Most of the content in the next few pages is a description of the temples of Nara and the customs of Japanese society, Sidi read it very slowly, and it was intermittent, Hong Tao simply took it to see it himself, and when he saw something interesting, he would discuss it with Sidi.

If you don't want to hear it, you can't do it, Hong Tao said that this is called the fusion of spirit and flesh. Daytime prostitution must also be full of knowledge, and work and life are not wrong. After reading the letter, there was an exam to ask Sidi to tell what Japanese aristocratic women were wearing.

"They...... It's useless for them to wear anything, I saw it in the front yard, all of them are thin and short, even if they don't wear anything, the officials won't take a second look! Sidi is almost at the limit, and he still refuses to admit defeat, gritting his teeth and mouthing.

"You might as well wait for this king to make a set of twelve orders for you to wear according to the letter, and see that you are still hard-mouthed!"

After reading the letter, Wang Xiong's writing was good, and he wrote about the same, describing some things vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. As soon as he thought of what was said in the letter, Hong Tao couldn't help but think of the Japanese action movies in the later generations, and then the attack on Sidi became even more violent.

I don't know how many otaku in later generations want to travel back to ancient Japan, especially those who like to read Japanese manga. Many manga set in ancient Japan depict the time as delicate and elegant. But after reading Wang Hao's letter, even if Hong Tao didn't witness it with his own eyes, he could still know a little bit about the leopard.

Wang Hao had a relationship with the largest temple in Japan and was admitted to Zhaoti Temple as a VIP, while Jiang Erlang couldn't trust these Japanese monks, so he simply took the new army to garrison the dock and watch the ships and goods.

Wang Xiong and Wang Bin also went with their uncle, and then they saw a lot of scenes that made them jaw-dropping.

First of all, the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and it is only a few dozen miles from Owatabo to Nara, and there are no less than ten small villages along the way. According to Wang Xiong's description, the houses of local Japanese farmers resemble the shacks built by the victims after the Yellow River bursts, and the villagers are simply the victims of the disaster, and there are not too many iron tools in the farm tools, and there are also wooden hoes.

But when I arrived in Nara, it immediately changed, and there were stone roads, and the temples covered a huge area, the buildings were majestic, and gold and silver decorations could be seen everywhere.

Then there is the weird costume, the Japanese monks are quite normal, but the Japanese officials and rich people who rushed to hear the news are very abnormal. The more formal the costume, the more spacious and complex it became, with several layers inside and out, and the bulging was like a teapot.

It is said that this kind of clothing is equivalent to the court clothes worn by officials of the Song Dynasty when they go to the court meeting, which belongs to the highest etiquette, and they are usually reluctant to wear it except to see the emperor.

Wang Xiong has a very Hongtao demeanor and likes to say strange things. He thought that this was the evil taste of the Japanese emperor, and in order to save the servants of the harem, the officials were dressed like this, and after the officials walked around the palace, all the places they passed were cleaned.

Even more powerful are the Japanese women, since the men have put on the emperor's court clothes, they must also dress up and travel. Wang Xiong was afraid that his adoptive father would not be able to understand it by relying on words, so he specially hand-painted a picture of a Japanese noblewoman dressed up, called Twelve Singles.

In fact, you don't need to look at Tu Hongtao to know what twelve orders are, he has seen this kind of clothing in Japan in later generations. It is to wear twelve embroidered robes layer by layer, the color and pattern are not the same, and a high hat is worn on the head, and the face is covered by a tulle silk hanging around.

Twelve single robes, even if stacked with the thin fabric worn in the summer of later generations, are about the same thickness as down jackets, but the problem is that the cloth that can be embroidered in ancient times is usually very thick.

How much does a set of 12 slips weigh? Hong Tao remembered that there were kilograms in later generations, but Wang Xiong said that there were more than 30 kilograms! It is estimated that there is a gap in weaving technology.

What is the concept of more than 30 catties, the full set of armor of the hoplites of the Northern Song Dynasty weighed more than 46 catties, and the half-body armor of the soldiers of the New Army was only more than 18 catties together.

In other words, the costumes worn by the Japanese ladies were much heavier than the armor of the New Army soldiers, and were similar to the heavily armed New Army soldiers with bows and crossbows and personal provisions.

"How about this king make an infantry phalanx of Japanese noblewomen? With such a strong weight-bearing capacity, wouldn't it be invulnerable with a little training? ”

Looking at the character sketches painted by Wang Xiong, Hong Tao felt that the Japanese emperor was playing a big game of chess, and all the people were afraid that the soldiers were born from Japan, and it was also the first to integrate military training into daily life.

