Chapter 81: The Family
There are several completely different explanations for the fact that the people can make it and not know it, and Jian Chen cultivated the slave owners of Xia Cheng as the successors of Xia Cheng, and wanted them to understand some truths, because Jian Chen did not believe that the people were stupid.

Behind this high-sounding reason, in fact, he only borrowed the ideas of everyone to achieve his goals: weakening the clan, facilitating control, not allowing the group, transferring power, expanding domestic demand to develop the handicraft industry, and weakening the weight of the Council of Elders.
Can separating land increase yield per acre immediately? No, but he has composting, the method of rational planting has not worked, and the method of selecting improved varieties is still being tested. However, after the division of the land, it will be carried out, and let the people take the credit for the fertilizer and planting on the divided land, because many people will not think about the essence, but will only see the surface, and after the harvest will surely rejoice and count all this credit on the divided land, and support him even more.
He knows very well what kind of world he wants, but he can't do it in one step, he can only follow the pace of the times in different eras and make the times go faster, because some things can't be jumped.
After separation, the form of a group of ten people will continue to deepen, fifty people will be one li, one li will elect one li, and strict control from top to bottom will allow officials to completely replace the rights of the clan leader, and these officials basically listen to him, only in this way can they concentrate their forces from top to bottom and realize his plan, otherwise Xia Cheng can only live in a corner of the grass river for hundreds of years to recuperate, and there is no way to expand rapidly in a few decades.
As for the sequelae of the strict system, that is a problem to be considered by future generations, in this life, as long as the rudimentary and nominal unification of the country within a cultural circle can be achieved, and it is a big deal to overthrow it in the future, but there is nothing more important than the unification of the cultural circle and the formation of ethnic groups, which is a major event related to all generations.
Now that the system of electing the leader has not changed, it is still once every three years, and Chen Jian wants to take advantage of the recuperation time of the He'e and Wei Alliances to change the election system to a lifelong system in three years.
Of course, he will not say these purposes in public, and some problems are impossible for the people below to be clear, so he only talked about the truth once, and the rest is to make a work report of the Xia Cheng government, brainstorming, hoping to put forward some reasonable opinions, and let these people feel the value of their existence, and at the same time formulate a three-year development plan.
"Since the six divisions have been elected to be in charge of the six kinds of things that the cities must face, then they must perform their own duties. Si Cargo Ji, you can talk about the current goods in Xia Cheng. ”
Jian Chen gave Yu Qian'er a look, a few days ago, Jian Chen was helping her get a report, and what she practiced was nothing more than reading it out in public. She liked the neat arrangement of numbers and hoped that she would be able to write something like this without her brother's help in the future.
Although she is not very old, as the person Chen Jian trusts the most, she has always been pushed by Chen Jian, and over time, she has somewhat gained some grace.
walked to the front of the stage, took the wooden tablet from the red fish, and said loudly: "I am the director of Xia Cheng, and the grain and goods of Xia Cheng are under my control, so please listen to Xia Cheng's family background, and I hope you will put forward good suggestions." ”
"The population is in charge of Situ, my brother has already finished speaking, but I will also talk about things like Sikong."
"The Xiacheng clan and the public property together have seven million catties of grain, and according to the ration of eight hundred catties of grain per person per year, not counting slaves, it is exactly a year and a half of grain storage. Among them, there are 3 million catties of grain stored in the public production, half of which comes from public land, and the other half comes from taxes and exchanges. ”
"Now there are 90,000 acres of land in Xiacheng, of which 20,000 acres are public production, and all the wheat and beans planted this year will be planted after tomorrow's harvest. There are 20,000 acres of land that can be irrigated by the summer canal, and according to the plan, it will be expanded to 35,000 acres when corn is planted next year. ”
"More than half of the land is distributed near Xiacheng, and the rest is in Heyin, Shangcheng, Yancun and Yangguan, and the land and population of Yemin villages are also increasing."
