Chapter 21: Another Voice

The ease of talking about it is nothing more than ruining the reconstruction, but my heart is still full of regret for this worst possibility. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After all, the two cities were built by everyone's sweat beads, there was sweat on the walls, and there was blood in the soil, and it took great courage to really break them down and rebuild, and not everyone had them.

After hearing this, Ji Bai was very surprised by Jian Chen's ruthless decision, although he trusted Jian Chen extremely and even admired him, he still couldn't help but ask, "Ji Xia really endures?" And once the fight starts, it will be our own people who will die. I think...... I think that when it comes to infighting, there are no heroes and no winners. ”

"What can I do if I can't bear it? If you can move others with your mouth, where is there still war in this world? What is the cause of the war? Isn't it a benefit yet? and so it is with each city, and so it is with the city. ”

"If we conquer a city, we will not take those people as slaves, but allow them to live according to their old habits, and even help them build them for free...... Will the city that was taken hate us? ”

"Apparently not. But the question is, why do we do this? Isn't the purpose of war to grab slaves and plunder wealth? In the final analysis, it is still interests. Xia Cheng has a bottom layer, and the rest of the cities also have a bottom layer, but if Xia Cheng wins, the bottom of Xia City is higher than the bottom of the rest of the cities, and it invisibly strips the bottom of the rest of the cities. ”

"Unless, as I said, take other cities just to make them better, I'm afraid no one will do that, right? The war against the rest of the cities can be covered up with words like the city, and there is no way to cover up the city with such nice words, but the essence is the same, don't say anything about infighting and no heroes, it depends on whether you live better for the majority of the city. ”

"If you're better off for the majority of the city, why aren't you a hero?"

"If you ask, if a member of his clan kills someone and steals money, he cannot be executed because he is a member of his clan? Therefore, the one who seized him and executed him should be blamed, and he had the strength to kill his tribesmen but did not kill foreign enemies, is he a coward, not a hero? Stealing openly is stealing, but secretly isn't it? ”

Ji Bai thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "I understand!" ”

Jian Chen waved his hand and said, "Not only do you have to understand, but you also have to let every black-clothed guard understand." That's why those workshopmen on the other side can come together so quickly, because they know what they're fighting for. This is very important, and when it calms down here, we will have such people in our army. Only by knowing what to fight for, can you be invincible. ”

"At the end of the day, it's all about winning. Until there is no better candidate, I may make you the preacher of the entire Blackguard. Soon there will be chaos, and when the time comes, I will solve the doubts in the hearts of those people. Let them know that they are doing the right thing and doing heroic deeds. ”

Ji Bai nodded yes, sat down and carefully reflected on what Jian Chen had just said, preparing to sort it out with the scarce words so that he could remember.

And Jian Chen didn't relax, he couldn't relax with contempt in his mouth, he couldn't relax in his heart, and after making sure that those people were ready to flee, Jian Chen finally began to move.

First of all, he called together the people in charge of propaganda under his control, and under his leadership, the public opinion machine, which had been holding back, began to operate at high speed to prepare for the upcoming chaos.

These people were going to wait for the group of people in the council to leave, and they were going to make a big fuss about the mess they left behind.

But that evening, as the conspirators were about to leave, someone in the city did what the propagandists wanted to do but had not yet started, making the already chaotic situation even more confusing.

The cause of the incident originated from Ji Yun, who was tied up by the workshop workers, and the earlier cause was Chen Jian's words that Ji Yun heard in the mine two years ago, which made Ji Yun guess what Chen Jian was thinking.

Hands and feet are tied, but the mind is not.

Two years ago, Chen Jian said some changes in the future, Ji Yun guessed that Chen Jian might have to make a big move, he kept his mouth shut, and he didn't even say anything about his own woman, and he was thinking about which side to stand on when he was going to stand in line in the future.

Now in the face of such a chaotic situation, he thought of Chen Jian's words at the beginning, and naturally understood who those people and people who seemed to exist at that time were, and it was obvious that they were these workshop workers.

In fact, Jian Chen didn't say anything to Ji Yun, but it was precisely because he didn't say anything that Ji Yun saw an opportunity, and saw an opportunity to fight to the death in exchange for trust and a future.

said that it was done according to orders, but did not say that it coincided, it was completely different.

When he was in the mine, he had an opportunity, seized it, and won praise that he didn't even dare to think of.

Today, the opportunity is only greater than it was then, but it is also more difficult.

You don't need to offend people about the opportunity you had two years ago, you just need to do your thing.

