CHAPTER XVI

Hearing the leader's words, Lang Luo finally bowed his head, "I admit defeat, I have little strength, but I will be stronger in the future." ”

"Let's wait until then." Lao Su deliberately angered him, really like an old child.

Dayi selectively ignored Yao Chonghua and Qin Buxuan and his party, and only said to Lao Suo: "Why did you deliberately make things difficult for him as soon as you came?" Your grandson is good, and his hand strength is so great that he is suitable for drawing a bow. ”

"Am I really fit to draw a bow?" Originally, when the little transparent Fang Hui appeared in the freshman year, his eyes and body became hot.

A little bigger, "It's just a little smaller, how old are you now?" ”

"It's eleven."

"How did you grow so young at eleven? The old man won't give you food? Dayi didn't expect that an eleven-year-old child would only look like he was about eight or nine years old.

When Fang Hui heard this, he made a circle uncomfortably, "I'm not the grandson of the old man. ”

"Old man, you force people?" Dayi didn't know that Old Man Wu was so miserable now, he had no grandson, and he even had to force him.

After hearing this, Lao Suo didn't think there was anything wrong with wishful thinking forcing others to be grandsons, "Even if he is not my grandson, he can be my apprentice, it doesn't matter if the grandson is an apprentice or an apprentice, anyway, it's my heir." ”

"I don't want to be your grandson, nor your apprentice, I want to be the apprentice of the leader of Dayi." Fang Hui was really reluctant to be Lao Suo's apprentice and grandson.

Dayi was puzzled, "Do you want to be my apprentice?" ”

Fang Hui nodded.

"I have never accepted apprentices, and the people who follow me to shoot arrows are all my clansmen, and I have never accepted outsiders." Dayi is a little embarrassed, almost every tribe has its own ability not to be passed on, they can use these skills to get things to exchange for other tribes' things, just like a poor clan is good at hunting, they can use the hunted beasts or animal skins to exchange clay pots and grain with others, etc., if these skills are learned by outsiders, then their tribe will become poorer and poorer, the population will move out, the tribe will not become a tribe, and finally disappear.

Fang Hui looked at Lao Su expectantly, hoping that Lao Su would help him say a few good words, in fact, Lao Su always knew that Fang Hui wanted to be Dayi's apprentice, otherwise he would not have followed him all the time, but unfortunately the current situation of the tribe is like this. If Dayi really didn't want to accept it, then Fang Hui would have to continue to follow him, he felt that there was nothing wrong with being his grandson or apprentice, "Of course, this depends on the leader's opinion." ”

"I'll think about it again, old man, you've come from afar to talk outside for so long, so let's come in first." After saying that, he withdrew and made way and asked Lao Suo to enter the poor tribe.

And Yao Chonghua, Qin Buxuan and others, who have been left out in the cold, saw that they were leaving, where could they just let them go, and if they couldn't get in, how could they promote the rule of law?

Qin Buxuan hurriedly stopped them, "The leader of Dayi stays, in the next Qin Buxu, this righteous son of the big leader of Gaotao, Yao Chonghua, the little master, we are here from Longshan, and we are ordered by the big leader to discuss the rule of law with the leader of Dayi." ”

Dayi stopped when he heard this, and turned to look at them, "Rule of law? What is the rule of law? ”

Qin Buxu explained: "There are poor clans far away in the mountains and forests, the news may be a little blocked, as early as more than two years ago, the big chief has begun to try the rule of law in Longshan, more than two years, Longshan's increasing prosperity proves that this is a feasible method, so I want to promote it to the entire Dongyi, I hope that every tribe in Dongyi can be as prosperous as Longshan, and prosper together." ”

Dayi was a little disdainful, "Even if there is no rule of law, I am now living well in the entire poor clan, as long as you officials from Longshan do not come to harass, we will be more prosperous." ”

"Leader Dayi, your words are wrong, the current poor clan seems to be living well on the surface, but it is too dependent on your mountain and forest resources, if there is a drought one day, the beasts in the mountains and forests are in short supply, will your life be as good as it is now?" Along the way, Yao Chonghua carefully observed the situation around the Youqi clan, and combined with the reason why Dayi left the Youqi clan, it is not difficult to think of the limitations of this tribe.

Yao Chonghua's words just hit Dayi's worries, thinking that back then, because of the drought, he had to leave the mountains and forests of the poor clan, and after he came back, there were several major droughts in the poor clan, and every time there was a big drought, their tribe would die a lot of people, but the drought was a natural disaster, how could people stop it?

"Once there is a big drought, the mountains and forests are still prone to fire, there are fewer wild beasts, and the storage time of cooked meat is not long at all, in order to survive, you need to go to other tribes to exchange food, but haven't you been taken advantage of by other tribes? Normally, a wild goat can be exchanged for three bags of rice, but in the drought, it is good to be able to exchange one bag. "What Yao Chonghua said is the truth, most of the primitive tribes are relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the river to eat the river, not only the poor clan, the whole world is affected by natural factors very much, when the disaster comes, it is difficult to survive only by their own strength, the tribes exchange with each other, if it is a good relationship before, you can still lend a hand, but like the poor, the folk customs are more strong, it is difficult to say, and the harvest of the tribe that grows crops during the drought will be greatly reduced, It is absolutely impossible to exchange the equation according to the usual way.

