Chapter 200 is man-made

Tian Zuiyan heard me mention the matter of the Miao family, remembered the purpose of his trip, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this incident my father did violate the law of my dynasty, and the grass people asked the emperor for the crime on behalf of the father, and asked the emperor to surrender the crime." ”

"Get up and speak, I don't want to punish your father with my heart, but your father did break the law, and he thought that there was a cause for the matter, and it did not cause a great disaster, and your father can repent in time, so punish your father for helping the villagers of Zhenxi Village to build an aqueduct together."

Tian Zuiyan stood up and thanked him: "Yes, the emperor, thank you for your grace." ”

"Tian Zuiyan, you are a Miao person, but you are familiar with the books of the Han people, I came to ask you, what do you think of this Han and Miao dispute that happened in Jishou?"

"Your Majesty, the grass people think that this time is just a manifestation of the intensification of the contradictions between the two sides. The dispute between Han and Miao lasted for thousands of years, and the grass people believed that there were three reasons for the root cause. ”

"Three points? Let's hear it. ”

"First, the legacy of history, due to the long-term unequal status of the Han and Miao peoples, the two sides are deeply estranged; Second, the government is biased in handling things, emphasizing Han over Miao, which makes Miao people lose trust in the government; Third, most of the Miao people live in remote mountainous areas, and their economy is not developed enough, and the gap between the rich and the poor between them and the Han people is widening. ”

"Well, that's a good point. Tian Zuiyan, in your opinion, how should you treat it? ”

Tian Zuiyan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people haven't thought about it carefully before. This time, when Lord Wen was in Detam Village, he told us about the emperor's instructions on the ethnic issues between Miao and Han, and the grass people believed that as long as they could follow the equality that the emperor said, other matters could be slowly resolved through negotiation. ”

"Equality is a prerequisite for dealing with ethnic issues." I nodded and said, "There are many ethnic groups in my dynasty, especially in the southwest of my dynasty, where there are dozens of ethnic groups, large and small. Since Emperor Taizu unified the world, these ethnic groups have become the ethnic groups under the rule of my Great Song Dynasty, and they are all my people. In dealing with the national question, I will first show the world that all ethnic groups in our dynasty are equal, and this is my supreme instruction on the national question. All ethnic groups have the same rights and obligations, as well as the right to religious belief and living customs, and live together under the unified law of our dynasty. As long as I am a subject, I will treat them equally. Under this premise, we will formulate a series of preferential policies to support ethnic minorities in remote mountainous areas, such as encouraging them to come out of the harsh mountainous areas and establish new homes, and for example, implementing tax policies to encourage them to use local resources, or farming, or doing business. Just like your Deram Village, there are many herbs around, you can set up a traditional Chinese medicine collection and processing workshop, process Chinese herbal medicines, and sell them to the whole country, as well as your Miao family's gold and silver jewelry, etc., you can also process and sell to various places or even overseas, if you do well, I think that just a few processing workshops are enough for your whole village to live a life of food and clothing. ”

I said it very bluntly, Wen Tianxiang, Tian Zuiyan and others can understand my general meaning, simply put, it is equal treatment and economic development, Tian Zuiyan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people have thanked the emperor for his great kindness on behalf of the Miao people." ”

"What I said is not only for you Miao people, under the premise of equality, all ethnic groups can develop together, have enough food and clothing, in order to achieve the great integration and unity of the ethnic groups of our dynasty."

I looked at Tian Zuiyan and continued: "The national issue is one of the important factors for the internal stability of our DPRK. The DPRK is a multi-ethnic country, so this is a long-term political matter. Looking back on history, the ethnic relations during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty were relatively harmonious, and we should learn from it. At that time, the ethnic policy conformed to the integration of multiple ethnic groups, making it a positive factor in mobilizing unity and harmony among various ethnic groups, laying the foundation for consolidating the unity of a multi-ethnic country, and also creating favorable conditions for accelerating the social and economic recovery and development in the early Tang Dynasty. ”

Wen Tianxiang nodded and said: "Well, what the emperor said is extremely true, the scene of Chang'an in the early Tang Dynasty was prosperous, and all kinds of races converged and merged with each other, and the era was prosperous. ”

"Yes. Of course, this is also mutually reinforcing, the stable environment has created the strength of Datang, and the strength of Datang has also ensured the integration of various ethnic groups and the stability of the environment. To this day, we will gradually build a strong, prosperous, harmonious and prosperous Great Song Dynasty, in which ethnic harmony is also an integral part of the basic national policy of our dynasty. ”

"Your Ministers understand."

