Passing through the mountains and rivers to the North Sea, the stomach is full of hot intestines and wild open; the stubborn stones and decayed grass are enthusiastic, and the high chariots are singing poetry.

In the next period of time, King Ding Ling visited the poor and asked about the suffering, mourning and lonely, and there was no time to stop, Sikong Wenzheng and others were close to his left and right, and several people really felt the so-called barbarian land, the living conditions of the people outside the country, which can be said to be shocking and eye-opening.

The tribes and people of all ethnic groups are still drinking blood. There are only four or five months when there is no snow here, and during these four or five months, the snow cover at both ends has to be removed, and there are only a handful of days when they can enjoy the sun. They mainly live by fishing and hunting, and here is bordered by the North Sea, with dense lakes and marshes, many fish, and undulating hills, birds and beasts. Everyone trekked through mountains and rivers, and sometimes it was rare to see a single figure after walking for a day. If anyone walks and falls behind, it is likely that they will never find the person in front of them again. Therefore, King Ding Ling led everyone to pay attention to whether anyone was lost at any time. They saw a man put his dogskin hat into the water, Ding Lingwang smiled and said, "Lazy deer tail, how many fish have you caught today?" Lazy deer tail rolled his strange eyes, sleepily pulled up his turban, and there were two fish more than a foot long in the hat!

They turned a hillside, and a man lay down in the grass and slept, and King Ding Ling told the group to stand quietly and not disturb him. After waiting for a long time, the man woke up to a small deer lying next to him, and he lazily reached out and grabbed the fawn. King Ding Ling smiled: "Deer hind legs, this is enough for you to eat for a few days." A few Han Chinese teachers were stunned and shouted that it was magical! The life of the people here is so easy that they can't complain that no one wants to make meritorious contributions. They had never seen anyone go to King Ding Ling. What to do.

The crowd was amazed. I feel like I'm in heaven. In front of a tabernacle, surrounded by a group of people, there was a faint cry from inside, and as they approached, the cry was so painful that it was unbearable to listen to and very sad. The onlookers saw Ding Lingwang and his entourage, and quickly got out of the way. There was a small man lying on the ground, wet, and several adults kneeling beside him, and their cries were made. King Ding Ling knew that it was a child who fell into the water and drowned! Sadly, when the family saw the king, they stopped their grief, and said in a sobbing voice, it turned out that their nine-year-old child was riding a horse. Today is his birthday, and his family gave him a horse. He rode his newfound horse. Running around happily, a water swing in front of him accidentally fell into it, crushing the child, and the horse quickly escaped, but the child was unfortunately killed.

When everyone heard this, their hearts were uncomfortable, these days, they kept going between the various lakes and bays, and they were dizzy, and they did not see how many rivers and lakes there were. asked the Hu Du Wei beside Ding Ling Wang, and the Hu Du Wei said, "I don't know." Situ Nuoying thought it was incredible, since you are called Hu Du Wei, you shouldn't be a foolish Du Wei, how can you not know how many lakes and rivers you have in Ding Ling? Hu Du Wei said angrily: "How can you know! These rivers and lakes are there this year, and they may be gone next year! Who knows how many? Who is patient to count them one by one?"

King Ding Ling smiled, "It's no wonder he's not." For example, this year, when there were more rainstorms, rivers and lakes grew, but in the previous two years, when there was less rain, there were not so many lakes and rivers. Besides, let him count, he can't count them at all! There are hundreds of lakes and rivers here, who can count them?" Situ Noying shook his head, they were afraid that they might not know how to count except for their own fingers and toes.

Sure enough, they came to a shepherd, who was beating his slaves, and this shepherd had several tabernacles and large herds of livestock. The reason he fought slaves was because he thought he had fewer livestock. The owner was a man in his thirties, with a round face, shrewd little eyes, and a fleshy nose. The slave was a young man in his twenties, lean, with a sly glint in his eyes. King Ding Ling sat on the horse's skin and asked the two of them to speak their own reasoning. The shepherd was angry and said, "My horse has ten fingers and nine toes." My cow, my toes, plus my wife's toes. My sheep, my fingers and toes plus my wife's fingers and toes plus my children, the toes of the older children plus the fingers of the second child and the fingers of the second child and the fingers of my three fingers. He grazes, and now it's only my horses, my cows, only my toes, not enough for my wife's toes, two toes short! The toes of the second child were missing, only enough for the fingers and three fingers of mine. Everyone finally understood, and King Ding Ling took off his boots and kept fiddling with his fingers and toes, and he also understood. Several of his lieutenants were staring at each other, not understanding what was wrong.

