I'm doing infrastructure around the tyrant [system]
Chapter 45 Culture Communicator
82. Uncle Tang's 'Pursuit'
Leaving behind the avatar purchased by the system to cover up his whereabouts in the Li Palace, Tang Yu set off with the caravan.
At this time, it is actually not easy to go on the road in a snowy day, but fortunately, the environment on the grassland is cold and cold, but in general, except for the vicinity of the snow mountain, the rest of the grassland has a dry and cold climate, and only a thin layer of snow has accumulated on the ground. Passing the area next to Licheng, the road is much easier.
The guards escorting the caravan were basically strong men recruited from farmers, who were able to endure hardships. Not to mention, the soldiers who followed secretly were all elite troops in the hands of Yin Yu. Once the task is completed, you can take a lot of money back to support your family, and you can eat enough every day and be full of energy.
Oh no, there is one exception, and that is Tang Lao Si.
Tang Laosi's body has been weak since he was a child, and he has never experienced any hardships in stealing, rape and slipping. After half a year, it is impossible for the other party to become a hard-working person immediately.
So along the way, Tang Laosi's life was a bit worse than death, crying and suffering all day long, making those who walked with him despise this rookie as useless.
However, Tang Yu knew that the days of rushing on the road were a bit bitter for his fourth uncle, but it definitely did not reach the limit of letting his fourth uncle.
Don't forget that he has been letting his family drink the nutrient solution of Buddy's World. Although that thing can't be eaten as a meal, it is specially used to supplement various scarce nutrients in the human body and lay a foundation for people. This bitterness only makes fourth uncle uncomfortable A little bit, but it won't toss the opponent's body.
Seeing Tang Lao Si crying every day, Tang Yu was very anxious. In order to get rid of his fourth uncle's bad habit of fearing death, fatigue and suffering as soon as possible, he had to continue to make bad moves—announcing that the caravan would Select a group of good performers as long-term guards.Especially the captain of each team, focus on inspection.
As soon as the news came out, the guards became excited.
Life in this era is too hard. The food grown in the fields can only keep people from starving to death. If you want to eat enough and keep warm, you can only find a way elsewhere. If you have a long-term and stable job, even if there is a certain risk, It's also fascinating.
But Tang Laosi was still not interested, squatting in the crowd, gnawing hard dry food, swallowing hard, while crying about the good life at home, the 30-year-old man was crying because he was tired, his eyes were really hot.
The people around him despise him extremely, but Tang Laosi doesn't care at all, these people know what a fart!
He is a man of good fortune, and he has never experienced any hardships since he was a child. When his family was poor, his older brothers and sisters helped him with heavy work. Dundu rice, bowls of big stewed meat, and snacks and toothbrush at the end, how can these people compare.
Even if the elder brother passed away now, his elder nephew is more capable and has gone to work in the government, and the family lives leisurely without worrying about anything.
But the tragedy is that this elder nephew keeps getting in trouble with him. If it weren't for the other party, he wouldn't be here eating hard pancakes in the wind and snow, and his teeth are about to collapse!
So poor, so unlucky.
Tang Laosi looked at the endless prairie full of sadness, when will he be able to go back, he wants to eat white rice, he wants to eat big stew, he also wants to eat Chao Lai Lou's beggar chicken, woo woo...
Wang Dali is in the same team as Tang Lao Si. In order to facilitate management and select more leadership talents, Tang Yu divided the guards into countless small groups. Wang Dali is the captain of their team.
Originally, Wang Dali didn't want to care about Tang Laosi. He thought this guy was too good-for-nothing. He was completely the kind of person who could do everything well and eat everything first. He couldn't figure out how this kind of person was recruited. Yes, it doesn't look like there is a background back door, because Tang Lao Si doesn't have any special treatment.
I heard that this guy came in because of his "brain", but Wang Dali didn't see it for the time being.
But for his 'excellent performance', in order to be selected by the caravan as a long-term guard, and to earn more money to support his family, Wang Dali felt that he could no longer let this guy who was holding him back no longer.
"Fourth Tang, this hard dry food is not delicious, right? You don't look like you have suffered a lot. You have a good life at home, don't you?"
Wang Dali took advantage of the rest and sat next to Tang Laosi.
Tang Laosi rolled his eyes at him.This is not nonsense, his thin but extremely healthy body, it is obvious that his family is the kind of rich family who eats white rice and big stew, eats two bowls casually for a meal, and has snacks and tooth sacrifices!
Wang Dali ignored his white eyes and continued, "It's a pity that you can only eat this kind of dry food now..."
Tang Laosi stared sideways at the other party, feeling that the captain was a bit annoying.
Wang Dali continued to be beaten and said, "But I'm different from you, I'll be able to eat meat every day soon."
Fourth Tang's eyes were puzzled, wondering if the captain was tired and stupid.Apart from the caravan led by the caravan, where else is there meat to eat?In the winter, they were on their way every day, and they had no time to hunt, and all the animals were hiding for the winter.
Seeing him take the bait, Wang Dali continued his efforts, "What's the matter, don't you believe me? Didn't you hear that the caravan said yesterday that it would select a group of us for long-term employment?"
Fourth Tang: I have heard of it, but what does it have to do with eating meat?
"Hey, it's no wonder that you don't know. You are also a little self-aware. You don't care if you know you can't be selected. Let me tell you, the caravan said that as long as we are selected, not only our wages will increase, but we will work with the caravan for a long time in the future. From now on, I can live a life of eating meat every day.”
"You can eat it now? Where did the caravan get the meat?"
"No, the dozen or so big boxes with the yellow flags in the middle are for sale, but now the caravan decides to reward those who are selected. I went to see them, and they are all high-quality salted pickles. Pork! Fat and oily!"
Gulu... Old Fourth Tang swallowed his saliva. His stomach hadn't been filled with oil and water for many days.
"I heard that the best people can go to the caravan wise man's carriage and eat better. If you are favored by the caravan wise man, you don't need to be an adventurous guard. You can get into the carriage and learn something from the wise man, and sit comfortably in the carriage In the [-]th team, a man named Li Si has gone, and now life is very comfortable."
rub!Fourth Tang stood up suddenly.
Wang Dali was taken aback, "What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm going to eat meat!"
Tang Laosi gave him a look of contempt, and suddenly became a rooster, picking up his spear and going on patrol in high spirits.
Since he has the opportunity to eat meat, how can he still eat these hard dry food?What kind of long-term guards go away, and he will resign after eating the meat, he is smart, and he will definitely stand out from this group of fools with strong limbs and simple minds!
Looking at his back, Wang Dali suddenly felt that this person needs a goal to live...
Tang Lao Si is a person who needs to be hung by a big cake and whipped to work hard.
Although it is necessary to show something, it is still tiring, but temporary hard work can be exchanged for long-term happiness, as smart as Tang Laosi, he definitely knows how to choose and choose.
Tang Yu was very satisfied to see that fourth uncle finally let go of his decadence and started to act.
As a teacher, you have to teach students according to their aptitude; as a leader, you have to discipline them according to their aptitude. There are no useless employees, only bosses who don’t know how to employ people. As long as anyone arranges their positions and uses the right methods, they can display their talents beyond expectations.
