered to a third-rank governor next to him: "You said this is not a crime."

When the court criticizes officials, it is not an ordinary person who can do such a thing, but seeing that he is Song Beiyun, the governor next to him can only smile wryly, and hide from the side, for fear of being contaminated by this person's evil spirit. After all, he is known as the assassin of the governor. Can't afford to provoke.

And at this moment, several servants of the Si Ming Division who came over to inspect stopped in front of Song Beiyun. Everyone thought they were going to reprimand him, but who knew that it was just such a split second, and Xiao Song was still hot with two more hands. meat buns.

The surrounding officials, big and small, couldn't help but turn their heads to look around when they smelled the tempting aroma of scallions and meat, but Song Beiyun simply squatted down in the crowd and started to eat big mouthfuls.

"The one who eats buns."

On the stage, Zhao Xing finally stopped speaking, and just pointed at Song Beiyun: "Get out and eat."

"I would like to obey the imperial decree..."

Xiao Song left the hall with the buns in his hands, thinking that he was indeed a little too much, the buns tasted strong, and now the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were starving, so eating like this would really not have a good effect.

So he sat on the steps in front of the Palace Square and basked in the sun while eating steamed buns. After a while, a boss of the Imperial City Department in a colorful flying fish suit stepped forward, quietly handed him a cup of tea, and then Then he continued to patrol with a knife and a team.

Drinking tea and eating steamed stuffed buns, listening to the voices coming from the hall behind, the sun shining on the body is very warm, very pleasant.

"Well, come here."

Xiao Song pointed to a court lady who was hurrying by: "Come."

The little palace maid came forward tremblingly, bowed her legs and bowed: "What orders do you have, Your Excellency?"

"I'll go and get some fruit for me later, and if you look in the kitchen for any good things that the country pays tribute to, steal some, and no one will find out if there's nothing wrong."

"Yes……"

But before the words fell, there was a reprimand from inside: "Song Beiyun, get out of here!"

Xiao Song got up immediately, put the cup aside, straightened his clothes and ran in.

As soon as he entered, the surrounding officials all looked at him and laughed, but Zhao Xing was so angry that his eyes bulged out: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat all day long, and you only think about eating in the court hall." !"

Xiao Song lowered his head, and asked an official next to him abruptly: "I was so loud just now?"

The official nodded hurriedly...

In the first row, King Fu glanced back at his son-in-law who was making a fool of himself, sighed and shook his head silently.

"Since you have eaten, just watch when I give you a banquet." Zhao Xing waved his sleeves: "Come here, give a banquet for all the officials, Song Beiyun has no part."

"Hey!"

Just as Xiao Song was about to speak, Zhao Xing had already got up and went back to rest. As soon as he left, many maid servants brought low tables and placed one in front of all the officials. Only Song Beiyun had nothing in front of him, only a string of banana……

"What is this? Feed the monkey?" Xiao Song asked the palace lady with a banana in her hand, "Just give me this thing?"

"The official said... said... only this for you, it's a tribute from Fanbang."

The officials, large and small, sat next to him and wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh. They had heard that Song Beiyun had a wild temper. Now that he saw... If he hadn't been really capable, he would have gone to Qiongzhou to watch the waves.

Xiao Song was very unconvinced, but he couldn't run to the harem in full view, so he wandered in front of the officials like a night watchman.

"Oh, Mr. Huang... eat chicken, it looks good."

"Master Xu, this mutton is very good. I was lucky enough to see it in a restaurant three years ago."

"Dingguo...ah, it's okay. You eat slowly."

After walking around for a long time, when the officials saw Song Beiyun coming, they blocked their food with their arms early, for fear of being sprayed by his saliva.

Until he strolled in front of Yan Shu, he squatted down and put the banana on the low table: "Come on, banana."

Yan Shu protected his grilled lamb chops: "Don't take mine!"

Having said that, the lamb chops did not escape the clutches after all, but when the matsutake mushroom soup came, Yan Shu put the spoon in his mouth and put it back into the soup with lightning speed.

"Okay, you are ruthless!" Xiao Song snorted coldly: "Yes, yes, kill them all."

Yan Shu said while eating a banana, "Who is to blame for what you found yourself?"

"Give me back the banana!"

"This is my lamb chops, don't give it!"

"Will you give it? Don't give me a hand."

"You beat me to death, right above this court."

Lao Zhang, who was sitting not far from Yan Shu, moved the table away calmly, as far away as possible from these two childish things, until he put the table together with the Hubu Shangshu sitting next to him Just stopped.

"Just like a child." Hubu Shangshu said with a light smile, "It's nice to be young."

"Yeah..." Lao Zhang also shook his head with a smile: "Didn't you and I look like this when we were young?"

"Hahahaha..." Hubu Shangshu laughed: "When you and I were classmates, you beat me a lot."

"Then you deserve it. You are mean and mean, and it was Yulian who beat you up."

"Yulian... I don't know what's going on with her now." Hubu Shangshu sighed silently: "Half a lifetime has passed like this, but it's the first time I've ever eaten and drank in this court today."

