Under the auspices of Zhao Yu, an informal court meeting was held in the palace. The reason why it is called informal is not to say that everyone sits together and chats, but the form is more casual, considering that it is the height of summer, and the weather is hot, and it feels hot even bare-chested. And the main hall of the palace is also a newly built place, relatively simple, limited conditions, and no air conditioning, wearing court clothes to hold a meeting will lie down to a piece. Therefore, Zhao Yu's grace, everyone can wear regular clothes to the temple to discuss matters.

Of course, Zhao Yu will not go to the palace in a crown, but wears a white stunka, wears a small white jade crown to tie up his long hair, combs it with a hosta, and his feet are sandals woven with hemp rope, which looks very cool. And most of His Royal Highness's civil and military affairs in the north and south are also like this, wearing cool shirts and stepping on bast shoes, the difference is only that the Wenchen wears a Dongpo scarf on his head, and the Wuchen wears a small crown.

However, in the past, whether it was to and from work, officials had to wear purple shirts. After the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the capital Lin'an was built, and a group of northerners suddenly arrived, and they couldn't stand the heat. Because the form of the cool shirt is almost the same as the purple shirt, just plain, and the wear is also cool, the scholars and doctors took this as a casual clothes, and in the last years of Shaoxing, Gaozong even issued an edict to use Zhu Xiyan, stop the purple shirt, and look at things with the cool shirt, which means that when the court meeting and major ceremonies are held, the officials can also wear the cool shirt to work.

Originally, this was a good thing, and everyone was comfortable to wear, which was understandable, but there were people who had a lot of trouble. In the early years of the main road, Wang Cao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said: I have seen that the scholars and doctors have been wearing cool shirts recently, which is not very beautiful. And with communication, living officials, and neighboring people, being vegan is hateful, and it seems to be a murderer...... At the request of its recital, the court ordered the officials to obey except for the horses and roads, and the rest were not allowed to be served, and since then the cool shirt was only used for the murderous clothing, and the purple shirt became popular again.

However, with the invasion of Meng Yuan, the imperial court settled in Qiongzhou, which was hotter and did not have the same in winter and summer. Zhao Yu didn't know so many rules when he first arrived, but he knew that light-colored clothes were cooler than dark-colored ones, so he wore a cool shirt regardless of it. And everyone is not stupid, everyone knows the heat, but they don't say anything when they see it when they know it's in violation, so the cool shirt is popular again.

And Meng Yuan also occupied Jiangnan at this time, where did these guys from the prairie know these rules, how they want to wear them, and they will not set rules specifically for this, so the Jiangnan scholars also put on cool shirts again. Therefore, after the imperial court returned to Jiangnan, this kind of dress did not cause any opposition, and the officials who had been offended did not mention the old things, so they retained it as civilian clothes.

Of course, Zhao Yu can't change everything, such as the hat on his head. In addition to the daily needs of shading and keeping warm, the role of hats in modern times is that only certain groups of people will often wear hats, and there is no restriction on others. But in this era, it is absolutely not possible, in ancient times, when a man became a child, he would hold a crown ceremony, and the main content of this ceremony was that his father or the elders of the clan put a hat on him. It means that the man has become an adult and can take on the responsibilities of the family, clan and the state.

In addition, the ancients called the hat ornament "head coat", "yuan suit" and "first suit", which can also see the importance that people attach to the hat ornament, but it is not just to wear it, on what occasion what hat is worn, by the state in the form of almost the law, once violated, the consequences are unpredictable, the light will be reprimanded, the focus is on dismissal, and then the focus is to be charged with contempt of the court, it will be even more terrifying.

Therefore, there is a distinction between the crown and the hat, and the poor and lowly people are not allowed to wear the crown, so they must also wrap their heads in a black scarf, and the common people are replaced by "Qianshou". The "green hat" theory also originated from this time, Mongolia is no prostitution/prostitute, after entering the Central Plains, found that there are still brothels, feel too backward, so it is stipulated that the women who have lost their feet wear purple shirts, and the men who work here wear green headscarves to show the difference. Therefore, if a person in ancient times made up his mind not to wear a hat on any occasion, it meant that he would be isolated from society.

Zhao Hao doesn't like to wear hats, especially in summer, because as a modern person, most people know that the heat dissipation of the human body is through the head; In addition, 'wearing a hat' is also a derogatory meaning in modern times, and it is too troublesome, after coming to this world for so many years, he himself cannot successfully put on the small crown on his head, and still needs the help of others. So after research, he thought that the reason why ancient people regarded wearing hats as a big thing was actually for hair, because hair was of great significance to the ancients.

First of all, there is a text in the "Book of Filial Piety": "The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also." "It is believed that if the hair and other physical things are given by the parents, if the head is shaved, it is considered unfilial. In addition to shaving the fetal hair once at birth, Chinese children have almost never cut their hair for the rest of their lives for a long period of time. Even though Zhao wanted to promote short hair in the army to maintain personal hygiene, prevent long lice from spreading diseases, and facilitate the treatment of injuries in wartime, it was impossible to oppose them from top to bottom, so that hats were designed to be high to facilitate the placement of long hair in them.

