Chapter 56: The Direction of Farming

Next, Fei Cai asked Biluo about the origin of her abilities.

He soon discovered that the witch girl named Biluo was quite intelligent, and her answers to questions were fluent, logical, and to the point.

If you put it in the modern society, with this mind and appearance, you can properly become a white-collar elite and the backbone of a foreign company in the future.

But think about it, too, this girl is a witch, and the witch is not so easy to be.

Not only does she have to manage a village of dozens of people by herself, but the key is that she has summed up a natural law of gravity on her own without receiving any natural science education (although not quite right), even in modern society, how many people can do this?

After listening to the other party's answer, Fei Cai also had a general understanding of several issues he cared about.

First of all, Biluo's way of obtaining this ability is almost exactly the same as Fei Cai's conjecture, and even more dramatic.

When Biluo was thirteen or fourteen years old, she happened to see a meteor falling from the sky and falling on the other side of the mountain, and the huge sound of the meteor falling alarmed many people.

From that day on, Biluo often couldn't help but wonder why such a large stone fell from the sky, and at the same time, she began to pay attention to some phenomena that others are accustomed to: why does the water flow from high to low, why does the fruit fall from the tree to the ground?

After putting all the phenomena together, she finally came up with an explanation: the land under our feet is inhabited by gods that are thought to be gods, that is, the spirits of the earth. All these phenomena are caused by the power of the earth spirits......

Thinking of this, Biluo was very excited, so she tried to ask the Earth Spirit for strength, and after a year of perseverance, she actually succeeded!

According to Bira, only women who have successfully communicated with a certain deity are eligible to become shrine maidens. Moreover, between the ages of twelve and eighteen, it is easiest to obtain the response of the gods, once you are over the age of eighteen and have not been able to get the response of the gods, the chances are very small, and if you are over twenty years old, it is almost impossible to become a shrine maiden again.

"Can you become a witch, it actually has something to do with age?" Fei Cai heard it at first glance, and couldn't help but be a little strange, how did this condition sound like the setting in the anime, such as "Only girls under the age of sixteen can become magical girls......

But after thinking about it carefully, he immediately understood the reason: the age of 12 to 18 is the age stage when a person forms three views, and at this time, they are the easiest to discover and believe in a certain natural law; once this stage has passed, people's thinking begins to solidify, and it is naturally difficult to make a breakthrough.

Regarding the age limit, Fei Cai found an explanation in this way, but there was another limitation, which made him a little confused.

That's gender. According to Biluo, only women have ever succeeded in communicating with the gods and gaining powers, and as for men, although it is uncertain whether anyone can communicate with the gods, at least none of them have ever gained the power of the gods.

That's why there is the title of "witch", not a wizard, a sorcerer or something.

"Haven't you ever had it before?" Fei Cai asked reluctantly.

Bi Luo pointed her finger at her pointed chin, thought seriously for a while, and finally said, "I once heard an elder say that in the past a long time ago, there seemed to be men who could use the power of the gods. ”

Fei Cai couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, this kind of uncertain information, even if he knew, he couldn't deduce anything, so he had to ask again: "You called me 'Da Wu' before, what is Da Wu? Can Da Wu be a man?"

Who knew that Biluo shook his head lightly: "In the legend of the Wu clan, the Great Witch is a messenger sent by the Witch God, but in fact, everyone has never seen it. But Lord Fei Cai's witch power is so strong, it must be the legendary witch, may I ask you...... Have you ever seen a witch god?"

Fei Cai smiled when he heard this, and wanted to deny it, but when he was about to speak, a new idea suddenly popped up in his heart, so he paused and changed his words: "I'll tell you this later." ”

"Yes!"

A look of joy flashed across the shrine girl's face. Fei Cai said this, which is equivalent to admitting that she is a "big witch", the legendary character is now in front of her, and she only feels her heart pounding.

Next, Fei Cai asked about the situation of Biluozhai and the entire Wu clan, which was simple to say, and basically the same as the information that Xiao Sheng passed on to him.

The first is the organizational structure.

Generally speaking, there is only one witch in a small village similar to Biluo Village, but those large villages with thousands of people often have several, or even a dozen, witches.

The status is second only to the shrine maiden, and it is an elder. The role of the elder is actually similar to the "administrative ability trainer" before the shrine maiden takes up her post, after all, the shrine maiden must not only have special abilities, but also be able to manage the entire village, and be able to guide the villagers to engage in various activities such as sacrifice, production, and military affairs. Elders are the ones who pass on this knowledge.

