In the end, of course, Yin Lian didn't really encourage Ji Xiangjun to take her on a trip, and Yin Huai didn't really dare to pursue her. For the time being, the father and daughter reached a relatively tacit agreement to make peace. One pretended not to know that his daughter had sneaked away to another world - mainly because there was no way to stop it, and the other pretended that he had not threatened or intimidated his father - mainly because Because I have already made arrangements for the summer vacation, I really don’t have the time or mood to go out and play.
Rather than skiing or anything like that, Yin Lian is more willing to challenge herself and go to another world to create a snow mountain map or something.
Yin Huai didn't look back and told Yin Lian not to go to dangerous places. He turned around and started to order a cat bell for his daughter - the kind of time recording equipment that operates automatically, planning to secretly hide it in Yin Lian's belongings. , it will be clear whether he has sneaked out or not.
Yin Lian didn't know her father's plan, so she finished her dinner happily, and then quickly sneaked away while going to the toilet.
The Fengyu tribe has grown quite large, with the population growing from three digits to four digits. Most of them evolved peacefully from other tribes, but there are also a small number of slaves captured through small-scale conflicts.
Yin Lian has no mercy for these slaves. If you are an average girl of the same age living in a peaceful society, you may not be able to bear it after seeing this scene. But for Yin Lian, her world view itself is that of the jungle. Even in peacetime, in her opinion, it is just a soft skin, and it is still the survival of the fittest.
This does not mean that she lacks humanity - within the scope of conditions, she also hopes to make this era civilized, but for the current primitive background, for the Yu Fengyu tribe, being too civilized is equivalent to weakness, and is considered to be too weak. They cannot afford the consequences of being weak and bullied.
Therefore, slaves must still be slaves. Just as Yin Lian would not persuade the magisters to treat the church members well, she would not interfere with these people's treatment of the captives, because the deterrent and warning significance of such behavior is far greater than treating the captives well. That bit of mercy.
In fact, Yin Lian herself felt very touched, because when she came into contact with different worlds, although she did not understand these principles, she had never felt such a naked feeling of the reversal of good and evil. If you treat the captives well, it will make people feel that they are weak and there is no danger even if they are captured, which will lead to aggression and disputes. On the contrary, if the attitude is cruel, it will shock everyone and make everyone afraid to act rashly.
Of course, due to their racial characteristics, the Fengyu tribe is still inclined to benevolent, so although they will not show mercy to prisoners, they are not particularly cruel - at least they are not among the more cruel sides in tribal wars in this world.
Yin Lian had previously considered instilling some concepts of faith into them to facilitate future management. At first she thought about Confucianism, but later she felt it was inappropriate and considered Legalism. But after repeated reflections, she realized that the old Catholic missionary strategy was more suitable for this era.
Or, there is no need to stick to a certain denomination, "suitability" is more important.
It can't be too soft, nor too harsh. The focus must be "clear rewards and punishments" and "strict enforcement." However, Yin Lian cannot stay here permanently, so occasionally some "miracles" may need to be shown for mental deterrence.
This way of thinking can be said to truly regard oneself as a god without any hesitation. Yin Lian knew this, but he didn't feel ashamed.
In her opinion, in many cases, if a race has the protection of a "god", it is far better than not. The status of gods is sometimes like that of modern national leaders, who essentially perform management work. Yin Lian may not be a very competent god, but at least she is sure that what she is doing now is beneficial to the Feng Yu clan, and that is enough.
This time she appeared, still silently. The maid who enshrined the sacred box was the first to discover her, and she looked very surprised.
Yin Lian said: "I have something to see your clan leader."
Generally, whenever she appears, if there is nothing major related to the annihilation of the clan, the clan leader will definitely come to see her as soon as possible. While the maid went to report the news, Yin Lian took a look at the surrounding environment and found that the Fengyu clan had really changed a lot.
They built solid stone houses, and relatively mature fabrics appeared in the houses. The entire house basically has the prototype of later civilization. And for now, the offerings are getting richer and richer. Yin Lian cleaned up the storage props and found that there were rare gems inside.
In this era, most tribes did not have the ability to mine minerals underground, and many minerals were picked up directly from the veins exposed on the ground. Because the method is limited, it is also particularly precious. Although the basic living conditions are limited, there are not many things that can be exchanged for these gems, but this does not affect its rarity at all.
It's a pity that Yin Lian no longer lacks such beautiful stones.
She took away the various resources offered in the storage props, without classifying them for the time being, and then ushered in the leader of the Fengyu Clan.
Yin Lian was a little surprised when he saw the other party, and then asked the other party: "Where is your mother?"
