Mountains and seas can be flat

The civil strife in Zujiang was quite peaceful in terms of results, and no one died during it.The Grand Master Zu Jiang, the Chief Xingji, and the former high-ranking regiment leaders of the clan were all imprisoned.The big lynx was also restrained by the nine-tailed fox, and followed her listlessly every day.

The upper class of Zujiang was almost wiped out. These nobles were only three generations ago. Their ancestors fought hard, took on heavy production tasks, or worked hard to develop the art of taming animals. All kinds of hard work were exchanged.The so-called title of Nvzu is to reward those stalwart women who have the courage to overcome natural and physical difficulties and establish a country on the Kunlun Snowy Region.This was a feat that even eclipsed God's will.

However, the times are different, decades later, they have forgotten the essence of their ancestors, lost their eyes to the wealth accumulated by searching for people's fat and people's anointing, became lazy, unenterprising, more greedy or whimsical, and eventually led to their downfall.

Although Fang Zheng wanted to take Zifeng to Shoutong Mountain immediately, but there was an important place for Yu Yi, and he went there foolishly without knowing anything, and didn't know what to look for, but it would delay more time.He had to track down the envoys of Yu Yi to collect clues.

The envoy of Yu Yi disappeared, and Fang Zheng immediately thought of using Zu Jiang's intelligence network to track it down, but he had to clean up Zu Jiang's mess first.

Due to emotion and reason, things have evolved to this point. Although it is not within Fang Zheng's plan, it is not far from his original idea.Witnessing all kinds of chaos, Fang Zheng couldn't let it go, he had to make some arrangements first.Otherwise the situation will get out of control.

That Qiongqi was chewed by thousands of Ran Yi in the icy lake for a long time, finally struggled to get up, and ran down the river to the lower reaches of the rift valley.Most of its body has been petrified, and it has been gnawed in many places, but it has not completely lost its mobility.Downstream of that rift valley is the steep river gorge of Kunlun Mountains, which cannot be reached by humans. It is not known where this Qiongqi was washed along the torrent.Just like that sassafras, although they disappeared temporarily, who knows if they will wander into crowded settlements one day and cause huge disasters.

Whether public or private, he must rescue Xing Zifeng and really get rid of that monster.

Zifeng's life is precious, but for the time being, the dagger is stuck in his heart, and the two little golden lizards are also healing his wounds day and night, and the insects in his heart seem to have been eaten clean.Fang Zheng fed him precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and ganoderma every day.Thinking about it, he could only suspend his breath for the time being. Even if he couldn't track down those Yu Yi envoys, at least he had to use Zu Jiang's huge intelligence network to find a way to safely enter Shoutong Mountain.

On the Qinglongling side of the Hua nationality, Fang Zheng hasn't been back for a long time, and he is very worried.In addition to Zu Jiang, there are also threats from Badian, Yu Yi and Xia Zhu.He immediately came up with the idea of ​​using Zu Jiang's resources to build a defense system.

Fang Zheng's idea of ​​coming to the Yao Banquet at first.By messing up Zu Jiang's upper echelon to a certain extent, so that they are busy fighting the fire and have no time to care about others, the threat to Qinglongling can be avoided.Of course, this idea is very weak, and Fang Zheng also felt that it would be a great sin to cause chaos and displacement of the people.So in the middle of the process, his idea became to control the treasury first, so that at least the fire at the city gate would not harm Chiyu.

But this kind of thinking is still superficial, and it is impossible to have any strategy that does not affect the whole body, and the turmoil in the pattern will inevitably lead to chaos.

In this sense, although Zu Jiang had many internal conflicts, and this time the building finally collapsed, the high-pressure policy they designed before was like a strong string to manipulate a puppet, strangling the puppet very painfully, but also making the whole running.

All the upper clans were imprisoned, and the whole country was still paralyzed.Thanks to Fang Zheng immediately grasping the key point and taking measures, the chaos was not further expanded.

