No. 917 Going deep into Lamech's house, when the bribery is carried out
"Meek as a dove, cunning as a serpent".
While walking in front, Baili Lianglu thought about how to deal with Lamai, the lord of the big city.
Suddenly, a phrase popped into his head.
He forgot where he got this aphorism, probably from the old Jews?
The Grande, the Grande, and the Grande are all the same, descendants of that ancient family.
Well, most likely, it was that Granmu that reminded him of this.
It's about to come into direct contact with these people, who are the descendants of Cain, who are worse than Adan.
If you are blindly benevolent, I am afraid that it will backfire.
Not only will it not make them better, but I am afraid it will also cause bad consequences.
His most basic goal was nothing else, but to restrain these people from becoming a significant force and destroy the main human descendant of Adan!
When he came to the place where the tent was, Lamech did not stop.
Instead, he gave an order to his attendants to dismantle the tent and pack it up.
Although the battle in front of him was still very fierce, he didn't care about it, he just left, he was worthy of being an ancient hero with decisive killing methods, no wonder he could be the city lord of the largest big city.
Looking at Lamai's actions, Baili Liangliu couldn't help but mention vigilance.
said that he would enter the tent to speak, but when he arrived at the place, he did not go in, but demolished the tent.
So he stopped and asked the old man, "I said, Lord of Lamech, that you have torn down the tent, and that we will not talk about it, and if you do not want your great-great-grandson, of course I don't care." ”
Lamech shook the sheep's head, and in addition to the two horns swaying, the circle of fangs was also rattling, I don't know if it was deliberately displayed or inadvertently made a sound.
"Definitely! Definitely, there must be a conversation, and I would very much like to hear what you are talking about in business! And my great-great-grandson, I can't ignore it! You may not know that I have a special arrangement for him, and this special arrangement is ......."
Baili Liangliu complained, this old man, do you have a priority?
I'm not going to listen to your tirade, or even dig into your family's secrets, and although I have that fetish, it has to be when I'm idle.
Now I'm going to hear why you are tearing down the tent!
So interrupted his chatter on the spot.
"Old city lord, tell me why you sent the tent first! You have demolished the tent, where are we going to talk?"
Old Lamech raised his nose, and it was exactly the same as that of the Rachu: "Of course, when you enter the great city of Lamai, in my great house, so that you may see how skillful the craftsmen of my tent family are! I dare say that there is no tent in the whole world like mine, so much so that I call it a palace! Do you know what a palace is?"
Since he was talking about the main topic, Baili Liangliu had no choice but to cooperate and asked: "Palace?" I don't seem to have heard of it, so naturally I don't know what it is;
"No problem! I especially like to be a teacher and teach people tirelessly! The palace of the palace is the meaning of the heavenly dome, and it is said that it is tall; the palace hall is the meaning of the earth, and it is said that it is generous, and on the whole, it is my big house, which is the palace, that is, the sky is as tall as the sky, and the earth is as thick.
Baili Liangliu couldn't help but say: "Amazing! Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and you must have a good visit in a while!"
But there was a burst of complaints in my heart! This big thing is simply speechless, the sky is as high, and the earth is as thick! The face of the swollen heart is not ashamed, and it is almost the same.
No wonder the Creator hates these arrogant sinners!
From the time Adam was driven out of a little plain, to Cain's exile, and they wandered without a fixed place, and finally they had a skill to build a tent, and they did not know how thick the sky was.
After a short period of effort, they reached the great city mentioned by Lamech, and it turned out that the great city was at a bend in the war.
It is only now that Baili Liangliu knows that the so-called big city, although it is called big city, actually has nothing to do with the kind of big city in later generations.
There were no tall walls, no tall buildings, and no rows of them, which is why they fought for a long time on the bend side, but no one noticed that the enemy's place of residence was not far away.
If there is anything similar to something in later generations, Bido is similar to the earthen enclosures of those larger villages.
For example, the Huying village where Baili Liangliu once ate Hu porridge.
