CHAPTER XIX

Early the next morning, Yao Chonghua was woken up by Wu Laosuo's loud voice, and Fang Hui still sat from afar and watched them. Wu Zhu Jiu ordered the people of the poor clan to bring their local clay over, and said respectfully to Yao Chonghua: "Little Lord Chonghua, did we wake you up?" I've told them to be as quiet as possible, and who knows if they're still moving so loudly? It's okay, we'll just put the dirt in the yard first and wait until you have time. ”

Having said that, Yao Chonghua knew that they must be in a hurry to make a water tank now, and he didn't toss these poor people, washed his hands and faces, and began to make water tank molds.

It took about two or three hours for the wooden structure outside the water tank model to be completed, and at this time Dayi took people into the courtyard where Yao Chonghua lived, and the slave behind him was carrying a few pheasants and hares, as well as a deer, it was not difficult to see that he went hunting early in the morning, and the way of exercising in the morning was really exciting.

Dayi looked around the model of the water tank and asked Yao Chonghua, "Little Master Chonghua, what is this for?" Putting up a pile of wood, is it to make a big barrel? ”

Wu Zhu Jiu didn't understand, "Yes, Master Chonghua, we make such a big bucket, but there are still some gaps in the middle, and we can't hold any water, what is this for?" ”

"Didn't you say you were going to make a water tank? This is the first step in making a water tank. Yao Chonghua replied.

Dayi, Wu Zhu Jiu, Wu Laosuo, and people from the poor family all feel strange, they have not made clay pots, the first step should be to make pottery cups first, how did Yao Chonghua become a big bucket first? Or a big bucket with holes.

Yao Chonghua explained: "A few people don't know, although this model has a little loophole, but it does not prevent us from making a large water tank, the water tank is so big, it is difficult to use the hand to hold up the clay, we first do this model, and then pour the soil into it, it is much more convenient, Bi Bao kiln is made according to this method." ”

There are poor people who don't know how to make a big water tank, and since Yao Chonghua said so, they can only do this.

Qin Buxu followed Dayi and Lao Wu Zhu Jiu into the house to discuss the rule of law, leaving Yao Chonghua, Nong, Wu Laosuo and some poor people to make water tanks together, and there were a few slaves standing on the side.

Now Yao Chonghua knows that almost every tribe will have slaves, and they are usually defeated through war, and after being defeated, they will be merged into the victorious tribe and become the lowest status people.

Just making a water tank is not a laborious job, so the people of the poor clan want to learn to do it themselves, and do not let those slaves interfere, but they also do not let the superior people work, and the inferior slaves watch from the sidelines, some of the poor people are a little indignant in their hearts, and they want to pick up the rattan weaving to beat them, Yao Chonghua saw that he couldn't bear it, so he asked them to go to the nearby mountains and forests to cut some big trees and come back, anyway, he could use it when making charcoal later.

Lang Yu said to Yao Chonghua, "Little Lord Chonghua, you don't have to be so polite to them, when their tribe came to invade us, it was called a man who didn't know the height of the sky, and was later defeated by our leader, and they deserved it." ”

There were people from the poor clan next to him, "Yes, we obviously didn't offend them before, they want to learn our archery skills, but this is our tribe's stunt, and they will never teach it, they are red-eyed, and often come to harass us, but they were defeated by the leader in less than half a year, and our leader's archery skills are the second in the world, and no one dares to call them the first." ”

Yao Chonghua was still puzzled: "But since they have already surrendered to the poor clan, and there are members of the poor clan over there, why do you still treat them like this?" ”

Lang replied nonchalantly: "They don't think they are a member of the poor clan, before the son of their tribal leader was still alive and was also subjugated by us, but then he launched this group of slaves to rebel together, and killed my father, they are all bad guys, those prime men of their tribe have all died in those wars, and the rest are women and children, our big leader left them behind out of morality, and he couldn't bear to hurt them, but I will not treat them well." ”

Yao Chonghua looked at the slaves just now, there were relatively old women, and young people in their twenties, it seemed that they had been captured for a long time, and since the prime of life had died, the time needed to grow from a child to a young man must be indispensable.

Yao Chonghua can imagine how tragic the fate of these slaves will be in the future, and they will enter China's slave society in a few decades and less than a hundred years, and they are the most basic appearance of the huge slave army.

Yao Chonghua thought about his current small strength, and he didn't know what he could do for them, although he couldn't bear it, but this was the trend of historical development.

In the midst of these discussions, the clay has slowly filled the water tank mold, and at this time, Wu Laosuo came over, "This is good, as long as the clay is dry, it will be a huge pottery." The original doubts about Yao Chonghua turned into appreciation, "You kid can, you can come up with a way to make wooden planks, it's Lao Su who underestimates you." ”

Wu Laosuo thought up and down around the water tank, this thing looked at Yao Chonghua and it was not difficult for them to do it, but none of them thought about it before, he was making the most of the simplest things, so that the originally small things bloomed with its most due value.

