Yu Zai has a tough attitude and wants to force the Dongyi leaders to join the alliance and tell them that this land can no longer wander around like this. A new era has arrived and the days for you to run freely are numbered!
Wen Ming had no way to persuade him. Among the many leaders of Dongyi, many were afraid of Sunzai's divine power and began to waver seriously. Fangfeng was one of them. He was originally a staunch Dongyi sect.
But now, he is a firm Central Plains sect member!
I don’t know why, but I feel like if I object, I will be killed to establish my authority!
"Very good, it seems that everyone is very tempted by my proposal!"
Ruanzai spoke at the right time, and many people fell silent. However, those who were still opposing were afraid that Ruanzai would take away their rights. After all, if Dongyi really joined the Central Plains Alliance, this new
No matter what the alliance or the power structure looks like, there will definitely be no place for old-school power holders like them.
Because they have also heard about the newly promulgated assessment system in the Central Plains, this is something they cannot do.
"I don't accept it!"
Someone raised their arms and expressed their demands! It was the Dongtu clan among the nine tribes of Dongyi.
Since Tushan left Dongyi, Fu was captured by Chonghua and sent to the Central Plains to be imprisoned. He was beaten by the Great Yi and became autistic. As the most powerful "nine tribes" in the Dongyi region, only the most powerful "nine tribes" can still move.
There are six large tribes left.
Dongtu's strength is not much different from Fenghong's. The leaders of these two large tribes are now the talkers in the Dongyi region.
"I dare to ask Bai Kui, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
The leader of the Dongtu clan worked hard, but when Azai heard this, he said, "If you don't know whether you should talk about it, just stop talking about it."
"I"
"I must tell it!"
The leader of the Dongtu clan almost lost his breath and was choked to death by Azai. His face turned red, his beard trembled violently, and even the fur on his body was shaking: "If Dongyi is merged into the Central Plains, we can still maintain
What’s your current status?”
Yu Zai: "Of course not. Those who are incompetent will be inferior, and those who are capable will be promoted."
The leader of the Dongtu clan said angrily: "You mean, we can't govern our tribe by ourselves, and we need your consent, and whether we should be the leader or not is not up to us to choose, but to be judged by you!"
"Then what's the difference between this and annexing us and turning us into slaves!"
Yu Zai smiled, shook his head and said, "Turning you into slaves? You think so well."
"Everything needs to be planted, developed, and produced by you yourself! What you produce is still yours to eat. If you think that this kind of merger is the same as slaves, then you should give most of the food you produce to
Central Plains!”
"I have never heard that slaves can still have enough to eat!"
Ruanzai's question left the leader of the Dongtu clan speechless. He clenched his fists and kept shouting!
"Brothers! The Central Plains is insulting us! We are the children of the sky, bathing in the first ray of sunshine in the east. The Tang Valley is in the east and the full moon is in the west. Our arrows shoot towards the East China Sea and can hit the sky and knock down
Birds!"
"We can't just be controlled by the Central Plains! We have to fight back! You can destroy us and kill us, but you must not try to annex us!"
The leader of the Dongtu clan raised his arms and shouted. His words were full of memories and pride of the past. This emotion infected many people, making the leaders who were a little shaken at the beginning start to move towards him again.
"Dontu is right"
"Perhaps this is the case. The children of the sky cannot bow to the children of the river."
The will of these leaders wavered, but Yu Zai still shook his head and asked these leaders:
"Before you were hit by the disaster, how many people could be fed by the food produced by the tribe for one farmer?"
Many Dongyi leaders did not answer, but Wen Ming knew these things better. He often heard these old leaders say these things, so he quickly said:
"Even if one person works hard every day, there is only enough food for three people a year. Totem warriors have to be responsible for hunting and training bows and arrows, and cannot cultivate the land all the time. Fortunately, later on, plows became available. If a person has a
With oxen, we can feed more than ten people, but without oxen, we can only feed six or seven people."
"It is common to have insufficient food. After all, not every year is a good harvest year. However, since ten years ago, precipitation has increased and rice has grown reasonably well. However, in the past two years, due to the floods, food has been in short supply again.
"
"New food is for the leaders to eat; spoiled food is for the people to eat."
The surrounding Dongyi leaders all felt ashamed when they heard this comment. It is indeed difficult for them to deal with floods. Most of the Dongyi lands are flat plains, and only large mountains exist near Mount Tai. This is the advantage of plains.
, is also the disadvantage of plains.
