"I finally understand why you dare to offend Wang Quanbin," Zhao Kuangyin murmured.

"I think Your Majesty is a saint, so I have the courage. Even if Your Majesty is an emperor like Wu Zetian, I will protect myself and say nothing. I have some courage given by Your Majesty, not the natural courage of my Majesty."

"You write a note to present the imperial examination system."

"Here."

"There is also that amusement park. I heard that there are shoes and skateboards."

"It's true that shoes were the idea that Weichen came up with temporarily, but the skateboard was not what Weichen thought of. Mr. He has been to the north and some semi-fishing and semi-herdsmen in the depths of Liaodong use this kind of skateboard for transportation in winter, or hunting wrongly, and it should be even more backward."

“Can they be used in military terms?”

Song Jiu thought for a while and shook his head, "No, it is very rough. If you want to use it for military purposes, there are several conditions. The first technology cannot keep up. It must be a more advanced skateboard to cross the country, fly over obstacles, and advance from hills on a large slope. Moreover, the soldiers themselves carry armor, carry weapons, and are strong in physique. The army advances, and it will take hundreds of miles to advance. If it breaks down halfway, would it be possible to let these soldiers stay in the snow field? It is not enough to bring a preparatory skateboard. Your Majesty asked, it is mostly for the Northern Khitan Northern Han?"

"yes."

"When it comes to the north, I have some ideas. Let's talk about skateboarding first. The north is just a cloud of clouds. Even in winter, the snow may not be that thick. There are many rocks on the ground exposed outside, which is not conducive to the advancement of skateboards. Unless Your Majesty has the ability to expedition to the depths of the Khitan. But our dynasty has not unified the Central Plains yet, and that time is too early. So these two exist, so the skateboard cannot be placed on the military. Just look at the Khitan to know. They also rarely use troops in the late winter. Don't they know this? It's inconvenient.

But when it comes to Khitan, I want to say one thing. I dare to say one thing. Your Majesty’s intention is to say one thing first. Your Majesty’s intention is to first south and then north. Once the world is unified, it is strong enough to fight against the Khitan. But I am worried about another thing. At this time, the King of Khitan is the famous sleeping king, the commander of the stupid ministers and the soldiers of our dynasty are at the highest combat power. If we use the idea of ​​the Wei minister, it is better to attack the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun first. The Later Han gave up and ignored them. They are just a small country. They barely protect themselves. Based on the dangers of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, they will slowly recover the Central Plains."

In fact, this was Chai Rong's strategy, but Chai Rong was also forced at that time. There was Li Jing in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he was not Li Yu. Although Meng Chang was Meng at the time, he did not become stupid. Both of them were difficult to crack. So Chai Rong thought about it repeatedly and turned the gun to deal with the Khitan. Although the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun had not been taken down, at least three passes of Yingzhou were taken into his hands, and the situation in the Song Dynasty would be even worse.

"It's not appropriate. If you fight with the Khitan, it will be a long war, which is different from Cao Cao's situation. My strategy is still the Tang Dynasty's policy, first south and then north. Otherwise, once a stalemate with the Khitan, the best result will be at most Cao Wei, and the bad result will be. No one can predict it."

Song Jiu scratched his head.

This idea was not thought of by him, but from his previous life. But I believe that those people's military talents are definitely not as talented as Zhao Kuangyin. Since Zhao Kuangyin is the strategy of starting from the south and then the north, it is inconvenient to say more. At least the Northern Song Dynasty unified the Central Plains and had a stable country, rather than being divided like before.

"That's it."

"His Majesty……"

"I have decided."

"Your Majesty, even if a gentleman's word is as good as he can, you can know that mistakes can be corrected and that there is no great virtue. Your Majesty, what is the injustice of the ten evils that are unforgivable?"

There were ten serious crimes in ancient times. Those who committed these crimes must be killed and cannot be forgiven. Rebellion and great rebellion refer to intentionally destroying the ancestral temples, mountain and mausoleums, evil rebellion, beating and murdering parents and grandparents, disrespect, stealing emperor's sacrificial supplies for forging imperial medicines, unfilial, abuse of parents, and getting married and having fun while filial. In the Song Dynasty, the latter would not be executed. For example, the son of the Eight Virtue Kings was not harmonious, murdering relatives and elders or women beat their husbands. However, in the Song Dynasty, a woman beat her husband was not considered a ten evil. She can only be said to be a serious family scandal and incompetent discipline, and would be demoted. For example, in the later Xia Shu. Unrighteousness, officials killed each other, and scholars

The chief was killed by the master, the student killed the teacher, and the woman remarried immediately after her husband died. In civil strife, siblings or similar relatives committed adultery, but in the Song Dynasty, only siblings were allowed, and the others were not counted. For example, Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi were both suspected of adultery with their younger generations, and they were not investigated. In addition, it was not a murderer, murdering three people in a family or dismembering people. Li Chuyun did not count, but a prisoner of war, and Wang Quanbin did not count, because prisoners of war could not be considered a true sinless person in this era. However, Wang Jixun dismembered the slaves and servants, which was a real injustice! Moreover, injustice was ranked among the top four or five unforgivable, and it was a very serious crime.

