Chapter 1273

It turned out that these beautiful girls heard that their leader Tang Wenhao and queen Xiuer had come back. At the urging of their parents, they dressed beautifully and returned to the palace. In order to express their regret, they all knelt at the door and waited for Tang Wenhao's hair.

Tang Wenhao naturally won't punish them, but through Xiuer's translation, tell them to go home! Don't come back in the future. Find a man to marry!

Now, the beautiful girls were stunned. After looking at each other, they kowtowed to Tang Wenhao and begged Tang Wenhao to forgive them. In fact, Tang Wenhao didn't blame them, but wanted to give them freedom. However, according to the rules of Miaozhai people for thousands of years, they can't marry even if they don't return to the palace. They can only keep their integrity for the leader and never serve other men.

No way, Tang Wenhao had to agree that they all moved back to their original room. After a while, other old people with some identities in fairy stronghold also came. Chief Zheng first pulled Tang Wenhao, Xiu'er and Ruan Ling into a room, "Xiu'er, leader, tell me first. Won't you go again after you come back this time?"

In order not to attack her father, Xiu'er nodded and said, "well, Dad, don't worry! This time the leader came back to lead us Miao stronghold people to live a good life."

"Oh, that's good. Let's have a meeting in the stockade immediately. After that, inform the chiefs of the other 35 stockaded villages to gather in the fairy stockade and say that the chief is back." chief Zheng smiled excitedly.

Today, his daughter Xiu'er and his son-in-law Tang Wenhao came back. He was happier than anyone else, because it was not just a simple hope that his daughter and son-in-law would go home, but showed that his prestige as chief Zheng had been re established. Even if he was not flexible, no one could shake his position in the 36th stronghold.

"Dad, slow down first. We also want to know the specific situation of the thirty-six strongholds," said Xiu'er.

Chief Zheng asked suspiciously, "Xiu'er, what do you know? It's still the same. The only difference is that since half a year ago, everyone's heart is a little scattered when they see that you haven't come back. Now that you're all back, there's no problem."

"Oh! Didn't the government army harass us again?" asked Xiu'er.

"No, but some foreigners came to see it and brought some daily necessities to our stockade, but everyone didn't like them. They thought they treated us in the Miao stockade as monsters." chief Zheng said.

"Oh, no, forget it. Those foreigners are probably tourists. They think we Miao village people are backward, closed and curious. It's nothing to come into the mountain and have a look. We should be more hospitable. Dad, now that it's the 21st century, we Miao Village really should keep pace with the times, adapt to the development of modern society and can't stand still. If this goes on, Miao village will perish sooner or later , even if the government troops don't eliminate us, we can't develop ourselves. Dad, this time we go home, in fact, we want to lead the Miao people in the thirty-six villages out of poverty and towards prosperity. However, Dad, this is not a matter of one sentence or two. We need to reform, go out, bring out our unique culture of the Miao people, show it to the world, and make the outside advanced When culture comes in, we can't be so conservative. Otherwise, the Miao people will never get out of the mountains and will always live in poverty. This time, when they come back from outside, they pass by Luang Prabang and other places. I know that there are so rich places in Laos. Do you know why Luang Prabang people are rich? It's because they are open and take us Lao people The hospitality and enthusiasm of the Miao people have been shown. People from outside are welcome to travel to the local area and foreigners are also welcome to integrate into the local life. If we in the Miao village also hold this mentality, the life of the Miao people will change soon. "Xiu'er first makes this kind of foreshadowing. She knows whether Tang Wenhao can help the Miao village this time, we must convince her father first.

After hearing Xiuer's words, chief Zheng was very surprised. He seemed to hear something. He asked suspiciously, "Xiuer, won't you let our Miao Village surrender to the government army?"

If you follow Xiuer's words, it means that the Miao people in their thirty-six villages will accept the jurisdiction and rule of the central government. However, this is their biggest contradiction, because the purpose of fighting between the Miao people and the government army for so many years is to achieve autonomy and not under the jurisdiction of the government.

"Dad, it's not surrender, it's mutual compromise. If we Miao people want to develop ourselves, we must have a stable environment. Like now, even if the government forces don't eliminate them, who dares to do business with us Miao people? But if we want to develop ourselves, we must earn money from outsiders. Where can we get money except for our own food? Therefore, we must contact the outside world and earn money from outside People's money has the opportunity to get rich. However, in the eyes of outsiders, we are against the government and are barbarian forces. After all, the government is a legitimate government and has been recognized by most countries of the United Nations. We Miao people are a nation, not a country. We have been in a stalemate like this. We are the victims, not others. " Xiuer said calmly.

