Chapter 179: Eloquence

Everyone in the account knew about this matter, but now, it was the first time that a Song person came to declare sovereignty, and they couldn't help but make a big uproar.

Su You bowed to the people around him again, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Since this place is already a Song land, the ranks are all Song people. Since we are Song people, there is no difference between us, why can't we be guests of the ceremony? ”

This statement made the vast majority of people in the big tent very satisfied, and the first thought of many people was - this kid is right, Lao Tzu is now a Song person!

The prosperity and wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, the leisure of the life of the Song people, especially the life of the Bashu Song people, is still very desirable for the Southwest Yi, and now someone suddenly tells them that you are also Song people, and most people's reaction is - I am proud......

Da Wu looked at the reaction of the crowd and couldn't help but feel disappointed: "Twenty years ago, I saved a Song person, which may be the biggest mistake in my life. ”

There was another "coaxing" in the tent, and everyone knew that the person Dawu was talking about was Mr. Fan, and it was clear that he was ready to break up.

"He is very knowledgeable, and he told me that the people of the Erlin Department can also live a life like the Song people, as long as we work hard, open our eyes, and find the right path."

"He said that the Erlin Department is poor and has no production, but as long as we find mineral deposits, we can smelt metals, and we can go to Dali and Dasong in exchange for what we want to get."

"I believed him and showed him where the mines of the Second Forest Department were, but what I didn't expect was that what I released was a devil."

"Twenty years have passed, what has become of the mine now? When you hold the grain you have exchanged for those mineral deposits, have you turned around to see what has become of the forests and mountains that once nourished us? ”

"But it's not the most terrible, it's the terrible thing, it's the changed hearts of people."

"In the previous tribe, everyone lived a poor and simple life, but everyone was happy."

"In spring, we sing in the mountains and forests, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers and plants; In the summer, we fish in the small river, and the fish crowd the river, and people can step on the back of the fish and walk to the other side of the river; In autumn, the cattle and sheep are fat, and we sacrifice and pray like gods; Winter...... Winter is the most leisurely day, everyone gathers around the fire pond and listens to the old people sing about the ancient stories of the tribe......"

"What a beautiful old days...... But now? ”

"Now in everyone's eyes, it's profit! It's all cold silver and copper coins! You have forgotten to sing, you have forgotten your joy, you have forgotten the land that gave birth to you and raised you, and you have demanded so much from it for your own greed! ”

"You have destroyed the forests, the mountains, and the souls of the mountains! You have fallen! You have dishonored the gods! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell to the ground, their foreheads touched the ground and their palms were upward, trembling, and they didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere, except for a group of Han people who watched the ceremony.

Dawu pointed to the only group of Han people who did not kneel: "All this was brought by you, you led the tribe on the path of greed, you led them to run wildly on the road to hell, you destroyed the traditions of the tribe, and even our sacrificial rituals were tried to destroy it!" ”

Su You bowed his hand and said: "Da Wu, the so-called reason is not clear, you are the wisest person in the entire Southwest Yi, I wonder if you can listen to the truth I know?" ”

Seeing that Da Wu didn't speak, Su Youcai continued: "Mountains, rivers, heaven and earth, there are gods and spirits, and on this point, whether it is us or you, we all agree. ”

"But to say that we take the mine, it is to take away the soul of the mountain, I don't agree with this."

