Chapter 23 Slash-and-burn farming to enlighten the mountains and forests
This year from autumn to winter, Ji Kao took Du Yu and Liu Quan, followed by a giant turtle, and tossed and turned in the mountains and forests where the Yu Yu clan was located.
Everywhere they passed, they stirred up a great movement of the tribe. Thousands of ethnic groups, elated, called Ji Kao as a gentleman.
Ji Kao did not disappoint them, and after talking freely, he walked around the surrounding land, looking at the mountains and rivers, and choosing suitable places for farming.
The cultivated land is settled, and then all the tribes are tribesmen who go out, holding swords and fires, and rushing to the mountains and forests.
In ancient times in the Central Plains, the scene of the ancestors and slash-and-burn farming reappeared in the Shudi Yuyu clan.
They were extremely thin, but their faces were full of smiles, and they carried tools to reclaim the mountains and forests, drive out the beasts, and the water and dust were all their figures.
Young and old, men and women, even those with mutilated limbs and even those who were pregnant with Rokka, came to the land to help.
Although they can't do heavy work, they are all sincerely happy just to do the work on the side.
According to Jun Xiangji Kao and Jun Shang Du Yu, after a few months of hard work, they will be able to live on the fields in the future, eat grain, raise silkworms, and fish and hunt will be just idle work.
······
This kind of movement naturally alarmed the Baiguan clan who were upstream of the water and drove them here.
Soon, the king of the Bai Guan clan got the news.
"Gao Ming Zhenren, your eyes are shining with candles, and the cave is thousands of miles away, can you take a look, what is this Yuyu clan doing?"
He had just swept away all the tribes on the road to Tongba in Shu and merged them into the Bai Guan clan, and when he suddenly heard the news, he was quite surprised in his heart.
Gao Ming Zhenren looked at the Yu Shi clan, and quickly understood the situation, and said to King Bai Guan: "Your Majesty, this is the son of Ji Zhou who came from Yin Shang, after Hou Ji, he is helping the Yu Yu clan to open up mountains and reclaim wasteland, and it seems that he is also going to do farming. ”
"What a cowardice, the boy is arrogant, and dares to help my enemy. ”
Hearing this, King Bai Guan was immediately furious, the Yuyu clan, but he is now the enemy of the Shu land, but he didn't expect Ji Kao to throw himself into that tribe and help farming.
At the beginning, the dozen or so people who went to farm with Ji Kao came to return to their lives, saying that the way of farming had been accomplished, and he also asked Ji Kao, but he didn't want to be credited, so he drifted away.
At that time, Bai Guanjun thought that Ji Kao was like Xu You, a sage in the Central Plains, who just wanted to live in the mountains and forests and swim in the wilderness, and did not want to worry about the things of the world.
Unexpectedly, this person went directly to the Yuyu clan to help them farm.
However, King Bai Guan thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay, just let this Yuyu clan cultivate well, and when I am at war with the Ba people and lack of grain and grass, I can go to the other place to get it." ”
The Bai Guan clan has almost swept away the tribes in the land of Ba, and the next step is to go out of the Ba side and try the army.
The people of Baiguan are limited, and they have to fight and cultivate, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of both, and in the event of an accident, it is very likely that there will be a shortage of food.
The Yu clan is weak, and if they can grow grain well, it will be nothing more than a granary for them.
"However, that Ji Zhou boy can't let it go easily. King Bai Guan was stunned: "Gao Ming Zhenren, when this person is passed on to farming in the Yu Yan clan, I also ask the Tianmutai monk to take action and capture this man, I want to punish him in the Ming Dynasty." ”
Hearing King Baiguan's words, Gao Ming suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is difficult for me Tianmutai monk, even if this person is tied in front of us, we may not dare to make a move." ”
"What do you say?"
King Bai Guan's expression suddenly moved, and he hurriedly asked.
"This person is blessed by the god of Luoshui, unless the Ran Xujun of the Chongtai Balcony, as well as the son of the Heavenly Demon of the Shangling Terrace, or the generation of the dragon and phoenix, they are willing to take action, and other cultivators will avoid it. ”
It's not that there are no human cultivators who dare to make a move against this Luoshen, but they also need to be justified to do so. Otherwise, Qingdi Fuxi would naturally ignore it, but those goddesses who were good friends with Luo Shen back then were not decorations.
Clairvoyance is clever, and he suddenly thought that when he first saw Ji Kao and wanted to take his storage vessel, he flew from the sky, and a sword qi turned by Yunxia was probably the reason.
"Is the god of Luoshui blessed?"
King Baiguan's eyes sank, and his expression was extremely angry, these gods blessed him, and there was nothing to make him comfortable.
The Ran Xu on the balcony now has another Ji Kao, who is really not a son.
······
Ji Kao walked around the Yu Clan, and when he saw them so scrappy, he was refreshed, and his heart was extremely happy.
Then, without stopping, he went from tribe to tribe, instructing them how to cultivate the fields and how to fertilize them.
In each place, Ji Kao had to personally go down to the mountains and forests to the fields, and ploughed a field model for all the tribes to follow. When you return to visit, if you find something wrong, you have to do it yourself and help them rectify it.
For nearly half a year, he did not rest, day and night, running non-stop, and finally helped all the tribes prepare the fields before spring.