The grassland area is very large. The goal of Tang Yu's trip this time is to go directly to a few large grassland tribes to set up a caravan trade at one time. These tribes gather in the middle of the country, and they will not be able to arrive with a large amount of goods in a short time.
However, Tang Yu was not idle during the boring journey. Along the way, he used the detectors purchased by the system to detect the terrain, direction, characteristics, etc. of the road, and draw a topographic map of the grassland.
By the way, use the spirit mine detector that Wu Quan gave earlier to help the other party detect the spirit mine.There are many good things in Wuquan World, and Wuquan is a boss with a lot of points, so he doesn't worry about the other party not having points every time he trades.
Like Buddy and Du Yongan, they spent less time doing missions, and their points were robbed by a few teammates who died before, so they are not much richer than him.So Tang Yu resolutely decided that he must hug Brother Wu Quan's thigh!
In addition, it is also necessary to write a letter to the tyrant master every day.
Speaking of this, Tang Yu felt entangled and shy, because every time he wrote a letter, he was full of anticipation and miss.
He felt that maybe, possibly, he was really going to lose his position. Apart from worrying about the Grassland Project, he ran out with the intention of escaping, but within two days after he came out, he began to miss the man. Shangxin liked it, so he took his head off by himself.
Even though I have repeatedly told myself that I cannot fall, I must hold on, and I cannot fall in love with a tyrant.But when it was time to write the letter, he forgot everything, and wrote in his heart how he missed and acted like a baby, and he blushed after reading it.
What the hell is he doing? This idiot with a love brain is too stupid!
However, after being annoyed, Tang Yu still blushed and asked Yingqin to deliver the letter, and then waited for a reply with full expectation.
But I don't know that the men in Licheng are not much better than him. What I look forward to the most all day is when the hawks fly over. When they see the letters with handsome handwriting, their stern faces are like spring after the snow has melted. gentle smile.
"Take out the king's box."
After reading Tang Yu's secret letter carefully, Yin Yu would say this sentence every time, and then put the things about the boy into the box to seal it up like a treasure.
Seeing the master's actions, Ah Jiu and Ah Shi gradually understood the position of Young Master Yu in the master's heart.
********
83. A plan to fight fire with fire
With the terrain detectors purchased by the system, the caravan would never go wrong. After about half a month, they finally saw the tribesmen living in the grassland and arrived in the middle of the grassland.
The huge team immediately attracted the attention of the grassland tribesmen.
Upon discovering their tracks, the tribal leader immediately rushed over with his people and surrounded them with vigilance on his face.
After Tang Yu revealed the identity of the caravan and the purpose of the transaction, some of the tribes' eyes fell on the carriage full of goods, and there was a hint of greed, but they were soon stunned by the dark soldiers who came out in uniform. .
It was also at this time that the guards knew why they did not encounter any serious danger along the way, why the caravan dared to do business in the grassland, and it was because they had a government background!
"In the name of His Highness Qin, we came here to open up the grassland trade roads and suggest trading relationships. I don't know which tribe the leader is? Please lead the way and let us enter the king's tent to discuss carefully."
Tang Yu stood up, wearing the Yi Rong mask exchanged by the system on his face. He looked like an old man in his tens of years, which was somewhat convincing.
He only mentioned His Highness Qin, but did not directly publicize Yin Yu's name. Naturally, he was afraid that the news would leak out and ruin Yin Yu's dormant and hidden plan.
"Open up a business path?"
The brawny leader wearing animal skins and a shaggy beard showed surprise and joy when he heard this.
Tang Yu nodded while observing the other party's expression, "Yes, our king of Qin is benevolent, thinking that the tribes in the grassland are unrighteous for the people of the world, so he sent me to open up business routes and establish friendly diplomatic relations. At the same time as the tribe, it also brings back the fur to benefit the people of our Qin country."
These words can be regarded as watertight, not only showing benevolence, righteousness and friendship, but also not giving alms. The attitude of equality and mutual benefit made the tribal people on the opposite side feel very comfortable.
They are envious of the richness and beauty of civilized countries, but they are also self-contained. They don’t think that they are inferior because they are backward, and no one wants to be looked down upon by others. The grassland tribes advocate force and strength. Performance.
"Since it's a friendly friend who came from afar, it should be a grand reception. It's really impolite to meet you hastily today. Please, sir, set up camp and rest for a while. When I go back, I will report to Master Wizard that I am ready. I will come to welcome you to our prairie king's tent tomorrow. Please don't blame me, sir."
Although these tribal people are backward and barbaric, the leader speaks quite technically. It is obvious that he must be literate and have read a few books, and he has some knowledge in his stomach.
The grassland is only material, and some systems are backward. They have also evolved to the point where their wisdom is not as stupid as that of people in those countries. In order to improve the quality of life, they are also trying their best to learn and improve secretly.
"It's okay."
Tang Yu nodded, watched the other party leave, and then directed everyone to set up camp.
The people of these prairie tribes are also very smart. Although they are very yearning for the existence of business, it is impossible to take them back casually. Besides, although the leaders have great power, the real power of the prairie tribes is the master wizard in the mouth of the other party. The prairie tribes are Still being dominated by 'theocracy'.
After the tribal leader left, Tang Yu immediately called several people Yin Yu sent to him into the carriage to discuss the next course of action.
In terms of business, he plans to use the method of agency rights to let several major tribes in the grassland represent the sales rights of some goods.Because the grassland is someone else's territory, they can't take all the benefits, and they can't keep manpower here for the time being. The only commercial relationships that can be established are suppliers and sellers.
This is easy to solve, but their main purpose is to slowly invade the tribe's culture through commercial contacts, so as to lay the foundation for future recovery.
"It's okay to simply suggest trading goods, but it's not easy for grassland people to accept our culture. Over the years, they can learn our characters and knowledge, but they don't accept our system and etiquette. Someone once I thought about giving the grassland a feudal lord, but it was rejected by this side. It was also since then that the Seven Kingdoms chose to ignore the grassland and not communicate with the grassland. To a certain extent, they also joined forces to block the development here... ..."
The few people that Yin Yu gave to Tang Yu were all staff and think tanks with very good experience and knowledge. Everyone still had a very thorough understanding of the situation on the grassland.
It is actually very easy to deal with the prairie people. As long as you have supplies, the prairie people are absolutely willing to associate with you; but it is difficult to get them to surrender, because the belief of the prairie people is the gods, the divine power, not the imperial power of the king .
"So in addition to establishing business exchanges, the biggest problem we have to deal with during this trip is to solve——their Master Wizard."
Tang Yu nodded, very satisfied with the thoroughness of several staff members.
"Scholar, please clarify."
Several staff and think tanks respectfully asked for instructions. At first they might have doubted Tang Yu's ability because of Tang Yu's age, but after contact, everyone understood that the lord's arrangement of this young man for them was not an insult to them.
"Since they respect the divine right of wizards, then we might as well push the boat along. Wizards can use divine power to gain the respect of grassland people, and we can also use 'divine power' to subdue grassland tribes..."