"In our legend, there is a great god who opened the world. His name is Pangu, the embodiment of death, the air is the wind and clouds, the sound is thunder, the left eye is the sun, the right eye is the moon, the limbs are the four poles, the five bodies are the five mountains, the blood is the rivers, the muscles are the geography, the muscles are the soil, the hair is the stars, the fur is the grass and trees, the teeth and bones are gold and stone, the essence is the pearl and jade, and the sweat is the rain. ”

"On this trip, I also heard a lot of legends, in the mythology of Dali, there are two gods who opened the world, they use the method of weaving, one weaves the sky, and the other weaves the earth. The sky is small, the earth is big, and when it is closed, the earth has to be contracted, and as a result, the ground is wrinkled and uneven. ”

"In your mythology, the god of creation has become four more people: Starling, Dianni, Zhige Aru and Jizhi Garu. Dianni opened the eastern sky with a bronze pillar, and the sun rose in the east. He struck the heavens and the earth in the west with a second pillar of brass, and the sun set in the west at night. Then he struck the heavens and the earth in the north and the south with a pillar of brass, so that the heavens and the earth were separated, and the heavens and the earth were created. ”

"In this way, there is a saying that heaven, earth, mountains and rivers have souls since they come, no matter which clan they are in, there is no such thing?"

"Mountains and rivers are under the jurisdiction of the gods, but it cannot be said that mountains and rivers themselves have souls."

"When we take out the mineral deposits from the mountains, the gods do not send down heavenly punishments or warnings, which means that we are not disobeying the will of the gods. There are mineral deposits in the mountains, just as there are fish in the water, deer in the forest, and cattle and sheep in the grassland, all of which are gifts from the gods. ”

"You said that we destroyed mountains and forests, so in the past, when the Second Forest Department was slash-and-burn, how many forests had to be burned every year to be able to be on barren land. Grow that little bit of buckwheat and barley that can only make ends meet? That method, destroying the forest, is it more? ”

Everyone is nodding their heads, yes, the kid has a point......

"Mr. Fan came, let everyone trade between Dali and the Great Song Dynasty, and exchanged their own tribe's mineral deposits for silver and copper coins, and used silver and copper coins to buy farmland and Zhuangzi outside the mountain. Let this grassland have today's gathering of all departments, abundant storage, and cattle and sheep all over the field. ”

"You can think about it, in the past, people planted the harvest, full of hunger, are they really happy? Is it really the life that everyone wants to live? ”

Everyone was lost in thought.

"The Great Witch said that people's hearts are broken, but people's hearts have become bad, is it really brought about by prosperity?"

"The way your people have walked, in fact, my people have walked; The path you will take in the future is also the path that Mr. Fan wants you to take, and my people are walking now. ”

"In spring, we can also sing in the mountains and forests, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers and plants;"

"The difference is that we also have musical instruments made of silk and bamboo, and we have poems that have been recorded thousands of years ago to sing;"

"In the summer, we can also fish in the small river, and we will also open a pond to raise the small fish in the spring, and the next year we will harvest a full pond of big fish. By the pond, we will also raise ducks and geese; In the pond, we will plant lotus roots. ”

"Sister Ah Ho likes to eat our Meishan lotus root the most. In summer, the entire Meishan City is surrounded by delicate lotus flowers. ”

"In autumn, your cattle and sheep are fat, and our rice is golden. Everybody is the same, offering sacrifices with the best things and praying to the gods. ”

"But our rituals have written down the process, the steps, the rituals. Even after a thousand years, it remains largely unchanged; ”

"Winter...... Winter is also our most leisurely day, and we are carried by the elders of the family to thank heaven and earth, worship ancestors, and reward the gods. ”

Then they took gifts and went to their relatives and neighbors' houses to give them to each other, invited them to come to the house to eat together, and everyone enjoyed the happiness of friendship and relatives together. Throughout the festival, every day has different customs, and every day has different activities......"

"Our lives are richer than yours, but are our hearts broken? Not really. ”

"When the warehouse is full, people will live calmly, confidently, and generously, so that they can have more time to learn. When the stomach is full and the clothes are warm, then there is energy to think about other things—such as smelting precious gold and silver from ore, such as grinding snow-white flour and rice flour from windmills. ”

"The Second Forest Department guards such a good outlet, why didn't it make a windmill? Because before, you were struggling with hunger every day, where is the time to think about this? ”

Many people nodded secretly, that's right, happy hungry, that's not called happiness, that's stupid.
