At this point, Jian Chen can only thank for his consecutive victories, and he can exchange for the support of more than ten cities led by Sucheng, and yesterday's words are undoubtedly worth it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is also related to the geographical location of Xia Cheng, if the distance between Xia Cheng and Su Cheng is very close, this kind of support is absolutely impossible, because although Xia Cheng's population is not large, it is temporarily in a leading position in terms of technology, which is also a strength that must be considered in the game.

In addition, there are several clans at the confluence of the Grass River and the Great River, each with its own system, and its strength is still quite strong, so it is not very popular for Su Yue to become the leader, and this contradiction is temporarily suppressed, but it will break out one day.

Xia Cheng seems to be used as a knife, but having the qualifications to be used by others is also an affirmation of himself in a sense, so Jian Chen is quite content. How big a bowl is, how much food to eat, a little-known clan wants to become the leader of dozens of cities, foolish dreams.

Chen Jian raised the wine bottle and saluted: "To be able to make Xia Cheng and his relatives worship their ancestors again, even the jade of a mountain cannot be compared, and Xia Ming remembered the words of the leader of Su Yue." ”

"Ji Xia is polite, since more than ten surnames in Xia Cheng also moved from Dahe, of course they are qualified to join the alliance, and they have made meritorious contributions in the northwest, I am just thinking about the entire Dahe family. You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank you, you have to thank the ancestors of heaven and earth. ”

Su Yue took a drink and said leisurely: "A few days ago, Ji Xia was giving a lecture in the Xue Palace, although I didn't listen to it because of the things I was dealing with in the city, but many people in Su City were full of praise for Ji Xia. I heard Su He talk about Xia Cheng before, and I always had some hesitation in my heart, saying that a doll less than twenty years old, how can I know so much? Now it seems that there are really people in the world who are favored by their ancestors and know everything when they are born. ”

"The leader of Suyue laughed."

Su Yue shook his head and said, "It's just Ji Xia, in my opinion, you are still a little young." These words, let's not talk about it as the leaders of the two cities, only as the patriarch ** talk, although between the relatives, the leaders are brothers, but I am older after all, some things are not the ancestors can explain to you clearly, are you willing to listen? ”

Jian Chen hurriedly nodded and said, "Please advise." ”

"Ji Xia talks about how to plow the field, planting, yarn, calendar, and number shape in the school palace, these are all excellent, but there are some things that you shouldn't talk about."

"For example, how to fight wars, how to manage slaves, how to manage the distribution of population, if you talk about these things, people think that they can work hard and do not want to work, how can the city be managed? To lead an army to go on an expedition, you only need one leader, but you need thousands of soldiers, everyone wants to be the leader, how can you fight? ”

"I didn't say these words alone, but many leaders talked to me about it...... It's not that you're saying something wrong, but they all think you're young and don't say something. A city, dozens of laborers, thousands of laborers, some things, as long as they are circulated among the laborers, it is not good to talk to those who should be laboring. ”

"When a flock of sheep has only one head, they can graze leisurely without confusion; If any sheep wants to be the first sheep, how can it resist the attack of the wolves? ”

Jian Chen pretended to be frightened and asked, "Are those leaders angry?" Or is Xia too stupid...... Later, I will ask the leader of Sudake to take me to apologize to them......"

Su Yue laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Sit quietly, it's not necessary, it's just that you are still young and don't understand some things." Although Ji Xia already has a woman, I guess Ji Xia doesn't have an heir, right? ”

"Not at all."

