Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 341 On Xia
"Original body!"

"When will you become the only one in the world and rule over all the mountains and rivers?"

new summer,

The two He Bo sat opposite each other by the water.

One of them said this while handing over a coconut core cake to himself who had come from afar.

This was a new thing he had specially come up with in order to welcome the arrival of his real body.

Speaking of sincerity,

That is definitely much more than what little He Bo earned while working hard in South Vietnam!

But He Bo just looked at this new summer specialty in silence, then pinched a little and put it in his mouth to chew.

Ok,
It’s quite delicious!
After finishing the welcoming meal,

Anhe Shuibo called his original body again and invited him to go out and play in the surrounding area.

Although they are essentially two bodies and one mind,
But we still have to observe the proper etiquette.

They first went to Gongzi Chao's grave and had a dinner party.

After all, eating only one steamed bun is not enough to welcome He Bo.

Therefore,
After Anhe Shuibo selected a place with beautiful scenery and wide view on Zuling Mountain, he set out many delicious foods and wines.

He also asked King Wen of Xia and his son to come out, one to fan him and the other to pour wine, and they started to serve him.

He Bo enjoyed this grand reception and pointed to the trees standing tall on top of the mausoleum and expressed his opinion:
"This tree really stands out... The surrounding grass and trees are sparse and short, but this tree is so tall, just like the pigtails on a child's head."

King Xia and his son, who were standing nearby, could not help but cough when they heard He Bo's comments.

They planted this tree themselves.

After all, the experience of digging holes at the graves of ancestors is truly unforgettable.

For this,

An He's clone just said "oh" calmly, and then told him frankly, "I did this!"

"The water and heat are a bit extreme here in the new summer. When it's hot and dry, a lot of grass and trees will wither."

"It was so hot a few years ago that even here at the ancestral tomb, large tracts of trees died."

"I can't let my old friend be exposed to the sun like this!"

"So, I transferred the vitality of the surrounding plants to this tree, so that it can be evergreen."

finished,

Anhe Shuibo puffed out his chest proudly, as if he had done a great thing and was the only good friend in the world.

“There’s only one tree!”

"It's good to have one, but it's even worse if there are too many!"

Shui Bo waved his sleeves gracefully, still looking proud.

"Anyway, the next step is to find a way to conquer this mountain. By then, Gongzi Chao and the others will be lying right under my nose. How can I treat my friends unfairly?"

He Bo nodded in agreement and didn't dwell on it anymore.

He simply turned his head, glanced at the Xia King and his son beside him and said, "How come he still looks so haggard after being dead for so long?"

Generally speaking,
Dead ghosts are not bothered by the trivial matters of the human world, and their descendants in the world of the living are endless and provide them with constant offerings, so most of them live a comfortable and easy life.

They are nothing like King Wen of Xia and his people.

His face was haggard, his beard was gray, and he was full of resentment for the hard work and running around.

"That's for sure, they are the only two of my men now!"

“I rely on them a lot!”

"That's okay!" He Bo suddenly realized.

However, the resentment in the eyes of King Xia and his son became even stronger.

Subsequently,

He Bo went to watch the court meetings of the Xinxia monarch and his ministers, as well as the lives of the local people.

This time,

The two Kings of Xia have something to say.

After hearing He Bo praise Xia for its kindness and generosity to its people, they perked up and asked a bold question:
"Then I dare to ask!"

"In He Bo's eyes, which country is better, Han or Xia?"

“Everything is fine!”

It can ensure that the people have enough food and clothing, and that they can get help and relief even when natural disasters strike. How can this be considered a bad thing?

"Then is it possible for the Xia Kingdom to compete with the Han people for the legitimacy of the Xia people and become the emperor?"

Now the scope of the Xia Dynasty,
There has been a huge expansion.
The efficiency of the descendants of Yan and Huang, who originated from the banks of the Yellow River, in conquering and occupying land in the past two hundred years is no less than that of the great feudal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty - although the Zhou emperor did paint a big pie for the princes and scattered them to many places that he had never really controlled,
But by the time the Zhou tripod was moved and the destiny of Qin was determined, the princes had already eaten the big pie of that year into their own stomachs through their own efforts.

