The whole meeting lasted from the ninth day of August to the thirteenth day of August, quarreling for five days, and there were countless times when they attacked each other and even met each other with fists and feet, but the rules and the fallacies and heresies thrown out by Chen Jian were also perfected day by day.

Indeed, today's roads, exchanges, culture, and other objective material aspects are not enough to form a country with similar language, habits, customs, rituals, and other imaginary communities of people, so why not use public opinion to keep people's way of thinking up to the speed of material change while this material condition grows day by day? As a result, after the material conditions are reached, it will be a matter of course, the relatives will be one, and the authority of the alliance leader will be natural.

Nothing is taken for granted, just an extension of habitual thinking.

For example, in this era, most people don't think about why they have to worship their ancestors. In their eyes, worshipping ancestors is as natural as having a sun in the sky and a moon on the earth.

This is true even if it is moral. Honoring one's parents is a matter of course. But after careful study, it is not because of the disrespect for parents, so when they are old, their children will not support themselves This dark core is in it.

The beginning of this habitual thinking is the restraint that arises for the sake of man's animality destroying man's own being.

After the emergence of the class, it is reduced to a supplement to the manifestation of the will of the ruling class, creating a general belief at the bottom in the form of public opinion, supplemented by primitive morality such as honoring one's parents, and integrating what is wanted to be instilled with the common choice of mankind.

Most people only have the way of thinking that there is a difference between good and bad, and not supporting their parents is bad, why is it bad? Because of the violation of morality, everyone supports it. As a result, those who violate the rule of "everybody does this" must be bad people. Bad people are bad, let's not do it.

When "everyone does it and it's a matter of course" is mixed with some things that the upper class wants everyone to do, and they stick together and cannot be separated, causing confusion in definitions, it is the time when public opinion propaganda is successful.

Whether it is the theory of tigers giving birth to tigers and cats in various clans, or the unity of relatives that Jian Chen wants, they are all confused with those things that are accepted by the bottom. The five points in the rules are the that has been taken for granted, and the other five points are to merge with those and strive to become a matter of course.

Chen Jian put forward a total of 30 rules, starting from the third time, it was a secret investment, 17 of the 30 rules were passed, and 13 were vetoed.

The rules adopted included the circulation of goods in the various towns, and no obstruction or taxation in any city; Relatives between cities can freely exchange with each other; Each town had to send priests and others to Onozawa to learn writing, and so on.

With a common interest base and threats, many rules can be passed, but if the conference alliance succeeds last winter, I am afraid that none of these rules can be passed, and sometimes some people with different interests will be kicked out, and the cohesion will be higher.

The rest of the people also came up with more than twenty rules of all kinds of strange things, including what Jian Chen didn't want to see, but at this time he had to compromise and retreat, in order to seek the support of the rest of the clan.

A total of 38 articles were put together, and it was agreed that they could be supplemented in the future as a general outline of the code of conduct of all kinship cities and clans, but they were not as cumbersome and detailed as the "Book of Rites".

The leaders of each city had to meet once every two years in the city where the leader of the alliance was located, and continued to enforce the rules. Every year, according to the size of the city, rich and poor, each city is divided into sacrifices that need to be paid to the ancestors, and the head of the alliance presides over the sacrifice.

In addition, each city will elect a wise person to form the Council of Elders of the Great River Tribes, who will be responsible for overseeing the fulfillment of the obligations of the head of the alliance, and at the same time judge right and wrong according to the rules in place of each clan, and the members of the Council of Elders must live in the city where the leader of the alliance is located all year round, and be elected on a rotational basis every three years.

Each city must elect a man to explain to the people the rules of these alliances, and not to conceal them.

The leaders of each city must train successors before they grow old, and replace the leaders when the old leaders are old, so as to reduce disputes and internal friction caused by sudden deaths.

When a new leader succeeds, he reports to the Council of Elders, who succeeds to the position of leader in the presence of the Council of Elders, and swears to abide by the rules of the Great River before taking over.

The disputes of the various clans must first be mediated in the alliance, and the internal disputes of the rest of the cities are strictly forbidden to meddle, and it is forbidden to use such means as digging up river embankments and burning corn fields in the battle, and it is necessary to fight a decisive battle in the field with a dignified and upright momentum, or to duel with enemies, chariot battles, bow shooting, etc.

Even though there are so many rules, it is still essentially a slightly more closely connected tribal alliance, and there is no way and it is impossible to achieve true absolute authority at this time, but with foreign wars, flooding of large rivers, etc., this authority will be strengthened day by day.

The rules are just the beginning, and the people of each city are legally allowed to accept the fact of kinship alliances and restrict their way of thinking.

With the development of productive forces, the connection of roads and water transportation, the trade between various cities, and the spread of writing technology in Xia City, the connection between cities and towns will be closer. Thus creating the material conditions for unification much later.

It was the evening of August 13 after the 38 simple rules were settled, and although everyone was tired, they still made a secret covenant in the secret room that they could not show to anyone.

