When Lord Zheng heard this, he asked. Slowly retracted his smile. There was a solemnity on his face that he had never seen since the meeting.

Chang Sihao has a sense. Busy said: "Maybe this is something that shouldn't be asked." Chang Sihao lost his words. Master Zheng shook his head. "That's not true. It's just that this matter is too shocking to say it. Even in our league. Discussions have only been held at the top level. And now to see. To make it work. It's just too hard, it's too hard. He froze for a moment. He muttered again: "Alas. It's too hard ......."

Chang Sihao looked at him. I thought about it when I was sitting and drinking tea. He narrated a few strategies for governing the country. Looks quite confident. How to talk about this sword family's grand wish. actually said "too difficult" three times in a row. Could it be that this matter will be more tricky than controlling cabinet ministers.

Lord Zheng stared at him for a moment. Said: "It is the preliminary aspiration of the Jianjia family to say that the reform of the new Anbang is the preliminary. It's not a big deal. What we're trying to achieve in the end is quite complex. It is made up of many parts. There is an umbrella. There are figurative images. From the temple to the folk. From officialdom to rivers and lakes. It covers governance, official responsibility, law enforcement, education, etiquette, agriculture and labor, and so on. It can be said that ideology, folk customs, teachings, national style, and other aspects are involved. And as I just said. Each part is very different from everything that exists. People who have never been in contact with the Sword Family. At first glance. It's hard to accept it mentally. ”

Chang Sihao was exaggerated when he heard him. Naturally, there was a look of half-belief on his face.

Master Zheng smiled bitterly. Said: "Since the virtuous nephew asked." I'll give you an example. If it's hard to accept. Don't talk about anything else. He paused. continued: "Let's take what you are familiar with. You are on the Shanxi border. Fought against the Tatars. Experienced war. Nature knows how terrible it is. Chang Sihao nodded: "The Tartar cavalry is fast. Comes and goes like the wind. It's hard to prevent. Especially the soldiers are brave. Bow horses are proficient. All of them are very cruel. Master Zheng Meng saw that he had misunderstood. Hastily explained: "I'm not saying that Tartars are terrible. Rather, it speaks of war. War together. The people fled for the dead. On the pavement. It is they who suffer the most. If there is no fighting at the border. The people were able to live a peaceful life. You say it's good or not. ”

Chang Sihao laughed and said, "How is it not good." This is what the people look forward to every day. Zheng Meng said: "Then." Is there anything you can do to make the war not happen again? Chang Sihao thought for a moment. Some of them are difficult: "This is not easy. Reinforcing the Great Wall and sending troops to defend it is nothing but passive. Unless you drive the Tartars far away. Or wipe them all out. When Lord Zheng heard this, he said. Immediately, his body stiffened. frowned: "The virtuous nephew has a lot of murderous anger in his heart. Tartars are also living people. Father's sperm and mother's blood. Conceived in October. How different from the Han Chinese. What kind of hatred to have. so that you can say without scruples that you want to exterminate their dead race and kill them all. Chang Sihao said: "Tartars are fierce by nature. Bad things are done. Border military civilian. None of them are unanimous in their hatred. Drove away. They'll make a comeback. And there will be more brutal revenge. It's not us who are unlucky. I'm not easy to kill. Just other than that. There is no other way. ”

Lord Zheng was slightly stunned. Come back to your senses. sighed. "Tatar is an enemy country. The people are not of my race. The hatred between the two countries is deep-rooted. It can't be solved in one time. I understand. So. Alas. It's too hard...... It's too hard to ......," Chang Sihao said. It feels meaningful. Asked, "Listen to you." It seems that the sword family has a way to solve the hatred of this country. No matter how hard it is. Why don't you tell me about it? ”

Master Zheng looked at him deeply for a while. Shaking his head: "In your current state." I'm afraid I won't be able to hear me. Don't talk about it. ”

"You ......" Chang Sihao looked displeased. I thought I saw that you had the true colors of a husband just now. At this time, my mother-in-law and mother got up again. A man. It's so spitting. It's so unpleasant.