King Ding Ling asked the slave to speak, and the slave said, "His horse is enough." His cows, enough. His sheep, enough. His toes, his fingers are not enough!" the slave was clearly cheating, he knew that there was no way to measure it, only toes, fingers, and these things were not always complete.

Everyone looked at King Ding Ling, King Ding Ling smiled slightly, and said, "There are four people in your family, and I found four people here." Count the toes and fingers of the four men and see how. The four warriors came out and took off their boots, and the slave's face changed dramatically, and he fell to the ground, kowtowing incessantly for mercy. It turned out that the master had recently exchanged two horses for a slave, and he had grazed for his master every day, and he thought that his master could not remember so many animals, so he ate the sheep, and the ox was given to an outside man, in exchange for a copper knife, and hid it in the grass outside. At first, the master really didn't notice his hands and feet, and he thought that the treacherous plan had succeeded. Unexpectedly, on this day, the master came back from outside and saw a few sheep driven by foreigners, and these sheep barked at him, and he also looked familiar, but he didn't dare to come forward to recognize them. When I got home, I thought it was strange, so I gathered the livestock, so many livestock, the chaos really can't be seen, after gathering, I found that there are less, and the sheep are obviously smaller. Then the master rebuked the slave.

When everyone heard this, they felt angry and ridiculous. Kong almost saw the slave's eyes dripping and rolling, and the bones were thick. Although I lost some weight. If you can eat enough. Soon he will be able to become strong, and he will feel a pity in his heart, because if he steals his master's property according to Ding Ling's rules, he will be killed. After thinking about it, he said, "He ate a few sheep and stole a few cows." Your losses are quite large, and you should be punished for it. But I'll intercede for him. I have a jade plaque here, which is quite valuable, worth a few cows. He took a piece of beautiful jade from his body and handed it to his master. Turning to the slave, he asked, "What is your name?" The slave grinned, not knowing that he had escaped with his life, and the master replied on his behalf: "Back to the prince, he is a Xianbei man, who was plundered and sold to Ding Ling." It's called Tiger Head. ”

Kong almost said: "That's it, Tiger Head. You'll follow me from now on. Although he didn't know the value of the jade, he also knew that it would not be cheaper than a few cows, and he didn't want to pursue the slave anymore, so he let the tiger head follow Kong Jin.

King Ding Ling sighed to everyone, "Ding Ling people, they don't need to plow, they don't have to work hard to fish and hunt, they can have a full stomach, so they have developed a lazy character! No one thinks about what tomorrow will be, and no one thinks about what next year will be." Everyone can live freely. And when the storm comes, he dies, but the next day he is still happy. "Loose Ding Ling people, a few Han people have seen a lot these days, and there has always been a question in my heart: these scattered Ding Ling people give their king a headache, and there are many so-called foreign people in Middle Earth, they hide in the deep mountains and poor valleys, do not ask the king's law, do not obey the management of the government, they themselves do not have any illegal acts, but follow the rules everywhere, so that the government is helpless. It's just that such people have always attracted countless people to follow suit, attracted a large number of people to follow, they gave up the high-ranking officials, abandoned the good land and beautiful houses, gave up the beautiful wives and beautiful relatives, ran away together, made friends with apes and deer, neighbors with birds and birds, drank mountain springs, ate grass and fruits, and forgot about Wanghua, as if they were subjects of another kingdom in the world. Therefore, after the Qin Emperor unified the world, he implemented the system of compiling the people to prevent these people from breaking away from the jurisdiction of the counties and counties. It's just that some county officials feel that more is better than less, and coupled with the harsh laws of Daqin, people are more willing to flee into the mountains, and they are not willing to be the emperor's obedient people, and there are more people in the deep mountains. This Ding Zero is obviously not the case of Middle-earth, but it is still the same as Middle-earth, which brings a lot of problems. King Ding Ling wants to make great efforts, leap into the South Mountain, and compete for the world, with such muddy subjects, obviously there is not much competitiveness.