The implicit covenant involves securing the succession of their respective heirs or those they wish to elect; When it is not ensured, the cities will be armed to intervene; Marriage is to be made within the families of the chiefs; Slave revolts were jointly requisitioned; No city shall take in slaves from the rest of the cities without permission; and the confirmation of the conquest of several clans that had quit the alliance next summer.

In addition to that, it's about the following names.

The types of performances of the Natsujo Touring Troupe are not allowed to advocate the non-blood selection system of Natsujo, Onozawa is not allowed to recruit the children of commoners in each city, and it is not allowed to advocate the land system of Natsujo and it is strictly forbidden to influence the rest of the kinship towns; Xia Cheng was responsible for concocting a number of theatrical performances advocating the theory of bloodline and the theory of constant production and perseverance, and at the same time asked Chen Jian to write a part of the logical and logical legal principles of these as a secretary.

In this regard, Chen Jian made great concessions, accepted them in full, and guaranteed them, and at the same time apologized for the performance of the Summer City Tour Troupe, and compensated a part of the bronze to say that it would not be an example.

Then a question was raised that all the leaders were concerned about: how could Xia Cheng help them train the army and teach those children?

The promise given by Chen Jian was: 20 soldiers in the city, 10 soldiers in the clan, and then rotate after three years to ensure that the combat effectiveness is similar to that of the black-clothed army in Xia City. The Chengyi clan sent about ten people to study in Onozawa for a period of five years. After five years, he taught the children to read, count, farm, manage, and train, and gave the city to the soldiers he trained to give them jurisdiction, and he was not qualified to command the soldiers they sent to train.

His condition was that within five years the soldiers' clothing, weapons, and food would be borne by the various cities. During the child's study in Onozawa, he has the right to jurisdiction, punishment, punishment, and punishment, and once he is expelled for being stubborn, he will never be allowed to enter Onozawa. When the children are studying in Onozawa, they are to be called Mr., and they are to be treated like their uncle, and so on.

There are not many conditions, and they can be met relative to the promise, but some people oppose the title of sir, saying that Chen Jian is not very old, similar to some children, where is it before his birth? But since you have been guided by your ancestors and know something before others, you should be called a prophet.

Chen Jian resolutely opposed the title of prophet and insisted on the title of sir, and everyone had to give up.

All that remains to consider is which of your own children to send.

Su Yue had already set an example by letting Su Tang follow Jian Chen and send the children of the closest families in the city.

Since this is the case, the rest of the people also understand that if they can really learn all kinds of skills in Xia Cheng within five years, the person who will come back in the future will have twenty guards in his hands and have a way to govern the city, but they are afraid that the position of the leader will also be that person, and he can only go to his favorite sons and daughters. In five years, they will not grow old, and after five years, there will be time for them to accumulate fame in the city, and only the children who may take over in the future are the least likely to be deceived by Chen Jian, so that they can think about their own city, because the city will be theirs in the future.

Due to the long distance, it was decided that after the Pregnancy Festival next year, the children and soldiers would gather in Sucheng. As for those who follow them, let them follow them directly.

The farewell is on August 15, when there is no Mid-Autumn Festival, but the moon is still round and the sky is cold.

A group of noble children of various ethnic groups who were about the same age as Chen Jian called Mr. Chen Jian at the dock, and Chen Jian glanced at their parents after returning the salute, and said in his heart that after this group of children go back in five years, you will definitely not think what it will be like, and your children will pull you down from the position of leader at that time.

Young people are full of longing for the journey in the next five years, there are a lot of strange good things in Xia Cheng, after watching Xia Cheng's plays, they naturally think that the women in Xia Cheng are as beautiful and charming as Shi Cheng, and they all have a good voice, and those good things that they have never seen, and after completing their studies, they will be the same as Ji Xia, who is not convinced by returning to the city like that?

It's just that a girl in the crowd frowned and flattened her mouth, not very happy.

A young man who was the same age has now become a gentleman, and the gentleman is nothing, but he said that he had to treat him like his own uncle. But is it difficult for me to like my uncle, so what is it? The heart rises and falls with the river, and no one can listen to it.

Listening to the chatter of a few people next to him about what the castle in Onozawa was like, I couldn't help but get irritated, and I looked up at the river in the distance, waiting for the boat to come.

When the shadow of the sail appeared on the river in the distance, the girl let out a long sigh leisurely, glanced at her "husband", and found that the other party was drawing the wall of Sucheng on a piece of linen with a charcoal pen, and his fingers were comparing the protruding places of the newly built city wall, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head, and he didn't know what he was doing.

When the boat docked, he just waved his hand and asked the people in black clothes in Xia Cheng to lead these young people onto the boat, still looking down and pondering.

But after a short time a few men in gray linen clothes jumped out of the boat, carrying a black stone in their hands, and carrying a large wicker basket, which was also full of strange stones, and ran to the side of "sir," and said a few words that he could not understand.

"Sir", who had been indifferent, jumped up suddenly, dumped the wicker basket on the ground, picked up a few stones, asked many questions with a worried face, and at last jumped up like a child, turned over, and laughed with two broken stones, and was no longer as old-fashioned as before.

The girl didn't know that a few broken stones, or a new history, were even more representative of history than the word history itself. (To be continued.) )