The first key point is to stabilize and ensure production recovery.Fang Zheng didn't learn other knowledge well, and the idea that the purpose of conquering local tyrants and dividing the land was to liberate productivity was deeply rooted in his heart.

If there is no restraint, the people can easily fall into a state of disorderly violence.If you rob the national treasury and don't know how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, it will soon become ruins.Therefore, it is necessary to organize them to continue to produce and increase their enthusiasm for production.

So Fang Zheng first asked the beast ancestors to come forward and lead the group of fox sons and grandchildren to guard the treasury.There is Zu Jiang's economic lifeline, and the beast ancestor is not a human being, so he cannot show affection.It is loyal to Zu Jiang, and its fighting power is strong. With it guarding there, it is equivalent to the effect of dozens of big lynxes in the past, and no one else can make up its mind.

Then, Fang Zheng made a decision, he opened the four gates of Yaocheng, and let the hungry people outside the city enter the city - of course it must be orderly, relying on Gu carvings and other deterrents.

In the square where exquisite Yao banquets were once arranged, people from all over the world gathered together.Before that, they had already heard about all kinds of shocking changes - the monsters under Yaocheng, the infighting between the ancestor Jiang Daguo and the head of Xingji, and the "king husband" who can control the return of the beast ancestor.

The people in the square actually only account for a very small part of Zu Jiang, but they can come here, either they are really desperate, poor and poor, and have perseverance; or they are local villagers or mothers. Old, speaking has a certain weight and can mobilize some resources; some are leaders of various small tribes who have not had time to leave after participating in the Yao banquet, and spend the winter in Yao City.

These people are exactly what Fang Zheng hopes to convey, and they can spread Fang Zheng's decision to the greatest extent.

Fang Zheng told them that the downfall of Zujiang Daguozhu and Xingjichang was because they acted perversely and offended the gods.The evil monsters under Yaocheng who were once suppressed by Empress Dengbei were released to punish them.Now they are down, and the monster is gone.

Qiongqi was the truth released by Yu Yi's envoy, and Fang Zheng strictly restricted them among those people—they were all imprisoned.

Since it was a perverse act, they must be charged with crimes. In fact, they are indeed disqualified.Fang Zheng summed it up a little bit, and forgetting the ancestors is considered minor; it is their biggest sin not to take power indiscriminately and internally, and not to take the life and death of the people at heart.As expected, this reason was spurned by those people.

These people came all the way to Yaocheng, just to have a bite of food and find a shelter from freezing to death, but now they heard that Yaocheng was too busy to take care of themselves, and even alarmed the beast ancestors.The unreasonable consumption of the national treasury and the squandering of Yaoyan are all because of the greed, vanity and short-sightedness of those above.These people just hate it.

Pretty words are useless, but Fang Zheng knows very well that these people are the most practical, and what they want is the most real.

Fang Zheng knew that they wanted food and shelter, which were the most basic needs.If he is not satisfied, there will be riots. Therefore, while showing the national treasury, Fang Zheng also showed his combat power to communicate with the beast ancestors.

It is basically impossible to completely drive the nine-tailed fox, but if what he does is in the interests of Zu Jiang's general direction, Fang Zheng knows that the nine-tailed fox will cooperate with him.

Fang Zheng took some of the grain stored in the treasury and distributed it, but the collection must be orderly and quantitative.The nine-tailed fox watched from the sidelines the whole time.

These people are pitiful, but they cannot be expected to have high self-discipline and self-moral awareness. They must be controlled by means to prevent them from being greedy and taking more.

Fang Zheng thought of a sentence in the boring literature he had memorized before, and he suddenly understood.

"The sage governs the country not by relying on others for my own good, but by using them not to do wrong."

——The sage governs the country not by people being able to do good things, but by making people not do bad things.

After Fang Zheng asked them to receive part of the food, they also received part of the seeds and clothing to cover their bodies. Unless they were seriously injured, they were asked to leave Yaocheng on time.

