Wolf King

Chapter 80: Look beyond the surface

The Huoyan Tribe is about 400 hundred kilometers away from the Tauren Tribe. Note that it is a straight-line distance. There is no way to abdicate when walking, because the general terrain on the grassland is a plain, but there are many Chuanxijian Springs and Jingman Marshes. No matter how hard it is, you can't pass it all the way.

In the winter when the snow is freezing, the road is much smoother, because the snow layer is covered by a small two meters deep... Especially in the deep winter, the snow on the surface of the stratum is still soft, and it is as hard as the rammed earth. , Rivers and swamps can be passed directly...

Uh, of course, you still have to go around the woods, especially if you can’t get close to the big tree, otherwise you have to weld the snow pit around the big tree even if you are two meters high. No one can save it.

The Russian dog sled can reach a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. If the Snow Werewolf pulls a sled, the average speed is 70 kilometers per hour. It is also easier to run than usual. It starts at dawn, and Mumu pulls in the morning and Xiao Yun pulls in the afternoon. When it was dark, the group saw the tribe where the tauren lived.

Enthusiastic tauren immediately brought the frozen group into a mud-brick room with a kang, and had a good relationship with Xiao Yun. The harp took hot water food and brought the wind and dust to everyone, especially the food. They also knew the snow werewolf. After a long time of hunger, the smoked dried meat was cut into pieces and boiled in two large pots. With bean sprouts and small greens, leeks, and pickled radish pieces grown in a heated room, the eyes were green. Xiao Yun and Mu Mu fed round their stomachs.

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a large jar of maltose and a small glass bottle of honey on the sled... It was not that he was stingy, the bees depended on honey for overwintering, and they didn't have much leftover food.

The focus is on maltose. Tauren’s own rice grows. After teaching them to build a house, they can also produce malt in winter. The so-called teaching fish to fish is not as good as fishing. Xiao Yun came to teach them to make sugar... It’s not a good idea to take advantage of the Tauren, so I don’t know how the Tauren use cheap sugar to consume wool for the caravan.

"So it turns out, you can use rice and malt to make sugar!" Qin happily held his heart in his hands and immediately summoned the tauren and women in the tribe to let Xiao Yun teach sugar-Xiao Yun said that there is something else, can't Staying here for too long, of course, is the best way to let more people learn together. Someone can learn and succeed in making sugar.

Sugar is hard currency. Homemade maltose is sweet but not greasy. It does not contain many impurities like the sugar sold by the caravan. After trying the maltose in the jar, Xiao Yun fell into the sea of ​​tauren women again...

When these women happily went back to their homes to distribute malt, Xiao Yun would be able to break free and lie down to sleep... Thanks to his tactful teaching of the tauren to build a house on the floor, if this weather still makes him sleep on the cold floor, then It's about to die.

The next day, Xiao Yun, who came to teach the sugar-making skills in the winter, was received by Patriarch Hall. In the Hall of Patriarch Hall, there was a kang and a fireplace, sitting in front of the fireplace burning cow dung. Drinking warm goat's milk is also a pleasant one.

Then Xiao Yun stared at the burning cow dung in the fireplace for more than half a minute... It’s not strange that cow dung has not been burned in his tribe.

Patriarch Hall smiled grinningly and cordially, and accompanied Qin, who was sitting next to him, translated with a smile: "The Patriarch Hall said that I am grateful that the snow werewolves did not forget to care about us in the cold winter, but it is really dangerous to go out in this weather."

Xiao Yun... To be honest, I still can’t accept the Tauren style of communication. I took up my professional qualities and smiled: “In fact, I mainly want to come out and see how other snow wolf tribes are overwintering. Our tribe has just moved. In the past two years, the understanding of the surroundings is limited to the grass-rooted tribes not far from our tribe, so I would like to ask the Hall chief to understand the surroundings."

Here is the right thing to find Tauren...Hall tribe is the closest to the southwest corner of the grassland among the Tauren tribe. How many races and how many tribes are there in this piece? No one can be better than them. Understand-because every year or every other year these tribes come to them to fight the autumn wind.