There was a shallow chuckle at the door. Xiaoqing walked in with the curtain. pretended to be disdainful and said, "Don't listen to Daddy selling it there." Actually, it's not a big deal. He doesn't say. Let me tell you. His way. It is to let us open the border. Let the Han people out. Let the Tartars, the Fan, and all the foreigners come in. Then there was a great inter-ethnic marriage. Generations down. It can make the blood of the people of the Ming Dynasty mixed. It's hard to tell each other apart. We are all brothers of the same race. Naturally, there will be no more cannibalism. The border is dead. Then there will be no more distinction between nations and between enemies. ”

She said it lightly. But it seemed to sound a thunderbolt in Chang Sihao's heart. He involuntarily pulled up and took two steps back. The back was almost against the wall. Stared for a while. "How can this be?" Is it possible to mix bloodlines? This is not possible. ”

Lord Zheng didn't seem surprised by his reaction. Shaking his head, he said, "Not really." There is not only a mixture of bloodlines. And it started a long time ago. Alas......" he exhaled slowly. There seemed to be a distant sadness flowing in his eyes: "Say it far away." During the Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Qiang, and Di were foreign tribes who invaded and established the country in the south. The formation of the Wuhu Rebellion. During the Song Dynasty, Jin Liao also occupied most of the Central Plains. The children of these women who were molested by foreigners were innumerable. Part died. Most grow up to act as slaves. Scattered among the people. Kublai Khan of the previous dynasty was the founding of the country. It was ordered that the Mongols should take the lead on the first night of the Han people's wedding. This kind of foreign race has entered the Central Plains far more than once. The mixing of bloodlines has never stopped. To this day, we are in the world of the Ming Dynasty. It is true that the Han Chinese still make up the majority. But the real bloodline is pure. I'm afraid of not much. The real Han Chinese are short in stature. Mild-mannered. Speak with an extremely archaic accent. Due to the natural disasters of the Yellow River and the wars of the past dynasties**. Constantly moving south. Nowadays, they should settle in the Jiangnan area. And it also blends the blood of the native people in situ. Because they are foreigners. Often referred to as 'Hakka'. Today, it is among the Han Chinese living in the north and northwest. Most are tall and stout. Heroic temperament. A large part of this is due to foreign ancestry. These people are all descendants of Han women who were captured and humiliated in the war dozens or even hundreds of generations ago. It's sad to say. But that's the fact of history. He paused. Look at Chang Sihao's eyes. He added: "This kind of mixed-race Han Chinese. Most of you and I are included. ”

Chang Sihao didn't say a word. His hands clawed his thighs. Keep your eyes down.

。。 He knows. What Zheng Mengzhu said was not a lie.

in their hometown. People greet each other, regardless of whether they are at the top of the list or not. is generally called "second master". "Dick". Like "Second Master." Have you eaten it? Or, "Dick." Where are you going? And so on. The reason is that Han people got married during the Yuan Dynasty. It is up to the Mongols to bud the bride. Three days of rape. Many Hermes-Epitek were disgusted by this. The firstborn child fell to his death for both boys and girls. So there will never be a boss in the family. Although the Ming Dynasty has been founded for a long time. It's long gone. But the customs have been passed down. Some of the women who were taken captive or raped by the Fan, the Tartars, and those on the border committed suicide. However, there are many more who endure humiliation and steal life. As for giving birth to children of different races. It is even more inevitable. These children, often referred to as "with a beard" or "with a calf", are numerous. They grew up under the contempt and whiteness of Hermes-Epitek. Assimilation. When he grew up, he married a poor girl. The foreign stigma and people's attention on the descendants gradually blurred. Until everything is integrated with the Han nation. Because of the lowliness of status. They usually do hard labor. Do long work. The wealth enjoyed by the upper class of Hermes-Epitek's wealthy households. Most were created for them. And when these miserable people become rich. They will be equally comfortable enslaving the same half-breeds as their ancestors.

Like other Han Chinese. They will also be plundered and mutilated by foreign races. The same will accumulate bitter hatred in the heart.

However, the situation is quite bizarre: the direct descendants of foreign races continue to cross the border. rob the wealth created by the descendants of their ancestors. They hate each other. Slaughter. And in between. It could have been considered a brother.

Zheng Mengzhu saw that he was touched. He slowly continued: "Tatar and Warat start a war. For what. Jewels are nothing more than the playthings of the upper class. Take a look. And what should not be. In fact, they tried their best to fight for clothing, livestock, grain and rice. Due to its inhabitation in a meadow wasteland. There are few mines. Therefore, they will also snatch some iron pots and other necessary utensils for life. In other words. Their purpose is the same as that of us Han people. In order to have something to eat. I have been in the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Rebuild the Great Wall. Set up nine sides. Closed off the country. It is forbidden to sell tea and iron to them. These foreigners have a hard time surviving. and uncivilized. If you don't have it, grab it. There's a lot to be done. If you can get rid of the old hatred of the past. The order to open borders was issued. Establishment of a horse market. Private trade and commerce are allowed. Then the migrants lived together with them. Open intermarriage. Let the blood of the nation be blended. Regardless of Han and Mongolia returning to Tibet. They are all like brothers. Teach it again. Obey the king. At that time, the world will be one. The war has ceased. Why worry about not welcoming the peaceful and prosperous world. ”

His heart yearned for this picture infinitely. He spoke generously and emotionally. Chang Sihao listened to it and his mind became more and more chaotic. He said: "This idea is right to level the bowl of water for the foreign Han people. It can be regarded as great compassion. Kindhearted and merciful. It's just that the end result it can achieve is good. But it's too absurd. Whose woman is willing to marry a foreigner? Who among the Han people wants to marry a female barbarian as a wife? Language barrier. Habits are different. The idea is even different. It's okay to make some deals with each other. To talk about marriage. It's not too hard. It's simply impossible. "I was stunned for a long time. Not a word.

