Chapter 1250: National Identity
After seeing the carriage leave, Lin Xian'er returned to her room, held the pipa and plucked it lightly, and suddenly thought of something, as if her buttocks were seen through by a pair of warm and gentle eyes, her cheeks were red and her body trembled slightly, and then tears couldn't help but flow down.
After she was bought from Luoyang Quyuan, she was already told what she had to do, and she was guaranteed to be able to get rid of her slave status.
Lin Xian'er was not familiar with the person who bought her to Xianyang, and only after arriving in Xianyang did she secretly see Wanwan, and then Wanwan told her the task and purpose, she didn't know Wanwan, because she was completely unfamiliar with Xianyang, after learning that the person Wanwan was going to deal with was the royal family Jiancheng Hou Zhaohai, Lin Xian'er was very frightened for a while, but Wanwan also faintly revealed that her backstage was also a certain marquis of the dynasty, Lin Xian'er finally gritted her teeth and agreed to come down for the hope of leaving the country. And Wanwan also arranged for someone to help her compose two very trendy dance songs, and successfully advanced to the first two rounds of the competition.
And today, Wanwan once again appeared in person and told her that the mastermind behind the scenes was the Marquis of Qinghe, and Lin Xian'er finally came into close contact with Chen Xu, a disciple of the Immortal Family who was admired by everyone in the world, so that she no longer had any fear and timidity in her heart.
If there is something in the world that the Marquis of Qinghe can't do, it must be something that the emperor can't do either.
Lin Xian'er felt that she had an irrepressible impulse, and she wanted to cry to express the emotions she had suppressed for twenty years, this emotion was a kind of soul shame and helplessness, miserable and unwilling, she never thought that her life would one day be related to Qinghehou.
Although Luoyang and Xianyang are close at hand, but it seems to be far away, no matter what Qinghe Hou does, it will inevitably be in Luoyang after a few days, as soon as she thinks of Chen Xu's kind apology, and then politely refused her invitation, she quickly wiped away her tears, took out the score and began to play Ding Ding Dong, her expression was focused and quiet.
This is the Qinghehou in her mind, and there has never been any discrimination because of her lowly slave status, through those soft eyes, she can see that Qinghehou's apology is sincere, not like other audiences who watch and laugh makes her feel at a loss and embarrassed.
Perhaps, I should be thankful for that monkey!
Bounced and played, Lin Xian'er had a relaxed and shy smile on her face that she had never seen before.
"Mrs. Lin, someone outside has brought you something!"
Lin Xian'er finished the song, and the steward of Qu Yuan sent in a delicate wooden box, Lin Xian'er opened it with a little surprise, and a fragrant floral smell came to her face.
"Ah, perfume~" Lin Xian'er instantly covered her mouth and exclaimed, and her face also showed an extremely surprised look.
I saw that inside the wooden box were neatly placed a box of beautifully packaged Flower Fairy brand perfume and ten pieces of soap wrapped in neatly stacked hemp pulp paper, as well as a soap box made of crystal glass and a pink silk scarf.
……
"Thank you Jianhou for your hospitality today, I will wait until I am full of wine and food, and say goodbye!"
Around the time of Shen, at the gate of Chunfangyuan, more than a dozen carriages came out under the protection of the servant guards, and the heads of middle-aged and elderly men with full beards poked out of the windows, constantly greeting Zhao Hai who was standing at the door and leaving.
"Hiccup, thank you for the food and wine hospitality of Jianchenghou, Benhou is also gone!" Chen Xu burped and turned over his horse to say goodbye, and left Chunfang Garden under the escort of Yu Wuya and a group of guards.
"Haha, Zuo Xiangyan is serious, go slowly!" Zhao Hai's face was flushed, and he laughed with wine.
And when he went out, Goku jumped off the courtyard wall and landed on the saddle and grabbed the horse's mane tightly.
"You monkey head, you will lose face today, and you will be beaten when you go back today!" Chen Xu flicked on the monkey's head with a hint of drunkenness, and his legs slammed off the horse's belly.
This banquet lasted two hours from beginning to end, except for drinking wine and eating meat, hugging a group of little ladies from Chunfangyuan, listening to dance and appreciating music, touching and pinching, nothing was done in the afternoon, and everything was wasted.
In Chen Xu's opinion, this group of princes and princes who are similar to Zhao Hai have completely corrupted and decayed to the point of hopelessness, and these people all live in mansions, sit in luxury cars, and go in and out of cars, horses, and slaves.
And now these people seem to be the first batch of targets to be enveloped by Zhao Hai.
However, Chen Xu will not take these people too seriously, but as Zhao Hai befriends more and more people, it is natural that many important ministers of the court will become the targets of his conspiracy, so it is already urgent to insert the undercover agent as soon as possible.
