Some people are looking at Yao Yun, and Yao Yun is also looking at others. Just like a painting within a painting, he is also thinking about the future.
Zhu Xiazi's phoenix bird messenger left, and Cang Man said that this beautiful and noble phoenix bird was very powerful, making him feel like he was facing powerful beasts and monsters.
Yao Yun's cultivation level was low and he did not feel this kind of pressure from high levels.
He was a little envious of the phoenix bird, which could roam freely in this wild land, but he was trapped in this small city.
Although his ancestors had hidden him, he did not have to be a common man in Guizhou with his face turned to the loess and his back to the sky. He also did not have to chase a prey through thorns, making his whole body bloody and precarious. He was always worried about starving to death or freezing to death, and he did not have to worry about disasters.
, ferocious beasts and monsters...
But Yao Yun understood that if he didn't make progress, he would be trapped in the small city forever.
If he wants to explore this vast primitive world, he must need strength, and at this time, he is already tightly tied to Xi Guo, and he will be both prosperous and devastated.
Yao Yun's foundation is here, and even his opportunities must start from Xiguo.
After returning home last night, he studied the Book of Heaven carefully, but...he didn't gain much.
It seems that Tianshu is not a mature and good golden finger, and he does not even answer questions automatically. From this, we know that Tianshu's intelligence is really limited, and he is a golden finger that is half full of water.
There is no other way, Yao Yun can only take one step at a time.
The first thing he has to face is the provocation from the barbarian tribe to which Xidu belongs. This is what he must face, and it is also his first trial stone.
He was curious about what magical powers would appear in the Book of Heaven when he successfully solved the problem.
For this reason, Yao Yun didn't sleep all night last night.
He asked Cang Man to move all the bamboo slips of Xi Kingdom that recorded the affairs of Xi Kingdom to his palace.
There seem to be a lot of bamboo slips, enough for several carts, but there are not many words recorded on each bamboo slip. As a time traveler, Yao Yun has a high reading volume, and the princes and princes in this life have very solid basic skills, so he can read
Very easy and smooth.
There are few words engraved on the bamboo slips, but the amount of information is huge, covering all aspects of the Xi Kingdom.
Spring hunting scene;
The king goes out to fight;
Sacrifice to the gods;
Celebration banquet;
City expansion...
Every aspect of the entire Xi Kingdom, as long as it was a slightly bigger matter, the witch boys always diligently recorded it in the books, which allowed Yao Yun to intuitively understand the situation in his territory.
Coupled with asking Cang Man from time to time and making comparisons, Yao Yun soon had the specific outline of Xi Kingdom in his mind, and at the same time, he searched for clues to solve the current problem among the numerous information.
According to the information recorded on the bamboo slips and Cangman's oral narrative, the production level of Xidu was very average, probably in the Bronze Age, which had just left primitive society.
Use metal weapons, mainly bronze, utensils for daily life, cooking utensils, bronze and pottery, fabrics such as silk, linen, and grass cloth, live in wooden houses or earthen houses, and noble houses will use stone...
From the perspective of a time traveler like Yao Yun, this world is really too old. Men farm and women weave. All kinds of tools are primitive and scarce, and productivity is extremely low.
However, if we compare it with barbarian tribes, Xidu is a well-deserved civilized country. It is very developed in all aspects. Whether it is handicrafts, planting, or animal husbandry, it is far ahead of an era.
In the bamboo slips, Yao Yun saw that the barbarian tribes regularly purchased large quantities of daily necessities, pottery, bronzes, grain and salt from Xidu.
This kind of trade is very frequent, especially during this period of autumn, when the demand of barbarian tribes will increase sharply.
Autumn is followed by severe winter.
Yao Yun has not experienced the coldness of this world's severe winter, but it is deep in his memory, and the memory is profound.
Winter in this era is very scary and can kill people. Without enough winter stock, it is very normal to starve to death or freeze to death.
This is especially true for barbarian tribes.
Winters in the past were very harsh. If a certain tribe encountered an accident and was not well prepared, it would be difficult to survive the winter and many people would die. If they were unlucky, a small tribe might be buried in the ice and snow and never survive.
wake!
Since the rise of Xidu in this barbaric land, the life of the barbarian tribes has been greatly improved.
Seeing this, Yao Yun's eyes lit up.
Before this, Yao Yun had always thought that his advantageous fathers, Yao Xuan and Xi, had conquered the barbarian tribes by force. Now it seems that this is not entirely the case.
The war stick in the left hand and the economic stick in the right hand are combined into one. When the former Xi Wang Yao Xuan gave an order, the barbarian tribe dared not to obey.
Now that Xidu has no force, it is impossible to intimidate the barbarian tribes and make them surrender completely, but there is no problem in using the economic stick to beat them once or twice to make them honest.
Especially now that it's autumn.
Thinking of this, Yao Yun withdrew his gaze, but Fengniao had already disappeared into the sky.
Wu Tong stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the time has almost come!"
Yao Yun knew that the time in Wu Tong's words meant that it was time for him to ascend the throne. After today, he would be the king of Xi Kingdom.
Yao Yun's mother passed away when he was born, and his only relatives were people from other branches of the Xi clan. They traveled thousands of miles to attend his enthronement ceremony and gave him generous gifts.
In addition, there were a few envoys from the barbarian tribes and the people of Xidu.
Although there were no important people and the style seemed a bit low-key, the rooftop of Xidu Sacrifice was still crowded and very lively.
Most of them are people from Xidu, and for them, today is a very important day.
Their new king will take the throne today, and from then on, their fate will be closely linked to the new king.
On the rooftop of Xidu, Wu Tong led a group of Wu Tong in black to dance the witch dance, and Cang Man led a group of warriors holding arms and shields to also start the military dance.
Ancient and mysterious whispers came from Wu Tong's mouth, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, to ghosts and gods, and to ancestors.
Yao Yun didn't fully understand it, but he guessed a little bit, which was roughly recommending Yao Yun to the heaven and earth, ghosts, gods, and ancestors to offer sacrifices and let all the great gods bless him.
In this way, Yao Yun's accession to the throne is in line with etiquette and law, and in compliance with the nature of heaven and earth.
Next, what Wu Tong recited was not the mysterious and profound witchcraft, but the Zhu Xia language, which talked about the nine virtues of the princes.
Obviously, it was for Yao Yun to hear.
“Those who are princes should be generous and dignified;
Gentle yet firm;
Be honest and respectful;
Talented yet careful;
Kind yet resolute;
Upright and kind;
Simple yet angular;
Decisive and practical;
Strong and reasonable”
.......
According to legend, this is the wise saying of the sages of Xia. When every prince ascends the throne, he will be warned and exhorted by the great wizard.
"Yun Jin will keep it in mind!"
As Yao Yun pulled out the sword of the princes given by the princes of Zhuxia, the moment the sword was held in the sky, the whole Xi was boiling, and countless people prostrate themselves on the ground, shouting,
"King!"
Yao Yun looked around and suddenly felt a different kind of pride in his heart.
Another world, here I come!
Among the crowd, several envoys from the barbarian tribes also knelt down involuntarily in this fanatical atmosphere.
When they wanted to secretly look up at the new king of Xidu,
