The summer solstice is getting closer, and both the south and the north are actively developing and expanding their influence on the surrounding areas.
The grasslands in the north have established connections with the Central Plains. The Central Plains have opened up roads for the grasslands, divided pastures, and carried out a certain degree of infrastructure construction. The tribal leaders in the Dongyi region also went to Taotang to swear an alliance with reluctance and tragedy.
.
However, after they went to Taotang, it didn't take long before they were unwilling to return to Dongyi!
Having seen the prosperity of big cities, Dongyi is not even as good as the countryside! Where I live, the toilets in Taotang are not as high-end!
I am happy here and don’t miss Dongyi!
In the southern region, the person Xuannu mentioned, or one of the "people", finally appeared in Hongzhou.
The totem he has on his body is also a dragon.
But compared with the Yellow Emperor's dragon, it is more flamboyant and fierce, and lacks a trace of auspiciousness and solemnity. Moreover, there is a small snake beside this big dragon.
This man was wearing a bamboo hat, a raincoat, bare feet, and clothes made of deerskin, with a gourd and a fan hanging on his waist.
He came to the Great Flood Control City and marveled at the power of this wonder. It diverted excess water from the river into canals, which not only prevented floods, but also utilized water conservancy for irrigation and production.
The big water conservancy spinning wheel is running, and the iron smelting water row is also turning.
"Is this the land that all the Qi Practitioners praise?"
“Truly stunning and dizzying to watch.”
"This land that Shimo told me has never been here. Only when I came here today did I understand what it means to live a worthwhile life."
A huge spectacle requires a huge amount of productivity and human resources, but when he learned that it took Hongzhou more than ten years to build this wonder, and it is still under construction, and has not been stopped or hindered by natural disasters, he couldn't help but feel sad.
He was amazed by this.
This requires strong design power and terrain investigation to build this great building bit by bit.
Moreover, Hongzhou's productivity far exceeded his imagination.
Especially when he saw the steam locomotive in his eyes! He was almost stunned and couldn't even breathe!
The rhythmic sound, the thin spray of steam and smoke, and the light shining on the copper and iron shell at this time of spring and summer all reflected deeply in his heart.
"I have lived for more than a thousand years and have never seen anything like this."
When he came to Hongzhou, people saw him along the way, and some people didn't pay attention. But as he walked, more and more people were watching him, and more and more eyes were watching him.
"Is there something on my face?"
This man felt very strange. There was no one in this world who knew him, but the eyes of these people didn't look right.
It was as if he already knew he was coming.
Soon, he was stopped by someone and asked about his identity. The person responded with a disguised identity, and the person who stopped him told the truth.
"No, this identity is fake. Do you still need to disguise yourself when you get here? Who are you?"
The person who blocked the road was none other than Huang Di. He was still holding the buns he had just bought in the market. After receiving the news from Xuannv, he came to the road to block the door without even eating breakfast.
He must take a look, who is this so-called great man? Is he greater than himself?
"Are you Shennong?"
Huang Di ate the bun, frowned, and spoke suspiciously.
The visitor was stunned, sighed, and smiled: "Who are you?"
"I am Huangdi."
"Huang Haha, learn from Huang Di and do good deeds. I know, I know."
"It's the real Yellow Emperor!"
Huang Di was angry. He tried his best to avoid losing his vest before, but now he really did. When told about his true identity, this man still didn't believe it!
The man was also a little surprised and looked at Huang Di's appearance: "Are you Ji Xuanyuan? No matter how I look at it, it's different from the one in the legend."
"Legends are legends. Pictures are for reference only. The final product shall prevail."
"This makes sense."
The man thought about it carefully and felt that Huang Di was right. Indeed, in many things, what he heard was false and what he saw was true.
"You are right. The influence of external objects is very great. People will always beautify the legendary characters in their imaginations. But in fact, depending on the times, the characters themselves have various flaws and regrets.
of."
"Who says the Yellow Emperor can't have a big beard and a chicken coop head?"
"The red pine tree also wears a hula skirt and dances like a savage. Who said that the ancient saint must be graceful?"
The man laughed: "However, it would really subvert my impression of you, if you are really the Yellow Emperor and did not lie to me."
"How dare the ancient holy king appear so blatantly in front of future generations?"
"Do you think your era can continue?"
Huang Di snorted: "The times are progressing. I never thought that the times would stop because of me alone."
"Besides, I owe my credit to this new era. Those children in the school still have their chemistry classes taught by me."
The visitor was puzzled: "Chemistry class? The school seems to have heard in Taotang that the new kings are doing pretty well, whether it is Yu Zai, Yao Chonghua, or Di Fangxun, who is nearly ninety years old. They are such
One generation is much better than ours."
"It's much better than your generation."
The visitor stretched out his hand, took out a bun from Huang Di's linen pocket, gnawed it, and said vaguely:
"In this case, I don't have to hide my identity. Even a great person like you no longer avoids his identity, and I can walk in the world openly."
"Perhaps in the new era, our presence or not will not affect the behavior of those descendants. When you were hiding, your thoughts were different from mine. At least what I thought at that time was that if I didn't die,
The people behind you will stop making progress."
"If I don't die, they will regard me as a god and stop thinking. They will only need to obey my orders in everything. So in the end, some careerists may be born who want to kill me and then rob the tribe.
Divine right, this will lead to war and death, and the final outcome of the tribe will definitely not be good."
"Human beings are the most important and should not become gods, so I stayed anonymous and died for fifteen hundred years."
"Now, I can live, because my wisdom has been reduced to that of ordinary people in this era. Maybe I can enjoy the benefits of this era like you, truly live in the present, and put everything into consideration."
Leave it to future generations."
Huang Di's eyes narrowed: "What you said is wrong. You can't say that you leave everything to future generations. Let me tell you, it is wrong to live to learn and think that you have reached the end of wisdom!"
"When you want future generations to make contributions, you must pass on everything you have learned and teach it to everyone, so that you can say that you leave everything to future generations, otherwise you will
It’s just raising pigs.”
"Your own existence is also an important factor in creating this era!"
"Moreover, careerists exist in all eras. The earliest one was Titing, the son of the Emperor of China. This is inevitable. Therefore, we must treat and face it normally, and stop and control it in a timely manner. As long as the people know what is right,
What is wrong is that the methods used by careerists to inspire people will no longer be effective."
"Besides, there is no shortage of food and drink here. People live very well. Some ambitious people came here in the past, but in the end they all failed. This has been verified by history."
The man was startled for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Yes, you are right."
"It's a pity that Shennong is really dead, otherwise it would be a good story if the three of us get together. I believe we must have a lot of truths and can communicate with each other."
Huang Di: "So you are not Shennong, then what are you?"