Tang Yu slowly told everyone about his plan.
He admitted that his method was a bit of a bad idea, but if he wanted to take down the grassland tribes without bloodshed, he couldn't do it without a bad idea.
The people of these grassland tribes not only have a backward living system, but most of them are also very settled in their thinking. They have no culture, cannot distinguish right from wrong, and have no mature system of etiquette and rules.
So they believed in gods, and in their eyes, the leader was just a human leader chosen by the gods. Once the wizard as the representative of the gods said that the leader was useless, they could resolutely raise their swords at the leader of the tribe.
In other words, these prairie tribes are a group of religious people whose brains have been thoroughly washed. If you want them to submit and obey you, ordinary methods are useless, and you can only fight poison with fire.
"Those so-called wizards are just a group of clowns who can juggle tricks. They are not messengers of gods at all. I will find a way to expose the faces of those wizards and destroy their so-called status as messengers of gods; and what you have to do, It is to spread our religious culture to the grassland people.”
"what?"
Everyone was shocked and confused. They are not monks or priests, so why would they spread any religious culture.
And...wouldn't this be disrespectful to Buddha and Bodhisattva?
Although these ancient people were not completely brainwashed by some gods like the prairie people, they still held an attitude of awe towards the gods, and they were still very feudal and superstitious.
Seeing that everyone didn't fully understand what he meant, Tang Yu could only explain,
"I'm not asking you to really teach them Buddhist scriptures, pretending to be monks and priests to bluff, that's disrespectful to the heavens; I mean, I want you to use this excuse to approach them, and you can only talk to them after you get familiar with them." They talk about other things, otherwise those wizards will say that all the things we have done may be in vain in an instant... I will give you an example when the specific time comes, and you just have to study hard."
If the wizards and grassland tribes don't deal with the concept that they only recognize gods but not people, once those wizards say that they are devils sent by evil gods and other nonsense, their layout on the grassland will be completely destroyed.
"Then... I'll wait to see the scholar."
Everyone's concepts are vague and at a loss, they can only sit back and watch the changes.
"Okay, you should study carefully when the time comes. You will have to stay here for a few more months before you can go back. Ask me if you don't understand anything. After I return, I will rely on you on the grassland. Don't miss the master's plan. .”
Tang Yu didn't expect these people to understand right away, anyway, after he made a demonstration, these people would naturally know how to do it.
And the other end.
The king's account in the grassland is also conducting secret exchanges on the arrival of the caravan.
The tribal people are naturally happy about the opening of commercial trade. The grassland environment is harsh and supplies are scarce. They have long been greedy for things from the opposite countries, but the Seven Kingdoms don’t care about them at all. Apart from being able to quietly go to the border to do business with ordinary people If you click on a private transaction, you will go directly to the robbery.
However, the latter is too dangerous and the damage is huge. Under normal circumstances, it is possible to trade or choose to trade.
It's just that ordinary people sell them privately a limited amount of materials, which are only enough for the tribal power holders to use, and it is really difficult to develop anything.If this Qin State caravan is really willing to establish a long-term friendly business relationship with them, everyone will naturally applaud and welcome them.
Of course, the people of the grassland tribes are not stupid. This surprise came too suddenly, and they were not at ease.
"But why are they suddenly willing to exchange things with us? Ever since the leader of the grandfather refused to accept their title, the Seven Kingdoms have ignored us. Why are they willing to do business with us now? Or His Royal Highness Qin sent Come, they even have soldiers here, it doesn’t look like a fake private caravan.”
"Is there something tricky?"
"Don't care what's tricky, we're short of something, get it first, anyway, we don't agree to what they say afterwards."
"It's true, anyway, they can't come here to attack us. There are so many tribes in our grassland, it's enough for them to drink a pot..."
I was not at ease in my heart, but I couldn't bear the temptation of goods. Most of the tribes were more inclined to accept the establishment of commercial goods trading, because all kinds of materials on the grassland were too scarce.
But whether to tell other tribes about this matter is also a big problem.
As the leader of the Xia Tribe, Xia Ren is not willing to share this news with other tribes. If only their tribe in the entire grassland can obtain the goods from the Qin caravan, then the Xia tribe will become the largest tribe in the grassland in a short time.
But he knew that this was not something he could decide on his own. The final decision of the tribe rested with the results of the divination made by their lord wizard.
"The god expressly stated that all the tribes on our grasslands are his people. This is the hope the gods have brought to us to help us survive the difficult winter. We must not be selfish and ignorant of the gods' gifts. share."
With nervous eyes, Gu Teng, the wizard of the Xia Tribe, gave instructions after divination.
"Thank God for giving us the hope of believing in people's livelihood..."
In the tribal king's tent, everyone made a gesture of gratitude devoutly.
Although Xia Jie bowed his head obediently and put his fist on his chest to make the same gesture, but there was a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth, feeling sad for the ignorance of his tribe.
What the gods express is bullshit.
********
84. We are disseminator of "culture"
After the discussion between the two parties in the evening, Tang Yu saw the tribe arriving on time the next day. The other party had a warm smile and looked like a grand reception for the distinguished guests.
Tang Yu knew in his heart that these prairie people had a lot of small things in their hearts. They were not as brutal and simple-minded as they appeared on the surface, but these people were easy to deal with if they had brains. There is a saying that cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness.
In the situation where there is no way to directly rule the grassland by force, they need these grassland people to be smarter so that they can divide their power and strategy.
With the intimidation of the army soldiers, the grassland tribes did not dare to do anything to them rashly, so Tang Yu was naturally not afraid of entering the tiger's den.
Considering that they are an official caravan, the people of the Xia Tribe have indeed put away their thoughts of cheating and are ready to deal seriously.
Before arriving in the tribe, both parties wanted to know more about each other, so the atmosphere of the conversation was quite harmonious.
Tang Yu knew that the tribe receiving them now was called "Xia Tribe", the leading leader was called Xia Gang, and their wizard was named Gu Teng; there were two other big tribes in the grassland, working together to manage the middle of the grassland in a three-legged situation.
This Xia tribe seems to be very generous. They didn't want to monopolize the caravan's supply as he expected. Instead, they offered to open up trade routes until the other two tribe leaders arrived. They acted as if they were united in the grassland and shared weal and woe. .
Secretly surprised in his heart, Tang Yu didn't show it, only thinking about it secretly.
And Xia Gang over there also learned about Qin State's attitude towards the grassland from Tang Yu's mouth. It is said that the reason why Qin State's nobles like the rich fur and medicinal materials in the grassland is that they wanted to open a business. He came up with the idea of trade.
Although Tang Yu didn't say who this "His Royal Highness" is, Xia Jie was very tactful and didn't ask too much. They also knew about those kings and countries. The successor to the throne is chosen among the princes, unlike their side where divination gods Calling the shots, it is not surprising that His Highness figured out how to use the benefits of grassland fur medicinal materials to win over noble ministers.
However, Xia Ren is still a little puzzled, that is, the Seven Kingdoms have jointly blocked the exchange of materials in their grassland for many years, and Qin suddenly broke the agreement. Isn't it afraid that the other six nations will attack it?
