The two Lingnan people sent by He Lianfang were authentic Lingnan natives, not criminals exiled to Lingnan. They are the people of the Shangling Yinshan tribe.

Lingnan is divided into upper ridges, middle ridges, and lower ridges, which are divided according to the topography. In Lingnan, the locals hardly say that they are from such and such a city, they only say "I am from a certain tribe in Shangling", or "I am from a certain tribe in Xialing".

Although it is divided according to the topography, the upper ridge is richer and stronger than the middle ridge, and the lower ridge is naturally the poorest in Lingnan.

The reason why the two people from the Yinshan tribe spoke the official language of the Great Zhou was because the people of their entire tribe were associated with the Central Plains, that is, the criminals who were exiled to Lingnan.

The Tusi of the Hidden Mountain tribe is a very resourceful person and very open-minded. She is not like the Tusi of other tribes, old-fashioned, stubborn, pedantic, and has great hostility towards the Central Plains.

She is very interested in and appreciates the culture, business, and etiquette of the Central Plains. Therefore, she has always encouraged the people of her tribe to interact more with the Central Plains people and learn the good things of the Central Plains people.

Obviously, her policy of dealing with the people of the Central Plains was right. Over the years, under her management, the Yinshan tribe has changed from a backward and poor small tribe to the largest tribe in Shangling.

For the Tusi of the Yinshan tribe and the Central Plains people, the people of other tribes looked down on it very much, and they all agreed that it was very shameful for the Yinshan tribe to do this. In fact, they looked down on the Hidden Mountain Tribe on the one hand, and on the other hand, they envied the Hidden Mountain Tribe for becoming stronger and stronger.

The Tusi of the Hidden Mountain tribe didn't care at all about the other tribes disliking them. In her opinion, people are alive, rules are dead, and nothing is more important than filling your stomach. The most important thing in her heart is to keep the people in her tribe fed and clothed. If she sticks to a layer of unchanging rigid rules for the sake of face, and doesn't care about the life and death of the people, then she will be a very failure.

Under her management, the people of the Hidden Mountain tribe basically spoke the original dialect. Not only that, but most people can also read and write, of course, in the Central Plains. Many of them also studied books such as the Analects and Mencius.

The local tribes in Lingnan have their own languages, but they do not have their own written languages. They write things by drawings, not words.

The people of the Yinshan tribe learned to read and write from the Central Plains people who were exiled to Lingnan, and recorded everything in the Central Plains script. Since learning the Central Plains script, the people of the entire Yinshan tribe have become more and more obsessed with the Central Plains culture.

After the Tusi of the Yinshan tribe learned some things about the Central Plains, she naturally became more and more yearning for the Central Plains, and she wanted to go to the Central Plains to see it in person, but unfortunately the Lingnan people could not leave Lingnan without customs clearance documents.

It is very difficult to apply for customs clearance documents out of Lingnan, because they are not issued by the Yamen of Lingnan, but by the capital. In other words, if you want to go out of Lingnan to the Central Plains, you must get the consent of the yamen in the capital.

Even if you apply for customs clearance documents out of Lingnan, the yamen in the capital will basically not agree. In other words, Lingnan people can only stay in Lingnan for the rest of their lives, and they can't go anywhere. If a Lingnan person sneaks out of Lingnan and is then discovered, then not only will this person be severely punished, but the local officials will also be severely punished. If the matter is serious, this person who sneaks out of Lingnan will be beheaded.

Lingnan people could not leave the local area, and this law was not formulated by the Great Zhou, but by the previous dynasty. The reason why the court of the previous dynasty did not allow the Lingnan people to leave the local area was because the Lingnan people had rebelled and successfully captured several cities near Lingnan and killed many people. At that time, the former emperor was furious and sent a large army to exterminate the Lingnan rebels.

Because of this incident, coupled with the fact that the officials sent to Lingnan by the court of the previous dynasty were often killed, the court of the previous dynasty felt that the Lingnan people were barbaric and rude and uneducated. As a result, the emperor of the previous dynasty issued an edict not to allow Lingnan people to leave Lingnan.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty changed a lot of the laws of the previous dynasty, for the laws of Lingnan, the Great Zhou completely copied the laws of the previous dynasty and did not revise a single one.

