Feng Hao refused to let go, and Chen Jian couldn't force it, thinking about it, he could only solve it slowly, anyway, within two or three years, the management of Windy City would be slowly encroached upon by Xia Cheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

One day in mid-September, Chen Jian received a rod symbolizing power from thousands of people, a simple piece of wood, a skilled carpenter can make several a day, but after being passed on by thousands of people, the meaning has changed.

With the help of the power of the Dongyi people, he easily fulfilled the dictatorship that many leaders dreamed of, and at the same time had the prestige and trust that many clan leaders expected.

After getting what he wanted most, it was time to think about returning.

It was already late autumn, and it would be even more difficult to delay the journey back for a while, now these people were already in their own hands, and every death was a loss for Xia Cheng.

The soldiers of Xia Cheng knew the news of their return and were sure that the war was over, so they could ask their questions.

The soldiers had chosen Chen Jian, along with all the city leaders who had followed him on the expedition, and they had known for a long time that Jian was going to build a city here, and who would stay would be a matter of concern to them. The reason to convince the noble heirs of those cities could not convince the people of Xiacheng.

Strategy is one thing, but it's not possible to get everyone to agree on a decision because of that big picture. He is the leader of Xia City, so he still needs to stand in Xia Cheng's perspective instead of the perspective of the leaders of the various tribes to persuade the people of Xia City.

"The city was built here for the war with Dongyi, you already know this, and what I want to explain is something different from these."

"The terrain is flat, there is no problem with three crops in two years, and the soil is fertile, which is suitable for large-scale planting. As long as we gain a foothold here and implement some policies that are different from those of the rest of the cities, there will be a steady stream of people fleeing here to start a new life. ”

"In Yucheng or Xiacheng, the new policy needs to take into account the attitude of the rest of the cities, their relatives and leaders will be resolutely opposed, we will become the enemy of everyone, that is not necessary. But I tossed around in the land of Dongyi, far away from them, and the opposition I received would be smaller. ”

"There is such a place, the slaves in Dongyi and our relatives who have been plundered have a way to escape. As long as we stand firm, it won't take three years for 10,000 people to flee here. Even if these 10,000 people can't be soldiers, as long as they farm and pay taxes like Xia Cheng, we will have more strength of 10,000 people. Why not do it? ”

"If one escapes, we'll be stronger."

"Besides, we are going to trade and exchange with the Dongyi people in the future, otherwise who will we sell our things to? With the exchange, our language, writing, customs, ancestor worship, etc., will continue to be accepted by the Dongyi people. And our coins can also be promoted here, only if they accept our money and agree with our money, money can buy things. ”

"You also know that the ethnic group on the south bank of the Great River sent an envoy to Sucheng last year to bring white cloth and rice, and I also sent people to follow to exchange some seeds, and I should be back soon."

"When the time comes, the kind of white flowers that can weave cloth will be planted here, and the people around Yuxia will be guaranteed food with only a minimum population, and more people can be put into the workshops, crowding out the small workshops in the rest of the cities. This thing is simpler to weave than hemp, and the cloth is better, and the dyeing and spinning department can also expand the scale and innovate the tools, at least without soaking and tearing the hemp skin, which will always save a lot of manpower. ”

These reasons were very realistic, and the cities near Yucheng were already quite dissatisfied with Chen Jian's acquiescence to the fact that the slaves from various cities had fled to the vicinity of Onozawa, and the soldiers knew a thing or two about this.

Population is wealth, the soldiers of Xia City are bound to the city because of the special merit system, slaves are not of much significance to private individuals, but they are clear about the truth that people can create wealth.

Some things that are inconvenient to do in the Great River Tribes can be done here with confidence and boldness.

This city cannot be the same as the rules of Xia Cheng or Yu City, to encourage people to flee here to enrich the population, the initial policy must not be complicated, it must be easy to understand and tempting.

The people who plundered in Xia Cheng and the slaves who surrendered to Cheng are still in control of the original way, they have come, but for those who have not yet come, they need to be lured.

Chen Jian decided to leave some cattle and sheep behind and transport a batch of iron farming tools from upstream after the beginning of spring next year. Some of the cities under the jurisdiction of Xia continued to work on slave estates or farms, and those who fled here were encouraged to cultivate their land.

The government of Xia Cheng can provide iron tools for cultivating oxen, and after three years of cultivation of the land by the fleeing people, the land can be used by the people who cultivate it, and Xia Cheng only needs to collect taxes.

This model can't operate as efficiently as Yucheng, nor can it transform everyone into potential power, but with more than 10,000 Dahe relatives attached, Chen Jian feels that the basic population of the world is enough, and there is no longer a need to plan everyone into the city system.

This is also a new model of the system, giving each city an example to learn from, and helping other cities complete the reform as soon as possible, so that the workshop system of Xia Cheng can develop faster and sell more things.

Once the civil strife in Xiacheng is over, there will be three or four cities belonging to the Xiacheng government, with a population of nearly 40,000, and the education system has also cultivated a lot of literate young people, so you can try the centralized bureaucratic system and completely separate Xiacheng from the old aristocratic clan system.

It is an established plan for places that can be directly governed by the government to be divided into feuds, places that cannot be directly governed by sub-feuds to grab territory, places that are difficult to even divide feuds are subject to the tributary system, cities and towns directly under the jurisdiction are governed by the way of officials, and talents are selected by examinations.

All he had to do was consider the candidate for the town guard and nominate him at the upcoming National Assembly. To have prestige, and to be able to carry out his plan to let Dongyi slaves escape, there are really a few candidates.

Xia Cheng must keep people here as management and garrison, but there is no need to rush too much, as long as a part of the backbone of a few departments is transferred by next spring.

The more than 10,000 rescued relatives must be taken away, some of the slaves who defected should be left, and some of the Dongyi prisoners should also be left, a total of about 8,000 people must be left.

The soldiers of Xiacheng should leave 500 people as military pillars, and the candidates who stayed behind were basically miners or farms, and the rescued miners could work instead of the people left, and would not affect the basic operation of Yucheng.

The task of these 500 soldiers this winter is to prevent the Dongyi slaves from escaping, and to ensure that they survive the winter with food, and tomorrow spring the selected town guards and a complete management shelf will come here to truly realize the jurisdiction of the colony.

Mr. Chen told the hundreds of people who were selected to stay that he promised that someone would replace them next year, but not now. The military system of Xia City also needs to be changed, and it is necessary to support more full-time soldiers, as well as standing conscripts, so as to ensure that there are enough soldiers to defend between the cities, and enough soldiers to move and garrison normally.

These problems must be resolved at the National People's Council scheduled for early next year, and how to turn several cities into one country, and how to adapt to the new era with a new system are the problems that the entire summer city will face.
