Learning is a terrible thing, and Hongyu knows this very well, especially after understanding the meaning of Chen Jian's misinterpretation of learning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the slaves who were working here with nothing but freedom, Redfish muttered the two words and asked in surprise, "You want to teach this group of people to learn?" People who have studied are terrible. I thought you were just trying to run this place with the free slaves who ran our clan in the first place, but it seems that you are thinking more than that? ”

Jian Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it's not just that. There are too few people in Xia Cheng, these people are from different clans, but they have a common fate and identity, they have no blood relationship as an implication, and they will not fight each other because of kinship, just like Xia Cheng who was forced to dissolve the clan by me, they are the most suitable people to become Xia Cheng people. There is no way, there are too few people in Xia City. ”

Listening to the last word "person" that Jian Chen could emphasize, Hongyu was a little confused.

"The slaves of Xia Cheng are not human beings in the first place, so even if they live in Xia City, they are not Xia Cheng people. When an enemy attacks Xia Cheng, the people of Xia Cheng can fight for their land, but the slaves of Xia Cheng will not, because they are slaves first, and then they are slaves of Xia City, and they are still slaves when they change another group of people, and this will not change, and they will not be able to fight for Xia City. ”

"It's far away from Xia City, and it's impossible to move the entire Xia City here, so there is a need for new Xia City people, people who can fight for the city. Once upon a time in Summer City, I needed to feed the soldiers who had been out of production, and I needed rewards from the people of the city, which could only be obtained by crushing the slaves. ”

"One more slave will allow me to raise a few more soldiers, a few more people to build workshops, and a few more people to go to the academy instead of working. This is an indispensable accumulation, food does not fall from the sky, and if I want to gain the support of the people of the city, I must squeeze the slaves to feed the people. ”

"But now, Xia Cheng doesn't need such an accumulation of squeezing. Handicrafts, bronze smelting, cattle ploughing and gunpowder, fiefdoms expanding westward, sheep and horses plundering to the north...... We can already afford to raise the soldiers in Xia City, and we even have a surplus every year. The rest of these will be thrown into Yucheng, beyond the step of accumulation...... The leather whip has never been more effective for people to spontaneously slave for their own lives, and when each person here can produce more things per day than the average daily production of each slave in Xia City, it will feed Xia Cheng, and Xia Cheng will be able to make more slaves become people. ”

Jian Chen shook his head and sighed: "Nowadays, Xia Cheng has a lot of things that can use tools when standing on two feet, but there are too few 'people' among them, so we have to turn these people who are not human into people and tie them together with Xia Cheng." ”

Hongyu, who finally understood the difference between man and slave, stared at Jian Chen's eyes, surprised by her man's ambition: she knew too well the horror of these slaves when they became human - more than 20,000 people who could read and write, more than 20,000 whose interests were entangled with the city, and more than 20,000 people who lined up to listen to the whistle from plowing the fields to working in the workshop, would be a force that no leader except Jian dared to imagine in this era.

What's even more terrifying is that these people are not only countrymen and soldiers, but after a few years, the best of them can be thrown into a village, and what they have learned can be used to turn the still wild village into a Xia City village, and push everything Chen Jian wants to implement, writing, language, morality, technology...... They are seeds, seeds that can take root and sprout everywhere.

Hongyu thought, a long time ago she thought that the world was the waves along the grass river, and now the world she knew has become the two sides of the river, what about the future? Will the world she knows in the future include the boundless sea she hears about now?

……………

Ambition is a desire that excites all desires, and at night when a desire is stirring, the words about ambition and dreams are like the sap boiling from the bark of an acacia tree, and under the waning moon, the ships on the calm waters somewhere in Onozawa shake with inexplicable ripples, and the wailing of tremors awakens the gulls and herons that sleep overnight.

Two people who know what they want and always work for it are happy, especially at night when they want the same thing, so they are happier than they are on a normal day.

When the morning sun was full, the two of them walked down from the boat, and they did not shy away from the clansmen who looked at the two with a smile, and the happy and flushed cheeks inevitably made the soldiers of Xia Cheng miss the women who were far away in Xia Cheng.

The women in Onozawa are no longer slaves, they are already human in name, so they can only be careful not to act arbitrarily, which involves the distribution of property in the future, and the son of Noai cannot inherit the fief but can inherit a part of the land, which is supported by the law.

Hongyu instigated the women to fight for a part of the land when the clan disintegrated, and the women of these soldiers in Xia Cheng were the first batch of Chinese people in Xia Cheng, most of these women could not only support themselves, but also have brothers to rely on, the soldiers did not want to provoke their own women, and they did not dare to violate the law of inheritance of Xia City's property, and their hearts were itching.

With this itchy envy, it is inevitable that there will be a homesick mood, and the autumn planting is about to begin, and the women in the family don't know if they can do a good job in managing those slaves.

Early in the morning, when the soldiers of Xiacheng in Onozawa began to sing some songs of the grass river, Chen Jian and the others gathered together to chat, through the faint nostalgia and nostalgia in the song, Chen Jian promised that half of them could go home, and the number of new troops left in Onozawa in the future was one hundred and twenty, and the rotation was once a year.

Those who want to go back draw lots to decide to stay, and those who don't want to go back are promised that if they don't live here for a long time in rotation, they will be given more than half of their weekday food, rice and goods every month, and their future military exploits will also be bonus.

If it is acceptable, it can even keep the land in Xia City, and after three years of post-residency, another brick house built by public property will be allocated here.