For example, Saladin did not stay in the tribe at this time, but he took people out to deliver food to a small cat tribe. It is such a benefit that it is not more than one hundred kilometers away from the Tauren tribe. His old and weak cannot get out of the door. , To personally report Tauren is willing to send.

Patriarch Hall understood Xiao Yun's meaning and stared at him suspiciously. Qin's expression was a bit strange.

Xiao Yun and the two of them stared at each other for a while, only to realize that the Tauren’s Madonna was not a mindless Madonna, and they would also be guarded against the behavior of the Tigers, a thigh shot: "Hi, not you As we thought, our Snow Wolf family is not a Tiger family, so we will not attack others!"

Anyway, the Huoyan tribe started to farm the Hall tribe, they knew it clearly, and Xiao Yun did not hide from them. He reported the Huoyan tribe’s development policy a little bit: In short, the Snow Wolf tribe also wanted to develop like the Tauren, Gather more people to farm together.

If the snow wolf adopts the nomadic way, a tribe will not be able to feed many mouths. If it is replaced with farming, it will not only have enough food, but also more than enough, such as the 700,000 pounds of wheat, 500,000 pounds of soybeans, and 50,000 pounds of rice harvested this year. People can afford it too, so the Huoyan Tribe hopes to get in touch with those tribes whose days are not so good...

Of course, it is unreliable to ask others to integrate with themselves as soon as they come up. This is no different from the robbers who rushed to the mainland with guns and guns on the earth and shouted "open the door, free trade", so Xiao Yun again proposed Do not engage in integration until the trust between the two parties reaches a certain level, but you can use other methods to help each other. For example, the Huoyan Tribe uses the geographical advantage closer to the sea to trade with a new human caravan To solve the food shortage problem of some Snow Wolf tribes by hiring manpower for food.

As for raking the grass and playing with rabbits, see if you can make a little more of a gray dwarf... Xiao Yun wisely didn't mention it. He wanted to contact the tauren of the other snow wolf tribes, so he was so vigilant. The reason why they can take Baru smoothly away is because Hongye and Ashan have rescued Shire, otherwise Tauren will not always be transparent.

Xiao Yun has never underestimated these gangs of cow heads. He first stated his ultimate goal, and then explained the relatively mild and non-conflicting compromise communication and communication method adopted to achieve this goal. Hall The patriarch's expression eased quickly.

"Hall Patriarch said, we can help you to contact the Snow Wolf tribe in the western region." Qin stared at Hall for a while and translated with due diligence, "We hope that the tribes on the west of the grassland can be peaceful forever, don't There is conflict on a tribal scale."

This is still relatively gentle, but after listening to Qin’s translation, Xiao Yun unconsciously appeared in his mind a cow-headed monk wearing a cassock, a left-handed zen stick, and a ring knife in his right hand. Just go to **** for the poor monk!

......With these gangs of cow heads daring to challenge the Tigers head-on, so stubborn that the Tigers take a step back, Xiao Yun has no doubt that these guys can do it...

Peaceful development is what Xiao Yun needs most at present. The Tauren clearly expressed the peace expectation with such a clear-cut attitude. How can Xiao Yun quickly catch up with the horse and immediately catch up with the Hall chief—whatever the intention of the Hall chief, he doesn’t care anyway. The Tauren's banner of peace is here!

In case of conflict with anyone, Xiao Yun appointed to drag the Tauren out first... Cough, he designated to tie his own position and the Tauren's peaceful position together.

So Patriarch Hall sent two Tauren warriors to lead the way, and took them to visit the surrounding Snow Wolf tribes-both to lead the way and to monitor. The Patriarch Hall did not completely believe that their gang contacted other Snow Wolf tribes. For the purpose, the two elder brothers sent are stronger than one.

Moreover, the snow werewolf pulls the sled, and the tauren can also pull the sled. The sleigh is also piled with some food and frozen Chinese cabbage. This is by the way to bring warmth...

