1.6 Four rituals of drinking
Similar to the household registration system in later generations, many things nowadays need to be handled by returning to their original homes.
For example, issue a certificate of identity and sign a coupon. All must return to their original home.
And if you want to move to a household, the conditions are also very strict.
If you are a household registration, you must purchase another land and a house in the place of residence before you can settle down.
If you are a traveler, you need to open a business store in the city, pay taxes and rent in accordance with the law, so that you can obtain a city registration.
Of course, there is a simpler way to sell yourself as a slave and obtain slaves. This is obviously not the best way out.
Therefore, many northern county residents were mostly mediocre, either tenants or servants.
As the most important asset in the feudal era, the most important asset. The expensive land property was something that ordinary households and people were unable to pay.
In other words, it is difficult for the people of Beidi County who travel far away to avoid disaster and flee to other counties to obtain household registration. Although they live in other places, their hometowns are all from their original homes.
The case is compared with the timeline, and the Qimin who is not in his hometown makes another record. Therefore, the "living" Qimin who is still living in his hometown seems to be less than one ten.
Just move the county seat back to its original site, and write down the surrounding counties and counties. After the people learned about it, they would return to their hometowns one after another to regain the land and houses recorded on their household registration.
Although the city has long been destroyed.
Old houses need to be rebuilt, and fertile land needs to be rebuilt. But only appropriate encouragement and funding are needed. The people should be grateful and rebuilt their homes.
The political affairs of Beidi County are not required to be bothered by Liu Bei, the general.
Fu Xie meant that he wanted Liu Bei to submit a memorial as a general. He begged the court to move the Beidi County to the former site.
What's the difficulty?
Liu Bei then went to the chief clerk Jia Xu and asked him to draft a memorial on his behalf, and submitted it to the Shangshu. His mentor and others would handle it themselves.
Fu Xie was originally from Beidi County. His ancestral home is one of the only six cities in Beidi, Lingzhou County. He can do his best to serve his hometown and do his best. He can also feel much more at ease when he goes to Luoyang.
It is the unshirkable responsibility of Ming dysfunction.
Without further ado, Liu Bei wrote a handwritten letter and ordered the scouts in the army to expedite the 600-mile rush to send them back to Luoyang.
Fu Xie bowed and came out again.
Hurry up to meet with Chief Shi Gaixun and share the military and government affairs of the General's Mansion.
The General's Mansion of the Han Dynasty was a beginning of the business. There was a shortage of people. Gai Xun was also happy to be able to share the documents that had been accumulated for many days.
Needless to say, the two of them have the talents and character. They work together and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
After the settlement with Huya Camp, Liu Bei then set off. He bid farewell to Liu Tao, the mansion who was rushing to see him off, and his troops entered Luoyang.
In the capital of the empire, there are many cars and horses on the road, so it is not advisable to rush the march.
Ten days later, he arrived outside Luoyang City.
The heat of summer gradually faded. It was almost early autumn when it returned. Outside the sunset pavilion, people were crowded.
The Secretary of State and the Dachang Qiu Caojie, the Huangmen Order Zuo Feng, and the Zhongchang Sui Zhang Rang. The three close ministers around His Majesty went out to welcome him by the orders of the saint. This shows the honor and favor.
After glanced over, Liu Bei saw Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other friends in the crowd.
Then he stopped the team, turned over and dismounted. He went to the pavilion to gather with everyone.
There are four drinking rituals: worship, sacrifice, spit, and pride. First, worship, express your respect to the toast; then pour out some wine on the ground to pay tribute to the earth for its cultivation; then taste the taste of the wine and praise it; finally, look up and finish it.
The current low ear cup has a lot of capacity. Three cups are equal to two kilograms of wine in later generations.
So, we should not drink three cups in a row when we are in contact with air and dust. Please pay attention.
Only this one cup.
Liu Bei was a marquis, and all kinds of etiquette were naturally impeccable.
The three internal officials all had happy expressions on their faces.
Unlike the past when he was despised and looked down upon. General Liu Bei was a relative of the Han Dynasty. He was neither a party member nor a relative of the foreigner. He was called the Qilin of the Tian family when he was young. Now he is the most powerful minister.
