Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Mei Rong's first reaction was not to be happy, her pale face became very serious after the hangover, she took the newspaper, read it carefully, and found that it was really a statement issued in Mu Ci's tone, and Mu Ci's seal, announcing that Mu Ci, the king of Chu, will Married on September [-]th, the second year of Deguang, with Siss May Field, the Messiah, at the Dinghaizhou waters.

Siss May Field?

Who is this?

After taking a big mouthful of Mei Rong vinegar, he gritted his teeth and realized that the name was a little familiar. He pressed hard on his forehead, which was sore from the hangover, and then thought... Oh, "Sisus Field" is not exactly his Messianic name. ?He hasn't used this name since he was eight years old, and Mu Ci added a middle surname "Mei", which made Mei Rong forget it for a while, thinking that some desperadoes dared to rob him?

It made Mei Rong not know whether to cry or laugh.

Mei Rong asked Qi Yan helplessly: "Where is the prince now?"

Qi Yan replied: "Mr. Austin Field was invited to the mansion early in the morning, and they are having a meeting in the Qiuzhen Hall."

Knowing that she invited his uncle, Mei Rong must be talking about his marriage, so she quickly went to the Qiuzhen hall, and saw her uncle smiling happily, her eyes sparkling and frightening, the always serious person looked beaming now, Dancing, I am happier than making three times the profit.It can be seen that what Mu Ci said to him must be a very good thing, not just as simple as his own marriage.

It is impossible for the uncle to borrow money from the wedding.

Seeing Mei Rong, Mu Ci waved to him with a smile, took his hand and the two of them sat together, caringly asked: "Yesterday you drank too much, too much alcohol hurt your health. Your complexion is not very good now, how do you feel?" Sample?"

Mei Rong said: "It's okay."

Mu Ci handed the note in front of her to Austin and said, "You should take the specific plan and plan back to the clan to discuss and see if there is anything to be revised. If there is, we can discuss it again. plan, hurry up and implement it.”

"Okay, I hope we have a happy cooperation." Austin nodded with a smile, and looked at Mei Rong deeply with relief, like a messian looking at a profitable project, before leaving with a smile.

Mei Rong touched her face, but she didn't find any silver coins printed on it, and looked at Mu Ci with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that his face was pale and his brows were furrowed, Mu Ci stood up behind him, rubbed his temples, and said, "We are talking about the Holy Mass that the Messiahs believe in."

"kindness?"

"Tell me, how about I return to the Mass religion with you?" Mu Ci said lightly and shockingly.

Mei Rong really felt that it was not good to be drunk at the moment, her thinking became dull, and she couldn't understand Mu Ci's words.Returning is faith. Mu Ci has never shown any inclination to believe in any religion. He doesn't believe in Buddhism or Buddhism. Why did he suddenly say that he wants to believe in a foreign mass religion that has not been recognized by Daxing?

If Mu Ci believes in Mass, what a big impact it will have on Da Xing's belief system!Fortunately, there are hundreds of millions of people, how many people will understand and believe in the Mass.People of Buddhism and Taoism are afraid that they will not be able to sit still, what kind of storms will they stir up?

Although Mu Ci is a person who is never afraid of making things big and has the ability to control the overall situation, turning his hands into clouds and rain, but Mei Rong still feels sorry for Mu Ci's effort in facing the storm - he himself is a Those who ride the tide in the sea know that the bigger the wind and the waves, the more effort it takes.

Mei Rong held Mu Ci's wrist, and asked first with distress: "Is it for me?" The answer to the question was almost affirmative, and he didn't pretentiously refuse or ask Mu Ci if it was worth it. Mu Ci had already done this, and he just As long as he needs to remember his intentions, as long as he needs support, there is no need to stand in front of Mu Ci hypocritically because of other people or things.

Therefore, Mei Rong does not interfere with Mu Ci's decision by "worrying about the consequences" or "for your own good", but asks clearly first: "Tell me the advantages and disadvantages of your doing so." Then she can decide what to do, Cooperate with Mu Ci, unite the front, and face together.

