Chapter 139 Farmer's Curse·Envoy from Han State
"Master Yun..."
In the wilderness, Feng Yun took Zou Yan and drove to three other farming areas to perform the Lei Ze fertility technique one by one, hoping to harvest a batch of grain at the beginning of summer so that the whole Baiyue would have no worries in the future.
Along the way, Feng Yun collected farming information, compiled it into one, and also used the "Nuwa Ten-month Calendar" to formulate a calendar suitable for the land of Baiyue, farming and hunting accurately, inexhaustible, and hard work.
get.
"You want to ask why the farming in this wooden plan should be handed over to Qi Hu instead of Li Yue?"
After finishing the detailed arrangements, Feng Yun did not take any time off and looked through the newly arrived detailed information on the carriage.
Zou Yan nodded when he heard this: "Master Yun, farming is a big deal. Qiu Hu seems to be a man of brute strength. It doesn't look like he can be proficient in farming."
Feng Yun smiled lightly: "Nowadays, farming in the Baiyue Land has been put aside for many years, and it is not systematic. It will be the same to anyone who hands it over."
"In farming, only by doing it yourself can you know the details, and you will become familiar with it over time. In this regard, Qihu will not do the farming himself, it is the Baiyue people who do the farming."
"After I sorted out the methods of rice cultivation in Baiyue, I compiled it into a farming book based on the new calendar. Qihu only needs to use it to arrange the people of Baiyue who need to farm."
"This is the way to behave in the world - stay in your position, perform your duties, have a beginning and an end, have rules and regulations, and be orderly and good but not rotten."
Feng Yun's words are recorded on the green branches...
"Huh?" Feng Yun was slightly surprised as he held a piece of information from Gu Ai in his hand.
Zou Yan asked carefully: "Master Yun?"
Waving his hands, Feng Yun pondered in his eyes. After a long time, the gate of Baiyue City had arrived.
"Between Gu Ai and Gu Meng, there was originally a defense, and there were armored soldiers stationed there, but we have been careful to report, and now there are faint signs of increasing the number of troops."
Zou Yan also imitated Feng Yun, pretending to be thoughtful, and then said: "Is there a new conflict between the two countries?"
Feng Yun was amused, but shook his head.
"No, on the contrary, Gumei and Baiyue were not enemies at first. Instead, they were both part of Yuyue, and they had many intersections with each other."
"If Gu Ai attacks a country first, it will definitely be me, Baiyue, not Gumei."
"I'm afraid they really want to form an alliance."
"Ah?" Zou Yan was surprised, but admired: "Master Yun had previously spread the word that Gu Meni and Gu Ai were willing to form an alliance. Did Master Yun expect this?"
"Is it the result of divination?"
"Haha..." Feng Yun rubbed Zou Yan's head and said with a smile: "No, it's not divination, and I didn't deliberately infer the relationship between Gu Meni and Gu Ai."
"I am just observing the general trend among several countries. Everything has its own rules. People often follow the trend, and the same goes for countries. It just so happens that I am taking advantage of the general trend."
The more he listened, the brighter Zou Yan's eyes became.
"Master Yun, can you teach me your method of "Observing the World"?"
Hearing this, Feng Yun only said: "My actions are not hidden from you. You want to learn from my view of the world, but I am also learning from the view of the world."
Zou Yan seemed to understand something, but with a pout on his face, he couldn't see through the logic.
"Let's go. I want to complete the agricultural books, witch doctor books and national regulations in the Palace of Classical Books in the past few days, waiting for the envoy from Han State."
"The envoy from the Kingdom of Han is here?" Feng Yun got out of the car, and Zou Yan hurriedly followed.
I wanted to ask more questions, but I saw Feng Yun looking into the distance, calling for someone to ask.
In front of Feng Yun, a soldier in armor said respectfully: "Jun Feng, it is the Wu Hope Temple that has been built, and the king allows the people of Baiyue to come and worship."
Hearing this, Feng Yun nodded.
At the same time, I also remembered that when I came to Baiyue earlier, the Yi family was arresting young men to build the Wupan Temple, and also captured some beautiful Baiyue women to prepare for use as ambassadors.
