Chapter 488 Arrives at the richest city in the Northern Song Dynasty - Bianjing!
It is not easy to go out, Li Yan came to the inner house from the martial arts training ground, and began to dress under Lin San's service.

The Lin family is undoubtedly a well-to-do family. Later, Lin Chong bought a precious sword that almost cost him his life with a thousand guan. How much will this thousand guan be worth in future generations?

In the early Tang Dynasty of the last world, there was no great depreciation due to the Anshi Rebellion. The purchasing power of one penny was barely equivalent to two yuan in later generations. However, due to the great differences in the specific records of the prices in the Song Dynasty, there were many places where there were different opinions. Later generations estimated , the purchasing power of a penny hovers around the range from [-] cents to [-] yuan.

Calculated according to seventy cents, seven hundred and seventy Wen in the Song Dynasty is a consistent money, and one thousand Guan is [-] Wen, which is about [-] RMB in later generations.

This is really a lot. The Song Dynasty emphasized civil and military affairs, but the salary and benefits of military officers were not less than those of civil officials, and some even more, but they were often oppressed mentally.

So when Lin San opened the closet, Li Yan looked inside and found that he had quite a lot of clothes. What made him frown was: "Why do you even have hoodies and cool shirts for scholar-bureaucrats?"

The hoodie was worn by the scholar-officials in the Northern Song Dynasty when they communicated. It is composed of a black gauze cap, a sapon shirt, and a horn belt. Dust, maintain manners.

Lin San whispered: "These are prepared by Alang for Erlang."

Li Yan understood: "Father also wants me to take the imperial examination, it's not surprising..."

Lin Yuanjing hoped that his son would be able to take the imperial examination. After all, the Song Dynasty was a national imperial examination. Even the sons of merchants could participate, and the children of military officers could also participate, but the admission rate was often lowered, making Jinshi look more valuable.

Li Yan was interested in the reform of the imperial examination, but not interested in taking the imperial examination himself. He turned his eyes away from the style of the scholar-bureaucrat: "Take a white robe that fits well."

Robes were the most common clothing for men in the Song Dynasty. Those with official rank wore soap robes, those without officials but with better living conditions wore white robes, and ordinary people wore cloth robes. Sometimes there were changes.

Li Yan always wore whatever clothes he had regardless of his status, and he would neither overstep nor wear shabby clothes to cause trouble on purpose.

Lin San chose a white robe, wiped his forehead, tied it on his forehead, and chose a leather belt.

The ancient dignitaries often used belts to show their status and distinguish the social status of men.

This point in the Song Dynasty was very finely divided. The belt was adorned with various ornaments, jade for the third rank and above; gold for the fourth rank; silver for the fifth rank and sixth rank; silver for the seventh rank and internal military officers; Silver; foreign officials, businessmen, scholars, and ordinary people match iron and horns.

Lin San looked at the horn ornaments on the belt and felt a little emotional: "Erlang, when you have a ninth-rank official body, you can wear a black silver belt!"

Li Yan smiled and didn't answer.

After tidying up his appearance, he took Lin San out of the house.

The Lin family lives in the inner city of Bianjing. The most prosperous area in the inner city is undoubtedly the Daxiangguo Temple in the center of Kaifeng. Everything you need.

Li Yan did not go to the Daxiangguo Temple, but came to the imperial street in Bianjing.

From Xuande Gate to Nanxun Gate, there is a royal street ten miles long and two hundred and twenty steps wide.

He brought Lin San into the crowd.

The first impression of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty is that it is neat.

Not only is the street horizontal and vertical, but also the shops of the merchants are gathered in the specified square market. Therefore, when walking on Suzaku Street, which is also the royal road, there are rows of elm trees and pagoda trees for shade on both sides. Behind the square wall is the courtyard of the deep house. , with heavy eaves and heavy buildings, the whole city is majestic and solemn.

The first impression of Bianjing in the Song Dynasty is that it is lively.

The two sides of the street are no longer flat walls, but shop vendors, all kinds of yelling, heavy traffic, and the flow of people. There is a faint taste of the prosperous metropolis of later generations, which makes Li Yan look a little nostalgic.

That’s how people are. They used to see the bustling metropolises, and they liked the well-organized cities like Chang’an when they first saw them. Later, they got used to the square and city systems of Chang’an and Luoyang, and when they saw Bianjing, a bustling metropolis that resembled the later generations, they felt a little bit different. I like the feeling of being so popular.

Just looking at it, Li Yan couldn't help thinking of the shame of Jingkang more than [-] years later.

The smile slowly disappeared.

There is a famous rumor in later generations that Han women were eaten as two-legged sheep during the chaos of the Five Dynasties.

This is false, and there is no such paragraph in the official historical records.

Jiehu's use of Han women as military rations, and Ran Min's later order to kill Hu are all products of Internet fiction.

Ran Min is a standard politician, he has no national standpoint, he helps Hu people when he needs help, and helps Han people when he needs to help Han people. As for the real source of the two-legged sheep, it is a writer's notebook in the Song Dynasty, guessing and describing it when is it
Yes, it was the Jingkang period.

Perhaps the rumormongers of later generations felt that the shame of Jingkang was so miserable that no further description was needed, so they moved this forward and moved it to Wuhuluanhua.

