Chapter 345: Sage

"The countryside surrounds the city." After I finished speaking, Duan Donglou muttered unconsciously,

At this point, Duan Donglou's surname is much higher than Duan Heng, and after a little thought, he said: "Gongzi Gaojian, Gongzi's meaning The poor monk roughly understands that this time the Mongolian army and Duan Shi's army attacked Xikou Mountain, and the poor monk also adopted the same idea as Gongzi, and did not fight hard, the poor monk took a team of more than 300 people, pretending to break through from the south, and led away the enemy's main force, and the team of people and horses entered the northern mountains under the leadership of the three apprentices of the poor monk, the mountain range is sparsely populated, the terrain is complex, and it is an excellent area for hiding, alas, It's a pity that the 300 warriors who accompanied me all died on the battlefield. ”

"Duan Donglou, it's good that you can have this thought, I will rest assured, have a good night's rest, and let the people of Miao Village send you across the river tomorrow."

"Yes, Childe, the poor monk will set off for Tianlong Temple tomorrow."

"Well, you pay attention to your own safety, and you must pay more attention to Duan Heng's safety."

"The poor monk understands."

After Duan Donglou left, I only felt tired, so I went to bed and took a nap.

After dinner, I summoned the Great Wizard Hongyuan alone in the house, I plan to use Wuhe Village as one of the bridgeheads for the future conquest of Dali, naturally I should tell Hongyuan my true identity, in order to get their greatest support,

"Sage, you have something."

"Well, Grand Wizard Hongyuan, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Sage."

"Hong Yuan, before going to Dali Tianlong Temple, I once told you that I would let the people who follow me live a good life."

"Yes, the Sage said it."

"Since the Great Wizard you regard me as your Sage, then I, as a Sage, can't make empty promises, what I said is not casually talked, this is because of my identity, maybe you are right, I am your Sage, but I also have an identity, that is, my real identity, Hong Yuan, I am the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty today."

"Emperor of the Song Dynasty." Although Hong Yuan was a little surprised, he was not as surprised as Duan Heng and the others were when they heard about my identity.

"Exactly."

Hong Yuan knelt on the ground and saluted: "Grass people Hong Yuan see the emperor." ”

"Great wizard, please get up."

"Your Majesty." Hong Yuan stood up and continued, "Your Majesty, in the hearts of the grass people, the emperor is first the sage of our Miao people, and then the emperor of the Song Dynasty. ”

"Yes, it doesn't matter."

The Miao people have always been quite resistant to the rule of the Han people, and there is a big difference between Wuhezhai and the Miao family in Xiangxi in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty, Wuhezhai is located on the border between Dali and the Song Dynasty, poor mountains and bad waters, belonging to the two regardless of the zone, and later the Mongols occupied Dali, but also ignored Wuhezhai, so the Miao people of Wuhezhai have no sense of belonging to any regime,

Hong Yuan explained: "Your Majesty, because of its location, Wuhe Village has always been under the jurisdiction of no one, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Mongols, they have never asked, which has developed the surname of Wuhe, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

"Hongyuan, this is the responsibility of the imperial court, not your fault, Wuhezhai originally belonged to the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, but the officials of the past dynasties have never cared about you, whether they are good or not, they have never reported to the imperial court, and even in the more than three hundred years of our dynasty, no official has ever come to you."

"Your Majesty, that's true."

"That's why I say it's the responsibility of the court."

Hong Yuan was quite moved in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, my Wuhe Miao Village is loyal to the sage, since the sage is the emperor of the Song Dynasty, the grass people and others will be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Okay, Great Wizard, since I have explained to you my identity, I will naturally lead you Wuhe Miao people, and even all the Miao people in my territory, to the road to prosperity."

"Please instruct the emperor how we should do it in Wuhe Village."

"Hong Yuan, you are also very clear about the current situation, ten years ago, the Mongols captured Dali, formed a siege of our dynasty, in this decade, I did not raise the Song Dynasty Dynasty, so that we can only shrink the defense, the situation is quite unfavorable to me, I have since I ascended the throne, get rid of the bad habits of the court, and now the government is gradually moving towards Qingming, I believe that in the future Song and Mongolia war, our dynasty will definitely win a big victory, this time, I went to Dali, is to unite the anti-Mongolian forces of the original Dali country, at dinner in the evening, you also saw the masked monk, He is the Sarith. ”

Hong Yuan exclaimed: "Relic, the master of Relic who has been known to everyone in Dali in the past two years. ”

"Yes, it is this person, the relics are the personal guards of Duan Heng, the third prince of Dali, his real name is Duan Donglou, I have reached an agreement with Duan Heng to jointly resist Mongolia, I will use your Wuhe Village as the contact point between the two sides, this is your first task."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The second task is still related to the military, the great wizard, Wuhe Village has a vast area, and it is located in a remote mountainous area, which will not attract the attention of the Mongols, so I plan to station an elite army here, the total strength will be four or five thousand people, under your unified command, this team is composed of three forces, one is your cottage guards here, one is the two thousand Miao warriors of the Tianjingtou people in Xiangxi, and there is the two hundred Lin'an soldiers I will send to be responsible for the training of the Wuhe army, of course, the number of your guards here is not enough, You can recruit troops and horses in the surrounding areas, and I will allocate you military salaries, and the purpose of my establishment of this army is to cross the Huangni River west at the right time, cooperate with the officers and men of our Guangnan Military Region, and take Dali in one fell swoop. ”

"The third task is to develop the economy of Wuhezhai, if you want to get rich, economic development is the only way, we can't wait until the Mongols are eliminated to develop, but should be carried out simultaneously."