Sikong Wenzheng and Situ Noying, who read the book of Confucius and Mencius, have the world in mind, and take the world as their own responsibility, and the two feel that now is the opportunity for them to show their strength. The two of them asked King Ding Ling for his life, and they wanted to quickly establish a royal system like Middle-earth in Ding Ling, so that Ding Ling's subjects would be subject to the king, and Ding Ling's country would be rich and the people would be strong! King Ding Ling was overjoyed and said, "What are the two national teachers going to do? Where to start?"

Kong almost the three of them looked at the two of them coldly, looking at how they governed Ding Ling.

The two asked King Ding Ling to gather the princes of various tribes together, and first find out Ding Ling's population, land, and pastures. Waiting for the little princes of the various tribes here, King Ding Ling asked Kong almost the three of them: "What do the three national teachers have to teach the widow?"

The three of them glanced at each other, and Kong almost said, "There are many rivers and lakes here, and there is no accurate direction. The three of us didn't have any great skills, and we were uneasy to see many people trapped because of the rivers and lakes. We want to find out the source and flow direction of the rivers and lakes in Ding Ling, and draw them down, so that we can rely on them for future travel or something. King Ding Ling felt that these people were simply crazy, how could they find so many rivers and lakes! said, "It's fine." Say as many as you want. Beware yourselves. ”

The three of them found some shepherds and fishermen and wanted to sail there. When I arrived at a river, I saw that the river was not very wide, but the rapids were turbulent inside, and the fisherman's face was difficult. said: "Several national teachers, this is already September. ”

Meng Pingtong was stunned: "September, what's wrong with September?"

The man shook his head, "Your lord doesn't know, we are Ding Ling, but it is about to snow! Let's carry the fishing boats!"

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Sure enough, there were snowflakes in the evening, and although the snow did not fall heavily, the fishermen and herdsmen ran quietly for most of the time. The few remaining people covered their hands and stomped their feet, complaining incessantly.

Kong thought about it for a long time and remembered something. Said: "There is!" The two asked urgently, "What?"

Kong almost hahadaxiao: "How did we get here?" "How did it come? step by step!"

"No! We came because of the carriage. There was no such carriage. We're not going to come to this place where birds don't! The only way to solve the current dilemma is to build a wagon. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's a horse-drawn cart or an ox-cart after it's built. Think about it, it was snowing outside and we were sitting in the car, drinking. Don't care about the north wind howling, drive the car, follow the river, it's very comfortable!"

Zeng Dayan and Meng Pingtong listened to it, and they were also passionate, Zeng Dayan smiled for a while, and thought: "Alas, I said, is it the two of you, or will I build a car?"

The three of them suddenly stared at each other. Meng Pingtong thought for a moment: "Stupid! There are so many of them." Isn't there a car builder? The three of them happily came to King Ding Ling, and King Ding Ling listened. Seeing that they didn't speak for a long time, several people were furious by him, and Kong almost asked, "King, what are you looking at? ”

King Ding Ling sighed, "I also want to sit on the cart and cruise my Ding Ling Kingdom! It's a pity that the Hun Da Shan Yu once gave me a carriage, who knew that when he came out of Shan Yuting, he didn't go to my Ding Ling, and it was scattered! We are only suitable for the galloping of horses, so many rivers, lakes, and harbors, there is no possibility for cars to pass. Don't be delusional, most of our Ding Ling people, most of our tribes, don't say that they have seen it, and they have never heard of it! Who will build it? If you want to build it, you can try to build it yourself. ”

The three of them returned to their tents in disappointment, Meng Pingtong and Zeng Dayan were disheartened, and Kong almost muttered in his mouth, a little unconvinced: "What's there! Isn't it just two wheels and a big shaft? I still don't believe it." There's something I can barely do!, we'll do it ourselves!" the two looked at him in amazement, as if they were looking at a madman. But they know his temper, this guy does what he says, even if he can't do it, he will also make others unhappy.