Now he has to completely draw a line with the old school in Xia Cheng and plunge himself into this endless battle to the death.

If Jian Chen loses, his life will be over, and he will die.

But he believes that Chen Jian will not lose. So I decided not to do anything, since I want to stand in line, I must not be afraid of failure.

A lot of the news on the opposite side was only separated by an inland river, and when the council said that the public property would be divided so that everyone could forge ahead and kill the enemy, Ji Yun and those workshop workers also heard it, and they also saw the chaos on the other side.

The workshop workers didn't care about this, and after a mockery of the other side, they went about their business, anyway, these workshops had nothing to do with them after they left.

Ji Yun looked at the group of workshop workers, shouted a few words and asked, "Do you have to go?" ”

"Nonsense, don't you leave and stay as a slave?"

"Ji Xia may agree to your request, as long as the rules are ......"

"Don't talk to us about the rules, aren't the rules open to change at will? Ji Xia is obedient, but what is the result? Let your council be clean, and now you can't even see a shadow. Now that we have to divide up these public workshops, and just ask your people to come and slaughter us, why should we stay stupidly? ”

Ji Yun shouted: "If Ji Xia is here, he will definitely abide by the rules." What you have won has not been violated by Ji Xia. ”

This is true, and the workshop workers are also deeply touched, and several people bow their heads and say nothing, and one of them with a black cloth wrapped around their arms says: "You are right, but it is meaningless." Ji Xia used to be the head of the council, but now she may not be. Besides, what if we believe in Him? If he dies, will the next person be like him? Originally, we thought that Yucheng was very good, at least there were rules to restrict. We stayed not because of Ji Xia, but because of the rules. Now we can't stay anyway. ”

Ji Yun pleaded, "Then can you let me go to the river and say a few words to the clansmen on the other side?" They were deceived, and Ji Xia didn't know where. If they really fight for the division of public property, it will not be good for you, don't you? ”

The man with the black cloth glanced at Ji Yun and said, "You have such a good heart?" ”

Ji Yun thought that since he had already stood in line, after winning, these people would definitely be the same countrymen as himself, and this was the time to show his image. Anyway, defeat is death, and if you win, you have to plan for the future.

So he shouted loudly and proudly: "I am for Xia Cheng, for Yu Cheng, for all my relatives!" Some people may not want to listen to what I say, and they may kill me after you leave, but what is it to die better for the city? ”

In fact, he felt like he wasn't going to die, and these people weren't going to go. Whether it is death or the departure of these people, the words just said will not have a chance to be remembered for eternity.

Although he knew in his heart that he would not shout such words if Jian Chen died at this time, but people's hearts were separated from their stomachs, who knew except himself?

Even though it is still in a hostile state now, Ji Yun's resounding words still won a full round of applause, and many workshop workers spontaneously applauded with the habits they learned in Yucheng, and several people praised: "We really like you Xiacheng people, at least some of you have some things in your heads that others will look at and mock." It is said that there are people who are looking for how to make peace in the city, and they are not even suitable for the priests; There are also those who almost died of exhaustion in order to report back to the city. Tsk, I didn't think you were such a person. ”

Ji Yun said with a cold face: "We are enemies now, you praise me just to let your people learn from me, but you may not be able to learn it." ”

The person with the black cloth wrapped around his arm, Ji Yun hated it and always showed his teeth and always looked like a mockery, and always preached something in front of everyone, shrugged his shoulders and said, "We don't have to learn, because we don't have to shout, but we are doing it with our hands." We are not as good as you say, but our hands are still working in the workshop, and we are holding spears by the river, which is much more useful than speaking. ”

Ji Yun snorted, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that this person was on the hanged list, his words were like arrows and spears, his sentences were bloody, and his words pierced his heart.

If the person on the other side knew that the words that had been widely circulated in the last riot were made by this person, I am afraid that he would be hanged for more than that.

In the end, the workshop workers still escorted Ji Yun to the river with a smile, or out of a trace of respect.

Facing the familiar old man, Ji Yun shouted loudly: "Fellow clansmen, how did it become like this? What about Ji Xia? Why are those people allowed to mess around? What do they know? is full of thoughts about his own broken rights, where have you thought about the entire Xia City? How can people be convinced if they say what they say without believing it? The rules that are said to be good can be changed at will, today it is for these workshop workers, will it fall on our heads tomorrow? ”

"The change of public property, according to the rules of our summer city, is not something that can be decided by the council, but it is to be discussed together by the Kaichengyi conference, which is not in accordance with the rules. Such a big thing was decided in a small room? I see some of you are still smiling, oh my God, what could be more terrible than that? ”

"If you break the rules, one hut can decide the fate of the entire city, is it more difficult for those in the hut to want your life and your property than to change the city?"

