Qi Bo nodded and said, "Okay, please come with me."
So Prayer took Zhang Daoling to a crop field in the mountain behind the village. Zhang Daoling looked at the crop field in front of him, and the seedlings inside were still green.
Zhang Daoling was a little strange and said: "It's already July now. It stands to reason that the crops are about to mature. Why are they still like this?"
This time not only Qibo was surprised, but also Yansheng said: "Sir, the method of sowing and cultivating the land depends entirely on God's will. When to plant and when to harvest, how can we mortals be able to control it?"
Zhang Daoling said in surprise: "Sowing in spring will lead to growth in summer, harvesting in autumn and storing in winter. Don't you know such a simple truth?"
"Sowing in spring and growing in summer? Harvesting in autumn and storing in winter?" Prayer was a little confused, and Yansheng even asked: "Whatis this? Why have I never heard of it?"
Zhang Daoling asked: "How many seasons are there in a year?"
"How many seasons?" Yansheng looked at Zhang Daoling blankly, "Sir, what does this mean?"
"" Zhang Daoling explained the meaning patiently, and Yansheng laughed when he heard the words: "Oh, my Taiyu doesn't talk about the four seasons, he will be four years old."
"Four years old? Tell me." Zhang Daoling said.
Yansheng said: "I, Taiyu, use twelve months as a cycle, and one cycle is a year. The beginning of the year is 'Bo Sui', followed by 'Zhong Sui', followed by 'Uncle Sui', and finally 'Ji Sui' .¡±
Zhang Daoling asked again: "Where is the calendar? Is there a calendar?"
?????????????????? But looking at the expression on Hansheng¡¯s face, it¡¯s obvious that he doesn¡¯t understand the word ¡°calendar¡±.
So Zhang Daoling asked: "How do the people of Immortal Court choose auspicious days?"
Yansheng suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out that this is what the young master is asking. It's like this. There are 'Taishi' in the Immortal Court and various divine palaces. Whenever an auspicious day is selected, the Taishi must be asked to make a selection."
When Zhang Daoling heard this, he finally understood.
It turns out that Taiyu Xianting is empiricist from top to bottom. What is Taishi? Taishi is responsible for recording all the major and minor events that happened in the Immortal Court and the Divine Mansion.
And the position of Taishi is also passed down from family, so it has been passed down for 100,000 years, and the Taishi family has accumulated enough experience and principles.
"So, when the people of Immortal Court should sow seeds, they also need to ask Taishi to choose?" Zhang Daoling asked.
Yansheng nodded and said: "Exactly, every year at the end of the year, the gods of various prefectures will ask Taishi to select the sowing date for the second year, and then announce it to the people."
Zhang Daoling nodded helplessly and said, "I understand."
Why Taiyu Xianting has not developed agriculture for 100,000 years? It is obvious that Taishi has a monopoly on the right to speak.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on those Taishi, I am afraid they themselves are not aware of this problem.
??And everyone in Xianting relies on Taishi to choose the date, which creates dependence.
Originally, farmers had been cultivating their own land. Even if they had cultivated the land for a thousand years, let alone a hundred thousand years, and passed it down from generation to generation, they could still understand these things and create a simple calendar.
But because of the existence of Taishi, the people only need to listen to Taishi's words and do not need to think about these things themselves.
And because the Taishi family has enough cultural accumulation and historical precipitation, they can easily extract the accurate sowing time from the harvests and poor harvests in history.
Thinking of this, Zhang Daoling already had an idea in his mind.
Looking at the green millet seedlings in the field in front of him, he said to Peter: "The millet seedlings are still green now, but in one month there will not be enough sunlight. Will they be able to mature?"
"Alas, we don't have the guidance of the Taishi. We have been trapped here for many years. The time has long been blurred. We can only sow seeds according to the weather"
"Whether it matures or not, this is the last seed of our village." Peter said, wiping away tears.