Although he was disdainful in his heart, it was estimated that the palace he had blown for a long time was definitely not a good thing, Baili Liangliu still kept calm and did not say anything sarcastic.
If he really wants to call Lao Lao Mai Zhen'er, it definitely can't show the shallowness of the old goat, but only the shallowness of his hundred miles on the surface.
Even if it was a dirt fence, there were people who guarded there, and the gate to the city was closed, probably because the men had gone out to fight, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left inside.
Old Lamech shouted, and several teenagers hurriedly came out and opened the gate of the earthen enclosure, and let everyone in.
But then when that Lagu came over, something happened.
It turned out that the two guys who had offended Baili Liangliu were not released, but they were not punished again, but were detained as prisoners, and Baili Liangliu was also prepared to use them as bargaining chips in the negotiations with Lamech! This is also part of his strategy of being as clever as a snake.
However, for the sake of Lamai's face, Baili Lianglu did not bind the two, but handed them over to the two cheap sons to guard.
Murong is arrogant and has a cow and a cow.
Niu Niuzi was very happy, and happened to contact Baili Liangliu, who often did not pay attention to the stunt taught to him by his master.
It is the skill of grasping people, either the jawbone or the skull.
Grabbing people's heads with one hand is not easy for ordinary people to operate, because their hands are too small.
But for these two people, it's a piece of cake.
Their hands are proportional to their stature, and there is no problem when using a fan.
If you are engaged in sports, holding a basketball with one hand is like holding a softball.
Therefore, it is easy for the two of them to grasp their heads with this type of palm.
During the escort process, Niu Niuzi handed over this brain-grabbing skill to Murong arrogant by the way, and the two practiced with great interest all the way.
Both of them are generous and simple, not ingenious, but they attach great importance to diligence and can make up for clumsiness, so they are not idle for a moment, just wandering around their heads.
pinched the skull for a while, and then slid down smoothly and pinched the jawbone, and the strength of the hand was sometimes big and sometimes small, which made the two of them very sour.
Even when they entered the city, the two did not stop.
But of course, those children are not qualified to go to war, and three of them are the sons of Lagu!
They didn't do much, and Lamech forgot to warn them, and when he saw that his father was pinched in the head and in a state of humiliation, he immediately launched a rush!
They were also dissatisfied with defending the city and not letting them go to the battlefield, and they were already angry, so they immediately pounced on Niu Niuzi, wanting to kill him and rescue Dad!
Although Niu Niuzi and Murong Arrogant were still practicing the technique of grabbing their heads and catching people, they entered the enemy's big city, and their spirits were still highly concentrated to prevent emergencies from happening.
The sudden attack of the three children, although it surprised the two of them, did not cause any trouble.
This is where the benefits of a large hand can be reflected.
Both of them continued to control the captives with one hand, and with the other hand, the three children were caught together!
Among them, Niu Niuzi caught two, and Murong arrogantly caught one.
It wasn't until the three great-grandsons were captured that Lamech knew that another disaster had happened!
Shocked, he hurriedly explained to Baili Lianglu, saying that these children attacked them by no means at his instigation, and it was not in line with his intentions, and he would definitely discipline them well in the future.
After a lot of ramblings, he finally begged for mercy for the three great-great-grandsons, saying that they were not old and ignorant.
Baili Liangliu snorted angrily, and then said with a stern face: "No intercession! They have been able to guard the door and take the initiative to attack us, and any excuse for age is invalid! Since they want to save their father, let them be together, and share the difficulties." ”
Since Baili Lianglu is determined to use Lagu as a bargaining weight, the more the better, and now three more have been added.
After catching the three mischievous children, the other children stopped, and Baili Liangliu and the others drove straight into a big city built by the people of that era with their own skills and abilities for the first time.
The so-called ability is, of course, their natural ability and the economic ability that they develop in that environment.
Although Baili Liangliu studied ancient agricultural economics and focused on agricultural production, he also dabbled in many related economic disciplines, such as urban development.
During his summer internship, he also specialized in a topic, that is, the causes of the rise of cities in China.
