What was Bo Yi doing? He happened to be occupied during this period. Although the floods in the Central Plains had not receded, seven years later, large areas of land in the upper reaches of the river to the west of Dalong Mountain and Helan Mountain were exposed to the water.
After the barrier lake collapsed due to an earthquake, unexpected changes occurred as the water level dropped. The floods surged down from the Xihuang Plateau, carrying a large amount of silt and accumulating at the bottom of the barrier lake, creating a fertile alluvial plain.
.
The fertile fields with a radius of nearly 800 miles appeared in Longxi, which has been barren and remote since ancient times. It was called the Longxi Plain, and in later generations it was also called the 800-mile Qinchuan. This was brought about by Bo Yi's collapse of the Longshan Mountains.
The biggest unexpected gain is that the floods in the upper reaches have receded, so of course the nearby tribes will occupy this treasure land.
Before the great flood, the most important tribes in this area were the Huandou tribe to the south of the river and the Jinwu Kingdom to the north of the river. They lived at the western foot of the Dalong Mountain and the Helan Mountain respectively. In addition, there were several other tribes nearby.
A small tribe, some of the villages of the Boyi tribe are also located at the western foot of Dalong Mountain.
Of course the first thing Jinwu Jun thought of was to restore his country. At the meeting of all the kings of the world, Emperor Yao had promised that after the flood receded, all the ministries of the world would help him restore his country. He had already gone to Chonghua to discuss the matter.
.
However, Chonghua told Jinwujun that the lower reaches of the Central Plains were still in Zeguo, and the ministries were too busy to take care of themselves, so it was impossible to allocate manpower and material resources to help him for the time being. However, Jinwujun could restore the country on his own and move the residents back to their original places to build villages and villages in the future.
After the great floods in the lower reaches receded, all the ministries in the world would provide other kinds of support.
Lord Jinwu also understood the situation, so he led a group of surviving tribesmen down from the heights and began to plan for the restoration of the country. However, the Kingdom of Jinwu was gone. This plain was made of accumulated silt, and the topography had long been changed. The original landmarks
They are all gone, and the original borders cannot be identified.
When the river flows through the center of the Longxi Plain, the new river branch branches into three fan-shaped branches, flowing through three collapsed passes in the mountains. It also divides this 800-mile fertile wilderness into two large and two small areas.
The Golden Crow Kingdom wants to occupy half of it, that is, the large and small areas in the north. The reason is very simple. Their original border was north of the river.
Of course, other tribes would not agree to this request. The original Jinwu Kingdom was only a hundred miles in radius, with a total population of only five or six thousand people. Now there are still more than 3,000 people left. How can it occupy such a large area?
The Longxi region has always been a remote and barren land in ancient times. It is true that what is lacking is not the land, but the more important resource is the population. There are many ownerless wilderness in the surrounding area. However, the fertile plains suitable for reclamation are must be fought for by various tribes. Later generations will see
Every piece of farmland is the result of careful cultivation and cultivation by generations of people.
In fact, everyone wants to occupy such a newly emerged fertile field, including the tribes affected by the floods who also want to move here. How can the Jinwu Kingdom, which only has only 3,000 people left, take away half of it?
The Huandou tribe also made a request that they occupy half of the southern half, which is also a large and small area. The reason held by the Huandou tribe was that they suffered heavy losses in the flood, which was different from the losses suffered by the downstream tribes.
The losses were different. The original disaster was caused by Bo Yi's collapse of the Long Mountain, but it bought time for the downstream ministries and deserved more compensation.
Huandou now has a total population of nearly 10,000 people, but there are not many tribesmen left to the west of Dalong Mountain, so they decided to move the tribesmen to the east of Dalong Mountain to settle in this fertile wilderness.
Most of the Jinwu Kingdom and Huandou want to occupy all these 800 miles of fertile land, and other tribes cannot agree. Especially the Boyi tribe. They originally had villages scattered in this area. Moreover, these 800 miles of fertile land are owned by the Bo Yi tribe.
It was created only after Yi collapsed on the Long Mountain, otherwise this place would still be a desolate place!