"I will send someone to follow Wang Jixun strictly, so don't mention this matter again." Zhao Kuangyin walked out depressedly. He wanted to teach this kid a lesson, but he didn't want to teach this kid a lesson. Moreover, Song Jiu brought out a disgrace, and Zhao Kuangyin couldn't tell it even if he wanted to. Depressed, he sent someone to call Wang Jixun and kneel in front of his sister's portrait for an hour. You were both born to the same parents, why are the two of them so different in character?

Chu Zhao said with a close tribute: "Okay, Song Jiu, you are the real gentleman."

Old Chu was convinced.

"Chu Si Envoy, do you think I am a gentleman like this? A gentleman is not involved, but he has nothing to do with the jester. I don't even dare to take good people by myself. I'm still a gentleman, Chu Si Envoy, don't scare me."

Chu Zhaofu thought about it and found that in the eyes of the world, the image of a gentleman is always square. For example, Lu Yuqing, Liu Wensou, and Song Jiu are out of touch, but when you think about it this way, Old Chu is also sad. So, is Liu Wensou considered a gentleman? Then who can be considered a real gentleman?

But he still whispered: "Your Majesty doesn't care about you, so don't mention this matter again in the future."

"What's the point? At worst, I won't be this judge. Will Your Majesty let me teach? Now it hasn't become a court, but it has become a court. Can it leave me? And Hezhou, the court does not need my taxes, does it not need my skills?" However, Song Jiu did not want to mention it again, not mention it, but it can be done. When he got home, he shouted Guo and asked: "What's the nature of Qi Shaochun and Huang Qing? Can I believe it?"

"You can believe that the two of them are brave and enthusiastic."

"Guo Da, I think they will do something for me."

"Kyuro. What's the matter?"

"Did you hear that Wang Jixun was slaughtering his servants?"

"I heard it."

"You asked them to stare at Wang Jixun and specifically stare at him. I wonder if they have the courage."

"Jiulang, Your Majesty doesn't want to be slandered. What's the use of letting them keep an eye on Wang Jixun?"

"You don't have to worry about this, just keep an eye on it. If there is any special thing to report to me, they don't know if they have the courage."

"What's not to dare to just stare at people, but Kyuro..."

"I know that things are serious, just like I have said a few words but have not written a memorial." Song Jiu said, this man is still alive. He is still in the capital. I am afraid he will eat human flesh in the future. Once the truth about eating human flesh is revealed, let's see how Zhao Kuangyin protects it.

A few days later, the Pan brother and sister arrived together.

When they met, Pan Weide smiled bitterly: "Brother-in-law, you are so brave."

Pan Lian'er tried her best to pinch Pan Weide.

Song Jiu was stunned and asked, "What brother-in-law?"

"My mother will return to the capital the day after tomorrow and send a housekeeper to come back on horseback and ask me to notify you. She will send a matchmaker to my house to get a post from the grass tomorrow."

This is the formal negotiation of marriage, but there are many things. In this era of patriarchal power, the woman must first send the post to the man. The content of the post will state the names, family positions, property of the three generations of great-grandfather, grandfather, and father. Asking for the man for the man to ask for divination and prayer, which means to calculate whether the two characters are in harmony. If the marriage is defeated by the husband, the marriage will not be completed, and then pray for lottery draws and ask for good luck. If it is drawn out, it will be a bad luck, but it will not work. Everything is good. Even if it is done, the man will send the post to the woman for divination and prayer to see if it is defeated by the woman. In fact, this is mostly a formality.

The following is the important thing. The detailed post will explain the situation at home in more detail, including property, property, land, and livestock. You must write it out together. Then write down the amount of the decree gift, the amount of betrothal gift, and the amount of wealth. The more you are, the more particular the family is.

If the woman has no objection, she will also reply to a detailed post to state the situation at home and the dowry. If the man cannot spend 100 guan to marry a wife, and the woman only spends 100 guan to accompany the dowry, the man will not be happy.

Just like Pan Mei wanted face this time and asked for a dowry, the Song family agreed. If she only accompanied a few thousand guan of dowry, Song Jiu would not speak, and Yuping would gossip. This is very important, and many marriages would be ruined on this betrothal gift and dowry.

After discussion, it was agreed that the man and woman met. This article would definitely have no problem with Song Jiu and Pan Lian'er.

In fact, there is no problem with the detailed post. Pan Mei is really greedy for the dowry? Now this is just this precious daughter, she can be greedy but not greedy. Therefore, Pan Weide simply called her brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, don't pinch me, it hurts, Jiulang, you really can't ask about the uncle."

