Chapter 133 Eight Thousand Adopted Sons
An Lushan wanted Zhen Qian's method of winemaking, firstly, to collect money, and secondly, because the burning knife can indeed play a role in keeping out the cold, and with the burning knife, he also bought the loyalty of the soldiers, although he did not grab the method of brewing, the current result is already good, and he naturally does not want to conflict with Li Huang.
Li Huang immediately said unhappily: "Zhen Lang, no matter how much wine this king sells, this king's share cannot be missing!" ”
Zhen Qian secretly gave a thumbs up, Li Huang really reciprocated the peach, much stronger than An Lushan, the white-eyed wolf, and he couldn't wait to kiss Li Huang.
"Please rest assured, the grass people are preparing to open a drunken immortal building in the capital, and then there will be a small shop for wine in the palace?"
"Good! However, this king also has some industries in the capital, and there happens to be a restaurant in the East Market, because of poor management and wants to change hands, I wonder if Zhen Lang is interested? ”
Chang'an is every inch of land, the West Market is full of goods and the most prosperous, the East City Quartet is full of curiosities, most of them are high-class luxury goods, and it is impossible to buy a restaurant in the East City without tens of thousands of runs.
Of course Zhen Qian will not buy the Chang'an Restaurant that is about to collapse now, the land price of Chang'an has plummeted due to the war, isn't this a pallet? Renting a poorly run restaurant is not a good idea. No matter how high the rent is, there is no high house price, Zhen Qian has always adhered to this concept, which not only occupies a small amount of capital, but also can expand rapidly, Li Huang naturally has no problem if he wants to join.
"Thank you Lord Wang, the grass people can't ask for it!"
The Tang Dynasty regarded businessmen as "cheap", and regarded industry and commerce as unprofitable, and strictly prohibited hundreds of officials from entering the market, but there were policies and countermeasures, and they couldn't do it themselves, so they let their relatives and clansmen do it, or buy shares, or secretly support the means of renovation, no one would be afraid of money, not to mention Li Huang, who was in name only, and would naturally not be impeached by the imperial history for doing business.
Soon the two hit it off, and a cooperation matter of tens of thousands of dollars was finalized, and they did not shy away from An Lushan, who was greedy on the side.
An Lushan got up and said goodbye, "Ben Shuai is leaving Luquan County tomorrow, is the prince walking with Ben Shuai?" ”
Li Huang shook his head and excused himself: "The little girl's condition is thanks to Zhen Lang's treatment, and now it is not stable and it is not easy to bump on the road, and I have to observe here for a few more days, so I won't walk with An Shuai!" ”
An Lushan's face shook a few times, "Okay! Ben Shuai will say goodbye, and he will not resign with the prince tomorrow! See you in the capital on the first day! ”
Zhen Qian and Li Huang sent An Lushan and the others out of the door, kicking three thousand pieces of flying money in their arms, and finally sent the plague god away.
Returning to the tent and sitting down, Li Huang looked at Zhen Qian and sighed and said, "Zhen Lang, you are reckless today!" ”
"But for the sake of winemaking?"
Since Li Huang is close to him, of course Zhen Qian can't pretend to be confused.
"Since you already know it, and you will pull this king up, do you know that An Lushan is a person?"
Zhen Qian really doesn't know An Lushan's personality and temperament, most of the history has been whitewashed and tampered with in later generations, Li Shimin directly checked the living record, and Zhu Di simply changed the era of Emperor Jianwen. I really can't guess whether An Lushan's taking of the pill was intentional by Tang Xuanzong, or whether An Lushan's physical problems could not be detoxified, I'm afraid only Tang Xuanzong himself knew it in his heart.
Seeing Zhen Qian shaking his head, Li Huang showed a wry smile: "You are too bold, everyone in the court and the central government says that An Lushan has bad intentions and great ambitions, and his subordinates have even raised 8,000 adopted sons in captivity, and he also uses Hu people as generals around him, can you afford to provoke such a person?" ”
In the Tang Dynasty, it became common to adopt a son, and the adopted son was called a fake son, of course, not his own son.
There are three main kinds of adopted sons in the Tang Dynasty, the first is the real adopted son, although there is no blood relationship but there is a father-son relationship, and the number of adoptions is not much, some are still because they have no sons, the ancients are more superstitious, thinking that the first adoption of a true adopted son, will bring their own son, this kind of adopted son not only changed from the name, was entrusted with important tasks, but also enjoyed the right of inheritance.
There are many such adopted sons in history, such as Wang Chongrong's fake son Wang Ke as the marching Sima, Wang Chongrong died, and Wang Ke knew the future affairs of the three armies. Zhu Wen's fake son Zhu Youwen won Zhu Wen's favor and was named King Bo, sentenced to Jianchang Palace Envoy, and was designated as the crown prince. What is more famous is that there were three emperors in the Five Dynasties, Liu Jisi, the abolished emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, and Liu Jiyuan, the Yingwu Emperor, were both adopted sons of Ruizong Liu Chengjun, and later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was Guo Wei's adopted son.
