These 10 articles of heaven are very short, but they form the core of the second half of the new book of the true testament, which makes up three-quarters of the entire Bible, and much of it is commentary written by later generations. At first glance, these ten rules are not lofty at all, and it is difficult to deserve such a sacred title as "Tiantiao".

But here, no one thinks so, and every word of it is sacred and solemn. If we look at the history and actual situation of this world, we will find that each of these provisions is so wise and necessary, and it is to solve the most important practical problems of this world.

Children in heaven are also to be educated, and they are ultimately evaluated for academic performance, just like the exams in schools outside. Why is the new ten articles so stipulated, it is the content of the annual compulsory examination

For example, the first article prohibits the burning of red bricks, and the construction can only be made of green bricks, what is the reason?

The materials used in red bricks and green bricks are the same, the difference is not only the difference in color, but more importantly, the processing technology and characteristics. When I was a child, there was also a brick kiln in the mountain village of my hometown, and as far as Ding Qi knew, the process of red bricks was relatively simple, using an open kiln to fire and cool naturally. The iron element in the clay is fully oxidized to ferric oxide, so the bricks are red in color and the bricks have a fine porous structure.

At the end of firing, the kiln should be sealed to isolate the air and pour water from the top of the kiln to form water vapor in the kiln, as if the bricks were steamed during the cooling process. In this case, the iron element in the clay is not completely oxidized, and the ferric oxide is reduced to ferrous oxide, and the bricks are blue-gray.

The people here don't know this knowledge, but they know that green bricks are stronger, denser and denser than red bricks, not only insulating and breathable, but also more resistant to environmental and age corrosion. The same building is built with green brick and red brick, and the blue brick building is much more durable.

Of course, the kiln body for the production of green bricks is complex and difficult to make on a large scale, but the world is very small, and there is no need for large-scale industrial production.

The night limits the range of people's activities, and even without the restrictions of the night, the world is limited. The clay and fuel needed to make bricks are precious resources, often at the cost of destroying arable land and usable vegetation, so firing bricks is of course better.

Because of the existence of this heavenly strip, the current aborigines in the kingdom of heaven have never seen red bricks. However, the book records the firing methods of red bricks and green bricks, and explains how their characteristics differ. Then the provisions on the protection of pottery in the same article are also based on the same reason. It is important to know that clay and fuel are consumed to make pottery and burn pottery, and in order to achieve the required high temperatures, charcoal is often processed first.

There are also specific details in the commentaries of the texts, such as that an adult who intentionally destroys pottery is punished with caning, while a young child who unintentionally destroys pottery is exempt from punishment, but his parents are to be reprimanded in public at the shrine.

The seventh of the new ten heavenly rules is also very special, and it even deliberately emphasizes one thing: "Cherish the protection of the department, frogs can be eaten and not sold." ”

The so-called kodou is the larvae of frogs and toads, and today it is also written as tadpoles. On the way to the sedan chair, Ding Qi and the others heard the sound of frogs, and they even ate frogs at dinner today. They had seen frogs in the mountains where there was water, but the frog chirping was not as dense as on the plains, where there were many frogs, and they could see frogs jumping into puddles of water from time to time when they walked on the road.

There is no outside chemical industry, so there are no common pesticides and fertilizers. Traditional farm fertilizer is an important fertilizer, and the leaves of some trees can also be used as fertilizer or can be used to remove insects by pounding and fermenting or burning into ashes, but the control of insect pests in the field mainly depends on ecology, so frogs are very important.

Tadpoles need to be cared for and not harmed, while frogs are edible, and local residents can occasionally catch two to cook, but they can't catch them and sell them in the market. There are also details in the annotation that caught frogs must be eaten immediately, and they must not be pickled into dried meat or other long-term storage.

Article 3 of the new 10 articles stipulates that the annual output of copper and tin shall not exceed 500 catties. It can be seen that this landlord also has metal production, and copper and tin can also be matched to produce various bronze alloys. Why is production so strictly restricted? It is important to know that large-scale metallurgy will consume a lot of manpower, material resources and environmental resources, and it is impossible to sustain it here.

