Zhang Hui was buried, and a small grave was built in the small courtyard. Just as his father said, Tai Ni did not cry.
But Lao Zhang ordered Tai Ti to find the young man who controlled the water immediately. Tai Ti still went against his father's wishes at this point. He had to bury his father before he could leave.
In this era, there is no coffin to bury even the dead of great people. Just like when Yu Zai asked the old patriarch, what rituals should be done when people die?
The old patriarch's answer at the time was no. If he died in the wilderness, the body would be eaten by animals and there would be no way to bury him. Even if he brought it back, it would just cover the body with dead leaves and rotten grass. The conditions would be better. You can use straw mats.
Only those who have shone for an era can be buried in mountains or hills after their death. For example, in the past, Emperor Ku, Emperor Zhi, and Shaohao were buried in a certain sun-facing tower after their death. There are nine hills in ancient times, which are the places where nine emperors died. In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, one of the nine hills, Taotang Hill, has not yet ushered in its death. Owner.
Because Di Fangxun...he is still alive, and it has not yet reached the time when he is called "Emperor Yao" by the world.
There was no time to be sad, and there was no time to inform others... Taiyi was gone, and he had more important things to do.
"Father, I'm leaving."
That was the last call. Tai Ti left the small house, and everything became quiet. There was no longer any anger or abuse from his old father. However, after leaving the house, Tai Ti started coughing violently. .
Coughing, tears came down.
"I'm not crying, I just coughed too badly."
The bullock cart was not moving fast, and Peng Zu was not in a hurry now. It was useless to get angry. He seriously reflected on Zhang Hui's curse on them before he died. Peng Zu did feel ashamed in his heart, but he was still looking for reasons for himself.
"Yes, Zhang Hui asked us Qi Refiners to help the Emperor and Regent make the right decision, because we live a long time, so I invite you to come and inspect the man who controls the water. I didn't say no. Let him work as an official, why would your father scold me like this?"
Peng Zu was still talking to Tai Ni on the bullock cart, and Lao Tai Ni said: "Who among them was involved in this matter?"
Peng Zu thought for a while and then said: "Zhaque...Shanjuan, Zhaque and our opinions are the same. Shanjuan is on the side of the regent and agrees to let that person hold such an important position."
Tai Chi sighed: "Didn't even Xu You express his position?"
Peng Zu said quickly: "Xu You has gone to attack Yaozhu."
Tai Ni said: "Then, there is also Father Chao, he is a hermit and has not shown up, okay! Then there are still quilts, Wang Ni, Fang Hui, the reputation of the three of them is higher than that of you and Shan Juan, Jie Que is just tied with them! At that time, the emperor thought about giving up the world to Jie Que. Now it seems that Xu You's evaluation of Jie Que and his persuasion to the emperor at that time were not wrong! "
At that time, Emperor Fangxun once thought about identifying Jie Que as a candidate for the next emperor, but he was stopped by his apprentice Xu You. Xu You told Di Fangxun that Jie Que was a sage in the world when he practiced alone, but if If you put him in the position of being the leader of the world, he will make a lot of things messy.
Taiyi said: "You people, Qi practitioners are not greedy for power in the world. Da Peng, if you are involved in this matter now, Fang Hui and the others will definitely be unhappy. You should have assisted the emperor." Well, if the new emperor is not wise, you should leave him; if the new emperor is very wise, you should continue to follow him."
Peng Zu hesitated to speak. Of course, Tai Ni knew that Peng Zu must be trying to find an excuse for himself. Peng Zu didn't even open his mouth, and Tai Ni knew what kind of fart he was going to fart - it must be garlic.
Talking sounds like farting.
At this time, garlic was only grown on a large scale further west in the Western Wilderness, near the Kingdom of the West, and it was a rare commodity.
But no matter how rare it is, what is released after eating it will still stink.
The mouth smells as bad as farts.
Tai Ni thought, Peng Zu would definitely refute himself like this: I think you are right, but I did not do anything wrong, because I think the emperor and the regent were unwise in this matter.
But Peng Zu didn't speak, and just said strangely: "I have a feeling that you should know what I am going to say."
"yes."
"Then I won't say anything."
