Chapter XII

By the time a few people had transplanted all the flowers, five days had passed, and the newly transplanted plants were still a little wilted, and many of the buds that were about to bloom may have been curled up because of the change of land, and the flowers had not yet begun to really take root here, Yao Chonghua fished water from the pond and carefully watered them.

On this day, Lao Bi came over and asked Yao Chonghua to go to the Bi kiln to see, "In the past few days, we have made a few models of water tanks, and some clay pots, which are charcoal, and we have also made a bunch of them according to the method you did last time, and today I am going to burn some small clay pots to try, last time Chonghua Xiaotong said that small clay pots can be burned for four hours, so I specially came to you to take a look, after all, you have experience." ”

When a few people heard this, they didn't shirk it, and the remaining thatch on the roof of the pavilion in the courtyard was covered by Kong Ding and Mu Rong.

When they arrived at the Bi kiln, Wu Zhu was already there, just wait for them to be together, and began to invite the kiln god, and then began to burn the kiln, in fact, this time there is not much for them, after the last time they saw the magic, the disciples of the Bi kiln are eager to try, it seems that there is no need for Yao Chonghua, Shen Di, Yu Lei A few children to do it, they sit on the steps, and look at the temperature of the fire from time to time.

After Wu Zhu finished the rituals, he came over and sat down on the steps together and asked Yao Chonghua: "I heard that the reason why the water tank can be made is because the kiln god told you the method?" Excuse me, is this really the case? ”

Yao Chonghua frowned, although this Wuzhu is young, but anyone who can become a Wuzhu will have more talents and insights than ordinary people, and even in terms of intelligence, they will be higher than the ignorant and uncivilized people.

Yao Chonghua wanted to say no to the wizard, but this was different from what he said in front of the people before, and it was clear that he was slapping himself in the face, so he nodded stubbornly, he regretted it a little, and sure enough, he told a lie, and he needed to use a hundred other lies to complete the lie.

"Can you tell me what the kiln god told you?" Wu Zhu slowly spoke, looking at Yao Chonghua with some expectation in his eyes.

This stumped Yao Chonghua, and he didn't know how God spoke, probably just ...... "He didn't tell me much, but when I saw wood, I had a flash of inspiration, and I thought that I could use wood to make charcoal, and when I saw the kiln, I understood that there was a need to make an opening behind the kiln." ”

Wu Zhu wondered, is it so simple that the gods tell him? "That's it? I've been serving the gods for so many years, and the gods have never spoken to me, and I've been wondering if I'm not religious enough. ”

"What, sometimes miracles are not necessarily the gods clearly showing their true body, but when you encounter any difficulties, let you have a flash of inspiration and solve problems for you, that may also be the guidance of the gods to you, the gods are everywhere, you usually think more, travel more, and even look at the bamboo slips more, all of which are beneficial, good gods will feel sorry for the people, blindly bow to them and waste time serving the people, they also don't like it." Isn't it, read more, think more, have a little more experience, and no matter how difficult the problem is, you will eventually think of a solution, but if you think that you can solve everything as long as you kneel down and worship God every day, how can it be?

"Okay, thank you." After getting Yao Chonghua's guidance, Wu Zhu left with a contemplative step, no wonder he sat on the Dharma, but the water tank couldn't burn, Yao Chonghua was negligent, but he was blessed by the gods.

Wu Zhu left the disciples of the Bi kiln, except for the nine kilns, they enthusiastically asked Yao Chonghua for some tips on making water tanks, if today's small clay pots are burned, tomorrow they will directly continue to burn three water tanks, their experience in water tanks is far less than that of making clay pots, ask clearly, in order to ensure that tomorrow is foolproof.

Here, Kong Ding and Mu Rong were fiddling with the thatch, ready to weave it and take it to the top of the pavilion to cover it, and Gao Tao came in with a few nobles.

Gao Tao walked in the front and said to the nobles: "My lords, the rectification of this flood has now reached a certain stage, and we can finally relax a little." ”

Everyone smiled and nodded, "Yes, recently, but the big leader has been tired." ”

The minister Bo Min noticed Gao Tao's expression: "Great chief, the effect of this flood control is very good, greatly reducing the casualties and losses of Dongyi, why do you look so sad?" ”

Gao Tao sighed, "The problem of the flood has been solved, but I have also discovered some new problems. ”

Qin Buxuan is a clear-eyed person, because he is relatively young, so Gao Tao often takes him to do things in order to train him more, he has learned a lot from it, and he probably understands what Gao Tao is thinking, "What the big leader said is that under the benevolent government, the people are still unable to get rid of the nature of wolves, tigers and beasts?" It seems that benevolent government alone cannot truly influence and educate the people. ”

Gao Tao nodded, sighed again, and then said: "Yes, we have been implementing the method of benevolence and virtue for another three years, but the effect is very small, and sometimes it is even counterproductive. ”

Several people present were silent, it is true, when they were carrying out their work in peacetime, many tribal leaders agreed with their approach, and some of them agreed in person, but behind their backs, they only thought about turning the gap and taking the opportunity to get benefits from the big chief, and even deliberately mobilized the people to harass other tribes, so that other tribes suffered greatly, and the leaders of other tribes reported to Gaotao, Gaotao thought of benevolence again, and treated them lightly, This also made the tribal leaders who had supported his benevolent government also began to become unsupportive.

