Under the arrangement of Quan Zhixian, the director of the office, those chieftains also entered the palace one after another to meet the emperor Wang Guorui. And these chieftains alone have hundreds of people, and the total number of guards, maids, slaves, etc. they brought is several times their number, so this group of people is still quite large. And they were received by United Front Work Minister Zhou Chenlai. They all lived in the famous hotel, which was the Siyi Pavilion in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but now it is called the United Front Hotel.

After receiving Wang Guorui's order to meet them, these chieftains hurriedly dressed up, and then, led by the staff and guards in the office, they came to the palace and prepared to be received by Wang Guorui in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. And this Hall of Mental Cultivation is no longer the place where the emperor used to work, but it is specially used as the emperor's private reception room. Wang Guorui handles official documents every day and returns to the Qianqing Palace for disposal. The reception room is separate from the business area.

"I have seen my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" More than a hundred chieftains knelt down in unison.

"So tidy? Did you practice beforehand?" Wang Guorui thought.

Wang Guorui took the initiative to say: "You don't need to kneel in the future, our new court has abolished kneeling etiquette! Please sit down!"

Wang Guorui has also kept pace with the times, and put some sponge sofas in this Hall of Mental Cultivation, all of which are long and can seat many people, unlike in the past when courtiers could only stand or kneel when they saw the emperor In the future, it will be mainstream for everyone to sit and discuss things together, so sofas must be equipped.

Those more than a hundred toasts then sat on the sofa, but they looked very reserved, and they didn't dare to lean back at all.

Wang Guorui directly took the initiative to pretend to ask: "Everyone, what do you want to see me for?"

And these guys suddenly knelt down in unison again, and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, expel the Manchu Tartars, and restore the mountains and rivers of China!"

"Get up! As I said, there is no need to bow down!" Wang Guorui said.

Those toasts are up. Then it seemed that a leading person took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, I am the chieftain of Guizhou, and my name is Cui Minzhou. My family has been canonized by the imperial court for generations, starting from the time of the Great Ming Dynasty. That is to say, I have begun to accept the canonization of the imperial court. And our family is from a generation that manages the Guizhou area on behalf of the imperial court, and our Cui family is willing to follow the example of our ancestors, to manage the Guizhou territory for the **** emperor, and to educate the people for the **** emperor!"

"Your Majesty, we are all willing to protect the territory for the Emperor. Educate the people!" Everyone said together.

However, some people went too far, saying: "Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty has no way, and actually deprived our family of power. Back then, the Ming Dynasty conferred on our family, but the foreign enemies of the Qing Dynasty actually deprived us of our position, so we still Definitely the emperor, make the decision for me! Please the emperor return the land of our ancestors to us? Man Qing is a traitor. It is a heinous crime, please return the land to me!"

Wang Guorui sneered in his heart: "Although the Manchus made many mistakes, it is absolutely correct to at least reform the issue of land return. You think that if you put the blame on the Manchus, I will pay you back." Land? Do you think that my brain is flooded, or that I forgot to eat the brain fragments? The Manchu Qing knew that they would deprive you of the chieftain's power, so I will give it back to you?"

However, Wang Guorui has a way to deal with them, and then asks: "How is your life there? Is the life difficult?"

And that thief Cui Minzhou turned his eyeballs, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, our life is hard there! It can be said that the people are not clothed, and many of them can't eat enough. And the people are living hard, our subordinates Every single one of the clansmen is having a very difficult life and can hardly survive at all. I also ask the emperor to distribute food, gold and silver. Let our people improve their lives and let them bathe in the emperor's grace!"

"Speaking is better than singing. According to the virtue of our appropriation, if you don't swallow more than 70% of it, then my surname is written upside down? Well, it is written upside down and my surname is Wang!" Wang Guo thought Ray.

These toasts. Every time the rewards issued by the court, etc., how many times have they been implemented? Since ancient times, the central government has allocated funds, how many of the funds can be 100% used for real purposes? After being forwarded by layers of organizations, and then these guys plucked their hair, it was even more powerful.

Those are still officials, officials directly under the management of the central court. This is the case for senior officials, so these chieftains have no integrity in doing things. Maybe other officials just "float" 30 to 50%, but these chieftains are really unscrupulous. They use their ruling power and absolute leadership, and they dare to take the gold and silver issued by the court. All supplies were swallowed up. After they swallowed the whole picture, they sold it to ordinary people at a high price again, so that they could make huge profits.

