"Dajin sent a delegation to Lin'an to celebrate the 'Tianshen Festival'."
Seeing this title, Yang Yuan became energetic and immediately started reading it carefully.
On April 26, the young prince Wanyan of the Jin Kingdom went to the Song Dynasty as an envoy to congratulate the Song Dynasty on the "Tianshen Festival".
Since the envoys sent by the Kingdom of Jin this year were of particularly high standards, in previous years they would always send an official from the Ministry of Rites.
But this year the team was led by a prince, so the tabloids made a big deal about the news and put it on the front page in great detail.
The tabloids not only contained detailed information about the main members of the Jin Dynasty mission, but also contained information about the family background of Jin envoy Wan Junyan and his family's current status in the Jin Dynasty.
Some rumors about Wanyan Quxing's family and the warm hospitality he received in the Song Dynasty were mentioned in the newspapers.
Moreover, it is vivid and vivid. After all, it is not a newspaper for the imperial court, and the content is much lighter.
Yang Yuan read the news carefully several times, but there was no mention of Wu Gu Lun Ying Ge.
It seems that she only came to the Song Dynasty as Wanyan Quxing's fiancée and was not considered a formal member of the Jin Kingdom's official mission, so she was not mentioned in the newspaper.
Yang Yuan picked up a piece of Dingsheng cake and chewed it slowly, digesting the information he got from the tabloid, and gradually made a judgment in his heart.
The Wanyan Yong clan and the Wugu Lun clan were the targets of Jin Emperor Wanyan Liang's suppression, so the two families decided to marry.
Once the two forces combine, Wan Yanliang will have to be cautious if he wants to take action.
In this case, it is difficult for external forces to destroy the marriage between the two parties, because this is no longer a personal matter between a man and a woman.
To put it bluntly, even if Wugu Lun Yingge had really cuckolded Wanyan Quxing yesterday, I'm afraid Wanyan Quxing's family would not have stopped the marriage between the two families.
Personal interests can be sacrificed for the sake of family interests.
In such a big family, this is the case for women throughout their lives, so why not for men?
Therefore, it is necessary to find a political reason for both parties to actively cut off the possibility of marriage between the two parties.
This reason is actually not difficult to find, as long as the purpose of the marriage between the Wanyan Quxing family and the Wugulun family is moved from the stage to the stage.
Even though Jin Emperor Wan Yanliang was overbearing, he could not prevent the two parties from getting married for no reason.
But what if the purpose of the marriage between the two parties is to compete with the Jin Emperor Wan Yanliang, and this purpose is so public that no one knows it?
A smile escaped from the corner of Yang Yuan's lips. He grasped the key and solved each problem. For him, it was more satisfying than conquering a beautiful woman.
He has repeatedly considered the feasibility of this plan several times, but some details cannot be discussed at this time, because the information he currently has is still very limited, and he needs to learn more through Ugu Lun Ying Ge.
So, Yang Yuan put the matter aside for the time being, relaxed and started browsing at will.
On March 12, because the people in Huaihe and Huaihe were affected by floods last year and had resumed farming soon this year, their rents and taxes were waived. In addition, Pingjiang Prefecture was exempted from breaking silk money for three years.
On the 321st, the government distributed medical books to the various state welfare bureaus.
On March 23rd, hail fell, and the households in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jinghu and other roads were exempted from the tax arrears for many years.
On April 17, money was allocated to Dali Temple, the three yamen, and the prefecture and county to use medicine to treat sick prisoners.
Tsk! It's quite humane to the prisoners.
Yang Zhi clicked his tongue and continued reading.
On April 23, some military thieves in Qianzhou plotted rebellion. Nine rebels, including Wang Tian Guang, were publicly executed.
Seeing this, Yang Yuan laughed.
After coming to the Song Dynasty for more than a year, Yang Yuan already understood what was going on with the frequent "rebellions" in the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty’s definition of rebellion was very broad:
Three or five soldiers defected from the military camp, which is a rebellion; eight or nine bandits cut off the road, which is a rebellion; a dozen craftsmen surrounded the county government office to ask for wages, which is also a rebellion...
