[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

For Bao Zheng, it is not difficult to investigate this small case, and it can even be said that it is easy. He took his students Yan Chasan, Bai Yutang Zhanzhao, and Gongsun Ce along with him, but it took only one month. Find out the truth of the matter.

What is ironic is that, if one wants to say that the Wu Zhu and others investigated by Xia Song back then had some skills, and some knowledge of herbal medicine was also inherited, then the person who made trouble this time is completely a layman people.

But this layman clings to the frailties of human nature.

After the catastrophe, he rose up before the government's rescue force arrived. He led the believers who had been brainwashed by him to travel and preach among the people, and then used some knowledge of charlatans to fool the locals. It is said that the official rescue arrived because he opened the altar to spread the law.

It's worth mentioning that, in order to highlight its importance among the people, he actually obstructed the local disaster relief in every possible way, and even advocated the theory that "cremation of the corpse cannot be reincarnated".

In fact, during the period of Song Renzong, cremation of the people of the Song Dynasty had already begun to appear after death, which was influenced by Buddhism.

But it is also limited to Buddhist believers who can accept this. The government will not interfere with civil behavior, but the corpses infected with the epidemic must be cremated compulsorily. So this hateful sect seized on this point and said that their witch religion believers do not allow cremation.And preaches resurrection.

His original intention was to gain a higher sense of existence in the hearts of the people by fighting the government, but he didn't want to directly lead to the outbreak of the epidemic. After that, he drew a talisman to make a fortune for the water, and was directly sent to the dog's head .

At that time, in front of countless believers who wanted to stop the execution, Bao Zheng said bluntly: If it is genuine and has the ability to rule the world, why can't he save himself?If he is really as omnipotent as he said, he should be raw skin and bones.

For this reason, he also specially chose to behead this person in an open square.Of course this person didn't have this talent, he howled in pain for two full hours, and finally died.

But this case had a great impact on Da Song.

Zhao Zhen directly ordered that after his father, he began to toss about religion, but his method of tossing was completely opposite to his father's. He asked the temple department in charge of religion to send people to openly collect religious information from the people.

To put it simply, if you have any religion among the people, you must first declare it. You must explain the ins and outs of your religion to the eight generations of your ancestors, what you have done, what is the use of what you are responsible for, and your pope and teachings must be clearly stated. After approval , you are an orthodox sect, otherwise you are a cult.

Of course, even the orthodox denominations are not free to do whatever they want. There is a two-year preparatory period from application to approval. During these two years, you must explain what good deeds you have done and whether you have done anything beneficial to society.

what?

You are only responsible for eating fast, chanting Buddha and praying for the country?

Don't even give alms and build roads to collect refugees and take care of orphans, and still want to claim the name of saving all sentient beings?Let's go for approval.

In this way, only Buddhism and Taoism have passed the trial in a short period of time. After all, these two are old-fashioned religions, both in terms of mythological pedigree and word-of-mouth.

Even for sects that have passed the approval, since then large-scale missionary activities must be approved, and non-government activities that have not been reported by the government will be strictly punished if they are discovered.

Originally, the Song Dynasty carried out some rectification on "Taoism", and assessed and controlled the personal situation of Taoist priests. Now this requirement has been covered by the whole sect. The official two comprehensive examinations on Buddhism and Taoism are all basic knowledge. Those who fail to pass the basic knowledge will be confiscated.

This action caused the folks to explode, and the Taoists waited calmly. They are basically exempted from the exam, and the monks inevitably need to embrace the Buddha's feet. As for the other sects, the problems are serious. Questions, simply unify religious exams, basic law exam questions, even if you believe in religion, you can't ignore the laws of the country.

Things like this time affecting the government's disaster relief in the name of religion, as well as using religious sects to amass money and affect the health of the people are absolutely not allowed.

Xia Anran himself didn't know about this matter at all, he was busy with printing and stencil making, these things should not be in charge of by the Ministry of Industry, Song Dynasty has a special printing department, but because of Xia Anran's few words , this matter fell on their heads.