The Boyi tribe also paid a huge price in this disaster. For this reason, many tribesmen believed that they should occupy half of the fertile plain instead of occupying the entire fertile plain, and other tribes would divide the rest.
The other half is enough. Of course other nearby tribes have ideas, including the tribes east of Dalong Mountain and Helan Mountain. They also want to take the opportunity to migrate here.
The parties couldn't argue, and the result was Chonghua. Chonghua knew very well what the newly emerged 800-mile fertile plain in the upper reaches of the river meant to the Chinese Empire? The Jinwu Kingdom with only 3,000 people and more than 10,000 people must not be allowed to
The Huandou Department has exclusive rights to it. Even if they occupy the land, they will not be able to actually develop it for many years.
Chonghua's arbitral result: First, let the Jinwu Kingdom set aside a hundred-mile radius of land on the north side of the river. They can choose the most fertile land and the most suitable for farming and development, but it is impossible to occupy as large a territory as originally requested. Huan
The same goes for Dou Dabu. They can first choose the best place on the south bank of the river. The area is equivalent to the original tribal territory and is about a hundred miles in radius.
Although the area is the same as the original territory, the barren mountains and ridges have turned into fertile plains. Most of the Golden Crow Kingdom and Huandou have taken advantage of it, and it is enough to accommodate their current tribesmen, even if the population is doubled.
Question. So the third choice for the remaining territory is the Boyi tribe.
Chonghua gave a suggestion. Among the two large, two small and four areas divided by the river, the Bo Yi tribe could just choose a small area on the southwest side, which is about a hundred miles in radius. In this way, the Bo Yi tribe
The Yi tribe could move all the tribesmen who had moved to higher places there in the past few years, and slowly build villages with outer walls.
In fact, Chonghua's suggestion was for others to listen to. He had sent people to seek Bo Yi's opinion privately, and only announced it to the public after receiving Bo Yi's approval. As a result, this fertile plain was only divided into three parts.
One, then nearly two-thirds of the territory will be divided among the other eight tribes.
Among these eight tribes, three small tribes originally lived in Longxi, and the other five tribes all moved in from the east of Dalong Mountain and Helan Mountain. Chonghua's ruling certainly did not satisfy the Huandou tribe and the Jinwu Kingdom.
It was an unreasonable request, but it received unanimous support from almost all ministries in the world.
Under today's circumstances, the newly emerged eight hundred miles of fertile wilderness will become an important area for food and material assets, and will also be a rear support base for post-disaster reconstruction by various ministries in China. It is necessary to organize people from various ministries to reclaim and manage it as soon as possible. Chonghua's organization of relocation is based on the principle of proximity
, the five relocated tribes are also important large tribes.
After these five tribes obtained new fiefdoms on the Longxi Plain, they had to hand over their original fiefdoms and become the Kinki land directly under the emperor's jurisdiction. In fact, it doesn't matter whether they hand it over or not for the time being. They are all soaked in water now. They will still have to do it in the future.
Provide more support to ministries that are still fighting floods and re-sign alliances.
The Kingdom of Jinwu has been destroyed, and Lord Jinwu now only leads more than 3,000 remnants. He is unable to raise any objections to this arrangement. He can only express his gratitude. The previous unreasonable demands are just words. Although most of Huandou have
I am dissatisfied, but I have no reason to object. Besides, this is still a matter of taking advantage.
Interestingly, some people in the Boyi tribe are also dissatisfied with this. In their opinion, the territory assigned to this tribe by Lord Chonghua is too small, and there should be more.
These eight hundred miles of fertile plains were "created" by Lord Bo Yi. Bo Yi was kind to the tribes in the lower reaches, so each tribe should express their gratitude to the tribe of Boyi. Besides, they have the invincible Lord Boyi as their leader. Who can
Do you dare to fight with him? In fact, within the Boyi tribe, many tribesmen have this mentality, relying on an invincible king.
It was impossible for Chonghua to sit in the thin city and say a few words and settle the matter completely. He also had to send special personnel to convene a meeting of these eleven monarchs to clearly delineate the areas occupied by each, and then report the covenant to the emperor.