Tang Yu has naturally considered this issue, so when getting along with the other party, his behavior and tone have an attitude of "I am not afraid of Qin being strong, and I will be the boss of the six countries sooner or later".
Looking at Tang Yu's performance, Xia Jie smiled and couldn't see any specific thoughts.
Tang Yu didn't care whether he really believed in him or not, anyway, he just put it off for the time being.
After Xia Jie arrived at the place, Tang Yu understood why the people of the Seven Kingdoms always said that these prairie people were uncivilized barbarians, and the prairie tribes were more backward and primitive than he imagined.
Because the way of life of the grassland people is nomadic, they have no fixed place of residence, and only find a place to stay for the winter in winter, so the appearance of the tribe is very rough and messy, and the tents they live in are not very gorgeous, simple and backward.
The clothing of the tribal people is almost dominated by animal skins, and only a small number of people and babies have cloth clothes.Most of the tools used are still made of stone and wooden sticks, and there are very few metals. Only metal weapons can be seen worn by those in power.
Of course, these kinds of things do not rule out the fact that the grassland people made it deliberately to hide their clumsiness, but as a whole, if it is not that the living habits and diet seem to be more advanced, they are almost the same as the primitive tribes.
To put it bluntly, Tang Yu felt that the grassland people seemed to have been abandoned by the times.
"Old sir, our lord wizard is in retreat today, and it is not convenient to meet guests. You settle down in the tribe first, and wait for the arrival of the other two tribe leaders, and we will discuss the business in detail. The Xia tribe sincerely welcomes the arrival of the gentlemen. In a few days, you can walk around and watch the tribe at will."
The leader of the tribe, Xia Jie, led them to the tribe's open space to camp and settle down. After a few words of advice, he left with a smile, leaving a few tribesmen to entertain them.
This kind of behavior seems to be friendly, but it is actually showing off. After all, they are an official team. A simple metaphor is "envoys of a great country". According to the status of the Xia tribe, the highest leader should come forward to greet them.
Now the so-called master wizard didn't come, even the leader left, and only a few tribal people with unknown identities were entertained.
Comparing the Xia Tribe with the Qin State, they are like tigers and kittens. How can the Xia Tribe have the confidence to beat them?
Tang Yu's staff and wise men frowned a little. At the beginning, they didn't set up their dignity, and they would definitely be restrained in the subsequent transaction negotiations.
"They just want to increase their own value and get higher benefits in the negotiation of the price of the goods. But they don't seem to understand that they need us, not we need them, it doesn't matter, let them go , let's do something else these few days..."
Tang Yu was well aware of these tricks of business means, so he paid attention to them, but he didn't pay much attention to them.
Since the Xia Tribe allowed them to move around at will, he would not be polite.
Let the soldiers and caravan guards camp and settle in the place provided by the Xia Tribe, and ordered everyone not to leave the camp for half a step without permission, and not to talk nonsense, Tang Yu took a few wise men from his staff to wander around the next morning. .
Indeed, wandering around, Tang Yu didn't do anything, but took people around to see the Xia tribe, and then chatted with the tribe's people.
I didn't do any restless behavior, and I didn't inquire about the secrets of other people's tribes. At most, I asked about everyone's living conditions and the mysterious wizards of the tribe. customs.
The people of the Xia Tribe couldn't figure it out, they didn't see what Tang Yu wanted to do, and he didn't violate the tribe's regulations. He looked normal, so they could only let him hang around in the tribe.
But only the wise men who followed Tang Yu knew what Tang Yu was doing.
Because before coming out, Tang Yu told them very clearly,
"Come on, let's go to class, carefully observe how I do it, if you want grassland people to accept us, you have to start with friends who have 'same interests'. I will teach you how to be a successful fool, ah no, Is the 'cultural' communicator..."
As a result, several staff members witnessed an experience that changed their lives.
Specifically, how did "Teacher Tang" teach them?Please throw away your three-view ethics first, and then do the following viewing.
I saw Tang Yu wandering around, wandering among a few tribal women who were chatting with a baby in their arms, and then with an amiable attitude, brazenly inserted into other people's chat topics, without any trace of misleading people:
"...Oh~, so that's what your wizards mean. It's really amazing that you can go out of your body and go to the temple to meet the gods. We don't have wizards over there, but there are similarly high-level people. We call those high-level people monks. And Taoist priests, they can pray for us and divination, but they can't cure diseases."
When it comes to the topic of gods, tribal people have always been very interested. They are full of disappointment with the real world in the hardships of life all the year round, so they can't help but look for various spiritual comforts, so they believe in gods that can bless them. A deity who enjoys blessings after death.
Tang Yu's interjection directly poked everyone's heart. He stated that monks and Taoists are not like wizards who can save lives, which made these tribesmen feel a little complacent in their hearts, so they relaxed their vigilance and chatted happily with him.
"Our lord wizard is the messenger of the gods in the world. He can do everything. Although you are richer than us, this is incomparable. Moreover, people who are healed by doctors cannot serve the gods after death. Only Those who are treated by a wizard will be favored by the gods after death..."
The people of the tribe stared at Tang Yu sympathetically. The theocracy of wizards had formed a deep-rooted thing in the grassland tribes. Everyone believed in the existence of the gods and what the wizards said.
This is the charm of religion. Don't underestimate the power of these wizards and those missionaries. There are many people who fool people with a few words and send them to death.
In the long river of history, religious culture is actually a very good existence. It is a cohesive force for human beings, a spiritual comfort, and a belief in survival.
But this premise is correct guidance, but often some people with unscrupulous intentions use it to achieve their own selfish desires. For example, the wizards in the grassland tribes are a group of unscrupulous magic sticks.
Tang Yu has a respectful attitude towards those who teach correctly, but he hates the magic stick.
This is simply misleading the children. The reason why the grassland tribes are backward is largely due to the existence of these people. Listen to this ridiculous theory that the cure must be cured by a wizard before they can ascend to heaven.
Tang Yu looked at the simple tribal people in front of him, and after silently smashing the villain with those magic sticks, he continued to speak, acting suspiciously,
"Really? Only those who let the wizard heal the disease can go to heaven after death?"
"Hmm! People who are cured by doctors will go to hell after death. They cannot be reincarnated because they have not been blessed by the gods!"
Everyone in the tribe nodded fiercely, with an expression of trying to save the lost lamb.
Tang Yu pursed her lips and stared at the crowd for a while before continuing to be puzzled.
"Then if a hero who has made great contributions to the tribal race, he is injured outside and has not had time to be treated by the wizard, will he also go to hell after death?"
"..."
The tribal people who have never thought about this problem are full of confusion.
Satisfied, Tang Yu geared up to start 'cultural' dissemination, using a tone of sharing secrets with friends,
"It may be that the rules of the gods we believe in are different. After death, reincarnation or hell is determined according to the merits of life. And do you know? In fact, we are all descendants of the two gods, Nuwa and Fuxi. , we... are the offspring of God."
"???"
The grassland tribes around who heard this all stopped and looked over in shock.
The author has something to say:-
Staff A: What is he doing?
