Days are everlasting

Although according to the rules of etiquette, the wedding should be held at dusk, after all, it is a "twilight ceremony"!

However, except for noble families, ordinary people seldom observe this wedding time, and they all set it during the day for no other reason than being poor.

The nobles are different, they have enough financial support to allow them to feast all night long.

However, even for princes and nobles, it is difficult to hold a wedding and make the entire palace city brightly lit.

The palace city in Kaiyi was left by Nanshen. Since the first Shen Bo was the uncle of King Xuan, King Xuan rewarded him with a large amount of property.

In addition, the first generation of Shen Bo was not a simple person. He was separated from the original Shen State and the current Xishen to establish the country. Xishen itself also has a lot of money.

Even if the first generation of Shen Bo was originally the minister of Shen Guo and only owned Xie Yi, he still had a lot of wealth.

Therefore, the palace city of Kaiyi was built extremely magnificently, reaching the pinnacle of earl regulation. After Ji Bofu took over as Xuanhou, there was almost no need for large-scale construction.

However, this also means that it is very important for him to fulfill the condition that Ji Gongzhen is unwilling to let him go back to Kaiyi to get married—to let the whole Kaiyi, or at least Miyagi, have an atmosphere of celebrating the monarch's marriage. difficult.

Although in this life he is a power n generation and rich n generation who don't have to worry about lack of money, Ji Bofu still has the idea that "marriage hurts money" which belongs to the working people.

Of course, there are advantages to being married.

The father who loves his son, Ji Gongyan, gave extra assistance. In addition to wealth and jade, he even specially gave him a hundred catties of bronze, and this weight may be a reward for a certain prince who fought bravely with foreigners.

The king of Zhou bestowed bronze, no matter how other princes understood it, but Ji Bofu felt that this was the meaning of his father asking him to cast a tripod.

Ji Bofu: Then I might as well exchange this with other princes for money!

Outside the palace city, torches are used for lighting, but in banquet places, candles are needed.

Because of the impression in the costume drama, Ji Bofu still uses bronze lamps in this era-that is, the configuration of the lamp filled with grease and a silk thread-without any surprises.

The use of candles was relatively late in China, and in this era, the word "lamp" did not appear often, and the name of the lighting thing was "candle".

In this era, there are few plants that can be used to extract oil. At the very least, soy sauce, the people's good seasoning friend, has not appeared, which means that soybeans have not been fully utilized, and you still want to use plants to extract vegetable oil?Really can save money!

All the bronze lamps use animal oil—the term is “fat”—think of the jar full of solid white lard in the refrigerator when I was a child, all of which are squeezed from pork, and you can know the Compared with vegetable oil, the cost of fat is much higher.

The place where the banquet will be held must be a big hall no matter what, and the amount of animal oil that needs to be consumed is unknown.

Ji Bofu, at this moment, once again ignited the ambition of "inventing new things".

Although he can't invent it himself, there are people under him. As long as he describes the specific characteristics and raw materials, there will always be capable people who can meet his requirements.

Moreover, in the name of General Xuanhou's wedding, he also specially ordered that next year the tax will be exempted, and every household within five hundred miles from the capital will be given plow tools.

It not only expanded the area of ​​plowing, but also bought people's hearts.

Well, who doesn't like free stuff, and the previous good harvests have proven the usefulness of the new farm tools.

Ji Bofu, who once acted as a money-scattering boy, was very calm. The old ones would not be taken away, and the new ones would not come in. Compared with the cost of the grease for his wedding banquet-this is only a part of a series of expenses-compared, Tax exemption and distribution of new farm tools are just a drop in the bucket.

And such an approach has easily bought the hearts of the people. Now, apart from the aristocratic scholar-bureaucrats saying that he is a virtuous king, even the common people have begun to sing his name.

Shen Bo has been king for two generations, and the time is still too short. Decades ago, this place was still the land of Zong Zhou, and it was not difficult for the people of this country to accept it under the rule of Prince Zong Zhou again.

However, Shen Bo's previous behavior of mobilizing a large army to counter the Zhou army not only used his popular support and popularity among the common people, but also consumed them.

Ji Bofu was full of kindness in just two years, and even wiped out the possibility that the people of the country would miss the former king.

When the position of Xuanhou was passed on to the second generation, the vassal state was stabilized.

Another very important reason why Ji Bofu chose Deng's daughter is that Deng Guo is also located in the southern border of Zong Zhou. Apart from the original state of Shen Guo who had a good relationship with Shen Guo for generations, only Deng Guoli's original Shen State and today's Xuan State country recently.

The previous steps were completed quickly, and the wedding was scheduled for the 17th year of King Zhou, which is the third year of Xuanhou.

The date was set by Ji Gong, and it was early spring. Even if the two countries were close, Deng's wedding team would set off two to three months earlier.

For the oil needed in the palace, Ji Bofu also came up with a solution.

To promote national consumption and drive national development, even if you are spending money, you must have the awareness that you are making money!

