The Reborn Wife is Farming

Fan Zijin raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Your concubine has a heart."

In the evening Qi Haoran came back in a huff, kissed Mu Yangling and said, "I know you are thinking about me all the time, don't worry, although I don't like vegetarians, as long as it is made by you, I will eat everything."

Mu Yangling pursed his lips and smiled, and the next day he didn't mix all the dishes together. It was the same as Fan Zijin's, and they were all served separately. They were all four dishes and one soup, but Qi Haoran's had three meat and one vegetable, while Fan Zijin's was Two meat and two vegetables, and, Qi Haoran's dishes are Mu Yangling's slightly rough craftsmanship, while Fan Zijin's dishes are carefully prepared by the cook.

After cooking like this for a few days, Mu Yangling studied hard with the cook again, and his cooking skills, which hadn't improved for many years, got better and better.

Fan Zijin saw that the couple looked like honey, their teeth were sore, he turned around and found something for them to do, "This is a post from Miao Village, Ji'an's eldest son and son-in-law have returned, and invited us to visit. "

Qi Haoran waved his hand and said: "You can go to this kind of thing, otherwise, send the people under you." Although Qi Haoran didn't have second-rank generals under his command, third-rank generals were not young or old, and they were qualified enough to attend the banquet in Miao Village.

However, Fan Zijin said: "One-third of the Han people in southern Guizhou, nearly two-thirds of the Miao people, and the remaining few are Yao and other ethnic groups. They should not be feared, but the Miao people have to fight Good relationship."

"The conflict between the Han people and the Miao people has been going on for a long time, but I am a soldier, and I am only responsible for training soldiers and guarding the southwest and northwest borders. This political affairs should be the concern of the local officials. Didn't the eldest brother send Mr. Liu to be the prefect of Juzhou? When will he arrive? appoint?"

Mr. Liu failed the Jinshi examination back then, but Mu Yangling asked Fan Zijin to help him line up to get an official position as a county magistrate in the name of Juren. With Mu Yangling's relationship, he has already been labeled as Qi Haoran.

In just two or three years, he was promoted from county magistrate to county magistrate, and in less than half a year, Qi Xiuyuan made him the magistrate of Juzhou after he ascended the throne.

Juzhou is very poor, but no matter how poor it is, it is still a magistrate. At this time, Mr. Liu is grateful to Dade, and rushes here quickly.

Fan Zijin was more concerned with political affairs than Qi Haoran. Hearing this, he said, "We'll be there in four or five days," he said, "Why do you think elder brother let Mr. Liu come to Juzhou? It's not because he belongs to us, elder brother obviously is I want you to adjust the relationship between Han and Miao."

Qi Haoran pondered. During the reign of Emperor Sejong, the imperial court treated the ethnic minorities and the Han people in the same way. Taxes, taxes and labor were the same. Even because the ethnic minorities lived in remote and barren areas, Emperor Sejong had tax reduction and exemption policies every year. It can be said that, At that time, everyone was united as one. Although Qi Haoran didn't like reading very much, he was familiar with history books.

After Gaozong came to the throne, several emperors after Gaozong were a bit extravagant. In addition, wars began to rise in the northwest, north and northeast. The wealth accumulated by Emperor Sejong was gradually exhausted, and the treasury was empty. It is a proposal to increase the taxation of ethnic minorities in the south of Guizhou, the northwest and the north.

For nearly a hundred years after King Sejong, the lives of ethnic minorities have become more and more difficult, and the taxes have become heavier. The Han people have been taxed enough, and their taxes are three times heavier than the Han people. If they hadn’t gathered together to help each other , I am afraid that more than half of them will starve to death.

But it is also because it is born of a gathering of ethnic groups, it is easier to raise troops to rebel. In the past two decades, there have been ethnic minority rebellions in southern Guizhou. Nan, after a lot of burning, killing and looting, Qi Haoran still couldn't catch them.

Could it be that the eldest brother wants to imitate Emperor Sejong and subdue the Miao people psychologically?

Fan Zijin said: "In the past two months or so, I have often been walking in the city. I have seen that the Han people and the Miao people live separately. The Han people often look down on the Miao people and other ethnic minorities, and the Miao people also hate the Han people. Things happened, but there were a lot of fights. Haoran, Mr. Liu, a powerless scholar, how could he manage the brave and brave Miao people? The big cousin sent him to be the magistrate, I'm afraid it's because of you, After all, he is your man and will not stop you from doing things."

"But the military and government have always been separated..."

"Of course the military and government must be separated, but if Mr. Liu asks for your support, for the sake of local and national security, you can help."

Qi Haoran was in deep thought, and at night he grabbed a pen and wrote a letter to Qi Xiuyuan.

Mu Yangling rubbed ink for him at the side, and said: "I have visited Juzhou City for the past few days, and found that only a small number of merchants in the city can speak the common language, and most of them speak their own dialects. If Han people and Miao people When people buy and sell things, they can only gesticulate, communicate in this way, not to mention that the imperial court treats Han people and Miao people separately, even if they treat them equally, there will be problems."

Qi Haoran bit the tip of his pen and said, "Qiannan seldom communicates with the outside world. It's normal that the common language is rarely used. They all speak Juzhou dialect."

"But I think there are very few people who can speak Juzhou dialect. It's okay for Han people. Most of them can speak it. Miao people are born in a group of ethnic groups. They rarely come out of Miao villages. Few of them can speak Juzhou dialect. I think, you If you want to manage Qiannan well, the first thing is to open a school to let everyone learn the common language. The younger ones can learn slowly, and the children learn the language quickly. The older ones only need to learn some daily communication needs, and the rest will be fine. You can let the children in their own family teach..."

Qi Haoran frowned, and said: "Then this is completely aimed at the Miao people. I'm afraid the Miao people don't want it. Besides, it costs a lot to open a school. The Yamen in Juzhou seems to be very poor."

It’s not like, it’s just that it’s too poor to look directly at, the government office is dilapidated, the wall in the backyard is not collapsed, but it is also mottled, the roof is in disrepair for a long time, I haven’t seen that Qi Haoran is now temporarily renting the house of the squire, no Would you like to live in the government office?

Mu Yangling coughed lightly, and obviously knew the reason. He thought for a while and said, "Why don't we collect donations from the government office? The lower officials and gentry will definitely follow, and the children who enter the school don’t need to pay, just come in and read.”

Qi Haoran's eyes lit up, "In addition to teaching common language, we should also teach them "The Analects of Confucius", and teach them the principles of monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons..." At that time, all Miao children will have learned ethics. Ten or twenty years later, these The children grew up and became the new generation. He dare not say that there will be no more rebellions, but the number of wars should be reduced a lot.

Mu Yang was tongue-tied, her original intention was just to teach Chinese, so that everyone would not have conflicts under the same language, who knew that Qi Haoran would directly launch a cultural invasion.

Seeing Qi Haoran excitedly writing to Qi Xiuyuan, Mu Yangling decided to go down and prepare a supper for him, otherwise with Qi Haoran's habit of writing wherever he thought of, he would probably be hungry tonight.

Qi Haoran did write more and more, and finally wrote a thick stack of paper. He originally wanted to check for typos, but when he saw it was so thick, he immediately lost his mood. He just waited for the ink on it to dry before folding it and stuffing it into a big envelope. .