"Now the city has six hundred oxen, two hundred donkeys, and four hundred horses. These are public property, mules and cows still need time to grow up, Echeng also has to learn the method of cattle farming, but you can use wheels, bronze tools exchange, next year before the spring ploughing to have a thousand cattle, no one is allowed to exchange cattle and horses privately. ”
"There are 2,200 sheep in the city, most of which are in Yangguan, and the sheep can be bought and raised by themselves with Taobei, and the cubs are also their own."
"The remaining have eighty nests of bees, which produce 10,000 catties of honey every year, and require ten manpower; Maple sugar can produce 80,000 catties per year, and a part of the forced labor needs to be levied, but because it is the busy agricultural season in the spring, there will be no forced labor in the future, and it will be completed by slaves, and the annual output will be reduced to about 20,000 catties, and 600 slaves will be required. ”
"There were two hundred people in the mines, charcoal burning, copper smelting, pottery burning, and carpentry, and more than eight hundred slaves were needed. Forty catties of bronze can be produced every day, Ji Xia said that four thousand farm tools and three hundred sets of wooden plows should be made before spring ploughing, and more than 100 catties of copper need to be produced every day, which requires another six hundred slaves, but the time can be staggered with the slaves who boil maple sugar. ”
"Cattle and horses were raised by the individuals who distributed them, but seven hundred slaves were needed for composting, manure, nitrate, mowing grass, building warehouses, transporting goods, brewing wine vinegar, boiling salt, etc."
"As a clerk, I want me to achieve my goal next year, I must have at least two thousand five hundred slaves in my hands, at least six miles of people under my jurisdiction, and all the children in the school will be distributed to me next year."
"There were eight thousand slaves in the city, and one thousand fifteen hundred were divided into the clans, and two thousand were distributed according to the merits of the war but had not yet been allocated, and these two thousand slaves had to cultivate the land, which was an oath to the people. There are four and a half thousand left. ”
"Of these, 800 were built in the summer canal, 200 wharves and houses were built under the jurisdiction of Sikong, 400 roads were built, and 3,100 slaves remained, and 600 were left in addition to the 2,500 I needed."
Ji Xia said that he planned to increase some more public land, and even planned to add another 20,000 acres without counting the 2,000 slaves who originally belonged to the soldiers. I don't think this can be done, because Ji Xia only has six hundred slaves left in his hands that can be called, so I suggest that the public land should not be newly cultivated this year. ”
Yu Qian'er finished saying this, quietly put her hand in a place behind her where others couldn't see, and waved her hand at Jian Chen, Jian Chen quietly slapped her, and the two of them acted very well.
Those who listened below were amazed at the huge numbers, and also shocked that it was not so simple to be able to do it, and it was the first time they had seen such an opinion.
Think about your own opinions, which are often said with a pat on the head, and most of the time they are not applicable. Look at the opinions put forward by the company, they are clearly organized, and people can understand the reasons for them after listening to them, and such opinions are naturally good to judge whether they are applicable.
And although it is an opinion, it is actually a redistribution of the right to use the slaves of the year of public property, and the ownership of those school children.
The people below gradually understood what it meant to give advice, and in addition to proposing, it was more about how to distribute it.
The authority of the department is very large, but after all, there are still some things that do not belong to the department and the goods management, and those officials who manage it are very clear that if they want to do a good job, they need more slaves and more support, but they feel that they do not have such means as the department goods, and they will never be able to say it so clearly, and they are secretly anxious in their hearts.
As for the officials under the jurisdiction of the priests, copper, charcoal, etc., they were secretly thinking about learning the method of the priest and dividing more slaves from the priest, so as to better complete the things they were assigned, and several people had secretly begun to think about how to speak for a while.
