Chapter 224: We Are All Chinese (I)
When he was first conquered by the Huaxia Empire, Wan Nuo actually thought the same thing in his heart. Vano thought that no matter who ruled him and them, their lives would not change much, so he was numb.
But what Wan Nuo didn't expect was that after the Chinese Empire conquered them, it made them change their customs, and Wan Nuo disagreed.
Because Vano's tribe was conquered by Rurik before, but they still maintained the original life and clothing customs of their tribe.
But after the Chinese Empire conquered the Rus' region, they directly had to change their original life and clothing customs, how could Wan Nuo agree?
However, Wan Nuo found that the friends around him gradually changed into the clothes of the Chinese Empire one by one: the right side of the hair bundle.
Wan Nuo didn't understand why his friends were willing to change, could it be that the Huaxia Empire threatened them? But Vanno later found out that it wasn't.
Because Wannuo's own friends have a sad face every day, but when they change into the clothes of the Chinese Empire and change customs, the sadness on their faces is gone, and they go out every day with a smile on their faces.
Wan Nuo really couldn't figure it out, and one morning, Wan Nuo pulled his friend and asked, "Aren't you sad after you change into Chinese clothes and customs?" ”
Wan Nuo's friends all waved their hands mysteriously and smiled at him and said, "When you also put on Chinese clothes and tie your hair, you will know why we are so happy every day." ”
In fact, the officials of the Chinese Empire often came to Wan Nuo's house to look for him and persuade him to change his customs, but Wan Nuo stubbornly wanted to maintain his original life and clothing customs.
Many times the officials wanted to forcibly change the customs of Wannuoge, but His Majesty the Emperor specially ordered that the officials were not allowed to carry out the customs of the people by force, and His Majesty the Emperor wanted the people to change the customs spontaneously.
Therefore, the officials of Dingde County, Luozhou, the Chinese Empire, could only helplessly go to do mental work for Wan Nuo every two or three days for such a stubborn person.
It's a pity that Wan Nuo has been reluctant to see them, every time the officials go to visit Wan Nuo, Wan Nuo will close the door, or run outside to hide from the officials, and finally these officials think of a way, to ask Wan Nuo's friends to persuade Wan Nuo to voluntarily accept Wan Nuo's customs.
When Wan Nuo's friends heard the officials' request, they confidently patted their chests and assured the officials that they would definitely persuade Wan Nuo to voluntarily accept the customs of the imperial court and make Wan Nuo a real Chinese.
So Wan Nuo's friend found him and persuaded Wan Nuo to accept the country's customs, but Wan Nuo thought that his friend should be threatened by the officials of the Chinese Empire.
However, Wannuo's friends told him that they all came to persuade Wannuo voluntarily, and that no one threatened them.
Wan Nuo looked up and down at his friends in Huaxia costumes in confusion, at this moment Wan Nuo's heart was full of questions, he really couldn't figure out why his friends admired the Huaxia Empire so much, what was so good about the Huaxia Empire? It was possible to make his friends volunteer to become lobbyists to persuade him.
Seeing the puzzlement on Wan Nuo's face, Wan Nuo's friends smiled and said to Wan Nuo, "Wan Nuo, don't you understand why we voluntarily came to persuade you on behalf of the imperial officials?"
“……”
Vano didn't speak, he just nodded and looked at his friends.
The friends didn't explain Wan Nuo's doubts first, they looked at Wan Nuo and asked, "Wan Nuo, didn't you ask why the sadness on our faces is gone, why do we have a smile on our faces every day?" ”
"yes, why is that?" Vano looked at his friends suspiciously.
Wannuo's friend said with a smile: "Hehe, because we are now Chinese, when we joined the Huaxia Empire, we found that our life at the beginning and now is simply a heaven and an underground, thanks to His Majesty the Son of Heaven, it is our honor for us to become the people of the Chinese Empire and the people of His Majesty the Son of Heaven." ”
When Wan Nuo heard that his friends admired the Huaxia Empire so much, he couldn't help but have a trace of curiosity about the Huaxia Empire, and Wan Nuo asked with a trace of doubt: "Why?" I don't think you've changed much except for smiling and wearing Chinese clothes every day!! ”
One of Wannuo's friends beckoned: "Hehe, the change is big, let's go, let's take Wannuo to our house to change!" ”
"Yes, yes, Wannuo will take you to visit our home!" Another friend of Vano took his hand and walked outside.
In this way, the friends took Wannuo to their doorstep, Wannuo looked at his friend's home, and asked in disbelief: "This, is this really, really your home?" ”
It's no wonder that Wan Nuo doesn't believe that his friend's home is different from the dilapidated house before, his friend's previous house is worse than Wan Nuo's house, but now his friend's home has snow-white walls, blue and black tiles, and pink walls and tiles.
That's right, pink walls and tiles! For the sake of the integrity of the country, Li Shanglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, built the houses of the common people of Luozhou, Luzhou, Wanzhou, and Taozhou conquered by the Chinese Empire into buildings in the form of Jiangnan with white walls and tiles.
The reason given by Li Shanglong, the official document handed over to the imperial court, is that because the water conservancy of the four prefectures of Luozhou, Luzhou, Wanzhou, and Taozhou is developed and the waterways are smooth, it is most in line with the whitewashed walls and tiles in the south of the Yangtze River.
It's just that Li Shanglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has widened the walls of buildings in the four states of the Chinese Empire, so that it can play a role in keeping warm.
Because the Chinese Empire is located in a cold region, different from the warm climate in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Shanglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, will build it like this, and the people of the Chinese Empire have beds and kangs, and there are also honeycomb coal stoves, so the people will not feel much cold in the house.
In addition to reinforcing the walls, Li Shanglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, also dug deep foundations to prevent the collapse of houses due to frost heaving and thawing of the frozen soil in winter.
I have to say that Li Shanglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, thought very thoughtfully, and after Wan Nuo walked into his friend's house, he found that his friend's room was actually very warm.
Not only that, Wan Nuo also found that the rice jar in his friend's house was full, Wan Nuo was very surprised, you must know that they were all full and hungry at the beginning, but there would be so much food in the friend's house.
Wan Nuo frowned and looked at his friend: "Why do you have so much food at home, I remember that there should be no food at your house, right?" ”
"Haha, these grains were given to me by His Majesty the Son of Heaven after I joined the Huaxia Empire!" Wan Nuo's friend smiled and patted Wan Nuo's shoulder, and then bowed ninety degrees to the position of Meijing, the imperial capital to the west, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven!" ”
