Early the next morning, thirty-seven tribal kings headed by Xiang Liu, as well as ten elder representatives of the clan elected by everyone, plus Boyu and his assistant Boyi, gathered in Xiang Liu's Bojun Mansion.
In the lobby.
In terms of status, the status of the three canonized Bojuns in the former affiliated forces of the Ministry of Public Works is equal, but Xiang Liu sits in a higher position with Boyu, and the other two Bojuns sit with Boyu's assistant Boyi
Below. This also shows that Xiang Liu's strong position does not pay much attention to the other two Bojuns, and others present seem to have acquiesced in this fact.
As soon as he took his seat, Wu Zhi's voice sounded in Boyu's mind: "These thirty-seven tribal leaders, not counting Xiang Liu himself, there were still nine people who obeyed Xian Liu's orders yesterday, and among these nine people
Seven people are hesitant today. Among the remaining twenty-six people, seventeen were dissatisfied with Xiang Liu yesterday, but dared to get angry but dare not speak out. Today, twenty people have this mentality.
After all this calculation, there are only eight monarchs here who still plan to continue to be attached to Xiangliu, and their tribal areas are basically not affected by the flood. It doesn't matter that there are six left, they can't stop anything, everything depends on the outcome of today's discussion.
how……"
Boyu smiled slightly. Needless to say, Wu Zhi said that this was the result that he had expected. Boyu was not here to harm these people. He was here to help these people wholeheartedly and sincerely tried to control water in the world. Just to understand this
One thing is that the vast majority of people will support him. Unless he fails to control floods in the future, no one will publicly stand up to stop what he wants to do.
He came all the way without any delays on the way. Why didn't he persuade the clan elders to go back instead of bringing so many elders with him? It was only noon when he arrived at the city wall yesterday. Why didn't he discuss the matter in a hurry and didn't even say a word about the flood control strategy?
He didn't mention it, but instead accepted Xiang Liu's banquet and went to bed early?
Along the way, he patiently preached his water control strategy to the elders of the tribes, and promised to give each tribe a more prosperous and stable future. After the banquet yesterday, these tribal leaders would definitely go privately to inquire about the information from the elders of their own villages.
They will also understand Boyu's flood control strategy and future plans. The results are almost beneficial to the people of all tribes, so how can they not change their attitudes?
The Xiangliu tribe has taken advantage of the situation to become stronger in recent years, and even led to the expansion of Xiangliu's ambitions. This is also due to luck, mainly because of the great flood. The tribes allied themselves to Xiangliu. In fact, it was only a last resort choice. Even if they did not want to formally allege themselves to Xiangliu, they could not
He will act under the pressure of Xiang Liu and have to take the lead. But if there is a better choice, who would be willing to do this?
Boyu smiled and said nothing, while his assistant Boyi had taken out three long and narrow sand tables and placed them in the center of the hall. What was displayed on them was the topography of the mountains and rivers below Bayuan, east of the Wuyun Mountains, and in the river basin.
As soon as the things were arranged here, Wu Zhi's voice sounded in Boyu's mind again: "This sand table is very rough. In fact, with the use of magical imaging techniques, not only do you not need to make these things, but you can also display the changes in the terrain at will.
Display any subtle landform as you wish.
If you want to completely cover the terrain on both sides of the river, you must have the magic power of the immortal family. But don't despair, I have just summarized a magical secret method, which is the art of shadowing of the soul. You can use it if you have a great cultivation level. Even if you have a high level of cultivation,
If it is lower, it cannot accommodate all the scenery on both sides of the river. It can also start from one city and one village.
There are many similar magical powers and secret methods in various cultivating sects in the world, but the secret method I created is particularly exquisite, and its mystery lies in..."
Wu Zhi actually created a secret method and began to explain its mysterious principles to Boyu. Not only did he explain the mysterious principles, he also taught the secret method to Boyu on the spot, with a sense of satisfaction in his tone.
At this time, Xiang Liu frowned and asked: "Master Boyu, everyone is waiting for you to speak, why do you keep smiling and saying nothing?"