Basically, as long as there is a shrine maiden, an elder, and some popularity and prestige, a group of people can be pulled out to build a village! In fact, this is similar to setting up a company in modern society, with technical personnel, management personnel, and funds, and the company will be established when they are put together.

The second is the level of science and technology.

The vast majority of villages, including Biluo Village, can be said to be still in the Bronze Age, and there is generally a coppersmith in the village to help the villagers make bronze farm tools.

But to talk about ironmaking? I'm sorry, but I don't have the technology yet.

But this is not to say that there are no iron tools in the stockade. Biluozhai can use grain and fur to exchange iron tools with the big village that knows how to make iron, and can also obtain iron tools from Xuanguo through the smuggling channels on the border.

Finally, production and the economy.

The main source of food in Biluozhai is rice grown on terraced fields, in addition to some domestic animals in captivity, as well as prey obtained from hunting and fishing.

If you unfortunately encounter a major drought or flood, it is basically the end of the game. Of course, after the game, it is the village, and the villagers will not wait for death in the same place, but will basically scatter birds and beasts and take refuge in the big village to make a living...... This sounds similar to what happens today when small companies go bankrupt.

After Fei Cai listened, he fell into deep thought. He didn't speak, and Biluo naturally didn't say anything, she stayed quietly on the sidelines, waiting for the instructions of the Great Witch.

The situation in Biluozhai is the same as in all farming novels, it is basically a tattered mess, but like many farming novels, there are always one or two golden fingers in this mess.

The first golden finger is the shrine maiden, the shrine maiden has a variety of abilities, which is already quite powerful in itself, plus Fei Cai found a way to improve the shrine maiden's ability, which will be a very huge advantage for future farming.

The second golden finger is his even exchange system, 100 even exchange charms, up to 50,000 points, and the "overseas shopping" agreement with the main god, which is equivalent to having a huge modern society behind it, as long as it is used well, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of farming.

Now that the basic conditions are in place, the next key question is, what will this field look like?

If we follow the general farming novel, it is nothing more than this: developing technology, promoting production, improving people's livelihood, arming the army, and dominating the world. To put it bluntly, it is to use modern civilized society as a template and build a similar country according to the gourd and scoop.

In this process, it is natural that there will be a few "fixed programs," such as the study of gunpowder, the smelting of iron and steel, the construction of new water conservancy roads, housing and bridges, the study of steam engines, the study of muskets and artillery, and so on......

To say that Fei Cai has read so many online novels, if he farms according to this routine, it is easy and graspable, and it can almost be said to be the best choice.

However, there was a big problem with this! It was precisely because of this question that he hesitated.

That is, it's boring!

Fei Cai originally lived in a modern society, and after reading countless farming novels that built a modern society, wouldn't it be too boring to repeat it again? !

It's like a person who eats instant noodles every day, and the advertisements he sees on the TV every day are also instant noodles, and he finally goes out and finds a mysterious small restaurant, but the boss brings it to him - it's still instant noodles!

So, why not play something fresh and build a society that is very different from modern society?

For example - a theocratic society?

In fact, as early as when Biluo asked him if he was the messenger of the witch god, Fei Cai already had this idea.

Imagine such a theocratic society:

The theocracy of this society is supremacy, highly centralized, and classified, the lowest level is the commoners who do not have any magical power, the middle layer is the witch who holds the magic power, and the top layer is the spokesperson of the witch god, Fei Cai.

But this society is not backward, but all scientific principles are religious doctrines, and the deeper the understanding of the doctrines, the closer the distance between the people and the gods, the greater their own strength, and the higher their social status. And the creator of the doctrine is naturally Fei Cai, the messenger of God.

This society also has a variety of modern facilities, but the form and style are completely different from today's society. Perhaps the airplane is in the shape of a mythical bird, driven by the witch force that controls gravity, or perhaps the high-rise buildings are no longer rigid straight lines, but are built in a magnificent and complex religious style to express their reverence for the witch god, or perhaps people no longer rely on cars to get around, but rely on some kind of magic power to move quickly......

Isn't such a society evil, interesting, tempting, and worth fighting for?

Thinking of this, Fei Cai couldn't help but smile evilly.