Watermark printing is relatively easy, and there is a certain error tolerance rate when the paper overlaps, but embossing is not so simple, and the effect is not satisfactory so far. In the end, Xia Anran wanted to make a special pattern and print it directly never mind.

But thinking about it, he still hugged his head and thought hard with the craftsmen.

The more difficult it is for them to make, the anti-counterfeiting effect is naturally the best, even if the cost is higher, it doesn't matter, such a good method, if you want to give up, you are not willing to give up.

The appearance of the watermark has been handed over to Zhao Zhen. Although the pattern has not been finally confirmed, according to Xia Anran's idea, he can simply hang the half-human head of Song Taizu on it. There are some taboos, so this proposal is pending. What they tried to make was a word [大宋交子].

It is written by Zhao Zhen himself.

The effect was not bad, and Zhao Zhen immediately approved it. As for what to use as the anti-counterfeiting pattern, it still needs to be debated. Nowadays, half of the Ministry of Industry is busy solving the problem that the embossed patterns cannot be completely overlapped.

According to Xia Anran's goal, the final effect is to stack layers like a stamp, but to achieve this effect requires extremely high requirements for craftsmen.

In addition, the embossed pattern is still on a piece of paper, and the error tolerance rate is very low.

In addition to this, Xia Anran's previously drawn horse-matching armor was also stuck in a bottleneck. Song Jun used to have vests, but now that he has improved the steelmaking technology, he can naturally make a set of plate-mounted vests. The problem is stuck Because the main object of protection is the forehead of the horse, and there are many types of military horses in the Song Dynasty today. Different types have different faces.

What kind of horse is used as a template has become the focus.

Finally, after a quarrel between the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, the horse model was brought over. It was a beautiful Tibetan horse.

And it wasn't until this time that Xia Anran realized that Da Song had actually bought horses from Tubo's way!

Prior to this, the main source of horses in the Song Dynasty was from the northwest. They were basically Mongolian horses with tall heads, or Dawan horses and Wusun horses with long legs. They were all killed during the scuffle, and those who remained died of old age in the years since Song Jianguo.

There were no excellent genes as female and male parents. In addition, in order to increase the number of horses in the early Song Dynasty, these horses were mated with local pygmy breeds. Therefore, during the Renzong period, the shoulder height of the horses in the central hinterland of the Song Dynasty dropped significantly.

These are what Renzong told him.

Reluctantly, now they can only introduce a small amount of horses from the Western Regions through smuggling, but after passing through places such as Daliao and Dangxiang, they will consciously prevent the stallions from entering the territory of Song Dynasty after the blockade.The quantity of each purchase can at most only guarantee the quality of the horses used by the generals. As for the ordinary cavalry, there is no way, this is a technical blockade.

Fortunately, Renzong was lucky, and his investment in Tubo gave him a rich report.

In the last year of last year, Tubo's Jisiluo led the way and imported [-] Tibetan horses to Song Dynasty. After a long period of adaptation, these horses quickly showed their excellent endurance and running speed. Last year Most of the alfalfa and nearby fodder that Xia Anran raised to feed the cows were confiscated by his brother, just to ensure that these handsome young stallions can maintain sufficient energy in the spring.

The gestation period of a horse is almost ten months. Now that the time has come, the local ponies have already shown a lot of pregnancy. In addition to the ponies, there are also a group of ponies who are also potbellied, so the pressure on food and grass in the Song Dynasty is very high. .

Fortunately, dry pastures can be imported after opening up the business in the Northwest. In addition, Da Song is now encouraging people to plant pastures in barren areas and useless mountain and forest areas, which can support the expenses of this batch of horses.

Frankly speaking, in a way, horses are much harder to handle than people.

As far as military rations are concerned, people can still eat meat, hunt and fish if they really can’t, but horses can’t.Modern people always think that strategic reserves are people-oriented, but in fact they are not. The combat readiness of the army is based on horses.

People can bear it when they are hungry, but horses have to give up when they are short of food.A meaner enemy, lured by some hay or something, the horse of unsteady mind has to gallop there.

And the order sent down from above: the horse face made armor based on Tibetan horses, which also shows the attitude of the above.

