I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 504 Something Should Be Done

The plan of the day is in the morning.

The plan for a year lies in spring.

Every spring will be the busiest time for the residents, not only to remove the useless things in winter, but also to prepare for the new year's livelihood.

Now no head of state will put on a show and work. If he has the time to put on a show, he can do whatever he should.

When he was the eldest son, Zhiyao at most just wandered around the various fiefs, and his appearance was to express his attitude of attaching importance to it, and it was more of a kind of supervision of the local magistrates, to inspect what happened.

Currently there is an official position called Quannong, who is responsible for local farming.It is said to be "persuasion", but it is actually supervision, and small reports are very effective.

Administrative officials are not as simple and straightforward as the victory or defeat of the military. Their political achievements are all in some trivial matters. What can best reflect their ability is the annual output of the jurisdiction. Political achievements are linked to how much tax they can pay.

Because of the completion of the water conservancy project on the edge of the big river, Zhiyao naturally needs to express his importance and come to host this year's spring broadcast in person.

According to the previous routine, it is nothing more than offering sacrifices to the gods of the four directions and praying to them for good weather.

As for offering sacrifices to God?In the Ji and Zhou Dynasties, it was not allowed to offer sacrifices to heaven.

After it was Yuan country's turn to become independent, Zhiyao was not qualified to sacrifice to heaven at first, but after it was his turn to be qualified to sacrifice to heaven, Zhiyao stopped rejecting God.

In order to make his rule stable, Ji Fa abandoned his biological father's gift of flesh and blood and nurturing, and thought he was God's own son.

If there is really a God, there is a high probability that Ji Fa will be slapped to death with a slap, and then he "humph" and said unhappily: What the fuck, he is trying to inherit Lao Tzu's inheritance!
Zhiyao can't just say that she doesn't want to be God's son. Excessive force all of a sudden will cause people who are used to it to become unaccustomed, so they can only take vague operations.

Yuan Guo will not deliberately eliminate the majesty of the heavens, but worshiping the heavens does not know how to worship the heavens, and even needs to operate to separate the three emperors and five emperors from the personality of the heavenly emperor.

As for the various grass-headed gods?Zhiyao found that the original country did not have a strong religious atmosphere, and had already ordered all localities to crack down on prostitution.

So, Zhiyao presided over the sacrifice and worshiped Shennong, and by the way, he paid homage to Dayu.

"Live to be a mythical figure? The more such people in Zhuxia, the better!" Zhiyao's worship is not because of superstition, but with a mentality of reporting to the sages.

Do you think Zhu Xia has never experienced religious fanaticism?During the period from Xia to Shang, all kinds of witches were the sky and the earth, controlling the lifeline of the country.

How many things Di Xin did wrong in history is not the premise of being a witness with his own eyes, and it is most appropriate to adopt neutrality.

It is undeniable that the Emperor Xin sent troops to open up everywhere, and the strength of the attack on religion was unmatched by the previous kings.

With Di Xin's attack on all kinds of witches, there was room for Ji Zhou to manipulate later. Otherwise, those witches would allow Ji Zhou to abandon their gods and recognize God as his son?
People need spiritual sustenance, and there will inevitably be religious worship. Zhiyao thinks it is good to worship the sages.

Of course, it is inevitable that the folks will make their own gods, and even the government will make gods.

How did many mythical figures in later generations come about?I'm not kidding, many of them are because various novels or folk tales are widely spread, and there are more people talking about virtual characters, and virtual characters are myths, and then have gods.

Such as Hongjun.This self-created character appeared in a novel called "Fengshen Yanyi" in the Ming Dynasty. Before the Internet age, how many people knew that there were too many novels waiting for the flood, and the readers were subtly known about the identity of the Taoist ancestor.Taoism has never recognized its status, but there are enough people who have that recognition, and as time goes by, when will it really become the ancestor of Taoism?
A copy of "Fengshen Yanyi" has enriched Zhuxia's Taoist system, and many novel characters in it really have gods.

Besides, Guan Erye, without the promotion of the Qing Dynasty, the real Guan Yu actually has a lot of criticisms, isn't he also a god?

Zhiyao will also make gods.

writing a novel?That's impossible to write a novel about!It takes more time and energy to write a novel than imagined, and there may not be readers after writing it, so don't do it if you don't want to suffer.

What Zhiyao will do is to set up temples and invite some deceased officials who have made meritorious service.

In many novels, sacrifices are set up for soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. Why didn't Zhiyao do it?This is related to Zhiyao's growth trajectory, and then it is the particularity of the times. Dare to do so will cause riots in the whole society.

To put it simply, enlisting in the army is not only an honor, but also a lot of benefits. Furthermore, the original country was not built in ruins, and there was no need to drive away any invaders. Obligations and Responsibilities.

Although the Yuan State, which inherited the Jin State's legacy, is a military-oriented country, there are still some things that cannot be played around.

One thing to know is that enjoying incense in Zhuxia has always been a very serious matter. Playing around will not only destroy Guozuo, but also affect not only the contemporary people.

Regardless of the background, regardless of the characteristics of the times, everything is copied mechanically, what's wrong?
After presiding over the sacrifice, Zhiyao must inspect the water conservancy project, and then go to inspect the construction of the new capital.

In the originally desolate area, after the completion of the water conservancy project, villages followed.

It is more appropriate to say that these villages are farms. They are all organized and disciplined production organizations, not pure villages.

According to actual needs, in fact, the original country should also build a city locally, as an administrative hub, and at the same time increase the sense of security of the local people.

"Here..." Zhiyao saw a hut next to the sluice.

Zhiying, who accompanied the inspection, said in a low voice: "In the beginning, it was the place where the Dou family remembered the elders of the family, and Li Shu came to kowtow spontaneously."

Is that the temple of Dou Ji?

Needless to say, in the Song Dynasty, there were people in the Song Dynasty who were grateful for Dou Ji's achievements in opening canals and promoting water conservancy, and spontaneously built a temple for Dou Ji.

This is one of the examples of what has been done, which has benefited the world and future generations, and succeeded in enshrining the gods.

There are many similar examples, and generally the influence is not great, but some people are remembered by future generations because of their actions, gained godhood, and live in the hearts of the people.

Zhiyao chose to pretend that she didn't know that the hut was a temple.

If you look into it, maybe it's just a place for contemplation. It's a fact that one day the gods will be enshrined, and it can be regarded as a kind of obscenity.

However, to be honest, Dou Ji has indeed done a lot of things that benefit the people, destroying or more drastic actions, let alone how the Dou family will feel, I am afraid that Li Shu will have resentment.

For those in power, Li Shu's resentment will be extremely important if they think it is important, but it is just the same thing if they think it doesn't matter.

As for the accumulation of resentment over a long period of time, to the extent that "the time will be mourned, and everyone will die", anyway, it hasn't happened yet.

"Should I...shall I report to the prince first, and then remind the Dou family?" Zhiying was thinking about this now.