"Okay, the fields have been prepared, the cultivation has been passed on, and now it's time to go back to the land of the Yuyu clan and prepare to give birth to grain seeds. The grain seed is a big matter, and it cannot be handed over to the tribes for the time being, so as not to have accidents. Wait until I've cultivated it, and then let them pick it up before spring planting. ”
Ji Kao took Du Yu and Liu Quan, sat on the giant turtle, washed the dirt and dust on his body, and suddenly, when he saw his reflection in the water, he looked back at Du Yu and Liu Quan, and immediately laughed.
Du Yu and Liu Quan immediately looked at each other, not understanding how this father and adult could make them laugh so happily.
Ji Kao pointed at them and said: "At the beginning, the old turtle always called me a black boy, but now I look at the reflection in the water, and look at the two of you, it is really dark enough." ”
After months of mountain and forest reclamation, almost day and night, sun and rain, wind and snow unhindered, now the three of them can be said to be dark-skinned, ragged, how can there be any gentleman and witch demeanor.
In the summer, I am afraid that ordinary old peasants, hiding with winter, will look whiter than them.
Du Yu looked at himself, then at Ji Kao and Liu Quan, and suddenly bowed his hand: "Because of the matter of my Yu Yu clan, my father and the witch priest have suffered." ”
In the eyes, there is even a slight redness.
He knew very well that Ji Kao and Liu Quan were not the people of the Yu Clan, and there was no need to pay so much for the Yu Clan. They are willing to help the Yu Clan, and what the Yu Clan should do is not to let them run and suffer, but to provide for them, and then occasionally ask for advice.
However, the two of them, these days, have worked harder than any of the people of the Yuyu Clan.
They need their guidance to open up wasteland and reclaim land, mountain and forest spirits need them to kill, and even water diversion needs to rely on their strength. If it weren't for Ji Kao Liu Quan and the few cultivators of the Yu Yu clan who patrolled for several months, how could the mountains and forests be reclaimed so quickly and turned into acres.
Ji Kao waved his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of asking for benevolence, no need to say thank you." Liu Quan and I, if we want to establish the system of Zhuxia among the Yu clan, we naturally have to help the people of Shu first and live a better life. ”
Liu Quan also said with a smile: "That's right, Master Collector's History told me before that the system of the people's lack of food and clothing, food and clothing cannot be satisfied, and it cannot be the system of Zhuxia." Only when there is more food and clothing and seek etiquette and law is the system of Zhuxia. ”
When he looked at Ji Kao at this time, he was already completely reverent.
Before entering Shu, he only said that Ji Kao was a lucky boy who was favored by the first emperor Wuyi, although it was a collection of history, but it was not a big deal.
Later, on the order of the new emperor Wending, he sent a message to him, asking him to find a way to escape for his life.
Later, in the battle on the shore of the water, Luo Shen appeared from him, but he was amazed by Ji Kao's background.
But at this time, seeing Ji Kao's various actions, ploughing and living, although he is the father of Yu Junjun, he never takes his identity as precious, and when he is tired and even filthy in order to pass on farming, he is content, and he has been revered for several months, and his reverence in his heart is really overflowing.
"Father, when are you going to pass on the system of Zhuxia, and how are you going to pass it on?"
In the past few months, Ji Kao has already told him about the various systems of Zhuxia that are ready to be introduced into the Yu Yan clan, and he has also thought about it for a few months, feeling that these systems are beneficial and harmless, and he is also looking forward to when they will be passed on.
Ji Kao said: "The method of farming is easier said than done, and I will go to the tribes for a year to help them have a good harvest after the autumn." Liu Quan's words will help you build a city outline, build an ancestral temple in the land of the Yuzhu clan, and tell you about the Yin Shang witch system by the way. ”
"The law of witchcraft, you listen to it first, and you have to make your own choices. If you have any questions, you can always ask Ma Yu Zhenren and Gao Jue Zhenren for advice. ”
"Father, can't I ask you for advice?"
Ji Kao smiled faintly: "If you want to ask me, it's naturally okay, but I'll tell you in advance that I'm not on good terms with the witches of the world." If you really want to listen to me, you don't even need witchcraft. ”
"Of course, the Yu clan is weak, so you can't offend all the gods and witches, so as not to be in trouble, just make a choice. ”
Hearing Ji Kao's words, Du Yu was thoughtful, while Liu Quan next to him smiled bitterly.
This master of the history of the collection, in front of himself, the heir of the spiritual mountain, said that he was not on good terms with the witch way, is this really good?
He also understood that Ji Kao had thoughts about Wu Zhu because of Yin Shang's affairs, and he should have them. Even if he has the heart to resolve this disagreement, he can't do anything about it.
Liu Quan didn't know that the witch road that Ji Kao said was not harmonious, but it was the witch road of the world, and this kind of disharmony pointed to Lingshan and other places where witchcraft were spread, but also to heaven and earth, ghosts and gods.
In fact, the cause of disharmony had already been planted before he left Qishan.
On that day, the sky was full of earthquakes and wrath, and the wind and clouds changed, and thunder and lightning were combined;
On that day, the sword light was vast, sweeping the universe and shocking the four dimensions.
Although Ji Kao doesn't know the reason, he also has some vague speculations, which will be confirmed in the future.
