"Whether it is to be a nail or not, that's not something we can guess. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As for whether Jia will be exchanged for grain, cattle and sheep, or left for our own use, Ji Xia will definitely convene a national council, and will discuss it with everyone, which is no less important than starting a war with the enemy. ”

The third brother laughed and said: "Changing or selling, in fact, it doesn't change anything." In addition to our Xia Kingdom, are there any other cities that can smelt iron? Even if they could, even if they knew how to make it, where would there be so many people who didn't have to farm to make iron? ”

"That's just as well."

Unconsciously, these people who are not the first batch of Xia people already have some sense of superiority, even if this sense of superiority is suppressed under the statement of kinship, but it will always be inadvertently revealed.

After a few more words, there was a shout in the distance.

"Why! Why! Ji Xia called you. ”

The two younger brothers glanced at the elder brother quite strangely, and the second brother of the Li family smiled and said: "This is the word that Mr. gave me, because I always like to ask why, so Mr. gave me such a word." Mr. said that it is better than calling Li Er. ”

"That's right. Why is it not a cat or a dog, why is it a thing that cannot be seen or touched, this thing is always better than what can be seen and touched. ”

In the praise of his younger brothers, Li He looked at the royal guard who was shouting in the distance, did not answer the words of his younger brothers, and frowned: "It should be an accident, I will go over immediately." ”

stood up, thought about it, expressed his emotions in the simplest way, patted his two younger brothers on the shoulders and said, "Fourth, don't be lazy when cutting wheat; Third, study hard when striking iron. ”

Unable to think of a better goodbye, he took out a few copper coins from his bosom and handed them to his brother, turned around and left.

After turning the river, Li couldn't help but ask the guard, "What's wrong?" ”

"The people sent by Ji Xia to those tribes in the south have returned, bringing back a lot of seeds, and some news. It seems to be very important, not only you, but also some people from the Sixth Ministry, Lang Generals, and the Planning and Statistics Department have been summoned. ”

"What would be so important?"

Although Li likes to ask why, he only asks when he can't figure it out, so this question is not a question of why it was convened, but what kind of big event will be held after it is convened.

He knew about getting seeds from those tribes in the south, and he knew that Ji Xia had said that white things that could be woven like flowers could be woven into cloth, and he knew that Ji Xia was happy for a while after asking whether those things grew on trees or grass.

But if it's just like this, there is no need to gather the six departments and the people in the army at all.

Now that the Department of Planning and Statistics has been gradually split, except for some things that are under the direct jurisdiction of the king, the rest have been thrown into the six ministries to serve as some petty officials, and the king is busy with military training, workshops, and iron-striking affairs, and has delegated power to some things that can be handled on weekdays as much as possible.

How could Li know that it was like his fourth brother going to help cut wheat, but the king ordered permission, and the rest was completely handed over to the household department to let them assign which farm to go to and how many people, as well as drinking water and eating while working.

It can be seen that if it is just a matter of promoting a certain seed, it will definitely not gather the high-level of the entire Xia Kingdom or the high-level of the future to discuss it.

By the time he arrived at the center of Yucheng, many people had already gathered.

There were already four or five people in front of the newly-built, wide masonry government hall, also looking worried, and the guards guarding the door checked and let them in.

As soon as Li He entered, he heard a dark-faced clansman talking to Ji Xia there. He knew this person, who went to the academy earlier than he did, and was the first to follow Ji Song to travel to the Great River Tribes.

I could see how hard it was to go this way, the man was tanned, his clothes were dirty, and he was obviously called here to ask about something just after he came back.

Because as soon as I came in, I heard this person say a few words that Li He couldn't understand.

"The year before last, the leader of that clan punished a clan in the name of privately passing through the heavens, blinded the clan leader's eyes and cut off his ears, and reduced his relatives to slaves, and everyone in the clan became slaves. A year later, many clans surrendered, offered sacrificial vessels, and vowed not to go to heaven and earth without permission. ”

Li He listened in a daze, looked up at Ji Xia who was frowning and thinking, but did not ask.

Jian Chen waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down first, and asked the man to say no more.

In the early morning, a ship came back from the opposite side of Onozawa, bringing back a group of people sent by Chen Jian in the name of communicating with each other, but in fact to detect the news and bring back the seeds.

The matter of the seeds went well, but after listening to some of the southern ethnic groups mentioned by these people, Jian Chen was a little nervous.

Nowadays, the range of activities of the ethnic group is only more than 1,000 miles, and the things that are more than 1,000 miles away cannot be fully known, and even the world is only a hundred miles away for the vast majority of people.

But judging from the current situation, if the tribe of the Great River tribe that wants to integrate itself into become the only civilization and leader in this region in the future, it will have to collect information thousands of miles away.

The ethnic group thousands of miles south of the Great River is not to say that it has surpassed the Xia Kingdom in terms of technological development, in fact, the overall technical level is the average level of the Great River before the appearance of Xia City, and copper and stone are used together.

But the words of those who came back aroused Jian Chen's alarm.