"You have to thank Mr. Song for being able to eat." Lao Zhang said with a smile: "If it weren't for him, you and I don't know when we will be able to eat."

"That's right, the bastard is the bastard, the talent is really talented, the old man is ashamed of himself." Hubu Shangshu shook his head and said: "I heard that today he will be named Jiangyin Marquis? That's a county lord... This is a bit against the rules Bar?"

"I don't know, eat your meal well."

Chapter 663: On January 1nd of Five Years

Today's additional newspaper in Jinling City is in Zi Shibu's hand. She has studied Sinology since she was a child, and she knows the words and sentences in it very well. In Song Dynasty, her favorite thing is this small newspaper in her hand.

Buy a copy for one or two pennies and keep it at hand, and you can know the affairs of the world and family affairs without leaving home. All comment, discuss and argue.

What a boldness and such confidence.

Although it has only been more than a year, Zi Shibu has actually been deeply fascinated by this country. Although she has a mission, it does not affect her liking for everything in Song State, and among all of them, her favorite Even women can publish articles in newspapers.

It's also interesting to say that although I hide in the brothel, all the expenses for food and clothing are transferred from the manuscript fee.

A story she is serializing on Wen Wei Po is very popular now. It is known as one of the three master articles. It tells the love and hatred between two big families. The Xiao Zi in it is based on herself. of.

What was a series of grievances and love affairs that occurred when she was married to another family since she was a child, and then with that man who was nearly 20 years older than herself.

With her exquisite writing style and precise grasp of women's psychology, she has deceived countless girls into tears. Now this book, which has not yet been serialized, has been called the "Three Treasures of Wenhui" together with the other two books.

Today, however, her focus is not on the entertainment section, but on the detailed explanation of the Three Branches and One Support Plan in the Workers and Peasants Daily.

She read it back and forth three times, and felt that this was really a genius plan, because for nothing else, it clearly stated that no nationality, no race, no age, as long as the annual evaluation score was higher than [-] , For five consecutive years, he can be a substitute official.

Moreover, the Labor Daily and the Agricultural Daily commented on this policy from different angles. Although they were all applauded, the Agricultural Daily was actually looking down on it. Nothing can compare to the peasants who face the loess all the year round and their backs to the sky.

In this regard, countless scholars wrote letters to the Agricultural Daily to issue refutations, and they will be able to read the contents of these refutations tomorrow.

Of course, apart from these, Murasaki Shikibu has often excerpted some policies and measures from newspapers for more than a year, and this series of policies has been coherent, and she was surprised to find that this is actually a chain of development, one chain after another.

And going back to the source, this series of reforms began about five years ago. The first reforms were the imperial examinations and the system of selecting scholars, followed by rounds of business reforms, agricultural reforms, and military reforms. The reforms and official reforms were not drastic each time, but after accumulating time and time again, the entire Song State was completely different from the original Song State.

After discovering this, Zi Shibu believes that this year will definitely usher in the first great change period of the Song Dynasty, because everything is ready and only the east wind is owed.

Sure enough, what she saw in the newspaper already made people's hearts throb, but this alone might not be the ultimate goal.

So where will the biggest change be?

When Zi Shibu was flipping through the newspaper with doubts, a piece of inconspicuous news suddenly aroused her great interest, that is, the new regulations for the pilot scientific examination in Chang'an.

After she finished reading it carefully, she jumped up from the bed with unconcealed excitement. She read the above items carefully again in disbelief, and her heart was beyond shocked.

This is a subversion of the rules for selecting scholars since the Han Dynasty. It seems that there is not much change, but if you are interested here, you can see that it has clearly begun to highlight the word "fair", because all scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce can take exams. The establishment of engineering is simply a subversion of the original model.

Zishibu was a little confused about the fact that after the exam, instead of being awarded credit, he had to go to the next level of academy for further study, Zi Shibu did not understand, but it was clearly stated that the state would give money.

There is one more, male or female.However, there will be divisions between male and female colleges.

This... this... This made Zi Shibu feel a little throbbing, she didn't want to leave this place, and now she saw this place, she didn't want to leave here even more.

Because in Heianjing, even the daughter of the royal family is just a bargaining chip in the deal. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been married to a man in his 20s at the age of six.

Compared with the aggressive and courageous style of the older Song women, the women in Ping'an Jing are like aggrieved puppies who can only rely on men's handouts to survive.

And Da Song... women can take the initiative to ask for separation, and they can also come out to work independently.For her Zi Shibu, this is a fate-like existence.

But now that she has responsibilities on her shoulders, it is not easy to stay in Song Dynasty, and she is already married, even if she wants to find someone to marry, she will still go back obediently as long as someone from the Yuan family finds her.

She actually lied, she was a fugitive, but she was accused of escaping marriage...

Full of grief, she lay tossing and turning on the bed. Hiding around like this was not a long-term solution, after all, she needed to think of a way to get herself out of the sea of ​​suffering.

She thought of Song Beiyun, who looked like a bad guy, but quickly denied it, because that guy was too bad, and Zi Shibu didn't think she had the ability to coax him around like he was coaxing others.

And at this moment, when Jinling is bustling with activity, the imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom is also quite lively.
