Chapter 193 The happiness of men

Chapter 193: Men's sense of happiness

Zhao Xing watched Gao Qiu's lips move. He wanted to say: In a few years, your son Gao Yanei will also commit the crime of teasing others in the street. Therefore, according to the Song Xingtong, the people of the entire Bianliang City became criminals who "don't save the danger" and they should all be exiled.

But Zhao Xingcai opened his mouth and suddenly realized that "Water Margin" was compiled by people in the Ming Dynasty. The person who compiled it measured the Song Dynasty with the thinking of people in the Ming Dynasty. He did not know that the bully was actually an entertainment star in the Song Dynasty. Its purpose was to let ordinary people entertain themselves, and beat them up when they were idle, to relieve the resentment they suffered in their lives... In short, the real situation is: if there is really a Gao Yanei who does everything evilly in Bianliang City, then the people of Bianliang City in Bianliang City will become criminals who "don't save them when they see danger". According to the law, the two million people in Bianliang City in Tokyo should be exiled! The author of Water Margin fabricated a Gao Yanei and turned his brush gently, and all the people in Tokyo were kidnapped by him.

But Zhao Xing still didn't speak out because it was meaningless to say that these things were meaningless. "Water Margin" was originally a novel, and it was purely boring to blame others for the plot of the novel.

Looking at Gao Qiu's back, Zhao Xing suddenly remembered his fate. Su Shi had experienced a process of being demonized, and his articles and copybooks were destroyed. Fortunately, the Japanese and eunuchs, Liang Shicheng, one of the six thieves, retained his works, so that after Su Shi was rehabilitated, the Chinese could see the masterpiece of this great poet again.

Gao Qiu was distorted with Su Shi in the era when Su Shi was slandered. Su Shi's poems were so charming that it was difficult for others to distort, but Gao Qiu was different. This person had no poems, so he was not protected by the Japanese. So later he was evil, bullying men and dominating women, and he was corrupt...

In this environment, can the others around Su Shi be spared?

Hard to say!

As far as Zhao Xing knows, the Sixth Scholars of Su Jun, who were closely related to Su Shi, were protected by the Japanese, so their poems were not buried. Pan Dalin, who had a little far-reaching relationship with Su Shi, had few lines of poetry left behind. In addition to Pan Dalin, it seems that Liao Zi is also one of them.

What about him? What about him? Will he be distorted into a corrupt official who does everything evil in the years to come? Even if he does nothing evil, others will write him as doing everything evil?

History is sometimes terrifying.

Anger surged from Zhao Xing's heart. He slapped the table and pointed at the yamen runner below and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Why are you weak? Didn't sleep well yesterday? I said, lift the 'tickle board' higher and higher, and look at the person in front of you with full of anger. If you hit the board, you should run over the stone slab like a fast horse, making a series of 'da da da da da da' sound..."

Zhao Xing knocked out the tune of "Light Cavalry March" on the table and continued, "You must beat up with anger and stare at a little wider. The guy in front of you beat your child and teased your wife... Yes, just like that, you have to empathize with it."

The yamen runner who beat the board swung the punishment stick, which is what Zhao Xing called the tickling board, imitating Zhao Xing's tune, making a delicate and loud crackling sound... But the tune went to a climax and stopped abruptly. The yamen runner who beat the board said in a slight look: "I forgot to count!"

Everyone present looked dark, but Li San was in good spirits, and he lay down on the ground, shouting loudly, "Sir, I remember, I counted, he beat twenty more."

The faces of several officials present immediately turned green.

In this era called "Wind Song", the government did not agree to severely punish those who made minor mistakes. The edict stipulated the size, length and number of penalties, and also stipulated that officials should not use punishments on prisoners. Once the punishment is used indiscriminately, if the number exceeds the specified number, they will be impeached by the censor and the injured will be paid "injured medicine fee".

In other words, Zhao Xing has beaten too many boards now, so he can not apologize to the criminal, but he has to pay the other party to recover from the injury. The amount of this money is not explicitly stipulated, and it depends entirely on the officials and the prisoners to discuss it.

