Chapter 194 High-paying recruitment of water management talents
Regardless of whether the Sanmiao Alliance far away in Dongting can carry these black cauldrons, in the southwest wilderness, the people of Ji Li are extremely worried.
The dam collapsed again.
The heavy corvee work is endless and endless. Most people think that the worship of the Great Wild Wind God should stop for a while.
However, the great witch master of Jili Kingdom didn't think so. The most important thing in the country was to sacrifice to the army. If he said he didn't want to sacrifice, he wouldn't sacrifice. What kind of etiquette would it be?
The people of Ji Li are descendants of Emperor Kuang, and the Great Witch Master has inherited the bloodline of Emperor Kuang. His status is extremely noble, although his brothers are at least as many as half the mountain and the sea.
Emperor Kuang was a very miraculous Emperor of Heaven. As the third legendary Emperor of Heaven who was different from the two emperors of Yan and Huang, his reputation covered the entire mountains and seas. His descendants occupied at least half of the country in the mountains and seas, and his son and grandson were all important.
Sun Tzu, from the Central Plains to the Queen Mother of the West, from the Queen Mother of the West to Guzhu, Zhenmeng, and then from Guzhu to Fusang in the East, the sun sets
He is truly an emperor, supporting the entire "ethnic group"!
But to say that Emperor Kuang was more fertile than to say that his wives were more fertile. The three most famous sons were Yan Long, Di Hong, and Hei Te.
There are many direct bloodlines of Emperor Kuang in the mountains and seas. The Ji Li people are from the Ji Li family, which can also be called "Chongyin family", with the Ji surname.
"Great Witch Lord! Great Witch Lord! No more sacrifices!"
The Great Witch Lord is the name given to the wizard who serves as both the high priest and the leader of the country. Of course, the premise is that there must be a country. The difference between a country and a tribal alliance is obvious, that is, small tribes must unconditionally obey the Witch Lord, the monarch, and the parliament.
In short, even in ancient times, don’t bargain too hard.
Such small countries can be found everywhere in the mountains and seas.
For example, the Republic of Yu is a dictatorship, not the Archangel. The Big Birdman, let's call it that, he is the kind of person who is one and the same. However, the Yumen don't like fighting, and land warfare is even weaker. Maybe this is why, second-hand people are sold in Shangqiu.
That's why the Yuren who sells the goods can't beat the Qingqiu people.
After all, foxes are good at catching chickens.
As for the Qingqiu Kingdom, it has a system similar to a parliament. It is headed by the Tushan clan, and there are Su, Chunhu and other fox totem tribes to form a country. The Tushan clan is the absolute leader, but the Tushan clan must also listen to the opinions below.
Most of the "countries" in Dongyi have the same composition.
Therefore, the group of Dongyi chiefs and Waibibabu whom Danzhu met last time are these "kings". There are nine countries in total, collectively known as the "Nine Tribes of Dongyi".
In fact, it followed the governance methods of the Central Plains. However, the area under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains was very large, so the local and central governments were distinguished. It seemed that the central administration was only in the city of Taotang, but in fact the area radiated was still very vast.
"Master Witch, regarding our dam, I guess we can no longer repair it."
In Jili Kingdom, the chiefs of many small tribes, as well as some public officials of Jili Kingdom, tried to persuade the great witch master to stop offering sacrifices. If you continue to offer sacrifices, this place will be flooded.
"The Great Wild Wind God will also understand us. After all, this is for the sake of the people of the country."
The great witch master caught a mouse in his hand and ate it with a slurp. The mouse blood splattered everywhere, making him look just like a person born in the year of "cat".
"Understand what?"
Witch Lord Ji feels that this matter is very difficult. The group of people who came today must be because of the flood.
In fact, he himself was very worried, but how could the sacrifices be stopped?
"The God of Wind, Yinyinhu, is the great god who protects us. If we don't worship the God of Wind, how can we have good weather last year, and how can those new fields be opened up? If we don't worship the God of Wind, it won't work. Let's find another way."
Someone below retorted weakly: "But then it rained continuously and the dam collapsed."
Witch Master Ji still had a mouse tail stuck between his teeth. He frowned and said angrily, "Are you uncomfortable if you don't speak?"
The clan leader shrank his head.
"Great Witch Lord, we have calculated that this dam can no longer be repaired, and the wind god can no longer be worshiped. Although the work of reclaiming the lake to create farmland is going very well, the rainwater has been too heavy, causing Minyuan to continue to suffer in recent years.
The water is rising, the water level is rising, it’s five fingers higher than last year.”
A wizard came up and spoke seriously, and put his finger flat to indicate the water level problem they discovered last time in Minyuan.
"Do you think the rising water level is caused by the God of Wind? Ridiculous! As we all know, at the far west end is Tianyu Mountain. The rising water level below is the reason why the water level in Minyuan here is rising. What does it have to do with the God of Wind?
?”
"I'm just making an opinion, you can refute it!"
Witch Master Ji looked at the wizard and expressed dissatisfaction. The wizard almost spit a blood arrow into his face.
What you said about his mother is ridiculous, how can I still refute it?
Another wizard came up and "admonished": "Master Wizard, we still feel that this matter of sacrifice can be slowed down?"
"Originally when we lived here, you led us to open up fields and create new homes. This was a great thing. The people were rejoicing and jumping for joy for the new land. But in recent years, the floods have become more and more severe.
Frequently, the rain brought by the wind god pours into the great abyss."
"Whenever the Tianyu Mountains in the western extreme are slightly shaken, the vast wilderness of the southwest and thousands of river systems will instantly turn into a vast ocean."
"Originally, there was never such a flood in Minyuan. Ten years ago, the water level rose, and it only rose by one to two fingers in three to five years. But within ten years, the water level has risen by three to four fingers every year, and it has risen even more this year.
If there are five fingers, floods occur frequently. The dam is collapsed. If it is built, it collapses. The dam is connected to the cultivated land. When floods occur, food will suffer."
The wizard used a pertinent approach and did not use overly violent words, and Witch Master Ji sighed: "I also want to control the floods. In the past ten years, floods have occurred every year and the cultivated land has been destroyed, so I can only continue to use earth and rocks to control the floods."
Build new fields and build the fields high to avoid flooding."
"Water will always flow to lower places, so we built our fields, cities, and homes on the mountains. Isn't this why the corvées over the years were collected?"
"You said you won't build the dam this time and let all those doing corvee work go back to farming. What will you do when the flood comes? Are you going to be a duck in the water?"
Witch Master Ji clasped his hands behind his back and looked around at everyone: "You guys all have good ideas, but what about the actual solution? No? If you don't speak here, you can talk!"
"Squawking like a duck!"
A group of wizards and clan leaders looked at each other in embarrassment, but at this time, a clan leader stood up, carefully weighed his words, and suggested: "I heard that there is a method to stop water in the Central Plains, and the river collapses every year, no less than the Tianyu River.
In the event of a disaster, why don’t we from Ji Li State send out a few people to study in the Central Plains?”
"good!"
The Great Witch Master Ji frowned, suddenly clapped his hands, pointed at the clan leader and said: "You are right, we should send people out to study! Yes, we have been doing it for ten years, and this year is getting better and better.
Too bad!”
"Then let me go! This trip to the Central Plains, I need to bring back some experts in water control!"