"The grass people understand."

"Tian Zuiyan, let's take a look in Lin'an first, and you can learn more about the government affairs of the DPRK and China from your brother-in-law."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tian Zuiyan naturally didn't know why I wanted him to understand government affairs.

"Song Rui, this reform of the provincial system has been announced to be handed over to the Government Council for implementation, with the assistance of the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Households, and you will be responsible for this matter."

"Obey."

Wen Tianxiang felt my trust in him, but he felt that the burden on his body was very heavy. The implementation of the provincial system involves thousands of local officials, and the question of their fate and retention will be an extremely large and complex project. Wen Tianxiang, who is familiar with history books, knows very well that China's officialdom is complicated, and officials are the most difficult to serve, and they can only go up but not down. Of course, Wen Tianxiang also understands that if this matter is handled well, then the position of president of the Government Council will belong to him, and the real power of this position is no less than that of today's Prime Minister Jia Yidao.

"Wen Zhang, the injury is okay, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's okay."

"Well, you said that you will take three hundred young guards to the former residence of the first emperor in Shanyin County, Xiahuiji. I've written down the details in this bag. ”

Wen Zhang took it and said, "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

"Xiao Qi, you go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and ask the officials of the Archives Department to find out the provincial examination papers of Tian Zuiyan, I want to take a look." After Wen Tianxiang and the others left, I said to Xiao Qidao.

"Yes, official."

"If it's suitable, let him go to the Department of Ethnic Minorities of the Ministry of Households." I seemed to be saying to Xiao Qi, and it was like talking to myself.

Inside the Temporary Imperial Palace of Mongolia.

Hao Jing asked, "Great Khan, have you decided?" ”

Kublai Khan did not hesitate to say: "Well, emperor, Ben Khan has four reasons for doing this. First, it made the Song people feel that in the future, the main direction of our Mongolian attack will be in the Luzhou area of Huainan West Road, and the Song Dynasty army in the Luzhou area itself is relatively weak; second, since the pacification of Ali Buge, the sons and daughters have been a little lax, and it is time for them to move their muscles; Thirdly, after the failure of the Four Battles launched by Lord Shenzun, it seems that there has been a blow to our self-confidence, so Ben Khan also needs a victory to boost morale; Fourth, the Song people have locked you up for five years, and Ben Khan should also be angry for you. ”

"Thank you for the kindness of the Great Khan. Great Khan Shengming, this matter can be done. ”

"Haha, of course, Ben Khan is just a small test, and it is not the time to win the Southern Dynasty in one fell swoop."

"The Great Khan advances and retreats in moderation, and he admires it."

"Emperor, the timing of my Mongolian attack depends on your internal reform."

"Great Khan rest assured, up to three years."

"Well, since the emperor came back, I have been moving forward in an orderly manner towards internal affairs, and Ben Khan is very relieved about internal affairs."

"Great Khan, Emperor."

While the two were talking, they heard a voice coming from a distance. Immediately, Yin Tianya walked in from outside the house.

In the whole of Mongolia, the only one who can directly meet the Great Khan without notification is the Tianya God Venerable Yin Tianya.

Kublai Khan smiled and said, "Divine Venerable, sit down." ”

Hao Jing hurriedly stood up and bowed and said, "Hao Jing has seen Lord Shenzun. ”

"I've seen the Great Khan, please sit down." Yin Tianya sat down and said.

"God, Ben Khan is discussing with the emperor about attacking Luzhou in the Southern Dynasty. At present, there are different views in the military, believing that the time is not ripe and that it is inevitable that they will be caught aware. How does the deity view this? ”

"The deity agrees with the Great Khan's policy." Yin Tianya said, "From the celestial phenomenon, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty flickered, and the will of heaven seemed to be impartial, so the deity thought that he could only start from a small age, and gradually hit the life of the emperor star of the Southern Dynasty. As for whether to startle the snake, it is too cautious and cautious. ”

Kublai Khan smiled heartily: "Yes, with the support of the gods, Ben Khan is completely relieved." Since the celestial phenomena show a neutral posture, it means that the calculation of victory or defeat is a matter of human beings. My Mongolian boy is invincible, and he is bound to sweep [***], how can the little Southern Dynasty block the power of my iron horse. ”

"It's a good thing to be man-made." Yin Tianya praised.
