Chapter seven hundred and eighty eight.
The cold nobleman's character could not be maintained anymore, and Mao Xingjian's mouth was twitching wildly. Even if he was the prince, this was the first time he had encountered this in his life.
Emotional dispute!
The two groups of people fighting had been separated. One of the Indians was beaten so badly that his eyes were swollen, his lips swollen into two sausages, his nose was bleeding from his nose, and he sat on the ground and hummed constantly. The person who hit people was the most cowardly and bullied by the fat Korean man who was usually the most cowardly among immigrants. He seemed to have his surname Jin. At this time, he was snot and tears and could not tell that he could just fuck the tall and mighty Su Ren down. He knelt there and kowtowed.
"Crown Prince, the young man is shameless to live! You have to make the decision for the young man! Let this adulterer sink into the lake and pond!!!"
Looking further inside, a hole was made in the gate, and a Korean woman who was covered in a quilt and was crying and could vaguely see the outline.
That's how it happened. If the beaten Su people had a Chinese name, they would definitely be the one with the surname Wang and Lao Wang next door.
However, this guy surnamed Jin is also a bastard. He is lazy when working. After getting the money to sell food, he ran to the Hanjia store all day long like the degenerate second generation who fell into the future. He just started working in the Hanjia store. The kid ran away without helping and then encountered this scene when he got home.
But no matter how bastard this surname is Jin, etiquette and zhen are also one of the basic programs of Confucianism. Zhu Zi said that starvation is small, but loss of integrity is big! A few years ago, Mao Jue revised the law and moved the pre-marriage and cheating on the death penalty from the death penalty, and only changed it to a fine. Mao Xingjian even made a big fuss with him, but the matter really came to him, and Mao Xingjian was also at a loss.
"If this happened to your tribe, how would you deal with this person?"
Pointing at the "Old Wang next door" who was beaten and still hummed with a stubborn "Old Wang" standing up stubbornly, Mao Xingjian turned his head and asked Su Yu, but Su Yu's answer once again made him feel a little urge to vomit blood.
"No sin."
It was also seen that Mao Xingjian's gloomy face was, and Su Yu hurriedly added: "The son of the Lord of Thousand Ox, the Su people do not have so many rules like the Ming people. Our women have the same status as men. Men can go out to find other women to mate, and women can also mate with optimistic men. As long as the woman is not forced, even her husband will not care. So in the Su tribe, he is innocent of the long snake!"
Mao Xingjian was speechless again. On the left were the Ming immigrants staring at him, and on the right were a group of Indians, who were also staring at him. They pinched their chins and were bothering each other for two or three seconds. Then Mao Xingjian shook his head with difficulty.
"Transfer the orphans' orders, and summon the heads of the clan and elders of the clan to the prince's mansion for a meeting!"
His eyes fell on the fat man surnamed Jin and the long snake who was beaten and hummed with a humming voice. Mao Xingjian waved his hand gloomyly: "Take them away too!"
.........
Unlike Mao Jue, Mao Xingjian likes to be high and above, so he built the court on the first floor of the Prince's Mansion completely in the imitation of the Eastern Palace. On the three-staircase in the center, there was only one of his mahogany chairs, with cushions placed on both sides of the left and right, allowing the ministers of Snake City to kneel on the left and right. If according to Indian tradition, Han Xiaomo, the "Great Witch", also needs to attend, but this girl was busy preparing lunch, and Mao Xingjian did not have the consciousness to call her, so her position was empty.
The conflict broke out today, and even the atmosphere in the elders' council was not very good. Just now, the former chief Dalatra could not wait to yell in Su language.
"The eldest elder, the son of the Lord of Thousand Ox, accused that the tribe was unfair to them, demanded that they also provide cigarettes and wine, and immediately put a long snake on it!"
Before Su Yu could finish his translation, the thorn had already exploded, and he jumped up like thunder. He was about to jump over while stroking his arms, and shouting and scolding angrily while fisting.
"Shameless dog man, you also want cigarettes and alcohol. Grandpa's fist, do you want?"
"Zhao Conglong!"
Listening to Mao Xingjian's roar, the rough man couldn't help but froze, but then he pointed to the opposite side in anger and asked angrily: "Crown Prince, are you the prince of my Ming Dynasty or these barbarian princes?"
"Your Highness, if this continues, the business he is in is not going to be able to continue. Even if the prince does not reward this title, he will have to go back to the Ming Dynasty!"
He was extremely angry. Even Han Jinnong, who had always been kind and made money, had a gloomy tone. Although he was calm, Mao Xingjian could still hear the uncompromising tone clearly.
This is the biggest ruling crisis he encountered since the establishment of Snake City. Now he suddenly understood why Mao Jue had to send him to the New World. Dealing with conflicts between factions was the basic skill of a superior, but it was also particularly difficult. A typical bad example was Chongzhen. He always thought that he had everything and tried to take advantage of the chaotic party struggles in the court. As a result, sharp party conflicts collapsed the entire Ming Empire.