The girl bowed to Yin Lian skillfully, and then said: "So that the goddess will know that my mother has returned to the earth during the last war."
Yin Lian was stunned for a moment, a little shocked.
Yin Lian naturally recognized the girl, she was the clan leader's daughter. The previous patriarch was not very old, and his daughter was currently only in her teens, maybe just a little older than Yin Lian. In fact, the former patriarch was probably in his twenties or thirties. Although he looked a bit old due to his living conditions and background, he was definitely not decrepit.
Yin Lian had some common sense in this area before. After all, she studied history and participated in archaeological projects. She knew that in ancient times, human life span was actually very short. Although legends often say that Shennong and Xuanyuan lived a long life, which seems unreal, this statement is actually more often thought to not represent a certain person, but the era when the tribe survived and became strong. But I know these things from the bottom of my heart without showing it.
To be honest, although the relationship between the people who had met face to face and had an intimate conversation a while ago was not very good, at least the other person was full of goodwill, even respect and admiration for me, and they died so directly, and even the news of their death was After the incident happened, he finally realized that it was a real blow to Yin Lian.
She doesn't shy away from killing people, and she doesn't shy away from fighting life and death. For a person living in a peaceful era, Yin Lian feels that she is already naturally cruel. But at this time, she discovered the fragility and softness in her heart - when she heard the news of the death of the former leader of the Fengyu tribe, she felt a little empty in her heart, obviously feeling a little sad for the other person's sake.
Yin Lian has always been a person who is willing to face his own heart, so after hearing the news, he directly showed this emotion to the girl.
She said: "My condolences."
The girl looked at her sorrow and suddenly said: "At that time...at that time...I kept calling your name. I kept...but you didn't respond at all. Mother lost a lot of blood, and we need you most. When the time comes, can't you come and help us!? In your eyes, are we not worth taking care of at all?"
After hearing this, the maid became very panicked and said angrily: "Clan leader!"
The girl patriarch paused.
Then she suddenly lowered her head and began to kowtow desperately to Yin Lian, shouting: "Please forgive me! I shouldn't have any resentment."
The maid said: "The goddess has given us a lot of things. She has given us bows and arrows, food, the skills to build houses and fabrics to withstand the winter. In the war between tribes, we already have a great advantage. , it was our tribesmen who had selfish motives and did things that hurt our compatriots! You should know how to be grateful."
Yin Lian was silent for a moment, and then said to the girl: "You are the clan leader now, right?"
The girl nodded.
Yin Lian said: "You are the leader of the Fengyu tribe, and you live with your tribe day and night. They obey your instructions, follow your will, work at sunrise, rest at sunset, hunt with bows, and dance around the fire. So. You think about the future for them, choose war strategies, kill the enemy, and obtain prisoners and loot."
"But if you are going to rely on me to complete these wars, are you also prepared to become my puppet from now on and follow my instructions?"
The girl said: "...We have always followed your instructions."
Yin Lian said: "No, so far, you have only prayed, and I have only accepted the offerings. Young patriarch, this is a fair and even beneficial exchange for you. But if you are not satisfied with this, you must give A more important tribute.”
The girl opened her mouth slightly and seemed to be restrained by Yin Lian.
Yin Lian said: "God is not your slave. He comes and goes when you call him. What do you want to pray for from me? Are you prepared to pay the price?"
The girl suddenly fell silent.
Yin Lian said: "I am here this time because I have something to explain. I feel that your recent offerings are not sincere, so I will make a new contract. You can accept or reject it."
The girl was stunned, as if she suddenly realized that her words and actions might have angered Yin Lian, but she suddenly knelt down again and began to kowtow, begging for Yin Lian's forgiveness.
Yin Lian watched her bend down and kneel there, but she didn't move for a long time. In fact, she was not angry, but felt a little confused at that moment. It was impossible for her to explain to the girl why she never showed up when the former patriarch died. In fact, if she could, she would definitely come to help if she knew about it.
But she is not really a god. Even if it is a true God, he may not be omnipotent and may not be able to answer prayers exactly when needed.
She just didn't expect that in this era, even if she was the head of a clan, the life of a matriarch would still be so short. She realized that even if she was living in front of her at this moment, the girl who was not much older than her might die in ten or twenty years, or even shorter time, when she was caught off guard.
Yin Lian's tone at that moment seemed to be stripped of emotion, cold and rational, and said: "Next, I need you to plant a special kind of seed. Among your current population, I need at least a thousand people to specialize in planting this kind of food. . This is a very special kind of food. A small part grown by one person is enough to fill the stomachs of many people. I want 80% of this food as the price for providing seeds. At the same time, the materials that need to be collected in the future will also change. "