Continue to go to Qingyan and don’t dare to wave, honestly wrapped in animal skin, sitting with Mumu and Qiu, Xiao Yun pulled the sled, followed the sled of the Tauren warrior in front, and ran in the snow; this, Even if he wasn’t a warrior, Xiao Yun could see that the Tauren did fight against the sky. The Tauren who wouldn’t be transformed by Nima would swing his thick thighs and a little funny hoof. What's going on now!

Feeling the speed disadvantage of the Snow Wolf family is not really for fun!

Ten days later, Xiao Yun and the others who had been skinned thick by the wind returned to the tribe and rested steadily for two days before slowing down. The fat layer that had been fed and drunk for two years was here. In the next day, I lost a clean and suffered a lot!

Of course, this crime is not in vain. The terrain and terrain in the southwest corner of the grassland have little points, and the landmarks that can not be covered by heavy snow are also painted on the cloth roll. The most important thing is that Chun'er is no longer blacked out:

In the southwest corner of the grassland, which is relatively barren, in addition to its own tribe, there are six Snow Wolf tribes. The nearest tribe is actually 40 kilometers northeast of the grassroots tribe, but because of the usual The place is full of water and mountains, and it is impossible to get through in the spring, summer, and autumn, so the two sides have lived together for so many years without knowing that they have a neighbor...

At least in the southwest corner of the grassland that is more than half of the province, the snow werewolf tribes scattered among them are as unremarkable as the few sesame grains thrown together by unscrupulous merchants on the cake. The largest tribe has a hundred mouths. People, the smallest tribe has six or seventy, because of the relationship that has been operating here for a long time, it is not as embarrassing as the Huoyan tribe two years ago. At least it has the size of the original grassroots tribe. Can not starve, can have a newborn.

One of the tribes also kept more than a dozen goblins, relying on the ability of these goblins to find stem food, and relying on the large area of ​​the forest around the tribe, they lived quite well. When Xiao Yun and they came under the guidance of the tauren, this The tribe also took out the sweet potato pieces that they "stocked" around the forest to entertain them... Xiao Yun speculated that it should be that the potato pieces germinated in the bird dung of large birds sprouted, the naturally grown sweet potato vines were found by the goblins, and were sheltered by the snow werewolves The goblin deliberately cultivated these more degraded sweet potatoes, and cultivated this crop by the humus layer provided by the mountain forest... without the awareness of drainage and fertilization, some places were rotten and the starch content was quite choking.

Regardless of how these tribes have lived, the salt and a jar of maltose on Xiao Yun’s sled are the most popular gifts. Smash the gifts and propose to hire some soldiers with food next year. These tribes promised to be very happy- The tauren will also worry that they are deceived, and the generally stupid and snowy werewolves are almost unconscious... making Xiao Yun's heart very complicated.

If the tribes living in the south closest to the seaside were not theirs, if Carlisle met the other Snow Wolf tribes after they landed, Xiao Yun was really worried that the Snow Werewolves would be fooled by that funny knight Dan Claudius. , Ran to a foreign country to serve as a mount for others... It was almost a fire when I remembered it! !

After finishing this matter, the tribe reverted to the state of progress in literacy and learning. In addition to the Barker who was locked in chemistry experiments, there were more red leaves and feathers-hired soldiers and the tribe The soldiers who walked outside would have to rely on them to take them, and teach them how to do it wisely!

So after Hongye and Yu read the story written by Xiao Yun on the bark paper together with others, they will be picked up by Xiao Yun to teach the "story" behind the story-blue fruit, grass roots, Qingyan, Dashui, grass A few of them accompanied them as observers of rubbing lessons.

"Uh... Snow White wanted to run because she would be bullied by her successor if she didn't run?" Yu whispered.

"No, this is just a story on the surface. We can't just look at the surface. To see the essence through the phenomenon, Maomao, you think about it carefully." Xiao Yun shook his head.

The sweat beads on the feather's forehead flowed along the temples, holding it for a while before saying: "That's... Snow White doesn't want to be used by subsequent successors?"

"Well, something has happened, continue." Xiao Yun pointed a little.