All are obtained through merit, not by selling official positions and titles.
Respected by all parties.
It is naturally a great honor to be able to welcome him today. Even the many Han clan relatives and famous scholars in the team behind him have nothing to say, let alone criticize him.
The four rituals of worship, sacrifice, spat, rank, and drinking seem to be red tape, but the form is more than the meaning. In fact, it is not.
All four steps of drinking have great mystery.
If you worship first, you will salute. You will naturally not be able to save yourself. You will get up and hold the wine glass.
If you have poor alcohol tolerance or are not feeling well, you should not drink too much.
When you reach the second step, when you pay homage to heaven and earth, you can pour more wine in your glass on the ground.
The third step is to taste the wine. In addition to tasting the wine, you also need to identify whether there is a odor mixed in the wine to prevent poisoning. First spit a small mouthful, confirm that the wine is indeed in the cup, and then praise it.
The time of praise varies from person to person.
Taking advantage of this period of time, if it is indeed poisonous, it will be poisonous after being in the mouth for a period of time. Because I drink less, it may be helpful.
After praise, if it is not poisonous, it means that the wine is not poisonous. Only then can I raise my glass and drink it all in one go.
The ceremony followed.
Combine many practicalities perfectly into etiquette. This is the cleverness of our ancestors.
Just imagine. If there is no four eunuchs who drink wine, they will serve wine with a smile on their faces.
Should I drink it or not?
A full glass is served. What should I do if I can’t finish drinking?
Right.
These vivid historical details hidden behind the words. How can you know if you are not in this era?
After the three high-ranking officials offered wine, they tactfully retreated aside. Liu Beixin walked into the pavilion and met with friends.
Seeing that his mentor was also there, he hurriedly rested on the ground to deliver a great gift.
Everyone avoided the situation, even though Enshi couldn't help but be moved.
"Be a minister in front of others, and be a teacher in the back. General, please get up quickly."
"A teacher for one day and a father for life. How can you distinguish between the king and the king?" After his mentor stepped forward to support him, Liu Bei stood up.
It is said that the king and the lord are long-lasting people, and they will meet them today. It is indeed well-known.
After saying a few words, his mentor let him go. Liu Bei then went to gather with his friends.
"Thank you Mengde to give the country a name." Ji State came out of Cao Cao's mouth.
"What a small matter is there to worry about? Cao Cao is just a labor of raising hands and a beauty of becoming a human being." Seeing Liu Bei as his peers, Cao Cao was overjoyed.
Yuan Shao also smiled beside him: "If I were there, I would not have made Meng De so beautiful!"
"Haha..." The friends laughed.
"It is not advisable to say much here. Let's go to Hu Ji's Restaurant!" Yuan Shu glanced at the three high-ranking officials.
"Go together, go together." Everyone shouted.
Liu Bei delayed it, so he rushed to resign with the three high-ranking officials.
Cao Jie bowed and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please leave. I will go back to the palace to report to the emperor. Tomorrow morning, I will come to my house to discuss the ceremony of the king's title with you."
"I'm working hard, old man." Liu Bei saluted with a solemn look.
The three high-ranking officials also returned the gifts and watched Liu Bei leave happily.
"Lord." When he returned to the team, Jia Xu, the chief clerk who stayed in Luoyang, also came to pay his respects.
"Thank you for your hard work in Wenhe." Liu Bei hurriedly helped him up. When he met Shi Gaixun, the chief minister Fu Xie was all there. He hurriedly introduced him to the three of them.
Although Jia Xu was the chief clerk, he was the chief clerk of the General of the Supplementary Han Dynasty. Now Liu Bei has been promoted to the General of the Supplementary Han Dynasty. He established the shogunate in the Central and Western Regions. Jia Xu is naturally the best choice for the Chief of the General's Mansion.
It must be above the two.
The two of them saluted first.
Jia Xu also returned the gift.
Liuxiang is the chief clerk who is well-known and can be ranked alongside Li Ru, who is famous in the Western Regions. Why should Jia Xu say more about his talent?
Yuan Shu first led the Qu family to the camp of the Northern Army.
Jia Xu led everyone back to the general's mansion.
