Fortunately, pure food and alcohol are not very addictive. The deep sleep brought about by drunkenness gave Zhou Zhi's brain a rare "stop rest", and he woke up early in the morning feeling in good spirits.
“Are your elbows up?” Abby of Gilliam had already cooked corn mush and roasted potatoes. Mai Xiaomiao was sitting at the table, eating obediently. When Zhou Zhi arrived, he quickly praised: "Elbow, the kimchi you made this time is very delicious."
"Really?" Zhou Zhi picked up a radish stick from the bowl in front of Mai Xiaomiao and put it into his mouth. The sour and crisp taste came back: "Well, I was right this time. It seems that the water in Lingshan is quite good. ?”
I don’t know if it’s because of the climate, but Zhou Zhi is always dissatisfied with the kimchi at the grain station.
This cannot be blamed on Jilie Abi. The Yi people do not have the habit of pickling vegetables. They only have salted dried vegetables, dried vegetables, and round-stemmed sauerkraut soaked in rice soup, but there is no pickled vegetables.
There must be a reason for the strict selection by the ancestors. Since Zhou Zhi came to Lianhe Township, he wanted to restore the glory of the god of Sichuan cuisine, pickled ginger and pickled peppers, but failed several times.
However, he was also stubborn. When he failed, he analyzed and thought of a solution. Finally, he placed the kimchi jar next to the ditch, replaced it with water brought back from Lingshan, increased the amount of ginger and pepper, and remade the brine. , now finally succeeded.
Sitting down and serving a bowl of paste for himself, Zhou Zhi asked Abi Gilliam: "Auntie, how long did they drink yesterday?"
"Anyway, they got up at two o'clock in the middle of the night. Still drinking. Your uncle’s drinking ability is really good.” Jile Abi smiled and said: "You have to thank Xiaomiao. She was still taking care of you when you were drunk yesterday."
"I was completely drunk last night." Zhou Zhi shook his head: "I didn't know anything about it after that. I don’t know, thank you for your hard work, Xiaomiao.”
"It's nothing." Mai Xiaomiao acted as if she had done something bad, a little panicked and shy: "Anyway, you just sleep when you are drunk, so you can take care of me."
Qin Haifeng also came out at this time, and when he saw Zhou Zhi, he Shaking his head: "Old man My drinking capacity is so good! I drank with him until midnight last night!”
Zhou Zhi said with a smile: “It is the custom of the Yi people to stay with guests till the end, so it’s not you who drinks with Grandpa Chiri! He was the one who drank with you until most of the night. "
"Hi!" Qin Haifeng slapped his forehead: "If I had known earlier, I would have said that I would not delay the old man's rest, so there is no need to resist!"
Qin Haifeng is actually very busy at work. It’s time to leave after breakfast , the military supplies Maotai on the car yesterday were of no use at all. Qin Haifeng asked Commander Zhou to take out all of them and give them to Lao Chiri, and then gave Zhou Zhi Mai Xiaomiao a comradely handshake: "Elbow, Xiaomiao, we'll see you in the capital." ! ”
"We'll come after we finish the business of opening Bimo Cave." Zhou Zhi shook hands with Qin Haifeng and said goodbye: "Uncle Navy, we'll see you in the capital!"

Chi Xueli’s mission here this time is to record an important activity - to open the secret cave where the Yi people store scriptures. The Han people call it the scripture cave, and the Yi people, even more Most people call it Bimo Cave.
Bimo caves are generally located in deep mountains and old forests, inaccessible to people, and there are more than one generation of Buddhist scripture collectors. Many secret caves were created by Bimo caves who knew the location over time and kept hiding parchments in the caves over time.
After the Ming Dynasty, the carrier of the Bimo Sutra began to change from sheepskin to paper, but it was still called "parchment book" in name, and the number increased dramatically.
The reason why this situation happened is that the Yi people gave birth to a great female politician-Mrs. Shexiang.
That's right, it's the Shexiang lady who sang "Wumeng Mountain Connects the Mountains Outside the Mountain" in the previous Phoenix Legend. Mrs. Shexiang was originally a princess of the Tusi tribe of the Yi people in southern Sichuan at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. She was smart and capable since she was a child, and was studious and thoughtful. In the eighth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Shexiang married Aicui, who was the envoy to central Guizhou at the time and the leader of the silent tribe of the Shuixi Yi people. She was known as Shexiang. lady.