Dayi said: "What's the use of saying this? Can the rule of law prevent another major drought in the world? ”

Yao Chonghua said: "The rule of law cannot prevent natural disasters, but it can affect man-made disasters. ”

Dayi lowered his head and pondered, thinking of those tribesmen who starved to death in vain because they couldn't get food after the disaster, but he couldn't do anything to watch those corpses turn into bones, and the helpless emotion in his heart would affect him for a long time after the disaster, "Is there any way you can solve this problem?" ”

"It's better for the leader of Dayi to let us enter the Youshi to sit down, we promise not to be greedy for your wealth like the previous officials, we won't ask for a single animal skin, please believe that we are here for the good of Dongyi and for the good of your tribe." Yao Chonghua said sincerely.

After thinking about it again and again, Dayi agreed to let Yao Chonghua, Qin Buxu and others enter the poor clan, and Lao Suo walked in front and said to Dayi: "Don't worry about the bitter gourd face, when I meet them on the road, they don't often do anything out of bounds to me, anyway, they don't seem to be bad people." ”

"Don't you know, in the past three years since you left, there have been no less than seven or eight ministers in Longshan, and each of them has taken a lot of things, and in the past year, as long as they come, I will blast them out, no matter what position he has, what aristocracy he has, I Dayi is not afraid."

"Okay, okay, what kind of Longtan tiger's den were you so good back then, didn't you break through? Will you still be afraid of a few ordinary people? Even if they let them in, if they have bad intentions, you still have a way to clean them up. ”

Entering the poor clan, Yao Chonghua found that the atmosphere of the poor clan's martial arts is really much stronger than that of Longshan, a few years ago, under the influence of Gao Tao Renzheng, Longshan's style of doing things is relatively gentle, and the people don't like to do things violently, plus in recent years, the trial of benevolent government and the rule of law, there are almost no major hundred miles of incidents, but there are poor people here as soon as they enter the door, there are a lot of striking sticks, archery, hunting bows, sharp stones, there are almost no people farming, so they have no farm tools, only hunting tools.

And there are poor people who are martial, when passing through some courtyards, Yao Chonghua also saw some people in Zama step, kicking legs, hitting wooden stakes, it turns out that kung fu began like this, Yao Chonghua wondered, since China has already had external strength in ancient times, is there any internal strength?

The architectural style of the poor family's house is not much different from Longshan, but it is not so delicate in comparison, and Yao Chonghua and his party are not arranged in a very narrow courtyard, there are only five rooms, Qin Buxuan originally arranged one room for Yao Chonghua alone, and the remaining thirteen people squeezed four rooms together, but Yao Chonghua doesn't want to be special, and he is not a noble person, "If Qin Buxuan's eldest brother doesn't mind, let's have one room with Chonghua, and the rest of the soldiers will have one room for every three people." ”

Qin Buxu naturally has nothing to say, Yao Chonghua doesn't dislike him, "I've known the little master for several years, and I always feel that you are very casual in everything, but sometimes I feel that no matter what you do, it seems to be very reasonable." ”

"Brother Qin Buxu, we have known each other for so many years, Chonghua is not less tired of you, I still remember the first time we met, I made you disgraced and dug charcoal with me, now when we go out, we don't have to be restrained so much, we don't need to call the little master, just call Chonghua like our father-in-law, or call Ahua like Shen Tu Yulei." Yao Chonghua felt that Qin Buxuan was too polite to him, he was a few years older than himself.

"You are the righteous son of the great chief, one of the main promoters of the rule of law, a little sage of Dongyi, or a great benefactor of Dongyi, erudite and resourceful." Qin Buxuan was brought to respect Gao Tao by his father since he was a child, and I don't know when the dignity of his status seemed very serious in his eyes, and he set a boundary in his heart, reminding himself that he could not cross the line all the time.

It's this set again, Yao Chonghua is almost numb by what everyone says, "What kind of benefactor am I Dongyi?" Don't forget that I'm also a Dongyi person, and a Dongyi person works for Dongyi, shouldn't it? ”

"Can that be the same?"

"Brother Qin Buxu, you are also from Dongyi, you have done a lot of things for Dongyi, and you are also the promoter of the rule of law, and your role in promoting the rule of law in the future is even much higher than that of Chonghua, so aren't you also a great benefactor of Dongyi? In this case, why should we be humble to each other if we are both great benefactors of Dongyi? Is equality bad? ”

"I'm not a big benefactor, I don't have any big contributions, it's mainly because of you and the big leader, I'm just at your disposal."

"Without your help, how could it be so easy for us to enforce the rule of law in Yongsan? Everyone who pays should be respected, whether it is a farmer, a weaver girl, a hunter, a pottery well, or a merchant, they rely on their own ability to survive in this world, and they don't owe us a grain of grain, so why do we have to be in a row? Wouldn't it be nice if you just treated me like them? ”

"But if you contribute more than theirs, you deserve more respect."

Yao Chonghua is helpless, this person is usually very clever, why is he so elm-headed in this matter? "I've received enough respect from you, but in being kind to each other, you're going to push me farther and farther away, can't we be friends?"

"The little master wants to be my friend?"

"yes, I think you're a pretty good person."
