The illiterate life in the Northern Song Dynasty

In the early morning, the sun rises above the horizon, and as the temperature rises, the fog in the air gradually dissipates.Bianliang, which had been quiet all night, gradually became bustling, with cries, yells, and noises vying for each other, forming a bustling morning scene of Bianliang.

On Xiaoxing Street, Bianliang, an ordinary house opened the door from the inside, and then a boy in a plain white robe came out of the house holding the hand of a seven-year-old girl. On the opposite side, there was also a beautiful young woman who came out of the house. Li also took a three or four-year-old boy by the hand. Seeing the boy, the young woman immediately put a smile on her face.

"Brother Shi, Shi Huan, have you had breakfast? Come eat at Third Sister's house." Third Sister Li said enthusiastically, "Are you going to send Shi Huan to study with your husband?"

"Well, Shi Huan is already seven years old, it's time to learn other things." Wei Shiyi smiled and replied, "Sister, we've already eaten, so we won't go."

That being the case, Li Sanjie didn't continue talking.The two came out of the house, closed the door, and walked out of the street together.

"Third Sister, are you going to take Xiaohu to Kaimeng today? I heard from Third Uncle that Xiaohu has reached his age and should go to school." Wei Shiyi glanced at the child next to Li Sanjie and asked with a smile.

That child is Sanjie Li's child. Three years later, he has also grown from a baby to a little radish, and in a blink of an eye it is time to be enlightened.Three years ago, Wei Shiyi took Wei Shihuan to seek enlightenment with his husband, but now, Sanjie Li brought her son to enlightenment.

Sanjie Li pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Well, Xiaohu is old, Dad doesn't want Xiaohu to choose to be a businessman when he grows up, so he wants to see if he can take the imperial examination. Forget it, can Xiaohu take the imperial examination?" We don’t know if we learn well or not, but if Xiaohu learns more, he will have a better life in the future.”

This is indeed the reason, Wei Shiyi understood what Li Sanjie meant, and the two said some more words, and then separated.

Then Wei Shiyi took Wei Shihuan to her husband, who was still the same female husband before, and Wei Shihuan went to school at her home.

When we arrived at Mr.'s house, Wei Shiyi gently knocked on the door, and then a beautiful woman with determination came out. The woman nodded to Wei Shiyi and said, "Brother Wei, I will bring Shihuan in."

"Okay." Wei Shiyi smiled, knelt down and rubbed the top of Wei Shihuan's head, and said in a warm voice: "Shihuan, brother will pick you up in the afternoon. At Mr.'s place, you must study hard and be obedient."

Wei Shihuan nodded obediently, looking at Wei Shiyi who was smiling gently, her eyes were a little anxious, her mouth was pursed together, very tangled, and after a while she said: "Brother, Shihuan will be obedient."

After Wei Shihuan finished speaking, he looked back at Wei Shiyi three times a step at a time.Wei Shiyi was so happy, he stepped forward and hugged Wei Shihuan, and a smile appeared on Wei Shihuan's face.

Wei Shihuan is already six years old. In ancient times, a six-year-old girl was not too young. She should know some knowledge, such as knowing the difference between men and women. Naturally, she also knew that she shouldn't hug her brother so intimately when she grows up.

Then, she hesitated and struggled.

Wei Shiyi doesn't have so many worries, there is indeed a difference between men and women, but Shihuan is still young, so he doesn't have to pay that much attention.

"Brother, are you going to Brother Zhou's place today?" Wei Shihuan asked Wei Shiyi with sparkling eyes.

Her eyes were shining brightly, she knew that Wei Shihuan didn't know about his relationship with Zhou Yun, nor did she know the meaning of their relationship, but Wei Shiyi coughed twice in embarrassment, and said, "Brother, go talk to Zhou Yun." Brother Zhou, talk about something."

Wei Shihuan snorted, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "I knew it."

"Know what?" Wei Shiyi felt wrong.