"I didn't ask the King of Baiyue about his attitude towards Ba."
The King of Baiyue once said that he wanted to make good friends with the Ba Kingdom for the inheritance of the witch doctors of the Ten Witches, so as to complete the Baiyue heritage.
Feng Yun neither agrees nor objects to this, and he will not go to Pakistan.
"We can ask the king about this later."
Returning to the Palace of Classics, Feng Yun began to complete the calendar agricultural books required for "Mu Ce·Farming and Hunting Time" and formulate the hunting period.
"Mu Ce, the farming is the responsibility of the Otter Department, so let's leave it to Qi Hu." Baiyue's farmers mainly rely on rice. Feng Yun is sure of this and takes it as his priority.
"And hunting is the responsibility of the Black Panther Department, so leave it to the Leopard Family...and let the Great Elder watch it together."
"In "Fire Strategy: Reward and Punishment", this matter is in the hands of the Four-Legged Snake Department and is also handed over to the Bao Clan, but the second elder is accompanied..."
""Jin Ce: Act with Soldiers", this requires the king himself to take charge."
"The rest of the details will follow the trend..."
In this way, the five strategies are fully divided and included in the "Jiuli Shibu" for the operation of the five strategies.
"Jun Feng..."
Outside, a person came.
"Mr. Wu Yi, what's going on?" Feng Yun was slightly doubtful. He only had contact with Wu Yi from the Ten Witches Palace when he was looking for medicine, and had no interaction with him since then, but he didn't want Wu Yi to come in person at this time.
Moreover, he was holding an extremely primitive animal skin in his hand.
Seeing Feng Yun's eyes, Wu Yi silently stepped forward and placed the animal skin in front of Feng Yun.
"Wen Fengjun searches for words about farming..."
"This is a curse scroll collected by Yu. I hope it will be helpful to Mr. Feng."
The hide is spread out.
I saw a strange ancient text on it, or it could be said to be the curse of the Jiuli tribe!
The curse changes in Feng Yun's eyes...
It transformed into an old man wearing animal skins in the mountains. This old man was huge in stature, with a dragon-like face and big lips. Except for his limbs and head, his body was transparent, and his veins were faintly visible.
And he swallowed a piece of grass in his hand, and his belly turned black.
"Shen Nong tasted the herbs?"
He tasted all kinds of herbs, invented medicine, and became a doctor.
Feng Yun was stunned when the scene changed again...
Cutting tung trees to make a qin, practicing silk to make strings, and making a musical instrument.
Living together in a pavilion, living and working in peace and contentment, becomes a refuge.
He transformed linen into cloth, pioneered weaving and made clothes.
Japan and China are the markets, and it is the first time to go to the market and make a deal.
Make pottery into a vessel, combine the bones into an axe, and make a tool.
He pioneered farming, invented grass, and became a farmer's road.
…
"Shennong was one of the Yan Emperors. He tasted herbs, identified grains, made farm tools, and taught farming..."
"He created a grain farming method and a herbal medicine method..."
"boom!"
Suddenly, Feng Yun had returned to reality.
He also understood the meaning of the curse on the animal skin - Nong.
"What did Mr. Feng see?" At this time, Wu Yi said.
Feng Yun nodded slightly.
He said truthfully: "Nong."
"Nong?" Wu Yi was slightly disappointed.
"That's all, I have learned the witch doctor's way, but this farmer doesn't care about me, so I will give it to Lord Feng."
What does Wu Yi mean?
Feng Yun suddenly realized, could it be that not everyone can see through this curse?
It should be like this, otherwise Wu Yiye wouldn't have to ask more questions.
Farewell Wu Yi.
Feng Yun hurriedly sat down.
This Farmer's Mantra is extraordinary. If you can understand it, it will be of great use.
The importance of agriculture in ancient times is no joke.
However, for this purpose, it is necessary to prepare the books required for the other strategies, so as not to delay important matters due to learning the farming spell.
…
So, a few days later, there was cold wind and heavy snow.
In the Palace of Classics, the wood on the stove was making a sound, making the breeze in the hall become tinged with heat waves, making it look very comfortable.
"Jun Feng, the envoy from Han Kingdom has arrived at Baiyue City and will soon enter the palace."
