No shortage of walls

The emperor added an additional issue of the newspaper to the October issue and announced it in the name of the imperial edict.

First, the food and leaves of vegetables in the Song Dynasty were sweet and might be eaten by insects! People in the Song Dynasty are not allowed to catch field frogs. Two or more field frogs can be caught for food, but small ones cannot be caught. Violators will be punished with five strokes of the stick if there are more than five, and ten strokes with the stick if there are more than ten. If there are more than two, they will be beaten. Until thirty. But those who break the law again will be fined for smuggling and punished as labor prisoners, but they are not allowed to kill.

Secondly, many birds in the Song Dynasty also eat insects. Wild birds and pigeons are not allowed to be caught and eaten. Violators are the same as above. However, flying eagles and other dangerous birds can be eaten.

Thirdly, wild beasts in the forest are edible, but the person who catches them is responsible for any damage caused.

Fourth, young slaves were encouraged to join the army. Those who killed an enemy or saved a comrade would be freed from slavery. If you kill two enemies or save two comrades, your descendants will be freed from slavery. If you kill three or more enemies, your military merits will be the same as ordinary people. You can be promoted to the second rank military commander based on your merits. However, the slavery status of those who are guilty of treason and serial execution will not be included. this column.

Fifth, if an old man from the Song Dynasty, his son died in battle. If there is no one to support him, the court will support him from the ninth rank until his death, and then bury him in the ninth rank.

Fifth, for the childless old people in the Song Dynasty, or whose children are not ordinary people who died in the war, and are over sixty years old, the court will distribute thirty kilograms of grain or the equivalent of silver every month to support them until they die of old age, and a thin coffin. , according to the etiquette of marriage, he will be buried in peace, and his property will be returned to the court after his death.

Sixth, the dead do not occupy the land where they were born. For the sake of the livelihood of future generations of the Song Dynasty, no one should be buried in fields after a hundred years. They should be buried in mountains and forests as much as possible, leaving land for future generations to eat.

Seventh, after seven years of orthodoxy, the civil and military talents of the Song Dynasty will be recruited for a competition. All legal persons and slaves can participate. Among the ten young and strong slaves, they can kill an enemy on the battlefield or save a comrade and forever be freed from slavery and their descendants. This does not apply to those who have nationality, prostitutes, traitors and descendants of Zhulian.

Eighth, encourage the rich among the people to do more good deeds, such as supporting orphans and widows, or building bridges and roads. Even if you don’t care too much, even a single penny will be a meritorious deed.

Ninth, officials who are corrupt and bend the law will be severely punished regardless of their political or military rank.

Tenth, encourage people to read more and learn martial arts in their spare time, so as to serve the court.

11. Prisoners who will commit capital crimes in the future. Must be reviewed again and again. It's easy to kill but hard to turn back. With one blow, there is no way back, but for a capital crime that has been confirmed by repeated review of evidence, food cannot feed the dead. After reporting to the Ministry of Punishment for a reply, he will be executed. There is no need to wait for the summer solstice or autumn solstice.

This report was issued together with the imperial edict, and the people of the Song Dynasty all worshiped the imperial edict, and all the officers and soldiers were moved. In the past, when soldiers died in battle, they would receive pensions, but they did not reach the level of support from the ninth rank. And if you keep it, you won’t be able to keep it in a few years. Now that the emperor even supports childless elderly people who have no military exploits, there will definitely be no problem for those who have military exploits.

Regarding the matter of civilian slavery, Song Xing considered firstly the military soldiers; secondly, the previous dynasties were controlled by aristocratic families. In recent years, through anti-corruption, the new emperor came to the throne with various excuses, just to Weaken the strength of aristocratic families everywhere and give up their fields to the common people.

Since ancient times, major aristocratic families have controlled the politics and people's livelihood of the court. Even if the dynasty changes, the aristocratic families will still be aristocratic families. A lot has been said on TV in previous lives. In order for the court of Song Dynasty not to be influenced. Song Xing started to take action little by little in the second year of Zhengtong, thanks to the die-hard loyalty of the Ministry of National Security. Whenever illegal or criminal matters are discovered, they will be sorted out bit by bit and dealt with step by step. Song Xing knew that if a large number of people were to attack all at once, the country would not be able to bear it.

Only true crimes can be dealt with. Under the guise of cleaning up the government and the public, we investigate crimes. That aristocratic family has nothing?

Song Xing arranged it well, and there have been no problems so far. At this moment, he was using the excuse that a high-ranking member of the court had embezzled the treasury and investigated the officials; but by the way, he was also conducting a detailed investigation of the major families that had not yet been found.

The Hu finally replied and offered to exchange 500 beauties for 500 sergeants.

Those prisoners of war thought they didn't need money. One said:"I want the two-foot-long prawns from Qi."

The other said:"Can Qi catch a two-hundred-jin big fish? Get one and try it."

"I heard your sweet potatoes are delicious. I’ll give it a try by lifting 500 pounds. Why is there no soap in the shower?"

"My clothes are old, are there any new clothes?"

As long as Ye Zhisheng can do it, he will do anything except women. When the Hu people are full and drunk, they start to write letters home, telling their families how well they eat and how much weight they have gained.

Ye Zhisheng had people read every letter, and sent all the ones that could be sent back to the Hu people's court. Those that couldn't be sent were burned directly. He also read the Hu people's replies, and still gave them what should be given, and burned what shouldn't be given. The

Hu people are complaining a lot. This way of eating is very expensive. However, a letter from the soldiers came back, confirming that the Song Dynasty treated him like a distinguished guest. I think he wrote a letter about asking for money for dinner. The southerners must have intercepted it. Ertou I don’t know.

This is not the way for five hundred people to eat like this.

Song Xing was furious. He said:"The women of my Song Dynasty are as beautiful as flowers. What do I want with his five hundred women? Tell the barbarians that if you want to exchange women, you can exchange them with five hundred royal women. I will betroth them to young slaves as wives. I will pass on my imperial decree and the whole army will move north to prepare for war."

As soon as the secret decree came out, the whole army prepared for war, knowing that the emperor's request for five hundred royal women to marry slaves was an insult to the Hu people. In order to prevent war, we must be prepared first. Unexpectedly, the emperor came up with such a move to insult the Hu people. General The soldiers were gearing up and preparing to kill the barbarians.

Would our wise and mighty emperor want ugly women like the barbarians?

Song Xing had finished all the female officials, but there were not even a hundred of them. He felt that his kidneys were weak, I have been restrained recently, but I still give away women? My harem is not over yet.

But I feel sorry for the people in front of me, and I always advise myself to take care of the people in front of me.

The Hu people were shocked when they heard that the Song army moved north. , had to send people to discuss again.

Ye Zhisheng finally reached an agreement with the Hu people, and sent people to personally pick up 30,000 horses from the Hu people, and ordered Pingshan Pass to hand over them. After the 30,000 horses returned to the pass, he raised them like pigs. The sergeant returned it.
