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 broke 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. How would it be decent?
The people of Ji Li are descendants of Emperor Kuang, and the Great Witch Master has inherited the bloodline of Emperor Kuang, and 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 whose reputation spanned the entire mountains and seas, apart from the two emperors of Yan and Huang, 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 and Zhenmeng, and then from Guzhu to Fusang and Rixia in the East...
He is truly an emperor, supporting the entire "ethnic group"!
But to say that Emperor Kuang is more fertile than to say that his wives are more fertile. The three most famous sons are 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 prerequisite 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, and the Archangel... No, Big Birdman, let's call him that, he is the kind of person who means one thing, but Yumen don't like fighting, and land warfare is even weaker. Maybe this is why, The reason why the Yu man who sells second-hand goods in Shangqiu 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 Dongyi's "countries" are composed like this.
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 Central Plains governed a very large area, 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.
"Great Witch Master, 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 and 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 grabbed 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 Master 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 stop?
"Yinyinhu, the god of wind, is the great god who protects us. If we don't sacrifice to the god of wind, how can there be good weather last year, and how can those new fields be opened up? If we don't sacrifice, 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 Master, 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 for 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 already five fingers higher than last year.”
A wizard came up and spoke seriously, and put his fingers flat to indicate the water level problem they discovered in Minyuan last time.
"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 Lord Ji looked at the wizard and expressed dissatisfaction. The wizard almost spit a blood arrow into his face.
You are ridiculous about his grandmother, how can I still refute it?
Another wizard came up and "admonished": "Great Witch Master, we still feel that this matter of sacrifice can be slowed down?"
"Originally when we lived here, you led us to cultivate 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 serious. 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 southwest wilderness 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. The five fingers are broken, and floods occur frequently. The dam has 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 too strong words, and Witch Master Ji sighed: "I also want to control floods. In the past ten years, floods have occurred every year and farmland has been destroyed, so we can only continue to use earth and rocks to control 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. So 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 have good ideas, but what about the actual solution? No? You can talk without talking here!"
"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 that of Tianyu. In case of disaster, how about our Ji Li country send 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 every 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...!"
