There are many people like Gu Lu in Xu Fu's camp.
These people admired the kindness of the Qin people and were either captured on their own initiative or escaped secretly.
They would rather help the people of Qin, and just want to have three meals a day, and that is enough.
So... a very strange scene appeared in Xu Fu's camp.
When they came, they obviously only had a hundred or so people, but now there are nearly a thousand people in the camp.
The remaining people are all local natives.
These natives took the initiative to undertake various tasks.
Moreover, they are also actively learning the Qin language, and even visit the statues worshiped by the Qin people.
Xu Fu brought three statues of gods.
The first was the Emperor of Qin, the second was Prince Fu Yao, and the third was the banished immortal Huai Guzi.
The native people also worshiped devoutly and sighed with emotion all the time. They only regretted that they were not born in Da Qin and had no chance to be its people.
In addition to these natives who took the initiative to stay, there were also some natives who were also secretly in contact with Xu Fu.
These natives are generally timid and dare not leave their city-state directly, but they also envy the Qin people's wealth, so they always have the courage to contact them.
These natives exchanged the Qin people's steamed buns for the local corn tortillas.
To be honest, the tortillas don’t taste as good as the steamed buns.
But the Qin people had never eaten corn cakes before, so when they suddenly tasted them, they felt they had a different flavor.
In addition, these natives also gave the Qin people some seeds and taught them how to grow corn.
As a courtesy, the Qin people also gave the natives seeds of Sumai and taught them planting techniques.
So, both parties were very happy.
In addition, some natives like to come here to ask about the weather.
Qin people can often give them accurate predictions based on the knowledge they have learned.
As a result, these natives admired the Qin people more and more, and became more and more in awe of the gods that the Qin people believed in.
Later, I don’t know who started it. These visiting natives began to bring gifts to the gods of the Qin people, and even worshiped them. They were even more pious than the sailors.
The sailors have met Li Shui after all.
Although they admired Li Shui, they also knew that Li Shui also needed to eat, sleep, get a wife and have children, and he also had emotions and joys.
Banish the immortal, banish the immortal. Although he is an immortal, he has been relegated to the human world after all, so he has some mortal qualities.
Although it is enough to be looked up to, it is not always unattainable.
But these natives were different. They had never seen Li Shui, so in their imagination, Li Shui was as high as heaven and earth, omnipotent. Ever-changing and wonderful.
Soon, they compared each other and found that the gods they originally believed in seemed much worse than the gods of Da Qin.
What they originally believed in was the king of the city-state.
The god in the city now is Wu Gu Nuo.
But this Wu Guduo... doesn't seem to have any magical power.
In addition to drinking and having fun all day long, he also killed people and made sacrifices.
He can neither predict wind or rain, nor can he feed and clothe people.
Such gods... The natives didn't think anything of it before, but after seeing the gods of Da Qin, they had some ideas.
People have to compare with each other, and goods have to be thrown away. Some things really can't be compared.
This is true for humans, and so is the spirit.
So, some natives asked Xu Fu cautiously: "If we abandon the original gods and believe in the gods of Da Qin instead, can the gods of Da Qin protect us?"
Xu Fu nodded and said: "There used to be a Xiongnu country next to our Great Qin. This country was vicious and cunning, and did evil things."
"Later, His Majesty became angry and sent troops to destroy them in three months. The remaining people of the Xiongnu Kingdom all believed in the gods of our Great Qin. Now they live and work in peace and contentment, and live an incredibly happy life."
After hearing this, these natives yearned for it even more.
But some timid people asked: "What if we change our ways and believe in the gods of Da Qin, but the original gods want to punish us?"
Xu Fu smiled slightly: "The gods of Da Qin have boundless power. If you believe in the gods of Da Qin, the original gods will not be able to do anything to you."
The natives were delighted with these words.
Then the natives said: "Then... how can we believe in the gods of Da Qin? Can we just think about it in our hearts?"
Xu Fu thought for a while and felt that this was indeed a problem.
