From Chief to Ball

So the pea itself is also separated from yin and yang, the short is yin, and the tall is yang, just like this yin-yang fish is separated from yin and yang.Just like human beings, a man and a woman need to have sex to give birth to a baby. If the baby born has the same essence as a black, white bear, yin and yang fish, then each parent must give half of it.

The same is true for peas, the dwarf ones are pure yin, and both parents are pure yin, so the peas that bloom after flowering are also pure yin, and naturally they are all short.

As for the tall ones, both yin and yang exist in themselves, and each half is combined. It may be pure yin, it may be pure yang, or it may have both yin and yang.And those who are pure yin are short, and the yang with both yin and yang covers the yin, so they are naturally tall, so tall people are always more than short people.

After such a nonsensical explanation, he could give an explanation based on the black and white bear without any loopholes.

People like Shi Quan certainly don’t know about genes and the like, and it’s impossible to tell them about it, so they explain it in a general metaphysics-like way.

In about two days, the people in the agronomy class basically understood the problem, and based on this, they came up with a solution: when selecting seeds, they should choose the ones with large ears and many grains, because compared with In terms of small and small, big and many are yang, and vice versa are yin, so the wheat produced by the multiplication of wheat ears and large grains is generally large and numerous.

As for the issue of men and women, Chen Jian explained it in a similar way.For humans, from the perspective of soul and body, humans are divided into yin and yang, and they have both body and soul.But for the human being itself, it is another level of yin and yang.

Chen Jian thought about it for a while, and came up with an explanation that was in line with the fact that the status of men is rising and women's status is gradually declining, but they still retain the status left over from the clan era.

He fooled these people into saying that if the duality of body and soul is removed, the body alone is still another kind of yin and yang.

Women are pure yin bodies, so women have menstruation, just like the moon, and the moon phase is naturally yin to the sun.

The body of a man is yin and yang, so men have breasts, but they cannot feed offspring; men can cry but not as often as women; men are strong but cannot work infinitely; men have no menstruation, etc. .

Therefore, the children born are physically divided into male and female.

Someone asked Chen Jian, according to this principle, he is actually the most masculine man who can give birth to a man with great strength, no breasts, and no crying.Chen Jian said that it was like this, as long as men and men can have children, one of the four children born may be a man who is truly masculine and not feminine, but he also told these people that it is best not to try, because they cannot be born.

If this theory is put forward in an era when men are superior to women, it will be sprayed to death, because once it reaches that era, it will involve a question: Is it because of women or men?If he dared to say that having boys and girls is related to men in the era of stable patriarchy, he would probably be slapped in the face with two big mouths, then tied up and thrown into the water to drown.

But throwing out this nonsense theory at this time can avoid this situation. As far as Xia Guo and others are concerned, it is not long since they left the matrilineal era. The work of scooping paper and grinding gunpowder did not immediately fall to the bottom.

People with a blank sheet of paper walked out of the mountains, and when they were full and began to think about why and where they came from, they were instilled with pseudoscience by Chen Jian, and a set of black and white bears was constructed based on this yin-yang fish and black-and-white bear. It is not difficult to accept this view of the world that can be justified.

The only sequelae are that when the people in the agronomy class are thinking about breeding cattle and horses, they will occasionally wonder whether it is possible to make two strong stallions give birth to a stronger pure-yang stallion, but the problem is not too big, Chen Jian Also let them go to toss, anyway, can't get it out.

But he believes that there will at least be a positive guidance for future agronomic breeding and seed selection.

After laying the foundation and experiments of agronomy, Chen Jian has been thinking about using similar methods to fool the whole world.

Of course, this is not a materialistic and objective world, but a subjective world based on imagination and close to the real and objective.

For example, people's wounds are caused by some bad souls transformed into small insects that devour the body, which makes people's yang prosper and yin decline, resulting in festering from solid matter to nothingness. Bad souls, without the support of the body The world of the living is meaningless and bound to dissipate.

In his own opinion, this kind of explanation is pure nonsense, but in the eyes of those students in the medicine class, it is the truth. For example, strong alcohol can be ignited, and it is naturally the most yang thing, which can melt those bad souls, so the wound often Wiping spirits is not easy to purulent infection and the like.