Mu Ci rubbed Mei Rong with her hands, and explained: "When I was with you, I had already estimated several plans regarding 'marriage', and now it seems that the resistance to getting married in China is relatively large, so you can Try jumping out inland and out to sea."

"Thought it so long ago?" Mei Rong laughed, and hugged Mu Ci's thigh with her hands behind her back... There are still a few plans.

"Of course," Mu Ci's eyes were full of tenderness, "I decided to be with you, I know your life experience and the pressure you will face, and many things must be planned in advance. I haven't been studying the Messiah recently. Is there any doctrine in the code of law? The code of law says that as long as they return to the Mass or are born to the mother of the Messiah, they are Messianic. Neither the code of Messiah nor the doctrine of the Messiah prohibits same-sex marriage. You can try this way.”

"In order to get married and believe in Mass, what would lucky people think? Can we bear the consequences?" Mei Rong asked again, and said solemnly, "I want to marry you, but I'm not in a hurry. You can take your time, it's not necessary at all. Caused unnecessary trouble by acting too hastily."

"It's not in a hurry. Most of the trouble comes from believers of existing religions, but that's okay." Mu Ci said, civil servants and military generals can't do anything about him, so what about religious believers?

"Faith is very powerful." Mei Rong was worried. The current Emperor Deguang followed Mu Ci and neither believed in religion nor Buddhism, and a series of monitoring methods corrected the two religions. One studied medicine and the other practiced science, so the two Those who are still pretty well-behaved.However, there are so many Buddhist and Taoist believers in the court hall of the clan, it is really hard to predict what fanatical believers can do, and it is much more difficult to deal with than those who only talk about benefits.

"Faith is personal freedom. I have already urged Daxing to legislate and respect everyone's freedom of religious belief. This is not only to serve the general public, but also to facilitate us. No one can interfere with us. If someone really makes trouble, strictly speaking, in the past only Taoism is local, and Buddhism was introduced from the Western Continent 1000 years ago. They are both foreign teachings. If the Mass religion is boycotted because it is foreign, then I will talk to Abbot Ji En about their legitimacy. A master will be happy to see it happen."

Mei Rong wanted to laugh when she thought of Ji En's jumping feet and Zheng Yi's schadenfreude, she nodded and said, "Well, what then? What else?" Mei Rong let go of her worries and didn't bother to think, and asked directly.

"I set the wedding in September to let the third brother and the others have a relatively long acceptance process. Marriage is a good thing. You should not get into trouble with your family. Instead, you should discuss it calmly and slowly, and make some concessions to each other. It is also to let You can catch a season of trade winds and sail to the birthplace of the Messiah - Semilia on the northern continent, to invite the priest of the mass, bring the teachings of the mass, and ask the priest to baptize us and preside over the wedding. And Austin's The job is to build a church in those few months."

"Bring back the priest? Build a church? Where will it be built?" Mei Rong asked. He grew up among the Messiahs before he was eight years old, and later became close to his tribe. .Although it is a great fortune to allow Messiahs and other Hu people to live in, it is not allowed to propagate teachings, especially in the capital city of a country like Tianjing.

If a church is built, it is equivalent to a sect being officially recognized by some form.

Mu Ci said: "It's not built in Tianjing City. Some things have to be done slowly, and can't be too tough to provoke a backlash. So I plan to divide the newly acquired Rizhao Prefecture into 36 regions, and one of the regions, [-] hectares of land, will be divided into It belongs to the Messiah who has entered the Daxing household registration and the Hu people of other ethnic groups who are closely related to the Messiah, as their permanent residence area. Symbol buildings of their respective beliefs can be built in the residential area. As for the area name, each ethnic group has its own All residential areas are equivalent to a county in terms of administrative level, and the policies and laws are under the unified jurisdiction of the Daxing court and enjoy the same treatment as other counties in other states. Create committees, each region is self-governing.”

Mei Rong held Mu Ci's hand, and didn't care whether her uncle's family had gained huge profits, she just turned around and pulled Mu Ci and shook her head: "No, this is too...too..." Mei Rong thought for a long time but couldn't find a suitable word, and just Said, "Too much, the court will not agree."

