Chapter 622: common wish
Qi Xiuyuan was taken aback when he received Qi Haoran's letter. He wouldn't send the official document he was going to deal with as a letter, would he?
After reading the letter, Qi Xiuyuan thought deeply.
He did promote Liu Qing to the prefect of Juzhou to make it easier for Qi Haoran to do things, but he didn't think that just a few short years of office would be able to clear up the affairs of ethnic minorities. Emperor Sejong worked hard for nearly 20 years. It's easy to get a little better, but as a result, the future generations will destroy his previous 20 years of hard work with just a little extravagance. So what Qi Xiuyuan wants to do is to formulate a system and fix some policies through laws and oracles, even if the descendants are unworthy. , the government will not be too faint, and the Qi family's country can be maintained for a longer time.
Of course, this is just a vague idea in Qi Xiuyuan's heart. It's too early to talk about it now. All he can do is to try his best to smooth the affairs of the state, and to live a good life first.
For Qi Haoran's proposal, Qi Xiuyuan could only reply with the words "Xu Xutuzhi".
There is no emperor who doesn't want to be a monarch, and doesn't want to be famous in history. It only depends on whether they have the ability, morality and self-control.
Didn't Emperor Jingyan have the ambition to be the first emperor of the past?
Yes, but his ability is not enough, his morals are incomplete, and his self-control is even a negative number, which is why he was so disastrous.
Qi Xiuyuan's ability to conquer the military's heart, and the support of so many people shows his charm and ability. He also loves the people, and he is also a military commander. There is nothing missing now, it is up to God to give him this opportunity, to give his country and his subjects a chance to recuperate.
As long as he gets this opportunity, he won't die young or anything, and he will have a great chance to become a famous emperor who will be remembered in history.
At this time, Qi Haoran still didn't know his eldest brother's thinking and the responsibilities he was about to be given.
It will be the year of the Miao in a short time, and there will be a party in the larger Miao village in southern Guizhou. This year, it will be the turn of the Miao village in Ji'an. Because the year of the Miao is the most grand festival for the Miao people, Ji'an sent Miao clothes ahead of time. .
Bringing Miao dresses to distinguished guests is their highest treatment, because Qi Haoran also intends to have a good relationship with the Miao people, so he wants to wear the Miao dresses they sent.
But Qi Haoran was okay, Mu Yangling's clothes were long sleeves, revealing a small section of small arms, Mu Yangling hadn't noticed anything wrong, Qi Haoran was not happy, the white and tender little arms were only If you can see it yourself, it's fine to wear it in the house, why should you wear it for other men to see?
So Qi Haoran changed his mind temporarily, he no longer wore the Miao uniform, he had to wear his own court uniform, and Mu Yangling also wore the official uniform.
"The official uniform is remade like that. Are you sure you want me to wear it for a day? Besides, it's okay to wear court clothes on a hot day."
Although it was already autumn, the temperature in southern Guizhou was still quite high, plus it was sultry, Qi Haoran felt sweat dripping down with only two clothes on.
At this moment, he was sweating all over his forehead. He wiped the sweat and complained in a low voice, "Isn't it already cold in Jiangnan when you came? They are all wearing clips, why is it still so hot here?"
Now is the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and it is about to enter the winter. Mu Yangling has never been to Qiannan in his previous life and this life, so he really does not know what the weather in Qiannan should be like at this time.
Mu Yangling changed the Miao clothes and folded them, and said, "Why don't you change the sleeves? I heard that all the Miao tribes with more than 1,000 people in southern Guizhou will come to the rally. Miaofu's appearance is an attitude, at least it can make them feel at ease."
Mu Yangling didn't want to challenge the Han people's etiquette, so he returned his clothes to Ji'an and told his request.
Ji An called his eldest son and son-in-law, Ji An Yong frowned and said, "It won't conform to the etiquette system if you change it."
The dresses of the women of their tribe are the most honorable ones with half-length sleeves, but Ji'an's son-in-law Chen Jiacai said with a smile: "Han people value chastity, this is a matter of course, don't think that it doesn't conform to our etiquette, only in line with our etiquette. The common etiquette on both sides is the best, so let people make the sleeves of the dress longer and embroider our family flowers on it to show solemnity."
Ji An nodded again and again, "Jiacai said it was good, so let's do it like this. Jiacai, I'll leave this to you, and when you're done, you can deliver it to the princess in person. I hope she doesn't mind."
Chen Jiacai nodded with a smile, and said after a pause: "It's better to let my uncle go with me, or to talk about the court's tone, although we can also be exempted from tax for three years, but this year is the first year, and three years are very fast. In the past, we didn’t know how high our taxes would be.”
Speaking of this Ji'an, I was worried and regretted: "It's a pity that the Xixia soldiers rushed too fast, otherwise we might really be able to break away from the imperial court and become one with Dali."
Chen Jiacai frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, it's better for us to forget about this. In fact, it may not be a good thing to merge into Dali. It was a last resort when we had this idea before. After all, the taxes in Dazhou are getting heavier and heavier. I can't afford it, but now that the new dynasty is established, the country is in need of recuperation, and Daqi's national strength is also OK, staying in Daqi will definitely be better than merging into Dali."
"Yeah, Abba, I also think that Dali's envoys have bad intentions. They just told us to form an alliance, and when they turned around and encountered the Xixia soldiers, they all fled. If it wasn't for Qi Wangye leading a large army to attack the Xixia soldiers, we might have run away. All dead." As he spoke, Qi Haoran was full of admiration.
Jian looked at his son speechlessly, turned his head to his son-in-law and said earnestly: "Jiacai, you have to help the eldest son well, this child is too careless."
Chen Jiacai couldn't help but smile, and said hurriedly: "Father-in-law, you have been worrying too much, I think it's good for my uncle to be like this. Who among the younger generation in the stockade doesn't agree with my uncle?"
Jianyong nodded and said angrily, "Abba, you would say to me, what's wrong with me admiring heroes?"
"That's right, but we Miao people have been oppressed by the Han people for generations. If you can go a little farther, don't go too close, lest you be sold and count the money for them."
Chen Jiacai saw that his father-in-law frowned with worry, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Not all Han people bullied Miao people, but the court's policy was inclined. People are harsher.
For example, if the Han and the Miao people have a dispute, the officials will be more inclined to the Han people. Regardless of right or wrong, the Miao people will be punished more severely than the Han people for the same crime, and the Miao people will be rewarded less than the Han people for the same credit. getting heavier.
In order to solve this kind of thing, the only way is to go through the imperial court. The imperial court’s policy is not inclined, or the degree of inclination is smaller. In this way, the Miao people can get more time to recuperate, and the conflicts between the Miao and the Han people can also be suspended.
The Chen family is a Han Chinese, and he has been studying since he was a child. After 20 years, he has already understood the essence of it.
