Yangdishan learned the news of the Zhenling clan's defeat. All the Baoshan Zhenlings had retreated to Yangdishan, and ancient tragic songs began to sing from their mouths. This made the Yangdishan Wuyan Department feel a lot of pressure.
Although I already knew that Sanmiao was very powerful, I didn't expect it to be so powerful...
In the Wuyan Department, the leaders of the Tongjiang and Xilian clans met to discuss how to fight next and how to defend against it.
After Yangdi Mountain is Xiushui. Through the "roads" of two mountains such as Xia Mountain, you can reach the south of Xun Mountain, which is also called "Fuqianyuan" in the Central Plains and Sanmiao.
The southern fields themselves did not call themselves that. Of course, Shikiasan did not mean "superficial" in later generations, but refers to "a very wide wilderness with not deep water."
"Some time ago, the south bought a lot of mulberry trees from us and a lot of sandalwood from Zhenling Mountain. Recently, our people said that something seemed to have happened at the end of Xiushui.
There was a lot of movement, and the wild beasts in the mountains began to migrate to Yangdi Mountain..."
"Last time, the envoys said that the south was making weapons and armor capable of dealing with the Sanmiao."
"Three seedlings have been defeated in a row, and Zhenling has reached our doorstep with great momentum. Now only by uniting with the south... can we have a glimmer of hope of winning."
"Yes, if we unite with the South and want to protect our homeland, we must go to the South to buy some weapons."
After discussing and voting, several leaders decided to go to the south to buy some weapons. The Wuyan Department quickly summoned the leaders of the twenty-five tribes. In addition to the people responsible for receiving the population of Baoshan and Zhenling, the other tribal chiefs
, I have to collect some money...
However, the Yangdi Mountain tribal alliance all lives together. Because of the abundant products here, foreign trade is almost zero, and internal circulation is basically in the form of barter. Although everyone has friends, there are not many.
.
"Here, if the shells are not enough, would you mind giving me some beef and dolphin?"
There are tribal wizards who are short of money.
"That's okay, livestock is okay too... Or grain? Seeds? Anyway, if we lose, these will be gone."
"No! There's a war going on right now, so the animals need to be kept for food!"
"What are you talking about? If you don't give animals, how can they give you weapons for nothing?"
"Yes, if you lose the fight, what else will you eat?"

Huandou and the others originally planned to visit Xia Shan, but unexpectedly, when Danzhu heard that this group of people had arrived, he didn't even bother to drink water and immediately went to their residence.
"The emperor's son."
When Huandou saw Danzhu, he was very respectful, and Cang Shu was even more so.
As for Yan Long, he patted Danzhu on the shoulder, obviously having a good relationship with him.
"We have all seen that you have made great achievements in the south. I heard that you were involved in the large wooden tools on the edge of the river and the various changes here."
"When the emperor knows these things, he will be very pleased."
Danzhu smiled bitterly: "No, I'm afraid I'm going to get even more furious!"
Yan Long laughed, but then said: "That's because the emperor doesn't know yet what huge changes these new wooden tools can bring to the world's life and construction."
"What we saw is definitely much more real than what the emperor imagined."
Yan Long said that you don’t have to worry at all, there is no problem, uncle will take care of you.
Cang Shu said that he would tell the truth truthfully. As for Huandou, he didn't know what Xiaoyinyin was thinking, but he made the same promise as Yan Long.
But despite all the care, we are still working together as companions.
It's not yet time to actually determine the successor.
Because back then, the emperor went to look for Jie Que, asked Xu You, and later met Zizhou Zhifu. At that time, he also said that he wanted to support the world, which made many people in the city feel confused, but in the end they ignored it.
If this kind of thing is not left until the final decision, there is no need to worry too much.
"I have one thing, please help me."
Danzhu told several people: "In the south, I never used the name Danzhu, but had a pseudonym..."
"I understand, I understand, if a big shot comes to the south, and if the emperor's son himself is involved in a dangerous situation, once the matter is spread, the clan leaders of Dongyi Baiyue will probably be a little breathless and fall ill...
..”
"The emperor sent his son to the south for inspection. He didn't let the emperor say more about his name. It was enough to let the higher-ups know it. The people below will call you the envoy of Tao and Tang, or..."
Huan Dou agreed, then made a twist in his words.
"A Hong from Danxia Mountain?"
Danzhu's face instantly turned the color of pig liver.
But what Huan Dou said next, intentionally or unintentionally, made Danzhu instantly perk up and become serious.
"Of course, I don't know what you think of the Akakata clan's shamans..."
Said that he would be recommended to the Central Plains, and even hoped that he would become a candidate for the next emperor?
Danzhu is certainly not a fool.
Cang Shu and Huandou could ask such questions, it was obvious that Uncle Xi had not told them the matter.
In other words, they are not people who can "sincerely communicate".
Even Yan Long couldn't know.
"The Akakata clan's wizard? Ah, that's a good little wizard..."
"Actually, do you know that he is very good at controlling floods? This time, he is good at opening up mountains and rivers and so on..."
The topic changed very successfully, and the three big men looked at each other.
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Wen Ming finally saw Yu Zai, but this time he saw it from a distance.
The three big figures in the Central Plains need the person in charge in the southern region to make a systematic report and explanation on the current weapons manufacturing, the situation in the south, and the situation of Sanmiao.
The great wizard of the Xunshan clan came over. After a few days of heavy rain, the three important figures saw the great wizard of the Xunshan family arriving in person, and met them very politely.
Yu Zai followed the great wizard.
It has been raining heavily in the south for many days, and there are landslides on the mountain. Under the current situation, there is no way to carry out reinforcement and anti-landslide projects, and Yuzai suggested that after this incident, take a look at Xiashan
Just turn it into terraced fields.
Compared with other large-scale projects, terracing, digging mountain drainage ditches, and afforestation are the three most effective methods to prevent landslides in ancient times. Although this does not mean that landslides will not occur if they are implemented, but at least they are better than not being implemented.
...
The terraced fields suddenly touched Witch Master Ji's heart.
This is what Yuzai said last time, asking him to open terraced fields in the mountains if he gave up his land.
This is the solution given by Yu Zai. Although the yield of terraced fields does not have any advantage over plain farming, and the consumption of manpower is higher than that of plain farming, compared with the problem of flooding, terraced fields can not only prevent mountain disasters
, it can also prevent water disasters.
In the face of manpower and disaster, anyone with good brains should choose the former.
Of course, a side effect of terraced fields is that they cause serious damage to vegetation. However, the population in this era is too small, and there is no emphasis on protecting the environment. If you burn mountains and open up land yourself, naturally you will not tell others to protect the environment...
.
Protect an egg, and you will die if you continue to protect it. The first prerequisite for any life is self-survival. We can talk about other things later when we are able.
Wen Ming stood among the people with Chong clan and heard the proposal given by Yu Zai.
They said they were going to build some kind of road.
After meeting a big shot from the Central Plains for the first time, Yu Zai stopped talking too much.
Huan Dou looked at Yu Zai and smiled meaningfully.
