"It's a bit far, indeed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, even though there are ships in Xia Cheng, I heard that there are only two or three, and those ships are much larger than the canoe, but how many wheels of gunpowder can they hold?"

The leaders also knew that it was not realistic to let Jian Chen take the initiative to hand over these things, so they could only retreat at this time and said: "There are not many things we can exchange, nothing more than silk, corn, clay pots and the like. The pottery that wants to come to Xiacheng is not bad, and Echeng is near Xiacheng, although there are no silkworms, but there are a lot of silkworms, and it is difficult to transport the remaining grain. “

Jian Chen nodded and said, "This is indeed a problem, I didn't expect it." “

He pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Today I went to Dahe with the son of the leader of Suyue, and I heard him say that there is a Daze a hundred miles west of here, and the location is very good, connecting things and things. It's a pity that Xia Cheng is far away in the Grass River, if only it were there. “

Su Yue frowned, what Chen Jian said was very problematic, he didn't believe that his son could say this, but Chen Jian's last words about the location of Daze and Xia Cheng did not explain who said it before, so it sounded like what his son said.

Daze is a hundred miles west of Sucheng, even if Suyue wants gunpowder and a way to train soldiers, he will never want Xiacheng to move here, especially after the soldiers in Xiacheng showed that kind of terror that is almost numb.

So he took the lead and said: "The land of Daze is barren, and there are floods every year. The escaped slaves from more than a dozen surrounding cities were among them, and they could not be cleared and captured after several encirclements and suppressions, and mosquitoes gathered and leeches meandered. Moreover, Xiacheng is far away in the northwest, where there are grassland tribes, and there are Xirong rebellions, although the ancestors of Xiacheng surnames originated from the river, but there are ancestors buried there after all. It is not okay to fall into the hands of barbarians, destroy graves and cut off sacrifices. “

As soon as he said this, several cities near Osawa echoed him, especially some weak cities opposed it again and again, knowing that Onozawa was not suitable for farming, but who knew what strange way Xia Cheng could turn a swamp into fertile land?

After hearing this, Jian Chen said curiously: "Everyone is laughing, the ancestors of Xia Cheng are buried in Caohe, born and raised in Si, how can they leave?" Although Xia Cheng really wants to move back to the big river, but now that there are Chengyi clans on both sides of the big river, how can Xia Cheng occupy other people's land after decades of accumulation of descendants? ”

"It's just...... I was thinking that if Xia Cheng built a small town there, there would only be artisan workshops and barns. One is that the medicine of fire is a little dangerous to refine, and it will explode if you are not careful. The second is that the grain transfer is a little inconvenient, so you might as well hoard it there. ”

He was afraid of other people's objections, so he immediately added: "There are only a few hundred people left in Xia City to guard there, beware of those escaped slaves and looting, not the whole city moved." Come to think of it, it is more than 100 miles away from Sucheng, and there is a large river for convenient transshipment, and it is not far from the rest of the clans, which is the best way. I will build a school there and share with my relatives what my ancestors taught me. Once Dongyi is in turmoil, Xia Cheng can't do his best in Caohe, but the hundreds of people in Onozawa can always do their best, even if they can't kill the enemy, they can finally be regarded as a part of the hearts of everyone in Xia City. ”

"In Onozawa, there is a city but no walls, and there are relatives all around, so why do you need a city wall? When the time comes, it will be transported along the river, and it will be convenient for everyone in Xia City to learn the rules of their relatives. There are only workshops, schools, and warehouses. ”

"The land outside Onozawa is fertile, and it is also dyed with blood by the ancestors of your relatives to leave it to future generations, even if it is a relative, there are relatives who are distant and close, and Xia Cheng does not dare to occupy it, only in a place where there are many mosquitoes within ten miles around Onozawa."

It seems that this is indeed a good way to win together, everyone thought about it for a while and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, if Xia Cheng really did it, it would not be a threat to anyone. If you can't do it, Chen Jian is already too full of words now, that city does not build a city wall, and it is not forbidden for people to come and go, once the time comes, once it is found that the city wall is built, several cities and towns will be demolished together.

Today's city wall is not only a psychological comfort, but also a real means of defense, and without all kinds of siege equipment, it can only be besieged.

In addition, although Onozawa is vast, it is not suitable for human habitation, not to mention the flooded mosquitoes, even the fugitive slaves hidden in the reeds will make people daunting and intimidating, and the slaves of many nearby cities have gone there after escaping, and they never want to go back to be slaves, and they fight to the death, even women and children would rather jump into the water than be caught again.

For the nearby clans, it was a meaningless land, and since there were few people in the land at this time, no one would go to that kind of place without idleness.

They don't have much concept of mathematics, Chen Jian said that the ten miles around the lake as a part of the residence of the people of Xiacheng does not sound big, but if you carefully calculate the surrounding ten miles of a large lake that is hundreds of miles wide, the area is actually very large.

If the two cities of Ewei were considered to be close to the water before, if the workshop of the summer city was really established in Onozawa, then there would be more clans near the water. I didn't think that Chen Jian could agree to agree, but I didn't expect Chen Jian to agree to it, but I didn't expect Chen Jian to agree to it, but I didn't expect Chen Jian to agree to it so happily, and he didn't seem to be worried that those gunpowder, military training, ridge cultivation and other methods would be passed on to the rest of the clans.