Hong Yuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the second task grass people think that there is no problem, I Wuhezhai will fully cooperate, as for the third item, Your Majesty, most of our places are mountainous, not suitable for growing crops, and how to develop the economy." ”

"Great wizard, the economy I am talking about does not only refer to agriculture, but also includes handicrafts, commerce, etc., Wuhe Village is located in a hilly area, surrounded by high mountains and mountains, so it is necessary to develop the economy according to local conditions, for example, you are rich in rape flowers here, and this rape flower seeds can be used to extract oil, you can try to make finished edible oil, and then sell it to other places."

"Your Majesty, most of the villagers on both sides of the Huangni River grow rape flowers, and the rape seeds can indeed be squeezed for oil, but how can they be sold."

"Hong Yuan, do you know the Zhenxi Village Trade Center in Miao Village, Xiangxi?"

"Your Majesty, the grass people don't know."

"Xiangxi Tianjingtou people are located in the Miao Village and Wuhe Village have certain similarities, but also in the mountainous area, they are rich in mountainous products, there are medicinal materials, mushrooms, prey, etc., the original Xiangxi Miao Village news is relatively blocked, the items in the mountains are not easy to sell, and later with the assistance of the government, a trading center was opened in Zhenxi Village, and their items were successfully sold to various places through the trading center, of course, what I said is just an example, I don't know about the specific situation of Wuhe Village, you have a good discussion about this matter, The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water, expanding ideas, brainstorming, there will always be a way, for you here, I will definitely support it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, later, the grass people and several elders in the village will come together."

"Well, there is another point, I know that there is no school in your Miao village, and most of the knowledge you learn when you are young is taught by wizards, so there are very few people among the Miao people who can read and write, I plan to open a Hope School and Hope Medical Center here to help your children here study, and the people to see a doctor, what does the great wizard think."

"School, medical center, this is what we lack in Wuhe and even the entire Miao family cottage."

"Great wizard, universal education is a long-term basic national policy formulated by me, but because the savings of the treasury are not enough to support the full flowering, so it can only be implemented in relatively developed areas first, but there is a charity called the Red Cross in Lin'an, they are just the opposite of the imperial court's approach, the first thing they support is the remote and backward mountainous areas in our dynasty, the only problem is that there are not enough gentlemen to teach the Tao, I wonder, can the great wizard send the villagers with a certain foundation in Wuhe Village to Lin'an, Trained by the Red Cross, you can return to work as a teacher at school, or as a doctor in a medical clinic. ”

Hong Yuan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this is a great thing for my Miao family, and there is no problem in sending people to study, but it's just that my Wuhe Village is very poor, and I really don't have the ability to build a school and a medical hall at the moment, and I don't have the ability to pay Mr. and Langzhong." ”

I smiled: "Great Wizard, the Red Cross I am talking about is a charity, an organization dedicated to helping others established by people with lofty ideals in our dynasty who donated a penny of copper coins, and the cost of building the school and the medical center, including the remuneration of Mr. and Lang Zhong, is paid by them, of course, you also need to support manpower when building the school and medical center. ”

Hong Yuanxi said: "This is no problem, the emperor, the Miao family of Wuhe Village on behalf of the grass people thanked the emperor." ”

"Great wizard doesn't need to be polite, no matter how you say that I am your sage."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Hong Yuan, I have set up a department called the Department of Nationalities in the court, which is in charge of Tian Zuiyan, the eldest son of Tian Jingtou, in the future, you Miao people, including any ethnic minority brothers in my dynasty, if you encounter a problem that the local government can't solve, you can go to Lin'an to find him for coordination."

"That's a good dare, the emperor deserves to be my Miao people, no, he should be a saint of the world."

"This nature, under the whole world, is not the king's land, since they are all my people, of course I will treat everyone equally, and I have the obligation to let everyone live a good life."

Hong Yuan listened, grateful, and knelt down respectfully and said: "The grass people have thanked the emperor again, and the grass people have sworn to follow the emperor to the death, long live the emperor." ”

"Great wizard, please get up, this is not the court, there is no need to be polite."

"Yes, the emperor, the emperor is tired all the way, so please rest early."

"Well, I'm really tired, Hong Yuan, my identity outside is the owner of Lin'an Shifeng Commercial Bank, Huyan Gongzi, you can also call me like that."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the grass people understand, and the grass people will retire first."

After Hong Yuan left, I fell asleep unconsciously under Fang Ling's massage.

I had thought that after a night's rest, I would be able to leave for the next day, but when I woke up the next day, I realized that it was late in the evening, and I had slept for twenty hours, about the longest time in my life.