But Fang Zheng did not deport them back to the icy and snowy Yuantun, but asked them to take people to the south to cultivate.Dozens of big lynxes in the south are digging through the mountain roads day and night. It has been three or four months now, and many mountain roads have been dug up.The Zujiang people could migrate to lands with better climate conditions and superior geographical location, which meant more gathering and hunting opportunities.This is the way to solve the problem once and for all.

In this sense, this is the only useful decision made by the ancestral Jiang Daguozhu, even though her original intention was greed.But the way to use it is one-hearted, and there is only a thin line between greed and abundance.

The steep natural moat in the south of Kunlun, as long as the road is connected, it will become a livable place for human beings.There are abundant resources in the mountains and hills that can be used.

Fang Zheng also got in touch with the Qigong tribe and told them that Zu Jiang had changed.I will not attack them again, and invite them to come out of the narrow valley and share this land that needs to be developed.Their mechanical production can also further help Zu Jiang to clear the road, and many equipment can better improve productivity.

The newly reclaimed land also dredged the road to Qinglongling.Fang Zheng quickly got in touch with the Chinese intelligence network in Qinglongling, and learned that everything in the valley was running normally for the time being.The system design that Fang Zheng made before he left is working in an orderly manner, and Bingyi is also very safe, protecting everyone.That ferocious snake killed many snakes and tigers and leopards who came to test it. It is estimated that conflicts will break out one day.But at least for now no one dares to invade.

Fang Zheng told Zu Jiang's people that Zu Jiang was no longer the matriarchal society where women were respected and men were slaves.From then on, men and women are equal, and there are no slaves.In order to overcome the difficulties of life together, it’s okay to find a man to marry; if you don’t want to, it’s okay to live with your sisters.

Fang Zheng is not worried that women will no longer have offspring after losing their privileges.As long as the land and resources are sufficient, and people can live more easily and have spare energy, they will naturally breed offspring.There's no need to worry about this kind of thing, and he doesn't bother to care about it.

Privilege, whether it is the privilege of men, women, status, or other privileges, is a kind of moth that exists with power. It will definitely exist, but it must also spare no effort to fight from generation to generation.It will not be eliminated and will always exist objectively, but in that struggle, a new path will be dug.

Of course, some Zu Jiang’s women couldn’t figure it out, most of them were born in those ten noble clans, and they also brought out some ancient three-generation laws adopted by the Dengbei clan to question Fang Zheng, even if it was the king and the star festival. If you are disqualified, why do you have to change the law and disrespect the holy system?

It was also easy for Fang Zheng to think clearly about this issue. He used another so-called "sage speech" to make those people speechless:

The sages in ancient times governed the world, and they did not expect to follow the ancient system and imitate the immutable laws and regulations, but studied the actual situation of the time and formulated measures according to them.

He took the men to see the crumbling statues by the cracked river.

The huge broken stone statue of the Dengbei Empress below Yao City was spontaneously repaired by the people of Zujiang in the following years. Although the repairs inevitably had some cracks, the adhesion was not firm, and sometimes a few pieces fell off.However, the people will spontaneously contribute rice and soil to stick it.Over time, the entire stone statue became white and smooth, more lifelike than before.Moreover, because the outside is coated with thick rice and earth and stones, many unknown flowers and plants gradually grow on it.Birds and beasts also come to build nests, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, full of vitality.

After doing all this, Fang Zheng finally freed up his hands to activate Zu Jiang's huge intelligence network, and now this powerful network is in his hands.It didn't take long to find out the whereabouts of those Yu Yi spies.Before they had time to run out of Zujiang, they were preparing to hide for the winter in a snowy village on a certain plateau, but they were captured in one fell swoop and were on the way to be escorted.

Fang Zheng stared at Zifeng lying on the bed with the dagger frozen in his chest piercing his heart.That must hurt, right?Xiaofeng, don't be afraid, Brother Zheng will save you and wake up soon.

Therefore, the sage does not expect to repair the ancients, and the law is always possible, and the affairs of the world are prepared because of it. --"Han Fei"