The villagers behind him also wiped away tears, and Zhang Daoling also discovered a problem.
"Why are there only old people, women and children in the village? Where are the men?" Zhang Daoling asked.
Upon hearing this, Peter Qi wiped his tears and said, "Oh, the young men and women have gone out to hunt. The old people, women and children stay at home and can eat less in a day. The remaining excess food will be provided to The young and the pregnant.¡±
"Yeah." Zhang Daoling nodded, glanced at the very thin women and children behind him, and then asked: "What about hunting now?"How was the gain? "
While Qi Bo was talking, everyone suddenly heard a burst of cheerful singing and chaotic voices coming from the mountains opposite.
The women and children suddenly became happy, and their eyes shone brightly.
Peter Qi said happily: "They are back, they are back."
Zhang Daoling and Yansheng turned around and saw a group of young and middle-aged men walking towards the mountain, carrying bows and arrows, or holding wooden guns.
Women and children rushed to meet the men and took the prey from their hands.
?? Qibo also walked over with Zhang Daoling and Yansheng. These young and middle-aged men respected Qibo very much, but they were a little wary of Zhang Daoling and Yansheng.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, these two are the envoys sent by God to inspect." Peter Qi said to the men.
Immediately afterwards, the men gathered together to discuss for a while, and then saw a man of medium height holding a hunted elk in his hands, coming to Zhang Daoling and worshiping: "Honor the Lord God."
Seeing this, Zhang Daoling glanced at Yansheng, who immediately stepped forward to take the elk.
Zhang Daoling smiled and said: "Okay, I will accept your worship on behalf of the Lord God."
This is the only large prey that the men hunt. The rest are rabbits, pheasants, hedgehogs and other prey.
But they are willing to dedicate this only large prey to the God, which shows their simple heart.
However, Zhang Daoling soon said: "The Lord God has an order, and I will return it to you as an enshrinement."
At this moment, Prayer and the men were stunned. Prayer stepped forward and asked, "Sir, is the Lord God dissatisfied?"
Zhang Daoling shook his head and said with a smile: "No, the Lord God remembers that your life is difficult, so he gave this offering back to you. He has received your thoughts. When you are rich in the future, it will not be too late to offer it to the Lord."
Yansheng returned the elk to the man. The men looked at the elk and knelt down one after another, shouting: "God is merciful."
"Everyone, let's get up." Zhang Daoling said with a smile.
After the men got up, they saw a young man asking: "Sir, I have a small matter that I want to ask God for. Is it okay?"
Zhang Daoling heard this and said, "What's the matter? Please just say it."
The man said: "Since this year, prey has become increasingly scarce. This time I waited for more than ten days to catch such a small amount of prey. I would like to ask God to show me the way and where to get more prey."
Zhang Daoling thought for a while and said: "This is a simple matter. You don't need to bother the Lord God. I can also tell you. However, you also need to promise me one thing."
The men asked one after another: "Please give me your instructions, Master."
Zhang Daoling said: "I want you to help contact the villagers in all the villages in the land of Tianhan, inform them about the opening of the Tianhan Divine Lord's mansion, and ask them to send people to the foot of Sui Mountain to worship the Divine Lord."
When the men heard this, they immediately looked embarrassed.
The man who donated the elk earlier said: "Sir, we are all laborers in the village. The prey we caught this time is only enough to feed the whole village for five days. If we leave, how will the old, weak, women and children survive?"
Zhang Daoling smiled and said: "This matter is simple. Don't rush to rest tonight. Just lay traps outside the village. I will have my own explanation at dawn tomorrow morning."
The men were puzzled, ¡°Why set up a trap outside the village?¡±
Zhang Daoling said: "You don't have to ask any questions, just do as I say."
At this moment, Uncle Qi also spoke, "Since the young master has said this, don't doubt it. Just do as the young master said."
When the men heard what Peter prayed for, they had no objections and all responded: "Yes." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
