"Could it be that my sister has no resentment towards the Mu family?" The young man snorted and lowered his head again.

"The Mu family is looting the people in Yunnan, and I am also angry about this. But think about it calmly, the twelve generations of Qianguo Gong also have good and bad, some people do evil, and some people also do good things for the benefit of the country and the people. Now, Mu Tianbo is far away in Myanmar, and he will no longer be in the old days. My stupid brother, when do you want to go to Burma and kill him? As soon as the words fell, the speaker burst into laughter like silver bells, and the young man's face turned red at the joke, and his head twisted around, but he did not lift up.

Duan Wan'er took two steps, put her hand on her younger brother's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Let's talk about our Duan family, some people say that I am a princess, I don't refute it, and I don't take it seriously." What about you, saying that you are the royal family of the Duan family, have you ever thought about being the king of Yunnan? ”

"What kind of king should you be when you open a tea shop?" The young man tilted his head to the side and said angrily: "I just want to fight for my ancestors, so I studied and practiced martial arts." ”

"Fight for our ancestors, and let us white people raise their eyebrows." Duan Wan'er's eyes lit up, and her voice rose, "Han people are expensive, white people are cheap." How so? Because white people have no official name, because white people shrink and flee. Why should other tribes have a place to live, but I, a white man, should be scattered all over the place? ”

The so-called white people are the current Bai people. The ancestors of the Bai nationality, the historical books of the two Han Dynasty are called Kun (Mi) Ming; During the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasty, it was called Suo and Planing; In the Tang and Song dynasties, it was called Heman, and the lower Yi was called; In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, they were called servants and whites; After the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was called a private house.

During the Tang Dynasty, the rise of the Nanzhao was a political force that brought together the different tribes of the early Bai people in the Pan-Erhai region. Everyone traveled freely within the Nanzhao under the unified regime, and gradually eliminated the differences in culture and dialect between the tribes. After the Southern Zhao, the Dali State was established. Later, the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty conquered Dali, and in view of the great influence of the Bai people, the Mongols continued to appoint the Duan royal family to govern Yunnan. That is, the era of the section governor.

More than 200 years ago, the army of the Ming Dynasty conquered Yunnan, destroyed Dali, and slaughtered the Bai nobles. The white aristocrats who survived by luck hid in Tibet, changed their names and surnames, and survived. In order to escape persecution. Many whites pretended to be Han Chinese.

Later, the imperial court's imprisonment and oppression of whites began to loosen, but the consciousness of "Han people are expensive and white people are cheap" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The self-respecting white people did not recognize this distinction between the noble and the low, so they invented the term "Minjia" for their interactions with foreign races, and internally they also called themselves "white sons and white women". It means that the people are white, and the officials are Han, and there is only the difference between the officials and the people, and there is no distinction between the high and the low. It is precisely because Mu Ying, the ancestor of the Mu family, killed a lot of white people when he conquered Yunnan. So white people have a grudge against the Mu family.

After a hundred years of ethnic assimilation and racial dilution policy of the Ming Dynasty against the Bai people. The Bai nationality has suffered serious attrition and is becoming more and more dispersed, and now it is mostly in the Dali and Erhai areas, and in terms of numbers, it has become a real ethnic minority. However, the cultural foundation of the white people is relatively solid, and it is easy for them to widely participate in the social life dominated by the Han under the new order, such as taking the imperial examination and becoming officials, especially the descendants of the former Dali nobles of Duan, Gao, Yang, Zhao, and Li.

"His Highness Min is here. And there is the ambition of reviving and restoring sight, if our clan can help it. Is he stingy in the land of other countries? The more Duan Wan'er spoke, the more excited she became, she reached out and patted her brother's shoulder, and said, "When I go to clean up, I will go to see His Highness." ”

"Sister-" Duan Zhiying still wanted to persuade, but saw that her sister had already pushed the door out, so she had to helplessly put down her half-empty hand.

"The name of the princess is available." The old man let out a long breath. He said in a deep voice: "Although it is difficult for the clansmen to gather suddenly, it can be done in time. ”

"You still need to get the approval of His Royal Highness Min before you can call on the clansmen!" The middle-aged man sighed and said no more.

Duan Wan'er returned to her room. Peel off the fake leprosy scars, carefully wash off the dust and plaster on your face, wash and dry your hair, and then sit in front of the bronze mirror and apply light makeup. Then he pulled out a wooden box from under the bed, lifted the lid, and figured out what to wear.

If you are an ordinary white girl, she wears a white blouse, a red shoulder or a light blue shirt with velvet and black shoulders, and the silver jewelry of "three whiskers" and "five whiskers" is hung on the right knot, and an embroidered ribbon is tied around the waist, and butterflies, bees and other patterns are embroidered with black soft thread, and blue wide pants are worn under the feet. The headdress has the meaning of "wind and snow moon", the hanging tassel represents the wind of Xiaguan, the gorgeous flower ornament is the flower of Shangguan, the white of the top of the hat is the snow of Cangshan, and the curved shape is Erhai Yue.

Duan Wan'er picked up the national costume and hesitated, thought for a while, put down this set, and picked up other clothes. This set of clothes is very simple, with a snow-white pleated skirt, a small dark purple collar gown, hair is scattered, a golden hair ring is tied on the top of the head, and a jade belt is tightly tied to the waist. It is not an expensive costume, but it is commonly used by the princesses of Nanzhao Dali Kingdom in ancient books, showing an elegant, fresh and noble temperament.

After cleaning up, Duan Wan'er took a photo in front of the mirror again, sorted out the details, and walked out.