Back then, Bu Qing was rampant in Bianliang because he was able to be beaten by his subordinates. He was not afraid of the government's beating, but the government was afraid of his revenge, so even Bao Zheng had no choice but to do anything to him.

Now, the initiative has been in Li San's hands.

Li San was very lucky. He lived in the Song Dynasty. Li San was very unfortunate. He met Zhao Xing, a time traveler. Zhao Xing had no other money. He produced his own copper coins, so he was beaten a few more, which didn't matter to Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing slapped the table and shouted: "So what if you beat too much? How much does it cost? How much does it cost to recover from your injuries? I paid... Well, since you have given the money to recover from your injuries, you will also be careless. If you are seriously injured, you will also be careless. Just take a serious injury - someone will come and continue to beat it."

After the officials of the Song Dynasty were impeached, they would be impeached, but who would impeach Zhao Xing? Even if someone impeached him, would Zhao Xing be afraid of impeachment? The native Song Dynasty people may take into account their reputation, but Zhao Xing is not afraid of others' words.

Li San, who was lying under the hall, screamed loudly. He said in a suffocating manner: "I don't want money, sir, I don't want money... Well, it's enough to be closer to the exile place, it's best not to exile."

Zhao Xing smiled very honestly. When he saw his smile, Gao Qiu was also smiling. He looked at Li San who was lying on the ground with pity, and was very happy. Zhao Xing asked curiously: "You said you had hit you fifteen more times, and only you could tell this number. Who else counted? Who is you, a criminal who didn't save you when you see danger! You said: Are your words credible, or are the words of the yamen runners credible?"

Li San was a little stupid. Before he could understand the trap in Zhao Xing's words, Gao Qiu had already raised his thumbs up and the yamen runners who were hitting the boards in the hall frequently winked. Li San, who was stupid, replied honestly: "Of course, it's the final word for the adults."

Zhao Xing nodded: "So, you are also an honest person - I honestly tell you that the yamen runner who beats the board forgot to count, I didn't forget. I just counted, no more or less, and he happened to hit you for fifteen. Do you have anything to say?"

The yamen runners understood this moment, and the one who beat the board immediately responded: "Who said I didn't count? Who, huh? I obviously counted, no more, no less, just fifteen."

There were not only Li San who had been beaten too much in the hall, but the bully man was beaten too much, but the bully who was tortured in turn had completely fainted and no one paid attention to his opinion.

When Li Sanke met someone who was even more rogue than him, he had nothing to say and could only admit his bad luck. After dealing with this case, Zhao Xing was a little curious about what kind of posture the girl who was touched by this bully looked like... By the way, he hasn't seen the plaintiff yet.

The plaintiff was called to come to the court. She pulled half of her handkerchief in her hand, covering the lower part of her face, and walked up to the court with a hesitant grinding. Gao Qiu's face was sunk. Zhao Xing stretched out his index finger, hooked his finger, and signaled the other party to put down the handkerchief... As soon as the handkerchief was put down, Zhao Xing's first idea was to find a washbasin to vomit.

Oh my God, this bully has a unique taste, and he actually touched a little lady similar to Sister Furong?!

No wonder, I said why did I encounter such a rare street teasing case? This person who is like this may not be teased. Occasionally, if you bump into a teasing man like a great fortune, it must be known to the whole world. This bully man is also in trouble. Good or not, in a not very remote alley, his hand fell on the butt of this girl, and he deserves it!

In fact, Zhao Xing was just wondering, teasing should be in an empty street, but why should the bully teasing in an alley where more than a dozen people exist, and he ended up being beaten into a slug? Now, he understood everything.

If you beat me, what's the point! This bully's taste should be beaten up. Well, it seems that when the case was just being tried, the other party's lips were squirming desperately, perhaps because he wanted to explain... but now there is no need.

When the yamen runners saw Sister Furong appear in the Song Dynasty, they were laughing secretly, but Zhao Xing looked annoyed, and Gao Qiu looked quiet, making them want to laugh but not dare to laugh. After the plaintiff and defendant left the scene, Zhao Xing was silent for a moment after the case, and suddenly couldn't hold it in his smile. The yamen runners could no longer hold it in, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Interesting! Interesting", Zhao Xing couldn't straighten his waist.

