Chapter 137: The Great Catalpa Tree

It was Geng Yanshan, a talented man of the Ming Dynasty, who spread the remarks of the left and foreign races in the Tiemu camp. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Geng Xiucai saw that so many people in the Tiemu camp had become scholars, but he was still ignorant and understood that there were no scholars. He was anxious, and whenever a "scholar" came to the staff to do business, he would talk about what a scholar was and how the sage would evaluate the scholar. The "scholars" who came to do the work listened to Xiucai's remarks, and when they left the general staff, their chests were stretched high.

Seeing this, Yang Ritian relaxed his control of Geng Xiucai, the captive, or to be precise, didn't care at all.

Geng Xiucai behaved very dignified, he occasionally walked around the camp during the day, and at night he consciously and voluntarily returned to the prisoner camp without being urged, so the people of the Tiemu camp praised Geng Xiucai for his knowledge.

When Geng Xiucai heard that the nomads were going to join the Tiemu camp, he immediately spoke out against it. Sage Cloud: If you are not of my race, your heart will be different. Don't look at the nomads who are in trouble now, how they squeezed the people of the Central Plains when they entered the Central Plains, and one day they will continue to do it if they turn over! Ming Taizu worked hard to expel the Tartars and restore China, and the Tiemu camp could not invite the Tartars in again.

The people of the Tiemu Camp originally didn't care much about this matter, and simply thought that the more people there were, the more powerful they were, and the more Dingkou the Tiemu Camp had, the more strength they had. But as soon as the sage said this, many people changed their minds.

The fact that Morzgenbatel and his men had joined the Ironwood Camp was clear, but now it suddenly became confusing.

Sun Yi's personal inclination was to accept nomadic herders, and he believed that the future of Langshan River would inevitably be the development of both agriculture and animal husbandry.

The farming civilization of the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, including the Ming Dynasty, all occupied the Langshan River, but in the end they all withdrew without exception, and one of the important reasons was that the farming civilization was not good at managing the grassland. The farming culture of the Central Plains is actually excessive exploitation of the land, and when the pressing exceeds the carrying capacity of the land, it is the so-called "there is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are starving to death".

The scarce precipitation and fragile ecology of the grasslands determine that only a small part of the land can support agriculture, and most of the land can only support pastoralism. In other words, if the Ironwood Battalion did not accept nomads, a part of the Ironwood Battalion itself would become nomads.

But the twisted melon is not sweet, Sun Yi firmly believes that if he goes against the wishes of the people and pinches the two families together, it will inevitably leave a disaster in the future, and it is best to let the Ming Dynasty decide for themselves.

A vote on whether to admit the nomads was to be held in the old camp of the woods, and Sun Yi packed his luggage and returned with Stuffy and Kikige first.

Holding the baby's hand and strolling through the old camp again, Sun Yi was surprised to find that it had changed.

The shack area that used to be crammed together is gone. In the red willow forest, the courtyard of the homestead with irregular shape is divided, separated from each other by trees, and some courtyards are even located alone in the woods.

There were several families living in each courtyard, including the landlord of the woods and other people living in the temporary house, but each courtyard was clean.

The road connecting the courtyard is crooked, Sun Yi often walks and thinks there is no road, and when he turns the corner, it is a cluster of homesteads.

The layout of Changsheng Village is neatly aligned, and the planning of the woods is all natural.

As he walked, Sun Yi found himself in a distance that the big catalpa tree that he was "talking to" with Shennong's clan was actually full of flowers.

The so-called big catalpa tree, Sun Yi didn't know it, the Ming Dynasty people called it that, and Sun Yi followed suit. Sun Yi had the impression that he only knew locust trees, willow trees, pine trees, and cypress trees.

As he got closer, Sun saw that the flowers on the catalpa tree were actually red and white ribbons, one pressing one against the other, and the summer wind blew and swayed among the leaves.

The milk baby said that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the people in the woods thought that there was a plague ahead.

I don't know who was the first to hang a spirit flag on the catalpa tree to pray for the blessing of relatives, and the people in the woods hung flags on the big catalpa tree one after another to ask for the blessing of the gods, and the whole tree was hung all over the tree.

At noon, the news came back from the front, the plague turned into poisoning, the crisis turned into a victory, and the people gathered under the catalpa tree, thanking Shennong Ye for his manifestation and making a wish to Shennong Ye to repair the temple.

Xiucai, a newcomer to the General Staff Department, said that the place where the shrine owner is worshipped is not called a temple, but a society. In ancient times, the shrine was a pile of soil, a big stone, or a big tree. Shennongye's society also had to follow the way it was in ancient times, and the people enclosed the catalpa tree.

As soon as Sun Yi stepped forward, the big catalpa tree was indeed encircled with a low wooden stake, and the circle was filled with new soil a foot high.

Three feet south of the catalpa tree, the craftsmen of the old camp of the forest made a statue for Shennong.

The statue is a benevolent old man with a protruding head, holding a dragon's head cane in his hand. The material of the statue is known at first glance to be high-quality plaster.

If it weren't for the crutches in the old man's hand, Sun Yi would definitely say that this was a birthday star.

The milk baby said that at the beginning, the craftsmen carved Shennong's hand with a rake, but they were scolded by the iron director. Director Tie said that Shennong Ye is so old, and these unscrupulous descendants still let Shennong Ye farm! Shennongye is mainly a pensioner in Wolf Mountain, and by the way, he is the owner of Wolf Mountain. The craftsmen changed it to the way it is now, and in the future they will build a pavilion specifically for the statue.

There was a candle burning in the incense burner in front of the statue, and the milk baby stepped forward and respectfully took three sticks of incense and lit them, "Lord came back safely today." Yang Nai'e is grateful for Shennong's blessing. ”

Sun Yi shook his head fiercely for the ignorant superstition of the Ming Dynasty people from top to bottom.

The grass outside the large public toilet in the woods was growing, and Kikige and several orphans of the same grade were running over excitedly.

Sun Yi hurriedly got into the public toilet, first went to the big mao pit and went around, and then went to several small rooms one after another.

Everywhere he went, Sun Yi first looked to see if it was clean, and then to see if there were any free toilet chips.

The public toilets of later generations were just built and magnificent, and once they were put into use, they could not bear to witness. The toilets in high-end shopping malls and five-star hotels are constantly cleaned and the hygiene can be maintained, but no one dares to provide free toilet paper.

Sun Yi found that the big public toilet in the old camp of Shulinzi was cleaner than before.

The shrubs in the public toilets have grown tall and dense, cut into various shapes, and emit the smell of green leaves, which can block the view of toilet users, and can also transmit the small talk of toilet users.

The jar for the toilet chips was still full.

Sun Yi couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the big goal of building a public toilet with toilet paper that he established was really a trivial matter for the people of the Ming Dynasty?

Sun Yi stopped a common man and asked him directly if the toilet chips in the public toilet had ever been taken home.

The people were puzzled and asked, "Who would do such a thing!" If everyone knows about this, how will they be alive in the future? ”

Sun repeatedly stopped a citizen and asked directly if someone would secretly take the toilet chips home if no one saw them.

The people asked more simply: "Why does no one see it, how can Lord Shennong not see it?" ”
