The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 345 Saint

"The countryside surrounds the city," Duan Donglou muttered unconsciously after I finished speaking.

On this point, Duan Donglou's comprehension is much higher than that of Duan Heng. After a little thought, he said: "Young master has a good opinion, and the poor monk roughly understands what you mean. This time the Mongolian army and Duan Shi's army attacked Xikou Mountain, the poor monk also adopted Following the same train of thought as the son, instead of fighting recklessly, the poor monk led a small team of more than 300 people, pretending to break out from the south, and diverted the enemy's main force. Among the mountains in the north, the mountains are sparsely populated and the terrain is complex, which is an excellent area for hiding. Alas, it is a pity that the three hundred warriors who accompanied me all died in battle, "

"Duan Donglou, it's good for you to have such thoughts, so I'm relieved, have a good night's rest, and let the people from Miao Village take you across the river tomorrow."

"Yes, son, that poor monk will leave for Tianlong Temple tomorrow,"

"Well, you should pay attention to your own safety, and pay more attention to Duan Heng's safety,"

"The poor monk understands,"

After Duan Donglou left, I only felt tired frequently, so I went to bed and took a nap.

After dinner, I summoned the Great Sorcerer Hongyuan alone in the room. I planned to use Wuhezhai as one of the bridgeheads for conquering Dali in the future. Naturally, I should tell Hongyuan my real identity in order to gain their greatest support.

"Holy One, you have something to do,"

"Well, Great Sorcerer Hongyuan, please sit down,"

"Thank you Holy One,"

"Hong Yuan, before going to Tianlong Temple in Dali, I told you that I will let those who follow me live a good life,"

"Yes, the saint said,"

"Since you, great wizard, regard me as your saint, then I, as a saint, cannot promise empty words. What I said is not just casually, it is because of my identity, maybe you are right? Yes, I am your saint, but I still have another identity, which is my true identity, Hong Yuan, I am the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty today, "

"Emperor of the Song Dynasty," although Hong Yuan was slightly surprised, he was not as shocked as Duan Heng and others were when they heard about my identity.

"Exactly,"

Hong Yuan knelt down on the ground, saluted and said: "The grassroots Hong Yuan sees the emperor,"

"The great wizard, please get up quickly,"

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Hong Yuan continued after standing up, "Your Majesty, in the hearts of the grassroots, the Emperor is the saint of our Miao people first, and then the emperor of the Song Dynasty."

"Well, it's okay,"

The Miao people have always been quite resistant to the rule of the Han people, but there is a big difference between Wuhe Village and the Xiangxi Miao family in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty. Wuhe Village is located at the border between Dali and the Song Dynasty. The Mongols occupied Dali and ignored Wuhe Village, so the Miao people in Wuhe Village had no sense of belonging to any regime.

Hong Yuan explained: "Your Majesty, due to its location, Wuhe Village has always been under no jurisdiction. Neither the Song Dynasty nor the Mongols have ever asked about it. This has created the independence of Wuhe. Please also ask the Emperor pardon,"

"Hong Yuan, this is the responsibility of the imperial court, not your fault. Wuhe Village originally belonged to the territory of our Song Dynasty, but the officials of all dynasties have never cared about you. Whether your life is good or not, they have never reported to the imperial court. Even in the more than three hundred years of my reign, no officials have come to your place, right?"

"Your Majesty, it is true,"

"That's why I say this is the court's responsibility,"

Hong Yuan was quite moved in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, my Wuhe Miao Village is loyal to the Holy One. Since the Holy One is the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, the grass people will be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty."

"Okay, great wizard, since I have explained my identity to you, I will naturally lead you Wuhe Miao people, and even all the Miao people in my country, to the road of prosperity,"

"Please tell the emperor what we should do in Wuhe village,"

"Hong Yuan, you are also very clear about the current situation. Ten years ago, the Mongols captured Dali and formed a siege of our dynasty. During these ten years, our Song Dynasty court did not raise the government plan, so we could only shrink our defenses. The situation is quite unfavorable to me. Since I became the throne, I have eliminated the bad habits in the court. The current government is gradually moving towards Qingming. I believe that in the future Song-Mongol war, my court will definitely win a big victory. This time, I will go to Dali is to unite the anti-Mongolian forces of the former Dali Kingdom, and you also saw that masked monk at dinner at night, he is Sariwei,"

Hong Yuan said in shock: "Sariwei, the master of Sariwei who has been well-known in Dali for the past two years,"

"Yes, it is this person. Sheliwei was the personal bodyguard of Duan Heng, the third prince of Dali back then. His real name was Duan Donglou. I have reached an agreement with Duan Heng to fight against Mongolia together. I will use you Wuhe Village as the liaison between the two parties." point, this is your first task,"

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

"The second task is still related to the military. Great Wizard, Wuhezhai has a vast area and is located in a remote mountainous area. It will not attract the attention of the Mongols. Therefore, I plan to station an elite army here. The total strength will be between 5000 and [-] people. , under your unified command, this team is composed of three forces, one is your cottage guards here, the other is two thousand Miao warriors from Tianjingtou people in western Hunan, and there are two hundred Lin'an soldiers sent by Zhenhui to be in charge of Wu The training of the river army, of course, the number of guards here is not enough at present, you can recruit troops in the surrounding areas, and I will allocate your military expenses. The soldiers of our Guangnan Military Region took Dali in one fell swoop."

