Chapter 49 Summer

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The summer was hot and the sun was scorching. Yunyao began to miss Zhang¡¯s ancient refrigerator, but it was a pity that Du Niang couldn¡¯t afford it.

    Ancient refrigerators first stored ice. Every winter, people would collect ice cubes and hide them in the cellar. The amount stored was three times the amount used, because the melting factor had to be taken into consideration.

    ?Then there are bronzes with built-in compartments. Such a large double-layered bronze is not only expensive but also cutting-edge technology.

    In short, you need to have an ice cellar and bronze ware, and then you can combine it into a Western Zhou Dynasty refrigerator to freeze fruits and fresh fish. Yunyao can't even think about this kind of thing. It is not something that a baron like her can handle.

    The weather is getting hot, and the Zhu River has become dangerous, because there will be people bathing by the river. If a foot slips and falls into the water, it is basically hopeless.  Every summer when the sun is blazing, corpses often float down. If Yunyao's father saw a drowned person before his death, he would fish them up and bury them, which was considered a sign of good deeds.

    A corpse soaked in water for a long time is a nightmare. Yunyao had a nightmare for a month after seeing it for the first time, and then she got used to it.  Even in the era when safety education was popularized, many people still drowned every year, not to mention that there is no safety education at all now. There are many unlucky people who drown just for the sake of a moment of coolness.

    But in Yunyao's fief, she repeatedly gave orders not to allow them to go into the water privately.  If you want to go into the water, you can go together, and you must bring an empty gourd. At the same time, you must not go to deep water areas.  Yunyao knew the depth and shallowness of the water on the north shore very well, so she specially arranged a shallow water area for everyone to bathe.

    When taking a bath, the role of the reeds comes to the fore, because there is a word called "immoral", and the picture is definitely unsightly, because there were no swimsuits in this era.

    Precisely because Yunyao attaches great importance to safety, the savages in the fief have not encountered any danger, and they have not gone to the deep water area to fool around. They are very obedient. Yunyao's authority in the fief is increasing day by day. After she defeated the earl, one thing happened  Everything is building her reputation.

    But other places don¡¯t have such strict safety requirements, so today Yunyao saw a face-down corpse floating downstream.

    Yunyao silently pulled the body up and buried it with a roll of reed mat.

    Since Yunyao positioned reed mats as funeral supplies, the sales of reed mats have been good. Anyway, there is no backlog. They can sell as many as they make.  About fifteen reed mats can be sold every month. The income is not much, but the income can improve the public facilities of the fief.

    For example, if necessary, Yunyao also wants to build a larger village activity room to hold classes and meetings for everyone.  However, Shuzai believes that if you have money, you should buy ritual vessels and sacrificial vessels. These are the most important things.

    "Our fief's sacrificial vessels have been used for a long time and are old and broken." While helping Yunyao dig a hole to bury the body, Shuzai talked about how the money earned from the reed mat should be used.

    Yunyao was helpless. In an era when sacrifice and military affairs were the most important matters of the country, her perception of public facilities was completely different from that of Zhou people.  She believes that Gonggong facilities should serve everyone in the fief, while Shuzai believes that public facilities are facilities needed for collective activities.

    The so-called collective activities are nothing more than war, sacrifice, and archery rituals. War requires chariots and weapons, sacrifices require ritual utensils and sacrificial utensils, and archery rituals require clothing and accessories.  Everything is different from Yunyao's imagination.

    Yunyao hopes that if she has nothing to do, she can teach everyone a lesson and inspire everyone's wisdom. After all, the wisdom of the people is infinite. If someone can come up with an idea to improve agricultural production, it will be a great achievement.

    But Shuzai doesn¡¯t think so. He doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s so easy to improve the wisdom of the savages. Rather than enlightening wisdom, what¡¯s more important now is that the fief needs to update the sacrificial vessels, because only by respecting God, God will reward people.  In his opinion, there will be no other wars in the fief at present, because the Mou family bordering them has been defeated and there is no need to purchase weapons.  As for the shooting ceremony, Yunyao will always hit the mark, absolutely no problem.  Then the rest is to sacrifice, which must be spent and worshiped to heaven.

    Buying weapons can strengthen your troops, buying clothes can decorate your appearance, but what can you do by buying sacrificial vessels?

    In Yunyao's opinion, sacrificial vessels are the most useless things, but Zhou people are the most willing to spend money on them.

    Yunyao knew that if she disagreed, not only would Shuzai be angry, but other retainers would also feel that Yunyao disrespected God, and her prestige would be greatly reduced.  Although it is funny and absurd, it is reality.

    "Okay, let's customize a small bronze tripod."

    Shuzai was very happy: "That's how it should be. If we order it now, we will definitely be able to catch up with the Laba Festival." Buying a sacrificial utensil is more satisfying than buying a house.

    Yunyao felt bitter in her heart, but she couldn¡¯t do it without compromising, because the retainer¡¯s concept had not changed.??Forget it, at least bronze is still appreciating at this stage, so just treat it as an investment in precious metals.

    Back at the thatched cottage, He Ling couldn't help but ask: "If you don't fish the person up, he will just float downstream and there will be no impact. Why do you want to fish him out and bury him?"

    Yunyao also has a certain understanding of He Ling. The other party is indeed not very emotionally connected, so she doesn't understand why she always does some meaningless things, or even things that endanger herself.

    "As for us humans, it is impossible for us to survive alone in this world, so we humans will definitely contact and communicate with each other, and the result of communication is nothing more than harming the interests of others to enhance our own interests, or to fulfill our own interests.  The interests of others harm one¡¯s own interests.¡±

    "So you are harming your own interests to fulfill the interests of others?" He Ling felt very strange: "Isn't this too stupid?"

    "No, I'm not that great. I prefer that human beings should help each other. When fulfilling the interests of others, I will also be fulfilled. That's what I think. In fact, you should also know that these things are nothing to me.  It¡¯s a simple effort, so why not do it?¡± Yunyao feels that she will not benefit herself at the expense of others, nor will she benefit others at the expense of herself, but rather, she will help each other through positive actions.

    He Ling seemed to understand: "But you obviously didn't control the speed well. You almost drowned last time."

    "I have to admit, sometimes this does happen, but I don't regret it, because if I hadn't worked hard to save people, how would I have met you? You see, I fulfilled Zhang Nu, and you came to fulfill me, and then you  I also hope that I can help you in turn. This is how people become stronger by supporting each other."

    It has to be said that the way of survival of the human race is different from all the casual cultivators He Ling knows: "I am used to seeing people killing people and grabbing treasures, and I have never thought about your rhetoric."

    "It's understandable, but times have changed. The monks before the Shang and Zhou dynasties definitely didn't have the concept of interpersonal relationships formulated by Zhou Li, because they only have their own people, and everyone else is not a human being, so they can kill them if they want. But now we need to build a more inclusive and more inclusive society.  The vast human race must not be able to just think about killing people and grabbing treasures like before. Those brutal cultivators all have historical limitations, but future cultivators will definitely not continue to follow the old path of their predecessors." Yunyao said optimistically  As long as the human race develops, a new order will definitely be established among the monks. At the same time, she added in her mind that it may also enter the Age of Ending Law.  Because whether order can be established depends on whether there are enough resources for cultivating immortals. If they are not enough, then they will definitely have to continue to maintain the cruel relationship that existed before the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
