Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, when Sanza heard the establishment of the Nanyi people's economic envoy, he couldn't help feeling hot, and asked carefully, "Dare to ask Your Highness, how will the Nanyi people's economic envoy set up the law?"

He Rong: "The officials sent by the imperial court are the chief economic envoys, and the Nanyi people are the deputy envoys. On weekdays, they go to court to settle cases, and everything remains the same. Make a decision to avoid a situation where one side is partial. The deputy envoy also has the right to supervise the counties in the south of the Lingnan and directly to the emperor. If local officials corrupt the law or make unfair judgments, they can go to the emperor to make a statement."

From this point of view, the deputy envoy of economic strategy does not have much power, but it has an extra supervisory power, which can check and balance with the envoy, so that the envoy has scruples and will not do whatever he wants.

Sanza didn't expect the Nanyi people to become county magistrates or governors all at once, and he also knew that the imperial court could not let this place go and allow them complete self-government. Now that He Rong can propose such an official position, it is already a good start.

He ignored the whisperings of several elders, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Is the deputy envoy of economics and strategy appointed for life?"

He Rong laughed, Sanza had a good idea, but it was impossible.

"Of course not, the imperial court officials are appointed every three years, the external officials are appointed every five years, and the Nanyi Economic and Strategic Envoys are also appointed every five years. The appointment method is that one or two of you are recommended from within, and then the imperial court will make the final appointment. "

In this way, it can not only take into account the opinions of the Nanyi people, but also keep Lingnan from breaking away from the imperial court's control.

Seeing that Sanzha and the others didn't speak, and He Rong didn't leave them much room to think, he continued, "In the villages of Nanyi, there are really too few Nanyi people who understand Chinese and Chinese characters, and they don't understand the language. It is inevitable that conflicts will arise. I will play the Son of Heaven and order all counties to expand county schools. Every village can send children to school. In county schools, a certain amount of Nanyi children will be admitted every year. I hope that in five years, eight years, or even Ten years later, in the imperial examinations, you can see scholars from Nanyi, and you can see officials from Nanyi in the imperial court."

He looked around the crowd with a serious expression, and paused every word: "This is me, and also the imperial court, what I expect from Nanyi. I also hope that all of you here will work together and not disappoint the high expectations of your Majesty and the imperial court."

Sang Lin, who was standing beside his father, looked at He Rong completely changed.

He finally understood why the dignified Prince An would not hesitate to come here in person to act as a lobbyist.Because of such an important decision, if an official comes here at random, they will definitely not be able to win their trust. Only the appearance of King An can have such a strong persuasive force, and can convince them that the court really has goodwill and determination towards Nanyi—— ——Instead of changing the soup and medicine as in the past: the army crossed the border and suppressed it by force, which made people dare not speak out.

Looking at my father and the other elders, although they were not as excited as myself, some were thinking, some were nodding, and some were smiling, obviously their mood was not far from his own.

Sang Lin collected himself and continued to listen to He Rong.

Just listen to His Royal Highness An continued: "The expatriates from the Central Plains and the common people from the Nanyi are all Chinese descendants. Their ancestors share the same origin thousands of years ago. They shouldn't be so alienated. Overseas Chinese, you are free to marry and marry, neither you nor the government can intervene to obstruct it.”

There's a reason he said that.

Nowadays, the world is open, and even though unmarried sexual intercourse is not advocated, there are not a few childhood sweethearts between men and women who make love in private.Before He Rong came here, he looked through the files and found that there was a case a few years ago. A Nanyi man fell in love with a Han woman. The Nanyi man was willing to follow the Chinese custom of three media and six employment, and the parents of both sides also agreed. However, when the incident spread to the leader of the tribe where the man was at that time, something happened. The leader was hostile to the Central Plains people, and even thought that this move would confuse the Nanyi people's lineage. , Still married to a woman, the headman was furious when he found out, and immediately sent someone to arrest both the man and woman, and flogged them to death in front of the clansmen.

Later, the woman's family sued the government, and the county magistrate didn't want to cause trouble, so he hastily judged the case. It is one of the leaders who is now following Li Zhan's rebellion, named Xun Ke.

I heard that after Xun Ke followed Li Zhan to revolt, he killed many people in the Central Plains along the way, which can be said to be a bloody debt. This debt will naturally be settled with him when the army puts down the rebellion.

But when Sanza heard these words, he did not show the excitement and approval just now. Instead, he remained silent for a long time, and then said euphemistically: "The customs between the people of Nanyi and the people of Central Plains are different, so it may be difficult to get along with each other."

He Rong said without doubt: "So we have to integrate! Being self-styled will only deepen the hatred, and the village master Sang also understands that some Nanyi people, like Li Zhan, Xun Ke, etc., regard themselves as tribal leaders and live their lives by eating and drinking. However, hunting in the mountains and relying on the mountains to eat the mountains is not a long-term solution after all. Only by going down the mountains to farm and live in harmony with the Han people will everyone have a good life. In the future, if there are both men and women One party is from Nanyi, and the other is an overseas Chinese from the Central Plains. If you get married, you can be exempted from land tax for one year; if you are married for more than ten years, you can be exempted from land tax for two years; if you have been married for more than 20 years, you can be exempted from land tax for three years; analogy."

