The donkey walked slowly and leisurely.

They walked through Yuzhou and saw that the granary was overflowing; They walked through Yangzhou and saw the bustling market; They finally walked to Yuzhou and saw that the sky net was restored.

When the donkey, which was slowly moving, approached the border of Yuzhou, they had already completed half of the Xia Dynasty.

"If you go further, it won't be the Xia Dynasty."

Shang grabbed the donkey.

Further on, there is Daqing.

A country that no longer deserves to be compared to the Xia Dynasty.

He wasn't interested in going over and taking a look.

In this life, it is not easy for people to be deeply imprinted with their names in a country, and they should not be greedy for more.

"Daqing"

Looking at the mountains and mountains ahead, Gu Dan's eyes showed a little remembrance.

He had been to Daqing at least twice.

Once when the Tai Hospital was in the war, he followed Xu Zhian to treat the wounded.

Another time was after the source river burst.

Thinking about it at this time, it feels a little far away.

"Speaking of which, haven't you ever wanted to go out?"

Gu Dan asked with some curiosity.

Whether it was the Mo giant Bird Lisheng or the Confucian leader Xun Ke, they eventually left the Xia Dynasty, and they wanted to convey their morality to the Quartet.

As a Legalist leader who is now as famous as the Mohists and Confucians in the Xia Dynasty, Shang has never shown this attitude from beginning to end.

Although this is indeed the reason why Shang's own hard power cannot be compared with the two great grandmasters, especially Shou Yuan, the ambition in the man's heart does not have to be affected by this kind of thing.

"Nope."

Who would have thought that Shang quite shook his head dryly and said: "Legalism is different from Mohism and Confucianism, and it is inevitable to cultivate one place, otherwise the harm will outweigh the benefits." There is no way to just leave like Xun Shi and them, just leave the concept and morality. ”

Mohists and Confucianism are like people with torches, holding torches high in the air, giving people hope and telling others to follow.

That Legalist is the oil stain in the torch, which will make the flame more and more powerful and fierce, but it is not the one who lifts the torch after all.

As the leader of the Legalists, Shang knows this better than anyone else, and he is more sober.

"In today's world, Confucianism is not ink."

Shang said: "It's good to be so natural, but only mentioning the glow of human nature, but avoiding the ugliness of human nature, is not the way of the road after all."

My talent and ethics are not as good as Master Xun, and naturally they are not as good as Mozi. But people like me can do things that they can't do.

Whoever holds a plough will forge a sword. ”

He created an extraordinarily sharp sword for the Xia Dynasty.

Hurt yourself first to get rid of stubborn diseases.

The two were clearly chatting, and if they were not careful, they inevitably turned to business.

Shang is a person who has the world in his chest, but he only pretends to be the world.

Gu Dan felt that this was not good.

But the other party's longevity is approaching, and after a lifetime like this, there is really no need to change.

"I really met someone from the Mo family now, maybe it should be someone from the Mo family."

Gu Dan's eyes were sharp, and with a casual sweep, he could see that there was an ink man who obviously did not belong to the Xia Dynasty, but was dressed in short brown cloth and walked towards this side.

The man's skin was darker, deeper than the dull yellow of the scorching sun, as if he had been born with it.

Although he was wearing a short brown cloth, he could see at a glance just by looking at his face that he was definitely not from the Xia Dynasty, or even from the surrounding countries.

In addition to this, the man's waist was bound with a piece of fur, which was dotted with scattered teeth of some kind of large beast.

In his hand, he carried a sharp wooden spear with bright red blood stains, dark and bloody.

Even below his neck, there was a fang, about the thickness of an ordinary person's thumb, and if it weren't for the short brown cloth coat, it would really make people think that he was a wild man.

"Hello, do you need help?"

The man manipulated a distinctly rusty Xia Dynasty accent and greeted Gu Dan and Shang.

To be honest, with his appearance, wearing clothes that look very similar to those of ink, it is really difficult for people to feel a trace of closeness.

The Mo family's ability to stay in the Xia Dynasty for a long time, making people feel close to and reliable, disappeared when used on him.

As expected, this guy is still "smuggling", and the current Xia Dynasty is not coming as soon as he wants, but needs the approval of the government.

It's just that now the Xia Dynasty has also lost manpower, and it is unlikely that it will be comprehensive, but with the shape of this guy, if you go a little deeper into Yuzhou, you will inevitably be interrogated by the people of the government, and even reported by the people, and you will be sent to the lightest, and you will be taken down directly.