Staff B: I...don't know either.
Author (hidden poking): Cultural exchange.
Leaving behind the avatar purchased by the system to cover up his whereabouts in the Li Palace, Tang Yu set off with the caravan.
At this time, it is actually not easy to go on the road in a snowy day, but fortunately, the environment on the grassland is cold and cold, but in general, except for the vicinity of the snow mountain, the rest of the grassland has a dry and cold climate, and only a thin layer of snow has accumulated on the ground. Passing the area next to Licheng, the road is much easier.
The guards escorting the caravan were basically strong men recruited from farmers, who were able to endure hardships. Not to mention, the soldiers who followed secretly were all elite troops in the hands of Yin Yu. Once the task is completed, you can take a lot of money back to support your family, and you can eat enough every day and be full of energy.
Oh no, there is one exception, and that is Tang Lao Si.
Tang Laosi's body has been weak since he was a child, and he has never experienced any hardships in stealing, rape and slipping. After half a year, it is impossible for the other party to become a hard-working person immediately.
So along the way, Tang Laosi's life was a bit worse than death, crying and suffering all day long, making those who walked with him despise this rookie as useless.
However, Tang Yu knew that the days of rushing on the road were a bit bitter for his fourth uncle, but it definitely did not reach the limit of letting his fourth uncle.
Don't forget that he has been letting his family drink the nutrient solution of Buddy's World. Although that thing can't be eaten as a meal, it is specially used to supplement various scarce nutrients in the human body and lay a foundation for people. This bitterness only makes fourth uncle uncomfortable A little bit, but it won't toss the opponent's body.
Seeing Tang Lao Si crying every day, Tang Yu was very anxious. In order to get rid of his fourth uncle's bad habit of fearing death, fatigue and suffering as soon as possible, he had to continue to make bad moves—announcing that the caravan would Select a group of good performers as long-term guards.Especially the captain of each team, focus on inspection.
As soon as the news came out, the guards became excited.
Life in this era is too hard. The food grown in the fields can only keep people from starving to death. If you want to eat enough and keep warm, you can only find a way elsewhere. If you have a long-term and stable job, even if there is a certain risk, It's also fascinating.
But Tang Laosi was still not interested, squatting in the crowd, gnawing hard dry food, swallowing hard, while crying about the good life at home, the 30-year-old man was crying because he was tired, his eyes were really hot.
The people around him despise him extremely, but Tang Laosi doesn't care at all, these people know what a fart!
He is a man of good fortune, and he has never experienced any hardships since he was a child. When his family was poor, his older brothers and sisters helped him with heavy work. Dundu rice, bowls of big stewed meat, and snacks and toothbrush at the end, how can these people compare.
Even if the elder brother passed away now, his elder nephew is more capable and has gone to work in the government, and the family lives leisurely without worrying about anything.
But the tragedy is that this elder nephew keeps getting in trouble with him. If it weren't for the other party, he wouldn't be here eating hard pancakes in the wind and snow, and his teeth are about to collapse!
So poor, so unlucky.
Tang Laosi looked at the endless prairie full of sadness, when will he be able to go back, he wants to eat white rice, he wants to eat big stew, he also wants to eat Chao Lai Lou's beggar chicken, woo woo...
Wang Dali is in the same team as Tang Lao Si. In order to facilitate management and select more leadership talents, Tang Yu divided the guards into countless small groups. Wang Dali is the captain of their team.
Originally, Wang Dali didn't want to care about Tang Laosi. He thought this guy was too good-for-nothing. He was completely the kind of person who could do everything well and eat everything first. He couldn't figure out how this kind of person was recruited. Yes, it doesn't look like there is a background back door, because Tang Lao Si doesn't have any special treatment.
I heard that this guy came in because of his "brain", but Wang Dali didn't see it for the time being.
But for his 'excellent performance', in order to be selected by the caravan as a long-term guard, and to earn more money to support his family, Wang Dali felt that he could no longer let this guy who was holding him back no longer.
"Fourth Tang, this hard dry food is not delicious, right? You don't look like you have suffered a lot. You have a good life at home, don't you?"
Wang Dali took advantage of the rest and sat next to Tang Laosi.
Tang Laosi rolled his eyes at him.This is not nonsense, his thin but extremely healthy body, it is obvious that his family is the kind of rich family who eats white rice and big stew, eats two bowls casually for a meal, and has snacks and tooth sacrifices!
Wang Dali ignored his white eyes and continued, "It's a pity that you can only eat this kind of dry food now..."
Tang Laosi stared sideways at the other party, feeling that the captain was a bit annoying.
Wang Dali continued to be beaten and said, "But I'm different from you, I'll be able to eat meat every day soon."
Fourth Tang's eyes were puzzled, wondering if the captain was tired and stupid.Apart from the caravan led by the caravan, where else is there meat to eat?In the winter, they were on their way every day, and they had no time to hunt, and all the animals were hiding for the winter.
Seeing him take the bait, Wang Dali continued his efforts, "What's the matter, don't you believe me? Didn't you hear that the caravan said yesterday that it would select a group of us for long-term employment?"
Fourth Tang: I have heard of it, but what does it have to do with eating meat?
"Hey, it's no wonder that you don't know. You are also a little self-aware. You don't care if you know you can't be selected. Let me tell you, the caravan said that as long as we are selected, not only our wages will increase, but we will work with the caravan for a long time in the future. From now on, I can live a life of eating meat every day.”
"You can eat it now? Where did the caravan get the meat?"
"No, the dozen or so big boxes with the yellow flags in the middle are for sale, but now the caravan decides to reward those who are selected. I went to see them, and they are all high-quality salted pickles. Pork! Fat and oily!"
Gulu... Old Fourth Tang swallowed his saliva. His stomach hadn't been filled with oil and water for many days.
"I heard that the best people can go to the caravan wise man's carriage and eat better. If you are favored by the caravan wise man, you don't need to be an adventurous guard. You can get into the carriage and learn something from the wise man, and sit comfortably in the carriage In the [-]th team, a man named Li Si has gone, and now life is very comfortable."
rub!Fourth Tang stood up suddenly.
Wang Dali was taken aback, "What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm going to eat meat!"
Tang Laosi gave him a look of contempt, and suddenly became a rooster, picking up his spear and going on patrol in high spirits.
Since he has the opportunity to eat meat, how can he still eat these hard dry food?What kind of long-term guards go away, and he will resign after eating the meat, he is smart, and he will definitely stand out from this group of fools with strong limbs and simple minds!
Looking at his back, Wang Dali suddenly felt that this person needs a goal to live...
Tang Lao Si is a person who needs to be hung by a big cake and whipped to work hard.
Although it is necessary to show something, it is still tiring, but temporary hard work can be exchanged for long-term happiness, as smart as Tang Laosi, he definitely knows how to choose and choose.
Tang Yu was very satisfied to see that fourth uncle finally let go of his decadence and started to act.
As a teacher, you have to teach students according to their aptitude; as a leader, you have to discipline them according to their aptitude. There are no useless employees, only bosses who don’t know how to employ people. As long as anyone arranges their positions and uses the right methods, they can display their talents beyond expectations.
