After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

According to crazy literature, she really wanted to sit on that old man——

Of course that's just Shuangwen YY.

When Xu Zhenying entered the room, everyone in the room looked up in her direction. The door was open, light came in, and the man walked slowly towards the light.

He seems to look very different from other Han people. Other Han people don't dress like him, let alone have nondescript hair like him.

The natives know that the Han people believe that the body, hair and skin are affected by their parents, and they are never willing to damage their hair easily. However, this man's hair is shoulder length, a bit like a young man from a wealthy family. His hair is tied into a lump, which looks very strange. .

At this glance, everyone felt puzzled.

Is this the city lord that Jiang Yongkang often talks about?

Too thin!

Too young!

He looked like he was about fifteen years old at most, and he looked like a childish young man!

But it happened that he was such a young man, with a smile on his face, but not angry or intimidating. Especially when he saw that there was no seat for him in the room, there was no anger on his face. Instead, he just smiled and asked his men with angry faces to move it. stool.

Everyone looked at Xu Zhenying expectantly, as if waiting for her to get angry, and then they would show off their muscles and beat each other.

Ming Xiaoshuang looked angry at first, then after listening to Xu Zhenying whisper a few words, he went out with a smile on his face.

Everyone was very puzzled.

Without speaking, they had already had secret confrontations several times.

The village elder sitting at the top coughed and waved to Xu Zhenying, "Are you the city lord mentioned by Jiang Yongkang?"

Xu Zhenying said with a smile: "That's right, but please wait a moment. There is no seat for me here. I will talk to you in detail when my stool comes."

It is said that you should not hit someone with a smiling face, not to mention Xu Zhenying's sincere smile, which made the other party who was already ready to attack suddenly choke back his words.

What's going on?

The reaction is different from what I imagined.

Generally speaking, when those in power are so insulted, shouldn't they be furious? Isn't it best for the two parties to sit down and talk after seeing each other again?

You might say that this young man is cowardly and afraid of getting into trouble, but from the moment she walked in, it seemed that everything in the house was naturally under her control.

You could say he was brave, but he didn't seem to be. She smiled the whole time, making it impossible to find anything wrong.

Why does the party that struck first start to feel uncomfortable?

Several chieftain representatives glanced at each other, unable to figure out Xu Zhenying's routine, and no one spoke for a while.

Jiang Yongkang curled his lips, as if he felt a little funny.

The brothers behind Jiang Yongkang also looked over with confusion. Even under such circumstances, their bodies were still tense, as if they were ready to draw their swords at any time.

Time passed slowly in this tense atmosphere.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside, and Ming Xiaoshuang and two others were carrying stools.

Immediately, everyone looked at the visitor in shock.

Where is the bench?

This is clearly the very extravagant and huge imperial concubine's couch in the royal room of Qianzhou Mansion——

Everyone was stunned!

Not to mention Jiang Yongkang's team, even the chieftains and the Miao people in the house were stunned!

Ming Xiaoshuang commanded the two of them with a happy face to place the imperial concubine's couch firmly next to the village elder, and even politely said: "Old man, please move a little bit."

The village elder had his mouth wide open the whole time, watching helplessly as Ming Xiaoshuang placed the imperial concubine's couch next to him.

Xu Zhenying also smiled and ordered his subordinates: "We in Qianzhou are poor and poor, so I'm afraid we don't have enough money to buy seats. You go outside to move the stools. After moving the stools, come in and find a seat to sit down. We are having a meeting!"

Wang Sanniang was a little overjoyed, so she took them outside to look for stools.

"This..." The village elder had never seen such a weird scene. He only saw people coming in and out in front of him. Soon, twenty or thirty people went outside to move stools and found places to sit down. .

Especially Wang Sanniang and Jiang Yongkang, the two of them had a tacit understanding to insert themselves into the gap between the Miao people and sit down. The Miao people stared at them fiercely, but they didn't care. Anyway, there were many empty seats among them, so everyone just squeezed in!