But as the so-called artist is bold, not to mention that the other party at least seems to be a person, even if he is not like a person, he has nothing to fear.

Seeing that the man stepped forward, Gu Dan asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"I'm the Ink Writer."

The man was carrying a bloody wooden spear, and although his accent seemed to be a little deliberately catering to the Xia Dynasty, he looked very proud, and said: "I came here from the barbarian to see the Xia Dynasty in the mouth of the giant and help those in need along the way." ”

"Oh?"

Gu Dan was a little interested.

Giant.

It's not just a casual name.

"Tell me about it."

Gu Dan said curiously, "How did you become an ink master?" ”

"The giant came to our homeland and taught us the truth of being a human being"

The man was not as fierce as he looked, but when he spoke, he couldn't stop dancing, and even the bloody wooden spear on his hand was dancing, which was really not a good habit.

But his statement is not very difficult to understand.

Many years ago, the Mo family's giant Yu Lisheng rushed to them.

But they don't say it's the Xia Dynasty, I'm afraid it's far from Da Yue, and they don't even have a court in the real sense, but exist in a tribal way.

Poultry Lisheng collectively called them "barbarians".

It means rough and ferocious, unreasonable.

But since the ink master is here, he naturally can't sit idly by.

In his words, it was: "The giant simply killed the tribal leader who was about to marry the thirty-fifth wife, and then slaughtered the sacrifice that asked for six childhood virgins to be sacrificed to the river god, and told them the truth of being a human being with the glow of the Mo family." ”

The barbarians worship the strong and believe in the strong.

Although Yu Lisheng did not stay there for long, an action, a sermon, for these barbarians, is tantamount to opening a skylight.

He was one of the few daring members of the tribe and, in his own words, a "brave forerunner."

He started when he was young, followed the footsteps of the Mo people, and walked for nearly fifty years before finally coming to the Xia Dynasty, the birthplace of the Mo family.

I want to see a bigger world beyond the world of brutes.

"I see."

Gu Dan nodded lightly, "We don't need help, thank you for your explanation." ”

"You're welcome. Don't go any further there, there is a fight over there, and a lot of people are dead. ”

He pointed in the direction of Daqing, and then walked away on his own, aiming for the location of the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty.

He's really going to check it out.

Although he looks a little incompatible, the person in front of him really has no bad intentions.

It wasn't until after he left that Shang said helplessly: "Every year, Mo and Confucian scholars come to the Xia Dynasty from an unknown country. The point is that it is almost impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake, after all, it is impossible to send someone to see the real thing. ”

"How does the Xia Dynasty deal with this kind of thing?"

Gu Dan asked.

"It's not good to drive people directly, and the people who can come over have some skills. It is more serious, and even represents the image and majesty of the Xia Dynasty outside. ”

Shang said: "Therefore, if the Mo people come, let the Mo people be responsible, and when the Confucian students come, let the Confucian people receive them." If you don't break the law and discipline, then treat it as an ordinary person first. If there is a violation of law and discipline, and there is a intention to do it, the crime will be increased by two degrees. If you do it unintentionally, you will be guilty of one more. ”

The idea of quotient is simple.

In the Xia Dynasty, the people of the Xia Dynasty are the masters.

Don't say that you are an admirer of Confucianism and the Mo family, and you want to enjoy preferential treatment when you come here, even if you admire the holy king Wang Mang, the Legalists will not get used to you when you should be punished.

The so-called Heavenly Empire naturally requires barbarians to understand what etiquette and rules are.

Those who don't understand must know why the Celestial Empire is the Celestial Empire.

A strong state does not have to curry favor with outsiders.

Maintaining the dignity and honor of the country is by no means giving preferential treatment to others—unless the other party is really talented, it is not impossible to give some cheap and close benefits.

But if you want to be above your own country, you will be done if you think that your family is not tidy.

Mojia and Confucianism are the faces of the Xia Dynasty when they go out, while Legalism is the inside.

Indispensable.

"It seems that Yu Lisheng and Xun Ke are doing very well, and you are also very good."

Gu Dan bowed slightly, quite agreeing.

The Xia Dynasty was able to spread far and wide, and even affect the rest of the country, and the strength of the country is needless to say, but this strength can only deter the surrounding countries.

What can really make the Xia Dynasty imprinted in the distance, and even make people yearn for it, must be its more superior place.

In this way, there will be people who work tirelessly, over the mountains and mountains, and through one country after another, just to witness the prosperity and prosperity of the Xia Dynasty.

