After the news of Kaienke was released, the incident of scholars gathering in the rituals quickly subsided. Then Zhao Bing issued an edict to properly resettle the scholars who were taking the exam and issue customs to solve the basic living problems. With the arrival of a large number of scholars, the city became lively. They came from all over the south of the Yangtze River. Qiongzhou had been moving here for several years. They were eager to learn about the situation in their hometown and asked them one after another.
So the ubiquitous newspapers, big and small, caught the topic and published interviews with scholars to attract attention. The Qiongtai Times also opened a column and set up a section to find relatives and friends in Qiong for these scholars who came to visit. Each newspaper invited scholars to introduce the situation in the inland area and paid a considerable royalty. Some scholars became even more excited and broke the news.
"Haha, these scholars are also very gossipy!" Zhao Bing took a break from his busy schedule and smiled while holding the newspaper.
"What interesting things have the official family seen again?" Su Lan, who was serving next to him, asked with a smile when she saw the little emperor laughing.
"The newspaper said that the Tartars never wash dishes when they eat. Even if they occasionally use broth to rinse the dishes, they pour the soup and meat back into the pot after washing. If they want to wash the tableware such as jars, jars, spoons, etc., they also use the same method to rinse. They believe that wasting any food or drink is a great crime. Therefore, before the bone marrow is completely sucked, they are not allowed to throw bones to dogs. They never wash clothes themselves, nor are they allowed to wash clothes, especially when thunderstorms change. I really can't think of how sloppy they can look, and that they can eat with such a plate!" Zhao Bing said with a smile. Not to mention in modern society, he has never seen such a person even now.
"The official family, there is nothing strange about this. Those Mongolians who do not wash their hands regardless of their status before eating, wrap their hands around their legs or grab some things to wipe their hands. They also grab them directly with their hands when eating, so that their hands are covered with greasyness, and those with higher status will have a handkerchief to wipe their hands. When eating meat, one of them cuts the meat into small pieces, and the other uses the tip of a knife to feed each person. Some people give more, some people give less, and the amount depends on the status of their status." Su Lan frowned, but she did not feel funny at all, but was a little disgusted.
"How could you know, did you also see it from the newspaper?" Zhao Bing asked with a twisted face.
"The official family, I have been to the Puzi family in Quanzhou. The Puzi often hosted the Tartars at home, so I saw them!" Su Lan said, "Those Tartars are not only sloppy, but also addicted to alcohol. They thought that only by getting drunk can they appear heroic. Even if they drink too much, they will continue to drink wildly. They will not hesitate to get sick because of this. And the Tartars have to clean up their bodies..."
"Miss Su, I heard that Tartars eat dogs, wolves, foxes and horses. They eat everything they can eat. Isn't that true?" Wang De asked curiously.
"Well, they still eat people!" Su Lan nodded.
"Eat people?! Then aren't they beasts?" Wang De said in surprise.
"The Tartars not only eat people, but even their own people!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.
"How can the official family know? Is there any report?" Wang De turned to the little emperor again and said.
"Haha, do you know there is a military rule in the Tartars?" Zhao Bing saw both of them shook his head, and he continued, "Tartars are mostly cavalry and are known for their rapid maneuvers in combat, so they cannot carry a large amount of baggage with them. They often only carry food with them for ten days, and other needs are solved by seizure. This is also the reason why the Tartars do not steal money first, but capture livestock first whenever they go to a city. Whenever food is short and hungry and thirsty, the Tartars will drink horse blood and kill horses to get food. If the war is urgent and the city cannot be captured for a long time, they will use the method of drawing one out of ten, and select one person to kill everyone and share it. This has solved the problem of shortage of food!"
"The Tartars actually killed their companions and fed, wouldn't this be like a beast?" Wang De said in surprise.
"Yes, this is how the Tartars built a tiger and wolf army, so that they can win invincible battles and fight bravely, otherwise they will be the ones who will be defeated and die." Zhao Bing said.
"The officials are wrong. Those Tartars are very greedy for money!" Su Lan saw the little emperor talking, and said with a melancholy expression on his face, "Those Tartars are not aware of what shameful things are. They ask for money, and each has their own names. Their first part is to pay money to pay. If you have nothing to do, you should say to spend money. When you meet the money, you should say to pay money to chase the money. When you are in charge of the business, you should ask for money. If you want to pay money, you should say to pay money to pay money. If you want to pay money, you should say to pay money to pay money. If you want money, you should know what it is to be loyal to the emperor and love the people." Su Lan said.
