Chapter Two Hundred and Six: Savages on a Moonlit Night
After witnessing the annual battle at the foot of Gu'er Mountain, Shi can understand the change in power brought about by the large number of people. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but having also experienced the near-extinction of Dow ten years ago, he also understands the difficulties it takes to feed so many people.
But now, Zhang Shiping told him clearly. The appearance of a 'divine object' enough to feed three thousand people in front of him made him feel unreal.
Zhang Shiping did not tell Shi Taihao that the main way to feed 3,000 people now is not grain, but he has a clear example on earth, but he does not feel that there is any deception in his words.
Carefully untie the knot that binds the leather bag, and pour out a few seeds like a treasure. After the very ordinary grain seed fell into the palm of the stone, he couldn't help but have a suspicious look.
"Can this really feed three thousand people!"
With some hesitation, Shi asked cautiously.
"Of course, it is impossible to feed 3,000 people at once, it is the accumulation of several generations. However, with the 100 people of Dow, it is not difficult. ”
Zhang Shiping didn't take it all in, pointed to this bag of seeds, and said generally.
"Now at the end of autumn, you can find a meadow near the river and set fire to a place a hundred paces wide. When spring comes, bury the grain in the ground with a stone knife, and then remember to get rid of the weeds. ”
Zhang Shiping is not unaware of the truth of intensive farming, but the Tao people who have not yet understood the benefits of farming are bound to be unwilling to accept that kind of labor. And Zhang Shiping himself will not stick to Yinshan for a long time, and use his own authority to pressure the Tao clan to do it, so he has to tell them the easiest way first.
But even so, the people with the Tao clan couldn't understand what Zhang Shiping asked them to do. Fortunately, things were not too troublesome, and with the support of Shi and some warriors, no one objected.
Seeing this, Zhang Shiping nodded. Although it was not the most ideal result, it was still the desired goal. With this batch of seeds domesticated by Taihao's family for several generations, it is a good start to guide Youdao to farming. As for the next thing, let's wait for Taiyi to sleep and take it slowly.
"The most important thing I'm going to do when I come back this time is to bring this to you, and now that it's done, I'm ready to do something else. ”
Handing the leather bag containing the seeds to Shi, Zhang Shiping looked around and said calmly.
The people who were originally happy looked at each other when they heard this. But after a while, Shi took the initiative to speak:
"Witch worship, we have some of the Dow Clan now, it is entirely because of the protection of the Taiyi God and your guidance. With you by your side to teach, we will definitely be more prosperous with Dow, and I hope that you will not leave us for witch worship!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shiping is still a little proud in his heart, in the hearts of these people, he has an irreplaceable role. But that didn't make him hesitate, because he knew that this was not what he was after.
"I don't mean to leave you, but everyone has something to do, just like Shi You, as a sacrifice of the clan, you have to preside over the ritual, communicate with the gods, and pray for the blessings of the clan. To do this, you need to drive your people to build tall altars and painstakingly collect all kinds of precious sacrifices. And these are all very hard for the clansmen, even endangering their lives.
I don't think anyone likes this kind of work, it's like parting, but it's something we have to do for a better life. ”
Zhang Shiping looked at everyone calmly and said in a calm tone. Most people were puzzled when they heard this, but Shi and a few people had a feeling that their hearts lit up.
Zhang Shiping didn't know what philosophy these people understood in his words, he was just looking for a passable excuse for his departure. The reason why he said this is more because of the imprint brought to him by the industrial society during the time of the earth.
Seeing that everyone did not refute, Zhang Shiping nodded with a smile and said.
"It's not early, let's disperse first, I'll leave tomorrow, and if you have any thoughts tonight, you can go to the altar and talk to me." ”
After waving everyone away, Zhang Shiping went to the altar alone and sat silently to wait for the dawn.
Originally, Zhang Shiping's words were just the habit of politeness before parting, and he didn't think that anyone would dare to come alone at night to say something to him. However, there are many things in the world that are unexpected, after the moon rises in the sky, there is actually a figure stepping on the moonlight, lingering in front of the altar several times.
This movement had already alarmed Zhang Shiping on the altar, and with a hint of curiosity, Zhang Shiping summoned him.
"Who are you, come to me in the middle of the night, what do you want to say?"
Zhang Shiping didn't know the person in front of him, but he was sure that this person was indeed among the Taos. There are people as big as the Tao family, Zhang Shiping knows them, so it is obvious that the person in front of him is a savage who has been subdued.
The man opened his mouth several times, but only a few times and did not speak. In the end, in a hurry, he knelt down and kowtowed a few times.
"Bang-bang-"
Knock several times in a row, and enter the bone again and again. On the altar made of loess, a trace of bright red blood was rendered.
With a slight frown, Zhang Shiping flicked his left hand, and a green qi rolled up from the soles of his feet, 'propping' him up. After he stood up, the green qi spun several times, attached to his forehead, turned into a wisp of clear water, and slowly recovered the scars.
"If you have something to say, if you don't say it, it's useless for you to kowtow like this. ”
Shaking his head, Zhang Shiping said very simply.
I saw that the man took a deep breath, looked up at this Zhang Shiping, and said words that were not smooth but absolutely standard.
"I don't want to be like this, I'm better than those people, I'm going to be like them!"
Zhang Shiping saw the desire in this person's eyes, the desire for the future. Although he didn't have much contact, Zhang Shiping knew very well that he had the status of a Tao savage, and to put it bluntly, he was a slave. The Tao clan was able to feed and grow the clan with just over a dozen strong men, and it was entirely because of the contributions of these savages.
But now, among these 'slaves', there is a beginning to be dissatisfied with their status. In other words, there is going to be a 'rebellion'.
After thinking about it, Zhang Shiping understood that this was something that Tao had to face, but the person in front of him took a step first. He is not a nanny with Dow, so naturally he will not solve everything for them.
"Only the gods can decide whether you are qualified to have everything of your people, prove your abilities to the Tai One God, and he will give you what you deserve. ”
Joy poured out from the eyes of the savage in front of him like a spring, and he suddenly forgot his awe of Zhang Shiping, scratched his ears and cheeks, and couldn't help but be happy. (To be continued.) )