In addition, everyone has heard the story of Cao Cao's 'cutting his hair as the head', which illustrates his cunning, which is actually really possible in ancient times, because hair is still considered to be a very important part in this era and cannot be damaged at will, otherwise it will really fight with you. In addition, if a woman in ancient times had a sweetheart, she would give her hair to her beloved to represent that she wanted to "tie her hair together", which means to give a part of her body to her sweetheart to express her infinite love, and hair is naturally the most suitable.

But Zhao Hao thinks that all this is not unchangeable, in fact, whether it can be changed depends on people. The popularity of 'Liu's crown' is an example, the crown before the Han Dynasty was either gold or leather or cloth, while Liu Bang made bamboo skin crowns, in today's words, Liu Bang used standard innovative thinking. And this hat has experienced the world from ridicule to recognition, from recognition to appreciation, from appreciation to emulation, from imitation to popularity until it has become a classic that cannot be profited or lost, so that the bamboo crown is also known as "Liu's crown" and has been aborted so far.

Of course, Zhao Yu is also quietly changing the Great Song Dynasty, not only because he changed the outcome of the Song Dynasty in history and created more advanced ships and weapons, but also imperceptibly influenced people's cognition and habits in other aspects, breaking the traditions of the past. For example, in this court meeting, he not only allowed the ministers to go to the palace to discuss matters regularly, but also prepared seats for everyone, and served herbal tea and sour plum soup to relieve the heat, which was completely unacceptable and unimaginable in the past unless for banquets and private meetings......

After the meeting began, Wang Yinglin first briefed the officials on the situation in China. It shows that the current financial pressure on the imperial court is extremely great, because after the recovery of Jiangnan, in order to appease the people, many areas have reduced taxes, so that the military rations required for the Northern Expedition need to be purchased from the private sector with a large amount of silver money in addition to the official fields, and then transported to the front line, which costs a lot of money, and the imperial court has been overwhelmed.

In addition, although the Northern Expedition recovered a large area of land in Lianghuai and Jingxiang, because the war began after the autumn of last year and lasted until this summer, the newly harvested areas were affected by the war and delayed the agricultural time, resulting in a reduction in grain production in many areas, or even a failure of the harvest, and the imperial court also needed to allocate money and grain for relief. In addition, many prefectures and counties were destroyed by the war and urgently needed to be rebuilt, water conservancy facilities were repaired, and people needed to be recruited to form a state army, etc., all of which required follow-up capital investment from the imperial court.

For the Northern Expedition, hundreds of thousands of troops were mobilized, and almost equal numbers of men were mobilized to transport supplies and build moats for the army. And these people are all young and strong, and they are the main force in farming and farming. At present, most areas in the south of the Yangtze River have entered the summer harvest, and the second crop of rice will be sown later, so it is necessary to return the people to their homes, otherwise the agricultural season will be delayed, and the grain output this autumn will be affected, resulting in a grain shortage.

Therefore, Wang Yinglin stressed that the task of restoring the state capitals at present is not only to stabilize people's minds as soon as possible, but also to quickly complete the task of checking the population and allocating land before the arrival of the agricultural season, so as to be able to sow seeds and recover them in the autumn and reduce their dependence on the imperial court. At the same time, the surplus grain produced could be supplied to the army stationed in Lianghuai, reducing the consumption of long-distance transportation and alleviating the difficulties of the imperial court.

Then Wang Yinglin introduced the situation in the imperial court, because the war has lasted for nearly a year, the military expenditure is huge, so that some officials began to question whether to continue the Northern Expedition, and asked the imperial court to stop using troops as soon as possible and cultivate the people's strength with virtue. Moreover, there were rumors among the people, thinking that the Northern Expedition was a move of reckless military force, laboring the people and losing money, not to mention increasing the burden on the people. The war also caused a large number of casualties among the people, which separated families and wives, causing countless tragedies.

The attack of the government and the opposition put the emperor and the courtiers who supported the Northern Expedition under pressure, so Wang Yinglin once again demanded that local officials strictly implement the established policies, not act arbitrarily, and learn the lessons of the Haozhou incident, because the momentary mood caused a popular uprising, resulting in a large number of people fleeing and being killed and injured. In this way, the reputation of the imperial court was damaged, and the personal future was ruined.

At first, the officials and generals also thought that Wang Yinglin's words were true, and they also heard from them that the imperial court had the intention of ending the Northern Expedition because of the huge financial pressure, and it also confirmed the rumors from the side that His Majesty wanted to stop the army in Yingtianfu. Although everyone was disappointed by this, they also understood the plight of the court and the emperor, but in the end, the little emperor had not yet spoken and made a decision, so he was still able to remain calm.

But when Wang Yinglin talked about the Haozhou incident, the subordinates began to whisper to each other, and then the voices became louder and louder, and then complained that the imperial court was too strict with low-level officials, which made it difficult to carry out the work. In the end, he began to cry out for Zhang Song, thinking that the imperial court's treatment of him was too hasty and should not be so harsh. The scene became chaotic for a while, and finally someone got up and asked the court to re-investigate the case and deal with it separately......