The cases filed on that day also had similar harassment cases, but the first prisoner was beaten very badly by Zhao Xing without asking the reason. As soon as this result came out, the other prisoners had begun to apply for withdrawal of the lawsuit. They used huge sums of money to bribe the plaintiff, turning the big and small matters into nothing. However, in the atmosphere of laughter in the Hangzhou Yamen, there were very few cases to deal with.

On October 16th, the sixth day after Tianning Festival, the first snow fell in Hangzhou. The falling snow finally made the hearts of the people of Hangzhou hang high back in their stomachs.

The days of falling snow - the days of falling snow in the Song Dynasty mean the days of giving money.

It is snowing heavily in the world, and the people of the city must enjoy the allowances issued by the government. The court officials have argued about the issuance of such allowances. Those memorials that agree with are translated in modern language are: taxpayers usually pay taxes to the government. When it snows, it is cold and the people are unwilling to go out. If they stay at home, they will lose their income and input. For this reason, the government that enjoys the support of the people must repay the people at this time, that is, support the people who are hungry and cold.

This kind of thought is called "republic" in modern times, or "the Westernization thought of all evil", but it was called "sages, wise and benevolent" in the Song Dynasty.

On the days when heavy snow fall, the people of Bianliang City can get ten cents per liter of rice, or simply pay twenty cents. The prices in Hangzhou City are lower, and on the days when it snowed last year, Su Shi was in charge of government affairs this year. He felt that the people of Hangzhou had only experienced a hardship and paid an extra penny to allow the people to buy charcoal.

Su Dongpo said this. After he ordered Zhao Xing, he took Qin Guan out of the yamen with his foot. He needed to welcome the money who was exiled from the capital, and the specific task of distributing coins was handed over to Zhao Xing and Gao Qiu.

There were more than 50,000 households in Hangzhou, or about 350,000. This year, the river was renovated and 200,000 were transferred, with a total of about 600,000. With such a huge population, it was impossible for a person to pay the money in one day. However, before winter, Zhao Xing had already reorganized these people according to his own ideas and established a multi-level management system, so he did not need to send money to each person, just send money to seven people.

Originally, Hangzhou was divided into twenty-three villages. Zhao Xing merged several adjacent townships into large areas by the end of the year, and each district had several townships under its jurisdiction, so he only needed to pay the Baojia long money in the district.

Each household has eight ci, and one thousand households only have eight citrus coins, ten thousand households have eighty citrus coins, and one hundred citrus coins, and one hundred citrus coins. Every day - this is the "poverty" Song Dynasty. During the whole winter, every day, it is necessary to pay money to the people. The snow does not stop and the money is distributed. Although the money is small, it is also the heart of the government to care about the people.

The baojia chiefs in various regions filled baskets with copper coins, and escorted by the yamen runners to their area, and they distributed the money. After these people left, Zhao Xing put on a straw raincoat and rode a horse with Gao Qiu to patrol the four towns.

This work was something that local officials of the Song Dynasty had to do, because many houses were adobe houses, and only wealthy families could live in wooden houses. The snow was too heavy, and it was easy to crush the huts. Therefore, officials had to use the time to distribute coins to inspect the four townships. When they saw dangerous houses crushed by snow, they had to invite people in the house to a special shelter.

I forgot to tell you that the first refuge of the people in ancient China was also built by Su Shi. He used his financial surplus to run several welfare nursing homes early to support orphans and helpless elderly people and orphans. When the snow was falling, those who lived in dangerous houses could go to the shelter handled by the government to drink hot porridge. If you were sick, you could go to the first free medical institution in ancient China handled by Su Shi to get treatment.