In that paper, he concluded that there are no more than three causes of a city: either the concentration of production, or the concentration of product exchange, or the concentration of consumption.
The concentration of production is the large-scale development of those workshops, which are finally connected into patches, and once they reach a certain scale, they form cities.
The concentration of exchange is that in those places where commerce is developed, the fruits of production of all parties are exchanged here, and after being fixed, they become cities.
The concentration of consumption means that no matter what kind of consumption, as long as the scale is large and the time is long, it will form a city.
The most notable are the political centers, cultural centers, and military centers.
On the surface, there are many names, but in essence, they are all inseparable from economic support.
Without the support of economic forces, it will not survive for a day.
For example, the political center, without large-scale transportation and huge support for grain production, would have collapsed long ago.
The urban development model of later generations has undergone great changes, that is, the tax system that covers all economic activities, and all corners of the world are supported by well-developed goods, but it is not the way of direct economic power gathering in the early days.
With these things in mind, Baili Liangliu will not feel surprised when he sees those low tents and dilapidated streets.
That's what they're supposed to be, they're only going to get to this point, and if it's not like that, they're so tall and brilliant, there should be another reason.
Baili Liangliu remained silent, and Lao Lamai thought that he was suppressed by this large shantytown.
Therefore, his steps were more sonorous and powerful, and the rain on his head was level with the sky, which made everyone wonder, I don't know how he practiced.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, everyone came to the central area of the city, and an independent courtyard covering an area of one acre appeared in front of them.
Other people's tents are all standing on the street, but this small courtyard is surrounded by a fence on all sides, although the materials used to build the wall are all logs one by one, and there is no processing, and some of them have grown leaves, I don't know whether it was originally grown here, and the upper half was sawed off with the fence, or the kind of trees that can grow in cuttings.
The door of the wall was closed, and Lamech shouted, "Open the door, there is an honored guest coming!"
Then I heard a sound of footsteps, and I hurried over.
The wooden fence door creaked and opened from the inside, revealing the smiling faces of four women.
The four of them took two of them on each side, and said happily, "Welcome back!"
Lamech grimaced, and scolded: "Why are you still the same as usual? Didn't you listen to my order to you, did you have a distinguished individual coming today?
The four women smiled undiminishedly, and they were as kind as flowing: "Welcome to the door, full of brilliance!"
When Baili Liangliu looked at his words and looks, he knew that these four daughters were all of Lamech, and their ages were uneven, the eldest was similar to Lamech, and the youngest was ...... It's the same as the three and a half children I was caught just now.
As for how this old guy got such a woman, Baili Lianglu has just arrived, so he can't comment too much, but there is a comparison that was made at the time.
It turns out that as soon as a person has the right, he will get three wives and four concubines, which is the same in ancient and modern times!
The difference is probably that the ancients came openly, and the present people just do it secretly.
It was just such a welcome ceremony, and Baili Liangliu didn't care about any more imagination, and walked into the main house with Lamech surrounded by four wives.
Not to mention, this residence in Lamai is very much like the courtyard house of later generations, a south inverted seat, a north main house, and wings on the east and west sides, compared with other shantytowns, it can definitely be regarded as tall.
The courtyard was also big enough, so Granmu drove their ox cart directly in, and the two little mothers inside did not come out.
Baili Liangliu felt that it was not time to let his family members meet with the other party's daughters.
Another consideration is that those houses are definitely far less comfortable than his ox carts.
Listen to everything, it was when Niu Niuzi and Murong arrogantly escorted the captives in, it caused a commotion among the four daughters, especially the middle-aged woman, who was estimated to have her relatives inside.
But just as she was about to open her mouth to scream, Lamech glared at her with a stern look, causing her to let out a "uh" and swallow back the shout that was already about to be spoken.
A few people entered the house, and only Lamech and Baili Lianglu remained.
Baili Liangliu took out a fang, handed it to Lamai and said, "Thank you for the host's reception, a small gift, not a tribute, and please smile at the city lord!"
