Chapter 6: Two Ways Out of the Dilemma

Human beings' fear of nature has created a sense of awe, and it is also with this awe that human civilization can think in awe, and then slowly develop.

The Chinese civilization is the only civilization with a complete written history among all civilizations, but the exact belief in the world began in the Zhou Dynasty, and even the history of the Xia and Shang periods has some mythological elements, which is inseparable from the theocratic civilization of the early Chinese race.

From the birth of the founding ancestors of the Xia and Shang dynasties, it can be seen that the theocratic development of Chinese civilization at that time.

Dayu, the founding monarch of the Xia Dynasty, is said to have jumped out of the belly of his father's corpse.

The ancestor of the Shang Dynasty left an oracle of 'the Divine Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to Shang'.

In Wang Xu's view, the main reason behind all this is for the rationality of a rule, in the ancient uncivilized era, the awe between people in addition to force, should be a spiritual deterrent, the first to civilize the wisdom of the group of people, as a matter of course borrowed the power of nature to create the 'gods'.

Comparing himself to the spokesman of the 'gods' in the world, leading the people to multiply, this is the initial stage of the theocratic society.

But as more and more human beings begin to civilize and derive wisdom, there will be many differences in this superficial theocracy, which is the main reason for the increasing number of gods in Chinese mythology.

It was not until the emergence of the Zhou people, who absorbed many primitive tribal cultures and integrated them into one, changed the pattern of Chinese theocracy, and officially snatched the ruling power from the hands of the 'gods', and turned it into a simple trade-off of interests between people.

But even so, the Zhou people did not completely abandon some of the convenience brought by theocracy, at least in terms of pacifying and ruling ordinary people, the role of theocracy was more effective than that of imperial power.

Because the emergence of theocracy comes from the most primitive fear of human beings, even in modern times, when the illiteracy rate is extremely low more than 2,000 years later, the power of 'theocracy' still makes people feel frightened.

The fact that the Guzhu Kingdom has been able to survive to this day is inseparable from the spiritual power given by the divine right, and Wang Xu knows that the spiritual belief of the people of the Guzhu Country cannot be easily broken, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.

Because of the relationship between the same origin and the same root in the development process of human civilization, there are many overlaps and similarities in the ancient civilizations, especially in the setting of ancient myths, whether it is the myth of the civilization of the two river basins or the civilization of the ocean basin, there are a lot of overlaps in the setting, at least the gods of wind, thunder, rain and lightning are similar.

But if you compare the gods of Huaxia carefully, it seems that they are different from the gods of other civilizations.

In Greek mythology, Prometheus, who stole the fire, was punished by Zeus.

However, in Chinese mythology, the Suiren clan who brought the fire became the ancestor of the fire and raised the children of Fuxi Nuwa.

In the Bible, in order to punish human greed, God launched a flood to destroy mankind, leaving only Noah's family to multiply.

However, in Chinese mythology, Gonggong Zhurong crashed into Buzhou Mountain and caused a flood, but Nuwa, as a god, sacrificed herself to make up for the sky.

The gods in other civilizations seem to carry the indifferent and ruthless sanctions of the superiors, but the gods in the Chinese civilization are the beings who lead and help human beings, in other words, the gods in Chinese mythology exist for human beings.

The definition of gods, in addition to the high mystery in Chinese civilization, is more about the closeness of Chinese people.

Looking at the people of the Guzhu clan who were cheering after praying outside, Wang Xu found that he had found a reason to be the 'emperor' of these people with peace of mind.

Turning his head to look at Wang Li, who was still asleep, Wang Xu opened his laptop and began to look for the fastest way to help the clansmen out of the predicament.

The laptop is still very useful, and it contains dozens of T archaeological data that he has accumulated over the years, which is real archaeological data.

Although most of the information in it is useless, because it is only now the Qin Dynasty, the materials of the later dynasties are either not born or not built.

But there are always some surprises or something.

The more important information is the geography and flora and fauna, which can allow Wang Xu to quickly improve the living conditions of the people.

Migration is necessary, and the tribe now lives in an uninhabitable place, with no suitable place to cultivate, and no abundant water source, except for the wild plants in the surrounding forests, which depend on hunting for food, but if they do not store enough food before the winter, the tribe is likely not to survive this winter.

It's autumn now, and the weather is obviously getting colder.

The change of the earth's climate has a huge impact on human civilization, and can even change the rise and fall of a dynasty, and the main reason why several ethnic minorities have gone south in history is because of global cooling, there is not enough pasture on the grassland and there is no food source, they can only choose to plunder.

Unfortunately, the Qin Dynasty was a dynasty from the Cold Wave period, from 476 BC to 100 BC, from the early Warring States period to the Western Han Dynasty, the Norwegian snow line showed a rapid drop in world temperatures, which is clearly recorded in Zhu Kezhen's climate change map.