The ox cart has been going like this for a while. The southern Shanxi area is basically one of the gathering points of the Tao Tang clan and the large tribes in the entire Central Plains Alliance. There are many tribes here, and the leaders of those tribes are all people of the Central Plains, and there are also some Those who are qualified to participate in the alliance meeting, although their role is only to vote by a show of hands.
When they saw Peng Zu, they all respected him. Another person on the bullock cart, some old tribal leaders, saw Tai Ni and quickly caught up with him. When they were young, they had seen Tai Ni who helped them control the water. The young tribal leaders looked confused.
The young tribal leaders asked the old leaders, since the old man named Tai Ti was a flood control hero in the past era, why didn't many people praise him?
The old leaders were very angry. How could no one praise him? Tribes around the Fen River have worshiped this ancient hero for three generations. But those of you who don’t live near the Fen River have forgotten it. It’s just his story!
Tai Ti spoke to the old leaders. Those old leaders were all about seventy or eighty years old. There had been no major wars in the past fifty years, and they happened to be the group of people who had thrived after the floods were controlled. , are people who have experienced from the difficult era to the current peaceful era.
"If the world doesn't remember me, that's a good thing. If people from generation to generation remember me and respect my descendants, that's a terrible thing. How can people without skills not rely on the glory of their ancestors?" I want to make progress."
"When I was young, my father said that I was a stupid bad horse, so he gave me the name Ni..."
"The world doesn't need the heroes of the past, it only needs the heroes of the future... Things in the hands of the old man are like sand in the river, they have been washed away long ago."
He said goodbye to the old leaders, and the oxcart drove back on the road, leaving the mountains and fields beyond Taotang. Now, along the way, old people came to deliver some meals, and among them were strange steamed buns.
Tai Ni learned that this thing was invented by the water conservator. The emperor was shocked by it. Hou Ji even went to see him in person. This soft thing was transformed from the wheat that was born with awns.
"This is a good thing. With this, even wheat can become a food that everyone likes. By eating this kind of food, the throat will not be cut by the coarse wheat, and people can be full and have strength. Only then can we work better.”
Tai Ti repeatedly looked at the steamed buns in his hand, thinking in his mind, how on earth was this made? Maybe Tai Xi should be more interested in this thing, but when he thought of the compliments his father said before his death, the old Tai Ti started to think again. About to laugh.
Without oneself, the broken ground of Taixi cannot be cultivated.
.........
The time has come to Beginning of Autumn. Dou points to the southwest. Beginning of Autumn means that autumn is coming, the plants and trees are beginning to bear children, and the harvest time is gradually approaching.
Unknowingly, another half a year has passed.
Yu Zai received a notice of a project, and Wen Ming came back riding the horse that Marquis Tuan dedicated to the emperor. Queen Mother Xi had already learned the progress of digging mountains, making ditches, and various construction methods according to the terrain. At least twenty percent is done.
That’s it, twenty is enough. One more point is a waste, and it’s not professional anyway.
Take care of it yourself first, then wait for professionals to do it later.
In fact, this is also a method. In the past, many people did this. Do a little bit first, and leave the uncertainty later to more powerful people in the future. Anyway, as long as nothing happens to you in this life.
Marquis Xuan had a good time with his little red horse. The horse had not seen its original owner for a long time. Of course, he was very happy after seeing Marquis Xuan. Wen Ming told Yuzai that the number one in Dizhu Mountain was If a waterway is to be dredged, it will be a "human gate" for future generations.
So the emperor asked Yu to go back and take a look at the construction situation to make sure there were no problems.
"If something goes wrong, Brother Zai..."
Wen Ming muttered to Yu Zai, saying that we had hung the wives and children of the stubborn villagers in the trees because of the surveyor incident, and now they hate us. If something happens to you this time, I'm afraid, in order to appease the people's anger, the emperor will hang you on the tree too...
"What are you doing! I don't have a wife! Who are you hanging on? You're hanging on me!"
Yu Zai was very angry. He was hanging on the wives of the surveyors and villagers, not on them. Why should he hang on himself instead of his own wife? You can't hang on yourself just because you don't have a wife. When will a man stand up? ?
Well, although this method was thought up to control the local villagers who like to cause trouble, Yu Zai himself admitted that the method was indeed a little violent, but it did not cause any physical harm to them, and it was also for the sake of smoothness. Construction!
