Chapter 35 Xuanniao Imperial Five Phoenixes

The wolf is one of the first animals tamed by humans, and it is also one of the earliest animals worshipped by humans.

The meaning of totem is a kind of yearning for the powerful or beautiful thing of human beings, and it is also the original image of natural religion, especially in the sense of nomadism.

In ancient times, most nomads used wolves as totems, and the reason is likely to be the rule of the nomadic regime, which is not the same as the farming people, they advocate the rule of power, so the living habits of the wolf are the most suitable way to rule their culture.

The wolf is a social animal, and the head wolf has the supreme right, just as the agricultural civilization regards the Son of Heaven as a divine authority, and the wolf as a totem is also the 'divine authority' of the nomadic people.

In the myths and stories of the nomadic peoples, whether it is the Xiongnu, Wusun, Turkic, Khitan and other ethnic groups, they are all combined with wolves and humans or wolves and gods, and their people are left.

It can be seen that since ancient times, human beings have a very profound understanding of wolves.

The leader of the head wolf has absolute domination, and the wolf pack has absolute obedience, which is the origin of the royal family's green wolf order.

When Wang Jian attacked Zhao when he had not yet become a general, he once subdued a small tribe, which later followed Wang Jian to fight in the east and west, and made great achievements for the Wang family, and was the most important retainer of the Wang family, and the green wolf order also represented the highest combat power and absolute loyalty of the Wang family.

Even if Wang Li wanted to take these forty or so people to rebel, they would definitely not have any objections, because they were not serving the Qin State, but the Wang family.

That's why Wang Li was so shocked by the appearance of the Blue Wolf Order, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The Zhu family didn't speak, waited for Wang Li to take away the green wolf order before getting up, took out a strange musical instrument and blew it, and then saw more than fifty horsemen and horses rushing out of the narrow mountain road, kneeling on the ground to salute Wang Li.

Wang Li waved his hand casually and threw the green wolf order to Wang Xu, "In the future, you will listen to him in the future." ”

Wang Xu was slightly stunned, and looked at Wang Li in some surprise.

The Zhu family also looked at Wang Li in astonishment, as if they were very dissatisfied with this decision, and as for the others, they didn't dare to raise their heads.

"In that case, then you should take a rest first, and then learn the art of mining from my country's big Sima Mo wolf, and everyone will be colleagues in the future, so you have to get along well." Wang Xu smiled at them.

After hearing Wang Xu's words, the ink wolf, who was still a little nervous when he saw so many well-equipped 'aliens', instantly straightened his back, his pitch-black chest hair and cinder-stained skin shining in the sun, and began to communicate with Wang Li's people in his not-so-standard Yayan.

The Zhu family glanced at their subordinates who were communicating with those 'savages' with grievances on their faces, walked towards Wang Li and whispered, "Childe, this is the Lone Bamboo Country mentioned in your letter?" ”

"I know what you're questioning, and your doubts will disappear in a few days." Wang Li said in a deep voice.

The Zhu family frowned, looked at Wang Xu, who was touching their war horse with a smile on his face, and closed his mouth wisely.

I have to admit that Wang Xu's appearance is still very deceptive, with a strange outfit and short hair, and what is even more shocking is the pair of 'sage pupils' that only appear in history, the Zhu family is familiar with history books, and naturally knows what it means to be virtuous, but he didn't expect to really be able to meet this kind of visionary person.

So he was even more curious about how Wang Xu would lead this group of savages to help the head of the family get out of the predicament.

To get out of the predicament, the main thing is to walk, and walking on two legs is definitely not as fast as walking on four legs, fifty-three horses, such a large fortune Wang Xu is ecstatic.

With these fifty-three horses, Wang Xu no longer has to worry about the various situations that will happen on the migration road, nor does he have to worry about the labor force of the cultivation later, touching the satin-like fur of these horses, Wang Xu can be said to be ecstatic.

"Emperor, General Wang Ben also gave us some coils for some daily use." Tu Tan pointed to the two carriages that were pushed up.

Wang Xu lifted the curtain of the carriage, which was filled with all kinds of linen and daily necessities, as well as a few bags of grain and seeds.

"This is the local seed we bought when we were repairing the village on the road." Tu Tan introduced.

"A great achievement." Wang Xu endured the joy and nodded without changing his face, "Have you encountered any difficulties on the road?" ”

"Except for meeting some Qin State spies, there is no obstacle, and the general asked me to bring you a message." Tu Tan cleared his throat, "East of Yishui, stop in the Central Plains." ”

Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are there any of our people here?" ”

Tu Tan shook his head, "Our people are all trapped in Liaoyang City, if they are transferred out, it may take some time, I am afraid of delaying the emperor's big business." ”

"It's also a good thing to stay with Wang Ben as a hostage." Wang Xu pursed his lips, "From today onwards, you will be a priest of the Guzhu Kingdom, picketing hundreds of officials, and supervising foreign generals." ”

Tu Tan was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down with great joy, "The minister will live up to the emperor's trust, and he will definitely fulfill his duties and be ruined!" ”

"Get up, although there are no officials in the Guzhu Kingdom to picket you, but you still have to have a snack to supervise them." Wang Xu laughed and laughed at himself, "You must always remember that we are allies, but we are not a family." ”

Tu Tan blinked and nodded vigorously, "The minister knows the measure." ”

The official system of Yin Shang is divided into internal service officials and external service officials.

