Chapter 194 At least try
"We became famous after this incident, but our lives have been threatened in the near future. Fortunately, we are all in the palace and there won't be such obvious danger. After this incident is over, there shouldn't be any big problems." Yinzhen added.
After all, the Emperor took timely remedial measures and was willing to trade cement with other countries. As for how to trade, that was all up to the Emperor and his people. At least on the surface, it gave other countries a chance!
We will not let them lose all hope of getting cement, so that they will do something desperate.
"I don't really care. After all, no one will go against the Qing Dynasty because of this cement. The emperor has already said that it can be traded," Wen Yao shook her neck. "As long as all those people leave in a few months, we won't have much of a problem. It's just that the villains are difficult to deal with. The benefits brought by this cement can make many people take risks, such as the White Lotus Sect under the banner of anti-Qing and restoration of Ming."
Yinzhen asked all the servants except Qian Bao and Madam Cui He to leave, and then he said, "Don't you want to improve the status of the Han people? The White Lotus Sect is a folk organization of the Han people."
"How can they be the same? The White Lotus Sect has existed since the Ming Dynasty. It was not established to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty or to save the Han people who suffered in the Qing Dynasty. It is just another ambitious sect. The people suffer when the country prospers and when the country perishes." Wen Yao did not have a good impression of the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect originated in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was very good at that time, but it changed later. "In fact, many Han court officials are working hard for the status of the Han people nowadays. They try their best to protect all the people in the places where they serve."
"The Royal Father advocates the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty. However, talented court officials, whether Manchu or Han, will be given important positions." Yinzhen felt that he should say a few words for his Royal Father.
"Tsk," Wen Yao rolled her eyes, "How many Han people can be given important positions? Aren't they still the Han people who are on guard? Let's not talk about the court officials. I don't know much, so I can't generalize. But let's talk about the law. What about the emperor breaking the law and the common people being punished the same? Even if it's ordinary people, a Manchu killing a Han and a Han killing a Manchu, do you think it's the same?"
After all, it existed in ancient times. It was normal to have slaves, and even beating and killing slaves was normal.
Although the masters of these houses had no right to beat or kill slaves, it was normal for every family to have a few slaves die.
However, although they are both common people, the punishments for breaking the law for Han and Manchu people are different.
Yinzhen asked Qian Bao and Cui He to go downstairs as well. Yinzhen and Wen Yao went to the dormitory and lay on the bed.
"Have you found out something new? Why are you so dissatisfied this time?" Yinzhen felt that his wife's words this time were a bit harsh and something was wrong.
[I found it. I saw a piece of news on the latest gossip on the homepage. After clicking on it, I found out that a rich young man from a Manchu family hit an old man on the road and killed him. The carriage ran over the old man and he had to pay five taels of silver.] Wen Yao was very angry when she saw this, [Tangtang, do you know? That young man didn't have any other punishment, not even a stick.]
"This is not a problem of Qing Dynasty law, it's just a problem of local officials. Where is this place? I will report to my second brother, the Crown Prince." Yinzhen leaned his head on Wen Yao's body. He was not surprised. This was a very normal thing. Even if it was a normal treatment, Yinzhen guessed that the rich young man would not be punished.
"I told my second brother, the Crown Prince, but in the end it was the driver of the rich young master who was punished." Wen Yao touched Yinzhen's face from time to time, "It's just that the superiors set an example for the subordinates. The Emperor emphasizes the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty and suppresses the Han people, which is why the court officials are like this, not to mention the people."
"The royal family who rise to power will naturally protect their race and improve the status of their family. You don't understand government affairs. You only see the surface of the final presentation of this matter." Yinzhen raised his head and looked at Wen Yao's chin. "You want to do the same as in later generations. I can tell you that it is impossible at least when the emperor is in power."
"But it's okay to want to improve the status of the Han people. The world you want requires generations of hard work," Yinzhen looked at his wife who was looking down angrily and laughed, "If you want to hear nice words, I can say them, but I don't want to deceive you. The kind of perfection you want does not exist."
"Even now, the fighting among the various families in the Qing Dynasty is extremely fierce. You said that the West will attack the Qing Dynasty in the future? Who would believe it? Want to develop together? If they don't see the benefits, they won't work together. It's like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey," Yinzhen chuckled, "Look at how gossip makes you angry. It's really unnecessary."
"It's just very uncomfortable," Wen Yao felt very uncomfortable after seeing it. You can say she was pretentious, but... she just felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She also understood that what Yinzhen said was right, but she still hoped for a miracle in her heart. Although what Yinzhen said was true!
But this is without her. What if she tried hard? Maybe it would be different. Maybe it would still be as Yinzhen said, but at least she had to work hard to have a glimmer of hope!
Even if there is no hope, it can still allow the people to live a good life, and at least change the current situation of gradually falling behind and being beaten, right?
"Let's not talk about this. I feel that Yinsi is different today. Do you have this feeling?" Wen Yao looked at Yin'er, remembering how she felt when she saw the Eighth Prince today. "No matter what, you can't be soft-hearted!" Wen Yao thought of something and added quickly.
"Is my master the kind of person who would go back to his old love? My dear brother has his own ideas, but he couldn't see the future and changed his path. This is what the emperor wanted," Yinzhen glared at Wen Yao unhappily. She really underestimated him. Suddenly, Yinzhen sat up abruptly. He seemed to have thought of something, "Wait a moment!"
Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen who suddenly sat up, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Yinsi?"
"It's none of my business. He can do whatever he wants. The stab in my face is real. Even if he doesn't dream of becoming the heir, it's because he has no future and no way out, not because of me. So it's none of my business. That's not what I'm thinking about," Yinzhen stared at Wen Yao with his eyes narrowed. "I've discovered one thing. You don't mind having women around me. But when my brother gets close to me, you act like a cat with its fur standing on end and a dog with its tail bitten!"
"How can you talk like that!" Wen Yao's eyelids twitched and she was speechless. What kind of description was this? But it seemed to be right, because Yinzhen was reborn and had always been polite and not interested in other women. In addition, because of the issue of the legitimate son, Wen Yao was very sure that it would be impossible for him to take a concubine in at least the next five or six years. As for the future, it was up to him to do so. Anyway, it would not work with her around!
