20. Feia's Spirit (Part 2)
(Thanks to book friends for their monthly ticket support for "Bitches are pretentious" and "Yu Chujiu" and "Bitches are pretentious" reward support, and hereby thank you!)
Wang Qinian and his friends came to the witch tribe. The boys sang and danced, wearing very little clothes, revealing their strong muscles, while the witches were chanting songs praising the gods:
Queen of the Moon, Queen of the Sun,
Queen of Heaven, Queen of Stars,
The Queen of the Four Seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, the Queen of the World,
They assigned us the promised children.
The one who promises children is the great mother,
That child is the rebirth of the Lord of Life,
Darkness and tears were abandoned behind him,
The stars leading the way rise early.
The golden sun shines on the hills and mountains,
Light up the earth, illuminate the world,
Light up all the earth and all the rivers,
Let go of sadness and pick up joy.
Bless our great mother,
No beginning, no end,
Until forever, until forever,
Cheer, cheer, bless you forever! (Note: "The Secret of the Witcher")
Wang Qinian stood in front of the village gate and listened to the witch's chanting. A warm halo slowly spread from the chanter. This is a kind of love, a broad love warmed the people present, and from it, you can feel the secrets that the witches stick to.
At the end of the ceremony, the witch leader Shaqinahe performed a witch ceremony to Wang Qinian, and Wang Qinian returned a wizard ceremony: "The practitioner of the great initial goddess, the leader of the witches on the earth. I came on behalf of the Ianguo, and even as a magician, I came with respect. May you and the goddess always be there!"
"The great magic practitioner, the rare strong man in the world, may wisdom be with you!" Shaqinahe also blessed him.
Everyone entered the village and worked in a double-storey high house in the east of the village. Shaqinahe said: "Thank you, the minister, for coming. The witches are honored. The minister is here. But come for the magic and witchcraft census?"
“It’s not only for the census, but also for the broader consensus.”
"Oh, tell me, if it comes for the census, you know. Our witchcraft needs to be believed in the initial goddess. If the Minister believes in the initial goddess, we can give out all the secrets of witchcraft, otherwise, the secrets of witchcraft are not allowed to be revealed in the witchcraft."
"Times are changing. Our Ianguo conducts a census of magic and witchcraft. On the one hand, for inheritance and on the other hand, for the sake of promoting it, as your witchcraft, it has its own unique features and is buried in the deep mountains. It's a pity that you also want to carry it forward." Wang Qinian said with a smile.
"Witchcraft is about fate, and it is introduced into the world by the goddess."
"It is because the goddess was introduced into the world that we must carry it forward. The goddess passed on witchcraft to the world. As you said in the ceremony, it is for love. The goddess' love is immersed in everything. It is precisely because we must carry forward this spirit and inherit witchcraft." Wang Qinian continued the words of Shaqinahe.
"But if you don't really believe in goddesses, witchcraft is not effective at all. Moreover, witchcraft has always been passed down by women, while the outside world is the world of men."
"The goddess is the greatest mother. Both men and women are equal. Women have their own virtues, generous and obedient, just like the virtues of the earth, but men also have their own advantages. They are self-improvement and enterprising. The world has its own reason to develop to the current world dominated by men. The world is moving forward." Wang Qinian said.
"You are sophistry, and the outside world is messed up by you, but you are sophistry here." It was Kikuno who spoke, and she was obviously very unfair.
Wang Qinian looked at Shaqinahe, and Shaqinahe said, "She is an excellent witch among our witches, named Ju Nong. Our tribe is still very concerned about the affairs of the outside world. Although her words are a bit ugly, they also reveal some facts."
Wang Qinian laughed: "Ms. Ju Nong, your words seem to make sense. You know why your witch tribe is limited to the Andy Mountains and cannot go out. If you go out, it may not be like this. The colonists will not come. You retain the tradition, but others don't think so. In recent hundreds of years, the locals in Ianzhou have been constantly killed. It is precisely this reason that the goddess gave you beautiful and rich land, but you cannot keep it. The Ian Kingdom I founded is because I saw too many killings. Why can't people live in harmony? If everyone is like you, they can only usher in war."
When Ju Nong heard Wang Qinian's words, her anger rose even more: "It's all your men who do it, and they're justified!"
Shaqinahe frowned. Seeing that Ju Nong could not tell Wang Qinian, and Ju Nong's temper came up, she scolded: "Ju Nong, you can't tell your minister, you won't keep your mouth shut."
"It's not a problem. She thought I was just arguing, and I just told her the reality. The magic census does not require you to tell the whole story of witchcraft. It's just to figure out what schools of witchcraft are in your witchcraft. I don't care about the specific details. The country just uses this as the basis for decision-making." Wang Qinian smiled.