Whether it is the previous dynasty, the Great Zhou, or the earlier dynasty, the Lingnan people are stubborn barbarians. In their eyes, Lingnan people are no different from wild beasts, and there is no need to bother to educate them. Even if they put their heart into teaching them, they can't learn well.

That being the case, then simply "trap" them and let them stay in Lingnan forever and continue to be beasts.

The people of these two hidden mountain tribes can go out of Lingnan, naturally with the consent of the emperor, otherwise they will not be able to leave Lingnan. Also, the two of them were not randomly captured by He Lianfang's people, but after some investigation, the two of them were selected.

When the two of them left Lingnan, not only did the Tusi of the Yinshan tribe not know, but even their brothers and family members did not know. They suddenly disappeared, and everyone thought they had an accident when they went out to run errands.

He Lianfang's people sent the two of them to the capital first, and He Lianfang met them in person. At the beginning, in the face of He Lianfang's inquiry, the two of them concealed something and lied. After that, they were tortured, and then they obediently told everything they knew.

Now in the face of Zhao Yao's inquiry, they dare not deceive anymore because they have been poisoned. If you don't obey obediently, there will be no antidote, and you will die of poison.

The two of them have some status in the Hidden Mountain Tribe, and they are not only familiar with the affairs of their own tribe, but also have some understanding of the affairs of other tribes.

After listening to the words of the two people of the Yinshan tribe, Zhao Yao had a general understanding of the situation of the Lingnan tribe. Sure enough, the situation is very complicated, but it is not as difficult as imagined.

In his opinion, the tribes of Lingnan are basically in a state of ignorance and backwardness. The local people only believed in the words of Tusi, and they regarded Tusi as the emperor and the words of Tusi as holy decrees. What's more, they regarded Toast as a god. As long as you control and get rid of Tusi, you can successfully recover the people of each tribe.

The Tusi and the people of the various tribes of Lingnan all worship the gods. Even though the languages and cultural habits of the various tribes differed, they believed in one god - the dragon.

The Dragon King Temple can be seen in every village in Lingnan. No matter how poor and dilapidated the village is, the Dragon King Temple in the village must be the most luxurious and best. This shows their devotion to dragons.

In addition to the fact that each village has its own dragon king temple, each tribe also has its own dragon temple.

The reason why the Lingnan people believe in dragons so much is because of the frequent floods. In addition, Lingnan is close to the sea, and many people rely on going to the sea to make a living.

It stands to reason that Lingnan people believe in dragons so much, then they should believe in the emperor, because the emperor is the true dragon son of heaven. However, the Lingnan people did not believe that the emperor was the true dragon emperor. They have their own way of believing, and it is only through their way of believing that they believe. Moreover, they have always believed that the dragon that the Central Plains people believe in is not the same as the dragon they believe in.

When Zhao Yao heard this, he muttered in his heart, dragons are originally fictional, there are no dragons in the world at all, why are the dragons in the Central Plains different from the dragons in Lingnan?

Obviously, the dragon that the Lingnan people believe in looks exactly the same as the dragon that the Central Plains people believe in, why do the Lingnan people think that their dragon is more noble and powerful than the dragon of the Central Plains?

The funniest thing is that the Tusi of various tribes in Lingnan also claim to be "descendants of the dragon", and they feel that they are more powerful than the emperor of the Central Plains. They also felt that they were the real "descendants of the dragon", and the Central Plains Emperor was not. They believed that the Emperor of the Central Plains lied about being the "True Dragon Son of Heaven".

suffered too many points, and Zhao Yao couldn't complain.

The two people of the Yinshan tribe didn't know that Zhao Yao was laughing at them in their hearts, and they continued to talk about the affairs of the various tribes in Lingnan.

After Zhao Yao heard this, he had a score in his heart. Now it seems that the toast of the Hidden Mountain tribe is the easiest to subdue. Maybe you can buy her now.

The Tusi of this hidden mountain tribe knew in his heart that if they wanted to live a good life, they could not be trapped in Lingnan for generations, and they had to go out of Lingnan. She has always wanted to take the people of the tribe out of Lingnan and go to the Central Plains to have a look. Unfortunately, without the consent of the Central Plains Imperial Court, they would never have been able to leave Lingnan.

Zhao Yao felt that he could give the Tusi of the Yinshan tribe a chance to let the people of the Yinshan tribe go out of Lingnan and come to the capital to have a look. He believes that as long as they have come to the Central Plains, the people of the Yinshan tribe will deeply appreciate the prosperity of the Central Plains.