First of all, Tubo is our good friend, (the supply of goods is stable and reliable), and secondly, Da Song will not buy horses of other breeds to replace Tubo horses in a short period of time (the supply of goods has been cut off, I don’t know who did it, wait for a chance Damn it), in the end, Tibetan horses will be trained as military horses, and the relevant departments should be prepared.

The result of the change in the size of the horse is no small matter. Besides, the size of the saddle needs to be redesigned. An oversized saddle will bring a burden to a small horse, and the shift of the center of gravity will also affect the stability of the rider.

At that time, its load capacity will also decrease, which also means that the armor weight of heavy cavalry must be reduced, otherwise the horse will not move.

Not only that, but the palatability of feed and the living habits of these Tibetan horses have all undergone a series of changes.

The animal officer is responsible for these matters, but in the end, he still has to come to the Ministry of Industry to order equipment for sampling.

Especially when Xia Anran said cheaply: How about trying to crush the horse grain and then re-roll it into shape? 3

As we all know, for grains, their quality remains the same after being crushed, but their volume will be significantly reduced.Moreover, many horses have the old problem of picky eaters. If they encounter something they don't like, they will eat less. However, these problems are not so troublesome when they encounter processed feed.

For example, the dogs of Xia Anran’s family don’t particularly like to eat vegetables, but dogs, as omnivorous animals, should still eat some fruits and vegetables in moderation. Xia Anran boiled these vegetables, dried them, smashed them, and mixed them with meat The flour of the mud is added inside to make a small sandwich.

His family's Wang is well raised by him!In spring, I don't know how many little bitches came over and winked.

He had never used a hydraulic machine to make dog biscuits, after all, biscuits baked directly from flour were already hard enough, so there was no need to use a hydraulic machine to make dog biscuits.

The chewing ability of herbivores is much higher than that of dogs. He remembers that many of the grains bought for rabbits in modern times are grass cakes. People can't move them with scissors. Rabbits bite like playing. You can also say horses...

If it can be made into compressed small energy blocks, there is no doubt that it will be much more convenient to carry luggage in the future.

Therefore, misfortune comes from the mouth.

How kind the household official looked when he listened to the opinions!

Now it's so vile to come over to use his hydraulic press, and ask his opinion, sir, do you remember that we belong to different departments?

Even if you don't remember...do you still remember that I am the prince of Song Dynasty?

"My lord, you are so blessed, and I can't wait for you to be so talented," the servant of the household department bowed to Xia Anran and said, "Please give me your advice, my lord."

Xia Anran: ...? ? ?

Therefore, Xia Anran, who had finally seized the opportunity to take a leisurely nap, was confused when he suddenly dreamed of the God of Taiyi, and he was even more at a loss after listening to what the little Taoist leader said to him.

The more he listened to Xiaodaochang's explanation, his expression became more and more serious, because Taiyi God could not produce birth certificates, myths and legends, and the scope of blessings, and now he was about to be labeled as a cult.

he!Supreme God!Now it's a cult!

Although he couldn't see the god himself, Xia Anran could tell that the Taiyi God was very angry from the increasingly prosperous brazier behind him and the unscientific burning candles with blue flames.

Xia Anran was completely stunned. By the way, his brother seemed to have mentioned this a while ago. At that time, he also made a few small suggestions, but he never expected it to be tricked into his own head.

The little Taoist priest has a very good personality. Facing Xia Anran's shocked appearance, he pointed to the god's seat and suggested that Xia Anran talk to the god directly.

How to talk?Xia Anran turned her gaze, and saw the horns she brought last time at a glance.

... oh well.

His mind was running fast thinking of a solution, and it would definitely be impossible to directly say that the Supreme One God is supreme. After all, the world of belief has been shared equally by the two worlds of Buddhism and Taoism. high mountains.

He mentally repeated the question three times before throwing the horn.

[Master, do you have someone you can trust to solve this problem? 】

Throwing the bull's horn flat down, laughing at the cup, I can't tell.

Xia Anran frowned, and asked the second question.

【Do you mind if I make up a story for you? 】

This time the bull's horn rolled a few times on the ground, it was still a laughing cup.