Fuel alone requires a lot of charcoal, and it is possible to cut down all the trees that can be cut down in a short time. Moreover, if all the laborers go to mining and metallurgy, it may not be enough for thousands of people to go to the mines, and delaying other production will threaten the survival of everyone.

There was no steel here, only two metals, copper and tin, and there should have been craftsmen among the Taiping army who came in at the beginning, and ore was found. Nowadays, copper, tin and bronze products are all produced in Beidaying, that is, the place where Tan Hanchuan arrived, where there is a village community that specializes in metallurgy.

Here, even if all metal artifacts are destroyed, they cannot be discarded at will, they must be returned to the camp warehouse, and then sent to Beidaying for re-smelting. Today, the annual scale of new copper and tin produced in Beidaying is only a few dozen catties, and a lot of time is spent smelting and recycling old metals.

Although damaged metal artifacts can be recycled, there will be corrosion and consumption in the process of use, and there are not many new metals produced every year, so bronze, tin, and bronze artifacts are very precious here. The Bible's commentaries have strict rules that prohibit the use of objects for pleasure in addition to being recycled.

The so-called things for enjoyment are things that are placed there for enjoyment but are not usually used. The most commonly processed metal object used here is bronze, which is mainly used to cast knives, cooking utensils, various cutting and construction tools, and small pieces such as pendants from fishing nets. What's even more interesting is that there is a lot of gold here, and almost every household has a lot of it.

Gold is not locally produced, but has been left over from time immemorial. According to local history, it is speculated that when the tens of thousands of Taiping troops withdrew here, they should have carried a large number of gold products. The knives, guns, and other steel products they brought here 10,000 years ago have long since decayed, but the gold, which is extremely chemically stable and immortal for 10,000 years, has been preserved.

Gold is mainly used as a currency in circulation, minted to the size of a penny coin, but much heavier than the pennies on the outside. One gold coin can buy a chicken at the bazaar. The gold coins were also minted by the Beidaying Unified Campaign, including the decorative gold objects used locally.

The specialty of Beidaying is metal utensils, and it is also responsible for the metallurgical process of the entire Heavenly Kingdom, because the metal mines in that area can be called the center of heavy industry in the entire Heavenly Kingdom, although the so-called heavy industry here is only handicrafts.

Xian Hao arrived in the West Daying, where the specialty is oil and paper, as well as various bamboo and wooden handicrafts, which can be called the center of light industry in the kingdom of heaven. Because there are relatively few plains and fields, surrounded by a large number of hills and mountains, and large bamboo forests grow, these industries can only be developed according to local conditions.

There are three main types of oil eaten by the locals, sunflower oil, watermelon seed oil and pumpkin seed oil, with sunflower oil being the most abundant. In fact, every camp produces oil, but the northern camp has the most, and it is often used to trade other materials with other camps. As for bamboo paper and mulberry paper, it is only produced in Xidaying, which is the default division of labor in the kingdom of heaven.

The Nandaying that Zhu Shanxian arrived at has a very important product, which is salt. Because of the salt wells in that area, I don't know when someone discovered them, and there were wars and battles in ancient times. In addition to salt, they are also rich in various condiments such as peppercorns, cinnamon, and spicy grass roots, most of which are cultivated artificially on gentle slopes.

There are no chili peppers here, there are no native species in this world, and no one should have brought seeds in 10,000 years ago. However, later generations have discovered a kind of grass, the leaves can be used for stir-frying, and the roots can be used as seasonings to taste, and the taste is spicy, and now it has been artificially cultivated for thousands of years, and the varieties cultivated are very good.

As for the Dongdaying where Ding Qi arrived, it can be called the land of fish and rice in the entire kingdom of heaven. The so-called fish, of course, refers to aquatic products, and the total area of lakes and ponds in this area is larger than that of cultivated fields. Rice does not refer to rice, but to four other things: lotus root flour, dried lotus seeds, water chestnut rice, and chicken head rice.

There are also rice fields in Dongdaying, which produce rice and a small part of wheat fields, but the grain output cannot catch up with Zhongdaying. Zhongdaying is the most important food producing area in the kingdom of heaven, and its population will exceed one-fifth of the entire kingdom of heaven, but its grain production will account for more than two-fifths of the entire kingdom of heaven.