Yao Chonghua saw that Fang Hui had been watching the silence from afar, so he said hello and asked him to come over, now it belongs to Fang Hui and he is the same age, other people are older than them, although he has not said a word to Fang Hui, but getting along with Fang Hui is always more comfortable than getting along with others, maybe it is the harmless reason why children are smaller than adults?

Fang Hui didn't understand what Yao Chonghua asked him to do, but he felt that Yao Chunhua's ability was indeed not small, and he was not much older than him, but he was very serious when he spoke, and he was very serious about doing things, he was willing to deal with such people, and the last thing he wanted was to talk to people like Wu Laosuo.

Yao Chonghua replied: "This clay needs a lot of strength to compact, only the clay is compacted, the finished product will not easily collapse, I saw your competition yesterday, your strength is very great, since there is nothing to do now, it is better to take this to practice your hands, shoot it firmly, we can make a strong water tank for the poor family." ”

Fang Hui asked: "Will you be happy to be the leader of the water tank Dayi?" ”

"Of course, our whole tribe wants it." ”

Fang Hui didn't say a word, and slapped the mold of the large water tank that had been filled with clay vigorously.

This time he slapped hard, forming a sharp contrast with Fang Hui's thin image, Yao Chonghua felt that this person was really the legendary kind of strange force Zhengtai, looking weak, in fact, he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, very powerful.

When they made the water tank mold, someone suggested to make a few more water tanks, Yao Chonghua felt that it was feasible, since it had been successfully practiced before, the water tank could be made, so there was no need to do it one by one, anyway, the general kiln can burn three water tanks, but can not waste resources.

In order to make the water tank abrasives, they spent a whole day and made three, and the results were still good. Yao Chonghua's planner will start burning charcoal tomorrow, as well as renovating the kiln, these problems are not big, take your time.

Qin Buxuan, Dayi and Wu Zhu Jiuyun have been talking about the rule of law in the house all day, and they have not come out, although Yao Chonghua has participated in the formulation of the code before, but he has already been in Longshan when he woke up, he is not familiar with this world, and he can't make a more correct judgment according to the actual situation of this era, so he can only give some suggestions from it, and although he has shown some small pseudo-talents, which has been recognized by everyone, but the age is there, Gaotao can let him participate, but he can't let him make decisions, It's a real problem.

Therefore, Qin Buxu directly discussed with Dayi, even if Yao Chonghua did not come forward, Qin Buxu, a nobleman with a high status and ability, could have a comprehensive explanation with Dayi, if Dayi still had any questions, he would also solve them by himself, but it was really not possible, and then Yao Chonghua would come forward.

I don't know when Yao Chonghua became a hole card for Qin Buxuan to pass on the rule of law.

The wood cut back by the slaves is very large, because the people here live on the mountain, eat the food of the mountain, and will also protect the mountain, and the trees inside will not be too affected by the felling of people, so the trees that come back are much larger than Longshan.

Yao Chonghua surrounded these trees that were cut back, and felt a pity in his heart, if this was to cut down thousands of years of trees indiscriminately in the future generations, I don't know how many years he would be punished and imprisoned.

But when the slave saw Yao Chonghua shook his head, he chuckled in his heart, was this little master Chonghua dissatisfied with the trees they had cut down? Are they doing something wrong again? Will it be punished?

Several slaves were a little trembling, afraid that Yao Chonghua would be unhappy and punish them.

In fact, at this time, the punishment is not so diverse, that is, whipping, smashing with stones, or burying alive, but no matter which one, it is very cruel, and there will be a danger of death, they are not willing to try, even if it is beaten, if it is not properly handled, it will also die.

Yao Chonghua sighed that the treatment of slaves in the outer tribes was much worse than that of Longshan, and he remembered that when he was in Longshan, the slaves of some aristocratic families were still very arrogant, and the strength of the interpretation of beating dogs depended on the master.

Fortunately, after the rectification of Gaotao, the nobles of Longshan have not yet reached the point of lawlessness, and their attitude towards slaves is relatively friendly.

Yao Chonghua comforted their apprehensive hearts, "Don't be nervous, I don't mean to punish you, these trees are very big, it is completely enough to make charcoal, you have done a good job, that is, next time, you can make the trees smaller, it is not easy for these trees to grow so big, their root system is also very developed, it is good for maintaining water and soil and you, if you want to see the smaller ones." ”

Hearing Yao Chonghua say this, the slave breathed a sigh of relief, but another question sounded in Yao Chonghua's ears.

"What does a well-developed root system have to do with maintaining soil and water?" Wu Laosu asked.