Xu Zhenying also sat down, then smiled with satisfaction, clapped his hands and said: "Old man, everyone squeeze in and sit down, you see how lively our room is now! Don't worry, we are not wronged, you don't have to worry about us. Oh, by the way, you What did you want to say just now——"

The show of force instantly turned into farce.

The elder of the village was stunned when he lifted it to his chest. Especially when he saw the smiling Xu Zhenying, he felt even more uncomfortable.

What do you mean you don’t have to worry about them and they don’t feel aggrieved?

Why do you get more and more angry when you hear this?

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhenying just symbolically expressed respecting the elderly and caring for the young. Before the elders of the village could speak, he started to take control of the audience, "Okay, let's start today's meeting!"

No one could get a word in, but they heard Xu Zhenying's voice speaking at a fast pace. As she spoke quickly and urgently, several people below immediately took out pamphlets and pencils and pretended to listen and take notes.

The Miao people were completely confused.

"Let me briefly introduce myself first. My name is Xu Zhenying, and I can barely be regarded as the prince of Jinzhou Prefecture. At present, the Jinzhou Prefecture area has been completely taken over by us. Comrade Jiang Yongkang has been entrusted by me to cooperate with you to destroy the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. , I am here now because I want to talk to you about the ownership and management of Qianzhou Prefecture."

Xu Zhenying spoke very quickly and used unfamiliar words. Several chieftains were confused, but the village elder noticed the gap and immediately interrupted her: "Xu...Xu Zhenying?"

"Hey, what do you think?" Xu Zhenying's eyes flashed, her expression was extremely sincere, and she looked like she respected the old and loved the young, "Just call me Xiao Xu."

The village elder said that he really couldn't scream. He coughed again and said in very skilled Chinese: "I have a general understanding of what happened. I am also very grateful to your instructor Jiang for helping us repel the imperial attack. But you should know that you only have 2,000 people in this battle, and we dispatched 40,000 people, with countless casualties, so we must have a serious discussion about the ownership of Qianzhou."

"Old man, aren't we talking about this?" Xu Zhenying smiled very kindly. She seemed to be unable to feel any emotions from her body, which made people confused all the time. "What about you, listen to me first. If you have any questions after I finish speaking, Shall we discuss it again?”

The village elder always felt that this young man was too weird. Even though he had read countless people, he couldn't understand her thoughts at all, so he could only nod his head and said, "Speak first."

"What I mean is that we should still follow the original imperial court's management model, with the Han people governing the Han people and the Miao people governing the Miao people. It doesn't matter if you want to discuss the ownership of the Qianzhou Prefecture, but if you want to completely take over the management of the Qianzhou Prefecture, here It is absolutely impossible to be a local emperor in this piece of land." Before the other people clap the table and get up, Xu Zhenying continued: "Why do I say that? Because the Miao and Han families have different living habits, and they have different living habits. No one obeys anyone. Now the Han people cannot rule the Miao people, and the Miao people cannot rule the Han people. If you rashly take over Qianzhou Prefecture, it will only arouse strong opposition from the 800,000 Han people in Qianzhou Prefecture. Why, you don’t think you After conquering Qianzhou Prefecture, can you two hundred thousand natives govern 800,000 Han people? In this world, only the majority manages the affairs of the few. I have never seen a minority manage the majority. I dare to predict that you dare to move into Qianzhou Prefecture. Yamen, the common people will destroy your Yamen the next day! Not to mention that you have no experience in managing a city at all. You have been in poverty for hundreds of years, so you have to let Shun. The people of Yuancheng are also practicing slash-and-burn farming with you, and they don’t have enough to eat or keep warm?”

These words were a bit harsh, and the weakest chieftain, Demao, immediately stood up and objected fiercely: "You Han people have enslaved us natives for decades, why can't we enslave you! If the majority governs the minority, you Don’t forget that Shunyuan City belongs to us natives from the very beginning. It was you who forcibly occupied this city and then enslaved us natives! Now we just want to return to our own territory, and that is only natural!"

The rest of the people also stood up. The Miao people stared at Xu Zhenying excitedly, and the atmosphere in the room was immediately ignited.