Accept the formal confirmation of the canonization. Who is convenient to do this and has the ability to settle various disputes on the spot? Chonghua simply entrusted Bo Yi to take charge.
Chonghua entrusted Bo Yi to preside over the establishment of alliances among the eleven ministries, and also said hello to Bo Yi privately. Emperor Yao wanted to re-enable Bo Yi to patrol and monitor all ministries in the world, but the emperor dissuaded him, but the emperor did not seem to have changed.
Chonghua also let Bo Yi know the idea and make corresponding preparations to get this matter settled before going out again.
The meeting place of the eleven tribes alliance is in the center of the fertile plain. If the monarch himself cannot be present due to the long journey and complicated affairs, he will have to send a plenipotentiary representative who can make the decision. Now that the other ten tribes have arrived, it is time to wait
Waiting for Bo Yi to come out of the mountain. Bo Yi finally left the mountains where he had lived in seclusion for seven years and rushed to the newly fertile plain.
Before leaving, many tribesmen persuaded Bo Yi to carve out more territory to return. With Bo Yi's reputation and achievements, and being the host of this alliance, he casually designated an extra piece of fertile land for his tribe, and it is estimated that no one would dare to object.
The Boyi tribe also suffered heavy losses and benefited all tribes downstream. This is the compensation they deserve.
Bo Yi had a sullen face and said nothing. Later, he couldn't help showing a hint of coercion, and the tribesmen did not dare to continue talking. Isn't Bo Yi such a small-minded person? In fact, his tribe has already taken advantage this time.
Quite a lot. Eight hundred miles of fertile wilderness is an unexpected gift from God. How much is too much?
Chonghua has promised a hundred miles of land, let alone moving part of the tribe, even if the entire tribe is moved there, it will be no problem. Besides, the Boyi tribe does not have to hand over the original fiefdom like the other five tribes, so that is completely unacceptable.
It's new.
Bo Yi did not bring any of his clansmen with him, but went alone. This was his habit. Many Bojuns would bring their own bodyguards with them to show their prestige when traveling, but Bo Yi did not need these. Wherever he went, he took the world with him.
With such invincible power, it is difficult for others to keep up with his speed.
The river flows through 800 miles of fertile fields and splits into three branches in the center of the plain. On the south bank of where the river divides, most Huandou have already set up camp in advance, waiting for the arrival of Lord Bo Yi. Bo Yi descends from the sky and everyone lines up.
After bowing and saluting, he glanced around and found that Lord Jinwu had not come, Master Huandou had not come, and the heads of the other eight tribes had not arrived either. Those who were sent were all representatives.
This situation is also normal. Now that all the ministers and kings are busy with important matters, the principles for demarcating the territory have been decided, so just send representatives to confirm. With Bo Yi present, I am afraid that no one will dare to start a dispute, and there will be no dispute.
If Bo Yi was killed, where could he go to reason?
Especially Lord Jinwu, who had offended Bo Yi in the emperor's court a long time ago, and did not dare to come in person. The person sent this time was Wu Xiang, an important minister; and the person who represented most of Huandou was the younger brother of Master Huandou.
Welcome.
Everyone entered the tent, and a sand table showing the terrain of the eight hundred miles of fertile wilderness had been placed in the center. Boyi came to the sand table and took out a piece of silk. After unfolding it, it showed the same terrain map as the sand table.
He didn't waste any words, and said straight away: "The floods in the upper reaches have receded and turned into eight hundred miles of fertile fields. This is a gift from God to the Chinese people. I was entrusted by the emperor to preside over the demarcation of the eleven departments, starting with the Golden Crow Kingdom.
...Lord Wu Xiang, according to the agreement, you should come first and mark out a hundred-mile radius."
There were no polite words, and the first thing he said was to get down to business. I don’t know why, but everyone in the tent didn’t even dare to breathe in front of Bo Yi. Master Wu Xiang walked forward in a polite manner and marked a piece of land on the sand table.