"Uh... the nobles in the kingdom support Snow White, and after usurping the throne, they cannot deprive Snow White of inheritance...so...so..."

"So if Snow White is under the control of her successors, then the nobles who support her are likely to be fought by the successors who occupy the name of righteousness before her succession.

Xiao Yun glanced over his eyes: "Hongye, you can't influence him, let him think for himself, what he has come up with is his."

Hongye closed her mouth.

Yu Yu frowns, his eyes are blank, and the whole person is empty... The few who listened to the lesson also frowned, although A Yun will not ask them questions, but they also inevitably think of how to answer if they are asked.

Xiao Yun had to remind him again: "Hongye's answer has her reason. Although you can't copy her answer, but you can refer to her thinking. There are always many ways to solve a thing. Before we actually try it, we It can’t be said that there are standard answers to solving problems—"

"Hmm..." Yu swallowed hard. As a warrior who can survive a lifetime as long as he patrols and hunts diligently, he is forced to learn the incredible "understanding" of depth and strength. "In that case... well, is it because the noble supporters of the kingdom supported the old king and Snow White, and then murdered the old king. To get as much support as possible, Snow White must support her... …If Snow White compromises, it is equal to the subsequent succession?"

"That's right—" Xiao Yun clapped his hands. "The royal family's right to rule lies in the royal family. The queen does not naturally have legal rule. Only when the royal family supports the queen can the queen take the throne. This is not a stepdaughter. The dispute with the subsequent family is about the ruling power and the battle between life and death, so as Snow White, who received royal elite education since childhood, she cannot compromise on this position..."

In the story of "Snow White" by Xiao Yunmokai, Snow White escaped not to run into the forest to be cared for by the seven dwarfs, but to recruit seven nobles by the opportunity of a birthday party and move away with the power of the seven nobles. The castle that covered the sky...

The next thing is to use the struggle between the seven nobles and the princess who succeeded in power, the noble who wants to please the next power, and the successor who wants to kill the princess...

Xiao Yun, who used magic to change the dark fairy tale to forcibly inculcate the humanity's view of human nature and evil in the world, is a little bit avoiding the essence of the struggle for power. He wished he could open up the sharpness of the double-edged blade of power to everyone. Crumbled.

"Let's make an analogy. If the Huoyan patriarch suddenly dies, the position of the patriarch Huoyan has been designated to be succeeded by Hongye before his death. Maomao, you're right... Then at this time, whoever of you can take the position, the support of the clan is particularly important, how do you get the support of the clan?"

"Poof", the grass-root patriarch who was listening directly sprayed.

"Hongye said that I would adhere to the principle of Patriarch Huoyan and would listen to Ayun, which is my suggestion, so that the tribe can continue to grow stronger and grow stronger. And Mao Mao will say, I am ten years older than you, and I know Ayun, too That is the importance of my suggestion. After I die, I will transfer the position of the patriarch to Ayun."

"At this time, in my opinion, and in Ayun's view, the positions of Mao Mao and Hong Ye as successors of the flame tribe are actually not much different. At the same time, Mao Mao suggested that he might die ten years earlier than Hong Ye..."

Hongye and Yu listened to dumb...

Xiao Yun analyzed one pass and the words turned: "... However, there is still a problem here that can't be circumvented. Both of you can speak very well when you are seeking support, but both of you succeeded the patriarch and died. After the grassroot patriarch who is older and has the right to speak like you? What if you are greedy for power and choose your own successor after the death of the grassroot patriarch, or simply yourself as the only patriarch, then your power No one can limit it, and you can kick the person who affects your authority, that is, me..."

Hongye and Yuhan were raining, and the few horrified glances from the audience could not help turning to them.

"And when I was just an adult, how could I compete with one of you who has mastered the tribe for many years? At this time, I have two options, one is to find a way to kill you, the other is to take away some people who trust me, and start the stove. Anyway, I’m still young, and it’s too late to build a new, rich and powerful tribe in ten years..."

Hongye and Yu small face white, a few frightened eyes from the audience fell on Xiao Yun.

