The biggest opposition that Jian Chen was worried about was nothing more than the various objections that Xia Cheng had incurred out of respect for his ancestors. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this kind of connotation consideration is always invincible to the interests of reality, and this time the people of Xiacheng have made a full gesture, never participating in this alliance as a clan that considers themselves barbarians, and from the very beginning it has been the identity of a clan far away in the northwest who yearns to return but suffers from not understanding etiquette.

Even if Su Yue did not express his position, or even if Su Yue had already expressed his position, those clans who opposed or supported Su Yue would not raise objections at such a time.

It's just that in addition to support, many clans hope that Chen Jian can be treated equally, especially for the spread of new technologies.

Although there are still many clans that envelope witchcraft divination, it does not mean that they are not aware of the important role of technological progress, which is a two-dimensional matter.

The power of silence is powerful, and Su Yue is well aware of this. Silence does not mean opposition, on the contrary, it is a kind of approval, because everything Xia Cheng has done since the rescue of the Acropolis is qualified to be sacrificed. The biggest reason for the silence is nothing more than the consideration of the gains and losses of his own city under the premise of supporting Xia Cheng's entry into the alliance.

For the ten miles of land around Onozawa that Jian Chen requested, those clans around Onozawa didn't care, at this time, there were few people in the land, and it was an enclave, so it was a pity to abandon it if it was useless. On the contrary, the clans that were not in the vicinity of Onozawa felt a little uneasy, and they did not want, especially not want, Awagi to master these new technologies, which would make Awaki even more difficult to contend with.

What Jian Chen thought was much simpler, now Xia Cheng did not have any qualifications to compete for the position of leader, since he was ready to bully the weak in the early stage, then Su Cheng was undoubtedly the best thigh.

At least for three to five years, even if the castle of Onozawa was established, Natsujo would not have the strength to stretch his hands and feet into the hinterland of the river, and this kind of dependence that would take advantage of each other would be the best for Natsujo. As for long-distance close attacks, helping the weak and resisting the strong, etc., that is a method that can only be adopted when you have absolute strength, and it is not immutable.

After a while, it didn't seem that there were too many clan opposition, and Jian Chen couldn't help but be excited in his heart, and said to the rest of the clans who had not yet expressed their position: "I, Ji Xia, swear here, for the rest of my life, the gunpowder, military training, and cultivation methods of Xia City, as long as the words of each clan abide by the oath correctly, I will definitely not hide my secrets and share them with everyone." In the future, it will be ...... in Onozawa."

Before he finished finishing the world he wanted to depict, a cold voice asked rhetorically, "What does Ji Xia mean by this?" Is it up to you to decide who can learn the strange ways of your summer city? Can't you learn that? Now that the alliance has not succeeded, and the oath has not been carried out, Ji Xia will first say some oaths that can be violated, what does it mean? Who is qualified to be a relative, and who is not qualified to be a relative, I'm afraid Ji Xia is not qualified to judge, right? ”

The man who spoke was not afraid of the strange gazes around him, Shi Shiran stood up and said, "I'm not against Xia Cheng's oath of sacrifice, everyone can see everything Xia Cheng has done. I also admire Ji Xia very much, although I have only heard Ji Xia talk once or twice because of many things, but the wisdom in it has taught me a lot, and I feel that it is not as good. ”

After he finished speaking, he smiled at Jian Chen, Jian Chen glanced at the other party, these days he has already recognized some powerful and influential city leaders, at this time, of course, he can recognize this as the leader of a powerful clan in the north of Sucheng, which is far away from Sucheng, and there are some weak cities around, which can be described as a relatively powerful clan four or five hundred miles north of the big river.

The dominant surname in the clan is the deer, which is a physical surname rather than an abstract surname such as the Acropolis. It can be seen that this clan is also very old.

Jian Chen remembered the name of the leader, Lu Yuan. Chen Jian also basically inquired about the attitude towards the Huimeng, and the clan surnamed Lu did not oppose the Huimeng, because they were facing the threat of Beidi. But they don't want this alliance to be the same as it was decades ago, where each clan unites around a dominant clan alliance, or at least to ensure that their own clan has absolute autonomy.

After Lu Yuan said this, he apologized to Jian Chen again and again: "What I said is not aimed at Ji Xia or Xia Cheng. Now everyone knows that Xia Cheng's ridge farming, gunpowder, bronze and other methods are urgently needed by various clans, and I also believe that Ji Xia is willing to share these things with his relatives, which I have never doubted. ”

"But...... Ji Xia's oath was wrong. ”

Jian Chen hurriedly asked: "I'm too young and too stupid, I don't know what's wrong with these words?" ”

Lu Yuan said solemnly: "Sheep still need a head sheep, let alone the clan." But the leader of the alliance who will be elected during the alliance tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, can he judge who is right and who is wrong? If a leader is elected, and when the time comes, he says that our clan with the surname Lu is not doing right, and then tells Ji Xia that he is not allowed to exchange with us, then what can he say? Since Ji Xia made it clear that what you have mastered was taught to you by your ancestors, then everyone is the same ancestor, and it stands to reason that everyone is qualified to know. ”

