Nanqiu, Chifang clan.
Witch Master Ji has been squatting here for several days, and has basically figured out the life patterns of the Chi Fang Clan. Of course, what shocked and surprised him the most was the various tools and facilities of the Chi Fang Clan.
It’s not just the derricks in the salt fields, it’s not just the plows in the cultivated land, it’s not just the fans, the treadmills, the windlass, the canals, the waterwheels...
There are novel things every day. He can always see one or two strange, new facilities or tools every day. Of course, the two sundials also shocked him. This "advanced" method of measuring time is not only Only the country of Ji Li is lacking, but the entire mountains and seas are lacking.
"If the Akakata clan hadn't had such a small population, they would have been able to establish a country!"
Look, is this still a rural tribal household registration?
Look at yourself again, can you be considered a member of the same country? Are you considered a city dweller?
In this strong contrast, Master Ji felt ashamed. The production tools in the south are so powerful. It seems that the Central Plains and Southwest...
The Central Plains must be even more powerful! It is indeed the Central Plains!
Is the radiation zone so big?
Although Witch Master Ji knew that these tools were invented by Yu Zai, Witch Master Ji also knew that the Chifang clan belonged to a migrant tribe and had moved from the Central Plains. In the eyes of Witch Master Ji, the South was a small tribe from the Central Plains. Earth-shaking changes have taken place, so where is the real Central Plains?
Damn it, do the people in the Central Plains all fly into the sky and escape from the earth, plowing 30,000 miles of land in one breath?
"I heard that in the imperial capital, the southern abyss of Kunlun is three hundred meters deep. It has an enlightened beast with a body similar to that of a tiger and nine heads. It can look around the entire Kunlun... It turns out that the rumors that people in the Central Plains are monsters are not false... ..”
Witch Lord Ji was filled with emotion.
They were all born to a mother with two hands and one head. How come you Central Plains people are so showy!
Yu Zai: "No, no, no, people in the Central Plains all have one head and two eyes, not three heads and six arms. The one you are talking about is Nezha..."
Witch Master Ji didn't know who Nezha was, so Yuzai deduced that he was a wizard he knew when he was a child. He had a magic that could transform people into three heads and six arms...
"Don't think about Nezha anymore, let's talk about encircling the fields and building lakes..."
Ruzai decisively changed the subject.
In the past few days, after Yu Zai's ideological guidance, Witch Master Ji had roughly figured out what the problems in his country were.
"It must be God's will and the guidance given by the emperor who passed away in the past years. We can only resign ourselves to fate and treat disasters passively. But now, it is God's guidance that allowed me to find the Akagata clan and you!"
Witch Lord Ji sincerely praised Bo Yuzai.
This is indeed sincere. After all, in this era, there are too few talents for water management! Most people only know it but don’t know why!
Ji Liguo's problem is huge and is caused by comprehensive factors, but in the final analysis, it is the reclamation of lakes for farmland, which has further amplified the disaster.
So Yu Zai’s suggestion is to return the farmland to the lake.
The so-called returning farmland to lakes literally means that it is an engineering measure to restore reclaimed lakes or farmland transformed from silt in the lakes into lakes. Because inland lakes have the function of regulating the flow of rivers, returning farmland to lakes not only It is beneficial to nature, and it is also beneficial to ourselves.
"Ah! Then our fields... Our fields that produce a lot of grain now are all grown from the soil of the lake farmland. If the fields are to be returned to the land, what will our people eat?"
Although Witch Master Ji understood the dangers of this matter, to be honest, this sentence would make all his ten years of hard work go to waste, which was indeed too difficult for him.
Moreover, this kind of big project requires another round of corvee work. The people of the entire Jili Kingdom have had to do heavy corvee work every year for ten years. Now they are exhausted physically and mentally. If this effort is not successful, I am afraid this country will collapse. .
From fighting for land with water to making way for water?
Ruanzai stared at Witch Master Ji, while Chi Songzi also looked at him with interest.
"Old Ji, didn't I tell you that only by giving up can you gain something! Didn't you say that finding Yuzai was the guidance of God and the will of Emperor Kuang? Then you should 'resign yourself to fate'!"
Witch Master Ji twitched the corner of his mouth, held it in for a long time, and said something.
"Everything can be left to fate, but this farmland...his mother's, man can defeat God!"
After listening to the translation, Yu Zai almost sprayed a mouthful of salt water on his face.
Co-authored, this is really a standard ancient Chinese!
While eating and watching the sky, I kept saying that I was resigned to fate, but once it came to the issue of food and life, then screw it all, man will conquer nature!
The left eye will jump to wealth, and the right eye will jump to disaster. If the left eye jumps today, it's a good thing, let it be fate! If the right eye jumps tomorrow, it means bad things, screw it, man will conquer heaven!
"It seems like someone has done this before!"
Yu Zai's memory was not wrong. The first person to do such a thing was Jiang Ziya.
When King Wu was conquering Zhou, King Wu used tortoise bones and yarrow to divine several hexagrams, and found that they were all very ominous. Then, just as he was about to set off, he suddenly encountered strong winds and thunderstorms, so the morale of the army was suddenly weakened. King Wu continued to predict and it was still unlucky. At this time, Jiang Ziya came out, uttered that eternal famous saying, and created an eternally famous scene!
Grandpa Jiang grabbed the yarrow and broke it, then trampled the turtle shell to pieces with his feet. He shouted to everyone: "The rotten bones of the turtle shell and the dead leaves of yarrow, how can you predict good or bad luck!"
Then the most spectacular thing happened when the army continued to advance eastward. Suddenly it became dark, sand and rocks flew, and a strong wind overturned King Wu's chariot and split it into three pieces. King Wu changed his horse and moved forward, but unfortunately it started to thunder again. The thunder was so loud that it killed King Wu's horse. Worse yet, it rained heavily for three consecutive days!
But the wise grandpa Jiang Ziya said!
"The chariot broke into pieces, which indicates that we will divide our troops into three groups. The horse was shocked to death. This is because God wants the king to change the horse! The reason why it rained for three days is because God asked us to rest for three days, and then hurry up and hurry up!"
Damn it, 666, Lao Jiang, the first person in reading comprehension in five thousand years! It would be a shame not to invite you to take the college entrance examination.
Yuzai couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he thought of this incident.
"But you are the one who can conquer the sky. You can't win like this... How can you do it by fooling around? The relationship between man and heaven and earth is dynamic, not static..."
Some of the words that came out of Yuzai's mouth made Chisongzi a little stunned.
Is the relationship between man and heaven and earth dynamic rather than static?
The way Chisongzi looked at Yu Zai was a little different. This statement was very "moral".
Yes, Taoism.

"In the sixty-seventh year of Emperor Tao's reign in the Tang Dynasty, the great cold passed and the beginning of spring arrived."
"The Big Dipper points to Yin, the beginning of the year."
"There are people from the country of Ji Li who came east from the wilderness in the southwest. They want to go to the Central Plains and ask for a way to level the water. They stop at the Nanqiu and find a way to return the farmland to the lake..."
"At the beginning of the spring of the sixty-seventh year of Emperor Tao's reign, Lord Ji Li visited Nanqiu. He met Chifang's concubine and asked where he was."
