[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

Mu Bai is playing tricks with confidence.

You don’t need to be so particular about being a man. Mu Wen is a child, and his resistance is weak, so be careful. He is an adult, so he naturally has privileges.

Well, besides, he has washed his hands after painting. As long as he has washed his hands, is there any difference between washing before departure and after arriving?

Moreover, Mu Bai started painting immediately after exercising in the morning. Although painting is sitting, it actually consumes energy. He has the rationality of an adult to restrain himself, but the physiological reaction of a child cannot help restrained.

The little boy's Wu Zang Temple has been screaming since he smelled the aroma of rice, and it was precisely because he heard the protest from his stomach that the village chief stuffed him with a pancake to signal him to eat first.

The rice cakes the size of an adult's fist are made from ground rice into rice flour and then fermented with old noodles. It tastes full of rice fragrance.Because it is a fermented product, the starch in the grain will be converted into glucose. Therefore, this kind of rice cake will taste sweet and is especially popular with children.

The little boy had just eaten two bites when Mu Wen rushed out with his wet little hands up. While running, he shouted in local dialect: "Grandpa Chi Er, Ah Wen is very hungry. I want to eat two pancakes today."

The village head smiled and caught the child who rushed over like a small cannonball, put him on the chair, and while coaxing the child, he stuffed a small piece of pancake into each of his two little hands, making this child with a bigger appetite The child eats slowly.

At this time, the son of the village head returned from abroad, and the whole family arrived. The breakfast, which was too late for a long time, was finally ready for dinner.

The village chief's son is called Huan Erxia, and he looks very upright. It is said that he inherited his appearance from his Han mother.

The wife of the village head, Ma Shi, is the daughter of a merchant whom the village head met on a study tour in the Central Plains when the village head was a young boy.

The love story between the two is also a legend. When the village head first met Mrs. Ma, he caught a glimpse of him and fell in love with him at the first glance. In order to ask for a girl, he recommended himself to be a caravan to escort the merchants.

The Ma family's trading company mainly focuses on transporting cloth from south to north, and attaches great importance to escort.At that time, the village chief was very skilled and quick-witted. The goods he was responsible for escorting rarely made mistakes, and he would look for business opportunities in various places to attract business for Buzhuang.At the same time, by running around, the village chief also bought a lot of small specialties from various places and kept sending them to Miss Ma.With a two-pronged attack, it didn't take long for him to be regarded as a humerus and a prospective son-in-law by the shopkeeper.

The reason why it is a quasi-word is mainly because shopkeeper Ma does not want his daughter to marry far away, and is persuading the village chief to stay outside and not go back to the mountains.

Seeing that the situation is going well, a pair of lovers are only one step away from getting married, but the province where the merchant is located encountered a rebel army.

The rebel army was nothing but the banner of resisting tyranny, and did not harass the people much, but the Yuan court at that time sent troops to suppress it, and there was a fight between the rebel army and the rebel army.

As the saying goes: "Bandits are like a comb, and soldiers are like a grate." Silk shops like Ma's are like living targets. After a turmoil, they suffered heavy losses. The two sons of the old shopkeeper were all lost in the turmoil. , not only him, but also a brother of his same clan who was doing business with him also failed to escape.

After this blow, the old man was quite disheartened, so he packed up his remaining belongings and followed the village chief to the south of Caiyun.

Yunnan is located in a remote place with many mountains. Because of the high mountains and deep valleys, there have been few large-scale wars in this place since ancient times, but it is also stable.Xiumang Village, where the village head is located, is located deep in the mountains, far away from wars and disputes.Since then, the Ma family has settled down in Xiumang Village.

After the village head’s wife’s family arrived, they helped Xiumang Village purchase the best-quality silkworms and mulberry trees in the Central Plains. Therefore, in this area where kapok is the main planting, Xiumang Village started to make a fortune by relying on silkworm breeding. road.

However, the good times didn't last long. Mrs. Ma passed away due to postpartum illness after giving birth to her eldest son, and the old father-in-law also escaped into Buddhism under repeated blows, planning to spend the rest of his life with the company of a green lantern.

The village head lost his wife in middle age and never remarried. While raising his only son, he tried his best to develop the local silk textile industry. Mr. Han people were also hired to set up village schools to encourage villagers to learn about Han people.

