It's not big, but it's not small. According to the preliminary information transmitted by Liu Ji, there was a clash between two groups of civilians, which eventually caused a large-scale armed fight, with many casualties.

When Jiang Chuan heard the news, he felt that this was simply a slap in the face.

The first batch of decrees on governing the people formulated by him and Liu Ji had only been promulgated for a few days, and one of them was: "It is strictly forbidden for people to fight, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

I didn't want to hit someone so quickly to blatantly disobey the law, and there are dozens or even hundreds of people, this is definitely a **naked slap on the face of Lord Jiang, and it is the kind that slaps him hard, if he can still calm down, it will be hell.

For the various problems that will arise internally, Jiang Chuan is actually prepared in his heart. Not to mention that in ancient times, when the legal system was so crude and rudimentary, even in a modern society with a sound legal system, there would not be some occasional large-scale mass anti-law incidents.

Moreover, these people under his command are all border people, many of whom are from Orion, and in the environment of frequent battles and fights on the deep border, the atmosphere of fighting bravely and ruthlessly is very strong.

In addition, Jiangchuan's primary purpose in collecting these people is to continuously expand the army and increase the total population, so basically those who come do not refuse, as long as you are willing to come, I am willing to accept it, so it has led to the complex composition of the people in the valley, the good and the bad, and everyone has it.

Among them, there are not only good people who keep to themselves, but also those who are brave and fierce, selfish and arrogant, not to mention all kinds of people who steal and cheat, which can be said to be more than 10,000 people, all kinds of people. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

So counting on more than 20,000 people to love each other and live in harmony, hello, hello, hello, everyone, that's a fantasy, it's impossible.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan is mentally prepared for this, and the magic blade in his hand has long been ready, ready to clean up those who dare to defy the law.

But he didn't expect someone to jump out so soon, and there were so many people, which made him quickly hold back a thick fire in his heart, and this fire can turn into murderous aura if it is not good.

For killing, especially killing those who should be killed, Jiang Chuan does not have the slightest psychological burden now. In troubled times, when you use heavy codes, your sword is not only sharp when it is aimed at the enemy, but also for those who dare to defy the law and ignore him, you will never curl the blade.

When Jiang Chuan arrived at the scene with people, the situation was already under control. The officials and soldiers of the Civil Affairs Department tied up all the hundreds of people involved in the incident and pressed them to the ground, and not far from the ground lay dozens of corpses and some sticks and farm tools, many of which were still stained with blood. And a great deal of grain was poured out of the ground.

Many people around were watching, and many of them were glaring at each other with their eyes, making a provocative expression.

Liu Ji's face was as heavy as ink, standing in the open space in the middle of the crowd, with several guards behind him also unsheathed, staring at the people around him with a look of vigilance.

There was an oppressive tranquility throughout the scene, with only the occasional moans of some of the injured suggesting what had just happened here.

Liu Ji had both anger and shame in his heart at the moment. The lord handed over the civil affairs to him to manage, and he himself was full of confidence and promised the lord that there would be no problems.

But he didn't expect that only a few days after the first batch of decrees on the rule of the people were promulgated, so many people openly disobeyed the decrees, openly armed and privately fought, and killed and injured many people.

Looking at those criminals who were tied up by five flowers and knelt on the ground, but still had a fierce look on their faces, a killing intent suddenly rose in his heart, and he couldn't wait to correct all these people on the spot.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Liu Ji turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Chuan who came, and hurriedly came over to see.

"Liu Ji is ashamed of his trust in the lord, please punish the lord!" Liu Ji bowed deeply when he saw him, with a look of guilt and self-blame on his face.

"Advisor, it doesn't have to be like this. What do you have to do with the crime of the people and the disobedience of the law? Get up and speak. Jiang Chuan helped Liu Ji up.

"The lord is very loving, and Liu Ji is ashamed." Liu Ji got up, still with a look of shame on his face.

Through the cooperation of the two during this time, Jiang Chuan knew that Liu Ji was a very enterprising person and had a sense of responsibility for his work, so if this kind of thing happened, he must feel uncomfortable.

"Strategist, what's going on?" Jiang Chuan comforted Liu Ji a few words, and saw that his face was much better, and then asked.

Liu Ji quickly told what had happened, and also told some other information he had.

As mentioned earlier, Jiang Chuan now governs more than 20,000 people, and the composition is complex, and everyone has it.

The party that provoked the fight this time was one of the more special people.

The border people on the border of the Ming Dynasty are not necessarily all Ming people, and there are a considerable number of naturalized people. What is the naturalization of the people, simply put, is that people of other foreign races are slowly assimilated into the Ming people after a few generations.

Before the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, many of the lands bordering the Ming Dynasty were still the territory of the Mongols, Mongolia was a nomadic people, with many horses, cattle and sheep, while the Ming Dynasty had a lot of resources, everything, but there was a lack of horses.

To live, Mongolians need various necessities such as salt, iron, tea, etc. The upper-class nobles also liked all kinds of fine silk and other things in the Ming Dynasty, and these things could not be produced in Mongolia, so they needed to obtain them from the Ming Dynasty, so they asked to exchange markets with the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, the two sides open trade relations, and everyone does business with each other. The Mongols traded their horses and furs for salt, iron, silk, porcelain, and other things.

Originally, this looks good, everyone takes what they need. It's just that salt and iron have always been the heavy weapons of the military state under the strict control of the Central Plains Dynasty from ancient times to the present, and in fashionable terms, they are national strategic resources.

Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty has always regarded salt and iron as a weapon against the restriction of the northern nomads, so of course it is unwilling to exchange with the Mongols.

The Mongols had no salt and iron, and they didn't have salt to eat, so they didn't even have the strength to mount their horses and pull their bows. Without iron, it was impossible to build a sharp scimitar, so he went to war with Daming.

After many battles between the two sides, there were countless casualties, but the Ming Dynasty could not destroy Mongolia, and Mongolia could not take advantage of the Ming Dynasty, so in the end everyone sat down to talk, and the result of the talks was, of course, that the two sides traded with each other on the border and set up a market for both sides.

This kind of market is called the border market. After the birth of the border market, there were many people who relied on the border market to make a living, including both Ming and Mongolians. These Mongols began to change from herdsmen to businessmen, and some worked as brokers, that is, middlemen, in the border markets, helping both sides to negotiate business and cooperation with each other. There are also some people who set up shops in the border markets, some open teahouses, some open restaurants, and some open leather shops.

Slowly, many Mongols completed the transformation from herdsmen to merchants, and completed the primitive accumulation of capital. After having the first pot of gold, many Mongolians also learned from the rich people of the Ming Dynasty to buy land, and slowly became landlords.

After becoming a landlord, he naturally needed tenants to farm the land, so he also began to hire some Mongols to farm the land for himself.

After a few generations, these Mongols became half-farmers and half-herders, because they had been dealing with the Ming people for a long time, so they looked very similar to the Ming people in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The Ming court then included these people in the household registration, so these people became the people of the Ming Dynasty, so they were called naturalized people.

A few generations later, although these naturalized Mongols no longer live as nomads, the fierce and wild genes of nomads still exist in their bones.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty suddenly emerged, and after the latecomers came to the top, they often went south to fight the grass valley, and these naturalized Mongols were also deeply affected, so they also entered the Erlong Valley to seek refuge under the Jiangchuan convergence.

And the party that provoked the fight this time was a group of naturalized Mongolians.