Lord Zheng saw his thoughts. "This is ridiculous. Actually, it works. It's also possible. And now there is such a thing at the border. Have you heard of it? The name Zhao Quan. Chang Sihao immediately said: "Why don't you know." This man was a traitorous Tatar who had fled to it. Now I have been named a military advisor. Known as Bocteau. He is a famous traitor. In the army of 10,000 horses. I've seen it before. ”

Master Zheng said calmly: "It's true that this person is a traitor. But he did something good that he didn't realize. ”

Chang Sihao was surprised: "He will also do good deeds." ”

"Hmm. Zheng Meng said: "He assisted me in answering." Collected a lot of Han Chinese who fled the country. The year before last, in order to promote me to answer the emperor. mobilized people to build an imperial capital for him. It is called the Great Board Rising City. The so-called board liter. It's a fixed house. The Tartars were originally nomadic herders. Migrate with aquatic weeds. There is a plate liter. You can settle down and farm. Produce food. Make up for the lack of animal husbandry. We have a Ming tax and the people are poor. The people could not survive. Quite a few fled to Tatar. I answered to take them all in. After the construction of the big plate city. The number of Han Chinese gathered is increasing. So forty-four more cities were built. There are twelve of the largest of them. The small thirty-two. Villages are connected. Thousands of acres of land. Gradually, he became richer. Now it seems to have the atmosphere of a kingdom. War is fought for money and food. I can frequently disturb the edges. It has a lot to do with the abundant supply in the rear. There were also many Han people in Bansheng who intermarried with the Tatars. Although they are different from each other due to their customs. Sometimes there is a little bit of discord. But overall it's quite harmonious. Although Zhao Quan did this thing was a rebellious act. Not well-intentioned. But this can also be regarded as a good example of my sword family's vision. Let's look at it from the eyes of the people. Isn't that a good thing. It doesn't matter where you live or with whom. The important thing is to be able to live a stable life. What the people want. Where can I live. They will be able to put down roots wherever they are. What a country, a nation. Only the feeling of hunger and the food that comes to your mouth are real. ”

Chang Sihao's heart was shocked. As a child of a peasant family, he knew very well: Zheng Mengzhu's words were too true. For the small people. In the face of the question of survival. What personal honor and disgrace. National righteousness. It's all pretty empty words. No matter what you do. Man has to live. Gotta eat. He sacrificed his life to join the army. What is it for, killing soldiers, making war exploits, and serving the country. It's not about filling your stomach. It is said that the Ming Dynasty was founded. The Han people re-dominated the Central Plains. The people should live in peace and happiness. But what about the facts. The fact is that "since Emperor Zhu came." Nine out of ten years are famine. "Generations of emperors and grandchildren have been passed down. This pet eunuch. That traitor. This palace maid. That pension road. One is more than a bastard. The common people are miserable. I Da and Zhao Quan gave them a way to live. Can they not go. They don't have a choice.

Xiaoqing smiled: "Although I promised to do this for my own hegemony. But this open-mindedness and horizons. But I don't know how many times higher than our big tomorrow. Chang Sihao froze for a moment. Ask: "If you grow up." I want you to marry a Tartar. Will you go? Xiaoqing said: "Phew." I'm not going to get married. Chang Sihao said: "The question is here. Ordinary people are helpless if they are not forced. Neither will it do. Master Zheng sighed lightly: "Yes." I say it's hard. That's where the difficulty lies. The difficulty in this matter is in people's hearts. The difficulty is in the concept. It's not something that can be changed by a single decree. Even if it can be achieved. It also needs to be imperceptibly influenced. The efforts of dozens and hundreds of generations...... Alas. He took a long breath: "So." Sit down and talk. It's useless. Pressed for time. We can't just talk about it. It's about doing something real and real. Therefore, although the swordsmen of our alliance have all kinds of ideas like this. But it had to be put on hold for the time being. Move on to what can be done at this stage. What needs to change urgently now is the corruption of officialdom. The current situation of the people's lack of livelihood. That's why we have to start with the basics. Enrich the people and strengthen the army. Rectify the bureaucratic system. As for the sword family's ambition. I had to leave it to posterity. ”