"Kyuro is a good person, but he doesn't look like you."

"Little sister, don't defend him. I'm doing this for your own good. Jiulang, do you know that yesterday, the uncle of the king heard that you impeached him and wanted to take someone to settle the score with you. He was caught by the soldiers."

"Then he will come." Song Jiu said lightly. Wang Jixun didn't come. He just found an excuse for himself and kicked out his deeds with an injustice, so as to save the time from being disgusted.

Pan Weide looked at his sister, and Pan Lianer also said, "Jiulang, my brother is not unreasonable. Your family business is very important now. So many students rely on you, and so many yamen rely on you. The money saved by the people of the two rivers will be invested in the Hezhou industry. You can't have any trouble."

"It's still my little sister who can talk."

"I know."

When the Pan brother and sister left, Yuping said, "It's finally done."

"Yu Ping, you are the one who treats you the most."

"With Jiulang's words, what else can I do wrong? Besides, you can't even stand the abuse of my uncle and kill me. I will follow you in the future, and you can still treat me badly. You say that things in the world are hard to be complete in the past, and people cannot be greedy. Just like Jiulang, you became a high-ranking official, but you feel sad because you are too rich and honorable."

"This is all self-comfort, so why not do this. Let's first test the birth date and sign it for a sign." Then he ran to the library to find the books for fortune-telling and signing. Most of them were donated by some wealthy people, including many fortune-telling books. Find them and compare them with them. What should I do? It is to give Yuping a small compensation to let her take the lead. First test the eight characters, and the two of them have a very good match, which is not a good match, but also a good fortune. Then pray the lottery, and after praying, the lottery is drawn. Yuping looked up and looked at it, and his face changed, and it turned out to be a hurdle.

Needless to say, it was a signing, Song Jiu said: "Don't be anxious."

I thought to myself, aren’t you too much trouble? Then I opened the book and said that the road was full of rain and snow, the road was muddy, the road was not clear, the disease was difficult to cure, and marriage was slow, and it was difficult to make money. In other words, I took out this ticket to ask about travel, but it was not easy to travel, and I couldn’t ask about disease, but it was difficult to cure it. I asked about money, but I couldn’t ask about things, but I couldn’t do it. It was a first-class bad sign. But asking about marriage was not that bad, but marriage was a little slower, and it could be accomplished, and there were many difficulties in the middle.

Then Song Jiu put down the sign and said, "I can't believe it."

Yu Ping couldn't help laughing. If they said that their marriage was unhappy, they would definitely not believe it if they said that their marriage was slow. In fact, this was Yu Ping's insistence, and it was also considering the feelings of the Pan family, otherwise Song Jiu would be able to include Yu Ping at any time. Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin knew the words "Madam".

Song Jiu said: "Fortunately, no matter whether you can believe it or not, it is not too evil, or you also ask Mom Li to post a post."

"Is there any such rule?" Yu Ping asked suspiciously. If there are many rules for formal marriage, there are fewer rules for taking concubines. In the Song Dynasty, there was a rental system for taking concubines. If you give some money, you can actually sell them to the man. The man can also hold a banquet, but it is not as grand as a regular marriage. It is a matter of finding a snack. A few tables of private banquets and weddings can also hold a wedding. Women must wear pink wedding makeup. If they wear bright red wedding makeup, they have to find a snack. Five years later, the contract expires,

Women can return to their parents' home. Even daughters who have been concubines are often more popular to marry again. After all, they do not attach so much importance to chastity, but women who have become concubines are not only polite, but also can handle housework and manage property. The Song Dynasty is more realistic. When such a woman is taken back, the couple will immediately get on track and even lose the training process. Why not do it? But Zhao Kuangyin said that Yuping has no such thing as a wife, and there is no contract period in her life.

There are no relevant rules for other concubines. Song Jiu said, "Don't worry about him, just let Mom Li's next post, let's do it together."

"You're a fool," Yuping, but she pursed her lips and ran out to find Li's mother. Li's mother also laughed and scolded Wulao, and was also happy to post. In order to make Yuping satisfied, they did it nonsense, but instead of asking matchmakers for three matchmakers and six certificates, no one would impeach them. This is not the main thing, it is mainly the next day.

The next day, the Pan family matchmaker came over.

This is also Tian’s idea. If the eight characters are not in line, she will not have to come forward, and the marriage will fail. If it is in line, she will come to the capital to discuss it. Then she will ask a middle-aged matchmaker. It would be too early. The matchmaker handed over Pan Lian'er's post, and Song Jiu invited the divination gentleman. He was afraid that he would talk nonsense, so Song Jiu gave him a big piece of silver and handed over his eight characters. After collecting the silver, he knew it. Everything was fine, good luck...
Chapter completed!
