Chapter 141: The Rest of the Life of Total Reaction (1)

Jian Chen prepared a belly full of rhetoric and vicious ridicule, but when the army came to Sucheng and the cities of the hardcore allies around Sucheng, it was useless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Those with the surname Su fled with their chariots and horses to Dongyi or the rest of the cities, leaving behind only those who were nominally surnamed Su but not actually worthy of the surname Su, and a large number of slaves.

These people may also want to run, but originally everyone walks, and one clan walks slowly together; Now those who run in advance have cars and horses, and they can leave after packing up, and it is not so easy for the rest to go, and those who have cars and horses are disgusted and dragged down for fear of being caught up by Xia Jun.

Six cities were conquered without bloodshed, and more than 90,000 men, women, and children, as well as more than 70,000 slaves, were obtained.

The method was crude and simple, ensuring the interests of the vast majority of civilians, dividing the public land of the original city and the private land of the escapees according to the civilian population, and setting aside one-tenth of it as the future military merit field.

Each city relocated 200 families of Xia people, and then used the reserve officials trained in Yucheng to compile household registration according to the system of Xia Cheng, leaving a small number of slaves to cultivate those military fields, and the remaining slaves moved away.

All peasant households need to serve as conscripts in their spare time, dig canals, repair city walls, etc., and can borrow copper money from the warehouses of Xia Guo to buy farm tools, and pay them off within five years. According to the number of people, all ploughing cattle are shared by more than 10 households.

The promise given to the slaves was that after four years of labor, they would all have a household registration and become human beings. During this period, slaves were allowed to marry, and the children born could also be counted as human beings, and they would not be humiliated again.

More than 70,000 slaves and more than 20,000 civilians were relocated to a distance of twenty miles on the other side of Yucheng, where the terrain was flat, adjacent to the great river, and the terrain was high, so they built and reclaimed the city and built a new city.

After the general stability, Chen Jian led the army eastward to relieve the siege of Xinhua City.

4,000 elites, plus 4,000 peasant soldiers, as well as the army of Xinhua City and the slave civilians who were promised land after the conquest, totaled more than 15,000 people.

Concentrate the elite and all the artillery, storm the Chinese army, Qiongxi was defeated and retreated, Chen Jian did not directly attack the city, but retreated back to Xinhua City and continued to build a fortress to garrison.

At the end of autumn, he returned to Yucheng and broke seven cities, so that the military superiority of the Xia State had been completely crushed, and the population of the land directly under the control had reached the limit of the proportion of officials.

So with the power of great victory, spread the Quartet, and met in Yu.

In the autumn of the following year, the leaders of the various cities of the Great River tribes gathered in Yucheng and discussed for a month, and finally reached a consensus.

All the tribes are collectively called Huaxia, except for one hundred and twenty Chengyi clans of the Huimeng, the rest are Yidi.

It adopts the story that Chen Jian has heard from the legends of various clans: all the Chinese tribes came from the sacred mountain at the source of the great river, and later a large number of people migrated to the great river. The tribe has two brothers, one is Huang and the other is Yan, and the tribe knows how to use fire to keep out the blood, build houses to protect from the wind and rain, and identify corn and grass to cover the hungry.

Later, due to the flood, they went their separate ways. The Yellow Belt people went southwest and then climbed the mountains to the northwest, leaving behind the Xia Kingdom; Yan led people to live along the river, and then another group went down the river to the east, and was bewitched by bad souls to worship the sky for Dongyi. Xia and the tribes were originally brothers, and at this time, the alliance was just a brotherhood reunited.

Now that the Chinese brothers are in alliance, they will go east to exterminate those who worship the sky, make them realize their mistakes, speak the words of Yan and Huang anew, slaughter their priests, cut off these falsehoods, and educate their people.

The Chinese tribes respect Chen Jian as the king, as the protector of all the Chinese tribes, and the tribes elect people to be responsible for sacrificing their ancestors, and the leaders of the Xia State have the right to sacrifice on behalf of the tribes, and have the right to mobilize all ethnic groups to control the water and attack Yidi.

In the event of an attack by Yidi, famine, drought, etc., the Xia Kingdom needed assistance and soldiers to protect the country.

All the ministries abide by the great laws of Huaxia that have been discussed for more than a month, and there are regulations on what can be done and what cannot be done, but any transgression is regarded as a betrayal of Huaxia, and the ministries have the obligation to levy and divide their land and people.

How to sacrifice and how to dress were all prescribed by Chen Jian, who temporarily assumed the position of high priest, and the office of high priest only existed for ten years until no one could fully explain the world.

Xia is the common motherland of all Chinese tribes, and the new capital city is built, and its name is Hua, and the capital is Huacheng. After the leaders of the Chinese tribes died of illness and old age, they were all buried in Huacheng.

The Chinese tribes are not allowed to attack each other for no reason for three hundred years.

The Xia Kingdom provided iron smelting and copper smelting technology, and provided cannons as ritual weapons and weapons for the various tribes. Correspondingly, the tribes needed to pay tribute to copper, iron, grain, etc.