The second is nominally adopted son, in fact, as their own personal guards, the number of such adopted sons is very large, can be as many as thousands, all of them are brave people or people who give advice, also known as "righteous children", An Lushan raised Tongluo, and descended Xi, Khitan dragged more than 8,000 people into the river as false sons. In fact, this is a tradition that simulates the pro-soldier system of minority tribes, so there is no inheritance right, and the name will not be changed.
The third type is between the above two, and the number is also in between, and the relationship is more ambiguous, depending on the adopter's mentality.
The reason why the adopted son system was so prevalent from the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties has certain historical roots and social conditions.
The first popular system of raising sons was mostly related to the Hu people, and it was most popular in the Heshuo area, where the Hu and Han lived together. At that time, the social and historical development process of the ethnic minorities in the north lagged far behind the Han nationality in the Central Plains, and they were in the late stage of the primitive tribal system, and they were still living a backward nomadic life. Judging from the customs of "father and brother die and brother and brother and wife and their group mother and sister-in-law", "Fan people first mother and then father", "cheap old and noble", etc., their marriage and family are roughly in the transition stage from a dual family to a monogamous family. Therefore, the status of motherhood is relatively lofty, and there are no strict feudal ethics and morals such as "father and son", "elder and young", and "husband and wife". Moreover, at that time, the foreign wars of the tribe were extremely frequent and cruel, and the mortality rate of tribal members, especially male members, was very high and mobile. These social conditions and cultural psychology have made them accustomed to taking in foreigners or captives as adopted sons, so as to expand the power of their clans and tribes. In the same way, they are accustomed to acting as adopted sons of others.
With a large number of conquests and wars in the Tang Dynasty, a large number of ethnic minorities belonged to and settled in the Central Plains, and this system was spread in Middle Earth.
Why did the system of adopted sons of the five generations of the Tang Dynasty gradually prevail and intensified.
The fundamental reason for this is directly related to the transformation of the military system from compulsory soldiers to conscription to private soldiers in the Tang Dynasty and the long-term continuation of the situation of feudal towns. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the government soldier system was implemented, which was a kind of compulsory military system, which was based on the uniform land system, and the peasants who were transferred to serve as government soldiers brought their own weapons to provide supplies, and they were guarded by more people, so that the generals were not allowed to specialize in the army. After Gaozong and Empress Wu, with the gradual destruction of the Juntian system and the contradictions of the government military system itself, the government military system tended to collapse. As a result, the conscription system, which had been implemented in small quantities in the early Tang Dynasty, gradually prevailed, and in the Kaiyuan period of Xuanzong, conscription became customized. After the conscription system was introduced, soldiers became a specialized profession, and generals were also able to specialize in soldiers, thus creating conditions for the prevalence of the adopted son system. During the period of Ruizong and Xuanzong, in order to deal with the increasingly complicated situation of relations between border areas and ethnic minorities, a system of festival envoys was set up in important border towns. During the reign of Xuanzong Tianbao, those lonely and cold generals who had no party were often promoted to the position of festival envoys. After the Hu soldiers grasped the military and political power, it was naturally very easy to influence the local customs, which caused the area to be contaminated with the Hu style, and the Hu people's adopted son habit and the tribal pro-soldier system gradually prevailed.
Anshi was in turmoil, and those who had both the Central Plains and the army were awarded the title of festival envoy. After the Anshi Rebellion subsided, the central Tang government gradually lost its ability to effectively control the local army, and then evolved into a situation of separating feudal towns. The warlords of the feudal towns relied on their political and economic power to recruit troops and dominate the party. The private soldier system in the feudal towns is the basis for the adoption of the son system. In order to support their cronies and cultivate their henchmen, the generals of the feudal towns imitated the custom of adopting adopted sons by the Heshuo soldiers, and artificially fabricated a large number of kinship relationships in the army, resulting in the strong generals of the late Tang Dynasty all raising adopted sons in captivity.
On the other hand, after the Anshi Rebellion, Hebei was still occupied by the remnants of Anshi, and most of the Anshi troops were Hu people, and the Heshuo area was affected by the Hu wind unabated. Moreover, many generals of the Anshi Department and soldiers of Hebei feudal towns entered the Central Plains and became the leaders or generals of some feudal towns in the Central Plains.
After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, in view of the situation of feudal towns and military dominance since the Middle and Tang dynasties, the rulers adopted a series of measures to strengthen the centralization of power, and all the military power, financial power and criminal power of the Jiedu envoys were brought to the central government, and the Song people advocated literati politics and Han culture. Therefore, the prevalent false child system has lost its political and military role and social conditions, and thus has been greatly restricted, and the large-scale adopted child system has gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
It's ridiculous to say that An Lushan has 8,000 adopted sons, and Zhen Qian also has hundreds of adopted sons in private, but most of these adopted sons are street children, helpless, fatherless and motherless, wandering around and secretly adopted by Zhen Qian.