The grassland area is very large. The goal of Tang Yu's trip this time is to go directly to a few large grassland tribes to set up a caravan trade at one time. These tribes gather in the middle of the country, and they will not be able to arrive with a large amount of goods in a short time.
However, Tang Yu was not idle during the boring journey. Along the way, he used the detectors purchased by the system to detect the terrain, direction, characteristics, etc. of the road, and draw a topographic map of the grassland.
By the way, use the spirit mine detector that Wu Quan gave earlier to help the other party detect the spirit mine.There are many good things in Wuquan World, and Wuquan is a boss with a lot of points, so he doesn't worry about the other party not having points every time he trades.
Like Buddy and Du Yongan, they spent less time doing missions, and their points were robbed by a few teammates who died before, so they are not much richer than him.So Tang Yu resolutely decided that he must hug Brother Wu Quan's thigh!
In addition, it is also necessary to write a letter to the tyrant master every day.
Speaking of this, Tang Yu felt entangled and shy, because every time he wrote a letter, he was full of anticipation and miss.
He felt that maybe, possibly, he was really going to lose his position. Apart from worrying about the Grassland Project, he ran out with the intention of escaping, but within two days after he came out, he began to miss the man. Shangxin liked it, so he took his head off by himself.
Even though I have repeatedly told myself that I cannot fall, I must hold on, and I cannot fall in love with a tyrant.But when it was time to write the letter, he forgot everything, and wrote in his heart how he missed and acted like a baby, and he blushed after reading it.
What the hell is he doing? This idiot with a love brain is too stupid!
However, after being annoyed, Tang Yu still blushed and asked Yingqin to deliver the letter, and then waited for a reply with full expectation.
But I don't know that the men in Licheng are not much better than him. What I look forward to the most all day is when the hawks fly over. When they see the letters with handsome handwriting, their stern faces are like spring after the snow has melted. gentle smile.
"Take out the king's box."
After reading Tang Yu's secret letter carefully, Yin Yu would say this sentence every time, and then put the things about the boy into the box to seal it up like a treasure.
Seeing the master's actions, Ah Jiu and Ah Shi gradually understood the position of Young Master Yu in the master's heart.
********
83. A plan to fight fire with fire
With the terrain detectors purchased by the system, the caravan would never go wrong. After about half a month, they finally saw the tribesmen living in the grassland and arrived in the middle of the grassland.
The huge team immediately attracted the attention of the grassland tribesmen.
Upon discovering their tracks, the tribal leader immediately rushed over with his people and surrounded them with vigilance on his face.
After Tang Yu revealed the identity of the caravan and the purpose of the transaction, some of the tribes' eyes fell on the carriage full of goods, and there was a hint of greed, but they were soon stunned by the dark soldiers who came out in uniform. .
It was also at this time that the guards knew why they did not encounter any serious danger along the way, why the caravan dared to do business in the grassland, and it was because they had a government background!
"In the name of His Highness Qin, we came here to open up the grassland trade roads and suggest trading relationships. I don't know which tribe the leader is? Please lead the way and let us enter the king's tent to discuss carefully."
Tang Yu stood up, wearing the Yi Rong mask exchanged by the system on his face. He looked like an old man in his tens of years, which was somewhat convincing.
He only mentioned His Highness Qin, but did not directly publicize Yin Yu's name. Naturally, he was afraid that the news would leak out and ruin Yin Yu's dormant and hidden plan.
"Open up a business path?"
The brawny leader wearing animal skins and a shaggy beard showed surprise and joy when he heard this.
Tang Yu nodded while observing the other party's expression, "Yes, our king of Qin is benevolent, thinking that the tribes in the grassland are unrighteous for the people of the world, so he sent me to open up business routes and establish friendly diplomatic relations. At the same time as the tribe, it also brings back the fur to benefit the people of our Qin country."
These words can be regarded as watertight, not only showing benevolence, righteousness and friendship, but also not giving alms. The attitude of equality and mutual benefit made the tribal people on the opposite side feel very comfortable.
They are envious of the richness and beauty of civilized countries, but they are also self-contained. They don’t think that they are inferior because they are backward, and no one wants to be looked down upon by others. The grassland tribes advocate force and strength. Performance.
"Since it's a friendly friend who came from afar, it should be a grand reception. It's really impolite to meet you hastily today. Please, sir, set up camp and rest for a while. When I go back, I will report to Master Wizard that I am ready. I will come to welcome you to our prairie king's tent tomorrow. Please don't blame me, sir."
Although these tribal people are backward and barbaric, the leader speaks quite technically. It is obvious that he must be literate and have read a few books, and he has some knowledge in his stomach.
The grassland is only material, and some systems are backward. They have also evolved to the point where their wisdom is not as stupid as that of people in those countries. In order to improve the quality of life, they are also trying their best to learn and improve secretly.
"It's okay."
Tang Yu nodded, watched the other party leave, and then directed everyone to set up camp.
The people of these prairie tribes are also very smart. Although they are very yearning for the existence of business, it is impossible to take them back casually. Besides, although the leaders have great power, the real power of the prairie tribes is the master wizard in the mouth of the other party. The prairie tribes are Still being dominated by 'theocracy'.
After the tribal leader left, Tang Yu immediately called several people Yin Yu sent to him into the carriage to discuss the next course of action.
In terms of business, he plans to use the method of agency rights to let several major tribes in the grassland represent the sales rights of some goods.Because the grassland is someone else's territory, they can't take all the benefits, and they can't keep manpower here for the time being. The only commercial relationships that can be established are suppliers and sellers.
This is easy to solve, but their main purpose is to slowly invade the tribe's culture through commercial contacts, so as to lay the foundation for future recovery.
"It's okay to simply suggest trading goods, but it's not easy for grassland people to accept our culture. Over the years, they can learn our characters and knowledge, but they don't accept our system and etiquette. Someone once I thought about giving the grassland a feudal lord, but it was rejected by this side. It was also since then that the Seven Kingdoms chose to ignore the grassland and not communicate with the grassland. To a certain extent, they also joined forces to block the development here... ..."
The few people that Yin Yu gave to Tang Yu were all staff and think tanks with very good experience and knowledge. Everyone still had a very thorough understanding of the situation on the grassland.
It is actually very easy to deal with the prairie people. As long as you have supplies, the prairie people are absolutely willing to associate with you; but it is difficult to get them to surrender, because the belief of the prairie people is the gods, the divine power, not the imperial power of the king .
"So in addition to establishing business exchanges, the biggest problem we have to deal with during this trip is to solve——their Master Wizard."
Tang Yu nodded, very satisfied with the thoroughness of several staff members.
"Scholar, please clarify."
Several staff and think tanks respectfully asked for instructions. At first they might have doubted Tang Yu's ability because of Tang Yu's age, but after contact, everyone understood that the lord's arrangement of this young man for them was not an insult to them.
"Since they respect the divine right of wizards, then we might as well push the boat along. Wizards can use divine power to gain the respect of grassland people, and we can also use 'divine power' to subdue grassland tribes..."
Tang Yu slowly told everyone about his plan.