"Sister-" Duan Zhiying couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw her sister's dress, and hesitated: "You, dressed up like this, so beautiful, don't you want to ......"

"Don't speculate." Duan Wan'er's face turned red, she glanced at her younger brother, turned to the other two and said, "Elder Gao, you and Zhiying will settle elsewhere first; Uncle Gao, can you accompany me to see His Royal Highness Min? ”

The middle-aged and the elderly both nodded, understanding that Duan Wan'er was doing this just in case, so they started to act separately.

"Sister, be careful!" Duan Zhiying followed Elder Gao for a few steps, and then turned around and admonished uneasily.

"I know, you don't have to worry." Duan Wan'er beckoned, then turned around and walked, her back straight, and her face showed an unruly arrogance.

"The Tatars entered Yunnan, poisoned the living beings, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil...... Everywhere there is no fire, no one is free from plunder. If food, clothing, property, and livestock are robbed, it goes without saying; In addition, the men and women were all taken into captivity, resulting in the separation of military and civilian parents, brothers, husbands and wives, and children, which was unspeakable...... The premises were turned over, and the houses were burned and demolished, so that people had no clothes, no complete skin, no whole mouth, and no one could complain. The army and the people are hungry, and there is no one for hundreds of miles...... Since Pangu opened the world, the catastrophe of the people of Yunnan has not been more than this. This Cheng prince and general, Shi Nong and industrial and commercial people have the same hatred of the enemy, and they swear to fight to the death, and the autumn of the whole seed is also ......"

"Good." Zhu Yongxing put down the text and praised: "Mr. Jin is extraordinary, and he is also talented. ”

"Your Highness has won the prize." Jin Weixin's face was expressionless, and he said: "The lower officials are weak scholars, they can't carry a knife into battle, and they are selfish, and they are useless for the benefit of their tongues. ”

"There is nothing else for a scholar to serve the country, but a pen in his hand is like a knife." Zhu Yongxing shook his head and retorted: "Mr. Jin doesn't have to be arrogant, he can change his mistakes, and he is very good." If you talk about far-sightedness and strategic vision, you are not a good staff; If you govern the government and secure the people, I don't know if you can do it and benefit one party? ”

Jin Weixin was stunned for a moment, Zhu Yongxing's words seemed to have the meaning of reuse, but Zhu Yongxing exposed his privacy in public that day, so he couldn't get off the stage, and he lost Li Dingguo's trust, and he inevitably resented in his heart. Although Zhu Yongxing persuaded him to avoid the fate of being killed by the rod and walked with the army, this knot in his heart could not be untied in a while.

The reason why Zhu Yongxing saved Jin Weixin was also because his mind had changed. Selfish for selfishness, this crime is not easy to punish, so it is obviously too heavy to kill with a cane. In particular, Jin Weixin, a famous scholar in central Yunnan, once said that the Three Kingdoms aroused Li Dingguo's loyalty, and broke his family to resist the Qing Dynasty, and followed the defeated army of the Ming Dynasty to the border, which can be regarded as meritorious and hard-working.

Seeing that Jin Weixin didn't speak, Zhu Yongxing was not in a hurry, motioned for Jin Weixin to sit down, and said: "Mr. Jin is from Yunnan, so tell me about this matter in western Yunnan!" ”

Jin Weixin hesitated, arched his hand, and said, "I don't know what His Highness wants to ask?" ”

"Let's talk about this mineral first!" Zhu Yongxing seems to be casual, but it is something he always pays attention to.

Jin Weixin pondered for a moment and said: "Yunnan Province has a developed mining industry, but it is also prone to disasters. The original fixed amount of mine taxes was already chaotic when Xizong, there were small taxes in addition to the big taxes, and private taxes in addition to the regular taxes. People often become thieves because they avoid taxes, and they become thieves because they do money. ”

"I don't want to fish and exploit the remnants of the people." Zhu Yongxing pondered for a while and said: "However, if there are many officials, there will be cheats, and there will be good governance, and I am afraid that the officials will deceive the superiors and subordinates, and fail to benefit the people." If the prefecture and county make public government affairs, the amount of taxes and grain collected, and where the money and grain are used, they will all be regularly displayed to the people. In addition, there are Dengwen drums, Yan'en boxes, and admonition boxes, and there are supervision departments to supervise, which may make officials dare not act rashly. ”

"Your Highness is wise, this method is feasible." Jin Weixin didn't know whether it was a compliment or a perfunctory, and said briefly.

"I've heard the phrase 'no mine, no return', do you know what it's like?" Zhu Yongxing took a pen and wrote on the paper as he continued to ask.

Jin Weixin didn't talk about it, but he was afraid that he would be looked down upon by Zhu Yongxing, so he had the upper hand in showing his ability, so he talked about it eloquently.

As early as the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of Hui soldiers who entered Yunnan began to carry out military reclamation in the garrison areas, laying the foundation for the Hui people to engage in farming. There were many craftsmen in the Hui army who entered Yunnan, and after settling as a citizen, they began to engage in handicrafts and mining. Yunnan Huihui's handicraft industry mainly has two categories: "wearer" and "blacksmith", "wearer" can make leather and produce all kinds of cattle and sheepskin goods; "Blacksmiths" can make guns, metallurgical forging and produce all kinds of hardware.

Relying on exquisite technology, the Yunnan Hui have formed a particularly prominent position in the mining and metallurgical industry, whether it is mining and metallurgical technology, silver, copper, tin output, or the number of mining and metallurgical workers, the Yunnan Hui are in a leading position in the province.