The leaders of several clans quietly discussed, and they all nodded and said, "If Ji Xia can really do what you said, we are willing to carve out ten miles of land." “

After they finished speaking, they looked at Su Yue again, Su Yue pondered for a moment, and did not think of any problems, it seemed that there was indeed only a benefit, if Xia Cheng was not a city move, only a few hundred people were not a threat at all.

This place is far away from the Grass River, if there is really any change, the surrounding clans can unite nearly 10,000 people, even if Xia Cheng's soldiers can fight one against two, it will not help.

The diffusion of those technologies is real, and since Jian Chen has agreed to the exchange, he must always give a considerable return.

He thought for a while and said with a smile: "This matter is not a trivial matter. Today, the leaders of the various clans are in the city, so you might as well discuss it today. Two days later is the winter solstice, and there is heavy snow, and there are many wild beasts, which is a good day for hunting. The first hunt of the winter solstice prey always want to let the ancestors taste, the winter solstice is also the time of sacrifice, these three years of rain and wind without flood and drought, it is to be grateful for the protection of the ancestors of heaven and earth, not to be disdainful. “

"But when the sacrifice is made, can the surnames of Xia Cheng offer sacrifices? Where did you stand when the sacrifice was offered? Is it a sacrifice or a tribute? This is a big deal, and you can't mess with the rules. If everyone thinks that Xia Cheng can offer sacrifices and blessings, don't say ten miles, even if Xia Cheng encounters a disaster and famine, what is there to move in? But if everyone thinks that Xia Cheng is not enough to worship, then don't say ten miles, it is a land the size of corn, how dare I make a decision? ”

He didn't say anything about the alliance, because for the entire clan on both sides of the river, the alliance was a big deal, and Xia Cheng's entry into the alliance was a small matter...... It's not in Xia Cheng, where the alliance is the same as joining the alliance.

The sacrifice itself is a definite name. Is it eligible to sacrifice? Or can you only offer all kinds of tribute like those weak barbarians? Is it as a family sacrifice? Or did you come to congratulate you? This thing can't be wrong, ancestors can't be worshiped by anyone, and those who are not qualified can only stand aside.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuemei stepped forward and saluted everyone: "Uncles, my father can't come because of illness, and before leaving, he asked me to say something. “

"He said that Xia Cheng originated from the big river and moved to the northwest, and it was originally of the same clan, which is like wood, that is, it is painted with wood paint and changed color, and it is also wood."

"Moreover, the Acropolis was besieged by the Xijon people, and Xia Cheng did not participate in the alliance at that time, but he remembered the oath of the year. Ji Xia once said, this is like between brothers, there is no oath, but the blood is a natural oath, so why do you need words and blood? It's like a walnut, we eat the kernels, not the outer walnut shells. Isn't a walnut without a shell a walnut? What do we want walnut shells? Or is it the benevolence inside? Walnut kernels are planted in the ground, and after a few years, they still bear walnuts; If you throw away the walnut kernels and only throw the shells, only spring mud will be left after the first rain. ”

"Therefore, Yueyi hopes that you will accept the surnames of Xia Cheng and fulfill their dream of returning to their kinship, won't these things done by Xia Cheng shame those clans who swore an oath back then but colluded with the barbarians?"

After she finished speaking, her eyes glanced at Jian Chen, and found that Jian Chen was smiling gratefully at her, her heart was beating secretly, and the last few words were a little hurried, only she knew that the reason why she spoke in a hurry was because her heart was upset, and her face turned red.

She was the first to speak, and when it came to the Acropolis, Wei He also stood up and said: "What I said is true, the Acropolis was besieged, and it was Ji Xia who saved the Acropolis by remembering the wordless oath between relatives, and the Acropolis supported Xia Cheng to worship his ancestors." Not for him to save the Acropolis, but for him to save the oath of decades ago. The acropolis is like grass mustard, and the oath is like the sun and the moon. ”

The other three cities along the Grass River also agreed, and the three-city alliance of Ewei Xia had great interests and was worth observing, while the other two forced small towns were well aware of the results of their opposition and had to agree, and greatly appreciated Xia Cheng.

Su Yue's attitude was not expressed, and the leaders of the rest of the cities immediately made a decision.

The growing barbarians around them, the bloody strife between clans, and all these things made many clansmen yearn for the peace between clans like they did decades ago, and also made some clans on the fringes hope that they would have someone to support them in the back when foreign clans were at war, rather than being stabbed in the shadows.

The weaker clans want to be able to settle some disputes within the rules of a system, rather than relying on armor and swords outright.

Even the powerful clans are not necessarily opposed to the Alliance, but to the Alliance for which they have not benefited enough - their opposition is more of a gesture, and they do not want to be truly united, as they were decades ago, but want to have regional hegemony and absolute autonomy within certain rules, which must be opposed by the leaders of the Alliance. They use this gesture to exchange more benefits for their clan, and when the time comes, they will each take a step back.

As for Xia Cheng's entry into the alliance, which Jian Chen attaches great importance to, it was originally just a small episode for them, but because of the shock in the past few days, this episode has become not to be taken lightly.

Everyone knew that if they stood up against Xia Cheng's entry into the alliance at this time, it would be impossible for Xia Cheng's technology to spread to their own city, and such a strange and powerful enemy had been planted.

Anyway...... Even if Xia Cheng joins the alliance, he is not qualified to have any status, and it will not affect the rest of the distribution of benefits.

Perhaps, the big things that disturbed Jian Jian who couldn't sleep well for more than a month and thought about every day were just small things in their opinion. (To be continued.) )
