"Now it's not like before, since last year, there have been some changes in the city, and that's what everyone agrees on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn the past, it was just farming the public land and the leader recruiting and following the troops, and if you didn't go, you wouldn't get a share of the spoils. ”

"It's different now, there are fewer things, more things, and the rules are more detailed."

"In the past, there was no such thing as money, at most, if you don't cultivate the public land or run away cowardly during the war, being expelled from the clan is the biggest punishment."

"Now that I have money, I borrowed someone else's money, and I have to pay it back, right? The person who borrowed money could not say that those who owed money could be expelled from the clan, and if they had no money, no food, and still had the strength, they would be reduced to slavery. ”

"There are rules in the clan era, but the rules of the clan era can't solve the current problem at all. If someone owes you money, do you want him to be beaten and settled, or do you want to pay you back as a slave? ”

"Now that the city has become something I don't even recognize, how could I have thought a few years ago?"

The farmer shook his head, another lament.

Nervously asked, "Then you don't like these changes?" ”

The farmer hurriedly said, "How can you not like it?" ”

"If it weren't for these changes, where would so much land have been cultivated? Even if it's bad at this time, it's better than before. Nowadays, it is true that he may become a slave because of debts, but he may also be able to own hundreds of acres of land with his own cattle and horses, ploughshares, etc., where can his eyes only look at those bad places? ”

"We are indeed lamenting, but what we are lamenting is not Maizi lamenting the new rules, but lamenting our own short-sightedness, how can we easily believe that Ji Xia will be shot by the Dongyi people?

"We are lamenting that those who burn pottery, raise sheep and collect wool, plant hemp and grass, and burn shellfish and lime...... How many people are crying in pain? ”

The peasant was still babbling and chattering, and Elu lowered his head and saw a few dried indigo grass in the ditch.

When he was in Yucheng before, Chen Jian told them that when there were enough roads and boats, the cities separated by two or three hundred miles would no longer exist alone, and many things in other cities would affect other cities.

At that time, he just listened, and what he thought was right was difficult to understand. Now that I have seen all this, I can really understand.

This is not only two or three hundred miles, but thousands of miles away, people's demand for the beauty of dyeing clothes, which has caused the lamentation and joy of the people in the fields in front of them.

Thankfully, this is just a field for growing indigo. Compared to the pillar farmland of the city, it is not much.

Counting the changes in those various workshops, it will not make Echeng feel broken.

Ehuang was a little worried for a while, worried that she was getting closer and closer to Xia Cheng, and one day this kind of influence would become bigger and bigger.

This uneasiness is only for a moment, and when I look up at these farmlands that were once wasteland, this uneasiness disappears, and I think of the things I learned in the school, there are always good and bad sides to everything.

The influence of Xia Cheng is already very great, otherwise where can the farmland here be reclaimed? Besides, if it weren't for the civil strife between Yuxia, those bad places would not exist. At least the peasants in front of them will be smiling at the indigo grass all over the ground and calculating how many copper coins they can exchange for next year, instead of sighing as they do now.

Ehuang thought to herself, the people who planted indigo grass must not want to see Xia Yu split.

However, the gentleman said that the impact of any event on a city should not be based on one person and only one person, but should be seen more and asked more to know whether it is good or bad. The majority is good and the minority is bad, that is good - except for slaves, who are not human beings, so their good and bad do not need to be consulted, unless they are treated as human beings.

This was a very important point that Eden had learned in the school, so he didn't ask what the people or slaves were hanging from the trees for, because they couldn't tell what they were looking for, and they only had the indigo grass they regretted getting rid of.

As for the changes in the city, it is not for this peasant to explain clearly.

The rules have changed, the methods have changed, and it subconsciously occurred to me that I should ask the officials of the city, who must be very aware of these changes, and will explain the reasons for these changes very clearly.

Then I thought that this was not Yucheng, and the little official who was not responsible for explaining the new rules at all couldn't help laughing.

"Let's go back and ask my father and mother."

Thinking like this, Ewen interrupted the clansmen who were still nagging about some farming matters, and politely apologized, using the reason that it was difficult to find anything wrong with the fact that she missed her parents very much and wanted to see each other soon.

