It was the end of August when the workshop workers were one step closer to their national identity, and it was autumn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Autumn is winter, and winter is over after 34 years.

All kinds of changes have left different memories for many people, but there are also many memories of people who do not belong to the Xia Cheng system or even the Grass River Alliance, and these memories are naturally related to the Xia Cheng system.

For example, in August, Yucheng's decree on fugitive slaves and non-slaves spread to the rest of the cities, and the aristocratic classes of various cities who had originally praised Chen Jian because of the bloodline theory couldn't help but scold at this time.

This kind of scolding is very interesting, and the closer you go, the more ruthless it becomes, but there are also a group of people who do not scold, because they were the first to make some trade with Xia Cheng, and Xia Cheng provided iron farming tools and wool shearing that were cheap, and all they had to pay for was wool that could be sheared twice a year, which the slaves could do, and the iron farming tools allowed them to save many slaves.

Their relationship with the Xia city of Yucheng became more and more close, but the fundamental changes did not take place: Chen Jian had suggested that they set aside a part of the land for the slaves to cultivate, and that after paying enough food, they could have a surplus to motivate the slaves.

But those people were keenly aware of the danger and resolutely objected: if the slaves had surplus products, how could they control the slaves? Only having nothing can guarantee that the slaves are their own private property and not people. They would rather not use iron farming tools than give up their talking possessions.

The envoys from the various cities arrived in Yucheng in September, reiterating the original secret agreement, strictly forbidding Shi and the others to perform any drama about the transformation of Yucheng in the rest of the city, and if Chen Jian did not abide by it, he would cut off the grain trade with Yucheng.

Jian Chen agreed, and when everyone thought that they had caught the life gate of Yucheng, another thing made them even more uneasy.

After the flood receded, Yucheng organized a fleet of boats to help the city with 800,000 catties of grain in the great righteousness of the tribes of the great river.

The whole grain transportation lasted for half a month, and it was orderly and did not even affect the whole work in Yucheng, and the arrival was mainly new wheat, and every city along the way was hyped up, and Shi Camelina and others were also performing various dramas to promote the unity of relatives and so on.

At the same time, it was also a kind of demonstration, as a demonstration after being threatened at the beginning of the month, the leaders of those cities understood that this was Chen Jian telling them not to threaten themselves with food, it was useless.

The shock caused by this grain did not stop there, the nobles of the various cities knew that Yucheng had established several farms, and they knew that Yucheng had begun to use iron farming tools on a large scale, and of course they knew where the new wheat came from.

Then a rather terrible thought swirled in their minds: Could it be that iron farm implements and carts and ploughshares were really better used than slaves? You must know that 2,000 slaves with stones could not produce so much food, let alone provide free aid to the rest of the cities.

The places where these ships passed made those people realize the horror of the new tools, and when these ships returned, many people followed the ships to Yucheng to see the new farm tools.

For the stricken city, what they remember most is that after their homes were destroyed, ships with the banner of the Yin-Yang Fish and the Flower of Light flag worshipped by Hwaseong shuttled back and forth to deliver the food they urgently needed.

Not everyone needs food, many people have food stocks, but there are also many civilians who don't have that much food in stock.

Along with the food, and some of the people who sang and played the play, the idea of kinship was originally far away for them, but now it is within reach.

The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, your family suffers from disasters and my family is clear, since they are all relatives, of course, we must help you get through the disaster year, if the world is bigger in the future, it may be better, there is always no place to suffer, and there is always a leader who can deploy the world's materials.

The food was provided free of charge, but in order to be able to carry the food, the people of Yucheng asked the victims to build a small wharf by the river, and after the small wharf was built, a row of houses was built as a warehouse, and several Xiacheng people were responsible for coordinating the reconstruction of their homes by the affected people.

Later, a batch of farm tools were transported, saying that they had suffered a disaster and it was the time when they needed to be reclaimed, although Yucheng now did not even have enough farm tools, but for the sake of the righteousness of the relatives, Yunyun was still sent. The chiefs and nobles were too busy with their own business to take care of the people, which was a matter of course, and the commoners did not feel anything, so they began to cultivate the land according to the method of Xia Cheng.

Those Xiacheng people also said that they would not help the poor or something like that, so they should teach them new cultivation methods, if they wanted, the Xiacheng people hoped to be able to share thirty percent of the harvest, but not for the time being, just for the sake of Xiacheng in case of disasters in case of emergency.

If Xia Cheng doesn't want it within five years, then thirty percent of the grain will belong to them, and I hope they will take care of it.

The people were grateful, and of course agreed to this request, especially after seeing that the oxen pulled the ploughshare and easily reclaimed a lot of land from the mud. But there were not so many oxen, horses, and ploughshares, and it was fair to have someone to take charge of the distribution, so they chose one of their own high morals to be responsible for coordinating these matters—it was obvious that they were prone to trouble when they were in a group, especially when enough land had been cleared to arouse the eyes of the chiefs and nobles.

After the grain ship left, there were still a few Xia Cheng people left, led by a crippled man, named Song, mainly to tell stories and chat with people, and by the way, ask these people to strengthen the dock and so on.