"yes, there are some things that you can't understand without children. For example, if you lead a leader to fight, you only need one person to understand, and you can lead the city to defeat the enemy. In that case, why didn't Ji Xia choose to let your heirs know and let others know? ”

"This is no harm to the city, and if your son learns from you, he can lead the city to victory over the enemy; Second, birds are born with wings, fish are born with fins, and those who work hard are like birds, and their sons must have wings. Even if you teach a school of fish to fly, will they be able to fly? ”

"These things that Ji Xia said, those leaders are against it, there is no one here, I will make it clear to you, they also have children. This is like a bricklayer's stone knife and a carpenter's ruler, which cannot be easily revealed. You're young, and you don't have any children, and everyone doesn't care, just let me tell you, you don't have to take it to heart, you understand? ”

Jian Chen pondered for a moment before slowly nodding and said, "I understand, I'm still too young and not thoughtful enough, thank you leaders for your reminder." ”

Su Yue saw that Jian Chen accepted it happily, so he smiled and said: "That's fine, it's okay in the first place, many leaders are your uncles according to their age, and Xia Cheng has just come out of the cave to establish a city, and everyone doesn't blame you." You give the people the art of flying with two wings, and those people, whether they have wings or not, think that they can fly, and the world will collapse. You Xia Cheng people say that it is difficult to make a circle without rules. It is not easy for those who work hard, and those who work hard are not easy for eternity, this is the biggest rule......"

"These things, I didn't need to teach you, but when you have a child, you will naturally understand."

Jian Chen hurriedly smiled: "I still have to thank the leader of Su Yue." I wanted to go west, but I went east, and if there was no one to guide me, I would not know to turn back until I saw the sea. Someone pointed out, but thirty or fifty miles can go back, how can this be the same? ”

The two laughed for a while, and then Jian Chen asked again, "The leader of Suyue must have many heirs, right?" ”

"I'm much better than you at that. When I was your age, I had six children and four of them. After that, many more were born, and now there are more than 20 sons and more than 10 daughters. ”

Chen Jian praised again: "As wise as the leader of Su Yue, presumably his children must be different, extremely intelligent, and brave. ”

Su Yue shook his head and smiled: "Where can everyone be like this? Although it's all my blood, there are also smart ones who are dull, and the smartest one is not much older than you think, but it's still far inferior to Ji Xia. To put it mildly, after I heard about Xia Cheng, I sighed to myself that I should give birth to a son like Ji Xia. ”

"It is a pity that although he was wise, he did not experience the hardships of his ancestors who built Sucheng barefoot in the thorns; Although he was brave, he did not experience the sharpness of fighting in the front of thousands of troops. Hey, I know it, but how can I bear to let him go through everything I've been through? For example, hunting animals and birds today, drinking and feasting on the royal maiden...... Although the city asked him to do a few things well, it was still far worse than those old people back then. ”

Although there seemed to be some blame in the tone, the pride and love in it came out as soon as he heard it, and Jian Chen hurriedly received: "Hey, there was no well in Xia City, and I had to go to the river hundreds of steps away to drink water." We've all been there, but when my child is born, shouldn't he be allowed to go to the river to fetch water from the well? This is exactly the purpose of Su Yue's blue wisps, isn't the suffering and thorns experienced by our generation just to let the children not experience it? ”

"Besides, drinking for pleasure is not a bad thing; The royal maiden is also to increase the blood of the heirs; Holding Huang Qingcang is nothing more than the fact that the war has subsided, and it is difficult to vent the courage in his heart. ”

"The leader of Suyue also said that there is no such thing as destroying the city, and the people in the city must be very convinced, so what's wrong with this?"

Su Yue smiled and said, "Ji Xia, you praise too much. ”

Jian Chen bowed and said, "These praises are not because of him, but out of gratitude to the leader of Su Yue." If it weren't for the recommendation of the leader of Su Yue, I am afraid that Xia Cheng would not know when he would be able to return to his relatives. The gratitude that the father deserves must naturally be turned into praise for his son. ”

"This morning, the leader of Suyue sent a lot of gifts, but unfortunately there is no jade in Xia Cheng, even if there is jade, it can't be carved and polished on the jade that is harder than gold and copper, there is nothing to use as a gift, and I can only give back some small bronze utensils, I must hand it over to the head of Suyue in person, so as to be able to repay my feelings with Xia Cheng."