Sanza's expression moved slightly, and he finally said: "His Royal Highness King An has a good intention and always thinks of the people of Nanyi. If I don't appreciate it, then I don't know what is good."

He Rong smiled: "I'm also doing this for the peace of Lingnan for a hundred years. The imperial army will launch an attack on Guangzhou City in a few days. After the leader of the bandit is killed, I hope that the head of the Sang Village will take the lead and let the Nanyi people in the six tribes live a happy life." On Ansheng's day, I am also optimistic about Sangzhailord as the first deputy economic envoy of the Five Lingnan Prefectures."

He downplayed Li Zhan and the others, and it seemed that he didn't pay attention to them at all, which made Sanza and the others feel the deterrent power of the Celestial Army.

After finishing the beating and dragging, although Sanza didn't admit it, in fact, he had already convinced Wang An in his heart, and completely extinguished his wavering heart.

Not only him, but everyone else present was similar.

"His Royal Highness King An is open and honest with us. Naturally, we must not be ungrateful and stay out of the matter. The An family village, like the Sang family, did not participate in the Li Zhan rebellion. There is another Lin family village. Although they joined Li Zhan, It's just a matter of sympathy, just providing some food and weapons, and not sending people to participate in the rebellion. If His Highness agrees, I will immediately contact the leaders of Anjiazhai and Linjiazhai, and let them come to see His Highness as soon as possible."

The implication is that this part of the people can be won over.

He Rong nodded: "What if they refuse to come over?"

Sanza smiled: "The imperial court attaches so much importance to Nanyi and is willing to use good strategies to appease them. I believe that smart people know how to choose. If they don't know what to do, I can't save them."

He Zhan heard this from the side, and thought that it doesn't matter if the other party doesn't know the interesting things. When the time comes, the army will move, and it will be overthrown. Let these people truly see the power of iron and blood, and there is no need for the third brother to bother to persuade them here. up.

But he also knew that it was not for nothing that the third brother came here. It has always been more difficult to convince people with virtue than with force, but if the former can be truly achieved, the effect will be better than temporary coercion by force. Much better, Nanyi people are not afraid of death. Only by virtue and force, can we keep Lingnan peaceful for a hundred years, as the third brother said.

After this conversation, everyone was naturally happy, Sanza even asked people to open the old wine in the village, invited He Rong to the table, and asked someone to cook a table of sumptuous dishes to entertain these distinguished guests from the capital.

In terms of cooking techniques, Nanyi is naturally not as sophisticated as the Central Plains, but it is better because the ingredients are fresh, the soup is boiled with mountain delicacies, and the poultry is grilled with charcoal, which has a special flavor.

Sanza said to He Rong: "My daughter, Ayun, who frightened His Highness the first day, made a few dishes by herself, and wanted to make amends to you, so I let her out temporarily, and please Your Highness look at her sincerity." For the sake of sincere repentance, let her be spared this time, if not, I will take the cane and beat her hard once, to vent my anger on His Highness."

Of course, He Rong knew that Sanza was reluctant to do this, otherwise he would have smoked it long ago. Now that he and Sanza had a good conversation, he didn't think about embarrassing the little girl, so he said: "Why did this happen? Yes, but Village Master Sang still needs to discipline her well, after all, not everyone is as easy-talking as I am."

Sanza didn't feel that he was bragging, but said gratefully: "Your Highness is magnanimous and broad-minded, which is rare in the world. I thanked His Highness on behalf of my little girl. That child was spoiled by me since she was a child. If Your Highness doesn't dislike her, I will let you go in the next few days." Let her follow His Highness, serve tea and water, and she has the right to make amends!"

Not long after, Sang Yun personally brought up some dishes, and He Zhan's eyes widened when he saw it.

This girl doesn't have the attitude of wanting to make amends, is she here to punish them on purpose?

There are a bunch of golden ones on the plate, but upon closer inspection they turned out to be worms, and the worms on each plate were different. He Zhan could only recognize one of the plates as silkworm chrysalis. I couldn't help the acid water gushing up, why did I cover my mouth, I didn't care to tell anyone, so I hurried out and vomited.

Sanza smiled and explained: "People from the Central Plains are new to this food, and they are not used to eating this stuff, but these are indeed my Nanyi delicacies, not intentional negligence, and only when distinguished guests come to the door, the host will make such dishes. Entertain the distinguished guests."

Sang Yun looked at He Rong with sparkling eyes, and said expectantly: "Guests, please try it, it's really delicious!"

But Sanzha was afraid that He Rong really couldn't get used to it, and mistakenly thought that they were deliberately looking at him as a joke, so he hurriedly said: "If your highness is not used to it, don't force it. I specially found a cook from the county who can cook Central Plains dishes. Let them serve the dishes."

……

He Zhan on the other end vomited up his breakfast and returned to the hall listlessly, only to see He Rong picking up an unknown worm and feeding it into his mouth.