As long as you have seen the prosperity of other places, you will realize that you are backward, and the yearning and ambition in your heart will become unconsciously bigger, and you will no longer be satisfied with your original life.

That's just the way it is. After the two people of the Yinshan tribe were brought to the Central Plains, they were deeply shocked by everything in the Central Plains. In their opinion, everything in the Central Plains is like a fairyland, which they dare not imagine.

They don't want to return to the Hidden Mountain Tribe now, they want to stay in the Central Plains for the rest of their lives.

Zhao Yao asked some more things, and then asked Tongxi to take the two people from the Hidden Mountain tribe down.

Zheng Xilin walked in and asked curiously, "What's the catch?" ”

Zhao Yao smiled brightly at Zheng Xilin: "The harvest is rich." ”

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Zheng Xilin became more and more curious and asked, "What did you gain?" ”

Zhao Yao probably told Zheng Xilin what the two people of the Yinshan tribe said.

After Zheng Xilin heard this, his expression was very surprised and surprised. He didn't know much about the situation in Lingnan, and his knowledge was limited to what he had seen before.

"What are you going to do?"

"First send someone to officially send an envoy to the Yinshan tribe, and let the Tusi of the Yinshan tribe send some people to follow our people to the Central Plains." After Zhao Yao listened to the words of the two people from the Yinshan tribe, he had some arrangements in his heart. "Tusi of the Yinshan tribe can't leave her tribe at will, let alone leave Lingnan easily, but she can send her henchmen to the Central Plains. When her henchmen come to the Central Plains and tell her the real situation in the Central Plains, I think she herself will be more willing to come to the Central Plains. ”

"The Yinshan tribe is not the largest tribe in Lingnan, nor is it the most powerful tribe." After listening to Zhao Yao's words, Zheng Xilin sorted out the situation of the various tribes in Lingnan. Because the Tusi of the Yinshan tribe interacted with the Central Plains people in Lingnan, she and the Yinshan tribe were ostracized by other tribes and regarded as traitors. You want to get through her, and it's hard to reclaim the other tribes. ”

Zhao Yao said with a smile: "Then help the Yinshan tribe become the largest and strongest tribe in Lingnan, make her the king of Tusi, and let all tribes and Tusi respect her." ”

Zheng Xilin raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression was questioning: "Even if you have the ability to help her, but she can make all the tribesmen submit with one woman?" ”

Listening to Zheng Xilin's tone of looking down on a woman, Zhao Yao gave him a roll of his eyes very rudely.

"Third uncle, how can you underestimate women? You have to know that many women have more means and skills than men, and if you don't talk about others, Queen Fan of the dynasty in advance, if there is no her, the previous dynasty will be ruined when it reaches the third generation......"

Empress Fan of the previous dynasty was a very powerful woman. When her husband died, her son was a young and ignorant child. And that wasn't the worst of all, there were several princes, each of them young and strong, and powerful in power. There are also many ministers in the DPRK and China who have been bribed by them. It can be said that when her son succeeded to the throne, there was a lot of danger.

In the face of such a dangerous situation, with her excellent resourcefulness and means, she turned the danger into a disaster step by step, and finally succeeded in eliminating the most threatening princes and their forces, so that her son could sit firmly on the throne.

After relieving the crisis of the throne, she began to implement some policies to benefit the people, so that the people's lives are getting better and better. For the ministers in the court, she was gracious and powerful, and fully gave the talented ministers the opportunity to give full play, so that the previous dynasty became better and better.

"The female toast of the Hidden Mountain tribe is a smart and ambitious person, as long as she is given the opportunity, she will definitely be able to make some great achievements." Maybe it was the influence of Concubine Liang, or the influence of Zhao Yao in the dream, Zhao Yao never thought that women should be shorter than men, let alone that women couldn't do anything. On the contrary, he thinks that women are very powerful, and as long as they are given a chance, they will definitely be able to make a career. "Maybe she'll be younger at first, but I'm sure she'll grow up soon and give me a satisfactory explanation."