"It's nothing." Wei Shi laughed happily, and before Wei Shiyi could continue to ask, he turned around and entered the husband's house.

Wei Shiyi was confused and didn't have a chance to figure it out, so he could only leave first and ask later.

It was only later that Wei Shiyi found out what Wei Shihuan meant. It turned out that Wei Shihuan was chatting with a little girl from the same school and talked about his relationship with Zhou Yun. The girl felt that Zhou Yun and Wei Shiyi had nothing to do with each other. That's great, but Wei Shihuan refuted it back, so last night, the two girls made a bet that Wei Shiyi would go to Zhou Yun's place.

In the end, the little girl Wei Shihuan won.

After sending off Wei Shihuan, Wei Shiyi walked towards the Zhou Mansion. The Zhou Mansion was still the original Zhou Mansion. The difference was that the servants of the Zhou Mansion had changed their name to Zhou Yun, and it was no longer Zhou Yuhou. , but Deputy Commander Zhou.Three years have passed, and Zhou Yun has been promoted from Marquis of Duyu in front of the palace to deputy commander in front of the palace, and has been promoted by one rank.

When he was the Marquis of Du Yu in front of the palace, he could still be called Zhou Yuhou, but now that he is the Commander, that title can no longer be used.

Yes, in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

Three years ago, Wei Shiyi and Zhou Yun came back from Wenxian County. They handed over the evidence to the current emperor. Wei Shiyi didn't know the specific situation in the court. The only thing he knew was that after that, some officials in the court He was demoted, and many officials outside the court were also demoted. The Song Dynasty had new blood. Not only that, but some useless official positions did not continue to be filled with new officials. If there is no accident, there may be no more official positions in the future. .

At the same time, Wu Fei also wrote a letter to Wei Shiyi and Zhou Yun, saying that Ma Cheng had been arrested, and a clean official came. The official strictly enforced the court's laws, and the lives of the people of Wen County were much better. .

"Brother Wei, you are here, please come in with me." As soon as Wei Shiyi arrived at Zhou Mansion, a servant came out to welcome him.

Wei Shiyi followed the young man into the Zhou Mansion, and the young man led the way and said, "The commander will not be back until this afternoon. He has already told us that if Brother Wei comes, he will let you take a rest here and watch something." Book, wait for him to come back."

Wei Shiyi smiled, and followed the boy into Zhou Yun's study.Of course, Wei Shiyi is also sensible, and he didn't go to the secret place inside, but outside. Although he and Zhou Yun are lovers, they should be careful at certain times.

Bring people in, and the servant will arrange some meals, and Wei Shiyi must be served properly.After three years, the relationship between Wei Shiyi and Zhou Yun has gradually improved, and the servants of Zhou's mansion also understand Wei Shiyi's position in Zhou Yun's heart.

Therefore, although the servant of the Zhou Mansion is still called Brother Wei Shiyi, his attitude towards him is the same as that of his future master.

Wei Shiyi couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, then sat on the chair, took out a book from the cabinet next to him, and read it.Three years later, Wei Shiyi has been able to read books very smoothly, and the books on this cabinet are also the ones he often reads.

Looking at the book in his hand, feeling the quiet surroundings, and thinking about the peaceful scene he saw when he went out today, Wei Shiyi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Three years ago, the Great Song Dynasty began to reform the law, and the Junshu method and the Young Crop Method were introduced one after another. There have been no problems with the Junshu method, but some people have begun to think of ways to use the Green Crop Method.

In order to solve the problem, Wei Shiyi took the risk to ask Zhou Yun and Mr. Wang, and finally attracted their attention. Then the current emperor Song Shenzong asked Zhou Yun to go out of Beijing to investigate, and Wei Shiyi went out with Zhou Yun. Finally, they collected The evidence is a perfect solution to that problem.

But that's just one of the problems, and there are many other counties that have that situation.