Bo Min was also worried: "This is indeed not a way, big chief, we have to find a way to solve it as soon as possible to stabilize Dongyi." ”

"Did the Great Leader think of any way?"

Gao Tao nodded, "There is a way, but it wasn't what I thought of, it was my righteous son Yao Chonghua who reminded me." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately had some gossip, after all, Yao Chonghua is now the most hotly discussed figure in the market.

"Oh? Great Chief, we all know that the clever and peerless boy lives in your home, but I didn't expect to be your adopted son now, congratulations. ”

"Congratulations to the big leader, I didn't think so much about saving the little master of Chonghua at the beginning, but he didn't have a long time in Longshan, but he did several big things."

"The little master of Chonghua is a rare talent, some people say that he is a saint, in fact, he also believes in the bottom, the method of boiling, beating the powerful on the street, proposing to mold the water tank, transforming the kiln and charcoal, everyone who knows is incredible."

"You said a little less." Gao Tao said: "He was also disrespectful and opened the kiln without inviting the gods, which caused the anger of the people to sacrifice him to the kiln, and I only saw from this conflict that we thought we were educating the good people, but in fact it was still unsatisfactory." ”

Qin Buxuan was at the scene at the time, he had a deep understanding of this, and said indignantly: "Dongyi has abolished the sacrifice of living people for decades, but who would have thought that their impulse almost caused this bad habit to kill people to germinate again. ”

This incident also made Gao Tao afraid when he thought about it, if he arrived later, maybe Yao Chonghua would have been beheaded and died by now, "What you don't know is that the reason why Chonghua fell into the flood was not because he didn't run through the flood, but because he was used by the clan to worship the river god." ”

The ministers were surprised when they heard this, Dongyi still had such a cruel thing happening, it was really inhumane, or was he treated like this by his clansmen, how sinister it must be?!

Bo Min said: "Big leader, what method did the little lord propose?" We need to hurry to prevent this from happening again. ”

"He is right to say benevolent government, but at the same time, it also needs the rule of law. ”

"The rule of law? What is the rule of law? ”

"It is to formulate a code law to restrain the behavior of the people, and now everyone has found me, the big leader, to be able to speak publicly, but with the code, when the time comes, we will set up a law enforcement minister under the Ming Hall, and the people have grievances, they can appeal to the law enforcement minister, and the law enforcement minister will follow the code, if the people break the law, we can punish them according to the requirements of the code."

When the ministers heard this, they thought it was reasonable, but they didn't dare to make a conclusion now, and if they punished the people to make them rebel, they had to go back and think about it carefully.

Gao Tao was interested in changing the status quo, he felt that the rule of law was feasible, so he hinted at these ministers: "Look at the plants transplanted by my children, where to put what plants, what color, how much range, they have been designed by my children, and when these flowers bloom, they will look good and scattered." You also go back and think about whether the code is possible, and if you think it's okay, we'll start working on the code. ”

The minister nodded yes, they saw that although this courtyard was divided into irregular small pieces, a closer look found that there were certain rules in it, and even if there were no flowers now, but the scenery alone was pleasing to the eye, and it seemed that there would be good results if the rules were formulated to restrain everyone, and they would definitely think about the pros and cons of this matter after they returned.

And the small clay pot in the Bi kiln has been fired for most of the day, and now it's time to get out of the kiln, Wu Zhu is also back, this time Wu Zhu walked in, his expression was much more relaxed than in the morning, "I listened to your words just now, and went out to taste while walking, so I walked to the river, a few little girls were scooping water with jars to wash clothes, the clay pots were too heavy, and they washed a lot of clothes, I wanted to help them fetch water, but I couldn't help all of them alone, so I sank down and thought about what you said, I want to think more, at this moment, I saw a few gourds next to me that were too dry to eat and were discarded, and I also had a flash of inspiration, and smashed a small half of the gourd with a stone, and I was able to scoop up water, which was much lighter than a jar, and I really thanked Chonghua Little Sage for his tips. ”

Wu Zhu over there excitedly talked about his deeds, and here Yao Chonghua knew that the original use of the gourd scoop has only been discovered now, could it be that they only knew that the gourd could be eaten before?

The ceremony of coming out of the kiln began, and Yao Chonghua, who was kneeling around, was already numb, and knelt without a little burden in his heart.

And the clay pot just burned out made everyone even more surprised, the success rate of their previous clay pot was only thirty percent, and this time the time is so short, the success rate can reach seventy percent, and the texture of the clay pot is tighter, better looking, the excited people ran Yao Chonghua high into the sky, this person is really their lucky star, will bring them good luck.

Jiu Yi looked in from the door of the Bi kiln, looking at their excitement of success in pottery from a distance, the master said that he was not right, and he was unwilling to teach him again, so that he was not allowed to enter the Bi kiln again, and the big leader was to let all the kiln factories in Longshan not accept him, and he couldn't stay in Longshan, he was going to travel far, but he didn't know where to go.
