An era that should not be buried by history. An emperor who should not be looked down upon by the past and present. The Five Dynasties ended, and the conflict continued. China welcomed another division of the north and south, and also welcomed the third generation of Zhao Song, Zhao Heng. Although the Chanyuan alliance had stabilized the regime of the Central Plains, the rumors of the three generations of improper positions were like ghosts in the middle of the night, wandering inside and outside the country. Thus, the orthodox Heavenly Book Movement was vigorously staged. Thousands of auspicious signs came. In this pursuit of fame and fortune, an extremely brilliant light came over a thousand years, turning into a cluster of flowers that bloomed only for the golden age. At the age of nine, he went to the court and the emperor personally tried him. Four years in the examination, the first in ancient and modern times. The five dynasties did not fall, and the reputation was mixed. The emperor called him "an example for all generations." The world called it "the auspicious sign of the Heavenly Dynasty." It was known as "the rule of prodigies".
Song, Xianping two years (AD 999) in July, Khitan suddenly Chen heavy troops in Hebei, intended to go south again.
Emperor Zhao Heng appointed Fu Qian, Marquis Yu of Ma Bu Army, as the deployment of the camp capital of Zhen, Ding and Gaoyang Pass, Zhang Zhaoyun, the envoy of the West Gate, as the jurisdiction of the capital, Qin Han, the deputy governor of the inner palace, as the supervisor of the array, Tian Shaobin, the defense envoy of Laizhou, and Shi Pu, the defense envoy of Chongyi, as the vanguard, and Yang Qiong, the defense envoy of Shanzhou, as the vanguard.
Another era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the history of China slowly began to unfold, showing the joys and sorrows.
In August of the same year, the Privy Council ordered Wang Jiying to report the Khitan invasion urgently, and asked Zhao Heng to follow the example of Chai Rong, Emperor Shizong of Zhou, to patrol the north.
Zhao Heng listened to his advice and ordered Wang Jiying to send messengers to Zhenzhou, Dingzhou and Gaoyangguan to inspect the palace and comfort the soldiers.
At the same time, the southwest was also unstable.
Zhao Heng then sent the judge of the degree branch, Chen Yaosou, a member of the Ministry of War, together with the worship officer and Chen Cai, the only waiting for the door, to Xichuan Road to measure the official business. The judge of the Ministry of Revenue, Dr. Ding Wei, together with the right servant ban and the only waiting for the door, Jiao Shoujie, went to the gorge road to measure the official business.
The authority of the judge of the third division is similar to that of the judge of the third division of the Ministry of Revenue. The former has more power, while the latter has less power.
Chen Yaosou and Ding Wei were both Jinshi. The former was the top scholar in the second year of Duangong (989 AD), while the latter was the fourth in the third year of Chunhua (992 AD).
Ding Wei was born in his youth. At first, he was born in the south and ranked fourth in the first division because of his family background. Later, he met Chen Yaosou, who was lucky to advance because of his identity as a Shu person and could establish his own family (the embryonic form of the Shu Party). He was not convinced on the surface and in his heart.
Therefore, the two of them were only acquaintances who nodded.
Chen Yaosou could also feel this blatant hostility, and before he even left Kaifeng Manor, they parted ways.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, water transport extended in all directions, which was the best in all dynasties.
Therefore, the waterway was the first choice for travel.
Xichuan, Gorge Road is later Sichuan.
The road to Shu is difficult, but it is difficult to climb the sky.
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the steep terrain makes it a land of abundance.
Generally speaking, the Central Plains could only enter Shu through the north and east routes.
North through Hanzhong into the Sword Pavilion, east through Yiling knock Kui Gate.
Chen Yaosou went north, Ding Wei went south.
Yiling controls the Sichuan Gorge on the top and leads to Jingxiang on the bottom. It is the place where the Xiangzhou Prefecture on the north road of Jingzhou is located. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. The four seasons are distinct.
Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, cries came from a village that was surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Heart-wrenching, lonely and tender.
"Poor thing."
"The heavens are blind…"
"How should I live in the future? No relatives or friends."
"No relatives?"
"Do you know about the transport army? During the years when Li Shun was in chaos in Shu, the Liu family escaped in the fourth year of Chunhua (993 AD). It was not easy for them to settle down, but they encountered such a disaster. What a sin…Liu Lizheng's body was not even cold, and Little Lady Sun passed away. Ya 'er is already so young…It will be difficult in the future!"
