"Look, everyone! It's the aunt of the lord of Yi. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Qin Xin came out for a walk by himself, and today he didn't know what the reason was, and everyone's nerves seemed to be sensitive.
"Uncle Yi!"
"Uncle Yi!"
"Uncle Yi, I heard that there is going to be a war, is it true?" A middle-aged uncle was the fastest, and it seemed to be a representative, he quickly came to Qin Xin's front and stopped Qin Xin, who was about to go out, with a little anxious look on his face.
"Yes! Yes! Is there going to be a war? ”
The people behind the uncle also chased after him one after another, and they all asked anxiously.
War, that is, war, is perhaps the second thing that worries and frightens the civilians of this era, besides hunger. But more importantly, among the three hundred people Qin Xin recruited, there were their sons and brothers.
"Don't worry! You ask one by one, and I answer one by one. Qin Xin stretched out his hands and pressed down the noise on the scene. Then there was a person in the crowd, who couldn't wait to stand on tiptoe, raised his hand and asked: "Uncle Yi, I heard that now our eldest son, second son, and third prince of Cai Guo are training soldiers and horses for the succession, so are we going to fight too?" ”
"Who are you listening to?" Qin Xin asked this person.
"That's what Shang Cai said." The other party said. This made Qin Xin a little unexpected. Who was so stupid as to leak this kind of thing? Even the people in Zheng Yi know about it, so doesn't everyone in Cai Guo know about it?
Was it Cai Hou's idea? Want to take a favorable position in public opinion first? Anyway, everyone must support the inheritance system under normal circumstances, and the behavior of the second and third sons is definitely against etiquette now, if you think about it this way, the possibility of Cai Hou is actually not completely impossible. Merely...... Cai Hou is a person who cherishes his reputation, and he didn't want to make a big deal about it before, how can he publicize it so loudly now. Or is it actually a rumor spread by someone else?
However, no matter what the specific reason is, it is necessary for Qin Xin to clarify, "We Zheng Yi ...... It's really going to be a war!! As soon as Qin Xin said, everyone was in an uproar. But Qin Xin continued to say loudly: "But! But it was not for the eldest son, the second son, and the third prince to fight for the heir, but for the future of Zheng Yi. ”
"Uncle Yi! What do you mean! ”
"That's right, Uncle Yi, why do you want to fight!"
"Fighting is a death story."
“……”
Qin Xin continued, "I'm sure you've all heard about some of the recent reforms in Zhengyi, including the establishment of the Criminal Department and streamlining internal affairs, children's schooling, and household registration. In fact! These are all fighting for the future of Zheng Yi! Obviously, Qin Xin's war has a hidden meaning, and it does not refer to a real war. So when you hear Qin Xin say this, it's a little unavoidable, the establishment of the criminal department and the registration of household registration can be said to be forceful, and it can also be related to the war, but children going to school are wars? What do you mean?
Qin Xin was not in a hurry, and then asked everyone to calm down, sat on the ground, and he explained to everyone slowly step by step.
The poems of this era like to use the technique of rising, so when Qin Xin explained, he also used the technique of rising, saying other things first, and then saying what he wanted to say.
"I'm sure I've all had that experience at one point. Some of our people in Zhengyi go to Shangcai to do business, and some people in Shangcai will look down on us. Why? Because we were born in Zhengyi. Although Zhengyi is also the city of Cai State, they treat us as hillbillies. You say it's not angry! Everyone is a commoner of Cai Guo, why should the civilians of Shangcai be one level higher than the civilians of our Zhengyi. ”
"But Uncle Yi, they are just a level higher than us. Their clothes are prettier than ours, and they have more money at home than we do. ”
"......" Qin Xin was so choked that he couldn't speak, but he still forcibly broke back, "I'll tell you, it's a big mistake for you to think so!" ”
When Qin Xin bragged to everyone, Meng Zheng and several of his personal maids also hurriedly came to Qin Xin's flickering scene. She had just heard from a maid that her uncle seemed to be surrounded, and she was still a little worried, but now that she looked, everyone was attracted by her husband's words.