"But this is not the case in Ji Xia's oath, according to what you said, join the oath that someone will say in the future that someone will break by our clan, so you can not exchange with us? Or rather, who will judge whether we are qualified to exchange with Xia Cheng? Could it be that Ji Xia thinks that his wisdom can completely distinguish between right and wrong? If not, who will judge whether this is right or wrong? ”

"A few decades ago, there was someone who could convince everybody that was right and wrong and that they were doing the right thing. And now? Now I wonder, who has such prestige? Who can convince everyone of his judgment? Who would dare to say that they would not seek personal gain for their clan? If one day, someone has a bad relationship with Xia Cheng, Ji Xia, do you dare to say that you will still exchange these things for that city? Since you said that you will only exchange with the cities that do the right thing, it is possible that Ji Xia means: those who support Xia City are right; Those who oppose Xia Cheng are wrong? Ji Xia thought that just by lecturing these strange and strange things in the past few days, he would be able to convince everyone that he was just like a few decades ago? ”

Lu Yuan's words are talking about Xia Cheng, but in fact, every sentence is not talking about Xia Cheng, and the leaders know that Xia Cheng is absolutely not qualified to become the leader of the public recommendation after the alliance, so who can judge right and wrong?

Naturally, these words were talking about Suyue, the leader of Sucheng who initiated this alliance.

Su Yue's face turned dark, and he scolded in his heart, but it was not easy to say it directly, and it was difficult to refute it for a while. If the leader has no right to judge the rights and wrongs of the other clans who have sworn an oath, then what is this chief?

The rest of the leaders have actually been thinking about this problem, this problem is the most critical threshold of this alliance, originally hoped to say it at the clan conference, but now this layer of window paper was torn by Lu Yuan first.

Xia Cheng is just an introduction, including Xia Cheng's various technical dissemination is an introduction, but an analogy can be made. It's the same with turning this kind of technical exchange into a requisition and punishment: if the external enemy is not discussed, who will judge the right and wrong of the internal clan? A clan that follows the wrong rules needs all the tribes to unite and go out to fight, and who doesn't worry that their clan will one day be called a "wrong clan" by the "chief"?

Chen Jian also understood Lu Yuan's extraneous voice, although he was dissatisfied with the other party talking about himself, he didn't hold a grudge against the other party. The purpose of his request has been achieved for the most part, and as for the alliance after a nominal unification similar to the feudal system? Or a loose alliance of ethnic groups of the city-state alliance? This is not something that can be changed by the efforts of one person.

Although he didn't hold a grudge, since he talked about Xia Cheng, Chen Jian couldn't say a word, so he had to smile and say, "How dare the kid decide who is right and who is wrong?" But I have some doubts, so I ask the leader of the deer circle to answer them. ”

"Please."

"Is there anyone in charge of the rules and regulations in the cities of the Lu clan?"

"Naturally."

"Then the one who judges whether a man in the city is right or wrong is the ruler of the testimonies? Or is it the testimonies themselves? Isn't it the same here? Ji Xia is only twenty years old, how dare she judge your right or wrong? Wouldn't we swear an oath in front of our ancestors when we made an alliance? He who keeps his oath is right, and he who breaks his oath is wrong. ”

Lu Yuan nodded and said: "What Ji Xia said is very right, it was I who said it wrong before, and please don't be surprised by Ji Xia." ”

"No, it won't."

"Since Ji Xia said so, and it makes a lot of sense, then I have to say more. There are laws in the cities, and there are oaths in the alliance, and as Ji Xia said, it is not a certain person who judges right and wrong, but those laws and oaths. ”

Lu Yuan saw that everyone nodded frequently, and then continued: "Decades ago, the oath that relatives swore on the riverbank was very simple, and there were not too many rules. Because right and wrong are judged by the leader we elected at the beginning. Everyone is convinced, so he can judge right and wrong, he is the law, he is the rule. , he can judge right from wrong. ”

"But now, who can stand up and say that he is the same as the leader of Hua back then, he is the rule, the oath is the law?"

Lu Yuan's gaze slipped from Su Yue's body a little defiantly, and then swirled around several powerful clan leaders, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but be a little mocking.

In the end, he gave up his patrol, walked directly to the opposite side of Su Yue and asked, "Leader Su Yue, this time you invited the rest of your relatives to join the alliance, may I ask you to agree on the oath of the alliance with you?" The meeting alliance a few decades ago didn't need too many oaths, because as long as he lived, he was the rule. Now that there is no second Hua leader, are you ready to learn those simple oaths from decades ago? Or do you think you can be like him and convince people to judge right and wrong? ”

Su Yue hated a lot in his heart, but it was impossible for him to be angry at this time, so he had to say loudly: "It's because I was stupid and didn't think of this, and I didn't dare to arrogantly think that I could compare with Leader Hua." ”

Lu Yuan said loudly: "The tribes will be aligned, the relatives will not fight, and our city is supported." But! The oath of the alliance must be clearly written, what should be done, what should not be done, and what kind of punishment will be imposed for not doing it? Is it the annihilation of the joint kinship? Is it to punish slaves with corn? Or was he driven and exiled hundreds of miles away? Or are you not allowed to trade with Xia Cheng? If we don't add all of this to the oath, our clan won't be in this alliance! Because I don't want the elected leader to decide the life and death of our clan with a single word! The oath of these oaths must also be negotiated by the various clans. (To be continued.) )