"The third task is to develop the economy of Wuhe Village. If we want to get rich, economic development is the only way. We can't wait until we eliminate the Mongols to develop, but we should do it at the same time,"

Hong Yuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the grassroots think there is no problem with the second task, and I, Wuhe Village, will fully cooperate. As for the third task, Your Majesty, most of our places are mountainous areas, which are not suitable for growing crops, so what should we do?" Economic development,"

"Great Wizard, the economy I am talking about does not only refer to agriculture, but also includes handicrafts, commerce, etc. Wuhe Village is located in a hilly area surrounded by high mountains, so it is necessary to develop the economy according to local conditions. For example, your place is rich in Rapeseed, and this kind of rapeseed can be used to extract oil, you can try to make finished edible oil, and then sell it to other places,"

"Your Majesty, most of the villagers on both sides of the Huangni River grow rapeseed, and the rapeseed can indeed be used to extract oil, but how can they be sold?"

"Hong Yuan, do you know the Zhenxi Village Trade Center in Miao Village in western Hunan?"

"Your Majesty, the grassroots don't know,"

"The Miao Village where the Tianjingtou people live in Xiangxi has certain similarities with the Wuhe Village. They are also dominated by mountainous areas. The mountainous products there are rich in medicinal materials, mushrooms, and prey. The original Xiangxi Miao Village news Relatively hidden, the items in the mountains are not easy to sell. Later, with the assistance of the government, a trading center was opened in Zhenxi Village, and their items were successfully sold to various places through the trading center. Of course, what I said is just an example. I don’t know the specific situation of Wuhe village, you should discuss this matter carefully, the so-called relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water, expanding ideas, brainstorming, there will always be a way, for you here, I will definitely support you.”

"Yes, Your Majesty, at a later date, Caomin and several elders in the village will come together,"

"Well, there is another point. I know that there is no school in your Miao people's village. Most of the knowledge you learn in childhood is taught by wizards. Therefore, there are very few Miao people who can read and write. I plan to open a school here. Hope School and Hope Medical Center to help your children study and common people to see a doctor, what do you think of the Great Wizard?"

"Schools, medical clinics, these are things that our Wuhe and even the entire Miao family village lack,"

"Great wizard, popularizing education is a long-term basic national policy formulated by me, but because the savings in the national treasury are not enough to support full blooming, it can only be implemented in relatively developed areas first, but there is a company called Red Cross in Lin'an The charitable organizations of the society, they are just the opposite of what the imperial court does. They first support the remote and backward mountainous areas in our dynasty. The only problem is that there are not enough teachers to teach them. Villagers with a certain basic level go to Lin’an to receive training from the Red Cross, and after completing their studies, they can come back to serve as school teachers or doctors in medical centers.”

Hong Yuan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this is a very good thing for my Miao family. It is no problem to send people to study, but my Wuhe village is very poor, and I really don't have the ability to build a school. Those in the medical center also don’t have the ability to pay the remuneration of the husband and the doctor.”

I smiled and said, "Great wizard, the Red Cross Society I am talking about is a charitable organization. It was established by people with lofty ideals in our dynasty who donated a penny of copper money to help others. It builds schools and medical centers." The expenses, including the remuneration of the husband and the doctor, are all paid by them. Of course, you also need to support manpower when building the school and medical center,"

Hong Yuan happily said: "It's no problem, Your Majesty, the Miao family of Cao Mindai Wuhe Village has thanked the Emperor."

"You don't need to be polite, great wizard. How can I say that I am your saint?"

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

"Hong Yuan, I have set up a department called the Ethnic Affairs Department in the court, which is in charge of Tian Zuiyan, the eldest son of Tian Jingtou. From now on, if you Miao people, including any ethnic minority brothers in our dynasty, encounter problems that cannot be resolved by the local government You can go to Lin’an to find him for coordination.”

"That's a good thing, the emperor is worthy of my Miao people, no, he should be the saint of the world,"

"Naturally, in the whole world, is it possible that the king's land, since they are all my subjects, I will certainly treat them equally, and I have the obligation to let everyone live a good life,"

After hearing this, Hong Yuan was grateful and knelt down respectfully: "The grass people thanked the emperor again, the grass people vowed to follow the emperor to the death, long live the emperor, long live the emperor,"

"Great wizard, please, this is not court, so there is no need to be polite,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is tired all the way, please rest early,"

"Well, I'm really tired, Hong Yuan, my identity outside is Mr. Huyan, the owner of Lin'an Shifeng Trading Company, you can call me that as well,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Caomin understands, Caomin will leave first,"

After Hong Yuan left, I fell asleep unconsciously under Fang Ling's massage.

I thought that after a night's rest, I would be able to go back the next day, but when I woke up the next day, I realized that it was already evening, and I slept for a full twenty hours, about the time of my life. The longest time in memory,