Anyway, taxes will still be collected in the future. The country's economic development is just making money for Ji Bofu!

What Ji Bofu is doing now is only superficial regulations. He deliberately opened a market in the central area of ​​Kaiyi. According to the historical process, it probably belongs to the market that only existed in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

However, Ji Bofu's action was opposed by some people.

And this needs to be viewed from the perspective of urban planning, because the reason they opposed it was that it might threaten Ji Bofu's safety.

In urban construction, dividing residential areas into palace districts, noble districts and civilian districts belongs to the creativity of later generations. Urban planning in this era is still in a relatively rough stage. The main house intersects, standing inside the palace, you can see the street outside.

Ji Bofu remembered when he was still in modern times, when he was in class, a certain teacher chatted about the content.

It is said that the last Zhou king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was King Zhou Nan, which means shame.Why this person's posthumous title is this has to be related to his "ambition" after he succeeded to the throne.

At the time of King Zhou Nan, the royal family of Zhou fell into a state of extreme decline. The Duke of Zhou, who was "a gentleman in the world", split into the Duke of Eastern Zhou and the Duke of Western Zhou, dividing the last land of Zong Zhou. As the co-lord of the world, the King of Zhou could only live in the Among Zhou Gong's fiefdoms.

King Zhou Nan moved into the territory of the Duke of Western Zhou, made a bunch of promises, borrowed money from many big merchants in the "Western Zhou", and then formed a small army to "crusade" Qin, and of course he was defeated in the end. Become a dog.

Those big businessmen don't care about Zhou Jun's final failure, nor do they want the benefits promised by King Zhou, as long as he returns the money for forming the army.

However, the royal family is poor, so poor that they can't even afford food, how can they still have money to pay off their debts!

The big businessman blocked the entrance of the palace to ask for debts, and King Zhou Nan could only hide in the deepest part of the palace city - because only there could not hear the voice of debt collection - he was shameless and hadn't been out of the palace for decades. This is also the origin of his posthumous posthumous title.

Why would the big businessman who collects debts force the king of Zhou to the deepest part of the palace city?

It's very simple, the other parts of Miyagi are connected to the outside world, and only the most important places are closely guarded by guards.

Until the late Warring States period, the setting of Miyagi was so imprecise, we can know that this period will not be much better.

Although setting up a market in the center of the city has promoted economic development, it is indeed convenient for people who live on both sides of the city to set up a market in the central area of ​​the city. But for Ji Bofu, the central area of ​​the city has A large part of Miyagi means that it is more difficult to protect Ji Bofu. If someone with malicious intentions sneaks into Miyagi and tries to assassinate Ji Bofu, what should he do?

Ji Bofu: How can you imagine people's hearts to be so dark?

This is not Ji Bofu's nonsense, but what he said in his heart. The simplicity of the people and even the nobles and officials of this era made him deeply reflect on whether he was too deeply poisoned by the palace fighting dramas of later generations.

To be reasonable, if Empress Jiang had asked her to "accidentally die" or "one corpse and two lives" when his beautiful wife first entered the palace or gave birth to a child, wouldn't there be so many things going on later?

And in later generations, in "Zuo Zhuan", "Historical Records" and other historical books, the assassins are always described as high-ranking scholars with character. Yes, or that powerful person has a notorious reputation.

A typical representative is Zhuan Zhu who assassinated King Liao of Wu—if it wasn't for the prince Guang at that time and later King Helu of Wu who deliberately enlisted him and offered him all kinds of favors, he would not have been willing to take action!

However, "Zuo Zhuan" records that Jin Linggong sent an assassin to kill Zhao Dun, then prime minister, and the assassin committed suicide because he was moved by Zhao Dun's diligence!

Although this story is not credible, since the author dared to write the image of this profoundly righteous assassin, it can be seen that there was still a basis for this image in the hearts of the people at that time.

Even if this story is Zhao Dun putting money on his face, but with his status, he wouldn't just make up a lie that can be exposed at a glance, right?It must be convincing!

As a person who is considered "widely famous" nowadays, Ji Bofu is very confident in his own safety and in his own people.

He is a generation of Mingjun who wants to lead the people of Xuanguo to a better life in the future, who would be so overwhelmed to assassinate him!

The author has something to say: I remember the record of the assassin committing suicide because of Zhao Dun’s diligence. I remember it was in Zuozhuan. We were studying this topic at the time. The plot is so detailed.We all took it for granted.

To be reasonable, who started this trend of treating the details of history books as half of original literature [bu]? Hey!Of course, until the Tang Dynasty, compiling history books was actually a personal act. The family of historians recorded the words and deeds of the emperor and the affairs of the dynasty.

The story of the Zhou Dynasty is to change the fate of Ji Bofu. In fact, it has already been completed here. Ji Bofu’s plan will not be completed in his generation. Write two more chapters to explain the various follow-ups, one chapter for later generations, and then It's about to open the Qin Dynasty scroll 2333
