Chapter Seventy-One: A Hundred Miles and Ten Thousand Miles

She didn't know what those relatives said, but she heard a lot and guessed a lot from her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Late at night, E-Dian returned to her parents with the help of a slightly drunken domestic slave, and not only did E-Yue and Shujiu not blame E-Rou for not going home first, but also praised E-Lu's behavior of walking around.

She was not only her parents, but also the leader and priest of the city, and it was impossible for the family to bypass the entire city. So chatting and chatting, it naturally turned to the transformation of the city and the upcoming civil war in Xiayu.

Speaking of the previous coup d'Γ©tat and reforms, E Yue asked, "Huang'er, you have been learning from Ji Xia for so long, and you have heard a lot about what happened in the city, what do you have to say?" ”

E Huang was silent for a moment, compared to the relatives and nobles of the rest of the cities, he was the earliest to follow Chen Jianxue, and he also witnessed the establishment of Yucheng with his own eyes, and it was no longer the time when he had just grown up to be a hostage.

After pondering for a moment, looking at the concerned and encouraging eyes of his parents, he mustered up the courage to say, "Father and mother, before I went to Xia Cheng to be a hostage, I always thought that to be a good leader, I needed to be praised by everyone in the Chengyi clan. Now, I know that to be a really good leader, all you need is the approval and appreciation of the people. ”

E Yue stroked her chest and smiled: "I'm also worried that after learning from Ji Xia for so long, you will question why your parents didn't learn Yucheng's methods, and even shout stupid things like rescuing slaves." It seems that Ji Xia taught well. So for Echeng, who is the person who needs our approval and support? ”

Ehuang also smiled: "Yucheng's method is really good, but we can't learn it." There are not so many literate and arithmetic people, but there are some relatives who have already had slaves, and after learning the methods of Yucheng, the city will be destroyed. ”

"For Yucheng, the purpose of the farm is to ensure a minimum demand for food, and the pillars of Yucheng are the workshops that are connected together and the top and bottom; As far as Echeng is concerned, even if Echeng has merchants, workshops, and pastures, the pillars of Echeng are still the clan nobles and the clansmen who farm. ”

Shujiu looked at his son with relief, quietly glanced at his husband, and finally let go of his heart after seeing a little approval in his eyes.

Eyue looked extremely happy, and nothing excited him more than his son's growth. He didn't know what was taught in the school in Yucheng, but it was time to teach something to his grown son.

"Huang'er, when I went to Yucheng to meet with Ji Xia, Ji Xia told me something. I also want to break the clan like Xia Cheng, gather power, and ask him what to do. ”

"He told me that there are two kinds of clan relatives in our city."

"One is the old one who has the authority of the clan, and the other is the one who has little authority and stands with me. The former doesn't like me to gather power, and the latter will stand with me but the power is weak. ”

"So I asked me to send the second kind of noble children to the Yucheng Academy, once these children learn to read and count, even if the first type is killed, it can still keep the city from chaos."

"When Xia Cheng and us were getting closer and closer, new manors, workshops and the like mainly supported the relatives and nobles of the second clan, so that they gradually had land and slave money, but they did not have enough rights. They will be just as disgusted as I am for these clans' relatives to use their clans to control power. ”

"Echeng is not Yucheng, you can rely on so many people who can read and count to directly take over the right to take over the city, and I still have to rely on those clan nobles to help manage the city. Breaking up the clan, the first type of people will definitely oppose it, but I don't need them anymore, because Ji Xia has helped me train more than a hundred literate people, and there are a large number of new relatives who have rich slaves to support me. ”

"Either surrender and surrender the power, or you have to fight to the death, but obviously they lost and died."

"Killing the first type can not only regain power, but also plunder their slaves and wealth, as a benefit to curry favor with the lower tribes in times of change."

"The people of the lower ranks, who need the common property of oxen and ploughshares, and who are worried about being reduced to slavery because of debts, will support the chiefs to have absolute distribution of some things, and at the same time they are the natural soldiers of the city, and can restrain the new nobles."

"To the people, I am the chief, and they will listen to me, and I can decide whether they can pay taxes, go on expeditions, borrow oxen, distribute iron tools, and so on."

"For the nobles, I am the greatest, I have the most slaves, I have the most land, and I have the most private soldiers."

"Since the city is as you say, these two kinds of people are the pillars, and my position as leader is naturally secure."