He admitted that his method was a bit of a bad idea, but if he wanted to take down the grassland tribes without bloodshed, he couldn't do it without a bad idea.
The people of these grassland tribes not only have a backward living system, but most of them are also very settled in their thinking. They have no culture, cannot distinguish right from wrong, and have no mature system of etiquette and rules.
So they believed in gods, and in their eyes, the leader was just a human leader chosen by the gods. Once the wizard as the representative of the gods said that the leader was useless, they could resolutely raise their swords at the leader of the tribe.
In other words, these prairie tribes are a group of religious people whose brains have been thoroughly washed. If you want them to submit and obey you, ordinary methods are useless, and you can only fight poison with fire.
"Those so-called wizards are just a group of clowns who can juggle tricks. They are not messengers of gods at all. I will find a way to expose the faces of those wizards and destroy their so-called status as messengers of gods; and what you have to do, It is to spread our religious culture to the grassland people.”
"what?"
Everyone was shocked and confused. They are not monks or priests, so why would they spread any religious culture.
And...wouldn't this be disrespectful to Buddha and Bodhisattva?
Although these ancient people were not completely brainwashed by some gods like the prairie people, they still held an attitude of awe towards the gods, and they were still very feudal and superstitious.
Seeing that everyone didn't fully understand what he meant, Tang Yu could only explain,
"I'm not asking you to really teach them Buddhist scriptures, pretending to be monks and priests to bluff, that's disrespectful to the heavens; I mean, I want you to use this excuse to approach them, and you can only talk to them after you get familiar with them." They talk about other things, otherwise those wizards will say that all the things we have done may be in vain in an instant... I will give you an example when the specific time comes, and you just have to study hard."
If the wizards and grassland tribes don't deal with the concept that they only recognize gods but not people, once those wizards say that they are devils sent by evil gods and other nonsense, their layout on the grassland will be completely destroyed.
"Then... I'll wait to see the scholar."
Everyone's concepts are vague and at a loss, they can only sit back and watch the changes.
"Okay, you should study carefully when the time comes. You will have to stay here for a few more months before you can go back. Ask me if you don't understand anything. After I return, I will rely on you on the grassland. Don't miss the master's plan. .”
Tang Yu didn't expect these people to understand right away, anyway, after he made a demonstration, these people would naturally know how to do it.
And the other end.
The king's account in the grassland is also conducting secret exchanges on the arrival of the caravan.
The tribal people are naturally happy about the opening of commercial trade. The grassland environment is harsh and supplies are scarce. They have long been greedy for things from the opposite countries, but the Seven Kingdoms don’t care about them at all. Apart from being able to quietly go to the border to do business with ordinary people If you click on a private transaction, you will go directly to the robbery.
However, the latter is too dangerous and the damage is huge. Under normal circumstances, it is possible to trade or choose to trade.
It's just that ordinary people sell them privately a limited amount of materials, which are only enough for the tribal power holders to use, and it is really difficult to develop anything.If this Qin State caravan is really willing to establish a long-term friendly business relationship with them, everyone will naturally applaud and welcome them.
Of course, the people of the grassland tribes are not stupid. This surprise came too suddenly, and they were not at ease.
"But why are they suddenly willing to exchange things with us? Ever since the leader of the grandfather refused to accept their title, the Seven Kingdoms have ignored us. Why are they willing to do business with us now? Or His Royal Highness Qin sent Come, they even have soldiers here, it doesn’t look like a fake private caravan.”
"Is there something tricky?"
"Don't care what's tricky, we're short of something, get it first, anyway, we don't agree to what they say afterwards."
"It's true, anyway, they can't come here to attack us. There are so many tribes in our grassland, it's enough for them to drink a pot..."
I was not at ease in my heart, but I couldn't bear the temptation of goods. Most of the tribes were more inclined to accept the establishment of commercial goods trading, because all kinds of materials on the grassland were too scarce.
But whether to tell other tribes about this matter is also a big problem.
As the leader of the Xia Tribe, Xia Ren is not willing to share this news with other tribes. If only their tribe in the entire grassland can obtain the goods from the Qin caravan, then the Xia tribe will become the largest tribe in the grassland in a short time.
But he knew that this was not something he could decide on his own. The final decision of the tribe rested with the results of the divination made by their lord wizard.
"The god expressly stated that all the tribes on our grasslands are his people. This is the hope the gods have brought to us to help us survive the difficult winter. We must not be selfish and ignorant of the gods' gifts. share."
With nervous eyes, Gu Teng, the wizard of the Xia Tribe, gave instructions after divination.
"Thank God for giving us the hope of believing in people's livelihood..."
In the tribal king's tent, everyone made a gesture of gratitude devoutly.
Although Xia Jie bowed his head obediently and put his fist on his chest to make the same gesture, but there was a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth, feeling sad for the ignorance of his tribe.
What the gods express is bullshit.
********
84. We are disseminator of "culture"
After the discussion between the two parties in the evening, Tang Yu saw the tribe arriving on time the next day. The other party had a warm smile and looked like a grand reception for the distinguished guests.
Tang Yu knew in his heart that these prairie people had a lot of small things in their hearts. They were not as brutal and simple-minded as they appeared on the surface, but these people were easy to deal with if they had brains. There is a saying that cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness.
In the situation where there is no way to directly rule the grassland by force, they need these grassland people to be smarter so that they can divide their power and strategy.
With the intimidation of the army soldiers, the grassland tribes did not dare to do anything to them rashly, so Tang Yu was naturally not afraid of entering the tiger's den.
Considering that they are an official caravan, the people of the Xia Tribe have indeed put away their thoughts of cheating and are ready to deal seriously.
Before arriving in the tribe, both parties wanted to know more about each other, so the atmosphere of the conversation was quite harmonious.
Tang Yu knew that the tribe receiving them now was called "Xia Tribe", the leading leader was called Xia Gang, and their wizard was named Gu Teng; there were two other big tribes in the grassland, working together to manage the middle of the grassland in a three-legged situation.
This Xia tribe seems to be very generous. They didn't want to monopolize the caravan's supply as he expected. Instead, they offered to open up trade routes until the other two tribe leaders arrived. They acted as if they were united in the grassland and shared weal and woe. .
Secretly surprised in his heart, Tang Yu didn't show it, only thinking about it secretly.
And Xia Gang over there also learned about Qin State's attitude towards the grassland from Tang Yu's mouth. It is said that the reason why Qin State's nobles like the rich fur and medicinal materials in the grassland is that they wanted to open a business. He came up with the idea of trade.
Although Tang Yu didn't say who this "His Royal Highness" is, Xia Jie was very tactful and didn't ask too much. They also knew about those kings and countries. The successor to the throne is chosen among the princes, unlike their side where divination gods Calling the shots, it is not surprising that His Highness figured out how to use the benefits of grassland fur medicinal materials to win over noble ministers.
However, Xia Ren is still a little puzzled, that is, the Seven Kingdoms have jointly blocked the exchange of materials in their grassland for many years, and Qin suddenly broke the agreement. Isn't it afraid that the other six nations will attack it?
