The 321st Saint
Qinglian looked silently at the dozen or so elderly people gathered outside the table. She was very confused now and didn't know how to deal with the questions they just raised.
Wu Sang held a strange earthen pipe in his mouth and blew out two puffs of smoke from time to time. His old yellow eyes revealed the light as he gently stared at Qing Lian sitting on the stool with her fingers intertwined: "Lian girl, black seedlings, long Skirt Miao, short skirt Miao, all the elders and principals of the five major Miao villages are here today. As long as you nod in agreement, we old guys can make the decision. From now on, you will be the saint of Wu Miao. All the five Miao are willing to accept you. Your Majesty, I will obey your orders, Miss Lian, and you will have to give me a response whether it succeeds or fails."
Qinglian looked up at a group of more than a dozen old people of different ages in front of her. Some of them she knew, but she just couldn't name them. Some she didn't recognize at all, let alone call them by name: "Uncle, uncle, uncle, and all of you." Senior, Lian'er He Dehe can command the Wumiao tribe, so please don't embarrass me."
"Girl Lian, Laowan Hei Miao Village Ye Dan, we all saw what you did this time. If you hadn't come forward to borrow these 50,000 shi of food, Laowan might have been gone a few days ago. You You are the benefactor of the entire Black Miao Village, and you are the benefactor of the entire Miao Village. We old guys elected you as the saint of the Miao Village with the unanimous consent of everyone in the Black Miao Village, so please don’t refuse."
"Yes, Lian girl, the old long-skirted Miao Langu. Compared with other Miao villages, the long-skirted Miao village has the most serious food shortage this year. Not to mention food half a month ago, even the grass roots and tree bark around the village are fast. It’s all gone. The grain you borrowed is life-saving food. The people of the Miao village have lived in this mountain for generations, making a living by hunting and farming. A group of people have never left this mountain to make a living, but Miss Lian, you It’s different. You have been out there and have seen a lot. Your horizons are much wider than those of us old guys. You know better how to lead us to live a better life.”
"Lian girl, old and short-skirted seedling wind, this time Liang Hua Ning and five Miao people can put aside their old grudges and get together. This has not happened for many years. Originally, we old guys had planned to lead the young men in the village to fight to the death. , the outcome is unknown, life and death are unpredictable, it is your kindness that saves the Miao people from the disaster of weapons. If you don't come out to take charge of the overall situation, none of us old guys can take charge of the overall situation of leading the five Miao people, you will Don’t hesitate.”
Wu Sang put the pipe in his hand on the ground: "Girl Lian, I borrowed the grain, but I still have to pay it back. Fifty thousand shi of grain is not a small amount. If we still follow the previous method of paying each other, we will pay back 50,000 shi next year." Once the grain, government and chieftain tax burdens are collected, we will still be like this year, with no grain left. Now we must find a way to change the situation of the division of Wumiao, unite all the people of Wumiao into one, and develop each other. Some of you Me, with you among me, only by uniting as one can we concentrate our strength, and we can get rid of the current embarrassment next year."
It can be said that this year's lianghuang has made the people of Wumiao realize that intrigues are tantamount to self-destruction. If the people of Wumiao want to survive in these hundreds of thousands of mountains and their descendants can continue, they must unite and abandon Wumiao. Different rules and customs, learn from each other's strengths to live a happier life.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is not only a habit of beasts, but also a human habit. As the primates of all things, humans understand the importance of this kind of thing. The reason why humans have tribal city-states is due to the habit of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
The 50,000 shi of grain was hard-earned and easy to come by. The day after receiving the letter, Fan Hai, the manager of the grain account, confirmed that the letter was correct. He immediately contacted Qinglian and brought the jade pendant to the grain account. The two tokens were put together and passed through Chengdu. Yang Yuan, the general manager of the company, nodded and immediately opened the warehouse to release grain. Truck after truck of grain was pulled out of the warehouse and filled the whole street.
The people in Wumiao were afraid of walking. The chieftain knew the news and would continue to squeeze out the rations they had finally borrowed. They prayed to Shopkeeper Fan to transport the food to the outside of the city in four ways. Every place ten miles outside the city was crowded. Young men and young men from all ethnic groups were waiting to carry the grain and transport it to Wumiao Village in batches.
If it were normal, Fan Hai would not agree to such an unreasonable request. The person who buried the grain did not have such a troublesome request, let alone the person who borrowed the grain? Do you know how many people will be assigned to work like this? Fifty thousand shi of food and carriage fees alone are enough to consume thousands of taels of silver.
But it was different when Qinglian said these words. If Qinglian hadn't been worried that things were too ostentatious, Fan Hai could have had the grain delivered to the Miao village.
Fan Hai not only received a letter from Young Master Liu, but also received a letter from his master, Liu Zhi'an, and naturally understood Qinglian's identity. She was one of the future young ladies of the Liu family, and the child in her belly was the eldest grandson of the Liu family. Or the eldest granddaughter, even if she is not the eldest grandson born to Qi Yun, she should not be underestimated.
No one understands the master's desire to have a grandson better than old people like Fan Hai. Fan Hai takes great care of Qinglian, for fear of bumping into her. Whether it is a wife or a concubine is not a matter of words for the eldest young master. Whether the eldest grandson or the legitimate eldest grandson is also a matter of words from the eldest young master.
Seeing the earnest pleading in the eyes of these elders, Qinglian touched the letter written by Liu Lang in her arms and nodded gently: "Lian'er can agree to be the saint of Wu Miao, but forget it about the person in charge, Lian'er is still young. , I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public in the future. If there are important matters, it is better to discuss them together. Select ten chief elders from the five Miao villages, two elders from each Miao village. When encountering difficult-to-decision matters, vote to resolve them. The minority obeys the majority. .”
These five Miao old men all looked overjoyed, and stood up and knelt on the ground: "White Miao village Wusang, black Miao village Yedan, long-skirted Miao blue ancient saint girl."
Qinglian stood up hurriedly, holding her back: "Elders, get up quickly, Lian'er can't bear it."
These old people were not polite and stood up one after another under Qinglian's persuasion: "Holy Girl, what should we do next?"
These people have recognized Qinglian's qualifications as chief commander, and can no longer be called Lian girl. Otherwise, what does it matter if the identity of the saint, the leader of the five seedlings, exists?
Qinglian pondered for a while: "The elders first select ten chief elders, and then lead the compatriots of all ethnic groups to cut down trees and build houses before winter, and open up wasteland for farming in the mountains and forests. According to the laws of Dalong, after clearing up wasteland, Since the land is not taxed, the government and chieftains naturally do not dare to violate Dalong's laws. The wasteland must be far away from rivers and streams to facilitate irrigation."
"We will obey the saint's instructions."
"There are many wild beasts in the mountains. Pregnant wild beasts should not be caught in large numbers. Smaller wild beasts are easy to tame. You can build fences to raise wild boars and pheasants as poultry."
"yes."
"In Wuzhai, the men are engaged in farming, and the women are weak and are not allowed to sit idle at home. Wumiao is the most proficient in herbal medicine and cultivates medicinal fields to grow herbal medicine."
"I obey your orders."
My wife is the best in the world