Zheng Xilin didn't expect Zhao Yao to trust the female toast of the Yinshan tribe so much, and said in some astonishment: "You haven't seen this female toast yet, so you are so optimistic about her." ”

"Just rely on her to deal with the people of the Central Plains." Zhao Yao said again, "Third uncle, don't underestimate women. ”

Zheng Xilin smiled and said, "Then I'm looking forward to it." ”

"Actually, Lingnan is a very good place, but neither my father nor the emperors of other dynasties found out that Lingnan's excellent geographical location was wasted." The Lingnan of Zhao Yao's world in his dream is very remarkable.

"You say the best location is by the sea?" Zheng Xilin said, "Many places in Soochow are also close to the sea, and the most important thing is that there is no miasma in these places, and Lingnan is filled with a thick miasma. ”

"Soochow has many places close to the sea, but in terms of distance from foreign countries such as Annam and Johor, Lingnan is the closest, and this is where it has advantages over many places in Soochow." Zhao Yao said with a serious face, "Miasma is indeed a problem, but it is not completely unsolvable. The doctor I sent has done some research on miasma, and it is not impossible to understand it in the future. Besides, there is no miasma near the sea, and the miasma basically exists in the mountains and forests. ”

"It seems that you are determined to build Lingnan into a wharf." Zheng Xilin reminded Zhao Yao, "Not all the people of the tribe are like the people of the Yinshan tribe, most of them are very barbaric. ”

Zhao Yao understood what Zheng Xilin meant, "The most important reason why Lingnan people are not educated is that they only believe in Tusi, as long as they solve the Tusi and then force them to learn the Central Plains culture by forceful means, they will naturally be taught." If it doesn't work, then beat them until they are obedient. In the end, it still doesn't work, so let's kill it. ”

Hearing Zhao Yaoyun say lightly, "Kill it", Zheng Xilin was slightly shocked in his heart, and then said with a smile: "I'm waiting for you to go to Lingnan in the future to show your strength." ”

Zhao Yao suddenly became depressed: "Alas, I still have three or four years to go to Lingnan to show my majesty." ”

While he was talking, Tongxi knocked on the door a few times, and then heard him say, "Your Highness, Mr. Meng is awake, please come over." ”

"Let's go."

Zhao Yao followed Zheng Xilin to Mr. Meng's room. He sat on the bed, looking much better and in good spirits.

He came to Zhao Yao to talk about the imperial examination. He was worried that the family would force poor students not to take the imperial examination, and no one in the entire Jinling Society would take the imperial examination at that time.

Regarding this matter, Zheng Xilin told Zhao Yao before. Zhao Yao told Mr. Meng what he had said to Zheng Xilin before.

After hearing this, Mr. Meng's worries did not decrease.

"I don't know much about the situation in Suzhou, but I think it's similar to Jinling." Mr. Meng said with a heavy face, "Although I have been hiding in the mountains for decades, it seems that I only ask about mundane things in the world, but I still know a lot about the situation in Jinling. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The families of Jinling and the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang are grasshoppers on the same line, and the imperial examination is not only about the families, but also about the interests of the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang, and they will never allow the officials in the officialdom of Jinling to be others." Mr. Meng frowned tightly, and said in a somewhat solemn tone, "The reason why the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang in Jinling are so arrogant and domineering is because of the protection and favoritism of the officials. ”

"I know." What Mr. Meng just said, Zhao Yao had already guessed.

"It is not so easy for the emperor to rectify the family and officialdom in Jinling, and the successful experience of Yangzhou cannot be replicated in Jinling. Moreover, these people in Jinling will never allow them to repeat the mistakes of Yangzhou. Mr. Meng said, "There is another thing, I once heard that the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang in Yangzhou, as well as the family, all listened to one person, and it was he who closely linked these three. ”

Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Mr. Meng shook his head and said, "I don't know who it is. ”

"You mean that this person is the real king behind the scenes of Jinling?"

Mr. Meng nodded his head lightly, and then continued: "I heard that this person is clever, like a god, and has a good means, especially the affairs of the imperial court. ”

"Isn't the biggest backer behind Jinling the crown prince and the prince of Zhenguo, this person knows everything about the affairs of the imperial court, and it is not surprising."

Zheng Xilin helped Mr. Meng to add: "What Mr. Meng means is that this person can count your father's thoughts. ”

When Zhao Yao heard this, he was taken aback in his heart, and said in shock: "What? ”

Please don't bring the Lingnan in the article into the reality of Liangguang.

I set a lot of Lingnan in the article, not only in reality, but also in history.

The belief in dragons is also made up by me, so I can't take it seriously.
