Chapter 121: The Duke's Decision
"When the imperial court cedes the land and pays compensation, this is a loss of interests, and everyone will automatically start to think rationally and seek a way to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But once it comes to the harmony between men and women, everyone will switch to instinct, thinking that the upper echelons are just cowards, and even if they get back to the field, they will still be uncomfortable. And this is, in the words of our hometown, losing the hearts and minds of the people. Jiao Ming explained in detail.
In the late Qing Dynasty in the history of Zhong Guo, he was repeatedly defeated, lost his power and humiliated the country, and was scolded without his skin, but if he made peace with foreign devils, I am afraid that the scolding will be several levels higher. After all, with the status of the Han and Tang dynasties in all dynasties, several times they have been criticized by netizens, and Wang Zhaojun and Princess Wencheng have become some people's heart diseases.
"People's hearts ......?" Lady Ziyu pondered the new word and asked, "Please elaborate on this word." ”
"It's a vague collection of concepts, on the one hand, the inner recognition and obedience of the middle and lower class magical warriors to the decision-making level, and on the other hand, their wishes and hopes. "Jiao Ming has recognized the inequality caused by magic in this world, and the status of civilians and coolies is only slightly higher than that of livestock, so he will not pull their 'people's hearts'. Then he translated a few famous sayings about the people's hearts, and finally said the sentence of serving the people with the words of Shin Jong Guk.
Ms. Ziyu frowned and nodded, although she was still not sure, she had roughly understood this Chinese translation word. In fact, as a territorial owner, she has long felt the 'people's heart' in the management of the territory for many years, but she has not specifically thought about this thing because of her limited knowledge.
After a long time, Ms. Ziyu smiled slightly and said, "What Mr. said is indeed reasonable, but I am afraid that it is still a little bit short to persuade me to give up peace, why don't I talk about what Mr. has been doing in the past few days, I am very curious." ”
Jiao Ming's actions in the past few days have not avoided others, and it is not strange for Ms. Ziyu to ask one or two, but this way of speaking without leaving room for guarantees makes Jiao Ming very unhappy, and the matter of prospecting has really changed his mind? But since the other party asked bluntly, it was also refreshing, after all, Binglian knew the details of prospecting, and Ms. Ziyu did not ask her daughter, but asked herself directly, if she flashed her words again, it would be meaningless.
"There are also metals in my hometown, and the most common iron and steel, for example, is already the same price as vegetables, do you know why?"
Lady Purple Feather gasped when she heard this, but quickly controlled her expression and said, "I want to hear about it." ”
"Because metals do not come from alchemy, they are not controlled by the alchemists, but by mining ore and refining them. ”
"Like cement?" Lady Purple Feather narrowed.
"It's pretty much the same, but with a slight difference in the details. Jiao Ming nodded, and sold it a little: "I've been exploring near Changteng Town these days. ”
Lady Purple Feather had already guessed that most of the results were fruitless, but she still asked unwillingly, "Have you found any ore?"
Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Nothing." ”
"Sir, don't be discouraged, the whole crocodile collar is not big, it is not small, just explore slowly. Ms. Ziyu regained her aristocratic elegance and indifference, took a sip of water and continued: "As for the matter of harmony, the negotiation with Xu Qinren has collapsed. ”
"Ah?" Jiao Ming was really stunned, if the conversation had already collapsed, what were he still wasting his lips and tongue here, and even getting up early and greedy for darkness in the past few days would be useless.
"Actually, you men have a similar mind. Sighing at this, Ms. Ziyu explained the reason, but it was Binglian and her father, the crocodile duke, also felt a little awkward after hearing about the kiss, and after a night, he made the conditions clear, and our crocodile will only be a man, otherwise there is no need to talk. If the Xu Qin people can agree, the conversation will naturally collapse.
"But I'm really curious about Mr.'s reasons, so I didn't explain it in advance, so Mr. won't blame me. In the end, Ms. Ziyu got cheap and behaved, who can blame if she says this.
Jiao Ming only felt speechless for a while, so he could only reluctantly pull the corners of his mouth and smirk: "Curiosity, human nature." How dare I blame you. Jiao Ming was not angry after being teased a little, and at the same time he really admired the crocodile duke's instinctive decision, and was able to directly stir up the crocodile for such a reason, this crocodile duke is really a character.
"Then the peace talks also collapsed?" Jiao Ming asked with concern.
"That's not true, and I don't know what nerves Xu Qin people have, it seems that they are still thinking of other conditions to promote peace talks, and they contact their hometown every day. Ms. Ziyu was full of doubts, roughly explained the situation to Jiao Ming, and finally advised: "If Mr. Xu Qinren has any ideas, don't hide your secrets, you can come to me at any time." ”
Hearing that the peace talks were still going on, Jiao Ming's heart was a little relieved, but he had no clue about Xu Qinren's abnormal performance, and he just politely accepted Ms. Zi's words. The matter is over here, so I want to say goodbye: "Since it is impossible to make peace, then I won't bother you." ”
"Sir, please wait a moment, there is one more matter. Lady Purple Feather clapped her hands, and soon the door was pushed open, but it was Luo Hua who was wearing a maid's suit.
Jiao Ming looked at Luohua inexplicably, this maid dress Luohua only wore it once, and it was used as a war-free card at the blind date meeting in Shitai, and she was always wearing ordinary cloth clothes after that. I'm afraid it's not easy to wear this again today.
"Mr. has a lot of inconveniences in his daily life, and he needs to be taken care of when he goes out, and it is not a way to always trouble Xia Feng, and those inferior maids are not welcome, and sometimes they can't help if they are small. So after today, Luohua will take care of you, and if you use it well, you will give her the title of a personal maid. After saying this to Jiao Ming, Ms. Ziyu didn't care about Jiao Ming, who looked confused, and turned to Luohua and said, "In the future, everything will be at the disposal of Mr. Jiao Ming and concentrate on serving, can you understand?"
Rose's bow should be. Jiao Ming was here hesitating whether to resist or not, how could he be more tactful, but the little poems over there didn't care so much, and they had already thrown themselves into Luohua's arms and cheered. Jiao Ming secretly said that he was finished, and he couldn't refuse.
When she went out, Luo Hua was pushing Jiao Ming's wheelchair and had already started her own maid work, while Jiao Ming was uncomfortable, staring at a beautiful woman with a smile, such a novel experience is not something that anyone can accept calmly. Jiao Ming couldn't tell for a while whether his heart was more happy and secretly refreshing, or more panicked and uncomfortable, but the wood was already in the boat, and although Luohua was his servant in the eyes of others, he still had to treat him as a friend, and he should not be contemptuous.