Xia Anran thought for a while, but couldn't ask more than three questions. This last question...he seriously asked:

[What do you think of being a younger brother? 】

By the way, I tried to persuade Tai Yishen to be a younger brother in my heart. As the saying goes, it is better to be an older brother in the world. A younger brother with an older brother is a treasure.

Being a younger brother is fine as long as you are silly and happy, and occasionally you can cheat your brother. If you are bullied by your brother, the whole world will blame him,

So do you want to be a younger brother?If I were my younger brother, I could make up your birth according to the fairy tales in my memory!

When he threw the horns, he felt his hand slipping. One horn landed flat, with the convex side facing up, and the other hit the edge of the table when he threw it. With a smile on his face, he put the horn on the ground, with the plane facing upwards.

Bump and bump, Holy Grail, yes.

It's just...does this still count?

Xia Anran's eyes widened and he was about to ask something, when he saw the Taoist who couldn't see his face and smiled at him, "It's okay, you just let go and do it, the god doesn't say anything, in fact, he is very satisfied with Lang Jun. "

The man in the gray-white Taoist robe bowed to Xia Anran, "I also want to thank you, sir."

"...Huh?" Xia Anran blinked, a little uncomfortable, he took a few steps sideways to avoid the ceremony, and then quickly helped him up, "What is the Taoist priest doing? I have never done it for the gods." What."

Seeing the smile on the long lips, he looked up at Xia Anran. Although his brows and eyes were unclear, his aura made Xia Anran feel that this must be a soft and clear image of a Taoist priest, "Don't worry about it, sir. , I thank you for your own reasons, and now the time has not come, you just have to wait patiently."

Xia Anran frowned slightly when she heard the words, and felt that something unplanned was about to happen again, and then he heard the Taoist say, "Lang Jun seems to be in trouble now?"

"The gods let me bring a word."

"Don't let an autumn leaf cover all the spring scenery."

Xia Anran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Between such a movement and a stillness, he only felt that the irritability and distress that lingered in his body before had all dissipated, and suddenly he felt a new look.

Although he doesn't know exactly what Tai Yishen refers to, but he also understands that this is the other party's good intentions. Thinking about it carefully, he has indeed felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety recently. He just feels that time is too tight, but if he thinks about it carefully, he There are still four or five years to plan, even if there are some mistakes after four or five years, it is not irreversible.

There is no need to be so anxious.

If it weren't for this body, which is only in its 20s, I would have thought it was menopause.

With such disrespectful thoughts in mind, Xia Anran bowed to the painted statue of Taiyi to thank him, and then thanked the little Taoist priest, then he suddenly changed his mind and asked the little Taoist priest, "Master Taoist, I don't know what is your birth date? Wouldn't it be better if I were here to worship you together?"

The Taoist was obviously stunned for a moment, he was silent for a long time and smiled and said, "No need, I'm just an ordinary Taoist serving the king and god, and I don't take the road of cultivation. I can't eat offerings."

Xia Anran nodded knowingly, and then he only had time to say goodbye to the two of them before he was woken up, and the little official who woke him up saw Xia Anran's sanity return, so his mouth fluttered, and he was very efficient. Said the matter cleanly.

This quick tone made Xia Anran quickly forget what was wrong in the dream, and after washing his face, he concentrated and listened to the little official's report again.

On this day, all the officials of the workshop were extremely happy, because the official position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was finally promoted.

Here we are going to talk about the mystery of official positions in the Song Dynasty. Officials, positions, and missions in Song Dynasty were separated.For example, take Bao Zheng as an example, he is the right to know the Kaifeng government, but at the same time he is also the magistrate of Dali Temple, a bachelor of Longtuge, and the position of the magistrate of Dali Temple is a Jilu official, that is, he has a reputation but no work, but he can receive salary but Not too high, that is to say, Bao Zheng can receive three wages alone, even though he has never worked as the prime minister of Dali Temple.

But when it comes to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, when he was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, both he himself and the emperor regarded him as a screw, temporarily plugging the hole, but these days the emperor finally put this poor little His salary was raised, and in addition to the salary of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he was also appointed as a Dian Zhong Cheng, which was considered a reputation.

