Beiyang new warlord

That's the way it is. If the beaten Su man had a Chinese name, it would definitely be Wang, something like Old Wang next door.

But this guy surnamed Jin is also a bastard, he is lazy when he works, and after getting the money for selling food, he goes to the Han's shop to smoke, drink and play money all day long like the degenerate second generation of the later generations. The kid didn't help, just ran away, and then ran into this scene when he went home.

But no matter how bastard this surname Jin is, etiquette and chastity are also one of the basic principles of Confucianism. As Zhu Zi said, starving to death is a small matter, but injustice is a major matter!A few years ago, Mao Jue amended the law, removed the death penalty for involuntary tryst before marriage and derailment after marriage, and only changed it to a fine. For this reason, Mao Xingjian even asked him to make a big fuss, but the matter really came to him. Mao Xingjian But also a little at a loss.

"If this happened to your tribe, how would you deal with this person?"

Pointing to the "Old Wang next door" who stood up stubbornly with his head covered in slaps, Mao Xingjian tilted his head and asked Su Yu, but Su Yu's answer once again made him unable to bear it. The urge to vomit blood.

"Not guilty."

Seeing Mao Xingjian's gloomy face, Su Yu hurriedly added: "The son of the Lord of Thousand Bulls, the Su people don't have as many rules as the Ming people. Our women have the same status as men, and men can go out to find For other women to mate, a woman can also mate with a man she likes, as long as the woman is not forced, even her husband will not care, so in the Sioux, the long snake is innocent!"

Mao Xingjian was speechless again. On the left were those Ming immigrants staring at him eagerly, and on the right were a group of Indians, who were also staring at him eagerly. They pinched their chins for two or three seconds, and finally Mao Xingjian shook his head with difficulty. shook his head.

"Chuan Gu's order, summon all the chiefs and clan elders to the Prince's Mansion for a meeting!"

His eyes fell on the fat man surnamed Jin and the "Neighbor King" Long Snake who was beaten and moaning. Mao Xingjian waved his hand sullenly: "Take them away too!"

.........

Unlike Mao Jue, Mao Xingjian likes to be superior, so his court hall on the first floor of the Prince's Mansion was completely modeled after the Eastern Palace. On the three most central steps, there was only his mahogany chair, and futons were placed on the left and right sides. Let the servants and clan elders of Snake City kneel and sit on the left and right. According to the Indian tradition, Han Xiaomo, the "big witch", also needs to attend, but this girl is busy preparing lunch, and Mao Xingjian doesn't have the consciousness to call her. It was empty.

Once the conflict broke out today, even the atmosphere of the Council of Elders was not very good. Just after sitting down, the former great chief Dalatra couldn't wait to yell in Su language.

"The son of the Lord of the Thousand Bulls, the Great Elder accused the tribe of being unfair to them, and demanded that they also be provided with cigarettes and alcohol, and immediately released the long snake!"

Before Su Yu finished his translation, his neck exploded, and he jumped up like a thunder, and was about to jump over with his arms rolled, yelling and cursing while throwing back his cup with fists.

"Shameless barbarian, you want cigarettes and alcohol, do you want grandpa's fist?"

"Zhao Conglong!"

Hearing Mao Xingjian's roar, the rough man couldn't help but froze for a moment, but immediately pointed at the opposite side angrily, and asked angrily: "Prince, are you my Ming's prince, or these barbarian princes?" ?”

"Your Highness, if things go on like this, I won't be able to continue my business. Even if the Crown Prince doesn't award this title, I will have to go back to Daming!"

He was also extremely annoyed, even Han Jinnong, who had always been kind and rich, had a gloomy tone. Although he was calm, Mao Xingjian could still hear the uncompromising tone clearly.

This can be regarded as the biggest ruling crisis he has encountered since the establishment of Snake City. Now he suddenly understands why Mao Jue must send him to the New World. Dealing with conflicts between factions is the basic skill of a superior, but it is also exceptional. The typical bad example is Chongzhen, who always thought he was in control of everything and tried to take advantage of the chaotic party struggles in the court. In the end, the sharp party conflicts collapsed the entire Ming Empire.

Taking a deep breath, Mao Xingjian also had an extremely gloomy expression on his face, and said gloomyly to his neck, "I'm the prince of Snake City! Step back!"

"Prince! Hi~"

He shook his head holding his breath, and sat back again holding his breath, and sent him away. Mao Xingjian's eyes fell on Han Jinnong's face again. This time, he bent down slightly: "Shopkeeper Han, what's the matter?" Let Gu Lai judge the matter, okay?"

Without saying a word, Han Jinnong just bent down dully to return the salute, followed behind him, and a dozen or so chiefs who were also full of anger also sat back their bodies that were leaning forward to stand up.

Mao Xingjian breathed a sigh of relief after calming down the crowd for the time being. Once again, his eyes fell on the elder seat of the Tarak tribe, but he first asked about the case of the youngest son of the Jin family and the long snake.

"Who else is in the long snake's family?"

"Three brothers, a wife, three children, and two daughters!"

The clan that the snake belongs to, the chief of the clan, Bison, answered one by one without concealing it. This answer made Mao Xingjian take a deep breath, and then exhaled again gloomyly: "The daughter-in-law of the third son of the Jin family, I will be sentenced to this long snake .”

As soon as these words came out, the immigrant Ming Dynasty was about to explode. Even Han Jinnong's facial muscles twitched and he wanted to stand up hastily, but Mao Xingjian stretched out his hand to them with a gloomy face. He spoke again impatiently and quickly.

