From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1164

The initial road of a nation is always narrow and cramped. Every step forward is full of resistance, accompanied by stagnation and pain, and finally there is a smooth road.

After repeated cycles, the road is the same, and no epoch-making changes have been made, so another way must be found.

Of course, the other road is more painful, and the Jurchens paid the price of blood.

But, it was integrated.

Everything has a good start.

Zhou Yuan spent a few quiet days in the palace of Shenzhou, chatting with Daichan about his thoughts and the future.

Cai Ni also came to join in the fun, insisting on showing filial piety, which made Daichan very embarrassed.

Zhou Yuan now knows that Daichan is a very shy character in terms of men and women. She always blushes, always keeps silent, and then sheds tears silently.

But when you say forget it, she says she is not satisfied.

What an unpredictable habit.

Fortunately, Cai Ni is always open and aboveboard. Not only can she speak, but she can also do what she says. She is a ruthless person who sticks to her word.

"Master, your face is full of tears. Don't be like this..."

Cai Ni kissed her and whispered, "Isn't this a good thing..."

Wanyan Daichan covered her face and said nothing.

The sky gradually brightened.

The three people who woke up slowly were going to do their business. They dressed up and took Wu Dingzhong and other Han people to visit various tribes for rectification activities.

Qu Ling, Qiao Chaiqing and others had already gone ahead. They brought a large amount of food and cloth and formed a mighty team.

Spread the news of the talks, let everyone know the pace of ethnic integration, form the trend and culture of this area, which will affect people's hearts and form a real trend of integration.

This involves many specific details.

For example, Han merchants came to reduce taxes, such as Manchu-Han marriage, and government gifts.

There is also the establishment of schools, the opening of the imperial examination, the promotion of Chinese studies and Chinese language, and the opening of promotion channels.

Only interests, only the most tangible things, can make everyone pursue.

Over a month, Zhou Yuan and Dai Chan visited more than ten tribes. Under the objective situation, each tribe chose the path of struggle.

This is in line with the interests of the nation and the times. The leaders of those tribes can see the situation clearly. Even if they want to be dishonest, they should at least wait until they recover their vitality.

Of course, there are also individual nationalists who try to make something happen.

Taoist Master Songshanzi used a mother-and-child flintlock gun to directly blow up the opponent's head.

The Taoist master's martial arts are declining, but his spearmanship has improved a lot.

In any case, the effect of this long visit is very obvious. Not only did it explain the future development path clearly, but it also completed the appeasement and assistance to each tribe. The entire Liaodong region has formed a trend of integration.

On February 28, when Zhou Yuan and Wanyan Daichan returned to Shenzhou, it was said that four couples of Manchu and Han went to the government to receive them.

This area, the real integration began.

"It's just the beginning, this is not enough."

Zhou Yuan sat on the chair and chuckled: "The stability of an ethnic group or a region is nothing more than two things, production and distribution."

"We always talk about policies and distribution, but how to produce has become a problem."

"How to open up the fertile land of the Sanjiang Plain, how to cultivate rice, how to develop animal husbandry, how to sell grain and meat, how to stabilize the market, which direction should the policy lean towards, how to support?"

"Too many things need to be done, the team must be formed as soon as possible, otherwise you will be too busy."

Wanyan Daichan picked up the teacup, blew it gently, and handed it to Zhou Yuan obediently.

Zhou Yuan took a sip of wine and asked, "Do you need help in this regard?"

Wanyan Daichan smiled and said, "No, Sheng Ye has been the governor of Shenzhou for more than ten years, and he has experience in this regard."

Zhou Yuan said, "Then there are basically no major problems and contradictions here. The next step is to follow the steps and continue the virtuous cycle."

"But Daichan, you must pay attention. Since you have decided to merge and have embarked on this path, you must be firm and not waver."

"If you encounter troublemakers or those with ulterior motives, you must severely suppress them and never No mercy."

"When encountering disagreements, we must grasp the core contradictions and not be shackled by those so-called rules and ancestral systems."

"If it can make the people live better and make this place more prosperous, there must be no problem, so the so-called rules should be inclined to it."

"Only by grasping the direction can the Jurchens truly recover."

Wanyan Daichan looked at him with eyes like water, and said softly: "You shouldn't fight, you should be a civil official, your level of governing internal affairs is higher than your military level."

After all, I am the contemporary Zhuge Liang, and Wu Hou is also better at it.In internal affairs.

Zhou Yuan flattered himself for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly. In fact, the reason was that he had decades of experience in internal affairs in his previous life, but no experience in war.

"Daichan..."

Zhou Yuan looked at her and whispered, "You will have a hard time in the future. You must persist. I will turn Dajin into a giant, and everyone can thrive under its body."

"As a part of Dajin, the Jurchens will also benefit a lot."

"For example, Qu Yatou has been eyeing Lushunkou. After that, she will prepare to build a port. It will require a large number of laborers, mineral resources, and many things. These can help the Jurchens to a certain extent."

"The road ahead is long, let's take it step by step."

Wanyan Daichan's eyes suddenly turned red. She couldn't help but sit in Zhou Yuan's arms and whispered, "I understand. I will definitely cooperate with Qu Ling. At most, I will call her sister."

"I... I know... you are leaving..."

At the end, she hugged Zhou Yuan's neck and buried her head in his chest.

Zhou Yuan said slowly: "It's time to go back. We can't delay any longer."

"I left Beijing in June last year. It's March now, which means I've been away from home for eight and a half months."

"To be honest, it's never been this long."

"Shenjing was in chaos, and things happened. I miss Jianjia and Xiaoying, and I miss my senior sister and Qinshui."

He paused slightly and said softly: "Ningyue was conceived in May. Calculating the time, she may give birth at the end of March."

"I must be by her side."

Wanyan Daichan wiped her tears and said: "I understand, I understand everything. I know you should go, I just can't bear to leave you."

"Although I've been busy these days, I'm very down-to-earth and I've found the motivation to move forward."

"I'll do everything well and wait for you to come to Shenzhou to find me again."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "I'll come. I'm still worried about the mining development and port construction here."

"Go back to Shenjing to accompany your family and solve the last thing on land. I'll come to see you."

Wanyan Daichan kissed him and stood up.

She was tearful and whispered, "Let me dance for you. I've been able to dance since I was a child, but I never perform."

"In this life, I'll dance only for you."

She waved her sleeves and twisted her body. Her tall figure exuded amazing charm.

With her steps dancing and her eyes seductive, she sang a folk tune. I don't know where it came from. It has the style of the grassland and the gentleness of a woman, which makes people's hearts beat.

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing when watching her dancing.

He could tell that Daichan had definitely asked Caini for advice.

He could tell that Daichan had been preparing for this dance for a long time, and that her claim of having known it since she was a child was all fake.