Boyu's expression remained the same as he just smiled but said nothing. No matter how good his character was, he would never be stunned when a true immortal imparted the secret method to the soul. According to legend, this true immortal wizard
Zhi is definitely not a bad person, and his mind is pure and transparent, otherwise he would not have taught Bo Yu the secret of his magical powers so easily. But this person's problem is too...
Boyu didn't even know how to describe Wu Zhi. He even wondered whether Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't stand Wu Zhi's troubles, so he found an excuse to send Wu Zhi to the lower world. Otherwise, why would he send this person?
What? Perhaps the Emperor of Heaven sent Wu Zhi to punish him on purpose, or because of Chong Bo Gun's theft of the Mysterious Pearl.
Boyu put away his smile and ignored Wu Zhi for the time being. He pointed forward and said, "Master Xiang Liu, do you know what is displayed on these three sides of the sand table?"
Xiang Liu pondered and said: "The first sand table shows the terrain of various tribes in the river basin before the flood. The second sand table shows the current land of each tribe. As for the third sand table, could it be that after Lord Boyu successfully controlled the flood?
topography?"
Boyu did not ask questions directly, but asked everyone: "Today the leaders and the old representatives of the clans are here. I would like to ask if you hope that the flood control will be successful?"
Can you say that you don't hope? Everyone nodded in agreement, and even Xiang Liu didn't say anything. In fact, there are people who don't want the water control to be successful, and Xian Liu is the representative. But on this occasion, no one can make this happen.
Speak your thoughts openly.
This great flood caused heavy losses to all tribes in the world, but some people took the opportunity to take advantage. For example, the area where the Xiangliu tribe was located was basically not affected by the flood. It not only retained the greatest strength, but also absorbed a lot of the relocated population.
The surrounding tribes had to submit to Xiang Liu for various reasons, which also made Xiang Liu's ambitions expand even more.
The flood weakened the various tribes and divided the land of China into local areas. Xiang Liu's tribe happened to occupy one of them. This was a unique condition for the dominant party. Xiang Liu did not want the flood to recede, although it might have
Good for everyone else, but not good for Xiang Liu's own ambitions.
Boyu looked around at the crowd and asked: "The flood control is successful, do you hope to return home and live and work in peace and contentment as before?"
Everyone present nodded again and said: "Of course I hope!" Some even said with a choked voice, "I dream of it!"
If I could have found a better home and had a better life after moving there, I might not have thought about returning to my hometown in more than ten years. However, the flood has brought permanent changes to the topography, and most people from all walks of life are still living in the
In the midst of suffering, their situation became increasingly difficult, and they could not surrender to the powerful Xiang Liu. Of course, they hoped to return to their previous lives.
Boyu nodded, pointed to the third sand table and said, "Master Xiang Liu just said it right. This is the place where the river will be after the water control."
Xiang Liu said in a deep voice: "Are you kidding? How could it become like this?"
Boyu said calmly: "Yu is not joking, and of course he does not dare to joke. This sand table was made by the joint efforts of many experts. It is the result of successful flood control. But the two sides of the river will not do this out of thin air. They have to rely on us.
OK." He wasn't bragging. This sand table was the final result of Boyu's flood control plan based on the analysis and inferences of Lu Zhong, Cangjie, Huwa and even Wu Zhi.
Xiang Liu's voice was a little cold: "Anyone can make such a sand table at will. What has not happened yet, how can Lord Boyu guarantee that the result will be like this?"
Boyu smiled and said: "Of course I can't do it alone, but people from all walks of life can succeed together. As for how to do it, don't worry. The first thing I have to solve when I come here today is where will you return after the flood control?"
Homeland? How should these newly emerged fertile fields be divided?"
Floods caused permanent changes in the landforms, and Bo Yu followed the trend in controlling the floods. After the flood control was successful, it would not return to its original appearance. He first asked everyone two questions, and then presented the results after the final success. There are many
People wanted to return home and live and work in peace and contentment as before, but Boyu told them that they could live better than before and their situation would be greatly improved.