The world is constantly changing, and when your own race moves forward, the rest of your race moves forward.

Jian Chen heard a translated word with a general meaning, which proved that the ethnic group in the south was about to take shape.

A very simple word, Jedi Skypass.

It sounds like a mysterious word, but for the group to the south, it's a big deal that affects the whole community.

Jedi Tiantong, to put it bluntly, is to cut off the right of private individuals or a certain clan to communicate with heaven and earth in their own way, and to collect the divine power into the possession of one remaining person, and at the same time to rely on the divine right and legal principles to unify all the tribes into a cultural group.

To put it simply, this is a "religious" reform of the southern ethnic group, which is no less than the creation of copper and settlement, because it is based on the establishment of a system of ethnic power in the south.

Under primitive religion, the gods are equal, and there is no saying that anyone is higher than the other, because the gods are imaginary things based on human society, and there is no complete divine system without a complete human society. Just like the previous dispute between the land god and the god of war between the steppe tribes, it was nothing more than a struggle for divine power between the two ways of life.

In the beginning, the clan leaders or priests had some calendars, agricultural hours, and so on, and they were the ones who could communicate with heaven and earth.

As the times progressed, even clans of the same blood began to migrate due to the pressure of life, and those who mastered the method of sacrifice became new clan leaders or priests, and then deified their ancestors in their own way, developing many different god lines.

After the combined use of copper and stone, people began to settle, but the harsh natural environment and primitive and backward planting methods were prone to disasters, so people began to sacrifice themselves.

Over time, this kind of sacrifice became frequent, and a large amount of sacrifice waste began to appear, and many people no longer concentrated on production, but became single-minded people who were busy communicating with heaven and earth.

Unlike the Great River Tribes, when the Huasu League was established a few decades ago, the sages and sages of the Great River tribe gave a way to fool the gods, turning the sacrificial supplies into simple and crude things under the pretext of "life and death are different from what they eat", which will not affect the development of the tribe.

Originally, this way of reclaiming theocracy would gradually appear after the establishment of the Huasu Alliance, but the most prestigious leader of the Huasu Alliance, LinkedIn, who could unite this ethnic group into the rudiments of a country, died young, and the clan was divided, but left behind a habit of rational sacrifice.

But the southern tribes may have taken a different path, a path of irrational sacrifice. Chen Jian heard some people who came back to say some things he had seen and heard in the south, the previous sacrifices were extremely frequent, there were too many clergy, and many people claimed to have the ability to communicate with heaven and earth - in fact, it was similar to what Chen Jian did, claiming that everyone could communicate with their ancestors, but Chen Jian enriched the system, secretly replaced some concepts with simple practical theories, and monopolized the right to interpret with the knowledge of his previous life, striving for the good as long as he got rid of ignorance before he died, but if he accumulated technology at a normal rate of development, this would be death.

For the group to the south, two possibilities will arise over time: either the gods will stand side by side, and each city clan will have its own gods to worship, and thus there will be a tendency to separate; Either that, irrational sacrifices are in vogue.

Everyone has the right and ability to communicate with heaven and earth, which means that everyone has the right to interpret their own behavior, which means that the rights of the leader lack theocratic law, and it means that there is no possibility of a unified cultural circle and ethnic group, let alone a centralized leader.

According to the Huiren, ten years ago, many people in the southern tribe were tired of the many people who could communicate with heaven and earth, because even the calendar was not uniform, and they also supported a large number of priests, using various means to worship heaven and earth and communicate with heaven and earth.

In other words, heaven, earth, and man are not separated, heaven and earth can control the affairs of the world, all human actions are the guidance of heaven and earth, there is no point in living, and man is only a vassal of heaven and earth.

It was under these circumstances that the people of the southern ethnic groups launched the religious reform under the primitive religion after they were twenty years behind the Huasu League and more than ten years behind the Dongyi tribes.

The leader of the largest clan alliance, after sacrificing heaven and earth, announced one thing, a great event of great importance to the southern tribes!

-- After he sacrificed to heaven and earth, heaven and earth ordered the gods to split the distance between heaven and earth, and from then on, heaven, earth, and man were in charge of their own affairs, and people could no longer communicate with heaven and earth at will.

The human right is independent of heaven and earth, and becomes the true head of man.

After the distance between heaven and earth expanded, several mountains were left as mountains of great desolation that connected heaven and earth, and these were in the hands of the leaders of the tribes.

In other words, anyone other than a chief or a priest appointed by the chief is false and does not have the qualifications.

In theocracy, it unifies theocracy and grasps God's right of interpretation in the name of calendar, agricultural time, and science and technology.

In terms of secular rights, heaven and earth are separated, man is equal to heaven and earth, and the leaders of the world are equal to the gods of heaven and earth, not that the gods of heaven and earth are superior to human kings.

From then on, the king could brag that he had talked and laughed with a certain god in the sky, and even traveled by car - if the southern tribe had a car. It is no longer the previous lower level that can only ask for instructions, meet and worship.