A glimpse of the whole picture shows that the country that was in turmoil at the beginning has really taken root on the earth, thrived, and even like a leafy tree, just the shade and projection can shelter one side and affect the other.

To be able to do this is to live up to the blood and efforts of our predecessors.

That's legacy.

"After walking for half the Xia Dynasty, is there any place you want to go?"

Gu Dan asked.

Shang rarely seemed a little tangled.

That's really rare.

Gu Dan didn't urge, just waited there quietly.

After a long time, Shang said slowly: "There is indeed a place. I want to check it out. ”

"Let's go, then."

Gu Dan said quite simply.

"It's really troublesome Mr. Gu."

"What are you talking about?"

A small mountain village.

It would be more accurate to say that it is a small mountain village that has been completely dilapidated.

Even in Yuzhou, it is an absolutely remote place.

The so-called poor countryside is a compliment here, there is no trace of artificial carving here, and even the roads are full of branches and weeds.

There are no more people here, and even the houses of the past have collapsed.

Along the way, trekking through mountains and rivers, the donkey was carried by Gu many times - only then did he know what Shang meant by 'trouble Mr. Gu'.

As it turned out, the Xia Dynasty also had inaccessible places.

Looking at this abandoned small village, the houses that have been shaken down by the earthquake are entangled with vines, but it is very natural to look at.

Shang seemed to be very silent, he looked at the abandoned houses one by one in silence, and the weak soles of his feet stepped on the hard ground, walking and stopping.

Gu Dan followed behind him and didn't make a sound to disturb.

This place is probably the place where Shang was taken captive by the teeth of the people.

By no means a good memory.

It also brought a deep and thick shadow to his childhood.

This shadow gradually converged into the prototype of Legalism, and then taught by Xun Ke, and finally became today's Legalism.

Gu Dan didn't speak, but Shang took the initiative to speak, saying, "The people here were moved away by the people of the government. Life in the deep mountains and old forests, the so-called paradise, is just an unattainable dream after all.

The more primitive the ecology and environment, the closer people will be to the animals, and even the difference will not be noticed. ”

Shang spoke in a very calm tone.

Only in front of Mr. Gu can he have some desire to express.

If anyone could really understand what he had done, it would undoubtedly be the one who watched the Great Moon collapse and erected the Xia Dynasty on the ruins of the Great Moon.

"That's why some people need to come forward. That's why Yu Lisheng and Xun Ke have to travel around the world and talk about morality.

The Xia Dynasty is very large, but if you really look at the world, the Xia Dynasty seems very small. ”

Gu Dan said: "When you go abroad, gender, appearance, blood, family background. These external things can be much the same, or even completely different. However, those who agree with the concept of the Xia Dynasty and adhere to the concept of the Xia Dynasty can be called the people of the Xia Dynasty and the true people of the same way. ”

"You're right."

Shang nodded, looking down the mountain.

At this time, the sky is getting late, the morning glow is dyeing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the lush trees are swaying under the breeze, like countless lit flames, swallowing the tongue of fire.

A little spark came up from the sky, and I scattered here among the world.

When the afterglow of the setting sun fades, the bright moonlight takes over.

The mountains are drowsy, and the moon is in the middle of the day.

Tonight's moonlight is not intense, but rather a little cold.

The cold air in the mountains at night is very thick, but it is rare for Shang not to look cold.

He sat on a piece of bluestone and looked at the way down the mountain in a daze.

Even with the moonlight sprinkling it, the path still seemed even dull and dark, surrounded by countless small branches and vines, and I really don't know how they walked through the bumpy road.

"Mr. Gu?"

In the long silence, Shang suddenly spoke, and his cold eyebrows and eyes softened and were no longer sharp.

"Huh?"

"Xia Dynasty. Will it always exist? ”

"How long?"

Shang stopped talking.

He's a little greedy.

When I saw the flames, I wanted to light a raging fire.

Feeling the coldness of the night, I wanted to make the flames hotter.

Those who have seen the light will always have a hard time bearing the darkness.

Looking farther down the mountain, fertile fields, mountains and rivers are all in it.

Looking at the sky again, the eternal bright moon is still accompanying the creatures on the earth, generation after generation.

When a gust of wind blows through the heavens and the earth, leaves flutter down from the trees, never to return.

Another spring and autumn, another reincarnation.

Where are the people who come to look at the moon, the scenery is vaguely like last year. (End of chapter)