For some things, it is best to have a ritual. With this ritual, everyone feels at ease.
You say you believe in God, but how does God know? How do others know?
So Xu Fu began to discuss with his followers.
The attendant said: "This is simple. When Buddhism spread in Xianyang City, didn't there be a set of rituals? Just shave your head."
Xu Fu shook his head: "No. Buddhism emphasizes rebirth. After leaving home, he no longer recognizes his parents and ancestors, so he shaves his head as a sign of piety."
"That is not the case with immortality. It is often said in the banishment of immortals that immortality was born out of Confucianism. If we shaved off the hair of these people, wouldn't it be nondescript?"
The attendant said: "What should we do?"
Xu Fu thought for a while and said, "What is the biggest difference between these natives and us?"
The attendant said with some embarrassment: "There are too many differences. For a moment, let me find the biggest one. This..."
Xu Fu smiled slightly and said: "The biggest difference is that the clothes are different. People who believe in immortality should be like us Qin people, with their hair tied and left unknotted. Isn't that also a ritual?"
The follower's eyes lit up and he said, "That's right. They have their hair tied in the left fold and it's clear. Anyone can tell at a glance that they are the same as my Qin people."
So Xu Fu announced his decision.
The natives all cheered and expressed their willingness.
So Xu Fu dressed up thousands of natives Qiao Zhuang on the spot.
These natives were very happy, feeling that from now on, they would be protected by the gods of the Qin Dynasty, and they would no longer have to worry about having enough food and clothing, or being killed for sacrifice.
So, these people returned to their city-state happily.
I have to say that these people have too low awareness and too low sensitivity.
After they returned, their relatives and friends gathered around them and looked at their new hairstyles and clothes with great curiosity.
And these people were very proud to tell their relatives and friends that they had converted to the gods of Da Qin.
Soon, they received envious looks.
But they didn't notice that besides the envious glances, there were also other complicated looks.
Someone went to tell the truth.
Soon, Wu Guduo found out about this.
He suddenly flew into a rage.
In fact, he knew that the natives were secretly in contact with the Qin people, but he always turned a blind eye and listened to them, planning to catch them all in the future.
But he never expected that these natives would be so bold and secretly believe in the gods of Qin.
This shook his foundation.
Why does he, Wu Gudong, rule here?
Why does he eat so much meat and fish every day, while the natives don't have enough to eat?
Why can he kill the natives for sacrifice?
The reason is that he is the god here.
These natives believed in him.
If the natives no longer believe in him, then he has nothing.
His country will collapse in an instant.
As a result, Wu Guduo felt the crisis.
He immediately called a few people and ordered: "Arrest those traitors and sacrifice them tomorrow."
So the soldiers rushed out to arrest people.
Soon, there were bursts of crying in the city-state, and thousands of people were arrested.
In the prison, the natives were trembling with fear, as if they didn't know what to do.
Some people regretted their impulsive belief in the gods of Qin.
But there are also some people who firmly believe that the gods of Qin will come to save them.
These people were very calm. They sat cross-legged in the corner and silently recited the scriptures they had just learned.
"Two or three miles away, there were four or five families in Yancun, six or seven children, eighty or ninety flowers..."
These natives recited it very energetically. They recited it over and over again, as if they felt that they were protected by divine light.
In fact, they didn't know that what they were reading was the literacy textbook compiled by Li Shui, not some fairy scriptures.
But this does not delay their piety...
One day and one night passed quickly.
These people were tied up and brought to the altar.
Most people's legs went weak as soon as they stepped onto the altar.
There is a strong smell of blood here.
When those people were brought here in the past, they had a noble sense of mission to offer sacrifices to the gods.
Believe it or not, at least this feeling makes them less afraid.
It doesn't work anymore. Now these people believe in the gods of Da Qin and no longer believe that Wu Guduo is their god.
So they were extremely scared.
I don’t know who started it, but they recited the scriptures loudly: "Two or three miles away, there are four or five families in Yancun, six or seven children, eighty or ninety flowers..."
