The sacred tree reaching the sky, the meeting hall of the Xiling clan.
Wu Qiudao turned to look at the old spider man who had brought him here. The old guy was like a quail and didn't dare to fart.
He then looked at the Spider Girl Xiu Niang sitting beside her. The Xiu Niang's face was full of worry, but she still forced herself to smile and encouraged Wu Qiudao not to be burdened.
Wu Qiudao asked cautiously: "Doctors have to prescribe the right medicine when visiting a doctor. I am a young man with little talent and little knowledge. Before I talk about this 'matriarchal clan', I boldly asked, I wonder what the management model of your Xiling clan is?"
"Well, 'management'? Does it mean jurisdiction and governance? There are so many new words in your mouth, little one!" The mistress of the Xiling family smiled and said, "Xiu Niang, let me introduce you to them!
"
"No!" The embroiderer turned around and softly introduced to Wu Qiudao the management model of the Xiling clan over the years.
Generally speaking, the Xiling clan can be divided into three major organizational modules: government affairs, military and religion.
In terms of government affairs, because Lei Zu, the most revered ancestor of the Xiling family, was a woman herself, she pioneered the method of planting mulberry and raising silkworms, the art of drawing silk and weaving silk, decreeing the farming of mulberry, making clothes according to law, and assisted Emperor Xuanyuan in many great achievements.
Achievements.
Therefore, since Lei Zu exhausted his energy and died in Hengyang Road, the Xiling clan has always been ruled by women. As time goes by, a "mistress" is headed, a "group of elders" assists Bi, and a "servant father"
The governing model of government decrees.
In terms of military affairs, although the Xiling clan members always go out alone or in small groups when hunting, over the past thousand years, there have been occasional invasions by outsiders, and there have even been cases of snakes crawling into caves to attack.
The disaster of eating the mulberry tree.
At this time, the mistress will issue a "General Recruitment Order" to recruit "Celestial Insect Generals" to lead the army from outside the government system; and then issue a "Recruitment Order" to mobilize all tribesmen to form an army to jointly resist the attack.
.
In terms of religion, because Lei Zu's decrees on farming and mulberry farming, legalizing clothes, building palaces, laying the foundation of the country, unifying the Central Plains, and being the leader of the government will not be forgotten until his death, the Xiling family revered Lei Zu as the "ancestral silkworm empress" every year.
A young girl is selected as the "Saint Lady of Silkworms" to be responsible for the sacrificial rituals.
Every year on the 10th day of February, the birthday of Lei Zu, the Holy Maiden organizes a "Spring Ceremony" to pray for a good harvest of mulberry crops; the 15th day of September is the "Autumn Ceremony" to worship ancestor Lei Zu, thank the silkworm mother for her blessings, and pray for a good harvest of mulberry crops in the coming year.
.
Each saint is selected from the blood lineage of the mistress, and as a rule over the years, each generation of mistress has also been a saint; when the new generation of mistress succeeds, other "expired" saints will become
The meeting will be transferred to the board of elders, and Xiu Niang will be this year's saint.
So generally speaking, the Xiling clan can be divided into five strata: the first stratum is the matron; the second stratum is the elders and the previous saints; the third stratum is the serving fathers and ordinary female spiders; the fourth stratum is the ordinary
Male spider people; the fifth level is the spider slaves who have not passed the rite of passage.
"I understand." Wu Qiudao scratched his head, "Then where do we start?"
"Let's start with the 'Three Obediences and Four Virtues'!" The mistress stared at Wu Qiudao with a burning gaze, "Since Dong Sheng proposed to the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago to 'depose all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism,' Confucianism has become my Xiling clan
Due to the constraints, some tribesmen often initiate riots based on the evil theories of the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Beings!"
At this time, a man's hearty voice suddenly came from outside the door of the meeting hall. He was reciting scriptures as he walked:
"Male comes before women, which means hardness and softness. Heaven comes before earth, king comes before ministers, and the meaning is the same! Men and women are different, then father and son are related, father and son are related, then righteousness is born, righteousness is born, then rituals are performed, and rituals are performed then
All is well."
"Going out of the gate first, the male is handsome and the female is the male, and the righteousness of husband and wife begins from this. A woman is a person who is subordinate to others. When she is young, she is subordinate to her father and brother, when she is married, she is subordinate to her husband, and when her husband dies, she is subordinate to her son."
"Heaven and earth, monarch and ministers, father and son, husband and wife, have their own order of succession. 'The father is the guide for the son, the king is the guide for the ministers, and the husband is the guide for the wife'. It is natural and natural. Is it wrong in the Book of Rites?"
The middle-aged male spider-man walked in, wearing a helmet and armor. Under the light of the lights and candles in the meeting hall, he looked even more gleaming and imposing.
The old spider man took a step forward and shouted: "Qingyi, it is not war time now, your title of 'Celestial Insect General' has been taken back long ago, and now you are just a commoner! Why did you break into the meeting hall without being informed?"
?”
"Oh? As a commoner, I can't enter the meeting hall. Why can he, a surface slave, stay in the meeting hall openly?" The middle-aged spider man looked at Wu Qiudao coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Huh? Wu Qiudao narrowed his eyes, this means that the person who comes is not good, and the good person does not come!
The embroiderer stood up and said: "He is not a slave, but my savior! Mistress, my son was attacked by chisels when he was giving birth to hairpins. It was my benefactor who saved my life in the crisis!"
Qing Yi sneered: "I, the Xiling clan, and the hairpin ceremony have always had to complete the hairpin ceremony independently for the girls who go out. I have never heard of outsiders helping me to be called 'independent'! Holy girl, I think you should be more careful before you speak!"
"
"This..." The embroiderer hesitated.
The mistress who was sitting high on the main seat suddenly spoke, interrupting the quarrel between Xiu Niang and Qing Yi: "There is no need to argue about this matter. It is okay to regard this little guy as Xiu Niang's prisoner. Qing Yi, please talk first.
, Why do you put on your robes and armour, and break into the meeting hall on a day of peace for no reason?"
Tsing Yi made a military salute: "Madam, our spies have discovered that the Kinnara clan in the underground city has made some changes, and they may launch an attack on our Xiling clan again! Tsing Yi suggests that the "Conquest Order" and "Summoning of Generals" be issued immediately.
Military Order》!”
The mistress sighed: "I see, there is an emergency military situation again!"
"I think that at such an emergency, we should immediately organize all the people into households and mobilize all the tribesmen! Put all the spider slaves and outsiders into the cannon fodder camp to defend against the first wave of attack by the Kinnara army!"
Aiming at me? Wu Qiudao glanced at Qing Yi and said with a smile: "This Qing Yi... General? I don't know your specific title. I have a small question. Do you mind if I ask?"
"
Qing Yi glanced at Wu Qiudao contemptuously and did not take him seriously.
The old spider man pretended to cough and said: "My little friend is a great talent in speaking. As the saying goes, if three people are walking together, I must be my teacher! If my little friend finds anything wrong, you might as well tattoo the Tsing Yi General on you!"
Wu Qiudao asked: "I heard that from ancient times to the present, this urgent military situation has always been sent by courier 800 miles away. The horse died and the horse died and the person died. The messenger didn't even have time to eat, drink or relieve himself. He was smelly.
It’s dry, that’s called a sloppy person!”
General Tsing Yi's expression changed.
"How come the news reached General Qingyi, and he still had time to bathe and change into a military uniform? It seems that the general is a general. He is unhurried and confident. He is worthy of being the top of the country!" Wu Qiudao looked back and said.
