Half a month later, some people in Yucheng had already begun to prepare to go to Sucheng, and all kinds of gifts had been loaded and transported to the other side of the lake, and the black-clothed guard and Yulinwei had prepared a hundred stirrup riders each to follow Chen Jian, and this time there was no chariot to follow.

While everyone was busy, Chen Jian finally waited for the plan of the Planning and Statistics Department for the papermaking workshop, this time written on paper instead of wooden tablets.

After looking at it, the general logic is correct, and the method is basically implemented according to what I taught before. Although there were still some things that had not been taken into account and there were still many deficiencies, Jian Chen happily stamped his mark and agreed to this method.

And when I went there, I was very rewarded and encouraged everyone, and I didn't say anything about the shortcomings for the time being. After all, it was the first time they had done something like this on their own, and it was off to a good start.

The personnel who need to be adjusted are handed over to the household department, and the summer harvest has just been completed, and the autumn planting has not yet begun. According to the previous plan, it was to give preference to those who were familiar with the rules of the summer city, because the workshop was easier than agricultural work, and the money was more, and there could be some theater and other performances in the evening, and some farms were worse.

The matter of selecting and assigning manpower also quickly got a clue, and the operation of the Xia Kingdom has gradually entered the right track, except for some general directions such as war and foreign policy decisions, the rest can basically operate automatically.

Just when Chen Jian was full of confidence in his trip, at night, a fast horse came to the other half of the other half of Yucheng, and after taking out the special mark of the Supply and Marketing Division, he arranged a boat to return to Yucheng overnight.

The supply and marketing department of Xia Guo has cargo stations in nearby cities, selling primary handicraft products from various workshops, and of course, secretly acting as a spy to find out the news, and continuously summing up all kinds of news in the vicinity to the central decision-making level of Xia Guo.

Where there is a bad harvest, where there is a good harvest, where there is flooding...... I don't dare to say that it is too far away, but I still know it well within four hundred miles around Yucheng.

This time, the news was not a flood or flood, but the death of the leader of a city on the West Bank of Jersey.

Sudden death is normal in this era, especially in the summer, and even a little older is not murder or anything like that.

After the people from the supply and marketing department of that city got the news, they quickly passed the news back, and the reason was very simple: the leader of that city had an heir who studied in the Yucheng Academy, but the heirs who studied in the Yucheng Academy were only one of them, and the rest did not go to study at all, but stayed in the city.

The person who delivered the news woke up Jian Chen overnight, and Jian Chen immediately lit the oil lamp, frowning and thinking. The leader died, but he was not sad or sad, of course they had met, and they were not familiar with each other.

However, the first wife of the deceased chieftain was surnamed Su, and he left behind two children, neither of whom studied in the school in Yucheng.

When Yucheng was first built, no one thought that it would become what it is today, some cities sent some noble heirs for copper smelting, military training and other skills, except for a few cities, most of the city leaders' ideas are very simple: leaving their own city, it is equivalent to staying away from the right of the city, and the heirs thrown to Yucheng are not very valued.

Su Yue was originally because Chen Jian had done him a great favor and found an excuse for him to interfere in the rest of the cities, and Su Tang insisted on coming, so he sent his most valued son here.

At the beginning, it seemed that most of the children who studied in Yucheng would still be relatives when they went back, but even if they were the parents of the leader, they could be regarded as completely missing the position of the leader.

But no one thought that Xia Cheng could develop so fast, from a cheeky and other relatives with everyone, shameless to say that he was also moved from the banks of the river, in order to curry favor with Su Cheng, it has become a powerful force no less than Su Cheng in just a few years.

Originally, these young people who had no hope of inheriting the leader had already improved their status in this section of the city northwest of Yucheng and southeast of Xiacheng.

Moreover, this city is farther away from Sucheng than Yucheng, and it is located near the plain on the west bank of the lake, so it is very convenient for ships to come and go. Nowadays, land access is difficult, and the waterway is the most convenient, and this city is equivalent to the mouth.

Those noble heirs who followed their own learning now have different thoughts, and they must set an example in this matter, otherwise there are no substantial benefits to talking about so much, but I am afraid that the effect will not be good.

I have to let these people see that calling me Mr. is not in vain, and that they have cultivated ambition for them as a gentleman, and of course they have to help their disciples realize this ambition.

Moreover, if you give slaves and war exploits and fiefdoms, you can't give them in vain, now this opportunity is not the best, if this person waits for three or five years and then dies, then the opportunity is right, but he has no ability to decide when a person will die later...... It's still possible to die early.

After thinking about it all night, at dawn the next day, Jian Chen hurried to the school, called the young man out alone, and told him the news of his father's death.

The young man froze there, and then burst into tears.

"There is no resurrection from the dead, and your father is the leader of the city, and his greatest wish is to make the city richer and the people free from hunger and cold. You, as a son, are right to cry because of sadness, but after crying, you should inherit your father's last wishes, this is the real filial piety. ”

The young man wiped his eyes, and Jian Chen said, "I'll arrange a boat to send you back, and I can see your father for the last time." When your father entrusted you to me, I didn't expect it to be the last time, and I always wanted to see it. ”

The young man whimpered, "Sir, I am only afraid that my mother will also be buried and follow my father, and I ask my husband to accompany me back." My brother and I were not born to the same mother, and they always hated me, and my father didn't want me to be troubled at home, so he let me study with my husband......"

He cried sadly, Chen Jian was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly agreed: "You must go to go, and those people in your city must also go back." Go and tell your fellow city about this, and I'll go and prepare the ships and the like. ”

After separating, Jian Chen immediately called Ji Bai and asked him to immediately arm the two hundred people who were going to be taken to Sucheng, and at the same time gathered a few carpenters with good skills who could make coffins, and asked people to prepare various sacrifices and send them later.

Once again, the superiority of the top-down tightly controlled system demonstrated efficiency far beyond its time, and by noon the ships were ready.

The off-duty soldiers trained in Yucheng also showed their due sadness according to the customs of the city, and Chen Jian was in the same boat with the young people who were close to the city.

The boats moved along the edge of the lake, and on the shore of the lake were two hundred horsemen on horseback, followed by some horses.

On the boat, the young men secretly glanced at Jian Chen, wanting to say something, but finally held back. They wanted something, but they were too embarrassed to speak, and they were afraid that they would be taught a lesson by the gentleman if they opened at this time......

It's just that they don't know that their sanctimonious gentleman is thinking at this time...... It's a pity that this man died three or five years earlier, otherwise how could there be such trouble.
