Chapter 122: The Heavenly Article of the Lonely Bamboo Country

Natural disasters such as torrential rains and floods, no matter how big or small, will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to human beings, and even put their lives at risk.

The traces of the original slaves outside the city washed into the city with the flood and torrential rain, and when the flood waters receded, they left a mess in the city, which merged with the humid air, forming an unpleasant smell that wafted through the city.

In addition, the sound of the trumpet of troops from the palace in the early morning completely disturbed the sweet dreams of the residents of the city, so that they had to get up from the damp beds, command the slaves at home to clean their own yards, and then gossip with their neighbors, what is the purpose of this army.

For the ordinary people of Bai Di Min, fighting a war is actually not a particularly important thing, because the wars of Bai Di Bu over the years have been against various small fetter tribes, and several large tribes around it are their allies, and Bai Di basically has no particularly major wars.

Therefore, even if the troops are sent to fight, it will not affect the normal life of Bai Dibu, at most, there are fewer soldiers in the city.

It is a very peaceful city, and the people who live in such peace have long had no concept of war.

The royal family spent a lot of money to train soldiers, and in their eyes they used it as a tool to manage the group of dirty and lowly slaves outside the city, and several major clans used to show their strength.

They do not have the concept of defending their families and the country for their soldiers.

Therefore, even if there are no soldiers in the city, they will not be panicked and uneasy.

In particular, the filthy slaves outside the city disappeared during the month and became sacks of grain, which were transported back to the town, and the mood of the residents of the city became better.

Even in the face of a messy city that has not yet been cleaned up, these residents have a little more smile on their faces.

They didn't know that a change of power was taking place in the royal palace, which was separated by an inner wall.

I didn't know that the army that went out in the early morning had been wiped out by the Linhu army hundreds of miles away and became prisoners.

I don't know that their fate has completely changed.

Qiu He stood on the tower and looked down on the outer city, looking at the residents on the dirty streets who were directing slaves to clean up the streets and chatting and laughing with their neighbors, with a strange smile on his face.

"If you are in the country of lonely bamboo, this kind of guy who stands alone and doesn't work with his hands will have nothing to eat." Ink Wolf stood aside and frowned.

"Oh? Everyone has to work in the country of lonely bamboo? Qiu He raised his eyebrows slightly.

The name of the Lone Bamboo Country is still a little unfamiliar to him, even if he has now become a member of the Lone Bamboo Country and has been entrusted with important tasks by the Emperor, but whether it is Modu or Chaoge, he has never been there, and he doesn't even know where these two cities are, what kind of clothes the people in them wear, and what their living conditions are.

Everything in the Lonely Bamboo Country was extremely foreign to him.

Even with infinite curiosity and yearning in his heart, Qiu He never asked the ink wolf or the Zhu family anything about the Lonely Bamboo Country.

Because with his understanding, although the emperor personally promised to accept the Qiu clan to return to Yin Shang, he still made a verbal promise, but in fact he still had a problem with him, or other factors.

Therefore, before he proved his ability and loyalty with sufficient results, Qiu He did not dare to take a step forward.

But now that he was immediately in his pocket, Qiu He thought that he should be qualified to know what kind of place Guzhu Country was.

Qiu He had such a rich psychological activity, and the ink wolf naturally couldn't feel it, but when he mentioned the Lonely Bamboo Country, he subconsciously straightened his waist, with a proud look on his face, "The emperor said that labor is the most glorious, even the gods have to work, let alone mortals?" Anyone who does not work will be abandoned by the gods, anyone who is lazy will be despised by the gods, and anyone who tries to get something for nothing will be punished by the gods. ”

Qiu He's eyes widened in surprise, "The Great Emperor really has to work too?" ”

"The first porridge in the Lonely Bamboo Country, the first iron utensils, the first house, the first set of wooden armor, everything was made by the emperor himself, and even the first piece of iron ore was dug by the emperor himself, you even question the emperor not working?" The ink wolf raised his eyebrows and glared at Qiu He with some anger.

"I'm not questioning, I'm just surprised." Qiu He hurriedly waved his hand.

"And the Great Emperor is the hardest-working, he needs to work for the livelihood of our whole clan, even the Great Emperor's god-like existence has to work, what reason do these stupid mortals have to be lazy?" The ink wolf pointed at the residents of the city with disdain, "These people will not only not have food in the future, but will also be despised by everyone, phew." ”

The corners of Qiu He's mouth twitched, he blinked, nodded in agreement, and whispered, "These guys who are easy and hardworking will be nailed to the pillar of fire and punished!" ”

"What is a pillar of fire?" Ink Wolf wondered.

"It's the huge stone pillar in Linhubu Square, those who have made mistakes in the past will be tied to the stone pillar and exposed to the scorching sun as punishment, and those who have committed serious mistakes will also light the stone pillar and bake the sinners to dry." Qiu He explained.

