094 New Faith
"Okay, I'll dig a pond for you later, who else?" said Chen Zeyu.
For the first time, he tried the feeling of kingdom, although only for a few small villagers in a mountain village. But they are also truly human beings just like themselves. He is ready to use a policy of tenderness against his Lilliputian kingdom to make them affirm themselves.
"The Emperor is supreme, and the people dare to make a request. ”
Village Chief Zhou Huaimin knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Chen Zeyu.
"There is a hanging eye tiger living on the north slope of the Peach Blossom Spring, and the cattle who often come down the mountain to attack the fields in my village, can you ask the Emperor Yu to descend to the heavens and get rid of the hanging eye tiger for my Peach Blossom Spring. ”
"No problem, hehe-"
Chen Zeyu put his hand on the ground, palms facing up, and said to the villagers of Taoyuan Village: "Come up, now I will take you back to the village!"
The villagers looked at me one by one, I looked at you, a little hesitant, and finally the village chief Zhou Huaimin was bold and the first to climb onto Chen Zeyu's palm. After the villagers climbed into the palm of their hands, Chen Zeyu picked up the injured villager and brought him back to Taohuayuan Village together.
Originally, Zhou Huaimin and a few villagers went out to hunt, and they accidentally got lost outside to delay returning to the village for so long, and they remembered that they had to climb over a big mountain to be able to go back. Sitting in the hands of Chen Zeyu, they experienced incredible things and were soon sent to the village.
When Chen Zeyu's figure appeared, the villagers of Peach Blossom Land saw it from a distance, and they fled back to the forest to hide.
"You go and find out all the villagers. Chen Zeyu instructed Zhou Huaimin to say.
Now it's time to get the villagers of Peach Blossom Land to get used to themselves, to make them believe that they are the gods who created them, so that the villagers can do the work for themselves.
Chen Zeyu has already decided, he decided to set up a farm on this map to provide supplies for his aquatic product store.
The place here is huge, and there are no constraints, and most importantly, there are also labor. The advantage of running a farm is that it can bring income to your own aquatic product store, and secondly, it can also expand the peach blossom source and slowly turn your small village into a small country.
Zhou Huaimin received Chen Zeyu's order, and he didn't dare to slack off for a moment to go into the forest to find other villagers. He was no longer as scared of Chen Zeyu as he was when he first saw him, and the huge mountain-like person in front of him didn't seem to have any malice. The other party claimed to be Emperor Yu, and in Zhou Huaimin's consciousness, Chen Zeyu was a god-like existence.
After a while, Zhou Huaimin walked out of the forest, followed by a group of simple villagers. All of them are villagers from Peach Blossom Spring, they are dressed in linen, most of them are dark, they walk very slowly, a pair of small eyes secretly look at Chen Zeyu, the curious child walked a few steps forward, and was immediately pulled by his mother to his side.
When he came to a farmland, the village chief Zhou Huaimin took the lead in kneeling, and the remaining dozens of villagers, large and small, also knelt down.
They all bowed their heads when they knelt, and the idea of feudal superstition was deeply ingrained in their hearts. Just now, Zhou Huaimin explained to the villagers that a god came from heaven to assist them in building the country, so that everyone should not be afraid. Therefore, when the villagers saw Chen Zeyu, they all had admiration, and the adults lowered their heads according to the children, for fear of accidentally angering the giant god from the sky.
"Get up, don't kneel!" Chen Zeyu was a little happy, being an emperor in ancient times was nothing more than that, under him alone, he was all subjects.
The villagers stood up, and everyone's eyes were still full of doubts, more fear and trepidation, after all, it was the first time they had seen such a big "strange person".
In order to break the embarrassment, Chen Zeyu decided to curry favor with them first, "Who was the one just now?
One of the villagers in the villain slowly raised his hand.
"Well, tell me where you want to build the fish pond?"
The little villager looked stunned, but still pointed to a clearing near the primeval forest.
The clearing is overgrown with weeds, with only a few crooked-neck trees, and it is indeed a good place to open a pond.
Chen Zeyu walked towards the open space, every time his feet landed, the shock to the villagers was huge, and the closer he got closer, the more unstable he became, and he held his hands together one by one.
After walking to the open space, Chen Zeyu began to dig a pit in the ground with his bare hands, and he didn't think about building here when he came, so he didn't bring any tools.
Fortunately, digging a pond can still be solved with both hands.
With a tree in one hand and a handful of soil dug up, Chen Zeyu quickly dug a pit on the ground. After a while, he dug a pit almost 1 meter long and 50 centimeters wide. He dug this pit according to the proportions of the little people, because he decided to raise duckbills in this dug pit.
Even so, this pit is enough for the little people, it can no longer be regarded as a pond, it can almost be described as a lake.
After building a small lake, it is time to consider the issue of water diversion. There is a small stream outside Chen Zeyu's Taohuayuan Village, the water is very shallow, and there is no way to raise fish, and the villagers are just washing clothes by the stream. The creek is too small, and the pit dug by Chen Zeyu is almost half a meter deep, and it will not be able to lead to water for a while.
Chen Zeyu wanted to ask the villagers' opinions, but when he turned around, the villagers of Peach Blossom Land immediately exclaimed, their souls were about to fall, and a few of them fell to the ground.
When Chen Zeyu was digging the pit just now, the villagers were watching from behind him. They watched Chen Zeyu digging in the soil, and they were stunned one by one, as if they couldn't believe the scene happening in front of them.
Chen Zeyu saw the expressions of the villagers, and also knew a little, now the villagers who have just come into contact with the Peach Blossom Spring, must let them have faith in themselves, so that they will obey their orders, and even give up.
Since ancient times, Chinese people have worshiped not others, but their ancestors.
"Do you know which god is the rain in the sky?" asked Chen Zeyu.
"Huh?"
"Uh...... The gods of rainfall ......"
……
The villagers of Taohuayuan Village began to discuss, and the question sounded a little incredible. Chen Zeyu still wondered if there were no other gods in this world except for the land gods?
"It's the Dragon King!" a villager shouted timidly.
In mythology, the position of the dragon king is to spread clouds and rain. In the old days, temples dedicated to the dragon king were almost as common as temples of the city god and land. Whenever the wind and rain are out of balance, there is no rain for a long time, or when the rain does not stop for a long time, the people have to go to the Dragon King Temple to burn incense and pray for the Dragon King to control the water and the wind and rain to be smooth.
It's just that the Peach Blossom Garden is far away from the town, and the population here is sparse, so these temples are not set up, but the villagers still know that they have to ask for the dragon king for rain. Hearing the villagers' answer, Chen Zeyu nodded, this is the faith he wants.
He wants to instill a kind of thought in the villagers of Peach Blossom Spring, and what the villagers think God can do, he Chen Zeyu can do for the people.