It is not an ordinary difficulty to face the pressure from religion and the pressure from the imperial court.And...Mei Rong said: "This is a fief reserved for Xiaowu. After all, Chu is in Daxing territory, and it will be built in the future. If you are not here...the imperial court said it would take it back."

"Xiao Wu is still young, and his future depends on his ability. If we don't have the ability, the more we leave him, the more we will urge him to die. Moreover, Rizhao Prefecture's self-government is more suitable for fiefdoms. The 36 districts are self-governing, and each district can check and balance each other. The method can be twisted into one rope for better management. There are a lot of taxes, and a region like Messiah in the future can be compared to a poor state in the northwest, and there are countless ports.” Mu Ci was in Dinghai, which wrapped Rizhao Prefecture. The state draws an arc, "There is also Dinghai Prefecture, Dinghai Dinghai, isn't it just 'there is this state, the situation on the sea will be stable'? No matter how many regional autonomy there are in Rizhao Prefecture, there will be no waves." Said Mei Rong, "It's all your vision and credit."

Mei Rong smiled, and after thinking about it, it was indeed as Mu Ci said, she was anxious about the fiefdom. Mu Ci originally had a Chu land that was so rich as gold... People don't care about Chu land when Mu Ci got it How dilapidated, how much effort Mu Ci has wasted on building the Chu land, only the "special products" that the coveted land will become more and more abundant.

Xiao Wu is indeed still young, and it is not appropriate to fight for a place with taxes and ports at this time.

Mei Rong sighed and said: "It's better if you can think about it..." You can also calm down.But fortunately, with Mu Ci as a strict father, he pampered him a little bit, and Xiao Wu would not be short-changed.

"You also love children." Mu Ci knew it well, and kissed Mei Rong's forehead, "Don't worry, Xiao Wu and my third brother will be in the future. After all, it's his own, so he won't be too stingy."

"Will the court allow regional autonomy?"

"It's not difficult, because Rizhao Prefecture is a free enclave. In this way, the problem of housing the increasing number of Hu people has been solved, and the bloodshed of the Hu people has been reduced. The Hu people also have a place to live and have faith. It also has a 'root'. It also solves the management problem of Rizhao Prefecture. Residents, I don’t advocate the massacre of civilians, so I can only move the population, dilute, and assimilate these people.”

Mei Rong hugged Mu Ci, and patted him comfortingly: "Everyone only sees my achievements, but they don't know how much you have paid for the prosperity and stability of the world."

"I don't need them to know, I only do what I should do." Mu Ci said, "You can rest assured now, my actions are not just for our marriage. I am used to making decisions that can benefit both the family and the country, taking into account both public and private interests."

"That's right, but I guess the benefits are more than that." Mei Rong said, he just had a vague idea, and he didn't have more than a thousand years of wisdom, so he didn't understand it very clearly.

Mu Ci said: "Yes, the benefits will be in the future, and the merits will be in the future."

Mu Ci turned Mei Rong's head away, pointed to the large map on the wall for him to see, and said, "The current fortune is only so great, but it will never be so in the future. In order to cooperate with the pace of expansion, and for this superpower to stand for a thousand years Not a flash in the pan, Daxing must become an open, tolerant and inclusive civilized country. She can accommodate all friends who come with peace, friendship and development; integrate and learn from the brilliant culture and wisdom brought by these friends; and accept All those who admire the culture of Taiko, who want to become Taiko people, and those who have contributed to the construction of Taiko and paid taxes, will add strength to their own strength."

"Daxing's conquest does not rely on destruction, but win-win!" Mu Ci concluded.

Mei Rong turned her head back, and looked at Mu Ci with burning eyes - he felt that a new door to the world was being opened by Mu Ci.