"Stop it." Xu Zhenying raised his hand, "First of all, let me say a few points. First, it is the Zhou Dynasty that enslaved you, not me, Xu Zhenying. I, Xu Zhenying, have opposed the imperial court and have rebelled, so I, like you, can be regarded as the great Zhou Dynasty." The enemies of the Zhou Dynasty, the so-called enemies of enemies are friends, so it follows that our two families are friends. So you can’t blame me for the Zhou Dynasty’s debt, right? Do you think what I say makes sense in this matter? "

Does this make sense...

Is this even reasonable?

This question made everyone a little confused.

Why is it so winding? Can't we negotiate well and have to go round and round?

"Second, I, Xu Zhenying, have completely different governance concepts from those of the Zhou Dynasty. I don't like to enslave anyone or any nation. My governance strategy is win-win cooperation, making money together, and living a good life together." Xu Zhenying saw the silence in the room After a while, the Miao people seemed to have listened, and continued, "Take you Qianzhou as an example. You natives have been exploited by the court. As far as I know, this time you are also unable to bear the burden of the fixed tax. Is there something going on?"

Elder Zhai Fang's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to notice the word "ye" that Xu Zhenying said.

"That's right, I occupied Lan County last year, and the court wanted to collect 600,000 yuan in taxes from us. You haven't been to Lan County, so you don't know the specific situation. You all know that there was a flood in Jinzhou Prefecture last year, right? It's dead There are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, but the court does not care about our life and death, and still requires us to bear high taxes. The ordinary people can no longer survive, so they can only follow me in uprising. In a certain respect, the Han people at the bottom are just like you Miao people. They are all deeply exploited by the imperial court."

The faces of the village elders were a little solemn. They had lived in the mountains for a long time and seemed to have no idea what the life of the lower-class Han people outside was like.

"It's not the same. The taxes on the natives here are 20% heavier than those on the Han people. The corvee tax is the heaviest. Last year, a thousand Han people were arrested for building bridges and roads, and three thousand native people were arrested. When they left, Only half of it came back. The person who supervised the work was the distant nephew of the concubine of the Qianzhou Prefecture Army. Because of this relationship, that person is still alive today. It was just that he was stabbed to death by our brothers a few days ago. "

Xu Zhenying went on to say: "Yes, in fact, our identities and positions are similar. We are all hard-working people. I often say that I am different from the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty likes to gain through oppression and exploitation. Wealth, but I make myself and the people gain wealth by creating more wealth. You may not understand what I am saying now. Let me give a simple example, let’s talk about our Ye County. Last year, Ye County was occupied by rogue bandits. The people inside either fled or were killed, and Ye County became an empty city."

"But it has only been half a year now, and all production has been restored. The people have planted the first wave of grain, and the per capita income has also increased. From penniless last year, it has increased to one tael of silver per person per year now. This is just per capita, a family of five adds up to five taels of silver.”

The village chieftain was stunned, "Fifty taels of silver?"

You must know that in their opinion, the people of Shunyuan City are already extremely wealthy, but to ask them to earn five taels of silver a year without food is almost like a fantasy.

"Secondly, I don't have any prejudice against you natives." Xu Zhenying's mouth was dry as he spoke, and Wang Sanniang immediately cleverly added some tea.

Others were clearly fascinated.

I haven’t seen the city lord talk like this for a long time!

I remembered that during the evening classes in the military camp, the city lord was always like this. He could catch everyone's ears with just a few words, making people want to listen to him unconsciously.

"Turen are human beings, and Han Chinese are human beings. We live on the same land. To put it bluntly, we all have the same ancestors."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhenying saw the Miao people opposite with disdain on their faces, as if they didn't want to be confused with the Han people.

"Whether you like it or not, we all have two eyes and one nose. We are all human beings and even speak the same language. So the Han people want to enslave the Miao people, and the Miao people want to enslave the Han people. This kind of thinking is backward. What is short-lived cannot last long!”

"Hmph, it sounds so nice. If we don't enslave the Han people, then you should give Shunyuan City to us."

Someone shouted back.

