When the sky was about to dark, a bonfire was lit by the river, and those who were eligible to be sealed outside gathered around the bonfire to draw lots according to the tradition of Xia Cheng. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The general scope of each clan has been figured out, and the end close to Xia City is not within the scope of the separation, and those who are far away from Xia City will have to be divided.

Each person is about a territory of thirty miles in a circle, roughly divided into blocks, and the exact way to do so will have to wait until we figure out the geography of the mountains and rivers in this vicinity.

Yu Qian'er's fief is here, and everyone has no objection. One is that Chen Jian gave up his own, Yu Qian'er is his favorite sister, and she is also a businessman, and the clansmen who have a little sense of inequality naturally agree to this request. Moreover, Chen Jian also made it clear that Yu Qian'er's fief would be used as a place for transactions between these villages in the future, and this place was the most convenient and closest to Xia City.

Although it is a lot, it is not a full catch, Chen Jian used the mountains and rivers as the boundary to cut the people who were to be divided into four or five approximate ranges, and the people in each approximate range were not from the same clan, except for one of his own four surnames, the rest were mixed with people from various clans, and the effect was not to let them get too close.

Where did everyone want to get Chen Jian's thoughts, and their hearts were hot about this matter, and they all felt that if they did a good job, they might have a chance to take over Chen Jian's class in the future.

"Tomorrow the people of those clans are coming, I won't say much about what you do, but first, you can't betray the ancestors of Xia Cheng, and second, you can't violate the rules of Xia Cheng."

"Each of you has a small fief, and the population is only one or two clans, two or three hundred, and as many as five or six hundred. But further west, there are no clan settlements where you can dress, tie your hair, and be polite like us, and the land there is yours. ”

"The small settlements to the west, whether you capture or capture, it's up to you. If you encounter a large settlement like the Xijon people, Xia Cheng will always be behind you. To the west, the land is infinite, and there are thousands of settlements, until the sun sets, no one dares to stop it. ”

One person was disappointed and said: "Ji Xia, we don't have any soldiers in our hands, and the clansmen have also been dismantled by you, even if there are still many settlements in the west, and countless lands, how can it be ours?" ”

This is not his question alone, they are not military leaders, even the clansmen have been dismantled by Chen Jian, what to use to occupy those lands?

"Didn't it give it to your settlement? You also have slaves in your hands, choose those who are obedient, can speak our words, follow you for a long time, take the weapons of our summer city, and more than 100 people can defeat a few clans that are still using stones. Won't all the villagers in your fiefdom be able to fight in the future? Xia Cheng was built out of thorns, how much better are you than Xia Cheng was when you were back then? As I said, I will divide you so that the people of the city can see clearly who can manage the city well, those of you who have made meritorious deeds. I can't manage a single village, how can I rest assured that Xia Cheng will be in your hands in the future? ”

Jian Chen questioned loudly, his eyes swept over the leaders of several other clans and quite famous, of course, dividing them was not for the purpose of handing over the city to them in the future, but those who were a little younger and more ambitious naturally hoped that they could really capture more slaves and expand their fiefs, which was originally a process of survival of the fittest.

To the west is almost a vacuum of civilization, which can quickly gain a foothold, and the early colonization gradually assimilates in the way of civilizational aggression. It's not worth it to do this with the focus of the entire Xia City, but it's a pity not to do it, this kind of way to seek development after the partition is the best, save worry and effort.

Probably afraid that these people still didn't understand how to fight, Chen Jian woke up and said: "Are the slaves in your hands eager to become Chinese people?" So what is it to become a countryman in Summer City? Or is it to stop being driven? You promised those slaves that they would be meritorious in battle, even if they did not have the status of a countryman, but they could be higher than those subordinate peasants and slaves in your fiefdom, wouldn't they fight to the death? ”

"Those people in the clan lined up to cheer, and the slaves rushed to kill the enemy after hard training, who can stop you in those small settlements in the west? Moreover, even if one person is defeated, then seven or eight people together, there are nearly a thousand people and a hundred and ten slaves, a little bit to the west, maybe you can really go to see the place where the sun sets. ”

"As for the village, since you are the lord there, as long as those villagers cultivate and serve, the land is yours, even if you harvest half of the harvest, it is better than the original hungry, as long as you don't ask too much for them to resist."

"Within three years, seeds, ploughing cattle, field officials, and weapons will be provided by Xia Cheng, as much as possible with you. After three years, you only need to pay a part of the tribute, and any slaves you capture will be given to Xia Cheng, and Xia Cheng will not care about anything else. If you can lay a hundred miles of land to the west, your fief will have a hundred miles; If you can lay a thousand miles, there will be a thousand miles. ”

"Some of you have followed me on many expeditions, so you always have the ability to fight, right? Could it be that you are still afraid of those clan settlements who can't even line up with stones? ”

Once you make it clear, it feels much simpler. Many people are thinking that in three years, how can they cultivate thousands of acres of land in three years, and those slaves who are assigned by themselves can also be trained, and the identity of the countrymen cannot be given by themselves, but as Ji Xia said, they are superior to others in their own fiefdoms.

Of course, those settlements are not afraid of themselves, and they dare not say that a tribe of three or five hundred people, with the advantage of Xia City now, a few good ones together, one hundred and ten people can always make up.

No matter how bad he is, he has the right to go to war, and he always has the ability to go to the west to catch some slaves, and he will give half of the city, and the rest will be his own, but it is far better than in the summer city, where he can't go to war at will.

As for many people in the rest of the clans, they also knew that they were afraid that they would not have the opportunity to become the leader of Xia City in this life, and the reputation of a council elder was far better than having something of their own.

It's just that half of the people said anxiously: "Ji Xia, we all have official positions in Xia City, can't we come here regardless of Xia Cheng's affairs?" ”

"Of course not. You must not delay the affairs of Xia City, these places are only for rewarding your merits. Now make a choice, you can resign from everyone and elect someone else, and you can take care of it yourself. You can also continue to do something for Xia Cheng, and you can find some people to help manage the affairs of the village. Now that the family is separated, there are always younger brothers and sisters, right? Or some trusted relatives and clansmen. ”

Of course, it is impossible for these people to resign from their official positions in Xia Cheng, which is so easy to be elected to, after all, their own is their own, after all, there are still the rules of Xia Cheng behind, even if someone helps to take care of them, they are not afraid.

Finally, Jian Chen asked, "What else do you want to ask?" ”

"It's just the same. Ji Xia, how can I manage it well? What is considered a bad management? ”

"It's simple. The people in the village speak the summer language, wear summer clothes, tie their summer hair, observe summer rituals, and know the rules, which is the most basic. If you can't even do this, what's the use of opening up thousands of miles? Do it boldly and with confidence, and provoke no matter how great the enemy is, you will have your own city to resist it! If you don't want to go to the west to catch slaves and expand your fiefdom, you can also farm the fields in peace, and you can live in the summer city on weekdays, and the summer city will always be your summer city, not to say that you will be thrown here.
