Chapter 13: The Gathering of Demons (4)
This is, of course, corn.
Corn is, of course, corn, but it can't be called corn at this time.
Just like Mai, why is there such a name? But when the number of people who called was many, wheat became wheat.
Zhuxia heavy jade, the world of the great controversy also has Jingshan Bian and the beautiful talk of offering jade, called corn is the most suitable.
But for the ambitious Shi, the most suitable name is the least suitable.
This thing can't just be a corn that can keep more people from starving, but also take the opportunity to expand the influence of the Mo family, so that it can expand its influence when it is popularized in the future.
After thinking for a long time, Hu Xuan said: "This is called Moyu." The jade of the Mo family. β
"Moyu?"
Lu Hua carefully pinched the corn, and felt that this jade character was very good, if it was threaded together with twine, hung on the earlobe or hung around the neck, it might not be as good as the cui jue of those scholars.
But this Mozi was very bad, and he couldn't put it down for a long time, and muttered: "This is obviously yellow jade, how can it be ink-colored jade?" β
"The Mo family does not regard gold and jade as treasures, but takes relief of the world as treasures. The Naqi people said that this thing can be especially cultivated in the desolate land of the mountains, so that the world will suffer less from famine, and it is a treasure that relieves the world. In the eyes of my Mo family, just like jade in the eyes of princes and nobles, it is a treasure of the city, hence the name. β
"It's the jade treasure of the Mo family, not the jade of ink."
After the nonsense, he took out a few carrot seeds, this time he didn't look good, but his next words made Wei Wei frightened for a long time.
"It's called a ghost finger. The world thinks that the ghost is hidden in the ground, and this thing is like a finger when it grows up, its color is like meat, and it is as long as a finger, and it is hidden in the ground, and it is the heavenly ghost who gave up his finger to give it to the people of the world. β
When Lu Hua heard this, she screamed in fright, and subconsciously hid behind Shi, not daring to look at the unsightly seed again.
Wei also swallowed, not wanting his next words to make him more frightened than hearing the name of the ghost.
"This ghost means that if it is planted well, one mu can produce ten or even twenty stones. Although it cannot be regarded as millet, it can save lives in times of famine, and it is crisp and sweet as honey. β
There is no nonsense in this statement, carrots are used with grass ash and manure under a large acre, and it is not a problem to produce three or five thousand catties, and it is better to save the famine than sweet potatoes. Therefore, in the countryside in the previous life, there were many names such as carrot cuizi, carrot tun, carrot col and so on.
It's just that this thing is not as good as sweet potatoes after all, sweet potatoes can be dried and ground in the sun, and they can be regarded as staple food, so this thing can only be used to save the famine.
In terms of the current small stones, the yield of ten stones per mu is afraid of scaring people to say that it is small, especially this is still a good seed selected by I don't know how much sweat and labor has been condensed.
Rao is conservative, and the amount of ten stones and twenty stones still startled Wei.
Of course, he hoped it was true, and he believed what he said.
But the more I hope that it is true, the more I am afraid that it will be false in the end, so the more I dare not believe it.
The fear is not over, far from over.
Shi followed this routine again, took out all kinds of strange seeds, and gave them strange names one by one.
For example, the cotton cloth that is nonsense is said to be the devil's coffin, and it is said that the heavenly ghosts condensed their clothes into seeds and planted them in the soil in order to save the world, so that everyone could have clothes to wear.
Of course, there are also non-nonsense, such as sunflowers, this does not need nonsense, just change it to summer sunflower.
There are spring sunflowers, okra, and winter sunlows in the world, but there are no summer sunhounds. And sunflower itself also has phototropism, so there is a saying that sunflower is sunny. Zhong Ni also told the positive a chicken soup with the help of sunflower vegetables, saying that Bao Zhuangzi was not even as good as sunflower vegetables, and people also knew that the leaves covered the sun to protect their rhizomes.
It wasn't until she took out the pumpkin seeds that Hu Xue thought were that the ghost head melon was actually a pumpkin, Lu Hua finally smiled and said: "Little brother, you really don't know how to farm, this is a gourd, I recognize it." β
After speaking, he shook the gourd stand in the courtyard, which was a dish often eaten in summer and autumn.
After thinking about the pumpkin that could dig out a grimace and a candle inside, he shook his head and smiled: "Then I'll see if the strange person lied to me, or if you admit your mistake." How can wheat and dogtail be distinguished before they bear fruit? Do not speculate on everything, but look at the results, not guess in a vacuum. You have to remember. β
Lu Hua lowered her head and agreed, but she was a little aggrieved in her heart, and said that this is obviously a gourd, but the gourd seeds are like our faces, thin; Your gourd seed is the face of Guiji, and it's chubby.
After being wronged, I thought again, since he said so, he really cares about me and doesn't want me to go the wrong way, it should be like this?
There are always two sides to everything, and when I think about it in another way, the grievances in her heart have turned into a kind of warmth.
Thinking of the ghost finger that was startled just now, I couldn't help but ask, "That ghost finger...... Which finger is the heavenly ghost? β
"Guess what?"
Lu Hua thought for a while, and shy and timidly stretched out her little finger and asked, "Is this one?" β
"Why do you say that?"