Ruan Ling understood Xiu'er's words and secretly praised her. She thought Xiu'er was still very intelligent. Her words were organized, factual, reasonable, reasonable and relaxed.

"Sister, what does Xiu'er say?" Tang Wenhao asked. After listening for a long time, he didn't know what Xiu'er was talking to chief Zheng?

"Hehe, your daughter-in-law is persuading your father-in-law to accept the government's negotiations. Let alone, your daughter-in-law has a good eloquence. I think your father-in-law has wavered." Ruan Ling smiled.

As soon as she finished, chief Zheng nodded and said to his daughter Xiu'er, "Xiuer, dad knows what you said is reasonable, but it's too important. Dad doesn't count. He must consult with other chiefs. In addition, at first, it can only be discussed on a small scale. Only after obtaining the support of some people can it be promoted slowly and more people accept it. Otherwise, something big will happen. Xiuer, for the time being, you can't talk to the second Someone said, "do you understand?"

"Ah? Dad, why?" Xiuer asked in surprise.

"Xiu'er, the situation of our Miao people is far from what you think. You don't want to think about it. How many young people in our Miao village have died at the gunpoint of the government army in recent years? If there is no one thousand, there are 800? What is this? This is a deep blood feud. Your uncles died at the gunpoint of the government army. You ask your aunts not to hate the government army now, but to surrender Who can accept them? And those who have lost their sons and fathers. Their hatred for the government army is deep in the bone marrow and is difficult to change overnight. We must be prepared for long-term persuasion, and we can't force it. Otherwise, the Miao village will really be over, the people will disperse, the village will disperse, and we will become the eternal sinners of the Miao people. " Chief Zheng sighed.

Xiuer was also discouraged when her father said this, because she knew that Tang Wenhao and Ruan Ling could not live for a long time. Mans stopped talking. The Ruan family still has a big family! Especially now the personnel are moving to death valley, and many things are waiting for Ruan Ling and Tang Wenhao to deal with. How can she stay in Miao village all the time?

"Dad, how long will it take for us in Miao village to accept this compromise?" Xiu'er asked.

"Well, it's hard to say, Xiu'er. It depends on several aspects. First, let the leader do something in Miao village and let our people accept and admire him again, because only he can bring everyone's cohesion. No one else has such ability and influence. When everyone listens to the leader, everything will come naturally and everyone will be free However, he followed him; second, he was able to communicate with his concubines as quickly as possible, and let these concubines return to their respective stockaded villages to publicize his ideas and your ideas. Of course, this should be done slowly, not in a hurry. My father estimated that in half a year, no one would listen to the leader. " Although chief Zheng hasn't read a book, these words are still a little level.

"Oh, let's go step by step! Dad, go talk to some old people in the family!" Xiu'er also knows that this matter can't be done too quickly. We'll discuss it with Tang Wenhao and them later.

"Well, Xiu'er, you and the leader should be more close to everyone. Don't be divided. Tonight, we'll have a banquet in the stockade to celebrate your return. By the way, you have to tell everyone why you've been there for more than a year? Why are you coming back so late? Dad went out first. By the way, give the child to dad?" chief Zheng looked at Ruan Ling and said.

Ruan Ling hurriedly gave the child to chief Zheng with a smile. She observed chief Zheng. Even if he talked to Xiuer, she also wanted to see his granddaughter from time to time. There was no old man who loved his children and grandchildren.

Chief Zheng went out happily with his granddaughter in his arms. Xiuer turned to Tang Wenhao and Ruan Ling, "Baby, sister a Ling, you heard that. My father means that it takes time and baby's efforts to persuade the chiefs of the thirty-six strongholds to submit to the government. According to my father, it's difficult not to do it for a year and a half. After all, many families in Miao stronghold have deep blood feuds with the government army. It's not so easy to resolve this hatred, but we I can't live for a long time. I know there are a lot of things to deal with at home. I didn't dare say we can't live for a long time just now. I'm afraid if I said it, my father can't accept it. What should I do? "

"Baby, what do you say?" Ruan Ling handed Tang Wenhao her beautiful eyes.

"Ha ha, elder sister, you know. I listen to you in everything. I want to do something for Xiuer. Of course, I want to come out here and go home early, but I don't know what to do. I can fight or design clothes, but there seems to be no need for fashion design here." Tang Wenhao smiled helplessly.