Kong almost found a large piece of cowhide, turned it over, put the inside of the cowhide up, spread it on the ground, and asked Zeng Dayan to burn a few pieces of charcoal, and draw on the cowhide with charcoal. Meng Zeng and the others, as well as the people sent to them by King Ding Ling, surrounded them to see what he was doing. Although Kong was almost not willing to read the scriptures, their family actually had a lot of miscellaneous books, when Qin Shi Huang burned the books, many people in Ludi were reluctant to hand over the books and hid them. Later, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, many people died, and the books they hid gradually became known. He wandered around almost often, searching, and found a lot of books, and he didn't take these ownerless things seriously. I flipped through it myself, and threw it aside without interest, and if I was interested, I looked at it hungrily, and it was rare to see even the two good brothers of Meng Zeng. Among them, there is a book, which is written by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, called "The Yellow Emperor Makes the Scriptures", that the Yellow Emperor is an ancient god, born with great intelligence, and his subordinates are many geniuses and abilities, they get along with each other and refer to each other, and the people of later generations are blessed! The boats and chariots, palace utensils, chariots and armor used by later generations, in short, as long as people can use them, they all think of the Yellow Emperor, and they have made them! The Yellow Emperor thought that one day he and his ministers, After the disciple returned to heaven, he wrote his whimsical ideas into this "Yellow Emperor's Scripture" and passed it on to future generations. In the process of circulating this scripture, because a lot of things have been prepared, no one wants to invent new things, plus some people advocate the absolute saint to wisdom, some people attach importance to the way of the country, and regard the production as a strange skill, which obscures the wisdom of the Central Plains people, and no one pays attention to the "Creation of the Scripture" anymore, and this ancient book is annihilated.

Kong almost found such a book, only to know that the ancient sages of the ancients also attached importance to production, not to make utensils as a trick, moved in my heart, so I studied it carefully, and secretly made some things in private, the family thought it was ridiculous and fun at first, and when he grew up, it was still like this, and the family was anxious. His father burned all the tools and articles he had made! He wept for several days in a hurry, and others told him that what he had done was infinitely harmful, and that he was horrified and felt that he had gone mad. In the next few years, he also read some serious things with his brothers in the clan, but others could be happy, but he tasted the same as chewing wax. Still thinking about the things in the "Sutra of Creation". When the family saw that his rotten wood could not be carved. I don't want him to study in any climate. Just to prevent him from going further and further on the "evil path". That time in the imperial court's Pulunan car, others thought that they were children who didn't know the severity, but in fact he did it on purpose, he just wanted to get rid of the shackles of the family as soon as possible, it was a great opportunity, people didn't know it, so that everyone was completely desperate for him. His two good brothers, Meng Pingtong and Zeng Dayan, were also kept in the dark by him.

When he left his hometown, he dug up the "Yellow Emperor's Creation of the Scriptures" buried in the wild. Nothing else was brought with him, and he left happily. Meng Pingtong and Zeng Dayan also cried for a long time, which made him scoff and feel that the two of them had not planted. It's just that along the way with the Han envoy Zhang Qian, there is no place for him at all, and everyone regards him as a representative of Hu Lai, a boring elite. He didn't think it was wrong, he had been seen like this since he was a child, and he still was, and he still was! He heard that the master and apprentice of the big car were masters of car building, and he intended to get close to them. The cart was rude, and he asked him a question and answer, pointing to the ox cart for transport, and explained the structure, structure, materials, and dimensions of the cart one by one. Dache felt that a Confucian Confucian asked him for advice on the skills of car making, which was unprecedented and a great respect for him. He carefully wrote down the statement of the cart, and studied the "Creation of the Scriptures" in private, at this time Meng Zeng and the two also knew that he had such a strange book, and then read it, but he couldn't understand it, and he was bored. This time, Zhang Qian arranged for them to go to Ding Ling, and Kong was almost happy in his heart, feeling that he finally had a place to use. Who knew that when I arrived at Ding Ling, it was a wild place, and I didn't know where to start. Today he has found a way to start, which is to build a car that is suitable for Ding Ling's place! He wants to make a mark on Ding Ling's hole.

