The cold noble son's character couldn't be maintained, the corners of Mao Xingjian's mouth twitched wildly, even if he was the prince, this was the first time in his life.

Emotional disputes!

The two groups of people who were fighting had been separated, one of the Indians was beaten miserably, both eyes were swollen, his lips were swollen into two sausages, his nose was bleeding from two noses, and he sat on the ground and hummed non-stop, but this beating was a fat Korean man who was usually the most cowardly and bully among immigrants, as if his surname was Jin, at this time he couldn't see the appearance of a handful of snot and tears at this time, and he couldn't see the combat power that he could just put the tall and mighty Sioux people down, and he knelt there and kowtowed with tears in his eyes.

"Prince, the little one has no face to live! You're up to the little ones! Sink this pair of adulterers into the lake and sink the pond!! ”

Looking further in, a hole was punched out of the gate, and a Goryeo woman who was shivering and crying in a quilt could faintly see the silhouette.

That's the way it is, if the beaten Su people have a Chinese name, it is definitely surnamed Wang, the kind of old Wang next door.

But this surnamed Jin is also a bastard, he is lazy to do when he works, and after getting the money from selling food, he is like the second generation of the later generations, and he runs to the Han family store all day long to smoke and drink and play money.

But this bastard surnamed Jin is no matter how bastard, etiquette and chastity are also one of the basic programs of Confucianism, as Zhu Zi said, starvation is a small matter, and a loss of festival is a big matter! A few years ago, Mao Jue revised the law and removed the premarital tryst and post-marital cheating from the death penalty, and only changed it to a fine, for which Mao Xingjian also made a big fuss with him, but when the matter really came to him, Mao Xingjian was also a little at a loss.

"If this happened to your clan, what would you do with this person?"

Pointing to the "old king next door" who was beaten all over his head, but still hummed and stubbornly stood up, Mao Xingjian turned his head to Su Yu and asked, but Su Yu's answer once again made him feel a little impulsive to vomit blood.

"Not guilty."

also saw Mao Xingjian's gloomy face, Su Yu hurriedly added: "The son of the Lord of a Thousand Cows, the Su people don't have so many rules as the Ming people, our women have the same status as men, men can go out to find other women to mate, women can also mate with optimistic men, as long as the woman is not forced, even her husband will not care, so in the Su tribe, the long snake is not guilty!" ”

Mao Xingjian was speechless again, on the left were those Ming immigrants staring at him, and on the right were a group of Indians, also staring at him, pinching his chin for two or three seconds, Mao Xingjian shook his head with difficulty.

"Pass Gu's order, summon the elders of the various li li and clan elders to the prince's mansion for a meeting!"

His eyes fell on the fat man surnamed Jin and the long snake of the "Old King Next Door" who was beaten and snorted, Mao Xingjian waved his hand gloomily: "Take them away too!" ”

.........

Unlike Mao Jue, Mao Xingjian likes to be high, so his court hall on the first floor of the Prince's Mansion is completely modeled after the East Palace, and on the most central three steps, there is only one of his mahogany chairs, and futons are placed on the left and right sides, so that the subordinates and clan elders of Snake City kneel and sit on the left and right, if according to Indian tradition, Han Xiaomo, the "big witch", also needs to attend, but this girl is busy preparing lunch, and Mao Xingjian does not have the consciousness to call her, and her position is vacant.

Today, the conflict broke out, and even the atmosphere of this Council of Elders was not very good, and just after sitting down, the former Great Chief Dalatra couldn't wait to shout in Su.

"The Great Elder, the son of the Lord of a Thousand Oxen, complained that the tribe had been unfair to them, demanded that they be provided with tobacco and alcohol as well, and immediately released the serpent!"

Before Su Yu could finish speaking, the terrier neck had already exploded, and he jumped up like thunder, and was about to jump over with his arms raised, shouting and scolding angrily while turning his fists.

"Shameless dog brute, you still want cigarettes and alcohol, do you want grandpa's fist?"

"Zhao Conglong!"

Listening to Mao Xingjian's roar, this rough man couldn't help but stiffen, and then pointed to the other side in annoyance, and asked angrily: "Prince, are you my Ming prince, or these barbarian princes?" ”

"Your Highness, if it goes on like this, you won't be able to do business in the next place, even if the crown prince doesn't reward this title, you will have to go back to Daming!"

is also annoyed to the extreme, even Han Jinnong, who has always been kind and wealthy, has a gloomy tone, although calm, but the uncompromising tone, Mao Xingjian still heard it clearly.

This is the biggest ruling crisis he has encountered since the establishment of Snake City, and now he suddenly understands a little bit, why Mao Jue must send him to the New World, dealing with the contradictions between factions is the basic skill of a superior, but it is also extremely difficult and tricky, a typical bad example is Chongzhen, always thinking that he is in control of everything, in vain trying to take advantage of the chaotic party struggle between the DPRK and China, and in the end the sharp party contradictions collapsed the entire Ming Empire.