"I heard you say that this ghost is thinking of the world. The little finger was of little use, so he cut it off to the world to prevent hunger. The rest of the hands, or do something else, right? β
Shi smiled and stretched out his right hand with his little thumb bent, stretched forward and said, "The rest of the fingers are on you and me." Otherwise, why is the little finger the most clumsy? The heavenly ghost originally thought that he would level the mountains and rivers and organize the rivers to benefit the world. But no matter how powerful it is, there is only one person after all, so he gave the most flexible four fingers to the people of the world. So the Suiren clan can drill wood with their hands to get fire, Dayu and the people can make the river with their hands, and the people can hold the plow with their hands to nourish their stomachs......"
Lu Hua and Wei had never heard such a story, imagining the appearance of the heavenly ghosts or that kind of heart, and looking at those seeds called ghost heads, ghost fingers, etc., their hearts were inexplicably sad.
"That day...... Dead? β
"Dead."
Shi said very solemnly, nodded his head with a hmm, and said: "Anyone who says that he has seen a heavenly ghost must want to deceive the world, and his heart can be punished." β
"Where did the ghost die that day?"
"Where do we come from?"
"Where do we go when we die?"
"Why did the heavenly ghost die?"
A simple question has attracted a series of questions, at this time, the theory of ghosts and gods is flourishing, and it is in the Song Kingdom, which is heavy on ghosts and gods and tortoiseshells, such a question is difficult to answer.
Shi raised his head and thought for a while, and read: "This is not your problem alone, but the problem of the people in the world." β
"Who preached the so-called early days of antiquity? The top and bottom are not formed, why should they be tested? Who can be the best? Feng Yi is only like an image, how can he know it? Light and dark, but what is the time? The circle is ninefold, which camp is the degree? But what is the work, which is the first to do it? Maintain the Yan system, the heavens are extremely Yanjia? Nuwa has a body, who is the ...... of the craftsman"
borrowed Qu Yuan's "Tianwen" to ask the questions of the entire Hongmeng era one by one, remove the unwanted yin and yang theory in it, and lead him to modify the Mohist nihilistic Tianzhi into a Tianzhi that can be inferred with the Mohist dialectic.
These questions are so difficult that no one knows.
Or someone can answer them one by one, but in the eyes of the Mohists, they are all wrong, because the logic does not make sense.
At this time, there was no book burning, and there was no Confucian unification, so even the saying that the rule of three generations had its own arguments.
All the sons pay attention to taking history as a mirror, and if they want to make sure that their doctrines are reasonable, most of them have to rely on the past to reform the system and use the past as a metaphor for the present.
Therefore, the three emperors and five emperors in the Confucian view of history are Zen; The Three Emperors and Five Emperors in the Legalist view of history were bloodily killed......
The world has not been unified, and there is no one and only statement that must be accepted, and it can be changed at will.
Shi is a die-hard atheist, so the heavenly ghost must be dead.
Shi is a die-hard atheist, so Tianzhi must be ruthless and impersonal.
But in this kind of ghostly theory, farmers like Luhua and Reed who are trapped in the fields are the most receptive, they need a complete story, and they also need a paradise.
It's just that they don't know that when they talk about the paradise in "The Rat" in the field that day, they need to create it with their hands and brains.
What they do not know is that the so-called Celestial Wills will be changed into a rigid historical inevitability of a mutually adaptable progressive and better political system.
It is a phased mutual adaptation, with the emergence and popularization of a certain instrument as the dividing line of the Nine Paradises.
Even this kind of rigid historical necessity is something that everyone who believes in must strive for.
In a narrow sense, there is no necessity in history.
But for the traverser, ironware, ridge farming, great unification, new textiles, more advanced political systems that can be used for reference, science, literacy, virtuous officials, paper and printing, etc., are inevitable, that is, Tianzhi, and that is the Promised Landβthe Paradise of the World, as opposed to the Paradise of this time.
Using proverbs and scriptures as a shell, it is in essence a blueprint for a plan.
If Haotian God and Heavenly Ghost say that ox ploughing is better than scattering seeds all over the sky, cotton should be spun like this to replace cotton cloth, how to protect the river from the dams, what kind of political system is most suitable for the terrain of Zhuxia, and that great unification is good, etc......
At this point, it's not a bad thing.
Nature evolves too slowly, and the means can be unscrupulous for the sake of the end.
At that time, he would naturally perish.
And now, here and now, here and here.
The people in this little hut, and in the fields outside it, they don't need to know so much, they just need to be attracted by this story that asks the sky.
After listening to the appropriate question, Lu Hua and Wei fell into deep thought.
This is not a doubt of one person, but a doubt that all peoples have in the period of ignorance.
yes, that's a problem, these are a problem.
At the beginning of ancient times, who introduced this state flow to future generations?
Before the heavens and the earth were formed, where did they come from?
There is no distinction between light and dark, and who can explore the reason?
The atmosphere is a misty mess, how can it be recognized?
The day is bright and the night is dark, how is it arranged?
The size of heaven and earth, how big is it and how should it be measured?
It is said that Nuwa created people, so before the creation of people, who created Nuwa?
What separates the noble from the low?
How can the world be one?
How can we produce two stones of grain per mu?
How can the noble not be always expensive, and the cheap not always cheap?
How do you reach the promised land of the world?