Su Yue got up and saluted back, "What Ji Xia said is modest. Although there is no jade in Xia City, there are many good things in Xia City, and many of them are unseen in other cities. The bronze ware of Xia Cheng is excellent, I heard Su He say that Xia Cheng used copper as a flower when he sacrificed, and looked at the Dahe relatives, but I am afraid that no second clan has this ability. ”

The two were polite, Chen Jian walked out, and quietly made a gesture of six to the Xia Cheng people who were waiting outside, and the Xia Cheng people immediately lifted the big boxes, but Su Yue looked at the remaining boxes and was slightly distracted, not knowing who the remaining boxes were going to give to.

Xia Cheng's box was very beautiful and delicate, but it didn't attract Su Yue's mind, he recalled Chen Jian's whereabouts these days, and was a little unsure if Chen Jian still had any connection with the rest of the clans.

It wasn't until the box was lifted in and the light shining after the lid was opened made the room seem to be much brighter, that Su Yue looked at the utensils in the box in surprise.

The vessels in the first box looked to be bronze, but the color of these bronzes was not purple, but yellow-orange-orange, extremely bright, and not as dull and mottled as bronze, and somewhat dazzling in the candlelight.

The utensils in the second box were bright gray-white, and Su Yue was not prepared to describe this kind of ware with a "bright metallic luster", but it was beautiful anyway, it was a color that Su Yue had never seen before, and when you looked at the carefully polished utensils that could reflect the light, it was natural to feel that they were precious.

The first box is a brass alloy vessel, which uses a kind of Chen Jian's previous life that transcends time and space, that is, faucets, copper screws and other metals, copper-zinc alloy.

The second box, is lead tin wine vessels and tableware, which is not very well handled, some places have been oxidized, but some places are still very bright, and the color of heavy metal lead is still very strange in this era.

The smelting of brass has no technical difficulties for Xia Cheng, and most of the ores also form associated ores with copper, lead, tin, etc.

The reason why metallic zinc appeared late in the previous life was not that it was difficult to reduce, but because metallic zinc would gasify and evaporate at six or seven hundred degrees, so it was difficult to obtain it in copper smelting furnaces.

Chen Jian used the ingenious method of his ancestors in his previous life, heating and reducing zinc ore and charcoal in a clay pot sealed with only small pores, instead of using a copper furnace, the reduced zinc evaporated and condensed, and remained in the clay pot, and the zinc could be obtained by smashing the sealed clay pot.

The color of the zinc-copper alloy is bright and does not rust easily, it is not the purple color of pure copper nor the black color of bronze, but it is similar to golden yellow, which looks beautiful and is also rightfully valuable in this era.

Aside from a few medals left behind to make for Summer City in the future, most of the rest were brought as gifts.

As for the other box of lead vessels, it was much easier, and the melting of lead was much simpler than that of copper.

Chen Jian sincerely pointed to the box of utensils that had been used for a long time enough to cause lead poisoning and said, "Others give me peach and plum, and I need to hold Qiongyu." ”

"The leader of Suyue asked the people of Xia Cheng to return to their relatives, these utensils could not be repaid, but this is the best gift that Xia Cheng can come up with, these utensils are produced in Xia Cheng, but no one in Xia Cheng can afford to use them, and please accept them."

"As for the other box, please use it as a sacrificial ritual vessel, bright and rust-free, the ancestors will like it, and this is the only one in Xia City."

Su Yue liked it, and nodded again and again: "The craftsmen of Xia City are really good, and I have never seen these things many years ago when the clan was at its peak!" Pretty! Beautiful! All I received from these gifts was this box as a ritual vessel...... Not quite suitable. ”

Chen Jianqi said: "What, isn't it because these are not good? ”

"It's not bad, it's too good to be used. Ji Xia has never seen a real sacrifice, right? ”

"I've never seen it."

"Worshipping the ancestors of the gods is only in the mind, not the utensils themselves, this has always been the rule, and it is normal for you not to know. Delicious wine should be reserved for the living, and water should be used for those who are dedicated to the gods, as long as the gods and ancestors know their minds; The beautiful utensils shall be reserved for the living, and those who are offered to the ancestors can only be used by the living......"

Chen Jian listened to it in a daze for a long time, and seemed to understand the strangeness, but Su Yue was still explaining, his expression was serious, revealing a very mysterious taste. (To be continued.) )