It takes a long time to prepare, and all the cages need to be expanded to become a dualistic way of thinking. After incorporating the theory of contradiction, it becomes a deformed dual world.

Everything from the birth of a person, to the union of the soul and the body, to the learning of the living to make the soul stronger, as well as the changing of the seasons, the birth of the sun and the new moon, are all within this framework.

Some are close to the facts, and some are pure nonsense, but as long as a self-justified explanation can be given, leaving the most basic things for future generations to develop, this is progress in this era, at least better than the destiny All arguments need to be advanced, nothing can be accomplished overnight, and sometimes detours must be taken.

So at this time, facing the entire high-level of Xiacheng, Chen Jian once again started to flicker from the yin-yang fish to the black-and-white bear. First, he talked about the rough prototype of the world view, and then began to explain that the alternation of the sun and the moon is due to the mutual benefit of yin and yang: only the sun is not good. , Only the moon is not good, the two fight each other until they compromise, and each has half.

Not because it must be so, but because only in this way can we exist, maybe somewhere in the world is not like this, there is eternal night and eternal day, and there will be no people living there, even if life will be extremely difficult.

Then it talks about compromise and contradictions, and then it talks about how to govern a country and maintain the stability of the country.

"Any city is a fusion of yin and yang. Take other cities as an example. If the slaves are yin, then the slave owners will become yang, fight and compromise with each other, and this city will be stable. If the relatives want to let the slaves If you only work and don’t eat, the slaves will definitely resist, and the city will be finished in the end.”

"A city that will not be destroyed must have yin and yang harmony and mutual compromise and mutual acceptance. Otherwise, the entire city or even the entire country will be destroyed."

"I told some people here that the struggle between Yin and Yang has always existed. Some people think that the struggle between Yin and Yang means that people like Ge and Ze rebel against their masters and kill their masters, but this is not the case."

"Your relatives tie ropes to slaves, form an army, tie their hands, and want them to work more. Isn't this a struggle?"

"It's just that the relatives always win, and the slaves always lose."

"Over time, everyone thinks that slave resistance is a struggle, and tying ropes and branding are taken for granted, not struggles. It is wrong to think so."

"If you don't know the existence of this struggle, you can't manage the slaves well, and you can't exploit them better without them resisting. Knowing the existence of struggle means better exploitation for the master. You have to do this clear."

"Sunlight exists, but darkness cannot be seen. It does not mean that darkness does not exist. It is just because sunlight defeats darkness. That's all. But you can't say that there is no struggle."

"Because we have been winning all the time, it is dangerous to think that struggle does not exist. Of course, there are not many slaves in our Xia Kingdom, but is there still struggle? Let me say that there is, but Yin and Yang are no longer the masters Many people’s heads are still stuck on the shit between slaves and masters in other cities, so they can’t correctly understand what we will suppress, oppose, and exploit in the future, which is dangerous.”

Chapter 1 The Preview of the High Priest

"To put it simply, slaves are born slaves, and their children are also slaves. If they are treated as livestock, and one person manages ten livestock, it seems reasonable and easy, and everyone likes it."

"But you have to consider a problem. These animals can talk and think, so they will definitely resist. Not now, but also in the future."

"Furthermore, it's like capturing those Dongyi people as slaves. The reason is that they are Dongyi people, so they are slaves... Isn't this telling them that they are Dongyi people? Know, but if we say it all day, they will know. This is equivalent to giving them a reason to resist and unite."

A group of people did not object to this statement, they could understand what Chen Jian meant.In the previous Xia City, the most resistant people were the slaves of the grassland tribes.Because Xiacheng’s previous rules were very clear, as long as all slaves behaved well, they could obtain the status of slave peasants and become wild people, except for the group of grassland tribes whose appearance and skin color were completely different from those of Xiacheng people. The possibility of becoming a human being, and therefore the most violent resistance.

This can be regarded as one of the few history that these people can learn from history. Those rules are actually constantly reminding the identities of the grassland tribes. The two people who originally had conflicts of hatred may also unite and resist because of this identity recognition.