Ehuang kept these words in her heart, thought about them for a long time, and finally asked: "Father has now stabilized the position of the leader and collected the rights of the clan, but now Xia Cheng seems to have taken root in our city. Ji Xia has already received the support of various cities, and I think my father will definitely support Ji Xia, which doesn't need to be asked, but what about the future? ”

"Now that Xia City is only shaking slightly, our city has such a big impact, what will happen in the future?"

E Yue frowned and said, "This is something I've been thinking about. ”

"Take this opportunity to cut off the increasingly close contact with Xia Cheng, but still make friends with Xia Cheng and no longer go to build workshops and the like. Men planted grain and cultivated land to raise livestock, women weaved linen and instructed children, merchants were strictly forbidden to buy and sell, and all public property was under the jurisdiction of the city, so that they had the least dependence on Xia Cheng. ”

"Continue to follow in the footsteps of Xia Cheng as always, build workshops, start trade, and even get closer to Xia Cheng, build workshops and mines, and connect with each other. The city can be rich quickly, but it is very dependent on the summer city, and it can only completely obey the summer city in the future. ”

"You've been in Yucheng for a long time, and you know Ji Xia very well. I've only heard about Ji Xia's 3,000 people going deep into Dongyi, but you also know that it's hard to believe that it's been spread here. Look, what should we do? ”

Ehuang thought for a long time, and said calmly: "Father, mother. As I arrived, Ji Xia asked me to bring you some words. ”

He said that the source of the great river stretches from the coast of the East China Sea to the coast of the East China Sea. Xia Cheng is too small, and the world is too big. Even if there are many clans in the Great River Tribes, it is only a drop in the ocean for the world. ”

"Xia Cheng can break through Echeng within a month, but won't the people of Echeng resent the people of Xiacheng? It will take another five years to stabilize the captured city, and how many more five years will there be in life? ”

"Now the city has enough land within a radius of 100 miles, but with the oxen and iron ridges, what can we do in a hundred miles in a hundred years?"

"There are obviously thousands of miles of land, why should your eyes be fixed on a hundred miles? Obviously there are tens of millions of years, why should your eyes be fixed on ten years? ”

"If one day Xia Cheng becomes the leader of the alliance, he must gather the land of his ancestors and expand it for thousands of miles, so that his descendants will not have a place to stand in the future."

"But how can tens of thousands of people in Xia City be able to govern the land of thousands of miles? Is it not possible to cultivate the land without being cultivated? The three cities of Xia City are still difficult to sustain the frequent rebellions, how can they govern the land of thousands of miles? ”

"Echeng can obviously become a city of a thousand miles, why do you have to cramp in the land of a hundred miles of grass and worry about the strength of Xia City?"

"Echeng is a place of death. The north is Mangyuan, there are relatives in the east, and there is Xia City in the west. The land of Echeng should be on the coast of the East China Sea. The east is bordered by the sea, the salt fish are abundant, and the fertile soil is thousands of miles, which is the foundation of the world. ”

"Now accumulate money and food, stabilize the city, train soldiers, once the world changes, the military chariot will go east to Dongyi."

"When the big thing is done, I will seal the land of thousands of miles of coastal land in Echeng, and I think I am the uncle of the relatives in the East."

"It's only three years to build a city, it's only two years to reclaim, the benefits of fish and salt can be obtained in an instant, Dongyi slaves are everywhere, and after a hundred years, there are dozens of thousands of miles of cities and towns, is it impossible?"

"At that time, Xia Cheng was in the middle, the Acropolis was in the west, and Echeng was in the east, all of them were the uncles of the city, in charge of the land of thousands of miles, and worshiped the ancestors."

"If the descendants of Xia Cheng are virtuous, they will be respected; If there is no virtue, replace it. This is not something that can be said clearly now, when the Huasu Alliance was unmatched, where is it now? ”

After finishing speaking, she looked up at her parents and said lightly, "I want to be the leader of Qianli." If my parents don't want to, I want to take some people to Xinhua City to open up and multiply to the east. Cheng, Echeng has another foothold; Defeated, but lost a thousand. ”

"Echeng, it's too small. I saw thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Yucheng. ”

For a long time, E Yue Shujiu laughed in unison.

"That being the case, beat the drums, send orders to order troops, meet Ji Xia, and return to Xia City to quell the rebellion."