Before leaving, the farmer pulled Ehuang and asked, "Lu, when will Ji Xia be able to come back?" ”

Ehuang said half-jokingly: "The destroyed indigo grass has dried up, even if Ji Xia comes back, can it still bring those indigo grass back to life and re-germinate?" ”

"Not really, but I'd like to buy some iron tools for my slaves. I don't want to build any workshop, I just want my family to farm the land, and I have a cow and my own ploughshare and cart, wouldn't that be nice? ”

"I thought that when the time comes, I will do what Xia Cheng did before, and give a little land to the slaves so that they don't starve to death, which is better than forcing them to work with a whip."

"They wouldn't give them the farm tools, but they would come and plant them for me when they had planted their own land, and when they went out with me, they would help me carry food and weapons on my back, or take a few more slaves back. That's good. ”

"Before that, how could you dare to think of such a day? It's the hateful group of Xia Cheng people, if they don't have a dispute with Ji Xia, they can pick indigo grass next summer. It's good now...... Hey, it's all their fault. ”

Ehuang stepped onto the horse, raised her whip and smiled, "Ji Xia will be back soon." ”

He said it very casually, but he thought to himself that some things may not be like this, if Ji Xia does not come back, it will be better for Echeng, even if his father does not object, I am afraid that he will not be so close to Xia Cheng again.

Casually saying it is just reassuring this clansman who is full of illusions about the future, so that he will not lose hope.

You can't judge right and wrong with certainty just because of one person, maybe the indigo planter hopes that Xia E will be as good as before, while the wheat planter hopes that Xia E will have no more entanglements.

Thinking so, the closer she got to the city, the more the land became more and more connected, and it looked extremely pleasant.

The method of two years and three crops has been basically implemented in Echeng, and the scope of the public field is larger than before, and there are no corpses of the kind seen on the road, only a few heads hanging on the city wall.

She recognized the one hanging on it as her uncle, her mother's brother.

It was an uncle he didn't like very much, and his mother seemed to have had a conflict with this uncle a long time ago when he first went to Xia Cheng as a hostage. At that time, he was not too big, and he did not quite understand the power dispute between the clans and towns, but now looking at the head of his uncle hanging on the head of the city, he roughly guessed what was happening.

His mother must be fine, and even this uncle's sense of existence as a relative is not high, or maybe most of the people in the city are related to him, anyway, the people who greeted him along the way did not talk about the head of the city, it seems that this is not a big deal.

"Cities need a true leader, and the clan always has to be sacrificed. For the betterment of Echeng. ”

Looking at the head of the city, he silently said goodbye to his blood relatives, and then smiled and talked to the people in the city.

There was a great change in the city, much more than when he left. Some brick houses appeared in the city, which has a very good taste of Yucheng, but it is not the same.

"Much prettier than Yucheng. At least not every room is the same. ”

The people who came back laughed and turned a blind eye to the more low-slung mud houses, which they didn't have to live in anyway.

Not far away is the wine shop where Yu Qian'er was a hostage here, the curtain on it is much better than the original simple, the original mud house has become a brick house, and there are several black pottery jars at the door.

She had never seen Yu Qian'er run a liquor store, and the two of them were hostages of each other at that time, and when she returned, they were gone, leaving only some rumors.

A childish little girl half-leaned on the wooden counter, tapping her fingers on the counter with a bit of laziness and boredom, smiling lightly and communicating with everyone with Xia Cheng's unique accent of articulation, and sometimes going out to the street to distribute some candy to children who have learned to read and count......

This is the girl in the dreams of many young people in Echeng, and when they passed by, several people tilted their heads together to look at the wine shop that they always felt excited about a few years ago, but what greeted them was a closed door.

Several people sighed together, looked at each other, and laughed.

"Our boss is in Yucheng, but the Yuqian in the wine store is gone. Everything is getting really fast. The people have changed, the houses have changed, and the cities have changed. I thought I could see a girl selling alcohol inside, so I thought that when I was in the city, I sat in it every day, and who knew that it was closed. ”

"yes, everything has changed."

Ehuang shook her head and said to everyone: "It's okay if it changes." Okay, let's go back and see our parents. ”

When he turned around to leave, someone couldn't help but ask, "Huang, what does it mean that Sir sent us all back?" Is it for us to return to Echeng completely? Or are we going to return to Yucheng in the future? ”

With her back to them, her legs between her legs, she waved her arms and shouted, "Sooner or later." ”

The crowd looked at each other, not understanding what this meant sooner or later. Will you return to Yucheng sooner or later? Or will you have to return to Echeng sooner or later?