The plains can produce abundant food supplies, which is an important reason why Dongyi has been able to engage in a tug-of-war with the Central Plains for many years. However, the plains are also vulnerable to floods. Once the floods spread, it will be almost unstoppable.
Some people were dissatisfied and muttered: "If the leader wants to lead the tribe to survive, of course he must eat good food. Without good food, if the leader is dead, what future will the tribe have?"
"As long as the people have enough to eat, they can get through it!"
Many leaders seem to think that there is nothing wrong with this statement.
Yu Zai said: "Then do you know what Taotang's grain harvest will be like this year?"
"Let me tell you, there is so much food that we can't keep it. Even the pigs in the livestock factory can eat the food that people eat. They have grown fat, big, black and fat!"
"Looking at the Luoshui Plain, you can see thousands of miles of wheat fields; seeing both sides of the Wei River, there are endless rice fields!"
"The granary in the Central Plains is bigger than the stone city in Dongyi! There are wars every year, but the food supply is also increasing every year!"
What Yu Zai said caused some commotion among the Dongyi leaders. Many people questioned what Yu Zai said was untrue.
Didn’t the Central Plains suffer from floods?
How flooded are the downstream areas? When did the major floods begin, did it not start from the Wei River, Luoshui River, and Fenglingdu River?
The great place in the Central Plains is on that piece of land, right at the bend of the river, where the river surges most violently.
Most of the Dongyi leaders believed that what Su Zai said was false.
Yu Zai just laughed it off!
"Whether it is true or false, you will know for yourself when you go and take a look! It is exactly the saying that 'a sight is worth a hundred hearings'! No matter how beautiful what others say, you can only treat it as bragging. When the floods are calmed down this time, you will
Go to Shangqiu, Luoshui, Fenhe, Fengling, and Huashan to see for yourself!"
"Don't say it. I won't give you time to think about it. I have already put it down. From now on, regardless of whether you agree or not, the land of Dongyi is already a part of the Central Plains Alliance. After the flood control is over, I hope you will
Send the name of the new king to the Central Plains, and after we give you an answer, we will become a country of brothers and one family from now on."
After Ruan Zai finished speaking, he made a strong and unilateral declaration. The leaders of Dongyi looked at Ruan Zai's back in fear. A group of people gathered together and began to discuss the future destiny of Dongyi with complicated expressions.
"What will this land become like?"
"Heaven above! This may be the last time, we sacrifice to heaven!"
As for Wen Ming, Yuzai told him that if you want to go back now, I will take you back.
Wen Ming hesitated for a while and suddenly asked a question.
This question made Ruzai stare at Wen Ming for a long time, making him tremble.
Wen Ming asked: "I don't think it's right. It took me a lot of effort, even several generations of hard work, to become the leader of the tribe. If I don't do it well, will their descendants also become ordinary people?"
"Then what the predecessors have done, aren't they all in vain?"
Yu Zai remembers this question. In mythology, the original answerer to this question was Bo Cheng Zi Gao.
That was what happened after Dayu conquered the world and Bocheng Zigao lived in seclusion! The conversation between the two parties ended on bad terms, and Dayu finally raised this issue unwillingly:
[I am the co-owner of the world, why should my son not inherit my position and become a commoner!]
Because of this problem, Bocheng Zigao despised Dayu, thinking that he was not worthy to be compared with Shun.
Shun's son was Shang Jun. Because of his lack of ability, Shun was kicked out of the central leadership circle and was sent to Yucheng, Henan, where he became the village chief.
Yu Zai knew that this knot in Wen Ming's heart must be solved for him at this time.
Otherwise, he would still make some small moves, not to mention that he already has a son at this time.
Ruzai's eyes looked at a few people in the distance, and directly met Qi's eyes.
Qi, who was in Nvjiao's arms, looked at Yuzai. At that moment, his eyes were as bright as fire and the sun, making Qi so frightened that he burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? How can a boy be considered a warrior when he looks sad?"
Ruzai raised her chin, and although her voice was not loud, it followed the sound of the wind and reached Qi's ears.
The little Qi had a mournful face, but he didn't dare to cry out. He was frightened by Sun Zai's words. This shadow was imprinted on the deepest part of his mind and soul. Tears rolled in his eyes, his nose twitched, but he didn't dare to say anything.
The voice comes!
Even the girl was surprised.
Her son was by no means born divine, and there was no story about him being born out of stone. Therefore, like a normal child, Qi would cry and laugh, not to mention that Qi was already over two years old.
However, this was the first time that I was too scared to cry loudly.
