Chapter 114: Division
Everyone was full of expectations, but they were full of worries, and finally waited for Jian Chen's proposal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Since this is the first time that the Great River tribes have discussed the issue of the chief, they have to convince the people. What convinced them was not the method this time, but the rules for the future. If this method is not convincing to the Chinese people, then how can the rules in the future be convincing to everyone? ā
"Just as if I were to enforce a rule, I set up a log and said that he who could carry it outside the city would give him a hundred dollars. Then I don't want everyone to fight against wood in the future, but for the rules behind the wood can be enforced. ā
"If you don't do well this time so that the people of the country will complain, then in the future, the rules of the great rivers will only be laughed at and the people will not be able to abide by them; If they do a good job this time, the people of the country will think that the rules of the Great River are good to them, and they will naturally follow the new rules and will not oppose them. ā
The leaders all nodded yes, full of confidence in Chen Jian, the future high priest, at least there are few priests who can say such a person who can understand the truth without the help of gods, if this mind and intelligence are used in the place that all the leaders want, who can refute it?
Su Yue didn't have any objections, thinking in his heart Ji Xia, Ji Xia, the more you say that it is difficult to refute, the more dangerous it will be when you become the high priest - what you say is not what everyone wants to hear, but everyone can't say you, then there is only one way left to shut you up.
For a long time, Chen Jiancai said in the reasonable shouts of everyone's praise: "The sons left by the leader are all talented, but I, as Ling's husband, know Ling better, so I am more intimate. According to the rules of the Xia Kingdom, it is natural that whoever has talent will be the leader, I know that everyone doesn't like to hear this, but you have to think so......"
"It's like if you get a deer and you stink when you can't finish it in the summer, and of course you'll give it to someone else. But how will you divide it? Do you give it to someone you don't know? Or do you give it to someone you know, someone you know, or someone you know? A long time ago, when the clan was in the past, it was naturally distributed to the whole clan, but now it is not. ā
"So as the King of Xia, I will support Ling as the leader of the rules of Xia City; But according to everyone's normal thinking, I also want to support Ling, after all, I am closer to Ling than his brother. ā
Everyone hurriedly looked at Su Yue's face, and then at Jian Chen, and said in their hearts, which rule did you choose? The result is the same, but the statement is completely different, and we prefer your statement of dividing the deer to eat.
The city priests who were ready to force Chen Jian to express their stance at that time thought of a "meeting gift" for the high priest. Now you can say that you are confused and confused, but when you become a high priest, you can't say so confused, you have to give us an explanation: is it talent or blood kinship? You'll have to give us an explanation.
Su Yue was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "What Ji Xia said is reasonable, then of course I am the elder brother who supports Ling." My reasons are the same as Ji Xia's, and my talent and closeness are the same. After all, I don't know much about that Ling, and I don't have the talent to see it. ā
Everyone looked left and right, and did not speak, this matter itself has nothing to do with them, neither uncle blood relatives nor master-apprentice inheritance, but this matter must support someone.
"This is the first time that I have had a disagreement with the leader of Suyue, but this is neither a battle with Yidi, nor a flood of the river, I, the leader of the Xia Kingdom and the fake leader of Weicheng, always have to express my opinion, I hope the leader of Suyue will not be surprised."
"How so? That's how it should be. Am I, the leader, now afraid to make all the leaders dare not speak? This is simply my guilt, Ji Xia should not be recorded in the history books like when he first saw the firmament. ā
Everyone laughed for a while, relieved the sluggish atmosphere, and said in their hearts that we didn't dare to speak, but we didn't want to speak now, and it was none of our business who would be the leader of that city, but you two had to force us to speak.
Jian Chen sighed and said, "We can't hurt the harmony of the family, and we can't let the people in that city think that we chose the wrong person, it seems that there is only one way." ā
"Then divide the city in half, and each of them will take the position of chief for the time being. From this day onwards, until the winter of the 39th year of the Chinese calendar, the two false chiefs of the city will temporarily coexist, and whoever can get the support of the people and build the city better will be the leader. ā
"If the defeated one refuses to let it, the people of the country oppose it, and our Dahe tribes should also fulfill the duties of the family and clan, and send troops to enforce our rules in order to maintain the rules of the oath."
"One is to let the clansmen of the Great River tribes know that if they don't abide by the rules and regulations or the things agreed in the oath, the rest of the tribes will be requisitioned, and then the rules we negotiated can naturally be enforced; Besides, we won't let the leader of Suyue and me quarrel over this matter, this is not what we are going to do this time. ā
"Now that the east has not been leveled, I heard that Mu Hu and Qiongxi have done some big things together, and they have looted a lot of gunpowder and learned how to dig tunnels to attack the city, your city has not been reinforced, and the road has not been leveled, so there should be no disagreement over this small matter at this time."
Su Yue cursed a few words in his heart, but he did not object at this time. Nowadays, opposition is simply a side of a power struggle, which is simply not enough. What he needs is to turn the power struggle into a struggle of ideas after praising Chen Jian as the high priest......
Because Su Yue understood that the attitudes of these leaders towards this matter were roughly divided into three types: the group led by Ewei supported Chen Jian, his own kinship alliance supported him, and most of the rest did not matter.
But once he became a high priest, the battle of ideas became only two attitudes: for and against. Now these indifferent things will become opposed at that time.
Now the Xia Kingdom has just come up with stirrups, muskets, cloth armor and other things that even deceive and fool people, and no one is willing to oppose it if it does not force the leaders of various cities to the Jedi, and they all have the illusion that they can have their own iron-smelting workshops in three years - smelting workshops can be without, but the rights must be inherited by blood and maintain the independence of each city, if the iron-smelting workshops are exchanged for the latter, no one will change them. It is better to have the right to control the stone than to exchange the iron for the right.
Nowadays, many cities are still immersed in the illusion of peaceful coexistence and the unity of their families, and they are not contrasted by the precedent of centralizing power, and in any case, the fact that the city is the result of the joint intervention of the great river tribes.
And it was this kind of fantasy and Su Yue's ambiguous attitude that he did not explicitly oppose that made those cities that didn't care one after another say: "Ji Xia's method is novel, but you can also try it." In three or five years, you can always see whether it is a beautiful jade or a stubborn stone. ā
Su Yue laughed and said: "Then so be it, everyone will swear an oath, if there is still a conflict between the two brothers, then we can only send troops to support the one who has done well." ā
"In the future, as a rule, if the leader elects someone to succeed him during his lifetime, that person must be wise and capable, and if others want to usurp it, then we must jointly send troops to oppose it and support the one elected by the leader during his lifetime."
"If, like this incident, the deceased suddenly does not elect a successor in advance, we can come up with a way in the past three years, and we can't always use this method of trying separately. There is no way this time, next time there must be a rule, whoever should be is whom. ā
Everyone couldn't hear this outside the strings, and echoed: "That's it, whoever should be is who's, there must be a rule." ā
Several people looked at Jian Chen with a smile, and said in their hearts that this was what the high priest had to do. Who's who is who's; And why it's up to you to explain who is who's who.
They still have a lot of confidence in Jian Chen, and they are also very confident in their fantasies, and they look forward to a new explanation about heaven, earth, people, rights, leaders, etc., which is impossible for the clansmen to refute and is in line with the interests of the leader.
Jian Chen also looked at everyone with a smile, and said in his heart, I'm afraid that you will be disappointed, but I didn't carry wooden tablets and paper this time, but I brought stirrup armor and muskets.