Um?Studying Sinology under Dayuan's management is really not afraid of being put on small shoes?

In fact, this kind of behavior was really very common under the rule of the Yuan government, so common that the officials didn't even bother to take care of it.

As an unprecedented dynasty where a minority ruled the majority, the Yuan Dynasty seldom held imperial examinations in order to maintain its own status and the "purity" of its rule.

Throughout the history of the Yuan Dynasty's nearly one hundred years of rule, it only held sixteen scientific examinations, and only a thousand Jinshi were recruited, and even fewer of them were officials.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, which admitted 300 people in one scientific examination, its selection of talents can be said to be extremely harsh.

As we all know, the Song Dynasty was the golden age of imperial examinations to become officials. The social status of scholars was extremely high, and the court pursued a policy of high salaries to maintain integrity, and the officials' salaries were extremely generous.

What changes will it bring about from a dynasty that puts literati first into an era that does not pay much attention to imperial examinations?Naturally, a large number of cultural people flowed into the city, and they devoted themselves to cultural and educational undertakings in order to support themselves.

These people either start school to teach, or pick up a pen to write books and talk about it, and many people put aside the arrogance of scholars and devote themselves to literary creation. The highly developed opera scripts in the Yuan Dynasty are rooted in the nourishment provided by these scholars. above.

So in Dayuan, although the imperial court was very wary of the Han people and took a vigilant attitude towards the Nahan people entering the officialdom, which was quite controversial, the folks were almost still dominated by Sinology.

Even in the capital of Yuan Dynasty, most of the schools mainly focus on teaching Sinology, and only add a course of learning Mongolian.This is true of any capital city, not to mention the frontier of Yunnan.

This is also a major ruling feature of Dayuan.If it is said that other dynasties had imperial power beyond the counties, the Yuan Dynasty almost had imperial power beyond the provinces.As far as the central government is concerned, as long as you pay taxes obediently and don't rebel, local officials still have a very high degree of freedom.

This move also caused the emperor of the Ming Dynasty next door to lose a lot of hair after he captured Yuandi, and he rarely raised his butcher knife at the management again and again.

There is no way out, Dayuan’s original management team is too corrupt and loose. Ninety-nine percent of the officials who are corrupt and exploit the people’s fat and aspirations have reached ninety-nine percent. Most of the available talents have joined the rebel army. Holding the pounding stick and clear water in the other hand, pinching his nose while looking for it and pulling it, to see if there are any that can be rinsed clean, and the talents found in this way will naturally become consumables.

Of course, it would be unlucky for an official to meet an emperor who is morally obsessed with cleanliness.

"Not long ago, another batch of relegated officials was sent to Guizhou." Er Xia swallowed a rice cake in twos and twos, and exchanged the news he inquired with his family at the dinner table, "Sichuan also sent a batch, This is already the third wave."

"Then there must be hundreds of people?" Sha Hong poured milk for everyone on the table, and after counting the number of people, she couldn't help but smack her tongue at the emperor's generosity.

Just when she bowed her head, her husband and father-in-law exchanged a look. The silent tacit understanding between father and son made them both know that the other understood what they meant.

Er Jia raised the milk cup and took a sip, his eyebrows were knotted a little, he put down the cup calmly, and then pushed the almost full amount of milk in front of Mu Bai who was eating breakfast quietly: "Da Lang, Drink more milk and grow stronger."

Mu Bai's movements froze, he slowly raised his face, and on his small face were written the words "Big Bitterness and Deeper Hatred".

The child has a keen sense of taste, and the mellow milk smells extremely fishy to him. Although it is not unbearable, he still doesn't want to embarrass himself if he can.

What?Children are picky eaters?Tsk tsk tsk, it must be a layman who said such a thing. Children's picky eaters are earth-shattering, and adults' picky eaters are silent. If you don't believe me, just look at the dining table. Are the dishes on the table all parents' favorites? Parents A dish you don't like that you probably didn't know was until you grew up and went to a restaurant.

Ahem, it's getting too far, anyway, it's impossible to help with milk, not even in this life.Drinking his own milk is to set an example for his younger brother, but having another cup is definitely not acceptable.

Facing his younger brother's scorching gaze, Mu Bai calmly pushed the cup back: "Brother Erxia, you have to settle your own affairs."