Although it is nothing compared to the salary of the second-rank senior official of the Ministry of Industry, it is a double insurance in the era of the Song Dynasty, where the turnover of officials is very fast. It can basically be seen that the emperor is very satisfied with this Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Will not move his posture.

After joining in the fun with everyone to congratulate the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Xia Anran took a leave of absence and went home early. Instead of riding in a carriage, he walked quietly on the street, and what lingered in his ears was the people in Bianjing City of the Song Dynasty full of fun. The noisy sound sounds extremely lively and calms people's hearts.

After a while, the little prince felt something was wrong after listening to it. Did he mention the army more frequently?

"It's more than that." Seeing that Xia Anran was curious about this, the soldier who accompanied him joked, "If you go and sit in the teahouse, six of the ten short plays are related to the army."

Ah, could it be that I haven't been on the street for a long time and missed Jingzhong fashion?

Xia Anran smiled, "Since that's the case, let's go to the teahouse and listen."

Then he was stunned by a series of [Stories about me and the general of the Liao Kingdom], [The Domineering Prince's Little Spy], [The Story of a Pretty Daughter Joining the Army], and [What should I do with you, my lover of the Liao Kingdom].

Seeing the little boy holding a small bamboo stick on the road and shouting "Don't run, eat me with a stick", and the acquaintance between the patrolling Kaifeng government soldiers and the people who can greet each other is even more dizzy. .

When did military-civilian relations become so harmonious?Did he miss something?

"Thanks to the Military Daily."

The soldier who suggested Xia Anran to go to the teahouse explained, "Since last year, the "Military Daily" has written many stories about soldiers with military status from various places, and the people have finally figured out the difference between our military status." The soldier has been stiff for a long time There was a smile on his face, "They thought that the frontier soldiers and the soldiers generally didn't need to practice, but now the non-wartime life is extremely comfortable."

He didn't continue, but Xia Anran knew what he meant, he frowned, and could almost imagine the feelings of ordinary people.

People in the Song Dynasty paid taxes to the state, which was different from the modern thinking mode of "taxes are collected from the people and used by the people". At this time, they were more like paying protection fees.

But even so, when they learned that the country used the money collected from them to support a group of idlers who had nothing to do, especially when they contacted these soldiers who looked like soldiers in their own county, the people must be unhappy.

In addition, the military system of the Song Dynasty was a mercenary system. Compared with the forced recruitment of previous dynasties and generations, this system reduced the burden on the people, but it also invisibly made the people have higher expectations and lower gratitude.

And all kinds of information in the "Military Daily" told them that even if the frontier troops of the Song Dynasty were training every day if there was no war, the battalions beside the Song Dynasty would also participate in the local rescue operations.On the one hand, this is propaganda for the army, and on the other hand, it is also a competition between the major military regions.

After several operations of reducing the army, most of the Song army today is dominated by hot-blooded men. Such a composition is doomed to their character traits of being competitive. The "Military Daily" is not only circulated among the people, but also sent Go to the major military regions for the soldiers to look through, and at a glance, the soldiers who see their best performance this month are very happy. If they are overwhelmed by the neighboring military region, they will be extremely angry.

If you are at the bottom, let alone them, let alone them, generals who join the army can't stand it, even the supervising army who is always gentle and eccentric in daily life can't stand this.

Who can bear the fact that their army is being compared to others!Even if you can't see these rough guys anymore, they are still rough guys covered by the old man.

The old man can bully, but others can't.

Under this rather distorted mode of thinking, since the second half of last year, the major military regions of Song Dynasty have been making frequent moves.

What went up the mountain to fight tigers, what went down the mountain to catch bandits, what mopped up horse bandits, what helped repair houses, what raised delicious pigs and sold them cheaply, and so on. It was Xia An who then handed over this line to Zhao Zhen , I don’t know how Zhao Zhen did it later, no wonder the censor attacked the "Military Daily" some time ago, isn't it because the image was too radical.

This is not possible. Xia Anran wrote down this matter in his notebook. The image of the army cannot be overly portrayed. If it is too high, it will be worse than before. The army of Song Dynasty can only be said to be slightly stronger than before. It's better, if you really want to hang a sign of strict military discipline, you may have a bad fall.