"I have said before that Shunyuan City is given to you, how do you plan to manage it? You don't want to be controlled by the Han people, just like the Han people don't want to be controlled by you. In the past, the Han and Miao were at odds with each other. You killed me and I killed You, blood feuders from generation to generation, have no way to get along with each other at the moment. The best way is to let it go for a while, retreat to your own positions first, and then work together to seek common development."

"You said it easily, then could it be possible that the thousands of men in our village were killed by the Han in vain? What kind of life have we Miao people lived in the past ten years? Our blood feud with the Han people has been wiped out by you just by talking about it. Smoothed out?"

Xu Zhenying squinted his eyes and smiled, looking at the person who spoke, "Of course, you also have another option, occupy Qianzhou, continue to advance south, and join the Zhou Dynasty. But with your population of 300,000, I'm afraid even Jinzhou Prefecture You can't even step on it. After all, you are a minority and you are at a disadvantage in terms of population, so you are destined to be unable to step out of this three-acre land. Instead of letting this three-acre land in front of you always be in the flames of war, why Don’t you want to find a way to make your people develop better so that they can all live a good life?”

Some Miao people wiped away tears and said, "Who doesn't want to live a good life? Aren't they all forced by your court?"

Wang Sanniang couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Brother, why are you telling our city lord this? I have told you so many times that your people were not killed by the city lord. Instead, the city lord helped you kill many Han people. Moreover, Our city lord has rebelled, why are you still throwing this shit in our city lord’s face? After all, the city lord is still your benefactor. This is how you treat your benefactor. You don’t even give a seat to your benefactor when you enter the house, and you act like Looks like he's asking for help?"

"You!" The Miao man didn't speak Chinese well, and he didn't understand what he was saying. He only knew that what Wang Sanniang said was not a good thing. He was about to rush forward, but was stopped by his companions.

Ming Xiaoshuang also responded, "That's right. If we, Jiang Yongkang, hadn't given you the idea of ​​a fire attack, you wouldn't have known how long this battle would last, and you wouldn't know how many brothers would have died. You were crossing the river and demolishing the bridge too quickly, weren't you?"

The village elder was a sensible person, and his face turned slightly red, but his face was dark, so it wasn't very noticeable.

Also, there is no doubt that Jiang Yongkang played a decisive role in this battle.

The village elder had no choice but to raise his hand to stop a few impulsive Miao people. Instead, he said to Xu Zhenying: "They are right. Your people did help us in this matter."

"Elder!" The few little toasts below immediately became anxious.

Xu Zhenying found that she couldn't be too reasonable with them. After all, this was not a modern place. She had to consider that the people here were uneducated and uncivilized. She should also measure her muscles in a timely manner.

So she quickly adjusted her negotiation skills, "Then let's do this. Let me ask directly, does the old man mean that you want to take over Shunyuan City and occupy the entire Qianzhou Prefecture?"

"That's natural!"

"Shunyuan City was originally ours!"

Immediately there was an emotional response from the Miao people below.

"Okay." Xu Zhenying frowned, "Then let me ask you three questions. First, after you occupy Shunyuan Mansion, how do you plan to deal with the disobedient Han people in Shunyuan Mansion? They have many more people than you, and their weapons are more advanced than you. , how do you plan to maintain your court with fewer people and ensure that there will not be a second riot in Shunyuan Mansion and more people will not die?"

"Use a whip. The whip will definitely make them obedient! The Han people are docile and bloodless. As long as you give them a bite to eat, they won't resist!"

Well, this is true. The Chinese nation has always been the most tolerant nation.

"Using tyranny to suppress is not a good way, but it can be regarded as a solution. The second question is, how do you plan to manage Shunyuan City? Since you are all the kings here, you naturally have the obligation to let the people here Live a better life. But as far as I know, not only the native people in Qianzhou Prefecture are living in poverty, but also the people in Shunyuan City are extremely poor. After you came to power, you did not talk about building bridges and roads, constructing water conservancy projects, and developing education. , we must at least develop agriculture, right? How many of you know how to plant land, how to compost, how to select seeds, and how to increase production? It is better not to let the few fertile fields in Qianzhou Prefecture go to waste."