Mu Ci looked at the map and said, with bright brilliance flowing in her dark eyes: "The self-government of the Messiah can be regarded as a test area, or a role model. Fortunately, with the help of the first self-government of the Messiah In the autonomous region, explore a balanced and mutually beneficial management model, and then expand it to other ethnic groups. This "national unity, ethnic regional autonomy" model will bring benefits to everyone, and will also drive other ethnic groups to enter the Great Happiness with peace of mind. " Mu Ci raised his hand, pointing to Tai Li Chao, Gao Fan, and Nanli Kingdom, and said, "This will also be their future, and one day they will voluntarily integrate into Daxing and become a community of interests. Less destruction and bloodshed, more mutual benefit and win-win, Daxing also needs to compromise and give up some space. Let many civilizations feel at ease, stand in the same boat with Daxing spontaneously, and unanimously external; but maintain their own national identity Independence, that is, maintaining the uniqueness of one's own civilization, collides with bright sparks in the process of mutual exchanges between multiple civilizations."

"I never thought of imposing the culture of Taiko on everyone in the world, so that people all over the world can only speak one language, wear one kind of clothing, and have only one belief... that would be too lonely and difficult. It is not conducive to development. Civilization needs comparison in order to promote and improve.”

Although Mei Rong hadn't read the ethnic policy of the Hua Kingdom thousands of years later, she had a smart head, was well-informed and experienced, and quickly thought of the benefits.

This is like the big family of the patriarchal system, everyone is a part of this big family, and is managed by the patriarchal system of the family to build and grow this big family.But each clan and each small family is relatively independent. As long as the general affairs in the house do not threaten the interests of the big family, the patriarch only has the responsibility of supervising, and it is not good to meddle too much in everything.

In this way, the family has a common value goal, has a cohesive force, and will not be annoying, lose people's hearts, or even hurt the independence and creativity of the small family because of too much control.Because there is such an independent small family, the comparison between families can inspire self-motivation.

Pushing the country from the family, the implementation method is different, but the principle is the same.Mei Rong's blue eyes were bright and shining, she hugged Mu Ci and said with a smile: "I understand, this is indeed a good idea, when you let me find a chance to catch the sunshine, I knew that your footsteps would never stop Here, I have been thinking about how to better manage these expanded lands. Don’t take them down. It won’t be long before the country’s finances are overwhelmed because they cannot be governed and the burden is too heavy. Finally, they are forced to abandon them. That soldier Your blood will be shed in vain, and your footsteps will be forced to stop. Unexpectedly, while I was still thinking, Wang had already thought of a countermeasure."

"Just understand." Mu Cishun shunned Mei Rong's messy hair before she had time to comb it, and said, "There is also an advantage in choosing the Messiah, because you have them, and they have you."

Mei Rong also instantly understood Mu Ci's tongue-twister statement, which is another kind of mutual benefit and win-win situation.I also understand why Mu Ci changed his name to "Sisus May Field".

Cheng En Hou Mei Xian had already said that Mei Rong was expelled from the clan when Mu Ci invited him to become a king last time, which caused Emperor Deguang to lose his temper. In fact, Mei Rong had never been to the Mei family from the beginning. Genealogy, not the Mei family.After Mu Ci asked Mei Rong to go home to inquire about it last time, because of his defensive nature, he never approached Mei Xian to explain this matter.

The Mei family's disapproval also has the advantage of disapproval. There is already a Mei empress in the palace, and the empress has given birth to a son who will inherit the throne in the future.As foreign relatives, the Mei family shouldn't be too high-profile. If there is another third son who is the king of Chu... This is even more prominent than the Wei family in the Dongxing Duke's mansion... This is the rhythm of flying, right?

Therefore, it would be more beneficial for everyone if Mei Rong did not become a member of the Mei family. The Mei family would not be accused of being a "foreign relative" and Mei Rong would not be dragged down by pig teammates.Mu Ci simply did one thing and kept going. According to the messianic law-the sons of the messianic mother are messianic, she changed Meirong's name to "Sisus May Field", Being able to keep a "Mei" as a middle surname is considered a blessing.

Without the Mei family, Mei Rong has a Messiah.

At the beginning, because the Messiahs did not circumcise Mei Rong, Mu Ci mistakenly believed that this was a nation that could not even tolerate children, and refused to reuse it.It was only later that Mu Ci found out that it wasn’t that Austin and the others denied it. The Messiah’s mother must have given birth to the Messiah’s child. I hope, hope that the Mei family can recognize the existence of Mei Rong.