"Why are we underestimated by others? That's not a question of our origins, it's that we don't have the confidence ourselves! As the little brother said, our clothes are not as beautiful as theirs, and we are not as rich as theirs. ”
"Everyone gives themselves a little imagination, if our clothes are more beautiful than theirs, our family is richer than them, and even if we encounter bullying and discrimination again, we can throw a lot of pun pun bei in their faces, saying: Lao Tzu has no money, can't you afford your clothes in Shang Cai, Lao Tzu has money. Everyone used their imagination to think what those people in Shangcai would think. ”
"Yes, they will be shocked, because even they have never seen that much money. Then, maybe the next moment will immediately wait for you like an uncle. Why? Because you have money, he needs money. Of course, I am not teaching you to use such a vulgar practice to trample on the dignity of others, I just want to tell you what we can do and how we can take back our own dignity. ”
"I call this a war without a spear......"
"Uncle Yi, why do you still need to train soldiers?" After Qin Xin finished speaking, someone asked another question.
That's exactly what I'm going to say next! Training! A lot of people think we're going to go to war, so they're worried and scared, because then they might die. No! It's going to die. But do you know that soldiers, like wealth, are also essential to a strong city...... Here I would like to share with you a sentence, you must not have the heart of harming others, and you must not have the heart of preventing people......"
Qin Xin said: "The eldest son, the second son, and the third son are not taking the heir now, I don't know." I only know that only when we have well-trained soldiers in Zhengyi can we not be bullied by others at any time. If we don't train our troops, maybe more people will die than we do in training. ”
"So! Zheng Yi's recent changes may also be visible to everyone. In fact, they are all fighting this war without spears, and since I am the lord of Zhengyi, I naturally hope that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and be well fed and clothed. ”
"I also don't want a war to break out in Zhengyi in the future, but we can't help but prepare for when a war will break out in Zhengyi in the future. When the money in your hands does not work, then the spears in your hands will come in handy. ”
"Otherwise, your money has been robbed and your face has been beaten, and when the time comes, you will come back and tell me, Uncle Yi, I was beaten, then I can only tell you, child, go back to your mother and cry well." After crying, maybe I will feel better in my heart. ”
"So! I want you to understand what I and you have done in the recent period, no matter what happens outside, for the sake of everyone in Zhengyi, these things must be done by me and the lord of Yi. This is called taking precautions, this is called being prepared, this is called taking precautions, and this is also called being prepared for danger in times of peace. Thank you! ”
After Qin Xin finished speaking, no one asked why he was training anymore, because what the lord and uncle said was also very reasonable, and they were very happy, that is, ...... When will they be able to smash money in someone's face?
The civilians who had originally gathered around listened to Qin Xin's words and slowly dispersed, and found that Meng Zheng, the lord of the city, also immediately greeted Meng Zheng, Meng Zheng nodded, and in response to everyone's greetings, he ran to Qin Xin, looking at her husband with a little pride.
"What's coming?" Qin Xin also asked when he saw Meng Zheng coming to him.
"I heard that my husband was surrounded, so I rushed to save my husband. However, it seems that it is no longer necessary. ”
Qin Xin unceremoniously pinched half of Meng Zheng's face, and raised it up, so that Meng Zheng had to tilt his head and become a bad person. Qin Xin said: "You just brought these four young ladies here, just to save your husband, it seems that the army is not enough." So actually...... You're bringing someone to see how your husband was chopped into mashed meat. ”
"Because I believe that my husband can fight against a hundred."
The four maids can't stand it anymore, can these two show their affection a little more!
After the joke......
"I don't know who spread the rumors."
Qin Xin felt that it was definitely not Cai Hou. The eldest son? Second son? The third son? Qin Xin felt the need to let Zheng Hai go to Shangcai to find out the news again. At the same time, it is estimated that in two days, he will have to repeat what he just said to the civilians of Zhengyi.
Because at this time, they can't afford to mess with themselves.
