Chapter 338
When the battle in the city ended, the chaos in the county yamen had completely subsided. All the suspicious people mixed with the Han and barbarians had been found and controlled. In the face of conclusive evidence, that is, the various weapons and fires that were accompanied by, they could not appeal for justice, and eventually had to surrender.
While this incident scared many people, it also made them understand the painstaking efforts of the government, and the resentment and panic in their hearts dissipated a lot. Taking this opportunity, Yin Taibei took a few steps forward under the protection of his subordinates, and truly stepped out of the lobby. Then he looked at the thousands of people under his command in front of him with sincerity and spoke:
"Dear fellow villagers and elders of Jinning County, I know that you have been troubled a lot during this period. I am worried that there will be trouble between the two tribes, and I am worried that I and the county government will do stupid things for some reason. Now, what I want to tell you is that none of this will happen!"
If he had said this before, everyone would not believe it, but now, after seeing his equal and unbiased means of conviction, and easily taking down these traitors with ill-conspiracy, the prestige of County Magistrate Yin in the hearts of the people was unconsciously higher than the prestige of the people, and what he said was worth enough to win the trust of others.
Feeling the trust that was revealed in everyone's eyes, Yin Taibei was even more energetic and continued to make a fuss while the iron was hot: "And in this incident, I also learned the lessons and found the key. Why did many uneasy rumors occur in the city some time ago? Why did even some racist people have some bad ideas? This is actually because our two tribes cannot truly trust each other, and the people cannot truly trust the government.
"Because everyone has determined that the minds of non-my races must be different, and it is believed that the Han and the barbarians are always opposite and it is impossible to reach true equality in front of the government. This view is completely wrong. Perhaps in terms of ethnic and blood ties, we are indeed different, but in addition, whether it is the Han or the barbarians, they are actually the same. We are all the people of Dayue and the people of our Jinning County. This is the home of all of us. No one wants our home to be destroyed by war because of us!"
Yin Taibei's voice was not too loud, but at this moment, because more than a thousand people were listening quietly, his voice could be conveyed to everyone's ears, making many people look abrupt while thinking deeply.
Yes, although there are ethnic differences, they are all from Jinning County. Everyone hopes that the weather is good and the wife is mundane. No one wants to see the war here, putting themselves and their families in danger.
Yin Taibei's words continue: "So it is far from enough to do all this, relying solely on the one-official officials and the more than 100 officials in the county yamen. It also requires the joint efforts of the people of the two tribes in the city and the people of the village outside the city. The concerted efforts here do not require you to pay more taxes, but to let you know your identity more clearly. Don't be hostile and contempt because of different from other tribes, and you can't think of bullying and opposing it because of this. This will bring you greater trouble and no benefit.
"Also, I must set rules here. From today on, all laws apply to the people of both tribes, but if anyone dares to fight in the street, no matter what his identity is, he will be severely punished. Similarly, in our county, the people of the Han and barbarians are equal and the same. Barbarians can do things that Han people can do, barbarians cannot do, and Han people cannot do it. But if there are any violations, you can come to the county government to sue. As long as the complaint is true, I will deal with it and will never refuse!
"At later today, I will ask someone to copy this decision into a list and post it in various parts of the county so that all the people in the county will know everything about the Han and the Manchus!"
After this long remark, the people present were stunned and cold at first, but soon, they cheered. After a while, many excited people knelt on the ground and praised "Mr. Wisdom" because they had already felt the attitude and determination of the magistrate Yin from these words, and they could also see the possibility of resolving conflicts between the Han and the Manchu tribes.
This is a wish that many people have thought of in their hearts but cannot realize. This is not only the wish of the Han people, but also the wish of the barbarians, because these familiar barbarians who are willing to walk down from the mountains and forests into the city also come to their minds that they can live a better life.
Even Bai Xianhe was moved this time. After feeling the sincerity of the county magistrate, his last little worry also dissipated. Seeing that the county magistrate Yin stopped talking, he continued to go forward and shouted: "I am Bai Xianhe, the head of Baishizhai. Today, the magistrate Yin's heart is just talking about it. I am also a commoner in Jinning. I also hope that this place can be safe and without any disputes!
