Chapter 62 The Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty who implemented the Han system

Chapter 62 Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty who implemented the Han system (Part 1)

"One Jin divided the East and West, the Three Kingdoms, Two Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties."

Ma Doudou was thinking about the representative of the New Year in his mouth. He looked at the crowds around him. The scene and scene were exactly the same as those they had encountered in the early Jin Dynasty.

"Brother, what are you talking about? We seem to have entered a dynasty in a chaotic world now."

Zhiguoguo was afraid that she and Madoudou would be lost by the crowd, so she grabbed Madoudou's hands tightly.

"Sister, that's right, the Eastern Jin Dynasty began after the Western Jin Dynasty, and continued until the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the world began to split again."

When Zhiguoguo heard the Northern and Southern Dynasties, she couldn't help but recite the words that Zhi's mother taught her to read, "The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, and cattle and sheep appear on the grass..."

"Sister, it should be Chile River, under the Yin Mountains. The sky is like a dome, covering all the fields. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass low and sees cattle and sheep. This folk song outlines the magnificent and rich scenery of the grasslands in the north, and expresses the pride of the Chile people loving their hometown and loving life."

Madoudou and Zhiguoguo lined up with the crowds coming and going to Luoyang City. Looking at the word Luoyang in front of the city tower, Madoudou was full of thoughts.

He and Zhiguoguo have experienced troubled and prosperous times, seen the peace of the people, and also seen the people fleeing.

It's still in Luoyang, but things have changed.

"Line up, Your Majesty has an order to wear Chinese clothes and speak Chinese language in Luoyang City, not Hu clothes or speak Chinese language."

The soldiers guarding the city gate taught the crowd in line to enter the city. Some people in Hu's uniforms were pulled out by the soldiers.

Soon when Madoudou and Zhiguoguo were lined up, they invited the brother and sister out because their clothes seemed a little strange to the soldiers.

"If you want to enter the city, go to the clothing shop outside the city gate to change into the Chinese clothes and then line up."

The soldier pointed to a shed not far from the city gate. There were cloth signs outside the door, and the words on it said Han Clothing Shop.

Because the characters written in small regular script, Ma Doudou still knows them.

When Madoudou and Zhiguoguo came to the Hanyi Shop, the shopkeeper looked at the brother and sister.

"The ready-to-wear clothes here are not as good as yours at the moment. If you are not in a hurry to enter the city, you can come back in two days."

Madoudou and Zhiguoguo had no place to go. When he heard the shopkeeper say that it would take two days to have a Han garment suitable for them, which meant that they had to stay outside the city for two days.

"Uncle, do you think this is OK? We fled from our hometown. I heard that His Majesty is promoting the Han system and treating the people leniently, so we brother and sister thought we could go to Luoyang City to ask for food."

Madoudou didn't want to make trouble, so he had to kindly tell the shopkeeper of the garment shop that he and Zhiguoguo had escaped.

After all, it is reasonable to pretend to be a refugee now.

"My shop only sells some Han clothes during the day, and the court subsidizes silver. Your Majesty ordered all foreigners or Hu tribes who come to join me to get a set of Han clothes for free. Otherwise, you will come in two days."

The shopkeeper was telling the truth. His Han clothing shop was run by the official and was established by Emperor Xiaowen to take the lead in implementing the Han system in Luoyang.

"Uncle, we have no place to go, and there is no place to stay outside the city. If it is convenient for Uncle, can we allow our brother and sister to sleep in the shop and have a place to shelter from the wind and rain?"

The shopkeeper saw that Ma Doudou and Zhiguo's clothes were indeed not in the Central Plains, nor in the Hu tribe. Seeing that they were young, they felt compassion.

"Okay, I'll take you brother and sister here. But I can say that I'm in front of you, and I'll only be there for two days."