But there are also good signs, that is, after that time, the imperial court cleaned up the corrupt officials, and there were more honest officials in the Song Dynasty, and those officials with deep thoughts could only restrain their thoughts and be honest.

Not only that, after that incident, Song Shenzong and Mr. Wang were less impatient and more calm when promulgating laws and regulations. They began to promulgate laws and regulations slowly, and focused on observing whether there were any problems.

In the past three years, Song Shenzong made full use of the Huangcheng Division's ability to inquire about news. If he heard that there was something wrong, he sent people from the Huangcheng Division to investigate and collect evidence.There are not many people in the Imperial City Division, but each of them is an elite soldier and can only obey Song Shenzong's arrangement.

Thus, under the constant surveillance of the Imperial City Division, the court officials finally understood Song Shenzong's determination.As for Song Shenzong, seeing that the promulgated laws not only did not cause harm to the people, but instead made life better for many people, he also became more determined to reform.

In the past three years, Song Shenzong promulgated other reforms one after another, such as the Farmland Water Conservancy Law and the Fangtian Average Tax Law.What reassured Wei Shiyi was that they didn't want to promulgate new laws quickly, but waited for one law to be implemented before promulgating the next one. The Qingmiao Law made Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi more vigilant and saw the problems in it.

It is exactly like this, under the steady efforts of Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi and Huangcheng Division, the Farmland Water Conservancy Law and the Fangtian Average Tax Law promulgated next did not bring any negative impact. clean.

And with the Imperial City Secretary, Zhou Yun no longer had to go out to Beijing to investigate, even if he did, the number of times was not many.And every time Zhou Yun would let Wei Shiyi go out with him, Wei Shiyi didn't refuse, and he had the right to travel on a date.

In the previous life, because Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong were too eager for quick success, they wanted to complete the entire Great Song Reform in just a few years, which caused the Great Song to accumulate many problems, and those problems could not be solved, but this time it was different. Slow down, the reform has really played a positive role.

Perhaps there were still people filling their pockets in places they couldn't search, but Song Shenzong had reduced the number of problems to a minimum, and the remaining points would not have much impact on Song Dynasty.

In a country as big as the Song Dynasty, there are always people who are corrupt and pervert the law, and there are always some shadows behind it. Wei Shiyi knows it, Song Shenzong knows it, Wang Anshi knows it, everyone knows it, they can't be eliminated, we can only eliminate them as much as possible, except what they see , except on the bright side.

And if they don't see it, they can't do anything about it.

Everything is developing for the better, but Wei Shiyi doesn't really feel that the future will be smooth, so he will continue to pay attention.

However, one thing that puzzled Wei Shiyi was that Zhou Yun said that the laws to be promulgated in the past three years were not the Farmland Water Conservancy Law and the Fangtian Average Tax Law, but the Farmland Water Conservancy Law and the Labor Law. Wang Anshi's original plan was just because of the problem of the green crop law, so he advanced the Fangtian average tax law. Both the green crop law and the farmland water conservancy law are to solve the problems of farmers, and the Fangtian average tax law is also the same, so they got together Yes, if there is a problem, we can solve it together.

Wei Shiyi later thought that the original plan should be the order of Wang Anshi's reforms in his world, but perhaps it was because of the reforms in the Qingmiao Law, which led to changes in the subsequent reforms.

Wei Shiyi felt puzzled, but at the same time felt happy, because just like this, he felt more clearly and straightforwardly that Wang Anshi's reform was different from his world.

Wei Shiyi fell into his own thoughts, and he didn't even feel Zhou Yun's return.It wasn't until Zhou Yun hugged him that there was a soft touch on his lips before he came back to his senses.

"You're back?" Wei Shiyi said with a smile.

Zhou Yun nodded, his handsome face was a bit tired, Wei Shiyi saw it, and quickly asked, "What's the matter? Has there been any problem in the court recently?"

"The official family..." Zhou Yun frowned slightly, and then continued after a while: "The official family wants to fight and regain lost ground."