"Oh, there are so many other words, so why don't you be three feet tall?" Zhao Bing smiled after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, how could the sky be three feet tall?" Wang De said in confusion, blinking and puzzled.
"Master, the Tartars crossed the border and slashed the ground three feet. Wasn't it three feet tall that day?" Su Lan explained with a chuckling.
"Hehe, so that's the case!" Wang De said with awkward smile after hearing this.
"What's more?" Su Lan continued, "Somehow, the Tartars tend to drink milk every summer. As long as they have horse milk, they drink a lot, and they rarely eat meat. Generally, people who are not rich cannot drink horse milk. They also drink mountain milk, milk, and even camel milk, or cook millet in water, which is very thin and can only drink soup. They drink one or two bowls in the morning, and they no longer eat during the day. But at night they each eat a little meat and drink some broth unless someone gives it to them or hunts birds and animals."
"Are there poor people among the Tartars?" Zhao Bing half-jokingly knew that the Mongolians had some special diet. The traditional food was divided into three types. The first was meat products, the second was dairy products, and the third was a beverage made of milk. The diet was divided into two seasons, summer and winter. The main food in summer was dairy products, and during this period, the meat was eaten relatively less. The main reason was that you needed to eat meat in winter to increase fat and resist the cold. After several months of accumulation, dairy products needed to be digested and absorbed in summer, which was considered a means of health preservation.
"Some of them, there are poor people among the Tartars, and there are Mongolian servants bought in the Pu Thief's Mansion!" Su Lan nodded seriously.
"There is such a thing?" Zhao Bing was a little surprised. As the ruling class, the people of the Mongols were the basis for maintaining their rule. As far as he knew, during major festivals, the Khan of the All-Yen Dynasty would reward them, and he would mobilize a large amount of materials from the Central Plains and Jiangnan every year to subsidize them. In theory, if they could not achieve a well-off life, they would not sell their children to live. After entering the Central Plains, the Jurchens held golden rice bowls and planted hard-core crops, leaving behind the reputation of the Eight Banners children in later generations!
"In fact, the Tartars are also most afraid of war. I heard that they brought their own saddles, horses, weapons and food. In order to prepare them, the poor families had to sell their wives and children. In the year of disaster, a large number of livestock died, and many herders were displaced, often migrating in large quantities to Helin, and in the southern desert and the Central Plains to survive. Even Mongolian children were sold to Huihui, Han and southern people to expel slaves, and even sold to Persia." Su Lan said in a leisurely manner.
"Yes, it's easy to be with hardships, but it's difficult to be with wealth!" Zhao Bing sighed.
Think about how similar things in the world are. After the primitive communism in the early stages of entrepreneurship, they will be divided, and the Mongolian Yuan cannot escape the historical laws. Not to mention a few Western expeditions, from the time when Kublai Khan succeeded to the Khanate, the military battle between the rebel nobles and the Yuan court within the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, the main battlefield spread wide, almost covering the old Mongolian lands, and has not ended until today.
The direct disaster caused by the war to the Mongols was that corvee labor was unprecedentedly heavy and that the economic foundation was unprecedentedly damaged. As Mongolian military households who had been stationed in the mainland before, they needed to continue to go out to fight. Under the harsh military law, they were difficult to escape, but they needed to sell their own land and his wife to quell the rebellion. What kind of life was generally imagined. Later, the restoration of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom's military signing system and recruiting large numbers of Han people from the former Jin Kingdom to join the army was also a helpless move by Kublai Khan.
"Officials, I heard some people telling me that the enemy chief's pseudo-queen died. He was heartbroken and drank wildly every day and ignored government affairs." Wang De saw that the young emperor was still very happy at first, but he sighed as he said that he would make His Majesty happy.
"By the way, I have heard about it," Su Lan also quickly continued.
"Oh, Empress Chabi is a virtuous queen. If it were not for her protection, I would not know how much hardship the deposed queen and the deposed emperor would have to suffer!" Zhao Bing was not happy, but sighed again.
"Official family..." Wang De saw that the little emperor was actually sad, so he thought that how could the Affairs Bureau not report such a big thing? His Majesty had obviously known it for a long time, but he was still very surprised to call him "Xian".