Li Yan is not a pessimistic person, but when he was walking on the streets of Bianjing, which is prosperous and prosperous, he couldn't help sighing when he thought of the most humiliating history.

Lin San noticed his emotional change: "Erlang, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yandao: "I thought of a catastrophe. Since I've come, it's not difficult to stop it. The main thing is, what can I do after I stop it? Some things still can't be changed..."

Lin San showed a dazed look: "What Erlang said, I can't understand..."

Li Yan was not in a hurry: "It's okay, let's take a look at it slowly, observe and observe, and then talk about other things."

Lin San still didn't understand. As a person who lived in Bianjing since he was a child, he looked around and said in a low voice: "Erlang, the new emperor has ascended the throne and amnesty the world. There is no change on the street?"

For the ordinary people at the bottom, changing the emperor is actually nothing. The key is to amnesty the world. If any relatives or friends are imprisoned or escaped, they will have the opportunity to clear their charges and start a new life.

For Li Yan, changing the position of the emperor means: reaching the richest city in the Northern Song Dynasty - Bianjing!Bianjing is too prosperous, eh, isn’t this Song Huizong?Just look at the golden man in the distance, family members!
Now that he thought of the shame of Jingkang, Zhao Ji, who had just ascended the throne and was only eighteen years old today, was a topic that had to be talked about.

Many people think that Li Zhi's throne fell from the sky. If it wasn't for Li Chengqian's death, it would not be Li Zhi's turn, but Li Zhi is at least the son of the eldest grandson empress. Zhao Ji is the worst among all the princes.

So how did this future emperor of flowers and birds fall from the sky and pick up the emperor of Song Dynasty for nothing?
Because he has no mother.

Well, that seems a bit vulgar to say, so let's put it another way.

Because the fuck is dead.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month of this year, Zhezong died suddenly. Not to mention he had no heirs, he didn't even leave a will. The right of inheritance naturally fell to his five brothers.

Zhezong's same mother and brother are still there, at the age of sixteen, the prime minister suggested making him his son. The queen mother's power is difficult to guarantee, so she vetoed it on the grounds that all five brothers were concubines, and there were no different reasons.

The concubine is indeed a concubine, neither of them was born to the queen mother, and two of the biological mothers are still there, and two of the biological mothers are dead, but the adoptive mother of the biological mother is the concubine of Emperor Renzong, who can be used as a backer.

Only Zhao Ji, whose birth mother was the royal attendant of Ye Ting, had a low status, died of illness at a young age, and the motherless child turned into a treasure, and was caught by the Queen Mother at a glance.

As soon as Zhao Ji came to the throne, the queen mother immediately "had the right to deal with military and state affairs", which actually meant "don't listen to military and state affairs", and became the fourth regent queen mother in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In July of this year in history, Queen Mother Xiang withdrew the curtain as agreed, but she did not intend to return to power. Even if she dared not compare with Wu Zetian, Liu E could still imitate...

As a result, the old woman was defeated by the eighteen-year-old Zhao Ji.

Food and fun.

At this stage of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were too many problems. The subsequent subjugation of the country was actually a historical inevitability. Changing the emperor may not be much better, unless it is the kind of great man descended from heaven, otherwise it should be destroyed or it must be destroyed.

But being destroyed so easily, and the shame of Jingkang so humiliating, this is a historical accident. The root cause is Zhao Ji's ascendancy, and the queen mother must definitely take the blame.

Li Yan walked all the way, thinking about the emperor and the queen mother habitually, and suddenly found that Lin San behind him was looking in one direction frequently, and many men on the street were also walking in that direction in a hurry, he couldn't help asking: " Where is that going?"

Lin San smiled meanly: "Erlang, they are going to see the girl!"

Li Yan raised his brows: "Women... do women compete for friendship?"

Lin San's eyes lit up: "Erlang is also interested? Then should we go and see?"

Li Yanqi said: "Since the Renzong Dynasty, Wen Guogong entered "On Shangyuan Lingwomen's Sumo Competition" and forbade female nude dramas to compete for friendship. Does Bianjing still have the kind you like to watch?"

Wen Guogong is Sima Guang who died [-] years ago. Logically speaking, he should be called Wen Zhenggong, but Li Yan would call Fan Zhongyan Wen Zhenggong, but he didn't like to call Sima Guang that way, and replaced him with Guogong.

Lin San didn't know who Wen Guogong was at all, but he had heard about the treacherous official who suppressed women's sumo wrestling. He gritted his teeth and laughed again: "It is true that nude scenes are not allowed, but it is helpless if the clothes are not torn and damaged. Hehehe, girls are even more popular now!"

Li Yan: "..."

Really, there are policies and countermeasures, nude scenes are not allowed, so come and explode your shirt?I really understand this aspect...

Seeing this young master's interest, Lin San was even more delighted, like a treasure: "If Erlang is interested, the recent puppet show is absolutely not to be missed. There are 'Han Chunchun', 'Jin Lebo', 'Sai Maung Duo' women Hurry up, they are all famous women, they are late, and there is no place for money to stand!"

"What name is this?"

Li Yan laughed, but he also said reasonably: "Forget it, since you are so eager, I will reluctantly take you to have a look!"