"Well, there is no such exaggerated punishment in the Lonely Bamboo Country, we just despise the lazy, alienate them, and let them reflect on themselves." The ink wolf waved his hand, took it out in his arms, took out a roll of animal skins and handed it to Qiu He, "Those who are too lazy will also be punished for carving this on the wall." ”

Qiu He took the animal skin and opened it, and there was a neat and beautiful deed (oracle bone inscription) written inside.

Be proud of loving the lonely bamboo, and be ashamed of endangering the lonely bamboo.

Be proud to serve the people and be ashamed to turn away from the people.

Be proud of the canons of God, and be ashamed of ignorance.

Be proud of your hard work and be ashamed of your good and bad work.

Be proud of solidarity and mutual assistance, and be ashamed of harming others and benefiting yourself.

Be proud of honesty and trustworthiness, and be ashamed of forgetting righteousness for profit.

Be proud of abiding by the law and be ashamed of violating the law.

Be proud of hard work and be ashamed of arrogance and luxury.

I don't know why, when he saw this neat and beautiful rule, Qiu He had a sense of shock and unconsciously had the urge to worship.

Although Qiu He had not read the complete laws of the Yin Shang or Zhou dynasties, he had also read some unique books of laws, none of which could make him more touched than these more than a hundred words of proverbs.

Although he didn't know what he was feeling.

That's the wonder.

"The Great Emperor said that this is the heavenly rule of the Lone Bamboo Country, and it is the first regulation that the Yin Shang people must abide by." Mo Wolf carefully explained, "If you don't understand the above meaning, I can explain it to you." ”

"Brother Wolf, can you please let me make a copy? I want to take it with me and see it every day. Qiu He said with pleading eyes.

"Originally, it was nothing for Tiantiao to give you, but this one was rewarded by the emperor, so you must return it to me after you copy it." The ink wolf hesitated for a moment and said nervously.

"Don't worry." Qiu He was like a treasure, and he was ready to put it away and copy it with a smile on his face.

"In fact, if you ask the Emperor for it, the Emperor will reward you with a share, and the Emperor will reward you with divine blessings than the one you copied yourself." Ink Wolf smiled again and said, "After all, you have contributed a lot to this mission. ”

Qiu He was stunned, and asked a little crampedly, "I, can I make a request to the emperor?" ”

"As long as you complete the task assigned by the emperor, you can make a request to the emperor, even if you don't mention it, the emperor will take the initiative to reward you, paid labor is a rule that high-quality clansmen must abide by." Ink Wolf laughed.

"What is it? Paid labor? Qiu He was stunned again.

"In addition to completing your own work, other people's commissions or tasks are within the scope of paid labor, and you can ask the other party to pay for it." At this time, the ink wolf did not look like the usual dull and coarse at all, but like a sophisticated scholar.

"The task assigned by the Emperor is also counted? Serving the Emperor should be the honor of our courtiers? Qiu He was a little confused.

"If you want to do voluntary work, you will be respected by everyone, but if other people want to pay you, they will also follow the rules, and there is no conflict between the two." Ink Wolf chuckled.

"Voluntary labor?" Qiu He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"There are three kinds of daily labor in the country of Lone Bamboo, and basic labor is the amount of work that all ethnic groups must complete every day. Paid labor and compulsory labor are both entrusted tasks received in addition to basic labor, but it is the individual's freedom to choose which way to choose, one can ask for or give payment, and the other does not need to be paid. Ink Wolf explained in detail.

"Lonely Bamboo Country, it's really a desirable way of life." Qiu He blinked blankly and expectantly, and sighed softly.

"These are all taught to me by Situ, and I don't know if the explanation is correct, but when you arrive in the Lonely Bamboo Country, you will understand it in one class." The ink wolf smiled and patted Qiu He's shoulder, "Let's deal with the tail matter." ”

Qiu He shook his head, dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, and looked at the guards on the other towers of the city wall, "There are a total of fifty guards on the outer city wall, all of them are Murong exhausted people, I will replace them all with tokens later, how many of us are there?" ”

The ink wolf narrowed his eyes, "The thirty members of the royal army, as well as the thirty rangers left by the Zhu family, and the one hundred reserve soldiers who mixed in, if Murong exhausted didn't lie to you and all the troops were handed over to you, then even if it was the people on the city wall, there were three hundred and fifty people in total, and if we attack now, we should be able to easily get it." ”

"If it is a head, Murong Qian really has no one in his hands, but he is a cunning and cautious person, it is difficult to ensure that there is no backhand, it is better to be safe." Qiu He shook his head, "According to the time, Mr. Zhu and Da Liangzao have already succeeded, and they should be rushing over." ”

"Then if it's okay, I'll go see Miss Zhou?" The ink wolf suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment.

Qiu He smiled, "She is very safe, don't worry, and she is not in a hurry." ”

"When you raided Zhou's family, you scared her." The ink wolf touched his chin.

"If not, how can she see her brother's gentleness?" Qiu He patted the ink wolf on the shoulder and laughed.

"Good brother." The ink wolf was stunned for a moment, and laughed too.