The Xia State was founded for 800 li, and 14 cities within 800 li were attached to the Xia State, and the system was changed. The attached chieftain and priest kept a part of the land, and after five years of labor, the slaves became nationals, and then rented the land of the chief priest.

Eight hundred miles away, the Xia Kingdom was not allowed to interfere with the inheritance of rights in various cities. However, all the next leaders must have the experience of studying in the Hwaseong Academy for eight years, and all heirs need to be canonized by the Xia State Rite Department, and those who have not studied in the Xia Kingdom Academy are not eligible to inherit, and will be regarded as a betrayal of Huaxia.

The noble land of all ethnic groups has the right and obligation to go to the Xia Kingdom to study. The enlightenment textbooks of various countries must be consistent with the Xia Kingdom and must not be deleted, otherwise it will be regarded as a betrayal.

In contrast, the Xia State had the obligation to help the countries defeat the Yidi, stabilize the region, find mines, and start smelting.

All the ministries will meet once every five years, and a great alliance will be held in Huacheng, where all the people of China can participate in the competition of martial arts and knowledge.

No checkpoints shall be set up between the various ministries in China, and all trade exchanges shall be free. All ministries use Chinese copper coins, silver coins and gold coins, not privately minted, all those who privately minted, wiped out all relatives within the five suits, if the leader privately minted the country, the whole country for slavery to strip the Chinese identity, the whistleblower is not guilty of reward.

After the alliance of the various tribes, they went all out to the east, defeated Dongyi, established their own countries, and met again.

So Chen Jian led the main force of the Xia Kingdom, plus the elite of thirty cities to play the great river eastward; Eyue led his troops from Echeng to the east.

In the forty-fifth year of the Chinese calendar, Chen Jian broke the dome, broke the city, sent the head of the Dongyi priests back to Huacheng, broke the city for fifteen along the way, and the various departments of Dongyi surrendered, and finally saw the sea in the autumn of the forty-fifth year of the Chinese calendar, and built the city there called Qi.

By the summer of the forty-sixth year of the Chinese calendar, although there were still many cities in Dongyi, the two networks had surrounded the Dongyi Plain.

Chen Jian divided more than 30 small states along the river, and divided Eyue to Qidi, as a marquis, he had the obligation to replace the Xia State to conquer Yidi within a thousand miles and break the oath of the small Chinese state. After arriving at the coast of the East China Sea, more than 20 small countries were divided along the seaside to the south.

From Echeng to the coast of the East China Sea, more than 40 small countries were divided, and people from various tribes were migrated, and the Xia Kingdom provided iron tools.

At this point, the encirclement network of Dongyi has been formed, and there is the existence of the Xia State, a super-large suzerain, and the various Chinese states do not dare to fight for the time being, so they can only focus on seizing the land of Dongyi.

After returning to the Xia Kingdom, he went south along Onozawa, led his troops to defeat the southern regime that had already had a rudimentary form of unification, and let the tribes on the south bank of the Great River start fighting again.

Among them, there are not only the leaders of the original clan, but also some of the internal merits of the Xia Kingdom are too high to be rewarded, but the internal Xia Kingdom is not titled, but as the administrator of the conquered area, nominally it still needs to be under the jurisdiction of the Xia State, and cannot be hereditary, but in fact the benefits are excellent: such as using the local people to plant and reclaim the land, so that the land can be inherited by private individuals.

By the 48th year of the Huali calendar, the Dahe tribes had stabilized, and with advanced weapons and cultural advantages such as gunpowder, artillery, cavalry, chariots, iron armor, and muskets, the cities and towns of the feudal districts were developing steadily.

Whether it was slavery or the national system, it used various policies to quickly assimilate the wild people in the territory, and constantly sent young people from all over China to study in Huacheng, abiding by various systems that were set at the beginning.

Inside the Xia Kingdom, nominally it had 800 li of territory, but in fact most of the people were concentrated in nine cities, distributed along rivers or lakes, to ensure that the Xia army could reach at any time and was convenient to manage.

Not counting Xia County and Xinhua City, Xia Kingdom has a population of 400,000, of which the newly built Huacheng has a population of 100,000.

Relying on the promise of emancipating the slaves, the slaves used four years of labor in exchange for human status, and also brought a huge amount of new land to the Xia Kingdom as public property.

Now that everything has settled down, the series of policies that Xia Guo has been preparing for war since its birth requires a comprehensive change, and this change is extremely reactionary and extremely anti-human.

The land cultivated by those slaves was given back to the countrymen, and the full system of military merit was abolished.

All that remained of the government's monopoly was iron smelting, copper smelting, military industry, gold and silver mines, coinage, and salt. Private involvement was strictly forbidden, and the rest was encouraged to run privately, and even a portion of the state-run workshops were split off as incentives for some people.

The land was privately owned, it was allowed to buy and sell, it was forbidden to rent tenants, only hired workers were allowed to pay money, tenants were not allowed to rent land, all taxes were levied from the landowners, and the land belonged to the tenants if they were rented to others for planting and rent.