A soldier reported to Feng Yun in the palace of classics.
Feng Yun's hair was slightly scattered, he raised his eyes and sighed slightly.
"I knew that this policy would be endless."
There are several policy papers on Feng Yun's desk, marked with metal, wood, water, fire and earth, but many of them are incomplete and can only be used temporarily, and need to be filled in later.
The surroundings are full of books arranged in disorder. Among them, Zou Yan is lying in the pile of books and snoring, muttering from time to time: "I can't finish reading..."
Feng Yun smiled lightly and said softly to the soldier: "Prepare the car."
"promise."
After the soldiers left, Feng Yun summoned the Baiyue maid.
"Wrap up the strategies on the table and I will take them to the palace."
"promise."
Feng Yun stood up, put the animal skin that Wu Yi had given him before into his chest, and went to push Zou Yan.
"Master Yun...Yun, do you have any more books to read?"
Feng Yun shook his head.
"I'm leaving Baiyue Country. You have studied with me for a long time, and it's time to go home."
"Um...ah?" Zou Yan woke up in surprise.
"Where are you going, Mr. Feng?"
Feng Yun patted Zou Yan on the shoulder and put on the animal skin cloak.
"Han Guo."
Feng Yun picked up the big cloak on the other side, put on the Long Yuan sword, hung the seal of the Kingdom of Baiyue on his waist... and straightened his hair into a bun.
"Master Yun, take me with you!"
Feng Yun raised his head and touched the forehead of Zou Yan who was about to follow.
"Obey, your father is still in Baiyue, how can I take you away at will..."
"Master Yun, my father agreed that I should study with you."
Feng Yun pondered for two minutes.
"Let's do this. You go and explain to your father... just say that I want to go to Han, Yingfang, and Tong to lobby for Baiyue to join the Great Zhou Kingdom and learn the teachings of Zhou rites. See if they agree."
"If he agrees, pack your bags and wait for me at the city gate."
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away!" Zou Yan laughed playfully, quickly running out of the Palace of Classics and heading towards his home.
Feng Yun smiled lightly.
"Huh!" All he saw was a string of small footprints on the ground.
"Fengjun, the carriage is ready." Manwa heard that Feng Yun was going out and hurried over.
Now, he can be regarded as Feng Yun's guard. King Baiyue personally taught him the art of beast control and chose a big black bear for him as his war beast.
"Well, let's go."
Creaking, creaking...
Along the way, the snow was thick and few people went out.
The horses also lost their energy due to the cold.
After getting off the car, Feng Yun patted the horse's head.
"Thank you for your hard work."
As he said that, Feng Yun looked far away. At this time, there was a carriage parked. There were many bumps on its wheels. After Baiyue, it was already damaged and scrapped.
Feng Yun nodded.
On the side, Manwa exhaled whitely, grabbed Feng Yun's strategy from the car, and entered the palace with Feng Yun.
Outside the hall, a hundred Yue men raised their hands and said, "Master Feng, the people from Han are already inside. The king said you can go in when you are here."
"Man, you wait outside." Feng Yun took over the plan and entered the palace.
"Lord Feng is here." Baiyue Throne was on the main seat, and he didn't pay much attention to the people from Han. He had no choice but to see Feng Yun coming, so he stood up to greet him.
Feng Yun nodded and bowed slightly.
"Wang, Yun has some new books here. Wang may be interested in them."
King Baiyue's eyes moved slightly, he took the countermeasure from Feng Yun's hand and took it back to his low table without opening it.
Here, Feng Yun said to the envoy from Han: "Long time no see, envoy from Han."
The envoy of the Han Kingdom had a very complicated show. When facing Feng Yun, he did not dare to show off that the Han Kingdom was stronger than the Baiyue Kingdom. He quickly stood up and said: "Feng Jun is at peace."
"I heard that Mr. Feng was in Baiyue to pay homage to the prime minister. Now when I look at it, the face of Baiyue has changed drastically."
It was a boast, but in fact Han State did not pay much attention to Baiyue.