Listening to him, although there is a little helplessness and regret. But he does not hide his pride. Chang Sihao was heartbroken. So he tidied up his clothes and re-saw the ceremony to make up for the previous loss. Lord Zheng Meng saw him like this. Holding hands and encouraging each other. While laughing: "You are not stubborn in old opinions. Able to accept and change attitudes. I'm so happy. Don't just talk about our alliance. The virtuous nephew has become famous in the rivers and lakes. But the origin is still very mysterious. Chang Sihao smiled: "I'm a country boy." There is some mystery. If the leader of the alliance wants to listen. I'll just tell you about it. "How will you get to know Chen Shengyi now? How to enter the Qin Mansion and other things have been told. But there is a precedent for Liao Gushi. To save the little boy Cheng Lian'an, he has decided to do it alone. I don't want to get involved with anyone else. I don't want Lord Zheng to think that I said it to ask for his help. It was also hidden together with Qin Ziyin's humiliation and other things. Speaking of Qin Langchuan's death. The two couldn't help but sigh again. Then he turned back to talk about the swordsman. Talk about rivers and lakes. Talk about officialdom. The interest is getting higher and higher.

Xiaoqing saw that the two of them had a long talk. No sleep, no sleep. I couldn't stay up and went to sleep. I woke up early the next morning. The two were found by the window. Still talking and laughing. Rubbing his eyes, he asked, "Didn't you stop all night?" It's really spiritual. ”

Lord Zheng Meng smiled: "The spirit is the spirit." It's just that I'm hungry again. Just in time for you to get up. Let's make breakfast. ”

Xiaoqing pursed her mouth: "You don't sleep all night." Just sit idle. Why don't you make dumplings while talking. I'll eat when I wake up. ”

Zheng Mengzhu said: "You kid." is also coquettish in front of the guests. Xiao Qing shook her little crooked pigtails and smiled: "Brother Xiao Hei is a good friend of Sister Jing." That is, my good friend. I thought of him as my own brother. How can you be considered a guest? Zheng Mengzhu said: "Okay, okay." Don't flam. Go, go, go. Xiaoqing covered her collar and said, "The water is cold in the morning." Roll your hands tightly. Pick up rice to freeze a person. Hum. What do you say hurts me. It's all fake. Chang Sihao smiled: "I'm an expert in cooking." It's up to me. Master Zheng waved his hand to stop him: "Xiao Chang." Don't listen to this girl's nonsense. She was crazy and crazy every day. Xiaoqing clapped her hands and smiled: "Daddy." Are you scared? Zheng Meng said: "What am I afraid of." Xiaoqing said: "You're afraid that the things made by Brother Chang taste 'too good'." Won the name of the worst in the world of your culinary skills. Chang Sihao laughed. Kick-off shoes.

See him like this. Zheng Mengzhu is not easy to stop again. Said: "In that case. I'll help you do it too. Xiao Qing's eyes rolled upwards when she heard this: "Hmm...... Think about it...... It seems that the antidiarrheal medicine at home is not enough for three people......"

The three of them laughed and went down to the kitchen. Xiaoqing boils water. Zheng Mengzhu peeled onions and beat eggs. Chang Sihao and dough kneading. Hold the dough while the water boils. The kitchen knife in your hand rotates like a wheel. Patches flying. It's really a "whitebait falling into the water and turning white waves." The willow leaves ride the wind down the trees slightly. "In a short time, the noodles were cooked. Zheng Mengzhu also fried the sauce. The three of them shared a table and looked at each other and smiled. Happiness knows no bounds. It's like a family.

Breakfast is over. Chang Sihao came out of the house. Look at the long steps outside covered with jade. The snow is full of snow. The temple is white-headed. Nissin clouds are high. The heavens and the earth are shaken. A dazzling sight. Immediately refreshed. Be open-minded. Think back to what I talked about that night. It's something I've never heard of before. Some of them sound unbelievable. When you think about it, it's very reasonable. Accept it. On the contrary, I feel that everything in the world is full of problems. Not ideal. Some code of ethics. It is also quite pedantic and old-fashioned. Less than a sigh. I don't feel like I'm in a different world. At this time, Zheng Mengzhu also came out of the curtain. The style of the top is simple. No flowers, no embellishments. Stick to the neat. Quite spiritual. I saw Chang Sihao standing on Xue Moli. He smiled and asked, "What is the virtuous nephew thinking?" ”

Chang Sihao embraced the wind with open arms. Take a deep breath of the snow-clear air. "I used to face the world. I always feel like an outsider. But I've listened to you. Only then did I feel the reality of being involved. ”

Lord Zheng also looked up at the sky: "Not only to participate. You have to be yourself, the master of the world. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. Master Zheng Meng patted him on the back. "Let's go." Today's morning meeting. Go with me. ”