Taking a deep breath, Mao Xingjian's face was extremely dull, and he said gloomily to the terrier's neck: "Lone is the prince of Snake City!" Retire! ”

"Prince! Hey~"

Shaking his head breathlessly, the terrier neck sat back again, and sent him away, Mao Xingjian's eyes fell on Han Jinnong's face again, this time, he bent down slightly: "Shopkeeper Han, let Gu come to judge this matter, can you?" ”

didn't speak, Han Jinnong just bent down in a dull way to return the salute, and behind him, more than a dozen lieutenants who were also full of anger also sat back with their bodies leaning forward and trying to stand up.

Temporarily pacifying the subordinates, Mao Xingjian breathed a sigh of relief, and once again, his eyes fell on the seat of the elders of the Tarak tribe, but he opened his mouth to ask about the case of the third elder of the Jin family and the long snake.

"Who else is in the Long Snake family?"

"Three brothers, a wife, three children, two daughters!"

The clan where the long snake belongs, the clan chief Bison did not hide it and replied one by one, this answer made Mao Xingjian take a deep breath, and then exhaled gloomily again: "The daughter-in-law of the third child of the Jin family, I am alone in this long snake." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other side of the Ming immigrants was about to explode, and even Han Jinnong was face with muscle twitches, and he wanted to stand up in a hurry, but Mao Xingjian stretched out his hand to them with a gloomy face, and said it again anxiously and quickly.

"The women of the Jin family have lost their temperament and are useless to stay, and as compensation, Long Snake must give his two daughters to Jin Laosan as wives and concubines! In the future, I must strictly abide by the rules of my Ming side! Otherwise, die! ”

This sentence made the Ming immigrants who were about to move finally relax, this verdict was quite fair, even if the terrier neck was spitting out a breath and sitting back, but on the other hand, just after hearing Mao Xingjian sentence the women of the Jin family to them, Dalatra and other sub-chiefs who were smiling exploded again, and shouted Su Yu to protest excitedly, but this time, Mao Xingjian was really not used to them, and took his single-shot shotgun and smashed it on the table.

"Enough!"

"Lone and the residents of Snake City have respected your Tarak tribe, respected your beliefs, sacrifices, and habits, and Snake City also gave you warm shelter and full food, and Lone did his best to treat the two tribes fairly, but respect is relative, while your Tarak tribe is respected, should you also respect the customs of our Snake City?"

"If you can't respect each other, if you Su people are just a bunch of scoundrels who only care about themselves and are quite unreasonable, you are not welcome in Snake City, get out of the lonely city!"

Listening to Su Yudu's slightly trembling translation, the Indian side was also quiet, respect in the social morality of the Su people, it is also an extremely important point, Mao Xingjian's accusation roared they were speechless, and more realistic, in Snake City, life is obviously stronger than starving and freezing in the ice and snow, if it is in previous years, two months of cold winter, because there may be dozens or hundreds of people who are freezing to death and starving to death, but in Snake City, not only have they not frozen to starve to death, but the newborns of the tribe have increased by more than thirty.

It's too hard to let them go!

After being silent for a long time, Dalatra turned his head and whispered a few more words to the other elders, and then nodded helplessly.

"The clans are willing to obey the ruling of the Great Chief, but the Great Chief, since there is mutual respect and there are cattle tribes who can drink and smoke, shouldn't our Tarak tribe also enjoy the same rights?"

Again, Han Jinnong's old face twitched and his eyes fell on Mao Xingjian, but this time, Mao Xingjian took out a big silver ingot from his pocket and threw it to Dalatra.

"The Sioux don't raise slackers, do they?"

"Great Chief, if there are any slackers in the Sioux tribe, they will be expelled from the clan!"

"If you have a cow, you don't raise lazy people!"

Mao Xingjian leaned forward and leaned forward, pointed to the big silver ingot that Adatra curiously took in his hand, and said in a dull voice: "So we created the thing of money, you can earn gold, silver, copper and grain by working and working, with these, you can exchange for anything you want." ”

"My people have been working hard since the spring, ploughing, and the rice you eat is what they have cultivated, and in the autumn they sell their surplus grain for silver, which they exchange for tobacco and wine, and you come in the autumn and do only the last part of your labor, so you pay you with the grain! Great Elder, you tell Lonely, is Lone fair? ”

I have to admit that the Su people are not unreasonable, and even to a certain extent, the Su people, who are simple in the primitive thinking of society, are more reasonable than the Ming people.

However, the most basic element of the superior, beating a stick to a sweet date, if these talak departments are forced too hard, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other trouble, and taking a deep breath, Mao Xingjian issued another new decree in a dull and hurried manner.

"From tomorrow, the labor of the Ming people will be released, and the work of resting the city wall will be all assigned to the Su people, but the Lone will take out the silver money from the taxes of Snake City and pay you as a reward, you want to buy cigarettes and alcohol, and exchange it fairly yourself!"

"Is it fair?"

Listening to Mao Xingjian's serious and murderous roar, this time, whether it was the Ming immigrants or the Su elders, they finally made a rare neat and tidy head.

"Obey the ruling of the crown prince/great chief!"