"The women of the Jin family have lost their morals, and it is useless to keep them. As compensation, the snake must give his two daughters to Jin Laosan as wives and concubines! From now on, I must strictly abide by the rules of my Daming side! Otherwise, I will die!"

This sentence finally made the immigrant from Ming Dynasty relax. The verdict was fair. Even the terrified man let out a sigh of relief and sat back, but on the other side, he just smiled when he heard that Mao Xingjian had sentenced the Jin family woman to them. Dalatra and other chiefs exploded again, yelling in Su language and protesting passionately, but this time, Mao Xingjian really didn't get used to them. He took his single-shot shotgun and smashed it on the ground. on the table.

"enough!"

"Gu and the residents of Snake City have respected your Tarak tribe, respected your beliefs, sacrifices, and habits. Snake City has also given you a warm shelter and plenty of food. Gu has tried his best to treat the two tribes fairly, but respect is relative. , while your Talaq department is respected, shouldn't you also respect the customs of our Snake City?"

"If you can't respect each other, if you Su people are just a bunch of unreasonable scoundrels who only care about themselves, you are not welcome in Snake City, get out of this lonely city!"

Listening to Su Yu's slightly trembling translation, the Indian side also became quiet. Respect is also an extremely important point in Su people's social morality. Mao Xingjian's accusation and roaring are speechless and more realistic One point, in Snake City, life is obviously better than starving and freezing in the ice and snow. If it is in previous years, during the two months of cold winter, there may be dozens or even hundreds of tribesmen who died of freezing and starvation, but in Snake In the city, not only have no one died of freezing and starvation, but the tribe has also added more than 30 newborns.

It's so hard to let them go!

After being silent for a long time, Dalatra turned his head and exchanged a few words with the other elders in a low voice, before nodding helplessly.

"All the clans are willing to obey the ruling of the great chief, but since the great chief respects each other, members of the cattle tribe can drink and smoke, shouldn't our Tarak tribe also enjoy the same rights?"

Once again, Han Jinnong's old face twitched, and his eyes fell on Mao Xingjian. This time, Mao Xingjian took out a large silver ingot from his pocket and threw it to Dalatra.

"The Sioux don't raise lazy people, right?"

"Great chief, if there are lazy people in the Sioux tribe, they will be expelled from the tribe!"

"If you have a cow department, you don't have lazy people!"

Mao Xingjian leaned forward leaning forward, pointed at the big silver ingot that Adatra curiously held in his hand, and said dully: "So we created money, you can earn gold by working hard. , silver, copper and grain, with these you can exchange for anything you want."

"My men and women have been working hard and farming since spring. The rice you eat is what they cultivated. In autumn, they sell the surplus grain for silver, and then exchange the silver for cigarettes and wine. Autumn is coming, and I only did the last part of the labor, so I will pay you with food! Great Elder, tell Gu, is it fair?"

I have to admit that the Su people are not unreasonable. To a certain extent, the Su people with simple social primitive thinking are more reasonable than the Ming people. After listening to Mao Xingjian's shouting and questioning again, a group of Su people's elders fell silent.

However, the most basic element of a superior person is to give a sweet date with a stick. If these taraks are forced too hard, there is no guarantee that there will be no other troubles. Taking another deep breath, Mao Xingjian issued a dull and hasty order another new law.

"Starting tomorrow, Ming people's labor will be lifted, and all the work of repairing the city wall will be assigned to Su people, but Gu will pay you with money from Snake City's tax revenue. If you want to buy cigarettes and alcohol, you can exchange them fairly! "

"Is it fair?"

Hearing Mao Xingjian's serious and murderous roar, this time, whether it was the immigrants from the Ming Dynasty or the group of elders from the Suzhou people, they finally nodded in unison.

"Follow the ruling of the crown prince/the great chief!"

Chapter 789. Impatient Prince

"Silver! Damn silver!"

No effort, no gain, the silver ingot that was thrown to Elder Adatra finally returned to Mao Xingjian's hands, he tossed it up and down twice, and then he threw it into the trash can with a thud.

Being a Confucianist, he hates mentioning these yellow and white things the most. To be honest, Mao Xingjian yearns to appreciate the simple society where everyone enjoys good things and works together in a clan commune like the Indians. During the whole day of the elders' tribunal, he personally instilled the concepts of money and selfishness into the minds of these primitive and simple Su people bit by bit, so that they learned it so quickly that they even knew how to bargain.

Taking over the construction of Snake City's defenses, he asked for one stone of food per month and ten taels of silver for each Su, and finally forced the chief of the Ming Dynasty to agree to pay this extra tax. Starting today, the Su people in Snake City will not It was the simple Su people before.

Fortunately, today's meeting can be regarded as a solution to the ruling crisis of Snake City. In future generations, the theme of the world is communication. Mao Xingjian can be considered to have learned a little about Mao Jue's way of handling things. In a one-day meeting, the two sides exchanged all the customs and taboos of Ming or Su people. After exchanging, each went back to restrain his followers and not to violate each other's taboos. No matter which side violated, they would be sanctioned by the Council of Elders. With this decree guarantee, at least in a short period of time, Snake City will not face the danger of internal conflicts up.

This is also a lesson for Mao Xingjian. As a superior, no matter whether he likes or dislikes the development of things, he still needs to do it for the sake of the current situation!

However, just as the crown prince was immersed in the disgusting feeling brought to him by the compromise made today, some sequelae left over from the meeting were also revealed. Su Yu quietly leaned close to Mao Xing's fitness side, glanced left and right, and then asked in a low voice.

"Brother, didn't the Council of Elders make a rule that if you want to mate with a Ming woman, you must first obtain the consent of her husband or father? Brother, look at my brother who has been saddling you for so long, Mr. Han... ..."