Previously, when Feng Yun sent Xizuo to the Han Kingdom to spread the news that the Baiyue troops were stationed in the east, at the junction of the Han Kingdom and Guai, he didn't care and even laughed at Baiyue's intentions. Could it be that he wanted to fight against the two countries at the same time?
But as Gumei and Gu Ai wanted to form an alliance to fight against Han, and Baiyue withdrew its troops due to lack of food, they panicked and continued to recruit troops.
You should know that Baiyue stationed troops in the east, which could contain Gu Ai and reduce the pressure on Han.
But without the troops of Baiyue, Gumei plus Baiyue, the national strength of these two countries, even Han, is not sure to be able to compete with them.
At this time, Feng Yun spread the news that Baiyue was a vassal of the Zhou Dynasty and wanted to learn farming. This allowed Han State to seize the opportunity.
"Master Feng, my country Han and Baiyue have been friends for decades, and there has never been a war..."
Hearing this, Feng Yun smiled lightly and nodded.
In fact, if there is chaos in the land of Baiyue, Han State will not look down on it at all.
"We, the country of Han, heard that Baiyue was short of food, so we sent five hundred stones of corn to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries."
Five hundred stones...
An adult man needs to eat ten liters per month, which is one-tenth of a stone.
These five hundred stones are only enough to feed 5,000 Vietnamese armored soldiers for a month. How can it be enough?
Feng Yun said: "Envoy from Han, please take a seat."
Feng Yun was not interested in arguing with the envoys for one stone per liter, but these five hundred stones were not enough. You must know that Feng Yun now needs at least 30,000 people and three months of food, which is ten thousand stones.
The King of Baiyue on the other side didn't think so, but he was happy that the Han State would send food.
He secretly thought: Mr. Feng said before that there was a way to solve the problem of food, and now someone is sending food!
The Han envoy sat down solemnly.
Feng Yun said bluntly: "I know what Han wants, and Han should also know what Baiyue wants."
The Han envoy looked confused.
Feng Yun laughed.
"Does the Kingdom of Han hope that Baiyue will send troops to Tundong to suppress Gu Ai?"
The Han envoy stepped back involuntarily, his face a little at a loss.
The envoys were on their way out. As soon as they had a conversation, Feng Yun told them what Han wanted. This made the envoys of Han not know how to speak again.
Feng Yun said again: "Envoy, you and I are also acquaintances. During the time of Yu Qian, I sent Yu slaves and carriages with Master Han, so I was kind to Yu."
Hearing this, the Han envoy's expression softened a little.
Feng Yun said again: "I, Baiyue, should also tell the envoy what I want."
"Although Baiyue is a barbarian, it also admires the kingdom of Zhou. Its farming methods are of great use to Baiyue, so it hopes to be recommended by other countries and go up to the emperor to pray for it to be included under the rule of the Great Zhou."
"In this way, we can also form an alliance with Han State to support each other and check and balance the surrounding barbarians."
What Feng Yun said is true and true.
Baiyue wanted to become a vassal of the Zhou Dynasty. This was a plan that the King of Baiyue wanted to try from the very beginning. Even though Feng Yun knew that there was no possibility of success, he did not abandon it.
As for farming...the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty was Hou Ji, who was a great farmer and was no weaker than Shen Nong.
Then he learned that farming is right and wrong.
And forming an alliance...this is also Feng Yun's consideration.
It is never a good thing to be isolated and helpless in the land of Baiyue. With the help of Han State, Baiyue has no enemies above, and can annex many tribal countries outside of Baiyue State in the south.
The customs of these countries are similar to and compatible with those of Baiyue. This is Feng Yun’s strategy of becoming a hegemonic country after the Baiyue people were stabilized... and the southern land became the hegemonic country.
The envoys of Han State on the other side heard what Feng Yun said and wanted to form an alliance with Han State...
He still sneered at Baiyue becoming the kingdom of Zhou rites, but he was just recommending it and wouldn't give up anything, so he could agree to it.
"Then... I think this matter can be done, but I still need to inform Mr. Han... I hope Baiyue can send troops soon to check and balance Gu Ai with the Han Kingdom. This also shows Baiyue's sincerity."
Feng Yun nodded and smiled.
"But, I, Baiyue, can send troops to Tundong at any time to contain Gu Ai... But."