"Since your local development is not good, why don't I have a solution!" Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui took the initiative to say, "Lin'er, come in!"

And soon, Chen Lin, who is the queen and director of the Ethnic Affairs Management Committee, came in, and took the initiative to sit next to Wang Guorui.

"This is Chen Lin, one of my queens, who is also the director of the Ethnic Affairs Management Committee, responsible for the affairs of your ethnic minorities!" Wang Guorui said.

"I've seen the empress!" Everyone said together.

When those chieftains saw Chen Lin, they were more respectful than seeing Wang Guorui. After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one! Although Wang Guorui is the emperor, it is impossible for him to devote all his energy to the affairs of these ethnic minorities. There are more things for him to do. However, Chen Lin was in the Ethnic Affairs Management Committee and was in charge of dealing with the affairs of these ethnic minorities. She would rather offend Wang Guorui than offend her, otherwise it would be easy for Chen Lin to put on small shoes for them.

"Everyone, in fact, I am also an ethnic minority in China, but an ethnic group in Taiwan, the Gaoshan ethnic group. And the emperor was in Taiwan at the time, and he attached great importance to cooperating with us. He also sent agricultural technicians to our place to develop and grow agricultural products together. , and then led us step by step to the road of becoming rich. And now our father is free, we can live a good life at home every day, and we don’t have to directly care about the lives of any clan members. Because everyone has become rich, there is no need to do more What's wrong?" Chen Lin said.

This is indeed the case with the Gaoshan tribe. Since Wang Guorui married Chen Lin, the Gaoshan tribe has also combined some local species to develop mountain forest planting, and then even export them to the mainland to earn some economic income. The Gaoshan people also gradually gave up the rule of the chiefs, and Wang Guorui directly sent officials to manage them. As for Chen Lin's father, he didn't say anything, because he knew what was more important. Instead of ruling the Gaoshan tribe here with a population of only 10,000, it is better to directly rely on the queen's daughter to directly obtain a higher status.

If you are greedy for this small population of less than one county, then it will affect Chen Lin's perception in the eyes of the emperor Wang Guorui, and further affect the interests of the entire Gaoshan tribe. Isn't that a loss? Therefore, Taiwan's land reform went very smoothly, and the local people also gained enough income, so naturally they have no objections.

But Chen Lin changed the subject and said directly: "I think our Ethnic Affairs Management Committee will send an economic development advisory group to various places, and then develop and change your local economy, change the economic model, and then let the local development step by step The situation is better. And combined with the local geography, make corresponding changes, and then ensure that the local economy can develop and live a good life?”

After hearing this, the faces of the chieftains immediately changed. Chen Lin has talked to this point, don't they understand that they are all stupid pigs. Wang Guorui wanted to send people there, and he sent a lot of people at once. It is said that it is to develop the local economic level, but in fact what is going on, you can think of what is tricky in it with your ass. Which of those chieftains is not a guy who has been passed down from generation to generation. The experience of this kind of political struggle has already been passed down to the bone, and he is very experienced. When Chen Lin mentioned this plan, it was enough for them to understand what was going on behind the scenes.

In name, they send economic development consultants, but this is completely sending people over to grab power! This is absolutely unbearable, so they decided to quit.

"Your Majesty, do you want to change the system that has been in the past?" Cui Minzhou asked.

"Oh? What have I changed?" Wang Guorui asked~lightnovelpub.net~Cui Minzhou was also speechless, Wang Guorui just sent an economic development advisory group, nothing changed!

"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. This time we hope to request canonization. Please issue the decree for canonization as soon as possible, and then we can all go back to lead the people as soon as possible. However, if the emperor is unwilling to issue the decree for canonization, that's okay." It doesn’t matter, I think the people will definitely make the right choice. I think, as long as the people support us, then we should and can continue to lead the local area!” Cui Minzhou said.

"See off!" Wang Guorui said bluntly.

Those chieftains also left immediately, obviously they didn't want to stay here anymore. If Wang Guorui is willing to maintain the status quo and continue to canonize them, they are all willing to receive the canonization. But if Wang Guorui wanted to take away their territory and power, they would not agree.

"Hmph, shameless, then don't blame me for being cruel! Go and call Liu Feng from the General Intelligence Administration, and let him do this thing cleanly! If it wasn't for me, I was worried about killing people in the Palace of Mental Cultivation. , it’s not good for my reputation, I slaughtered them all on the spot!” Wang Guorui said.
