The wheat in the field is gradually turning yellow.
Both sides of the sandy river and the entire southwest of Shandong with a radius of hundreds of miles are a scene of harvest.
This has been four consecutive years of good harvests.
Silt, water trucks, rivers, land, and the people's original fallow tradition.
This greatly increases the output of the land.
Today, the yield per mu of the entire region has stabilized at three stones.
As a result, the entire area was prosperous.
Because the exploiters and oppressors have been lost.
People can now more than feed themselves.
Allow yourself to live a dignified life.
There is still a lot of free time.
Many people took advantage of the leisure time and learned crafts.
The most popular is carpentry!
Tianzun not only passed down sacred objects such as waterwheels.
Woodworking utensils such as saws, rulers, and ink fountains were also passed down.
The first woodworking tools ever manufactured.
They were once enshrined by the people and worshiped as gods.
Later, he was reprimanded by Tianzun: If the tool is not used, what is the use of it?
Only then did people begin to use these magical objects.
Like those first waterwheels built.
These magical objects have miraculous effects such as never wearing out, precision, and one-time molding.
Therefore, it is treated as public property by the people.
If any village wants to use it, it must go to Mr. Meng to apply for it.
Then pay three stones of wheat per day to the public warehouse set up in Taojia Village as a borrowing fee.
In addition to borrowing public property, you have to pay wheat.
Each village also needs to send 20% of its annual harvest to public warehouses located along the river.
These are all decided by the people themselves through public discussion.
The materials in the public warehouse are used for emergency disaster preparedness.
In recent years, the weather in Shashui has been good.
But there is a constant influx of immigrants.
These people fled from other places in Lu State and surrounding countries.
When I came to Shashui, I carried almost nothing.
All of them were in ragged clothes and hungry.
The food in public warehouses is food for resettlement and relief.
Today's sandy river stretches thousands of miles along the coast, and together with the nearby mountains and plains, it is so vast that it covers an area of more than 2,000 miles.
But the total population adds up to only a few hundred thousand.
This is because the population has increased in recent years.
Naturally, some are wastelands and some are places to resettle immigrants.
Humans naturally like crowds of people.
The more people the better!
In the past, the land in southwest Shandong was barren, the mountains and rivers were barren, the rivers were ferocious, and the mountain gods were violent.
Naturally, no one wants to come, even those who originally lived here are trying their best to escape.
But now, there is no man-eating river god here, and there is no land of man-eating mountain gods.
The mountains and rivers are becoming more and more beautiful, and the land is becoming more and more fertile.
Of course, it became a magnet attracting people around to migrate.
In the first two years, it was not obvious.
However, since last year, the rate of population inflow has increased.
This year, the population inflow has begun to increase dramatically!
This is because countries other than Lu have started war again!
Hundreds of thousands of miles away, Emperor Zhou of Heluo was captured.
Like a storm, it is constantly sweeping across the entire Central Plains.
The rituals collapsed and the music collapsed, finally reaching the third stage.
Even the immortals began to openly doubt and even criticize etiquette.
The war began naturally.
First, the small countries fought against each other, and those who questioned etiquette and those who supported etiquette fought fiercely.
Then comes the end of the great powers!
In the seventh month, the Chu army followed, and the Qi army attacked the Song Dynasty.
In August, Zheng and Wei fought against each other.
Compared with the battles between these big countries, the wars between several small countries named Ji outside the southwest of Lu are as funny as children playing house.
However, this is still a huge disaster for mortals!
The warring parties all fought with armies composed of monks.
There are even gods involved.
There is a river god who rolls up floods and devours the land without distinguishing between friend and foe.
A mountain god manifested his divine body and shook the earth.
The evil barriers in the world became more and more dense, and once covered the sky above the entire Nanzhan continent, forming a thin layer of haze-like barrier.
The immortals and gods in the upper realm felt their scalp numb and frightened when they saw it.
Faced with such a situation, the mortals in the lower world can only flee.
At this time, more and more people knew about Shashui through word of mouth.
It’s safe here, it’s fertile, and there’s a lot of land that can be cultivated!
the most important is……
There is no man-eating He Bo here, nor are there any superior immortals.
As a result, refugees poured in one after another.
Meng Bai had to take his retainers, plus the people brought by Mi Lu and Dou Yu, to the border to welcome and resettle the refugees.
This angered the warring parties.
How can I bear this?
We fought so hard, but you took advantage of us?
Is there such a good thing?
However, he was somewhat afraid of the State of Lu.
So he sent an envoy to Qufu to question him.
I only found out after asking...
The State of Lu could not control Shashui and the entire southwestern mountainous area.
When the information from Qufu was sent back, the kings of these small countries were frightened after hearing it.
The State of Lu can be considered a big country.
Are you helpless about the sand and water?
I heard that even He Bo and the mountain god were dead.
How can this be provoked?
Nowadays, although there are many karma and evil obstacles in the world, as long as they are not facing disaster, these kings still have the basic IQ.
Since we can't afford to offend him, we can only tighten the fence first to prevent all mortals from running away.
A melee outside the southwest border of Lu State ended inexplicably.
But the Shashui area also relied on this melee to absorb hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Countries stopped fighting, and Shashui gained population.
Win-win!
However, the situation in Shashui gradually spread as the melee ended.
Initially it was these small countries.
Then the surrounding big countries also discovered the strangeness of Lu.
Xu, Qi, Cao, and Song all looked over.
The various countries were surprised at first: Hey! After Zhou Gong, what happened to this?
Then he sent an envoy to Qufu under false pretenses.
On the surface: Oops, Lu Gong, I heard that your home is not very safe?
Do you want me, your Majesty, to bring down the rebels for you?
In fact, he just wanted to annex the land of Lu in a reasonable and legal way.
Then the envoys arrived at Qufu and were shocked when they saw Duke Lu.
Qufu...
It became a black hole.
Lu Gong's memorial could not be transmitted to the upper world at all.
Envoys from various countries did not believe in evil, so they also gave it a try.
Then I discovered that I really couldn’t contact the upper world!
Now, all fools know that the person over there in Shashui is probably not a Golden Immortal, but also an Immortal Lord at the peak of Heavenly Immortality.
The messengers knew it just by thinking about it.
Perhaps he is an ancestor of the Lu State, someone who offended a great power from the upper world in the past.
Now, taking advantage of the calamity, he has descended to earth to settle accounts.
How can you offend such a person?
One by one, they went home in despair.
Then he reported the matter to the king, but the kings of various countries did not take the matter at ease.
Of course, according to tradition, they still ordered someone to report this matter to the upper world.
However, the content of reports varies from country to country.
Moreover, because no one was sent to Shashui to see it in person.
Therefore, what each reported was almost entirely the envoy's own version of what he had heard in Qufu.
This is also due to cause and effect.
The rituals are broken, the music is ruined, and people's hearts are in confusion.
Even under normal circumstances, people who are deeply in trouble will be distracted by various other things and mislead their judgment.
However, I still don’t doubt it.
Even maintain a stereotyped impression about a certain thing.
By this time, it was already September.
It's time to say goodbye again.
Xu Ji sorted out what he had seen and heard in the past few months and his failed experience in the windmill project, then rode a buffalo and walked into the Crystal Palace, waiting to go home.