The man smiled and pushed him over again: "There is a saying in the Han people, if you have something to do, the younger brother will do his best, so I have to trouble Dalang."

"The original words are disciples, not younger brothers. Brother, your mistake is outrageous. I'm afraid you will be caught by Mr. Mu Bai." Mu Bai glanced at him, and they both looked at the youngest kid Douding Muwen present.

Mu Wen, Mu Wen reached out to cover the mouth of the cup very smartly, and expressed his rejection with practical actions.

He is also a child, and he doesn't like to drink milk either!

Of course, such acts of wasting food could not escape the sharp eyes of the person in charge of the family. Er Jia was still pinched on the waist when he was about to speak.

As a qualified husband, Er Jia stubbornly resisted such inhuman pain, and tried to divert his wife's attention by throwing out a topic with rich experience, "When I came back just now, I seemed to see a Han Chinese caravan Leave, but come to buy cloth from us?"

"That man came to look for Da Lang's portrait." The village head watched the farce with a smile all the way, and seeing the situation paused, he replied while eating pancakes.

He looked at Mu Bai and asked, "By the way, Dalang, do you think there is something wrong with the identities of the two Han people who came to the door today? Not long after I left today, I heard that they were inquiring about you. Thinking about it, I always feel that it is a bit too coincidental."

"They should be the advance army sent by Daming to survey the terrain." Mu Bai poured down the milk in one breath, and after hearing the village chief's question, he put the finished milk cup on the table, and said himself very casually. My guess: "Maybe they still have the task of finding out the distribution of local forces. During the chat, he had an excuse to purchase goods and asked me about the local officials and policies nearby. I pretended that my Chinese is not easy to get by."

"Sure enough, when I passed by them, I felt that their aura was extraordinary, not like ordinary merchants." After the guess was confirmed, Er Xia was not too nervous, and there was even a little bit of tension in his tone. The feeling of "finally came".

The young man suddenly looked up at his father and asked, "Father, do we... want to contact them?"

As soon as he said that he would openly surrender to the enemy, not only the village chief, but even Mu Bai looked over in surprise, and the scene fell into a dead silence.

The author has something to say:

According to the national quintessence of the dynasties, the Tang Dynasty was poetry, the Song Dynasty was Ci, and the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were the world of novels and operas.

Why rice.

One is that the price of paper became less expensive in the Song Dynasty, and ordinary people began to afford paper, and even paper can be used as daily necessities and outer packaging (yes, paper was invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty until it became a regular product in the Song Dynasty) , which leads to a drop in book prices.

Of course, there is also the role of printing. The engraving was changed to wood, and movable type printing appeared later, and movable type printing made "private customization" begin to appear, which is a bit similar to our modern fanbooks, and then gradually began to spread.

At the junction of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, a large number of scholars were exiled to the people, because the Yuan government discriminated against and suppressed the Han people (Southern people) who were not on paper. Feeling uneasy in their hearts, they started to write novels one after another.

Two of the four great classics appeared at this time, and the historical novels of this era are very popular. Why, they are actually criticizing Sang Huai.

I can't directly scold you Yuan government, but I'm in YY's head office in the novel, right?In reality, I can’t scold you for being a dog official. In my novel, I scold the head office. Therefore, if you look at the history and analyze the novel in combination with the author’s writing time, you will find very interesting points.

For example, "Water Margin" was written in the middle and end of Yuan Dynasty. In the story, bandits are rampant and officials are incompetent. Even bandits are more loyal and responsible than officials. When the heroes compete (the author overwhelms Zhang Shicheng, but Lao Zhu wins) so... ummah.

The author of "Journey to the West" was in the Jiajing period. The author once served as an official and was falsely accused of resigning. He once said that my book is about monsters. In reality, there is a bit of insinuation.

As for the emergence of opera, it is even simpler. The cultural level of the nobles in the Yuan Dynasty was relatively low, and they could not play the songs of Tang and Song Dynasties. (Tang Poetry and Song Ci are actually lyrics), Tang Poetry and Song Ci are actually a game for cultural people, but dramas and novels can be understood by ordinary people. To a certain extent, the development of the times has also changed the entertainment from a few people to On top of the majority.