As early as the late Song Dynasty, the Aicui family used Yachi River as its boundary and divided central Guizhou into Shuidong and Shuixi. The Aicui family in Longzan lived in a generous family and were called the Shuixi family.
After she got married, Shexiang became Aicui's virtuous wife, often assisting her husband in handling the political affairs of the Xuanwei Department. In the process of living with her husband, Shexiang gradually increased her political talents as a regent and became famous throughout the Shuixi tribe for her talents. She was loved by the tribe and was respectfully called "Ju Mu".
Jumu means king.
Aicui died early, and his son Aqi Longdi was young, so he went to central Guizhou to express comfort. In the 22nd year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty sent Ma Ye, the commander of the capital stationed in central Guizhou, to serve. When the officers and soldiers set up Puding Station, they were arrogant and arrogant, killing the Yi people wantonly and forcing Shuixi to pay taxes.
At that time, central Guizhou was suffering from a severe drought, there was no food harvest, people were living in extreme poverty, and taxes could not be collected. Shexiang wrote many reports, but Ma Ye took the opportunity to capture Shexiang in Guiyang, and ordered the warriors to expose Shexiang's body and whip Shexiang's back in an attempt to provoke the Yi soldiers into provocation.
The forty-eight leaders of Shexiang's subordinates already hated Ma Ye. When they learned that Shexiang had been humiliated, they became even more angry and led their soldiers to gather together. The war was about to break out.
She Xiang clearly understood the righteousness and expressed her unwillingness to rebel to her subordinates, and publicly exposed Ma Ye's intention to force rebellion, thus avoiding a war disaster that would affect the people of all ethnic groups in Guizhou.
Later on, Shexiang was introduced by Liu Shuzhen, the wife of Song Qin, deputy envoy of Xuanwei in Guizhou, and went directly to the capital to tell Zhu Yuanzhang the truth about Chen Maye's rebellion.
Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly moved and wanted to get rid of Ma Ye, so he asked Shexiang "how to repay him". Shexiang replied: "I hope that my descendants will not dare to cause trouble for generations to come." He also expressed his "willingness to dig dangerous mountains and build post roads."
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and named Shexiang "Mrs. Shunde". He rewarded her with gold, silver, silk fabrics and other items, and recalled Ma Ye to Kyoto for punishment.
After returning to central Guizhou, Mrs. Shexiang opened two post roads, opened up the channels with Sichuan, Yunnan and Hunan, promoted the exchanges of various ethnic groups, promoted the development of social economy and culture, stabilized the political situation in the southwest, and determined the Subordinate relationship with the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard the memorial and said: "The extravagant fragrance returns and wins a hundred thousand soldiers."
After the post road was opened, Mrs. Shexiang organized tribute many times and personally led the team to Jinling for pilgrimage. Through activities such as reporting government affairs, transmitting taxes, paying tribute to local products and horses, etc., she made central Guizhou and the Ming Dynasty The relationship between the central government and the central government has become even closer.
Through extensive exposure to Han regional culture, Shexiang was deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture and determined to personally advocate civilization. During the period of photography, he recruited Han Confucian scholars from all over the world, accepted bachelors of letters from many sources, and established the Xuanwei School to train children of all ethnic groups; he recruited skilled craftsmen, taught advanced farming and weaving techniques, opened farmland, and developed production; he advocated the harmony of Yi and Han people, living and working in peace and contentment, and He sent his grown-up only son Aqi Longdi to study at Imperial College in the capital.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Aqi Long's brother returned from his studies. Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a third-grade court uniform, a robe, a gold belt, etc., and gave him the surname "An".
Through Mrs. Shexiang's diligent management and painstaking management, the society in Shuixi area is stable, the ethnic groups live in harmony, the economy develops, and the civilization is prosperous.
Mrs. Shexiang deserves the most credit for the ability of central Guizhou to integrate into the Chinese family, and even for the Yi people to integrate into the Chinese family. (End of this chapter)