It is probably because the Song Dynasty was too tolerant of officials with scholar-official backgrounds. Once local rebellions occurred, local officials were rarely held strictly accountable.
On the contrary, the follow-up policies to appease the people are the most active. Therefore, when local officials report that someone has rebelled, not only will they not be punished too much or even not punished at all, but they can take the opportunity to demand large sums of money for recruitment.
Even if no money or food is allocated, there is still reason to apply for tax reduction or exemption next year.
In this way, local officials can not only raise their hopes and gain a good official reputation, but also "benefit the countryside" and enrich the local treasury.
When he leaves office, it will be a matter of course to get a Wanmin Umbrella or something.
In this way, hello, me, everyone, naturally they are keen to report the rebellion.
Anyway, what was harmed was the interests of the court, and what was achieved was his personal future.
The result was that the rebellions in the Song Dynasty really came one after another.
Of course there are real rebellions, but there are even more exaggerated ones.
There are so many real and fake rebellions that Yang Yuan has only been in the Song Dynasty for a year, and he has heard about them many times.
If according to their strict standards, during the Ming Dynasty, there were 102 large and small riots in southern Jiangxi alone. If they were all considered to be rebellions, how many would have happened across the country?
At this time, Dr. Tea came to serve him tea.
A waiter pushed a tea cart and brought it to his seat.
There was a clay stove on the tea cart, with a charcoal fire burning brightly, and an iron kettle sitting on it.
There is a chopping board next to the clay stove with various tea-making tools on it.
A pretty and quiet female Dr. Tea was standing next to her. When the waiter stepped back, Dr. Tea began to get busy.
In the Song Dynasty, all industries were developed, and there were many industries that women could work in.
Cook, boat girl, tea doctor, needle girl, embroiderer, waitress, kabuki, etc...
In particular, many wealthy families raise kabuki, and their incomes are particularly high.
For example, Xin Qiji's family had eleven singers and thirty-six dancers.
These kabuki are not concubines, they are indeed selling their skills rather than their bodies.
Of course, people who work in the entertainment industry have experienced too many temptations, and few have always maintained their integrity.
But that is a lover's relationship only established with a satisfactory customer when the two are in love.
Therefore, the social status of women in the Song Dynasty was quite high. Some families that favored sons over daughters mostly considered it from the perspective of inheritance of incense, but rarely because of the burden of having a daughter.
In the Song Dynasty, especially in the Lin'an area, female infanticide was rare. Many families even hated having boys after giving birth to girls.
The female tea doctor took the tea cake and ground it finely with a stone. She was about to order some tea.
Before the Song Dynasty, the mainstream way of drinking tea was to cook tea. In the Song Dynasty, it became ordering tea.
The method of making tea used by brothers Yang Che and Yang Yuan when they were practicing martial arts in the courtyard of the Song family snack shop is the same method of drinking tea as that of later generations.
However, the tea drinking method has not yet formed a trend, and most of the roasted loose tea used in the current tea making method is low-quality tea.
This tea method is the same as the tea making method in the Tang Dynasty, and many strange condiments will be put into it.
Yang Yuan was afraid that the female tea doctor would also add some green onions, ginger, garlic and so on to make it difficult to swallow, so he specifically asked her to drink "Qing Ming".
The female tea doctor agreed softly, and Yang Yuan continued to read the newspaper.
Sitting among the bamboo curtains and flowers, eating snacks and reading tabloids, there is a quiet, beautiful and slim girl next to you. She uses very elegant movements to operate a series of tea ordering processes for you. It costs a lot of money, but it is also It's really grand and comfortable enough.
At this time, a young master slowly walked into the teahouse with a little book boy.
A waiter came forward and greeted him warmly, but the young master ignored him and only slowly glanced at Yang Yuan's position with his apricot eyes.
Then, his red lip line opened slightly, revealing a row of neat teeth. The ivory folding fan he held in his fingers turned around and pointed towards the corner where Yang Yuan was.
"I have an appointment."