Chen Xu did not go home, but went directly to Qinghe Garden, found Wanwan and Shi Xuan, not only explained in detail the reason for his high-profile appearance today, but also asked Shi Xuan and Wanwan in detail about the arrangement process of the undercover personnel, and after learning that Lin Xian'er was also one of the target figures, he couldn't help but nod his head and expressed his approval of Shi Xuan and Wanwan's work.
And after Shi Xuan and Wanwan figured out the reason why Chen Xu appeared today and admitted to promoting the Oiran competition, they were both stunned for a long time before they slowly came back to their senses and pleaded guilty, admitting that this matter was indeed a huge loophole.
"Master Hou, in fact, many people are discussing and doubting this matter in private, but we can only deny it flatly, but it is not as thoughtful and far-reaching as Master Hou!" Shi Xuan smiled bitterly.
"It's not your fault, it's Ben Hou who didn't think it through at the time, but the current remedy is quite successful, I have reached an agreement with Jiancheng Hou today, and when the time comes, each will select a few, and you will continue to play according to the previous arrangement, you don't have to worry about the rest, except for Lin Xian'er, the others don't have to reveal their relationship with me, the fewer people you contact in this matter, the better!" Chen Xu also waved his hand helplessly.
"Hou Ye rest assured, in addition to Lin Xian'er, there are still six remaining to enter the third round of the competition, and in the end, at least two of them will enter the top ten and be elected as Oiran, this competition is indeed a bit hasty, if we are given a year to prepare, at least half of the top ten can be arranged......" Wanwan added with a little apprehension.
"It doesn't matter, even if there is only Lin Xian'er, it will only take two years at most to find out, so we must ensure that Lin Xian'er is loyal enough, and must not let Zhao Hai find out about the horse's feet, otherwise I am afraid that her life is in danger, and Ben Hou's plan will also be affected, and this matter is still arranged by Miss Tian!"
"Hou Ye rest assured, after the game, Hui has personally reminded Lin Xian'er, with Hou Ye's identity as a guarantee, I think she can tell the weight clearly, and Hui also reminded her not to get too close to Hou Ye, so as not to cause people with intentions to catch the wind and make Zhao Hai suspicious!" Tian Hui hurriedly said.
"Miss Tian is careful, don't deliberately arrange this matter, Zhao Hai is very eager for Lin Xian'er when he eats and drinks today, but since Ben Hou has reached an agreement with him, he naturally gets these oirans by his own ability, if Lin Xian'er deliberately avoids me, it will be suspicious, even if Zhao Hai can't get Lin Xian'er in the end, I will give it to him in the end, and I will make him smile with satisfaction, but this matter is still inconclusive, so don't ask and guess......"
Chen Xu sold a pass, no longer discussed this topic with Shi Xuanwanwan, but discussed with the two for half an hour and then wrote a very detailed publicity and promotion plan for the Oiran special issue, and asked people to send it to the newspaper to Chen Ping, so that the Oiran competition planning team and Daqin Metropolis Daily could join forces to recruit advertising sponsors, and strive to make this competition more formal and lively.
After the Oiran competition, a new round of Keju tournament will start in April, and the whole Xianyang City will continue this lively atmosphere, and only sufficient entertainment activities will stimulate private consumption and promote the development of social and economic prosperity.
The harsh laws of Daqin have suppressed the pressure of the people for too long, and it is necessary to use this way to neutralize and relax the emotions of the people.
Although it is impossible to abolish slavery, in Chen Xu's opinion, it can still be implemented in another way.
That is to enhance the identity and status of the people of all ethnic groups in China, and stipulate that slavery status is a foreign race conquered by war, which will not only enhance the cohesion of all ethnic groups in China, but also greatly enhance the self-esteem and self-confidence of the people of Daqin.
Although with the development of human civilization, nationalism has been widely criticized and questioned, but any country with dignity and self-confidence will inevitably have a relatively high sense of national superiority and identity, and a nation without a sense of superiority is easy to feel inferior, and the cohesion can also be imagined, which is also the reason why all countries in history respect their national heroes.
If Great Qin wants to conquer the entire earth soon after conquering the Six Kingdoms, then all the people must have a sense of superiority that is enough to exceed the identity of the Six Kingdoms, recognize their identity as Great Qin, and be proud and proud of this identity.
The complete abolition of the slavery system is a very important way to unite the people's hearts and boost their identity, although it does not meet the needs of feudal rule at the moment, but once this step is taken, Daqin will inevitably get more powerful support from the bottom of the people, therefore, in the entire Daqin abolition of the slavery system, Chen Xu intends to make a breakthrough from the identity of the Qin people.
However, this time still needs to wait, until a large number of alien slaves are transported back, otherwise Daqin's national strength will not be able to support such a large-scale infrastructure.
In the current Great Qin, slaves and prisoners are the main force in the construction of the entire Great Qin, but in the future, these people will be replaced by foreigners, and Chen Xu will persuade the First Emperor to look farther, such as Europe......