The first snow was very cold, and it was so cold that it penetrated into the cracks of people's bones. Such first snow could not be stored on the ground. When it fell on the ground, it turned into cold rain, making the ground look muddy. Gao Qiu was wearing a fur coat and sat on the horse trembling. He watched the horse trekking in the mud and said worriedly: "Brother Li Ren, this horse... I heard that whenever the climate changes, a group of horses will die of illness. Is it okay for you?"

Zhao Xing looked at the scene around him and replied absent-mindedly: "That's because they don't understand horses - let me tell you, there are hundreds of species of horses, and there are countless. There are southern horses, northern horses, tropical horses, jungle horses, and desert horses... This horse is a very delicate animal. If you want the horses to adapt to the climate by themselves, that's a fool.

War horses that have been bred for hundreds of years in different environments have adapted to different environments. Tropical horses lead to the north and will naturally not adapt to them when they encounter climate change. For example, Arabian horses have a short nose and when they encounter cold climates, cold air will be poured into their lungs before they are heated, so they will die of illness when they are snowy.

As for the horses we can ride, don't worry, the horses we ride are northern horses, which are cultivated on the islands of Japan, which are more than northern. They adapt to the cold and humid climate. This weather makes it like a fish in water."

Zhao Xing answered while looking around. At this time, the house chief near the county yamen, the house chief had already started to take the yamen runners to distribute charcoal money from door to door. Some vendors were already surrounded by the streets where the money was paid, waiting for the people to receive the money, and use the money to buy charcoal money and food. Every time Zhao Xing passed by a street, he would always bow his head and talk to the yamen runners, and ask the people what difficulties they had.

This is a show.

Zhao Xing had originally sealed himself in the castle. The people of Hangzhou knew his power and were afraid, but kept a distance from him. This time, Zhao Xing took this opportunity to bring his relationship with the people of Hangzhou closer, so he planned to travel all the villages.

After walking until midnight, Gao Qiu was so cold that he could not help. His lips were so wet all over. He was finally carried back to the castle, but Zhao Xing seemed excited.

The women in the castle were waiting for the return of the two. They boiled hot water. When they got home, they urged them to take off their wet coats, pour the hot water into a large wooden barrel, scalded the hot wine, soaked hot tea, and waited until the two recovered their strength.

The Japanese girl was serving the two of them. When it comes to serving people, Japanese girl was the first, and no one dared to call them the second. They always brought wine cups and tea cups to people's teeth, making people lie there, and they could drink tea wine without any trouble. In addition, there were dishes. The two people soaked in large wooden barrels did not have to raise their hands at all. Their eyes swept to the dish. As long as they stayed for more than three seconds, the Japanese girl would immediately pick up a chopstick dish and deliver it to their lips. The only action they needed to do was chew.

Gao Qiu was rubbed by the Japanese girl and was about to moan. He exclaimed continuously: "This is enjoyment. Today's snow is worth it. I used to hear that Japanese girls are gentle, but they are so cute in the golden house. I never let me enjoy it. Today I know the beauty of Japanese girls."

Zhao Xing lay in a large wooden barrel, closed his eyes and said, "Do you know how the Japanese country evaluated their Japanese women - the Tang Dynasty system, the rituals and music of the Han monarchs and ministers. The Japanese women served bathing. The Japanese people thought this was a kind of etiquette - it was a Han ritual. So you should not praise the Japanese women, you should praise the Han system, the Han rituals and music."

Gao Qiu was fascinated by leisurely: "A man was born in the Han Dynasty and enjoyed his happiness."

Zhao Xing still closed his eyes and said hummingly: "The happiest era for men is this era..."

After pausing for a while, he added: "In fact, women's happiest times are also the era. 'The moon rises to the willows, and people make an appointment after dusk' - what a happy life!"

Zhao Xing also wanted to say: "It is also a happy life in this era when you are born as a grass man. On snowy days, the government will support you. If you just lie on the bed and breathe, the copper plate will naturally fall into your arms, and the government will not have the idea of ​​levying breathing tax."

This era is called the Song Dynasty.

In the distance, the misty music still did not calm down. Zhao Xing's muscles became soft and he began to be interested in the next one. He asked lazily: "Who is playing music? Why don't you sleep yet?"