There are five villages in the middle and four villages in each of the other four camps, which the locals call "she", and there are twenty-one shrines in the entire kingdom of heaven. The location of these battalions and societies was very particular, and within each battalion, the positions of each of the various societies were all places where they could travel during the day.

For example, if you start from a village after dawn, you can reach your destination before noon, finish your work there, and come back after dark.

There are four villages in Dongdaying: Dongying Warehouse Society, Dongying No. 1 Society, Dongying No. 2 Society, and Dongying No. 3 Society, each of which is not large. There are more than 200 people in Dongying Treasury Society, a total of 53 households, while the residents of the other three societies are all about 18 or 90 people, and there are no more than 50 households.

With such a small village, why not just live together, because the local people have to expand their range of activities outward in order to occupy all the plains suitable for reclamation, to cultivate more fields and gather more resources.

The location of the five camps is naturally formed, and there are mountains in the middle, which is inconvenient and difficult to communicate. From the east, west, north and south, the village where the shrine is located, the time it takes to reach the Nakadaiying Kusha is about exactly one day. Set off at dawn, don't delay on the way, you can arrive almost before dark, but you can't come back that day.

Therefore, Zhongdaying is also the transportation, trading and information distribution center of the entire kingdom of heaven, and the monthly big market is there.

The night is terrifying, not only can you not see your fingers, but you can also be attacked by night dragons in the wild. If you are unfortunate enough to be bitten by the night dragon, you are likely to be infected with the "evil wind", and the medicine stone is difficult to treat. The so-called night dragon is the kind of white pterosaur that Ding Qi and others encountered in the mountains, which looks like a white sharp-toothed bat the size of a basin, and the locals call it the night dragon.

The most dangerous and ferocious thing in the mountains during the day is the mountain biao, which can be occasionally encountered close to the mountains. Sure enough, it was Biao, Ding Qi didn't admit his mistake at the beginning, or the local ancients also thought so.

There are nine volumes of the Chronicles of the Kingdom of Heaven presented by the Marshal of the Eastern Battalion, the first of which is about the specialties and main products of the major battalions, and reading them in comparison with the Bible can help you understand the new ten articles of heaven and the history of the Kingdom of Heaven.

So who promulgated these new ten heavenly rules? This person is known as a saint in the kingdom of heaven who comes out once in ten thousand years, and he is also the last heavenly brother here, named Tao Xin. When it comes to Tao Xin, it is necessary to understand the history of the Kingdom of Heaven. The history of the Kingdom of Heaven is 10,000 years long, but the chronicle of the years and days where major events occurred is very clear, starting from the Tao Xin era 3,000 years ago.

As for the more distant periods, although the historical age of some events can still be verified, it is difficult to know the exact date of most historical events, and some are even difficult to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood. The entire history of the Kingdom of Heaven can be roughly divided into four periods, the Antiquity, the Ancient Period, the Middle Ages, and the Early Antiquity.

Ancient times are the age of myths and legends, it is said that the ancestors of mankind wandered in the time and space of the dangerous war, and it was the emperor God who opened up the world and guided mankind to live in peace. There is also a legend that tens of thousands of people came to this world, and when all of them walked out of the mountains to the plains where they could live in peace, only about 10,000 remained. In the history of the kingdom of heaven, this is called the creation of all nations.

The creation of the world is an official statement, which was confirmed by Brother Tao Xin back then. Reading this, Ding Qi can also guess what it was like 10,000 years ago. Tens of thousands of Taiping soldiers and civilians arrived in this outer world and were distributed to different places, and were damaged for various reasons, such as starving to death in the mountains, dying of injuries, being attacked by insects and beasts, and being infected with the plague.

In the end, the remaining 10,000 people should all be elites, at least their immunity is particularly strong. They arrived in the plains and gathered, reclaimed the fields and built houses and villages, laying the foundation for the survival of future generations. This history is very long, and there are very few clear records left, about 7,000 years ago, this place entered the ancient era, that is, the period of the five camps for hegemony.