"What are you watching? Don't you know how to settle the child first?" An old man in his fifties hurried over, followed by four or five young men.
"Everyone, make way. Chief Qi has arrived."
"Should we report it to the authorities first?"
"Let's send the child into the house first," Elder Li said with a frown."Ask Coroner Yang to send the little lady back."
A young woman picked up the two-year-old girl and walked toward the east side of the courtyard."Please bring Brother Wei over. My house is quiet."
Zhao and Song followed the old system of Chai Zhou and stipulated that the households of each state were divided into five grades, which were assessed once every three years.
The third class of households were added to the service, and the fourth and fifth classes were exempted.
The first-class household is the chief of the village, the second-class household is the head of the household, and the third-class household is the archer.
Every 100 households are divided into a group, and each group chooses three large households as the elders.
Where there are traitors and thieves in the common people's homes, the three big households will investigate them. If the common people's fields are damaged or harvested, the three big households will divide them equally.
Generally speaking, the head of the household was in charge of the village book, the hand tax, the supervision of taxes, the old chief in charge of the village litigation, and led the archer to chase thieves.
Elder Li ordered the crowd to leave. The coroner Yang first examined the woman's fingers for a moment, then carefully examined her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. He shook his head stiffly."It's not caused by external force. It should be excessive grief."
"Sigh…Why don't you think about the child?" Elder Li sighed and took out 30 coins from his sleeve.
"I can't take the money. I came twice before the month ended." The coroner surnamed Yang kept his distance. After washing his hands in the wooden basin, he took out twenty coins and placed them on the table."This is a small token of my appreciation. Please take care of Lady Sun's funeral. Liu Lizheng's kindness these two years... cannot be forgotten."
"No! You can't!" Li Qi waved his hands.
"I must be at ease on this trip." The coroner walked away quickly. His back, which was usually ominous, was now tall and straight.
"Everyone has the money to contribute, and those who don't have the money to contribute." Patriarch Li also took out a copper coin from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
As a result, the villagers gave generously and buried the idea of buying the land deep in their hearts.
In the Song Dynasty, first-class households were in charge of the escort and supply of official goods, and they were responsible for the shortage of goods. Those who accepted the service often went bankrupt.
During the chaos of Shu, the Lizheng surnamed Liu could not escape the fate of robbing the rich to help the poor.
As early as the fourth year of Chunhua, Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to Shu. Liu Lizheng and his brother had to escape from Shu through Kui Gate.
Coincidentally, Zhao Guangyi issued an edict to recruit and appease the refugees from Shu. According to the regulations of the internal migration of the Fan Department, they settled down in Yiling.
His brother Liu Qian is in charge of the family's livelihood.
His younger brother, Liu An, was recruited by Lei Youzhong, the military transport envoy, to serve as a guide and died in Chunhua for five years.
Although Liu An left, the rest of the shadow is still there.
At this time, the officialdom was relatively clear, and Shu was in chaos, so they urgently needed to appease the people.
Lei Youzhong treated the refugees from Shu well, and Liu An, who had made military achievements, became an example. Because he had no wife and no children, the rest of the shadow fell on Liu Qian.
The money was small, but the 100 acres of fertile land was a real benefit, as well as three years of labor and tax exemption.
The Liu family prospered from this. Even though the population was thin, even if it was only a family of three, there were hundreds of tenants waiting in line to be hired.
Some people went, some came.
The infant was still healthy after the war and was named Liu Wei.
His wife, Sun Shi, gave birth to a daughter in the third year of Zhidao. The family of four was thriving.
It was also this year that the Liu family was rated as a first-class household, a sucker within a radius of several miles.
Fortunately, there were no major wars in the past few years, and the disaster of the distant service was only a big worry in his heart.
Liu Qian had been through many life-and-death situations and acted decisively. He felt that the northwest would be in chaos sooner or later, so he intended to spend his family wealth to catch up with the next three years.
He thought that it would be good if there were only 30 mu left of the 100 mu of fertile land. He wanted to protect his wife and children for the rest of his life.
All requests were granted.
Be it the officials or the neighbors.
This was a must for a newcomer to truly integrate into the place, but he had spent most of his time on a dead person.