The contents in the scriptures gave them great courage, and their hearts gradually calmed down.
Xu Fu and others who were ambushing in the dense forest in the distance were very puzzled: What the hell? What are these people doing by memorizing literacy textbooks? And he carried it so vigorously.
Are the natives here... so eager to learn?
At this time, Wu Guduo had already ordered to chop off the heads of these people.
He looked at the trembling natives, and then said coldly to the poor people under the altar: "These people believe in overseas evil gods. Today, I am going to show you whether these evil gods can work." "
"I'm going to kill them and let them prove with their blood that those people from overseas are all liars."
The natives on the altar were trembling, while the natives under the altar couldn't bear to look at him.
They don't know whether the overseas gods work or not, but the food of overseas people is really delicious, and the clothes of overseas people are really warm.
The natives in the audience looked at the natives on the stage and silently prayed for them in their hearts: It would be great if the gods overseas were real. If it's true...then we'll believe it.
Xu Fu whispered: "It's almost time, go and get the person back."
The attendant agreed and waved, and the person behind him immediately jumped out. He ran towards the altar.
Originally, the entourage only selected about thirty people for training.
But unexpectedly, this time Wu Guduo arrested more than a thousand people at once.
Therefore, the entourage rushed out with all the sailors. There were not only sailors, but also natives who had just surrendered.
As a result, more than a thousand people descended from the mountain like tigers and rushed towards the altar.
Wu Guduo could see it clearly on the stage.
He pointed at the sailors and said: "Quick, quick, kill them."
At this time, the natives on the altar shouted excitedly: "The gods have appeared, the gods have appeared, we don't have to die."
This voice is so captivating.
First, their relatives and friends rushed to the altar one after another.
The situation suddenly became chaotic.
Wu Guduo scolded these people loudly, trying to calm them down with the power of the gods.
But it doesn't work. The natives who were tame in the past seem to be crazy today.
They rescued their relatives and friends, and more people even began to rob the palace of property.
When the entourage arrived with the sailors, they found that they no longer had to take action.
The natives here have revolted themselves.
Wu Gu'er and his prince were first squeezed into a corner and then pushed down.
After they fell, they never stood up again, and countless feet trampled on them, killing them.
These natives suddenly discovered that the so-called gods were also mortal.
They suddenly discovered that they had the courage to kill the gods they had always worshiped, and then have food and clothing, without having to wait in fear to sacrifice.
As a result, they became even more grateful to Xu Fu and others.
They dedicated the wealth they had just snatched to the gods overseas.
Xu Fu coughed dryly and said calmly: "Your Majesty and the Immortal are rich all over the world. They are not rare for these things. You can keep them for yourself."
Although the natives didn't quite understand Xu Fu's words, they also knew that Xu Fu meant that these properties belonged to them.
So the natives became even happier.
These people wanted to respect Xu Fu as the king of this place.
If it had been a few years ago, Xu Fu would have happily become king.
But now... Xu Fu discovered that this so-called grass-headed king is actually not interesting.
Xu Fu no longer has this ambition.
He smiled slightly and said: "In the whole world, there is nothing but the king's land, and on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers."
"Whether I want to be the king here is up to the Emperor of Qin to decide. But... I can temporarily act as the county guard."
"Now in accordance with the laws of the Qin Dynasty, I have made an appointment with you and others for several chapters."
Later, Xu Fu briefly talked about some laws of Qin.
Of course, considering the extremely low social conditions here, Xu Fu omitted a lot of complicated content.
Generally speaking, it looks like the three chapters of Pei Gong's agreement after he entered Guanzhong: those who kill will die, and those who hurt others and steal will be punished.
And even this simple three-chapter agreement was enough to shock the natives.
What? Is it the same for anyone? Whoever kills dies?
In other words, we can no longer sacrifice and kill people casually?
In other words, you no longer have to wait fearfully for death.
In a daze, these natives felt like they were in heaven. They yearn for Da Qin even more.