The internal service officer is the official who is responsible for assisting the emperor, in three aspects: religion, internal affairs, and military affairs.

Religion is the head, with the great witch as the respect, and the later as the Situ.

Internal affairs: Yin Hezai, that is, the left and right prime ministers, in the late Shang Dynasty, because of the increase in officials and political factions, the three princes and five officials were added.

Qingshi is a kind of official who is elected by the Gong family, and the three dukes are the honorific titles of this kind of official, and the Shang Dynasty only called the three dukes King Wen, Jiuhou, Ehou, Yiyin, and Fu Shuo.

The five senses were later selected from the people by the Emperor Yin Shang to compete with the officials of the Gong family.

And these facial features are also taken from the Yin Shang totem culture, corresponding to the Xuanniao Royal Five Phoenixes.

The fire phoenix of the red many: the fire behavior is red, and the fire phoenix mouth is red, so it is called 'negative ceremony', so it is Situ, who is responsible for the sacrifice and is in charge of the ceremony.

Qingluan: The husband is benevolent, green, and the crested head is green, so it is called 'Dai Ren', so he is the priest, pickets hundreds of officials, and asks for the people's life.

The white one is the bird: the gold act is righteous and white. The phoenix neck is white, so it is called 'Yingyi', so he is Sima, in charge of military service, and the person who gives food and grass to the army.

Yellow Eagle: Soil is a letter and is yellow. The phoenix's feet are yellow, so it is said that 'the letter' is commonplace, in charge of water conservancy, and creates a conscript.

The purple cormorant: the water behavior is wise, black, the phoenix chest is black, so it is called 'Shang Zhi', so it is the secretary, in charge of the criminal law, and can make good decisions.

Wang Xuxu gave Tu Tan an official position as a priest, which was regarded as drawing a big pie for him, hoping that he could stand up faster and integrate into the Guzhu Country, although the Guzhu Country could not give him any practical benefits now, but as the national group slowly grew, he would naturally find the benefits.

The Zhu family brought a total of forty-seven people, among whom there were really two women, but at a glance, they didn't look like robbing people's girls, because these two women looked even more fierce than men.

Forty-seven people and fifty-three horses, three hours of work efficiency, has already exceeded the previous week's output, carrying nearly two thousand catties of iron ore and coal, as well as the prey hunted halfway back to the clan, Wang Xu inexplicably has an ambitious impulse.

The arrival of a large number of 'foreigners' brought a lot of commotion to the Guzhu people, but they quickly returned to normal under the appeasement of Wang Xu and Mo Kui and others, and in order to welcome the guests, Mo Kui took them to another giant ceremony.

Wang Xu took Tu Shan Niangzi to test the effect of coal and iron smelting.

"The thermal energy of coal is so strong, and the quantity and quality of molten iron have greatly improved." Tu Shan said in surprise after climbing up from the cellar.

"It's a pity that our equipment can't work now, so why don't you try steelmaking?" Wang Xu knocked on the axe that had just been poured, and it was much stronger than the previous one, "Don't use the weapon for the time being, let's make a few of this." ”

Taking the drawings handed over by Wang Xu, Tu Shan Niangzi studied it for a while, but didn't understand "What is this, it's a bit like an iron cone, but it's too big." ”

"Plough shovel." Wang Xu replied.

"Ploughing?" Tu Shan Niangzi was taken aback: "The emperor is really going to cultivate in the bitter cold land of Liaodong?" ”

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, as long as there is soil and water, you can farm." Wang Xu chuckled and looked at the dumb man who was wielding a small hammer not far away and beating a piece of scrap iron, "You teach him to strike iron again?" ”

Tu Shan Niangzi shook her head, "The child is messing around, which makes the emperor laugh." ”

Wang Xu smiled: "Actually, he is more suitable to follow Mo Lian." ”

Tu Shan Niangzi pursed her lips and knelt on the ground, "The criminal knows that he is stupid, he offended the emperor's holy will last time, can the dumb child still have the honor to serve the emperor?" ”

Wang Xu smiled, "Then let him follow Mo Lian first." ”

After speaking, he ignored Tu Shan's disappointed expression, returned to the square, and found that the square was drunk with a group of people, and the smell of wine and burnt barbecue was permeating the air.

"What's going on?" Wang Xu was a little surprised and grabbed Mo Kui, who was in a trance.

"Great, Emperor!" Mo Kui's face was flushed, and after screaming excitedly, he knelt on the ground and saluted, chanting something in his mouth, as if he was repenting, and fell to the ground without moving.

Wang Xu frowned and probed his snort, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he beckoned two women to send Mo Kui back to the house.

Obviously, this is the first time that the people of the Guzhu clan have drunk, and only Mo Wolf and Mo Jia are still fighting with the Zhu family and others under the bonfire, and there are several jars of wine on the ground.

Wang Li, who was reclining on the stone chair, laughed when he saw Wang Xu coming, "Come on, come on, Emperor, taste our mortal wine!" ”

Wang Xu took the pottery bowl and took a sip, almost throwing it out.