"My lord, how does this taste?" Just as he was furiously writing, he heard a male voice whispering, although he lowered his voice, he was still caught by Xia Anran's sensitive hearing, just as the little lord looked over inexplicably. At that time, he saw his cousin who was supposed to work overtime in the palace. At this time, he was holding the donkey meat that Xia Anran had praised several times, and was eating vigorously.

Facing the shopkeeper's inquiry, this person smiled warmly and said in a low voice, "The reputation is well-deserved."

Xia Anran: ...Huh? ? ?

He suddenly heard a heavenly voice from the distant sky, and a real slap in the face from him persuading Taiyi God to be his younger brother.

The author has something to say: Taiyishen: Hehe.

Xia Miao: My face hurts!

Zhao Damiao: =w=

The old three sets of religions in this article have all appeared in reality. The author, Jun, experienced the development of Wheel Teaching from an ordinary fitness activity (similar to Tai Chi) to a cult and was suppressed by the whole country when he was a child. I am located in Shanghai, and there are people practicing around me. Wheel exercises, not to mention the slightly remote places.It is said that there are still traces of Lunzi Gong in remote places.

Even today's security inspection activities are all based on Lun Gong. If you travel to Taiwan now, you will find many large slogans of Lun Gong, similar to the fact that the mainland government is innocent of persecuting them.

Lunzigong was first established in health-cultivating qigong. It took the same path as Taijiquan, combined with some Buddhist and Taoist theories. The early 90s was the time when people's self-esteem was smashed and then reattached. The life pressure of people in that era was beyond our imagination. Yes, we are getting better now, how did they survive at that time.

Religion is always developed when people are suffering the most.

Therefore, Lun Zi Gong came up with a whole set of theory of retribution to encourage people. At the beginning, everyone didn't pay attention to it, because Lun Zi Gong was still a common practice at this time, following the path of health and longevity.

At that time, domestic religious control was not mentioned, it is better to say that the state did not pay attention to it at all, and people were usually more docile with religious restrictions.

But later, Lun Zi Gong needed to make money, so it embarked on the traditional path.

The first is the apotheosis of the leader, for example, the wheels can spin and float in the air, and there is also a VCD for you to watch non-stop.

Why do all cults encourage you not to take medicine when you are sick, because if you don’t take medicine, the boss will read scriptures for you, preach to you, and exorcise you from the heavens. This is the best time to make money.

People are the best liars when they believe in it with all their heart. If you left religion and right science, you would be vacillating.

Why do you always have to fight against ZF? This reason is the same as that of hooligans who challenge Uncle JC as a way to establish their authority.

Later, it was said that there was Lao Mei’s capital injection behind Lunzigong, maybe not only Lao Mei, but also many countries. They just wanted to follow the path of religious interference in politics in Western European countries in China, but our country has always had ancestral methods for dealing with this. .

Good religious support, bad suppression, the ancestors supported the Tao to destroy the Buddha, and helped the Buddha to destroy the Tao so many times, it gave us the right to believe in religion freely.In many ways, foreign: China has no faith is actually a compliment.

Besides, what we believe in is our ancestors, not gods, but human beings, who are just like us but extremely special in some aspects. Chinese religions are human gods to a large extent, not an original creation. , but a capable person in a certain aspect. In the final analysis, we also believe in his spirit, such as Dayu's water control, Shennong Baicao, Nuwa mending the sky, people who fetched fire, and Cangjie who created characters, etc. We believe in Tian Xing Healthy, a gentleman strives for self-improvement, and the terrain is Kun, a gentleman carries things with virtue.It is also the generation of countless amazing talents and stunning beauty in the past 5000 years.

In the final analysis, I still believe that people can conquer the sky, and there are thousands of similar people with shining points.

...But believing in religion is not as good as believing in the party, scientists, and the new Chinese who are working hard to build a new China~, cough... (Put up your chest)

PS: Knowing about and passing by Shangxiang is not really believing in it.If you really believe it, at least you have to recite his teachings to be able to keep up with the daily puja activities. In fact, there are really not many such pious believers in our country at present.