"At this time, a new problem has emerged." Xiao Yun's face remained unchanged, and he continued to evolve the situation he assumed. "If I murdered you like the subsequent ones, obviously, this kind of problem involving life and death will cause the tribe No matter how well I do my job of concealment, some people will still distrust me and be separated from me, even fearing me, fearing me, and dispersing people's hearts, even if everyone will still listen to me and execute The efficiency will also be reduced, and even the things that I have arranged are difficult to execute, because you can’t believe without reservation that I will kill you without hesitation in order to fight for power. Everyone will worry that I will not look at him when I see him, which will hurt his head. on."

"..." The Patriarch Patriarch was shocked!

"And if I take a group of people to start another stove, of course it is the best choice for me, but our tribe will also be divided, and the strength will be divided, whether we stay between the two people Those who are still going will be unprecedentedly weaker, and their ability to resist risks and strikes has dropped by more than half. If external forces intervene at this time, then both of us will be slaughtered because of reduced strength."

"The conclusion is that when those of us who have the opportunity to fight for and chase power have selfishness, then no matter how we choose carefully, as long as we consider the starting point of the problem only for ourselves, only for us For the sake of self-interest, then our actions will definitely harm everyone in the tribe."

The whole audience shivered...

"Let's go back to the story itself, and then want to seize the dominance of the old king, murder the old king, causing national shock and part of the aristocracy; Snow White is not willing to give up power, and furiously fights with the successors, resulting in the kingdom. The nobility split again... The ending of the story, the forces of other countries stepped in, supported Snow White, and killed the evil queen, it seems to be a perfect ending, however...At this time, Snow White’s dominance is still pure Is it? Her country is intervened by other countries, and her prestige does not even come from national support, but from other countries. Is this a good thing for the nationals?"

"No." Hongye and Yu unanimously raised their hands together to wipe sweat.

Xiao Yun smiled slightly: "So, a collective, a whole, whether it is our tribe, or the kingdom in the story, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you must work together and focus on the interests of the collective as a whole One interest, the other must concession, this must be our common will. These words are not only shouting to us as managers to the people we lead, but to ourselves, but also to shout again and again, because these of us, These relatively powerful people with greater destructive power to the collective, once selfishness is greater than public opinion, no matter how beautiful we say and how much we have contributed, we will become the most harmful pest to the tribe as a whole. "

"So we have to understand how afraid the outside power struggles are, how ruin everything, and learn to eat thoroughly. This is not just to enable our tribe to deal with foreign forces without losing money, to see through the essence of the superficial phenomena, and at the same time It is also to alert ourselves not to do such stupid things."

This made the people who were scared out of cold sweat nodded together...Although A Yun said it was too much, too deep and too complicated, they still need to spend some time to fully understand, but A Yun’s intentions everyone can feel owned.

Looking at the people who are trying to absorb new knowledge, Xiao Yun was relieved in his heart. He was not afraid of talking about power and human nature. The true and sincere way of getting along. Avoidance and taboo can keep the population from talking, but it cannot be private. If you don’t do it, you will have selfishness. If you don’t recognize the existence of selfishness, it’s self-deception. It’s the right way to limit selfishness to a range with less influence and destructive power.

The wrong example, Xiao Yun sees too much on the earth... Parents who don’t count on want their children to be innocent and pure and hope that their children bring plug-ins to avoid bad guys from being harmed. Just cheated by outsiders, the result is to toss the child crazy; the reality is no longer realistic, the prostitutes who have been deceived, and the five poisonous men hope that women are simply silly love brains, and find that women are not so easy to be fooled, and still have to talk about reality. These men pretended to be hurt and said, "My stupidest thing is to believe that there is love in the world"-these broken things, Xiao Yun doesn't even want to vomit, just pay more attention and lose IQ.

One hundred days have passed in winter, and in three or forty days, the heavy snow should stop. Before the snow stops, Xiao Yun has to hold on again and mobilize all the stupid and clever people...just be coaxed away There must be nothing! The people outside are big hoofs!

The author has something to say: Xiao Yun: The outside world is very afraid, everyone must be fully armed in mind!
