A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The summer in Bianliang this year is so hot that even the most diligent workers refuse to come out to shout, which shows how powerful the sun is.

The window on the second floor of a wine shop facing the street was pushed open, and Su Shi's head popped out, shouting: "Zun Dao..."

The window on the second floor of the wine shop opposite was pushed open from the inside. Zhe Kexing shook his head at him and said, "No!"

Su Shi said tangledly: "Anbei's punching is too good... Come, help me win against him, and I will write a poem specifically for you later."

Boom!

The window opposite was closed, obviously Zhe Kexing didn't buy it.

"Write a song for someone, and I'll let you go today!"

Shen An proudly thought about Su Shi writing a poem for him. If it were passed down to future generations...

Someone gave it to Shen Anbei...

That brother's name will be immortal through the ages.

As a descendant, Shen An knows that there are only a few ways to leave a name in history: make great contributions, make immortal remarks, and be praised by others...

He almost achieved great feats, at least he will go down in history as a famous general.

In terms of immortality, some of his poems should be okay, but they cannot be compared with Su Shi.

If Su Shi wrote a poem specifically to praise himself, that would be awesome...

Su Shi closed the window in anger and said, "Zundao and his colleagues are drinking opposite, why don't you come over?"

Shen An drank a glass of wine and said, "Civil and martial arts have different paths."

Su Shi sighed: "This time in Yuanzhou, I saw the bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers, but the current situation is like this, nothing can be done."

The general environment is such that a few people cannot reverse the trend of despising warriors.

Shen An filled his glass with wine and said, "Someone here has an idea..."

Su Shi's eyes lit up, "Say it quickly!"

It was Yan Baoyu who saved him once when he was in Yuanzhou last time. When he killed the enemy later, there were still people standing by with bows and arrows to protect him. These were Shen An's arrangements.

Naturally, he and Shen An were not polite, but the situation of those soldiers made him a little dissatisfied.

Shen An said: "Many brothers were killed in this battle. There is some pension, but it is less. For some families...for example, there are many families with only children. What should I do? The family has lost its backbone and orphans. What should I do as a widowed mother?”

Su Shi sighed: "If you are poor, a woman will remarry, but even if you remarry with children, life will be difficult unless you have money..."

The dowry of a woman in the Song Dynasty belongs to herself, but her husband's property is somewhat troublesome. According to the rules, it should be inherited by the children, but the widow has management rights and can be handed over after the children grow up. Often when the children grow up, this situation cannot be reversed, so there are many situations where grandmothers and mothers are in charge of the house.

"After the husband dies, the son will be followed, which means family property and the right to deal with these things."

Shen An had always thought that women had to obey their sons after their husbands died. Only when they came to the Song Dynasty did they realize that they were wrong.

The so-called "following the son after the death of the husband" is because the son has the power to deal with property and major affairs, and it is they who come forward.

Shen An suddenly felt that he was very uneducated, but he said without any guilt: "I asked, one hundred and sixty-four people died in the war with their only son, and these one hundred and sixty-four families will face the situation of the seniors and juniors. It’s small, but the central pillar is missing.”

"so many?"

Su Shi asked: "Why does the only son want to engage in martial arts?"

"Those who are poor will have a stable life in the army."

The army of the Song Dynasty consumed more than half of its annual income, but it was more like a nursing home.

Shen An said slowly: "Someone thought of an idea... to raise donations!"

Su Shi was dissatisfied when he heard this: "Then it would be better to find a few wealthy businessmen to find some money to use, and that would be taboo!"

"Don't worry about violating taboos, I will solve it."

Shen An looked at him sideways and said: "We want the people of Bianliang to feel the hardship of the military. They are risking their lives to protect their homes and the country, but there are still people who call them thieves and join the army. Is this fair? It's not fair... Then... Donate money to help those more than 100 families escape poverty."

"Do you want to do it or not?"

Su Shi thought for a while, then picked up the wine bottle and poured some wine.

Boom!

The wine bottle slammed heavily on the table, and Su Shi shouted: "Someone did it!"

Shen An stood up and said, "It just so happens that you have nothing to do these days. Let's start when so-and-so comes out of the palace."

Then he entered the palace and asked to see Zhao Shu.

"Didn't he say something to cool down at home? How could he be willing to enter the palace?"

After the prisoner sacrifice, Shen An hid at home to escape the summer heat. It is said that he thought about delicious food every day and made his wife and sister at home smile.

Chen Zhongheng said: "Guan family, I guess Jingji is thinking about it?"

Zhao Shu put down the memorial and looked at him coldly, "You and Shen An have some friendship, but it's not a good word to be quiet and anxious. Is this a falling out?"

"I don't dare!"

Chen Zhongheng trembled and said seriously: "I am working for you and should not have any friendship with outsiders."

"go out!"

Zhao Shu picked up the memorial again, and Chen Zhongheng bowed out.

When we got outside, a chamberlain came over and whispered, "You know, how are the officials feeling?"

"Didn't you see someone come out?"

It's so hot outside, how comfortable is it inside?

There was ice wherever Zhao Shu stayed, and it was so cold that people just wanted to stay in there and not come out.

The waiter shrank his neck, hesitated, and went in anyway.

"roll!"

Later, Zhao Shu's scolding came from inside, and Chen Zhongheng raised his eyebrows without any surprise.

The official family has no good opinion of the people in the palace. This matter is just a grudge, and there is nothing to say.

"Old Chen..."

When Shen An arrived, he greeted him warmly from a distance.