The strict inheritance system of the eldest sons, the vast majority of all the means of production are distributed to the eldest sons, and the property can be divided equally or according to the will.

Relying on the advantages of a small country and widows, Chen Jian can control these young people who do not inherit the rights to the means of production, or collectively let them migrate to reclaim and build new cities, or let them become cheap laborers.

It was strictly forbidden to hire a man to pay that person or to plant it himself, and the tax was levied only on the landowner, and all the land that was rented belonged to the tenant.

All seemingly reactionary systems were aimed at pooling capital together and vigorously developing primitive industries and workshops while the feudal states were gradually stabilizing.

Let the equality of the name and the inequality of the means of production replace the inequality of blood.

Chen Jian estimated the development of each feudal country, and felt that relying on the population that the entire Huaxia could control, it could completely support a huge market.

As a result, stricter laws were introduced, which were clearly inclined to the exploitation of capital, and won the support of the majority of the original Xia people.

The first Xia people occupied large tracts of land, and the state provided agricultural tools to support them, and hired a large number of emancipated slaves who had nothing but human identity. These people are no longer landlords, but agricultural capitalists, agricultural capitalists supported by the state.

Hwaseong is located by a river, and workshops such as sawmills, ironworks, and carpentry factories with hydraulic hammers or saws accommodate a large number of cheap laborers.

The cotton textile and wool textile industries, as well as the corresponding transportation industry and inland waterway shipbuilding industry, are also booming.

At this time, the reactionary nature of the inheritance of the eldest children had not yet been revealed, and the labor force was mainly dependent on those who had been slaves.

This kind of system is Chen Jian's gambling, if the industrial revolution cannot be held back before the population development reaches the limit, it will be the greatest dream of all the people at the bottom, land annexation, and homesteaders.

But the advantage is that it can provide enough cheap labor for a period of time, prevent the land from being divided into small pieces, and prevent the capital from splitting.

From the perspective of human nature, it is good for children to inherit property equally; From the point of view of capital, it seriously affects the process of capital accumulation, creating a large number of yeoman farmers, dividing the land into patches, and small farmers planting male cultivators and women weaving for self-sufficiency.

But these alone are not enough, Chen Jian drafted the strict "Education Act", stipulating that after five years, the children of Xia Guoguo must receive a strict enlightened education after the age of six, and if they fail to pass the enlightenment assessment, cannot achieve sufficient literacy and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division algorithms, and understand some simple laws, they will be fined.

A large number of students in the previous ten years were in full swing, because at this time there were basically no rural areas, but only nine towns around Hwaseong, so it was much easier to build schools and the like.

Establish a strict examination system, increase the time of enlightenment education to five years, after five years, select some excellent transfer to the technical secondary school to learn some means of being a small official or a technician in various workshops, study for two years and practice for two years. Particularly excellent can be admitted to middle school, and then enter the Jixia Palace to study.

Chen Jian let go of most of his powers, anyway, there are not too many important things, and now he can't control it, everything is mainly to recuperate, and he himself uses the rest of the time to focus on education, revise laws, supervise some general directions, and cultivate the management art of officials.

During this period, Chen Jian stepped down from his duties as high priest and built a building dedicated to sacrifices.

In addition to the building, one of the most magnificent megalithic buildings in the entire Xia Kingdom was also built, called the Temple of the Sages.

When he stepped down as the high priest, Chen Jian respectfully placed the jade pendant, which symbolized the high priest, on the sacrificial building, and carved five lines of characters in stone underneath.

See the world, interpret the world, change the world. To know is to know, and not to know is not to know.

He told everyone that he had no way to see the whole world, no way to explain the whole world, and no way to change the whole world in the most difficult way, so he was not qualified to be the high priest. If someone can know everything, know everything, explain everything, see all the places where there are mountains, rivers and earth, see the sun, moon and stars and explain the movement of the sun, moon and stars, then this person can become a high priest.

And he said to the people, If you can't see the whole world, look before your eyes; If you can't explain the whole world, then explain what you have seen; If you can't change the whole world, then change what has been explained.

All those who have contributed to China will have their names engraved in the Shrine of the Sages and will be sacrificed for eternity. How to be selected has a series of rules set by him.

As for the ancestors and heaven and earth, Chen Jian didn't want to make a religion, so he had to tell everyone: Heaven and earth have their own set of rules that we can't figure out, and you have nothing to do with the ancestors of heaven and earth since you were born.

If the ancestors of heaven and earth decided that a person can live to be 90 years old, that means that this person can live to be 90 years old without starving, getting sick, dying in battle, or dying. You can live to ninety, but you just die in the well, that is not destined by heaven and earth, but your own choice.

Divination is meaningless, if heaven and earth are destined for everything, divination can change what heaven and earth are already doomed, so how can it be said that heaven and earth are destined for everything?

All the efforts you have made since birth, are meaningful, because you will not have future lives.