When the misunderstanding was resolved, Mu Ci was relieved of the Messiah

And the Messiahs can get the preference and care of the King of Chu because of Mei Rong. If they want more, they must recognize Mei Rong's status and hold him up. When necessary, the entire ethnic group must serve Mei Rong, for He creates benefits, becomes his staunch supporter, becomes his arm.

With such an explanation, Mei Rong is full of love for Mu Ci.

Every time he thought that Aimu's kindness was extremely deep, he would always be moved.

——Love you a little more every day!It is a true portrayal of Mei Rong's feelings at the moment.

However, Mu Ci always spoiled the situation rationally: "After the festival, you have to hand over the business affairs of the Chu Palace to the council and re-elect a chairman. Then you have to rest the Sea God Army and make preparations for the sea battle. Starting from Dinghai Prefecture, we will expand more land in Yuanyang and establish ports. This is a long-term process, not a day-to-year effort.”

"Hey... You let me go to sea?" When it came to going to sea to fight, Mei Rong was always in high spirits... Men, they all want to make meritorious deeds.But since having a son, he has a tendency to be a stay-at-home dad, and immediately confessed, "I don't really want to set sail."

He still remembers some scenes of being drunk, and those feelings of blushing and heartbeat...

"But this matter must be up to you," Mu Ci said ruthlessly, "The birthplace of the Messiah, Semilia in the northern continent, is not far from the Red Clothes Food. The translated name of the Red Clothes Food should be The Ovi Empire, according to the intelligence of the captives, the Ovi Empire is in a period of strong national power and crazy expansion. Their king Ovi II is an ambitious man. Not only Semilia is threatened by war, but the surrounding countries are also in jeopardy. According to you From the texts translated by my mother and the situation she introduced, those countries have very brilliant wisdom and civilization. The task I give you is not to directly confront the Ovi Empire, just like their expedition, it is unwise to fight long distances away, it is easy There is no successor. We must fight steadily and expand our sphere of influence. You try to open up a route that can avoid the Ovi Empire, contact oppressed countries, and tell them that luck is a country that advocates peace and is based on humanitarianism. Spirit, established an autonomous prefecture, invited outstanding talents from these countries to live, allowed them to retain their beliefs, and rescued them from the flames of war. But this is not unconditional. I don’t want a king, but I want to bring back their scholars and craftsmen first. Also, To come to Daxing, you have to pay the toll...I don’t want money, but technology and books.”

Mu Ci intends to take advantage of the flames of war ignited by the Aowei Empire to send all the nutrients of civilization in the northern continent back to Daxing first, so as to prevent countless beautiful civilization stars from being destroyed in the flames of war.

Mei Rong knew this, and he really had to be a messian with brown hair and blue eyes called "Sisus May Field" to do it. Mu Ci's changing his name may also be included in his long-distance voyage plan.Mei Rong thought that he would leave his hometown again and not see Mu Ci and his son for a long time, so he couldn't think of it.

Haven't separated yet and have already begun to miss.

Mei Rong hugged Mu Ci reluctantly.

Mu Ci patted his head: "Hey, I don't want to leave tomorrow, there is still something to do before the long voyage."

"What?" Mei Rong's face was filled with anticipation, "Should we close the door and fight for three days and three nights... If you don't eat, you won't be hungry."

"It's behind closed doors, but nothing can be done. Uncle Austin promised to share with the Taixing Military Hospital their superb technique of circumcision. You know, men cut off excess skin for themselves, for women... oh, for their partners." It is beneficial. However, there must be many obstacles in the promotion of military hospitals, so... As the first ones to eat crabs in Daxing, the two of us must lead by example. We made an appointment to go on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and the festival is over, and winter is more It's not easy to get infected."

"It's not what I thought, is it?" Mei Rong looked terrified, she didn't know when she was a child, she was cut when she was cut, and when she grew up... Thinking about it carefully, she was extremely terrified.

"Well, dear, we are going to undergo circumcision!" Mu Ci announced mercilessly.
