027 Burning Mountain Tastes Herbs
Since Lieshan became the co-leader of the human race, he has been conscientious, doing everything himself, taking responsibility for himself, and promoting some of his previous practices in the Youjiang tribe, spreading the method of cultivating grains to various tribes. At this point, the grain began to be cultivated in the whole human tribe.
After humans learned to grow grains, the food crisis of the human race was solved, and there was a surplus of food, but many of the inedible grains were destroyed because they were not well preserved. Although in the past, the tribe also kept some uneaten prey, but most of the prey was difficult to raise and fierce, easy to hurt people, Lieshan selected pigs, cows, horses, sheep, dogs, chickens and other six kinds of animals that were docile and easy to raise in the whole human tribe, and the tribesmen collectively called them "six animals". Since then, the six animals have entered the era of poultry, and the surplus grain of the tribe can also be used to store the six animals without being destroyed due to poor preservation, and people do not need to hunt often because of meat, which greatly reduces unnecessary casualties.
Since then, people no longer lack food, and there is a surplus, some tribes or families sometimes have too much to eat, not only can not eat it themselves, but also the six animals can not be eaten and can not be stored for a long time, so they have no choice but to throw it away, and waste it. In response to this problem, Lieshan specially convened a conference to solicit the opinions of the ministers, and finally came up with a way, imitating his previous practice in the Jiang tribe, opening a market in each tribe, and building a whole street of large markets in Chendu, so that people have surplus items to exchange with each other in the market what they think is worthy and useful, not only greatly reducing waste, but also using it in useful places, and the various tribes have also begun to trade goods, which greatly strengthens the connection and exchange between tribes.
At that time, the human race still used the animal skin invented by Ziyi, and Lieshan found a plant called hemp in the search for grains, which can treat hemp as cloth and make clothes, but it is more comfortable to wear than animal skin, and it is easier to get than animal skin, so it will be promoted, and people have begun to use linen to make clothes, no longer need to wear animal skin, and gradually get out of ignorance.
At that time, most of the human tribes of the human race used their hands to bake food, if they were not careful, they would often be burned, and there was a lack of utensils for things, so Lieshan would have Jiang tribe to make all kinds of containers with soil, called pottery, and promoted it to the whole human race, since then people can use pottery to hold food, which is much more convenient.
At that time, although people already knew the spring, summer, autumn and winter, but it did not play a big role in farming, I did not know when to plant grain seeds, when was the harvest season, Lieshan then observed the change of the four seasons for several years, alternating between cold and warm, according to the Fuxi gossip calculation, the calendar day, the stars, the day and night, the sun and the moon, the month is 30 days, and November is the winter solstice. Since then, people have learned when to plant grains and when to harvest, so that the production of grains has greatly increased.
The advent of agriculture and animal husbandry not only solved the food problem of the human race, but also because people began to have surplus goods, so the primitive commodity trade began, and bazaars also appeared. After such a series of governance measures, the life of the human race has obviously been greatly improved, and the population has also increased rapidly, showing a more prosperous situation than in the Fuxi era. Moreover, the communication between various tribes has become more frequent, which has greatly accelerated the development of the human race.
Lieshan manages the tribe and has a very good way to govern the world, he said: "The husband is strong but does not plow, and there are those who suffer from his hunger in the world, and the woman who did not weave in the world has those who suffer from its cold." "He governs people with virtue, does not expect retribution, does not covet the wealth of the world, and the world is rich. Wisdom is more valuable than others, and the world respects it. He is virtuous and righteous, the people are diligent without reward, evil and righteous without punishment, rich without resentment, obedient to the people without orders, powerful but not killed, and the law is not annoying. There is no harm to the people, the criminal government is not used to rule, the first soldier is not the king is the king, it is all supported by the princes and ministers, and everyone loves the people!
Lieshan saw that the life of the people of the tribe was getting better day by day under his governance, and his heart was full of pride when he walked on the streets and alleys of Chendu, looking at the bustling and shouting people. At the same time, the various tribes of the human race also showed a scene of early prosperity.
However, at this time, Lieshan also encountered troubles, but Lieshan often heard that some old and weak people occasionally encountered headaches and fevers and still could not be cured, some people died like this, and even some middle-aged men and women could not work when such a situation occurred, so they could only lie on the ** and wait for improvement, and these phenomena are now more and more, and then there are more and more people who are injured by poison or poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, but the human race is helpless, and can only watch the clansmen die. It turned out that at that time, the human race did not know medicine, and they did not know how to treat every illness, so they often died. This problem has also plagued Lieshan for a long time, but there were too many things in the Earth Clan that needed to be dealt with before, and not too much energy was spent on this aspect, and this problem was not effectively solved. And now that most of the important things of the human race have been solved, we should also find a way to solve this problem.
