Chapter 258: Conflict
The population of the Feng Ming people is already scarce, and because of the great migration, the population has plummeted, coupled with the low number of births, even if Chenguang wants to make the Feng Ming people more, there is no way.
She also thought about letting as many Feng Ming people as possible to get on the career path, balancing the number of the three clans in the officialdom, so as to achieve the balance of the three clans, which was another means to integrate the three clans after intermarriage.
But it's not that easy to do.
Among the three ethnic groups, only the South Vietnamese have the process of reading and entering the office, Feng Ming and North Yue are in front of the South Vietnam, that is, the uncivilized barbarians, except for a few nobles who love to read and have the ability to govern the place, most of the other nobles are illiterate barbarians who only know how to eat, drink and have fun. These barbarians have been killed by the morning light, and although the few available ones have been placed in important positions by her, the number is far from enough. Ordinary people in Fengming were hungry every day when they were in Fengmingguo, and they had no leisure time to read and write, and the same was true for the North Vietnamese people, and it was simply not feasible to promote ordinary civilians into officialdom. Even if we start raising children now because of the lack of numbers, we will have to wait at least ten years to solve the current problem.
Therefore, most of the officials of the current Phuong Ming Kingdom still continue to use the original South Vietnamese officials, although they know that this will cause a lot of injustice, but because of the lack of personnel, they have to compromise.
"Mother! Mother! Cheng Mei's screams came from outside, interrupting Chenguang and Cheng's conversation, only to see Cheng Mei running in in a panic with red circles in her eyes, and said loudly with a crying voice, "Oh no! Oh no! Dad and Uncle Guo, they are fighting with Xia Laosan again! ”
Cheng Shi was startled, his face turned white in an instant, and he didn't have time to greet Chenguang, so he hurriedly stood up, followed Cheng Mei, and the two stumbled out.
Chenguang was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and thought about it, stood up slowly, walked out slowly, and then pulled the fire dance waiting outside, following the shouting and scolding that could be heard from a long distance.
On the dirt road leading from the mountains to the village, two groups were fighting, and a dead tiger with its limbs tied to a stick lay on the ground.
Chang Xi came over first, with his arms in his hands, and was watching the excitement from a distance, when he saw Chenguang coming over, he explained to Chenguang with a smile:
"I heard that the tiger in the mountains suddenly ran out, Cheng Kuan's father and others teamed up to beat the tiger to death, the one over there called Xia Laosan, those few people said that the tiger was discovered by them, it was theirs, and the tiger must be snatched away, and the two sides will fight."
"Blatant robbery?" Chenguang frowned.
Chang Xi smiled.
Cheng Kuan and Zhao Zhixue have already intervened, desperately trying to persuade peace, and want to pull the two sides apart from the fight.
After a while, Li Zheng of Shanzheng Village received the news and hurriedly brought a few people over to separate the two groups.
Probably because of the presence of Zhao Zhixue, Li Zheng of Shanzheng Village did not favor the side of the South Vietnamese, asked the ins and outs, reprimanded Xia Laosan and others, told them to get out, and then handed over the dead tiger to Cheng's father.
Li Zheng of Shanzheng Village was born with a fat head and big ears, but he has a son who is talented.
When Li Zheng warmly invited Zhao Zhixue to his home for tea, Chenguang's eyes fell on his talented son. Because she was paying attention to him, she found that Li Zheng's son paused for a while when he glanced at Cheng Mei who was standing behind his mother, and the two sides looked at each other while they were not paying attention, and Cheng Mei opened her eyes embarrassedly, her cheeks flushed.
Rizheng's son laughed.
Morninglight raised her eyebrows, and she noticed something pink.
Rizheng's son seemed to be aware of Chenguang's gaze, and looked over, but his gaze only stayed on Chenguang's face for a moment, and then looked away.
Actually indifferent to her beauty, a good boy!
Chenguang thought to himself.
At this moment, there was a sudden piercing bird cry from the mountain forest behind him, which startled the morning light, and when he looked back, he saw a flock of birds flying into the air from the woods in a jet, and soon disappeared without a trace.
The people of Shanzheng Village also noticed this scene, but they just glanced at it and saw that there was nothing wrong, so they didn't pay attention to it.
The contradiction between the South Vietnamese and the Feng Ming people was calmly resolved under the intervention of Li Zheng and Zhao Zhixue, and the Feng Ming and the North Vietnamese were very happy to get the tiger and discussed selling the tiger to the city.
So they hurriedly set up the car, and for fear of delaying the regeneration, a group of people immediately entered the city with the dead tiger.
Before leaving, Cheng's father accused Zhao Zhixue again and again, and Zhao Zhixue knew that it was not easy for them to make a little extra money, so he didn't care, but asked them to go quickly.
The conflict was resolved, and there was a new entry in the family, Cheng and Cheng Mei were very happy, because they were shocked by the morning light, the mother and daughter were very unhappy, and they smiled and invited the morning light to the house.
Morninglight followed them with a smile.
Chang Xi and Huo Wu followed Chenguang and walked back, and after walking for a while, Chang Xi suddenly asked Huo Wu:
"Did you just feel like the ground was shaking?"
Huo Wu was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and shook his head.
The group returned to the Cheng family's house.
Cheng Mei was relieved and lively again, probably thinking that today, Chenguang brought Zhao Zhi to learn, and her father's matter was easily resolved, she was very happy, so she said to Chenguang:
"Big sister, I'll make sugar water for you to drink!"
Before Cheng Kuan could stop him, he went to the kitchen in a hurry.
Cheng Kuan thought that Chenguang probably wouldn't want to eat his own things, and he was a little embarrassed, but Chenguang was curious about what the sugar water was.
Soon, Cheng Mei came back, holding a large coarse porcelain bowl in her hand, and in the bowl was a large bowl of hot red and black sugar water, and there was a precious egg lying on the sugar water.
Cheng Mei smiled and gave Chenguang to eat.
Chenguang has never seen this kind of cooking, and I think it is very fresh.
Seeing this, Cheng Kuan thought that Chenguang didn't want to eat it, and was about to say something to stop it, but Chenguang ate all the sugar water eggs and soup and water.
It's not delicious, but it's not unpleasant, it's warm and sweet.
Chenguang thought that in the Cheng family, eggs must be very precious and even she was reluctant to eat them, thinking so, she was still a little embarrassed.
Cheng Mei saw that she had eaten it all, thinking that what she had made was delicious, she was very happy, and smiled like a flower.
Zhao Zhixue, Cheng Kuan, and Cheng Mei accompanied Chenguang to visit Shanzheng Village and the high mountains near Shanzheng Village, went to several households, and learned about the living conditions of the people in Shanzheng Village.
When the sun set, Xiao Zhao came over and said that dinner was ready.
Cheng Kuan was a little cautious, and carefully asked Chenguang if he could stay and taste some coarse tea and light rice.
Chenguang readily agreed.
Before dinner, Cheng's father came back from outside happily, probably because he got a lot of money from selling tigers, brought back a lot of things, and bought a bracelet for Cheng Mei, Cheng Mei couldn't put it down, and showed Chenguang for a while.
But in the middle of dinner, Cheng Mei was absent-minded and a little restless, hurriedly finished eating, said that she was a little uncomfortable, and confessed to Chenguang again, so she went back to the room.
Chenguang is often uncomfortable, so she doesn't think Cheng Mei went back to the room because she was uncomfortable.