The footsteps of the gentlemen of the Xia Dynasty,
Therefore, they completely walked away from both sides of the Yellow River.
Walk to the area north of Yanshan Mountain and south of Wuyue.

And now,
The Qin and Xia states outside the territory each had a population of one million and occupied a vast territory.

The number of people is not small.
The land is vast.
The country cannot be said to be unstable.

The treasury is well stocked.

in this way,

It is normal to have progressive ideas.

When hearing such questions,

He Bo just glanced at the rather nervous King Xia, then pondered for a moment and asked him, "Have you ever forged iron tools?"

King Wen of Xia said, "When I started my army to quell the rebellion, the situation was very difficult, and I did forge swords and arrows with the craftsmen."

"So what do you think we need to pay attention to in order to make a sharp sword?"

"It requires a lot of forging, but not too much."

“It requires frequent sharpening, but not excessive.”

At this point, King Wen of Xia understood what He Bo meant.

He stopped talking and just let out a sigh.

His son, King Cheng of Xia, was still asking, "Why are you saying this?"

So his father told him, "You are a king who has always maintained the status quo. You have never experienced war, so how can you understand these things?"

King Cheng of Xia was unconvinced and said, "I once personally led an army to conquer the rebellious kingdom of Sindhu in the south, conquered its capital, and captured its ruler!"

He also has some martial arts skills!

King Xia Wen then blew his beard and glared at him, "How dare you talk like that!"

"You have such martial arts skills, but you still haven't been given a temple name. Doesn't this explain something?"

The countries of Sindhu,

Since the founding of the New Xia State, it has been famous for breaking into pieces at the slightest hit and falling to its knees at the slightest touch.

How can I possibly get enough training by comparing myself with such an opponent?

The achievements of King Wen of Xia
But it was swept up in the civil strife in Xinxia.

At that time, many heroes of Xia State emerged.
How could the people from Sindhu commit fraud?
therefore,

Those ministers who had followed King Wen of Xia and experienced that chaotic period naturally looked down on King Cheng's "military achievements".

You can't reward people for beating children, right?
As for the Great Yuezhi in the north,

After they migrated to the area across the river, they became much more docile. The comfortable life made them better at singing and dancing, and they no longer had the ferocity they had in the east.

east,

There are huge mountains and plateaus that are so high that they make people feel terrified and can't help but worship them.

Xinxia can't go up, and the people there can't come down.

west,

Although the Qin State has been actively expanding in recent years,
However, due to geographical conditions, there was bound to be a vast uninhabited area between Qin and Xia, which the monarch did not want to manage seriously and outsiders were too lazy to invade.

"As a result, although Xiaguo has a uniquely stable environment, its future is also restricted."

King Wen of Xia finally said dejectedly, "I used to be proud of how I managed the country to be rich and powerful. After meeting Ying Pijiang, the prince of Qin who had fled here, I secretly began to think about seizing the title of 'Son of Heaven'."

"Unfortunately, fate has already been determined."

He Bo comforted him, "It's okay, as long as we manage the water and soil here well, Xia Country will still have a bright future!"

Heavenly Father, Earthly Mother,

The latter is kind and has opened its arms, providing a safe area for the child to grow and thrive in its arms.

But the former did not let go of any living creatures here.

Like Dayu, we can control floods.
Like Kuafu chasing the sun,

That is also a kind of tempering!

"That is, remember the teachings of our ancestors and live your life well. This is the most fundamental thing."

"How can efforts made for the pursuit of fame and fortune continue forever?"

Among the heroes of ancient times, there were many who were cautious and prudent when they were in obscurity, and who did everything themselves. However, after becoming successful, they became carried away and immersed themselves in wealth and comfort, so that all their previous efforts were wasted and they were unable to finish what they had started. Are there not many such people?
Chen Sheng is in the underworld,
Occasionally, Ji Wu would grab me and give me a beating!

Anhe Shuibo comforted King Xia in this way, then took out a coconut core cake that he had made himself from his arms and handed it to the other party.
