Chapter 116 Year-end inspection

If a child likes to play with mud, don't blame him, because this is the inheritance of experience recorded in the human genes. Playing with mud is the basic ability to make pottery. Crushing the soil into shapes and then roasting it through flames is the source of pottery in the early stages of human civilization.

Yunyao is playing with mud for next year's great harvest. She is justified because playing with mud is of great use, and Nuwa is playing with mud.

Of course, there are professionals who make pottery. Knowledge is monopolized in the hands of pottery people, but Yun Yao is a time traveler, which makes her difficult. You can make ten adobe bricks a day, first place it in a cool place to dry in the shade, and then roast it on fire.

Soon Yunyao made more than 100 clay pots, and more than 100 broken clay pots were treated as targets for arrow training, and all of them were shot into pieces. Yunyao made into a mosaic pattern, and the word "Zhu" was spelled out in the center of the fief.

Both the Chinese and the savages were shocking. Unexpectedly, putting the fragments together had such a magical effect. They followed suit and used fragments such as small stones and shells to play mosaics on the walls. This was popular in Caiqi.

"Is this my originality?" Yun Yao wondered if he had created a new art form?

No, as early as a thousand years ago, jade puzzles were used in human tombs, but the number was relatively small and not popular. It should be said that Yunyao made the mosaic popular because she saw that everyone in the fief was interested, so she pioneered the invention of the "map".

Not everyone has the ability to make composition. Some people may want to make mosaic puzzles to decorate the walls, but when they collect the materials, they find that they can't start. Facing the blank walls, they don't know how to make the fragments into a complete picture.

At this time, if there are design drawings or reference objects, they can imitate them.

So Yunyao burned some example pictures on the bamboo slips for reference for the savages. Since everyone is interested, Yunyao naturally would not be stingy and spent time and energy to create the "twelve example pictures", including flowers, grass, trees, birds, dogs, pigs, clouds, sun, moon, carriages, archery, and houses.

Yun Yao first put the bamboo slips together and treated them as a complete plane. After carving the pattern, hemp rope and leather made the bamboo slips. Although there were gaps, they did not affect the pattern.

With these twelve bamboo slips, even the savages can quickly get started with mosaic patterns, and new materials are constantly being developed, not only stones and shells, but also branches and broken leaves. Anyway, everything that can be divided into pieces can be used for creation.

It can be said that Yun Yao's "Twelve Examples" has pioneering significance, and it greatly develops the intelligence and aesthetics of the Zhou people in conjunction with the mosaic puzzle. At the same time, it also makes everyone realize that in addition to murals, paintings can also be made on bamboo slips.

So in addition to mosaics, bamboo sketches also became popular.

We cannot underestimate the working people of the Western Zhou Dynasty. After seeing the "Twelve Pictures", they quickly saw through this method of making pictures.

In the past, bamboo slips were made into silhouettes first and then engraved on them, but the picture sketches were obviously engraved with drawings before making bamboo slips, so the marks on the bamboo slips would be connected at the end.

So this winter, starting from Yunyao's fiefdom, an artistic trend spread to the entire Lu Kingdom. Yunyao's twelve pictures spread along with Ling Ren and the envoys who investigated Yunyao's fiefdom.

Lingren did not finish picking ice in one batch. There were several batches in total. After they arrived, they were deeply attracted by the mosaic patterns and tried to make them at their own home after they returned.

The envoy who inspected the fief directly took away the bamboo slips of twelve pictures, saying that they would take them back for the whole country to appreciate them to demonstrate the achievements of the Zhu family.

Business fiefing is not about doing whatever you want, because each fief has many public things, and there are standards for whether the fiefing is good or not. Therefore, there is an ordinary inspection every year and a major inspection every three years.

The investigation was not only aimed at Yunyao, but also at the scholastic men in the fief. Because Yunyao was a nobleman, even if he was not well-managed, he was still a nobleman, but the scholar had to take the blame.

Therefore, when the insurgent came to the fiefdom with the cold wind, Shuzai was the most nervous. Although the Zhu family's fief was very good, he couldn't help but worry about any mistakes. If he was caught, his salary would be deducted at the least, and he would be punished by the king at the worst. He had to be cautious.

Yunyao also took out the canoe, cowhide raft and empty gourds that cross the river to the sun and receive inspection by the envoy.

If the gourd is broken, it needs to be replaced with a new one. There are gourd vines in the fief. The big gourd belongs to Yunyao, and the small gourds are all divided into various families to make gourds.

The carriageman wiped the carriage cleanly and fed the horse with the dog.

The teacher is much more relaxed. His job is education. Yunyao is completely fine. Moreover, there is no crime in the fief. Instead, there are many mosaic puzzles added to show that his education is successful.

Wild people don't need to be examined, so they can be busy with their own affairs.

Yunyao's thatched cottage was also inspected because it is also a public facility, a place to receive guests for dinner, and is the face of Lu, and has strict requirements.

The envoy came to Caiwei and conducted a meticulous inspection of Caiwei and found that it was good: "Mr. Zhu is about to inherit the title for three years, but it has made the Zhu family's fief look brand new. It is really not easy. I see that there are patterns on the walls of every family in your fief, which are very beautiful. I wonder what this is called?"

This is not the first time the messenger has come to the Zhu family, but this year there has been a big change. The Zhu family has already been disappointed and has been cheering up, and has also played many new tricks.

During the rainy season in summer, Zhu Nu Kemu Yulong's poems spread throughout the streets and alleys, and everyone was chanted. In the autumn archery ceremony, Yun Yao even showed the human race's five-shooting skills, and became the number one archery skill in Lu's country with absolute advantage, which made the matchmakers unable to help but want to tell her a good husband. However, it was soon reported in the capital that Zhu Nu's conditions for selecting a husband were very high, and she was better than her, which made the matchmakers retreat and felt that Yun Yao was too angry.

"The messenger has over-rewarded, this is called a puzzle." They don't understand mosaics, so they just call it "puzzle".

This is the first time the messenger has heard of "Jigsaw Puzzle?"

"In fact, it's just murals, but murals are painted with paints, while puzzles are made of broken objects." Yun Yao said.

"So that's it." The messenger found it interesting: "How good is the jigsaw puzzle compared to murals?"

"Of course, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The puzzle cannot be as delicate as a mural. However, there are many sources of raw materials for puzzles. You can make puzzles that can be made by any piece of paper, so you don't have to find pigments specifically." Yun Yao said: "Our savages in fiefs have also learned puzzles. It's just right to cultivate their sentiments in winter."

"Can savages learn?" The master was surprised, because savages and art are completely different.