"Haha, I call him virtuous because I am talking about the matter, and it is not an exaggeration to call him virtuous because of what he does..." Seeing the two of them surprised, Zhao Bing smiled and explained.
When Kublai Khan was still a prince, Mongge Khan and his troops were divided into attacks on Song Dynasty. The following year, Mongge Khan died in Diaoyu Mountain, Sichuan. At this time, Kublai Khan was attacking Ezhou for a long time and did not come. Staff members Hao Jing, Yao Shu and others tried to persuade Kublai Khan to withdraw his troops, but Kublai Khan was eager to seek merit and refused to listen to the advice. At this time, Song sent more troops to support Ezhou, and Alibuge, who was left behind in Helin Khanting, was busy planning to seize the Khan throne and recruit and mobilize the Khan dynasty army privately.
If Ali Buge succeeds, Kublai Khan will be attacked from both sides, unable to advance, and unable to retreat, and the situation is extremely dangerous. At this critical moment, although Chabi is a woman, he dares to stand up. On the one hand, she righteously scolded Ali Buge for privately mobilizing the army; on the other hand, she decisively sent people to send a letter to Kublai Khan far away in Jiangnan. After seeing the letter, Kublai Khan realized the situation was serious and made up his mind to withdraw his troops and ascend to the throne of Khan before Ali Buge.
Because Kublai Khan was highly employed by the Han people in the early days, Cha Bi was also influenced by the advanced culture of the Central Plains. As a minority woman, she was relatively open-minded and not only could she give advice to Kublai Khan, but also had a bit of the clever and unique sense of women. Once, Kublai Khan approved several officials to circle fertile fields in the suburbs of the capital to build a ranch. Cha Bi did not directly advise Kublai Khan, but blamed Liu Bingzhong in front of Kublai Khan, saying: "You Han people are very smart. The emperor obeys your words. You know that it is wrong to enclose land and shepherd horses, so why not to advise the emperor? Do you want the emperor to abolish the edict that the emperor is not allowed to enclose land and shepherd horses?" Kublai Khan knew that Cha Bi was making a recommendation to him, and finally revoked the edict that the edict that allowed enclose land and shepherd horses.
After pacifying the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan specially displayed the treasures from the Southern Song Dynasty in the Dadu Palace to show off his achievements, and allowed the concubines to choose one they loved. The concubines were overjoyed and fought for the first time to choose, but Cha would not only not choose, but also be depressed and worried. Kublai Khan asked her that pacifying Jiangnan and unifying the world was a great joy, why was she unhappy? Chabi said that the ancestors of the Song Dynasty had accumulated these treasures and passed them to his descendants, but later generations could not defend their ancestors and destroyed the country, and these treasures fell into our hands. How could I bear to use these treasures! She was worried about whether the descendants could defend their hard-earned country and whether they would repeat the mistakes of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty. As a feudal queen, it was very rare to have such distant worries and insights.
Generally speaking, life in the palace was extravagant, and the Yuan Dynasty was no exception. However, at the beginning of the founding of the country, Kublai Khan knew the hardships of entrepreneurship, and could still ban extravagance and advocate frugality. Bows and arrows were the main combat weapons of the Mongolians and consumed a lot. In the past, they were thrown away all the used bow strings. Cha Bi led the palace servants to collect it, steam it again, and weave it as raw materials into cloth. The texture was finer and softer than silk. In addition, she saw that the Xuanhuiyuan drum made the drums and abandoned the front legs of the sheep, and felt it was a pity, so she ordered the palace servants to pick it up and mix it into colorful carpets, saving the country a lot of expenses.
To repair the old and profit, turn the waste into treasure. Cha Bibi is the queen of the "Supreme Girls". It is quite difficult and valuable to be so thrifty. Moreover, she is kind and sympathetic. Empress Dowager Quan of the Southern Song Dynasty was from Jiangnan. She was old and weak. After being captured in Dadu, she was not suitable for the environment and was sick for a long time. Cha Bibi pleaded for her in front of Kublai Khan, hoping that Kublai Khan would send her back to the south, but Kublai Khan refused. Cha Bibi repeatedly asked. Kublai Khan rebuked her for her for her short-sightedness, without long-term considerations, and refused. Obviously, this was because the two were in different angles, but they were indeed very humane.
