Chapter 225 The Altar
In the ginger valley.

In front of Jiangcheng, in the middle of a wide square, stands a huge pyramid-shaped altar with a side length of 20 meters and a height of ten meters.

There is also a "ginger" totem on the top of the altar, which flutters in the wind, which is very spectacular.

In front of the huge altar, on the flat ground, lay a square pottery tripod. The pottery tripod was one meter high, and a raging flame had already been ignited. The firewood added with tung oil fueled the fire.

On both sides in front of the altar, there were two rows of 50 warriors in total, wearing battle armor, holding spears on their backs, looking majestic, looking solemnly at the back of the pottery tripod and at the pile of sacrifices.

A bison had its head chopped off in the morning. The huge head was laid flat on the stone table, and the two pointed horns rushed to the sky. The closed eyes of the bull looked very solemn.

In addition, on both sides of the bull's head, there are roasted pigs, whole chickens, roasted whole sheep, various fruits and grains, as well as black and white witch fruits, and mulberry fruit wine imported from the Lieshan tribe. Respectfully and neatly placed.

Although almost all the members of the Jiang tribe do not know what kind of ceremony the tribe is going to hold at this moment, judging from the attire of the village chiefs, captains, and high-level officials, it seems that this is something that has never happened before in the history of the Jiang tribe. Solemn ceremony.

In the midst of great anticipation, Li Yan changed his usual leisurely attire into a yellow silk commoner dress, the style of the commoner is Hanfu, with a mighty dragon embroidered on the front of the dress, and an emperor with pearls strung on his head. The crown, this attire makes him heroic and majestic, giving people a lofty, sacred and inviolable atmosphere.

Beside him, Jiang Mu and Bai Wu stood on his left and right respectively, and behind him were a group of department heads and village heads.

Behind the altar, there are still people playing various musical instruments, playing bursts of exciting and mysterious music.

Li Yan and the others walked all the way from the front of the tribal people to the altar under the accompaniment of the music, and then everyone stopped, while Li Yan continued to walk up the altar.

Li Yan walked to the highest point of the altar, and then faced hundreds of people in the square. Those people included old people, children, and adults, all from different clans, and then merged into the Jiang tribe.

Whether it was the Stone Tribe, the Ge Tribe, or the Zhao Tribe and the Yang Tribe, they were all taken back by Li Yan himself.

, before, Li Yan told them that everything must obey his orders. Although this was just talk, but judging from the present, the effectiveness of this verbal promise seems to be weakening little by little, so Li Yan has to renew Take over the entire Jiang tribe, so that the entire Jiang tribe will respect him and be the emperor.

The matrilineal clan disintegrated, the patrilineal clan rose, productivity developed rapidly, the patrilineal primitive society was directly skipped, and feudalism had sprouted. Now, the best way to rule them is feudal rule and the implementation of a monarchy, and Li Yan is the leader of the tribe. Monarch, with supreme power!
Under the stage, a group of witches and wizards from various clans came out and danced a solemn primitive dance.

Wu is the spiritual pillar of each clan. This grotesque dance did not arouse laughter, but was respected by everyone present!

After the dance, Mu (grandmother) of each clan, all the witches and village chiefs kneeled respectfully in front of the altar, facing Li Yan, even Mu and Baiwu from the Jiang tribe were no exception.

This kneeling made all the people present feel agitated. The Wu and Mu of each clan are inheritors and the most honorable people. How could they kneel down to a patriarch or a man?
Kneeling means surrender, the surrender of the inferior to the superior, and it also means a change of status.

This kneeling meant that even the wizards and grandmothers of various clans would submit to Li Yan.

How noble the wizard and the old grandmother are, but now they all kneel in front of the Jiang clan patriarch.

After kneeling for a while, these nobles stood up.

Jiang Mu held a shoulder bone, looked at it carefully, and then said solemnly: "Yan, the patriarch of the Jiang clan, made plows and smelted iron, sowed grain, made pottery, and opened markets. The shaman got the enlightenment from the Heavenly Emperor and the ancestor gods, and must respect Jiang Yan as 'Emperor Yan' and Shennong's family from now on."

"From now on, everyone in the Jiang Tribe must obey the orders of Emperor Yan Shennong. Anyone who violates them will be punished by heaven. It is the responsibility of the ancestors and gods of all tribes. They must not follow their ancestors after death!"

After Jiang Mu finished speaking, the people present fell silent on the spot. No one expected that the witches of the tribe would make such a decision today. However, those witches said that they were inspired by the gods and ancestors. They began to slowly accept the fact that in their beliefs, the heavenly emperor and ancestor gods are the greatest, while the tribal witches act as messengers to communicate with heaven and earth.

The shaman used the saying of the ancestors in the sky to manage the tribe and impart knowledge. Now, the shaman said that Li Yan is the messenger of the gods, and he must be respected as the emperor, so the people present chose to believe in Li Yan one by one, and respected Li Yan as the emperor of Yan.

"Emperor Yan!"

"Emperor Yan!" "Emperor Yan!"

I don't know who started to shout the name of Emperor Yan. Slowly, the people present began to join in, and cheers echoed in the valley.

After everyone calmed down, Li Yan gave a solemn speech: "The Emperor of Heaven and the ancestors of the various clans are above all. Now the Jiang people respect me as Emperor Yan. I have the responsibility to protect them and lead the Jiang tribe to prosperity. , the branches and leaves are growing, I want to let the ginger tribe pass on for hundreds of generations, thousands of generations, and tens of thousands of generations, and hope that the gods will bless my ginger tribe for generations to come!"

Below, everyone followed Li Yan and shouted: "May the gods bless my Jiang tribe to prosper forever!"

Next, Jiang Mu and the Mus of other ethnic groups walked on the stage respectfully, once again expressed to everyone that Li Yan is the messenger of God, and commended the merits Li Yan had done during this period, and said that in the future the tribal people Li Yan has to hand over his life to Li Yan and obey Li Yan's orders.

Naturally, the people in the audience had no objection, and echoed and agreed one by one.

The sacrifice lasted for a day, and the tribal people basically accepted the fact that Li Yan was the emperor, or to them, Li Yan was just a collection of patriarch, witch and mu, and the highest authority of the tribe.

And Li Yan, who was elected by his relatives to be the emperor, seemed to realize that it was not enough to be the emperor, and he could not control the tribe well. He had to think of a way to manage the tribe well.

He visited the tribe for several days, and finally thought of a way to manage the tribe better. This way was of great help to his rule, and he could even better control the tribe.

He decided to add an administrative agency to improve the management system.