Territory. The so-called hundred miles radius is just an approximation. It is impossible to draw too accurately on such a sand table. At a glance, it may be slightly larger than the hundred miles radius.
Bo Yi didn't say anything, but asked the other nine representatives of the monarch: "Do you have any objections?"
The Jinwu Kingdom was miserable enough. Anyway, the fertile fields were large enough, so there was no need to care too much. Everyone agreed. Boyi recorded the boundary drawn by the Prime Minister of Wu on the silk cloth in his hand, showed it to everyone to confirm that it was correct, and then said:
"The borders of the Golden Crow Kingdom have been determined. I will demarcate the borders for you based on this silk map."
Whether it is on the sand table or the silk map, it is just a virtual drawing, and it is necessary to go to the field to set up stakes and set the mark. These things will also be taken care of by Bo Yi.
Mr. Wu Xiang quickly thanked him and said, "In that case, I would like to thank you Mr. Boyi! Wu Xiang will leave now. The Lord is still waiting for news. The Jinwu Kingdom also needs to organize the people to relocate quickly."
Everyone else in the tent was a little puzzled. The eleven divisions had been demarcated. The territory of one division had just been demarcated. Why did the representative of the Golden Crow Kingdom leave first? At least wait until the end, have another banquet to celebrate, and leave in such a hurry.
It is also inconsistent with the etiquette of interactions between ministries.
But after thinking about it, everyone was relieved. The territory of the Golden Crow Kingdom had been drawn up, and it was none of their business to draw the other ten tribes. Lord Jinwu had a grudge against Bo Yi, and Wu Xiang really didn’t want to spend more time in front of Lord Bo Yi.
Wait, he was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
Bo Yi ignored Wu Xiang's early departure, looked at Huan Deng and said, "It's your turn, Huan Dou Department."
Huan Dou stepped forward and drew out the best land on the sand table along the south bank of the river. It seemed that the area was slightly larger than the land drawn by Huan Dou. It should be that he had gained a little more advantage, and then used
He looked at Bo Yi with a tentative eye. There was a bargaining process in things like this. If Bo Yi insisted on being more serious, he would just go back a little further.
Bo Yi didn't say anything, but looked at the other eight representatives of the monarchs and said the same thing as before: "Do you have any objections?" Everyone looked at the sand table and thought to themselves that since Lord Bo Yi didn't object,
Let’s just admit it, Huandoubu’s advantage is not too much.
There was no objection, and it was the turn of the Boyi tribe next. Boyi was very simple and directly marked out the promised land of Chonghua, which was a small piece of the four areas divided by the river. There were already ready-made boundaries.
.
Then the remaining eight representatives of the monarchs began to discuss each other's territory boundaries. With Chonghua's established principles in mind, no one dared to argue in front of Bo Yi. In less than an hour, they were all drawn up one after another, which was very efficient.
It couldn’t be higher!
For some reason, everyone felt a lot of pressure in front of Bo Yi. Since Master Wu Xiang had left, everyone did not want to stay here for a long time, so they left one after another.
The area where this camp is located is included in most of Huandou's territory. It is said that Mr. Huandeng is the proprietor of this place and should retain him and hold a banquet to entertain all the distinguished guests, but his expression is also very helpless.
As the host, Bo Yi naturally wanted to stay until the end. He said to Huan: "This silk picture in my hand will be sent to Lord Chonghua. If there is a dispute between the various tribes in the future over the land boundary, it will be decided based on it."
As a basis. After this matter is completed, I will use the silk map as a basis to confirm the actual mark within ten days, and Mr. Chonghua will report it to the emperor."
Huan Deng saluted and said, "Master Boyi has worked so hard to come here. How can he leave in a hurry? It also seems that I, Huan Dou, have lost the etiquette of hospitality. You must rest here for one night and let me prepare a banquet and present your beauty."
Serve.”
Bo Yi put away the silk book and waved his hand, saying: "No need! Let's have a banquet with beautiful ladies. Please keep it for yourself, Master Huandeng." As he spoke, he walked out of the tent.
Huan Deng suddenly changed his expression and shouted from behind him: "Yi! Do you still want to leave today?"