"Mr. Yin County, I, Bai Xian, dare not talk to others. The only thing that can be guaranteed is that from now on, the tribesmen of my Baishi Village will obey the orders of the county government. If you dare to violate the laws of the government, you don't have to speak from the county government. I will tie the people to the yamen by myself and will never tolerate them!"
"Okay! The white-headed man is indeed very wise. I believe you will be able to do what you say!" Yin Taibei didn't mind the other party's words, and nodded with a smile, "Then I promise you that the people in your village want to enter the city to work will be completely unhindered, and they will not be as embarrassed as before."
Although the two of them did not make an appointment in advance, they were quite a concerted moment. After a few words, the people at the scene cheered and looked forward to it.
Looking at the happy scenes of the Han and Barbarians, Yin Taibei was even more happy. This was exactly what he wanted to see most in many years. But no matter how hard he tried before, there were always some difficulties. Until today, it was successfully achieved after a crisis.
And this is exactly what the young man named Li Ling taught him, that is, treat the people with sincerity, no longer hide them, and put everything they want on the surface and say it out!
Now thinking about the helpless actions of the two tribes in the past, Yin Taibei was a little ashamed. Some small cases that were originally quite simple always worsened because of one or another concerns, making the people disappointed the government again and again. But in fact, some things are not that complicated.
"The magistrate of Yin County, whether it is Han people or barbarians, they are all human beings and ordinary people. What is the difference between their demands? Since they have the same demands, they will naturally abide by certain rules for this wish. What our government wants to do is to clearly tell them what should be done, what should not be done, and what kind of punishment they will suffer if they make mistakes.
"You can't hesitate because of their special identities, and even do not punish them. Such consequences will only make the differences between the two tribes continue to grow, and conflicts will arise. Only by treating them equally can the two tribes be as close as the same clan, and you don't have to worry about whether the barbarians will have resentment because of this.
"Maybe some people are dissatisfied with this reason, say some strange things behind their backs and do some wrong things. But as long as the yamen can deal with it in time and continuously strengthen the fact that the two tribes are equal through this method, more people can accept it and finally achieve the true fusion of the two tribes!"
Li Ling's words rang in Yin Taibei's ears again. Before, he only felt that this statement was reasonable, but now he felt that this was a famous saying - the people are not worried about the lack of people but the unevenness, so for the Han people and these familiar maniacs, the most important thing is to be treated fairly and treated fairly.
It’s obviously just such a simple truth. Why didn’t I discover it before and many local officials in the southwest today?
Maybe this is what the authorities are confused? However, this argument did not affect his gratitude and admiration for Li Ling. If there weren't too many trivial matters in the county town waiting for him to deal with them one by one, Yin Taibei would have wanted to go to Baishizhai in person to welcome Li Ling back.
However, there were still people who welcomed Li Ling, but they became the cousins Xiao Chengzhi and Sun Bi. They followed the Baishizhai people back and took back the heroes who were recognized by everyone.
When this team of hundreds of people from the Han and Barbarians came to the front of the mountain village, they were frightened by the Baishi Village, saying that the government had used fraud again, and after harming his own leader, they wanted to slam the mountain village. At that moment, the impatient barbarian rushed to Li Ling and wanted to take them all down, thinking they were hostages.
As a result, the people were surrounded here. News came from the front that Bai Xianhe had already brought people straight into the village, but it turned out that it was a false alarm.
Then, in the somewhat ashamed reaction of the barbarians, Li Ling met Xiao Chengzhi and the others. As soon as the two brothers saw Li Ling, they pointed and praised: "Mr. Li is really powerful. With just a few plans, they helped Jinning to relieve hidden dangers. From then on, there will be no disputes in the Han and Barbarians in this county."
Li Ling smiled modestly when he heard this: "You two are too proud. I'm just going to come up with an idea to make things happen. After all, you and the magistrate of Yin have outstanding abilities. Of course, thanks to the white-headed man who is very knowledgeable about the righteousness..."
This is said nicely, and naturally won everyone's joy. So, Baishi Village quickly set up a sumptuous banquet to entertain some people, and they were drunk before they could stop.
Then the next day, Li Ling and the others returned to the county town with the army. After that, they naturally had to socialize and met the officials of the county government and had a good time to celebrate.
