Chapter 18 Adapting to local conditions
I was distracted by her, and I didn't notice what the King of the Northern Regions said to me, so I couldn't help but wave to Princess Rouge: "Princess Rouge hasn't eaten enough?" I still have it here. ”
The King of the Northern Regions was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "This is my Rouge Princess, who is still young and doesn't understand the rules." ”
I'm not young, not a few years younger than me.
When Princess Rouge heard this, she was completely unkind. I came straight and took the whole pastry plate away.
I said to Xiaocao, "Last time, the Mother Emperor gave me some fabrics, and I can't use them all by myself. You take it out for me, give it to Rouge, and let her make some clothes. ”
Xiaocao was a little unconvinced, but she only showed one expression, and the king of the Northern Regions began to excuse herself.
King of the Northern Regions: "Thank you to the princess for loving the little girl, but the daughter of the Northern Regions only has a dress before she gets married." ”
"A piece of clothing?" Xiaocao couldn't help but exclaim.
The King of the Northern Regions happily explained to her, "We men in the Northern Regions often have to fight with wild beasts, and often die because of this. Men are our main force, so we will concentrate all our supplies on men. ”
I wondered, "Even your princesses are no exception?" ”
"My daughter is just like a normal daughter." When the king of the Northern Regions said this, he was quite proud, "Everyone shares weal and woe, which is the spirit of the Northern Regions." ”
I also have some knowledge of their customs.
Men go out hunting and are prone to injury and death, so their numbers have always been small. The women suffered much fewer casualties, took care of the housekeeping in the stronghold, and of course, the main task was to give birth.
Before getting married, the father didn't love his mother, and after he got married, he would be valued for a while if he could have children, and then he would have to raise the child alone, and then compete with different women for a husband.
It's scary......
Princess Rouge stared at me and shoved the pastry into her mouth.
I looked back at her with a smile on my face.
She was embarrassed by my staring and turned and ran out of the palace. There was no politeness throughout, no greeting at all, and no words of thanks.
I pretended nothing had happened and continued to chat with the King of the Northern Regions.
Originally, there was no topic in the chat, but it may have been Princess Rouge who appeared, and while we chatted, we talked about the form of government and statecraft.
I said, "Equality is still important. Only by freely choosing what you want to do can you be resilient and last. ”
The King of the Northern Regions had a light in his eyes, and he argued with me as if he had picked up a treasure: "The strong are respected, and those slaves are incapable, just like a pool of jackals' internal organs." It is better to let the king drive him and complete the plan I have set for them. ”
I said, "Slaves complain and are overly dependent, so beware of them stabbing in the dark." ”
The king of the Northern Regions asked, "How can royal power be embodied without slaves?" ”
I said, "The ruler respects himself, existence is power, does he still need to enslave others to manifest it?" ”
The king of the Northern Regions laughed heartily, shook his head and said, "If you continue to argue like this, there will be no result. You and I are not wrong. ”
"Also, it's geographically different." I compromised and nodded in agreement, "As the Art of War says, adapt to local conditions." Policies in each place should be established according to the customs of the people, and it cannot be said that they are good or bad. ”
The king of the Northern Regions exclaimed: "It is really a great blessing for the society to have a princess in the Luan Dynasty." ”
I smiled and said, "The mother once said that after the marriage in the capital, she let me and my future concubine go to the fiefdom to make great achievements." But I don't look down on those ordinary people. ”
As I said this, I suddenly realized that the atmosphere was delicate.
When I raised my eyes, I saw that the eyes of the King of the Northern Regions were burning, and I immediately thought of the news that he had said that he would send me to kiss him.