The suffering of the clansmen, Lieshan saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. How to cure the diseases of his people? Lieshan pondered for three days and three nights, and finally came up with a solution. It turns out that Lieshan has a relatively good understanding of plants because of the search for grains, and knows that some plants can cure diseases, but there are many more plants that are poisonous, and it is impossible to see whether they are poisonous or non-toxic. So Lieshan vowed to go all over the world, taste all the herbs, and let people know what they could and could not eat, what was harmful, what was beneficial, and what could cure what diseases, and so on. Lieshan decided to record these for people's reference.
Lieshan then summoned the ministers and told everyone that they were going to taste the herbs, and the ministers were shocked when they heard this, and they were all shocked, and they crawled on the ground and cried bitterly and persuaded them: "No, the co-master, your contribution to the human race is so great, the human race can't repay it even if you pour out the water of the nine heavens, your safety is related to the fate of the human race, how can you still risk your life to taste the hundred herbs." โ
After hearing this, Lieshan laughed and said, "How can my safety be compared to the safety of hundreds of millions of people." Now that my people are facing the threat of illness, how can I, as the co-leader of the Terrans, not solve it?"
Everyone persuaded hard, but Lieshan still refused one by one.
The next day, Lieshan took a group of subjects and left Chendu under the bitter weepings of countless subjects in Chendu and walked towards the mountain. They kept walking, their legs were swollen, their feet were calloused, and they kept walking, and they walked for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and they came to one place. I saw that the mountains were one peak after another, the canyons were one after another, the mountains were full of strange flowers and plants, and the fragrance was smelled from afar. They were walking forward in the Burning Mountain, when suddenly a group of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards burst out of the canyon and surrounded them. Blazing Mountain immediately sent his subjects to fight hard and slay at the beasts. They beat away a group, and then they came up again, and they fought for seven days and seven nights before they drove all the beasts away.
At this time, the subjects said that this place was too sinister and persuaded Lieshan to go back. Lieshan shook his head and said, "I can't go back! The people of Li are sick and have no medical treatment, how can I go back!" he said, leading the way into the canyon and coming to the foot of a vast mountain.
This mountain is half cut into the clouds, and on all sides is a knife-cut cliff, and there is a waterfall hanging on the cliff, and there is moss, and the water is slippery, and it seems that there is no ladder to the sky. The subjects advised him to forget it again, and to go back as soon as possible.
Lieshan shook his head: "I can't go back! The people of Li are sick and have no medical treatment, and they are still suffering, how can we go back!" He stood on a small stone mountain, facing the high mountain, looking up, looking down, looking left, right, making up his mind and thinking of a way. Later, people called the small mountain where he stood "Wangnong Pavilion".
Then he saw several golden monkeys, crawling along the ancient vines hanging high and the rotten trees lying on the cliffside. Lieshan had an idea, and there it was. He called his subjects at the moment, and told them to cut down wooden poles, cut rattans, and build a frame against the cliff, and build a layer a day, from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, no matter whether it was windy, rainy, snowy, or frozen, and never stopped working. It took a whole year and 360 floors to reach the top of the mountain. Legend has it that the scaffolding used by people to build buildings later was the method of learning from Lieshan.
Lieshan took his subjects and climbed the wooden frame to the top of the mountain. I saw that the mountain was really a world of flowers and plants, red, green, white, yellow, all kinds of sรจ, dense bushes. Lieshan liked it very much, he told his subjects to guard against wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and he personally picked flowers and plants and put them in his mouth to taste. In order to try herbs and find medicine here, Lieshan asked his subjects to plant a few rows of fir trees on the mountain, which were used as a city wall to defend against wild beasts, and built thatched huts to live in the walls. Later, people called the place where Lieshan lived "Mucheng".
During the day, he led his subjects to the mountains to taste the herbs, and at night, he asked his subjects to build a bonfire, and he wrote down them in detail by the light of the fire: which grasses were bitter, which were hot, which were cold, which were sufficient for hunger, and which were for healing.
Later, after decades of debate, Lieshan finally tasted almost all the plants and trees, and recorded them one by one, at this time it has been 7749 years since Lieshan left Chendu, so Lieshan returned to Chendu to organize and edit and disseminate work.
Since Lieshan returned to Chendu, he began to sort out his cognition of the herbs he had tasted over the years, and began to revise the first medical work of the Honghuang.
