From Chief to Ball

"Hundreds of years later, where the branches and leaves are scattered, the same language and the same species, the barbarians have assimilated, forgotten the language and customs of their ancestors, and regarded them as Xia people. All the land that can be cultivated is fertile land, and all the mines that are mined are full of smoke, road repairs and trade exchanges .”

"The mouth of the character 'country' is already big enough, so the border of the character 'country' will also become bigger. Later, when a descendant takes charge of the military, annexes and conquests, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains become the country, wouldn't that be great? "

Red Fish leisurely looked at the word on the snow, thought of the four simple but magnificent scrolls of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, reminisced about the many stories Chen Jian told her, and let out a long sigh.

"It's all very well what you said and what, but neither you nor I can see it."

"There is a boat across the sea, and there is a car on the road. This kind of distance can always see the end, even if it is thousands of miles, it can always be reached."

"However, the time is far away, so how can it be crossed?"

Chapter 81 Country ([-])

The national characters left on the snow are the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains from the tribes of Dahe, not the three hundred miles of the city outline of the surnames in Xiacheng. This is doomed that the dream of Xiaguo needs more people to support and participate.

But now that dream seems a little too far away.

The conspirators fled, and what was left to everyone was a Xia city that was fragmented, clan hatred continued, currency collapsed, and the grassroots was chaotic.

A large amount of super-issued currency makes the currency lose its meaning in Xia City; the instigated clan hatred makes people who survived the turmoil resent each other; the divided public property will offend many people if they want to take it back...

Counting slaves, during the period from May to the end of the year, nearly 11 people died in the Xiacheng system, more than [-] mu of land was not cultivated, and [-] cattle died due to insufficient forage and war.

These deaths are not final, there are more than 400 conspirators and supporters who fled to the grassland, taking a large number of servants and slaves with them.These people will definitely kill a group to bear these losses and appease everyone's hatred.And they took away more materials such as war horses, copper, and cattle.

More than 900 old Xiacheng people fled into the mountains and forests to the east because they were involved in the whirlpool and worried about Chen Jian's punishment when he returned.

Fortunately, Xia Guo's family can bear these losses, so it will not be difficult to maintain.

For those who follow Chen Jian to build a city from scratch, spring is coming soon, Ji Xia is back, and everything will be better if it survives.

The clan's reputation has gone bankrupt, but Chen Jian's reputation is still there; winter is coming, spring is coming, there is always hope.

On December 26, the grassroots officials of Chen Jian's lineage in the Langpi fiefdom returned to Xiacheng, met with the young officials who had followed Chen Jian back from Yucheng, and established the management organization of Xiacheng.

The soldiers began to search for all the utensils and food in the homes of the fugitives, and all those who could read and count counted the losses and gains together.

On the 27th, Chen Jian was jointly elected by all the remaining people in Xiacheng at the city meeting as the autocratic leader, prime minister of all affairs.

Then Chen Jian issued eight orders in the name of the autocratic leader.

"From December 35th in the 27th year of the Chinese calendar to the Huaizi Festival next year, Xia City adopts a strict rationing system and labor distribution system."

"Withdraw all the currency. Any Xiacheng country person can go to the Planning and Statistics Department to declare the amount of their own currency before May, and a special person will review and declare the source of all copper coins before May."

"Confiscate all the land and wealth of the fugitives as public property."

"Except for the conspirators and their followers, any disputes can only be traced back to the mill fight. All the old Xiacheng people who did not flee with the conspirators can return to Xiacheng before February without pursuing the blood debt after the mill fight, All this should be borne by the conspirators."

"All slave peasants, slaves, and wild people who participated in the uprising to expel the conspirators have the status of nationals, and all the new nationals before the mill fight have their status restored."

"All wild clans, settlement leaders, fief lords who did not participate in the rebellion, and village community leaders who surrendered to Xiacheng must go to Xiacheng before February."

"Before February, Ji Xia had taken back his position as the chief officer, and decided to judge and punish the conspirators arbitrarily."

"The National People's Council will be held in early February to improve city rules, allocate land and property, assess nobles, select officials, and reform the military system."

Immediately after the Ba Dao order was issued, more than 200 garrisoned riders were mobilized from Yangguan, and they went to the vicinity to look for those escaped Xiacheng people and announced a new order.Sternly warn that if you do not return to Xiacheng before February, you will be deemed to have automatically renounced your countryman status, and your property and land will be confiscated and you will not be eligible to participate in the distribution of new public property.

These few orders and efficient Yucheng-like management have temporarily suppressed the chaos inside Xiacheng, but this is only a temporary peace after extreme chaos.

Everything takes time to smooth out, there are too many complicated things, boring and tasteless.

When the end of the new year was approaching, several people came to the door of the meeting and begged to see Chen Jian.

Four or five men, some of whom should be from Xinxia City, and a woman was holding a one-year-old child, followed by two older children.

The person at the front took out a piece of old birch bark, a bronze sword, and a pottery pendant symbolizing Lisi's authority.

Chen Jian took the bark, the charcoal drawing on it was still clear, but there was a trace of blood.

A few children next to him were crying, Chen Jianchang sighed, and asked, "Is this the numa child?"

"Ah."

He waved his hand and motioned for the woman who was helping with the child to lead the child out first.

"What about Muma?"

"Suicide. He died in front of us. Before he died, he begged us to take care of the child and return the painting and the child to Jixia."

"What day?"

"December eighteen."

On December [-]th, when Chen Jian was wasting time along the Caohe River, he looked down at the tree bark painting, and his hands trembled slightly, but he held back it after all.

There are too many such tragedies, and Mu Ma has left a good impression on him, but how many people have no impression?

After a long time, he asked, "Why?"

"Originally, if he didn't commit suicide, he would have died. He arrested my brother, and my brother was buried alive. On the night of the [-]th, I wanted to kill him with my own hands, but his woman was very sick, and I was soft-hearted and lied to her Saying that Ji Xia is back, I said in my heart not to kill him in front of the woman."

"In the end, his wife didn't make it through and died of illness. When he came out, Ji Xia's rider had already arrived in the city and told us not to commit suicide without permission, otherwise everything would be dealt with according to the rules. Those who bear it shall be borne, and the punishment shall be mitigated for the rest.”

Chen Jian nodded blankly, and asked after a long while: "Doesn't he know that I'm coming back? Didn't he hear that?

"I know. He said... the right and wrong in his heart can't be judged by a rule of innocence."

After a long time, Chen Jian waved his hands weakly and said, "Understood, let's go."

After those people left, Chen Jian came alone to the place where the orphans of the accident were taken. From the beginning of the construction of Xiacheng to the previous incidents, more than 400 orphans, large and small, were left behind.

After this incident, many breastfeeding women were deployed here to raise orphans who were still in their infancy.

The clan was still there a few years ago, and every child was raised by the clan.

After the clan was broken up, there were orphans.

After the emergence of the marriage family, the children still follow the determined mother and become part of the new male-dominated family.

Some mothers who did not remarry died of illness, and the children under the matrilineal blood had nowhere to go.

After the emergence of marriage and family, orphans began to increase.

The first is Xiacheng's pension system, the heirs of clansmen who died in battle are raised by the city.Men gradually became the main force of labor and war, collection became a thing that existed in the past, and the status of women gradually decreased.Many children brought up by remarriage in the past have become the oil bottle of non-biological blood, and public custody can encourage women to remarry and have children to increase the population.

While many women can still work and rely on the welfare of the people to survive alone, many children are born out of wedlock. When it is difficult to raise them, they can also be raised by the cities to encourage rapid population growth, but the number is not large.