Everyone looked at the black lines he drew on the cowhide, straight, curved, and circled, and the top of the cowhide was soon filled with all kinds of thick and thin lines, and at this time, a morning passed. Kong almost straightened up, threw away the remaining piece of charcoal in his hand, wiped his black hand, and shouted: "Xiao Meng, give my brother a beating on the waist!" Meng Pingtong pouted, "What should I do!"

Zeng looked at his picture with wide eyes, covered his mouth and smiled: "What are you? Can you sit on it and travel around the world?"

Kong almost glared at them, "If you say that you don't have knowledge, you don't have any knowledge! You have been following my brother for so many years, and you have never eaten pork, and you have never seen a pig walk? This is a sketch, and according to this sketch, you can build thousands of cars! If you want a big one, add some size, and if you want a small one, the size will be smaller." ”

The news that Kong was almost going to build a car spread quickly among the Ding Ling people, and the shepherds, fishermen, adults and children, men and women, all rushed over, competing to watch, and when they saw the cowhide painted with all kinds of curves and straight lines, they were first shocked, and then they shook their heads and left. Kong almost didn't think so, and Meng Pingtong and Zeng Dayan felt that their faces were gloomy. Sikong Wenzheng and Situ Nuoying also came to watch, but the two of them were very knowledgeable, carefully looked at his sketches, the two glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Genius!" They were almost impressed by Kong, and felt that this guy who didn't have four or six turned out to have his own brilliance in his abdomen!

Kong almost asked his men to go to the mountains to look for willow and birch, and the wood was quickly cut down. The problem arises again, these big trees, Ding Ling people can get them down, but how can they make the bones of the trees into wooden strips and planks? There are only some small knives in the local area, axes, adzes, saws, planers, and chisels, and there are none! Not only are there no these, but there is not even the iron to make these things. Kong almost frowned, not knowing what to do. Zeng Dayan patted him on the shoulder, "I'll find a way." "I ran out with a few people. They went out for a few days and came back.

Zeng Dayan took a few sips of water, calmed down his excitement, and said: "There is a valley there, not far from here, only a day's journey. Where there's magnets in it, there's iron ore. As long as the iron ore is refined, not to mention a few of your tools, it will be completed when King Ding Ling builds an iron tent and an iron palace in the future. "Zeng Dayan has a master in their family, it is said that he can see the ground accurately, but in the palace of King Lu, he inexplicably got a strange disease and died soon after returning home. Some people say that he leaked the secret of heaven and was punished by heaven. Anyway, before he died, he saw Zeng Dayan, who was still young, and felt that he had a fate with this child, so he passed on some of his experience to Zeng Dayan. Zeng Dayan is quite obsessed with the art of finding dragon points, and observes the mountains and rivers everywhere when he has nothing to do, so he knows which places and what mines.

At this time, King Ding Ling already knew that these people had brought more than just a little gadget to his kingdom, but might be Ding Ling's revitalization. Ding Zero's strength. It is really a rich country and a strong people. He quickly summoned the men Zeng Dayan asked for and asked them to obey Zeng Dayan's orders.

An old man with a face full of folds, snow-white eyebrows, and long covered eyes was supported by someone, and trembling came to the big tent of King Ding Ling, who hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Elder Guo! Why did your old man come suddenly? ”

Guo Lao sighed and said, "You are so busy every day, how can I disturb you." Only this time. I had to come!"

King Ding Ling knew that the matter was serious, otherwise the elder would not have sacrificed himself and hurriedly came, helped the elder to sit down, and stood aside by himself. Said cautiously: "Elder Guo, what's the big deal?"

The elder looked at him and said, "I heard that you brought back a few people from the Central Plains?"

"Yes. What's wrong?"

