This was not Jinyao's first dinner party that started in the afternoon, but it was the first time it was so simple.
Even if all the countries in the world do not respect the Emperor Zhou, the Zhou rites still affect all aspects of the world. As the mayor of the town, Bai Ke is only the fourth level of Qin's military meritorious ranks. If not, he still belongs to the first level of a scholar, so the food at dinner
It is also in accordance with the regulations of Zhou Rites.
The emperor has nine cauldrons and eight guis, the princes have seven cauldrons and six guis, the ministers have five cauldrons and four guis, and the scholars have three cauldrons and two guis. However, the people of Guizhou cannot use cauldrons for food.
Bai Ke and Jin Yao both belong to the rank of Shishi, so they can share the same rank, three tripods and two guis. There are also some officials and village elders who, although they have not reached the rank of Bu Gengjue, are still at the rank of Shishi of the Qin State. Those who have not Gengjue are only
There is one person named Bai Ke, and then there are several people from Hairpin Bird Jue.
"The rank of Bu Geng is the top of the military ranks, which means that you can be exempted from the rank of soldiers, that is, military service. It is the fourth rank of my old Qin army meritorious rank. The next higher level is the doctor rank, which can be regarded as the county honor." Bai Ke told Jin Dynasty.
Yao explained the meaning of Qin's military meritorious title.
"The hairpin bird is the third in military merit. It is different from the head of Guizhou. It can be tied with a hairpin to show your nobility!" Bai Ke introduced several other Cao officials and pointed to the hairpins on their heads. They are the hairpins on their heads. They are the hairpins on their heads.
What they don't have, ordinary people can only use hairbands to tie them up, and these officials can only use hairpins.
Jin Yao nodded, and then looked at other wealthy people who could own three tripods and two guis.
"Shangzao, our wealthy family has two houses, three cows, and two servants!" Bai Ke smiled and led Jin Yao to the wealthy families and introduced them.
Seeing Jin Yao and Bai Ke coming, these people also stood up in a hurry to salute and toast.
Jin Yao understood that having a higher education meant that one could have one wife and one concubine and have two houses, and could also have tenant farmers and servants.
"Master, I live in one place, keep one servant, and pay 50 dan per year." Bai Ke continued to introduce the last few people who could own a eucalyptus, three tripods and two guis.
Jin Yao smiled and held up his wine bottle to greet everyone, and everyone returned the favor with their wine bottles.
As for the people outside the strips, they are not qualified to use the tripod food. They only have a few clay pots and some plates with simple fruits and vegetables, and the only meat they can eat is some pork.
Dried bacon, fish, and mutton are not allowed.
Jin Yao took a quick glance and understood the reason. Zhou Li had a strict and clear hierarchy, which affected all aspects and made the people at the bottom yearn for the top.
Shang Jun subdivided this level into specific levels and opened up the road to advancement, making the people of Qin yearn for higher levels and continue to work hard.
Jin Yao could clearly feel this from the eager eyes of the children and even the young adults looking at the mutton sauce meat in the three tripods and two guis on his belt.
In addition to meat, wine is also the most important food. The Qin State has stricter control over wine. The first-level scholar can drink wine brewed from part of the grain, while the head of Guizhou can only drink turbid wine brewed from berries. The amount that the first-level scholar can drink is also the same.
Quantitative.
"Fruit vinegar?" Jin Yao tried Qin Ren's wine and found that even the wine Bai Ke prepared for him rarely had the taste of grain, but more of fruits and vegetables.
"Qin's laws are strict about grain-based wine making. Even the amount of grain and wine we can drink every year is limited, but there is no limit to fruit-based wine making!" Bai Ke explained.
Jin Yao nodded, drinking alcohol is easy to get drunk without restraint, so Bai Ke was also afraid of breaking the law after drinking, so he simply gave them wine made from fruits and vegetables, so that they would not break the law even if they drank too much.
The dinner party was quickly dismissed, and all that was left was some nonsense. After the food was removed, melons and fruits were replaced.
"Sir, when you come from afar, you must have seen the customs of other countries. I wonder how the Qin dance of our Qin country compares with other countries?" Bai Ke clapped his hands confidently and looked at Jin Yao with a smile.
Following Bai Ke's clapping, a group of young men wearing strong clothes and holding swords and wooden shields walked into the square.
"Drink~" The swords hit the shields, and the young men shouted, dancing vigorously and powerfully, killing and mighty.
"Dongdongdong~" The drums started to sound, and a group of young men took over from the sword warriors, walking into the field holding long swords and halberds.
Jin Yao's eyes were solemn. He could see that whether it was sword dance or halberd dance, they were not actually dances, but martial arts, real battlefield killing skills.
"All people in Qin are like this, or is it just Bailong Town?" Jin Yao asked.
"All people in Qin are like this!" Bai Ke replied with a smile.
"As expected of the Tiger and Wolf Master!" Jin Yao nodded, understanding a little more about Qin's reputation as the Tiger and Wolf Master.
The young men in any small town can master these battlefield killing skills. So once the King of Qin issues a war edict, you can imagine how large an army the Qin State can instantly form with a certain amount of combat power.
"When the farming is busy, the young men cultivate the crops, and when the farming is slack, they go to the county government to learn military formations and martial arts!" Bai Ke explained the origin of these young war dances.
Jin Yao nodded slowly, no wonder the six countries were afraid of Qin.
After the young men retreated, girls in red clothes walked into the field one after another, dancing with their long sleeves, attracting cheers.
"On the occasion of Mr.'s arrival, these girls in red are also beautiful girls of the right age from various families. Every year, the town holds a meeting for young people, led by the government, and the men and women choose their own spouses." Bai Ke said with a smile.
Only then did Jin Yao understand why there was a formation dance of young and strong men in the front and Qin Wu of a girl in the back. It turned out that they were giving each other a choice.
When young girls dance, these young girls of the right age will secretly observe and look for the girl they like. When young girls dance, young girls will also look secretly for the woman they like.
"Have you ever been married, sir?" Bai Ke suddenly thought, and then looked at Jin Yao.
Following Bai Ke's cheerful figure, the girls in red also looked at Jin Yao, listening attentively.
The town is not big, and Jin Yao's identity and strength during afternoon work have long been spread. In their eyes, he is a standard wishful man. He must have good looks, strength, and knowledge.
Low.
"Never!" Jin Yao shook his head with a smile.
As soon as Jin Yao's words came out, the girls' eyes lit up, and their family members even whispered something in the girls' ears.
"Sir, do you have someone you like?" Bai Ke pointed his big finger at the girls and asked.
All the girls also raised their heads, looking at Jin Yao expectantly so that he could see more clearly.
The young men are a little nervous. They have more or less goals when they come here. If Jin Yao chooses the woman they like, it will be difficult for them to win.
"Ahem~" Jin Yao coughed dryly. Are all Qin people so direct? In order to keep him, are they just using a beauty trap?
"The days are long, don't rush, don't rush!" Jin Yao said hurriedly, but the girls were a little disappointed.