Taking a deep breath, Mao Xingjian's face was extremely dull and said to the thorny neck gloomy: "Gou is the prince of Snake City! Get out!"
"Crown Prince! Hi~"
He shook his head with anger, and the thorny neck sat back again, sending him away, Mao Xingjian's eyes fell on Han Jinnong's face again. This time, he bent slightly downward: "Shopkeeper Han, can I make this matter judgement?"
Without saying anything, Han Jinnong just bent down and gave a greeting. Following him, a dozen other angry inner-legged men, who were also sitting back with their bodies leaning forward and wanting to stand up.
After temporarily calming the tribes, Mao Xingjian breathed a little relieved. Once again, his eyes fell on the seat of the elders of the Tarak tribe, but he first asked about the case of the third brother of the Jin family and the Changshe.
"Who else is there in Changshe's family?"
"Three brothers, one lady, three children, two daughters!"
The clan where the long snake is located, the clan chief Wild Bison answered one by one without concealing it. This answer made Mao Xingjian take a deep breath, and then exhale again with a gloomy voice: "The wife of the third son of the Jin family, I will be awarded this long snake alone."
As soon as these words came out, the other side of the Ming people immigrated here was almost blown up. Even Han Jinnong's face was twitching and he wanted to stand up quickly, but Mao Xingjian's face was gloomy and suddenly reached out to them, and said it again anxiously and quickly.
"The Jin family woman has lost her integrity and it is useless to keep it. As compensation, Changshe must give his two daughters to Jin Laosan as his wife and concubines! In the future, we must strictly abide by the rules of our Ming Dynasty! Otherwise, we will die!"
This sentence finally made the Ming immigrants who were ready to move finally relax. The judgment was fair. Even if the thorny neck was sniffed, she sat back. But on the other side, Dalatra, who had just heard Mao Xingjian award the Jin family women to them, had a smile on Dalatra and other groups of chiefs exploded again, shouting Su Yu and protesting excitedly. But this time, Mao Xingjian really didn't spoil them. He took his single shotgun and smashed it on the table with a bang.
"Enough!"
"The residents of Gu and Snake City respect your Tarak tribe, respect your beliefs, sacrifices, and habits. Snake City also gave you warm accommodation and full food. Gu did his best to treat the two tribes fairly, but respect is relative. While your Tarak tribe is respected, should we also respect the customs of our Snake City?"
"If you cannot respect each other, if you Su people are just a group of rogues who only care about themselves and are unreasonable, Snake City will not welcome you, get out of the lonely city!"
Listening to Su Yu's slightly trembling translation, the Indian side also became quiet. Respecting the social morality of the Su people is also an extremely important point. Mao Xingjian's accusations made them speechless, and it is more realistic. In Snake City, life is obviously better than starving and freezing in the snow and ice. If it were in previous years, in two months of winter, there may have been dozens or hundreds of tribes who died of freezing and starving, but in Snake City, not only have they not been frozen to death, but the tribe has had more than thirty newborns.
It's too hard to let them go!
After being silent for a long time, Dalatra turned his head and whispered to the other elders for a few more words, then he nodded helplessly.
"The clans are willing to comply with the ruling of the chief, but since the chiefs respect each other, and if there are bull tribes who can drink and smoke, should our Tarak tribe enjoy the same right?"
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 people don't raise lazy people, right?"
"Great Chief, if there are lazy people in the Sioux, they will be expelled from the tribe!"
"If you have a bull team, you won't raise lazy people!"
Mao Xingjian leaned forward and pointed to the big silver ingot that Adatla had curiously taken to his hand, and said dullly: "So we founded the money thing, and you can earn gold, silver, copper and food by working and working. With these, you can exchange for anything you want."
"My subordinates began to work hard in the spring and cultivated the rice they ate. They ate. In autumn, they sold the excess grain in exchange for silver, and then exchanged cigarettes and wine for silver. When you came in autumn, they only did the last part of their labor, so they paid you with grain! Great elder, tell me, is it fair?"
It has to be admitted that the Su people are not unreasonable. To a certain extent, the Su people with simple social thinking are even more reasonable than the Ming people. Once again, listening to Mao Xingjian's questioning, a group of Su elders became silent.
However, the most basic element of the superiors is to give a sweet date with a stick. If these Tarak tribes are forced too hard, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other trouble. After taking a deep breath, Mao Xingjian issued another new decree dull and rapid.
"From tomorrow, the labor service of the Ming people will be lifted, and all the work of resting and reclamation of the city wall will be distributed to the Su people. However, I will take out silver from the taxes of Snake City to pay you as compensation. If you want to buy cigarettes and wine, you can exchange it fairly for yourself!"
“Is it fair?”
Listening to Mao Xingjian's serious and murderous roar, this time, whether it was the Ming people's immigration or the Su people's elders' group, he finally got off his head in a rare and neat way.