At that time, the world's business tax, only Shu heavy.
After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he became even more aggressive. In order to plunder more wealth from Shu, he put silk, salt, tea, and other things under monopoly control.
These industries were the foundation of the people's livelihood in Bashu. The old routine of forcing the people to rebel was still applicable.
Now, although the chaos in Shu had been temporarily pacified, the root of the disease had not been cured yet. The undercurrent was still surging in the dark. People were entering Badong of Guizhou Province through the Kui Gate in an endless stream.
The hearts of these people who had left their homes were like a mirror. Shu was bound to be chaotic. Where were they waiting for death?
The people in Guizhou were chasing the refugees to the border of the Xia State. The corpses floating on the river were evidence that human lives were like grass in this chaotic world.
Gui Zhou acted recklessly, but it didn't mean that Xia Zhou would dare to do so. After all, Jiangling Prefecture, which was 200 miles away, was the administration of Jing Hu North Road.
The corpses floating on the river became the top priority for the officials and people of Yiling.
Liu Qian took the initiative to take on this thankless task. Most people understood his thoughts, but only this family had such courage.
Man's plan was not as good as God's.
The plan was very good, but it did not take accidents into account.
Autumn harvest was the most active season for refugees, and Zhao Songsu had a tradition of "leniency for the hungry".
Those who rob food because of hunger shall only kill the chief evil, and the rest shall be punished with caning.
Therefore, the people of Shu ignored the dangers of the mountains and rivers and went down the river.
Most of them could only rely on simple bamboo rafts, and with the restrictions of the government troops, there were more floating corpses.
Liu Qian felt the same way and often led the tenants to converge on the river.
The living couldn't take care of it, so they could only find a place for the dead to live.
A peaceful act of kindness met with an accident at the end of the autumn harvest.
A water dragon appeared on the river surface, and Liu Qian and the two tenants did not manage to escape.
The Sun family held on to her illness to arrange Liu Qian's funeral and appease the families of the tenants who had died. She had once failed to survive Liu Qian's 4th or 7th birthday because of the root cause of her illness, leaving behind a pair of little children.
Liu Qian's two years of hard work had not been in vain. Even if his neighbors were usually jealous, they were willing to step forward at this moment.
It was human nature to have thoughts that one should not have.
The Song Dynasty followed the system of the Zhou Dynasty.
In the transaction of land with no households, the tenants were the first to be sold, and then the neighbors. The tenants and neighbors were unable to buy or were unwilling to buy. They were the ordinary customers (most of them were fifth-grade households).
The children left behind by Liu Qian and Sun were too young, and the specific countermeasures had to wait for Chief Li to report to Yiling County.
Dai Guozhen, the magistrate of the county, was also a scholar in Chunhua for three years. He first served as the county magistrate of the neighboring county and then knew the affairs of Yiling County.
In the first three years of this term, the evaluation was medium or high. According to the regulations of four years at this time, when he entered the court to change his official position, his heart had already flown thousands of miles away. After sighing with emotion that the weather was unpredictable, he instructed the county magistrate to treat Liu's pair of young children well according to the old rules.
Story?
Check the old rules.
The county magistrate didn't have any bad intentions and acted fairly.
Shu was in chaos year after year, and many court officials and envoys came to the Kui Gate through Yiling. It would be more comfortable to get a few corrupt officials to deal with these things.
The old man surnamed Li brought back the placement plan: Liu Wei foster care on three households, the government to give six years of rations, after adulthood, inherit the family business. Liu Jiao adopted the other three households as a child bride.
"Jiaojiao is my sister! We won't separate even if we die!"
The two-year-old Liu Jiao didn't know what had happened, but the seven-year-old Liu Wei was so angry that he fainted. When he woke up again, his mind was filled with thousands of years of memories.
He was originally the owner of a bookstore that sold supplementary materials for elementary, junior, and senior education.
The bookstore was opposite the school, and his house was above the bookstore. His girlfriend, who was about to get married, was a nurse at the central hospital next door.
The days were red hot, with no pay for winter and summer vacation.
When the students were in class, the shop was also empty, but they still had to stick to it day after day.
Books became friends, especially the three thousand years of Huaxia that was as vast as the sea.
The brush of history was like a knife, with blood and flesh.