Some people have thought about it, the whole Xia City is squatting in the grass river without moving, just keep giving birth, and wait until the population increases before going east.

However, these people who were inspired by Chen Jian all hoped that they could do some great things in this life to leave a name for future generations, so the group of people from Chen Jian couldn't afford to wait.

Chen Jian looked at the crowd with a smile, and saw that there was no objection from them, and said: "When those Ge, Ze and others were not common people, they brought those workshop workers to fight for their children a chance to learn to read. "

"At that time, I had already started writing textbooks, but some leaders were very dissatisfied after reading them. They suggested that I write such a text, which is specially taught to the children of workshop workers."

"It's true: Although I am humble and low in status, if I work hard and do not resist, I can bear it when I am insulted, and I can move relatives and nobles to love me. The noble live in a brick house, and the bitch squats under thatch. Arrange them to be divided into ranks, the status is high and low. The lowly is the lowly, the noble is the high, the sun rises in the east and the sun sets in the west.

Hearing this, the leaders of the workshop workers who had been slaves and now became high-level officials in Xia City couldn't help cursing and clenched their fists.

However, Chen Jian did not name which leader suggested it, and said with a smile: "I just thought, is it really useful if this continues? At least in our Xiacheng and the few cities near Caohe It’s useless, you can see that Wei Yuan of the Acropolis was just a man with no surname who raised cattle before, so it can be seen that heaven and earth did not arrange these things.”

"Since people in the Xia Kingdom don't believe in these things, and I haven't written them in the textbooks, some things can't be the same as other cities. We don't believe in the idea of ​​high and low, so how can we convince Dongyi people? Have you been slaves for generations and never resisted?"

"So we have to give them the identity of a human being, but not a Chinese who enjoys treatment. And tell them that as long as they work hard, one day they will live the same way as us. In this way, when they resist, they will only think: I resist because I don’t have enough to eat and I don’t have land. It’s not because I’m a Dongyi, so I was born a slave, so I want to rebel against the tribes of Dahe.”

"They are not slaves, but they can still be exploited. What should we do? We can't treat slaves in the same way as before, but exploit them in a new way."

As soon as this was said, a group of people chattered and discussed, but there was no result after discussing for a long time.

Chen Jian drew a rectangle on the wall and said: "If this is the land of our countrymen, each household is divided into [-] mu. There are fallow land and grassland, and wheat, beans, and corn need to be planted separately, and the harvesting time should be staggered." Time. One family, one man and one woman, if you only plant a hundred acres of land, there is no problem, but harvesting is too busy. Because there are animals, plowshares, and cogwheels for farming, but harvesting can only be done with the sickle When the harvest is good, only one family and two people will cut four acres of land a day, and when the harvest is poor, it may be more."

He drew some small land near the big rectangle, and said: "The small land near here can be cultivated by slaves and Dongyi people who fled here. It can be rented to them, and we collect land rent. Five or six mu of land In name they can farm, and in name if they farm well, they can save money to buy more land, cattle and so on.”

"But we all know that as long as a little tax is added and they are forced to work, they may have 20 or 30 years to own a piece of land or cattle. gone."

"These small pieces of land belong to them, but most of the land belongs to us, so they need to rent our land and rent our farm tools. What should they do if they want to make a little money after they are busy with the poor harvest in their own fields?" ? It can only help us to harvest in exchange for some money. If we are lazy enough, we can also rent out all the land and only charge land rent."

"What's the difference between this and slaves? Slaves are animals, and those who rent and plant land are people, so their resistance will be much lighter. At least they have two, three, five or six acres of land themselves. They won’t resist when they are in the country. But there are no slave hairs, and they will resist with a little instigation, and we still have a bunch of people ready to suppress in the country, which will cost more money to support soldiers.”

"Now that there is so much land, can we give them more? Of course not. How can they have time to work for us when they plant too much? The people of the country will not be happy if the benefits of the people are not reflected. In the future, the land will be incomparable to people. If there are too many, they have less land, so they can only rely on renting our land.”