Due to the natural topography, the people's settlements were naturally divided into five areas, and gradually five large tribes were formed. In order to compete with each other for the leadership of the entire kingdom of heaven and to control all the property, the tribal leaders began to wage war. The most unfortunate are the middle tribes, because each of the other four tribes will fight them first, and then attack the other tribes.

Therefore, the five-battalion battle is actually the four-battalion battle for hegemony, just because the modern people in the kingdom of heaven are used to the title of the five battalions, and it is called the Battle of the Central Plains in the history books. Today, the location of the Zhongda camp has been occupied by different tribes.

The first to provoke the war were the northern tribes, because they lived in a very poor environment, the products were not abundant, and they also needed to use a large number of special products to trade grain with the Central Plains tribes. The northern tribes discovered the mineral deposits and began to smelt and make bronze weapons, and the mining consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and other products were even more scarce, so they armed themselves to plunder.

The northern tribes first occupied the Central Plains, then attacked the other three tribes, were repulsed several times and even lost the Central Plains, and then fought back...... The war lasted intermittently for nearly a millennium. Why is the war so grinding? Because the actual situation on the ground limits the scale and intensity of the war.

The darkness of the local night affected the march, and even more so the camping. Therefore, the army usually set out early in the morning and arrived at the destination before sunset, and if the village could not be captured, it had to camp in the night. It was very dangerous to camp at night, and it was necessary to light enough fires, and the nearby trees were cut down, and then wood had to be brought in from farther away, which was very disadvantageous to the attackers.

As a result of the war, the population was decimated, and in the end there were less than 2,000 people in the whole world, especially the northern tribes, and the war could hardly continue, and the roads and trees on both sides of the villages were almost all cut down. It was a difficult dark time. Under what circumstances the Battle of the Central Plains stopped, there is no clear record in the historical materials, and there were too many things destroyed in that era.

After the end of the Battle of the Central Plains, it entered the ancient period, known as the dynastic period. The leader of the western tribes, known as the Heavenly Brother, issued an edict to everyone, he agreed to provide salt to the tribes according to the population, only to exchange the materials that were lacking, and he also proposed to establish a large city in the Central Plains, and finally unified the world and established the first dynasty.

The dynasty lasted for five hundred years, and the throne was hereditary by the descendants of the Heavenly Brother. In the end, the dynasty fell because the king had no heirs, and others took advantage of the situation to compete for the throne, and the result was another war. Since then, there have been constant wars in the dynastic era, and there will be a war for the throne of the heavenly king after a few decades or a hundred years.

According to historical records, those who succeed in fighting for the king are often brothers from heaven. Sometimes, in the same era, several people emerge to be possessed by Brother Tian, so how should we define a loser? The world naturally gave an explanation, that is, Brother Tian once possessed the body, but then the Emperor God was not optimistic about this person's character, and Brother Tian left.

Even the victors agreed with this statement, declaring themselves to be the last favored ones of the Emperor God.

The dynastic era lasted for more than 2,000 years and nearly 3,000 years, and it ended at the hands of a heavenly brother, who was named Tao Zhengong. Tao Zhengong was also possessed by Brother Heaven and overthrew the King of Heaven at that time, but he did not ascend to the throne of the King of Heaven, but issued an edict in the name of Brother Heaven, announcing that there was no longer a King of Heaven in the Kingdom of Heaven, which was the will of the Emperor God.

The current system of the five major camps in the Kingdom of Heaven was formulated by Tao Zhengong and has continued to the present. Tao Zhengong was able to successfully change the kingdom of heaven not only because he was a heavenly brother and had enough authority, but also because he lived long enough. According to historical records, he lived to be one hundred and seventy-two years old.

In fact, the title of the Kingdom of Heaven was also set by Tao Zhengong, who borrowed the saying from ancient mythology, and of course announced that this was the will of the Emperor God. From the time Tao Zhengong officially founded the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of Heaven entered the Middle Ages, which lasted for a short time, only about three hundred years.

These three hundred years are the best and worst years of the Kingdom of Heaven, which has experienced unprecedented prosperity and almost reached the brink of extinction. If it weren't for the appearance of Tao Xin, the last heavenly brother in the kingdom of heaven, I am afraid that the human race would really be extinct.