Dare to ask if it's okay to wear dozens of pounds of clothes and stand for a few hours isn't it military training, these Japanese women with colorful appearances and graceful and luxurious appearances can't keep their muscles under the heavy twelve orders, and they won't feel bulky at all after putting on the whole body plate armor.

“…… Slaves don't wear it when they die, is it cold in Japan? It's better to sell the down jacket of the official, and the sales will definitely be good. ”

Sidi had no strength to discharge, squinted his eyes on the man's shoulder and glanced at the painting a few times, and immediately turned his head to the other side. With her experience, she really couldn't understand why she had to wear twelve layers of satin clothes.

"You should really go to Japan to live for a few years, and you must be a lot slimmer!"

If the weird clothes are just a novelty, then the Japanese eating habits can make Wang Xiong suffer a lot, and his dissatisfaction is overflowing, and he has already written dirty words on the letter.

Wang Hao and the others arrived at Zhaoti Temple just after noon, and they came in a hurry and missed the meal, so they used canned food to make up for it. According to the habits of the Chinese, when a distinguished guest comes to the house, he can also put on a feast, eat and drink.

There was indeed a banquet in the evening, and it is said that there was also a Japanese prince, who was the younger brother of the emperor. But as soon as the meal came up, Wang Hao, Wang Xiong, and Wang Bin were dumbfounded.

The tableware is all exquisite lacquerware, which can be regarded as high-end in the Great Song Dynasty, and the meal system of one per person is not unfamiliar, but the dishes are too few and too shabby, so you can't take the plates and bowls as rice to eat.

Four dishes and one soup, plus two sticky cake dumplings and a bowl of rice, are all there is to the feast. The four dishes consist of a dried salted fish, a plate of radish with sauce, a plate of salted natto and a few dried plums.

The bowl of soup was even more miserable, Wang Xiong said that it was 100% the water used to wash the sauce and radishes, and then threw in a few radish tassels, and the small landlords in the mountainous areas of Fujian ate better than this.

But it was inconvenient to ask on the spot, and he couldn't take out the canned food brought on the boat, especially when he saw that the prince was eating very fragrantly, so he could only eat it with him. Not to mention, the rice is quite fragrant, and it is more oily than the rice in Jiangnan.

After the meal, it was tea and chat time, Wang Xiong was too lazy to talk nonsense, he didn't eat enough to drink a stomach of tea, and he didn't scrape the oil, so he sneaked out to find some canned food and then make up for it.

But before he went, he had a long heart, and first found the monk he met at the dock and asked, for fear that people's temples would be vegetarian, so he rashly came back with canned meat and made a taboo.

The result made him have mixed joys and sorrows, happy that Japanese temples are not taboo meat, and worried that Japanese rich and noble families are vegetarians, and whoever eats meat is poor, or the kind of poor people who are very shameless, especially faceless.

The reason for this strange custom is that in addition to the Japanese enshrinement of Buddhism, it also has a lot to do with their emperor. No, it's not the Emperor, it's the Emperor, and they call it the Emperor or the Emperor.

At this time, it was the Heiankyo Dynasty in Japan, and the capital was in Heiankyo, not far from Nara, and Hong Tao felt that it was likely to be the Kyoto City of Japan in the later generations, and the location was about the same.

The current emperor is called Emperor Horikawa, a little over ten years old, who has just been on the throne for three years. Therefore, it is the emperor's father, Emperor Shirakawa, who really holds great power, and the empress dowager in China listens to the government, and Japan has the imperial court to control the power, except that it is a woman and a man.

Why did the Emperor Baihe abdicate and become a monk and then he was reluctant to give up on power, and even robbed his son's rights, Wang Xiong is not clear. These things were not inquired about by him, but obtained by Jiang Erlang from the prisoners in the cabin by various shady means, which was not very systematic.

Emperor Shirakawa is said to have been a particularly strong believer in Buddhism, believing in Buddhism to the point of madness, and not only took the lead in becoming a vegetarian, but also ordered monks and nobles to be vegetarian, and even ordered the whole country to be vegetarian.

However, this ban is only implemented more effectively in a few big cities, and when it comes to the countryside and countryside, especially on the seaside, no one cares about it, people are dying of hunger, who cares if it is meat or not, it is good to be able to eat it, you can't farm the land while guarding the sea, what do you eat if you don't eat fish?