"This kind of chaos is all because of the easy change of rules, haven't you woken up to the cause of all this chaos? Now that the workshop workers are leaving, and there is only one empty city left, who will pay for the loss? Could it be that those who break the rules of the council will compensate everyone with their own private land and property? ”

"These workshops are divided among everyone, but what's the use of everyone asking for a bunch of bricks and tiles that no one has? Isn't it time for us to do more work? Now we work four or five hours a day, and by the time these people are gone, we will have to work for seven or eight hours! ”

"Let's see, what has become of Yucheng now? There are chest walls and ditches everywhere, and in ten days, how many things can we exchange for in the past? But now? Nothing! The people of the council also have land slaves, they can live well without workshops, and even without the constraints of rules, it will be better, but what else can we rely on except rely on rules to protect us? ”

"They have a lot of land, a lot of slaves, what do we have? These public workshops are finished, what do we live on? ”

"They changed the rules at will today and divided the public property. Can't we change the rules tomorrow and take back the public property? At that time, all the rules that Ji Xia set for us to protect us will be gone, aren't you just fish on the board, let those people slaughter them? Is what the congregation wants, is it really what you want? ”

"Look at the rest of the cities, they have always had slaves, they don't even have the rules of being human, but are they doing better than us?"

"Yes, some people, some relatives and nobles are better off than us, but how many cities can there be? Maybe one in a hundred. But you can't be one in a hundred miles now, so why do you believe that when Xia City also becomes the appearance of the rest of the cities, you can become the one in a hundred? ”

"If you are very high in meritorious rank or even excellent in the academy, and you support those fools, I will only praise you, because you have proven yourself to be one of the best in a hundred, and you are still a superior person in what the city has become, and you are fighting for your own interests, and even if you don't agree, you will be praised for being very smart."

"But you are not as good as me, why do you think that everything is like the rest of the cities, and you can live like the rest of the cities, instead of the lives of those low-level people?"

"Do you have the ability to do one out of a hundred, or even one out of a thousand? No! You are obviously one of the ninety-nine, why do you want to defend what that one person wants? That's stupidity. ”

"You are doing better than the bottom of the rest of the cities because the cities are strong and different, because our public property workshops have stolen slaves from the rest of the cities to raise us, not that you are different from the bottom of the rest of the cities, and one day you will not have time to cry when you know."

"Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, if you believe their words today, you will bind yourself with your own hands, and you will be slaughtered by them in the future."

"That group of people in the council has betrayed Xia Cheng at all!"

After scolding these words, Ji Yun's voice was a little hoarse, and the opposite side also fell into a terrifying silence. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, and his words had driven him into a corner, and if those people won he would only die, and his insults to his people could also lead to a lot of arrows.

But the other side was extremely quiet, those countrymen looked at Ji Yun, and then looked back at the council, and began to struggle and hesitate in their hearts, not knowing who was reasonable.

I don't know who said after a long sigh: "There have been so many changes in the past few days, so much so that we don't know who is right." ”

"If only Ji Xia were here, we would be like a lost deer, and we had to have our mother tell us where to go. He knows for sure what is right and what is wrong. ”

"What he said is right, I have followed Ji Xia to other cities, and those low-level people are not as good as us, but we are not as good as the relatives and nobles in those cities. But can we become relatives? They all want to live like that without doing anything, and what can be eaten and used can't fall from the sky, and someone has to work, right? Somebody's got to fight, right? ”

"If only I had listened to Ji Xia at the beginning, I would have been safe and stable, and those workshop workers would not have rebelled. In fact, they don't want much, they just want not to break the original rules. ”

"The people of the council...... Is it really for themselves? What is good for the city? ”

Ji Yun secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his shoulder, listening to the chatter and discussion not far away, he suddenly bit his shoulder, prompting himself to stop thinking about the consequences of failure, and shouted while he was in sharp pain: "Clansmen! Clansmen! If you want to end this mess, if you want to see it happen in the future, there's only one way! ”

Taking advantage of the time when everyone listened attentively and was slightly stunned, Ji Yun simply shouted without being shocked.

"Be disciplined, don't conspire!"

"I want Ji Xia to be arbitrary, not a council!"
