Chapter 37 The Customs of Lizhou
Yue Tengzhong continued: "Let's talk about the second one, about the customs of each department. The tribal customs of the various tribes of the Song Domain are completely different from those of our Ming people. We also have local customs in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, but we can change, follow the customs, a northerner comes to the south, within five years, ten years, eating, dressing and speaking will gradually move closer to the south, after twenty years, except for a slight difference in accent, you can't even tell that he is a northerner. ”
"And the tribes of the Song Domain, their customs are deep-rooted, they are engraved in their bones, they have their own set of ideas, and it is difficult for you to force a change. For example, in the Chama tribe, they do not eat fish, they believe that fish is their ancestral god, and eating fish is blasphemous......"
Yue Tengzhong gushed endlessly, giving many examples, and after speaking, Lord Qu Jing nodded and encouraged: "What Abbot Yue said is very informative, which will help all of us calm down and recognize the reality we are in. Based on this, you can spread out any suggestions and say the good, the bad, the experience, and the lessons. ”
Zeng saluted and got up: "I have a word, don't vomit unpleasantly!"
"Abbot Zeng calmed down the Miao Rebellion back then, thanks to the Daomen, please also tell me about your experience and views. ”
Zeng saluted and said: "At the end of last year, the White Horse Courtyard sent troops, surrounded the Xiaohe Ministry, forced the Xiaohe Department to restructure, and plundered the people down the mountain and forcibly naturalized. This incident caused a huge shock among the various departments of the Song Domain, causing an extremely bad impact, and the people of the various departments were panicked for a while. When I heard about this, my heart was like a knife, and I was saddened by the misfortune of the people of Xiaohe, and worried about the bad influence of my Daomen in the Red Plains. These things are all Zhao ......"
Zeng Zhili's face was full of grief and indignation, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and when he was about to point his finger at Zhao Ran and reprimand, Lu Zhiyu looked at the Meng Jian Yuan beside him and asked, "Sorry for the people of Xiaohe?" Is this the abbot of the Daomen or the tribal wizard?"
Meng Jian Yuan shook his head: "This is the abbot Zeng who asked for an official in Anle for the Tusi in the mountains back then, don't you know the brother?"
Lu Zhiyu suddenly said: "It's famous, I heard that which Tusi kills more people, the greater the official position he asks for the other party......?"
Although the muttering of the two below was not loud, it was clearly audible, Zeng Zhili's face was suddenly flushed, and he glared at Lu Zhiyu and Meng Prison and shouted, "What are you talking nonsense!"
Lu Zhiyu smiled: "Is it nonsense? Isn't it the truth?"
Zeng Zhili stepped forward a few steps, pointed at Lu Zhiyu and said angrily: "What kind of official who will kill a lot of officials? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand the situation!"
Lu Zhiyu stood up suddenly, slapped Zeng Zhili's hand pointing at him away, and said with a dark face: "Don't point fingers at me here!" Lao Tzu has a lot of people in Lizhou, and even the people you kneel and beg don't dare to gasp when he sees his grandfather, which green onion are you soft bones? If you point at Lao Tzu and speak, I have to beat you up today!"
Zeng Zhili had never seen this scene, only to feel that Lu Zhiyu in front of him was as terrifying as a fierce god, he panicked, and involuntarily took two steps back, and tripped on the leg of Nie Zhishen, the abbot of the hospital, carelessly, and his whole body fell, pressing heavily on Nie Zhishen's body.
Nie Zhishen exhaled in pain, unceremoniously pushed Zeng Zhili to the ground, covered his knees and complained while "ouch": "Be careful!"
Lu Zhiyu sneered: "Just like this, you still dare to be a prison in the domain? Let us Lizhou, I don't know how to die!"
Lord Qu Jing said with a calm face: "Lu Jian Yuan, if you have anything to say, don't put on the arrogant appearance of your mountain, this is the Tianhe Palace, not a place for you to go wild!"
Lu Zhiyu glared at Qu Jing: "What are you talking about?
Lord Qu Jing turned his face away and snorted coldly, but he was really afraid that this barbarian from Lizhou would rush up, and he would really be beaten by him at that time, no matter how he theories in the future, at least the loss in front of him will be in vain.
Ye Yunxuan finally spoke: "Lu Jian Yuan, sit back and don't make trouble." ”
Lu Zhiyu sat back on the futon with a smile and said, "Ye Du said don't worry, didn't you talk about customs? I just explained to Zeng Jian Yuan, what are the customs of my Lizhou." ”
Zhao Ran was happy in his heart, and secretly raised his thumb: "High!"
Ye Yunxuan said: "Zeng Jian Yuan continued. ”
Zeng Zhili got up, looked at Lu Zhiyu, unconsciously took two steps to the other side, and continued: "I have been presiding over Hongyuan for two and a half years, and I dare not say that I have any great achievements, but at least I have stabilized the situation of the three departments, and the government is harmonious and ......."
As soon as he said this, Yuan Hao couldn't help but interject: "I dare not agree with this statement! All departments are isolated and the party is rampant, this is true. He has been in power for nearly three years, and his credibility is only 20,000 gui, which is not as good as a Taoist temple.
Zeng Zhili said angrily: "At least I didn't use swords and soldiers without permission! But what about the past few years? First, a large army entered the city, arrested hundreds of good people in one go, and forced them to build the city and build roads; then they gathered a large army at the foot of Haizi Mountain and killed the Xiaohe tribe with a river of blood! This is the act of a lone husband, and it is really tyranny! He provoked a popular rebellion without authorization, and he would have been arrested and imprisoned in the Central Plains long ago!"
Yuan Hao said: "Caught hundreds of good people in one go? Idle, bullying and dominating the market, and smashing shops, this kind of lawless person turned out to be a good citizen in Abbot Zeng's heart?
Zeng saluted and said: "At the foot of Haizi Mountain, Zhuo Shan Suo, the head of the Xiaohe River, took the murderer, but was ambushed and killed by the White Horse Courtyard for no reason, and the streets were full of bloody corpses at that time, and naturally blood flowed like a river! Yuan Hao, when do you still want to hide it? Do you really think you can block the mouth of the world?"
Yuan Hao asked, "The streets are full of bloody corpses, have you seen them with your own eyes?"
Zeng Zhili said: "In the details of this, Danmu Tusi and Wanqiu Tusi both wrote letters and submitted them to Tianhe Palace!"
Yuan Hao sneered: "What do people say in the domain, what do you believe in the Zengjian Yuan, it was like this in Anle back then, it was like this when you arrived in Hongyuan, and when you left Hongyuan, it was still like this, and even more! Yuan really doesn't know, did you eat the food of the Daomen or the food of the domain?"
Zeng Zhili said angrily: "Yuan Hao, don't spew blood!"
Yuan Hao sneered: "Blood spews people? Then let's talk about your so-called river of blood first." Yuan doesn't know where to start with the blood flowing like a river, but today he at least knows what it means to open a river! Zeng Jian Yuan just mentioned Danmu and Wanqiu, why didn't he say Mei Si? Mei Si and Yuan are both the parties concerned, and it is really strange that they do not believe the words of our people in charge, but believe the nonsense of people who are not at the scene at all. I can tell you very responsibly that at the foot of Haizi Mountain that day, my White Horse Courtyard patrol did disperse a group of gangsters who tried to storm the Xiaojie Temple, killed one of the bandit leaders Zhuo Shan on the spot, arrested more than 30 people, and there were no casualties in the rest. When he arrived at the mouth of the Zeng Prison Hospital, it became a river of blood, and Yuan was really chilled for those conscientious inspectors!"