Shaqinahe breathed a sigh of relief: "If so, we can cooperate."
Wang Qinian said: "Then I will thank you, but this is just one aspect. When I come here, there is another thing, which is to open up the Andi Mountains, go west to the plains, and end up with the endless ocean?"
"You want to build an empire that spans two oceans?"
"It cannot be considered an empire. If Yi Anguo does not seize this opportunity, take advantage of the fact that others have not yet paid attention to this land, lay the foundation for a country, and gain enough strategic depth to have the opportunity to stand in the forest of a strong country. It would be too late to wait for others to wake up." Wang Qinian said.
She was deeply in deep thought. Wang Qinian made this request a little unexpected. After a while, he said: "In the west of the Andi Mountains, there are already people who call themselves Xia people."
Wang Qinian frowned. There were already people from Daxia to the west of the mountain. Should they go to war with Daxia? His intelligence is not like this. It was a land without a home. How could this happen?
He asked: "Have the people of Daxia announced the ownership of this land?"
"There is no such thing, and there seems to be no settlement," said Shaqinahe.
"Just do not have it, pretending to be invisible. Anyway, it is a land without a master. If there is a master, the Indinat is its master." Wang Qinian said, and suddenly felt in his heart that he had established a country with nominal equality among all races. He could not have thought that there was such a purpose. He ignored it before. Yes, if he wanted to grab territory in the future, he would rob it in the name of Indinat. Anyway, the entire Ianzhou is the territory of the Indinat nation.
"You want to steal this land in the name of Indina?" said Shaqinahe. She couldn't bear to see a new war breaking out.
Wang Qinian nodded, noticed her expression, and said with a smile: "There will not be much war. I will send a unit with the Indinats as the main force to quietly enter that area and contact the tribes. As for the people of Daxia, treat them with courtesy and try not to conflict with them. When Daxia reacts, the situation is already done."
Shaqinahe hesitated for a moment. Although Ju Nong didn't speak, his eyes were even more contempt. Wang Qinian was old and pretended not to see it. This was actually a strategy, telling Shaqinahe that Yi Anguo could do anything to rule this land.
"Since our witch tribe is a member of Yi'anguo, we can provide a channel." Shaqinahe said. She didn't expect that to be so deep, but she was also frightened by Wang Qinian's determination. Instead of hesitating, it's better to be generous. Ju Nong was beside her. Although she looked down on Wang Qinian's actions, she was also a little timid in her heart.
"Thank you for understanding the great righteousness. Ianguo does not just seek it. I have power and obligations. I promise to keep your traditions, but you must abide by everything about Ianguo. What is the specific thing? I have brought experts in this regard. They will talk to you. You are already a member of Ianguo. You should know the rights of many Ianguo." Wang Qinian said with a smile.
"Of course, what rights do we have?" Kikuno asked.
"You are the masters of the country and have the power to participate in politics and make decisions. All the powers granted by the law. Like other citizens of the Ian Kingdom, the Feiya Elf Tribe sent a member to return to Ian City with me. You also have the right to send someone to participate in state affairs. This may be new to you, but Ian City has a greater responsibility for working. In the future, your opinions will be conveyed through her at the National Assembly." Wang Qinian said.
Shaqinahe was very interested. After asking carefully, Wang Qinian explained in detail to her. Finally, he understood a general idea and laughed: "So your country is managed like this."
Wang Qinian smiled and said: "I can't say that my country is the country of all citizens of Ianguo. Everyone has the right to speak. Expressing their opinions to the country through parliamentarians. Even the leaders of the country are not for life. Now they are the president of the Claw. He has a maximum of two terms, which is for twelve years on stage."
"Why can't it be for life?"
"Governing the country is based on the law, and the law is passed by the National Congress. The leader of the state only implements the law. No matter how wise a person is, it is better to form rules than to form rules. It is easy to make mistakes. It will be easy to correct them and will not cause major disasters. But if it is a lifetime system, the situation will be different. A wise leader can lead the country to develop rapidly, but a mistake may lead the country into the abyss. This system is to prevent this. It may not be as good as an imperial country, but it will not cause major mistakes." Wang Qinian said that Shaqinahe understood this point only.
This time, Kikuno didn't speak, but fell into thinking.
Shaqinahe sighed: "I didn't expect it to be so deep. Although many colonists established colonies on the mainland, they sent a governor to manage it. It turns out that there is such a deep truth in governing the country. I think it's similar to managing a tribe."
"What method do you use to manage your tribe?"
"According to tradition, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and the old rules are not easily changed unless it is untimely." Saqinahe said. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