Wen Ming also turned around in surprise and saw his son trying hard not to cry. He felt that this situation was really strange.
Ruzai pointed at Qi and said to Wen Ming beside him: "Wen Ming, look at your son."
"Was he born from stone?"
"no."
"Then he was born with three heads and six arms?"
"This, no."
"So, was he born to be a god and master the five thunders, or could he control the wind and rain and travel across the sea?"
"ah?!"
Wen Ming was stunned, even a little bit dumbfounded!
How can such a young child have such great power?
But Yuzai didn't want to laugh at all. He just looked straight at him and asked:
"What about you? What do you have more than others? Is it the thin bloodline of a god? If the Yellow Emperor's bloodline with the Chong clan is still noble, then there are at least twenty-five bloodlines equal to yours in the world."
"Should I explain to you the ancestors of these twenty-five tribes in detail? Shaohao died in Dongyi, ruled the world, and was an ancient holy emperor! But how many people know that his younger brother Chang
Do you want to marry a poor girl from Shushan and die on the road to control floods in Shu?"
"How many descendants does the Yellow Emperor have? Canglin, Yigu, Qing, Xiu, Hui. Do you know where their descendants are now? Are they big tribes? How many clans were born?"
Wen Ming didn't know what Yu Zai was asking these questions for, so of course he couldn't answer them. He hesitated and shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
Yu Zai said: "Is the bloodline of Huangdi noble? What about the bloodline of Emperor Yan? What about the bloodline of Emperor Kuang? Or the bloodline of other ancient emperors!"
"Whose bloodline can be traced back to the Three Emperors era, but it doesn't come from the nine tribes of the Ju Fang clan!"
"Your achievement is to control the floods in Dongyi, but your knowledge of water control was given to you by your ancestors in heaven!"
Wen Ming was like a child being scolded. He lowered his head and said nothing. He just felt that Su Zai's tone was too harsh.
But how could Yuzai not be strict!
Shun set an example for Shangjun, who did not dare to peek into Pingtian Temple! And Yu also set another kind of example for Qi. After saying that, Qi killed Boyi, opened up the family world, and expanded slavery.
!
With the current productivity of various city-states in the mountains and seas, slaves have long been unnecessary!
If Jia Tianxia is opened again, it will only delay the growth of the population and the merger of the world!
"Tell me, who does your life come from?"
"I was born to parents. My father is Chong Bogun and my mother is Xiu Ji."
"Tell me, who does your knowledge come from?"
"My knowledge is all learned in Hongzhou. It was you who taught me, Brother Zai."
Yuzai gave a stern warning:
"So, are you a born saint? Isn't your son a born mortal?"
These words were like thunder, making Wen Ming's hair stand on end!
Wen Ming didn't dare to speak, so Suzai sighed, switching from a stern tone to a more serious tone:
"Everyone wants to leave something for future generations. Look at these Dongyi tribal leaders. Their thoughts are the same as yours! I have worked hard to get the rights and the position of leader. If I merge into the Central Plains
, they may be deprived of their position as leaders just because they do something bad, so how can their descendants enjoy happiness?"
"There is nothing wrong with this. Everyone thinks this way. Even I think this way. When I leave this world, or after my eternal life, my blood is still alive in the world, so I will leave it for them.
What rained down?"
"Is it just a legend? Future generations will not care about your legend! Whether you are great or poor, as long as you can leave wealth or power and status for them, then you are a good ancestor. If not, then
No matter how great you are, it has nothing to do with them."
"I want to tell you! Your greatness comes from the people in the world! People in the world call you a saint, and you are the saint! Not because you think you are great, you can call yourself a saint!"
"And if your tribe, your son, wants to continue to be great, don't put the greatness you have gained on his head! Because it is you, not your son, who is respected and loved by the people in the world!"
"For your son, people are just 'love the house and the bird'!"
Wen Ming trembled all over and understood a lot of truth, but he still had questions: "I probably understand! But, Brother Zai, what is Aiwu and Wu?"
Yu Zai warned: "When people love a person, they also love the crows that stay under his roof! Similarly, if they hate a person, they also hate the walls and fences of his house!"
"Borrowed greatness is not enough to be praised by the world!"
Ruanzai walked towards Qi, and little Qi was so frightened that he crawled into his mother's arms. The charming girl did not dare to leave, so she bowed respectfully, and Ruzai came to Qi's face and leaned down:
The white linen clothes left an indelible impression on Kai!
Yu Zai's hand touched Qi's head, paused for a moment, and laughed twice:
"Qi! You will become an upright and truly great person, right!"