"Alas, these people of the Central Plains are all treacherous and slippery! They are conceited and civilized early, and regard us as savages and look down on us! But since you have brought them. I can't say anything. It's just that I've heard that they're going to open a mine in my Dingling to make iron. What kind of bullshit car are you going to build! That mountain is the place of the great god of Xuanwu, dare to open a mine on the mountain? Aren't you afraid of provoking Grandpa Xuanwu? Raze me to the ground? You have never seen the majesty of Grandpa Xuanwu! That guy has forcibly split tens of thousands of feet of the West Mountain into two petals! The water of the North Sea has flooded the South Mountain! I was only three years old at the time, and it was my father and mother who tied me to the head of a stallion horse to death, and the stallion took me up the West Mountain. Otherwise, you won't see me. King Ding Ling laughed in his heart, and the old man began to talk about the Xuanwu God being angry again.

"I know, you don't want to listen to it, it's okay, it's just that I'll tell you kid, every mountain and water of Ding Ling belongs to the Xuanwu God, and it is Ding Ling's descendants who take care of it instead of the Xuanwu God. Ding Ling's grass and trees can't be moved, otherwise it will startle the gods and break Ding Ling's feng shui, and no one can bear it!" King Ding Ling was covered in cold sweat, sent off the elders, and came to discuss with everyone in a sullen manner.

Kong was almost anxious, "Don't mind! You can't just stop there! What bullshit feng shui! If feng shui works, wouldn't Qin Shi Huang and his family have been emperors for thousands of generations? But we have all seen that Qin II died! Where is the feng shui? It is said that the mining has alarmed the gods, and we have been mining in the Central Plains for thousands of years, and the people of the Central Plains have not still prospered and reproduced? That is all foolish nonsense!" Everyone didn't expect this master to dare to make such a rebellious statement, and looked at him in horror, not knowing what other strange things he could say. Kong was almost silent, squatting on the ground, studying his car diagram.

King Ding Ling thought about it for a few days, and one day, he was thinking hard about countermeasures in the big tent, when a warrior ran in in a panic, looking at his panicked appearance, King Ding Ling's heart tightened: "Is it a flying bear?"

The samurai shook his head, "Don't rush, take your time!"

The samurai stammered: "Country, national teacher, national teacher is here...... Pointing outside, King Ding Ling hurriedly stood up, and without waiting for him to finish, he came outside, only to see Situ Nuoying's face pale, sitting in a puddle with his hair scattered, chanting words in his mouth, and white smoke on his body, which was terrifying and terrifying. Someone saw King Ding Ling appear, and whispered to him, "The king is here." Tell the king what is the matter. King Ding Ling looked at the strange scene suspiciously, not knowing what was going on. One of his ministers whispered to him: "The national teacher gets up early in the morning, and it is fine. When I walked here, I sat down and became what I am now. It sounds like the god of Xuanwu is speaking. King Ding Ling was surprised and delighted, and he stepped forward and knelt down in front of him, and said, "King Ding Ling is here! ”

Situ Nuoyingyuan's eyes widened, and fire erupted from his mouth, which frightened King Ding Ling and the onlookers into exclaiming. When the flames went out, Situ Nuoying rolled his eyes, his nostrils turned to the sky, and said loudly: "Over the years, you Ding Ling people have become more and more bold! The tribute paid to me has always been pretended, and there is no sincerity at all! Don't you elders know about my punishment of your ancestors? That time, I split the West Mountain and submerged the South Mountain. All of you have swallowed the belly of the fish. Three hundred and twenty virgins and boys were left. After a hundred years, you have gradually forgotten the teachings and do not know how to honor the Great God. ”

King Ding Ling and the others were all taken aback, Situ Nuoying would never know about the great flood and earthquake of Ding Ling a hundred years ago, no one of them said anything, the elder of the country just said a few words in the big tent of King Ding Ling, Situ Nuoying was not present, so it was impossible for him to know what happened to Ding Ling before, so he was really the incarnation of the Xuanwu God?

The fluffy white grass reflects the evening breeze, swinging in the North Sea and drifting lonely peng; the fox deer passes through the fish and leaps, lying down and listening to Yi'er reciting the Five Classics. (To be continued......)