"Want me to be hung from a tree unless the sun explodes."
Yu Zai and Wen Ming left for an on-the-go assessment. They rode horses all the way from the Luobei area to the Diazhu Mountain area. The journey was at least a thousand miles, but the little red horse owned by Marquis Xuan was exactly the same. A thousand-mile horse, driven by four hooves, consumes two kilograms of fodder per 100 kilometers.
And Yu Zai also saw what a true thousand-mile horse is.
Many times in ancient times, when a good horse was found, it was said to be a thousand-mile horse. Of course, thousand-mile horses were not that common. Although horses were said to be common, in fact, there were very few horses in history that could actually run a thousand miles a day. countable.
During the Zhou Dynasty, King Mu of Zhou had a thousand-mile horse. This was a real thousand-mile horse. At that time, King Xu Yan was making trouble in the Xuzhou area. The army of the Zhou Dynasty had just been transferred there. King Xu Yan was still talking trash. Unexpectedly, one day later, Zhou Dynasty King Mu rode the thousand-mile horse and galloped in front of him!
Really, I followed the IP address!
Coming to your doorstep soon!
Emperor Mu's horse-driving skills are still very good. After all, he can lead a group of troops to fight from the east to the west, travel everywhere and beat people. His physical fitness is still very good. King Mu of Zhou, who is at least in his fifties, may not have good health. His quality is better than that of King Xu Yan.
Moreover, the historical records of this incident did not say whether the horse was pulling the chariot. If it was... it would obviously be more awesome.
Of course, the other horse is the Red Rabbit Horse, which is even more well-known.
.......
Ruan Zai was knocked speechless. To be honest, when racing in Hongzhou, Ruan Zai was someone who did not fall off the chariot after all. He was still a C photo, but this time he sat on this thousand-mile horse. I almost fainted.
This horse was really too fast and too bumpy. Yu Zai never thought that she would feel motion sickness while riding a horse!
From gulping down a meal and leaving in the early morning, now Ruzai has vomited out everything he ate, and the stars in the sky are shining, which is the mocking gaze of his ancestors.
The horse was kicking and kicking, and the little red horse was also tired. He had run at least nearly six hundred miles for most of the day. As a descendant of Pegasus blood, this small distance could only make the little red horse gasp for breath. Only two miles.
Wen Ming was also a little dizzy, but some of the people of the Chong clan also rode horses. Unlike the C photos like Ju Zai, Wen Ming was at least a B photo. Of course, riding a horse and driving a chariot are different.
As an uncomfortable night passed, and he still suffered from motion sickness the next day, Yu Zai finally came to the emperor half-dead.
At this time, Peng Zu and the others were already here.
Taizi looked at this half-dead young man who had just arrived here after a long journey, and looked at it carefully, but his cloudy old eyes could not see clearly. He was taking a short rest, drank some water, and was trying to calm down. After arriving, we started to go to the "Renmen" construction area in Diazhu Mountain with everyone.
Peng Zu was about to step forward to speak, but was stopped by Tai Ni. The two old men had no presence among the crowd. At this time, the surrounding ministers also came over, and they all looked at Yu Zai in a strange way.
"I feel like a lot of people here don't like me."
Yu Zai looked at Wen Ming. At this time, everyone came to the "Renmen" construction area in Dianzhu Mountain. There was still a long way ahead, which could be successfully opened. After it was opened, the earth and stone embankments originally used to block part of the water flow would be Being peeled away, a large amount of water is directed to this gentler area to form a new body of water.
Renmen is the only channel through which boats can pass. The other construction area of Guimen was only dug for flood discharge.
Someone came up and asked Ruan Zai to talk about the concept of dredging and what should be done after dredging. Because Ruan Zai said at the beginning that opening three gates was only the first step in dredging, those ministers all looked in the direction of the platform. I hope she will be embarrassed.
Yu Zai finally noticed this old man, but he didn't recognize him. He just thought he might be some big shot and didn't pay much attention to it. He had already chatted and laughed with the emperor, so which big shot should he be afraid of?
Yuzai found a high place near the channel, stood up on a mound, and took a branch.
Mamazai’s class has started! Listen to me!
