Although there are differences between the Yao people, it is even possible that they do not understand the language. But as long as Zhao Han has a Yao girl, he will definitely be able to get closer to all the Yao people, at least one more bond to bring ethnic relations closer!

In the Ming Dynasty, there were 857 Yao Mountains and 26 Yao Villages.

This data has not yet counted the 43 Yao Mountains in Huaiji County, because Huaiji County belonged to Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty.

If they wanted to consolidate their rule in Guangdong, the Yao people had to be appeased, and marriage was the quickest means.

And those who are familiar with Yao, if they are willing to make up their households, then they should be given normal treatment, and they can't be discriminated against at will.

The productivity of the ripe Yao is not low, not only master the terraced technology, but also the history of "mainly farming and weaving", especially good at weaving "Yao brocade". During the Zhengde period, he rebelled, and even made his own Lu bus to attack the city, which many Han craftsmen couldn't make.

Going south by boat, along the way, Zhao Han was chatting with the Yao envoys.

Then he was surprised to find that there was still Yao Village in Guangdong, and there were also big landlords in Yao Village.

Of course, these Yao villages were used to open the knife first, and in addition to retaining the customs, they have been almost sinicized, and even most of the Yao people can speak Cantonese. Directly hit the landlord and divide the land, and then establish a school, and you can immediately harvest the hearts of the Yao people at the bottom!

"Brother," Pan Maiwei suggested, "In the future, Yao officials, don't let Wu come to be the official, and don't let the people who spend money to buy the official be." They are all very bad, and every time Yaomin rebels, they are forced by these bad officials. ”

Zhao Han smiled: "I know everything." ”

Yao officials belong to the common name, subordinate to the state government, county government, and most of the official positions are governors, master books, and the like. They have no other power, and they rule the Yao people full-time.

There are three main sources:

First, individual Yao people who are attached to the government.

Second, to appease or pacify the Han people who had been in the Yao Rebellion.

Third, the local Han people who spend money to buy officials.

No matter which one it is, once you become a Yao official, you will go crazy and exploit the Yao people.

This phenomenon also exists in other ethnic minorities, who have been oppressed for a long time.

After thinking carefully, Zhao Han decided to appoint "Tianchang Gong" as Yao Chang.

The powerful Yao Chang, similar to the town mayor; The weak Yao Chang is similar to the village chief.

At the same time, in the state and county offices, there are special "pro-Yao officials". After the school was established, everything was on the right track, and priority was given to promoting the teachers of the Yao District School to pro-Yao officials.

After disembarking in southern Jiangxi, Zhao Han crossed Meiling and came to Nanxiong Mansion in northern Guangdong, where Chen Maosheng had been waiting for a long time.

Continue south.

In the cabin, Zhao Han discussed the Yao issue with Chen Maosheng, and then talked about the large number of Hakka people.

Chen Maosheng said: "The Hakka people believe in feng shui, but if they can't find a treasure of feng shui, they would rather stop the coffin than bury it. In addition, there are also phenomena such as selling graves and stealing burials, fighting for mountains and dragons, and repeatedly moving burials. Some time ago, Liu Zhu led 3,000 people to attack Xingning, and the Xingning defenders were only 3,000, and a big battle was only 6,000 people. At that time, the Hakka people in Xingning were also fighting, and in order to fight for a cemetery, the two sides dispatched a total of more than 5,000 people. ”

Zhao Han couldn't laugh when he heard it.

Two battles, fought at the same time, were both on the scale of about six thousand people. One battle is for the county seat, and the other is for the cemetery.

Chen Maosheng said: "Not only Guangdong, but also the Hakka people brought the bad habits of feng shui to Jiangxi, and brought the locals in Jiangxi bad. Ganzhou Mansion School, which teaches the book of sages, has been relocated three times in a hundred years, all out of feng shui considerations. As long as Ganzhou has not been in and out of Jinshi for many years, the local gentry will be connected to the address of the relocation of the school. ”

Zhao Han asked, "How do you think this bad custom should be combated?" ”

Chen Maosheng said: "First, we must legislate, and second, we must educate. ”

Including Chen Maosheng, many outsiders could not understand why the people in southern Jiangxi, western Fujian, and northeastern Guangdong had to stop their burials and move their burials many times.

Some people have parents who have died, and they can't find a feng shui treasure that can keep the coffin for ten years. Others, when they find a better cemetery, dig up their parents and rebury them, and some of them have been reburied five or six times. These practices are a serious violation of traditional morality, because there is a general feeling that it is necessary to "settle in the ground".

"Selling graves and stealing burials" is even more disgusting, digging out the bones of other people's graves and quietly burying the bones of their relatives in it, so that they can occupy this feng shui treasure land, and it is rumored that they can also take away the luck of the original tomb owner's family.

Zhao Han handed over the "Datong Township Covenant": "You add a few articles yourself, and add entries for non-burial and relocation of burials." ”

Chen Maosheng flipped through a few pages, and suddenly smiled: "This thing is very good." ”

Zhao Han said again: "It is also necessary to rectify the Buddhist path and crack down on feng shui magicians." All feng shui magicians must register with the government to receive a license within a time limit. Give them three months, and those who profit from watching feng shui without a license will be directly caught and mined in the mountains! When the plaque was issued, the feng shui master was warned that it was not allowed to move the people for burial, and it was not allowed to lift the people without burial. But if there is a violation, go directly to the mountains to mine! Under our rule, there are mines everywhere now, and as many miners can cram into them! ”

"If the feng shui master dissuades it, but the big family insists on not burying and moving the burial?" Chen Maosheng asked.

