Late Qing Dynasty Executioner

Chapter 207 At least we were a family five thousand years ago
"Can our Miao village also participate in it?"

"Of course!" The roadblock nodded and said with a smile, "Such a good thing, of course I should participate in it."

“What are the benefits of participating?”

"That would be a lot better!" Roadblock explained, "The Huaxia Department is people-oriented. Another way to explain it is that everyone is equal."

"Impossible!" Several elders shouted immediately, their faces full of disbelief.

"It's really impossible!" The stumbling blocker nodded and said with a smile, "But I heard that the leader of the Huaxia tribe and his family of three only have four dishes and one soup for each meal, and the portions are just enough to eat. The two ladies have never bought new clothes for themselves in nearly a year. The leader himself has only worn silk clothes once, but he does have two bearskin cloaks."

"We each have two bearskin cloaks!"

“There are also tiger skin ones!”

"We always have more meat than we can eat at every meal."

Several elders started showing off like a group of little kids.

There are less than a thousand people in the Miao village here. They guard an area of ​​10 square kilometers of arable low hills and are surrounded by mountains. It is simply a paradise. There are abundant resources and no one exploits them. Life is naturally good, but they suffer from the lack of salt and iron, and they are at a disadvantage when exchanging materials.

Of course, not everyone lives a good life, only the elders live such a good life.

After all, where there are people, power and classes will naturally form.

"Compared to the leaders' lives, ordinary people naturally lived a bit worse, but after the equal distribution of land, everyone had five mu of land, and taxes were only one-tenth of the total. There was no corvée, and no other exorbitant taxes.

In addition to farming, people can also work in various workshops, docks, car dealerships and other places, so ordinary people live a pretty good life. Two meals a day are no problem at all, and they can occasionally eat some meat, and they can buy a set of clothes for their families in a year.

As for the benefits of you joining the Huaxia Department." Roadblock paused here, and after several elders stretched their necks, he continued: "I don't know much about other things, but it is certain that you can buy and sell salt, iron and other materials at a fair price.

You can also ask the government to send a teacher back to teach your children how to read, write and do arithmetic, so that you will not be cheated when you do business with others in the future.

Besides, I heard that small settlements like yours can govern themselves!"

"Self-government?" The elders immediately became interested and asked hurriedly, "What is the law of self-government?"

Self-government. If you just want the benefits without being controlled, that would naturally be the best.

"Self-government means self-government. It means the government won't send officials here and you can just manage yourselves." The roadblock said with a smile.

Several elders showed joy on their faces. One of them frowned and thought for a while, then squinted his eyes to look at the obstacle and said, "Little friend Liu, you must be responsible for what you say!"

"Of course!" The roadblock nodded seriously, stood up, bowed to several elders, and said solemnly: "Let me introduce myself again, Liu Guangsheng, the commander of the Huaxia South Expedition Army, and meet all the Miao elders."

"The Great Elder of Baoyuan Miao Village, Shi Kaishan, welcomes the General of the Huaxia Tribe to Baoyuan!"

Several elders stood up and introduced themselves. Now they were discussing official matters, so they naturally needed to be more serious. "Well, what kind of rank is a brigade commander?" asked one of the elders.

The stumbling block smiled and explained, "It's equivalent to a sixth-rank official in the imperial court. If Liu retires now and is transferred to a local position, he will be demoted to a lower rank, and become a county magistrate or a ministerial-level official in a prefecture."

Shi Kaishan couldn't help but nodded. He naturally knew about local officials such as county magistrates and prefects.

Now the so-called Hua Xia Ministry only occupies the area of ​​Sichuan Province. The county magistrate is considered a high-level official, not to mention that he can still be a county magistrate even if he is demoted one level. One can imagine the status of Liu Guangsheng in the Hua Xia Ministry.

"Why did you have to be demoted to a lower level when you were transferred to another place?" an elder asked curiously.

"Local officials who want to work in the military will also need to take a demotion!" The roadblocker laughed, "After all, I don't know how to govern a place, and local officials don't know how to fight a war. Isn't it reasonable for them to take a demotion and learn a little?"

Several elders couldn't help but nodded. The Huaxia Department was indeed a relatively reasonable government.

"You came to Baoyuan specifically to inform our Miao village to attend the legislative conference?" Shi Kaishan asked.

The stumbling block nodded and said, "What the leader means is that, regardless of race, since we were born on this land of China, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we were one family at least five thousand years ago. Although many of our living habits are different, we all look the same.

China should not exclude you when establishing a country or making laws. We can talk about anything and try our best to seek common ground while reserving differences, and work out a law that everyone can agree on.

In the future, if there are any disputes, we should act according to the law instead of resorting to war. It takes more than ten years of hardship to raise a young man, but a war will cause the death of countless young men. "

Shi Kaishan laughed at himself and said in a somewhat sad tone: "How can the Miao people dare to go to war with you Han people for thousands of years~.

Haha, it's better not to talk, but now that your leader wants to talk, then let's talk. I just hope that your leader is really compassionate and willing to give equal treatment to all races."

"The collar and sleeves are the model of the clothes. Although they are in a conspicuous place, they are also the most vulnerable to damage. No one can guarantee it a hundred years from now, but our generation, under the leadership of our leader, can definitely give equal treatment to all ethnic groups and people!" said the roadblock in a sonorous and powerful voice.

The stumbling block really has confidence in Chen Guan. Regardless of Chen Guan's military talent and governing ability, at least Chen Guan can set an example by restraining himself and exercising self-control in many aspects such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, and power, setting an example.

The most important thing is that Chen Gui is really willing to do something for the people and is truly doing it for the good of the people.

As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Now the ordinary people of Sichuan are loyal to Chen Gu. With everyone working together, it is only a matter of time before he seizes the world.

After all, although the Qing Dynasty was large, it was already corrupt and could only treat its people like cows and horses. Although the Huaxia tribe only had the land of one province, it was thriving and had united hundreds of ethnic groups and people.

In comparison, if the Huaxia tribe fails to overthrow the Qing court, then God will really be blind.

Chen not only sent people to invite ethnic minorities to Chongqing to participate in the Legislative Assembly, but also began to incorporate many underworld forces in Sichuan.

The first sect to be incorporated was the White Lotus Sect, and Lao Nian was responsible for this matter personally.