People are not fanatical symbols, and everyone who is divided has their own desires, and this compensation is not only for the soldiers here, but also for the rest of the craftsmen and ordinary people.

After some hesitation, it was decided that there were thirty soldiers who would normally be reincarnated back to Xia City, and the remaining seventy had decided to stay for at least three years.

A day later, Yu Qian'er, who had been counting the warehouses in Sucheng, returned to the headland island, and without waiting for a rest, Chen Jian asked her to prepare to return to Xiacheng.

"Autumn planting is coming soon, I will hand over the jade plate to you, and you will preside over the autumn planting sacrifice for me as a master this year, and I will come back next year. I don't feel at ease with the rest of the people presiding, and they won't be able to convince the public, and you can decide everything when you return to Summer City. ”

"In addition, half of the first batch of children in the Summer City School who can recognize a few words will be sent here. Including all the people who have been promoted, those who have passed the academy assessment, and those who are qualified to serve as officials but have no vacant official positions for the time being, are all sent here. It is a rule that you must work here for three years before you are eligible to become a full-fledged official, which is the final assessment. If you don't want to come, you can directly give up your qualifications. ”

"Also, a part of the craftsmen, masons, carpenters, and smelters of Xia City will come here, and according to the merits accumulated on weekdays, the goods distributed here every month will be increased by half, and they will be rotated once every three years."

Chen Jian lowered his head and calculated, there are 8,000 free slaves here, according to the ratio of 20 in one belt, at least 400 people are needed, plus the management, a total of about 600 people are needed to operate effectively.

Set a number, Yu Qian'er wrote it down, and Chen Jian finally instructed: "Also, collect the goods and grain of the countrymen, go to the Acropolis to buy slaves, increase the smelting of bronze and the production of gunpowder, and set up a few copper furnaces, and then allocate a part of the slaves to work." The goods and goods of the people who are collected shall be paid off by the public property within six years, and after six years, the additional 20% shall be repaid or 3 equal shares of the 100 shares of the public property income of the Yucheng workshop every year. ”

"In addition, a few million catties of grain will be sent to the pottery and copper shells, and the goods of the Chinese people will be collected as exchange preparations, and the amount collected will be minted as much as possible, and the transaction with the Acropolis will be increased. Tell Wei Ha Eyue to prepare the new army they are going to train to come to Onozawa. ”

"Let the white horse take the people north out of Yangguan, establish a fang market on the early grassland, and exchange grain, salt, pottery, etc. for the horses of the grassland tribes, but leather armor, bronze, and gunpowder are strictly forbidden to exchange, and anyone who exchanges them will be hanged, no matter who it is."

"Let him continue to instigate the struggle of the steppe tribes, and help the weak to attack the strong, whether it is exchange, robbery, slaughter, whatever he wants. Didn't he want to build merit? Tell him that a man's greatest merit is to divide the fief, and his fief in the west is too small to be worthy of his heart. If he can get fifteen hundred horses by next winter, and a guaranteed harvest of four hundred horses a year, I will consult with the council that all north of Yangguan will be his fiefdom. ”

Yu Qian'er knew that her brother had never easily sealed such a large city, and knew that this matter was by no means a trivial matter, so she kept such a number in mind and kept it in mind, thinking about the number of goods in Xia Cheng, and it was not very difficult.

A lot of Xia Cheng's wealth is concentrated in the hands of the Chinese people, and forcibly recruiting the Chinese people will not agree, but there is no problem with the paid collection of Chen Jian's fame and credibility, but there is a problem.

"Brother, collecting food or something, it's not easy to do this year. You say that you will be sure to repay everyone, but now that there is a wolf's skin in the west, many people are looking forward to turning their goods into agricultural tools and weapons, so as to collect more land and capture more slaves and expand their fiefdoms. ”

"They have a lot of military achievements, more land slaves, and more food, and ordinary people can make up a small half, and most of them have to rely on them. However, they may not be willing to repay it after six years, in which case they can seize several times the amount of land and goods. ”

Jian Chen looked at his little sister, and finally learned to think about people's hearts at this time, and said with a smile: "You're right, but I let the wolf skin take charge of the fiefdom, as a clan brother, you tell him first." Tell him that his land is in the east, don't be short-sighted like those with foreign surnames, let him take the lead, and move everyone first, thinking that the rest of the feudal lords will be oppressed for the sake of the righteousness of the city. ”

"Besides, I said that there are no workshops in the fief that cannot be built, just to control them. Tell those people that those who pay more within six years can give priority to exchanging weapons and armor, etc., and those who don't pay will be ranked behind, you are the goods, in charge of the workshop in Xia City, and it is not simple to govern this group of people who only have people and no workshop to rely on? The wolfskin is in charge of the largest number of private soldiers and the largest fiefdom in the west, and if you tell him as I say, he will be on your side. There are soldiers, there are markets, although it is voluntary, who dares not to pay? ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Jian took off half of the jade jue in charge of military power, asked someone to bring a piece of silk, wrote some symbols that Yu Qian'er couldn't understand, and finally rolled up the silk, sealed it with beeswax, and printed the wrench finger on it while it was hot, put it into a wooden box, and handed it to Yu Qian'er's hand.

"During your time in Summer City, the new army is at your disposal. I'll stay here and build your fiefdom as soon as possible, and it won't be the same when you come back next year. Go, hurry back while the autumn wind is not rising, and the sacrifice of autumn planting cannot be delayed. (To be continued.) )