Of course, no one noticed that this city was about three hundred miles away from Yucheng, and two hundred miles further east was the junction of the Dongyi clan and the Great River Tribes.

Regarding the matter of "free" food aid, in fact, many people were dissatisfied, and they were full of righteousness, which made other cities very uncomfortable, so they had to praise Chen Jian a few words, and then there was no follow-up.

The rest of the cities are gone, but in Yucheng is making a big fuss, the children of the relatives and nobles of each city gather in the Yucheng School, and they come here to study after the Pregnancy Festival, and they all call Chen Jian Mr., so they naturally want to listen to Mr. boast of his righteous deeds.

The gentleman was very lazy, so lazy that after more than 30 people, including E, Su, Tang Yuemei, and so on, who came first, completed the eight texts of enlightenment, they divided the newcomers into them, and each person took care of a few people, and by the way, they ate and lived together, and they were called classmates, and by the way, they could also teach them those enlightened things.

This is a very good thing, on weekdays are relatives, but now in the classroom is divided into high and low, the newcomer inevitably has to show what he has learned, from horseback riding, archery, fencing to spelling, pronunciation, number multiplication and division, everywhere feels very refreshing.

It is said that the new arrivals will not study until they have completed enlightenment, otherwise there will not be so many people to teach them.

However, their husband is also very diligent, and will take some time out every ten years to give them lectures, but the content of the lectures is not knowledgeable.

Rather, it is said that the great river tribes have the same root and origin, that the war between the great river tribes is unrighteous and spurned by the ancestors, that there are countless land wealth outside, that those who are ambitious should learn from the old leader surnamed Wei and his ambitions, that it is not so difficult to build a city, and so on.

This surprised the students, because they were so diligent that even if it was raining heavily, their husband would come to the lecture on time on the day of the decade, and it was almost like the two of them who had left their hands before.

Not everyone will believe it, but at least some of them will believe it, and that's enough. Ideology must exist, if you don't occupy it, there will naturally be other ideas to occupy it, this thing is not so magical and tall, and it is not something that only existed in the industrial age. Witches, ghosts, religions, philosophies, for the people for themselves, ethnic cities, and ways of thinking are actually a kind of ideology.

When the ships carrying the grain returned, they made a big deal about it, and put forward an idea: the ancestral land was so large, there were those who were affected by disasters, and those who were not, as the leaders of the great river tribes, they should coordinate the transportation of the harvest of grain to the affected places......

This is a beautiful statement, even if you want to refute it, you can't do it, and this is a fact, but it's too difficult to do, and this group of people inevitably began to wonder how to do it, but they were shocked when they thought about it.

When it came to the winter solstice in the thirty-fourth year of the Chinese calendar, their husband generously gave each of them a very delicate coin, which was better than those beautiful Xiacheng copper coins, but it was not gold, but brass.

It's all copper, but unlike those mass-produced copper coins, the obverse is vacant, and the reverse is a meandering river and a flower that was often used as a pottery pattern by the Hwaseong League.

Some people asked, why is the front empty?

Their husband told them that they didn't know what was engraved on the front, that the yin and yang fish that engraved Xia Cheng definitely couldn't, that the back was not a grass river but a big river, not an ear of wheat but a bright flower, and that this thing was not engraved casually.

Everyone played with this beautiful copper coin, gathered together for a good meal, and then, with the strength of wine, their husband painted all the symbols of each clan on the stone slab, and dozens of cities and dozens of clans all had it.

Then they found that the gentleman had drunk so much that his face was a little red and his tongue was a little bigger.

"You say so many things, you can't stuff them on copper coins, even the best coppersmiths can't draw them, and even if they draw them, people can't see them clearly, what can you do?"

"Besides, when we fight with the barbarians in the future, since the leader of Suyue wants to lead the clans, he must have a banner, right?"

The people asked, "Isn't there a banner in Sucheng?" ”

Their husband replied, "Can this be the same?" I'm the leader of Summer City, so my seal is the seal of the head of Summer City, not my own. The clansmen can only go to my house to get my private property with my own seal, and if I go to get the public property, although it is my sister, she will not give it. You know what? ”

After reacting for a while, he also understood, and after thinking for a long time, someone said inspiringly: "Then let's take a little bit of our respective clan cities and gather them together, right?" For example, the horns of our clan, the yin and yang fish of Xia Cheng make eyes, the hooves of their clan, and the tail of the other clan ......"

When the man had finished speaking, the children remembered the first and only gaffe since they came to Yucheng, and excitedly threw the wine bowl and kicked over the small wooden table, staggered as if they were about to trip, picked up the talc and drew two strokes on the board, but before they could finish the drawing, they drunkenly vomited a plank.

Amid the laughter, several men carried their vomit-covered gentleman back to bed, while the rest stared at a line drawn on the board that looked like a great river, wondering what it looked like.

And those knocked over wooden tables, broken wine bowls, vomited filth, and the laughter of the crowd have become a vivid memory of this year.

Many years later, they still treasure the half-found coin, the obverse is still empty, but their hearts are already full. (To be continued.) )