Chen Zhongheng quickly pressed his hand to signal him to keep his voice down.

A certain person was about to say that he had no friendship with Shen An, but this guy actually called him "Lao Chen" affectionately. Didn't this betray a certain person?

"Let him in!"

There was more dissatisfaction in Zhao Shu's voice. Chen Zhongheng winked at Shen An who came over and said in a deep voice: "The official will let you in!"

Why does this feel like Hongmen Banquet?

Shen An looked around and felt that it didn't look like he was ambushing a swordsman, so he coughed dryly and went in.

After entering and saluting, Zhao Shu asked without raising his head, "Is there something wrong?"

This emperor was a bit meaner than Zhao Zhen and was difficult to deal with.

"Official family, I have been living happily at home these past few days. I am ashamed of my salary and salary. I can't sleep when I think about this. I have lost a lot of weight in the past few days..."

"Speak to the business, or get out!"

Zhao Shu seemed to be in a bad mood today, and most of his old problems were on the verge of breaking out.

Such an emperor cannot be offended!

Shen An said awkwardly: "I asked the Privy Council and they sorted it out. They said that among the soldiers who died in this battle, there were more than 100 only sons. I thought that the life of these more than 100 families would be difficult. …”

Zhao Shu finished reading the memorial in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Do you want to spend money?"

"I don't dare!"

Shen An was startled and quickly expressed his thoughts: "I'm thinking, would you, the official... say something, and then I'll ask someone to come forward to collect some money, and then give it to this person?" More than a hundred households.”

Zhao Shu's face softened slightly and he said, "What do you want me to say?"

"You only need to say... those soldiers are loyal and brave."

Shen An knew that this matter was taboo, so he came up with a plan.

"At that time, Su Shi will go to the streets and set up stalls, shouting, saying that you are thinking of those loyal and brave soldiers who died in the battle, and your family is lonely and helpless. In your heart... that... is uncomfortable. The Lord humiliates the minister and dies! As a minister, Su Shi naturally wants to share your worries..."

He raised his head slightly: "Look..."

Zhao Shu stared at him, and seeing his calm expression, he nodded and said, "Go ahead."

After Shen An left, Zhao Shu didn't want to do anything, so he went out to get some air.

Not far away, Shen An's footsteps looked a little excited. When he saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Young man is proud. One day he will know that he has learned well after a fall."

Chen Zhongheng smiled and said: "You hold these in your hands, how dare Shen An be so presumptuous."

Zhao Shu stood with his hands behind his back, and the coldness on his body gradually dissipated, "He did these things back then, just to make the reputation of warriors better, at least not to be called a traitor to the army. I know his thoughts, so Just let him do the tossing. Just do the tossing, that’s good!”

Chen Zhongheng did not dare to speak anymore. Later, after Zhao Shu entered, a chamberlain asked: "You all know how to deal with it, how can it be okay?"

This chamberlain was a person close to Chen Zhongheng, and he might have to rely on him for his retirement in the future, so Chen Zhongheng explained the meaning: "The more Shen An bothers, the more enemies he will have."

The servant suddenly realized: "If there are many enemies, this person will be reliable, and the officials will dare to use him."

"clever!"

Chen Zhongheng patted his shoulder and felt a little uncomfortable in his butt.

"Everyone knows that Shen An brought several jars of hot sauce with him when he entered the palace, saying it was the best for eating..."

Damn it!

Chen Zhongheng instantly felt that the hemorrhoids were starting to attack again. He swallowed and said, "Have they been inspected at the door? Put them away and put them in someone's cabinet. No one else is allowed to touch them. Someone will eat them tonight."

…

Early the next morning, there was an extra stall at the Zhouqiao Night Market.

Su Shi was dressed in casual clothes and was shouting at the top of his lungs.

"...The officials were heartbroken after hearing this. They couldn't sleep well all night long! They even shed tears after hearing this..."

"But what should we do? There is no precedent for this matter. If an exception is made, the court and the government will have to discuss it for a long time... They have been discussing for a long time and nothing happened, but there are more than a hundred households, those women and children are crying, and those old people are in despair ……what to do?"

Su Shi said excitedly: "They died in Yuanzhou to protect the Song Dynasty and to protect the world. Today we can enjoy peace in Bianliang because of them! But now they are gone, leaving orphans behind Widowed mothers and elderly people, can we just sit back and watch these people suffer?”

"cannot!"

In the crowd, Chen Luo shouted and then retreated.

"cannot!"

The Battle of Yuanzhou made the people of Bianliang proud, and the prisoner sacrifice was still fresh in their memory. So after hearing about this, the soft-hearted people shouted no, and some even asked: "What should we do? Is it possible to give money?" "

"sure!"

Su Shi pointed to a big wooden basin on the ground and said: "If you have money, please pay. Everyone's money... look at the man behind him. He is an official of the Third Division, who specializes in keeping accounts. All the money you donate will be recorded. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net No one dares to be greedy anymore.”

The people looked a little moved, and some people were touching their money bags.

"Isn't there a pension? Why are you here to raise money?"

"The money was given by an official or a third official. Who are you?"

A group of passing scholars were also watching, but they were a little dissatisfied and squeezed in from behind.

Su Shi gave up as soon as he heard this and raised his head and said: "A certain Su Shi!"

Want to fight? A certain person has killed the enemy on the battlefield.

"Su Shi? Isn't that a third-level talent in science and engineering?"

Su Shi nodded slightly, hiding his pride, but his left leg was shaking slightly.

"Judge Su, are you going to use force?"

These words are very offensive to Su Shi.
