The Ministry of Agriculture employee who was feeding the cattle naturally noticed the man and spoke up:
"Who are you?"
The man hurriedly said, "I am from the Wild Ox Clan. I came looking for an ox, and then that envoy gave me this?"
As he spoke, the man lifted the bull nose ring in his hand.
The Ministry of Agriculture employee laughed and said, "Then I'll go with you and help you get the IUD inserted."
"Thank you." The man hadn't expected the envoy from the Zhuxia tribe to be so kind.
Soon, the man found his cow, and the agricultural official easily put a nose ring on it.
An employee of the Ministry of Agriculture smiled and said, "This will make grazing easier in the future."
The man hesitated for a moment: "Can I take it with me?"
An official from the Ministry of Agriculture said, "In principle, we definitely agree to let you take it."
But where do you plan to lock it up? You don't even have your own real residence.
Here's what you'll do: you take it out to graze every day, and after the cows have eaten their fill, you can put it back in here.
In this way, we can easily recycle cow dung and make fertilizer.
Don't worry, Niu Guan is here; we won't take anything from you.
The man thought about it and realized that it made sense. He was only temporarily settled. If he were to take another cow back and cause a stench, even the most good-natured envoys of the Zhuxia tribe would not speak to him so kindly anymore.
So the man bowed to the young man in front of him.
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
…
The Great Witch Temple.
Accompanied by Wu Xian, Wu She met the supreme leader of the Zhuxia tribe, Wu Hou.
"So young," Wu She thought to herself.
The person in front of me looks so young, yet he doesn't seem immature at all.
"The former Yeniu clan's shaman, Wushe, wishes to join the Zhuxia clan with his entire clan and be a subject of the Zhuxia forever! He wishes to follow the shaman to sweep across the wilderness and revitalize our Zhuxia."
Wu She immediately performed a grand salute.
Wu She's teacher was named Wu Kang, who was a rare wise man among the great shamans of the Wild Ox Clan.
He led the Wild Buffalo Clan, which had been nearly destroyed by the various tribes, to rebuild its strength.
Wu Kang once instructed Wu She, "When undertaking great tasks, one must be decisive, willing to humble oneself to obtain them, without regretting one's own life."
This is how Wu Kang taught Wu She, and this is how he did it.
Wu Kang, as the chief shaman of his tribe, personally traveled to various tribes.
The three small tribes that had once targeted the Wild Buffalo Clan also declined rapidly under Wu Kang's strategy of alliance, until they were completely wiped out from this world.
Hou Wenjie helped Wu She up. From the fact that Wu She had so quickly brought his entire clan to him, Hou Wenjie realized that he was no ordinary person.
A mediocre person who clings to the status quo may be wary of the outstanding abilities of his subordinates.
But an enterprising person would prefer to have subordinates who are brave, diligent, and talented.
Hou Wenjie laughed and said, "Wu She follows the trend of destiny and does not cling to falsehoods; this is great wisdom."
"Wu She, would you be willing to join the Elders' Council and discuss the grand plan for the Xia people with us?"
Wu She bowed again: "That is indeed my wish, I dare not ask for more!"
This time, Hou Wenjie not only allowed Wu She to directly enter the Elders' Council, but Wu Xian was also promoted from the Council of State to the Elders' Council for his meritorious service as an envoy.
From then on, the Zhuxia Elders' Department had four members, which can be considered a small expansion.
Afterwards, Hou Wenjie had a long talk with Wu She, mainly about how to get the Ye Niu clan to integrate into the Chinese society as soon as possible.
First, militarily, all soldiers were to be dispersed and reorganized, and they were required to strictly adhere to the military regulations of the Chinese states.
All soldiers must learn the Chinese script and be able to read military texts. Those who do not study diligently will be punished according to military regulations.
Secondly, there was the matter of people's livelihood. All women organized themselves to learn weaving, silkworm rearing, and cooking.
All the children learn to read and write, and they herd livestock.
All the elderly people were categorized and learned woodworking, coal making, papermaking, fishing, oil making, and so on.
Some young and middle-aged men learned iron smelting and forging, construction, herbal medicine collection and pharmaceutical production, brick and ceramic firing, and cement firing.
Under Hou Wenjie's arrangement, everyone will contribute to their own family and to the growth of the Chinese nation.
Wu She listened as Hou Wenjie meticulously arranged everything, speaking in a calm and understated manner, yet brimming with wisdom.
Naturally, he felt even greater respect for him.
The feeling that Wu Hou gave him transcended time and age; it was a sense of oppression stemming from wisdom and intellect.
After a long talk with Wu Hou, Wu She, accompanied by Wu Xian, visited many places along the way.
He watched as bamboo was crushed and as papermakers used bamboo screens to scoop pulp from the pulp vat.
He saw the coal that Wu Xian had mentioned, and he saw the blast furnace for iron smelting. So this was iron ore? Wu She stroked the iron ore in his hand.
He saw vegetable patches full of green vegetables and neatly arranged square fields.
Wu She learned from Wu Xian that the green seedlings in those fields would grow into rice. And the rice would be very filling and would become the staple food of the Xia people.
Wu She lingered on the edge of the field for a long time, watching for a long time.
He recognized the seedlings; they grew on the lands of the Buffalo Clan.
Once these seedlings reach maturity, they will be covered with many small grains.
He never knew that these tiny particles could be used to fill his stomach.
Is this the wisdom from heaven?
After that, he saw artisans firing pottery. Compared to the pottery of the Buffalo Clan, the pottery of these artisans was much more exquisite. It was like comparing heaven and earth.
For the people of the Buffalo Clan, pottery only needed to be leak-proof, but the pottery made by these craftsmen even had many patterns.
Then he saw a group of craftsmen making utensils out of wood.
Wu Xian introduced him to the two-wheeled cart, the wooden bucket, the large bed, the chair, and so on.
Next, Wu She came to the riverbank, where some craftsmen were building boats.
He saw the fishing net that Wu Xian had mentioned, which was completely incomparable to the wild buffalo clan's method of stabbing fish with sharpened sticks and catching them with nets.
After that, Wu She witnessed the weaving process, watching as silk was woven into cloth with the shuttle, and then the cloth was made into clothing.
Finally, Wu She saw the most unique building in Chaoge City.
Wu Xian looked at Wu She and said with a smile, "This building is called the Clock Tower, and that is a pendulum clock."
Wuhou divided a day into 24 hours, an hour into 60 minutes, and a minute into 60 seconds.
The three hands of the pendulum clock represent the second hand, minute hand, and hour hand respectively!
This pendulum clock can record time accurately regardless of wind or rain, day or night.
I was also shocked when I saw it before.
Perhaps the most unpredictable thing in the world is time.
In the past, I used sunrise and sunset to measure the passage of time.
Now, this pendulum clock clearly tells me that time is passing by, second by second.
Just like the waters of this great river, flowing ceaselessly day and night into the East Sea.
When I was on my mission, the Marquis of Wu pointed to the waters of the great river and said to me, “Humans living between heaven and earth should be like that ceaseless great river, with the ambition to flow eastward to the sea.”
Examine yourself daily, and do not slack off or waste time.
"If this is done, then those above will be able to receive the Mandate of Heaven, and those below will be able to cultivate patience and perseverance; then the Chinese people will surely prosper!"
Upon hearing this, Wu She was filled with emotion. After a long while, he bowed deeply to Wu Xian.