Tang Yu has naturally considered this issue, so when getting along with the other party, his behavior and tone have an attitude of "I am not afraid of Qin being strong, and I will be the boss of the six countries sooner or later".
Looking at Tang Yu's performance, Xia Jie smiled and couldn't see any specific thoughts.
Tang Yu didn't care whether he really believed in him or not, anyway, he just put it off for the time being.
After Xia Jie arrived at the place, Tang Yu understood why the people of the Seven Kingdoms always said that these prairie people were uncivilized barbarians, and the prairie tribes were more backward and primitive than he imagined.
Because the way of life of the grassland people is nomadic, they have no fixed place of residence, and only find a place to stay for the winter in winter, so the appearance of the tribe is very rough and messy, and the tents they live in are not very gorgeous, simple and backward.
The clothing of the tribal people is almost dominated by animal skins, and only a small number of people and babies have cloth clothes.Most of the tools used are still made of stone and wooden sticks, and there are very few metals. Only metal weapons can be seen worn by those in power.
Of course, these kinds of things do not rule out the fact that the grassland people made it deliberately to hide their clumsiness, but as a whole, if it is not that the living habits and diet seem to be more advanced, they are almost the same as the primitive tribes.
To put it bluntly, Tang Yu felt that the grassland people seemed to have been abandoned by the times.
"Old sir, our lord wizard is in retreat today, and it is not convenient to meet guests. You settle down in the tribe first, and wait for the arrival of the other two tribe leaders, and we will discuss the business in detail. The Xia tribe sincerely welcomes the arrival of the gentlemen. In a few days, you can walk around and watch the tribe at will."
The leader of the tribe, Xia Jie, led them to the tribe's open space to camp and settle down. After a few words of advice, he left with a smile, leaving a few tribesmen to entertain them.
This kind of behavior seems to be friendly, but it is actually showing off. After all, they are an official team. A simple metaphor is "envoys of a great country". According to the status of the Xia tribe, the highest leader should come forward to greet them.
Now the so-called master wizard didn't come, even the leader left, and only a few tribal people with unknown identities were entertained.
Comparing the Xia Tribe with the Qin State, they are like tigers and kittens. How can the Xia Tribe have the confidence to beat them?
Tang Yu's staff and wise men frowned a little. At the beginning, they didn't set up their dignity, and they would definitely be restrained in the subsequent transaction negotiations.
"They just want to increase their own value and get higher benefits in the negotiation of the price of the goods. But they don't seem to understand that they need us, not we need them, it doesn't matter, let them go , let's do something else these few days..."
Tang Yu was well aware of these tricks of business means, so he paid attention to them, but he didn't pay much attention to them.
Since the Xia Tribe allowed them to move around at will, he would not be polite.
Let the soldiers and caravan guards camp and settle in the place provided by the Xia Tribe, and ordered everyone not to leave the camp for half a step without permission, and not to talk nonsense, Tang Yu took a few wise men from his staff to wander around the next morning. .
Indeed, wandering around, Tang Yu didn't do anything, but took people around to see the Xia tribe, and then chatted with the tribe's people.
I didn't do any restless behavior, and I didn't inquire about the secrets of other people's tribes. At most, I asked about everyone's living conditions and the mysterious wizards of the tribe. customs.
The people of the Xia Tribe couldn't figure it out, they didn't see what Tang Yu wanted to do, and he didn't violate the tribe's regulations. He looked normal, so they could only let him hang around in the tribe.
But only the wise men who followed Tang Yu knew what Tang Yu was doing.
Because before coming out, Tang Yu told them very clearly,
"Come on, let's go to class, carefully observe how I do it, if you want grassland people to accept us, you have to start with friends who have 'same interests'. I will teach you how to be a successful fool, ah no, Is the 'cultural' communicator..."
As a result, several staff members witnessed an experience that changed their lives.
Specifically, how did "Teacher Tang" teach them?Please throw away your three-view ethics first, and then do the following viewing.
I saw Tang Yu wandering around, wandering among a few tribal women who were chatting with a baby in their arms, and then with an amiable attitude, brazenly inserted into other people's chat topics, without any trace of misleading people:
"...Oh~, so that's what your wizards mean. It's really amazing that you can go out of your body and go to the temple to meet the gods. We don't have wizards over there, but there are similarly high-level people. We call those high-level people monks. And Taoist priests, they can pray for us and divination, but they can't cure diseases."
When it comes to the topic of gods, tribal people have always been very interested. They are full of disappointment with the real world in the hardships of life all the year round, so they can't help but look for various spiritual comforts, so they believe in gods that can bless them. A deity who enjoys blessings after death.
Tang Yu's interjection directly poked everyone's heart. He stated that monks and Taoists are not like wizards who can save lives, which made these tribesmen feel a little complacent in their hearts, so they relaxed their vigilance and chatted happily with him.
"Our lord wizard is the messenger of the gods in the world. He can do everything. Although you are richer than us, this is incomparable. Moreover, people who are healed by doctors cannot serve the gods after death. Only Those who are treated by a wizard will be favored by the gods after death..."
The people of the tribe stared at Tang Yu sympathetically. The theocracy of wizards had formed a deep-rooted thing in the grassland tribes. Everyone believed in the existence of the gods and what the wizards said.
This is the charm of religion. Don't underestimate the power of these wizards and those missionaries. There are many people who fool people with a few words and send them to death.
In the long river of history, religious culture is actually a very good existence. It is a cohesive force for human beings, a spiritual comfort, and a belief in survival.
But this premise is correct guidance, but often some people with unscrupulous intentions use it to achieve their own selfish desires. For example, the wizards in the grassland tribes are a group of unscrupulous magic sticks.
Tang Yu has a respectful attitude towards those who teach correctly, but he hates the magic stick.
This is simply misleading the children. The reason why the grassland tribes are backward is largely due to the existence of these people. Listen to this ridiculous theory that the cure must be cured by a wizard before they can ascend to heaven.
Tang Yu looked at the simple tribal people in front of him, and after silently smashing the villain with those magic sticks, he continued to speak, acting suspiciously,
"Really? Only those who let the wizard heal the disease can go to heaven after death?"
"Hmm! People who are cured by doctors will go to hell after death. They cannot be reincarnated because they have not been blessed by the gods!"
Everyone in the tribe nodded fiercely, with an expression of trying to save the lost lamb.
Tang Yu pursed her lips and stared at the crowd for a while before continuing to be puzzled.
"Then if a hero who has made great contributions to the tribal race, he is injured outside and has not had time to be treated by the wizard, will he also go to hell after death?"
"..."
The tribal people who have never thought about this problem are full of confusion.
Satisfied, Tang Yu geared up to start 'cultural' dissemination, using a tone of sharing secrets with friends,
"It may be that the rules of the gods we believe in are different. After death, reincarnation or hell is determined according to the merits of life. And do you know? In fact, we are all descendants of the two gods, Nuwa and Fuxi. , we... are the offspring of God."
"???"
The grassland tribes around who heard this all stopped and looked over in shock.
The author has something to say:-
Staff A: What is he doing?
Staff B: I...don't know either.
Author (hidden poking): Cultural exchange.