This is also the most frequent era of the Central Plains Huaxia and the Sifang Yidi Barbarian Qiang, the more representative ones are Donghu, Xiongnu, Rouran and so on.

If it weren't for the harsh climate in the Northeast region, it would be difficult to survive and farm, and the vast plains and land mineral resources of the three eastern provinces would be enough to support another not weak Central Plains Dynasty.

To be able to confirm that it should still be in the Qinhuangdao area, Wang Xu checked the map with his mobile phone, and finally chose a few locations suitable for settlement, all of which are near hot springs, which can solve part of the heating problem, after all, Wang Xu does not have many ways to keep out the cold in his hand now, but there is information on the kang, and Wang Xu himself can also disk, but there are no such convenient materials.

This is not the future generations, buy some cement and you can plate it yourself, before making the ondol, Wang Xu has to get the cement out first, and the high-quality cement in the later generations will definitely not be able to get it.

Lime mortar and glutinous rice lime mortar can be selected, both can replace cement.

However, in a short period of time, due to the high intelligence of lime mortar, although the strength is very poor, it is really the only thing that can be achieved, because it only needs lime, sand and gravel.

There are naturally volcanoes where there are hot springs, and there are still many dormant volcanoes around the Bohai Sea, and you may be able to find unexplored volcanoes and pick up some gems.

I compared Mo Kui's map with the map on the computer, and finally planned two routes, one is to follow the official road, so as to ensure that it will not be disturbed by wild beasts, but the risk is also huge, because the Yan Kingdom is now in a state of war, if you can follow Wang Li's thigh, then this route is the best choice.

The other is to cross the primeval forest, according to Mokui's map, this road may meet at least three or more barbarian tribes, countless fierce beasts, for the current Lone Bamboo people, is a huge challenge.

But no matter which way it goes, Wang Xu hopes to quickly strengthen the combat effectiveness and survivability of his clansmen.

After brainstorming, he found out in despair that it was difficult for Qiao Woman to cook without rice, and he could not find any raw materials needed for the equipment of the armed tribesmen, although he now had a map of the mineral resources in the surrounding area and iron smelting materials in his hands.

This feeling of helplessness is like that of a three-year-old child holding a divine weapon in his hand.

Wang Xu, who was racking his brains to find a way, suddenly saw the iron armor piled on the ground, and his inspiration flashed.

There is no copper or iron, but there is wood.

The more famous non-metallic armor in history is the famous rattan armor soldiers during the Three Kingdoms period.

However, in addition to rattan armor, the archaeological community has also found that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a kind of armor called 'Hejia' was found in a mausoleum in Wu State.

This armor is made of wood chips and hides, and although it has poor defense, it should be effective against beasts and barbarians in the jungle.

Moreover, Wang Xu is also going to try to build a 'wooden mobile bunker' so that he should be invincible when he shuttles through the forest, and the barbarians' wolf tooth arrows and stone weapons should be difficult to break through.

Let the ink wolf guarding the door call Mo Kui over.

"Emperor, are you looking for me?" Mo Kui, who had been jumping with his clansmen all night, was not tired at all, and his old face still had a hint of ruddyness.

"Is there a craftsman in the clan?" Wang Xu asked.

"Craftsman?" Mo Kui was stunned, and seemed to be a little unfamiliar with this term.

However, it is also understandable that if there were really craftsmen, whether they were carpenters or stonemasons, blacksmiths, or even tailors, the houses of the Guzhu tribe would not be so shabby.

"Forget it, when I didn't ask." Wang Xu waved his hand: "Is there a clansman with skillful hands?" ”

"Yes." Mo Kui's face was ashamed, "Tu Shan's family can not only make bows and arrows, but also burn bricks and stones. ”

"Oh? Is there such a talent? Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, in this era, a woman should indeed have some skills to be able to name herself with her surname.

"The ancestor of Tushan Niangzi used to be a master craftsman of the Celestial Empire, and was later relegated to the Guzhu Country to build the ancestral tomb, but later the ancestral tomb was not completed, and the Zhou thief rebelled." Mo Kui said indignantly.

"Call her, I've got something to ask her." Wang Xu.

Mo Kui instructed Mo Wolf to call someone, and glanced at Wang Li, who was still asleep, "Emperor, I'll carry this Qin man elsewhere." ”

"No need, I have to take care of him personally, can we get out of here smoothly, he is an important person." Wang Xu said with a smile.

Mo Kui narrowed his eyes, "The Great Emperor doesn't have to deign to be burdened, just leave it to us." ”

"In this environment, you can't condescend if you want to." Wang Xu quipped.

Unexpectedly, Mo Kui immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and said repeatedly, "Forgive your sins." ”

Wang Xu had a headache, and felt that he would have to pay more attention to what he said in the future, the ancients really didn't have any humor cells.