The original homeland is no longer there, the villages, walls, land and gardens have all been washed away, and many places have even disappeared, and the topography is unrecognizable. But one thing is certain, there will be more fertile fields more suitable for settlement and cultivation. These tribes
Where should we move back to and how should we divide the land boundaries? This is the first problem that needs to be solved today.
Under normal circumstances, we should first talk about how to accomplish something, and then we can talk about how to share the rewards of success. Today, Boyu did the opposite and asked the heads of the various ministries to share the future benefits first, and everyone immediately gathered together
Come here and don't care about anything else for the time being.
Xiang Liu's face was gloomy, but he also knew very well that he couldn't stop Boyu today, otherwise he would be an enemy of everyone in this land. In fact, even his own attention was attracted. If it is true as Boyu said
, after the flood control, a large area of new fertile fields will appear, far exceeding the total area of fertile farmland owned by each tribe before the flood, so the Xiangliu tribe will also benefit greatly.
Compared with the sand table before the flood, the principle of dividing the territory of each tribe is very simple. Whoever moved from where they came will roughly return to where they lived. However, the places where many people originally lived have been destroyed and are difficult to restore, or the living conditions are really not very good.
In this way, large areas of fertile wilderness appeared in the surrounding previously unclaimed land, and of course they also wanted to occupy it.
Boyu did not directly take care of this matter. He first asked the tribal leaders to discuss it on their own, and ten elder representatives of the clan also participated. Boyi was responsible for registering and marking it on the sand table. After such discussion, a dispute soon arose.
Because everyone wants to occupy a better place, and some people want to occupy more, such as Xiang Liubu.
In fact, there is no shortage of space. Before the flood, there was a large amount of unowned wilderness in this area. It had no development value, was not suitable for survival, and no one would occupy it. But the flood changed everything, and the sand table in front of us showed again.
The result of the new landscape is of course very different.
Boyi spoke at this time. There are several principles for occupying those fertile fields. Firstly, the tribes who originally lived there should move back; secondly, and more importantly, the two sides of the river will not become what is shown on this sand table out of thin air. It should be noted that this
It is the result of water control, and water control requires the collective efforts of all people.
Whoever obeys the orders and contributes more will be able to occupy more and better places, especially those newly emerged unclaimed fertile fields. The Xiangliu tribe is strong now because its tribe is powerful. The stronger it is, the more it can produce.
Strength, then according to this principle, he can also get more benefits.
Then Boyu took advantage of the situation and talked about the deployment of manpower and material resources, where to dredge the river, where to drain the silt and build embankments, how long it would take, and what the price would be. Which tribes are willing to contribute to complete that part, they can get
The division of corresponding interests and benefits has turned into the allocation of water control tasks, leaving it to the leaders of each department to fight for it.
Boyu didn't even deliberately emphasize anything, and the discussion naturally transitioned to the most critical part, which was the implementation of the water control strategy. At this point, no one could stop Boyu from implementing the water control strategy, and even Xiang Liubu couldn't help but participate in it.
Everyone continued to discuss until dusk, and no one wanted to rest. They lit lamps and continued to argue and negotiate. After dark, the division of tasks among the tribes and the benefits they would receive in the future were finally discussed, and Boyi registered them.
Boyi recorded all these situations in a sheepskin book and gave the book to Boyu. Boyu looked at the book and said: "Today's discussion has been completed. How much manpower and material resources will be spent by each ministry and how much time will it take?
Whatever results you can achieve are all what you ask for. If you fail to complete the task by then, you will be punished by the emperor, and this book will be your proof!"
When Boyu said these words, his expression was serious and his tone was solemn. The responsibilities of each department have been clearly stated, let's not talk about future benefits. If anyone deliberately holds back and tries to cheat, don't blame Boyu for being rude when the time comes.
Why did Bo Yi kill more than 20 heads of kings in the first place? Isn't that the reason! And Chong Bo Gun failed to control the flood, and he himself was shattered into pieces. Of course Bo Yu had the confidence to say such things, let alone when punishing others.
Be soft-handed. With this book in hand, it is clear evidence of rewards for merit and punishment for crimes. By then, all the people in the world will be speechless. (To be continued.)