Zhao Han replied: "Feng Shui master can denounce, if you don't denounce, you will be caught mining." He also said, "Also, starting from this year, if there is a person who does not bury or moves the burial, his descendants shall not be allowed to become officials, and those who are officials will be immediately dismissed." Due to special circumstances, those who really need to be relocated must apply to the government for reporting. ”

"You can't be an official, this one is fatal," Chen Maosheng said, "You can add one more article, if there is a violator, you must not engage in any monopoly trade." ”

Salt, iron, tea, alum, grain...... These are all franchised goods, which must be licensed by the government, and Zhao Han stipulates that the franchise license must be renewed every ten years.

There are many types of alum, bile alum, green alum, yellow alum, white alum, etc., which are used in various fields such as pickling, cooking, cosmetics, cleaning supplies, medicinal materials, papermaking, ink making, dyeing, fireworks, smelting, and military.

Therefore, from the Song Dynasty onwards, alum was a monopoly commodity.

Zhao Han's forthcoming "Patent Law" will be printed and sent to the alum-making field to encourage craftsmen to improve the alum-making process. This thing belongs to the chemical industry, and hopefully there will be chemical talents because of this.

In addition, for the application of alum, Song Yingxing flipped through ancient books and came up with a new gadget, which can be called a weapon for inland water warfare.

Wrap gunpowder in glue paper to make water explosives packets, which are doped with lime, chili flour and other substances. The outer layer is doped with quicklime with sulfur, and the quicklime is heat-emitted when exposed to water to ignite the sulfur, and the sulfur ignites the explosive pack. The ship's stone thrower, if thrown to the surface, will explode in the water, and will explode to jump, causing lime and pepper noodles to drift all over the battlefield.

Once you have the upper hand, you can make your enemies want to die.

Among them, glue paper is very important to ensure that the gunpowder is not soaked with water.

In the Battle of Quarry Rock in Songjin, the Southern Song Dynasty used this thing, which had an unexpected effect.

Chen Maosheng also said: "In western Fujian, southern Jiangxi, and northeast Guangdong, the Hakka people mainly live here. The land in the three places is barren, the development time of the Hakka in southern Jiangxi is relatively short, and the merchants in western Fujian and northeast Guangdong are very prosperous. In these places, the division of land is actually very good, and they do not rely on farming to make a living, but it is difficult for them to forcibly divide their families. ”

Zhao Han said: "Like many big families, after separation, there is no need to live separately, as long as the household registration is separated, and the property can be regarded as public." Hakka walled building, how can you live in only one house? ”

"These measures are enough to calm the Hakka people." Chen Maosheng said with a smile.

Zhao Han got out of the cabin, looked at the scenery on both sides of Zhenshui, thought of the smooth westward expedition and southward advance, and said: "When the time comes, heaven and earth are all working together, and the heroes are not free." We are all working together in heaven and earth, is Chongzhen a hero? ”

Hu Mengtai, who followed Zhao Han south, couldn't help but sigh and said, "That Your Majesty in Beijing may only be regarded as a bitter master." ”

Zhang Bingwen said: "If the emperor is not rigid and self-serving, suspicious and repetitive, with his diligent and thrifty efforts, it can also be called 'transporting heroes to not freedom'." ”

Suddenly, Zhao Han asked Hu Mengtai: "I heard that you brought mahjong?" ”

Hu Mengtai said with an embarrassed expression: "Occasionally, my hands are itchy, and I don't invite anyone to gamble, I just play casually on the boat." ”

"I didn't blame you," Zhao Han rubbed his hands and said, "I was very depressed all the way to the boat, and I haven't played mahjong for many years, so let's play together today." ”

Chen Maosheng and Zhang Bingwen were also called, and the four of them sat around to play cards.

The back of the mahjong tile is made of bamboo, the surface of the card is carved from the horns of a cow, and the pattern is also painted in two colors, which looks very delicate.

Over the years, mahjong has spread to half of Jiangxi, western Zhejiang and western Fujian are also more popular, and the rest of the places have also become popular through merchants. Because it came from the lead mountain, it is also known as the "lead mountain card play", and it is estimated that it will spread to the whole country in a few decades.

"Four people playing cards, not counting a gamble, today's small gambling is pleasant." Zhao Han said with a smile.

"Yes!" Zhang Bingwen has been taught to play cards by Hu Mengtai.

These two secretaries are from well-to-do families, but Zhao Han and Chen Maosheng are poor, and they all live on that dead salary.

Chen Maosheng was very poor, he took the chips and said: "A chip is a penny, and I can't afford to play any more." ”

"Okay, one article is one article." Zhao Han said with a smile.

Zhang Bingwen and Hu Mengtai glanced at each other, and they were both embarrassed.

If the world is seized, Zhao Han will be the emperor, and Chen Maosheng will be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. But these two play cards, and the gambling money is calculated in "text", who can be so honest and frugal in ancient and modern rebellions?

And those northwest rogues, when they captured Fengyang, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were two people, but they fell out because of robbing eunuchs and ceremonial supplies.

Compared with the two, you know that Zhao Han can sit in the world.

"Bump! Eight Suo. ”

"Don't worry, I'm nonsense! Hahahaha! ”

There was a burst of laughter from the deck, and the fleet headed towards Shaozhou Mansion, and those Yao envoys were all on a boat behind.

Today's weather is gloomy, the sun is nowhere to be seen, and it is hot and sultry.

Zhao Han's vest was drenched with sweat, but he was in a very happy mood, waiting to go to Guangzhou to clean up the businessmen, and by the way, he personally wooed Zheng Zhilong.

As for the eight rows of Yao, tens of thousands of rebel troops have dispersed, and each row is in a beauty pageant, and they want to choose the most beautiful Sha waist girl.