Chen Jian took over and said: "This is what I didn't take into account, what the company said is very right, if you have any opinions in the future, it is best to do so." Then I agree with this opinion, and this year there will be no new public land except for the two thousand slaves. Do you have any comments? ”
Yu Qian'er nodded and said, "Yes, although I don't care about farming, there is something I want to remind you." Now there are a total of 90,000 acres of land in Xiacheng, and about another 30,000 acres, that is, 120,000 acres of land, will be reclaimed before spring plowing next year. In addition to 10,000 acres of hemp, vegetables, and gourds, the rest must be planted with corn, which requires the preparation of 2.5 million catties of corn seeds. ”
"So I suggest that within a month, all the remaining corn of all clans should go to Fang Market and be exchanged for pottery or barley beans, and this year it is forbidden to make corn wine, and peas or ale wine can be made. Within a month, everyone will report the remaining corn, and I will count how much is still missing, and the rest will be exchanged with Wei and E by me, the company. ”
Jian Chen nodded and said, "In that case, I promise your conditions." Two thousand five hundred slaves, six miles of countrymen. Since it was given to you, what kind of commitment do you have as a driver? ”
"Before spring ploughing next year, there are 1,000 head of cattle, 5,000 farm tools, and 2.5 million catties of corn seeds to prepare. Every day, 100 catties of copper and 300 catties of salt are produced, and 3,000 furs and 2 million catties of grain are exchanged for the city from Wei, E and the rest of the settlements, and each person in the city can receive at least one pound of wine, one pound of sugar, honey, and twenty pounds of meat every year. Support the food of the children in the school, the weak and the lonely and the elderly. ”
"That's the least I can do, and if I can't, I can be dismissed as a manager. It's the same with others, if you want to take charge of more slaves, you have to do more, and if you don't do it, you will be punished. ”
After Yu Qian'er finished speaking, Hongyu recorded Yu Qian'er's promise and pasted it on the wall of the council hall.
Chen Jian hummed and said, "Of course, if you can't do it, you will be punished, and if you do it, you will be rewarded, which is the same as fighting." If you do, you can be rewarded with land, slaves, or tabey. And if these opinions are really feasible and lacking in the city, there is a reward for speaking out, not only you, but anyone in the city can raise it. ”
The people below saw the clues, and roughly understood what this meant, the reward was tempting, but the punishment that could not be done was also very serious, and the red fish wrote down everyone's promise, which could not be escaped, and thought about it in their hearts, the timid did not dare to fight, but the bold ones were gearing up to get more rewards.
In the sixth division, Chen Jian is also the fourth division, and the secretary is Yu Qian'er, and Si Kou has been a respected clan leader since Ji Song was dismissed, but he doesn't have too many opinions.
After the Sixth Division finished saying its promise, the people under the Sixth Division also had to make a commitment to the Sixth Division, as well as manpower, pottery, food, etc., and each performing its duties needed to strive for more resources for the departments under its jurisdiction.
In addition, all kinds of opinions began to blow out, some details that Chen Jian couldn't notice, and some people who worked on the front line told their opinions for those rewards.
"The mill is still going to be expanded, and now it's too long to queue up for grinding."
"If there is no room for the city to live in, and in the future we will have to build houses outside the city, so I think it is better to build a wider and bigger wall."
"The docks need to be repaired, give me thirty slaves for ten days."
"Tofu brain is still salty."
"Before the beginning of autumn, I want to go to Yangguan to pull out the birch bark used for next year, and I can't pull it out after the beginning of autumn."
"The sacrificial hall is even bigger, and every day people go to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, and some of them are smaller. Besides, Xia Cheng is so big, and the sacrificial hall can't be too small. ”
"Get some female slaves to let the men relax, and you don't have to sing and chat, so you don't have trouble."
…………
Useful, useless, reliable, and unreliable opinions continued one after another, and after the first formal and well-founded meeting in Xia Cheng, Chen Jian found two more children to receive those who came to give advice, and they relayed them to Redfish, and then Redfish selected them and told him.
Although it was still a little jerky, a deformed bureaucratic system was working more efficiently than before, filling the gap in the power of the clan's imminent dissolution.
the pyramid structure of the power of the chief, the six divisions, the affairs officer, and the executor; Population management methods for chiefs, chiefs, lisi, and chiefs; Three-year plan, year-end income, next year's expenditure budget, reserved expenditure and other budget systems; Brainstorming the details of the discussion of politics and grasping the general direction of arbitrariness and dictatorship...... Although the most perfect side is just the play that Chen Jian and Yu Qian'er are acting for others, it has a little meaning. (To be continued.) )
